Yan Cigui.

The British Duke tremblingly arrived outside the royal study.

Seeing Eunuch Cao standing on the porch, he stepped forward and forced a smile: "Why did the Holy Majesty surround our British mansion? Eunuch Cao, please clarify with this old man."

Eunuch Cao waved his hand: "Master Guo, you really don't know what offended His Majesty?"

The British official laughed twice.

Of course he knew.

Although the two sons didn't get any news from Shuntian Mansion, the staff who stayed outside still had some problems.

Eunuch Cao personally visited Shuntian Mansion.

Zhu Zhan persuaded the two brothers of the Yu family to hand over the pleadings to the yamen.

Involved in the poisoning of his wife, Shan Shen will definitely not let Zhu Cheng pass the test easily, and he has already grasped the situation of the prince.

To be more specific, Duke Ying was not sure, so he could only listen to Eunuch Cao.

In the past, when Eunuch Cao was able to raise his hand and vent his breath, he seldom shied away. After all, hello, me, hello, everyone, Eunuch Cao didn't want the Holy One to lose his temper, but now...

Eunuch Cao directly threw the question back.

The British Duke sighed secretly.

It seems that the situation is worse than expected.

Following Eunuch Cao into the Imperial Palace, the British Duke knelt down trembling with his head buried.

The Holy Majesty watched coldly, but didn't cry out, and just let the British Duke kneel down and criticize the papers by himself.

After waiting for half an hour, Xu Jian arrived.

When the holy decree was made to encircle the British government, he also sent people to Shuntian to summon him.

Xu Jian saluted the Holy Majesty, then looked at the British Duke on the ground, pursed his lips, and seemed hesitant to speak.

The Holy One said: "If you have something to say, you don't have to hesitate."

Only then did Xu Jian say: "The British Duke looks 30 to [-] years older than he was in the morning. When he kowtowed to the imperial study room in the early morning, he still didn't shake like this."

The small calculation of Britain's weak publicity was exposed by one word, but it couldn't admit it, so it could only smooth things over for itself: "The old minister is terrified, terrified!"

The Holy One took a deep breath.

After being interrupted by Xu Jian, his anger eased a little.

He didn't question the Duke of England immediately before, because he was afraid that his temper would come up and he would kill the old man directly.

It's not that he can't cut it, but there are still many things to be dug out from the British Duke's mouth. Even if the British Duke dies, he can't be allowed to die with those secrets. He must explain clearly.

He raised his chin at Eunuch Cao, and His Majesty signaled him to help Eunuch Yingying get up.

The British public did not dare to speak up: "The old minister is guilty. The old minister raised such a heartless son..."

After several times of refusal, the British Duke also knew that he couldn't force it, so he got up and sat down on the side.

The Holy Majesty gave up his seat, not necessarily showing mercy.

He just refused to sit upside down, and he couldn't turn things around.

To put it bluntly, the attitude has been shown, and it has little impact on the result.

Taking out his handkerchief, the British gentleman wiped the sweat from his forehead, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and said to Xu Jian: "I knew that unworthy son had such shameful things, how could I have the face to let him stay in Shuntian Mansion?" Living in a side room, eating and drinking, you should go to the prison and reflect on yourself."

Xu Jian said directly: "Don't say that, the meals on the road are all good wine and good food."

The British man choked his breath, knowing that Xu Jian was provocative, he couldn't have an attack, and he couldn't file a complaint, so he could only swallow it.

The Holy Majesty relaxed, and asked Xu Jian, "Tell me about the case."

"Zhu Cheng hasn't pleaded guilty yet, but the poison prescription on Mrs. Zhu's body has been confirmed by the imperial doctor, and the confession from the outside room also points to Zhu Cheng," Xu Jian finished speaking, and then asked the British Duke, "The matter of your son's poisoning, the king of the country Do you have any doubts, my lord?"

Yingying Gongdao: "This old man is extremely heartbroken. As a father, this old man wants to say that the words of the outer room cannot be trusted, but as a subject, this old man believes that Shuntian Mansion will not arbitrarily judge the case."

"I don't know how to interrogate or settle cases. Going to Shuntian Mansion is to follow Mr. Shan to experience the affairs of the yamen." Xu Jian cleared his throat, "Now Mr. Shan is not here, so I can ask whatever comes to my mind, and the Duke of the Kingdom will cooperate and answer what I have. , it’s all easy to deal with.”

The Englishman glanced at His Majesty.

Seeing that His Majesty was not dissatisfied with Xu Jian's attitude of "handling business affairs", he had no choice but to agree.

"How much does the Duke know about the affairs in the outer room?" Xu Jian said.

"I heard that there was such a person who gave birth to a son. Ah Cheng mentioned that he wanted to take him into the mansion, but the old man refused," Yingying said. "The old man has never seen her, and I don't know anything about her."

Xu Jian pretended to be curious: "Have you never seen your grandson?"

"No," the Duke of England waved his hand, "I don't have any shortage of grandchildren, so I don't have to go see the ones born by women outside."

Xu Jian was surprised in his heart, but there was no clue on his face.

