Chapter 198: The Prince's Mansion
In the prison of the Criminal Department, Zhao Qing, who was holding a tiger head hat, stared at Lu Zhong, and after looking at it for a while, Zhao Qing said slowly: "The person who came to see me that day was the master of the Prince's Mansion. ”
Lu Zhong's pupils were shocked, and he asked, "A master of the Prince's Mansion?"
Zhao Qing nodded, "It's a master named Yang He." ”
Lu Zhong wrote down the name in his heart and continued: "What you are saying is a little more detailed. ”
Zhao Qing sat on the ground and spoke eloquently.
"I was originally the son of a businessman in Tingzhou, and when I was a child, there was a childhood sweetheart, which is now the green bamboo in your mouth, we, he is the daughter of the businessman next door to us, we are in love, and the two have no guesses. ”
"It was originally a very beautiful story, but Luzhu's father failed in business and offended a big official. In order to make a comeback, her father sent him to the palace, looking forward to being favored by the emperor and named his mother. ”
"But after entering the palace for many years, Luzhu was not selected by the emperor, so he had to be assigned to the Queen Mother to serve the Queen Mother. Because she was not selected for a long time, her father could never make a comeback, and was soon killed by the officials, and finally I put her father in the ground, and her mother also went in the second year of her father's death. ”
Many years later, Luzhu became a celebrity next to the Queen Mother, and a chance to return to his hometown, Luzhu killed the big official who had already been promoted and made a fortune through means. Later, when she heard that I was giving her parents a funeral, she came to my house and gave me a large sum of silver. ”
"At that time, I hadn't started a family and had been waiting for her, but after meeting, I expressed my feelings, and Luzhu just cried at the time and said that I should hurry up and marry a wife and have children, and don't wait for her anymore. ”
"I was in a dull mood, the silver she gave me, I didn't accept it, I drank it directly, I drank it, and I drank it, and the green bamboo looked at me, and I drank it with me, and we drank too much, and we were together in a daze. ”
When Lu Zhong heard this, he said, "It is a capital crime for a palace maid to have an affair with an outsider. ”
Zhao Qing heard Lu Zhong's words and sighed, "Who said it wasn't, after that, we also knew that this matter was wrong, so Luzhu left directly and didn't say anything, but I felt a little unable to let go, so I moved the industry to Chang'an City and waited for Luzhu here." ”
"I asked someone to bring a letter to Luzhu, saying that I came to Chang'an City, and Luzhu was also very happy, and the trustee replied to me with a letter, saying that she was very happy, and next time she left the palace, she made an appointment to meet. ”
"As a result, we lived like this for several years, but it didn't take long for Luzhu to get pregnant, and now it was a big deal, so I had to find someone to take care of Luzhu in the palace, and then married a maid as a wife, deceived everyone, Luzhu gave birth to a child, and returned to the palace. ”
Wang Yi frowned and asked, "Then why did Luzhu assassinate the Queen Mother?"
Zhao Qing smiled bitterly and hugged the tiger head hat in his hand tightly in his arms, "Luzhu gave birth to a son for me, we live very well, I thought about waiting for a while, spending some money, and taking Luzhu out of the palace, but suddenly some time ago, a man in black found us, directly broke the relationship between my son and Luzhu, and wrote a letter to ask me to hand it over to Luzhu, and they left." ”
"When Luzhu came to see my son, I told me about it, and after reading the letter at that time, Luzhu's face was heavy, and I asked me to protect my son, so I left
。 ”
Lu Zhong was very curious about the letter, "Do you know what is written on that letter?"
Zhao Qing nodded, he had read the letter, "I have read the letter, the letter is a place, it should be a place in the palace." ”
Lu Zhong asked, "Where is it?"
Zhao Qing frowned and thought for a while, "East Palace, Showa Palace." ”
Wang Yi and Lu Zhong were both shocked in their hearts, now from this letter, it seems that the involvement between Luzhu and the prince is very deep, and with this article, the prince will be deprived of the position of the prince.
"After the green bamboo disappeared for three days, he came back and kept warm with me for two days, and then entrusted his son to me, I never saw him again, knowing that a few days ago, I found out that the green bamboo actually went to poison the queen mother, and also went to assassinate the emperor, I knew that something was wrong. I took everyone to hide, but I didn't expect that no one found it, the man told me not to talk nonsense, and threw down a large sum of silver, saying that if I talked nonsense, my family would die, I am a small person, Luzhu's identity is special, I dare not make a noise, so I have to do what he said. ”
Wang Yi asked, "Who is that person?"
Zhao Qing replied: "It's Yang He, the master who came to my prince's mansion a few days ago. ”
Lu Zhong let out a long sigh, now he only needs to catch Yang He, then he can declare the case of Dexin Hall over.
"What about the letters?"
Zhao Qing smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you can really help me avenge, I'm not stupid, this matter is very likely to involve the prince." ”
Lu Zhong turned his head and glanced at Wang Yi, although he said that he would help Zhao Qing take revenge, but in the end, it was only possible to speak to the one sitting on the dragon chair, after all, Zhao Qing, Luzhu and Zhang Wenxuan's family were all victims of this turmoil.
