Chapter 250: The Emperor's Interrogation
Jing Xing and Wei Rui were stunned when they saw Kang Shangshu pick up the dress, the two of them first glanced at each other, and then Jing Xing walked up to Kang Shangshu, hesitated and asked, "Lord Kang, is this dress really yours?" ”
Kang Shangshu was a little inexplicable, picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully, found a small Kang character on the lacing, nodded and said: "This dress is indeed mine, and this has a surname as proof." ”
Looking at him with a look of not knowing what was going on, Jing Xing frowned slightly, this matter was somewhat weird.
He repeatedly confirmed: "If you look closely, is this dress really yours?" ”
Kang Shangshu seemed a little inexplicable, carefully checked the clothes again, and then said: "I'm sure this dress is mine, and the embroidery on the belt is enough to prove this." ”
Jing Xing lowered his eyelids and looked at Wei Rui with a complicated expression, Wei Rui couldn't figure out what was wrong, this matter was weird and weird everywhere.
Because Kang Shangshu claimed the dress, he was quickly arrested and sent to the emperor, while Jiang Yuyang took another piece of clothing and disappeared.
Jingxing followed Kang Shangshu to the emperor, and Wei Rui stayed there alone, she couldn't understand what was wrong, and she couldn't understand why it was not someone else, but Kang Shangshu?
Guan Qing came a little late, and when he saw Wei Rui standing there a little lost in his soul, he asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you come along? ”
Wei Rui raised his eyes to look at Guan Qing, and said after a while: "You have found the owner of that dress, you may not be able to think of who it is." ”
Guan Qing looked at Wei Rui suspiciously, and after learning the truth, he immediately turned around and went to the emperor.
Wei Rui stood in place, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, something was definitely wrong, she thought.
I asked the guard next to me if there were any people who came and went in this place at will today except for people who took clothes, and the answer I got was no.
Then there is no one who dropped the bag, and there is also embroidered Kang on the belt, which should not be wrong with Kang Shangshu. So, what's going on with that dress? The murderer will definitely not be Kang Shangshu, how could he kill his most admired and beloved son? It doesn't make sense.
It seems that there must be some twists and turns in this, and the only person who knows the truth is probably Kang Shangshu.
When he rushed to the emperor, Kang Shangshu didn't know what mistake he had made, he just thought that he had been a little absent-minded recently because of Kang Ying, so he made a mistake. I didn't expect that he would be dragged into the affair.
Concubine Ying has been kneeling in front of the emperor for a long time, she looks very flustered, and the whole person looks completely devoid of her previous domineering, but when she saw that the person who was brought up was Kang Shangshu, her expression immediately changed.
The person who was still flustered just now seemed to become relieved all of a sudden, and then she immediately shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged, really wronged, I haven't even seen this person, how can it have anything to do with him?" Besides, this dress, it seems that most people and concubines have the same clothes, and they are not the only one at all, please check it out. ”
Concubine Ying's sophistry is pale in anyone's eyes, even if she is wronged this time, she will not be as favored as before. The impact of this incident on her is absolute, but there are still many things that need to be confirmed.
Jing Xing picked up the dress in Kang Shangshu's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally handed it to the emperor.
The emperor glanced at Kang Shangshu, then looked the dress up and down, left and right, and then threw Concubine Ying's piece to Kang Shangshu, and said: "Kang Aiqing explained to me why your clothes are exactly the same as Concubine Ying's clothes, and they are exactly the same in every way?" ”
Kang Shangshu was surprised at first, and then he took the dress tremblingly, and after looking at it carefully, he stumbled and said, "I...... I don't know what's going on. I have never found this problem, and I didn't deliberately want to wear the same clothes as Concubine Ying, and I asked the emperor to check it. ”
When Emperor Qing heard his answer, he immediately threw the teacup in his hand in front of him: "Let me see clearly?" How to see? Now that the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say? "Book bar
"The minister is wronged!" Kang Shangshu shouted, "The minister's son has just passed away, how can he be in the mood to do such a thing?" Besides, except for the banquet in the palace, the ministers have hardly seen Concubine Ying, and they are not familiar with Concubine Ying at all, how can there be such a thing! ”
As soon as Kang Ying's death was mentioned, the emperor's mood seemed to change, he sighed, and Jing Xing also said in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, I'm afraid that there is no other world, and I have to investigate it carefully." ”
"How?" The emperor obviously didn't agree with Jingxing's proposal, "I can make it clear to you, you were the one who asked for the investigation at the beginning, and you are the one who is blocking the investigation now, if this matter is found out in the end or Kang Shangshu did it, then you have to give me an explanation." ”
Jing Xing nodded and said, "That's nature." However, the minister can conclude that this incident must not be Kang Shangshu's doing, because the person who caught Concubine Ying cheating with another person that night was Kang Shangshu's son Kang Ying. Now that Kang Ying has died tragically, Kang Shangshu has been languishing for a long time, and the minister believes that the tiger poison does not eat children, so it is naturally impossible for Kang Shangshu to kill his own child, so the murderer must be someone else. ”
Emperor Qing seemed to feel that there was some truth in what he said, and then looked at Kang Shangshu again, and then said to Jing Xing: "Then who can explain to me what is going on with these two clothes?" Why is even Hezhou's silver thread the same? ”
Hearing this, Kang Shangshu took the lead in raising his head, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he knows the most about the affairs of other countries, what is the silver thread in Hezhou, for him, it is the most familiar thing.
