Chapter 495: The Power of Two Evils (Plus Change)
Zheng Qingshan is hiding something!
This is certain, Zhu Changluo read the confession several times, and finally found a major suspicion, Zheng Qingshan only mentioned Shen Cheng before and after, but never mentioned the Zheng family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
You must know that the Zheng family is his benefactor, even with his current status, he is still under the banner of the Zheng family, but in this confession, he put all the responsibility on Shen Yiyi, without mentioning the role of the Zheng family in it.
This had to make Zhu Changluo suspicious.
Although the Zheng family is now losing power, it is the emperor's former favorite concubine, and the ministers in the court still have consideration for the Zheng family, and it is not good to fall into a well.
"But why did he do it?"
Zhen Zhenji also realized this, indeed, in Zheng Qingshan's confession, he was secretive about his relationship with the Zheng family, and he didn't seem to want to mention it at all.
After a pause, Zhen Zhenji's brows furrowed slightly, and he said.
"Could it be that there is something else in this? Is Zheng Qingshan framing Shen Zhengyi? ”
Objectively speaking, this is not impossible, there is no doubt that with Zheng Qingshan's current situation, if he can drag Shen Cheng into the water, then the chance of him being able to get out will be greatly increased, so it cannot be ruled out that he is framing Shen Cheng for self-preservation.
And from another point of view, even if this is not a strategy that Zheng Qingshan can come up with, then what if it is a trap set by Shen Zhengyi?
Zhen Zhenji's request for a retrial of the case caused a stir in the capital, and if Shen Zheng was really involved in this case, he might not have made some arrangements.
The direction of this confession is indeed too obvious, if Zhen Zhenji is convicted with this confession, and Shen Cheng has always come up with evidence that can overturn the confession, then Zhen Zhenji's situation will become extremely passive.
The dispute between the court is extremely secretive, and any means may appear, so even a person like Zhen Zhenji who has been in the court for many years has to be cautious.
"Won't ......"
Zhu Changluo thought for a moment, shook his head slowly but firmly, and spoke.
"Lord Tsugan, this king takes the liberty of asking, does Lord Tsunaken know nothing about the friends made by the heirs of the family?"
Zhen Zhenji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Of course not! Dogs have always known the severity, and although the old man who has befriended him doesn't dare to say that he knows everything, he can always know the approximate origin! ”
"That's right!"
Zhu Changluo nodded, like Shen Qing, the children of official eunuchs seem to be unbearable, but they are actually very measured inside, who should befriend, who can befriend, there is a scale in his heart, otherwise there will really be something out of control, and it will affect his own old man's career.
Even if Shen Qing didn't know Zheng Qingshan's intentions at first, but after such a long time, he must know Zheng Qingshan's origin, and whether Zheng Qingshan's sensitive identity is befriended with him, Shen Qing will definitely not dare to make decisions without permission.
In other words, at least Shen has always been clear about Zheng Qingshan's origins, and if he takes a step further, maybe the interaction between Shen Qing and Zheng Qingshan has been tacitly approved by Shen Qingshan.
"Your Highness is saying that it was Shen Qing who always hinted that Shen Qing had befriended Zheng Qingshan?"
Zhen Zhenji's mind was not slow, and he understood what Zhu Changluo meant in a moment, and frowned.
"But it's a bit far-fetched to just speculate!"
However, Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, opened the confession at hand, and said.
"Don't worry, Lord Zongxian, this king is not speculating randomly, in fact, the evidence that this king has inferred is hidden in this confession!"
Zhenzhenji picked up the confession and read it again, but still found nothing.
Zhu Changluo didn't take it either, and pointed to the confession.
"Isn't it strange that Lord Zongxian is framing such a big thing as the imperial history, can he do it with just Shen Qing, a gentleman, if it weren't for Shen's consistent instructions, why would Wen Chun take such a big risk to listen to him Shen Qing?"
In fact, this confession itself is the biggest flaw, Zheng Qingshan kept saying that this matter was done by him and Shen Qing in conspiracy, but in fact, Shen Qing's identity as the second assistant son may still be somewhat useful in the circle, but in front of a third-grade master like Wen Chun, how can it be useful?
The person who can mix to the point of being gentle and pure, who has not been in the court for many years, if he can't be sure that this matter is Shen Zhengyi's intention, how can he risk offending Zhen Zhenji to do it!
"Then since it's not Zheng Qingshan who is framing Shen Yiyi, then what is he doing this for?"
If Zheng Qingshan's confession is true and not deliberately arranged by Shen Zhengyi, then what is he for, you must know that once this testimony is made public, the blow to Shen Zheng is not ordinary.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter was instructed by him, it is certain that the Shilin Wind Review will be seriously affected!
And Zheng Qingshan, who provided testimony, obviously would not end well, why did he do this?
"I don't know if Lord Zen has ever heard of a sentence......
Zhu Changluo pondered for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.
"This sentence is called, the lesser of two evils!"
After a pause, Zhu Changluo continued.
"Looking at this testimony alone, we can easily see that Zheng Qingshan is working hard to choose the Zheng family, so let's do the opposite, assuming that Zheng Qingshan's actions have a lot to do with the Zheng family, but at the same time, what he did has something to do with Shen Zheng, so we might as well boldly deduce that there will be any relationship between Shen and the Zheng family?"
Zhen Zhenji's face was shocked, and his brows were furrowed, as if he was carefully thinking about the possibility of what Zhu Changluo said.
If this is the case, everything can be explained, assuming Zhu Changluo's inference is true, then Shen has always been very likely to be involved with the Zheng family, no, it should be said that he is involved with the Zheng family in the palace, and this relationship is obviously not discoverable, once it is discovered, then Shen has always faced more than just a loss of reputation, it is likely that his career will come to an end.
In contrast, if he connived at Zheng Qingshan to frame Lu Qing, this crime is much lighter, not to mention that there is no direct evidence to prove that he Shen has always instructed behind the scenes, which proves that this is also part of the struggle of the court situation, but the means are a little damaged, and he may be punished, and even his vitality will be greatly damaged, but it will not shake his foundation.
This is what Zhu Changluo said, the lesser of two evils!
As long as everyone thinks that Shen has always been the big backer behind Zheng Qingshan, they will subconsciously ignore the relationship between him and the Zheng family, although there will be losses, there will always be a chance to make a comeback.
Otherwise, how could a smuggler in Zhengqingshan District be able to get on the table of a dignified secondary!
"Your Highness, if that's really the case, then it's a big deal! The old man immediately repaired the book, and let Lord Liu continue to strictly interrogate Zheng Qingshan! ”
Zhu Changluo nodded, I have to say that Zhen Zhenji's reaction was very fast, no matter how they guessed this matter, it would eventually fall on Zheng Qingshan, but Zhu Changluo believed that even if his guess could not be all, I am afraid it would not be far from the truth......
