Chapter 39: The Wasp's Tail Needle
The dagger in Long Tu's hand was the dagger that Chen Ke had asked him to see before.
"This dagger?"
Long Tu looked at Chen Ke in surprise, shouldn't this dagger be used as evidence for Chen Ke, stay in the court, and wait to arrest the middle-aged man who assassinated Chen Ke?
How did it come to the hands of Princess Jinde!
Chen Ke saw the dagger and looked at it carefully, and he immediately felt even more surprised, this was the dagger that the middle-aged man assassinated him.
"This dagger should be in the back office, and it takes time for a few painters to paint the patterns on it, so they stay in the back office." Chen Ke was even more surprised.
Long Tu looked at one of the guards beside him and said, "Go to the back office to find the painter and ask about the dagger." β
The dagger was brought by Chen Ke, and he already knew about it with many people in the yamen, and of course they also knew about Chen Ke's assassination.
The white guard looked at the dagger with a look of surprise on his face, he had just dealt with Chen Ke's matter, and he had also seen this dagger.
The doctor came over and said, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, and it will take several months of recuperation." β
Long Tu said: "Trouble doctor." β
"Your Excellency is gracious." After the doctor finished speaking, he arched his hand with Long Tu, and took the subordinates of the princess's mansion to grab the medicine.
At this moment, there are already many people around the entrance of the alley, including people from the yamen, soldiers and horses patrolling the city, and people watching the excitement.
"What happened?"
"I heard that the princess was stabbed."
"Who?"
"Princess Kinder."
"Yes!"
"Shhh
β¦β¦
The painter of the yamen followed the guards, and not only one painter, but the front part of the painter who participated in the painting of the dagger was called over.
Chen Ke saw a few painters, his eyes were a little unkind, if the dagger that pierced Princess Jinde's abdomen was a middle-aged man's dagger, then a painter just handed over the dagger to Princess Jinde and asked her to calculate herself.
Long Tu glanced at Chen Ke and asked him to calm down. He took the dagger and showed it to a few painters, and asked, "Isn't this thing already placed in your painter's place for you to wait for the portrait, why does it appear in Chen Ke's hands?" β
Several painters looked at each other, and one of them said, "A messenger came to wait for us to finish painting, and took the dagger back, saying that Master Chen Ke was useful." I didn't look into it in detail, so I returned the dagger to Master Chen. β
"Errand officer?" Long Tu was suddenly surprised and said, "Do you know what he looks like." You also often work in the yamen, how can you not know the yamen's servants! β
The painter said: "I don't know, it's a living person, but we can draw it." β
Long Tu said: "Go and paint immediately." β
The official of the princess's mansion on the opposite side walked over, bowed to Long Tu, and said, "Lord Long, please put this fang in prison for good life." Dare to assassinate the princess, this official will definitely show His Majesty and the Queen Mother! Treat him for a big crime and behead him! β
Long Tu took a small step forward and said, "This lord, Chen Ke is a seventh-rank military attachΓ©, a third-class palace guard, if you want to take him, you still need to show your majesty, and this matter is full of suspicions, and it needs to be seriously tried." β
"What else is suspicious, under the gaze of so many people, he is holding a dagger and sticking it into the ...... How can it be false to be rude to the princess. The official of the princess's mansion looked at Long Tu with anger on his face, and did not back down at all: "Does Lord Long want to shield his subordinates and bend the law for personal gain?" β
"You fart, you hairless father-in-law, your princess inserts herself and wants to blame me. I ask, who saw me stabbing the princess? I'm afraid all they see is me holding the princess, right? β
The priest's face darkened.
Chen Ke sneered, he didn't have a mouth, as far as you would say, he was dumb?
Long Tu looked at Sun Zhutou: "But so?" β
Sun Zhutou said: "I really didn't see Chen Ke assassinating, but someone from the princess's mansion came to call us, saying that Chen Ke was plotting against the princess, so we rushed over, and when we came, we only saw the princess with a dagger in her abdomen, and Chen Ke was holding her." β
"Isn't this enough, if you don't insert the princess, why do you want to hold her?" The official of the princess's mansion sneered and looked at Chen Ke with a cold face.
Chen Ke said: "This official is the front guard of the palace, His Majesty's personal guard, the princess is injured, of course I have to treat it." It's a subordinate of your princess's mansion, because I beheaded the horse with my own hands, and I was resentful, so I wanted to slander me. β
Chen Ke's voice spread throughout the alleys, and the onlookers nodded after hearing it.
"Lord Chen Ke is a good official, he killed that wolf-hearted colt and eliminated harm for the people, I don't think Lord Chen Ke assassinated the princess."
"I think so, Lord Chen Ke is Lord Long's subordinate, and he won't do bad things."
Seeing this, the maid of the princess's mansion said, "You lied, you had an adulterous affair with the Qin family, so you wanted to harm the princess." β
Chen Ke had murderous intent in his eyes, and glanced at the maid, who was frightened by Chen Ke's eyes and leaned into the crowd slightly.
"I see that you were slept with by your colt and wanted to avenge him, so you came to wronged me. A few of you maids who are princesses are not less than sleeping on horses. After all, it's a colt, handsome, and powerful, and you have already swept the couch to welcome you. β
Chen Ke made it up as soon as he spoke, he couldn't do it now, so he moved his mouth, these maids slandered Chen Ke, and Chen Ke also slandered him back.
has a mouth, so it depends on who is more good at spreading rumors!
