The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 93 Not guilty

He almost pressed his face to the ground.

"Every word Master Zhen said is true. Back then, I was just a nobody who served Chen Nan'an in the Chen Mansion. I was lucky enough to gain his trust, so I had the opportunity to know all this..."

After stuttering these words, Chen San trembled with his thin body, lowered his head, and waited for the judgment from the emperor above.

Qi Yunjin just waved his hand and asked Chen San to leave. Then he raised his eyes nonchalantly, looked at the people below for a while, and slowly said:

"What do you think?"

It goes without saying what the emperor is asking. He just wants to know what they think.

Regarding the Chen family account books, as well as the business funds of unknown origin in the Chen Mansion in the account books, they are compared every month. It is obvious whether it is competition or comparison. No need for them to say more, everyone can see it with their own eyes. However, according to what Zhen Qingyi and Chen San said just now, there is one place that is so subtle that people have to think more deeply.

That was a few days after Prince An first entered the capital, the accounting of the source of silver and money in the Chen Mansion became increasingly confusing.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Some ministers did not believe it and thought silently about this in their hearts. After all, the officialdom was as unpredictable as clouds and the slightest unexpected event would lead to dark clouds everywhere.

Haven't they seen enough of such things as risking one's life to survive? Although Prince An is now at a disadvantage and is being looked at with suspicion and meaningful eyes by the court officials, he still stands still and steady, as if everything that is being said now has nothing to do with him, or he has nothing to worry about and is ready.

After all, now...

"Oh? Since you all said so, are you all suspecting that what happened back then was nothing more than me hiding something and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor in front of the late emperor? This accusation really gives me a headache, so I hope you all will be careful with your words!"

Prince An raised his voice, and everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony heard what he said. Some people then thought about what Prince An said. Indeed, as one of the princes of the late emperor, Prince An knew better than anyone what the crime of deceiving the emperor meant. Could it be that he was so bold as to lie to the late emperor in front of him?

"There is no such thing as a smoke without fire in this world. According to what King An said, maybe it is just a coincidence."

This sentence seemed to be directed at Prince An, but think about it.

There is no smoke without fire, perhaps.

These two words are used so cleverly that one cannot help but think deeply.

Prince An clearly felt that the people around him were looking at him in a strange way, because of what Gu Junqing said just now. The smile in his eyes remained unchanged, but there was a bit of unknown viciousness in his eyes. However, everyone only focused their attention on the person who said this, who was standing below Prince An's right, Gu Junqing.

At this moment, she stood there, with a faint smile on her delicate and beautiful face. She blinked with a bit of innocence, as if the words just now were just a casual remark.

Prince An seemed to want to say something, but Qi Yunjin, who had been silent the whole time, spoke first. He only said in a calm voice:

"Just these things and Chen San seem to be not enough. Zhen Qingyi, is there anything else you need to add?"

After hearing this, Prince An didn't know what to say. He could only watch helplessly as the right to speak was thrown back to Zhen Qingyi. The vague, inquiring looks from those around him lingered for a long time.

It was not until Zhen Qingyi's next words that the ministers' attention was diverted.

The first thing presented to Qi Yunjin was a few letters. Zhen Qingyi said to himself:

"These are some rough letters written by my father. It's been so long since I wrote them that many of the words are not clear. I know what they say, but I'm afraid that the emperor might be unhappy with the unclear words when I give them to him, so I asked someone close to the Junior Official of the Dali Temple to decipher them. At that time, I and the adults watched the talented people of the Dali Temple decipher them, and I felt that the emperor really has many talented people under his command."

He was worried that the emperor would be disturbed by such illegible letter, so he asked the people from the Dali Temple to rewrite a copy on another piece of paper to make it easier for the emperor to understand what was written in the letter. However, he was worried that the emperor would think that the translated letter had been tampered with, so he finally said that they were all watching the people from the Dali Temple interpreting it.

"The letter mentioned some dirty deeds between the Zhen and Chen families that were not made public, as well as some tit-for-tat things. For example, the cloth shipped from Yucheng to Suzhou in the clothing store was damaged by the Chen family without any explanation and even thrown into the lake. From this, the Zhen family knew that the Chen family wanted to tear their relationship apart. At this time, it was more than two months since the late emperor sent people to investigate the military pay of that year. Finally, there was the warning from the guilty father to Chen Nan'an."

……

Zhen Qingyi laid out the evidence of how the Zhen and Chen families gradually became enemies, and pointed out clearly and pointedly that the relationship between the two families was about to break down. So how could the Zhen family possibly join forces with the Chen family to take risks for military pay?

Also, the entire Zhen mansion was burned down overnight, and the so-called dark room and underground passage was obviously newly dug not long ago, compared to the secret passage in the Chen mansion which was obviously dug some years ago. How did the Chen and Zhen mansions collude to put the military pay in the basement, and how could the Zhen mansion use this secret passage to have close contacts with the Chen mansion from before until then?

And when the Chen family was interrogated that year, the chief judge only listened to Chen Nan'an's confession. In addition, the evidence seemed perfect but no one investigated it in depth, so the case was dropped and Zhen and Chen were convicted of collusion.

Now it seems that there are really many loopholes. The Dali Temple re-looked through the files of that year and indeed found many inaccuracies, so they opened a case for retrial that day. In less than two days, the case was solved so easily, thanks to the evidence found by Zhen Qingyi in the past few years.

Therefore, it was only the Chen family who committed the secret hiding back then. Because of their hatred towards the Zhen family, they added another crime that was criticized by the world to the already exterminated Zhen family, and dragged the Zhen family into the water. Over the years, they have been misunderstood and hated by the world, and countless people have cursed the Zhen family and said they deserved to be put to death.

Everyone in the Hall of Supreme Harmony stood there, listening to the young man kneeling in the center of the hall and being punished. The ministers with lower positions at the back could only see Zhen Qingyi's thin back as he kneeled straight and firmly. The sunlight outside the door shone into the young man in the hall, lengthening his back infinitely. For some reason, it actually added a bit of loneliness to his figure, which made people feel sad.

Prince An looked at Zhen Qingyi who was kneeling in the center in front of him, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes. This man could not be kept.

Up to now, Zhen Qingyi has been lying dormant for several years, secretly looking for all the evidence that can overturn the case for the Zhen family. He has been hiding and assassinating countless times. Today in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Emperor personally said the four words that Zhen Qingyi has been dreaming of for the past few years.

"The Zhen Family is Not Guilty"
