Chapter 55: What Should the Emperor Do If He Kills the Nine Clans?
"Uncle Eight Princes!"
When Yu Zhiqian saw his Eighth Uncle again, he found that he was no longer as high-spirited as he was when they met for the first time, but a little cramped.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
King Qing saw Yu Zhiqian rubbing his hands a little crampedly, looking like he had something to say, but he didn't know where to speak, and finally sat in his position and was silent.
The beard is a little messy, there are some eye droppings at the corners of the eyes, it looks like he hasn't washed his face since the morning, he grins at the corners of his mouth from time to time, and his lips are a little chapped, he should be in a hurry.
Yu Zhiqian silently wrote down these details, and it seemed that this King Qing was really in a hurry.
"Uncle Eight Princes, you should know the purpose of coming to this palace, I don't know how Uncle Eight Princes will explain!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I was wronged, I didn't know He Zhong was that kind of person, I didn't treat him well, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" After finishing speaking, he took out an account book and handed it to Yu Zhiqian in a hurry: "This is Fengyue Xiaozhu's bill for this year, the bills of the past years are in the warehouse, the prince can read it at any time, I don't have any records about A Furong here!" ”
"Uncle Eight Wang, how long has this He Zhong been with you?"
"Prince, that damn guy was sold to my mansion by the servants at the age of ten, and he has been conscientious all these years, and he has never found anything wrong with him, I didn't expect him to do such a thing!"
"Ten years old? Where does he usually live? ”
"I don't know about this, Zhongxian, you talk to the prince!"
"Whoa!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the little Wei Zhongxian, is the steward of the Qingwang Mansion!"
“……”
Yu Zhiqian stared at the amiable fat man in front of him, this thing is called Wei Zhongxian? Isn't this a eunuch? Why did you run to Qingwangfu to be a housekeeper?
"Say it!"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this He Zhong is a street child in Luoyang, he was sold into the Qingwang Mansion at the age of ten, and at the age of fourteen, he learned simple abacus with the old slave, this kid has a good talent, the old slave recommended him to study in the school in the house, and then followed a few old people in the house to run outside for a few years!"
"Once again, the goods in Fuzhong were attacked by displaced people near Jiangnan West Road and Lingnan Road, He Zhong was stabbed several times, fought to the death, and held on until the government soldiers rescued, and was promoted to the ...... of stewardship."
Yu Zhiqian listened to the story of this He Zhong guy, it was very inspirational, and it can be said to be an inspirational template story in modern times, from a homeless orphan to the general manager of the largest entertainment venue in Beijing, tsk tsk, proper dick silk counterattack!
"What else?"
"Your Royal Highness, it's gone, after this He Zhong went out with the caravan to run the goods, the old slave had less contact with him, and every year when he came back, he would give the old slave some filial piety, and he rarely met, I didn't expect this guy to be such a wolf-hearted thing!"
"yes, got it!"
Yu Zhiqian rubbed his fingers and waved his hand to signal Wei Zhongxian to retreat: "Uncle Eight Wang, I believe in you, but my father asked me to thoroughly investigate drug-related cases, so I hope Uncle Eight Wang can understand, I need to bring back these account books!" ”
"I'll have someone prepare it right away, what else is there to do with my cooperation?"
Yu Zhiqian looked at Uncle Eight Wang: "Uncle Eight Wang, I don't know if this mansion is ......."
Searching a prince's mansion is indeed a very excessive request, after all, King Qing is the emperor's younger brother, once it is spread.
"Check, check carefully, check now!"
Yu Zhiqian didn't expect that King Qing was so resolute, after Yu Zhiqian saw it, although he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, King Qing wanted to prove his innocence, and after careful consideration, Yu Zhiqian found that King Qing was still a person with great wisdom, although he did not have face in doing so, but he could quickly clear himself of suspicion.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this case is a big case, the emperor has decreed that anyone involved, Yu Zhiqian can be directly beheaded, such a big power used to only appear in the investigation of rebellion cases, obviously this case is equivalent to rebellion, the punishment of the nine clans' big crimes!
After Yu Zhiqian figured it out, a thought suddenly popped into his mind: "If the prince and the prince rebel, this is a big crime belonging to the Zhujiu clan, then how can the emperor calculate?" After all, the emperor is their brother and father, legally speaking...... And Tang law can't be violated? Is it also together?? ”
Throwing this terrible thought out of his head, Yu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Xiaojing and thought for a while: "Zhang Xiaojing, let Zhang Zhan bring some people over, don't wear armor, change your clothes and come back!" ”
"Whoa!"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"
After Uncle Bawang heard this, he glanced at Yu Zhiqian gratefully.
Soon, Zhang Zhan rushed to the mansion of the Eighth Prince with fifty soldiers from the East Palace, all of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, but these fifty people stood together, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that these people were sergeants, and they were elites.
"Uncle Eight Wang, I'm offended!" Yu Zhiqian got up and confessed.
King Qing immediately stood up: "Don't offend, don't offend, prince, it's a shame to be an uncle, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, you must solve the case as soon as possible, no one dares to come if I can't bear to play mahjong uncle!" ”
"As long as Uncle Eight Princes is not involved in this matter, this palace will definitely return Uncle Eight Princes to his innocence!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian looked at the fifty East Palace guards: "Search!" ”
"Whoa!"
Fifty guards immediately led people to start searching the Qingwang Mansion, there was not much movement, regardless of the search was very careful, Yu Zhiqian looked at it boredly, and said that raiding the house or something was a shortcut to make a fortune, and he would be afraid to search a house.
"Prince, playing mahjong?"
