Yan Cigui Chapter 101

The British Duke tremblingly arrived outside the royal study.

Seeing Eunuch Cao standing in the corridor, he stepped forward and forced a smile: "Why did your Majesty surround our British Duke's residence? Eunuch Cao, please tell me everything."

Eunuch Cao waved his hand: "Mr. Guo, you really don't know what made the Holy Father unhappy?"

 The British official laughed twice.

Of course he knows.

　　Although the two sons did not get any news from Shuntian Mansion, the manpower left outside was still in some condition.

Eunuch Cao personally visited Shuntian Mansion.

Zhu Xian persuaded the two brothers of the Yu family to hand over the writ of paper to the Yamen.

Involved in the poisoning of his wife, Shan Shen would definitely not let Zhu Cheng pass easily, and he probably already had a grasp of the situation of the prince and his father-in-law.

 No matter how specific it is, the British Duke is not sure, so he can only listen to what Eunuch Cao has to say.

 In the past, when Eunuch Cao could raise his hands and take a breath, he would seldom shirk the blame. After all, you are good to me, everyone is good, and Eunuch Cao did not want the Holy Father to lose his temper. But now...

Eunuch Cao directly threw the question back.

 The British Duke sighed secretly.

 Looks like the situation is worse than expected.

Following Eunuch Cao to the imperial palace, Mr. Yingying shivered and knelt down with his head buried.

The Holy Father looked at him coldly and did not scream. He just let the British Duke kneel down and criticize his work.

 After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Xu Jian arrived.

 While the Holy Spirit issued an edict to surround the British Duke's Mansion, he also sent people to Shuntian Mansion to summon him.

 Xu Jian saluted the Holy Lord, then looked at the British Duke on the ground, pursed his lips, and looked like he was hesitant to speak.

The Holy Spirit said: "Speak directly without hesitation."

Xu Jian then said: "The British Duke looks twenty or thirty years older than he was in the morning. When he kowtowed to the Royal Study in the morning, he was not shaking like this."

The British plan to show weakness was exposed in one word, but they couldn't admit it, so they could only smooth things over for themselves: "Old minister, I'm scared, I'm scared!"

 The Holy Spirit took a deep breath.

Having Xu Jian interrupted him, his anger eased a little.

　　I didn't question the British Duke immediately because I was afraid that my temper would get worse and I killed the old man directly.

It's not that it can't be cut, it's just that there are still many things that need to be dug out of the British Duke's mouth. Even if the British Duke dies, he cannot be allowed to die with those secrets. He must be clearly explained.

Chong raised his chin to Eunuch Cao, and the Holy Master signaled him to help Eunuch Cao get up.

The British Duke did not dare to rise: "I am guilty of raising such a heartless son..."

After refusing like this several times, the British prince realized that he couldn't force him, so he got up and sat down on the edge.

 The Holy Father's offer of sitting down is not necessarily a sign of mercy.

He just refused to sit down and couldn't turn things around.

 To put it bluntly, the attitude is shown and has little impact on the results.

Taking out the handkerchief, the British father-in-law wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said to Xu Jian: "If I had known that that unscrupulous man had so many shameful things, how could I have the shame to let him stay in Shuntian Mansion?" Living in a wing, having good food and drinks, it's time to go to jail and reflect.”

Xu Jian said directly: "Don't say that, all meals on the road are good wine and good food."

The British Duke's breath was choked in his throat. He knew clearly that Xu Jian was provoking him. He couldn't attack or complain, so he could only swallow it.

The Holy Spirit relaxed his mood and asked Xu Jian, "Tell me about the case."

"Zhu Cheng has not confessed yet, but the poison recipe on Mrs. Zhu's body has been confirmed by the imperial doctor, and the confession from the outside chamber also points to Zhu Cheng." After Xu Jian finished speaking, he asked the British father again, "The matter of the poisoning by the son, the country Sir, do you have any doubts?"

British justice said: "I am extremely heartbroken. As a father, I would like to say that the words of the foreign minister cannot be trusted. But as a minister, I believe that Shuntian Mansion will not judge the case indiscriminately."

"I don't know how to interrogate or solve cases. When I go to Shuntian Mansion, I just follow Mr. Shan to experience the yamen affairs." Xu Jian cleared his throat, "Now that Mr. Shan is not here, I will ask whatever comes to my mind. The Duke of Guo will also cooperate and answer whatever I have. , it's easy to get along.”

 The British Duke glanced at the Holy Emperor.

Seeing that the Holy Emperor was not at all dissatisfied with Xu Jian's attitude of "dealing with the business", he had no choice but to agree.

“How much does the Duke know about the affairs of the outer chamber?” Xu Jian asked.

"I heard that there was such a person who gave birth to a son. Ah Cheng mentioned that he wanted to bring her into the house, but I refused." Yingying said, "I have never met her and don't know anything about her."

 Xu Jian pretended to be curious: "Have you never seen your grandson?"

"No," the British duke waved his hand, "I don't need any grandchildren, so I don't have to go to a woman outside to give birth to them."

Xu Jian felt surprised in her heart, but there was no clue on her face.

