Chapter 432: Confession in the Temple

Xiao Ziteng said: "Aunt Huang, did that person say, who is the gold owner?" ”

Zhong Yuqi was silent for a while, and then looked at Zhang Sizhao with sharp eyes.

Everyone followed Zhong Yuqi's eyes, and the hall suddenly boiled.

In fact, many people understand what happened back then. It's just that Zhong Yuqi only pointed at Zhang Sizhao today, which really made them puzzled.

However, if you think about it, you know, how can this kind of thing be directly pointed at the current emperor?

Xiao Ziteng looked at Zhang Sizhao, who was expressionless, and said, "What does the imperial aunt mean...... Zhang Yushi? ”

Zhong Yuqi nodded and said, "Exactly!" At that time, Zhang Sizhao was only a member of the Imperial History Mansion, and he only held a grudge because he had a personal grudge with Zhong Yushi. Later, Zhang Sizhao's daughter, who is now Concubine Mu, was favored by the emperor and gave birth to three princes, so Zhang Sizhao had thoughts that he shouldn't have. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "At that time, the former prince was busy with disaster relief and mobilized the army privately. Zhang Sizhao saw the opportunity, found someone to copy the letter of plotting to rebel, and denounced Zhong Yushi. ”

Zhong Yuqi: "The first emperor was furious, and after some verification, he found some so-called evidence, but in fact, those were all Zhang Sizhao's handwriting. The first emperor was in a state of anger at that time, so he convicted the former prince and Zhong Yushi of conspiring to rebel, so that the former prince was executed, and Zhong Yushi was exterminated by the nine clans. How can such an unjust case not reach the heavens? ”

Zhong Yuqi pointed at Zhang Sizhao again and said: "Zhang Sizhao is a wolf with ambition, framing Zhongliang, framing the virtuous king, and killing so many innocent people, it is really an unforgivable crime!" Even God couldn't stand it, so he left some clues, so that the former prince Manmen and the nine clans of the Zhong family would have a day of grievances. ”

Xiao Ziteng said: "Aunt Huang, now just a letter and Aunt Huang's words are not enough to convict Zhang Yushi, please don't get excited." The nephew will definitely find out about this matter and give an explanation to the imperial aunt. ”

Subsequently, Xiao Ziteng said to Zhang Sizhao: "Zhang Yushi, what do you have to say?" If what Princess Rui said is true, as long as you confess your guilt, the prince can still be punished as appropriate. If Princess Rui wrongs you, the prince will punish Princess Rui's false accusation to restore your innocence. ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sizhao lowered his eyes and said, "Minister...... Plead guilty! ”

As soon as these words came out, the court exploded again.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Sizhao didn't even refute a word, and directly pleaded guilty? Or does Zhong Yuqi already have enough proof, Zhang Sizhao has no power to refute, so it is better to admit his guilt directly, so that Xiao Ziteng can be lightly punished?

Xiao Ziteng said again: "Zhang Yushi, this matter is very important, this prince hopes that you can think about it clearly and understand, and then answer this prince." Zhang Yushi, this prince asks you again, is this matter really as Princess Rui said? ”

Zhang Sizhao only said: "Yes! All of this was done by the minister! Princess Rui is also right, it was the ministers who hated Zhong Yushi, and for the sake of the future of Concubine Mu and the Zhang family, she framed the former prince and the Zhong family for plotting to rebel. ”

Xiao Ziteng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That being the case, Zhang Sizhao confessed his guilt in the palace, and someone came!" Put Zhang Sizhao on death row and wait for his fate! ”

A Praetorian Guard broke into the hall and took Zhang Sizhao away.

Zhang Sizhao didn't say a word more, nor did he have any expression, just let the Praetorian Guards drag him away.

There are still many discussions in the court, and some people know that this matter has nothing to do with Zhang Sizhao, but they also know that the real mastermind behind it is Xiao Yuhong. every day

Someone stood up and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, how can such a big matter be easily decided?" Now that only Princess Rui's words are based on the words of Princess Rui and a forged letter, how can Zhang Yushi be convicted? ”

The man said: "Since Princess Rui said that the letter can be forged, then who can guarantee that the letter in Princess Rui's hand is not forged?" Perhaps, the letter from ten years ago is genuine, and the letter in the hands of Princess Rui is a forgery. ”

Xiao Ziteng glanced at the man, and it turned out to be Jian Yihuai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Jian Yihuai and Zhang Sizhao got close, and now he doesn't feel strange when he speaks for Zhang Sizhao.

Xiao Ziteng said: "Jian Shangshu, Zhang Sizhao has confessed his guilt in front of the palace, do you still have questions?" ”

Jian Yihuai said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, even if Zhang Yushi confessed his guilt in person, the evidence was insufficient. It is also possible that Zhang Yushi was wronged, but he has something unspeakable. ”

Zhong Yuqi said to Jian Yihuai: "Jian Shangshu, this concubine knows that you and Zhang Sizhao are close on weekdays, and the relationship is also very good. But he won't tell you anything like that. If you feel that the evidence is insufficient, the concubine will ask someone to testify to the palace and confront you face to face. ”

Jian Yihuai said: "The witnesses found by Princess Rui, who can guarantee that what he said is true? If this is the case, no matter who chooses a random person to act as a witness, will not be able to prove guilt or innocence? ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "This concubine hasn't invited anyone to the palace yet, how do you know that what the person said is a lie?" Even if you want to favor Zhang Sizhao, you don't draw conclusions so arbitrarily. In addition, Concubine Ben also wants to remind you that if Zhang Sizhao is convicted of framing the prince and framing Zhongliang, as a fellow party, the Criminal Department will also investigate you! ”

Jian Yihuai was indignant and said, "Princess Rui's words are threatening the lower officials?" ”

Zhong Yuqi snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! Whether it's a threat or a fact, just invite someone to the temple to find out! ”

Xiao Ziteng said: "The witness is in the hall!" ”

Meng Guifu sang: "Xuan, the witness goes to the temple!" ”

The little eunuch guarding the door of the temple sang: "Xuan, witnesses go to the temple!" ”

Outside the hall gate, Xiao Yulin walked in with Fang Shengshou and a young man.

This teenager is the one who was caught by Zhong Yuqi for stealing things in the restaurant. His true identity is that he is a descendant of the Thief Shengshi family.

Back then, he ran away from home because of rebellion, and relied on his own skills to mix in the rivers and lakes, but the result was a mess, and he was taught a lesson by Zhong Yuqi. Moreover, the young man's identity was exposed because of this, and he was arrested by the people of the Shi family, which made the young man very unhappy.

I was thinking that after cultivating my skills, I would come to Zhong Yuqi to show my skills. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuqi became Princess Rui. And there are many masters in King Rui's mansion, where can he be allowed to climb over the wall and enter the hospital? Not only that, but he was also captured by the Shadow.

Originally, Jueying was going to kill him as an assassin, but the boy quickly reported his identity, and only then did he avoid death. Jueying is also concerned about the status of the Shi family in the rivers and lakes, so as not to bring trouble to Xiao Yulin.

After the boy returned home, he asked to practice martial arts, which surprised the head of the Shi family.

At the beginning, the teenager was lazy and didn't want to practice, so he ran away from home. Now, he actually opened his mind and took the initiative to ask to practice?
