Chapter 69: He Is the Mastermind (1)

Now that Wang Yaolin presented the twists and turns, Shunzi confessed that Wang Qian was not the mastermind behind the scenes, he was threatened by others, so he would bite Wang Qian, because the real mastermind behind the scenes threatened him with his sister's life, and he must be blamed on King Yu, but no one expected that Wang Qian would take on the responsibility in order to protect King Yu.

His Majesty closed the fold handed over by Wang Yaolin and asked in a cold voice, "Who is the real mastermind?" Also, How did you find out that Junko's confession was problematic? ”

Wang Yaolin replied respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister was also reminded by the crown princess. Speaking of this, he faced Han Jinxiu and thanked her.

His Majesty's eyes fluttered towards Han Jinxiu, and found that her face was calm, standing calmly, and she couldn't help blurting out, "How did the crown princess mention you?" ”

Not only is His Majesty curious, but even King Lu and King Zhan who is kneeling on the ground are also curious, and Han Jinxiu also intervened in this matter?

"Back to Your Majesty, the crown princess sent someone to send a message to the minister, asking the minister to carefully interrogate and interrogate Shunzi. said that if it was true that Wang Qian was behind the scenes, it was impossible for him to carelessly put those silver tickets into the account room for his stepmother Pan and sister Wang Yao. Of course, the minister was also suspicious of Wang Qian's statement, and in private, the minister also investigated Wang Qian, and also investigated his house, and found that there were no precious treasures in his house, which shows that there must be a cat in it.

The minister's thoughts coincided with the thoughts of the crown princess, so the minister went down to interrogate Shunzi, and learned from him that someone threatened him with the life of his long-lost sister, and he had to do things for him, or else, he would kill his sister, in addition, he framed Wang Qian and King Yu, and there would be other people. Wang Yaolin said slowly.

All this is someone who wants to frame King Yu and Wang Qian, His Majesty pinched the fold in his hand, and under his eyelids, he dared to calculate his son like this, and he knew that it was his other prince without guessing, excluding King Yu and the crown princess. Wang Yaolin mentioned that the crown princess mentioned him, which means that this matter must have nothing to do with the crown princess, that is one of King Lu and King Zhan.

It just so happened that King Lu and King Zhan were both here today, and His Majesty also ordered someone from the province to invite the two of them. Immediately afterwards, His Majesty looked at King Lu and King Zhan quietly, and asked, "Wang Yaolin, has Shunzi explained who instructed him behind his back?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the Chang Sui Shi Branch beside the scholar of Shi University." Wang Yaolin replied without hesitation.

Shi Dashi Shiyu, is he again? His Majesty bent his fingers and tapped on the table, raising his eyes to look at Han Jinxiu: "Crown Princess, in your opinion, how should I try it next?" ”

Glancing at King Zhan who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of Han Jinxiu's mouth raised slightly, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my daughter-in-law thinks that I might as well confront Chang Sui and Shunzi next to Scholar Shi, and of course you can also let Scholar Shi and Wang Qian listen behind the screen." It's just that this matter can't be reckless, so as not to startle the snake, which is the daughter-in-law's foolish opinion. ”

In front of His Majesty, it is naturally excellent. Wang Yaolin agreed, this is the best way, the reason why he came tonight is really pinching the time.

"King Zhan, what do you think?" His Majesty shifted his gaze to King Zhan who was kneeling on the ground, and there was a scandal between King Zhan and Shi Yuanyuan, the only daughter of Shi Yu, on the front foot, and there was a Shunzi retracting the confession on the back foot, pointing to Chang Sui next to Shi Yu, which inevitably made His Majesty guess.

Reason told King Zhan that he couldn't say half a word, but he blurted out unconsciously: "Father, it's not early today, it's still ······ tomorrow."

His Majesty interrupted with a raised hand: "Today, Wang Yaolin, you go to Dali Temple to bring Wang Qian and Shunzi." As for the stone fish, I am afraid that I want to invite the crown princess and King Lu to go, and I must let the stone fish and his constant come with the stone family, and do not alarm them. ”

did not dispatch the Jinyi guard, and let the crown princess and His Royal Highness King Lu go to Shifu together, but His Majesty thought of it, which was very good. Shi Yu was afraid that he would only think that it was the matter of King Zhan and Shi Yuanyuan tonight, since His Majesty had a life, the crown princess and King Lu gladly responded, and soon left the palace and went to Shifu.

