emperor cold concubine

Chapter 523 frame the blame
The truth of the matter finally came to light.

When Cang Yunmu reported the matter to Sikong Luo, Sikong Luo took it indifferently, without the slightest surprise, as if he knew all the facts already.

According to the rules, after the murderer is caught, if all the evidence is convincing and there is no doubt, the Dali Temple can directly decide the case and sentence the officials below the fourth grade.

However, since the murderer was involved, his identity was a little special after all, Zong Sikongluo didn't intend to bend the law for personal gain from the beginning to the end, but after careful consideration, he also met Yixiu directly.

At that time, Yixiu had just received Biyue's reply letter. On the eighth day of August, Cang Hao and Su Mo had already set off from Yuecheng for the imperial capital by carriage. They stared at the letter in their hands for a long time, and the corners of Yixiu's lips raised Unable to get along, the thought of finally being able to unload the burden of the emperor made me feel so good that I was about to fly into the sky.

So, when he heard that Sikong Luo asked to see him, he didn't hesitate at all, and met him directly at the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

The good mood made him feel very pleasing to everyone.

But what Sikong Luo said next made his good mood disappear in an instant.

"You mean, the murderer is Sikong Mingyuan's concubine brother?" Yixiu paused when he was sorting out the file, and looked up at him, obviously a little surprised.

"Yes, my lord." Sikong Luo reported expressionlessly, "His purpose is just to put blame on Sikong Mingyuan and remove the only person in Sikong Mansion who can threaten his status—perhaps, there is also an element of jealousy .”

After a pause, Sikong Luo explained the cause and effect of the incident clearly and clearly.

Among Sikong Sheng's new generation of grandchildren, Sikong Yushi, who ranks sixth, has an unusual status in the mansion because of his father's special love, and even his first brother is often ignored.

But he knows very well that his grandfather is the head of the family, and his grandfather loves his grandchildren. No one can change this fact. No matter how much his father loves him, he will not dare to disobey his grandfather's order.

Sikong Mingyuan is already 25 or [-] years old. Over the years, with the support of his grandfather, he has secretly cultivated a lot of power. Sikong Yushi deeply understands that his grandfather will die sooner or later, but he will definitely hand over the power of the family to his grandson before he dies. .

Sikong Yushi has the support of his mother and the love of his father, but all of this cannot give him enough ability to fight against Sikong Mingyuan.

So, he designed it all.

The development of things is sometimes too coincidental. Just the third day after the tea boy next to Sikong Mingyuan went to the city drugstore to buy arsenic, it was Sikong Mingyuan's birthday. Very popular.

Sikong Yushi also likes Fanghua, and even confessed his love to him face to face, but unfortunately Fanghua has always ignored him, that dismissive attitude often makes Sikong Yushi feel inferior.

Because of this, he secretly held a grudge.

When Fanghua entered Sikong Mingyuan's courtyard, he sent his confidants to steal unused arsenic bought by Jingui, bribed the maids around Fanghua, and drugged Fanghua's snacks.

In order to eliminate suspicion, on Sikong Mingyuan's birthday, he left the mansion and went to a temple outside the city, euphemistically saying that he prayed for his brother.

Things went very smoothly, everything was going according to the plan he had arranged, the only thing that went wrong was the small porcelain bottle.

The blue porcelain bottle is very common, and there are many in the storeroom in the mansion.

There were many similar bottles filled with liquid medicine or pills. Almost all the people who served close to him had seen them, so he didn't take them to heart, and it was precisely this that made him show his feet.

Sikong Mingyuan hated blue things since he was a child. Not many people in the mansion know this, but Sikong Sheng is the most clear, so all clothes, clothing materials, jade accessories, all blue things are strictly prohibited from appearing in the mansion. In Sikong Mingyuan's courtyard.

And these things, except for Sikong Mingyuan's confidants and Sikong Sheng, no one knows.

And that blue porcelain bottle is absolutely impossible to be what Sikong Mingyuan used.

"Sikong Sheng already knew what happened, but kept silent until Yun Mu said that the evidence was convincing enough to convict Sikong Mingyuan, so he had to tell everything in order to exonerate his most precious grandson."

Yixiu listened to him quietly, and finally said: "Sikong Yushi has been arrested and brought to justice?"

"Yes." Sikong Luo nodded, but there was a mocking smile on his lips, "Although he was brought to justice, Sikong Sheng also cooperated, but even if Sikong Sheng doesn't like this grandson, he won't I would like to see Sikong Yushi sentenced by the court."

Yixiu glanced at him, and said calmly: "Sikong Yushi killed Miss Fanghua, and then blamed his favorite grandson, is it possible that he still plans to find a way to save her?"

"Even if it's about to die, it should be dealt with by his family's law, not by outsiders—this is Sikong Sheng's rule." Having said this, Sikong Luo suddenly sneered, "He thought he was still the prime minister who had power for a while, Everything should be according to his mood and preferences, and everyone should look at his face..."

"Since Sikong Yushi's case has been settled, no one has the right to change it." Yi Xiu said, "If he insists on contending with the court, let him try."

After a pause, "If my expectations are correct, since Miss Fanghua died of arsenic poisoning, the only people who can enter and leave her boudoir at will in the middle of the night, besides her personal maid, should be 'Pretty in Pink' Bustard."

Sikong Luo nodded and said: "Cang Yunmu has already sent someone to investigate."

"Sikong." Yi Xiu fixed his gaze on his indifferent expression, "Even though the Sikong Mansion has deep roots and leafy leaves, as long as the master wants to eradicate him, he won't be able to make a fuss for long. Are you sure, you are mentally prepared?"

This is the first time that Sikong Luo clearly heard the word "Master" from Yixiu's mouth, and he could clearly hear his indifferent tone, which is his deep belief in the ability of His Majesty today——

It seems that no matter what, no matter who, even if you are powerful, even if you have a strong background, the current emperor doesn't care at all.

Whatever the emperor wants to do with you, so be it.

Sikong Mansion's superficial splendor has long been inferior to before, but Sikong Luo is very clear that his private power is deeply intertwined, and even if he wants to liquidate it, it will not be so easy.

But in Yixiu's view, it's like eating and drinking water, just wanting or not wanting, but not able or unable to say.

From the bottom of his heart, Sikong Luo was deeply curious about His Majesty the Emperor who had not met yet. He raised his head and said to Yi: "Whether the Sikong Mansion falls or not has nothing to do with me. However, I have one thing, but I would like to ask your lord to help you."

"What's the matter?" Yi Xiudan asked.

"Your Majesty has been back to the palace for several months, but he has not yet come to court." Sikong Luo paused for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled, "I wanted to see Shengyan, but I never had the chance. Two sentences?"
