Chapter Thirty-Eight - A Great Shock in the Heart

But on the other side, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zuo Yuanze was also shocked when he heard about it.

When he heard that Shi Rong went to the princess's mansion alone, he really wanted to assassinate him again when he was unprepared.

But the problem is that although he gave Xiang Jian some news, he didn't let him lead the troops.

The most suspicious thing is that the assassins sent by him have not yet arrived at the General's Mansion, and the incident has already happened there...

Or... Even though he Zuo Yuanze dared to send someone to assassinate Shi Rong, who was being proud.

I never dared to kill Lin Lu's son to frame and frame him.

But if others don't say it now, Xiang Jian's heart will definitely think that this is what he did.

Now that he has gone to Jinyiwei, I don't know if he will confess what he knows.

In that case, all the evidence will point to you, and you will not be wronged.

What's more, at this juncture, the eldest prince Sheng Tianyun has already sent someone to rob the grain cart escorted by the Privy Council to the disaster area.

Although this time Beiyankeng had enough to eat a pot, Zuo Yuanze did not have any pleasure at the moment.

Shi Yu went to the East Factory with everyone.

The East Factory is heavily guarded and deserted, and even occasionally smells blood.

Yi Zhengqing was polite to them, and even treated Shi Yu, a suspect, with three points of courtesy.

He sat down on the front seat and raised his hand slightly towards the three of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take your seats first."

Yi Zhengqing watched them all sit down in turn, and continued to speak unhurriedly.

"Please all the adults present, one by one to state what they have done today, Lin Yushi mainly talks about Lin Yang's deeds before his death today, and this official has his own judgment on the case."

Lin Lu looked at Jianhe and Shi Yu who were not ready to make a sound, so he bowed his hand slightly towards Yi Zhengqing and said.

"Early this morning, after I got off the morning court, I first went to the Zhongshu Hall to sort out the affairs with Zuo Xiang, and then returned to the mansion, my son Lin Yang finished lunch after I returned to the house, and prepared a congratulatory gift to the general's mansion with me, and went out of the mansion at the time of the appointment."

Yi Zhengqing nodded slightly contemplatively, his eyes looking at Xiang Jian.

"Lord Shangshu, as the person who was present at the time of the crime, what did you see tonight? And also... Why did you take your guards to the General's Mansion in the middle of the night? ”

Xiang Jian thought that Yi Zhengqing would be the last to ask himself, but now he suddenly asked, almost leaving behind the excuse he had just thought of.

He arched his hand and said.

"Today, I am having dinner with a friend in the Burning Banquet Pavilion, there has been a lot of turmoil in the capital recently, to put it bluntly, as a Shangshuling is unarmed, if you want to travel at night, you naturally need to bring more guards by your side to save your life."

Xiang Jian scratched his head and continued.

"When I finished eating with my friends, it was already approaching, I packed up and prepared to go back to the house, I heard someone under the window swords and talking, the banquet pavilion and the general's mansion were only separated by a street, the night was dark and I couldn't see clearly, only heard the faint voice of the commander, the commander was the quasi-concubine when he was killed, I thought about taking the guards to help, but as soon as I went downstairs and approached, I happened to see the sword of the commander of the time against the body of Lin Yang, who had died."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but wipe the thin sweat on his forehead.

Yi Zhengqing frowned slightly.

"Dare to ask Xiang Shangshu, which friend are you dining with?"

Xiang Jian was stunned for a moment, turned his eyes to look at Lin Lu, and then said with some embarrassment.

"Naturally, it's with Zuo Xiang."

Between them, there are naturally internal gangs and factions, and he is attached to Zuo Xiang's subordinates.

Lin Yushi's status in the Zhongshu faction is second only to Zuo Yuanze, but he himself is an upright elm character, so if they have any plans in private, they will naturally not bring Lin Lu.

Lin Lu's eyes didn't look at Jian at all, he knew a lot about this kind of cross-level reunion, and he often scoffed at them.

Yi Zhengqing bowed his head lightly, roughly wrote down the experience in his heart, and then looked at Shi Yu.

"When you're tired, tell me what you've done today?"

Shi Yu nodded slightly, and was about to speak, when a person walked in from the door of the lobby, wrapped in a white plain robe, and bowed towards Yi Zhengqing.

"Commander Shi, wait."

He hooked his hand at the man, who leaned close to him, bent down and whispered in his ear.

"My lord, Lin Yang's corpse was killed when he was in You, and the knife wound in the neck was fatal."

That person was the person who conducted the autopsy in the East Factory, Yi Zhengqing hooked his lips slightly when he heard this, and then nodded.

"This official already knows, go, Commander Shi, please."

He raised his hand towards Shi Yu again.

Shi Yu nodded and was ready to speak again.

"After today's next dynasty, I handled government affairs in the army, and the princess went back to the general's mansion with me, and the general and his wife discussed the details of the wedding in the future, and after the discussion, the princess returned to the princess's mansion, and there were many things in the palace, so I entered the palace again and arranged for the royal forest army on duty today to patrol, and these palace entries and exits are recorded."

He looked directly into Yi Zhengqing's eyes and continued.

"Then, I went back to the house to rest, not long after dinner, the princess's house people came to spread the princess's illness, I went straight to the princess's house, the moment I came back, I met the assassin ambush, fought a few rounds, he gradually lost under me, and then another person, against the black cloth wrapped in things, thrown in front of me, I just used the sword to pick open the black cloth head, before I saw what was inside, Shangshu Lord came with a soldier, shouted, I murdered the son of the court official."

Shi Yu explained everything clearly and thoroughly, and his expression did not lie at all.

Yi Zhengqing raised his eyebrows.

"When you are unitary, where is the time leader?"

He sat up straight and forward, his eyes fixed on Shi Yu's eyes.

Shi Yu's eyes dodged slightly, and the moment of the hour was when he was looking for warmth in the Yansu Pavilion.

He settled down and said in a deep voice.

"I'll rest in the house."

"Really?"

Yi Zhengqing snorted lightly and shouted out of the lobby.

"Pull it up!"

Then I saw two brocade guards dragging a bloodstained and dying man in their hands.

Even the bloodstains covered up his original face could not be seen clearly, such a gesture was obviously tortured.

"Say!"

The brocade guard next to him kicked him where he was injured.

The man trembled suddenly, leaned over and trembled softly.

"Unitary time... The commander of Youshi changed clothes with Jincheng from time to time, and walked out of the back door of the house wearing a hat..."

"Commander Shi, this is a subordinate in your courtyard, say! Where the hell have you been?! Did you take this opportunity to kill Lin Yang with that Jincheng?!"

Yi Zhengqing is worthy of being a veteran of many years of trial cases, and this aggressiveness made even Shi Yu's heart suddenly feel slightly confused.

What the man said was correct, it seemed that when he traveled with Jincheng, he really saw it in his eyes.

Yes, Jinyiwei is the only place in the court that is above the hundred officials and directly under the emperor's judgment.

In the past, it was not an exaggeration to arrest court officials and punish them to extract confessions, let alone torture a small subordinate to speak out.
