Chapter 383 The Crown Prince Admits
As soon as Zhang Qi was drunk by him, a rootless person, his domineering spirit returned, and he said angrily: "It was clearly ordered by you, and you gave me back a hundred taels of silver."
After finishing speaking, he took out a hundred taels of silver note from his sleeve pocket and put it on the ground, "My lord, this is the silver note he gave to the villain. He said he would return the one hundred taels of silver note to the villain after he promised, but the villain took the blood antelope After the corner was handed over to him, he stopped giving it away, and even told the villain not to be so greedy."
Hearing this, the crown prince glanced at Zhang Quanlong coldly. He gave him five hundred taels of silver to find someone to settle the matter.
Zhang Quanlong used to be by the prince's side in the past, and he is used to being arrogant, and knowing that the prince will be fine with the empress and Taifu here today, he didn't pay attention to Murong Jie, and suddenly said: "The empress dowager, the empress dowager, please Mingjian, the servant never ordered him to steal any blood antelope horns, everything was purely framed and bloody."
Gao Yushi sternly said: "Who are you answering? The empress dowager and empress empress are just listening in. You don't answer the prince's question honestly, but you report to the empress dowager and empress. You know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. This is not to frame the empress. Queen Mother and Empress?"
Gao Yushi is a very sharp and mean person, and he is also unselfish, only obsessed with the law and etiquette, so seeing Zhang Quanlong being so presumptuous, he immediately reprimanded him.
The queen's complexion was a little ugly, but the queen mother was very relieved. She thought that there were all these old antiques in the court, and set up some rules to regulate the officials and clansmen.
Zhang Quanlong said embarrassingly: "My lord, that's not what I mean by slaves. It's just that I lose my composure when I can't control my anger when I'm suddenly framed."
Murong Jie didn't care about him, but asked blankly, "You said you didn't order him to steal the blood antelope horns, did you?"
"Your servant absolutely does not. I dare to swear on the lives of the whole family. I have never instructed him. Moreover, although he is my cousin, I haven't seen him for a long time since I entered the palace." Zhang Quanlong red mouth When Bai Fang said that he did not hesitate to swear with the lives of his family members, it was somewhat believable.
Murong Jie's eyes were cold, "Okay, since you are stubborn, I will convince you, come, take Sun Ergou."
Hearing this, Zhang Quanlong turned pale with fright.
Sun Ergou was brought up, and he knelt down, "Young man, Sun Ergou, see the prince."
"Sun Ergou, what do you do for a living?" Ni Rong asked sharply.
Sun Ergou was so frightened that his whole body trembled, "If you return to the adults..., the villain... the villain carved his seal in Dongshi."
"Be clear." Ni Rong said angrily.
Sun Ergou panicked and said: "Yes, yes, the villain engraved the seal, and by the way, he helped the guests to do some fake public inspections, such as passing the office, post coupons and so on."
"Then look at this man, did he ask you for a fake public test?" Ni Rong asked, pointing at Zhang Quanlong.
Sun Ergou raised his head and glanced at Zhang Quanlong, then nodded with a pale face, "Yes, yes, he is Eunuch Quan, who is by the prince's side. He has visited many times, and today he asked the villain to make a pass."
"Whose name is it?"
"Call... called Li Qi!"
"Is it this one?" Ni Rong shook out a public examination paper and threw it on the ground. Sun Ergou just glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's this one."'
Ni Rong said: "My lords, my lords, this pass was found on Zhang Qi, and it was confirmed that he used this pass to check in at the inn where he was staying. After being recognized by the innkeeper and Xiaoer, he and the person who stayed Exactly the same."
Murong Jie snorted coldly, "Zhang Quanlong, you said that you didn't instruct Zhang Qi to steal the blood antelope horns, so why did you give him this accusation and one hundred taels of silver?"
Zhang Quanlong rolled his eyes a few times to hide the panic in his heart, "Well, this servant has indeed done this before, but he asked the servant to say that he committed something in Beijing, and he was afraid that the enemy would come to him. He didn’t dare to stay at home, so he asked the servant to help him make a pass, and asked him to find an inn to stay in, and the one hundred taels of silver was also given to him by the servant for emergency use.”
Murong Jie was furious, "You bastard, the preface doesn't make sense. You said just now that you haven't seen him for a long time since you entered the palace. Why did he beg you again? Also, your one hundred taels of silver, Where did it come from? The bank notes issued by this state-owned bank, and the salary given to you by the palace, don’t add up to a hundred taels in three years. Even if you have, how can you save it into the state-owned bank? Did you give it to a cousin you haven't seen for a long time?"
Murong Jie's stern words frightened Zhang Quanlong, he was already guilty, and the lies he piled up were pale and powerless under Murong Jie's aggressiveness, he looked at the crown prince, then at the grand tutor, and lost his mind for a while.
"Speak!" Where did Murong Jie let him procrastinate? Immediately he shouted in rage.
Zhang Quanlong trembled all over, and said, "Slave, it was the slave who asked him to steal."
Murong Jie continued to press, "Why did the prince ask you to steal the blood antelope horns?"
"The slave doesn't know, the slave just follows orders."
Taifu Liang wished he could slap him across the face. Wouldn't it be the same as admitting that the crown prince asked him to steal it? Anyway, after staying in the palace for so many years, he couldn't even hear Murong Jie's language trap.
Everyone exclaimed, it was really the prince who stole the blood antelope horn? God, everyone knows that the blood antelope horn can save the princess.
The prince still doesn't know, he said stubbornly: "That's right, I asked him to steal it, but even if I made a mistake, how can this be said to be disloyal and filial to the Eldest Princess?"
The anger on Murong Jie's face subsided, and he looked very amiable, he asked: "Okay, Prince, tell me, what is your purpose of stealing the blood antelope horn?"
The prince naturally knew that it was impossible to use the excuse of being playful to evade the past, so he said angrily: "Because I knew that Prince Liang's mansion was looking for blood antelope horns, he beat me hard because of the matter of the folk girl, and in this palace Gong has been stabbed thirty-eight times, and I can't swallow this breath, so I plan to steal the blood antelope horns to scare him first."
"No, you heard that King Liang needs blood antelope horns to survive, and you didn't want him to live, so you stole blood antelope horns, didn't you? You cut off King Liang's retreat and his only A chance at life, eh?"
The prince argued: "No, that's not the case. I just planned to hide it first, but I didn't intend to let him die."
"Okay, if that's the case, what about the blood antelope horn? Since it's just hidden to intimidate him, then you will definitely hand it over in the end, right?" Murong Jie asked.
The prince was silent for a moment, and said: "Those dog servants did not do things properly, and the blood antelope horn accidentally fell off the cliff."
Murong Jie straightened his waist, restrained his smile, and looked indifferently, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Hearing this, the queen's face faded away inch by inch, until she was as pale as a piece of rice paper.
There was an unspeakable sharp pain in her heart, she knew that what Murong Jie said might be true, he really wanted to kill Ah Xin.
After hearing this conversation, the clan relatives and all the officials knew in their hearts that the crown prince wanted to kill Liang Wang, but why did Liang Wang suffer such serious injuries? I heard that Liang Wang was punished by the empress, but it was just a slap, how could his life be endangered?
