Chapter 281: Concubine Wu is finished
Concubine Wu's face changed greatly after seeing the letter, and she became even more annoyed and angry after listening to Yu Zhi's words.
"You're bold!"
Xiulan covered her son's mouth and protected her son.
Concubine Wu gritted her teeth and bent down to pick up the letter, with an expression on her face that she wanted to tear up the letter on the spot. Ling Feng picked up the letter first and handed it over to the dragon case. Cheng Zirui put his hand on the envelope, as if he wanted to open it, but it didn't seem to mean anything at all. Concubine Wu was frightened, and her mind was in chaos.
"Let's talk about the case first."
Zhuyun spoke at the right time, and turned the matter to this case: "Jing Zhaoyin has been an official for four years, and I heard that his political achievements are good, and it is rumored that Lord Jing Zhaoyin is very popular with the people. Xiulan, do you identify and identify the person who kicked you out of the capital in the first place, and our Lord Jing Zhaoyin, who is supported by the people, is the same person? ”
With just one glance, Xiulan recognized Jing Zhaoyin, and the resentment in her heart made her not care about what the hell this was, and said loudly: "It's him!" On that day, he personally blocked the gate of Jingzhao Mansion and asked someone to drive me and my father out of the capital! ”
"The man who went to your house, but he took the lead?"
Xiulan shook her head, "No, although they were all from the government that day, they were all wearing ordinary clothes." But that deputy official tone, anyone who listens to it will think that this is the official person. ”
As soon as he said this, Jing Zhaoyin laughed. "The world is so big, and there are more people pretending, does the person who talks like this have to be from the government?"
Xiulan's ears burned immediately, she really didn't have any direct evidence, but those people at that time were obviously official!
"How did people talk at that time, you get up and learn from this palace."
As soon as Zhuyun's words fell, Yu Zhi stood up suddenly. Xiulan was so frightened that she couldn't pull him. The little guy put on a posture, glared at everyone angrily, with a precise emphasis, and the appearance of pretense perfectly reproduced the situation of the day.
A certain action of Yu Zhi made everyone secretly surprised.
Bang!
Cheng Zirui threw the jade platform in his hand directly at the feet of Jing Zhaoyin. "The world is so big, and there are more people pretending. Then Jing Zhaoyin, tell me, who did he learn this move from? ”
In order to distinguish it from the general government, the officers of the Great Chongjing Zhaofu have devoted themselves to service. Not only must the waist card of Jingzhao Mansion be hung, but it is always customary to reveal the waist card first in case of trouble. Yu Zhi's nihilistic action just now was simply a small action that he had learned to be a poor servant. Just based on such an action, it was determined that the person of the day was Jing Zhaoyin's person!
Jing Zhao Yin fell to his knees, unable to explain at all. "At that time, it was Lord Wu who begged me to come here, and I ...... The emperor spares his life"
"Spare your dog's life, and then let you ignore people's lives and derelict your duties......" Cheng Zirui was annoyed by these people's anger all day as if he had found a cathartic point, and he slapped the dragon case in front of him with a shocking sound, and lost his temper.
The courtiers were terrified when they heard this, but Xiulan's mother and son were excited.
This is the Son of Heaven! This is the Emperor! The Emperor spoke! The emperor spoke for the people!
Cheng Zirui cut off Jing Zhaoyin's head and ordered a thorough investigation of Jing Zhaoyin's unjust case of dereliction of duty in the past four years in office. After that, his sharp eyes, which seemed to be able to perceive everything, suddenly looked at Concubine Wu, who was pale and ugly, and asked, "Concubine Wu, what else do you have to say to Concubine Yu and Shen's husband?" ”
Mrs. Wu's heart was beating wildly, and she didn't dare to say a word, but Concubine Wu was a little bolder because she was a concubine. "Your Majesty, the concubines and concubines have always supported each other since they entered the palace, and they are naturally defenseless when they speak. Concubine Yu was beaten into the cold palace, but the concubine was favored by the emperor. Concubine Yu must be jealous, so she has to pull the concubine into the water. ”
"Then how does Concubine Wu explain why Concubine Yu, who is in the cold palace, has a sharp dagger and a beast trap smeared with poison?"
