Chu Yunshen glanced at the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin, and still handed the token in his sleeve to Yuan Qing.

Yun Qing quickly handed over the token, along with the contents of the list that Chu Yunshen asked Xiao Wu and the secret guards to investigate a few days ago.

Chu Yunshen could feel that Lao Qi's expression didn't look like a fake, and when he handed over the token, he was also looking forward to it, as if he hoped that this token could save him from the dire situation at this time.

However, the expression of the eighth brother Chu Jingxuan was a little subtle, and there was a strong excitement in his narrow eyes.

His eyes kept moving with the token, and when he saw that Chu Yunshen had finally handed over the token, there was an imperceptible light in his eyes.

Chu Yunshen already had some clues, and now that he saw the ups and downs of his seventh brother Chu Yelin and eighth brother Chu Jingxuan, his heart was even clearer as a mirror.

As expected, Chu Hongzhen, who got the token, took a look at it, and then turned his head to look at the Seventh Prince who was kneeling on the ground.

Chu Yunshen continued: "Erchen has investigated the list of merchants and the account book that Chen Fu confessed, and the content of the account book is a little inappropriate. ”

"Oh? What about Lord Su's side? ”

At this time, Chu Hongzhen had already regained his usual majesty, he carefully rubbed the token in his hand, and asked Chu Yunshen in an inexplicable tone.

"Master Su has pleaded guilty, and he single-handedly contributed to this case. It's just that there are still some things to report to my father. ”

Chu Hongzhen didn't say anything, Chu Yunshen knew that he had his own plans, and he didn't say much, so he simply pretended to be deaf and dumb and continued to kneel there.

He knew that his intellectual interest was the best performance for Chu Hongzhen, a useless son, of course, should have a mediocre performance.

The same is true of his own forbearance over the years, only in this way will Chu Hongzhen really rest assured of himself.

Seeing that the situation was frozen here and unable to move forward, the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin couldn't help but hurriedly open his mouth, he didn't know that the token in Chu Hongzhen's hand was "his".

He thought that fortunately he still had Su Ming's witness, so he could finally win back a game.

"Father, Lord Su knows the truth here, and the child has been wronged."

Chu Yunshen secretly shook his head in his heart, the seventh brother was so unstable today, no wonder he couldn't fight the eighth brother.

"Since the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince have mentioned you, then you can talk about it, Su Aiqing."

"Wechen is here. Your Majesty, the evidence of the national salt matter is conclusive, and Weichen really deserves death. ”

Su Ming seemed to be bent on death, and when he heard Chu Hongzhen's question, he hurriedly confessed his guilt.

He took out a list from his arms, held it high and handed it to Yuan Qing: "The list is here, Weichen is willing to apologize with death!" ”

The Seventh Prince Chu Yelin and the Eighth Prince Chu Jingxuan both glanced at Su Ming with satisfaction, Chu Hongzhen didn't get angry this time, he said calmly:

"Su Aiqing, why don't you tell me about the specific situation?"

But everyone in the hall knew that this was just the calm before the storm, except for the Seventh Prince, Chu Yelin.

Seeing that Chu Hongzhen's face was a little calmer than just now, and he was even tapping his fingers on the desk leisurely, Chu Yelin only felt that his great work was about to be completed.

He glanced at the Eighth Prince Chu Jingshuo who was standing aside quite proudly.

Chu Yunshen found that since he presented the token just now, Chu Hongzhen had turned it upside down and played with it for a long time.

If it weren't for the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin to ask Su Ming to report it, Chu Hongzhen seemed to rub the token a few more times.

Could it be that my father has already noticed the strangeness in this?

Chu Yunshen has always disliked Chu Hongzhen, but he also has to admit that Chu Hongzhen does have the sensitivity of a superior.

And on Chu Yunshen's side, Su Ming opened his mouth unhurriedly:

"Wechen received a secret letter a few months ago, which said that my mother had been asked to leave by the other party, and if Wechen didn't obey, my mother's life would be in danger."

Su Ming seemed to be a little choked up when he said this, and he paused and slowed down before he could continue:

"My mother raised Weichen with hard work, and she also provided Weichen with hard work to study and go to Beijing for the college entrance examination, how dare Weichen disobey."

According to the instructions in the letter, Wechen contacted local officials and major wealthy businessmen, and dredged up the relationship to tamper with the price of salt. According to the instructions, Wei Chen framed the matter on the eighth prince afterwards. ”

"Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, in order to save the life of the mother, Wechen is selfish, and Wechen is guilty!"

"Who is so bold and dares to privately threaten the imperial court officials to frame the prince. Father, according to the son's view, this matter should be thoroughly investigated. ”

The Eighth Prince, Chu Jingxuan, immediately scolded the person in Su Ming's mouth with righteous indignation, and his knowingly questioning tone was exaggerated.

When the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin heard that Su Ming's words were different from the original, his face that was triumphant just now immediately changed, and when he heard it, it was almost as dark as ink.

While Chu Yelin shouted in his heart that it was impossible, Chu Yunshen, who was kneeling on the ground, had already understood everything!

No wonder, no wonder!

It's no wonder that he, who is loyal to the seventh brother, will suddenly change his hexagram, which is in line with the ruthless and vicious style of some people.

It seems that this Su Ming defected before the battle.

Chu Hongzhen was indeed as Chu Yunshen guessed, seeing that the Eighth Prince Chu Jingxuan and Su Ming were so obviously singing and harmonizing, he recovered from his anger, and when he saw the token in his hand, he already knew that Lao Qi was probably put on the table this time.

"Su Aiqing, who are you talking about?"

"Back to the emperor, it is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

Su Ming's heart was already dead at this time, and Chu Yunshen clearly felt the desperate aura bursting out of him beside him.

