Chapter 56

Gu Xingyun asks Wei Feng to take he Songfa to the palace.

"Shizi, where's Hao Jinping? Don't you wait for summons." Wei Feng warned.

"No, let's go."

Gu Xingyun still wants to let he Songfa go.

I thought he Songfa would die because he was devoid of human nature. Then he caught Hao Jinping and planned to confront him. Now that he knows it all. Let's expose the crime of stealing

In the Qingxin hall, the emperor was shocked after hearing he Songfa's testimony. His face was gloomy and uncertain, and his heart was shocked. This kind of murder is unheard of.

"Do you have evidence?" The emperor asked he Songfa.

"Villain didn't. But it's really what villain saw with his own eyes. Villain is willing to confront Princess Wei and Tian Yuchen."

The emperor pondered for a moment, but still summoned Wei Yuanyuan, the side imperial concubine of the prince's residence, and Tian Yuchen, a disciple, to enter the palace.

Three quarters of an hour later, outside the hall, Wei Yuanyuan came in elegant and dignified style. Behind him was Tian Yuchen.

"Xuan." Duke Li's unique voice sounded sharply.

They entered the temple and paid homage to the emperor.

"Princess Wei, he Songfa, the former housekeeper of King Hui's house, came to me and accused you and Tian Yuchen of murdering King Hui. Can you plead guilty?"

"The minister and the woman don't recognize it."

"Emperor, the villain did see with his own eyes that Princess Wei was covering Prince Hui's mouth. Tian Yuchen scalded a small snake tail in a bamboo tube with incense. The little snake ran into Prince Hui's anus." He song pointed at Wei Yuanyuan and screamed.

"Housekeeper he, did you really see me at night?" Wei Yuanyuan turned and walked to he Songfa. She covered herself with her right hand and asked.

He Songfa watched Wei Yuanyuan walk step by step, her hand covering her heart. Inadvertently, he drew the long-life lock worn on his chest. He Songfa's complexion changed greatly, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and looked at Wei Yuanyuan in horror.

Wei Yuanyuan approached again, her eyes full of sinister color, and asked fiercely, "I'll ask you again, housekeeper he, do you really see me covering Prince Hui's mouth at night?"

Gu Xingyun thought something was wrong and was about to speak. But he song's trembling voice came from his ear.

"No."

Wei Yuanyuan snorted coldly and bowed to the emperor.

"Bold he Songfa, how dare you bully the king?" The emperor was furious.

"Emperor, how dare he Songfa, a former housekeeper of the royal residence, come here to deceive the king for no reason? It must be the son of the world who promised him benefits and came to trap me."

After asking, Wei Yuanyuan turned and looked at he Songfa, with an expression of humiliation and heartache. His right hand touched his heart again, and then passed the long life lock. The lure asked, "is it or not?"

"Yes." He Songfa has been paralyzed on the ground, with a loveless look.

"Shizi? What do you say?" The emperor looked at Gu Xingyun and asked.

Gu Xingyun was shocked at why he Songfa was talking nonsense, and he didn't know why he was talking back temporarily.

"Emperor, I want to summon Hao Jinping."

"Who?"

"The shopkeeper of unparalleled pawnshop is related to this case."

"Summon Hao Jinping." The emperor agreed.

When Hao Jinping enters the hall, Gu Xingyun tells the whole story in detail and points out that he Songfa has stolen royal household utensils and sold them to unparalleled pawnshops in the past ten years. That night, it was because he was going to steal that he witnessed the truth of Lord Hui's death.

"What the prince said is true." The emperor looked at Hao Jinping and asked.

"True." Hao Jinping replied.

"He Songfa, can you plead guilty?"

He Songfa suddenly changed his loveless touch, knelt down and said, "I don't recognize you."

Gu Xingyun looked at Hao Jinping. Hao Jinping immediately said, "there are still several items stolen by he Songfa in the palace in the grass people's shop."

"Maybe it was given to you by the son of God." Wei Yuanyuan suddenly said sarcastically.

Gu Xingyun sneered and said, "people know the lost things in the palace one after another. They will know as soon as they ask."

Wei Yuanyuan was teased and refused to show weakness. "It's also possible that the son of God grabbed the handle of he Songfa and forced him to frame me."

"You!" Gu Xingyun is angry.

"That's enough. Take Hao Jinping and he Songfa to the prison and hand them over to Hu Yingmao, the Minister of Dali temple, for trial." Under the emperor's order of headache, they were taken down.

