Chapter 81: Pushing Responsibility
In a word, Ye Qingli picked himself cleanly.
Xiao Tingyi glanced at her quietly, and inexplicably felt that this was completely expected.
After all, now she has fixed herself as cowardly and incompetent, and no matter where she is, she must maintain it well.
But then the answer is simple.
Ye Qingli said that if she didn't know anything, then the situation at that time was as long as Xiao Tingyi himself said.
But at this moment, a voice came from outside,
"Your Majesty! You must be in charge of my son! ”
It is the Duke of Jin.
"I asked the Duke of Jin and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department to also come over, so that it is fair and just."
Xiao Mingrui said.
Ye Qingli was suddenly alert in his heart, could it be that Xiao Mingrui noticed something and wanted the Criminal Department to confront Xiao Tingyi in court?
'Squeak' –
As soon as the door opened, the old man of the Jin Kingdom came in with tears, followed by a man in official uniform, with a dignified face and a look of integrity.
He is the secretary of the Criminal Department, Zheng Enyi.
If Ye Qingli didn't know that marrying herself to Xiao Tingyi was the idea given by Zheng Enyi, she would really think that this was indeed an iron-faced and selfless person.
Oh, two different skins.
"Your Majesty."
Zheng Enyi hurriedly saluted after coming in, and then Xiao Tingyi and Ye Qingli.
"I've seen the prince and the princess."
His movements and expression were respectful and serious, and he didn't show any slackness at all, even if Ye Qingli's incompetent reputation was well known to everyone in Beijing for a long time.
And it is precisely for this reason that he recommended Ye Qingli.
Xiao Tingyi has always been arrogant and rude to anyone, and Zheng Enyi saluted him, but he also turned a blind eye, but Ye Qingli nodded to him a little restrainedly.
"Let's talk about it."
Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Xiao Mingrui sat in the chair a little comfortably, looking like he was going to listen to the analysis of this accident.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zheng Enyi saluted respectfully, and the Duke of Jin Guo cried again, "Your Majesty, Dog He has always been honest in business, and the annual national tax is also paid on time, last year's famine, Dog also took the initiative to contribute rice and grain to help the court for disaster relief, Dog is a good person!" ”
Xiao Mingrui's brain hurt a little when he cried, "Jin Guogong, calm down and listen to what Master Zheng says." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister led people to investigate the ruins of Chengfu Beizhuang, and seriously searched so far, but still did not find the body of Cheng Dagongzi."
Zheng Enyi first made an explanation, and then continued, "Secondly, we conducted a very detailed investigation of the ruins, found traces of oil grass and wine jars, and concluded that the fire in Beizhuang was deliberately set on fire by someone. ”
Suddenly, Jin Guogong began to cry again.
After finishing speaking, Zheng Enyi looked at Xiao Tingyi and asked, "Dare to ask the prince, what did you say when you went to Chengfu Biezhuang for the banquet?" ”
Dare to love, it's really for Xiao Tingyi.
Even if the food was burned and Cheng Jin's body was not found, they still wanted to start with the banquet that night and put a black pot on Xiao Tingyi.
Ye Qingli lowered her head, looked at her nose and nose, and always thought about the hexagram, the white deer, and the seven stars in her heart.
Now, they're really dead, right?
"The king asked him if he had hidden a woman in another village, but he told the king that he was just afraid to go home because of the tigress at home."
Xiao Tingyi replied with an arrogant expression.
However, everything he said was true, and it was true.
And the Duke of Jin became emotional, "Your Royal Highness King Xian, please pay attention to your wording!" ”
Xiao Tingyi sat down with his hands outstretched, "Duke Jin Guo, this is not about this king, Cheng Jin himself said so." ”
Yes, everyone present, except for Xiao Mingrui, only Xiao Tingyi was sitting.
Moreover, he sat down on his own.
Xiao Tingyi's indifferent appearance almost made Jin Guogong faint.
"Uncle Huang, you can say it well, what did you say at that time?"
Xiao Mingrui interjected at the right time, which made Jin Guogong's anger restrain a little, but judging from the current situation, they have almost determined that Cheng Jin was killed by Xiao Tingyi.
"It's gone."
Xiao Tingyi was also a little anxious, "I chatted about women, as well as his treasured old wine." ”
As he spoke, his gaze turned to Ye Qingli, "This king disliked her for a few words, so she cried and ran out, but she lost her way like a fly, and the maid who chased her found her easily, and stepped on the mouse, screaming like crazy, and the king thought that she had committed suicide by throwing herself into the water." ”
So, Ye Qingli's head lowered, and her shoulders couldn't help shaking, as if she was crying.
"Your Majesty, on this point, the minister has verified with the people of Beizhuang who escaped, and it is indeed true."
Zheng Enyi didn't do anything wrong with this.
"Well, then, Uncle Huang, has anything else happened?"
"What else can there be."
Xiao Tingyi said even more angrily, "It's easy for this king to drink a drink, and if she makes such a fuss, how can he still have the mind, so he went back to the palace." ”
After that, he complained again, "It's all her who made trouble, and this king has never been so troublesome!" ”
"That's right, Your Majesty, the subordinates of Chengfu Biezhuang and Wangfu Bizhuang have been summoned, and they are the same as what the prince said."
