Chapter 466: Chopping the grass
Chen Meng...... Chen Meng is a general manager of my house, promoted from the house slaves, what can he say? Zheng Anhou was right.
Changning sneered.
"Nothing to say? A thief and traitor who collaborated with the enemy and treason, colluded with the Turks, and you didn't have anything to say to your father and emperor, and you wanted to explain to the people of the world? ”
Zheng Anhou's face turned pale: "Your Majesty is angry, the minister has already written to clarify this matter, it was all done by Chen Meng alone, and the minister really doesn't know." ”
Jiang Shangshu immediately stood up when he received the look: "Your Majesty Mingjian, when the eldest princess directly slashed and killed more than 20 people in the Zheng'an Hou Mansion that day, didn't she already clean up the case, why is it used to make trouble now?" ”
"Exactly, not to mention that Chen Meng is dead, now Changning can splash any dirty water on Zheng Anhou." The three princes also did not hesitate to support.
Zheng Anhou is his own uncle, and it is natural to openly support it.
Changning chuckled: "The Third Emperor Brother is so sure that I am splashing dirty water, it seems that I am sure that I can't produce evidence." ”
The third prince squinted: "Where is the evidence?" ”
Zheng Anhou curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, "Please show evidence from Your Highness, and the minister is willing to confront you in court." ”
He said it lightly.
At the beginning, Chen Meng's corpse was faked, and afterwards he also sent a large number of people to secretly chase and kill, and he also got the exact news.
In fact, Chen Meng had already fled from Chang'an, but was killed in a small county near Chang'an. The innkeeper he complained about accidentally saw the treasure on his body, and the man conspired with the shopkeeper to poison Chen Meng, and threw his body into the mountains to feed the wolves.
They found the rotten corpse that was wearing the same clothes as Chen Meng, and there was a token from the Hou Mansion on it to confirm the corpse, and there would be no mistake.
In other words, Chen Meng is dead, and he was not caught by anyone in the process.
Zheng Anhou thought about it with this line of thought, and only felt that Changning must not be able to produce evidence, and even if the evidence was presented, the evidence would be fake.
Zheng Anhou handed the third prince a meaningful look.
"That letter is proof." Changning Dao was obviously referring to Cheng's letter to the emperor.
The letter has been dismantled and laid flat on the table.
The content of the emperor has already been read, and every word at the bottom is shocking, including the bloody handprint.
Fu An observed his words, personally stepped forward and took down the letter paper with a tea tray, handed it to Zheng Anhou and the three princes and others to see, and also let Qin Taifu and other important ministers see it.
The ministers are boiling!
"There are Chen Meng's handprints on it, is it true or false?" Some ministers questioned, and Xu Jie responded: "Dare to ask Zheng Anhou, how can this be explained?" ”
"Chen Meng confessed two things in this pleading, the first is that you asked him to contact the Turkic prince's guard, Lord Dar Dunda, and the criminal official of Honglu Temple, to steal the terms of the leakage agreement, but is there such a thing?" Xu Jie asked that this was the scope of his authority as an envoy.
What's more, the incident was still related to him at the beginning.
The terms of the peace agreement were the painstaking work written by him and the systems of the past dynasties, and most of the content of the book was considered by him independently, without any opportunity to anticipate in advance.
The only possibility is that the content was leaked, and the results found out by Changning by bloody means at that time were the same, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Chen Meng.
"Bloody mouth!" Zheng Anhou refuted it rhetorically.
"Chen Meng, this villain, is used to acting as a blessing under the banner of my Zheng Anhou Mansion, and now that the matter is coming, he still wants to buckle the basin on my head, which is simply too deceitful!"
Zheng Anhou was indignant.
The third prince sang with a red face: "Changning, where did you get this pleading?" Now that Chen Meng is dead, everything is dead without proof, even if Chen Meng is still alive, he can't be sure of the truth or falsehood of this statement, how can you be so sure that Zheng Anhou is guilty, and sue your father! ”
Changning chuckled: "Listen to the meaning of the third imperial brother, the imperial brother is sure that Chen Meng is dead, and he is also sure that this letter is fake?" ”
The third prince looked back at Changning, and his back to the emperor made him yin for two points, and his face was very obvious.
"Chen Meng's corpse has already been discovered, and as for the authenticity of this statement, it can naturally be checked and compared." He looked confident.
"Okay, then check and compare." Changning also agreed happily.
Zheng Anhou squinted slightly, revealing a cold smile for a moment.
Chu Changning, you also have times when you are fooled.
When the guards compared some of the contracts in the Hou Mansion that required Chen Meng to draw a handprint, Zheng Anhou still did not change his face.
Openness is like having a clear conscience.
Changning was not in a hurry or impatient, waiting for the comparison results.
"Your Majesty, the fingerprints on these two documents do belong to the same person." The one in charge of the inspection.
"It can't be!" Zheng Anhou changed color.
The third prince also darkened his face: "Foolish! Can you check it out? ”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, the lower officials have checked it clearly, this is indeed the fingerprint of the same person, and there will be no difference." He was neither humble nor arrogant: "The sages have long said that people's fingerprints are different, and even twin brothers will never have exactly the same two fingerprints, so Your Highness does not need to doubt the judgment of the lower officials." ”
The face of the third prince darkened.
He's not skeptical, he's sure!
Chu Changning's pleadings there were forged, he was sure!
Does that dare to lie to him?
The third prince's face was pale, and he glanced at Zheng Anhou, and sure enough, Zheng Anhou also had the same suspicion at this moment.
Have they all fallen for the trick?
Changning chuckled.
The game that was laid out in the past has finally begun to harvest the fish in the net today.
"Why, Zheng Anhou and the Third Emperor Brother are suspecting that my pleadings are fake? Is it a fake produced in a small workshop surnamed Liu outside Chang'an City? ”
Hearing the small workshop surnamed Liu, the three princes and Zheng Anhou completely changed color.
Sure enough, they were tricked!
Chu Changning must have deliberately sent someone to the small workshop surnamed Liu to cheat, and then deliberately leaked the news to them, and when they sent someone to Weiyang Palace to steal the pleadings, what they stole was a fake.
In this way, Zheng Anhou and others would decide that Changning could not find Chen Meng and could not get the pleadings and rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and sent someone to make a fake.
Therefore, her pleadings to the emperor today are also fake, and it is precisely because of this that Zheng Anhou and the third prince dare to be so arrogant today.
But what they didn't expect was that Changning got the real pleadings first, but he still had to add to the snake, deliberately sending blind people to fake and lead them to the bait.
This bait has been released for so long, so long that Changning is about to forget it, and finally rewinds the line.
After so much effort, I finally caught a big fish today.
"Bastard!" The emperor threw the fold on the dragon case to the ground with a loud roar, and angrily scolded: "I trust you so much, you actually betray me with foreign enemies!" ”
Collaborating with the enemy and treason is the rebellion of the emperors of all dynasties.
The emperor can allow corruption, but he will never allow rebellion, let alone treason.
Changning uncovered Zheng Anhou's secret, which was to poke a hole in Zheng Anhou's heart, hurt his muscles and bones, and cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
