Chapter 316: The Truth
Zhang Jingyi's slightly sarcastic words made the others confused.
I thought that Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng, must be a little panicked at this time.
However, the performance of Duke Cheng Guo Zhu Chunchen still looked righteous.
This guy's psychological quality is far beyond Zhang Jingyi's imagination.
Such strength is enough to beat a hundred large bowls of wide noodles.
Zhang Jing couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Sure enough, Zhu Chunchen still looked angry and without any panic, but he just gritted his teeth and said, "I can't understand a word about what the Marquis of Xinxian said. What poisoned Your Majesty? When did Your Majesty get poisoned? In this palace, it's not my control. Why did you wrongly accuse me of your majesty?"
This series of questions seemed to force Zhang Jingyi to the corner.
Zhang Jing sighed and said, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin. Since that's the case, then... I'll just teach you to convince me."
As he said that, Zhang Jingyi slowly stood up: "You really don't know about the puffer fish poison?"
"I haven't heard of it." Zhu Chunchen said in a stern manner: "My ancestors were riding on horseback to fight in the palace and poisoning them. This is not the origin of my Zhu family's family's family education, but you guys won the minions, haha..."
He spoke with a look of pride.
It seems that only you deceitful people are good at poisoning.
Emperor Tianqi listened with a dark face. At this time, he seemed to feel more and more that Zhang Jingyi and Zhu Chunchen had any misunderstandings.
Wei Zhongxian was also thinking about it. At this time, he could not express his opinion easily and needed to continue to wait and see.
The mockery on the face of Tian Ergeng and Zhou Zhenggang is even more intense.
This Zhang Jing relied on His Majesty's favor and had no rules, but today he hit Duke Cheng, which was considered a kick to the iron plate.
Look at what you can.
Just wait to see you have bad luck!
At this time, Zhang Jing said, "It seems that you are planning to refuse to accept it. In fact... you are indeed very smart and very cautious in doing things. In fact... If Huang Taiji had not received a little information from him, the court would have thoroughly investigated the merchants who colluded with the Jiannu people. With your meticulousness, who in the world would have suspected that you, Chenggong Duke's Mansion?"
Zhu Chunchen snorted coldly and ignored it.
Zhang Jing said again: "But, the net of heaven is vast and unobstructed, and you are still showing your strength. After the court thoroughly investigates, you are still a little panicked. Although you know in your heart that Huang Taiji doesn't know much about you. Those merchants who collude with Jiannu will never reveal your identity to the Jiannu people. But... As long as the Jinyiwei continues to investigate, you will be exposed sooner or later."
"So, you decided to take advantage of the troubled waters. You can only muddle the water and let the factory guards focus on other places and take out a scapegoat, then... no one will ask about this matter."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "As long as Your Majesty is poisoned and died, there will be a huge change in the world. At that time, who will still have the heart to investigate this case? What's more, in order to close the case as soon as possible, isn't Xuancheng Bo a ready-made scapegoat? Everything falls on his head, and this matter is considered to be the case. At that time... everyone's attention is on His Majesty's death, so you can naturally be leisurely and leisurely."
Zhu Chunchen looked at Zhang Jingyi calmly and smiled: "A good story compiled by the Marquis of Xinxian."
Zhang Jingyi also smiled: "Just think I'm the story."
After saying that, Zhang Jingyi continued to say with emotion: "So, the most important thing in your arrangement is to let someone poison Your Majesty! In recent years, the palace has been relatively relaxed. Moreover, this pufferfish poison is colorless and tasteless. As long as you add a little, it will be fatal and has no cure."
"But, it's not enough to poison alone, you still need a scapegoat. Therefore, you joined forces with the eunuchs from Shangshenjian to find a scapegoat. This scapegoat is Liu Wu."
"Liu Wu?" Zhu Chunchen said calmly: "I have never heard of this person."
Zhou Zhenggang, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but sneer: "What, isn't it that Liu Wu was poisoned?"
"No!" Zhang Jingyi said seriously: "Liu Wu was not poisoned at all. After he had a look here, the first thing I was to doubt. After poisoning, he committed suicide immediately. Moreover, his relationship with Xuan Cheng Bo is so obvious that a fool knows that if he dies, he will have no evidence of death. He will definitely involve Xuan Cheng Bo. So... why does this person still do this? Why does Xuan Cheng Bo do this?"
"Of course, this is just one of them. The second is that since everyone found half a bottle of pufferfish poison in his room, it is even more strange. You said that a person... he wanted to commit suicide. There was obviously poison in his hand, but... he didn't use this poison, but he insisted on hanging himself on the beam of the room. Are you saying... this strange?"
Zhang Jingyi raised two doubts.
Of course... the biggest reason why Zhang Jingyi became suspicious is not these two doubts.
But because it was the one who took the blame for the boss of Xuancheng, Shichun.
