Chapter 263: Scapegoat
The news that Xie Zhuo was imprisoned by Emperor An He soon leaked out, and when Xie Shiyun was about to fall asleep, a spy came to report.
After hearing the ins and outs of this matter, Xie Shiyun frowned lightly, no matter how bad Xie Zhuo was, there was no reason to kill a child who had no grievances with him.
Sighing secretly, Xie Shiyun always felt that something was wrong, although Xie Zhuo didn't have much intersection with her, but the so-called enemy of the enemy was a friend, so she still decided to help Xie Zhuo.
What's more, she didn't believe that Xie Zhuo would be so stupid as to wantonly kill people and be discovered.
Of course, she did this not only for Xie Zhuo's party, but also for herself, if Xie Zhuo's party declined, wouldn't Xie Yuan have more energy to deal with herself?
Thinking of this, Xie Shiyun became even more determined to prove Xie Zhuo's innocence.
But it's getting late today, and no matter what you want to do, you'll have to wait until dawn to make plans.
That night, every man fell asleep with the thoughts of his heart.
Early the next morning, Xie Shiyun got up to change her clothes, planning to go to the prison to ask Xie Zhuo for clarification first.
In fact, I already learned about it from the spies last night, but in the end, I heard it from the mouths of others, and if we want to investigate this matter, we still have to learn from the mouths of the parties.
What a majestic place the Heavenly Prison is, even Princess An Chen can't come and go at will......
However, as the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, Xie Shiyun went to the criminal department first and found an old acquaintance.
"How is Lord Sun doing?" Xie Shiyun smiled softly, and there was no arrogance at all.
When Sun Zhao saw her, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, "See Princess An Chen." ”
Xie Shiyun nodded with satisfaction and raised her hand slightly: "Lord Sun, please get up, I came today because I want to trouble Lord Sun." Yan Yu frowned slightly, looking very distressed.
"Princess Anchen, please speak, the little one must be duty-bound." Sun Zhao was still hunched over after getting up, with a flattering smile on his face.
Xie Shiyun curled the corners of her lips when she heard this, and smiled, "Then thank you Lord Sun, do you know that I had an imperial brother who was sent to heaven by my father last night?" ”
Sun Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and his cold sweat was about to come down, but he still smiled flatteringly, "Princess Hui Anchen, the emperor did order the detention of a murderer last night......"
Xie Shiyun sneered in her heart when she heard this, this Sun Zhao is really a good person, this is like putting aside the relationship?
But she didn't care, after all, this is the palace, how many people can mix in this palace, how many of them are not deep?
"That's it, I wonder if Master Sun has a way for me to meet the emperor's brother?"
"This ......" Sun Zhao looked embarrassed.
Xie Shiyun had expected this, and glanced at the maid on the side, and the maid who didn't say a word presented a jade bracelet and handed it to Sun Zhao.
Sun Zhao looked at the jade bracelet and rolled his throat up and down, and his eyes were about to fall out......
"Lord Sun, a little caution is not a respect......" Xie Shiyun laughed harmlessly.
Sun Zhao took the jade bracelet, cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, Her Royal Highness the princess has a deep friendship with her brother, so care, how can the minister let the princess's heart go to waste......"
Xie Shiyun only squinted and smiled, and then followed Sun Zhao to the prison.
The people imprisoned here are all extremely vicious criminals, and the air is filled with a strong smell of blood.
Soon Sun Zhao took Xie Shiyun to the room where Xie Zhuo was being held, and in just one night, Xie Zhuo was no longer human, his hair was messy, and the clothes on his body were also messy.
After Sun Zhao opened the cell, he retreated very interestingly and let Xie Shiyun talk to Xie Zhuo alone.
Xie Zhuo raised his eyes to look at Xie Shiyun, his eyes were full of panic, and he shouted indiscriminately: "I didn't kill it!" I didn't kill people! ”
Xie Shiyun's eyes showed a little pity, and he couldn't see clearly in the night, and called: "Brother Huang, it's me." ”
Xie Zhuo slowly calmed down and looked at Xie Shiyun blankly.
"Brother Huang, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you, you just have to tell me what happened that night." Xie Shiyun comforted softly.
Xie Zhuo came back to his senses, and only then did he realize what Xie Shiyun had said, and hurriedly said it truthfully.
"I didn't go to have fun that night, who would have wanted to get drunk halfway through, and when I woke up, I saw a dead person next to me, Ning Anhou was yelling next to me, and I knew that the dead man was Ning Anhou's old man......"
Speaking of this, Xie Zhuo's eyes suddenly became cold, "I didn't kill the person, so naturally I won't admit my guilt, but who would have thought that that would frame me for killing someone!" But I have no grudge against him, so why should I kill him? ”
Xie Shiyun listened thoughtfully, and probably knew who did it, "Brother Huang, don't worry, if this is the case, I will definitely investigate this matter and clear your innocence!" ”
Xie Zhuo snorted, and repeatedly begged Xie Shiyun to save him out, he couldn't stay in this ghost place for a moment!
After Xie Shiyun came out of the prison, he planned to go to the oiran to interrogate, but when he heard Xie Zhuo say, he couldn't help but guess if Xie Yuan was deliberately retaliating.
When she rushed to the green building, she learned that Oiran had redeemed herself last night.
Xie Shiyun strengthened her conjecture even more, she took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and put it in front of the bustard, "Thank you, mother, but can I ask, do you know where the Oiran went after the redemption?" ”
The old bustard's eyes lit up when he saw Yinzi, and he hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "She said that she was going back to her hometown, but I don't know where her hometown is." ”
Xie Shiyun saw that she couldn't pry anything out of the old bustard's mouth, so she thanked her and left.
In the palace at this time, Ning Anhou made trouble again, with a handful of snot and tears, the emperor must give him an explanation!
Emperor An He was helpless in his heart, putting Xie Zhuo in the prison last night was already a trade-off, how could Ning Anhou, the old fox, not see it?
Unable to stand Ning Anhou's troubles, Emperor An He had no choice but to bring Xie Zhuo to trial.
"Press Xie Zhuo up."
Ning Anhou watched as the person who killed his own child was escorted up, but the emperor was on top, and he couldn't attack, so he could only stare at this culprit viciously.
An Hedi's face was serious, "Are you guilty?" ”
Xie Zhuo immediately knelt down when he heard this, but his back was straight, neither humble nor arrogant, "Father!" The child doesn't know! ”
"Presumptuous!" Seeing that Xie Zhuo didn't know the severity of the matter, Emperor An He couldn't help but be a little angry, "You are still justified in killing innocents indiscriminately?!" ”
"Father!" Xie Zhuo bit his lower lip when he heard this, but he still didn't admit his guilt, "Ning Anhou's son was not killed by his son!" Please Father, Emperor Mingjian! ”
Ning Anhou's eyes widened, he didn't expect Xie Zhuo to be so hard-mouthed, killing his child but not admitting his guilt, he was angry for a while, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
The people around hurriedly comforted Ning Anhou.
No one noticed that Xie Yuan, who was standing aside to listen to the trial, had a wrong face.
Xie Zhuo was imprisoned last night, and he guessed that his mother must have done it, and after the interrogation was over, he went to his mother to ask for an explanation.
Why is his mother so confused!
If his father knows the truth about this matter, then he and his mother will be finished!
So at this moment, he can only help Concubine Shu conceal it, hoping that Xie Zhuo can bear the charge and not make any mistakes.
