Chapter 241: Crying
Cheng Fang insisted that Cheng Shaomu was the mastermind behind the scenes, although there was no definite evidence, but the investigation surrounding Cheng Shaomu also began.
His official position was suspended, and although he was not caught in the torture room, he was placed under house arrest in the study where he lived. All the subordinates around him were arrested and tortured in the torture room. ‘
A day later, all sorts of news came.
Cheng Fang is a hard bone, and he didn't say a word when he was tortured. Usually where did the subordinates suffer, at the beginning they still told the truth, and later in order to get out, they began to testify against Cheng Shaomu in various ways.
The most exaggerated one is that Cheng Shaomu intended to poison Shen Xiu's dog. didn't know that Shen Xiu didn't have a dog at all.
"Hey, it's time to eat."
The eunuch who delivered the meal put the food box on the table with a very bad attitude.
Cheng Shaomu was silent, neither angry nor angry, the whole person seemed to be numb, and sat still.
In a few days, he looked much older. A young man in his early twenties, his face was pale and haggard, and his face was full of scum.
"Hmph, do you like to eat or not." The eunuch who delivered the meal snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the house.
When the lock was re-locked, the chain was deliberately made very loud.
The rooms in the main room were not very spacious, and the windows were all closed and the doors were locked. Even though it was noon, the room was very dark.
It wasn't until the eunuch's footsteps were far away that Cheng Shaomu slowly opened the food box.
Three steamed buns, a few vegetarian dishes, the appearance is very unbearable, not to mention the stomach.
If it was put in the past, this kind of food, Cheng Shaomu wouldn't even look at it. But at this time, I picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
I only send one meal a day, and I don't like to eat.
Cheng Shaomu didn't want to die yet, so he could only eat.
I don't know how long this house arrest will be, and if I starve to death like this, it will become a joke.
"Maybe, I shouldn't have come in." Cheng Shaomu was a little talking to himself, feeling very melancholy.
Cheng Yuanniang escaped death, he wanted to keep his only sister and fulfill his brother's responsibilities.
But he didn't expect that such a complicated situation in Yanwangfu, let alone protecting Cheng Yuanniang, he couldn't even protect himself.
Last time, Chao's brother and nurse were poisoned, and Princess Cheng protected Wei Ling, and he had the intention of leaving at that time. But Cheng Yuanniang disagreed, and he himself was a little unwilling.
My aunt is the princess, and my sister is the princess, so a good hand, just admit defeat and leave, and I am always unwilling.
How long has passed, and he has been under house arrest, and his future life and death are unknown.
As for Cheng Yuanniang, even if she is not implicated this time, it is easy to find an excuse to clean her up.
After entering the Yanwang Mansion, he deeply understood what it meant to be in the hands of others, and the meaning of pinching death whenever he wanted.
At the same time, in the main room of King Yan, Princess Cheng was crying to King Yan, and Han Xiao stood next to him without saying a word.
"A madman who doesn't know where he came from, just gossips and says it's my nephew's doing." Princess Cheng cried and said, "That child was grown up by me, and he doesn't have the courage to do this." ”
Han Xiao still didn't say a word.
King Yan listened silently, as if he was considering.
"The prince prefers Concubine Shen, this is human nature, but partiality is too much." Princess Cheng continued.
Han Xiao looked dazed and said, "I can't understand what the princess said, what does this have to do with Concubine Shen?" ”
"If it weren't for her, where would you be so aggressive." Princess Cheng said angrily.
Han Xiao said: "The princess misunderstood, this thief entered the palace twice. The first time he burned down Shede Temple, and the second time he killed more than a dozen people in Pinghu Qiuyue, and Lord Su arrested the criminals after several hard work. ”
"It's when it touches your heart and liver that you make trouble." Princess Cheng said.
Han Xiao said: "The thief is bold, if he can enter Shede Temple and Pinghu Qiuyue, he can also enter Jiale Hall." The thieves in the palace are not only unlucky, but everywhere is in danger. ”
The silent King Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Han Xiao.
He has always been obedient to Princess Cheng, a son who is completely unkissed, and his wife who has been with him for nearly 30 years, of course he believes in Han Xiao more.
But the palace is an assassin, which is related to its own safety, and it must be dealt with strictly.
"The palace is iron-clad, and nothing happened anywhere else, but something happened where Concubine Shen went, and it was because of herself." Princess Cheng said.
Han Xiao said: "If Concubine Shen has an accident outside the palace, it will naturally be because of her, but if someone has an accident in the palace, it means that the palace is in danger." ”
"According to me, it's better to take Concubine Shen down for interrogation, maybe you can ask something." Princess Cheng said.
Han Xiao looked at King Yan and said, "I know that the princess has always been prejudiced against me, and this time Uncle Cheng is involved, so I am extremely excited." It's just that Wang Ye asked him to think carefully, when he worshipped his ancestors on Chinese New Year's Eve, he met assassins on the road. It's only been a few months, and another thief will enter the house soon. With such a crisis in the past, I had no choice but to investigate and deal with it strictly. ”
King Yan was silent for a long time, and Han Xiao nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
If there is a problem with the security of the palace, if you can kill Pinghu Qiuyue, you can kill your own house. Not to mention that it involves his wife and nephew, even his own daughter has to be dealt with strictly.
"What did the son of the world find out?" Princess Cheng asked with a sneer.
