The whole city knows we are locked

Yan Chuyin was bitten by a snake, and the matter was not sealed, so Concubine Shu naturally heard the news.

The sixth prince wanted to use bug powder to deal with Yan Chuyin, but was replaced by Feng Chai with snake powder.When Feng Chai died, it was clear and obvious that he committed suicide, and he left behind a suicide note that was indeed written by himself.The suicide note said that the reason why he replaced the powder was because he had a grudge against Duke Pingguo, and that Xinlehou was to pay for his father's mistakes.

In Concubine Shu's opinion, isn't the truth already clear?

She didn't know about the rats in the gutter.The only people in the harem who know this are the Eastern Empress Dowager, Queen and Concubine.Under such circumstances, Concubine Shu would never complicate the whole matter.Since Feng Chai committed suicide and was not silenced, the words in the suicide note are [-]/[-] out of [-] true, and he just wanted to take revenge on Duke Ping!

So Concubine Shu was not worried at first.Although the incident was caused by the sixth prince, things like bedbug powder will not kill people.The reason why Yan Chuyin was bitten by a snake was because there was something wrong in the Pingguo government!Even if the emperor wants to get angry, the six princes can at most take three points of the responsibility, and the Pingguo government will take seven points!Her son will be fine.

Concubine Shu had always thought this way until an old nanny beside her suddenly remembered something.

This old nanny was brought into the palace by Concubine Shu from her natal family, and she has been serving her by her side for many years.When concubine Shu went to her natal family to give gifts during the festivals, it was the old lady who went there.The old lady thought Feng Chai's name was very familiar.After pondering for a long time, I finally remembered that the young cousin of Concubine Shu's natal family took a concubine named Feng two years ago.This concubine is good at everything, with a gentle and pleasant appearance, a gentle and lovely temperament, and she also respects the mistress of the main room very much, and has never been a monster.Just one thing, this concubine's life is not very good.It is said that the concubine's family suffered disasters in her early years, and only she and her uncle survived.Her uncle was a eunuch who simply sold himself and became the eunuch of the summer resort, barely bringing her up by relying on monthly rules.She didn't want to be a concubine, but when she was offering incense, she was careless, so Master Biao saw her disheveled appearance, and by chance, she entered Young Master Biao's backyard.

The old mother didn't care about a concubine of Concubine Shu's natal family.But when I heard that this concubine's uncle was a eunuch, I remembered it in my heart.At that time, she also thought about whether she could think of a way to transfer the concubine's uncle from the summer resort to the palace.Later, I learned that my concubine's uncle was dull, unflattering, and unmotivated, so I left this matter behind.

The concubine's uncle is none other than Feng Chai.

The old lady stomped her feet anxiously: "Feng Chai is from the outskirts of Beijing. His family has been farming for generations, and his family was ruined because of his family's illnesses one after another... He and Duke Ping... are inseparable!" This old nanny is also loyal.Because she knew Feng Chai's background, she felt that the content of Feng Chai's suicide note was very strange.

Since it is impossible for Feng Chai to have a grudge against Ping Guogong, why did he commit suicide?

Why leave such a suicide note?

Concubine Shu's head exploded in an instant.

Is there a possibility that someone took advantage of Feng Chai's only remaining family member—that is, the Feng family who was a concubine next to Concubine Shu's nephew—and told him to die willingly?So, the matter of recruiting snake fans was indeed done by the sixth prince?The sixth prince later realized that the matter had become serious and he didn't dare to bear it, so he asked Feng Chai to take the blame?

The more Concubine Shu thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high!

If Feng Chai had been killed by someone, Concubine Shu might have wondered if there was a third party disrupting the situation.After all, she was well aware of her son's abilities, and she couldn't kill a palace servant quietly.But Feng Chai committed suicide!Feng Chai couldn't have committed suicide willingly because he hated her son and wanted to plot against her son?Feng Chai still has relatives detained in her natal family, even if she doesn't take care of herself, she still has to take care of her only family member!

Besides, what is her son's plan?