How could there be silver thread on his own clothes, and it was impossible for him not to know that silver thread was a very valuable thing, and he couldn't use it indiscriminately. Besides, the silver thread would glow slightly at night, and if he really had it, how could he not have noticed it?
At this time, Kang Shangshu also began to wonder if this dress was his own.
He stared at the dress for a long time and said, "Can you show me the dress again?" ”
Jingxing glanced at the emperor, and Emperor Qing rubbed his head and handed him the clothes.
At this time, Concubine Ying, who was kneeling on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. She climbed to the emperor's feet, hugged his legs and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The concubine was wronged in this matter, your majesty. It must be...... It must be the prince who wants to frame me, who doesn't know that he has a good relationship with Sun Qian'er? knew that I robbed Sun Qian'er of her position, so he came to frame me because he was unhappy with Sun Qian'er! I didn't do those things at all, I didn't do it at all, I didn't know this man at all, I didn't know why he wore the same clothes as me, and I didn't understand why he had Hezhou's silver thread. ”
"Maybe......" She cried so much that her tone suddenly changed: "Maybe he secretly loves his concubine, so he made these things to disgust his concubine." He is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the silver thread of Hezhou, and he must have told him that it should not be a particularly difficult thing to obtain, so this situation will occur. Please also ask the emperor to be the master of the concubines, if it is really a disgusting thing that this person did himself, I hope that the emperor will give the concubines justice! ”
Concubine Ying's ability to talk nonsense and reverse black and white made Wei Rui really admire. The emperor was interrogated outside, and there were many people around, Wei Rui tried her best to squeeze forward, but there were too many people, and she would always be squeezed outside.
Fortunately, Guan Qing was a little ahead of her, and after standing there and watching for a while, he realized that she hadn't squeezed in front, so he asked someone to bring her over. Wei Rui finally squeezed to the front, and now many things can be seen clearly.
Concubine Ying's words made Wei Rui angry, she really wanted to go up and identify this woman, but the man was still not sure who it was, if she rushed out and didn't catch the man, she was afraid that she and Yun Gong would be in danger.
Therefore, Wei Rui held back.
Faced with Concubine Ying's injustice for no reason, Kang Shangshu really couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't know who to provoke recently, first his son died for no reason, and now he is involved in such a lawsuit, which is really speechless.
Thinking of everything he had suffered recently, looking at the clothes, he thought for a long, long time, and finally put the clothes down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has always been loyal and courageous, has been an official for many years, conscientious, not to mention the two sleeves of the breeze, but has never been public and private, not long ago the minister's son will drown in Qianli Lake, and now the minister is going to bear the charge of cheating, the minister does not know who he offended, but if the emperor must suspect that the minister did this, then ask the emperor to execute the minister." ”
Emperor Qing was silent for a while, but he was obviously unhappy, seeing that Emperor Qing was about to get angry, if he was really punished according to what Kang Shangshu said, then not only Kang Shangshu, but Kang Mansion would be completely finished at this moment.
Wei Rui was so angry that she rushed over directly, picked up the dress, handed it to Kang Shangshu and said, "Take a look again, take a closer look at this dress, is it yours or not?" You see clearly, look carefully, don't jump to conclusions, okay? ”
Kang Shangshu looked at Wei Rui and said slowly: "How could I admit my own clothes?" This belt is obviously embroidered with the word Kang! ”
Wei Rui picked up the belt and looked at the Kang character carefully, and suddenly, she felt as if she smelled something strange on the clothes, the smell was strange and familiar.
