Chapter 35: The Disaster of the Zongren Mansion
Seeing Yueru, a playful smile flashed in Yun Mengchen's eyes, and the girl really couldn't hold back and sent someone over to beg for mercy. Put away your thoughts and straighten your mind: "Get up." After she got up, Yun Mengchen looked arrogant: "Say, what is the matter with this king, did the princess let you come to intercede?" β
Before Yun Mengchen's words of refusal could be spoken, he was almost startled by Yueru's words and almost didn't get out of his wheelchair: "What did you just say?" His face was clouded, and his starry eyes looked at her with a cold light.
"The princess left the house in the afternoon and has not come back until now, when the slave maid was cleaning in the house, and heard the guard who guarded the door come and told the princess that someone was looking for the princess, and it seemed that she was the princess's sister." Yue Ru said truthfully.
Qi Xiao felt that it was no big deal when he heard this, the first surviving princess, her mother's family would naturally be very anxious to confirm her safety, maybe the sisters were chatting happily, and it was normal for people to forget the time.
"Qi Xiao, call the two guards who are guarding the door in."
"Yes."
After a while, the two guards came to the study, and Yun Mengchen glanced at the two of them: "Who told the princess that someone was looking for her in the afternoon?" The voice was cold, without any temperature.
The two guards didn't dare to slack off at all: "Back to the prince, it's a villain." β
"Who the hell is looking for the princess, and where have they gone?"
"Return, back to the prince, there was a woman who claimed to be the princess's sister to find the princess and asked the villain to tell her, and then the princess went with the villain to see the girl, the girl was crying, as if she was in a hurry, after seeing the princess, she pulled her and said a bunch of words, and finally the princess went with the girl."
"Oh yes, the villain seems to have heard the girl say something wrong, what Prince Rui or something, in short, it looks like something should be in a hurry." The guard added.
Yun Mengchen finally reacted a little when he heard this, his good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and the expression on his face became solemn. After the two guards recounted everything, Qi Xiao asked them all to retreat.
"Lord Wang, do you want your subordinates to send someone to Prince Rui's Mansion to inquire about the situation?"
Yun Mengchen waved his hand calmly: "Prince Rui, that reckless man is a person who must be compared, today outside the palace gate his woman was so humiliated, he will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, but this king didn't expect him to move so fast." β
Qi Xiao listened quietly, the calmer his prince was, the more it meant that he already had an idea in his heart, so he just had to wait for his prince to send a message to him to carry out the order!
"He didn't dare to do anything to this king, but it didn't mean that he didn't dare to do it to the people of the Yan Mansion, Yan Ruzhi was a small civil official, it was really not too easy to pinch him. Qi Xiao, you immediately send someone to the Yan Mansion to inquire to see if something happened to the Yan Mansion, and send another group of people to find out where the princess is now! β
After Qi Xiao received the order, Yun Mengchen looked out the window, his starry eyes flashed with a dark light, and the bottom of his eyes gradually blurred a complicated look.
Qi Xiao's efficiency has never disappointed him, but with a cup of tea, the ins and outs of the matter have been clarified: "Lord Wang, Lord Yan Ruzhi has been accused of having an affair with Qin Xiang's son and has been sent to the Zongren Mansion for trial. And the princess she...."
Hearing Qi Xiao's paused words, Yun Mengchen didn't ask him again, he already understood: "Go to the Zongren Mansion!" β
"Lord Wang, you can't come forward in this matter, the Zongren Mansion is full of the queen's power, this time Lord Yan fell off the horse, it is obvious that someone deliberately framed him, who doesn't know that this Qin Xiang and others were disposed of by the prince, this Lord Yan is now the prince's father-in-law, accusing him, isn't this clearly going to give the prince you small shoes, we can't fall for their scheme, Lord Wang!"
"You also said that he is the king's father-in-law, not to mention that the princess is still there, so the king can't sit idly by, don't say it again, go to the Zongren Mansion to ask for someone!" After Yun Mengchen finished speaking, Qi Xiao immediately followed quickly.
At this time, in the Zongren Mansion, Yan Jiaxin was surrounded and taken to the cell as soon as she came, this cell is completely different from that of Qin Xiangfu, this one is bigger, more gloomy and more terrifying! The smell of blood inside, mixed with the smell of rotten flesh, is disgusting.
But this time, Yan Jiaxin was not so scared, she was just thinking, she should be more and less auspicious when she came in, and the housekeeper of the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion wanted to make a fuss about her, not only wanting to frame her father, but also wanting to pull Yun Mengchen into the water, which was simply shameless!
The rows of various torture instruments on the wall are shocking to look at, the dried bloodstains, and the skin and flesh are all stained on it layer by layer, highlighting the image of a 'prosperous business' in it....
The screams of people echoed throughout the prison, from the moment she entered. When she saw Yan Ruzhi, he was tied to a wooden stake and unconscious, and his body was whipped with a bloodstain!
