Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 226 Absolutely Denied
Just in case, Di Renjie also sent someone to the East Palace to ask the crown prince Li Chengqian for support.

After Li Chengqian received Di Renjie's request for help, he immediately ordered Cheng Wuting to lead the guards of the Eastern Palace, and the soldiers and horses of Xunwei and Yiwei under the command of the Eastern Palace to go to support.

With the support of the East Palace, Di Renjie quickly took down all of Zhang Liang's more than 200 fakes who were hiding in Anyifang.

After a rigorous interrogation, except for these people, no other questions were asked.

On the other side, Ma Tuesday hurried to the prison to interrogate Zhang Liang.

"Zhang Liang, your fake son Gongsun Chang and the sorcerer Cheng Gongying have recruited everything, and they accuse you of treason." After seeing Zhang Liang, Ma Zhou didn't greet him politely, and went straight to the point.

Zhang Liang was taken aback!At the same time, he also greeted all the eighteen generations of women who were the ancestors of Cheng Gongying and the two of them in his heart.

On the surface, it was heartbroken, and Zhang Liang sighed, just when the two thought that Zhang Liang was going to confess and be lenient.

Zhang Liang said, "I treat them as relatives, and I never treat them badly. I didn't expect them to frame me. I am really wronged!"

Ma Zhou's face was ugly, the matter had come to this point, Zhang Liang was still sophistrying, if he hadn't rebelled, Cheng Gongying and the two could testify against him.

Also framed, it is necessary for Cheng Gongying and the two to go to great lengths to frame you, is that necessary?

"Why did the two of them frame you? If you hadn't told him, how could they say that you wanted to rebel." Ma Zhou said.

"Ma Shilang doesn't know something. The two of them have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, forgetting righteousness for profit, and they don't understand what loyalty and filial piety are."

"They were afraid that they would frame me for treason. Ma Shilang must not listen to the slander and die innocently." Zhang Liang quibbled.

Then Zhang Liang said to Ma Zhou that he was an old minister of Zuo Ming, and he said a lot of things, all about how loyal he was to Datang, how loyal he was to His Majesty Li Er, and how he had no second thoughts.

No matter what Ma Zhou asked, Zhang Liang denied it flatly, and even argued that he had absolutely no intention of disobedience, and that it was the treacherous villain who was setting him up.

Seeing that nothing came out of the question, Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia gave up and went back to wait for news from Di Renjie.

I hope that Di Renjie will gain something new.

Ma Zhou waited in Dali Temple for a long time, and then Di Renjie brought back the 200 people he found in Anyifang.

"Di Shaoqing! Ma Shilang and Sun Qing are waiting for you. After you come back, you must go to see them immediately." A yamen servant stepped forward and said to Di Renjie.

"I see, let's go now!" Di Renjie nodded, then turned around and said: "Take care of these people first, and the others will run away!"

"Don't worry, Shaoqing! With the brothers here, we will definitely not let them escape!" the yamen servant assured Di Renjie.

Di Renjie turned around and went inside to meet Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia. The three greeted each other and finished their ceremony.

Ma Zhou asked, "Di Shaoqing, how is your situation? Have you found anything new?"

"Except for the arrest of more than 200 people in Anyifang, there is no other discovery. I also asked these people, but no one knew about Zhang Liang, and no one knew whether Zhang Liang had other fakes." Di Renjie said , just ask the last question.

"Ma Shilang, how is the situation on your side? Zhang Liang has already confessed to his treason."

"Zhang Liang refused to admit that he was treasonous, and even talked nonsense with us, but it was of no use." Ma Zhou smiled wryly.

"Yes! What should we do now? Your Majesty ordered me to solve the case in a short period of time. If Zhang Liang refuses to admit it, what should we do?"

"Di Shaoqing, I wonder if there is any way you can get Zhang Liang to speak?" Sun Fujia said, how he hoped that Di Renjie could help him solve this matter.

Although Sun Fujia is the Minister of Dali Temple, he is different from the two people in front of him. Di Renjie belongs to the prince. If Zhang Liang's case is not handled well, Di Renjie has the support of the prince and is so young.

If the emperor really blamed him, he would not let him take the blame, at most he would reprimand him mildly.

Ma Zhou is the long history of Jin Wangfu, who is Jin Wang?That was the emperor's most beloved son, and it wouldn't be a big problem if King Jin would blow Ma Zhou into the emperor's ears.

His Sun Fujia will be miserable. If Zhang Liang's case is not handled well, he will not be able to escape if he is not good at handling the case. If the emperor is furious, losing Wusha is a minor matter, but his life is not safe.

Ma Zhou's eyes were also focused on Di Renjie, hoping that this young Shaoqing could bring him unexpected gains again.

"With the confessions of Cheng Gongying and the other two, Zhang Liang can deny it categorically. It may not be easy to get an answer from him."

"What's more, time is running out now, Your Majesty and His Highness are still waiting, even if they try to find a way, they won't do it for a while." Di Renjie said.

Time is running out, and it is definitely too late to think of his solution. Even if Di Renjie can wait, the emperor may not be willing to wait any longer.

"Then what should we do now?" Sun Fujia asked anxiously, now he is really confused.

But it's not a problem to be in a hurry.

Ma Zhou sighed helplessly. After all, Di Renjie was too young and didn't have enough experience. Even if he was smart, he couldn't recover.

"Just report the results of the interrogation of Cheng Gongying and the two to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Di Renjie said.

Sun Fujia opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

"Now it's too late to find a way to get Zhang Liang to speak. Take Cheng Gongying's confession and report to His Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe His Highness can ask His Majesty for a little more time." Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie could see Sun Fujia's worry!The old man usually takes care of him, so he reciprocates.

Sun Fujia thought about it for a second, and felt that what Di Renjie said made sense. Instead of making random guesses here, it is better to ask the prince to help say a few good words.

"Di Shaoqing's words are reasonable. I wonder what Ma Shilang thinks?" Sun Fujia talked to Di Renjie, and at the same time asked Ma Zhou's opinion.

Sun Fujia was really worried that Ma Zhou would refuse straight away, and then give a lecture, so he looked at Ma Zhou eagerly.

But I prayed in my heart that Ma Zhou would never refuse.

Perhaps Sun Fujia's prayer was sincere enough, and Ma Zhou did not obstruct it.

"I also have the same intention. It should not be too late. Let's go to the East Palace to visit His Highness the Crown Prince! Tell His Highness about this matter and decide it here." Ma Zhou said.

Sun Fujia was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to pack up all the confessions and files related to Zhang Liang's treason case.

Only then did Sun Fujia and the other three take these objects and went to the East Palace to meet the crown prince!