Zhuyun's cold voice shocked Concubine Wu, she was annoyed and angry, and almost shouted this sentence: "How do I know!" ”
Concubine Wu knew that she was out of shape, and said in a soft tone: "Regarding the incident on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the concubine was really just passing by. As for why Shen's husband was beaten to death, the concubine really doesn't know! At that time, he suddenly rolled off the slope, disturbing the horse in front of him, and the concubine couldn't sit steadily and fell out of the carriage directly......
The more Concubine Wu said, the more it looked like this, and she suddenly felt a little more confident. "Your Majesty, the concubines really didn't know about it at that time! This is going to be the first month, and the New Year is coming soon, how could a concubine commit such a thing that makes people ruined, and white-haired people send black-haired people. ”
Zhuyun sneered, and his family was ruined. Concubine Wu's sentence not only pleaded for herself, but also pointed out that she killed Hou Jinyu and asked Lord Hou to send the black-haired person.
Sure enough, as soon as this remark came out, some people immediately echoed it, which probably meant that the blame was put on the Hou Mansion's family.
"It seems that your lords not only know a lot about my harem, but also about things outside the capital, and not only that, but even the events of two years ago are as if you saw them with your own eyes."
Cheng Zirui's last sentence was very heavy, and the people who echoed the momentum just now were suddenly stunned.
"Your Excellency shares the emperor's worries, this is the blessing of great worship. In the future, if there is something unclear, you can call these adults over and ask. Zhuyun's words were full of sarcasm, "But what the concubine heard was not like this." The concubine found a witness, who was present at the time. This is what he told Tian'er when he left the palace. Speaking of Tian'er...... Zhu Yun looked at Concubine Wu meaningfully and said, "Could it be that she was killed by Concubine Yu because she knew about it?" After all, Concubine Yu and Concubine Wu entered the palace together and supported each other......"
"Concubine Yun, what are you talking nonsense!" Concubine Wu was anxious, and she had long lost her virtuous and gentle appearance.
"This is what you just said personally, why did you rely on this palace again?"
"That's enough." Cheng Zirui gradually lost his patience, "Who is your witness?" ”
Zhuyun smiled, "It was the coachman of Concubine Wu's carriage that day, Deng Yanliang." ”
Hearing this name, the faces of the two fathers and daughters of the Wu family suddenly changed drastically. A discerning person can tell at a glance that there is definitely something wrong with this.
"Bring it on." Cheng Zirui was drunk last night and still had a headache, and after such a long delay at this time, he had already lost his energy. As if he had just noticed the letter from his subordinates, he glanced coldly at the panicked Wu family father and daughter, and picked up the letter.
"Your Majesty!"
Concubine Wu's face was pale and bloodless, and she bit the corner of her lip tightly, eager to go up and snatch the letter.
Cheng Zirui opened the letter unhurriedly, and his face darkened as soon as he read two lines. Concubine Wu knelt down on her knees, and she didn't even dare to sit down with Mrs. Wu, so she knelt down with her daughter.
"Mrs. Wu, it's the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Concubine Wu has been away from Beijing for so many days, what did she do?"
"At that time, Niangniang went to Lingshan Temple outside the capital to burn incense and pray for my wife, and I went for more than ten days. On the twenty-ninth day, I happened to come back and encountered this incident......"
Cheng Zirui shook his head, pinched the piece of paper that was also stained with blood and ink, and raised it twice.
"Concubine Wu, you tell me, what is this thing?"
Concubine Wu was just about to open her mouth to defend herself, but she saw Cheng Zirui directly throw the piece of paper on Gonggong Fu's body. "It's just that Concubine Wu doesn't know, but Mrs. Wu must know. It's just that Mrs. Wu is a little old, and she has a lot of opportunities, so I'm afraid I can't remember it for a while. Father-in-law Fu, you take it to Mrs. Wu to see if he can remember. ”
Gonggong Fu sent the things to Mrs. Wu's hands, Mrs. Wu only glanced at it, and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Concubine Wu.
Everyone was stunned, Mrs. Wu was bold, although she was her own daughter, she was a harem concubine and a mother, and his slap was terrible!
Concubine Wu didn't expect that she would be beaten by her father at this time, isn't this just a confirmation of what she said in the letter that she had a private meeting with others......
Concubine Wu had the courage to look up, and just after touching Cheng Zirui's cold and angry gaze, she lowered her head again, only to feel a chill on the soles of her feet.
This is the face of the royal family, and it is really difficult to say anything in front of so many people at this time. But everyone knows that Concubine Wu is over this time.
