Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 56 The Truth
Even though the King of Sui didn't think too much about it at first, he thought that the criminals captured by the old King Zou were just the robbers who killed his eldest daughter-in-law Chen, but when he heard that the Jingzhao Yamen thought that this group of people were not their favorites, However, all the clan members who had witnessed Chen's murder recognized this group of people as the real culprits, so he wanted to understand what was going on.

Little Yang and Yang Shuo are quite scheming.They didn't directly hire a group of robbers to kill, but they found someone to pretend to be the gang to kill.It seems that most of the people they are looking for are servants of the Yang family, dressed like robbers when committing crimes, and are usually servants of rich families, who would suspect them?
Don't look at the fact that the old King Zou caught the man, which made the Sui Palace seem to be not very concerned about the murder of his heir princess, but the King of Sui knew clearly that his family really sent a lot of people to search carefully. I have been unable to find anyone, and there has been no news from the Jingzhao Yamen.Since the Sui Palace has spent a lot of effort, but still can't find anyone, it is naturally because the murderer is too cunning, all this is the fault of the Yang family sisters and brothers!
The king of Sui didn't want his family's reputation to be damaged.Although he had already made up his mind to urge his eldest son Li Dai to execute Xiao Yang, he did not intend to make a scene known to everyone, causing outsiders to think that the back house of the Sui Palace was restless. Can't manage well.

However, today, old Zou Wang openly brought the murderer to the Sui Palace, asked so many family members to recognize him, and then sent him back to Jingzhao Yamen to report to the officials with great fanfare. It is destined to be impossible to hide this matter.Since those few thieves pretending to be robbers can be found by Old Zou Wang, their backgrounds will soon be exposed.Xiao Yang's crime is about to be condemned to death, and Yang Shuo can't escape.Considering that they are of the same clan as the imperial concubine, maybe the saints in the palace will not let people talk about the case for the sake of the imperial concubine's face, but it is impossible to let the younger brother suffer for the sake of a sister of the imperial concubine's clan.

The revenge of the Sui Palace was actually avenged by the Zou Palace.

Some people may criticize that the Sui Palace is not as caring about the death of the Heir Princess as the Zou Palace, but those rumors are nothing.The father of Chen's natal family had a very deep friendship with the old King Zou, and he could prevaricate it by saying that the old King Zou was very concerned about the death of his friend's daughter.

What Sui Wang was worried about was that the Yang family—to be precise, Yang Zhao and several wives behind the imperial concubine—would bear a grudge against Sui Wangfu because of this incident.After all, Xiao Yang's case was very disgraceful, even if everyone didn't mention it publicly, they would discuss the Yang family's tutoring in private, embarrassing the noble concubine and several ladies of the country.

Concubine Dou comforted her husband: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Now the murderer was caught by the old uncle, and he sent him to Jingzhao Yamen to spread the whole thing. If Jingzhaoyin finally tracked down Yang On the head of the family, that was not intentional by our Sui Palace. Who told Xiao Yang and Yang Shuo to act in a secret manner, so that the old uncle caught their people? There's nothing wrong with it. Xiao Yang is going to die anyway, and in the future everyone will know that she deserves more than a crime, so they won't misunderstand that we have wronged her. If her relatives and friends want to complain, they can't blame us."

King Sui's expression softened when he heard the words: "That's right, it's Xiao Yang's own crimes, and old uncle Wang is eager to help. Our family has been kept in the dark from the beginning to the end!"

The King of Sui made up his mind, and turned his head to suppress his son Li Dai, not allowing him to prevent anyone from finding out the truth about Chen's death, and also advised him to go to the Jingzhao Yamen in person to let outsiders know that he was serious about his wife. He is also very concerned about his death: "It is better to make people think that the Yang family's sister and brother did not keep secrets, which led to the crime being exposed, than to let people know that you have been fooled by a concubine for many years, and almost even the eldest son was murdered! Yang Shuo He often sneaks into the inner courtyard of the palace at night, if it gets out, how many gossips will come out? You don’t care, my old man would be ashamed!” King Sui’s wives, concubines and daughters all lived in the inner courtyard.

