Shengshichun

Chapter 315 Who said there is no proof of death? (Ask for monthly ticket)
The minister of Dali Temple and the censor of the capital were no longer able to speak out easily.

The prince's eyes were filled with determination.

Under this pull, even if he can't clear away the suspicion, he still can't completely make the emperor and empress trust him, but at least he has dragged the Pei family into the water, and the Pei family can't even think of being clean!

The interests of the imperial power are greater than those of heaven, so there are not many choices for the emperor's heirs. Not only can the emperor and the queen not make easy choices, but the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty cannot afford to risk annihilation of the country. As the prince, he has this trump card. Who wants to go unless it is absolutely necessary? Tear this face apart?

You know, no matter how confident you are, no matter what you do in the end, your skin will still be cut off!

It would be great if Prince Rong and his son died!

Xu Yin did a really good job in this matter!
After the current hurdle is over, he will be the first to take down Pei Zhan! Since Pei Zhan has filed an imperial complaint against him, the Pei family will not be loyal to him in the future. Why should he keep such a minister? !
There are also the Liang family, the Cheng family, and the Du family, all of whom are venting their anger on the Pei family. These veteran heroes are a threat to the emperor's power. They are honest at the moment, but they are suppressed by the emperor. Once the emperor is gone, How could they still listen to themselves? It's a shame that the emperor and empress are so soft-hearted that even after the establishment of the country for so long, they still haven't removed them and gathered power, and they don't think about him as the new king who succeeded him. This is stupid!

He would never make such a mistake!
With such a good opportunity, he wanted to prove their crimes!
Pei Zhan looked at the prince and Xu Yin and sneered.

"Your Majesty, I still have two witnesses in my hand. Please allow me to bring them into the palace."

The prince interrupted: "This case is dead and there is no evidence, what other witnesses do you have?!"

"Who said there is no evidence to the death?!"

As soon as the prince finished speaking, Liang Chen's loud voice came from outside the door! "My colleagues have entered the palace with evidence that the prince ordered the murder of the emperor's eldest son. Prince Rong and his son are both here, asking for permission from the emperor!"

This voice is so loud, the words "Prince Rong and his son" are like thunder to everyone!
"It's Shaoyang!" The queen stood up, "It's him back! What did he just say? Prince Rong and his son?"

The emperor also straightened his body, his eyes gleaming with sharp light: "Xuan!"

The prince's face changed drastically when he heard this: "This is impossible! Prince Rong and his son have committed suicide out of fear of crime!"

"...Your Majesty! I deserve death for my crime!"

Immediately after the prince's voice, King Rong's cry of pain came from the door of the palace!
Everyone in the hall looked around and saw that under the leadership of Liang Chen, Prince Rong and his son knelt down under the threshold with their hair in messy clothes, and then walked to the hall on their knees!
"You, aren't you dead?!" The prince pointed at them alive in front of him and looked at Xu Yin with wide eyes.

No matter how calm Xu Yin was, his expression changed at this time.

He expected that Xu Lian only had half the chance of success, but he didn't think Fu Zhen could interfere with anything!
But he really lost!

Fu Zhen deceived Lian Ruan!

She really suspected Xu Lian!

But how did she suspect it?

Why did she——

Xu Yin thought of the thought he had earlier, and Liang Ning's shadow appeared in front of him again. A sudden panic came to his heart, and all the suspicions that had been suppressed came back overwhelmingly! …

"What's going on?" The emperor's voice drew everyone's attention, "Why did you say before that you had committed suicide out of fear of crime?!"

Prince Rong and his son lay on the ground and kowtowed one after another: "Reporting to the emperor, the guilty minister did not dare to escape his responsibility. When General Liang and General Du arrived at the palace, the guilty minister delayed for a while, but just as he was delaying, Xu Yin actually ordered his five-year-old child to come and poison the guilty minister!

"The guilty minister did not commit suicide, but the thief Xu Yin tried to kill me and silence me!"

The emperor slapped the case: "Xu Yin!"

Xu Yin, who was still kneeling on the ground, raised his head: "Your Majesty! This is unjust!"

"To inform the emperor, Xu Lian and Xu Yin's wives are already waiting for trial outside the palace gate. If the emperor allows it, I can bring them in immediately to testify!"

Liang Chen's sonorous voice came out immediately after Xu Yin. The emperor didn't give Xu Yin any chance to get entangled, and immediately said: "Send them in!"

After speaking, he added: "Bring in all the other witnesses! Including the witnesses who just accompanied me, don't leave any behind!"