The position of the crown prince is secure, the second prince has grown up, and the fourth prince is the first prince... Even if someone secretly wants to seize the first son, it will not start with her son!It's even more unnecessary to plot against her son because she is Concubine Shu.We all know that there are empresses and imperial concubines at the forefront, and it is impossible for her, Concubine Shu, to go any further.At the same time, because the Empress Dowager Xi valued her, and because she gave birth to a pair of twins, it was impossible for her, Concubine Shu, to be demoted.There are a total of women in the harem who can be counted with two hands, who is so full that they suddenly come to plot against her?

Since no one was plotting against her son, Feng Chai could only die because of her son's cue.

After realizing this, Concubine Shu immediately became anxious.

She thinks her son is so stupid.You know it's too much to use snake trick powder, so don't use it!Don't use it and nothing will happen!And since it has been used and things have already happened, then quickly admit your mistake!No matter how much the emperor prefers Xin Lehou, if you obediently admit your mistake, although you will be punished, it won't make you die, right?And you?He wanted to show off his cleverness, and Feng Chai took the blame!As the emperor, can't you find out that Feng Chai's niece is your cousin's concubine?

Concubine Shu couldn't sit still, she ran to her son immediately, wanting to take her son to the emperor to confess his mistake and make amends to Princess Jingfu, Duke Ping and Marquis Xinle.The sooner the better, never too late!

But no matter how good Concubine Shu thought, her son was unwilling to cooperate.

For the sixth prince, it is impossible to cooperate, because he really didn't get the snake fan!Even if Concubine Shu threatened him that Princess Jingfu would not let him go, he was indeed terrified, but he really wasn't the one who recruited snake fans!He broke down and said, "Feng Chai left a suicide note saying he had a grudge against Ping Guogong? The suicide note said that he changed the powder secretly? Then he must have changed it! It wasn't something I did, why should I admit it!"

Concubine Shu asked: "Who else do you want to deceive with your little cleverness? If Feng Chai really held a grudge against Duke Ping, he would have replaced the medicine powder and caught more than a dozen snakes. Why didn't he catch poisonous snakes? Why didn't he catch poisonous snakes? Some non-toxic ones?"

Revenge Ping Guogong will not use non-poisonous snakes.Non-venomous snakes are only used for pranks.

The sixth prince broke down even more: "How do I know what he thinks!" Maybe that Feng Chai is mentally ill!Who knows what these patients think!The sixth prince only knows that he really didn't do this thing himself!

Suddenly, the sixth prince seemed to grab a life-saving straw: "Quick! Go and call my cousin! I never knew that my cousin had a concubine surnamed Feng by his side, and I never conspired with him! Cousin You can testify!"

Here, the emperor's people also found out the existence of Feng Shi.

Concubine Shu's maiden name is Gu.Her natal nephew is called Gu Xiujie.The action on the emperor's side was already very fast, but the concubine surnamed Feng had already swallowed gold and committed suicide!Died quietly in her own room, before anyone else could be alarmed.According to the maid beside her, she claimed to be unwell and wanted to take a rest, so she didn't leave anyone to serve her.No one knows when she died.The emperor's people had no choice but to arrest Gu Xiujie first.

Like the sixth prince, Gu Xiujie naturally did not recognize him.Conspiring with the sixth prince to tease Xin Lehou?He never did!Use Feng Shi to pinch Feng Chai and tell him to commit suicide?He never did!Threatening Feng to commit suicide?He never did!However, as the sixth prince's cousin, he has a good relationship with the sixth prince, and they do communicate frequently.

"In my opinion, the matter of recruiting snake fans has nothing to do with Xiaoliu in all likelihood." Princess Jingfu flipped through a stack of papers and said that some things need to be said from her mouth first, and she did not pretend to say this He is magnanimous, just because he knows the existence of rats in the gutter, "The people around Xiao Liu don't need to be interrogated again. If the trial continues, the punishment will be too much, I'm afraid they will talk nonsense. Even if it is found out that the snake powder is Xiao Liu's instigation If you make it up, you can’t take it seriously.”

Case handling methods are limited these days. "Confession" is very important.

But "confessions" are not reliable.There are many things to torture people in the torture chamber. Unless they are very determined people (but such people are a minority after all), once various punishments are imposed, they can have any confession they want.

