Chapter 505: Not agreeing to the marriage
Hou Zhongyi didn't know how much Gu Han already knew, if he thought about Zhou Xinzhi again, he would definitely not tell Gu Han everything, and Gu Han might not believe Zhou Xinzhi so much.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that he took every precaution and sent so many guards out to find Zhou Xinzhi, and Zhou Xinzhi finally fell into the hands of His Royal Highness King Rong.
What he was most afraid of at the beginning was that Zhou Xinzhi would shake out some evidence that was unfavorable to him, but now he didn't expect that what he thought would come true, this traitor actually shook out all the things he did, but fortunately, if he was careful, Zhou Xinzhi should not have much strong evidence in his hands, so there is no need to be afraid.
His Royal Highness King Rong, if he had all the evidence, he would not be interrogating himself here, and he should directly convict himself.
Thinking of this, Hou Zhongyi stabilized his mind and slowly spoke.
"Actually, Zhou Xinzhi has always liked my daughter, and then I knew about it, but I never agreed, I didn't expect that the two of them had no contact at home, but I knew about it again, so I sent a housekeeper to tell Zhou Xinzhi that I would not agree to their marriage, and persuade him to die of this heart as soon as possible!"
"But what I didn't expect was that he actually killed the housekeeper in a fit of anger, and even a few of the guards who went there lost their lives, and he has been with me for many years, but I have always regarded him as an orphan, and a child without a father and mother is quite pitiful, so I took him in."
"What I didn't expect now is that he will take revenge, I have given him food and flowers for so many years, and now he actually falsifies evidence to frame me."
"Isn't it because I don't agree with his marriage to my daughter? Even if he framed me like this, I still wouldn't agree to the marriage of the two of them. “
"Lord Wang, this must be that Zhou Xinzhi is framing me, all these evidences are forged by him, these are all fake, none of them are true, Xia Guan has never had the intention of rebelling."
Hearing this, Gu Han glanced at the evidence in his hand.
"You haven't even looked at what is written in it, how can you say that all this evidence is fake?"
Hou Zhongyi's righteous words spoke.
"I've never done any of these things, and of course they're all fake."
Gu Han smiled.
"You're so sure that you haven't done anything, and you look at the evidence, if you haven't done it, why do you leave this evidence? In addition to this evidence, you look below. ”
"Over the years, you have a lot of accounts flowing in your hands, where have millions of taels of silver gone, how can these accounts not match at all? And where have these twenty or so blacksmiths gone? Why are all these people gone? ”
"These people disappeared suddenly, didn't you, as the parent official of Jiangnan, investigate? What are your findings? Why haven't I seen your findings? ”
"I guess you killed all these people, after you used them, you took the lives of all of them, in order not to leave any evidence, you even killed the guards around you, but it's a pity that you still left some evidence."
"You know very well that one of these people is a person who knows how to do tricks, and you have been guarding against what evidence he left behind, but it's a pity that he still left evidence."
Gu Han picked up a piece of clothing, this dress was different from other clothes, it was densely written inside, and the color of the font was a little retreating, but it could be seen that it was just a word written in blood, because it had been kept for too long, the font on it had been blackened, and there was no need to get closer, you could smell a smell of blood.
Hou Zhongyi didn't know what evidence had fallen into Gu Han's hands, at the beginning, he had been guarding against more than 20 people, who left evidence, but he still had no rent in the end, and one person was still left evidence by the other party.
He also knew that the other party had left evidence against him, and he had been sending people to look for him for so many years, but he had not found it after searching for so many years, but he knew that there was only one person who could solve this mystery, and that person was Chang Shixiong.
So since Chang Shixiong came back, he sent someone to follow him, sure enough, Chang Shixiong found a box from the cemetery, he was afraid that people didn't grab it back when they went to rob it, and after the mission failed, he was very worried that this matter would happen, but then he thought about it, there was no definite evidence at all, as long as he didn't admit it, there was no possibility of conviction.
At the moment, Hou Zhongyi spoke calmly.
"Lord Wang, I've never seen this dress, and I don't know what is written on it, but it looks like the time has not been short, and the color has become so ugly."
"At the beginning, the matter of more than 20 blacksmiths, Weichen has already investigated that these people died because of illness, and at that time, not only these 20 blacksmiths died, but many people also died, many people know about this matter, if His Royal Highness King Rong doesn't believe it, you can investigate."
