Chapter 694 Helpless Compromise, Damaged Soldier

The emperor didn't know anything about it. Chen Xiang was actually in a hurry at this time.

As Yu inferred, when Wu Ji died, Li and Zhang could not escape their fate. The case was interrupted because there was no evidence, but the Duke of Wei could not argue. Chen Xiang arranged a martial artist in the house early in the morning, secretly stalked him, and killed people when the night was dark and the wind was high.

The reason why Li and Zhang left Kyoto temporarily is to ensure that they will not be imprisoned by the government office, so that it is difficult to start.

Of course, it is impossible for the two to go far away from home. Zhang Minghe also has commercial products in Xianghe, so naturally he proposed that Uncle Li follow him to live in Beiyuan.

What Chen Xiang thought about is that since it is to cause the Duke of Wei to charge interest and Zhang's murder, it shows that the Duke of Wei should trust these two people. It is impossible to kill their in-laws for no reason. The little man is arrested, and Zhang Minghe can't escape the blame. If he suddenly dies, how can others believe that the Duke of Wei is innocent? Then, only when the case was handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Lu Zeming was forced to confess the murderer to the mastermind, and the governor of the State of Wei had no choice but to silence the accomplice, so that he could not carry out the charge of collusion with him.

So, the best time to shut up was only last night.

Ligui and Zhang Minghe are both common people. Even if Zhang Minghe is a little rich, there can't be no aristocratic officials. There will be no guards in the house, and Xianghe's house is not too large. At most, there are more than ten servants and a few maids and servants. Chen Xiang feels that there is no pressure. He thinks that the martial arts in the house can do it well and does not need to go to heaven at all. Zi asked for help and used the dark guard to kill people.

In fact, the emperor doesn't feel that he needs to arrange it himself to deal with the two common people.

Although there are dead people in this world, these people are not ordinary aristocrats who can raise on a large scale - although some people die for money and birds for food, there are few people who can really risk their lives for money. Most of them are recidivists. Once arrested, they can't escape death, they are forced to be helpless, or want to fight for a complete escape. Sin, or if there are relatives and elders and children who need to be supported, they will take risks. Generally speaking, those who can get the loyalty of the dead are not only rich, but also powerful.

It is impossible for Chen Xiang to raise dead men. As a subject, raising dead men itself violates the law of the country, and the emperor will not agree.

The emperor sought a great position when he was in the mansion. Of course, he raised a group, but since he has ascended the throne, these dead men can turn into darkness and become emperor's confidants, and most of them become secret guards in case the emperor's "timely need" and no need to hide his identity.

It can't be used easily.

That is to say, the people who Chen Xiang arranged to go to Xianghe to kill the mouth are all obsible, and it is impossible for all of them to die. Once they are arrested and tortured to force a confession, someone will confess to the prime minister's house. Even if these people do not confess, they will be chased to the prime minister's house by Lu Ze.

Chen Xiang didn't think that his action would fail at all. Well-trained martial artists could not deal with a group of ordinary servants and let Li and Zhang escape their lives.

In the early morning, Chen Xiang was still at ease, but when he returned to the prime minister's house and learned that none of the people sent to return, and even the chief confidant sent to supervise was no trace, he was worried. After waiting for a while, he still did not wait for a reply to the news, so he planned to enter the palace to tell the emperor that something had changed.

At this time, Li and Zhang had been mentioned in the Ci'an Palace. The "late" Duke of Wei not only was not questioned, but was not even allowed to enter. Obviously, the emperor had no time to talk to him. Wei Zhao was very sorry to convey the imperial order of the emperor to cancel the imperial edict.

Duke Wei also returned to the Beijing Department like an ordinary person. He just came out of Zhengyang Gate and saw Chen Xiang coming in a cold sweat. The two even politely said a few words, although he was calm and absent-minded.

Chen Xiang heard that the Duke of Wei had received the edict, but he did not see the holy driver. He also knew that there was a change in his heart, and the cold sweat was even more turbulent.

In the Ci'an Palace, Li and Zhang, who had just escaped from death, were also frightened and crawled down. There were only the corners of each person's skirt in their sight, and their eyes did not dare to raise their eyes.

Zhang Minghe is calm, but he has to pretend.