Liang Chen immediately accepted the order and strode out of the palace gate!
Pei Zhan didn't have time to ask him about the cause and effect, but the same thing happened to him when he asked Prince Rong and his son. He glanced at Xu Yin, whose face was tense, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, why don't we start with Prince Rong and his son?"

The emperor turned his attention to King Rong: "Xu Yin sent Xu Lian to poison you, why didn't he succeed?"

At this point, how could King Rong still have the courage to cover up? Immediately, all the bamboo tubes were poured out:
"When General Liang and General Du arrived at the palace, General Pei's wife Fu Zhen also came with General Liang's son Liang Xuan.

"Mrs. Fu had the foresight to pretend to avoid the eyes and ears of the servants sent by Xu Yin. After he left, she asked Liang Xuan to cut off the poison from Xu Lian's hand, and then discussed it with the guilty minister's daughter-in-law Zhang. I came up with this idea, which is to first release the news that the guilty subject committed suicide by poisoning, so as to induce the real culprit behind it to believe the truth and expose the flaw. When the time is right, the guilty subject will show up to testify again.

"The guilty minister agreed to this strategy because he thought that this would expose the prince as the real culprit.

"Not long after, General Liang arrived and learned from him that Mrs. Fu's strategy worked, so the two generals brought the guilty father and son into the palace.

"The guilty minister did not intend to deceive the emperor, but please forgive me!"

"You didn't just deceive me today! You father and son killed my son with your own hands. You deceived me for six years! You didn't let the news out at all!"

The emperor's roaring voice resounded throughout the hall, and no one dared to express his anger at this moment.

Yang Zhan lay on the ground shivering, and King Rong cried: "The guilty minister deserves to die! The guilty minister deserves to die!..."

"Tell me all the causes and consequences!" The emperor pointed at him, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, "Don't hide a word. The origins of this letter, this fan and this square handkerchief, I will tell you everything." To know!"

The prince was already slowly retreating, his eyes meeting Xu Yin. Xu Yin also stood up when no one was paying attention!

But how could Pei Zhan allow them to take advantage of the loophole?
He suddenly shouted: "Where are the Imperial Guards?! Come and guard the door!"

The empress, who was waiting with all her heart and soul for King Rong to explain what happened, heard this and immediately turned her eyes towards the two princes!

"Take them down!" The imperial guards at the door rushed in and detained about two people!

The emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at King Rong: "Quick move!"

King Rong immediately cried: "Your Majesty, spare your life! All this was ordered by the prince. Even if the guilty minister had the courage, he would not dare to kill the prince!"

"Then why do you listen to his instructions!"

Everyone already knows who the real culprit is. Even if Prince Rong personally accuses the prince, no one will waste any more time on it.

"Because, because my son is confused!"

When King Rong said this, he raised his hand and slapped Yang Zhan on the back of the head: "You tell me!"

Yang Zhan stopped sobbing and said: "One night in March of the 16th year of Shengyuan, the prince suddenly found the guilty minister. Why did he ask me to do something for him? He said that a trouble in his heart appeared. This person seemed to want to He wants to enter Beijing, but he must not be allowed to enter Beijing.

"He asked me to find this person secretly and take him outside the Northwest Pass so that he can never return to the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially not let him enter the capital. If that doesn't work, he will be injured or disabled.

“At that time, the prince did not say who this person was, and the guilty minister never expected that he would be the eldest son of the emperor.

"So I followed his instructions and searched for this person according to the clues he gave. However, after searching for several months, I could not find this person. The people who were sent out came back and said that they always found this person's location based on the clues. The earth is always a step late.

"Later, I searched and searched, and the clues were getting closer and closer to the capital, so the guilty minister had to report it to the prince.

"The prince was furious and said that if I can't do this, I won't be able to become the crown prince! The emperor knows that the guilty minister is incompetent and has lived by his status as the crown prince for the rest of his life, so he dare not not do it. In the end When he found out the exact news, he had already quietly come to Beijing!

"It was indeed the night of August 12th. I went into the East Palace in the evening to confirm with the prince whether we could get the person out of the customs? The prince said that everyone had already arrived in the capital and it was impossible to get rid of him. He asked me to let him out. If you couldn't kill him, you would at least have to destroy his limbs and cut off his tongue.

"The guilty minister has always had a close relationship with the prince, and knew that someone with his status would not have any enemies. Therefore, feeling that the matter was of great importance, he asked the prince for his identity.