However, Ah Yan ran to the prince out of breath and told all the news that had been discovered: "Your Highness, King Zhan and Miss Shi, the only daughter of Scholar Shi, slept together, and were discovered by Mrs. Lin and others, and in the end, it seems that King Zhan promised to marry Miss Shi, so he let Scholar Shi leave with his wife and daughter." Now His Majesty asked the crown princess and King Lu to invite Shi Daxue into the palace, I am afraid that they will discuss the marriage of King Zhan and Miss Shi. ”

It is also thanks to his cleverness and cleverness that he found out about these things for His Royal Highness, unlike Ah Jiu, who knows how to eat and drink all day long, and has not grown at all.

Bending his knuckles and tapping on the tabletop, the prince didn't make a sound, and only asked after a while: "But there are other people who have entered the palace to face the saint?" He always felt a little strange, his majesty should not be such a protective person, easy for people to hold the handle, there must be other strange things about this matter.

Ah Yan patted his head lightly and hurriedly spoke: "Your Highness, the slave remembered, Lord Qing of Dali Temple entered the palace to face the saint, not long after, but now it seems to be out of the palace." ”

Hearing this, a smile crossed the prince's eyes, and that was right. Father Emperor must have other things to see Shiyu, Wang Yaolin entered the palace in such a hurry so late, what can he do, it is nothing more than the imperial examination fraud case in his hands, the prince has not forgotten, there are two examiners for this year's examination, both of whom were hand-picked by His Majesty, one is Wang Qian, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites who has been imprisoned, and the other is Shi Yu, a scholar of Shi University, their Majesty is not simple, and he cannot be underestimated!

Then the prince instructed Ah Yan to send someone to keep an eye on the imperial study, and report immediately as soon as there was any trouble.

Shi Yu, who returned to the mansion, glanced at Shi Yuanyuan lightly and said, "What's going on tonight?" In front of the outside, the couple didn't persecute Shi Yuanyuan, but now that they have returned home, they should always tell them, let them know, and have the bottom of their hearts.

Shi Yuanyuan, who was crying with red eyes, raised her head, like a frightened rabbit, without saying a word.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shi was distressed, stretched out her hand to hold Shi Yuanyuan into her arms, patted her on the back, and comforted: "Okay, okay, let's just not ask." Master, the matter has come to this, why bother asking? In her opinion, even if she knew what was going on, what could she do to turn the situation around?

Stonefish: "·······" He couldn't ask, this Mrs. Shi is becoming more and more unreasonable, she is used to Shi Yuanyuan like this, and she may cause even more trouble in the future.

Holding his breath in his chest, the stone fish angrily shook his sleeve robe and left, seeing that it was not clear, he went back to the study to take a good rest, just thinking about today's events, and how to deal with it next. This girl is all about causing trouble for him, and in the end, he has to end up with this old bone, and I don't know what sins he did in his previous life, one is enough to have such a daughter, and a few more will not want his life.

Soon, Shi Yuanyuan stopped crying, and Mrs. Shi raised her hand to wipe her tears in distress, "Don't worry, with your mother here, your father doesn't dare to blame you." Next, you will wait for the scenery to marry the King of Zhan and become the Princess of Zhan. The mother knew that Yuanyuan was a good girl, and if anything happened in the future, she wrote to tell her mother. This is her only daughter, even if she is desperate, she has to help Shi Yuanyuan achieve her wish.

At this time, a maid walked in and said: "Madam, eldest girl, the lord has been invited into the palace by the crown princess and His Royal Highness King Lu, saying that His Majesty wants to see the lord." ”

Mrs. Shi frowned, she was invited to the palace so late, it was not because of the marriage between King Zhan and Shi Yuanyuan, His Majesty sent the crown princess and King Lu, it is conceivable that he attaches great importance to this family matter. With a joy in her heart, Mrs. Shi patted the back of Shi Yuanyuan's hand beside her and said, "Good boy, you wait." ”

Shi Yuanyuan bowed her head and got into Mrs. Shi's arms, her mother has been protecting her since she was a child, but whatever she wants, her mother will agree and do it for her, this is her good mother, she is really lucky to have such a mother.

The second princess held her breath and told Concubine Xu Hui about tonight, of course, she didn't hide it at all, and she didn't miss it when she pretended to have an unhealthy stomach and delayed the county lord Yonghe and Xu Zijiao. Finally finished speaking, the second princess hurriedly picked up the tea cup in her hand, and hurriedly raised her head and drank several sips, well, I was so thirsty and said so many words.

Concubine Xu Hui's apricot eyes were round: "You drink slowly, have you forgotten what your mother taught you on weekdays?" "The girl has to be reserved, pay attention to the etiquette, she is good, she forgot to go out of the palace.