 Judging from the information they have obtained now, the British Duke and the King's Chamberlain must be connected and they are following the same path.

Since Li Mi is the main one, does the British justice really not have the slightest concern for Li Mi's son?

If the British public was kept in the dark...

 Xu Jian even believed that the one who had been concealed was Zhu Cheng who couldn't figure it out.

"Since you don't know the condition of Mrs. Zhu Si, why did you let the eldest daughter-in-law attack her today?" Xu Jian asked again.

The British public servant waved his hands repeatedly: "This is an injustice to me. I definitely didn't instruct anyone to do anything. She just wanted to help others but did bad things..."

"Who to help?" Xu Jian asked, "Mrs. Zhu Si, or Zhu Cheng?"

"That's what you're asking," the British father-in-law frowned, and his tone was a little anxious, "No one else in the family knows about the bad things A Cheng caused! I don't know, and neither do my other sons or daughter-in-law." Know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jian asked again: "Do you recognize the king's servant?"

The British Duke was startled for a moment and did not answer immediately. His whole shoulders were a little tense, but he quickly came to his senses: "Which king's servants have so many father-in-laws named Wang, I don't know which one you are referring to. "

He did not answer, but his answer, with such a vague reaction, was clearly revealed.

 The Holy Emperor looked at Xu Jian.

This guy really has some abilities.

He said he didn't know how to ask about the case, so he came up and feinted twice with his shot, but when he actually shot it, he was fierce and accurate, stabbing the red heart straight.

Xu Jian tried the answer and stopped going around in circles.

"Zhu Cheng colluded with Li Mi's chamberlain Wang Gonggong. Mrs. Zhu Si discovered the situation and was brutally poisoned. In order to cooperate more closely with Zhu Cheng, Wang Gonggong sent his goddaughter to be Zhu Cheng's maid. According to her, the child was not her biological child. , it was entrusted by the prince's bus, and he was probably Li Mi's son from his facial features. This time, the prince ordered Zhu Cheng to dig up the gold bricks in Laoshi Lane. Unexpectedly, only two boxes of banned books were dug out, and the gold bricks disappeared. Li Yuanfa, who was doing the work, I want to ask Zhu Cheng for an explanation because I don't want to die accidentally.”

Xu Jian said as he cupped his hands with the emperor: "Shuntian Mansion has checked these now."

The Holy Father stared at the British Duke for a moment.

The British Duke stood up hurriedly: "It's actually related to that Li Mi? Your Majesty, I don't know about it, I don't know about it at all, that unworthy son Cheng'er..."

"Really?" The anger in the Holy Emperor's voice gathered again, "You're in a hurry to cut off the mat after only finding out these things? There is no shortage of grandchildren, and there is no shortage of sons. Zhu Chang, do you think you can pass the test today if you give up just one son? ?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies.

 The British Duke once again fell to his knees.

This time, he was shaking harder than before.

“Everything the old minister said is true. The old minister has absolutely nothing to do with Li Mi.” The British Duke did not give up. “If you are talking about the royal servant next to Li Mi, the old minister should have met him during the reign of the late emperor.

  But he just recognized the individual, so if the old minister colluded with him, that was absolutely not the case!

On the contrary, the old minister wanted to ask Ah Cheng when he made friends with such a person and why he was bewitched by that person to raise Li Mi's son. The old minister really couldn't figure it out!

If the Holy One does not believe in the old minister, the old minister will die to prove his will! "

With a bang, a tea cup smashed over and shattered at the British Duke's feet.

Eunuch Cao glanced at His Majesty with fear.

 In my impression, His Majesty has rarely been so angry in recent years. The last time I smashed something, it seemed that I was asking His Highness the Crown Prince because the Duke of Fu was injured. At that time, there were only two fathers and sons in the royal study. Even Eunuch Cao was sent outside. He could only hear the sound of breaking porcelain inside and was frightened.

This time, the British Duke completely **** off the Holy Spirit.

Especially, the "poison of His Royal Highness King Ding" has not yet been revealed to the British public.

"Are you threatening me?" The Holy Emperor narrowed his eyes and looked down at the British Duke who was kneeling on the ground. "Want to die? Don't worry, you will die someday."

 The British Duke took a deep breath.

 He knew very well that he had to hold on.

 If you persist, you may not survive, but if you take a step back at this time, you will definitely die.

Not only would he die, but the entire Zhu family would have to be buried in it.

The fingers on the floor tiles were grasped hard, and the British Duke said word by word: "Old minister is not convinced.

 The old minister believed in Shuntian Mansion, so he did not question the connection between A Cheng and the king's servant.

 with Mr. Li's wife and son's wife.

 But the veteran has to fight for his innocence with others. If the veteran doesn't know, he doesn't know. If he doesn't participate, he doesn't participate. It's impossible for the veteran to be loyal to Li Mi.

During the reign of the late emperor, there was no such thing when the princes were competing for the throne, and even today, there is no such thing!

If the Holy One can believe the words of the old minister, the old minister will die without regrets. "

After saying that, there were three "dong-dong-dong" sounds, and the British Duke made **** marks on the floor tiles.