"You go down first and wait for the result of Dali temple." The emperor waved his hand.

Wei Yuanyuan and Tian Yuchen said yes and left.

Gu Xingyun still didn't go and called out, "emperor."

"Of course I believe you. But without evidence, it's useless to say anything more realistic." The emperor looked at him and sighed.

"Emperor, I have evidence."

The emperor looked at Gu Xingyun.

"What evidence does the son have?"

"I asked the emperor for a caesarean section to collect evidence for my father."

Gu Xingyun knelt on one knee and arched his fists with both hands. What he did was a military ceremony, not a son ceremony.

This ceremony represents that he is not only the son of Prince Hui's house. He is also the emperor's general. His father is the Lord Hui who once fought with him on the battlefield. And Gu Xingyun is the general with cloud command who is fighting for him now!

The emperor's eyes half narrowed.

The picture of him once with the king of exchange and the broken iron clothes on the battlefield of hundred battles is vivid. Brotherhood, heroic words are still in my ears. He is moving.

However, Gu Xingyun's gift not only reminded the emperor of their days of sincere care, but also challenged the opposition of imperial power.

He was dissatisfied with Gu Xingyun's behavior of challenging his bottom line with his identity.

"Please step back first. Let me think about it."

"Your Majesty." Gu Xingyun still can't afford it.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, the emperor was angry and let him kneel, brush his sleeves and leave the Qingxin hall.

In the Xiahou mansion at dusk, Cong Ting was reporting to the marquis.

"After Gu Shizi entered the palace in the afternoon, he has been kneeling in the Qingxin hall until now."

The Marquis frowned and asked, "did the emperor let you kneel?"

"No, he refused to go, and the emperor was angry."

"Do you know why?"

"It should be the matter of Prince Hui. In the afternoon, it was also reported that Princess Wei and the housekeeper."

"Go and call Su Qianan."

"Yes."

Due to the early summer, the Marquis is now paying more attention to the news in the palace. The most concerned is his highness Qi and Bingwen. He remembered that Cong Ting seemed to have said a few days ago that Bingwen and Gu Shizi had met. So he asked Qian an. Gu Shizi's entering the palace today has something to do with Bingwen.

Su Qian'an happened to have just returned to his house when Cong Ting pulled him to the Chenwu hospital.

When the Marquis met Su Qian'an, he asked straightforwardly, "did Bingwen sell the news to Gu Shizi?"

Su Qian'an looked a little embarrassed. He kept pinching the corners of his clothes, but refused to speak.

The Marquis laughed angrily and pretended to be angry and said, "it doesn't matter if you say. There's something wrong with Gu Shizi in the palace. I ask you to see if you need to help Bingwen."

Su Qian'an's face was twisted, his facial features were distorted, and his heart was tangled. Secretly touched his head and glanced at the marquis. He looked at himself patiently.

Su Qian'an seemed to have made some great determination, nodded heavily, and covered his face with shame.

The Marquis was really happy this time. He smiled and said to him, "young master, I won't blame you. If you don't believe it, ask Bingwen."

Su Qian'an felt a little at ease when he heard the speech. He withdrew and went down.

"Enter the palace." The Marquis ordered Cong ting.

"Yes." Cong Ting should get off and prepare the carriage.

In the Yongning hall, the attendant Xin Ya said to Xiao Zimu, "Lord Xia has just entered the palace."

"For Gu Shizi?" Xiao Zimu asked with an eyebrow.

"I think so."

"You wait there. If Lord Xia comes out, ask if you need help." Xiao Zimu ordered.

"Yes."

After about an hour and a half, Xinya came back to report.

"My subordinates have been waiting outside the Changqiu hall. The Lord Xia came out about more than an hour later. My subordinates wanted to come forward to ask questions. But they saw that it was sent by Duke li himself. They were not generous, so they went forward to ask. They followed the Lord Xia out of the palace, pretended to meet Duke Li by chance and explored with Duke Li. I heard that the Lord Hou seemed to come to help Gu Shizi."

"You are cautious."

Xiao Zimu's words can't distinguish between praise and criticism for a moment.

"Your Highness has gained a reputation of being self-centered and never making personal connections. Your subordinates should be more cautious?" Xinya's tentative inquiry.

"Well, it makes sense. You go down."

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Zimu didn't blame, Xinya felt at ease and left.