Sticking out her tongue and spitting it out, the second princess put down the teacup in her hand and said guiltily: "Mother, I'm sorry, it's not that I'm too thirsty for a while, I forgot." I promise I won't forget it next time. Mother, what do you think is going on with this? Did King Zhan want to design the crown princess, but in the end he was designed by the crown princess? I always felt that something was faintly wrong, in front of Han Jinxiu, the second princess didn't ask the doubts in her heart, and when she returned to the palace to face Concubine Xu Hui, the second princess asked without hesitation.

Because the second princess knows that her mother will not leak out, she can keep her secrets for her, and she can also solve her doubts.

Concubine Xu Hui blinked and said, "You don't care about these things, even if you know the truth, what can you do?" All you need to do now is to hurry back to the dormitory and rest. ”

The expectations in her heart were disappointed, the second princess hung her head, stood up reluctantly, and said weakly: "I know, mother, then I will retire first, and the mother concubine will rest sooner." "Tonight's father must not be in the mood to go to the sleeping palace of any of the concubines.

Shi Yu was originally going to enter the palace alone, but King Lu suddenly pointed to Chang Sui Shi Ke beside him and said, "It's so late, Lord Shi should take him into the palace with him!" ”

What he said made Shi Yu suspicious, he looked at King Lu suspiciously, and found that King Lu had clear eyes, and he was afraid that he was worried about his safety, so he threw away the suspicions that should not be in his mind, and took Shi Ke to get into the carriage of the palace together.

Wang Yaolin took the first step to bring Wang Qian and Shunzi to the imperial study, His Majesty waved his hand, signaling Wang Yaolin to order someone to bring Wang Qian behind the screen, and plugged his mouth, His Majesty didn't want Wang Qian to spoil his good deeds. Junzi will take it down for the time being, and it will not be too late to invite in when the stone fish comes.

Soon, the crown princess and King Lu took Shiyu and Shike into the imperial study to greet His Majesty.

His Majesty said lightly: "All of them are exempt from courtesy, come and give a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Father."

Everyone sat down in turn, His Majesty glanced at King Zhan on the ground, and said coldly: "Shi Aiqing, what happened in Lin Cifu's mansion today, I should know that it is all this evil obstacle, doing cheap things, I have no way to teach my son, and I ask Shi Aiqing to bear with me." ”

I can't wait to strangle King Zhan who is kneeling on the ground, if His Majesty's eyes can kill people, King Zhan would have died thousands of times, this incomprehensible thing, actually dared to occupy the stone girl during Mrs. Lin's birthday banquet, and was caught in bed by everyone, wouldn't it be a loss of royal face. If it weren't for the lack of heirs under his knees, His Majesty would really want to expel King Zhan from the royal family, remove him from the family tree, and smear the royal family's face again.

"Your Majesty, there is only one daughter under the minister's knees, and I originally wanted to find a good husband for her from among the sons, who ever thought of such a thing, the minister is very sad." Shi Yu didn't give His Majesty face at all, but mentioned Shi Yuanyuan's marriage, his favorite son-in-law was still a scholar, not a powerful person.

Your Majesty: "······" Just said a few words to the stone fish, and he really climbed the high branches. Then His Majesty said coldly: "Shi Aiqing, I don't know something, why did the prisoners in the Dali Temple prison identify Chang Sui beside you?" "That's the main topic of today, it's just a greeting in front of you.

How is it possible that the prisoner in the prison of Dali Temple identified Chang Suishi Ke beside him? Shi Yu quickly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding in this, Shi Ke has followed the minister for many years, his temperament, the minister knows it very well, the minister can swear in the name of the minister, Shi Ke will never do anything evil, please Your Majesty will be aware of it, and return Shi Ke to a clean slate." ”

His Majesty said lightly, whether the crown princess and King Lu knew, as well as King Zhan who was kneeling on the ground, what kind of thoughts did he have, at this moment, it was not denied that Shi Yu was a little restless in his heart.

Wang Yaolin got His Majesty's signal to bring in the Shunzi in the hall next door and confront Shi Ke.

Junzi respectfully greeted His Majesty: "The villain participates in Your Majesty, long live long live long live." ”

"Junko, you raise your head and look at Shi Ke next to Shi Daxue, is it the person you want to identify?" His Majesty said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Shunzi quickly raised his eyes to look at Shi Ke, he excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi Ke, and said: "It's him, it's him, it's him who gave the answer to the test question to the villain, and used the villain's long-lost sister to blackmail the villain, and framed the matter to King Yu, please Your Majesty to investigate." "It's all at this time, and Shunzi can't care about anything, so he speaks out to identify Shike.

The fist under the sleeve of the stone fish was clenched tightly, this damn Shunzi, he was not in the prison of Dali Temple, he had already confessed, why did he still appear in the imperial study, what did Wang Yaolin say to His Majesty? At this moment, the stone fish told himself that he must be calm and not be careless.
