As soon as the words "Baiyu Hutong" came out, they suddenly exploded above Zhang Shicheng's head like thunder!

He really didn't guess wrong, it was really for this case!

What kind of amazing person did Yang Dip kill? Why did it attract the emperor's personal attention?

Zhang Shicheng's internal organs began to slam, and suddenly there was a fishy sweetness in his throat, and his whole body jumped suddenly, and then he opened his eyes and looked up: "Hey, Your Majesty, time, it's been too long, the minister has been, I can't remember!" ……”

King Rong's father and son are dead, but they are all gone, but he Zhang Shicheng is still alive, isn't he a single target?

Obviously, King Rong's father and son are the main culprits, and now that they are dead, the emperor wants to ask for the guilt, and he must not come to their family?

I didn't expect King Rong's Mansion to be a big pit!

"How could you not remember?" Pei Zhan said, "Last time in the White Crane Temple, when you were chased by the 'ghosts' on the mountain, you didn't say that.

"You said that Yang Yu, the prince of King Rong, killed someone in Baiyu Hutong, and asked you to come over overnight to clean up the aftermath. So you obediently cleaned up the scene of the murder for him, and secretly took someone to look for the murder weapon around the alley for him.

"You remember all these details clearly!

"How long has it been? You don't remember? Do you remember it, or do you want to fool the emperor? ”

When Zhang Shicheng heard this, his whole face was distorted and deformed, he raised his head to look at Pei Zhan, and said in a dumb voice: "How do you know about this?" …… How would you know?! ”

"Bold!" Pei Zhan shouted, "If you still talk about him left and right, if you don't return to the emperor?!" ”

Zhang Shicheng was frightened, turned his eyes and looked at the emperor with a sinking face, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and kowtowed: "The emperor spares his life!" Although the minister helped to heal the queen, the minister didn't know anything! King Rong asked his ministers to do whatever they wanted, and the ministers did not participate in the murder at all! The emperor spares his life! ”

Zhang Huan behind him also kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Emperor Mingjian, Niangniang Mingjian!" This rabbit cub is indeed doing this at the behest of King Rong!

"It's the minister who didn't discipline him well, and the minister will definitely break his leg when he goes back! Teach him never to make mistakes in the future! ”

Zhang Shicheng did this, of course Zhang Huan knew that his son's brain was good or not, and he couldn't be a father? Soon after the incident, he found out the clues, but in his opinion, this matter is not enough to kill two people, not to mention the Rongwang Mansion, even if the person was killed by Zhang Shicheng himself, their Zhang family can hold it.

So he didn't pay attention to it for so many years.

And be content to enjoy the various foils given to the Zhang family by the Rongwang Mansion.

Who would have thought that after a few years, he would suddenly be scolded by the emperor again?

Knowing that King Rong's father and son killed people, Zhang Shicheng also helped deal with the aftermath and covered it up, saying that he was going to be convicted from the king's law.

But those two people haven't complained about the Lord for many years after their deaths, so they shouldn't be important people, right?

The emperor wanted to interrogate King Rong's father and son for this matter, but he just seized this handle and wanted to weaken the power of the palace, right?

The power of the Zhang family is not so great, there is no reason to lose your head for this!

"You still want to bring people back?!"

Zhang Huan said this plea, and the emperor slapped the table! The cup that still contained half a bowl of tea jumped up, and the tea spilled on half of the kang table.

"King Rong killed the emperor's eldest son, your Zhang family didn't report it, and conspired to conceal it, you still expect to bring him back?

"Someone! Drag Zhang Huan's father and son out first, and punish them with twenty rods! ”

As soon as the emperor's words came out, the whole hall shook except for Pei Zhan!

Not only because of the emperor's anger, but also because of the sentence "the emperor's eldest son" in his words!

Xu Yin quickly glanced at the prince, and then held his breath.

The people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple instantly stood up like kites!

"The emperor's eldest son?!"

There were countless voices in the hall for a while, and several voices spit out at the same time, and Zhang Shicheng directly tore his throat!

"Your Majesty, you said that King Rong's father and son killed the eldest son of the emperor? The eldest son of the emperor...... Isn't he gone anymore?! ”

Zhang Huan, as a close minister who can talk and laugh in front of the emperor, can't say a complete sentence at this time!

It's a bolt from the blue!

How important the eldest son of the emperor is to the emperor and queen, Zhang Huan knows it very well!

How favored the emperor's eldest son was when he was by the emperor's side, he saw it with his own eyes!

