Chapter 620 Acknowledging the truth bit by bit

Oh my God!
Hearing this, both Jiang Zhifu and Yao Zhixian shuddered at the same time.

"This Su Quan, he, he, he...he actually has something to do with Princess Zhenxi?" Yao Zhixian stammered and asked.

It's no wonder that when they went to visit King Zhenxi that time, Princess Zhenxi ignored them so much.And what King Zhenxi said later, now has an explanation!
He quickly turned around and looked at Jiang Zhifu: "Brother-in-law, what should we do now?"

Prefect Jiang also turned pale with fright.

How did he know that Su Quan was actually the younger brother of Princess Zhenxi!And that mighty general Su An, this one is the real celebrity in front of the emperor.These days in the capital, they have been trying every means to associate with him, but the mighty general ignored them at all.It turned out to be because of this!
He began to shake.

He hurriedly looked at Mr. Zhang as if asking for help: "Brother, I don't know..."

"I didn't know you could do such a thing?" Mr. Zhang scolded immediately with a straight face, "Besides, why have you been in the capital for so long, and I have never heard you mention this person?"

Because they thought that Su Quan was a powerless little ant, who could be crushed to death with any movement of their feet!They still have a lot of important things to do in the capital, who has the thought to mention this ant?
In the end, who would have thought that an ant is not an ant, but a giant python!

But how could they have thought that this magistrate of Qin'an County, who had the same surname as Princess Zhenxi, was so powerful!
"It's been so many years, and I haven't heard him talk about his relationship with King Zhenxi! They don't have much contact with each other, are you making a mistake?" He asked in a low voice.

Mr. Zhang really wanted to slap him to the point of fainting, that would be better than him still talking nonsense here!

"Su Quan, the younger brother of Princess Zhenxi, entered the rank of scholar three years ago, and then invited him to go to the border to become an official. In the past three years, he worked hard and did things for the people. He never showed off his power just because he was the younger brother of King Zhenxi He never took advantage of the common people because of this. The reason why he didn't tell others his identity was because he didn't want to use his sister and younger brother's name to make his way to the top, he just wanted to use his real ability to earn a real name for himself!"

He said loudly, and then stared coldly at the pair of brothers-in-law and brother-in-law: "Now, you still haven't told the truth?"

"The truth... This is the truth! We have said it several times, and his confession is here, this is the truth! Please let the emperor know!" Jiang Zhifu gritted his teeth and knelt down and yelled.

The magistrate of Yao county followed suit and knelt down: "Please learn from the emperor!"

They insisted that they were relatives of the queen, and they had the Zhang family behind them, so their backing was strong enough.They didn't believe that the emperor would really overthrow them, and went to stand up for the younger brother of Princess Zhenxi!

Regardless of whether it's Princess Zhenxi or the mighty general, isn't it because the emperor and empress are willing to give them face that they have achieved their status today?If they insist on confronting the emperor, their dragon face will be damaged, and they will die without a place to bury them!

The face of the emperor above suddenly became very ugly.

Master Zhang also looked livid.

Until this time, the mighty general Su An, who had been standing aside without saying a word, slowly said: "Your Majesty, I have an impression of this humble minister. It was brought as a dowry by my sister-in-law. She was planting it in Wushan Village at that time. Yes. Although it was not popularized and planted at that time, the villagers in the whole Wushan Village knew about this thing. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to Wushan Village to inquire about it. Maybe it’s still planted in everyone’s field now!”

In other words, Su Quan and the others knew Tuyam long before Jiang Zhifu and the others did not know how long, and the confession made by Jiang Zhifu and the others was purely a joke.

Both of them immediately began to tremble.

After Su An finished speaking, he backed away.

The emperor looked at the two people below coldly: "Now, what else do you have to say?"

Yao Zhixian's eyes were blackened, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.His brain was already on strike, and his mouth was trembling non-stop, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Prefect Jiang was calmer.As soon as he rolled his eyes, he shouted: "In this way, the official may have misunderstood him. However, since the father-in-law of Su Zhi County can get this potato, the official can also get it. And the official I really didn’t know that Suzhi County was also planting potatoes. If he had explained the situation to the officials earlier, the officials would not have regarded him as a thief who stole the seeds! Now that things have come to this point, the officials know their mistakes. I am willing to apologize to Suzhi County and admit my mistakes, and then share the credit with him!"

