Chu Hongzhen's every sound was like hitting the Seventh Prince, and he knelt on the ground like ashes at this time, unable to defend himself.

"Back to my father, my son has been wronged! This is their nonsense! ”

"You mean, they colluded to frame you?"

Liu Yuanyi knew that this was about to happen, so he stepped in and fanned the flames:

"Your Majesty, Xiaguan also has a list of wealthy businessmen here, which was handed over to him by the Seventh Prince, and Xiaguan and Chen Zhixian and Master Su all have a copy of this list. Chen Zhixian was killed by the Seven Princes because he handed over the list to the Four Princes! ”

"Fourth, go see if the list is true or false."

Although Chu Yunshen knew it, he still took the list that Su Ming and Liu Yuanyi had just presented and carefully checked it with his own a few times before handing it back to Yuan Qing.

"Father, there is no difference between these three lists, they are all true."

The Seventh Prince couldn't wait to kill Chu Yunshen with his eyes now, but Chu Yunshen turned a blind eye.

He is impartial and tells the truth.

As for the disturbances, they have nothing to do with him.

The Seventh Prince had no time to resent Chu Yunshen more at this time, and he had to defend himself.

"Father, this list of ministers is not clear!"

Chu Hongzhen threw the sign in his hand in front of Chu Yelin, and scolded sharply: "Then look at what this is!" ”

I don't know whether the brand was intentional or unintentional, but it was thrown directly on the head of the Seven Princes.

"Don't tell me your own token, you don't even know it!"

Chu Hongzhen's sarcastic words made the Seventh Prince break out in a cold sweat, he took the token, put it in front of his eyes, and carefully checked it a few times.

This token is finely made, and it is almost the same as the token of the guards in his own house.

Wait a minute!

"It's a fake! Father! You have to trust me! ”

The Seventh Prince pointed to the bronzing pattern on the token, and wanted Yuan Qing to hand it to Chu Hongzhen on the spot.

The Eighth Prince, Chu Jingxuan, changed his expression at this time, and glanced at Su Ming, who was kneeling on the ground, and he thought to himself: Impossible, how could the token be seen to be forged, obviously at that time......

Before he could sort out his thoughts, Chu Hongzhen's question had already blurted out: "Ridiculous! What's wrong with this token? ”

"Erchen's token has never had a Lingxiao flower pattern, but honeysuckle, but the two patterns are really similar...... The retainers are wronged! The Seventh Prince eagerly opened his mouth to defend himself, and when he said that he was higher than one after another, he finally shouted out those words hoarsely: "Father and Emperor know that his sons and ministers have always liked to be quiet and not like to move, how could he do such a bloody killing!" Ask your father to see clearly! ”

"Then your secret letter with Su Aiqing and those account books are also framed?"

"This ...... Of course, the content of MeSign is true, and so is the ledger. "The Seventh Prince knew that these were indeed the contents of his own investigation, and there could be no fake, and he couldn't deny that the secret letter had become his own seal at this time.

He hurriedly opened his mouth again: "But these are all evidence that Erchen searched for the eighth brother's private wealth, and it has nothing to do with Erchen!" ”

"Old Seven, you have to think about it, the matter has come to this point, do you still insist that this matter is done by the eighth child?"

Chu Yunshen frowned when he heard this, did he start to put pressure on Lao Qi?

He only saw Lao Qi nodding stubbornly.

Things have developed to this point, and it is a bit confusing!

The evidence handed over by the Seventh Prince turned out to be evidence of his own corruption?

I searched the token of the seventh brother, but it was forged?

But all this just shows that the matter of the seventh brother's corruption is still to be discussed.

Although Chu Yunshen knelt beside him and didn't say a word, he also knew in his heart that as long as there was one last fire, the seventh brother would be planted today!

How could Chu Hongzhen consider the twists and turns in between?

The balance of power between the princes is what he really cares about, and the seventh has been in the limelight a little too much this time!

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has a token here, which was handed over to Weichen by His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince before."

Su Ming gritted his teeth and took out the token he was holding in his arms, which had been in his arms all along, and it had been burning his chest these days.

As soon as he saw the token in Su Ming's arms, the Seventh Prince instantly looked crazy: "This token is clearly the ...... I handed over to you before."

"Seventh Brother admits that you gave the token to Master Su?"

How could Chu Jingxuan miss this good opportunity, he directly interrupted the words of the Seventh Prince Chu Yelin.

At this point, Chu Yelin knew that he had no power to fight back!

What Chu Yunshen thought in his heart was: It turned out that Su Ming had a real token there, no wonder the eighth brother could imitate a fake token.

That being the case, the wounds of myself and the lion cat......

Chu Yunshen's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of slaughter.

It's just that many things still have to be settled in the future, and now Chu Yunshen is still that expressionless.

"What are the Seventh Princes saying, didn't you hand over this token to me and let the lower officials send other officials at will?"

Su Ming's natural tone made Chu Yelin almost feel a mouthful of fishy sweetness welling up in his chest.

"It's all your collusion! I'm unwilling! ”

The Seventh Prince was still dying, and only he knew how pale his justifications were.

"Seventh brother, the matter has come to this point, you should admit your mistake to your father. It doesn't matter if you blame me wrongly, don't make mistakes again and again and continue to do those hurtful things. ”

The Eighth Prince's coy words directly made the Seventh Prince scold: "Chu Jingxuan, you are simply shameless!" ”

"Presumptuous! I think you're ridiculous. ”

The matter has come to this point, and the means are clear at a glance.

