Chapter 31: Death in Doubt
It's not for the sake of taking the heir.
Whether it was Zhang Zuo or Zhu Zaili, when they heard this, their faces gradually became ugly.
Meng Chong gasped and looked at the three people in front of him, as if he had made up his mind.
"Zhang Zuo, Lu Bing, our family dares to speak, do you dare to listen?"
Lu Bing heard this, and even glanced at the guards left and right.
The brocade guards outside the cell also retreated to the prison with interest.
Zhang Zuo stared at Meng Chong and said, "Meng Chong, you can say it." ”
"Because there is a suspicion of death."
As soon as this remark came out.
There was a dead silence in the cell.
Lu Bing gritted his teeth and stared at Meng Chong.
"Who told you this?"
"Who else could it be? Anping Houbei, Hou Ye is looking for our family to do things, and he always has to talk about the ins and outs of the matter......"
Without waiting for Meng Chong to finish speaking, Lu Bing's face sank.
"Fart! Are you all stupid? ”
Even if Fang Chengyu was really dizzy and wanted to find Meng Chong to kill Zhu Zaili, how could he tell the ins and outs in such detail.
Listening to Lu Bing's words, Meng Chong didn't bother to talk nonsense with Lu Bing.
He snorted at the skylight of the Imperial Prison, then cracked the bloody corners of his mouth and smiled.
"Governor, look at that window, can you leak a few words?"
"Didn't you want to ask what someone told us?"
"We can tell you, just three words."
"Tell the truth."
Provocation!
Meng Chong no longer planned to get out of prison alive.
It's all about breaking the jar and breaking it.
Lu Bing's already red face was faintly blue at this time.
"If you want to die, you will be perfected!"
Lu Bing couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed towards Meng Chong with a horsewhip.
Zhang Zuo instructed the guards outside the prison: "What are you doing in a daze, there are thieves in the prison, are you still watching the excitement here?" Go out and search for us! ”
Less than a stick of incense.
One of the guards found a folded piece of rice paper under the roof tiles.
"Supervisor, this was found above."
Looking at the note in his hand, Zhang Zuo's face gradually became ugly.
The evidence is ironclad.
Meng Chong wasn't lying.
Not long after Meng Chong confessed, the man in black who had assassinated Ning Jue before also opened his mouth in the edict.
As for the confession, it is naturally not much different from Meng Chong, they are all Anpinghou's pots, and they have nothing to do with Tao Zhongwen or anyone else.
Looking at the confession in front of him, Zhu Zaili finally opened his mouth.
"Grandpa Zhang, are we going to get Marquis Anping?"
This time, neither Lu Bing nor Zhang Zuo directly answered Zhu Zaili's question.
Zhang Zuo even knelt directly on the ground.
"The crown prince, the edict is in prison, and I also ask His Royal Highness to return to the palace first, and then make a decision after the minister asks the monarch's father."
Zhu Zaili looked at Zhang Zuo, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After all, Empress Fang only passed away last year, and it has been just a whole year now.
It's just that because Queen Fang is not Jiajing's first match, and she is not Zhu Zaili's mother-in-law, Zhu Zaili's impression of Queen Fang is not particularly deep, but I have heard a lot of gossip this year.
Among them, the only rumor that impressed Zhu Zaili was that Queen Fang was personally burned to death by her father.
There are even rumors in the palace that on the day of the water, Jiajing sat on the corner tower not far from Kunning Palace, and even stopped the palace people who were fighting the fire, and just watched Queen Fang burned to death in the palace ban.
Zhu Zaili, who knew the deep meaning of this, didn't say anything, but left the edict directly.
It's just that Zhu Zaili didn't go back to the palace, but after changing his clothes in the carriage, he went directly to Ning Jue.
This case started because of Ning Jue, and everything has completely exceeded Zhu Zaili's expectations.
In the dark, Zhu Zaili had a feeling that the only person he could trust in this case was Ning Jue.
This is also the reason why Zhu Zaili insisted on asking Meng Chong if he had told others that he had left the palace.
The current situation.
The closer he got to Ning Jue, the more dangerous Ning Jue became.
The more likely it is for those who are behind the scenes to take risks.
For Ning Jue's safety, Zhu Zaili can only hide from Ning Jue first and hide it from the world at the same time, fortunately, he lives in a simple place, and some of the court meetings on the New Year's Day, although Zhu Zaili can often see some officials from a distance, but except for those important ministers in the court, few people know what they look like.
Zhu Zaili, who was in the carriage, changed his clothes, and when he arrived near Ning Jue's house, he ordered someone to wait outside the alley, and he walked towards Ning Jue's house alone.
At this time, it was already the end of the Shen period, and the winter capital was getting dark very quickly.
When leaving Beizhen Fusi, a trace of residual sun could still illuminate the Jingshi through the dense clouds, and by the time Zhu Zaili arrived at the door of Ning Jue's house, the sky had completely darkened.
When Zhu Zaili walked to the door of Ning Jue's house, he also happened to see a depressed Ning Jue walking out of the house.
"Mr. Ning."
Zhu Zaili skillfully performed the teacher salute to Ning Jue.
But Ning Jue still looked listless, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhu Zaili.
"Oh, it's you."
Zhu Zaili looked at Ning Jue, and always felt that something was wrong with Ning Jue.
"Mr. Ning, ...... are you?"
Ning Jue shook his head and sighed helplessly.
"Jinyiwei is a dry rice bucket!"
"The big case that splashed the sky is so much that everyone in Beijing knows about it!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zaili couldn't figure it out even more.
"But Mr. Ning, aren't you safe in this way?"
Ning Jue opened his mouth to scold.
WhoTM wants to be safe!
Isn't it just so that someone can come and stab yourself!
But thinking of the restrictions of the rules, Ning Jue could only swallow the words again, and then sighed awe-inspiringly.
"What is the honor and disgrace of one person?!"
"Leaking the news and startling the thieves, that's the biggest disaster!"
"With my life alone, in exchange for the truth of this case, why don't you regret this!"
If Ning Jue knew because of his words.
caused his status in the prince's heart to soar by a few notches.
Ning Jue was afraid that he would directly slap himself a few mouths.
Make your mouth cheap!
"Mr. Ning is really righteous!" The corners of Zhu Zaili's excited mouth were almost closed: "Mr. is on top, and he is worshiped by the students!" ”
After saying that, Zhu Zaili bowed solemnly to Ning Jue.
At the same time, he also secretly made up his mind in his heart that even if this case was not solved in the end, Ning Jue must be saved.
After Zhu Zaili finished worshipping, he looked at Ning Jue suspiciously and asked, "Where does Mr. Ning want to go?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Ning Jue couldn't help coughing embarrassedly twice.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is in charge of hundreds of officials, and I also need to run errands, to get close to the people's livelihood, and to accumulate some materials for future errands."
Hearing this, Zhu Zaili's eyes couldn't help but shine.
"Is this true, sir?"
Zhu Zaili looked at Ning Jue excitedly, and after thinking for a long time, he asked a little shyly: "Then, can the student accompany Mr. to go?" ”
As for how these hundred officials do errands, Zhu Zaili was a little curious.
What's more, it's a virtuous minister like Ning Jue.
