Chapter 374: The witness enters Beijing

Qu Fucheng opened the food box and saw that there were three dried steamed buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of vegetable soup inside.

There could be nothing in the soup and pickles, so he set his eyes on the three dried steamed buns. Between a dry steamed bun, someone tore off a small piece of steamed bread scalp, thinking that it should be this undoubtedly.

When the two jailers walked over, they broke the steamed bun and saw a note inside. quickly opened it, only to see only one line on the note: "Keep your mouth shut, you can ensure wealth for the rest of your life." ”

Qu Fucheng quickly stuffed the note into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

Naturally, he would keep his mouth shut. Now the evidence that Du Fengsheng can catch is that he sold the official to Zhang Xingxing, accepted the silver money from Zhang Salt Merchant, looted some people's fat and people's ointment, and accepted some heavy gifts and money from the lower officials. What are the other major sins?

Although the emperor focuses on rectifying the rule of officials, he hates corruption the most. But in this crime of corruption, how can it not be the crime of seeking the country? So as long as he bit himself to death and was just greedy for a while, and did not have any collusion with Kyoto, his crime was only limited to corruption. But once he confessed, the money he received was divided into three parts, one for the prince, one for the prince and one for the prince of Zhenguo, and only a small part for himself......

What good will it do him to pull both the prince of Zhenguo and the crown prince into the water?

If he doesn't pull the prince and Zhen Guogong into the water, he may still be saved.

Zhang Xingxing's official was arranged by the prince, and the prince was originally on the cusp of the storm, if he made any mistakes in this cell, no matter how stupid a person was, he could think of it, it must be the prince's hand. So as long as he doesn't confess to the prince, even if the prince doesn't save him, it is impossible for him to kill him.

If the emperor is angry and sentences him to death, he also has something to blackmail the prince to save people, right? Let's save your life first, as long as you are alive, you can escape, and you may not be able to be captured and killed by the prince.

Thinking like this, my heart is more certain. Even if there is a prince in the cell of this Dali Temple, he is not afraid. still let yourself eat and sleep well, and recharge your energy.

……

At night, before the gates were closed, the four rode fast horses into Kyoto Castle. On the way, they bought a horse for the craftsman, and only used the horse to carry the female thief who had been fascinated by them and had been unconscious. There was no other mistake to get to the city of Kyoto.

When I arrived in Kyoto City, I didn't go straight to King Chen's Mansion, but went to a small alley in the east of the city. Enter a small quiet courtyard at the end of the alley. After looking around, he saw that no one was following him, so he quickly changed out of his clothes that had been stained with dust all the way, so as not to attract attention when he entered the palace. There were two pieces of the clothes of the royal family in the courtyard, and Cheng Dazhi asked the craftsman to change one and the other......

He said "offense" to the unconscious woman, and changed the clothes for her personally.

Cheng Dazhi carried Zhixing on his back, and the other two took craftsmen, and then went to King Chen's mansion.

Along the way, although it is no different from the people who travel normally, it is very cautious.

This toss is not for the craftsman, but for the woman he is carrying on his back. I don't know what kind of identity this woman is on the prince's side, whether the people in the prince's mansion are familiar with her. I don't know what His Royal Highness wants to do with this woman, so it's better not to let the people in the Prince's Mansion find out. went to King Chen's Mansion like that, if he happened to be seen by the people in the Prince's Mansion, it would be ruined by His Highness's affairs.

Back at King Chen's Mansion, it was already dark.

On the way, I asked the guards who had just started patrolling, and I knew that King Chen was in Zhaodeyuan, so I went straight to Zhaodeyuan.

When they arrived at the palace, the other two retreated, so as not to disturb the prince and the princess. Cheng Dazhi got the message, carried the weaving star on his back, and took the craftsman into the house.

This craftsman is a good looker, and was led into the small study of Zhaode Courtyard by Cheng Dazhi, and when he saw that the person in front of him was King Chen, he knelt down and said: "Please ask Your Highness to save Xiao's life......"

"Alright, alright, don't make all this useless! If Your Highness doesn't save you, do you still have a small life? Cheng Dazhi kicked him.

Along the way, the craftsman was very obedient, and they were very enthusiastic.

King Chen asked, "Why are you still carrying one?" ”

When I took a closer look, I found that the person Cheng Dazhi was carrying on his back, with fine skin and tender meat, was not among those craftsmen at first glance.

"Oh......" Cheng Dazhi found a chair, put down the unconscious Weaving Star, and said, "This person is not a craftsman, he is a killer who is chasing us on the road." accidentally let her get her hands on it and killed Lao Chen. Fortunately, we got back alive. Your Royal Highness, if you think about it, it should be someone from the prince's side. ”

King Chen looked this person's figure up and down, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be her, but I didn't expect it to be a breasted one." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Dazhi was a little confused. What does Your Highness mean by this? Do you know or don't know?

