379. Why not me
If all this is true, this is not an ordinary thing.
Du Zhen's purpose in killing Du Zhong could only be to frame the blame, and to blame Du Zhong's death on the great merchant courtiers, which would directly lead to an unequal dialogue between the King of Shu and the King of Zhou.
Even let the king of Shu have the upper hand because of this matter when discussing the alliance, and the king of Shu can get more benefits from it.
Previously, the king of Shu asked Chaoge to give money, food and blade support, and there was no result for a long time, once the murder of the third year of high school was implemented, most of them had to compromise, after all, their own side was at a loss, and their own courtiers killed other people's courtiers.
The king of Shu jumped up and down to make things bigger, and it was also for this matter.
Maybe.... That Du Zhen and Du Xian were actually killed by the King of Shu?
It is not enough to die a retainer, if you die a son, the benefits will be maximized.
Du Yu saw the ministers staring at him, his back was furious, and said, "How can Lone do such a thing? Didn't this old man admit it just now, did he kill Du Zhen and Du Yu?"
Li Jing bowed his head and motioned for Gao Cheng to continue.
"Du Zhen and Du Xian were indeed killed by me. Gao Cheng nodded silently and said, "After Du Zhen killed Du Zhong, he left the body behind and went back to the mansion." ”
I sneaked along, wanting to see what he was going to do, and I heard Du Zhen say that he would blame Lord Gao for Du Zhong's death, and also talked about how to spread rumors and how to make Lord Gao confess his guilt and surrender to the law. ”
"I know what the Fa is, and those stone tablets are pestled in the market, and they say that if you kill someone, you will pay for your life. ”
"Master Gao will die, she obviously didn't do anything wrong, she just had a little quarrel with Du Zhong and knocked Du Zhong unconscious. ”
"I don't know how many times this kind of dispute happens in the village every day, but Du Zhen wants to frame Master Gao, and Lord Gao pleads guilty and surrenders to the law, and he has to die. ”
Du Yu was anxious, as if there was something he didn't know.
He angrily interrupted Gao Cheng's words and said, "Don't talk about these things that you don't have!
Gao Cheng lowered his head, as if he was shocked by Du Yu's momentum of being on top for a long time, he was stunned for a long time before he said: "I only thought that Du Zhen and Du Zhong had a personal enmity at the time, and I just took this opportunity to kill Du Zhong and blame Lord Gao, so I asked to see Du Xian, I knew that he was the son of the King of Shu, and I wanted to expose Du Zhen and give Lord Gao an innocence." ”
"I entered the mansion and told Du Xian that Du Zhen killed Du Zhong, and told him that Master Gao was wronged, and wanted him to punish Du Zhen severely, but I didn't expect him to ask me with a smile, "You also saw Gao San kill Du Zhong", and gave me a bronze person, which is worth a lot of money. ”
The courtiers were more serious, not only to blame the courtiers, but also to buy witnesses.
Gao Cheng continued: "If I don't follow, I will kneel on the ground and beg Du Xian, begging him to severely punish Du Zhong, otherwise Gao will be sentenced." ”
But Du Xian looked at me like that, just like looking at the grass mustard on the ground, and directly said Since you don't want to, then go and die, originally only Du Zhong and Gao San were killed, but now there is one more. ”
Ouyang Tianlu took a breath and exclaimed, "Then you killed them?"
Gao Cheng said: "Yes, if he wants to kill me, I will sting him with a centipede, and he will die." ”
Li Jing nodded, no wonder the wounds could not be seen on the corpses of Du Xian and Du Zhen.
"Centipe..."
Du Yu, the king of Shu, couldn't help but tremble when he heard that his son was killed by a using a centipede.
He grabbed his sleeve hard, stared at Gao Cheng deadly, and didn't say a word for a long time.
In his concept, it was impossible for such untouchables to rebel against the nobility, let alone Du Xian, who was the son of the King of Shu.
But that's what happened.
"After Du Xian, it's Du Zhen, after the centipede poisoned Du Xian, I was very scared, if I left like this, I would definitely think of Gao Da, because they only had a conflict with Gao Da on the surface. ”
"I just thought, I'm old, and that's it for my life, but Gao is young and talented, and she is still one of the few female generals in the court, and she leads the Women's Federation, and maybe she will be a general in the future, how can she be framed?"
"At that time, I thought that if Du Xian, Du Zhen, and Du Zhong were all dead, no one would suspect Gao Daren, and they would not know that Gao Daren had a dispute with Du Zhong. ”
"But I didn't expect Master Gao to think that he had killed someone and confessed..."
There was silence in the hall, Gao Cheng's voice was hoarse and dry, with a few decompositions, and everyone didn't know how to deal with it.
This is no longer a simple killing, it has risen to a diplomatic incident between Dashang and Shu.
Obviously, this is a conspiracy by Du Xian and Du Zhen to use Du Zhong against Gao San and Dashang, but Gao Cheng intervened sideways, ruined everything, and left a huge problem.
However, Du Yu knew what to do, he cried directly, and seemed to be extremely aggrieved: "Your Majesty, what is framed or not, then Gao San and Gao Chenghe murdered three people, and they should be severely punished according to the law!"
If the conspiracy is unsuccessful, no one can come up with evidence based on Gao Cheng's mouth.
On the contrary, the fact that Gao Cheng killed people is in front of him.
Li Jing keenly sensed that something was wrong, and it was difficult for the common people to rebel against the nobles.
So many slaves were beaten to death, and they never thought of resisting, although Gao Cheng's status was higher than that of slaves, it was impossible for him to kill the son of the king of Shu and two retainers because of Gao Sanyi.
Just because of respect for the third year of high school?
Who believes in such a reason!
Li Jing asked in a low voice: "Gao Cheng, you still tell the truth about everything, why do you want to kill two people in a row for the sake of the third year of high school?"
Gao Cheng was speechless for a while, the sunlight shone in from outside the temple door, and he stood in the backlight, with clear wrinkles, and his face was visible to the naked eye.
He took a deep breath: "Because it's my daughter...."
Zishou breathed a sigh of relief, I thought that the third year of high school promoted the success of women's rights, and even this kind of ordinary people would stand up for women with righteousness and awe, and I was scared for a long time, but now I understand, it turns out that the two are father and daughter.
He asked with great interest, "I heard that the third year of high school was abandoned when I was three years old, why did my parents say that?"
Zishou had heard her talk about her life experience before she was appointed to the third year of high school, because she had a boy in the family, she was abandoned by her parents and put in a basin and flowed down the river, and then her mother lost the boy and was beaten to death.
Such a father is definitely a wicked person, and he would even do this for his daughter? And he is a daughter he hasn't seen for decades, and even the daughter of the third year of high school may not recognize him.
As an official in the same dynasty, Li Jing naturally also knew the life experience of the third year of high school, expressed doubts about this, and asked: "Gao Cheng, the whole song knows that the third year of high school was abandoned by his parents when he was young, if according to what you said, you are the father of the third year of high school, why did you dislike your daughter decades ago, abandon her, and kill several people in a row for her today, and even admit the crime and kill yourself?"
Gao Cheng's chapped lips moved slightly: "There must be someone who confesses, if I run away, you will definitely arrest her, so why not me?"