Uncle Li is really unrestrained - the dangerous experience last night completely shattered his dream of becoming a knight, thinking that even if he escapes his life, Chen Xiang and Duke Wei may not be able to let him go. Not to mention his glory and wealth, he may still be desperate in the end, and he will be frustrated for a while.

Zhang Minghe is still a little calm and analyzed with Uncle Li: "Chen Xiang must have been instructed by the Holy Mother. Even if we have ten heads, we dare not confess him. Of course, we can't admit the murder and culprit. It is also a dead end to offend the Empress Dowager. At present, the only way is to shirk all the unknown, maybe also There is vitality."

So, at this time, the two crawling on the ground shouted for injustice. They gritted their teeth and did not recognize that they instructed the dancer to seduce Wu Ji and instructed the murderer to poison him. They only claimed that they went to Xianghe for business and were almost assassinated.

Although Tianzi was relieved, he also knew that even if Li and Zhang did not confess, the "killers" trapped in the Ministry of Criminal Justice were also a problem. At the beginning, in order to make the plan go smoothly, he only arranged for a confidant to intervene - that was the poisoned little guy.

At this time, Li and Zhang refused to plead guilty, and the little guy was bound to be punished again. I'm afraid this confidant can't be preserved.

Sure enough, as soon as the impatient Empress Dowager asked the eunuchs to take away Li and Zhang, Lu Shangshu sent people to communicate, and the murderer touched the wall and died.

Now there is no need for the eldest princess and Yijing to talk more. The Empress Dowager sneered: "It's really wonderful. The murderer couldn't stand the heavy punishment at first. Lu Zeqinyi was able to ask the mastermind behind his mouth. At present, the murderer was forced to ask again, and he actually had the determination to die. He was not afraid of death and was afraid of pain. This murderer was really Different."

The emperor clenched his fist and frowned.

Of course, the empress dowager's heart was bright at this time, and the look of the emperor had explained everything.

"Grandma, in my opinion, Duke Wei is indeed innocent, Yongchanghou is even more innocent, and Tingyi has also been framed." The emperor got up and said, "I'm going to personally interrogate that group of murderers and ask who instructed them."

Of course, this is the emperor's hint of "compromise" - this matter. The two pieces of "corruption" and "bullying by force" are also concluded according to the "framing and dirty". Ci'an Palace does not need to investigate the Wu case. Under the personal trial of the emperor, of course, the murderers will die with heavy punishment, and the mastermind behind them will be confused.

This is the indirect admission of the emperor, and this is his first-hand plan.

Because even if he doesn't admit it, the Empress Dowager really wants to investigate, she will find out Chen Xiang, the culprit.

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at the emperor and did not object.

She doesn't want to argue too much with the emperor at this time. Compared with the unrelenting investigation, it is best to calm people.

But the empress dowager naturally has resentment in her heart. No one likes to be framed, not to mention that she is still a grandson.

At this point, everything is in Yu's plan. This game is a small victory, but this level alone is naturally not enough to make Ci'an Palace settle the heart of abolition.

Once the farce ended, Li and Zhang did not detain the Ministry of Criminal Justice and were able to return home. Zhang Minghe was "carefree", but Uncle Li was very worried. He was thrilled overnight and rushed to the road early, but at noon, he had no appetite to eat. Duke Wei suddenly visited and made suggestions to let Uncle Li go back to his ancestral home to cultivate. For his life, he will never set foot in Jinyang for the rest of his life. At least he can settle down with his uncle Poly.

Uncle Li had no more dissatisfaction, breathed a sigh of relief, and even didn't want to delay Jinyang for half a day. He only told Grandma Li, and packed his bags and slipped away like a bereaved dog.

And this afternoon, Huang also got a piece of news that made her irritable - Aunt Zhang was coming back again.

On the surface, it is said that Ba Niang's marriage is approaching, but how could Huang not know the Wu case? Seeing that Zhang Minghe was safe and sound, Aunt Zhang turned over again, and she immediately thought that something had happened.

The calculation failed, and Huang gritted her teeth, but she just pleaded with the Empress Dowager in this incident, did not intervene too much, and was still hidden in the dark.

