Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 168 Are You Gu Changyan?
The news that Prince Rui and his wife returned to the capital ahead of schedule quickly spread throughout the palace, but everyone didn't know the reason, so why did they do what they should do, the speculation was kept in the background.

"What's the matter with the child?" Xu Ze has his own source of information.

He had somewhat guessed that Cheng Fu would take advantage of this autumn hunting opportunity, but he didn't expect that the other party was not going to attack the autumn hunting, but to take a slanted sword.

At this time, the father and son were chatting at night in the house, playing a game of chess and a pot of tea.

Xu Ye is innocent, "Whoever loses a child will find it himself."

"She may have to suffer." Prince Rui's son is not an ordinary child, Emperor Chengqi loves this grandson very much, if something goes wrong, it will be the price of bloodshed.

Xu Ye casually said, "I will accompany her from heaven to earth."

"You are a lover." Xu Ze sneered.

Xu Ye glanced at him, "The family has a long history."

"……"Fine.

Capital
Cheng Han, who rushed to the capital non-stop after the announcement of the results, slept at home for two days before relaxing. When Feng Wenshi led people to surround Cheng's house, he and his sister were studying the mountain goods that Xu Ye sent back from the palace.

The Cheng family, Lianghexuan, small tavern and other properties under Cheng Fu's name were all searched by the officers and soldiers without exception, but found nothing.There is no evidence that Prince Rui's son was kidnapped by Cheng Fu.The further back, Feng Wenshi's pressure increased sharply, so he had to ask the prince who stayed in Beijing to supervise the country.

Zhao Yantao's answer to him was to do whatever was required by the law. What's the difference between not saying anything?If you can follow the law, you should not search without evidence or arrest people.Now if the officers and soldiers surrounding the Cheng family were withdrawn and Prince Rui and his wife came back, they would definitely take him under the knife.

The more Feng Wenshi thought about it, the more he felt that his life was not good and disaster was imminent.

At this time, the right minister is gone, and even if the Cheng family can't be found, it doesn't mean they are innocent. Who knows if they have any accomplices.Feng Wenshi does not agree with the other party's framing in his heart, and it is a taboo of the court to speculate on the people maliciously, but the more forces are involved, the responsibilities that the Jingding Yamen will bear in the future will be diluted, and his official functions will be preserved.

However, as time went by, the case was still unresolved. The people in the capital watched the excitement at the beginning, and later found something was wrong, until some people realized that the Jingding Yamen might not have any evidence to prove that Cheng Fu was guilty, so public opinion fermented, calling Feng Wenshi faint. Officials scolded the Zhang family for bullying others, and some people summed up the series of disputes caused by the marriage contract between Prince Rui and the Gu family back then.

In the courtroom, Zhao Yantao was dissatisfied with Zhang Youxiang's intervention in the Beijing Ding Yamen to handle the case, causing the matter to simmer and stir up trouble in the city, and even questioned whether the other party used the mechanism to frame him.When the Zhang family was under pressure, Prince Rui and his wife returned to Beijing.The first thing Zhang Wanqing did was to ask Feng Wenshi to take Cheng's brothers and sisters into custody immediately and interrogate them severely, so as to find out the whereabouts of the eldest son.

Zhao Yanran didn't say a word, everyone regarded his attitude as supporting Zhang Wanqing.As a result, Donggong's voices of dissatisfaction increased.

"The concubine is so majestic, she detains and tortures people without evidence, can you bear the consequences or will Zhang Xiang bear the consequences?" A censor asked before.

Zhang Wanqing didn't even look at him, "It's not your son who is missing, of course you don't worry."

The censor also became more serious, "I have searched everything that should be searched, but there is no result. How can the princess insist that Cheng Fu did it?"

Zhao Yanran held back Zhang Wanqing who was still trying to argue, further talking would not be of any benefit to Prince Rui's Palace.The sense of smell and eloquence of those censors are first-rate, no matter whether they are reasonable or not, Zhang Wanqing will never be their opponent in this life.

Hearing that they were arguing, Zhao Yantao asked Zhao Yanran, "If Prince Rui wants to arrest someone, he can use torture, but Prince Rui's House will bear any consequences. Gu will neither side with any of you, nor will he take responsibility for the result." Even Emperor Chengqi.

Zhao Yanran hesitated, not because of Zhao Yantao's indifference, but because the other party seemed too calm.When he was in Jinling, the other party told him bluntly that Cheng Fu was under the prince's wing.Moreover, Cheng Fu has made a lot of political achievements for the prince, so it makes no sense that the prince would be willing to see her reduced to a prisoner, or even face the end of being tortured.

Seeing his thoughts, Zhao Yantao said impatiently: "When you grow up, you make your own decisions and bear the corresponding consequences." His desk is full of tall memorials and files, and he really has no time to go crazy with Prince Rui and his wife.He also didn't want his courtiers to be distracted by the family affairs of Prince Rui's residence.

Zhang Wanqing didn't understand why her husband was still hesitating. Didn't he want to get rid of Cheng Fu quickly? Besides, now that the child is in the hands of the siblings, gentle means can't do anything to them.According to her, she should be punished severely, as severe as she wanted.

"My lord, I miss Han'er..." She began to cry.

Zhao Yanran turned to Zhang Youxiang, "What does the right minister think?"

