Chapter 674: An Explanation
"Your Majesty, this thing is strange."
Although Cheng Ziyu didn't know how to get rid of it, she had to explain.
"My grandfather and I are not in Jingxi Cheng's house, there is no helmsman there, who dares to collaborate with the enemy? Who has the ability to collaborate with the enemy? I believe that there must be something in it that has been overlooked, the Cheng family must have been calculated, and I am willing to cooperate with the investigation, but the Cheng family ......"
"The maidens knock to the saint." A soft and cringing voice sounded behind him, interrupting Cheng Ziyu.
The voice is familiar, it's her! Cheng Ziyu didn't need to look back to identify it.
And when she turned around and saw a face as familiar as the voice, her head buzzed.
It's a book of knowledge!
"Knowledge?" She couldn't help but ask, and carefully looked people up and down several times.
"Why are you here? Something happened to the Cheng family? When are you ...... Entering Beijing? Who are you led by...... Enter...... Kyo's? ......" Cheng Ziyu's speed of speech was originally fast due to impatience, but after two sentences, it slowed down suddenly.
Her instinctive reaction was that something had happened to the Cheng family.
But, no!
No!
Zhishu knelt here, and was allowed to kneel at the door of the imperial study, does it mean that she is the human witness in the "conclusive evidence" that the courtiers just said? Yes, the emperor gave her physical evidence and informed her that there were eyewitnesses, how could there be no witnesses?
If she wasn't a witness, how could she have traveled thousands of miles before she had never even been to the capital?
Cheng Ziyu almost understood.
Knowledge!
It's her!
She's the inner ghost!
She is here to testify against herself, Zhu Changzhe and Kang Anbo, the one who wants to push the Cheng family to the point where she will never recover!
In the previous life, it was Jin Yu, and in this life it is her!
Have you been blind in your past and present lives?
But this is the book......
It is clear that he is one of the people he has made up his mind to protect in this life!
He is one of the people he has unconditionally trusted in his past and present lives!
He is one of the people who swore that he would make a good life just like he did in the painting!
It turned out that she thought she was working so hard to prevent it, but there were still white-eyed wolves around her!
What an irony!
So, did Zhishu turn against him in his previous life, or did he betray him in this life?
Cheng Ziyu's temples jumped suddenly, and her memories switched back and forth between her past and present lives. She thought of so many possibilities that she was afraid.
If Zhishu is the inner ghost, then in addition to the current situation, there are also gentle illnesses, and the affairs of the third uncle are also due to her?
And what about past lives? Could it be ...... The old man's illness ......
Cheng Ziyu was inevitably excited, and she didn't dare to think deeply.
But Zhishu did not "disappoint" her at all.
Zhishu was sincerely afraid, respectfully kowtowed to the emperor, and kowtowed to Cheng Ziyu again.
At the emperor's signal, she began to cry.
"Master, you are injured, do you hurt?"
Cheng Ziyu stared at her, and sure enough, she asked four questions, but she didn't answer any of them.
She obviously has more important plays.
"I'm sorry! Master, the slave and the maid are incompetent, and the slave and the maid are recruited. Don't insist on it anymore. It's all exposed. The emperor already knows, so don't deny it. Let's ask the emperor for mercy together, and we will atone for our sins......"
Cheng Ziyu was short of breath, and her heart fell rapidly.
When these words came out of the mouth of someone she had never expected, it really made her tremble with anger. People who have been raised by their side for many years, day and night, are as close as sisters! Although she guessed, she still hoped that she had guessed wrong.
It can be known that the opening of the book is to send her and the Cheng family on the road!
Disappointed.
If you continue to play like this, who else will believe in yourself? Is it not conclusive?
It's still light to be smashed by the emperor!
The emperor's annoyance not only came from suspicion, but also dragged Zhu Changzhe and Li Chun down by himself! The questions are one after another with himself and the Cheng family, how can he be innocent?
Even if Zhishu is a white-eyed wolf, he is also his own person, and he has to be responsible, right?
"Zhishu, do you know what you're talking about and doing?" Cheng Ziyu didn't understand.
"Master. You're angry, aren't you? Forgive me. Zhishu came up and pulled Cheng Ziyu's sleeve and told her to avoid it first.
Zhishu cried even more, kowtowing one after another.
"I'm sorry master, I'm sorry. But we've been caught. You don't have to carry it. ”
"Shut up."
"The emperor knows it, there is no point in you carrying it like this, we also have to, King Zhe and Kang Anbo are so strong, they are so powerful in Jiangnan, we are just merchants, we are helpless."
"That's enough, you wait."
However, the play of Zhishu is not over yet, how can you wait?
"Let's turn to testify against them at this moment, if you tell the prince and their affairs, the emperor will definitely give us a light sentence. Master, don't be obsessed and unrepentant......"
"Shut up! I don't care who ordered you to come, but you ask yourself, is this how you repay me? ”
"I'm sorry, the slave has disappointed you. The slave has betrayed you, and I don't ask you for forgiveness, but I want you to ...... as soon as possible."