Judging from the information they have obtained now, the Duke of England must have a connection with the royal servant, and they are following the same path.

Since Li Mi is the main one, does the British government really have no concern for Li Mi's son?
If it is said that the British public is kept in the dark...

Xu Jian believed that it was Zhu Cheng who was deceived.

"Since you don't know the situation of Mrs. Zhu Fourth, why did you let the eldest daughter-in-law attack her today?" Xu Jian asked again.

The British official waved his hands repeatedly: "This is wronging the old man. The old man definitely didn't instigate anyone to do it. It was her who wanted to help others but did something bad..."

"Help who?" Xu Jian asked, "Help Mrs. Zhu Fourth, or Zhu Cheng?"

"You asked that." The British Duke frowned, and his tone was a bit eager. "No one else in the family knows what happened to Ah Cheng! I don't know, and neither do my other sons and daughter-in-law Know."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Jian asked again: "Do you recognize the royal servant?"

The British Duke was startled for a moment, and didn't answer right away, his shoulders tensed a bit, but he quickly came to his senses: "Which king's servant, there are so many father-in-laws surnamed Wang, I don't know which one you are referring to. "

He didn't answer, but his answer, with such a reaction that was concealed, has been clearly revealed.

The Holy One looked at Xu Jian.

This kid really has some ability.

He said that he didn't understand the case, and he swayed two shots, but when he really shot, he was ruthless and accurate, piercing the red heart.

Xu Jian tried out the answer, so she stopped going around in circles.

"Zhu Cheng colluded with Li Mi's servant Wang Gonggong. The fourth wife of Zhu found out the situation and was poisoned. In order to cooperate with Zhu Cheng, the Wang Gonggong sent a goddaughter to be Zhu Cheng's outer room. According to her, the child is not her own. , it was entrusted by the prince, who could be identified as Li Mi’s son from his facial features. For this reason, I seek Zhu Cheng to explain, and I don’t want to die accidentally.”

As Xu Jian spoke, he cupped his hands with the Holy Master: "Shuntian Mansion is investigating these now."

The Holy Majesty stared at the British Duke for a moment.

The British official hurriedly got up: "Ah, it has something to do with that Li Mi? Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't know, the old minister doesn't know at all, that unworthy son of Cheng'er..."

"Really?" In the voice of the Holy Spirit, the anger gathered again, "I am in a hurry to cut off the wedding after only finding out these things? There is no shortage of grandsons, and there is no shortage of sons, Zhu Chang, you think you can pass the test today if you give up a son. ?"

puff.

The Duke of England fell to his knees again.

This time, he was shaking more than before.

"Everything that the old official said is the truth, and the old official has absolutely nothing to do with Li Mi," the British Duke did not give up, "If you say that the servant of the king next to Li Mi, the old official should have seen him during the first emperor's time.

But it means that he knows someone, if it is said that the old minister colluded with him, there is absolutely no such thing!
On the contrary, the old minister wanted to ask Ah Cheng when he made friends with such a person, and why he was bewitched by that person to raise Li Mi's son. The old minister really couldn't figure it out!
If the Holy Majesty does not believe in the old minister, the old minister will show his ambition by death! "

With a bang, a teacup was thrown and shattered at the feet of the Duke of England.

Eunuch Cao glanced at His Majesty in shock.

In my impression, the Holy Majesty has seldom been so angry in recent years.

The last time I smashed things, I seemed to be blaming the Crown Prince for the injury of Fu Guogong. At that time, there were only father and son in the imperial study, and even Cao Gonggong was sent outside. He was frightened only by the sound of broken porcelain inside.

This time, the British Duke completely offended the Holy Spirit.

In particular, the incident of "His Royal Highness King Ding's poison" has not yet been exposed with the British Duke.

"Are you threatening me?" His Majesty squinted his eyes, and looked down at the British Duke who was kneeling on the ground, "Want to die? Don't worry, you will die sometime."

The British Duke took a deep breath.

He knew very well that he had to persevere.

If you persist, you may not survive, but if you take a step back at this time, you will definitely die.

Not only did he die, but the entire Zhu family had to be buried.

The fingers pressing on the floor tiles were grasping vigorously, and the British prince said word by word: "The old minister refuses to accept.

The old minister believed in Shuntian Mansion, so he didn't question Ah Cheng's connection with Wang's servant.

The old official also knew that if Ah Cheng was involved with Li Mi, it would be a serious crime that would harm the whole family. The old official was convicted because of this, and he had nothing to say.

But the old minister had to fight for his innocence with others. What the old minister didn’t know, he didn’t know. Those who didn’t participate didn’t participate. It was impossible for the veteran minister to serve Li Mi.

During the reign of the first emperor, there was no such thing when the princes were vying for the throne, and even today, there is no such thing!
The veteran must not go to death with such false charges on his back, the veteran has no face to see the late emperor.

If the Holy Majesty can believe the words of the old minister, the old minister will die without regret. "

After finishing speaking, there were three bangs, and the British Duke knocked out blood marks on the floor tiles.

Seeing His Majesty's face turned livid, Xu Jian thought about it, and still had to interrupt Duke Ying's play.

