The girl is not good in this life

Zheng Songru and his son were escorted to Beijing at the end of June.

Pei Qingyuan was in a coma for half a month and didn't wake up.

The person sent to Jingzhao Mansion was interrogated and tried again and again, but nothing was found out, but he was still detained in the Jingzhao Mansion prison.

Jiang Yuanhui arranged for someone to investigate privately. Half a month later, there seemed to be some clues, but not many, and he was not sure. He knew it well and didn't say anything to anyone.

The two brothers Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing were completely busy.

The interrogation of Zheng Songru and his son cannot be done under the guise of others.

It was decided by Jinhe Emperor Jinkou.

The place in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was used by the two brothers, and no one was left behind.

The prison was dark and damp. Zheng Qingzhi had been imprisoned for too long, and he was in a trance.

Seeing his grandfather and Aye, he couldn't express how he felt.

It seems that I should hug my head and cry, but I can't do such a thing.

Now Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing are here.

Said to be arraigned.

But no one followed.

Those little yamen servants just followed into the door, lifted two chairs, put them side by side, and hurried out.

There is indeed a place for interrogating prisoners in the prison, but the regulations are wrong.

Logically speaking, even if grandfather and Aye had committed a heinous crime and were to be interrogated, they should go to court.

But now...

"King Su? King Shu?"

Zheng Songru stood there without any ropes on his body, which showed that Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing didn't take him seriously at all.

Even if there are no yamen servants guarding him right now, I'm not afraid that something will happen to him.

Being escorted all the way to Beijing, Zheng Songru's mood has completely calmed down.

When the accident happened, I felt angry, surprised, and unbelievable. Those emotions came too suddenly.

The whole family cried together, and no one could hold on to the matter.

Win the title and go to prison.

The officials are bursting with thunderous power, but they don't know what the queen is doing.

Later, on the way to Beijing, he tried to inquire about it, but he became a prisoner, and no one kept any dignity for the Zheng family.

This is called backlash.

Zheng Songru knew it in his heart.

After these years, there are many people who are jealous and dissatisfied with the Zheng family, both in the government and the opposition.

Now that they are convicted and in trouble, it's not bad if they don't come up and step on their feet. How can they save some dignity for them?

The officials are merciless, and of course they follow suit.

It's just to vent personal anger.

I didn't know until I met Dalang.

It turns out that for nearly a year, the officials have promoted the Sun family and Concubine Zhen in such a way, and everything has already been traced.

They are far away in Xingyang, so they don't know anything.

Even Zhao Yi did not send any news back to Beijing.

Neither did Dalang.

Shouldn't.

It could only be Jin Hedi who stopped the news.

Such precautions were made early, to guard against them and the queen.

Zheng Songru squinted his eyes and looked: "Did the officials ask you to interrogate?"

He looked upright, standing there with his hands behind his back, and he was also backlit.

In the dim light, I couldn't really see his expression.

But he was able to see Zhao Yu's expressionless face and Zhao Xing's slight dissatisfaction.

My heart sinks slightly.

"I'm still your Highness's..."

"Grandfather."

Zhao Yu said coldly, and then went to look at Zheng Daoshan: "Uncle."

Zheng Daoshan's throat moved: "His Royal Highness King Su."

See, that's the difference too.

They never called Zhao Yi like that.

One mouthful, one Saburo, very affectionate.

But when he and Erlang went to Xingyang since they were young, they only heard the word Your Highness.

This is outrageous.

From the very beginning, the Zheng family made a clear distinction between closeness and closeness.

Although Zhao Yu didn't know why.

But he didn't care either.

But now that he was convicted and sent to prison, he mentioned something about his grandparents not being grandparents.

Zhao Yu put his elbows on the armrests of the official hat chair: "Since we are all here, there is no need to say such things, right? My grandfather insists on talking about relatives, so we can't say it today, so we can only come back another day." Interrogation."

His face was gloomy and cold, and his voice was the coldest, and he blocked all Zheng Songru's words as soon as he opened his mouth.

He is not Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yu never forgot what happened 12 years ago.

Zheng Songru subconsciously looked at the hand in his hand.

Sure enough, Zhao Yu was gently stroking the tiger's mouth.

Such actions, in the eyes of Zheng Songru, are more like silent warnings.

Then Zhao Yu spoke again: "Actually, by asking Erlang and I to interrogate, my father has already given respect to my grandfather and uncle."

Zheng Songru sneered: "Does the queen know?"

Zhao Xing also narrowed his eyes: "The mother is ill, does my grandfather still want to go to the palace to pay her respects?"

Even Zhao Xing is the same.