"How can I not be taught by you!"
Cheng Ziyu couldn't suppress her anger anymore. She had been looking at Zhishu, just wanting to find a little bit of pain and guilt in her eyes.
Not really.
Zhishu's tears, like those women who have been fighting in the back house for many years, can be controlled freely with the release of emotions. So, probably a long time ago, she has sunk into some kind of calculation and strife, right?
Cheng Ziyu was a little shocked, it turned out that she had never found out about these.
She slapped her backhand out.
If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to be charged with coercion and intimidation, if she didn't want to let these courtiers use the topic to play on the grounds that she was "exposed in person, so she was embarrassed and angry", if it weren't for the fact that this is the imperial study so it is not suitable for seeing blood and causing trouble, then she must not hesitate to pull out the hairpin and directly cut the throat of this white-eyed wolf!
Even so, there were several "stop" sounds in the room at the same time, all of which were gestures of protection for Zhishu, an important witness.
Cheng Ziyu ignored them, and only stared at Zhishu fiercely.
"I don't know why you betrayed me with a false confession, and I don't know who promised you anything, but I can tell you clearly, even if you think you are a certainty, I may not be able to clear my name, but even if I die, I will be buried with you! As long as I don't nod, you're still my minion! I want to see if you can get what you want if you betray me! ”
Cheng Ziyu grinded her teeth, watching Zhishu's tears gradually stop, and panic flashed.
Do you even know that you are afraid?
Cheng Ziyu admitted to herself that even if she really fell into the same desperate situation as in her previous life, even if she couldn't kill Zhu Changjue and Zhu Changan, it would not be difficult to clean up this white-eyed wolf with her own hands!
Zhishu was really panicked, and begged on his knees, begging Cheng Ziyu, begging the emperor, and begging everyone present. beg everyone to believe in her, to shelter her, and beg those people to give her master another chance...... Her appearance is pitiful, extremely vulnerable, and she is clearly in a dilemma and cornered.
"So the county lord, this is indeed your henchman, right?" Yang Ge asked.
"She's my girl, but she's definitely not my confidant. is just a minion, and he doesn't follow me, and everything he says is not the same as his master, how can he say that he is a confidant? No! ”
"But the Cheng family knows that this person called Zhishu has always been by your side, and he is one of the stewards of your Cheng family's Ziyi Xuan, is there indeed such a thing?"
"Yes, but I ......"
"Yes, that's it. If the county lord does not trust the scholarly girl, how can he make her the steward of his own estate? Alright, Scholar Girl, please repeat what you said before. Please be calm and listen to what your steward has to say, and it will not be too late for you to argue. ”
What Zhishu said is nothing more than confirming the collusion between Cheng Ziyu and Zhu Changzhe and others.
said that when the master was on his southern tour, he was troubled between General Li and King Zhe. Later, although he chose General Li, he still failed to sever his connection with King Zhe.
said that when King Zhe stayed in Jiangnan to repair the dam, he had a few private meetings with his master. This is undoubtedly to confirm the previous rumors that the two have hooked up, and at this moment, from Cheng Ziyu's personal maid, the credibility is naturally not low.
Especially Zhishu also took out a bead - a bead that Cheng Ziyu had almost forgotten. It was the bead that Zhu Changzhe gave away during his southern tour, but it was a bead that flowed from Kang Anbo's hand.
Undoubtedly, the appearance of this bead once again became evidence that she had a good relationship with Zhu Changzhe and was implicated with Kang Anbo.
Cheng Ziyu sneered, when she went north, most of these external objects were locked in the warehouse, I really didn't want to, and they were stolen at this time. It can be seen that Sister Wenwen, the chief steward of Ziyi Xuan, has a necessity for these people to fall.
Zhishu also confessed that she didn't know anything about the charity of the charity, because every time the donation was made, either the master did it himself, or he went to the Liangjiang Yamen to do it. The Cheng family and the rest of Ziyixuan are all unintelligible. Perhaps, it will be possible to find out by bringing the painting into the painting for a good review......
This "I don't know", the attack power is more powerful than the evidence. The more I don't know, the more Cheng Ziyu's sneaky and sneaky people are. And Zhishu is so clearly referring to the painting, but it makes Cheng Ziyu hate it even more.
Obviously, the southward movement into the painting still hindered the plans of the people behind the scenes, and they wished that they would also be forced into Beijing to enter the painting, right?
But what about her conscience? The relationship between the painting and her is closer than that of a sister. The two grew up together and slept in the same room, and the friendship was extraordinary. Not only does she want to rebel against the master, but even her good sisters have to push people into the fire pit?
Cheng Ziyu was so angry that her throat was bitter.
The Zhishu over there is still explaining the so-called facts:
After completing the two batches of pointing objects in the Great Zhou Army, they got new drawings. The craftsmen naturally found that the words on the drawings had changed, but since it was designated by Kang Anbo and requested by King Zhe, they probably knew that there were probably operational secrets in it, so they naturally wouldn't ask too much.
