Chapter 291: Interrogation (II)
Lan Yuqi hesitated for a moment before he said: "These are all the people below who are responsible, this prince didn't ask, and he bought it back and sold it again, it's been so long, I'm afraid it's sold out." β
"Really?" Lan Beichen glanced at him and said no more.
Lan Hongzhuo also seemed to be aware of Lan Beichen's purpose, but Lan Yuqi's answer was no problem, except that his words were a little flickering, which did not mean that there was a problem with his words.
The prince of Daqing and the prince of Aesop have business dealings, but it is not a problem. After all, the fifth prince, Lan Muxuan, had already set a precedent, and even did business in the Jin Kingdom. Lan Yuqi's purchase of Aesop's fur was not a problem, the two million arrears were their private matter, all of which showed that there was no problem with their meeting last night.
Lan Yuqi quickly calmed down and said with a light smile: "If Uncle Nine doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate." The second brother can also send someone to investigate in detail, just in April of the beginning of the year, if it is found that what I said is false, although I will be held responsible. β
What he said seemed to be hinting at, and Lan Hongzhuo could hear it clearly.
At the beginning of the year, Lan Yuqi was still messing with him, and he was the first to look at him, even if he found out anything, he was afraid that he would be suspected of having nothing to do with him. And he also knew what was going on, and since there were no loopholes in his rhetoric, he didn't want to dwell on it.
Lan Hongzhuo said coldly: "Okay, since there is no problem with your meeting, what about the later Jin State spies?" This prince depends on how you quibble, come to people, and bring people to witness and material! β
Immediately, several criminal department officers brought up a group of people who were tied up.
The men were all tied up with ropes, their long hair was disheveled, they were covered in wounds, and they had apparently been tortured for a long time. They are dressed in clothes similar to those of Istan, and at first glance they are Aesops. An officer threw a few knives and arrows on the ground, and everyone who watched looked at them with a look in their eyes.
At the sight of the Aesops and the captured weapons, Istan became agitated and yelled at them. The merchant in charge of the translation trembled when he heard this, and when he was almost scolded, he whispered: "My lord, he is scolding them for being born and raised by pigs, pigs, and their mothers are also cheap, cheap, and ......."
Wei Chifu frowned and said, "You don't need to translate this!" β
Seeing that everyone couldn't understand his words, Istan immediately changed his words, and angrily pointed at these people: "These traitors have been bought by you, no matter what they say or do, they are used to frame this prince!" They betrayed Aesop, betrayed the wolf god, and are going to hell! Their words are not to be trusted! β
"They were personally led by this prince, and they were caught in Honglu Temple yesterday! They used the weapons of the Jin Kingdom, and they also sneaked up to meet the spies of the Jin Kingdom, and we followed and caught them! β
Lan Hongzhuo's eyes flashed with a gloomy and fierce light: "Great Prince, how do you still want to quibble?" β
Istan refused to admit it, and said angrily: "Impossible, you said that he is a spy of the Jin Kingdom, right?" I also said that you are also a spy of the Jin Kingdom and betrayed Daqing! β
"Presumptuous! It's been ascertained, and you can't deny it! The eldest prince, your subordinates contacted the spies of the Jin Kingdom, and also bought the weapons of the Jin Kingdom, last night
The prince brought people to arrest him, and you did it first! If there is no ghost in your heart, why don't you explain it and do it instead? All the evidence shows that it has something to do with you, and Uncle Nine was attacked after you Aesops came, what else do you have to say! Lan Hongzhuo was shocked, and what he said was categorical!
"No, I don't, I don't admit it!"
Istan's cheeks twitched violently, and he roared angrily: "You are planting and framing!" This prince wants to see Emperor Yuanqing and ask him for justice, do you dare to frame this prince at will, do you want to start a war against Aesop?! β
Lan Hongzhuo said coldly: "Why don't you admit it, the evidence is conclusive, you are willing to recruit if you really want to be punished?" This is my Daqing, not you Aesop, who dare to do anything wrong when you come, intending to murder my Daqing royal family! On behalf of my father, this prince will ask you what the Khan of Aesop wants! β
The sound of thunder in his ears resounded through the court, and Istan seemed to have a premonition of something, and with a roar of rage, he rushed towards Lan Hongzhuo. Lan Yuqi hurriedly dodged away, and the messenger next to him immediately rushed over, raised the killing rod and beckoned to him, but he was knocked away twice.
