happy event

Chapter 285
Dong Rong sneered in her heart, if she was an ordinary woman from a small family, if she was frightened by these words, she might really accept the matter according to Da Zongzheng's intention.At that time, when people get the handle, how can you make you lose money? I'm afraid my life will be explained.

"Thank you, Lord Zongzheng, for reminding me, but I have never committed any crimes. This matter should be sent to the emperor and the empress dowager. The emperor is wise, and the empress dowager is kind. I will never be wronged."

Dazongzheng didn't expect Dong Rong to be so soft and stubborn, and also born with a sharp tongue, which really made him annoyed like a fox biting a turtle and had nowhere to say anything.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved again. When he explained this matter to the nobleman, he was well prepared.He didn't believe that he couldn't bring down this bare princess who had lost her support.

"Since you say so, why don't you tell the Lord of Suffering to correct you. You won't be afraid of confrontation, will you?"

"Of course," Dong Rong sneered, "I also want to see who has the guts to frame me. It would be even better if I could ask the person behind the scenes. Please trouble Da Zongzheng, I will go directly to see the emperor and ask him to be the master of my palace."

Da Zong was feeling guilty when he heard that, but still stiffened his back, and loudly ordered the eunuch waiting at the side, "Go and bring the handyman from the inn."

"Yes, my lord." Two very robust young eunuchs walked down together after hearing the words.Soon a young handyman wearing a coarse short jacket was brought up. This handyman's face was a little pale, his legs were weak, and he was almost dragged up by the arms of two eunuchs.He fell to his knees and began to tremble, not knowing how to speak.

Dazong cursed secretly in his heart, you idiot who can't get on the stage!But he put on a kind look on his face, and asked in a gentle voice, "Li Ermao, you came to the Zongzheng Mansion to make a high profile, and now the Princess of Zhongshan has been invited. Please tell me what happened that day in detail. Don't be afraid, In Daqi’s laws and regulations, there is a rule that the prince’s crime is the same as that of the common people. As long as he commits crimes, no one can escape punishment.”

Li Ermao didn't know whether he had taken this reassurance, or he knew that there was no way out at this point, so he mustered up his courage and said quickly, "My lord, the small inn that worked that day was the convoy that received this nobleman. The man, the shopkeeper, and Liu San were busy serving together. Liu San accidentally spilled hot water on the corner of the nobleman's skirt. The nobleman was very angry and yelled and cursed for a long time. I thought the matter was over. But the next day when the younger one was feeding the horses, he suddenly heard someone screaming in the lobby in front of him. He peeked out and saw that the nobleman was instructing the guards to kill with a knife with an angry face. The younger one Terrified, I found a hay pile and hid in it, thus avoiding the disaster of killing myself. The little one originally wanted to hide far away, but the shopkeeper has always been a villain, and the villain really can't bear him to die. , This is the first time to file a complaint. I hope Lord Zongzheng will make the decision for the villain."

Lord Zongzheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said. He turned his head and asked Dong Rong loudly, "Why, Mrs. Dong, what else do you have to say? Hurry up and confess your guilt, maybe you can alleviate some of the guilt."

Seeing them so naked, Dong Rong put the inexplicable guilt on her head without any hesitation, the anger in her heart was like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years, wishing it would erupt immediately.But she also knows that the more this is the case, the more she must be calm, otherwise, wouldn't it be more fulfilling of these people's wishes.

She raised her hand to pick up the teacup, touched her lips, and took advantage of the coolness to calm herself down.Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked lightly, "Lord Zongzheng, I really don't understand what I'm saying. This man has never even looked at me since he entered the hall, so why did he insist that it was Bengong who ordered the guards to kill and commit murder?" ? Does he have eyes on the top of his head, or can someone tell him?"

Da Zongzheng's face froze, Suiji glared at the handyman fiercely, and cursed, "Hurry up and see what Princess Zhongshan looks like, don't be mistaken!"

The handyman tremblingly raised his head, only glanced at Dong Rong, then quickly lowered his head, and replied tremblingly, "It's this noble person, she is the one who ordered the murder!"

"Now, you have nothing to say, right?" Da Zong raised the corner of his mouth proudly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Dong Rong was not nervous at all, and asked instead, "Master Zongzheng, what are you talking about? When did members of the royal family in Daqi become so humble? This palace is a dignified first-rank concubine, because of a handyman If you come to the door and say a few words, you will be convicted directly? Isn't that even worse than ordinary people?"

Dazong snorted coldly, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I'll convince you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the two eunuchs again, "Bring up the physical evidence too!"

In response, the two eunuchs went outside and brought up a long knife and a gun, and threw them in front of Li Ermao with a bang.Dazong couldn't suppress the joy in his voice, pointed at the bloody knife and gun, and said, "Mr. Dong, this is the knife and gun that was obtained at the murder scene in the inn that day, with the word 'Zhongshan' engraved on it, it is obviously from Zhongshan Wang Fu. What else do you have to say? Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, you still haven't pleaded guilty!"

