Chapter 351, Trial (1)
Zhu Xu didn't have time to think about it in the future, but it was the first time he saw the queen and the imperial concubine actually singing and harmonizing, and it was aimed at the same person.
That's kind of interesting.
It's such a coincidence, as soon as Ah Yao mentioned the Shanggong Bureau, the palace magistrate beside Wang Tong thought of the gold foil line, could it be that there is really some unspeakable mystery in this gold foil line?
Thinking of Zeng Rong's character, Zhu Xu absolutely didn't believe that Zeng Rong would be so short-sighted and dare to do anything on the gold leaf line, he didn't know anything else, but he had seen Zeng Rong's paintings and Zeng Rong's craftsmanship, she could make money openly and honestly with her own skills, and it was impossible to do anything that ruined her future.
The sensitive Zhu Xu quickly guessed that someone must be framing this girl, so he started to frame her so early, how afraid of her being famous?
So, in order to eradicate Zeng Rong's worries, Zhu Xu planned to remain silent for the time being, to see if he could sort out this matter and return Zeng Rong's innocence.
But Zhu Xu is stable, Zhu Heng can't do it, he has been self-closed for ten years, not to mention simple and pure thinking, but he really doesn't understand the routines of these house fights, and he is very concerned about Zeng Rong, so when he saw these women singing and pouring dirty water on Zeng Rong one by one, he was anxious to confirm her charge of self-theft.
"This silver is indeed earned by Historian Zeng, she is..."
"Heng'er, you don't have to interfere in the affairs of the harem. Let's hear what others have to say first. Zhu Xu interrupted Zhu Heng and gave his son a warning look.
Tong Yao is worthy of being the person who has been with the emperor for the longest time, and he also knows him best, seeing him interrupting Zhu Heng, he quickly guessed that the emperor must have made a conclusion about today's matter, thinking of the two mothers-in-law in Kunning Palace who were still kneeling outside, she suddenly regretted a little that she had just mentioned the Shanggong Bureau.
"Emperor and Empress Qi, the concubines suddenly remembered that they went out early this morning, and Sister Yu and Xiao Twelve didn't have time to visit them, so the concubines retired first." Tong Yao got up and said.
"It's simple, just find two people at random." Wang Tong saw that the other party wanted to slip away, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to stay.
"This?" Tong Yao looked at the emperor.
"According to the Queen's wishes." Zhu Xu spoke.
Seeing this, Tong Yao had to sit down again.
"Where did you just go? Go on. Zhu Xu saw that these women stopped squeaking and spoke.
"Back to the emperor, when it comes to gold leaf threads. It's better to order someone to invite the two directors of the embroidery workshop. Wang Tong glanced at the female official of the palace order and said.
The matter has come to this, it is impossible to retreat, it is better to simply take a step forward, at least to give her a white color, after all, this matter has nothing to do with her at all.
Zhu Xu nodded and ordered a eunuch beside him to summon people.
Waiting for the time of the wait, Chang Dezi led the Imperial Doctor Zeng and a female doctor to come, they just came from the three inner institutes, and examined Zeng Rong, the Imperial Doctor Zeng said that there was a slight stasis in the viscera, and there should be no major internal injuries, the female doctor said that in addition to the broken skin on the face and hands, Zeng Rong's ankles and waist had bruises, and the winter clothes were thick, which showed that the other party had kicked her vigorously.
"Got it, go down." As soon as Zhu Xu heard that there were no major internal injuries, he wanted to settle down and try the case first, and he was also curious about how the girl was plotted by the bureau when she was in the Shanggong Bureau.
At first, he thought that the person who was doing the game was Queen Wang, after all, Zeng Rong had a holiday with the Wang family before entering the palace, and it is reported that this girl also entered the palace to avoid the Wang family and not to cause trouble for the Xu family.
But Fang Cai Tong Yao offered to leave first, and Queen Wang not only did not let go, but also offered to confront the two divisions of the Si Xiu Division, which is a bit puzzling.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Reasoning, then Zeng Rong is just a little embroidery girl, and she doesn't know Zhu Heng, so she can't get in the way and can't stand in the way, so it's necessary for Ayao to target her?
Just a little more work on a stick of incense, Qin Chuxue and Liu Chunmiao came, these two met on the road, and when they heard that the emperor summoned them, they both guessed that they were related to Zeng Rong, but the two inquired all the way, and they didn't spit when they summoned the eunuchs, and both of them were quite apprehensive.
When I entered the door, I saw that there were so many people standing or sitting in the room, and all of them were holding their breath, and I couldn't help but feel even more worried.
After the two of them finished saluting, Wang Tong saw that the emperor did not speak, so he had to ask himself: "You two, who is in charge of the treasury of the embroidery division?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, the lower official is mainly responsible for the pattern design, and the treasury and daily affairs are generally the responsibility of Aunt Liu, but if there is a major event that cannot be decided, the lower official and the Liu Gong Guild will discuss and decide." Qin Chuxue said thoughtfully.
She is the master of the embroidery department, and Liu Chunmiao is half a level lower than her, so it is more appropriate for her to speak on this occasion.
"In this case, Liu Si system, this palace asks you, how is the gold leaf thread controlled under normal circumstances, has it ever been lost or stolen?" Wang Tong asked personally.
"Back to the queen's mother, no." Liu Chunmiao subconsciously denied it.
It's just that as soon as the words came out, she understood that it was inappropriate, the imperial concubine, the queen and the emperor were all present, if there was no certain evidence, how could they suddenly find her and Qin Chuxue?
Thinking of this, she glanced at the imperial concubine, but before she could look at the other party, the emperor suddenly spoke, and said, "Have you thought carefully, is there or not?" I'm just going to give you this one chance. ”
"Your Majesty, there has been once." Qin Chuxue replied.
She saw that someone must be trying to make a fuss about Zeng Rong's lost roll of gold leaf thread, at this time, it must be impossible to hide it, it is better to simply tell the truth, and just use the emperor's hand to find out this matter, lest Zeng Rong will be subject to others one day.
So, Qin Chuxue gave a detailed account of how Zeng Rong lost the roll of gold leaf thread that day and how he got through the trick.
"Back to the emperor, the lower officials are also at fault in this matter, when Aunt Liu and Zeng Rong found the lower officials to discuss this matter, the lower officials helped come up with an idea." Qin Chuxue kowtowed on the ground and said.
"You two mean that this black hand has never been figured out? Could it be that Historian Zeng himself hid this gold leaf thread? Tong Yao asked.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu Chunmiao knew what she meant, this matter has not really been investigated, and it is best to detain Zeng Rong for this crime.
Although Liu Chunmiao was very disdainful and a little unbearable, she couldn't help but listen to the words of the imperial concubine, "Back to the imperial concubine, this official is not clear, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely." ”
"Emperor Qiqi, this thing will not be done by Zeng Rong, she is not this kind of person, and the lower officials can guarantee it." Qin Chuxue said categorically.
"What guarantee do you take? This man's heart is all separated by the belly. Oh, Historian Zeng has two silver tickets of one hundred taels, neat silver tickets, you say, where did she get this silver ticket? The palace lady said.
This question stopped Qin Chuxue and looked at Zhu Heng suspiciously.