Chu Hongzhen's face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "Old Seven, you have made such a big mistake and still know that you will not change it?" ”

The Seventh Prince was really at a loss at this time, and he wanted to say a few more words, but he really couldn't say anything.

Oh, yes. There are all kinds of human and material evidence.

He had already said too much and was wrong, so he had to kneel on the ground with a gloomy face and say no more.

"Someone! Su Ming colluded with the officials below to do evil, but his filial piety was commendable, and he asked after the autumn! Liu Yuanyi didn't report it, and it was really hateful to help him abuse him, so he dragged it down and beheaded it! ”

Yuan Qing sent someone, and soon a guard came up and dragged Su Ming and Liu Yuanyi out.

Su Ming saw that the matter was over, as if he had already guessed his ending.

He smiled with relief, as if that was the only way to be relieved.

Liu Yuanyi was still crying, and he didn't know whether he was shouting for help from the Seventh Prince or the Eighth Prince.

But no one listened to him for a long time, and his mouth was blocked by the guards and he could not speak.

Chu Yun looked at Liu Yuanyi coldly, but when his eyes swept over Su Ming's body, a trace of regret flashed.

Chu Hongzhen asked Yuan Qing to retreat, and now only he and his princes were left in the imperial study.

He looked at Chu Yelin, the seventh prince who was kneeling on the ground, with a look of hatred, and said:

"Old Seven, this time I will punish you to go to Jincheng, and then return to Beijing after solving the matter of national salt within three months. Do you have complaints? ”

The seventh prince originally thought that his father loved the eighth child on weekdays, but this time he was sure that he would not escape a heavy punishment if he was stolen.

Now that he heard that Chu Hongzhen only punished him to go to Jincheng for three months, he immediately thanked Dai De and thanked Chu Hongzhen.

"Erchen didn't dare to complain."

When Chu Hongzhen turned his head to look at Chu Yunshen, he felt that he was useless, except for investigating the authenticity of the tokens, ledgers, and lists, he did nothing.

His otherwise flat tone suddenly became stern.

"Fourth, are you guilty?"

"Erchen...... Ignorance. ”

"Huh. Ignorance? ”

Chu Hongzhen waved his hand and smashed the music fold on the table towards Chu Yunshen.

"The national salt deficit case is well known, and Chen Fu died a mysterious death! You are not doing well, and you still don't know what is wrong? ”

The fold slid down Chu Yunshen's head, and his face was smashed into a faint red mark.

Chu Yunshen didn't say a word, and knelt motionless.

It's just that the knuckles in his sleeves that were pinched and whitened betrayed him.

"The son is guilty."

Chu Hongzhen couldn't stand his attitude of indifferent to everything.

Seeing that he couldn't say a few words at a glance, he was helpless and waved his hand.

"Grounded for a month, and you don't have to go to the government for a few days."

"Okay."

Chu Yunshen's answer was almost inaudible, but Chu Hongzhen had already turned his head and stopped looking at him.

He just hid the turbulence in his eyes to the bottom of his heart, and his face still looked unfazed.

The Eighth Prince gloated and looked at Chu Yunshen, but he had quite an opinion on the execution of the Seven Princes.

He also wanted to continue to fan the flames, but was forced back by Chu Hongzhen's harsh eyes.

"Eighth brother, that's all for this matter."

When the eighth prince heard Chu Hongzhen's words, he knew that Chu Hongzhen was admonishing himself to the end.

He was frightened in his heart, for fear that Chu Hongzhen would find out something.

"What my father said is that I am also responsible for this matter. Erchen should not only think of brotherhood to protect Seventh Brother in disguise, Erchen should persuade Seventh Brother before Seventh Brother has made a big mistake. ”

The eighth prince knelt in front of Chu Hongzhen and said bitterly:

"Erchen is willing to sell a few of his Zhuangzi, replace the seventh brother to fill the emptiness of the national salt case, and voluntarily confined for ten days."

Chu Hongzhen looked tired, and just waved his hand after hearing this: "Okay." Stand down. ”

After saluting, Chu Yunshen and the three of them walked side by side towards the gate of the heavily guarded palace.

"Seventh brother is a good means."

The Eighth Prince's deliberately yin and yang weird tone made the Seventh Prince, who already felt aggrieved, even more angry, and he was not polite, and directly confronted him-for-tat:

"It's not as talented as the eighth brother, and this time the fourth brother has been brought together."

Chu Yunshen had never liked to talk to them too much, and he didn't intend to refute the words of the Seventh Prince.

His silence seemed more like a tacit acquiescence to the Seven Princes, causing the Seven Princes to stop and glare at him angrily.

"The fourth brother helped the eighth brother to reverse black and white like this, don't you feel sorry?"

"Seventh brother, what you said is not right, the fourth brother is just acting impartially."

The Eighth Prince had the intention to let the Seventh Prince misunderstand that Chu Yunshen was biased in favor of him, and the words he said were also deliberately guided.

Only then did he know the benefits of the Seven Princes going to Jincheng.

After all, it's three months.

If you are not in the capital for three months, who can say what will happen.

The Seventh Prince didn't know what the Eighth Prince had in mind, but after listening to his words, he turned pale and walked away.

Chu Yunshen disdainfully watched Chu Jingxuan play such a little trick, and walked out of the palace quickly to distance himself from him.

Xiao Wu had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and when he saw Chu Yunshen coming out, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Chu Yunshen knelt in the imperial study for a long time with injuries on his body, and just now he was hit by the fold again, and at this time he already felt a dampness on his outer robe.

Sticky. The greasy blood was pasted along with the clothes, and a strong smell of blood soon came from the carriage.
