The Way of Favors

Putting the corpse away, Xu Jia told the four subordinates to retreat. Compared with Ji Qingting’s pale and frightened expression, his face was indifferent and indifferent. He stared into Ji Qingting’s eyes and said: "What else do you have to say? You can Sophistry, but you still have two livelihoods in our hands. Before handing over to the government, the prince sent me to ask clearly, why do you want to assassinate?"

Ji Qingting was desperate.

When looking at the appearance of the four corpses, he found that only two of them were sent out by him. He had more doubts than fear. When Xu Jia said that there were still two livelihoods, it should be the other two people he sent out. Understand that he has no qualifications to deny sophistry.

But he is not reconciled!

Plopping down on his knees, Ji Qingting tremblingly pointed at the two of them, and stammered: "They, they two are not mine! I just can't understand that Ruyizhai's business has robbed Feng Laiyi in the limelight. I want to teach Gu a lesson. Lady, never thought of murdering the prince, please be careful, I never thought of murdering the prince!"

He could not survive anyway, but he still had his parents, wife, and child. The murder of Gu Niangzi was done by him alone, so he would pay for his life. The murder of the prince was a serious crime against the nine people. Ji Qingting could not confess his guilt. He did not do it. Yes, he can't plead guilty!

"Please be aware of the prince, please be aware of the prince!" He repeatedly knocked his head, as if he had forgotten the pain.

"When you die, you still refuse to tell the truth. It's not yours, why would you join yours? Today is the king's fate, otherwise I will kill you now!" After the cold voice, Xu Jia turned around. To go.

"The adults stay, the adults stay!" Ji Qingting ran after him on his knees, reaching out to hug Xu Jia's thigh, but Xu Jia kicked him away. Ji Qingting rolled on the ground and saw Xu Jia stop. He kowtowed again: "My lord, you believe me, give me ten heads and I dare not murder the prince. I sent someone to assassinate Gu Niangzi. I am willing to be punished, but I really didn't murder the prince. I beg your lord to observe it!"

Xu Jia frowned, pulled out his sword, and handed the tip of the sword to Ji Qingting: "You really didn't send these two people out?"

Ji Qingting desperately shook his head and raised his hand to swear to the sky: "If I dare to be unruly towards the prince, let me live forever and never exceed my life!"

Xu Jia snorted coldly, not caring about his oath, turned his eyes on the two corpses, and returned to Ji Qingting's face, "When did you kill Gu Niangzi, and who did you plan with? , One, five and one ten are all recruited. If there is a half-word, tomorrow will be the death of your Ji family's three-bedroom and youngest!"

Ji Qingting's face was gray, and he knelt on the ground in despair, and said the grudge between him and Lady Gu.

Xu Jiazhang seemed to listen carefully, and interrupted Ji Qingting when he finished explaining and begging for mercy: "Assuming that those two people are not yours, how do they know that you are going to do it today? Or did you mention it to others beforehand and be accused by the prince's enemy? There is a gap? To be honest, you are a small merchant. The prince also thinks that you are not so courageous, so he sent me to check it carefully, lest you become a ghost, and the prince’s enemy continues to live at ease."

scapegoat?

Ji Qingting slowly raised his head, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Pan Clan, Qing Guo Gongfu, Yongning Princess, Cheng Wang, Su Wang...

With suspicion, there seems to be an explanation today.

Ji Qingting laughed suddenly, and fell to the ground with a smile, bitterly: "That bitch, that **** dare to harm me like this! I think Ji Qingting has touched so many women, but I didn't expect to end up with a woman. On..."

"Who is she?" Xu Jia sternly interrupted his self-deprecation.

Ji Qingting raised his eyes to look at him, and said every word: "Qing Guo Gong Mansion, it is Qing Guo Gong Mansion that wants to harm the prince!"

Pan and Princess Yongning are really good plans. If it weren't for King Su's suspicion, not only would Ji Qingting die unjustly, but dozens of people in the Ji family would have to follow the unjust death! Well, since the other party dared to lie to him as a scapegoat, then he had to kill them for the sake of this tone, for the Ji family's old and young!

At the second shift, Chongzheng Palace.

Emperor Jiahe hurried over and saw his beloved son who had almost escaped today. His steps became faster. Before Xu Jin saluted him, he steadily helped him up, looked at his arm and said, "How is the injury? Let you recuperate, what did you do when you ran into the palace overnight? What about the spread of toxins?"

Distressedly helped people into it.

Xu Jin said as he walked: "Father, don't worry, the imperial doctor has cleaned up the poison. Now it is just a trauma, and it will be fine for a while. The child minister came over overnight and found the murderer, but the murderer refused to plead guilty and insisted that there was something else. The real culprit. This matter has a lot to do with it. The sons and ministers dare not call the shots without permission, and it is not easy to hand it over to Dali Temple and ask the emperor to interrogate himself.

Emperor Jiahe had a solemn expression, and ordered the miscellaneous people to retreat, leaving only one confidant by his side.

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Jin sent in Ji Qingting with a black cloth on his head.

In the middle of the night, there was heavy dew, and the palace was silent, only the Chongzheng Hall was bright.

"The Caomin's sentence is true. If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can send someone to inquire about it. At that time, Caomin suspected that Lady Gu was the runaway maidservant of our house. Because the prince did not dare to force him, Mrs. Tuo Shizi went to inquire. In the month of the month, the third wife of the third generation came to meet me again in the beginning of May. I had already given up on this matter, but the wife of the second passed the word for Princess Yongning, saying that she would support me and let me let go and deal with Gu. Lady."

