Chapter 124: The Original Culprit of the Theft
When Bei Zhiming saw the porcelain merchant enter the hall, he smiled at the corner of his lips and swayed the jade fan in his hand a few times.
The man knelt on the ground and said, "The villain's name is Wu San, and he is a porcelain merchant on Butterfly Street in the East City!" ”
Kitahara Tetsu's face was majestic: "The owner of Yuxiang Pavilion once bought two antiques from you, do you remember?" ”
Wu San straightened up, and saw Kitahara Zhejian's eyebrows flying obliquely, and on his cold and majestic face, his two eyes were as imposing as eagles, and he immediately lowered his head again and whispered, "No." The villain had never seen this girl Wang. ”
Bei Zhiyao saw Bei Zhiming's smug face, and saw that this Wu San did not have any fear. He smiled slightly: "Since you haven't seen it, how do you know that this shopkeeper is surnamed Wang?" ”
Wu San argued: "Everyone on Butterfly Street knows that Miss Wang's Yuxiang Pavilion has many teas and a unique taste. ”
Bei Zhiyao said again: "The 30,000 taels of silver tickets that Miss Wang gave to the shopkeeper Wu that day were all from the Three Princes' Mansion, as long as you check the home of the shopkeeper Wu, you should find something." ”
Na Wusan suddenly raised his head and said with a smile: "Impossible." I counted all the silver tickets that day, and I never closed the official house......" He suddenly lowered his head as if biting his tongue, and a cold sweat flowed.
A sly flash flashed on Bei Zhiyao's face: "Oh? The Wu shopkeeper never collects the official family's silver tickets? So how do you explain this? ”
After that, he ordered Fengji and others to bring over a box of gold.
Du Gonggong picked up a gold ingot and presented it to Kitahara Tetsu. Kitahara Zhe took a closer look and threw the gold ingots to the ground, which was obviously official silver!
He said sharply: "If you don't know the shopkeeper of Yuxiang Pavilion, how can you know that her surname is Wang?" Why do you remember that the silver Wang Xiaodian gave you that day was not official silver? Full of lies, drag me down, hit! ”
Everyone only heard a wail, and Na Wusan slapped the board and said intermittently: "Your Majesty, the villain tells the truth, tells the truth!" ”
Wu San was dragged to the hall, leaving a long blood mark. His face was pale and covered with sweat, and after coming into contact with Bei Zhiming's threatening eyes, a red blood trail suddenly appeared in his mouth.
Bei Zhiyao immediately went to pinch his chin, but he was still a few steps late. He touched Wu San's neck with his index finger and replied, "Father, he's dead." ”
Bei Zhiming smiled and said, "Since this person full of lies is dead, and Miss Wang is not a thief, then it is better to leave this matter at that." ”
The Wan Guifei moved to the front of the palace in small steps, tugged at the dragon robe and said, "Yes, the emperor, it's noon, and the girls are frightened!" ”
When Kitahara Tetsu heard this, a tired look appeared in his eyes, and he waved his hand: "That's it, you all go down!" ”
After that, Concubine Wan walked towards the dormitory with her support.
Bei Zhiyao spoke up to stop: "Father, the real thief, the son already knows!" ”
Kitahara Tetsu turned his head and said puzzledly: "You say, the person who stole the treasures in the palace? Who is it? ”
Beizhiyao's long eyebrows are slightly raised, Youlan's deep eyes, handsome and extraordinary face, and his gestures reveal a domineering spirit that shakes the world. His slender fingers glowed white in the sunlight: "You. ”
Kitahara Tetsu's face turned pale, and he almost thought that Kitajiyao's finger was referring to him! He followed Bei Zhiyao's line of sight, only to find that the person he was referring to was actually Wan Guifei beside him!
Wan Guifei's pupils shrank, and her fingers painted with red dankou pointed at herself: "What are you talking about, it's me?" ”
Bei Zhiyao nodded, and then motioned for Feng Ji to bring people to the hall.
Seeing a man being brought in by a big bundle of flowers, he raised his head, and everyone was shocked!
Kitahara Tetsu walked down the steps, his eyes lingering back and forth on this person, this person, with slender eyes, gray hair, and a burly body, obviously looked the same as the Wu San who had just died!
Bei Zhiming's eyes widened, what the hell is going on?
Beizhiyao said: "This person's name is Xiao Wu, and Wu San, who just died, is the brother of a mother's compatriot, let him tell everyone the truth of the matter." ”
Xiao Wu lowered his head and stammered, "Wu San, it's actually my twin brother." He and I are both in the porcelain business. Every three months, I would receive a treasure from my family, and then I would transport the treasure to my brother, and after selling the stolen goods, I would divide the money. ”
Bei Zhiming asked: "Since you know that it is a treasure lost in the palace, how dare you sell the stolen goods at will?" ”
Xiao Wu shook his head: "At first, I didn't know it was a treasure in the palace!" It wasn't until one time that I found an obituary posted by the government that I knew it was a lost treasure in the palace! But, but, the upper family said that it would never be discovered, so I dared to continue to let my brother sell. ”
Bei Zhiming suddenly had a bad premonition, and he hurriedly said: "Father, this person is the same as that Wu San, full of lies!" It is better to hand it over to the Kyoto government for interrogation and then make a decision. ”
Bei Zhiyao's pale red lips rippled into a dizzying smile: "Xiao Wu, you go on." Who is your home? ”
Xiao Wu raised his head, and saw that Beiyuan Zhe's eyebrows were coldly raised, and Concubine Wan Guifei's face was not good, so he immediately lowered his head and stammered: "My upper family, upper family, is Lu'an." ”
Kitahara Zhe turned his gaze to Wan Guifei: "Lu'an, Wan Zhichen's big butler?" ”
Wan Guifei wrung the Jinpa in her hand hard, gritted her teeth, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from the corner of her forehead. She never thought that what had been hidden for many years would be dug up today!