And every word of what he said was more like a knife piercing the body of the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin.

"Ridiculous! Sue-sama! How do you spew blood! Have you forgotten our ......?"

"What forgot, Brother Seven? Have you forgotten that you coerced and seduced Lord Su? ”

The Eighth Prince, Chu Jingxuan, interrupted the words of the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin at the right time, and said sarcastically.

"Father, Lord Su is a subordinate of Erchen, and it was Erchen's poor discipline that made him unable to think about it for a while."

He turned his head and looked disgusted again: "But Erchen thinks that Master Su is also being persecuted, so he will make this decision as a last resort." ”

The Seventh Prince, Chu Yelin, saw the collusion of these two people, and then he knew that he had been calculated.

"Good! Good for you, Su Ming! ”

He was so angry that his hands were trembling, and he pointed at Su Ming and couldn't speak for a long time.

The Eighth Prince really didn't want to let him go easily, and he didn't pretend at this time.

Instead, he changed his appearance of knowing nothing just now, and looked at Chu Hongzhen with a deep chest:

"Father, the son and son actually have something to report."

Finally, the fox's tail can't help but show itself?

Chu Yunshen was curious about what other tricks the eighth had waiting for behind.

"Oh? Didn't the eighth just say that he didn't know very well? ”

Chu Hongzhen looked at him intriguingly, he really wanted to see what remarks he, the eighth bastard, could say at this time.

"My father, the emperor, and my sons are also in pain after thinking about it. But this brotherhood is important, but national affairs are even more tense. Erchen knew that he was narrow-minded, so he wanted to tell the truth about his father. ”

Chu Hongzhen nodded, motioning for him to continue, but he picked up the evidence and secret letter handed over by a few people just now.

"The seventh brother himself wronged the retainers for colluding with the officials in private, and the retainers mistakenly thought that the seventh brother was a child with a temper, and he was joking with the retainers."

The Eighth Prince came up with a bitter complaint, telling the Seventh Prince's accusation against him.

"But the seventh brother doesn't give up! In order to frame me, they pressed me step by step. Erchen was terrified, so he had to report the matter to the fourth brother to deal with. ”

The eighth brother still likes to cry and show weakness as always.

Chu Yunshen really looked down on the Eighth Prince's behavior of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, pretending to be stupid and then stabbing a knife in the back, and he didn't even bother to continue listening to the high-sounding rhetoric behind the Eighth Prince.

"Originally, today's incident caused trouble to my father, and the son still wanted to help Seventh Brother make vague remarks. But I didn't expect that Seventh Brother himself would coerce and lure Lord Su to do such a detrimental thing to the people! ”

The Eighth Prince said righteously: "The seventh brother is dissatisfied with me, he can mediate with me privately, how can he be so confused, what he has done seriously affects the lives of the people." ”

What he said was the head of the way, but Su Ming felt sick when he looked at the face of the hypocrite of the Eighth Prince.

But he had no choice, and he had to deceive with this hypocrite.

The Seventh Prince, Chu Yelin, was furious when he heard the Eighth Prince's remarks that distorted the facts, and when he thought of Su Ming's remarks just now, he was so angry that his whole body trembled.

The eighth prince, Chu Jingxuan, was still confused: "Besides...... Erchen actually heard a little about it, and the prefect and county of Jincheng had already complained. ”

Chu Yunshen was really a little excited when he heard the Eighth Emperor pushing the boat down the river, and when he mentioned the prefect of Jincheng, his heart suddenly moved.

Yes, everything can be connected now.

No wonder Lao Qi was kept in the dark, it turned out that people were one ring after another!

However, is this the only means for the eighth child?

Chu Hongzhen didn't know that Liu Yuanyi, the prefect of Jincheng, was already the person of Chu Jingxuan, the eighth prince: "Call the prefect to come over and ask." ”

Chu Jingxuan, the eighth prince, was waiting for this sentence, and hurriedly answered: "Father, the prefect of Jincheng has been waiting outside for a long time, waiting for his father to summon him at any time." ”

"Yuan Qing, Xuan!"

Yuan Qing was also a little impressed by Chu Jingxuan at this time, it seems that the Eighth Prince came prepared this time.

Liu Yuanyi waited for a long time with a sweat on his head, and then twisted his fat body all the way to kneel in front of Chu Hongzhen.

"Weichen Jincheng Governor Liu Yuanyi see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Okay, no need to be polite."

"Enlighten the emperor, and the ministers will die."

Liu Yuanyi trembled and knelt there and looked at Chu Jingshuo with his eyes, but found that there was no response.

"Wechen received a secret letter from the Seventh Prince a few months ago, and Wechen was terrified that he had done something wrong for a while. Wechen is terrified, Wechen is guilty! ”

"According to Liu Aiqing's meaning, you also received a secret letter?"

Chu Hongzhen played with the token in his hand, and an obscure light slipped through the depths of his eyes.

"Actually...... Not only Weichen and Master Su, but Chen Fu and Chen Zhixian also received a secret letter. Lord Chen told Wechen that his life might be in danger the day before, and he ...... the next day"

"Your Majesty! Wechen is old and young, Wechen is afraid! His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince said that if Weichen didn't comply, the end would be like the second Lord Chen. ”

Liu Yuanyi wept bitterly and kowtowed on the ground over and over again, begging Chu Hongzhen.

While kowtowing, he also said sorry to the Seven Princes, saying that he had wasted the Seven Princes' hard work.

His hard-working performance only had the word 'ridiculous' in Chu Yunshen's eyes, Chu Yunshen snorted coldly with disdain, and moved his body to the side quietly.

"Old Seven, do you have anything else to say?"
