The imperial court did not unseal until the tenth day of the first month.

Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, someone from the palace came to report, saying that Qi Huan and the prince of Korea entered the palace early in the morning to ask to see the emperor, and the emperor came out of the imperial concubine, so he let Qi Huan go to the prince.

The prince was surprised, he didn't know what kind of urgency could make Qi Huan enter the palace early in the morning, and hurriedly asked people to take Qi Huan and the two to the study, and he arrived later.

As soon as the prince arrived at the study, before he could sit down, he heard Qi Huan say, "Prince, Zhang Shilang is dead." ”

……

Yesterday, Han Danqing hurriedly found him, and said that Zhang Shilang was dead.

Qi Huan didn't have time to change his clothes, so he went to the cell of Dali Temple with Han Danqing.

On the way, Han Danqing explained the ins and outs of the matter to Qi Huan.

Zhang Shilang was the key figure in the robbery of the disaster bank, and Qi Huan naturally sent someone to strictly guard it.

Perhaps nothing happened all the time, and the guards let their guard down.

This morning, when the guards brought breakfast to Zhang Shilang, he was fine.

When it was time to deliver dinner in the evening, the person who delivered the meal saw Zhang Shilang sitting in the corner with his head down, and he didn't care about it at first, put down the dinner and said "It's time to eat" and left.

After a while, when I went to collect the dishes and chopsticks, I found that the food had not been moved, and the person who delivered the food shouted several times, but Zhang Shilang did not respond, so I felt that something was wrong.

Opening the cell door, Yanai walked to Zhang Shilang's side, and tentatively put his finger under Zhang Shilang's nose, only to find that Zhang Shilang had no breath.

Yanai felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly reported it.

Dali Temple received the news, immediately sent someone to run to Qifu to deliver the letter, met Han Danqing on the way, said something, Han Danqing turned the horse's head and went to Qifu.

Qi Huan and Han Danqing quickly rushed to the prison where Zhang Shilang was held in Dali Temple.

Zhang Shilang is still the same as before, and people who don't know only think that he is just sitting there, and they won't find out that the person is actually dead.

Qi Huan stretched out his hand and lifted Zhang Shilang's head.

Zhang Shilang looked serene, but his face was blue and black, and he looked a little terrifying.

Han Danqing also squatted down, and his tone was strange: "It looks like poisoning." ”

Zhang Shilang was searched after he was locked in, or Han Danqing searched Zhang Shilang's body, he was very sure that Zhang Shilang had no place to hide drugs, even if there was, he would have searched it out a long time ago.

But now Zhang Shilang has been poisoned to death.

Qi Huan stood up, took out a handkerchief and asked while wiping his hands, "What is the meal that Zhang Shilang has eaten these days?" ”

The person in charge of delivering the food was also there, and replied: "These days, they are all small ones to deliver meals to Zhang Shilang, and the meals delivered are also made by the people arranged by Dali Temple, and the other prisoners eat the same as Zhang Shilang." ”

But only Zhang Shilang died.

The problem was not in the meal, Qi Huan asked again: "Has anyone come to see Zhang Shilang recently and talked to Zhang Shilang?" ”

Yanei, who was guarding the prison, thought for a while and shook his head: "I haven't seen outsiders come to see Zhang Shilang since he came in, but yesterday Chang Shaoqing brought people to inspect the cell, and stood in front of Zhang Shilang's cell door for a while before leaving. ”

Seeing that Qi Huan's expression was different, Yanei was afraid that this Dali Siqing would suspect Chang Shaoqing, so he said more: "But there were still a few Yanai together at that time, Chang Shaoqing just stood for a while, and he didn't make contact with Zhang Shilang, let alone speak!" ”

Qi Huan glanced at Yanei, didn't say anything, and asked instead, "Did Zhang Shilang leave anything behind?" ”

Yanei didn't know what Qi Huan thought, but he didn't say much, and when he saw Qi Huan asking about something else, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes." ”

Handing a piece of paper to Qi Huan, Yanai explained, "This was found next to Zhang Shilang. ”

Han Danqing: "Where did Zhang Shilang get the paper and pen?" ”

Yanei: "At this time, Zhang Shilang asked me to send it this morning, and the little one saw that Zhang Shilang just asked for paper and pen, and the small one came here." ”

Speaking of this, Yanai was a little scared: "My lord, did I do something wrong?" ”

Han Danqing shook his head.

