Yanmenchun

Chapter 57

Concubine Shu retreated behind the screen in response.

Feng Yuanan was already there when Shentuchan and Shentu Danlin came in, and the emperor didn't have the expected anger on Lin Zicheng's face, he just said indifferently: "Shentu Aiqing, please tell me in detail what happened to you that day. .”

Shentu Danlin had a relaxed expression.After taking a look at Lin Zicheng, he recounted the matter almost as he told Lin Zicheng that day.

The emperor threw the certificate in front of him forward and said: "Then why did Commander Lin catch the prisoner and say that your sister killed the princess!"

His voice was full of anger, the paper was too light and thin, it spun in the air and landed on the edge of the case, Gao Yongyi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the certificate and handed it to Shentu Danlin.

Shentu Danlin took it with some doubts, he only glanced up and down a few times before handing the certificate to Shentuchan, then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is slander, frame-up."

His tone was calm, his expression didn't show any panic, and he looked confident.

However, Shen Tuchan carefully looked at the statement from top to bottom, and after reading it, she presented it with both hands again: "There are loopholes in the compilation of this statement, please learn from your majesty."

The emperor didn't speak, but just glanced at Lin Zicheng.

Lin Zicheng thought that the brother and sister would not recognize each other, so he sneered and said, "Of course you don't. Killing the princess is a serious crime against the nine clans. How do you explain that the prisoner didn't see the young master? He also described in detail whether You stabbed the princess to death with a sword! How do you explain why the princess ran to Chunshan for no reason? I am afraid that the injury on the young master's body is also a bitter plan!"

There was a little anger on Shen Tuchan's face, which was the girl's displeasure at being wronged and questioned. She said angrily: "The commander said that I killed the princess. I have the power to make the princess Did the lord go to Chunshan alone to find me? Can I still save my brother and me from a group of killers, and kill the princess? Could it be that I have three heads and six arms in the eyes of the commander?! You are so cruel, co-author Even if my brother's injury is not evidence, it has become your reason instead?"

Lin Zicheng twitched his cheeks twice, and said with a stern expression: "Miss Shentu, I don't want to argue with you. The young master is not in the sedan chair at all, which only means that you knew about this matter in advance, and it is human to have precautions and arrangements." common sense!"

Before Shentu Danlin could speak, Feng Yuan'an, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, let me interrupt, I think this statement is very contradictory, the commander said that the brothers and sisters of the young master knew about this matter in advance, since this is the case , Why is Ms. Shentu sitting in the sedan chair? Isn’t this a big joke in the world? When the brother and sister found out about this, the elder brother didn’t go to die, but let the younger sister go? Even if the sedan chair was empty at the time, it wouldn’t have a big impact, would it?”

The emperor looked at him and nodded, obviously agreeing with what he said, Lin Zicheng was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "What if it is deliberately to cause confusion in the investigation?"

Before Shentuchan could speak, Shentu Danlin said: "Your Majesty, the killers sent by the Fangfu are extremely vicious. You only need to interrogate the Fangfu to find out that our brother and sister are basically alone in the capital except for this title and the Marquis's residence." , we will find out as soon as we investigate this matter, we will go up and find so many powerful guards!"

The confrontation at this time is already extremely unfavorable to Lin Zicheng. He even wants to say that there are many old people in the Zhenbeihou Mansion. It is impossible to say.

At this time, Shen Tuchan stopped chasing and beating him fiercely, but said in a slightly gentler tone: "Perhaps this prisoner is chasing and biting indiscriminately in order to get rid of the crime."

Lin Zicheng felt very bad, looked up at the emperor, the emperor was looking at him indifferently.

His heart skipped a beat, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the little eunuch outside report: "I tell Your Majesty, Mr. Liu from Yushitai is asking to see you."

The emperor slightly sat up in his relaxed sitting position and said, "Let him in!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Zicheng, who instantly felt that the visitor from Yushitai was not kind.

Mr. Liu is over fifty years old, with a goatee beard and a thin figure. The carriage that caused the disturbance last time killed people, and Princess Jingxin was demoted from princess to princess, and he was also involved in the performance.

As soon as he came in at this time, Feng Yuanan frowned.

Without him, Mr. Liu is a very serious person, if he gets involved, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult.

Master Liu knelt down to see the emperor and said: "I have participated in the battle of the commander of the Jingdu Guards to make Lin Zicheng accept bribes, corrupt the law!"

The imperial study room was startled. Lin Zicheng was so furious that he quickly glanced at the emperor before turning his head and said, "Lord Liu, don't talk nonsense! I'm an upright and honest official. You slander me like this, but it's a false accusation!"

There was a law in the Jin Dynasty, and false accusers were determined according to the seriousness, and the serious ones were punished with fifty sticks.

Master Liu looked at him and said in a cold voice: "The commander doesn't need to threaten the old man. Since the old man dares to speak in front of His Majesty, he is [-]% sure!"

Originally, they were discussing whether Shen Tuchan intentionally entrapped and killed the princess, but now it was Mrs. Liu participating in Lin Zicheng's corruption and perverting the law.

Lin Zicheng gritted his teeth, thought about the situation in front of him, and saluted the emperor, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it clear for a while if Mr. Liu is talking so much about me. Why don't we talk about the Chunshan case first?"

The emperor looked unpredictable: "It's okay, it's one thing, Liu Qing, tell me!"

The emperor said it was a case, and Lin Zicheng instantly felt that there was a fraud in it. His hands clenched into fists involuntarily, his veins bulging, and he turned his head to look at Shentu Danlin and Shentuchan.

These two people, these two little kids whom he despised, set a trap for him? !
Shen Tuchan didn't look at him, but only looked at Master Liu seriously, as if curious about what Master Liu was going to say, but Shentu Danlin looked at him indifferently.

Lord Liu took out a booklet from his sleeve and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this is a gift list from the Duke of Ming Dynasty to Commander Lin!"

Lin Zicheng looked at Zhezi in disbelief, threw himself on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is really nonsense. I have no relationship with the Duke of Ming Dynasty. How could they give gifts to my ministers!"

The emperor said with a sullen face, "Submit it."

Gao Yongyi took the booklet and presented it to the emperor.

Lin Zicheng's gaze seemed to pierce through the fold, the emperor opened the fold intact under his gaze, Lin Zicheng could only stare at the emperor's expression.

The emperor frowned more and more, and finally threw Zhezi in front of Lin Zicheng and shouted loudly: "You look familiar to yourself!"

Lin Zicheng hurriedly picked up the booklet and opened it. Inside was a gift list with some silver taels recorded on it, and nothing else at all, but the more he looked at it, the more panicked he became, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead. It was obvious that there was nothing. He didn't understand why the emperor With such a big anger, he didn't know what it was.

Shen Tuchan couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Before Lin Zicheng came to see the emperor, Concubine Shu had already laid the groundwork in front of the emperor.

Both Zheng Cuicui and Princess Jingxin are dead, and the Duke of Ming Dynasty and Concubine Rong will not let her go. At this moment, what is more important than her leaning on the big tree of the prince!
