Chapter 378: Incoherent, Nine Clans Tired
Horse House, in the birthday banquet.
At this moment, Guanglu Temple Qing Zhangge and other officials and dignitaries all looked up at the royal princess in shock.
No one thought that this princess, who was blatantly despised by Mrs. Zhang of Jingyuan Bofu, would be so violent.
From exposing the lies and weakness of the horse Wang Zeng, to today's birthday star Mrs. Zhang being scared to vomit blood, she directly gave the most fatal blow to Jingyuan Bofu.
Princess Jingshan married at the age of fifteen, and now she is less than forty.
Although it is the category of old women in this era, there are crow's feet on her face, and her posture is mediocre, but her skin is extremely well maintained, and the whole person gives people an extremely kind feeling.
It's just that at this moment, her whole person is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, and in the face of this old woman who has bullied her for twenty-four years, she gave the most powerful response.
Although Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she vomited blood, she did not feel guilty in her heart, and some were just to relieve her hatred.
It's the other way around! It's the other way around!
Mrs. Zhang was held up, and she didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that she was "offended" by Princess Jingshan, and she even felt the fear of the Nine Clans being punished, and muttered incoherently.
Finished!
Similar to Mrs. Zhang's mentality, although many people in Jingyuan Bofu did not know the truth, they also deeply felt the horror of the Nine Clans being punished.
Whining......
Jingyuan Bofu has now developed into a big family, and the female dependents who were still in high spirits just now had their faces like earth, and many of the female dependents sobbed in a low voice.
At this moment, as if a catastrophe was about to befall the Horse Mansion, the large group of people in the Nine Clans found that their fate was no longer under their control.
But it doesn't matter if they are high earls, or concubines who have married princesses, or they are already rich. Once the king sends additional people to assassinate the emperor, then all of them will be guillotined.
"Jingshan, today is my mother's birthday, I am very happy in my heart, why not hold a fan in my hand? But you, who disrespect your mother-in-law so much, and even framed your husband to assassinate the emperor, do you know what three obedience and four virtues are? Wang Zeng found a reason for his behavior, and then angrily raised his fan and accused.
Princess Jingshan looked at the man who had been in bed with her for twenty-four years, and at this moment, she was even more convinced that Wang Zeng was extremely weak-hearted: "Mother-in-law? If it weren't for you, how could this palace be a dignified princess, how could she call this kind of woman mother-in-law? How can he be willing to suffer the anger of these twenty-four years! Today's events are all because of you! This palace knows that you are very conceited, and you have always regarded yourself as Zhibi Kongming, but you did something wrong this time, and you were very wrong. The Ming royal family will not allow you to interfere with an outsider, let alone send someone to assassinate the emperor. ”
Everyone has a bottom line of patience, and now Wang Zeng actually wants to change the situation by assassinating the emperor, which has touched her forbidden area.
As for her relationship with Wang Zeng, after learning that Wang Zeng was raising a son outside, even if Wang Zeng didn't know that this son was not biological, but most of her heart was dead.
Today, seeing Wang Zeng's words and deeds, seeing that he was arranged to accompany him at the last seat and not saying a word, it seemed that there was only King Xing alone in his eyes, so he saw through this man who once made him obsessed.
Maybe the emperor is right, since she is the princess of the Zhu family, she must have the style of the princess of the Zhu family.
Song Cheng has always stood in front of Princess Jingshan, and now he can't help but re-examine this very low-key princess.
Originally, he wanted to send the princess back to the princess's mansion by order to keep the princess away from this bloody case, but he didn't expect that Princess Jingshan was stronger than he imagined, and he personally stood up to defend the royal family.
"Jingshan, you said that Ben Ma sent people to assassinate the emperor, what is the evidence?" Wang Zeng realized that he had been despising his very ordinary-looking wife, so he grabbed the last glimmer of hope and asked loudly.
Assassinating the emperor, he knew very well the consequences of this matter, and the consequences of defeat were really too great, and he hesitated for a long time before deciding to take a risk.
Although this time I was silently promoting this plan behind the scenes, like last year's smallpox epidemic, I used a single line of contact, and it was impossible to find out my own head.
Although it is not clear why Song Cheng found him so quickly, he said that Song Cheng had control of the evidence that he had assassinated the emperor, and he did not believe it.
Hey?
When Guanglu Temple Qing Zhangge and other officials and magnates heard Wang Zeng's request for evidence, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Princess Jingshan.
Although it is indeed a bit strange for Wang Zeng to use a fan in this weather, now it not only involves horses, but also related to Jingyuan Bofu, and Wang Zeng cannot be buttoned up to assassinate the emperor because of this.
