Chapter 134: The End
Yang Zhiyi knew that now was not the time to care about the corpses in the palace, and now that the Criminal Department had survived, his father would be able to explain it.
It's a pity that on the way, I only asked that there was a letter related to Rui Wangfu, what was written in the letter, and how much was directly related to him, Yang Zhiyi had no clue.
Su Zhao is still too young in the end, and his emotional restraint skills are not as good as Su Shangshu's, but this unkind appearance with a tense face also makes Yang Zhiyi unsure whether to start with him.
Su Shangshu didn't let King Rui wait for a long time, after all, he was a dignified prince, and his reputation was much better than that of King Shen, and he forcibly invited people to the Criminal Department.
"It's hard for King Rui to make this trip, and the officials are also afraid that if they come to visit, there may be gossip that is not favorable to King Rui."
"It's okay, it's okay, Lord Su is discerning, my father has entrusted me with important tasks, and this king should cooperate."
Seeing Su Shangshu squinting and tasting tea, with a homely and friendly appearance, Yang Zhiyi had no choice but to smile and be aggrieved, speaking well and being afraid of gossip, as if he would not have gossip if he was invited to the Criminal Department.
Yang Zhiyi now really understands why his father's attitude towards these important ministers of the court is so contradictory.
On the one hand, he was extremely trusting, and the roots of his teeth were itching with hatred behind his back, and he called these important ministers one by one by an old fox, but there was really no one to send away.
"Weichen invited His Royal Highness King Rui, in fact, it's not a big deal, but there is someone who wants to inquire with His Royal Highness King Rui, I wonder if there is a man named Luo Sanfat in His Royal Highness King Rui's mansion?"
"Luo San Fat? Yes, yes, he is a steward in the palace, tsk...... Could it be that he has committed something? β
These strategists raised by Yang Zhiyi all have royal errands on the surface, after all, Jiakang Dilong is in good health, and such a blatant strategist can't say anything on his face, so setting up another name is also full of each other's face.
Over the years, there have been more and more conflicts with my eldest brother, and I thought the time was ripe, but I didn't expect to be exposed by this idiot.
"Does this Steward Luo have any relatives and friends to do with the Shen Wangfu?"
Su Shangshu asked unhurriedly, and the letter in his arms was lying there steadily, and he didn't mean to take it out.
Su Zhao also gradually calmed down, looking at Yang Zhiyi intently, not letting go of any of his strange expressions.
"This Luo Sanpang was married by the princess of this king, and there are some relatives in the family, and they have a relationship with the Shen Wangfu, which... This king really doesn't know, otherwise Lord Su will send someone to the Rui Palace, and invite the princess too? β
Yang Zhiyi and Su Shangshu were playing Tai Chi, and at this moment, they probably had a number of letters in their hearts, it seems that this Luo Sanfat still has a bit of brains, and he didn't involve the palace too much.
Su Zhao looked at Yang Zhiyi's gradually relaxed expression, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't care to look at it anymore.
It is the limit that my father can invite King Rui to interrogate because of these letters, and he has just finished dealing with Princess Shen, and if he invites Princess Rui to the Criminal Department again, he will definitely have to kneel on the washboard when he goes back today.
Su Shangshu lowered his eyes and looked at the yellowed tea leaves, and sighed lightly, knowing that this matter was not easy to do, but he didn't expect one or two to be so thoughtful, it can be seen that they are fully prepared......
Watching Su Shangshu put down the teacup and felt out the letter in his arms, Yang Zhiyi's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be puzzled.
"These are the letters that asked Lord Su to ask someone to bring this king to the criminal department? What does that mean? β
Su Zhao looked at King Rui's appearance, and faintly felt sick to his stomach, obviously he was pretending, but he couldn't pierce him, this feeling of aggrieved was even more uncomfortable than the first time he asked Tong Manji to go to Ruyi Lou for dinner, but the money he brought was not enough to pay.
"These letters are written by the Steward Luo in the prince's mansion and the man who hanged himself, and each letter has the private seal of the Steward Luo, and the official has also checked it, and it is indeed the seal of the steward."
