Chapter 597: A Bunch of Nonsense!
"Your Majesty."
Zhou Siyuan was afraid that the emperor would have compassion again, so he hurriedly said, "This person will definitely not admit it, but according to the facts, the treasury key of this Liefu is only held by General Chang'an's grandmother, Princess Danqing, and General Chang'an's personal servant." At that time, General Chang'an had interrogated and investigated all the subordinates in the palace, and there was no possibility that the subordinates would steal the key and steal the 300,000 taels of silver from the treasury. Even so, the suspicion is only on the three people who kept the key to the treasury. ”
Zhou Siyuan paused, looked at Pei Song who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered, "You said it wasn't you, could it be the old lady of the Liefu or Princess Danqing?" ”
Lie Changan frowned when he heard this, realizing that Zhou Siyuan was following a good temptation and putting him in a place where he couldn't argue.
Sure enough, the emperor was furious at the moment and scolded, "What nonsense! My Danqing princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, she has been pampered since she was a child, with fine clothes and jade food, what do you want? How could he go and steal the 300,000 taels of silver without permission? This is a ridiculous statement! ”
"The emperor is angry."
Zhou Siyuan hurriedly apologized immediately, but he was very satisfied with the emperor's reaction, he naturally guessed that the emperor would definitely speak out to defend Princess Danqing, but this was indeed what he wanted.
He wouldn't want to involve his hometown, not to mention that the emperor's words were also true, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also knew it, who was Princess Danqing? She is the most noble and favored princess of the Li Dynasty, does she still need to steal the 300,000 taels of silver privately? There is no credibility in saying this.
"Your Majesty."
The Northern Princes were also angry about Huailie Chang'an's disdainful attitude towards his youngest daughter before, thinking that if he could take this opportunity to remove Lie Chang'an from his official position, it would be regarded as revenge in his heart, and besides, he could completely dispel the idea of marrying Lie Chang'an. delicacies
Therefore, he immediately stood up and said, "Weichen seconded the proposal, except for Princess Danqing, the old lady of the Liefu and this Pei Song are the most suspected people who stole the 300,000 taels of silver. ”
Lie Chang'an's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said coldly, "There is no evidence, please be cautious when the prince of the north speaks." ”
"Is there no evidence, or are you unwilling to show evidence?"
The Northern Princes looked at Lie Chang'an, and the expression on his face was quite sinister, "Anyway, no matter who it is, one is your grandmother, and the other is your personal servant, this matter has nothing to do with your General Chang'an." ”
Zhou Siyuan was quite satisfied that the prince of the north was on the same side with him at this time, and it seemed that if it was really 'there is a father, there must be a daughter', this father and daughter are really not a family, and they don't enter the door.
Zhou Si's deep eyes stared at Lie Chang'an, and sneered, "What the Northern Princes and Marquis said is exact, General Chang'an, you still don't have to resist stubbornly, the matter has come to this point, it is better to confess and be lenient, maybe the emperor can also look at your great military achievements for the Li Dynasty and Princess Danqing, and open up to you and be light." ”
"Your Majesty!"
As soon as these words came out, Pei Song, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly trembled, knowing that if he didn't stand up again, with the slander that Zhou Siyuan and the Northern Princes had made up so easily, plus there were no clues and evidence in this matter, I was afraid that the general would be more than lucky, and it would be difficult to escape this catastrophe, so he raised his head and gritted his teeth and said, "It was stolen by the grass people!" These 300,000 taels of silver are the grass people's guards and self-theft! ”
There was an uproar in the hall.
