Different from the prestigious Tingwei Mansion, the North Military Prison is not an ordinary high gate mansion from the outside. The most distinctive ones are the two three-meter-high zodiac statues at the entrance. The whole body is made of dark and rough bluestone, but the mouth and claws are cast with thick bronze claws.
He must have something special.
In various crime levels, regardless of vertical and horizontal comparison, treason belongs to the well-deserved Nanbo Bay. Of course, according to the specific degree of execution, treason can also be divided into—intended treason, unlawful connection (literal), and rebellion (martial). As the highest level of the highest crimes, Shao Shang went all the way to the deepest part of the prison before seeing Peng Zhen who was completely abused by Nanny Cui.
Old Peng wanted to deeply regret that he didn't want to rebel at first, maybe he was caught in the witchcraft of an adulterer, but unfortunately the two young bosses who came to trial today have nothing to complain about him Not interested, I directly asked about Wang Chun.
Peng Zhen gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Chun, this coward, has written so many letters to encourage me, and he is talking about it, but in the end he wants this and that. He deceived me a lot of money and food. , but I didn't see any movement. I spent eight lifetimes of blood and mildew before I doubted him! Shouchun is rich, the most important thing in my place is money. Since the fourth letter surnamed Wang, I have sent several letters to the Qian'an palace one after another. Approval of money and food! X's, all fed to the dog!"
"Apart from Wang Chun's letter, have you been in contact with the people in the Qian'an Palace?" the third prince asked.
Peng Zhendao: "Every time I send someone to secretly send money and food over there, the people over there will take it and leave without even a word of thanks, bastard! It's just that I can't make a big deal about this, I I had no choice but to endure it, and persuaded my family that they were acting cautiously, who would have known... Hmph, a group of Pixiu, they just eat but don't pull it!"
"In other words, what Wang Chun asked you to do in the letter was to send money and food to the Qian'an Palace?" Ling did not doubt.
Peng Zhendao: "That's right. I gave it a few times at first, and then the person who came to see the Gan'an palace to collect things was rude and refused to give it again. Until...cough, until I became obsessed. In chaos, I thought that it would be better to get a helper, so I also sent the two thousand catties of fine copper sent by Ma Rong. The **** didn't even bother!"
Shao Shang looked at the pitch-black roof full of cobwebs, and muttered, "Why does it sound like you're cheating money, is the Gan'an Palace very short of flowers?"
The third prince reprimanded: "The three armies have not yet moved, and the food and grass will go first. The most expensive is to spend money on the army and war. Is it not a conspiracy to gather this lot of money and food in the Qian'an Palace! Wouldn't it be easier to avoid the heavy!"
Shao Shang said curiously: "Why is your Highness so angry, these concubines all know. What the concubines mean is that the Qian'an palace is short of money to spend, and then go to cheat money."
The third prince froze, shook his wide long sleeves, and turned his head away.
Small businessmen touch their heads. She found the similarity between the third prince and the old uncle, and their anger was very strange.
Ling Budo stared in thought, a pair of beautiful long eyes dark and uncertain. Then he continued to ask: "After you were escorted to the capital, did you contact Wang Chun?"
Peng Zhen trembled with anger: "It is about the life and death of dozens of people in my family, so I contacted him naturally. But Wang Chun, this bastard, refused to intercede for me, and called people Come to tease me, saying that as long as I don't leak his story, he will save my family's life! Seeing his ghost, if I have been deceived by him, how can I still believe his nonsense!"
Ling Budoubt said: "So you have to take the lead and sue Wang Chunyi to His Majesty."
Peng Zhen sneered: "If I hadn't become obsessed with phlegm and wanted to rebel, how could I be deceived by an old dog like Wang Chun! Is it a good thing for you to be surnamed Wang? I keep secrets blindly, and my family is at risk of being murdered. Instead, I shake everything clean, and there is still a chance for my wife and children!"
Ling Budo nodded slightly.
The third prince stood with his hands behind his back and smiled contemptuously: "Master Peng is a smart person who can think of this."
Shao Shangxiao's eyebrows and eyes curled: "It's just a little clever, if you're really smart, you won't rebel! It's an eye-opener for a concubine to even raise an army with the disparity of hitting a stone with an egg!"
The third prince's chest heaved slightly, and he turned his head and ignored him.
After Ling did not question Peng Zhen, the three went to another cell with slightly better conditions. Peng Zhen's major crime of activating the army and causing chaos, the death penalty is inevitable, and Wang Chun's crime is still a grind - the fat uncle is very clear.
As soon as Wang Chun saw Ling Budo, he wanted to pounce on him and cry, but unfortunately he was heavily shackled, and one part of the shackles broke into the stone wall, so all he could do was cry. Crying and calling for grievances, he repeatedly said that he never colluded with the Gan'an Palace, nor did he write those anti-letters to Peng Zhen.
Although the letter was not written by Wang Chun, the sender of the letter belonged to the Wang family, and the seals and secret words on the letter were commonly used by Wang Chun, so Ling Budoubt asked Wang Chun what was the solution.
