Chapter Fifty-Eight: The End
Nonsense?
Chu Tingchuan looked at Chen You and Qi Huanji with a smile: "Otherwise, with your relationship, I can't figure out why Chen Shilang is willing to risk his official position being taken away and pass on such a thing that I know is nonsense." Isn't it because you've been reluctant for a long time? β
Zhou Shilang lowered his head and coughed, almost suspecting that Chu Tingchuan had been specializing in Jinyi Guards all his life.
The ability to speak such clichΓ©s.....
Reluctant to ....
Chen Shilang was greatly insulted, and his emotions were a little out of control: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country, how can he blurt out such an unfounded thing?!" Your Highness can know the truth of everyone's mouth and destroying the bones!? Has Your Highness ever respected your aunt, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess?! How can you insult people like that? β
Qi Huanji was already so angry that his eyes were about to burst.
Chu Tingchuan was unmoved, and said with a sigh: "The eldest princess has raised such disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous people, and she has been abolished as a concubine, she is not the aunt of this palace, as for the public mouth, the accumulation of ruined bones..... Then I have to ask Lord Chen to explain, you haven't been in and out of the princess's mansion late at night? Don't talk about it far away, let's just say that the night before you got married in this palace, you secretly went to the eldest princess's mansion, and now there is still the concierge of the eldest princess's mansion to testify, in the middle of the night, what did Chen Shilang do? β
Chen You was speechless.
Chu Tingchuan sneered: "Lord Chen, is it because you yourself are not standing upright, or are you slandered by others?" In other words, Lord Chen really didn't recommend himself for a pillow seat, that is, he had other plans...... The eldest princess provoked the crown princess and failed, Qi Juma asked to reconcile with the eldest princess, and Qi Huanji killed his father in anger...... These things are too coincidental to say, it's like a playbook, could it be that all this was calculated by Chen Shilang? β
Chen Shilang's face changed greatly!
He couldn't help but feel that a mouthful of blood was about to spurt out, and he felt that Chu Tingchuan's mouth was really vicious, and every word he said was overwhelming.
What is calculated? What can he calculate?
What did Chu Tingchuan say......
Chen Shilang glanced at Zhou Shilang, but saw that Zhou Shilang was also looking at him, with some scrutiny and undisguised suspicion in his eyes.
Smell a rat!
Zhou Shilang even doubted him!
He said to Li Shangshu angrily: "Master Li! I have also been an old man in the Criminal Department for many years! Have I ever done anything that I knowingly broke the law? I am still an official now, and I am not suspicious, how can I be tried as a prisoner? Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't look down on us courtiers like this, right?! β
Master Li touched his beard, but he was not angry or taken away by his words, but said lightly: "Why are you in such a hurry? Guangyu, if you are really innocent, what is wrong with asking? The main thing is not that His Highness wants to judge you without any evidence. β
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Qi Huanji under the hall, squinted his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Really speaking, it is Qi Gongzi himself who admits that he has a lot to do with Chen Shilang, we think about it, and we can reveal the content of the suicide note left by Her Royal Highness the princess as soon as possible, and we can't be idlers, no, I'll ask you." β
Li Shangshu is not stupid, this subordinate has some problems, can he just protect it all the time?
Looking at the vigorous and resolute character of this highness, that is not a person who can be accommodating!
Zhou Shilang obviously thought the same thing, he laughed, and said comfortingly with his hands behind his back: "Oh, Guangyu, what are you anxious about?" Since you say you have been wronged, do you have any evidence to prove it? Your Highness has evidence from the porter pointing out that you have been to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, how do you explain it? Going in and out late at night many times, this thing is really unreasonable, right? If you can't tell, then ......"
He looked at Chen You with a smile: "That Guangyu, you are really a little suspicious." β
Chen You was angry.
He gritted his teeth coldly, but he didn't say a word.
Zhou Shilang saw Chu Tingchuan looking at him, and after several weighings, he immediately smiled again: "Why bother, Guangyu, we are all colleagues, take advantage of the present, do you have something to say." If you don't cooperate like that, then I'm going to be embarrassed. This case is a matter of human life, and it also involves the life of Yongchang, a wasted man, don't be confused. I've heard that there have been a few times when you went to the princess's mansion, but your eldest son accompanied the escort, if not, you really don't say, then let's go and ask your son, it's the same. β
That's not an ordinary question.
Chen You has been in the Criminal Department for so many years, and he can't hear what Zhou Shilang means.
This is actually going to threaten him with his son!
His face was cloudy, and he seemed to be in great torment.
Chu Tingchuan snorted coldly.
His patience has also reached the limit.
Zhou Shilang immediately said: "Call a few people, go to Chen Shilang's house, and invite the eldest son of the Chen family to come over." β
He said yes, but if he came over, how would he be treated, that's another matter, anyway, it's not really a guest.
Chen You saw a lot of the means in the yamen, and he immediately blurted out: "Don't involve my son!" β
Qi Huanji had already fainted, and the wounds on his body were still oozing blood.
Chen You glanced at him, gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, and finally admitted: "I said it!" It was I who told Gongzi Qi, the eldest princess...... No, the dead man and the contents of the suicide note. β
The three people sitting at the top didn't react, as if they had expected this to be the case.
Chen You was depressed in his heart, he has now become a fish on someone else's board, whether he is dead or alive depends on Chu Tingchuan's mood.
But he hurriedly distinguished: "I only passed this news to him, and it was also because the eldest princess begged me, I received the favor of the eldest princess in the past, such a thing..... I can't get away with it. β
What he said was sincere, but Chu Tingchuan's face was still pale and did not change in the slightest, obviously he was not impressed.
Chu Tingchuan asked coldly: "Since you said so, then what did you do when you went to the Princess's Mansion before the wedding banquet in the East Palace?" β
He seized the loophole in Chen You's words: "You said that it was just a favor from the past, just a favor from the past, is it worth it for you to go to the Eldest Princess's Mansion again and again?" Is it possible that the horse is just an ornament? β
They must have something else to do with it.
But Chen You was already very embarrassed to ask, and he was so annoyed that he said: "It's just the favor of the past, so we have some friendship with each other, and there is nothing else, otherwise what would I want!" I'm not crazy, I have to offend the East Palace for no reason! β
It is not necessary to lose your mind and not lose your mind, but it is certain that you have other plans, Chu Tingchuan stopped talking, and just looked at him heavily.
