Chapter 359: Confession
Raiding Zhang's house is a heavy job, but He Qingxiao did it himself, did not relax at all, but interrogated Zhang Shoufu and others and handed them over to his subordinates.
This is a little strange in the eyes of many people, but now everyone is in danger, lest Zhang Shoufu's case snowball into it, and they don't say much honestly.
Zhang Zhai didn't find what he wanted, and He Qingxiao went to Zhang Yuchen's residence again.
Zhang Yuchen's study looked clean and neat, but as soon as he walked in, He Qingxiao felt that something was wrong.
Some are too neat.
The study room that is often used, no matter how particular the person is, the pen and ink on the desk, the stacked paper, and the guqin are more or less arbitrary.
Knocking on the wall and inspecting the lattice, I found a pile of unused letterpaper in a nondescript drawer.
Along with the stationery was a small stamp.
He Qingxiao turned the seal over to reveal the bottom, and it was a deformed word "Jun". This corresponds to the imprint on Zhou Tong's left letters.
However, the search continued, but no correspondence was found in the study.
He Qingxiao stared at the black ash on his fingers, which was found in the gap between the corner of the wall and the bookcase.
He quickly made a judgment: Zhang Yuchen's study was not a secret letter without correspondence with people, but was burned.
Thinking about Zhang Yuchen's escape in the middle of the night, he knew that he was in a hurry to deal with the letters at that time, and it was said that the study would be a mess, and it seemed that the study was cleaned up by Zhang Yuchen's wife Wang later.
After a careful search, and found no useful clues, He Qingxiao returned to Beizhen Fusi with the letter paper and seal.
"My lord, Zhang Youming and Zhang Yuchen's uncle and nephew had a fierce conflict. In order to prevent accidents, the two were separated. ”
"What's the cause?"
"Zhang Youming has been scolding Zhang Yuchen for being a pig and a dog, Zhang Yuchen may have broken the jar, and even said that Zhang Youming's son was killed by him......"
He Qingxiao was silent.
He guessed that there was a dirt relationship between the uncle and nephew, but he didn't expect it to be so amazing.
He Qingxiao went to see Zhang Shoufu first.
Not long ago, Zhang Shoufu was still old and strong, but at this time, people deeply understand what it means to be in the last years.
His hair was in a bun, his face had not been washed, and his eyes were cloudy.
"Chapter Shoufu." He Qingxiao spoke.
Zhang Shoufu's eyes moved, and he laughed miserably: "An old man like a prisoner should not be called so." ”
He Qingxiao said lightly: "Zhang Shoufu is an old minister who followed the present before the founding of the People's Republic of China, He doesn't want to use heavy punishment on you, just ask one thing, the first queen had an accident because you waited behind the scenes to push it, right?" ”
Zhang Shoufu was stunned, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "When did you have this suspicion?" ”
"When King Qing's side is exposed."
"Is it so early?" Chapter Shoufu muttered.
"Chapter Shoufu." He Qingxiao's tone was calm, intended to remind.
Zhang Shoufu came back to his senses, looked at the young man with particularly outstanding eyebrows and eyes for a long time, and said, "The old man can answer this question, but there is one condition. ”
"Please."
"The old man hopes that Zhang Yuchen will be executed by Ling Chi."
This inhumane thing does not deserve to die with the people of the Zhang clan.
He Qingxiao was not surprised by the conditions proposed by Zhang Shoufu, and said: "He will propose to Jinshang, as for how Jinshang decides, no one can control it." ”
"You won't coax the old decay?" Zhang Shoufu stared at him tightly and asked.
He Qingxiao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it necessary for He to coax Zhang Shoufu?" ”
Zhang Shoufu asked such a sentence more, but he was just asking for peace of mind, and quickly nodded and admitted: "Yes." ”
His only son was killed early by his serious nephew, and his grandson was also waiting for his death in this prison, and all the insistence and concealment were meaningless.
If Zhang Yuchen's beast can be cut by a thousand knives, he can also walk briskly on the Huangquan Road.
When he went to Zhang Yuchen's cell, He Qingxiao's mind would still have Zhang Shoufu's eyes full of hatred.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Yuchen glanced at the door with difficulty.
After Zhang Yuchen entered the edict prison, he experienced several common punishments in the Beizhen Fusi, which was worth the trip.
His ruthlessness was to others, not to himself, and at this time, when he saw the leader of Beizhen Fusi walking in with an expressionless face, he couldn't help but shudder.
"He just came from Zhang Shoufu, and he admitted that the first queen's accident was planned by you." He Qingxiao got straight to the point.
Zhang Yuchen lowered his eyelids and didn't react much.
Isn't it normal to be in prison, dead end, and tortured at any time?
He Qingxiao held the seal in front of him: "This Zhang Langzhong is familiar, right?" ”
Zhang Yuchen pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Zhang Langzhong's study is very clean, I don't know who else does he communicate with other people besides Zhou Tong for the letters that have stamped this seal?"
Hearing He Qingxiao mention Zhou Tong, Zhang Yuchen understood that the other party had discovered a unique mark on the letterhead, and now he was asking him to confess to his comrades.
"Zhang Langzhong has thought about it, whether to endure some hardships and then talk about it, or to explain it happily. Especially think about whether others are worth your pain. He Qingxiao's flat tone was full of warning.
For example, Zhang Yuchen, a person who thoroughly pursues "people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will be destroyed", it is appropriate to use these words as a warning.
Zhang Yuchen lowered his head and thought for a long time, looking disheartened: "I said ......"
As he reported his names one by one, the content on the paper became more and more, and the scribe who was in charge of recording was a little unsteady with his pen.
"Anything else?" After Zhang Yuchen stopped, He Qingxiao asked.
Zhang Yuchen shook his head slowly.
"In that case—" He Qingxiao glanced at Yan Chao, "Entertain Zhang Langzhong for me." ”
Yan Chao stood in front of Zhang Yuchen with a gloomy face, and soon a miserable scream sounded.
After a few greetings, there were some more names on the paper.
Soon after Xin Yu received the summons to enter the palace, he heard a report from the chamberlain that Jinlin Weibei Town's envoy He Qingxiao asked to see him.
Emperor Xingyuan hurriedly said: "Ayu, you go to the garden first." ”
I don't really want Ayu to have more contact with that kid.
"Lord He asked to see him at this time, it should be the result of the investigation of the Zhang family. Chen is a victim of this case and wants to hear about it. Xin Yu said frankly.
This request was very legitimate, and Emperor Xingyuan had no choice but to signal the chamberlain to bring people in.
Soon He Qingxiao walked in: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty. ”
Emperor Xingyuan looked at the kneeling people with critical eyes, and said lightly: "Calm down." What happened when He Zhenfu came to the palace? ”
Hearing the title of Emperor Xingyuan, He Qingxiao secretly guessed: The emperor is in a bad mood?
In private, the emperor generally called him "Qingxiao".
Although He Qingxiao has a sharp mind, he doesn't understand that this is an old father's instinctive defense when facing a hairy boy.
"Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Youming and Zhang Yuchen have confessed that it was they who revealed the traces of the former queen to Gu Changbo...... This is a list of people who have close contacts with Zhang Youming's uncle and nephew, please take a look at it. ”
