The cabinet finally agreed that the Ministry of punishment and Dali temple would jointly hear the important case.
Because the second prince was his Majesty's legitimate son, he joined a joint trial of the third division of the Zongren government, and Gu huaijiang supervised the case as a high-ranking minister.
In order to avoid suspicion, Gu huaijiang handed over the case to Gu Shubai for supervision, which also blocked the public.
Gu Shubai's first task is to see the second prince in person.
"The second prince was put in the prison of zongrenfu. After the Ministry of punishment and Dali Temple joined the joint trial, they tried several times, and all the confessions were here. Why did the elder brother go to see him in person? "
There are a lot of Confessions on the case. Under careful examination, I don't know how many times the second prince has been interrogated. Each confession is half as high as Yufu.
When Gu Shubai checked the confession, she sat on the side and looked at it together, almost reciting the second prince's words.
As a matter of fact, these confessions were repeated. His arrow was pointing at the wild boar. He didn't know why he shot his majesty and killed him with one arrow. Until he was put in prison, he was confused.
These words did not help to examine the case, the second prince may not know as much as they did.
Gu Shubai didn't think so. "The second prince is the party. Although he is not smart, it's not stupid to fight with the big prince for so many years, is it? Do you think that when he was wrongly accused of killing his father and king, he really didn't have any sense of survival for his own situation? "
He picked up a confession and said with a smile: "I'm afraid the second prince knows that the Ministry of punishment, Dali temple, zongrenfu, and those who interrogate him have the eldest prince, so he dare not say something to them."
"Who is the person of the prince among the three divisions?"
Yufu is a daughter. She can't go to the court and doesn't know the courtiers. Besides, as soon as her majesty dies, the situation in the court changes, and most of those who originally stood in the camp have changed.
More than half of the courtiers more or less supported the eldest prince and thought that he was the most likely candidate to become the new king, so they flattered him in advance.
Now who supports the great prince among the three divisions can't even see Gu Shubai clearly.
He shook his head. "People don't carve the five characters of the eldest prince on their heads. Of course we don't know. The second prince is in the middle. He always knows something. So the best way is for us to ask him. The people in the house of marquis Gu have always been neutral. Thanks to his father's full support, the second prince can not believe others, but he will believe us. "
Yu Fu said: "I'll go with my elder brother. Although I didn't like the second prince very much before, I have the name of brother and sister. He seemed to like me and gave me a lot of valuable gifts. I'll go with you. Maybe he'd rather talk. "
Gu Shubai
Yufu always seems to be puzzled whether other people like her as a brother or an ordinary man.
If it had not been for Yan Shuo's heart telling with her on the wedding day, she would not have understood that Yan Shuo liked her.
That's all.
Gu Shubai didn't say anything. When they went to the prison of zongrenfu, the warder of the guard had already received the imperial edict from the cabinet and let them go immediately.
The prison of zongrenfu is different from that of other places, because the prisoners are all the royal families who have made mistakes. Even the cells are clean and simple. The second prince's cell is more like an ordinary family's house.
Only the heavy iron door can show that this is a heavily guarded cell.
There is a pull-out window above the prison door, which is usually used by prison guards to deliver food. Gu Shubai looks inside through the window, and the second prince is half sitting on the bed in a daze.
The position of the window is too high, Yu Fu can't see the inside, so he simply let Yu Fu open the prison door.
The second prince finally had a reaction and looked at the door. When he saw Gu Shubai and Yu Fu, his eyes lit up.
Gu Shubai looked at the jailer behind him, "you step down first, I have something to ask the second prince alone."
"Yes, the prince and the princess have something to say. The little one is waiting at the end of the corridor."
The jailer bowed down, and the second prince came down from his bed, straightened his clothes and hair, trying to make himself look less impolite.
Yu Fu looked at him and found that he was still wearing a plain Prince's suit. The python pattern embroidered on it was powerful and valuable, but it seemed to be covered with a layer of ash in this cell, and it was no longer gorgeous.
The former high spirited Prince is now so thin that his cheeks and cheekbones are protruding.