Zhishu added another piece of evidence: a letter written back to Jingxi by "Cheng Ziyu".
The content is to ask the Jingxi Workshop to open the mold according to the drawings, and deliver the finished objects to the location required by King Zhe. The letter also repeatedly stressed: Everything is confidential. Don't leak it.
Cheng Ziyu laughed after reading it.
This letter, a good counterfeit.
In her opinion, it is almost possible to confuse the real with the fake. Whether it is the frustration of the pen or the charm habits, they are all imitated to ninety percent.
She didn't know that Zhishu had already imitated her handwriting.
That's right, knowing books and books, at the beginning, it was the good writing that was taken by me by my side! Such a good talent, every day against his own words, imitation writing is not handy?
……
In this way, Zhishu, as the manager of the Cheng Mansion, came out and pushed everyone from the Cheng family to Cheng Ziyu, Zhu Changzhe, and Kang Anbo.
The study room is lively again.
Naturally, human and material evidence must be thoroughly investigated and investigated. No matter how there is the relationship between interests and positions, even the princelings can't wait to step on Zhu Changzhe and Kang Anbo with one foot at this moment, and there will be no chance to turn over.
Compared with the other party's evidence, Cheng Ziyu is empty. She couldn't prove it.
"Jinxi, what do you say?" The emperor looked at her with a complicated expression.
Cheng Ziyu already had a headache, and after kneeling for more than an hour, she was already shaky. was stimulated by Zhishu one after another, and she felt in a trance several times, and only kept pinching her legs and biting her tongue before she persevered until this point.
Hearing this at this moment, she hurriedly bowed down.
"Jinxi just wants to say that those who are clear are self-purifying, and what they haven't done is what they haven't done. Jinxi can only swear to the sky, never colluded with foreigners, never committed treason, never colluded to bribe the government, and never acted unfavorably against the imperial court and the Great Zhou. If you violate this statement, may the sky thunder and split, ten thousand arrows pierce the heart, ashes will be wiped out, and life will not enter reincarnation. But Jinxi still has a request, asking the emperor to fulfill it. ”
She struck hard, and the wound on her forehead cracked, and blood stained the gold bricks.
"You say." The Emperor couldn't help but sigh.
Cheng Ziyu bent up and wanted to straighten her chest, but her body was crooked, her eyes were dark, her knees couldn't hold it, and she rolled to the side.
The emperor took a step, and Father-in-law Yu hurried to pick it up.
"Your Majesty, the county lord of Jinxi doesn't look very good, do you want to ask the imperial doctor?" Father-in-law Yu asked.
But the courtiers were not so easy to speak, and in their opinion, it was clearly a trick of coyness.
"Your Majesty, the county lord is clearly delaying. Wait for the imperial doctor to come, and then diagnose the pulse for treatment, if you apply acupuncture and medicine, will you have to wait for another day? ”
"Don't think that pretending to be faint can evade accountability. It doesn't work. ”
"Yes, it's not early, the county lord has something to say, this kind of trick in the back house is still provincial."
"Yes, the old man has heart-saving pills, Jianli pills, and awakening dew here, and ginseng tea is also prepared, do you want to come to the county master to have a little?"
Yu Gonggong pinched Cheng Ziyu, and Cheng Ziyu's eyes finally lit up again.
But the first person she saw when she opened her eyelids was Zhishu with tears on her face, who was taking a handkerchief and wiping the blood on her forehead. In an instant, she was half awake.
"Get out of here!" Cheng Ziyu struggled to squeeze out two words.
Zhishu's tears suddenly rolled more lively, and Father-in-law Yu turned sideways and squeezed Zhishu aside.
Cheng Ziyu bowed his head at his father-in-law, and then stretched out his hand to the old minister who had just sarcastically looked at him with a sneer.
"Thank you, my lord, I borrowed the Awakening Dew."
The old man was a little stunned, wasn't he pretending?
Father-in-law Yu recruited two palace maids and helped Cheng Ziyu quickly apply the medicine.
After a pause, she knelt down again.
Jinxi couldn't defend himself at the moment. Because Jinxi has been in Beijing for ten months, he is confused about what he has just learned from the book. Jinxi really wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know how to put his mouth out. Therefore, I ask the emperor to read it in the face of my husband, in the face of my Cheng family, in Jinxi, and in the face of charity in the capital, and ask the emperor to give a grace. I would like to say a few words to Zhishu alone. ”
Cheng Ziyu knows that some questions should not be asked clearly now, and I am afraid that I may not be able to find the answers in the future.
The emperor saw that her face was pale, her spirit was not good, her face was bloodless, she couldn't kneel, and she was only supported by trembling hands.
"I'm willing to give you this opportunity, and I hope you can give me an explanation." The emperor's eyes were deep and pointed.
"Jinxi does his best."