That's right, he has always been the most toward Zhao Yu.

These two brothers are rare brothers and sisters.

It is the most common thing for the brothers of the noble family to seize power, compete for favor, fight each other, and fight against each other.

But Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing have been too close since childhood.

It is estimated that in Zhao Xing's heart, even Jin and Emperor did not have such a heavy weight.

Zheng Songru laughed suddenly: "I don't know what else to interrogate. Didn't the officials already make a decree to take away my title of Duke of Pingguo? The orders of your grandmother and aunt were also taken away.

Now the members of the Zheng clan are being detained on the spot, and your uncle and I have been escorted to Beijing together. Everyone in the world knows that the former Duke of Ping, the Lord of the Zheng clan, has been imprisoned.

The officials have already convicted our father and son in their hearts, so what is there to try?
Even Dalang's official position was not kept.

I don't need to talk about this now, do I? "

He is the one who did something wrong, but he is so righteous.

It is indeed the temper that has been spoiled by my mother all these years.

If it were someone else, in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, in the current situation, facing the separate interrogation by him and Erlang, I was scared out of my wits, and I should explain everything, otherwise I would cry and beg for forgiveness of.

How could it be Zheng Songru's attitude.

Zhao Yu squinted at Feng, and scanned Zheng Daoshan: "Uncle, do you want to tell me the same thing?"

Zheng Daoshan's throat was tight and he didn't speak.

Zhao Yu snorted again: "That's right. After all, the crime is there. If you don't admit it, it's okay. Wei Zhichao counts the witness evidence, and the account book he handed over counts as the material evidence.

As for the letters you exchanged with Nanyuan before, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, those letters are still kept in the Palace of Funing.

There are also sending people to assassinate Yuwen Shichang, framing Jiang Yuanzhan and escorting him, and so on—”

He took a deep breath: "If you add up the big and small crimes, you don't need to admit or deny it. Anyway, up to now, you are just dead.

In the past 20 years, the mother has cleaned up so many messes for the Zheng family, and covered up so many crimes for your father and son.

She even dared to go to the emperor to intercede with the enemy and betray the country, and begged the emperor to show his noble hand and forgive the Zheng family.

Nanyuan rebelled, and the 17-year-old Jiang Erlang led his troops to the expedition. The court was troubled by internal and external troubles. There was a powerful enemy in Liaodong, and Pei Guogong traveled day and night to rush back to Liaodong to sit in charge and preside over the overall situation.

Grandfather, the Duke of Pei, the Jiang family, that is the loyal minister and good general.

You, the Zheng family, what are you? "

"you--"

Zheng Songru's face turned pale: "Don't forget, the queen, also surnamed Zheng, is also part of the Zheng family. Even you and the king of Shu have the blood of the Zheng family!"

Zhao Yu grumbled: "Whatever. The empress is eccentric, the father and the empress doted on his mother so much in the past, but now he doesn't care about anything, and it's all due to the grandfather and uncle.

There is only one thing, my father asked me and Erlang to ask about it. "

Zheng Songru suddenly felt bad.

The empress is centrifuged, that is to say...

No wonder the imperial concubine is so flattered.

I am afraid that he has long thought of replacing her with a noble concubine.

Whether the illness is serious or not is for outsiders to hear.

It's better to die of illness than to die.

That was the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, the first wife bestowed by the first emperor. Emperor Jinhe dared not and could not abolish the empress, and could not let the people of the world poke his back.

As for what Emperor Jinhe wanted to ask about, which was related to the queen, Zheng Songru had a vague guess in his heart.

But that is the secret that should be carried in the coffin for the rest of my life.

He sneered, and started messing around: "It has something to do with the empress, right? The officials hated the empress who issued his wife and yuan, and they wanted to abolish the empress, and because she was the empress who came out first from the first emperor, he couldn't let the people of the world talk about it. Now they are asking Zheng Zheng Clan, do you still want your brothers to drag the queen into the water?"

He always has such a righteous and dignified appearance, and his back is straight: "Isn't that your biological mother who has no grace to raise you? It's just ridiculous!"

"I'm afraid it's you who are ridiculous."

Zhao Yu's eyes were indifferent: "Why is grandfather so excited? You say that the father wants to abolish the empress? Talking nonsense is afraid that the people will talk and poke his spine?"

He smiled.

Zhao Xing couldn't laugh.

"Grandfather said these words, but he was able to keep his face unchanged. He really has no shame."

What Zhao Xing said was hard to hear.

He called his grandfather on his lips, but he was full of contempt in his heart: "All the advice my father has received these years is because of my mother, and in the final analysis, it is because of your Zheng family.

