Chapter Ninety-Nine: Framing
"Because if the minister investigates again, I am afraid that he can only throw his life in Xiliang, and the truth will never come to the surface with the death of Nie Shuangjiang. Ning Chen paused and looked at the emperor.
Ning Chen is also a seven-rank official in the imperial court now, and it is natural for him to call himself a minister.
"To be clear. The emperor frowned slightly, to be honest, since he ascended the throne, he has become more and more lazy, especially the things that use his brain, he doesn't want to touch it, but the current situation of Daming is not something that can come with his temperament, so it is not easy for this emperor to be the emperor.
"Yes. Ning Chen paused, and then said: "In order to better investigate the beginning and end of Princess Fengyang's assassination, the minister pretended to be missing, and this news is only known to Zhang Honglu, the chief flag of the Jinyi Guard, and the rest of the Jinyi Guards did not know at the beginning. “
"Similarly, with the help of City Lord Zhong, no one knows that Commander Zhu has returned to normal and is secretly protecting his ministers. Ning Chen first told the emperor about his preparations, and then said: "Jinyiwei has a spy in the Divine Wind Hall, codenamed Tarantula, and he is the third disciple of Nie Shuangjiang. ”
But the news from the tarantula only said that Nie Shuangjiang was secretly colluding with Li Zhenfeng, and the minister originally thought that Li Zhenfeng was coming for the minister. Ning Chen smiled bitterly, and then said: "But I didn't expect that this is all a trick to confuse the ministers. ”
"This matter is in the past, and I will not hold you accountable. The Emperor nodded slightly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Ning Chen bowed again, and then said: "But in the process of secretly investigating, the minister found some problems. ”
"What question?" the Emperor asked curiously.
"After Nie Wushuang brought Nie Yidao's corpse back to Xiliang, the eldest prince of Xiliang once appeared in the Kamikaze Hall, and secretly had a conversation with Nie Shuangjiang, the master of the Dao Hall who had long since declined. Ning Chen paused, and then said, "It's just that no one knows what they talked about. ”
"But Nie Shuangjiang has undoubtedly become an outcast of the Kamikaze Hall and even the Xiliang Imperial Court. Ning Chen paused slightly, looked at the emperor and said, "Because that night in Luomapo, the minister heard the conversation between Liang Jizhou and Nie Shuangjiang. ”
No matter how Liang Jizhou asked, Nie Shuangjiang just refused to admit that he colluded with Li Zhenfeng to assassinate Princess Fengyang; even if Liang Jizhou said that as long as he admitted that this matter was his mastermind, he would let him go away and fly high, but in the end, Liang Jizhou threatened Nie Shuangjiang, if he didn't go, there would be only a dead end. Ning Chen's head had been lowered at the moment, but it was slightly raised.
"Liang Jizhou wants to let him go?" The emperor's expression finally changed a little.
Yes, Nie Shuangjiang finally chose to compromise. Ning Chen nodded lightly, and then said: "And let him draw a confession, the content of the confession was seen after the two of them died together, that is, to let Nie Shuangjiang admit to colluding with Li Zhenfeng to murder Princess Fengyang, and his motives are twofold, the first is to kill the minister and avenge his son Nie Yidao; ”
"What do you think about this?" the Emperor asked.
"The minister thinks that this is just as Liang Jizhou said, Xiliang needs to give us an explanation, as long as this confession is handed over, our Daming is more reasonable, then on the bright side, we must not be able to pursue it. Ning Chen's face had a hint of resentment, and he continued: "So the minister deduced that Nie Shuangjiang must be Xiliang's outcast. And Nie Shuangjiang himself probably thought of this a long time ago. The so-called dead man's mouth is the strictest, and Nie Shuangjiang will not believe that the other party will let him go like this. And the minister thinks the same way, Liang Jizhou's words are all to stabilize Nie Shuangjiang, and the purpose is to sign and draw on that confession. ”
"After everything is complete, Chen doesn't believe that Nie Shuangjiang can escape the hunt of the Hanging Mirror Division. Ning Chen looked at the emperor, and then said: "In this way, as long as Xiliang hands over the confession and Nie Shuangjiang's body to our Daming, then our Daming may only be kept in the dark by Xiliang." ”
"Hmm. The emperor nodded, and then said, "Nie Shuangjiang's motives and actions are indeed completely consistent with being the culprit in this matter. ”
After seeing this confession, the minister knew that it was likely that someone was using Nie Shuangjiang, an outcast, to accomplish some tricky things. Ning Chen moved his hands slightly, and then said: "And this person who uses Nie Shuangjiang is Xiao Baifeng, the eldest prince of Xiliang!"
"As we all know, Princess Fengyang married Xiliang for the crown princess. As Prince Xiliang's most powerful competitor, he naturally doesn't want to see the prince get the help of our Ming Dynasty. Ning Chen said with a hint of speculation: "The minister guesses that the reason why Nie Shuangjiang secretly met Li Zhenfeng was because he was influenced by Xiao Baifeng. ”
"And Li Zhenfeng was originally the weapon that Xiao Baifeng prepared for Nie Shuangjiang. Ning Chen paused, and then said: "In fact, by now, the matter has been very obvious, it seems that Li Zhenfeng, who was bribed by Nie Shuangjiang to assassinate the minister, was actually ordered by Xiao Baifeng, the eldest prince of Xiliang, to assassinate Princess Fengyang. ”
This is the final conclusion that the minister came to after seeing the confession and linking the information he had, but it was all the minister's speculation, and there was no actual evidence, so it was not written into the file. Ning Chen first explained his words, why they were not written in the file, and then said with a hint of fierceness: "The minister knows that as soon as the morning dawns, the minister will not have any chance to overturn the case in Xiliang, and even if he investigates rashly, it is likely to change from a fake disappearance to a real disappearance." The minister must seek justice for Princess Fengyang, so he is determined to destroy the Divine Wind Hall!"
"It's just that this matter is not Xiao Baifeng's doing, and it can't be related to Nie Shuangjiang, so it is natural for the ministers to destroy him!" Ning Chen sneered: "It's better than being handed over by Xiliang to only one Nie Shuangjiang!"
"In this way, we can show the prestige of my Ming Dynasty. Ning Chen arched his hand heavily at the emperor, and then said: "With the wrist of thunder, shock the night of the Quartet!"
"It's really numb!" Ning Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, "I didn't expect that such words could come out of our mouths, well, this 13 is a full score!"
"This kid is not badly spoken. Jiang Li on the side also nodded secretly to Ning Chen, and finally did not disappoint him.
"A kamikaze hall, for the burial of a princess of mine, is actually a little less. The emperor said slowly at this moment: "Whether it is Xiao Baifeng's hand or not, anyway, that confession has been sealed into the Xiliang Hanging Mirror Division, plus you destroyed the people's door without saying a word, this matter is in the eyes of the world, it is Nie Shuangjiang's mastermind, and I can't pursue anything." ”
"Report!" a small eunuch outside the door knocked on the door at this time.