As soon as Zhang Jing had an impression of Wei Shichun, a man of two lifetimes, and had a brief understanding of some history, he knew that Xuancheng Bo was killed when the Jiashen Incident.
Such a person...when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, he actually chose to commit suicide, and the whole family committed suicide. Although it was quite a bit stupid and loyal, such a person said that he had been acquainted with Jiannu people and secretly saved up such a large family business. Although... it was not impossible, but... Zhang Jingyi's intuition was still a little unbelievable.
It is precisely because of these intuitions that Zhang Jingyi is determined to investigate thoroughly.
If you want to blame, in fact, you can only blame someone for being smart and having to frame anyone who is not good, and you have to frame Shichun, the Bo Wei of Xuancheng.
Of course, this reason cannot be said, so after careful analysis, Zhang Jing found two small doubts that could be published in the public.
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "The first suspicious point shows that the person behind the scenes is a bit unwise, but the problem has emerged again. This person is so inappropriate that he asked Liu Wu to poison him, and he soon implicated himself. So... He had an affair with Jiannu before, why didn't he notice it for so many years? Is this unreasonable?"
"I can assert this second doubt, someone wants to kill someone to silence the silence, because only when Liu Wu dies can he die without evidence. In the end, Wei Shichun is unaware of it. However, it is not easy to commit suicide alone. Is it easy to give Liu Wu medicine? If he is given medicine, people will inevitably struggle. How could this be like suicide? But if he secretly takes medicine, he cannot ensure that he can get poison immediately. It is impossible to say that for a few hours, the Jinyiwei investigates it and backfires, and everything will be revealed. On the contrary, it is best to hang the beam and commit suicide. First, control the person first and hang it on the beam. If he doesn't die, he will die."
At this time, everyone in the hall became quiet.
Everyone seemed to be chewing on the doubts raised by Zhang Jingyi.
Zhu Chunchen immediately shouted, "Even if it is not Xuancheng Bo, what does it have to do with me? Could it be that Xuancheng Bo must be me who killed the monarch?"
"Don't be anxious." Zhang Jing smiled at him, looking extremely calm, and then continued slowly: "Of course I didn't suspect you from the beginning, but... since I've confirmed that Xuan Chengbo was framed, at least it can be confirmed that there are other people who poisoned him, and they are still in Shangshenjian."
He looked straight at Zhu Chunchen and continued, "So, when Commander Tian and Zhou Qianshi went to capture Wei Shichun, I was worried. When I was about to leave the palace, I called a eunuch named Zhang Shun and asked him to find someone."
"Look for someone?" Emperor Tianqi seemed to have some impression of Zhang Shun.
It seems... quite familiar.
At this time, Emperor Tianqi's curiosity had already aroused, and he couldn't help but say, "Who are you looking for?"
"Go back to Your Majesty." Zhang Jing said: "First of all, I have confirmed that I am from Shangshenjian. Secondly, this person can quickly control Liu Wu and create the illusion of suicide. Then this person must have a bit of power in Shangshenjian. If you want to do this, at least four powerful eunuchs from Kong Wu can do it quietly. And let the four eunuchs be devoted to him and also let poisonous pastries be delivered to His Majesty's imperial case. How many people have this ability in Shangshenjian?"
Emperor Tianqi also began to feel suspicious at this time, and he nodded quickly: "No, good, good, there is some reason."
Zhu Chunchen still looked very calm.
Then Tian Ergeng and Zhou Zhenggang looked at each other, especially Zhou Zhenggang. Of course, he knew that Zhang Jingyi was just a storyteller with red mouths and white teeth, but what if... it wasn't Wei Shichun?
For him, it actually doesn't matter whether he is the Duke of the Kingdom, but if it weren't for Wei Shichun... Zhou Zhenggang couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi said: "Don't you want someone to testify? Very good, someone's test... Last night, someone actually went to search for it. I beg your Majesty to summon Zhang Shun immediately. Zhang Shun and his ministers had already set up a net of heaven and earth in Shangshenjian yesterday. Now... the evidence that Duke Chengguo wanted is in Zhang Shun's hands."
Emperor Tianqi was already very surprised. Looking at Zhang Jingyi's confident expression, he unconsciously believed Zhang Jingyi's analysis more and more.
At this time, he no longer cared whether Duke Cheng was wronged or not, and immediately said, "Call Zhang Shun and summon Zhang Shun immediately. Zhang Qing's family, why didn't you say it earlier yesterday?"
"I dare not say it." Zhang Jingyi replied honestly: "Although I am suspicious, if I rashly doubt it before finding the evidence of the crime, I will inevitably be told by Commander Tian and Zhou Qianshi that I do not understand the rules of the officialdom. After all, I am just a few thousand households, and even the commander and the officer insisted on it. How dare I talk nonsense?"