Rong Yunxi walked over from the small hall, looked this person up and down, and said with a smile: "This is the person who defeated you twice in light skills?" ”

"It turned out to be a woman, no wonder...... "King Chen excused himself, "You don't understand kung fu, women are already light, and they are much stronger than men in light skills." ”

Rong Yunxi smiled, thinking that you would deceive yourself.

"Your Highness knows her?" Cheng Dazhi said.

"This man is indeed under the crown prince, and he is quite a powerful ...... You have captured her, but you have done a great job to this king. Let's let this king think about it, how to use her......" King Chen said, and continued to look at the weaving star very meaningfully.

Cheng Dazhi suddenly thought that this was a woman, a woman, in the hands of His Royal Highness......

Cheng Dazhi was a little worried, and proposed: "Your Highness, according to your subordinates, it is better to hand it over to Lei to stop them, right?" Let them take care of it, and this woman will not escape. ”

He was not afraid of what His Highness would do to this woman, but he was afraid that His Highness would be carried away by the beauty and give this woman a chance to do something to His Highness.

But the current King Chen is very different from the original King Chen, although the appearance of this woman dressed as a man is quite fresh, but it does not arouse his interest at all. just shook his head and said: "This woman is a capable person, if she is handed over to Lei Zhu and them, we will not get any use in the future, and then let her escape, knowing that Lei Zhu is their lair, isn't it disadvantageous to read us?" ”

Cheng Dazhi scratched his head, feeling that His Highness had a point, and he was really confused.

"So you take her into your room and see her for yourself. Doesn't it work with incense? I just kept using it for her. Just don't let her wake up. Hongu took him first...... What's your name? King Chen asked the craftsman.

After such a long time, and when I was in Sanhuai, I just took a picture, but now I have long forgotten it.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the little one is also surnamed Chen, called Chen Yongfu." This craftsman said.

King Chen nodded: "Go back and take you to the palace to see the emperor, what the emperor asks you, you just tell the truth, you can't have the slightest lie, don't add oil and vinegar, just tell the truth." If you know, you will say, and if you don't know, you will not speak, can you understand? ”

Chen Yongfu nodded, and replied in a loud voice: "Yes, yes!" ”

King Chen felt that he was very well-behaved and didn't worry about anything.

Then he instructed Cheng Dazhi: "You take someone back first, and when you come back from the palace, you are thinking about what to do with this woman." ”

"Yes." Cheng Dazhi responded, picked up the weaving star and retreated.

Behind his back, the appearance of saluting King Chen is ridiculous.

King Chen took Chen Yongfu out of the door, but his footsteps suddenly stopped. stopped Cheng Dazhi, who had just walked out of Zhaode Courtyard with someone on his back: "Dazhi, you come back!" ”

"Yes......" Cheng Dazhi answered in a long voice and ran back quickly.

King Chen carefully instructed Cheng Dazhi, and then stood in the distance, not planning to lead people forward.

"Yes." Cheng Dazhi responded and was busy doing it.

Rong Yunxi stood behind King Chen and laughed out loud.

King Chen turned his head with a surprised expression, which meant ...... What are you laughing at?

Rong Yunxi said: "You finally thought of it?" I thought you were coldly seeing a beautiful woman with a fresh face, and your soul was swept away! ”

"Hey......" King Chen shook his head, "they were all harmed by her light skills!" ”

When he saw this woman, he only thought about her supernatural light skills, and almost neglected one of the most important things. That is, how did she know that Cheng Dazhi went out to pick up people? Obviously, it was his palace that was being targeted. Perhaps at this time, the news that people received back had already reached the Prince's Mansion. If the craftsman is killed on the way, the father may think that maybe he sent someone to do it himself, just to blame the prince.

In this way, the father is not sure which is right and which is wrong. After tossing around, didn't he still achieve the situation that the eldest brother wanted to create at the beginning?

Not long after, the elite guards of the eight mansions arrived at Zhaode Courtyard, and King Chen took them into the palace together. For safety, King Chen invited Chen Yongfu to ride in a carriage with him. Chen Yongfu refused at first, but King Chen said that it was to save trouble, so he couldn't say anything, so he could only sit in the same carriage with King Chen.

On the way to Beigong Gate, the killer sent by the prince was already waiting.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, it was inconvenient to call the secret guards to act, so he could only call the commander of the government soldiers in the mansion and personally take a few people with strong martial arts to intercept it.

These people saw that there were eight guards guarding King Chen's carriage. Although there were more than 20 people in the front and those waiting behind, they were still a little frightened when they saw someone guarding them.

Because His Highness has said, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed. But once the other party is vigilant, the possibility of success is reduced by half. What's more, the road from King Chen's Mansion to Beigongmen was so close, and the target they wanted to kill was very easy to escape.
