Did Emperor Yongqing not summon Chen Yue'an into the palace, is this still necessary?

"Prince Gong has something to say?"

Prince Gong bowed his hand to the emperor with a blushing face: "Brother Huang, that thief broke into Prince Gong's mansion late at night and wanted to assassinate his younger brother, why did his younger brother order someone to kill him?" As for Shen Sitang, she didn't come in from the main gate of the palace, but broke in from the roof, she must be in the same group as the thief, Brother Huang, her words are not credible! ”

Emperor Yongqing looked at Shen Sitang with a headache: "How do you explain?" ”

Shen Sitang was calm: "Your Majesty, the courtiers know that they did not kill the county lord of Poria, it must be someone else, after several investigations, they finally found out the fact that Prince Gong ordered someone to transcribe the register, Prince Gong obviously has a ghost in his heart, and he will definitely find a way to destroy the corpse, so the courtiers and Zuo Yushi visited Prince Gong's mansion at night, and found that Prince Gong dug up Shen Yi's body, the courtiers and Zuo Yushi discussed separate actions, he went back to the inspectorate to call people, and the courtiers stayed to continue to star, but Shen Zhen's brother came to rob the corpse, and the courtiers saw that Prince Gong's subordinates wanted to kill him, He had to show up in advance, so as not to cut off the clue from him. ”

She is reasonable, and Emperor Yongqing can't find fault with it.

Prince Gong trembled with anger.

Mu Huaichuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Jun Tingyan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

Governor Yu Shi Fu Yun said: "Your Majesty, the thief in Prince Gong's mouth is now in the Inspectorate, a spirit rune master, and he has confessed that he killed the Lord of Poria in order to avenge her sister. ”

Prince Gong gritted his teeth: "Fu Yun! How can you listen to the thief's words! ”

Fu Yun smiled elegantly, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Inspectorate has ascertained the identity of this person, and he is indeed the brother of Shen Yi, the maid of Prince Gong's Mansion. ”

Emperor Yongqing grasped the point: "Spirit Rune Master? Do you know what school he was taught from? ”

Fu Yun smiled lightly: "This person values love and righteousness, and refuses to tell his master, I think he doesn't want to cause trouble to his master." ”

Jun Tingyan looked at Fu Yun, when he was in the Inspectorate, he personally told him that the spirit rune master was a personal disciple of Qingfeng Guan Chongde Zhenren, but now he was vague, not only did not say that he didn't know, but also appropriately concealed his identity.

Emperor Yongqing didn't ask any more questions, thinking that if that person was a prominent teacher, he would definitely report himself to his family to seek refuge.

It seems that there is no need to ask any more questions about the case of the county lord of Poria, Emperor Yongqing pondered for a moment and said: "The county lord of Poria cocos grew up under my watch, and I didn't expect to do such a thing. ”

When Prince Gong heard this, he immediately cried out: "Brother Huang, although Poria is not sensible, she is not the kind of ruthless person, it must be that cheap maid who provokes her, and she will miss it for a while..."

He didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious, this matter didn't make a slap, it was the maid's fault first, and the county lord of Poria was not to blame.

Shen Sitang shook his head and smiled, at this time, Prince Gong still wanted to maintain the reputation of the county lord of Poria Cocos?

When Prince Gong heard Shen Sitang's laughter, he immediately looked at her, only to see that there was not a single tear on his face, and the cry just now was loud.

Shen Sitang met his gaze without fear: "Prince Gong, that is to say, you have long known that the person who killed the Lord of Poria was not me. ”

Prince Gong snorted: "You have to protect that thief to the death, who knows if you are an accomplice with him!" ”

Shen Sitang said frankly: "The courtiers protect him in order to investigate the case, but Prince Gong previously denied the fact that the county lord of Poria tortured and killed the maid in front of His Majesty, and now he admits it, isn't he guilty of bullying the king?" ”

"You!" Prince Gong was so angry that he was about to smoke, subconsciously looked at Emperor Yongqing, and immediately explained when he saw him frowning: "Brother Huang, the younger brother didn't know at first, the younger brother asked about the roster, it was Poria who ordered them to do it, and then Poria was killed, and the minions hurriedly transcribed the roster and took it to the dining room to burn, which was found by Shen Sitang and them, and the younger brother also knew one or two after returning to the house that day to ask questions, and planned to dig up the body of the maid to find out, but he didn't think that the thief broke in, and Shen Sitang also followed, Naturally, the courtiers thought they were complicit. ”

Prince Gong coped with it like a stream, and he should have thought of various countermeasures a long time ago.

Emperor Yongqing doesn't ask whether it's true or not, even if Prince Gong already knows? Could it be that he was guilty? Then make everything public, and let the royal affairs become the talk of the people in the capital after dinner?

Shen Sitang saw that the emperor was silent, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something, and he knew in his heart that he was disappointed, I was afraid that Emperor Yongqing would cover up his evil deeds for the sake of royal face.

In the Yan Dynasty, where imperial power is supreme, she has no way to influence the emperor's decision, so what she has to do now is to let the emperor admit that it is true that the lord of Poria cocos tortured and killed the maid, and it is right to invite the disaster of killing, and it is natural to kill people, and the little Taoist priest should be acquitted!

As for Shen Yi's justice, she will ask Prince Gong for it!

Shen Sitang clenched his fists, and was about to say something to exonerate Wuchou, but was preempted by Jun Tingyan.

"Father, how can what Prince Gong and Uncle Gong say inconsistent? Since he knew the reason why Poria was killed, he should have understood that he had wronged Shen Sitang before, and after Shen Sitang appeared, why did he think that she and the maid's brother were accomplices? It is impossible for Shen Sitang to know the maid in the courtyard of Poria, let alone know that the other party also has a spirit rune senior brother, how can he conspire with him? ”

Shen Sitang looked at Jun Tingyan with bright eyes, and really wanted to pat him on the shoulder and give him a thumbs up, and praise him affirmatively: Well done!

Emperor Yongqing pinched his eyebrows, and he had a headache even more.

He threw the question out: "Prince Gong, how do you explain?" ”

Prince Gong was speechless for a while, pondered for a moment before saying: "Brother Huang, it was so sudden at that time, and the younger brother still had doubts, coupled with the heartache of the bereaved daughter, where could the thief who was suspected of being a murderer think so much, and only thought about avenging Poria cocos." ”

Emperor Yongqing nodded slowly, with a look of approval.

Shen Sitang saw that Emperor Yongqing was so partial, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, the courtier..."

"Alright." Emperor Yongqing interrupted her impatiently, and said in a deep voice: "I know that you have found out the truth, and I will reward you for your merits, as for the lord of Poria County, no matter what the reason, she should not abuse and kill the maid, she killed the maid, and the maid's brother killed her again, although it is said that one life is worth one life, but the spirit rune master is wrong not to seek revenge privately, doesn't this regard the Yan Dynasty Wang Fa as nothing?" I won't kill him, but I can't escape the crime, so I'll let him go after beating him fifty boards. ”

When Shen Sitang heard the fifty boards, he hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Majesty, Shen Zhen's brother was seriously injured in Prince Gong's mansion, if he hits the fifty boards again, what is the difference between killing him?" Please be gracious, Your Majesty! ”

Emperor Yongqing's face turned cold: "I have pardoned his capital crime, what else do you want?" ”

Shen Sitang knew that she shouldn't say it again, but if she didn't say it, the little Taoist priest would be beaten to death!

"Your Majesty, don't reward the courtiers, just ask Your Majesty to give Shen Zhen's brother a way to live!"

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Yongqing got up and picked up the inkstone on the bookcase and smashed it towards Shen Sitang.