"For the public, the minister is a model for all officials, for private, the minister is the great-grandfather of the young son, and I don't know what to do." Prime Minister Zhang You bowed.

Zhao Yanran lowered her head, thinking for a moment, "Arrest him first."

The prince immediately said to Feng Wenshi, "Let's do it."

The censors in the palace were all blown up, feeling that it was unreasonable, and someone said angrily: "Your Highness, this is a lynching. If it gets out, the public trust that the imperial court has worked so hard to build over the years will be destroyed."

"His Royal Highness Prince Rui, you imprisoned civilians without evidence, are you trying to beat them into a trick?"

Unexpectedly, so many people objected, Zhang Wanqing couldn't restrain herself, "Who else hates me so much except that bitch?" She frantically tried to break free from the palace guard's restraint, "She just hates me for becoming Princess Rui, and She is nothing, she already hated me, what do you know."

Her mania caused the scene to fall into a brief silence, but soon everyone's eyes on her became complicated and hard to fathom.Seeing this, Zhang Youxiang stood up in time, "Princess Rui, please calm down, the child will find it." In one sentence, Zhang Wanqing's remarks were classified as panic-stricken nonsense.

Cheng Han was famous and was not taken away, but he couldn't leave Cheng's house either, while Cheng Fu was taken away by the Jingding Yamen in front of the onlookers.

Feng Wenshi recalled Cheng Han's expression when he saw his sister locked up, and for some reason he felt nervous.He already secretly hoped that Cheng Fu would really kidnap Prince Rui's son, otherwise if it was an unjust, false and wrongful case in the end, the siblings would not let it go.By then it was not known what to expect.

Others say that prisons are bad luck, and those who come to visit prisoners have to step over the brazier to get rid of evil spirits.Cheng Fu didn't have that kind of fear, and watched while walking.Listening to the strange sounds of crying and rustling, I feel that the next story can be unfolded around this place.

The jailer took her to an empty cell, and she was pushed in before she could react, and then the cell door was closed heavily with a cold metal sound, and then the heavy iron lock was snapped on.

She looked around and saw a few dirty, black, old and smelly bedding in the corner, which hadn't been washed for decades. There was a three-foot-high brick cubicle in the corner, and there was a shallow and narrow ditch inside. , in the dim light, she could only see the outline clearly, and at the same time heard the sound of water flowing, based on her knowledge, she decided that it should be a convenient place.

It seems that the construction of this large prison is quite humane, at least there is a small compartment, not just throwing a pail to make it convenient for everyone to watch.Of course, if they dare to design this way, they shouldn't worry about someone using it to escape from prison.

Without touching the pile of old dirty quilts, Cheng Fu found a relatively clean place to sit down, hugging his knees against the wall and closing his eyes to rest.I don't remember how long it took, and there was a sound of beating and scolding from the next door, because it was too shrill and persistent, and she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

"This lady is ridiculous. It was her husband who bribed her, and she only beat her daughter-in-law to vent her anger."

"Her daughter-in-law is not a good product either."

A few jailers just watched the fun outside and didn't fight, as long as people don't die anyway.Only then did Cheng Fu learn that the prisoner next door was a female family member of the Weiyuan Hou Mansion.

"What are you looking at? After all, she is also your same father and sister. You don't have any compassion? No wonder she ended up like this." Seeing Cheng Fu's interested look, a young jailer felt unhappy.

As soon as these words came out, the fighting next door stopped, and they all looked sideways.Gu Changyu, who had been beaten to the knees and begged for mercy, rushed over suddenly, clutching the iron railing separating the two cells, gnashing his teeth.

Cheng Fu smiled at her leisurely, without speaking.

"...Are you Gu Changyan?"

Cheng Fu still just looked at her with a smile on his face, without making a sound.

"You are Gu Changyan, haha, you came in too...you have today too?" Even though his mouth hurts badly every time he said a word, Gu Changyu couldn't help it.

"Why don't you speak... You, a lowly servant who has been divorced and expelled from the family, should kneel down when you see me... I am the wife of Weiyuan Hou Shizi..."

Cheng Fu's eyes passed through the iron railing, and met the eyes of Mrs. Wei Yuanhou who was peeping this way, and the other party immediately looked away guiltily.

She turned to the jailer who was standing outside the cell watching the show: "Look, Mrs. Xi has been tortured by her mother-in-law and has not dared to resist until now. When I was alone, I bullied her. I only dared to succumb to the grievances of the strong." Find strength from the weak. You may not understand her, this is her bad root brought out from the womb."

"Mrs. Weiyuan Hou Shizi? What are you dreaming about? Weiyuanhou's mansion has already been copied. You are waiting to be escorted to the death row, and you will be executed after next autumn." Cheng Fu walked up to her and knelt down, reaching out her hand unexpectedly Grab her hair and pull it towards him.

Gu Changyu cried out in pain, the jailer came back to his senses, opened the cell and pulled people away.The young jailer even slapped Cheng Fu with his hands. After the slap, he wanted to make up for it, but the people around him quickly grabbed him.

"Are you crazy?" Several other seniors pulled him out, quickly locked him, and reproached him in a low voice.

"I just can't get used to her, let's talk about how many of them can get out after coming in. Can she take revenge on me?"

"...You, heh, eat something good."

When several people saw this man, they all shook their heads and left.