Apologizing and admitting mistakes, sharing credit... Heh, his tone is really generous!But as for his unreasonable slander and torture against Su Quan... By the way, it's still one thing whether Su Quan did it or not!For these crucial things, he didn't mention a word, trying to get away with it.

The emperor above has stopped talking, once the courtiers below find out that there is something tricky in it, and it also involves Princess Zhenxi and the mighty general.Looking at the Emperor's intentions, he didn't make any clear statement. Everyone had thoughts in their hearts, so they quickly chose the team.

Immediately, Master Qu stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that this matter is so complicated that you can't tell the reason just by debating it in the court. If this is the case, why not order someone to go to Qinzhou to investigate thoroughly?" It’s better to restore the cause and effect, and to give justice to the innocent!”

As for those who steal people's merits and want to kill those who have meritorious deeds, they must be severely punished.

Prefect Jiang's hands and feet also began to tremble uncontrollably.

Yao Zhixian over there thumped and fell to the ground, unconscious!
Mr. Qu's words immediately won a lot of approval.

Mr. Zhang looked at Jiang Zhifu, then at Yao Zhixian, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Your Majesty!" he yelled quickly, "I think there may be some misunderstanding in this matter. Since the prefect Jiang and the others are here, it's better to let them explain the loss clearly first, and then send someone to investigate thoroughly."

As he said that, he gave Jiang Zhifu another hard look: "Hurry up and tell me everything about Su Zhi County!"

Mr. Zhang's glance was cruel enough.When Jiang Zhifu saw him like this, he was shocked suddenly, and then he kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake, I really blamed Su Zhixian!"

Then, he told the story of his relationship with Brother Quan again.Of course, it is also necessary to add oil and vinegar, and then turn the situation a little bit on his side, and say a few good words for himself when there is a need.

It's just that, from the beginning to now, he said it three times, but he has already changed his words twice.Who can get into the court without a person with an exquisite heart?Seeing Jiang Zhifu's tone and Yao Zhixian's virtue, they already knew it in their hearts.

The emperor above also looked aside with a sullen face: "Have you written down what Jiang Zhifu said?"

"Go back to the emperor, and write it down. When I turn back, the old slave will send the things to the Ministry of punishment, and let the Ministry of punishment keep it as evidence." The old eunuch quickly dried the ink and sent it to the emperor.

When Prefect Jiang heard this, he softened immediately.

And Yao Zhixian woke up in a daze, and he caught the words of the Ministry of Justice in his ears. He immediately jumped up in fright, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The emperor spares my life! All this is actually my brother-in-law. He taught me, the mastermind is him! I just listen to his words, and after returning to the capital, the subordinate officials are all at his mercy, he is the mastermind, please be careful!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Zhifu hurriedly pulled him over, but Yao Zhixian threw him away, and even crawled away far away, to show that he distanced himself from him.

"Master Zhifu, things have come to this point, so stop making excuses, can't you admit your mistakes honestly? I didn't know what this potato was before. It was a few acres of land planted by Suzhi County, and then I gave it to you. A basket came, and I gave you a detailed expansion plan. After seeing it, you thought it was very good, and you wanted to take the credit for yourself. You asked him for a few more baskets of potatoes on the pretext of making connections with others. He called over, saying that he wanted to know the feasibility of this matter, and asked him to tell you in detail the process of cultivating potatoes. Then, you turned around and gave me all the potatoes and planting methods, and let me go He also kept saying that the credit will be ours at that time, and if the surname Su dares to make trouble, we will kill him!"

"You also said that now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, it is time to accomplish a major event. If we make this achievement at this time, we are helping the emperor. The emperor must be happy. Then not only the two of us, but also our wives and children will have a bright future. Unlimited. I don't know why I was stunned by your ecstasy, so I did this with you. Now I regret it!"

Shouting these words loudly, Yao Zhixian kowtowed to the emperor again.

It's over, it's all over now.

Jiang Zhifu's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, and he collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

At this point, the truth is revealed.

When the news spread back to the northwest, Li Er just raised his lips and hummed: "This emperor is worth following."