It turns out that the emperor has not given up looking for him for so many years?

No, what's worse is that the eldest son of the emperor, who the emperor has been looking for for many years, actually died at the hands of Yang Yu, and Zhang Shicheng helped hide it!

Cold sweat poured out of Zhang Huan's back! He sat on the ground, one hand holding the floor so stiff that he couldn't even curl up!

"Drag them out!"

The eunuch commanded the guards, and the father and son of the Zhang family were quickly dragged out.

Dali Siqing couldn't help but take a step forward: "Please also ask the emperor to make it clear that the emperor's eldest son was killed, what is the reason?" ”

The emperor took the dagger from the hand of the eunuch behind him and slapped it on the table: "On the twelfth day of August in the sixteenth year of the Shengyuan Dynasty, Yang Yu, the son of King Rong, used this knife to plot to kill a pair of young fathers and sons in Baiyu Hutong, and that father and son were the eldest sons of the emperor who I and the empress were separated twenty-four years ago, and the eldest grandson of the emperor who had not yet met me!" ”

Dali Siqing and Duchayuan Du Yushi were dumbfounded, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, can you know the motive of King Rong's father and son for killing right now?" ”

As the king of a country, the emperor will never be untargeted, he has already made such a big battle, King Rong's father and son didn't even dare to enter the palace to face the saint, and they committed suicide in a hurry, this thing must not be fake!

Murdering the emperor's eldest son and grandson is a big crime!

But as the emperor's cousin, King Rong should not have any entanglement of interests with the emperor's eldest son, why did they secretly do such a thing to exterminate the clan?

In other words, the eldest son of the emperor is not in their way, and they have no reason to do so!

"That's a good question!"

The emperor took out a piece of letter paper from the tray held by the eunuch, "You are the one who decided the case, take a look at this paper first." Have you ever seen the handwriting on it? Can it be identified? ”

Because the eunuch was standing on the inside, with the emperor and empress in the middle, and the crown prince and Xu Yin on the other side, they didn't see what was in the tray.

When the father and son of the Zhang family were interrogated, the prince looked at his nose and nose, and made up his mind to watch from the wall first.

When Du Yushi asked this question, he had even begun to sneer in his heart, he had only secretly instructed Yang Yu at the beginning, and no one else knew that he had given that instruction.

As soon as King Rong's father and son died, no one knew that they killed Yang Yi because someone instigated them, and no one could answer the question of Du Yushi!

What else is there to be afraid of?

But what did the emperor mean by the letter he suddenly took out?

If he took out a dagger or a fan, he would have returned it, how could it be a piece of paper on which he had written on it?

What kind of letter is this?

Who wrote it?

He seemed to have a hole in his heart, and he was up and down.

He looked at Xu Yin, and Xu Yin's face was also a little more solemn, obviously he didn't know either!

"Why doesn't the prince speak?"

At this time, the queen suddenly spoke, and she looked at the prince with red and bloodshot eyes, "We talked about it for so long just now, and we were talking about your own brother, why have you been indifferent?"

"Don't you always say that you should be brothers, friends, and brothers? Every New Year's Day, don't you always sigh that your eldest brother is not around?

"Why do you have a clue about him now, but you are as cold and quiet as a stranger?"

"Queen Mother!"

The prince stepped forward: "This news is so unexpected, the sons and daughters were stunned, and they haven't come back to their senses yet!"

"Big brother, did you come to Beijing six years ago?

"And Erchen didn't know at all, he let him die quietly at the hands of King Rong's father and son, Erchen deserved to die, and he didn't protect the imperial brother!"

The prince knelt down as he spoke.

The queen walked up to him, her teeth clenched, and her body trembled: "You also know that you deserve to die? ”

"Ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness! Erchen rushed to King Rong's mansion in person, and let King Rong's father and son go underground to make amends to the royal brother! ”

"You give me back!"

The queen roared angrily, and he threw the letter paper from Du Yushi's hand in front of him: "Open your dog's eyes and look carefully!" This is your handwriting, and your handwriting from childhood to adulthood was taught to you by my husband!

"I know every stroke you make!

"Your father knows it, too!

"You brute!"

That piece of letter paper can be floated in front of the prince, six years is not a long time, the black and white words are still very clear, and the short and clear sentences on it are even more indistinguishable!

The hole in the prince's heart suddenly expanded, so big that it seemed to devour his whole person!

In order not to leave a handle, he deliberately did not send oral messages, nor did he write on the paper, let alone use the paper commonly used in his palace.