Wan Guifei moved lightly and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Lu'an is indeed the big housekeeper in Zhichen's Mansion!" But this matter must not be convicted of Zhichen based on this person's words! ”
Bei Zhiyao said: "Guifei Niangniang, of course you can't convict your brother so easily. In recent years, there have been many thefts of treasures in the palace, if there is no one in the palace to answer, how do others smuggle the treasures out of the palace? ”
When Kitahara Zhe heard this, there was some cold arrogance in his eagle eyes: "Wan Guifei, how to explain?" ”
Wan Guifei had tears in her beautiful eyes, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on her charming and graceful face, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Since the emperor suspects me, it is better for me to prove my innocence by death!" As he spoke, he slammed headlong into the gold-lacquered pillar in the hall.
Yu Tianqing's eyes were quick, and she grabbed Wan Guifei with one hand and threw her aside! Wan Guifei lay on the ground, a few wisps of green silk slipped down, and she couldn't help crying bitterly.
Kitahara Zhe frowned in disgust: "I just asked as usual, and you want to die or live like this!" ”
Bei Zhiyao said: "Father, in fact, as long as you interrogate the attendants around Concubine Wan, you can understand the ins and outs of the matter. ”
Bei Zhiming took a step forward and knelt on the ground: "Father, now, the two treasures you love the most have been found. There are many attendants and maids in the Yaoguang Palace, and it is not sure which person will see the wealth and open his eyes and do this great rebellion! The son is willing to try this case in person, and he must give his father an explanation! ”
Kitahara Zhe saw that Concubine Wan's eyes were red and swollen, and her soft little face was stained with tears, which had a pitiful charm, and seeing Bei Zhiming's face of loyalty, he immediately got up and said: "This matter will be handled by the prince!" Within five days, give me an explanation! ”
With that, he got up and strode out of the Yaoguang Palace.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Bei Zhiming's lips: "Come on, take Xiao Wu into custody." ”
Beizhiyao and Yu Tianqing glanced at each other, and they were speechless. Just walked a few steps, but heard a grim voice from behind: "Third brother, go slowly!" ”
Out of the palace gate, seeing Feng Biao waiting outside, Yu Tianqing and Bei Zhiyao got into the carriage.
She sighed and said quietly: "I didn't expect the emperor to be so partial. ”
Bei Zhiyao saw her eyelashes drooping, and her little face was full of unhappiness.
He grabbed her and said softly: "Today's matter, my father has actually understood the ins and outs of the matter. It's just that, as soon as the prince took office, he made a fuss about his mother stealing and selling the treasures in the palace, and there was no benefit to the court and the country. Second, the two most precious treasures have been recovered, and the remaining ones add up to these two precious. Third, he has always taken a fancy to Wan Guifei, and he is also giving her a chance, as long as she doesn't commit any more crimes, she is still a concubine under one person and above ten thousand people. ”
Yu Tianqing lazily leaned into his arms: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Xiaofeng a lot." A few days ago, Xiaofeng said that there is a person who always comes to Yuxiang Pavilion, and he doesn't care what kind of tea he drinks, but he cares a lot about the antiques on the second floor. ”
Beizhiyao smelled the fragrance in her hair and nodded: "Indeed." Bei Zhiming should have been Wu San who was discovered with me, but he didn't expect that Wu San also had a brother who was hiding in the shadows, and he didn't expect that the main messenger of this matter turned out to be his mother. "Shoot yourself in the foot, that's about it.
The carriage was galloping, and the carriage was filled with her faint fragrance. Seeing that she was dressed in purple and elegant, the pink brocade belt around her waist made her waist look like she was not holding her waist. He then opened her collar a little wider, revealing her curvaceous neck and crisp collarbones.
He kissed her lightly on the neck, then kissed her lips, greedily demanding her breath.
Her gradually misty gaze made his heart tremble. He instantly felt that all the self-control he had been proud of for so many years had been left behind.
"North... Stop... Yao. ”
Her staccato voice sounded a little bewildering, and his large hand slipped through her collar, its tentacles delicate and soft. He couldn't help but tease her: "It's nice to scream." ”
Before Yu Tianqing could catch his breath, his lips were sealed by him again. She could only make a muffled voice between breaths: "General? ”
"It's called Ah Zhi, or Yao'er."
He suddenly moved away from her lips, his eyes clear.
She took a big breath of fresh air, and the corners of her lips hooked up a playful smile: "Okay, Xiaobeizi." ”
She really learned from Ruan Xinghe! Seeing that she moved away and kept patting her chest with her hand, he decided not to tease her anymore: "Accompany me back to the General's Mansion to sleep for a while?" ”
He has spoken the word "sleep" hundreds of times more these days than in the past! It seems that there is only "sleep" left between the two of them!
"No, go back to Yuxiang Pavilion. Let's see how Wen'er and Xiaofeng are doing. ”
Bei Zhiyao moved closer to her and took her hand: "Then I'll go with you." ”