Yu Fu suddenly thought of Gu Shubai's words. He said that Princess Danyang had a hard time in the prime minister's residence. She was not only pale, but also slapped in the face by Yin Shuo on the golden palace.
Princess Tianjia, how can you bear the ordinary temperament of Princess Danyang? Even the Minister of your majesty can't see it in her heart.
Now when I see the second prince, I know that the brothers and sisters are in the same boat.
As soon as emperor Ning died, they fell from the high clouds to the bottom of the valley. Even ordinary people were inferior.
"Shubai, Yufu, why are you here? I didn't kill my father, I didn't kill my father! Do you believe me? "
"If we don't believe you, why bother to examine the case?"Gu Shubai saw a table and chair on the side and motioned to him, "Your Highness, sit down first and speak slowly. Today we are here to listen to your Highness's grievances."
The second prince calmed down, and suddenly nodded with a smile, "no wonder, no wonder the jailers have been very polite to me these two days. I vaguely heard them say uncle Gu is back. Now in addition to Uncle Gu, who is willing to find out the truth about his father's death? They just hold Ning Yizhao in their hands and think that they can fight for the success of the dragon! "
Gu Shubai and Yu Fu also sat down. Yu Fu saw that the cell was clean and tidy. The bedding on the bed was thin, and there was no charcoal basin. He said, "the general was ordered by the cabinet to supervise the case, and then he handed it over to his elder brother. The third division can't leave it. He will certainly give justice to his majesty and the second emperor. Before going out, the general also asked us to bring some bedding and thick clothes. When I came in, I gave them to the prison guards for inspection, and they will send them to us soon. "
Gu Shubai took a look at her.
Gu huaijiang will not think of these details, it is clear that Yu Fu's good intentions, but also crown in Gu huaijiang's name, hoping that the second prince will remember him.
No wonder his daughter is a kind-hearted little cotton padded jacket. What Yufu has done in the past few days after returning to the imperial capital makes him feel inferior.
The second prince was really moved, "I knew it, I knew it! Uncle Gu is most loyal to his father in the court. No one can stand up and say a fair word except uncle gu! Uncle Gu still wanted to give me bedding, but my sister and brother-in-law didn't come to see me once If you have anything to ask, just ask. I'll tell you everything! "
Poor second prince, if he knew what his own sister was like now, he would not blame Princess Danyang for not coming to see him.
Princess Danyang even wants to go to the palace with Gu Shubai's help, which means she is under house arrest in disguise. Where can she have the chance to visit the prime minister's residence?
As for my brother-in-law Isn't it Yan Shuo who sent him to prison with the Grand Prince?
Gu Shubai didn't tell him these words, but nodded. Yu Fu took paper and pen to record, so as not to miss the key information in the second prince's words.
"Second prince, tell me where the lotus arrow in your quiver comes from."
"What lotus arrow?"
The second prince didn't know, so he said, "the arrows in my quiver are all prepared by the people at the bottom. Is there any difference between the arrows of other people in the paddock?"
Gu Shu's white eyebrow slightly frowned and looked at Yu Fu.
It seems that the eldest prince and Yin Shuo had been prepared. As soon as his majesty died, he put the second prince in custody, leading to the second prince's complete ignorance of the outside world.
Gu Shubai said: "the second prince knows that after your arrow hit your Majesty's heart, your majesty has already died before you get to the big tent at the foot of the mountain. Because the arrow you shot him was a lotus arrow, and the special mechanism inside twisted your Majesty's heart into meat mud. This is the part that falls off after the lotus arrow is shot. Have a look, your highness. "
He gave the metal ring that Kun Yuyang gave him to the second prince. The second prince picked it up and identified it carefully. He seemed familiar. "It's like my arrow. It's not a lotus arrow. It's an arrow that can improve the hit rate. Yin Shuo said that he wanted me to be in the limelight and recommended a swordsman to me. The man in the Jianghu said that using this kind of arrow can improve the hit rate. I tried it and it was true, but he didn't say that the mechanism of this arrow can crush human flesh! "
Gu Shubai keenly grasped his words, "what's the name of this swordsman, where is he now? Why didn't the second prince mention this man in his confession? "
