Chapter 433: Sin on Sin
Under the questioning of the head of the family at the time, the young man told the truth. And when Princess Rui was mentioned, the head of the Shi family thought about it again.
It turned out that the head of the Shi family was a friend of Fang Shengshou. Fang Shengshou handed over one of the forged letters to the head of the Shi family for safekeeping.
After learning that Zhong Yuqi had become Princess Rui, the head of the Shi family found Fang Shengshou and asked about the former prince. Fang Shengshou told the head of the Shi family that Zhong Yuqi was ready to rehabilitate the former prince. The head of the Shi family returned the forged letter to Fang Shengshou.
There were three forged letters, one in the file of the Criminal Department; One copy has been handed over to the Empress Dowager Zhao by Xiao Yulin, and the Empress Dowager Zhao kept an eye on it at the time and did not return it to Xiao Yulin; There is also a copy in the hands of the head of the Shi family.
Fang Shengshou came to King Rui's Mansion by giving Xiao Shizi a 100-day banquet and asked Zhong Yuqi about his plans, but he didn't mention the forged letter at that time.
When Xiao Yulin was twentieth birthday, Fang Shengshou lived in the Rui Wang's Mansion. When several people were discussing things, they learned that the forged letter was already in the hands of the Empress Dowager Zhao. It was also thanks to the head of the Shi family who returned another forged letter to him, otherwise it would have been a bad thing.
The family members of the Shi family received news that after Xiao Yulin entered the palace, he was imprisoned by Xiao Yuhong, presumably because of the overturning of the case. So, the head of the Shi family also came to Shengjing, observing the dynamics, and he would help when necessary.
The boy from the Shi family also followed, and when he knew that Zhang Sizhao and Jian Yihuai were close, and Zhang Sizhao was the protagonist of this incident, he wanted to find some additional flaws in them.
When Jian Yihuai came to the Imperial History Mansion to find Zhang Sizhao, the Shi family boy climbed over the wall and entered the hospital and eavesdropped on the two of them.
It is precisely because Zhang Sizhao did not dare to be too extravagant in order to avoid suspicion, and there were not many guards in the mansion, that the boy of the Shi family came and went freely in the Imperial History Mansion.
Sure enough, when the boy from the Shi family heard that the two people were plotting to embezzle public funds, Jian Yihuai also stuffed a few silver tickets to Zhang Sizhao. After Jian Yihuai left, the boy of the Shi family watched Zhang Sizhao hide the silver ticket in the dark compartment behind the painting.
This Si Zhao looks calm and honest on his face, it's just for others to see! As a father who is a favorite concubine, in the midst of many touts, where can he be alone? The eyes are gradually blinded by money, but they are extremely hidden.
Zhang Sizhao did not dare to be extravagant outside, and only put some treasures in the study and bedroom to satisfy his vanity. There are also many silver tickets, and he does not dare to enter them, only hiding them in the secret grid.
It's no wonder that Jian Yihuai wants to help Zhang Sizhao speak, what if Zhang Sizhao is convicted of capital crime and involves him out? At least he spoke for Zhang Sizhao, and maybe Zhang Sizhao could still look at this situation and remain silent.
After all, no one was investigating his corruption at this time.
The boy of the Shi family told the news to the head of the Shi family, and the head of the Shi family went to the Rui Wangfu to find Zhong Yuqi.
However, the people in Rui Wangfu told the head of the Shi family that Zhong Yuqi had entered the palace.
Just when the family was in a hurry, Xiao Yulin walked out with Fang Sheng's hand. Fang Shengshou recognized the head of the Shi family at a glance, and then introduced him to Xiao Yulin.
The head of the Shi family invited Xiao Yulin aside again and told him about it.
When Xiao Yulin heard it, he was quite surprised, but it was also expected.
Zhang Sizhao is a little unclean, he has heard of it. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Zhang Sizhao was so greedy and still colluded with Jian Yihuai.
However, even if this crime is convicted, it is more trivial than the crime of framing the prince and framing Zhongliang. It's just that let Zhang Sizhao add guilt to crime, so that others can know that Zhang Sizhao is not a good stubble.
Therefore, Xiao Yulin invited the head of the Shi family to visit the palace to testify against Zhang Sizhao's corruption crime.
However, the head of the Shi family refused.
He said that there were rules in the ancestors of the Shi family, and the people in charge of the Shi family were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court. Now it's for the sake of a friend, so he came to watch. Since there are new clues, I will inform the Rui Wangfu.
The boy of the Shi family is a junior, and he is not the person in charge of the Shi family, so the head of the Shi family let the boy of the Shi family follow Xiao Yulin into the palace.
When everyone saw Xiao Yulin coming to the palace at this time, they were still a little puzzled.
Princess Rui went to the palace in person to avenge her grievances, but Prince Rui, who doted on Princess Rui, didn't show up? It turned out that Xiao Yulin was waiting outside.
Everyone also understands that Xiao Yulin is bringing extremely important witnesses, and if the witnesses are missing, they are afraid that things will change, so Xiao Yulin personally accompanied the witnesses.
When Xiao Ziteng saw Xiao Yulin, he couldn't help but stand up and salute him.
"Uncle Huang!"
Xiao Yulin hurriedly raised his sleeves and stopped: "Now that the prince is sitting on the throne, there is only the gift of the monarch and the minister!" ”
After speaking, Xiao Yulin bowed his hand to Xiao Ziteng and said, "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
scared Xiao Ziteng a little at a loss.
Usually he had to salute when he saw Xiao Yulin, but now that Xiao Yulin took the initiative to salute him, he was a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Ziteng hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be polite! Even if the crown prince sits on the throne, the imperial uncle can be exempted from the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. ”
Xiao Yulin didn't talk nonsense, and then said: "Prince, this king knows that the case of the former prince is serious, and just relying on the princess's rhetoric and forged letters is not enough to convince the public, this king brought witnesses over." ”
Afterwards, Xiao Yulin pointed to Fang Shengshou and said, "This is the famous Fang Shengshou on the rivers and lakes. ”
When everyone heard this, they were quite surprised and began to talk about it.
"Didn't Fang Shengshou die a long time ago? How to ......"
"That's right! I heard that he offended the enemy family, and was wiped out by the enemy, and even those who knew him well were not spared. ”
"Perhaps, Fang Shengshou's life should not be extinguished?"
Some people knew the inside story, and they had long guessed that Xiao Yuhong did it, so they were silent at this time.
Fang Shengshou said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, the contemptible person is what the Jianghu people call Fang Shengshou. The one who died back then was the fake Fang Shengshou. He deceived everywhere in the name of despicable people, but he didn't expect that he would harm himself and his own family. ”
Xiao Ziteng said: "Mr. Fang, this prince would like to ask you, that forged letter framing the former prince and Zhong Yushi, but you wrote it?" Or, was it written by the fake Fang Shengshou who died? ”
Fang Shengshou said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the letter was written by the fake Fang Shengshou to force the contemptible people. However, the despicable cannot escape responsibility. For so many years, the contemptible people have been living in remorse, and they just want to avenge the former prince and the Zhong family. Even if he dies, he has no regrets. ”
