Conspiracy

Chapter 132 Xu Chong was cornered
Wu Shilang is now giving up on himself, intending to break the jar, give up waiting and watching, and choose to stand by and serve the king.

"Su Zhen acted recklessly, insulted the prince, despised the court, come and take him down!"

"stop!"

The prince walked out from the crowd, while Gu Yunshu was half a step behind him on the right.

Just like what the common people said, Gu Yunshu had a very high reputation among the people.Elegant and dust-free, it gives people a sense of otherworldly fireworks.

And Shang Yuchen is not as mediocre as the rumors say, doing nothing.Leaving aside his exquisitely handsome facial features, just talking about the sense of oppression and intimidation that he inadvertently reveals, Shang Yici is probably far less than one-thousandth of it.

Before he entered, the people in the courtroom had restrained their minds and knelt down on the ground again.

"See His Royal Highness."

"Free of ceremony, let's all get up."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

Yu Ziye changed his domineering attitude before, deliberately pretended to be pitiful, and leaned in front of Shang Yuchen, "Brother Prince! Save Aning quickly! King Qin is going to kill him!"

The corners of Gu Yunshu's lips twitched lightly, this son is really sweet and salty.When facing his own people, he can instantly abandon the killing and decisiveness in his bones, and pretend to be pitiful and coquettish.Others rely on tricks, but he can only rely on his handsome face that can turn all living beings upside down.

Su Zhen is even more weird, she almost eats all men, women and children? !
After saluting to King Qin and Yu Ziye, he nodded slightly to Su Zhen with playful eyes.

"Brother Nanshan."

Su Zhen smiled awkwardly, "Master Gu, I took the liberty earlier, I'm calling Su Zhen."

"It's okay."

Shang Yuchen sat in the original position of Wu Shilang, playing with the gavel in his hand, and squinted at Shang Yici, "King Qin, is what Zi Ye said true? Is there such a thing?"

Yu Ziye hid behind Shang Yuchen, turned his head to Shang Yici, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue. Although he was childish, he was really cute.

Su Zhen watched from below, the corners of her lips could not help but curl up.

"Third Brother, Ziye and Su Zhen made a big fuss in the Ministry of Justice, and even encouraged the ignorant people to frame Captain Xu maliciously. If you don't punish him severely, you may not be able to convince the public."

There was hostility in Shang Yici's eyes, and his deep voice was inexplicably chilling.

Su Zhen slandered in her heart when she heard the words: I just deliberately slandered Xu Jing, so what?If he didn't do anything bad, why should he be afraid of being splashed with dirty water?

Before the Shangyu frame ascended the throne, the Ning family, who was still a princess, had a son, but unfortunately died young.A few years later, Shangyu frame ascended the throne as the emperor, and his side concubine Zhao was raised as a concubine. The second prince she gave birth to was poisoned and died on the day of the full moon.

Regarding this matter, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but the murderer was not found.Since then, Concubine Ya has never stepped out of Tsinghua Palace, and has been with the ancient Buddha with blue lanterns all year round, praying for the lost child.

Not two years later, the third prince Shang Yuchen was born and was directly canonized as the prince.

Qin Wang Shangyi resigned from his birth mother, Concubine Yu Guifei, who had doted on the harem for many years. She ran amok in the harem and made many enemies in recent years.However, Concubine Yu's elder brother is Yu Wude, the current general of the court, and Shang Yici also tried his best to accumulate contacts in the court, Prime Minister Zuo is one of them, so few people dare to be an enemy of Concubine Yu.

Although everyone didn't say it clearly, they knew it.

Since the death of Xiao Mohan, the lineage of the prince has suffered a fatal blow, and since Shang Yuchen is not outstanding, if it is not for the name of the prince, I am afraid that he will never be able to stand out from the many princes.

The queen taught him carefully, but the prince was still ineffective, and there was a gap between the mother and son.

The emperor Shangyu is over fifty years old, and the infighting between the court and China is becoming more and more obvious, but the prince is like a dusty pearl, never blooming brilliance.
To Shang Yici, Shang Yuchen is a lingering haze that hangs over his heart, a sharp sword hanging above his head, and an obstacle that he can't overcome after exhausting everything.Over the years, he has seen the transformation of the prince. They also suspected that the empress mother and son were acting, as if they were waiting for an opportunity.