Who knew that when he reached the key point, Wang Chun hesitated and said nothing. Ling Budo asked patiently and repeatedly, but Wang Chun was always in tears.
The third prince said in a cold voice: "The person who wants to die can't be saved. He doesn't want to say it, so why should I worry about him. At that time, we will be killed on the basis of crime, and the family will be annihilated!" , to wave away.
Wang Chun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Seeing such a tall and strong man begging, Shaoshang felt a little unbearable in his heart, but the messenger of the Wang family, the seal of Wang Chun, and the accustomed secrets, these cannot be denied...
Shao Shang pinched his fingers in his sleeves and calculated carefully, and there was a faint guess. She raised her eyes slightly and touched Ling Budo's line of sight - she couldn't help laughing, knowing in her heart that Ling Budo had the same guess. Looking at the third prince again, I saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth, standing leisurely, not in a hurry.
She thought to herself that the third prince had almost guessed the inside story, but he didn't care. Whether it is the Wang Family or the Gan'an Palace, it has nothing to do with him, maybe it is troublesome in his opinion, it is better to clean it up together.
Even Ling Wuxuan wanted to leave after several unsuccessful inquiries. I just heard him say loudly: "Since General Wang is unwilling to reveal his inner story, I can't help you. Third Highness, let's just leave it alone..."
"Can you..." Shaoshang suddenly said, "Let the concubine speak to General Wang."
The third prince immediately raised his brows into two knives and forks, Ling Budo hurriedly grabbed the front and said, "You are the person beside the empress, just ask whatever you want." Air-conditioned, he carried the whole person on his back in displeasure.
Shao Shang took a step forward and said sincerely: "General Wang, let me tell you the truth, the matter is involved so far, if you want to retreat completely, it is not worth discussing official rank and power. If you can save your life and reunite with your family, you will be in good fortune. If you think you will die, Your Majesty will say, 'Oh, it seems that it wasn't Wang Chun who did it, so let him come back and become a general of chariots and cavalry, and continue to be in charge of the army and enjoy power. All right'. General, do you think this is possible?"
Wang Chun's greed for wealth is not a day or two. Over the years, he was used to being rescued by Ling Budo, so he was lucky, thinking that Ling Budo would continue to shoot. When he saw Ling Budo turn his head to leave just now, his heart was half cold.
"If you refuse to tell the truth, then the crime of collusion and rebellion will not escape. Who will take care of the Wang family?" Shaoshang squatted down and persuaded him, "Liangzi He once told me that Lord Wen Xiu only cares about her parents’ family and never cares about their brothers and sisters. Poor General Wang’s children, the youngest is less than three years old, who should they rely on then?” Of course Wang Ji didn’t say that. , is what Zhai Yu said.
The third prince turned his head slowly and looked at Ling Budo with 12 points of disapproval - you told the woman in the house everything, and let her intervene, this is really unbelievable All right!
Shao Shang continued to play his acting skills, and sighed with pity: "Actually, the official rank and power are only fleeting, the important thing is life and flesh and blood, General Wang think about it carefully..." and Wang Chun It is useless for people to understand and reason, they can only lure them to benefit.
Wang Chun's mind began to liven up.
Yes, although he can no longer be an official, he still has money, and he still has land and popularity when he returns to his hometown! With the Queen here, after the punishment, the Emperor will not strip away his family wealth. It's better than having the whole family fall into the hands of his wife after he dies. According to his wife's style, maybe he died on the front foot, and then the Wang family was subsidized to the Gan'an palace on the back foot.
So he said it all. The confession is detailed, proactive, and very enthusiastic to help provide inquiry directions.
After that, it took only half a day to take people who should be taken, and tortured to torture, and all the human and material evidences were available.
After the case is clear, the queen can take action.
She took Wang Jie and several young children from the Wang family out of the house and put them in her own garden to look after them. I burst into tears, "...how could it be my grandmother, did I make a mistake again!"
Shao Shang opened her fingers and said slowly: "Or you can make another oath, just as it was two days ago."
Wang Li sat down in a daze, without speaking.
"That's right. Even you, a daughter, dare not make a conclusion. Wen Xiu-jun stole her husband's seal and instructed his servants to liaise with Peng Zhen in the name of General Wang. Build a bridge and pave the way for her brother and gather money and grain. Then, what does she want to do, let the young prince of Gan'an raise an army to rebel? Return to the glory of the past?" In other words, in this day and age, young merchants have not seen someone like Wen Xiujun for a long time. A pure natural one-strand helper demon.
Shao Shang looked at her sympathetically. For Fudi Demon, only her parents' brothers are flesh and blood, light, electricity, and the only myth. Those who marry and give birth to themselves are outsiders.
Wang Li shed tears silently, and focused her eyes on Shaoshang: "Your Majesty plans...what to do with my grandmother..."
Disposition? What else can be done? Wen Xiujun and the emperor belonged to the same clan, and they were born as princesses. It was impossible to cut off the Meridian Gate. It was probably either Bai Ling or poisonous wine.
For some reason, Shao Shang suddenly felt a dry throat and a haze in his heart.
She felt very uncomfortable, but couldn't tell why.