"The Caomin couldn't understand why Princess Yongning wanted to support Caomin and hesitated. His wife explained that Princess Yongning and Concubine Su were not in harmony. The Caomin was relieved. Unexpectedly, the result today was unexpected. The emperor, Caomin was drunk and murdered and bullied his son The wife later committed adultery with her, and now she seeks fortune and kills her life. The crime of the grass-roots people deserves death and death. Only the crime of murdering the prince cannot be admitted. Please also ask the emperor to investigate!"

He knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Emperor Jiahe looked at Wanquan, an old slave who had served him for more than 30 years. He saw Wanquan looking down as a stone sculpture, then looked at his son who was standing on the other side with gauze wrapped in his arm, and asked: "Jingxing What do you think? Do you think he is credible?"

Xu Jin knelt down and said, "This matter involves too much. It was too late when Erchen returned to the city. He just caught this person first, and only listened to his one-sided words. It is not easy to thoroughly investigate his words for the time being. It’s true and false, so I don’t dare to make assertions. But since the aunt and grandmother are involved, the children and ministers must tell their father and emperor about something."

Emperor Jiahe nodded: "Say."

Xu Jin then told the acquaintance between Liu Ruyi and Fu Rong, the grudge between Liu Ruyi and Xu Yaocheng, and the truth of her sudden death.

Emperor Jiahe immediately believed.

Killing all the women who have a relationship with her husband has always been Princess Yongning’s favor. She indulges her son to take concubines, and treats her son-in-law as harsh as her husband. If he weren’t for the emperor, I’m afraid Princess Yongning would take care of his son-in-law. Private affairs in the backyard. And Princess Yongning has such a face-saving disposition, and the fourth daughter-in-law is so openly against her, it is no wonder that she wants to kill someone with a knife.

Killing the fourth daughter-in-law is regarded as getting rid of her thorns, and killing the fourth wife by the way...

They were all flesh and blood. Before there was complete evidence, Emperor Jiahe quickly interrupted the thought that made his heart chill.

But if this matter is really the work of Princess Yongning, Emperor Jiahe can never indulge her anymore. Now he is still alive, and certain thoughts of Princess Yongning are pressed in her heart. In the future, if he goes or gets sick, will Princess Yongning abet His fifth...

The chill in Emperor Jiahe's eyes flashed, and he first signaled Xu Jin to get up, and then said to Ji Qingting: "Speaking is no proof. I will verify what you have said before, but I must hear it personally to be sure. Ji Qingting, tomorrow I will hear the news that the murderer has escaped and has not been brought back to justice. Then I will give you another month to live a good life. You have nothing to do with the assassination of King Su. When the third day of next month, I will come to Fenglaiyi to listen to it. You confront that person, and if it proves that you were indeed wronged, I will spare your family, otherwise the Ji family will suffer the crime of Ling Chi!"

"The emperor is wise, the Caomin thanked the emperor for sparing the Ji family's youngest!" Ji Qingting began to cry as if he was pardoned.

Emperor Jiahe Zhao Wanquan winked: "Send him out and don't disturb anyone. If you leak the least bit of news, you will be guilty of the same crime as the Ji family."

Wanquan bowed and bowed: "The emperor can rest assured, the old slave understands."

Emperor Jiahe nodded and waited for Wanquan to take Ji Qingting away. He looked at Xu Jin and sighed, "Jingxing go back and take care of your injuries. Remember, the emperor will not let you bleed in vain. The matter has been found out. Since I will give you an explanation for your husband and wife, please don’t speculate unless you know it."

Xu Jin's face was calm: "The son-in-law understands that the emperor's father is disturbed by the late night, it is because the son-in-law is not filial, the father should go home and rest."

Emperor Jiahe waved his hand, motioning him to retreat first.

Xu Jin walked backwards, then strode into the night.

The carriage of King Su's Mansion was as it was when it came, and went back without haste.

Xu Jin leaned on the car, closed his eyes and thought, recalling the layout of the past two years.

When Fu Rong recognized Liu Ruyi as his aunt, he sent someone to check the details of Liu Ruyi and Gu Niangzi. Liu Ruyi was okay, but Gu Niangzi really gave him a surprise. He made a mistake and found Ji Qingting and Pan. Affair. As long as this matter spreads out, it will become a stain on the fifth person.

However, when the personal affair spreads, Pan will die, and Princess Yongning and others will only lose face, and they can still live well.

So Xu Jin didn't do anything for the time being, he wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity.

He did not expect Liu Ruyi's death, but he soon realized the usefulness of this matter.

Because he had long known that Fu Rong was destined to be his wife.

During this month, the emperor father will make a secret investigation. He will find that Liu Ruyi’s story is true. He will find that Lady Gu was specially arranged to go out on the day when their husband and wife went to Yongtai Temple, but the emperor would not know about Ji Qingting. I wrote a letter to Lady Gu one day in advance, because Ji Qingting is a person of acquaintance, for his family, he must be acquainted, and acquainted with the acquaintance until next month deliberately lead Pan to say something against Fu Rong, the principal of the Yongning public.

Princess Yongning’s Qingguo Palace was doomed to collapse, not only helping Fu Rong clean up his enemies, but also getting rid of one of Cheng Wang’s shoulders.

Xu Jin is very satisfied with his plan, only the same...

He didn't want Fu Rong to know the truth. He did not intend to allow her to reopen Ruyi Zhai, but he really liked her to help her.

He was afraid that she would think too much about it, denying his heart.
