Conspiracy

Chapter 293 Palace Banquet [V]

"Ci'er? Why don't you return to your place? Do you have something else to say?"

Concubine Yu Guifei saw that there was no movement in Shangyu's frame, so she asked by herself.

Shang Yi would also climb up the pole when he resigned, and then said, "Father, my ministers were also secretly investigating the murder of Li Jieyu the other day. The maid was also brutally murdered. The son-in-law knew that the father was worried about this, so he wanted to solve the problem for the father and mother."

Gu Yunshu had been listening silently, but at this moment he couldn't tolerate him being silent. After all, it is well known that Shang Yici hated Su Zhen because of the Xu Lin case.Shang Yici said this at the palace banquet, maybe it was to target Su Zhen again.

After all, once the Grand Tutor's Mansion is affected, it will definitely cause public outrage. At that time, the court will be in turmoil, and the reputation of Su Zhen, which was previously protected, will naturally be affected.

"His Royal Highness Qin, after all, this case involves concubines in the harem, and has been accepted by the Siwei Mansion. It is inappropriate for His Highness to intervene in this case."

"Master Gu's words are not wrong, but... father, my servant has found some interesting clues."

Shang Yu frame slowly turned the jade finger on the thumb with his right hand, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me."

"Father, it turns out that Li Jieyu has been using the pretense of buying paintings in the palace, colluding with Xiyan from Jiyue Square outside the palace, and using large sums of money to help the poor. According to my son's investigation, Huanyu Mountain There is no such village at all."

Shang Yu framed his brows horizontally, twisted into the word 'Chuan', and said sharply, "Where is Yu Changqing?"

Yu Changqing had already expected that there would be a fight between gods and immortals at the palace banquet tonight, and he would definitely be involved in it.I knew I couldn't hide, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up, "Your Majesty, I'm here."

In recent days, not only has he been busy investigating the case, he even led people around to search for Su Zhen's whereabouts.That day, Su Zhen was snatched from him by Xiao Chuhong, and it was a serious crime if he didn't supervise well.Although the emperor was furious, he did not intend to kill him, and even gave him a chance to redeem his meritorious deeds.

"Changqing, let me ask you, is what King Qin said is the same as what you have investigated?"

"Returning to the emperor, just a few days ago, there was indeed a village in Huanyu Mountain, named Wuyin Village. But just three days ago, that village disappeared."

"It's gone? How can such a good village disappear?" the queen said in surprise.

"Ms. Hui, to be precise, she didn't disappear, but disappeared out of thin air. Because just a few days ago, the minister sent people to go there and captured the Huang family who had committed crimes in Wuyin Village. However, after the minister sent people to investigate, they also sent People let go."

"Let it go? Why?"

"Their...their household registration has been cancelled, because as early as thirteen years ago, these people had died in the famine caused by the war."

Everyone at the palace banquet sighed, talking and discussing in low voices.

"Dead? I don't know who you are seeing, Master Yu?"

The one who spoke out was the pure concubine Du Wanyu, who herself was dedicated to Luo Qi's consort princess for Xiliang.Because of her docile and pure temperament, Shangyu Frame gave her the title 'Pure'.

Du Wanyu's blue silk is twisted into a ponytail, with pearls and hairpins stuck in her hair.Wearing a light-colored dress inside and a translucent blue gauze outside, it looks like the bright moonlight pouring down on the ground, dragging the ground three feet.The neck line is graceful, and the collarbone is clearly visible.The figure is slim and graceful, with a graceful and soft temperament.

"Huichun Concubine, the officials are investigating this matter in detail recently, but after repeated investigations, the truth has become more and more confusing."

Yu Wude has heard many times from Shang Yici that he wants to win over Yu Changqing, but he doesn't like oil and salt, and doesn't like soft and hard.

"However, it takes so much time and effort for a mere homicide case, so if it spreads out, I'm not afraid of humiliating the imperial court."

Yu Wude's words were full of schadenfreude, and Shang Yu framed his brows into an indiscernible wrinkle again.

The young master was the closest to him, and felt his murderous intent, so he didn't say anything anymore, and covered the smile on his lips with his sleeve while raising his glass to drink.

Yu Changqing replied neither humble nor overbearing, "The general doesn't know that Li Jieyu's case is very complicated, but before the truth has fully surfaced, I'm sorry for not being able to fully reveal the details of the case."

"My lord, if General Ben remembers correctly, your Shaoqing Su Zhen is deeply involved in this case. Recently, it was rumored that he broke into the palace at night, killed the maid, and was robbed in the street. Could it be that you are delaying this case so much? You found out that he was the mastermind of this case. You deliberately covered it up because of your old feelings."

Yu Wude punished every word, and Yu Shang Yici quietly looked at each other and smiled without a trace.

"General, where do you come from to cover up this? Besides, since the incident happened, I have never believed that it was Su Zhen who killed the court lady."

"It's not Su Zhen? Does Master Yu think that there is someone else behind Su Zhen?"

Yu Wude's words can be said to make people's imagination run wild, and following Yu Changqing's words, Su Zhen was directly included in the list of infidelity and injustice.

King Qin, Ji Mengping, and Yu Wude, the courtiers of the three great gods who had been standing on the sidelines, did not give Yu Changqing a chance to continue to argue, and directly wanted to put Su Zhen to death without leaving any room for redemption.

One of them was instructed by Yu Wude's eyes, and immediately walked out of the banquet, knelt down and kowtowed, "My Majesty, Su Zhen has a perverted and domineering personality, and is not suitable for court. Committing unforgivable big mistakes one after another is a crime." Unforgivable! I heard that he seems to have returned to Beijing, so he will continue to harm the people, please send more troops to patrol, and arrest this person as soon as possible!"

"My lord! Your Majesty, Master Zhao is absolutely right! He has not reached the crown yet, and he has already tried his best to confuse the people. Since Su Zhen escaped, people have gathered in front of the government office every day to plead for his order! Such a deceitful person! People's hearts must not be let go!"

"Your Majesty! I have already heard that Su Zhen colluded with the demon clan and intends to harm Luo Qi! This person must not be tolerated!"

"My majesty, Luo Qi has always been simple and honest, but Su Zhen's character is corrupt. There are rumors that he bullies men and women, and now it is even rumored that he has a habit of sharing peaches with others!"

The servant of the punishment department has been watching the situation, seeing that no one dared to speak up for Su Zhen, and then spared no effort to continue stabbing Su Zhen.

"Your Majesty, this evening, the ministers have reported to the police one after another. After Su Zhen sneaked back into the capital city, she entered and robbed the residences of all the adults in the court with extreme arrogance."

These people confuse right and wrong, talk nonsense, and use justice to cover up their dirty hearts.

Yu Wude successfully drew the hatred to Su Zhen and Xiao Chuhong, curled his lips proudly, and looked at Xiao Chuhong, who was in the center of the courtiers, but seemed to be alone.

Xiao Chuhong listened to those people sparing no effort to slander Su Zhen, the wine glass in his right hand 'clicked', the crack extended quickly, he was directly crushed into powder, and scattered on the table.

Looking up at Shangyu frame whose expression has not changed a bit from the beginning to the end, his thin lips are tightly pursed.

And the few palace servants standing behind him shrank their necks, feeling timid.
