Chapter 426: Tell the Truth
"The Third Highness also explained, this matter must not be known to others, and the things in it must not be seen by others, although the small one is suspicious, but in the end it is the matter explained by the Third Highness, the small one does not dare to talk much, so he does as the Third Highness orders."
"So you got something to be delivered before dinner in the evening?" He Yanxiu asked, biting the five words "before dinner in the evening".
He Yanxiu's tone was low and he spoke slowly, with some momentum that was not angry but threatening.
The little eunuch's head hung lower and lower, and he only nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes." ”
"Since Your Royal Highness explained this matter to you after lunch, why didn't you dispose of that thing at that time, but delayed it until the evening?" He Yanxiu asked.
"This ......," the little eunuch hesitated, and only replied after a moment, "the little one should have gone in the afternoon, but the little one was a rough eunuch in the hunting garden, and there was still a work to be done, so it was delayed for a while." ”
"Since you are a rough eunuch in the hunting garden, you must not be able to do delicate work on weekdays, and you must not be close to the body of the Third Highness, why would the Third Highness let you dispose of things?"
He Yanxiu asked again.
The little eunuch was speechless again, "Little ......"
"If you can't answer, I'll wait a little longer to answer." He Yanxiu continued, "There are a lot of servants in the hunting garden, and there are many servants around the Third Highness, and the Third Highness has even brought people from the palace, all of whom are trusted by him. ”
"It's not unreasonable to let so many credible people go, but to casually find a rough eunuch from the hunting garden to do such an important thing, this is one of them."
"And the matter of His Royal Highness falling off the horse is really done by the Third Highness, and even prepared the poisonous needle early, that is to be deliberate and well-prepared, and the remaining three watches of the Yama King Grass will definitely be disposed of as soon as possible, and he will definitely not wait until His Highness to deal with these things in a hurry after the incident, which makes people suspicious, this is the second."
"If you really want to harm Your Highness by frightening the horse, how can the poison used be brought into the hunting garden from the outside, so that it will not be noticed after the incident, but the use of the three watches of the Yama Grass stored in the treasury by the imperial doctor is equivalent to putting the evidence in front of everyone in a clear way, this is the third."
"During the hunting, chasing each other, wild things are wild and untamable, it often happens that the people who counterattack the hunt at the end of the road, and it is common for horses to be frightened, even if the third highness has the intention to use the frightened horse, just use the arrow to lose, and afterwards it can be said that he lost his hand, so he doesn't have to use such a poisonous needle, this is the fourth."
"All of this can be said to be irrational everywhere." He Yan cultivated, "In any case, this matter was not done by His Royal Highness the Third Highness, but someone deliberately framed him. ”
】
"Explain, who instructed you to do it, and why did you want to harm His Highness, and push the charge on the Third Highness?"
"Naturally, you can also not explain, there is no shortage of wild wolves and other beasts in the paddock, these days are about starvation, you still have a few catties of meat on you, about enough for them to eat."
He Yanxiu's voice was cold, and he glanced at Zou Yunqi.
Zou Yunqi understood, stretched out his hand and touched his nose, "I don't think there is any need to interrogate, just throw it out to feed the wolf, as for the person who instructed him...... The paper can't hold the fire, and it comes out sooner or later. ”
"Speaking of which, I heard that the wolves in this paddock are the most interesting, when they eat meat on weekdays, they like to eat slowly, eat some and keep some, and it is estimated that after the wolf eats two meals, you can still see whether your leg bones are thick or thin, but it's okay, and when you wait for the third meal, it is estimated that it will be eaten by the wolf, and you don't know the pain."
When the words fell, a guard stepped forward to drag the little eunuch out.
The little eunuch was so frightened that his face changed and changed, he broke free from the guard's hand, and hurriedly knocked his head again, "The little one confesses, the little one tells the truth, the little one tells the truth......
"The one who instructed the little one to dispose of the three watches of the Yama King Grass was not the Third Highness, it was a guard named Zhuang Shoucheng!"
"Zhuang Shoucheng?" Qin Yishu asked, "Who is that?" Why does he instruct you to dispose of these things? ”
The little eunuch replied in a panic, "He is a guard beside His Highness, and he is also a good face in front of His Highness, before this evening, he found the little one, gave the little one a lot of gold and silver, and promised to bring the little brother to find a position in the capital, and let the little one dispose of these things." ”
"The little one was blinded by lard for a while, so he should make up for it, but the little one was also very worried about what would happen if the deeds were revealed, Zhuang Shoucheng didn't care, and only said that if someone found out, he only said that he was instructed by the Third Highness to ......"
"The little ones are telling the truth, please see the emperor, please check the emperor."
The little eunuch kowtowed to the ground, and only red blood flowed from his forehead, which was shocking to see.
"You two, go and interrogate Zhuang Shoucheng quickly!" Qin Yishu shouted.
"Yes!"
He Yanxiu and Zou Yunqi both responded.
Go out, take people, interrogate......
Zhuang Shoucheng didn't admit it at first, but when he saw the little eunuch and those three watches of the Yama King grass, he summoned the whole thing to clean up.
He didn't know much about medicine, but he happened to see the three watches of the Yama grass in front of the imperial doctor, and knew its toxicity.
Zhuang Shoucheng is one of Qin Peiyuan's guards, and he is not taken seriously, and because of his slightly inferior skills, he is often looked down upon, so he is often depressed in his heart.
After arriving at the paddock this time, Zhuang Shoucheng was once again ridiculed for his poor skills, and Qin Peiyuan did not achieve much results on the first day of hunting, so he scolded all the accompanying guards, and Zhuang Shoucheng had a plan in his heart.
Steal the three watches of Yama grass from the imperial doctor's treasury, mix it with silver needles and boil them together, so that the silver needles are contaminated with enough poison, and when Qin Peiyuan is not prepared, he pierces the silver needles into the horse he is riding, so that the horses can go crazy.
"According to Zhuang Shou's generation, he did not do this to murder His Highness, but to make His Highness startled, and when His Highness panicked, he rescued him and tamed the crazy wild horse, so as to make meritorious contributions and win His Highness's trust and reward."
"It's just that I never thought that the toxicity of the three watches of the Yama Grass was so strong, and the horses in the Western Regions were strong and uncontrollable, so it caused such a tragedy, Zhuang Shoucheng was scared enough, and he also felt that as soon as this matter came out, the emperor would definitely ask someone to carefully consider the matter, so he hurriedly asked people to dispose of those things."
He Yan cultivated, "Fang Cai Weichen and Commander Zou followed His Highness again to carefully confirm that it was indeed Zhuang Shoucheng who followed His Highness closely at that time, and the other guards around His Highness also explained that this Zhuang Shoucheng had indeed had a long-standing grudge with many people. ”
Qin Yishu stretched out his hand and rubbed his swollen temples, "Zhuang Shoucheng, as a guard, did not abide by his duty to protect the safety of his master, but put his master in danger in order to seek glory and wealth, he really deserved to die, Zhuang Shoucheng and the little eunuch he instructed the five horses to divide the corpses, the men in the family were all beheaded, and the women were confiscated into the official slaves." ”