Dong Rong frowned, but still responded calmly, "Master Zongzheng, if you kill someone, will you let the guards throw down the sword with your own mark? Of course not? Then the guards of our palace How can you be so stupid? This is obviously someone deliberately framing!"

"To this day, you are still sophistrying?" Da Zongzheng obviously did not expect that Dong Rong would not accept his softness and insistence, and would not plead guilty to this point.However, although he acted according to that nobleman's wishes, he still dare not punish a princess.So, the matter went back to the original point, and he had no other way for a while.

However, he can't help it, and it doesn't mean that others can't do it either.While Dazong was talking to Dong Rong, one of the two eunuchs made a gesture to Li Ermao when everyone was not paying attention.Seeing Li Ermao, his face turned paler, and his eyes were full of despair.

Dong Rong was really tired of this kind of wrangling, she put down her teacup, stood up and said, "Lord Zongzheng, if you only have these evidences, then I will not accompany you. If you want to send the case to the emperor's desk, I will also I have no objection. At that time, we will discuss with the emperor in the palace!"

"Presumptuous, who told you to go! The case has not been clarified, so don't even think about going anywhere!"

"Why, does Lord Zongzheng still want to stay in the palace overnight? I don't know, when did the Zongzheng mansion have the right to detain the royal family?"

The two officials bowed their heads deeply when they heard their quarrel getting more and more fierce, wishing they could just get out of the crack in the ground.They are not fools. From the beginning to the end of today's incident, Lord Zongzheng wanted to accuse Princess Zhongshan of a crime, and Princess Zhongshan was not a vegetarian.But it was impossible to find an excuse to go out at this time, I could only be as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and there was nothing I could do.

At this moment, Li Ermao seemed unwilling to be forgotten by everyone, and suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, Brother Liu, I can't avenge you, I'm useless. I'm here to find you, You wait for me!"

After speaking, he jumped up, ran towards Da Zongzheng and the desk in front of the two assistant officials' seats, and slammed into them.The book case was made of sandalwood, hard and heavy, and there was a muffled sound when Ermao hit it.Seeing that Li Ermao had already fallen limply on the ground, bright red blood gushed out from the hole on his forehead.Soon, a stream of blood flowed on the ground.

Such an accident really shocked everyone, they all opened their mouths for a while, not knowing what to do.No one knew why Li Ermao suddenly became so decisive when he was fine.

The two assistant officials subconsciously looked at Da Zongzheng, who was equally astonished. There seemed to be snakes swimming on his back, and the coldness pierced through his heart and lungs.Needless to say, there is another person behind this matter instigating, and even Da Zongzheng is just a pawn.

Thinking so, the two looked at Dong Rong again, with a look of pity in their eyes.Being calculated in this way, no matter how powerful Princess Zhongshan is, she may not be able to escape this lawsuit.

Dong Rong couldn't see everyone's expressions at all. At this time, her eyes were full of red blood streams, as disgusting as if she had eaten ten thousand flies.Just to accuse himself of a crime, a living person who was panting and talking just now was bumped to death like this.She didn't understand, who did she offend, whose eyes did she get in the way?Such a price needs to be paid, this is a life!
Da Zongzheng lived for a few more decades, and he was quite quick-witted. After a while, he came back to his senses. After turning his mind for a few times, he said, "Mr. Dong, now the suffering master is proving the truth of what he said with his life. You No matter how much you quibble, you will not be able to do so. Come here, lock up Mrs. Dong, and wait until tomorrow to report to the emperor."

When the two eunuchs heard this, they immediately stepped forward to grab Dong Rong's arm.Dong Rong now also knew that this matter could not be settled easily, so she got up slowly, waved her hand to open the two eunuchs who were close to her, and said, "Da Zong is really calculating, I am convinced. However, I did not commit the crime. No one can blame me for the crime. Tomorrow, we will see the outcome in the palace!"

After speaking, she followed the two eunuchs out of the lobby.Although the Zongzheng Mansion does not have the right to detain them, it still has certain punishments for the royal family who violated the precepts, and there is no shortage of rooms for calm and confinement.

The room that Dong Rong was brought to was one of them. The room was very spacious, but there was no bed, only a table and two chairs, which made the room even more deserted.

The two eunuchs sent her in, locked the door and left.Dong Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped the chair, then sat down.She has to think about what happened today, what is wrong with it?She didn't understand that the black hand behind it, since he paid his life to frame her, there must be another back hand.It will never be put on hold for the time being like this, after all, when she is in front of the emperor tomorrow, as long as she is asked to refute, things will definitely change.

Of course, if she can't speak, then. . .