Years have passed, and the doubts have disappeared, but now that I look at it, I can't help showing my feet.

But who did Shang Yuchen reveal himself this time?To knock him down?To help Yu Ziye?

Or...for that arrogant Su Zhen? !

"King Qin keeps saying that Su Zhen framed Xu Jing, but you also have no proof, lest it spread that you protect the weak indiscriminately and damage the royal reputation."

The crown prince made it clear that he wanted to protect Su Zhen, so Shang Yici simply sat down, "What the third brother said is very true, since that is the case, I think the third brother will not mind my younger brother hearing the trial together."

It's just that he showed a bit of danger to Xu Jing, implying that he must not say the wrong thing.

Shang Yuchen was too lazy to answer, and turned to look at Wu Shilang, "Master Wu, continue with the interrogation."

"Yes!" Wu Shilang stood aside and slapped the gavel again with trembling hands, "Master Su, what Xu Chong said earlier is also reasonable, you can't prove that Widow Xie was killed by Xu Chong."

"Evidence? How much do you want, my lord?"

Xu Chong suddenly felt a little uncertain, turned his head away and let out a cold snort.

Su Zhen turned her eyes to Mo Sheng who was at the side, he whistled outside, and immediately several people rushed in, unlike the people who were there for the children before, they all came here to thank the widow's case.

Judging by their attire, they should be hunters in the mountains. They carry quiver on their backs and hold curved bows.

Su Zhen looked at Shang Yici with a half-smile, and the latter raised his brows calmly.

"Master Su, who are they?" Wu Shilang asked.

"Didn't your lord want witnesses? That's it."

"Let them in!"

The guards outside the Ministry of Punishment let the leaders in. The already crowded outer courtyard of the Ministry of Punishment was even more overcrowded at the moment.

"Who is in the hall?"

"My lord Hui, Caomin and others are all hunters. I have known Wang He's family for many years. Someone broke into their house a few days ago."

What the Orion said afterwards was no different from Wang He's, almost the same.

Su Zhen's heart was calm, and her eyes drifted to the outside of the punishment department from time to time.In order to procrastinate, she made these people's eyes focus on this place at the moment, hoping that Yu Changqing could find clues and help Tang Yinchen get rid of the crime.I also hope that the emperor has followed those notes and found Xu Jing's criminal evidence.

"In that case, why didn't you stop it?" Wu Shilang asked.

"Your Excellency! As the saying goes, people don't fight with officials, not to mention they hold weapons. How can the grassroots fight it! But the grassroots have a piece of evidence in their hands, although they wanted to hide it for their own use. But now it's life and death, and my conscience is really uneasy!"

Seeing his exaggerated acting skills, Su Zhen covered her lips with the back of her hand to hide her smile.

"Oh? What physical evidence is it? Take it out and have a look?"

The Orion gritted his teeth and took out a golden token reluctantly.

Xu Jing saw at a glance that it was his token, with the word "Ling" engraved on the front and the word "Captain" on the back, it was an imperial gift
But Xu Chong's pupils narrowed sharply, and he searched carefully in his cuffs, but there was nothing there.

The token given to him by the captain is really gone!

He subconsciously pointed at Su Zhen and shouted angrily, "How is this possible? You must have stolen it!"

Su Zhen showed a very embarrassing smile, "Xu Chong, are you confused? I just met you for the first time, how can you steal?"

"You can find these villagers, how easy it is to steal the gold order from me!"

Su Zhen glanced at it casually, "The material is really good. If it wasn't for the Royal Military Order, or if it was melted and recast, it should be able to sell for a good price."

"Su Zhen! You are absolutely lawless!"

Shang Yici slammed the table hard, wishing to tear Su Zhen's body to pieces immediately.

"Thank you, His Highness King Qin, for your compliment."

Shang Yuchen glanced at her lightly as a warning, but more of it was helplessness.

He immediately asked, "Xu Chong, you keep saying that Su Zhen framed you? What's his motive?"

"It must be that he saw Tang Yinchen was arrested, and he couldn't calm down, so he deliberately framed me!"

Su Zhen smiled, and said in a weird way, "But you are all false logic! It's all your speculation! This idea is totally untenable. Xu Chong, according to my son, you might as well just recruit the behind-the-scenes Master, we all don't need to waste our time here."

Xu Chong's face turned red from anger, and he choked out a sentence for a while, "I didn't kill Widow Xie!"