Lu Zhong ignored Zhao Qing, but walked out with Wang Yi.
"My lord, Yang He, whether we catch it or not. ”
Lu Zhong nodded, "Catch it, if we don't arrest us, we won't be able to explain to the emperor, if we don't arrest it, it is very likely that it will be recorded by someone with a heart, and when the time comes, it will be handed over to the emperor, and even if we are not princelings, we will be called princelings." ”
Wang Yi frowned, although Lu Zhong promised to arrest Yang He, but the Prince's Mansion was not so easy to enter, "My lord, the Prince's Mansion is on the edge of the Imperial City, and it is guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, so it is not easy for us to enter." ”
Lu Zhong thought for a while, and said to Wang Yi: "You go to the Dexin Hall and find Commander Li He, who is in charge of the Imperial Forest Army." ”
Wang Yi looked at Lu Zhong's appearance and turned to leave.
Under the moonlight of Chang'an City, Wang Yi came directly to the Dexin Hall with a large number of brocade guards, because Li He had greeted the Imperial Forest Army before, so Wang Yi did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
"I've seen Lord Li He. ”
Li He was standing outside the Dexin Palace, and the emperor and the empress dowager had left here early, but Li He still had to protect everything in the Dexin Hall until the end of this matter.
In order to prevent the Jinyi Guards from entering the Dexin Palace, Wang Yi caused chaos, and Wang Yi put a large number of Jinyi Guards outside.
Li He was now at the railing of the Dexin Hall and looked at Wang Yi in front of him.
For Wang Yi, Li He still knows that a scholar who came out of Youzhou can now become an important figure in Jinyiwei and his reputation is full.
"Lord Wang, what are you looking for the old man
Things?"
Wang Yi hugged his fists and said: "Lord Li, Lu Zhong, Lord Lu asked me to come and apply to you, our Jinyi Wei wants to enter the Prince's Mansion, and I hope you will make it convenient." ”
Li He was a little confused, what were you Jinyiwei doing when he entered the Prince's Mansion, but in an instant, Li He figured out the key to it, and asked in a low voice: "Wang Yi, you and the old man are honest, but your Jinyiwei has made a new discovery about the matter of Dexin Palace?"
Wang Yi nodded, indicating that what Li He said was good, "Lord Li, we did find something, but now we only have a little eyebrows, and we still don't know anything about the people behind the scenes. ”
Li He sighed, the strong rise of Jinyiwei is not without reason, I want to come to Jinyiwei this time, and I want to be majestic in front of His Majesty again, but Daming has such a group of people, which is the luck of Daming.
Li He took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it to Wang Yi, "The piece in your Lord Lu's hand can only enter and exit the Dexin Palace, with this token, except for not being able to enter the place where the emperor is, you can all enter." ”
Wang Yi looked at the token in his hand, and the token was completely black, decorated with a long sword, which Wang Yi was a little overjoyed.
"This is?" Wang Yi asked, pointing to the long sword decoration on it, to Li He.
Li He smiled and explained: "This is just engraved on it by His Majesty, and we just copy it." ”
Wang Yi nodded, clenched his fists and said goodbye: "Thank you, Lord Li, let's go to the Prince's Mansion." ”
Li He nodded, Wang Yi saw this, turned around and left, looking at the back of Wang Yi leaving, although Li He's face was not shocked, but what Wang Yi said to him just now, plus Wang Yi was going to enter the prince's mansion, Li He felt that the position of the prince was about to change, and Chang'an City had changed.
After Wang Yi got the token, he rushed into the prince's mansion with a large number of brocade guards, and because of the existence of the token, the Imperial Forest Army guarding here did not stop it, but stood aside and watched.
Jin Yiwei didn't go too far, and arrested all the people in the prince's mansion, and even the crown princess and the imperial grandson were not let go, and they were taken away together.
Lu Zhong sat in the small courtyard of Jinyiwei in Meridian Lane, quietly waiting for Wang Yi. Just now, Wang Yi has arrested all the people in the Prince's Mansion and locked them in the Imperial Prison, and now he is waiting to find which one is Yang He, and he can start asking.
"My lord, my lord, I found Yang He, and he recruited them all. ”
Ma Shun hurriedly pushed open the door of Lu Zhong's room, ran directly in front of Lu Zhong, and said breathlessly: "My lord, Yang He has recruited." ”
Lu Zhong sat on the chair, raised his eyelids, and looked at Ma Shun, "Recruited?"
Ma Shun happily replied: "Yes, it's all recruited." ”
Lu Zhong did not ask Ma Shunyang and the specific content of the confession, but instead asked a question that had nothing to do with the content, "As soon as you asked, did he recruit him?"
Ma Shun was stunned for a moment, he has been in Jinyiwei for many years, and he is not a fool, "Yes, my lord, after I introduced the torture tools, Yang He was directly frightened and sat on the ground, and before he had time to use the torture, he recruited him." ”
Lu Zhong squinted, looked at Ma Shun in front of him, and said softly, "Don't you think Yang He confessed too quickly?"
Ma Shun was no longer out of breath, but straightened up, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Lu Zhong in surprise.
Lu Zhong nodded.
