Chapter 135 Huangfu Sheng made a move, Cheng Yuanjie betrayed his father

Ling Xuan'er is sick.Publicly losing the Konghou exam to Ye Muxi made her unable to accept this fact at all.Isn't Ye Muxi going to take a dancing test?Didn't she break her leg already?

Why does she still play the harp?Why is she playing better than me?
It can only be said that Ling Xuan'er was unlucky.Ye Muxi is not necessarily good at other musical instruments, but she is an expert in konghou.

Because Huangfu Sheng from the previous life liked her very much.

Under such a blow, Ling Xuan'er fell ill when she returned home. In addition, she lost another huge sum of 5 taels. She couldn't pay the debt herself, so she could only tell her father that the whole family was ashamed. We all know.

How could someone like Ling Xuan'er, who valued her face the most, endure it? Under shame and anger, she made herself sick from anger and lay in the house to recuperate.

"The most hateful thing is that this scene was also seen by the prince. From now on, I will have no face in front of the prince." Ling Xuan'er rubbed the handkerchief angrily, "Ye Muxi's status is low, the daughter of a criminal minister , how can she be worthy of being a high-ranking lady, she is not worthy! I hate that I lost to this kind of person, it is really embarrassing."

It was a pity that Nangong Lin couldn't see it before, but Nangong Lin saw it. She really hoped that Nangong Lin would never show up.

Siqi came in with a box and said, "Miss, Sun Qingjia begged to see you. This is a great gift she brought, but there are a full 2000 taels of silver. I would like to ask you to intercede and let the master forgive me and let her go." Daddy take a ride."

"Hmph, does she still want me to intercede with her?" Ling Xuan'er remembered that she was ridiculed by a group of girls last time, and her face became even more ugly. "Drive her away and kick her out. By the way, it's right at the door." In front of everyone, I threw the banknotes on the ground to let everyone know that my father is an upright official and does not accept gifts."

Si Qi understood, "Miss, don't worry, this servant understands."

Outside the door, Sun Qingjia waited anxiously. The Sun family was unlucky, who offended some gods.Her father is indeed a corrupt official, but with the current atmosphere in the officialdom, few people are actually clean.

The Sun family tried their best, and finally asked Sun Qingjia to come to Jiangzhou to intercede with Ling Xuan'er, and pooled up all the money the Sun family could still afford, 2000 taels.

Because the house was ransacked, the 2000 taels were all of the Sun family's savings, and it was a little old money that her father had kept privately.

"Miss Siqi, Miss Xuan'er, would you like to see me?" Sun Qingjia saw Siqi coming out, and hurriedly went up to him and said.

Siqi sneered, opened the box in his hand and turned it upside down, and the banknotes inside fluttered down.

"Our lady doesn't accept bribes." Siqi said with a high-pitched voice, with a look of contempt on his face, "Your father is corrupt and accepts bribes, seeks people's fat and anointment, and wants to use our lady's door to plead for your father? Dreaming! Our Ling family will not follow you These corrupt officials work together."

She purposely raised her voice, and immediately attracted many passers-by to watch. Even if many people didn't understand, they understood after seeing the situation, and all pointed at Sun Qingjia, very contemptuous.

Sun Qingjia was stunned, the Ling family had collected so much money from their family, how could it be so ruthless?
"Get out of here! Don't stand in the way." Siqi threw Sun Qingjia out.

Sun Qingjia couldn't believe it, "How could this be? Ms. Ling and I have always been on good terms, she wouldn't do this... Miss Chess, don't you think it's too little? This is the last thing our Sun family can get together, so let's invite Ms. Ling For the sake of past affection, it would be good to be lenient to my father."

"Hurry up and throw this person out." Siqi ordered to the guard.

Sun Qingjia begged to no avail, and was forked away by the Ling family's guards.

……

Jiangzhou, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Since the Cheng family's case was in charge of Qiu Zongping, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment under the faction of Prince Rui's party, all the criminals and related personnel have been transferred to a separate prison for repeated offenders, which is under the direct control of the Ministry of Punishment.

Huangfu Sheng was passing through Jiangnan, and he didn't pass through Jiangzhou originally, but such a big case suddenly happened in Jiangzhou, and he also encountered a little trouble, so he had to stop by to settle the case of the Cheng family. Grab it.

"The humble minister is incompetent and failed to pry out the prince's gangsters from Cheng Qiming's mouth. Please trouble the prince to come here in person." Qiu Zongping, a middle-aged man in his 40s, dressed in official uniform, saluted.

Huangfurui smiled kindly, "It's okay, Mr. Qiu has worked hard. Cheng Qiming's eldest daughter is the prince's side concubine. Although he has fallen, the network of relationships with him as the core that connects the prince's up and down is still there. Naturally, he would not explain it so clearly. As long as this network of connections is still there, the crown prince will soon be able to make up for Cheng Qiming's hole, and the Cheng family still has a side concubine, so it is not hopeless to revive Cheng Qiming. When he died, he would not confess even if he died, it is not Master Qiu's fault."

"Thank you, Lord, for your compassion." Qiu Zongping breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Huangfu Sheng has always been refined, but he has deep scheming and vicious methods, Prince Rui's faction never dared to neglect this master.

The old case of Jinghua Palace completely ruined Cheng Qiming, and the Cheng family was also ruined.If it was just asking and beheading Cheng Qiming, it wouldn't be worth Huangfu Sheng's efforts to hold the case in his own hands. He wanted to take advantage of Cheng Qiming's gap to make the prince lose a group of officials.