"It's not easy to prove your innocence," Xu Jian said respectfully, "The Holy Majesty handed over this case to the Shuntian Mansion, and the British Duke also said that he trusts the Shuntian Mansion to handle the case. The minister will follow Master Shan, and will definitely find out the truth."

The Holy One pressed his swollen eyebrows and waved his hand.

The British Duke was "invited" out of the imperial study.

The Holy Majesty told Xu Jian, "You know the conclusion from the Imperial Hospital, right?"

Xu Jian replied: "Mr. Cao's envoy conveyed the news to my minister and Mr. Shan, and my minister was extremely shocked."

"The matter is related to the death of King Ding, and we must thoroughly investigate it to the end to comfort the Empress Dowager," the Holy Majesty urged, "Zhu Chang will not let go, and try to make him let go. I still say the same thing, dig three feet to find the king's servant, and he will be able to do it." is the key."

Xu Jian agreed.

Exiting the Imperial Study Room, the British Duke was still standing outside, with blood oozing from his forehead, flowing down, and he didn't wipe it off.

"The Duke is not going back to the mansion?" Xu Jian asked, "Do you still want to follow me to Shuntian Mansion to meet Zhu Cheng?"

"Can I see you?" The British Duke answered subconsciously, and then shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to see that unworthy man."

When father and son meet, he will definitely jump up and scold Zhu Cheng, and draw a clear line with Zhu Cheng inside and outside the words.

Zhu Cheng was let go, can he really carry everything by himself?
The British don't believe it.

What Zhu Cheng said out of desperation fell right into Xu Jian's arms!

Regardless of Xu Jian's young age, he followed Xu Mang to study military books when he was a child, and he used a set of methods, and if he was not careful, he would easily get hurt by him.

Xu Jian helped the Duke of England: "You persuade Zhu Cheng for us, the matter has come to this point, a big mistake has been made, and let him honestly explain the whereabouts of the king's servant.

If you kowtow a few more times in the imperial study room, it will not be as useful as "persuasion meritorious service".

You took the lead in arresting the king's servant, not to mention that the Holy Majesty can show kindness to the family for the sake of what the previous generations of the Zhu family have done for the court, at least you don't have to go to see the late emperor with the infamy of running around for Li Mi.

what do you say? "

The British prince's eyes were red.

The blood on his forehead flowed into his eyes, which was so hot that he covered his eyes.

What a fart he is!

He is already at his age, does he believe that there is a pie in the sky?
The more beautiful and deceptive Xu Jian said, the more unbelievable he was, otherwise he would definitely be taken into the ditch by him.

I'm so kind!

If his family could cut off a few heads, it would be very...

The veil was wiped heavily, the British Duke opened his sticky eyes, and the high walls of the palace as far as he could see were dyed with a layer of red light, which looked very different from usual.

Exciting...

Still can't help but be moved...

I know it's a ditch, or...

"Ah Cheng's study..." the British Duke murmured, and the next moment, he came back to his senses, and his guard was reborn.

Unbelievable, I was really led astray!
Xu Jian is too evil!

Listen to him continue to bewitch me, I don't know how many slips of the tongue I will have.

"The old man is one step ahead." After the British Duke finished speaking, he slammed his sleeves and strode away.

Xu Jian watched him go away, and then returned to Shuntian Mansion.

Shan Shen was still interrogating Zhu Cheng, when seeing Xu Jian came back, he asked, "What did your majesty say?"

Xu Jian glanced at Zhu Cheng.

Judging by his demeanor, Zhu Cheng couldn't bear it anymore amidst the repeated questioning.

"Your Majesty didn't say anything," Xu Jian looked careless, "The British prince broke his head and said that he had nothing to do with the royal servant, it was all caused by Zhu Cheng, and he asked us to investigate carefully and must pay him back." One is innocent. That’s right, he asked us to check in Zhu Cheng’s study, maybe there will be clues.”

"The study really needs to be checked!" Shan Shen said.

At first, it was just an accidental death, and it was the British government again, so they had no reason to rummage through the study.

Now the Holy Majesty ordered Yulin to surround the British government, and they followed Tianfu to investigate the case, justifiably.

"Let's go now." Xu Jian urged Shan Shen deliberately.

Shan Shen was nimble and reacted immediately, got up and strode out.

Before the two of them went out, Zhu Cheng's trembling voice came from behind: "Father, father really said that?"

"Don't believe me?" Xu Jian paused, turned to look at Zhu Cheng, slightly raised his sword eyebrows, "This time it's really not me provoking, it's true.

You are also really unlucky, the outer room that shares the same bed has sold you out of the sky.

She is with you with a purpose, and this move is not outrageous.

The Duke of England is your biological father, and he did not expect to be so eager to part with you.

Admit it, who told you that you still have three elder brothers, your father's move is also to survive by docking his tail, you should understand him.

After all, you are not wronged.

It was you who poisoned the wife, and the relationship with the king's servant..."

"It was him, he told me to find that eunuch!" Suddenly, Zhu Cheng interrupted Xu Jian.

Emotionally agitated, with just one sentence, he was out of breath.

The eyes full of red bloodshot eyes widened, as if dripping blood.