"Just ask the people of the future."
Gu Han's face suddenly turned cold, he didn't expect that in the face of this evidence, the other party refused to admit it, and he didn't have any remorse at all.
"There is such an obvious smell of blood on this, except for people with major grievances, who will write blood letters."
Hou Zhongyi didn't think so, but he hated it to death in his heart, that old thing was dead, and it would bring him trouble, if he knew that he would be so good at causing trouble, he shouldn't have let him die so happily in the first place.
"Lord Wang, I don't know what's going on here, even if there is a grievance, it has nothing to do with me."
Hou Zhongyi didn't admit it at all, this matter had something to do with him, and he knew that as long as he admitted it, he would be finished.
When Gu Han heard this, he directly threw the clothes in his hand on Hou Zhongyi's face.
"This king, I really haven't seen a brazen person like you, look at the evidence in your hand, and then tell this king, you are wronged!"
"You said that the blacksmith was infected with the plague and died, why did this king investigate, and the results are different from what you said?"
"And what's going on with those weapons? Are you a governor who needs to craft so many weapons? With so many weapons in private, why don't you want to rebel? ”
Hou Zhongyi did not admit it.
"Lord Wang, Weichen has never built a weapon, and this matter is all slandered by Zhou Xinzhi."
Slander?
"You keep saying that this evidence is slander, have you read it carefully? If you don't look carefully, then you will be convicted of rebellion, and the king will directly send someone to escort you back to Beijing. ”
Hou Zhongyi's face suddenly turned to the side, and he hurriedly looked at the evidence in his hand, looking at the things he had done one by one, his face instantly became ugly, there were some things in it, that is, Zhou Xinzhi did not necessarily know, but now all of them are listed on it, which shows that His Royal Highness King Rong has investigated it clearly before.
Therefore, His Royal Highness King Rong did not rely on a little evidence in his hand to arrest himself at all, but investigated these things clearly, so he came to arrest himself In the face of these events and evidence, Hou Zhongyi was speechless.
"It turns out that His Royal Highness King Rong has already investigated, just waiting for me to jump into it by myself, but I don't know it myself, I thought I was careful enough to do it, and there was no evidence left, but now I look at it, everything has been investigated so clearly by you."
Hou Zhongyi couldn't figure out where he left so much evidence, how His Royal Highness King Rong investigated it, and when he saw this evidence, he could see how terrible His Royal Highness King Rong's methods were.
"Since His Royal Highness King Rong already has so much evidence in his hands, I won't say anything more, but I can't help but want to ask more, where did all this evidence come from?"
These evidences are definitely not only given by Zhou Xinzhi, there are some things in it that the housekeeper doesn't know, and only he knows about things that have been investigated.
The power of His Royal Highness King Rong is chilling and terrifying.
Gu Han waved his hand.
"You don't have to worry about how this king investigated this matter, your charge of rebellion has been established, and this evidence will be escorted to the capital with you, and the emperor will personally send it."
"As for the person behind you, this king will not let him go, sooner or later, this king will personally find out this person."
Hou Zhongyi's face changed, and then he felt that there was no big deal, His Royal Highness King Rong had investigated his own affairs so clearly, and the information of the person behind it should not be hidden for long.
Hou Zhongyi's face was defeated.
Hou Zhongyi's matter, this can be regarded as settled, as for the matter of 100,000 taels of silver, a message has also been sent that the other party does not have 100,000 taels of silver, and does not want Zhou Xinzhi's life.
The people in the rivers and lakes are very angry, 100,000 taels of silver say that there is no more, isn't this a lie? It's just that the other party doesn't want Zhou Xinzhi's life, so they naturally don't have to track down Zhou Xinzhi's whereabouts.
As for the matter of six lives, it has also proved Zhou Xinzhi's innocence, the housekeeper went to Zhou Xinzhi to drink with poisoned wine, Zhou Xinzhi didn't kill a few of them at all, but just replaced the wine in their cups with the poisonous wine brought by the housekeeper, so the death of these people can only be said to be self-defeating, and it has nothing to do with Zhou Xin.
After Hou Xinxin knew that her father was convicted, she was deeply shocked, the Hou family had been sealed, and Hou Xinxin was no longer a daughter, just a daughter of a rebellious minister.
The maid and the servant were dismissed, Hou Xinxin had never encountered such a thing and time, she didn't know what to do, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she had nothing.