Han Xiao is indeed very good at grasping the key points, no matter how confused she is about the facts, when it comes to the word danger, King Yan is suddenly different.
People are afraid of death, and the assassination last time almost scared King Yan's courage.
This time, another assassin entered the mansion, but I am afraid that it will be ......
"The thief has been caught, and after being interrogated in the torture room, he identified Cheng Shaomu as the perpetrator." Han Xiao said, "I put Cheng Shaomu under house arrest in my own residence. ”
Princess Cheng asked: "Then this thief has an explanation, how to deal with Shaomu, and there can be evidence to prove it." Or there may be a material confession. ”
"Nope." Han Xiao said.
Princess Cheng sneered and said: "It's just a random bite, and the prince is convicted, is it hasty?" ”
"Just because there was no other evidence, I ordered Cheng Shaomu to be placed under house arrest instead of being arrested and tortured in the torture room." Han Xiao said.
King Yan became more and more silent, although he believed his wife, but at this time, Han Xiao's words were obviously more credible.
Nothing is as important as his own life, if Cheng Shaomu has no dislike at all, why did the thief recognize him.
House arrest is light, and it should be directly arrested and tortured.
"Cough, cough......" Princess Cheng suddenly coughed, she only covered her chest, looking like she couldn't breathe, "I'm sick, get the medicine quickly." ”
The people in the house suddenly became busy, Princess Cheng had an old illness, and sometimes she suddenly couldn't breathe, and she had to take medicine immediately, otherwise her life would be in danger.
King Yan was also very concerned, although his words were not clear, he also shouted to everyone and called the doctor.
After such a toss, Han Xiao said to King Yan: "It's all my fault, I caused the princess's old illness to recur, I just left, so as not to make the princess even more angry." ”
It is very timely for Princess Cheng's old disease to "relapse", because if she continues to talk about it, with the character of King Yan, she will most likely agree to torture Cheng Shaomu.
Interrupting the topic with an old illness, King Yan is paralyzed, and he may not have the energy to take care of it. In the torture room of King Yan's Mansion, at least half of his life was entered, and he couldn't bear the criminal law, so Cheng Shaomu simply pleaded guilty.
Princess Cheng must not want her nephew to end up like this, and he doesn't want to push Princess Cheng too hard.
Princess Cheng's intertwined forces in the Yan Palace, if you want to pull it out, you still need strength.
"Hmm......" King Yan waved his hand and squeaked, his face full of disgust, and motioned for Han Xiao to leave early.
Han Xiao retreated when he saw this, he went out and walked out, and the eunuch led the doctor in.
This old disease, Princess Cheng took advantage of it, it was really convenient, and it was even more tried in front of King Yan.
married to the couple, Princess Cheng really pinched King Yan.
The next person brought the pills, the doctor checked the pulse, and tossed for most of the day before Princess Cheng slowly eased up.
King Yan had been guarding her side, and he was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"Let the prince worry." Princess Cheng said, but she looked apologetic, "My body is not angry." ”
"Hmm, no......" King Yan squeaked a few words, signaling her to have a good rest.
Princess Cheng smiled a little bitterly: "I'm also my age, although the son of the world is a successor, he always has to call me a mother." I wish he would take over the affairs of the palace as soon as possible, and I would also accompany the prince to enjoy the blessings. ”
said, a little self-deprecating: "An old lady who is half-grounded, what am I fighting with him?" ”
King Yan nodded when he heard this, although he didn't like his successor son. But at this point, it is helpless.
There is even a matter of thieves entering the house, he agrees with Han Xiao's handling plan, and the relevant personnel must be strictly investigated.
Princess Cheng should throw off her hands in this matter, no matter how close her nephew is, she is not as safe as herself.
"I want to stay and eat with the prince, the prince won't bother me." Princess Cheng said with a smile.
King Yan nodded, although Princess Cheng has experienced a decline in color, but he has been married for many years, and he is willing to accompany her.
The subordinates arranged the meal, and Princess Cheng was very attentive, and called the lord of Anhua County over. When a family of three ate, Princess Cheng even took out 120,000 points of ability to coax King Yan happily.
No matter how selfish a person is, when he reaches this age, he will also want his husband and wife to be harmonious and his children to be filial.
Such a harmonious family, how not to make King Yan happy.
In the evening, the county lord of Anhua left first, but Princess Cheng waited for King Yan to sleep, and then went to the back door.
The residence of King Yan and Jiale Hall are the front and back yards. After King Yan was paralyzed, Princess Cheng moved King Yan here in the name of having a lot of affairs and disturbing King Yan's rest, and she was quiet.
"Meet the Princess." The chief eunuch came over to greet him.
Princess Cheng said with a silent expression: "How is the prince doing?" ”
"Okay, yes." The chief eunuch smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a miracle medicine, the prince actually blessed Miss Chun'er last night." ”
Princess Cheng immediately glared at the chief eunuch, and the chief eunuch raised his hand to give himself a slap and said, "Look at the slave's mouth, he can't speak." The prince has taken the doctor's medicine in the past few days, and his spirit is very good, so he has such physical energy. ”
"Did you write it down?" Princess Cheng asked.
The chief eunuch smiled and said: "It's all written down, please rest assured that the princess can't make a mistake." ”
Princess Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
Although it rarely happens, there is still a chance that a paralyzed man in his forties will have another child.