Zheng Enyi said again.
Ye Qingli couldn't help but be surprised, Zheng Enyi took the wrong medicine and actually testified to Xiao Tingyi?
You know, he is Xiao Mingrui's confidant.
What are you planning to do now?
"But."
Zheng Enyi suddenly changed his words and said, "In the Biezhuang District on the outskirts of Beijing, on the day of the incident, only His Royal Highness King Xian and the princess were also on the spot, and there were no personnel activities in the rest of the Bezhuang. ”
"Co-author, is this intended to be on the head of the king?"
Xiao Tingyi was still hanging, and said, "Can't it be Cheng Jin who offended someone, and then the enemy came to the door and ordered his other village?" ”
"I don't rule it out."
Zheng Enyi nodded, and said, "However, after investigation by the ministers, Cheng Jin does not have too many evil people on weekdays, and those people have no motive and time to commit crimes. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! The dog is righteous and charitable, and there can never be an enemy! ”
Jin Guogong cried.
"Then, what does Lord Zheng mean, does this king have?"
Xiao Tingyi suddenly sneered, as if he was provoked, and asked, "Zheng Enyi, this king doesn't seem to have offended you, don't you even look at the target!" This king is His Majesty's uncle! ”
"Lord Wang, the minister didn't dare to frame the, just talked about the matter, is the prince's emotions too excited?"
Zheng Enyi asked with a calm face.
"What do you mean!"
Xiao Tingyi seemed to have been forced into a corner, and Xiao Mingrui asked, "Lord Zheng, is there any evidence?" ”
"Yes."
Zheng Enyi arched his hand and said, "The minister asked the coachman of the eldest prince of Cheng, in Beizhuang, there is actually another person accompanying the eldest prince Cheng. ”
"Who?"
"Lady Yuming."
As soon as Zheng Enyi said this, Ye Qingli suddenly felt bad.
Oh no, they want to start with Xiao Tingyi's 'notoriety' and deduct the.
Sure enough, Zheng Enyi said, "According to the recollections of the people of Beizhuang, the prince has been interrogating Cheng Dagongzi if he has hidden women, and he is extremely curious about Mrs. Yuming, but Cheng Dagongzi has always denied it, and the prince is probably dissatisfied, so although he left at that time, he secretly wanted to snatch Mrs. Yuming, but he was bumped into by Cheng Dagongzi, and he was in a hurry to kill people and kill people, and he also burned Beizhuang to erase the traces of criminal evidence. ”
Xiao Tingyi suddenly stared at him lazily, and said with a ruffian smile on his face, "Zheng Enyi, slandering the royal family for no reason, but he is going to be taken off his head, what kind of jade tea, this king has never heard of it at all, as long as this king is willing, how many women are competing to lie on the bed and wait for this king, robbing a concubine, this king can commit it?" ”
And Zheng Enyi said, "Everyone knows that the prince is greedy for beauty, and even the granddaughter of the criminal minister Liao Zhi dares to take it back to the palace directly, just a concubine, as long as the prince looks at it, what can't be done?" ”
This sentence is more like a revelation.
"Zheng Enyi, you have to be responsible when you speak."
Xiao Tingyi looked at him, turned to Xiao Mingrui again, and said, "Your Majesty, do you think this king is a murderer?" ”
Xiao Mingrui never expected that the ball would be kicked to him.
However, he had to reply, "Of course I'm not—"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tingyi continued, "See! Your Majesty doesn't believe your, you still dare to slander this king, believe it or not, this king beat you all over the ground to find your teeth! ”
In fact, Xiao Mingrui just wanted to say that he didn't want Xiao Tingyi to be a murderer.
"Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty!"
Zheng Enyi was just about to say something, when the voice of a eunuch suddenly came from outside.
It sounded out of breath and panicked, not knowing what was going on.
"Your Majesty!"
The eunuch Yongchun pushed the door and ran in, knelt on the ground and reported, "Your Majesty, there was news from the Criminal Department just now, saying that the body of Cheng Dagongzi was found!" ”
Suddenly, Jin Guogong seemed to be crazy, "Where is it!" Where is it! Where's my son? ”
Xiao Mingrui was also a little surprised, and also asked, "Tell me quickly, where is it?" ”
The sudden appearance of Cheng Jin's corpse was unexpected by everyone.
"In ......"
Yongchun stammered, and Xiao Mingrui said impatiently, "Say it quickly!" ”
"That's it...... It's right in ......."
Yongchun was so frightened that he shrunk his neck, and replied with some confusion, "I found it in the mansion of the Duke of Jin." ”
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback at the same time.
But Ye Qingli knew in his heart, this was probably done by Xiao Tingyi, right?
He knew very well that today's trip to the palace would inevitably be besieged, so before, he didn't release the bodies of Cheng Jin and the housekeeper, and he was waiting for this moment.
A man with a deep heart.
"It can't be!"
Jin Guogong himself stared, like a copper bell, and Xiao Tingyi was hung again, but asked in a somewhat gloomy tone, "Jin Guogong, you killed your own son, but you want to plant it on the head of this king, isn't it?" ”