Since the founding of Daye, which queen's mother family has been so favored?

From the Taizu Taizong to the father and emperor, there is only the mother and queen, and only the Zheng family.

When my grandfather spoke like this, I was even more curious, what kind of thing made you so nonsense that you dared to say such words to me and my elder brother. "

He got up and walked forward: "In the past 20 years, what kind of weakness did you use to my mother to make her obey you and defend the Zheng family in every possible way?

12 years ago, the eldest brother was seriously injured in Xingyang, and the hand injury still cannot be healed. Murdering the eldest son is a crime of killing the nine clans. The queen mother was afraid that the father would be angry and ask him to blame, so she forced the eldest brother to swallow all the grievances. The Zheng family escaped. doomed.

The queen mother can have no family, country and world in her heart, so the Zheng family colludes with the enemy, betrays the country, sells officials and nobles, and is greedy for ink, all of which she can ignore!
But the eldest brother is her own flesh and blood, her firstborn son!

I really want to know, how did she resolutely choose the Zheng family among the eldest brother and the members of the Zheng clan, regardless of the mother-child relationship with the eldest brother? "

"absurd!"

Zheng Songru's eyes were firm, and he didn't back down half a step because of Zhao Xing's approach: "She is the Zheng family, and the Zheng family gave birth to her to raise her, so how could she abandon the Zheng family? Your words are ridiculous!
She is the Queen of the Central Palace, and the officials love her so much, who can threaten her?
I am her Aye, she is my own flesh and blood, you are going to have a child now, don't you..."

"Of course I won't."

Zhao Xing didn't want to listen to his nonsense: "But you will. Wolf ambition, what can't be done?"

A wolfish ambition is enough.

and also--

"You only told me these things, but you didn't refute the matter of elder brother's injury. In other words, it really wasn't an accident that elder brother was seriously injured in Xingyang."

Zheng Songru didn't seem to care about these things.

So he didn't even change his expression.

But Zheng Daoshan couldn't do it.

Confusion flashed across his face.

"Uncle, don't be afraid."

Zhao Xing also snorted: "Anyway, you are all like this, one more crime, one less crime, there is not much difference.

Capital crimes can't be escaped, the father is kind, it is impossible to behead you and then pull out and flog your corpses, what are you afraid of? "

"Second...His Royal Highness King Shu, you..."

But Zhao Xing didn't look at him anymore, he stared at Zheng Songru: "You still plan to tell me that you have no excuse, and you have never threatened the queen mother, right?"

Zheng Songru didn't change his face, nor did he speak.

His attitude was there, it couldn't be more clear.

Zhao Xing said he got it, turned around and went back to the official hat chair, sat down, and then raised his voice to call Yuan Fu.

Yuan Fu entered the door stooping.

Zhao Yu didn't care about him either.

Zheng Songru's eyelids twitched suddenly at this moment.

Zhao Xing took a deep breath: "Yuan Fu grew up in the palace, he knows a lot of methods in the palace, and someone borrowed him from me earlier, to do some things like torture to extract confessions.

Yuan Fu also lived up to expectations and was indeed of great use.

Since you have a hard mouth, why don't you try to see if your bones are equally hard. "

He looked sideways at Yuan Fu: "You don't have to be afraid, just go ahead and do it. In the past, this was my grandfather and uncle. Now that I'm a prisoner and a prisoner, there's no way I won't be punished. It's something my father promised. , even if you make people miserable or die, no one will hold you accountable."

"Zhao Xing!"

Zheng Songru sternly raised his voice, "You dare to let an eunuch torture me?!"

"You are too presumptuous."

Zhao Yu's voice was still so calm, and he didn't bring it out in a very angry manner.

He raised his hand and pressed on the back of Zhao Xing's hand, waved his hand, and signaled Yuan Fu: "Tie it up first."

"you--"

"Grandfather, grandfather, please don't do this."

Zheng Qingzhi walked forward from behind, supported Zheng Songru, and begged for a few words, then turned his head to Zhao Yu: "His Royal Highness Su, what do you want to know? Let me advise my grandfather, don't use torture, don't use torture. Grandfather He is old and not in particularly good health, and he was escorted all the way to Beijing and suffered so much, he couldn't stand it."

He was supporting Zheng Songru, but in fact he was holding Zheng Songru tightly, and he didn't want Zheng Songru to move rashly again.

Now in prison, Zhao Yu and Zhao Xing are right in saying that death is inevitable.

But he didn't want to watch his grandfather and Aye suffer physically before he died.

Why bother?

"Grandfather, what do you really have, let's just say it, why do you have to suffer?"