In the Ci'an Palace, of course, the Empress Dowager tried her best to keep the eldest princess for dinner. After the meal, the Empress Dowager still did not magnify the eldest princess to leave the palace. She took this opportunity to talk with her sister-in-law and cousin and completely untie the knot.

"I know that Shangyuan has a grudge for Liu Niang, but Shangyuan, I really didn't force the six girls. At the same time as today, I also completely understand that this piece is nothing more than to instigate us to make a gap." The Empress Dowager's attitude is very sincere.

The eldest princess is no longer as cold and hot as last time. She patted the Empress Dowager on the knee: "The fifth sister-in-law also looked at me too little. How can I really think that you are wrong? Even the sixth girl, even if she is young and a daughter of a boudoir, she also understands it very well. She has seen that the two things between Geng Tie and rumors are that someone wants to instigate conflicts. The reason why she agreed to marry the Chen family is also to make a plan. Sure enough, it leads to today's this.

The Empress Dowager was very surprised: "I don't understand how the six girl would be willing to do this."

"I don't hide it from my fifth sister-in-law. My eldest daughter-in-law is really scheme and obscurly set up this marriage. After all, the sixth girl is her own son, and she is not so resistant to Liulang. She has the idea of compromise for a long time." The eldest princess sighed.

"The six girl doesn't resist Liulang?" The empress dowager was even more surprised.

The eldest princess smiled bitterly: "My granddaughters are the most taciturn, but her vision is different from the secular. She told her fifth sister that Liulang never forgets the red dress, and she is also affectionate. She should not be criticized and ridiculed by the world. She is better than those hypocrites who are actually full of vows... Although she But I always care about it, and I really don't like Liulang.

The Empress Dowager nod to show her understanding.

"A few days ago, the Chen family had a small meeting. Mrs. Chen took Liulang to visit Yuanying Hall, thinking that Liulang would admit his previous absurd mistakes in front of me and promised to treat the six maids well and reassure me. I looked coldly. Liulang's behavior was really different from those dungers, so I directly asked him if he still remembered the red clothes. Don't forget, don't want to marry someone else. The eldest princess hummed softly: "Mrs. Chen was shocked by my question, and her eyes were full of fear and warning. She was afraid that Liulang would say something stupid again. No wonder she was worried as a mother. That boy is really stubborn."

The Empress Dowager also raised half a heart: "What did Liulang say?"

"It is said that he dares not disobey your will, and he can no longer be filial and disobey his parents' orders, but he admits that he still can't forget his nostalgia. It is really difficult to be single-minded to Liu Niang, but there will be no more offensive actions and he will respect his wife in the future." The eldest princess snorted again.

"This bastard." The Empress Dowager hates that he can't make steel: "I'm still obsessed."

"It's always honest, and I understand that it's a big mistake to treat Jane like that, and it's not useless." The eldest princess sighed: "Six girl is willing, and this matter has been settled. What else can I do? I always hope that the time will change, and it will be good for the two children to be harmonious in the future. As long as Liulang can really respect Liu Niang as he said, I don't bother to mention his mistakes.

The eldest princess changed her words again: "The morning and evening hall sent a life case, and I heard that Li Gui and Zhang Minghe went to Xianghe. I was very uneasy. The eldest son also arranged people to secretly keep an eye on him, and I saw that someone was going to kill him. The fifth sister-in-law should also know that there were not so many coincidences. The old department said that the rescue on the way to the complaint was In fact, Xing'er led people to stop him from quenching his mouth.

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth: "There is no way to explain this matter. If I still have doubts, it will really become old and dizzy! The emperor was instigated by believers..." She sighed, "He is the son of heaven and my own grandson. Can I not let him go? I only hope that the emperor can detect the greed of Chen and Qin Erxiang, and he is far away from treachery and loyal.

Naturally, the eldest princess will no longer be entangled and nodded: "The emperor has not been ascended to the throne for a long time, and she is young and impetuous, and the fifth sister-in-law has to guide slowly." This shows that the Duke of Wei will also keep its mouth shut.

So the Wu case was solved - the murderer was bribed and intended to frame the Duke of Wei. Later, he committed suicide. Li and Zhang were also innocent, and the Duke of Wei was even more innocent. However, the mastermind behind him had not been exposed because all the criminals were "deaded to death". The case was concluded, but the truth was "complex and confusing".
