go astray with spring

Zhang Zichu hadn't closed his eyes since he was startled awake in the middle of the night yesterday until he was interrogated. For some reason, he was panicked.He thought he would see Qi Yufeng, but he was nowhere to be seen until he knelt down in the hall.

He repeated what he had said in the Ministry of Punishment. He thought he would be made things difficult, but Zhu Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"Do you know the person who poisoned you yesterday?" He didn't ask about Qiu Hua's case, but instead brought up Lu Shiliang, not knowing what he was thinking.

"He is a Jinshi of the same subject as me, and he has met a few times after he was selected." Before the exam, he was not familiar with most of the candidates, and he had been alone.After winning the list, the top three of them often formed a group to get acquainted with each other in the homes of adults.

But Lu Shiliang didn't want to see him all the time, and he didn't bother to put his face on his butt, so naturally he wouldn't get close to him.Every time the three of them walked together, it was Wu Man who reconciled their relationship so that the scene would not be too tense.

"Then why do you think he would poison you?" Zhu Jie looked calm, not in a hurry.

"Although he doesn't like me, he shouldn't want my life so serious. I think he has some difficulties, or he was forced." He didn't feel the slightest hesitation before Lu Shiliang made the move yesterday, but no matter what he thought, he didn't hesitate. I don't think it was his intention.No matter how I think about it, there is no blood feud between them.

Zhu Jie nodded, and asked Zhang Zichu to be taken down without asking any more questions.

He had just gone to the back hall when he saw a letter on the desk, picked it up and read it carefully, and was immediately surprised.Going to face saint now, I finally have something to say, so I won't ask three questions.

Emperor Jing'an drank his tea slowly and did not open his mouth, but his intention just now was clear.Wang Xianli was dismissed from his post and investigated because of lynching indiscriminately and failing to handle the case.

Zhu Jie's mind was quick, and it happened that he just entered the palace and heard the decree issued, the subtle timing was too coincidental.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the cause of Qiu Hua's death was that someone pierced his brain with a thin needle from behind his ear, and he was raped before his death. According to my investigation, Zhang Zichu does not know martial arts, and the technique of piercing with a thin needle requires internal strength." Cultivation, so people should not be killed by him."

Emperor Jing'an stared at his chin with his wrist, glanced at him, and asked, "I heard that Lu Shiliang committed a murder in the prison of Dali Temple last night, and you caught him alive. Is there such a thing?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. At that time, he wanted to drink poisoned Zhang Zichu, but fortunately he failed. The minister has already taken him down, but he kept his mouth shut and couldn't ask a single word. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Zhu Jie knelt on the ground and said, "According to the information we have found, Lu Shiliang often goes in and out of the Drunken Red Mansion, and has, has been to Prince Rui's Mansion several times."

The intention he implied was very obvious. Qiu Hua came out of Prince Rui's Mansion, went to Juchang Tower to meet people, and why did he die in the Zuihong Tower in the end?What role did King Rui play in this process?Why did Lu Shiliang kill Zhang Zichu, and did he get the order of King Rui?

Emperor Jing'an thought for a while, and said: "I know about this matter. How long will it take you to settle this case?"

"Please allow a few more days, Your Majesty."

"The envoys of the Falcon tribe will arrive in the capital in three days. You can figure it out yourself."

After Zhu Jie resigned, the secret guard flew in and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Qiu Hua came out of Prince Rui's Mansion that day, entered Juchang Tower, and had a secret conversation with a person in a private room. Afterwards, he seemed to be drunk and was helped to a However, the carriage wandered through the downtown area and then disappeared. For some reason, on the second day, Qiu Hua died in the drunken red building."

"Where was Lu Shiliang that day?"

"He was at home during the day, but suddenly went to the drunk red building at night."

After hearing this, Emperor Jing'an didn't speak, and only let him drive to Xuanhua Palace, and he didn't let anyone pass the news along the way.Ye Gonggong, the chief eunuch next to him, was terrified. He managed to meet a sensible person along the way, but he was drunk before he could run away.

Concubine Mei Gui was watching the birds in the cage joking, when she heard footsteps outside, she looked up and saw Emperor Jing'an walking in angrily.She quickly got up and wanted to salute, but was slapped and fell to the ground.

"You all get out!" Emperor Jing'an roared angrily, causing the palace people to scatter in fright, and suddenly fell silent.

Her face was pale, the corners of her mouth were bleeding slightly, she stood up and knelt aside and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, I wonder what I did wrong?" Her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and she did not cry bitterly, as if she was not the one who was beaten.

"Your good son, come to ask me."

Concubine Mei was still kneeling: "The concubine really doesn't know what it is."

"The person he killed, you help him frame the blame, and make it known to everyone. Don't I know anything?"

"The concubine is wronged, Your Majesty, how did you start this matter? Who died, why do you think Ze'er did it? The concubine has lived in the deep palace for a long time, so how can she frame it?"

"Injustice? Well, let me ask you, who owns the drunken red building?"

Concubine Mei's eyes widened, she looked at Emperor Jing'an in disbelief, her heart was hardened, and she said, "Your Majesty, the Zuihonglou was sold to someone else the year before last, and it has nothing to do with my concubine and Ze'er."

"The matter of entering with the left hand and exiting with the right hand, are you still arguing here?"

The government and the public only knew that when the second place in the court was arrested for whoring and getting drunk in the red building, one person died on the spot, but they didn't know the identity of the dead person.Those who were still waiting and watching never expected that this would be a spark, involving the entire ruling and opposition parties at once.

Emperor Jing'an didn't like women, and there were only four princes under his knees. The eldest prince's biological mother was of low status, so there was nothing to worry about.The second prince was born of the empress. He was named the prince at the age of 16 and has never made any major mistakes.The third prince was King Rui, born of Concubine Mei Gui, his grandfather was a veteran of the three dynasties, and his great-grandfather was a famous official of the Southern Li dynasty.The fourth prince's health is not good, coupled with his young age, he has never participated in the competition for imperial power.

But Qiu Hua's case is really strange, even if the crown prince can't afford to kneel, he won't be able to see the Holy One.King Rui was reprimanded and grounded in the mansion, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes.In this kind of arthritis, there was the sad news that Concubine Mei Gui had hanged herself in the palace, and the situation suddenly became delicate.

After a wave of injustice, another wave, the carriage of the Ughal envoys finally arrived at the capital slowly.

Everything never caught Zhang Zichu's ears, at this moment he was looking at the bright moon outside the window with great depression, wondering why Qi Yufeng hadn't seen anyone all day?It stands to reason that no matter how busy he is, he will come to say hello to him.Thinking of this, he felt more and more uncomfortable.

He yelled into the air: "Whoever helped me deal with Lu Shiliang that night, come out! I want to see your general, you don't have to protect me, go and send a message!"

For a long time, there was no movement around.

Zhang Zichu was annoyed and turned his head annoyed, but he saw a person standing beside him at some point.He jumped up in fright and asked, "Who are you? When did you come? What do you want to do?"

"I'll... take you to Huangquan Road and accompany Qi Yufeng as a companion!"