"Then ...... in this letter"
"In each letter there are details of the women's daily life and daily habits, as well as their addresses and appearances, which have been checked by the magistrate, and these women are all related to... I had dealings with His Royal Highness King Shen, and afterwards I either had more money at home or settled the matter......"
"Bang-"
Yang Zhiyi smashed his fist on several cases, and the already somewhat unstable square cases fell apart after shaking twice.
Su Shangshu accepted his words with a heartache on his face, touched his heart, but smiled in his heart.
The budget of the Criminal Department is limited, and these tables, chairs and benches have long wanted to be replaced with new ones, but the old money in the household department just refused to approve it, and now it's okay, Rui Wang's punch can be regarded as a big problem.
"Uh...... This king was angry for a while, this... The quality of the things in this criminal department is a little too ......."
"What His Royal Highness King Rui said is yes, our Criminal Department is a well-known Qingshui Yamen, you smashed this square number, Weichen estimated that it had been used for more than ten years, I didn't expect to be fortunate to die in the hands of His Royal Highness King Rui today, and it was his life that should be like this."
Yang Zhiyi's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, but seeing that Su Shangshu's gaze kept falling on the scattered cases, he thought about it and felt that he was too careful.
There is no evidence to prove that this matter is related to him, even if his father asks, he doesn't know anything, and at most he bears the infamy of not knowing anyone.
"Hehe, what Lord Su said is yes, these objects in the Criminal Department are in disrepair, in case one day Lord Su's chair also has a problem, it will not be good. The steward in this king's palace is ignorant and has made a big mistake, and if this king is completely irresponsible, he can't say it, so how about this king personally replace a batch of brand-new tables and chairs for the criminal department? β
"Oh, the prince is really sympathetic to my criminal department, this table and chair have a new look, and I will be more motivated to serve the court again, if only the prince could be so happy on the household side." Don't you know, our criminal department still drinks old tea, a meal a day is only two vegetarian and one meat, there is no way to be tight, even pen, ink, paper and inkstone have to be saved, what can be said never need to be written, this few fast horses are not willing to use, what is there I am to run errands in person, this is not you look at Weichen's shoes are worn out and reluctant to change. Lord, Weichen ......"
"Stopβthe king understands. In this way, in addition to the tables, chairs and benches, what else is missing in the Criminal Department, I bother Lord Su to make a list, and send someone to the palace to find the princess regardless of the price, and the king will go to the palace to visit the concubine, so he will leave first. β
"Okay, well, Weichen will send the prince."
"Don't don't, don't do it, Master Su is on an errand for his father, don't delay, this king will go by himself." As for Na Luo San Fat, Lord Su can send someone to the mansion to summon him. β
"Weichen obeyed the order, thank you to the prince."
After sending King Rui away, Su Zhao looked at his father who was squinting and drinking cold tea, and then looked at the cases that had fallen apart.
"Father, do you still want to send someone to King Rui's Mansion to arrest Naluo Sanfat?"
"Of course I want to go, even if I know that the person is definitely no longer in the palace, I still have to go, if I don't do this face-saving effort, it is not King Rui who is unlucky, but our criminal department."
Su Shangshu glanced at his son, who was frowning and silent, stood up and walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Son, the emperor is a benevolent monarch, there is no direct evidence for this incident, none of us can move, even if you find out any evidence, do you think the emperor will definitely give an order to kill who will avenge King Shen's grievances?"
"Then do you want to give up on finding out the truth?"
"The truth is in your heart, if you don't forget it, it won't pass, and one day there will be an explanation. Do you remember the files in the treasury that made you sort out for so many days? There are so many old cases, why does my father want you to keep them in order from time to time? is to wait for the day when I can avenge the grievances of those people, and what I can't do now, I will strive to achieve it in the future. β
Su Zhao looked at his father's back as he shook his head and left, and was silent for a while before calling out to him and asking.
"Where are you going? Son accompanies you. β
"Where to go? Knowingly, I asked, of course, I went to the Rui Wangfu to find the princess to get money and things. β