Seeing the Holy Lord's face turned pale, Xu Jian thought about it and decided to interrupt the British Duke's drama.

"Proving one's innocence is not an easy task," Xu Jian said respectfully, "The Holy Father handed over the case to Shuntian Mansion. The British Lord also said that he trusted Shuntian Mansion to handle the case. If I follow Mr. Shan, I will definitely get to the bottom of it."

 The Holy One pressed his swollen eyebrows and waved his hand.

 The British Duke was "invited" out of the imperial study.

The Holy One told Xu Jian, "Do you know the conclusion from the Taiyuan Hospital?"

 Xu Jian replied: "Eunuch Cao sent someone to inform me and Master Shan. I was extremely shocked."

"It is related to the death of King Ding. We must investigate thoroughly to comfort the Empress Dowager," the Holy Sage warned. "Zhu Chang will not let go. I will find a way to get him to let go. I still said the same thing. I dug three feet under the ground to find the king's servant. He will is the key."

 Xu Jian responded.

After exiting the imperial study, the British prince was still standing outside, with blood oozing from his forehead and flowing down, but he didn't wipe it away.

 “The Duke is not coming back?” Xu Jian asked, “Or do you want to follow me to Shuntian Mansion to meet Zhu Cheng?”

 “Can you go and see him?” the British prince replied subconsciously, and then he shook his head, “Forget it, I don't want to see that unworthy man.”

When father and son meet, he will definitely jump up and scold Zhu Cheng, and draw a clear line between him and Zhu Cheng both inside and outside his words.

 Zhu Cheng has been given up, can he really carry everything by himself?

The British public doesn't believe it.

　　What Zhu Cheng said in a hurry played into Xu Jian's hands!

Even though Xu Jian is young, he has been studying military science with Xu Mang since he was a child. He has a set of tactics, and it is easy for him to do bad things if he is not careful.

 Xu Jian gave the British Duke a hand and said, "Please advise Zhu Cheng for us. This is a big mistake. Let him tell the truth about the whereabouts of the king's servant.

You took the lead in arresting the king's servant. Not to mention that the Holy Emperor could be merciful to the whole family for the sake of the previous generations of the Zhu family's contribution to the court. At least you don't have to go to the late emperor with the infamy of running for Li Mi.

 What do you think? "

 The British male's eyes turned red.

The blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, which made him cover his eyes.

 He is talking nonsense!

 At his age, how can he believe in pie-in-the-sky?

The more pleasant and seductive Xu Jian's words are, the less likely they are to be believed, otherwise he will definitely lead him into a ditch.

 Hence, you are merciful!

If his family can cut off a few heads less, it will be very...

The veil was wiped off heavily, and the British princess opened his sticky eyes. The high walls of the palace that he could see were stained with a layer of red light, which looked very different from usual.

 My heart is so excited...

 Still can't help but feel excited…

 Knowing that it is a ditch, or...

 "A Cheng's study..." The British duke murmured. The next moment, he came back to his senses, and his heart was on guard again.

 Xu Jian is so evil!

If you continue to listen to him bewitching, you don't know how many gaffes he will make.

 “I'll go first.” After the British Duke finished speaking, he threw down his sleeves and strode away.

Xu Jian watched him go away and returned to Shuntian Mansion.

Shan Shen was still interrogating Zhu Cheng. When he saw Xu Jian coming back, he asked, "What did the Holy One say?"

Xu Jian glanced at Zhu Cheng.

Looking at his expression, Zhu Cheng could no longer bear the questioning after being pressed over and over again.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything," Xu Jian looked nonchalant, "The British prince smashed his head and said that he had nothing to do with the king's servant and that it was all Zhu Cheng's fault. He also asked us to investigate carefully and must pay him back. An innocent one. Yes, he asked us to go to Zhu Cheng's study, maybe there will be clues.”

 “The study room really needs to be checked!” Shan Shen said.

At first it was just an accidental death, and it was the British government, so they had no reason to search the study.

Now the Holy Emperor has asked the Royal Forest to surround the British Duke's Mansion, and they are investigating the case in Shuntian Mansion, which is justifiable.

 “Let's go now.” Xu Jian deliberately urged Shan Shen.

Shan Shen was nimble and reacted immediately, got up and strode out.

Before the two of them could go out, Zhu Cheng's trembling voice came from behind: "Father, did father really say that?"

“Don't believe it?” Xu Jian paused, turned to look at Zhu Cheng, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, “I really wasn't the instigator this time, it really happened.

　　You are really unlucky too, sharing the same bed in the outer room sold you out.

 She is joining you with a purpose, and this move is not outrageous.

The British Duke is your biological father. I didn't expect him to be so eager to cut ties with you.

Come on, you have three brothers. Your father is also trying to survive by cutting off his tail. You should understand him.

 After all, you are not wronged.

　　It was you who poisoned your wife, your dealings with the king's servants…”

“It was him, he asked me to find the eunuch!” Suddenly, Zhu Cheng interrupted Xu Jian.

He was so excited that he was out of breath just by saying this.

The red bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if they were dripping with blood.

 Happy weekend, book friends.

Thanks to book friends Atlanta and Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward.