Now the only ones who can prove that the Sixth Prince has nothing to do with Zhao Snake fans are those who serve by his side.In addition, his cousin Gu Xiujie and the people around his cousin can also indirectly prove it.But these people have direct interests with the sixth prince.If they don't admit it, it can be said that the snake fan has nothing to do with the sixth prince, or they want to keep the sixth prince; if they admit it, it can be said that the snake fan has something to do with the sixth prince, or they can't stand the punishment and talk nonsense .Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts, if Jing Fu judged the sixth prince guilty in his heart, then the sixth prince would be guilty no matter what.With her temper, maybe she would get a few snakes and throw them on the sixth prince.

There are only the eldest princess and his wife and the emperor in the study.After hearing Jing Fu's words, the emperor knew that his sister hadn't alienated him because of this matter, so he sighed and said, "You said, why did the mice set up this trap?" If the sixth prince is found to be guilty, then the traces of paper burnt can be said to be a letter from the sixth prince to Feng Chai ordering him to commit suicide, and Feng Chai burned it immediately after reading it.But if the sixth prince really conspired with his cousin, there would be traces of their correspondence!That's definitely not the case.

"They seem to have intentionally arranged a confusing situation. If we determine that the Sixth Prince made the snake powder, there is a lot of evidence to prove this; if we determine that the snake powder is not made by the Sixth Prince, other The evidence can also prove this point.” Ping Guogong analyzed it seriously, “Because the three most critical people in the case (Feng Chai, Feng Qie, and the eunuch who died in the wild and provided the sixth prince with the idea of ​​bedbug powder) all They are already dead, but two of them committed suicide clearly, and there is no trace of homicide at all, so as long as no new and strong evidence is found, this matter can only remain so confused. The truth is still unclear."

Whether the truth is unclear or not depends on which side people's hearts are leaning toward.Considering that Yan Chuyin was already injured, and it was true that the sixth prince started the matter again, the emperor would definitely favor Yan Chuyin in the final judgment.

Then, the sixth prince will definitely be wronged.The father is leaning towards Yan Chuyin, did he think that I got the snake fan?But I obviously didn't do it!Father doesn't believe me at all!In the eyes of the emperor, what is my son?

"They want the sixth prince to feel wronged? Do they think the emperor cares about Yin Nu more than him?" Ping Guogong felt that this was outrageous, "But what's the use? They want to take advantage of the sixth prince's grievance enter?"

"These mice must have a backhand! This should be the first step in their plan. Maybe their complete plan will last ten or twenty years..." Princess Jingfu shook her head, "We can't wait that long Bar?"

The emperor didn't quite understand this game, but he was the most patient: "Xiao Liu still needs to be punished. It's not to punish him for attracting snake fans, but to punish him for not being secretive! Punish him regardless of priority! Punish him for being reckless!"

Jing Fu thought for a while and asked, "Then how about I pretend that I don't know anything, go to Concubine Shu to play a show, and get angry at her?" If she didn't know the existence of the rat in the gutter, she would be aware of it right now. Wherever he went wrong, he would be extremely dissatisfied with the sixth prince.It's not easy for an aunt to cause trouble for the sixth prince, so why not find concubine Shu to vent her anger at the head office?

The three of them discussed all the important matters, and the emperor asked how Yan Chuyin was doing now.

For the past two days, Jing Fu has treated Yan Chuyin like an eyeball and forbade him to go out.Yan Chuyin obediently stayed at home reading and practicing martial arts.Except for his younger sister Yan Chuxiang, Master Wu and Shen Yu, he hadn't seen many outsiders.

Jing Fu smiled and said, "With Shen Yu by my side, Yin Nu is in great spirits!" Everyone thought that Yan Chuyin had been so frightened and needed to take good care of her for a few days.As a result, the next day, he went to practice martial arts diligently like a normal person.

The emperor is relieved.

Hey, Prime Minister Shen is a good one.The grandson raised by Prime Minister Shen is also good.

As long as the ruler is bright and his ministers are virtuous, no ghosts or sprites can become a climate!