It is precisely because of this that if you want to convince the people of the world that the king of the horse sent more people to assassinate the emperor, you really have to put the evidence out to have credibility.
Princess Jingshan's brows furrowed slightly, but when she saw the hand that Wang Zengchao stretched out to her, she was even more convinced that her guess was not wrong.
It was at this moment that a brocade-clothed guard hurriedly came, and then whispered two words in Song Cheng's ear.
What happened?
At this moment, the birthday banquet hall seemed to be audible, and everyone present noticed Jin Yiwei's actions, and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Song Cheng curiously.
Song Cheng seemed to be secretly relieved, and faced Wang Zeng, who questioned the evidence, and said: "Wang Yuma, if you want evidence, this mansion Yin will let you die clearly!" Someone is coming, and the horse will be escorted back to the Shuntianfu prison immediately! ”
Is it really Wang Zeng's doing?
Seeing that Song Cheng's attitude had become so tough, Guanglu Temple Qing Zhang Ge and other officials and magnates immediately realized that Song Cheng had already mastered substantial evidence, and couldn't help but look at Wang Zeng in surprise.
"Ridiculous! Absurd! You simply can't have proof? If you don't explain the matter clearly and put your evidence out, don't think about going back to the Shuntian Mansion with you! Wang Zeng was quickly arrested by the two arresters, but he resisted loudly.
Although his plan to assassinate the emperor this time failed, how could he not erase all traces of his ability to form such a powerful organization in the capital, and to be able to operate in the capital for many years?
Especially this time, he did not arrange the dead soldiers in his captivity, but looked for real outlaws from the outside.
Because of this, not only did he not see the killer himself, but he didn't even know what the killer looked like, even if the killer wanted to, he couldn't bite his body.
Although he didn't know which link went wrong, he knew that Song Cheng would never be able to control the evidence of his assassination of the emperor, especially if he wanted to convict himself in such a short time.
"There is simply no evidence? Wang Concubine, you are revealing your stuffing again! Song Cheng caught the flaw again, looked at Wang Zeng's eyes coldly, and said: "Only if you feel that the matter is revealed and you can't find your body, you emphasize the evidence so much." If you are really wronged, you will not dwell on the evidence, but should keep shouting injustice, and even suspect that the government or the emperor is retaliating against you. ”
Hey?
Guanglu Temple Qing Zhangge and other officials and magnates carefully tasted Song Cheng's words, and found that they were really as Song Cheng speculated, and they couldn't help but increase their suspicion of Wang Zeng a little.
Not to mention the past, now Wang Zeng and Xingwang Zhu Youqi are so close, there is indeed a major suspicion, once the current emperor is assassinated, although the biggest beneficiary is King Xing, but the status of Wang Zeng will also rise.
Although there is indeed no substantive evidence now, judging from Wang Zeng's close proximity to King Xing and his current reaction, I am afraid that it is really not the well-known Song Cheng framed.
However, many people don't understand that Wang Zeng is a descendant of Jingyuan Bofu, he has been extremely talented since he was a child, and he married the princess of the dynasty, why did he get involved in the battle of the court?
"This horse heard of your Song Cheng's reputation for selflessness, so he repeatedly asked for evidence. But I don't want you to be like the eunuch of Dongchang today, ignoring the facts in order to achieve your goal, what are you Song Qingtian, you are clearly Song Heixin! Wang Zeng knew that he had exposed his feet again, but he soon wanted to come back.
Zhao Dayan, the head catcher, stepped forward to arrest people and was blocked, and when he heard Wang Zeng slandering his adult like this, his fiery temper was not controlled, and he immediately punched Wang Zeng in the abdomen.
When did Wang Zeng receive this kind of treatment, his voice stopped abruptly, and the whole person bent down like a shrimp.
Zhao Dayan grabbed Wang Zeng's back collar and said viciously: "You don't want to discredit my family, do you really think you are doing it very secretly?" As early as when you haven't found the killer Chen Wancang, our adults have already found the Song Mansion in Anfufang and know that someone is secretly digging tunnels! ”
Although on the surface, the security of Xiyuan is very high, but it is actually a level lower than the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City is not only located in the center of the imperial city, but also has more than a dozen layers of floor tiles on the ground. Even if some thieves can dig under the Forbidden City, it is almost impossible to dig through the floor tiles on the ground.
On the other hand, no matter how tightly guarded the West Garden, it is only a royal garden after all. Except for the palace roads and palaces in some areas, most of the areas are not blocked by floor tiles.