According to common sense, Yang Yu would not be stupid enough to leave this kind of flaw, but they just stayed!

Their father and son were beyond his expectations!

King Rong has so many eyes and eyes, and he has left such important evidence, and the flaw at the moment is not the fan, nor Zhang Shicheng, nor King Rong's father and son themselves, but his handwriting!

Xu Yin next to him was still guessing the origin of the letter, but after listening to the queen's accusation at this moment, the blood flow from his limbs was also sudden!

Only then did he know that it was not only the fan that King Rong hid in the ancestral hall of the palace, but also the more terrible piece of letter!

"That's your own brother, you even killed your siblings!" After calming down a little and breathing, the queen gritted her teeth again and scolded angrily: "Your father and I have never seen him since we separated from him, you enjoy a lot of glory in the palace, and he has suffered so many years outside, finally he came to Beijing, and you still have to support Yang Yu to kill him!"

"You are not worthy of a man!"

The queen raised her arm and slapped him in the face!

The prince's face was deflected, and his right hand subconsciously covered his face.

After only a pause, he turned his face back: "With such a piece of letterhead, the queen mother has determined the guilt of her son?"

"With a handwriting similar to Erchen's, Erchen became a brother murderer?

"What is handwriting? The articles and books that Erchen has written since he was a child and copied are not only hundreds, thousands?

"If an outsider wants to imitate the handwriting of his son, it is not impossible! How can the queen mother not even believe in her own son, but believe in the false accusations of a courtier?! ”

"Framed? The evidence is already here, and you still say that it is framed? If they wanted to frame you, shouldn't they have come forward six years ago? Why did it take six years to be revealed?! ”

The queen gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure it, her eyes were still moist, at this moment she was not the majestic queen of the world, she was just a mother who had lost her beloved son!

Nothing hurts a mother's heart more than fratricide, the point is that they have been looking forward to it for more than 20 years, but in the end they have waited for such a result!

"Come on, sit down!"

The emperor clenched his hands so hard that his bones turned white, and he glared angrily at the prince on the ground, wanting to open his mouth, and his breath surged up his throat, but the defect caused a series of violent coughs!

"Take care, Your Majesty!"

Pei Zhan hurriedly leaned over. Then he faced the door: "Go and pass the Imperial Doctor!" ”

"Not necessarily!"

The emperor waved his hand, stopped breathing, and then looked at the prince: "Spread Huangmenlang to come in, draft a decree, abolish the crown prince Yang Hong, and immediately put him in Jingren Palace for confinement!"

"Everyone in the East Palace, all moved to Jingren Palace!"

After speaking, he pointed to Dali Siqing and Du Yushi: "Six years ago, the Baiyu Hutong case is now being filed, and the edict will be reported to the world after a thorough investigation!" All the people involved in the case are sent to the prison, and after everything is settled, they will be handed over to the royal judgment! ”

"Obey the order!"

The two of them immediately stepped forward to receive the order.

Xu Yin stared at all this in front of him,

The guards came forward to drag the prince, and the prince put down the hand covering his face, but shook them off and stood up on his own!

"It is unfair for my father to make such a hasty decree to abolish me. The trial of the case by the three divisions also has to pay attention to the complete human and material evidence, even if there is evidence at the moment, there is a lack of human evidence, is it a benevolent and wise thing for my father to take me down like this?

"If it spreads to the world like this, won't the people of the world think that my father is mediocre?"

"Presumptuous!" The emperor said angrily, "What kind of crime should you be guilty of saying and doing in front of me?" Are the people of the world scolding me, or are you scolding me?! ”

"Erchen is just stating the facts, the eldest brother is dead, the father and the emperor are only left and the minister and the third emperor brother, the third emperor brother has always had a stubborn disease, he is embarrassed!

"Only Erchen can take over the Great Zhou Dynasty steadily! If the father and emperor depose the sons, who will take over the world that has been pacified by the Phoenix Southern Expedition and the Northern War?

"Do you want to hand it over to these veteran heroes in the court? Please also ask your father to think twice, don't listen to the traitors to provoke you and my father-son relationship! ”

Not only did the prince not restrain himself, but his voice became louder and louder, and at the end of the words, he glared at Pei Zhan fiercely, "The Pei family has made a lot of meritorious achievements, and now they dare to frame me with these few things, and the ambition of the wolf can be seen!"

"Doesn't my father want to think about it, are they really satisfied with the title of a great general? Isn't it to do all this to covet our Yang family?! ”