Yu Zhiqian's eyes lit up: "No problem, Uncle Bawang, your mahjong has arrived?" ”
"Before the prince came, the people from the East Palace sent it!"
"That's okay, it's boring left and right, so I'll accompany Uncle Bawang to play a good game!"
"Come!"
The dragon gate array is arranged, with melons and fruit snacks, plus the beautiful maids who fan the wind left and right, Yu Zhiqian is in a good mood, I don't know if he is lucky today, or the guy Qingwang is playing badly, two rounds, Yu Zhiqian won a lot of money, I don't know if Qingwang intentionally or unintentionally, and he also settled the bill with a whole piece of gold.
"Your Highness, you'd better come and have a look!"
Zhang Xiaojing hurriedly ran over and whispered in Yu Zhiqian's ear.
"Huh? What's the matter, just say it, don't be sneaky! ”
"Whoa!"
"Your Highness, in the backyard, I found it, the dragon robe!"
"Bang!"
A loud noise came, and I saw that King Qing, who was sitting opposite Yu Zhiqian, had collapsed directly to the ground in fright.
"What, what, what?"
King Qing sat on the ground, pulling the table with both hands, trying to get up, and asked tremblingly as he crawled.
"His Royal Highness King Qing, dragon robe!"
"Boom!"
This time the sound was louder, the whole table collapsed directly, and the eighth prince was directly pressed under the table, mahjong, table, pastries and tea were mixed together, and fell on the head of the eighth prince, which looked very funny.
"Uncle Eight Wang, it's okay!"
Although he dug out the dragon robe, Yu Zhiqian still believed that King Qing was wronged, and he saw the appearance of the goods in front of him, with a demon queen on his head, his hair was sticky and covered with dim sum pieces, accompanied by a few pieces of tea, in addition to flustered eyes and hands that couldn't help but tremble, etc., no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a person who was ready to rebel.
Of course, people can't look good, when Ming Chengzu rebelled, he also pretended to be crazy and stupid, and later succeeded, if King Qing really pretended to be crazy and stupid, Yu Zhiqian would admit it, it was too similar.
"No, no, it's okay, the prince, His Royal Highness the prince, Zhi Qian, Da Qian, when I was a child, Uncle Eight Wang hugged you every day, you must help Uncle Wang, I really, really, I don't know what's going on, I really don't know!"
King Qing was completely panicked, and when the poisonous thing involved him, he was a little flustered, but he didn't think it was a big deal, although the emperor ordered the prince to cut people directly, but the prince could cut himself? And I don't know.
Now it's different, I found a dragon robe in my palace, whether it's true or not, if it reaches the emperor, even if he is wronged, he will have to shed his skin if he doesn't die.
"Uncle Bawang, what kind of person you are, I know it, and my father also knows it, someone must have framed you, this matter, this palace will definitely investigate clearly!"
"That's good, that's good!"
Yu Zhiqian took King Qing, who was almost unable to walk, to the back garden, Yu Zhiqian looked at the box buried in the ground, there were two dragon robes in the box, in addition, there was a jade seal made of Hetian jade or some kind of jade.
"Tut-tut, this workmanship is really fine, this box, it looks like it just buried, how did you find this box?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince, I found that this tree seemed to have just been turned over, so I came over to dig it, but I didn't expect that there was a ...... below."
Yu Zhiqian nodded, this really makes sense: "What do you do before coming to the East Palace?" ”
"Your Majesty, before joining the Left Guard Rate, I was on duty in the Right Army!"
"No wonder!" Feelings are a group of good hands at raiding homes and exterminating clans, and this group of guys is estimated to have dug a lot of things when they were in the border army.
"This thing is so new, it looks like it hasn't been buried for long, Uncle Bawang, who can enter and exit this garden?"
King Qing looked around, frowned, and thought hard for a while: "This garden is not a forbidden place, and almost all the servants in the palace can enter and leave freely.
"Who lives around?"
"There are guest rooms around, and some staff will stay!"
"Is there anyone now?"
"No one!"
Yu Zhiqian carefully looked at this area, in the back garden, it is not remote, if someone digs something here, it will definitely be seen, and he can't help but look at Wei Zhongxian: "When were the flowers and trees here planted?" ”
"A few days ago, about five days ago, all the plants and trees in the yard suddenly died for some reason, so I bought some and planted them again!"
"Get the gardener!"
"Whoa!"
But soon, Wei Zhongxian trotted back, and the gardener of Qingwangfu died, hanged himself, and hung himself on the second beam, but he definitely didn't just die, and for a while, but no one found out.
"Go to Wannian County to find a puppet to come over and dissect the corpse, have you found the rest?"
"Your Highness, no!"
"Okay, put your things away and take them back!"
"Whoa!"
"Zhang Xiaojing!"
"In!"
Yu Zhiqian gently leaned in front of Zhang Xiaojing and said in a low voice: "Take a few people, go out from the back of Qingwangfu, observe in some corners around Qingwangfu, and wait to see if anyone finds out that the palace comes out of Qingwangfu, and then leave immediately, follow along!" ”
"Whoa!"
After Zhang Xiaojing left, Yu Zhiqian played with a small seal found out of the Qingwang Mansion in his hand, which is matched with the jade seal, it is the emperor's private seal, no matter how you look at it, I feel that this chapter is a bit interesting, it is actually to prevent his own private seal, it seems that he sold the painting unintentionally, and actually pulled out a big fish!
But this King Qing is really a bit miserable, the housekeeper in the house is called Wei Zhongxian, and the subordinates and gardeners he raised are all bought by others, and I don't know if the woman who sleeps next to him will be nailed by someone.
