Liu Chengfeng's sudden reversal made almost everyone not get used to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, Wu Hong was already speechless, and lying in court had been exposed, and the emperor was really angry at the moment, even if Xiao Jing wanted to protect Wu Hong, it was no longer possible.

But Liu Chengfeng suddenly said that the real murderer is someone else, which naturally makes people unable to turn around.

It is Liu Chengfeng who says that Wu Hong is a chaotic party, and now it is Liu Chengfeng who says that Wu Hong is not a chaotic party, this guy is really good at tossing.

Listening to Liu Chengfeng's words, Zhu Youzhang just smiled faintly, and didn't say anything more, there was some tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister, Liu Chengfeng must have his reason for saying this, since he said that he would give himself an explanation within a stick of incense, Zhu Youzhu was not in a hurry.

Xiao Jing's face was only slightly stunned, and he glanced at Liu Chengfeng, in fact, at this time, if Liu Chengfeng took advantage of the victory to pursue, even if he couldn't kill Wu Hong, at least he could shake out the secret of Wu Hong's entry into the wine cellar, once this secret was shaken off, it would not be good for him Xiao Jing.

Who knew that when people clicked to the end, they suddenly let go, which surprised Xiao Jing a little.

This guy has a purpose for everything, but I don't know what purpose he has in mind this time.

Under the head of the room, Wu Hong and Zhou Chen, who were kneeling on the ground, did not dare to move, and Liu Chengfeng had already stood up, first walked in front of Wu Hong step by step, looked at him condescendingly, and then smiled slightly, and moved his steps to the front of Zhou Chen.

He said slowly: "Zhou Chen, where is your hometown?" ”

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "If you go back to your lordship, the slave maid is from Lingnan. ”

"Entering the palace at the age of twelve?"

"Yes, twelve."

"Looks like you've been in the palace for a few years, haven't you? Supposedly, you've ever let it go? ”

"Yes, in the second year of Hongzhi, I was released to the Suzhou Creation Bureau."

"But a year later, you were transferred back to the palace, weren't you?"

"Yes."

Liu Chengfeng asked plainly, but between the lines of his words, he revealed a huge change in the inner court. During the Chenghua period, because Emperor Chenghua ignored government affairs and liked the art of elixir, the inner library at that time had been tossed by him for so many years, and it was already empty. As a result, the eunuchs of the inner court at that time were overcrowded, and many eunuchs were sent from all over the country, and these eunuchs searched for money everywhere in the name of alchemy for Emperor Chenghua.

After Zhu Youzhu succeeded to the throne, he naturally could not immediately overthrow many of the misadministrations of the first emperor, so in the second year of Hongzhi, there were still many eunuchs sent abroad. Zhou Chen took this hitchhiker, after entering the palace, Hongyun was the head, and he was sent to Suzhou, but it was a good place, although Zhou Chen was not a eunuch, but just followed the town guard to supervise some chores, but he must have lived well.

Not to mention, there are many dragons and snakes in Suzhou, and he must have known a lot of people there as a eunuch.

But the good times didn't last long, this happy day didn't last a few days, in the third year of Hongzhi, Zhu Youzhu began to make a decree to find a large number of eunuchs sent abroad, under this background, Zhou Chen, a little eunuch who did not have much background, naturally had to come back obediently, and since then he has entered the Shangshan Prison and has been a eunuch for ten years.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the time when the eunuchs were in glory is gone, Zhou Chen has witnessed this kind of gap, and this feeling must be very uncomfortable.

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "When you were in Suzhou, who did you know?" ”

When he suddenly asked, Zhou Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly said, "The slave doesn't know anyone." ”

"Really?" Liu Chengfeng immediately pursed his lips and smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, then you might as well let me tell you a story." There was a eunuch who was sent to Suzhou, like a fish in water, because he was responsible for weaving, and he got acquainted with a lot of three religions and nine streams, but the good times did not last long, but he was recalled to the palace, back to the palace, he was assigned to Shangshan to guard the library, originally, guarding the library is a very idle matter, but for this eunuch, such a son is more uncomfortable than killing him, but he is just a eunuch, don't say that he is to let him go to the library, is to let him die, what can he do? ”

"Just a few days ago, this eunuch may have thought that his life was a waste, but when it came to the queen's birthday, there was a turnaround, the queen's birthday, the palace needs to buy a lot of things, according to the records of entering and leaving the palace, the eunuch who guarded the treasury also followed the eunuch out of the palace on business, and went out for four hours, in these four hours, he met a person, an old man from Suzhou, this person told him that as long as he did what they said, he could give him a chance, From now on, it will definitely soar. This eunuch naturally didn't dare at first, but he couldn't stand the persuasion, and finally couldn't help but be moved, because these people had a great friendship with him in Suzhou, and even knew a lot of things when the eunuch was in Suzhou. ”

"This eunuch then brought some arsenic into the palace, because there were a lot of things to buy at that time, and it was naturally easy to bring some arsenic, and he was guarding the wine cellar, so he could naturally enter and leave the wine cellar freely, so he entered the wine cellar in advance and drugged some wine jars in these wine cellars."

