Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 913 Suspicion

Chapter 913 Suspicion
Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi immediately lowered his head, and Yu Wenye said: "Father, please forgive me."

"Excuse me?"

As soon as he heard these two words, he recalled that just now the people from the Criminal Department knelt in front of him to report what happened today, saying "forgiveness" one by one, which made Yu Wenyuan even more furious. He gritted his teeth and sneered: "Forgive me for what? Did you do something wrong?"

"..."

"Did you happen to be there when the incident happened, or did you not come back to the palace immediately after the incident to give me an explanation?"

"..."

"or,"

Yu Wenyuan's eyes were cold and stern: "Did some people do this today intentionally?"

These words were like a sharp sword with a bone-chilling chill, piercing the listener's body all at once. Shang Ruyi knelt on the ground. Even though Yu Wenye was beside him, he would naturally answer these words, but he still endured it. I couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of my heart.

Indeed, it is impossible for Yu Wenyuan not to doubt.

Although they deliberately guarded that road today, from the beginning to the end, they never thought that anyone would dare to block the vehicles escorting prisoners from the Criminal Department and risk assassinating the prisoners. However, the relationship between Pei Xingyuan and them is self-evident. A collision will naturally arouse suspicion.

Yu Wenye said calmly: "My father's words are unacceptable to me."

"If you can do it, why can't you afford it?"

"When that incident happened today, Erchen and Ruyi were indeed present, but they did not do it intentionally as my father thought. Pei Xingyuan was assassinated and robbed today, and it had nothing to do with Erchen."

"Since it has nothing to do with you, then answer me, why are you there?"

As he said that, Yu Wenyuan leaned forward slightly. His tall body and calm aura made people feel that the person sitting in the hall was not a person, but a tiger that might pounce at any time: "Really, it's like that 'Just right'?"

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said, "No."

"..."

"My son, I went there on purpose and was there on purpose."

"Specially? What specifically?"

"Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. Ruyi originally wanted to go out of the palace to have a look and have fun with the people. However, I was worried that there would be too many people on the road and something would happen, so I didn't take her there. I couldn't bear to make her sad, so I promised her I went out to the palace today to make up for it.”

"Oh?"

When Yu Wenyuan heard this, he immediately turned to look at Shang Ruyi. Before he could speak, Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Reporting to my father, this is indeed the case. Everything is the fault of my son and minister."

Yu Wenyuan did not refute her last words, but his frown relaxed a little.

However, the next moment, he still looked at Yu Wenye with cold eyes: "So, that's it?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment, and then said: "But, apart from this, Erchen did also intend to go there."

"why?"

"Because I know that my father will summon Pei Xingyuan to the palace for questioning today. I know that I should avoid suspicion, but he and I have a friendship. After he was imprisoned, I have never visited him. He also wanted to avoid suspicion, but when he passed by there today, even if Erchen glanced at him from a distance, it was considered as a friend. If he really had the intention of being rebellious, Erchen would naturally not show mercy after this time. "As soon as he finished speaking, Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Father, what Feng Chen said is true."

"..."

"My son also knows that the car escorting Mr. Pei will pass through that section of the road today. We never thought about what to do at that restaurant, we just wanted to take a look from a distance."

"..."

Yu Wenyuan didn't look at her, and didn't seem to want to talk to her, nor did he want to involve his daughter-in-law in these cases.

He looked at Yu Wenye: "The assassin who killed Pei Xingyuan, and his escape, really have nothing to do with you?"

Yu Wenye raised his head and met those tiger eyes full of suspicion and scrutiny, and said solemnly: "Father, I know that the people who were escorted and the people from the Ministry of Punishment just came here. They must have intercepted and killed Pei on the long journey, and rescued him." Now that everything is clear, I dare to ask my father, given my ability to mobilize troops, if we really want to rob the prison car and kill the prisoners, and we need to cause such a big battle, will there be so many mistakes? "

Yu Wenyuan frowned and said nothing.

Yu Wenye said: "If I really want to do such a thing, I will definitely not come to the scene."

"..."

"Secondly, even if I arrive, it won't be easy for anyone to discover where I am."

"..."

"Third, and most importantly, I will definitely not bring Ruyi with me and let her get involved in this kind of thing."

After hearing the last sentence, Yu Wenyuan's frown finally relaxed.

The intense suspicion in those deep eyes finally dissipated. He slowly sat up straight and even leaned his back against the soft cushion behind him. This movement immediately made Shang Ruyi realize It turns out that his inquiry, suspicion, and pressure just now seemed to be just a test.

Obviously, Yu Wenye could think of these points without having to tell him.

However, Yu Wenye shouldn't be in that place, so he had to ask, and it would be absurd not to ask.

At this time, his breathing gradually became calmer, and then he said: "Get up."

The couple let out a long sigh of relief at the same time. Yu Wenye immediately reached out to support Shang Ruyi beside him. The two stood up together. Yu Wenyuan said to the outside again: "Come in."

Immediately, Eunuch Yu opened the door of the Xuanzheng Hall again, and the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Justice and the principal, including Su Qinglan, walked in.

Shang Ruyi was even more relieved.

Just now, before Yu Wenyuan asked them what they said, he drove all these people out, just to prevent them from seeing how the emperor interrogated King Qin, and not to let them see the confrontation between father and son. Otherwise, If it is really an interrogation, there should be witnesses, insiders, and even jurors present.

Therefore, no matter how much suspicion or suspicion he had, he still protected Yu Wenye after all.

When everyone stood still, Yu Wenyuan raised his finger and pointed at Yan Shaoxuan and said, "Tell the King of Qin what happened today."

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other, both a little surprised.

They have all witnessed what happened today, why do they need a minister of the Ministry of Justice who is completely absent to speak?
And what's even more strange is that the people escorting Pei Xingyuan today were people sent by the palace. Logically speaking, after the carriage left the prison gate, it had nothing to do with the people from the Ministry of Punishment. Why did they all arrive at the Xuanzheng Hall in unison?
Just when the two of them were a little confused, Yan Shaoxuan said to Yu Wenye: "Your Highness King Qin, just after Mr. Pei was escorted away, someone wanted to break into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

"What!?"
