Chapter 226: Denial
Just in case, Di Renjie also sent someone to the East Palace to ask the crown prince Li Chengqian for support.
After Li Chengqian received Di Renjie's letter asking for help, he immediately ordered Cheng Wuting to lead the guards of the East Palace, as well as the soldiers and horses of the Xun Guard and Yiwei under the command of the East Palace to support.
With the support of the East Palace, Di Renjie soon took down all the more than 200 fake sons hidden in Anyi Fang and Zhang Liang.
After some rigorous interrogation, nothing was asked except these people.
On the other side, Ma Erren hurried to the prison to interrogate Zhang Liang.
"Zhang Liang, your fake son Gongsun Chang and the warlock Cheng Gongying have already recruited everything, and the two of them accused you of rebellion." After Ma Zhou saw Zhang Liang, he didn't talk to him politely, and went straight to the point.
Zhang Liang was taken aback! At the same time, I greeted all the eighteenth generations of women of Cheng Gongying's ancestors in my heart.
On the surface, Zhang Liang sighed, just when the two thought that Zhang Liang was going to confess and be lenient.
Zhang Liang said: "I treat the two of them as relatives, and I have never treated them badly on weekdays, but I didn't expect them to frame me, I am really wronged!" ”
Ma Zhou's face was ugly, things had come to this point, Zhang Liang was still quibbling, if he hadn't rebelled, Cheng Gongying and the others would be able to testify against him.
is also framed, it is necessary for Cheng Gongying and the others to take a lot of trouble to frame you, is it necessary?
"Why did the two of them frame you, if you didn't tell him, how could they say that you wanted to rebel." Ma Zhoudao.
"Ma Shilang doesn't know, the two of them have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, forgetting righteousness for profit, and they don't know what loyalty and filial piety are."
"They are afraid that they will frame me for rebellion, Ma Shilang must not listen to slander and die innocently." Zhang Liang quibbled.
Then Zhang Liang said to Ma Zhou that he was an old minister, and he said a lot of words cracklingly, all of which were describing how loyal he was to the Tang Dynasty, how loyal he was to His Majesty Li Er, and there were no two hearts.
No matter how Ma Zhou asked, Zhang Liang flatly denied it, and even quibbled that he had absolutely no disobedience and that he was a traitor and villain who was framing him.
Seeing that they couldn't ask anything, Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia gave up and went back to wait for news from Di Renjie.
I hope that Di Renjie will have something new on his side.
Ma Zhou waited in Dali Temple for a long time, and Di Renjie brought people back with the 200 people he found in Anyifang.
"Di Shaoqing! Ma Shilang and Sun Qing are waiting for you, so when you come back, be sure to go and meet them immediately. A servant stepped forward and said to Di Renjie.
"I know, let's go!" Di Renjie nodded, turned around and said, "Take care of these people first, and they will run away!" ”
"Shaoqing rest assured! With the brothers here, they won't let them run away! The official assured Di Renjie. 35xs
Di Renjie turned around and went inside to see Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia, and the three of them finished greeting each other.
Ma Zhou asked, "Di Shaoqing, how is the situation on your side?" What new discoveries have been made? ”
"In addition to catching more than 200 people in Anyifang, there are no other discoveries, and I have asked these people, but none of them know about Zhang Liang, and no one knows if Zhang Liang has other fakes." Di Renjie said, and asked a question.
"Ma Shilang, how is the situation on your side? Zhang Liang has already confessed to his rebellion. ”
"Zhang Liang didn't admit that he had rebelled, and he even talked nonsense with us, but it was useless." Ma Zhou smiled bitterly.
"Yes! What should we do now, Your Majesty restricts me to solve the case in a short period of time, and this Zhang Liang doesn't admit it, what should we do? ”
"Di Shaoqing, I don't know if you can make Zhang Liang speak?" Sun Fujia said how much he hoped that Di Renjie could help him solve this matter.
Although Sun Fujia is the secretary of Dali Temple, he is different from the two people in front of him, Di Renjie is the prince's person, if Zhang Liang's case is not handled well, Di Renjie has the support of the prince, and he is so young.
If the emperor really blamed him, he wouldn't let him top the bag, at most he would reprimand him a few words without pain.
Ma Zhou is the long history of the Jin Palace, who is the King of Jin? That is the emperor's favorite son, and it won't be too much of a problem to have King Jin blowing wind in the emperor's ear for Ma Zhou.
If Zhang Liang's case is not handled well, he will not be able to run away if he is not good at handling the case, if the emperor is angry, the loss of Wusha will be a small matter, and a small life will not be guaranteed.
Ma Zhou's eyes also focused on Di Renjie, hoping that this young Shaoqing could bring him unexpected gains again.
"With the confessions of Cheng Gongying and the others, Zhang Liang can deny it outright, and it is not easy to get any answer from him."
"What's more, time is running out now, Your Majesty and His Highness are still waiting, even if they want to find a way, they won't be able to recruit for a while." Di Renjie said.
Time is pressing, thinking that it will definitely be too late for him to do anything, even if he Di Renjie can wait, the emperor may not be willing to wait.
"So what should we do now?" Sun Fujia said anxiously, now he is really the master of the six gods.
But it's not a matter of being in a hurry.
Ma Zhou sighed helplessly, Di Renjie was too young after all, he didn't have enough experience or anything, and even if he was smart, he didn't have the art to return to heaven.
"I will only report the results of the interrogation of Cheng Gongying and the others to His Royal Highness the Prince!" Di Renjie said.
Sun Fujia opened his mouth and stopped talking.
"Now if you want to find a way to get Zhang Liang to speak, it's definitely too late, take the confessions of Cheng Gongying and the others, and report to His Royal Highness the Prince, maybe His Highness can ask His Majesty for some more time." Di Renjie said.
Di Renjie can see Sun Fujia's worries! This old man takes care of him on weekdays, and he can be regarded as repaying the favor.
Sun Fujia thought about it for a while, and felt that what Di Renjie said made sense, instead of speculating here, it was better to ask the prince to help say a few good words.
"Di Shaoqing is reasonable, I don't know what Ma Shilang thinks?" Sun Fujia said to Di Renjie while asking Ma Zhou's opinion.
Sun Fujia was really worried that Ma Zhou would refuse, and then preach, so he looked at Ma Zhou with a blank look.
In my heart, I prayed that Ma Zhou would never refuse.
Perhaps Sun Fujia's prayer was sincere enough, and Ma Zhou did not obstruct it.
"I also have this intention, then without further ado, let's go to the East Palace to visit His Royal Highness the Prince! Inform Your Highness of this matter and make a decision here. Ma Zhou said.
Sun Fujia was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to pack up all the confessions, files, and the like related to Zhang Liang's counter-case.
Only then did Sun Fujia and the three of them take these objects and go to the East Palace to meet the prince!