This is not to blame on Yanai.

Although Zhang Shilang was imprisoned, the emperor has not said how to deal with it, Zhang Shilang still has an official position, and if he has any requirements, as long as he is not excessive, he will naturally accept it.

Qi Huan took the paper and opened it.

It's a confession.

It is said that because Xu Shangshu favored the right waiter in the household department, Zhang Shilang felt that Xu Shangshu was eccentric, and after years of accumulation, his dissatisfaction with Xu Shangshu reached its peak. I wanted to start with this disaster and frame Xu Shangshu.

Zhang Shilang first found someone to pretend to be a rogue to rob in Shuangziling, if he succeeded, he would be able to have a large sum of silver in his hand, if he failed, let the rogue confess him, and then he confessed Xu Shangshu, and pulled Xu Shangshu off the horse.

Xiucai is also mentioned above, Zhang Shilang has been looking for someone to imitate Xu Shangshu's handwriting to write him letters about robbing the disaster silver, and beating Xu Shangshu to death when he "ordered" him to rob the disaster silver.

It's just that he couldn't find anything that satisfied him, until he met Xiucai, and the imitation of the handwriting was terrifying, and even Xu Shangshu himself couldn't see the difference.

Zhang Shilang was very satisfied with the handwriting imitated by Xiucai, and after Xiucai imitated the "evidence", Zhang Shilang bribed an entourage of Xu Shangshu's side, stole Xu Shangshu's private seal, and returned it when he ran out, unknowingly.

Zhang Shilang confessed that he dared to do this because Xu Shangshu was the "master", he just had to obey the orders of his boss, and there were words of persuasion from Zhang Shilang in the forged letter, but Xu Shangshu had been "bent on going his own way".

In this way, when he is finally convicted, Xu Shangshu may not be able to escape the beheading, and he, who is forced to join the same stream, will only be exiled at worst.

The plan went well, and Xu Shangshu didn't even have a good Spring Festival.

At the end, it was written that after he was put in prison, he was the only one who remembered the past.

Xu Shangshu is a good boss, although he prefers the right waiter, but he is also good to him, but with comparison, he will not be satisfied.

Zhang Shilang began to regret designing to frame Xu Shangshu in this way, and thought that Xu Shangshu might be beheaded all over the house because of his design, and his heart was full of remorse.

The more he thought about it, the more Zhang Shilang felt that he should not frame Xu Shangshu, so he wrote this letter of accusation to clear Xu Shangshu's grievances

At the end of the confession, it was written that he hoped that the emperor and Dali Temple would return Xu Shangshu to an innocence.

As for Zhang Shilang, he consciously faced Xu Shangshu speechlessly, and finally decided to apologize with death.

After reading it, Qi Huan had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say it until he met the prince.

After putting away the confession, Qi Huan suddenly thought of something and asked Yanei: "Where is the ink written by Zhang Shilang?" ”

Yanai was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Yes, what about Mo?" ”

Han Danqing walked over to Zhang Shilang's body again and opened Zhang Shilang's mouth.

I couldn't see it clearly, Han Danqing brought the oil lamp in his hand closer, looked at it carefully, and put his finger in and wiped it, and when he took it out, his finger was stained with black things.

Han Danqing put it under his nose and sniffed it, and finally nodded at Qi Huan.

The rest of the ink was drunk by Zhang Shilang.

The oil lamp slipped from Yanei's hand, and Qi Huan caught it quickly.