Chi Fu, who was sitting next to Lan Hongzhuo, changed his face greatly, but he didn't have time to dodge, and when he saw Istan rushing over, a guard behind Lan Hongzhuo suddenly drew his sword and hit Istan's neck like lightning.
Istan's face was like ashes, stiff and he didn't dare to move, but his eyes were full of hatred, like thousands of knives plunging straight into Lan Hongzhuo's body.
"Dare to commit murder in front of the court, Prince Aesop, what are you if you don't have a weak heart? Since you don't confess, then don't blame this prince for being polite! Looking at Isstan, whose face was stiff but distorted by the sword's finger on his neck, Lan Hong Zhuo said solemnly: "Come on, torture, see if he can recruit him!" β
Istan glared angrily, his rebellious forehead cracked, and his teeth rattled: "You dare! β
The four officials rushed forward, dragging Istan to his knee and bending him backwards, and he was beaten to the ground even if he was strong, and the killing rod in the officer's hand was raised high, and it was about to fall.
"Stop!" Lan Beichen suddenly spoke.
"Uncle Nine?" Lan Hongzhuo's heart skipped a beat and he looked at him.
Everyone stared at Lan Beichen, not knowing why he wanted to stop it.
Lan Beichen's eyes were deep, and he said lightly: "Since the evidence is conclusive, it is the same whether you need to be punished or not, Prince Aesop, no matter who your people are bribed by, or you instigated them, they are Aesop people after all!" Whether you admit it or not, you can't get out of it. Instead of yelling and getting angry, think about how to solve it, unless you really want to die! β
"......" Istan let out a whimpering roar in his throat, but after a few struggles, he gradually calmed down.
"Let him get up." Lan Beichen said: "I am a state of etiquette in Daqing, and I will not bend into a move." β
The officials didn't wait for Lan Hongzhuo's order and quickly let go of Istanbul, and he got up in embarrassment, his face pale.
After a long time, he snorted heavily, his eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, this prince was negligent for a while, and this prince was tricked, and this prince admitted defeat." But this prince definitely did not plot to kill the Nine Princes, otherwise how could he be so careless, be
You catch? The prince confessed to the crime of negligence, but nothing else has anything to do with the prince, and I won't admit it! β
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, just admit it, at least the case can be closed.
As for whether someone bribed Istan or not, or whether he ordered it, it is really difficult to deal with it at a time when the relationship between the two countries is sensitive. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it was really instructed by the Great Prince Aesop, but after all, the Nine Princes Lan Beichen was not dead, would he still kill him?
Wei Chifu looked at Jiang Chengye, nodded slightly, and then said to Lan Hongzhuo: "Second prince, look ......"
"Since Uncle Nine has said so, then so be it." Lan Hongzhuo nodded, and then asked people to take Istan down first, continue to be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for the case to be reviewed by Emperor Yuanqing before making a decision.
Although Istan was not convinced, he did not resist again, and was taken down again with a blue face.
Soon, a group of Aesops were also taken down, and the lobby was quiet.
Only Lan Yuqi was left standing in the hall and said eagerly: "What about me?" Now that the case has nothing to do with me, can you let me go home? Without waiting for Lan Hongzhuo to speak, he begged Lan Beichen anxiously: "Uncle Jiu, from last night to now, I haven't seen Meng Yao, I don't know how she is, I'm worried about her." β
The worry on his face, the anxiety is overflowing, and it makes people feel very emotional.
Lan Beichen stood up, hugged Dayu and said, "Don't worry, the princess has gone to see her, it should be fine." β
"It's good that the princess goes, Meng Yao should be fine, but Uncle Jiu, I'm still worried about Meng Yao and want to meet her......"
