Chapter 291 Intercession (1st update)
Wu Chen recognized Su Chang and wanted Su Chang to identify who was the real prince, but when Su Chang’s eyes lit up, Wu Chen gave up the idea. He then pulled three old men who looked very similar to one side, looked at them with a smile and said:
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, as long as there is the real Li Yi among you, just kill them all. This is considered a great achievement for me."
The three of them knelt down at the same time, and one of them wailed. Said: "I am really fake."
The other two also swore to the sky that they were fake.
Are all three fake?
Wu Chen was very happy. He pointed to the entourage and said: "Keep these people separately...send them all to the Detective Department. I can't trust other places, especially this Su Chang. I Brother Big Tou misses him very much.”
Su Chang trembled when he heard Big Tou’s name.
"What to do with these three people?" Xing Yun asked.
"They are also imprisoned separately. Officials can go to the prison to identify them, but they cannot be allowed to enter the palace."
Xing Yun nodded in agreement.
Wu Chen added: "This palace needs to be carefully guarded. The idlers and others should be locked up first, and then... all the houses in the palace will be demolished one by one, and all the cabinets, boxes and beds in the house will be removed. "Tear it down."
"Huh?" Xing Yun didn't understand.
"Fish looks for fish, shrimp looks for shrimp. Maybe Prince Cheng also likes the style of female ghost hiding things." Wu Chen said and looked at the three people kneeling on the ground.
Unfortunately, the three of them were facing down, and he couldn't see their expressions.
"Are you coming to the palace with me?" Xing Yun asked in a low voice.
"Who is guarding the Detective Department now?" Wu Chen asked.
"It seems to be the Imperial Guards."
"The movement is a bit loud today. Don't even think about sleeping in the official family tonight. Let's go into the palace!"
… …
Li Heng was indeed awake. He was still angry at Liu Jinzhong's reply just now.
Even if Yu Shian has extenuating circumstances, his crime is unforgivable!
In a serious crime like treason, knowing the truth and not reporting it will lead to death, not to mention what Yu Shian has done to some extent!
When Li Heng thought of Wu Chen's generous expression, he gritted his teeth with hatred.
At this moment, Xing Yun came with Wu Chen.
At this time, the east side was gradually turning white, and the candles in the hall were still burning. Wu Chen was still a little far away from Li Heng who was sitting on the couch, but he caught a glimpse of the white hair on Li Heng's head.
Wu Chen shook his head and said as he walked: "If not one of the three thousand trouble threads falls off, they all have to go through a process of turning from black to white. In fact, there is no need to be so serious."
Li Heng He snorted coldly and said, "That's exactly what you said. Relaxed! "
" Naturally relaxed, because I know that no one can do anything to me, so I can forgive others easily. "
"What do you mean? If I don't let go of Yu Shi'an, I will. Incompetent? ”
"That's about it."
Wu Chen walked up to Li Heng and sat down opposite Li Heng. Liu Jinzhong was arranging for the young eunuch to serve tea. He only glanced at it and almost sat on the ground again. He dared to follow the official Sitting on the same couch, what does this mean?
Wu Chen didn't take it seriously. He pulled off his boots and sat cross-legged, with only a few inches between him and Li Heng.
Li Heng was also a little stunned. Wu Chen waved his hand and said: "There is no one else here. I don't know where Xing Yun is hiding. If this old eunuch sees it, just kill him."
< br>The strength that held Liu Jinzhong up was gone in an instant, and he fell to the ground without hesitation.
Wu Chen laughed and pointed at Liu Jinzhong and said, "Look at how scared he is! It's okay for a servant to be so courageous, but if a military general behaves like this just because of my words, would Your Majesty dare to use it?"
Li Heng covered his mouth and nose and said angrily: "Put on your boots!"
"Oh, bear with me! I'm really tired, Lao Liu, where is the incense? Move over here , I have one night He used all his strength to knock down the four walls of Prince Cheng's Mansion, and blocked the underground secret passage. Now the three "Prince Cheng" are all in the prison cell of the Detective Department. I see that these three people really look alike. But I have never seen the real Prince Cheng, so I have no way of identifying him. They also say that they are all fake..."
"Are you sure you are really among them?" Li Heng leaned forward slightly and asked.
Wu Chen shook his head and said: "I wasn't sure, so I asked them to demolish the entire Prince Cheng's Mansion! There are always some details hidden inside."
Li Heng frowned and looked at Wu Chen.
"There is one thing that I need your Majesty to help me with. After all these years of trouble, why did the female ghost have to let Prince Cheng sit on the throne in the end?" Wu Chen asked in a low voice.
Li Heng was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "How do I know?"
"That is to say, there is no obvious and inevitable connection between the female ghost and Prince Cheng?"< br>
“What do you mean?”
"Where are the Queen Mother and Prince Cheng?"
Seeing that Li Heng was getting impatient, Wu Chen quickly said:
"I'm overthinking it. If the female ghost has anything to do with Prince Cheng, you won't do it either." It would make him live so freely, but these years, it was Chen Zhong who was trying to find out who saved the ghost’s soul back then, so His Majesty didn’t know anything, and it’s impossible to check again now. Yes, I just asked a question that seemed a bit problematic, but then again, Chen Zhong hasn’t found anything in these years, so you don’t have any doubts?”
Li Heng pursed his lips? Said: "Chen Zhong has been with me since he was a teenager. I know that he is very thoughtful. Not many people know about what happened back then. Even he only knows the basics. I ordered him to just investigate this matter, which is fine." He was trying to force someone into trouble, so he didn't become suspicious. "
"Your Majesty, you want to force someone into trouble again? Chen Zhong knows something about it, but I don't know anything about it. How should I investigate this? Let's take care of it. They sealed the ghosts of Yizhuang in the tree trunks. I went there and didn't see any of them. Thanks to my good brain, I thought of a way to kill them. After being released from the tree, I have to ask the second year students to go to Kyoto Prefecture after dawn. There are some cases that need justice and they need to intervene. Then again, if you want to confirm whether Prince Cheng Li Yi has really been arrested, you have to follow me. Let’s talk about those old things that cannot be told to outsiders, but before talking about these things, you must first promise me to let Yu Shian go.”
Li Heng's eyes widened.
"Don't be impatient. Listen to me. Yu Shi'an has made many meritorious deeds along the way. It stands to reason that his life can be saved even if his merits and demerits are equal. I know you can't get over that hurdle. As long as you show disloyalty, other I can't even see it! This matter must be looked at in two parts. What is disloyalty? What is disloyalty? Your requirements are too low. Your Majesty naturally has requirements for ministers in the DPRK. Those who are stupid are called disloyal! They are even better than Yu Shian! It's hateful, please take a closer look! What's more, how can you let the world know that the deputy commander of the Privy Council has been taken advantage of? If there is a problem with such a big official, is it your responsibility?"
"Yu? What benefits has Shian given you? ?"
"Does it count if he loves a soldier like a son? Does it count if he hates evil?"
"What if I have to kill him? Where is life? ”
"Then I can only rob the prison."
"Don't want the great future?" (End of this chapter)