"Originally, those people's orders were for him to send these wines to the emperor, as long as the emperor was poisoned, the palace would be in chaos, and the court would immediately fall apart. It's just that things have gone awry. After the eunuch poisoned the wine cellar, he made a mark on the poisonous wine jar, and as long as it was time for the birthday banquet, there would naturally be a eunuch to fetch the wine, and he only needed to send the poisonous wine to the eunuch who carried the wine, and the matter would pass without realizing it. ”

"But things went wrong, the eunuch who came to get the wine was changed, and Wu Hong, the young eunuch of the internal official and eunuch, was the one who was ordered to get the wine, so the original plan was completely disrupted, and Wu Hong naturally did not send the wine to the designated place according to the eunuch's instructions after taking the wine, and directly let the people move the wine to deal with the errand, and it just so happened that these poisonous wines were moved to the queen's mother's side, and as a result, the poisonous wine that originally poisoned the emperor was finally drunk by the queen and other female dependents......"

When Liu Chengfeng told this story, Zhou Chen's whole person began to tremble, and finally interrupted Liu Chengfeng at this time: "You...... You're spewing blood...... Slave...... Slave ......"

Liu Chengfeng sneered: "Blood squirting people? You think I'm just telling you a story? If there is no evidence, how can I come up with such a story? Zhou Chen, this eunuch is you, do you still want to resist death and deny it? ”

Zhou Chen's face was as pale as paper, but he stiffened his neck and said, "The slave doesn't know what the adults are talking about." ”

This change really made everyone unexpected, whether it was Zhu Youjiao, Xiao Jing and Wu Hong, they couldn't imagine that the person who poisoned was actually this inconspicuous Zhou Chen.

Liu Chengfeng smiled faintly and said, "Really? It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. In fact, the original official would not suspect you, but unfortunately you pretended to be smart, and your cleverness was mistaken by cleverness, but it made the official have to turn his attention to you. ”

"Do you remember when you were a child, I summoned you to the duty room for questioning, you made a surname that is ignorant of the world and timid as a mouse, the reason why you do this is nothing more than to confuse the official, after all, such a person will never do anything rebellious in the eyes of the official. In fact, you did succeed at first, and you behaved like a cowardly little eunuch who had never seen the world. ”

Liu Chengfeng's tone became colder and colder, and said: "Originally, you deliberately created this impression on me to really paralyze me, how could such a person dare to do such a rebellious thing?" It's a pity that you still show a flaw. Although you hesitate when you speak, but when the official asks you something, your answer is clear, on the surface, you seem to be ignorant of the world, but every sentence is very reasonable, how can such a person not understand the world? ”

"Therefore, I deliberately paid attention to let people secretly find out your identity and background, and later found out that you had been assigned to Suzhou, just imagine, how can a eunuch who was released look like he has never seen the world at all? So, at the time, I speculated that you were doing this to cover up. ”

Zhou Chen was silent at this time, neither admitting nor shaking his head.

Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly, looked at Zhou Chen playfully and continued: "Actually, I didn't really suspect you at that time, I just felt that you were playing tricks in front of me, after all, this official is Jinyiwei, and it is only natural for you to play some slippery tricks to prevent yourself from being framed." However, before you left, I asked you who you thought was suspicious, but you replied to the official that Wu Hong, the young eunuch of the internal official prison, was the most suspicious, and the reason was very simple, he was the young eunuch of the internal official prison, but he suddenly came here to pick up wine, which is really contrary to common sense. ”

"Your words did mislead the official, and the official's attention at that time naturally shifted to Wu Hong's head. You are very smart, just threw a colored ball to the official, but did not say that Wu Hong had also been to the wine cellar before, because you know that once the official notices Wu Hong, sooner or later he will find out about it, and once this is found, he will definitely deepen his suspicion of Wu Hong, but you mentioned that Wu Hong had been to the wine cellar before the third day to make the official suspicious, and you misled the official, just to put the blame on Wu Hong's head and let Wu Hong take the blame for you. ”