It's just that Cheng Qiming is a tough guy, he tried all kinds of punishments in the capital and refused to admit it.

Cheng Qiming was stubborn, so Huangfu Sheng set his mind on his sons and daughters.

"Cheng Yuanjie was locked in there. That guy is a soft bone. After a whip, he will recruit everything. He will identify whatever he wants." Qiu Zongping said.

Huangfu Sheng shook his head, "Those things are useless, I want real evidence. Cheng Yuanjie is Cheng Qiming's only son. He must have left a message for his son for such a crucial thing. If something happens to him, his son can also Use these things to find the prince, Ronghua I."

"However, if he is such a dude, if he really has the evidence of letters and accounts that can prove that Cheng Qiming and others form a party for selfish interests, he should not be able to stand the torture." Qiu Zongping said with some doubts.

A gleam of coldness flashed across Huangfu Sheng's eyes, a mediocre person is nothing more than that, and he dared to question him.

If it's not certain that Cheng Yuanjie knows the whereabouts of those things, would he, Prince Rui, take a detour himself?
"Because he is afraid of death. You have to keep him if you don't confess. If you confess, what's the use of a trash." Huangfu Sheng waved his hand casually, "Lead the way."

……

Cheng Yuanjie was hung on the torture rack in the cell, and he no longer had the arrogance of the rich and noble son, his hair was unkempt, and his clothes were stained with blood.

After being tortured by various methods, he was dying.But no matter how stupid he is, he also knows that there are some things that cannot be handed over.

When he was first imprisoned, Mrs. Cheng specially told them to recruit whatever they wanted, but he must never hand over what his father gave him. This is his amulet.

If this thing is with him, the crown prince will definitely protect his life.

Cheng Qiming is doomed this time, but the rest of the Cheng family are just exiled, and there will be many princes at that time, so there is a way to get their family out.

But once this thing is obtained by Prince Rui's people, the Prince is afraid that he will kill them to vent his anger.

In order to survive, Cheng Yuanjie made a rare effort to be strong, and waited to be exiled after the case was concluded, so that he could be rescued.

Unfortunately, he met Huangfu Sheng.

"Pour water on him to wake him up." Huangfu Sheng looked at Cheng Yuanjie who had passed out, and said with a frown.

The two jailers immediately picked up a bucket of salt water and poured it on Cheng Yuanjie's body. Cheng Yuanjie's body was covered with wounds, but when he was stimulated by the salt water, he woke up with a jerk.

"I recruit, I recruit, I recruit anything, stop beating!" Cheng Yuanjie shouted weakly.

No matter what crimes were framed against his father, he would admit it, it was just the key evidence, pretending that he didn't know.

Huangfu Sheng looked at him with a cold tone, "Cheng Yuanjie, relying on the family background of the Cheng family, you bully men and women and do all sorts of evil. In March of this year, you robbed the women of the people, and the women refused to obey, so much so that you forced the women to jump into the river. His father wanted to sue, but he was maimed by you and died of serious injuries. In November last year, he had a conflict with the wealthy businessman Jia’s because of the competition for the top spot in the brothel. Let’s not talk about it, it’s enough to behead you hundreds of times. Sentence now, beheaded.”

"Ah?" Cheng Yuanjie's face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly, "You...don't you want to keep me as a witness to accuse my father of corruption? I will confess, I will admit it, don't kill me..."

Huangfu Sheng smiled faintly, "Whether it's Mrs. Cheng or your sister is enough to identify Cheng Qiming, there is no more than you. A scourge like you keeps wasting food, and killing you is just to eliminate the harm for the people."

"Who are you? Why do you say you killed me... My brother-in-law is the crown prince. If you dare to kill me, the crown prince will not let you go!" Cheng Yuanjie was stern.

Qiu Zongping scolded, "Bold! This is His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

"The prince violated the law and the common people are the same crime. If the emperor knows that I have killed you, he will only applaud." Huangfu Sheng said.

Cheng Yuanjie panicked, "You...you are actually Prince Rui..."

As a princeling, he also knows how powerful Prince Rui is.If Prince Rui wanted to kill him, no one would dare to say no.

"Please don't kill me, I can accuse my father of any crime you want me to frame, don't kill me!" Cheng Yuanjie begged for mercy.

Huangfu Sheng said sternly, "This king enforces the law impartially, how could he frame the courtiers. However, if you are willing to hand over the key evidence of Cheng Qiming's faction and selfishness, then I can make an exception and give you a chance to redeem your crimes and spare your life." .”

"I have no evidence. I will accept whatever evidence you forged! I believe it to be true!" Cheng Qiming's eyes drifted and he felt guilty.

Huangfu Sheng clicked his tongue, "This king has always been just and strict, and never bends the law for personal gain, let alone falsifies evidence. Since you haven't, then you have no chance to atone for your crimes. Master Qiu, drag him out and behead him."

"Yes, I obey." Qiu Zongping smiled coldly.

Cheng Yuanjie saw that his life was in jeopardy, so he immediately betrayed his father and the prince, and hurriedly said, "Wait for me to recruit! I have evidence, I have the letter of my father's party for personal gain, and the account book that he sent money to those ministers. kill me."

Seeing this scene, Huangfu Sheng smiled confidently, "Hand it over."

"But you have to let me go first, how do I know if you will backtrack!" Cheng Yuanjie said hastily.

Huangfu Sheng waved his hand casually, "Yes."