"You sluts, you have the ability to take off your clothes, so that everyone can see your innocence."
Chen Ke said disdainfully.
Several maids changed their colors slightly after hearing this, and the eyes of the yamen catchers next to them lit up, and one of them said: "I think it's okay, you can know if you are innocent or not." I have been in the land of smoke and willows for a long time, and I have a lot of experience in this area, and I invite my lord to verify it. β
The official of the princess's mansion said coldly: "Presumptuous! If they were innocent, would they have executed Chen Ke on the spot! β
"Nonsense." Long Tu scolded the catcher, and the catcher retreated into the crowd stupidly, but the other catchers laughed out loud.
These fast catchers are not fools, everyone knows the contradiction between Chen Ke and the princess's mansion, and now Lord Long thinks that Chen Ke is not a murderer, so Chen Ke must not be a murderer.
Everyone is from Jingzhao Mansion, what princess mansion are you afraid of!
Of course, it's to help your own people.
The princess's official thought to himself, taking this opportunity to let a maid strip and verify it, and condemn Chen Ke to death. He walked back and talked to a few of the maids, who shook their heads when they heard the drastic change in color behind him.
"Are you unwilling to sacrifice for the sake of the princess!" The official of the princess's mansion suppressed his voice, with a chill on his face.
A maid said, "My lord, we ...... We are no longer innocent. β
"What!"
The princess's mansion official was shocked, as a maid in the princess's mansion, but the girls selected since childhood, they were not married, how to lose their virginity.
Finished!
It was really said by Chen Ke!
Chen Ke looked at the princess's mansion official muttering over there, he guessed that the other party wanted to use the innocence of the maid to calculate him, but the other party seemed to have not said anything, and was still muttering.
Chen Ke's heart lit up, and he understood a little.
He said to Long Tu: "My lord, just the maid who speaks the most ruthlessly, if she is innocent, she is willing to bear the injustice of assassinating the princess!" Stick in the black pot for the princess's head and bear it yourself! β
"Don't you dare!" Chen Ke looked to the other side.
"Presumptuous, the maid of the princess's mansion is the princess's personal person, how can you let you check, if you want to check, it will also be checked by the female officials in the palace." The princess's official drank.
Seeing this, Long Tu could also see the arrogance of the officials of the princess's mansion, and nodded: "Take Chen Ke back to the mansion first, and then explore after the inspection of the mansion." You escort the princess back first, and take care of the princess. β
Long Tu is not an ordinary person, as a member of the first rank of the dynasty, the emperor is not there, and his words are the biggest order.
The people of the princess's mansion could only obey the order and go back with the injured princess.
Here, Long Tu also returned to Jingzhao Mansion with Chen Ke, and for a while, the entire capital knew about Chen Ke's assassination of the princess. The emperor also sent eunuchs in the palace to temporarily confine Chen Ke in Jingzhao Mansion, suspend him and wait for the investigation of the charges before reinstatement.
Back in the house, Chen Ke told Long Tu about the matter.
After hearing this, several guards said angrily: "Princess Jinde is so narrow-minded, my lord, please send someone to arrest Princess Jinde and ask for the crime." β
Long Tu shook his head and said, "There is no evidence, you can't catch her." She has a calculating mind, and she can only say that our Jingzhao Mansion has her spies, and she has succeeded her! β
Zhang Huwei said: "My lord, what should Chen Ke do, did he wronged him?" β
Long Tu said: "Don't worry, the evidence is insufficient, Chen Ke and the princess still have a personal vendetta, I can't catch her fault, and I can't convict Chen Ke." β
Chen Ke said: "She not only wants to harm me, she also wants to discredit Sister-in-law Qin, these days the city is scolding the horse for being ungrateful and unkind, she wants to make Sister-in-law Qin's reputation stinky and whitewash Chen Ying's reputation." β
Several of the other guards were shocked, but they were helpless.
Now, the most evidence still points to Chen Ke, and he needs Long Tu to help him clear his grievances. Fortunately, the emperor was very optimistic about Chen Ke, otherwise he would have put Chen Ke in prison and would have been beheaded.
East Side.
Family.
"Miss. Chen Ke's son has an accident! The maid hurried to talk about the great events that had taken place in the city.
Gu Yanshan, Gu Yuanjiang, Gu Lanshui, father and daughter were all there, after listening to the maid's story, Gu Yuanjiang frowned slightly, but Gu Yanshan stood up: "Father, forget about this banquet at night, the emperor has issued a decree to ban him, it seems that his official career is over." β
Gu Lanshui said: "Sister, this is not Brother Chen or is it just a suspicion, no conviction, take a look?" β
"Don't look at it, let's invite Brother Zhang's brother to the dinner." After Gu Yanshan finished speaking, she walked down.
Gu Lanshui looked at Gu Yuanjiang, and Gu Yuanjiang shook his head slightly.
"Alas, what your sister said is that I thought he was a boy with a bright future, who knew that it was crazy to dare to assassinate the princess."
Gu Yuanjiang's words made Gu Lanshui helpless for a while, and Gu Lanshui said: "It's not that it's not undecided. β
"Don't mention this matter again, and don't see him again, the province and the Gu family will bring disaster."
β¦β¦
Princess's House.
Dressed in a long red dress and wearing a golden pearl hairpin, Princess Jinde had a vicious smile on her beautiful face, and she walked lightly towards the sweaty middle-aged man on the side.
"Gong Si, well done!"
