Chapter 309: The general intercedes
Two days later, the criminal department Shangshu interrogated Hua Luo, although Hua Luo was wronged, but because there was no evidence, it was not surprising that Hua Luo was sentenced to death.
In the emperor's bedroom, the fourth prince Lan Yi waited for the old emperor to drink the medicine, and then he had to help the old emperor lie down and rest, and the old emperor wanted to sit for a while, Lan Yi had no choice but to let him.
The old emperor looked at Lan Yi and said, "If I remember correctly, today is the day of Hua Luo's girl's interrogation, and this hour, it has already been tried, right?" How's it going? ”
"As you think, Hua Luo is executed." Lan Yi said.
The old emperor looked at Lan Yi for a long time before retracting his gaze: "I heard that you and Hua Luo are on good terms, why can't I see a little sad and sad at this time." ”
"Father, my son has been sad for a while. It's just that Erchen feels that Hualuo's matter is full of loopholes. ”
"Oh? Tell me about it. "There is so much evidence, all of which can prove that Hua Luo is the murderer of the crown prince, and now that Yi'er said this, he would like to hear another version.
"Father, the sons and daughters think that the wine handed to the crown prince and the royal brother has passed through the hands of so many people, and it has not been detected to be poisonous, which is not reasonable at all, compared to the small people in the market like the Hua family, this is more like the gullibility of the crown prince's brother."
"This alone, although it is a little suspicious, does not mean that the wine has nothing to do with the Hua family." The old emperor said.
"Erchen knew that his father, the emperor, at the beginning of the capital, said that the Hua family could not cling to the powerful, and he was angry and killed the crown prince and brother. As far as Erchen knows, in December last year, Hua Luo had already married the lecturer of Nanjia Academy, and Hua Luo was summoned into the palace by the imperial grandmother to make pastries only a few days after she returned. Based on these two points alone, Erchen felt that this matter was very strange. ”
The old emperor was a little surprised to hear that Hua Luo had already married, so the old emperor asked Lan Yi, "How do you know about this matter?" ”
"Father, you forgot, at that time, you still asked Jin'er to suppress bandits! When they got married, they were caught up by Jin'er. ”
"Then according to what you say, Hua Luo's case is indeed a bit ...... However, in the face of criminal law, it is necessary to pay attention to evidence, and it is not enough to rely on a mouth. ”
"Evidence...... General Hua is still collecting! Lan Ye said.
"I heard that this Hua Luo is Hua Hongyuan's biological daughter, and a few days before I returned to the house, something like this happened, and General Hua was also heartbroken."
After the old emperor finished speaking, Gonggong Meng came to report: "Your Majesty, General Hua asks to see you!" ”
"Say Cao Cao Cao is here, let him in!" At this time, the old emperor was slightly tired.
Soon Hua Hongyuan walked in, and he saluted the old emperor respectfully: "The ministers see the emperor." ”
"Alright, get up! What are you looking for? The old emperor asked knowingly.
"I don't know if the emperor has heard that the minister has recently recognized his daughter who has been outcast?" Hua Hongyuan asked the old emperor rhetorically.
Lan Yi saw that Hua Hongyuan had something to say to the old emperor, so he retired.
The old emperor nodded: "I know that the daughter you just recognized is the murderer who killed the prince, I didn't find you, but you came to find me, General Hua, you are so bold!" ”
"Panic! Chen believes that Hua Luo's girl will not do such a thing at a young age.
However, there is no evidence yet, the minister does not ask the emperor to let Hua Luo go, but he asks the emperor to let Hua Luo stay in the general's mansion for a few days, the emperor can rest assured, the old minister will use the head of Xiang Shang to guarantee, and he will definitely not let Hua Luo run. ”
This is the first time the old emperor has seen Hua Hongyuan like this, and his heart is mixed, and it took a long time to open his mouth: "General Hua ......"
As soon as the old emperor's words came out, he was interrupted by Hua Hongyuan: "Your Majesty, Hua Luo has suffered a lot for so many years, and now he has been recognized by the old minister, and there is such a thing, and I ask the emperor to agree to the old minister's request." ”
Hua Hongyuan paused and said: "The old minister has been fighting for the country for so many years, and now he can get the emperor's gift, enjoy the royal peace, and want his daughter to share the emperor......'s grace."
"Alright, alright, I know. Why do you think you are doing this? The old emperor coughed, and said, "You have used your head as a guarantee, you say, don't I let that girl go?" ”
When Hua Hongyuan heard this, he hurriedly said "thank you" to the old emperor, and then went to the criminal department to bring Hua Luo back to the general's mansion.
When Hua Hongyuan saw Hua Luo, he felt distressed for a while: "Ah Luo, dad will take you back." ”
"Daddy......"
Hua Luo's words were interrupted by Hua Hongyuan before he finished speaking: "Ah Luo, don't talk now that you are weak, this is not a place for people, let's leave quickly!" ”
Hua Luo didn't know what method Hua Hongyuan used to persuade the old emperor to let her out, but she knew that the price Hua Hongyuan paid must be very large.
Hua Luo glanced at Hua Hongyuan while thinking, and she suddenly felt that Hua Hongyuan seemed to have aged a lot during this time.
"Dad, thank you!" Hua Luo couldn't help but say to Hua Hongyuan, "Thank you." ”
"You kid, dad should be for you." Hua Hongyuan said with a smile.
In the General's Mansion, there were bursts of laughter from the courtyard of the eldest princess Lan You, and it took a long time to stop laughing.
"Mother, Hua Luoqiu was beheaded later, it's really happy!" Hua Ruoyu said while eating grapes.
"Ruoyu, your voice is quiet, if your father hears it, your father will definitely blame you." Although the eldest princess Lan You said this, the joy between her eyebrows was visible.
"Dad heard that Hua Luoqiu was beheaded later, and he was more anxious than anyone else! I guess I'm pleading with the emperor in the palace at this time! Hua Mingzhe said angrily.
"Mother, what do you say is going on with Dad? Why do you care so much about Hualuo's country girl? Hua Ruoyu asked.
"Who knows what your dad is thinking. But it doesn't matter, even if the emperor agrees to something, he will not exempt Hua Luo from the death penalty. Because, every charge against Hua Luo is a capital crime. "Moreover, Hua Luo was poisoned by her and died a long time ago.
Even if Hua Luo returned to the General's Mansion now, what was she afraid of?
Thinking of this, the eldest princess Lan You said to Hua Mingzhe: "Mingzhe, your father is very likely to beg the emperor to let Hua Luo come to live in the general's mansion now, and when the time comes, you must be calm, and don't let others see any clues." ”
"What? Isn't he crazy? Let Hua Luo come to live in the house? Did he think about us when he did this? For Hua Hongyuan's approach, Hua Mingzhe was very displeased.
"Mother is just guessing. However, with my mother's understanding of your father, it is very likely that she will bring Hua Luo back, and even go to the emperor at the cost of her life. ”