"Daddy!" Yan Jiaxin rushed over in horror and anger, looking at the whip marks with open skin and flesh, Yan Jiaxin blocked in front of Yan Ruzhi: "Why did you beat my father, he is an official of the imperial court, if you do this, you are not afraid that the emperor will know the blame and let you go around without food!" β
Her voice was not loud but crisp and loud, attracting the man sitting next door who was watching the play to cast his eyes at her. After seeing the person, the corners of his lips hooked up a sinister sneer, and then he stood up and walked towards Yan Jiaxin. Since this creditor has already come, how can he continue to sit and watch the play.
"When the girl said this, I'm afraid she doesn't know what this place is, right?"
Hearing the voice, Yan Jiaxin looked at the person, peach blossom eyes, hooked nose, mink fur coat, a dark green brocade suit inside, a sign of a long figure, neither fat nor thin, but this person looked at it and made people feel that he was very angry, not quite like a kind person.
"Of course I know, Zongren Mansion." When she came, Yan Ruxin gave her a rough popularity.
"Now that I know, when I come, I will obediently explain what I have done, and I may be able to be sent lightly!"
"That's right, but this so-called catching traitors and catching doubles, catching thieves and taking stolen goods, you arrest people and torture people without evidence, you don't call it a trial, you call it abuse of lynching and torture!"
After listening to Yan Jiaxin's words, the man paused for three seconds, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahahahaha..." If this king has no evidence, can he directly escort you to the Zongren Mansion? β
After a pause, he walked over and raised Yan Jiaxin's chin with his fingers very lightly: "In addition to the people of the royal family, the Zongren Mansion is a place where the imperial court officials are judged, and people will not be easily caught here, but if you enter here and want to get out, it will not be so easy!" β
Yan Jiaxin turned her head in disgust: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, if you only want to condemn us with a few words from those people in the Qin Prime Minister's Mansion, then do you dare to let them come and confront me face to face?" β
Yan Jiaxin's disgusted action made the man very unhappy and frowned with his eyes closed, and after hearing her words, he felt that she was naΓ―ve and stupid, and now she still doesn't even know who she has offended, and she actually told him that she wants to find someone to confront him?
Is she really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Is it really that this people's mansion is playing with people, he doesn't have the patience to play with her here: "Come on, tie up this woman and try it together!" β
It's over, she is sending people to the head for thousands of miles, and she is going to plant it~ "Let go of me, you let go of me, you broke my hairpin, it was rewarded by the Queen Mother!" β
Xu is her scream was too loud, Yan Ruzhi woke up from the coma, and when she saw Yan Jiaxin, her expression instantly became excited: "Daughter, what are you doing here?" The joy of seeing her again immediately turned into deep worry.
"Miss Yan, don't resist anymore, my family is all because of you, the whole family has been beheaded, then you should consider today's consequences, do you think that if you help King Chen, you will be able to stay out of the matter, do you know how many enemies he has?"
Looking at Steward Wang who walked in from the door, listening to his words, Yan Jiaxin just wanted to laugh: "Steward Wang, it's you again, didn't you say enough in the mansion just now, right, what I heard in the alley that day was King Chen that you were going to assassinate, right?" β
Outside the prison door, the three people who had stopped outside since Steward Wang came in just now stood quietly and did not come in, Qi Xiao motioned for the jailer behind him to go down, and then stood there with Yun Mengchen listening to everything inside.
Steward Wang looked at the man, his expression was a little evasive, he was just instructed to accuse her, and he didn't want to accept her argument, and it was easy to show his stuff: "Miss Yan, I advise you to stop talking nonsense in order to get rid of your guilt, it's you and your father who united with the Qin Xiang family that King Nachen designed to frame, right?" β
"I didn't, my father didn't either, and King Chen didn't!"
"None? Then why did King Chen just go to Yan Mansion that day, and in less than half a day, you went to Qin Xiang's Mansion and asked Xiang Ye to go to Tianfu Teahouse to arrest people, isn't this something you have designed a long time ago? β
"Ah~ You finally tell the truth, you just because I refused you to let me help you find out the secrets of King Chen's Mansion and Yun Mengchen's whereabouts, and then that day I heard that you sent someone to assassinate King Chen, I ruined your good deeds, so you are now here to frame my father and me, right?"
Yan Jiaxin said and sneered, just now as soon as she came to the Zongren Mansion, the Wang housekeeper, said that she secretly gave the news of the official position of the court of the Qin Xiangfu, and said that his father sent her and the son of Qin Xiang to induce, which caused the son of Qin Xiang to go astray....
You must know that Yan Jiaxin's previous reputation is really indescribable, so those who believe in him are showing a one-sided trend, everyone knows that selling officials is a very serious matter, just look at the fate of the Qin Xiangfu family.