"He didn't say anything at first, but since he didn't say anything, I refused to do it. Finally, he informed me of His Highness's identity!

"My legs were shaking with fear, but the prince analyzed the pros and cons with me, and the guilty minister felt that what he said was reasonable..."

Having said this, he raised his head and glanced fearfully at the empress above.

The emperor said coldly: "What did he tell you?!"

Yang Zhan swallowed his saliva and continued: "He said that our Prince Rong's Mansion owes its current prosperity and wealth to the Emperor's memory of old love. Without this old love, our Prince Rong's Mansion is just an ordinary clan.

"He said that based on his friendship with the guilty minister, when he succeeds to the throne and becomes the new king, he will naturally take more care of Prince Rong's palace.

"But if His Highness comes back, it will be different. The Emperor and the Empress have been thinking about His Highness for so many years and have been secretly searching for him. Once he comes back, sooner or later, they will be outdone by His Highness. The position of the Crown Prince is in jeopardy. .

"And if His Highness becomes the crown prince, he has no affection for Prince Rong's Palace, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take Prince Rong's Palace seriously.

"He said that if I want to be Prince Taiping in the future, then before the emperor and the empress know the whereabouts of His Highness, we should get him out of the country first so that he can never return to the royal family. Only in this way can we both be safe.

“I was convinced by him and started making arrangements after returning home.

"His Highness came to the city around moonlight time. I first found him in the restaurant where he worked. First, I threatened him with words and took the children out of the city. Unexpectedly, he ignored me.

"There were many people in the restaurant, so I couldn't use force. So I followed him secretly. Late at night, he left the restaurant with his children and entered Baiyu Alley. That's when I started to take action.

"After all, I was worried about his identity, so I didn't dare to use the knife as soon as he came up, so I still threatened him.

"Instead, he scolded me and said that I was confused and wanted to sue the police. I pulled him and he hit me! I was afraid of attracting the attention of people around me, so I took out a knife to scare him. He struggled and tried to run away, and then I... so I--"

At this point, he was shaking so much that he could no longer speak, as if the palace in front of him was not the palace, but a late-night alley that had turned into a pool of blood!

He opened his eyes wide in fear, picked up his head, and then closed his eyes tightly again!
The queen stood up and tried several times before speaking out: "You, you killed my Yi'er like this! You beast! Your Majesty and I treat you very well!"

She grabbed the teapot next to her and threw it at him!

The teapot hit him in the chest, and he fell to the ground with a cry. The teapot also fell to the ground and broke into several large pieces!

The palace maid quickly came up and helped her sit down.

The emperor looked away from her and looked at King Rong through gritted teeth: "When did you know about it? What did you do about it?!"

King Rong cried bitterly: "After he committed the crime, he panicked so much that I bumped into him when he ran back to the palace. I knew that he had committed such a big crime and was afraid of killing the clan, so I could only follow the prince's wishes and stayed overnight. Find Zhang Shicheng, who is on duty in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, to help clean up the aftermath!

"We all thought everything was safe, but in the end we found out that the murderous dagger was missing!

"But that dagger is easy to identify, and it has a lot of history, so we have to dig deep to find it!
"Zhang Shicheng led people to search and found Xu Yin's residence at that time. But we didn't know at the time that the dagger had been picked up by Liang Ning from the Fuguo General's Mansion, and had also been shown to Xu Yin.

"Early the next morning, Xu Yin found me through Yongping, and he volunteered and said he could help us get the dagger.

"Three days later, Liang Ning was burned to death in Baihe Temple. On the morning after she was burned to death, he came to tell me that the dagger was destroyed and that no one would know about the case."

"So you made him your son-in-law?!"

"No!" King Rong looked at Xu Yin with hatred in his eyes, "He was the one who plotted Yong Ping! He knew that he couldn't bring back the knife and I couldn't tolerate him, so he lied to Liang Ning before secretly going to Baihe Temple and burning him to death. He took away Yongping’s body! He was the one who burned him to death! He also killed Yongping’s mother!

"These three pieces of evidence were indeed obtained by me from His Highness at that time! I was afraid that the Crown Prince would turn around and deny him, so I hid them on purpose?
"I don't know why Xu Yin knew about this fan. He instigated Yongping and his mother to get these things in an attempt to take them to him!

"Then in the Wangfu ancestral hall, he pushed Yongping's mother on the edge of a knife! He was the murderer, and he killed two living people!"

King Rong's accusations became louder and louder, and the hand pointed at Xu Yin was already like an execution bayonet!