Of course, the situation in the West Garden is more special, because the Yangxin Hall is located in the east, and the center is an 800-acre Taiye Pool, thus preventing the tunnel from reaching the Yangxin Palace.
If they wanted to assassinate the emperor, they could only dig tunnels to reach the west bank of the Taiye Pool, and then find a way to go to the east bank of the Taiye Pool, so that they could have a chance to assassinate the emperor.
Wang Zeng took advantage of the flaws in Xiyuan, and as early as last year, he had already started a plan to assassinate the emperor and dig a tunnel leading to Xiyuan from Anfufang.
Originally, he planned to buy the house under a false name, but Song Yuanwai was unwilling to rent out the ancestral house, and he finally seized the Song house by setting fire to it.
After all, what he needed was not that mansion, he just needed to borrow the ground of the Song Mansion as the entrance to the tunnel, and it didn't matter whether the Song Mansion was good or bad.
It's just that people are not as good as heaven, they met a dedicated Shuntian Mansion Yin, and Song Cheng became the biggest variable.
Although Wang Zeng did a perfect job of extinguishing the Song Mansion, it was just that the fire took dozens of lives, which was always a knot in Song Cheng's heart.
Last year, a common man named Niu Daring rented a house nearby, but he had a dispute with Yazi because of the haunting of the abandoned Song Mansion next to him. If the matter falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that it will be hastily handled, but Song Cheng attaches importance to it.
After investigation, it was learned that the area outside the Xi'an Gate was known to be haunted, and even many residents moved out.
Song Cheng realized that there must be another article here, especially when he came to the palace wall of Xiyuan, which made him smell the smell of conspiracy. Under some dark tones, I learned that someone was secretly digging a tunnel.
The intention of digging a tunnel there is self-evident.
If it were an ordinary emperor encountering this kind of thing, I am afraid that he would have already ordered a clean-up, but when Emperor Hongzhi learned of this, he chose to put a long line to catch a big fish.
Tunnel?
When Guanglu Temple Qing Zhangge and other officials and dignitaries heard the information revealed by Zhao Dayan, they finally knew that the assassination at this moment was not more reasonable, and there were forces that used resources to dig tunnels and infiltrate the palace to assassinate the emperor.
Already known?
When Wang Zeng heard this key piece of information, he was completely stunned.
Just now, his biggest reliance was that the other party had no evidence, after all, he acted carefully, even if the killer Chen Wancang was captured, it would be impossible to find his body.
It's just that if people already know about his conspiracy, then all the methods he arranged earlier may not be useful, and he may really have been exposed.
Song Cheng saw Wang Zeng with a shocked face, and waved his hand gently: "Why do you think this Mansion Yin came to your Horse Mansion for the first time!" Immediately escort the horse back to Shuntian Mansion, where the house is sealed, and all personnel are not allowed to leave! ”
"Seal the house?"
"Not leaving?"
"Hey, hey, this official has nothing to do with him Wang Zeng!"
……
After hearing that Song Cheng actually wanted to trap everyone who was attending the birthday banquet here, some officials and magnates who had nothing to do with Wang Zeng couldn't sit still, but they protested one after another.
"The stakes are so high that all guests are going to stay here for the time being! After the Yin of this mansion reports to His Majesty, we will verify your identities and release you at that time! Song Cheng knew that Wang Zeng's punishment of the Nine Clans was a sure thing, but he didn't plan to abscond because of his negligence in his work, so he demanded very strongly.
Not only did Guanglu Temple Qing Zhangge and other officials panic, but even Qiu Jun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't sit still: "Song Cheng, you ...... You are abusing your power! ”
"The Emperor is the Lord of the people, and even if the Emperor does not have any heirs in the future, he will be our King! Now the thieves assassinate the emperor, and you are not greeting at Xiyuan Gate, but here as the king of Xingxing. Now that the thief is here, if you really have the heart to serve the country loyally, you should not make trouble at this time, but reflect on why you went to the thief's banquet? Song Cheng's eyes swept over King Xing, who was fidgeting in front of him, but he sharply accused.
As soon as these words came out, the officials present silently lowered their heads.
They really came to the wrong place, even if they didn't participate in the plot to assassinate the emperor, but what they came to participate in today was the birthday banquet of the Horse Mansion after all, and now they can only consider themselves unlucky.
Many officials realized that their careers were likely to be affected by today, and they gritted their teeth with hatred for Wang Zeng at the moment.
If it was okay for other crimes, but now they dare to assassinate the emperor, this is likely to become the biggest black spot in their career. This concubine is really harmful, and if Jingyuan Bofu is punished by the Nine Clans, a large number of officials and nobles will have to ruin their future. (End of chapter)
