Chapter 20: Telling the Truth
"Zhu Lunchang, you tell this palace in detail, why did you run away. Since you said you just took a few sticks of ginseng. Why run away? ”
Zhu Shaochen sat on a chair in his study and asked Zhu Lunchang.
"That's ...... Is that...... Your Highness, the little one really doesn't dare to say it. ”
Zhu Lunchang hesitated and didn't dare to reply.
"Since you don't dare to tell me, then go and talk to Lufutai in Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhu Shaochen said angrily, to be honest, at his age, it is not scary to speak like this.
It's just that the superior has been on it for a long time, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of oppression for others.
After all, he has been in the position of Wang Sun for five years.
"Po the captive, take him to Kaifeng Mansion and hand him over to Governor Lu's Mansion."
"Yes, my subordinates will do it." Ni Poyu responded.
When Zhu Lunchang heard that he was going to be sent to Kaifeng Mansion, he hurriedly cried and shouted: "Your Highness, it's really too small to say it." You just let the little one go. The little one will make you a cow and a horse in this life. I beg you to spare this little one. ”
Zhu Shaochen pondered for a moment and said, "That's it." This palace can not hand you over to Kaifeng Mansion. But you'll have to tell Hongu who told you to escape. Hongu promises not to mention it to anyone else. As long as you behave well in this palace in the future, this palace will naturally let you go. ”
"Your Highness, what you said may count." Zhu Lunchang asked in a low voice.
"Our Highness's words naturally count."
Li Xi said. "Your Highness is a golden branch and jade leaf, and you can't deceive you."
"I want His Highness to agree with him." Zhu Lunchang also didn't care that the other party was a ten-year-old child. Anyway, if you can count.
"That Wang Sun promised you today, as long as you can confess everything to me, this palace will no longer pursue this matter. And keep you safe. I can give you a future in the future. If you have a chance, I can even transfer you back to the clan. Zhu Shaochen agreed.
Then Zhu Lunchang looked at Zhu Shaochen and said this, and he no longer hid his secrets.
"Your Highness, I'll tell you all about the little one. The small one is a native of Xiangfu County outside Kaifeng City, and by a coincidence, he was appreciated by His Royal Highness the Second Highness, so he did the steward of this fine material warehouse. Although there are not many things to do, there is not much money in the palace, and the young mother is frail and sickly. Therefore, the amount of human parameters sent to the king's treasurer that day was huge. The small one stole six of them and exchanged them, and the small one used the inferior ginseng bought in the pharmacy outside. ”
Zhu Lunchang looked at Zhu Shaochen and saw that he was waiting for him to continue.
Hurriedly said: "Unexpectedly, the little one was discovered by the ginger shopkeeper when he replaced the ginseng." The shopkeeper Jiang saw that his subordinates were replacing ginseng with ginseng, but he replaced the higher year of the palace with a smaller year. I didn't bother with the little one, and the little one thought that the matter would pass like this. ”
"How can I endure that day's 'Central Plains Dart Bureau' to extract details. The small one hurriedly packed the ginseng, and asked the dart bureau Murong Dart Head to come back tomorrow. The small one was loaded that night, and the Murong dart head took the goods early the next morning. ”
"Until the ginseng sent back by the king's shopkeeper, when I opened it, I found that it was all fake. After this, the little ones were also trembling, and later they said that they had been replaced by the king's treasurer. The little ones feel more at ease. If the king's shopkeeper was replaced, the six ginseng that the small one was exchanged would not be known. ”
What Zhu Lunchang said is understandable.
"Then why are you not there when I wanted to arrest you that day? Who delivered the message to you? Zhu Shaochen asked.
"On the morning of the king's return, the little one was supposed to come on time. Unexpectedly, when he came to the palace, he met Jiang Fu, the housekeeper of Jiang's shopkeeper, on the road, and he stopped the little one and told the little one that the little one had replaced six ginseng and the prince knew about it. Let the little one hurry up and take the old lady to avoid the limelight. When the little one heard this, he hurriedly went back and took his wife and fled out. ”
"The little one is in the city of Kaifeng, and it is considered to be unaccompanied, and it is also in Xiangfu County outside the city, and there is an elder brother, who inherited the little father's lieutenant Fengguo, and there are still a few acres of thin fields in Xiangfu, and there are still some industries in the countryside. Thinking of this, the little one took the old lady and hid in his house for a few days, and when the rumor passed, he took the old lady to work elsewhere. ”
"Who knew that within a few days, an official from Xiangfu County came to the door and asked the little brother if the little one had returned home. The little eldest brother took the official errand away, and he was afraid that the next official errand would enter the house to search, so he sent the little one to Nanyang to go to the little uncle's house. After that, he was caught by Murong Dart on the road. ”
"The small one has a thousand guts, and he doesn't dare to change such a large number. Besides, the small ones have taken so much, and there is no place to make a move. Lu Shu'er cried.
"There is some truth in what you said, but it didn't tell me who replaced those ginsengs." Zhu Shaochen said regretfully.
"This ...... The little ones really don't know. Your Highness, just let the little one go. Zhu Lunchang said with tears in his eyes.
Zhu Shaochen then forced Zhu Lunchang to say: "I think you still think that the prison meal will be more delicious." At this moment, I still don't want to tell the truth. ”
"Your Highness, it's not that it's small, it's really that the little wives and children are still in their hands."
Zhu Lunchang really couldn't do it, so he had to say it.
"Your wife is young? When was they caught. Zhu Shaochen asked.
"It was the time when Steward Jiang Fu met Xiao that day. Jiang Fu's housekeeper said that he would help the little one take good care of his wife and the young. When the young one went back, he only saw the old lady at home. said that the small front foot went out, and someone said that the little one was hit by a carriage outside, and the little lady took the child and rushed to find the little one. …… Your Highness, you have to call the shots for the little ones! ”
"Okay, you Zhu Lunchang, you have a wife and a young person in the hands of people to do cognition, why didn't you tell me earlier. Do you have to wait until the mountains and rivers are exhausted before you can say it? ”
Zhu Shaochen said, "Brother Po, please bring a trustworthy palace guard to rescue this wife." ”
"Yes, yes, the little one thanked His Highness, and the little one also knew where they were being held. When the little one took refuge in the auspicious charm, he asked the little eldest brother to investigate, and the little wife and child were all locked up in Jiang Fu's villa. Zhu Lunchang said.
"Then you can go together. Let me tell you, if you save your wife and child, you will give me an honest job by my side. Since my second brother appreciates you, I think you also have a skill. Don't miss your future, and even affect your wife and children. Zhu Shaochen said that, and let the two set off.
Alas, Zhu Shaochen suddenly felt that he still had a talent for solving cases.
As soon as the two left, Zhu Shaochen was lonely again. It's not a matter of staring at Li Xi here.