Li Dai's face flushed red when he was told, thinking of Xiao Yang, his resentment overwhelmed his resentment.He felt that he had always been very kind to Xiao Yang, so why didn't she just want to be a concubine for the rest of her life, and insisted on making the house restless? !Now he is being pointed at behind his back, saying that he dotes on his concubine and kills his wife, that he is foolish and lustful, that he is ruthless... His reputation has plummeted, but he can no longer use the Yang family's connections to seek a high official position. , All of this was caused by Mrs. Yang!

After Chen's coffin-building ceremony was over, Li Dai hurriedly took a few people to Jingzhao Yamen.He was obviously impatient to go, but he had to act like he cared, and his heart was extremely irritated.There were many clans who left with him, and everyone was very concerned about the reaction of the Jingzhao Yamen.Now that the ceremony on Chen's side is almost over, most people will naturally turn their attention to fresher topics.

Not long after, someone sent a message back.The Jingzhao yamen accepted those gangsters, and also figured out that the gangsters he had compiled were not the same group as the gangsters who killed the heir and concubine of the Sui Dynasty. It was a mistake earlier.Now that the two cases are being tried separately, Jing Zhaoyin started the trial in court under the urging of many nobles from the clan, and soon found out from the mouths of the arrested criminals that they were in a farm that Yang Shuo had purchased privately. The raised servants—or thugs.

There were a dozen or so people in this group, more than half of them had fallen into weeds, all of them were tall and strong, with extraordinary skills, and they often helped Yang Shuo with some shady activities on weekdays.As long as they put on the clothes of Yang Shuo's servants, hide in Yang Shuo's farm, or sneak into Yang Shuo's entourage, no one will know their details.

They were going to kill the Chen family that day, but they were actually following Yang Shuo's order. The content of the order was not only to kill Chen's heir princess, but also Li Jianrang, the eldest son of the heir king. , but absolutely must not hurt Xiao Yang, her daughter, and the maids and maids around them.

It's a pity that after their leader killed Princess Si that day, he suddenly became frightened. When he heard people coming around, he thought it was officers and soldiers who had arrived, so he turned around and fled, forgetting about Li Jian's target.Because of this, they were scolded several times by their master Yang Shuo, and even the reward was cut in half.Two days ago, Yang Shuo sent someone to give them a reward. They thought he had calmed down, but when they opened the door, they were greeted with a sharp knife...

Their leader was the first to be hacked to death.Some of the others were killed before they could resist, and some were killed if they failed to resist.The four who were able to be caught by the old King Zou were all lucky enough to escape in time after hearing the wind and not being in the residence.But even if they escaped, they were chased and killed along the way, which made them look so embarrassed.When they were discovered by the old Zou Wang's personal guards, they had already exhausted their strength and could no longer run away, so they were all arrested voluntarily to avoid the old master's pursuit...

Even if they die, they can still live for a while before they are executed by the government...

All the clans sighed after hearing the murderer's confession.Although it has been expected for a long time that this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Yang, but now that the speculation has become a reality, isn't it amazing?Everyone knew what Xiao Yang was thinking, but it was precisely because of the understanding that she felt that she was wishful thinking.The most pitiful thing is Chen, the victim, and her daughter...

Everyone secretly took a look at Li Wenliang who was left alone. He had always been a little boy surrounded by stars, but now there was only a wet nurse by his side, and no one would answer him.

Sui Wang and his wife ignored the little grandson, his elder sister was still in confinement, the elder sister did not come to the front yard, and his father Li Dai went to the Jingzhao Yamen, and they did not explain anything except sending someone back to take Yang Shuo away. .

Leaving the four-year-old child alone to face all the criticism.