"If you want to go, you can go, anyway, she is your fiancΓ©e, and it is also appropriate to go and take a look." Lan Beichen nodded, didn't stay long, nodded to the rest of the people and said: "Since the case has been tried, then the king is also gone, send it to the palace for the emperor's royal trial as soon as possible, don't delay." β
It seems that there is no way to force Lan Yuqi to stay, Lan Hongzhuo hates in his heart, but he can only say: "Yes, Uncle Nine." β
Lan Yuqi left the Criminal Department with Lan Beichen, and only when he went outside did he thank Lan Beichen and leave quickly.
When he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Jinse had just left, Xia Yanxiu and the Zhao family were surprised and delighted when they saw Lan Yuqi coming, and hurriedly asked about the situation. Lan Yuqi said that the case had been roughly closed, and it had nothing to do with him, it was just a misunderstanding, and he was worried that Meng Yao would come to see it as soon as possible.
"That's great, it was a misunderstanding."
Xia Yanxiu was overjoyed, and he was worried that the Six Princes would be implicated in this case and affect him, now it's okay, everything is fine, and the family affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Six Princes' Mansion can finally reassure him.
"Sixth prince, Meng Yao was frightened, and when she came back, she fell ill and talked nonsense, or ...... When she is well, the sixth prince will go to see her again. Although Xia Yanxiu moved the six princes to visit Meng Yao, his daughter's situation made him worried, and he kept talking nonsense, saying that the six princes wanted to harm her, wouldn't it be bad for the six princes to hear about it?
"Meng Yao is really sick!"
Lan Yuqi was extremely anxious and begged: "No, Xia Xiang, Meng Yao is my fiancΓ©e, how can I know that she is sick and still don't visit her?" What's more, this matter is this
The prince caused it, and Xia Xiang will be accommodating, and it won't be delayed for long, I'm really worried about her......"
Xia Yanxiu hesitated, and finally said: "Then the six princes will go and have a look, but Meng Yao is talking nonsense......
"It's okay, I'll go see her."
After speaking, Lan Yuqi hurriedly walked inside, Xia Yanxiu saw his eager appearance, his heart was happy and worried, and he hurriedly asked his subordinates to lead the way.
When he arrived at the Wind Lotus Garden, as soon as Lan Yuqi entered, he saw Xia Mengyao, who was bedridden.
He stood at the door of the room and looked inside, distressed, and said sincerely to Xia Yanxiu and the Zhao family: "This prince wants to meet Meng Yao alone and apologize to her, if I hadn't taken her out of the city to the other garden yesterday, she wouldn't have been frightened by the wolf pet of Prince Aesop." It's all my fault, Xia Xiang, I have something I want to say to Meng Yao, I hope she can forgive me. β
Such a humble request from a prince really made the Zhao family have a lot of face, and she hurriedly said: "Sixth prince, thank you for your trouble, my lord and I are outside, you and Meng Yao can talk about anything, don't misunderstand." β
"Thank you Xia Xiang, thank you Madame." Lan Yuqi hurriedly went in.
Zhao was still standing at the door, wanting to hear what they had to say, but after Lan Yuqi entered, he sat in front of Meng Yao's bed, and his affectionate and distressed look was overflowing.
"Let's go, see what! Let the Six Princes and Meng Yao be alone for a while. Xia Yanxiu said in a deep voice and glared at Zhao.
I really don't know how to look at the occasion, my daughter and future son-in-law have to eavesdrop when they talk, and they don't have the upbringing of Mrs. Zuo Xiang at all, the more he looks at Zhao, the more unpleasant he becomes.
The two waited outside, and after a while, they heard an exclamation from inside, and Xia Mengyao was really startled again.
But neither Xia Yanxiu nor the Zhao family moved, one frowned and the other worried, but fortunately, there was no movement after only one sound came from inside, and they returned to quiet, as if Meng Yao had calmed down.
Zhao Shi worried: "Master, Meng Yao's matter is still unclear, if she really loses her innocence, will the six princes ......?"
