352. Chapter 352 Under the roof of others
When Zhang Yi heard the words of Butler Zang, he was stunned for a moment. Zheng Xiu leaned into his arms again and made an extremely frightened scream, which made him feel even more confused.
When the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Yi didn't know what to do. Butler Zang and Qu Mu heard Zheng Xiu's screams and shouted again: "Oh, no, someone has mocked the Crown Princess."
Zhang Yi quickly argued loudly: "What did you say? I didn't impolite the Crown Princess." But the housekeeper Zang and Qu Mu didn't care about him, and they kept shouting.
The rockery was less than ten feet away from the hall. Everyone in the hall heard the shouts of Butler Zang and Qu Mu, and everyone came out to see what happened. Prince Mi Huai rushed in front.
He ran to the back of the rockery first and asked Qu Mu, "Who dares to criticize the Crown Princess?"
Qu Mu pointed at Zhang Yi and said, "It's Zhang Yi, a native of Wei. When I watched him watch the Crown Princess perform, I stared at the Crown Princess with lewd eyes, with malicious intentions. Unexpectedly, he actually forced the Crown Princess to the rockery and later molested him."
Zhang Yi was so anxious that he was hot all over. He loudly defended: "How dare I criticize the Crown Princess? I came out to find Lord Jingchi. I happened to meet the Crown Princess behind the rockery."
Mi Huai stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Yi's neckline, and cursed: "You still have to argue. The Crown Princess had just rested outside the hall for a while. I asked Qu Mu to go out to find her. I didn't expect that you would come out first and forcefully molest her, right?"
Zhang Yi hurriedly said, "I am wronged. Butler Zang can testify. I was called out by him to see Dr. Jingchi."
Mi Huai was unable to give Zhang Yi a chance to argue because Yin Zhaoyang and all the ministers came out to watch. He shouted: "Where is Mr. Zang?"
At this time, Butler Zang stood up tremblingly from the crowd. Mi Huai asked him, "Zhang Yi said you want him to come out to see Jingchi, is there any such thing?" Butler Zang shook his head vigorously and denied it repeatedly.
Seeing that Butler Zang was trembling with fear, Mi Huai stopped asking him what he said. He then said to the crowd: "Where is Jingchi? Have you asked Zhang Yi to come out to see you?"
Jingchi was in the crowd at this time. He saw Zhang Yi being caught by Prince Mi Huai, and knew that something was wrong. The prince was about to fight Zhang Yi. Jingchi was not clear, and he was also nervous and carefully stepped out of the crowd.
The prince asked him with a serious look on his face, "I'll ask you again, have you ever asked Zhang Yi to see you? In front of Lord Zhaoyang and the ministers, I will never make things difficult for you."
Jing Chi's voice trembled and said, "Report to the prince, I didn't ask Zhang Yi to come out to see me. I just learned that Zhang Yi had imprisoned the Crown Princess. Previously, I went out to the toilet and just returned to the hall."
When the prince heard Jing Chi's reply, he held Zhang Yi's neckline's hand even harder and cursed: "You said Jing Chi asked Butler Zang to ask you to come out to meet. Both of them said that this was not the case, so how could you explain it? It would not be that the two of them met each other on the spot, and you could even be refusal. Is there no king's law in Chu?"
Prince Mi Huai cursed Zhang Yi, but in fact it was just for Ling Yin Zhaoyang to listen. The meaning was clearly: Now that this happened in your mansion, you can do it.
Zhaoyang didn't understand the whole story at all. He thought that Zhang Yi was wrong first, so he actually teased the princess. He was really ambitious and acted extremely recklessly.
Now that the prince has exposed Zhang Yi, the incident happened in the Lingyin Mansion, he cannot ignore it. Moreover, among the ministers in the crowd, many people were dissatisfied with Zhang Yi's court recommendation, so they shouted with encouragement: "We must punish Zhang Yi severely and stand up for the crown prince's concubine."
At this time, Zheng Xiu just cried and said nothing. Prince Mi Huai didn't seem to want to ask her what happened, but just grabbed Zhang Yi and refused to let go.
By this time, Zhang Yi had no intention of drinking. He thought about the past and afterwards and realized that he had been framed by the prince, Qu Mu and others. Zhang Yi was furious. If he were alone, he might have been unable to hold back at this time, breaking free from the prince's control and meeting them with him.
However, Zhang Yi quickly thought of his wife Yao Yue. After a fight, he might be able to leave. Even if he was caught by them, he could not get rid of it and was punished severely. How could a real man suffer such an injustice!
However, Yao Yue is now staying alone in the Chu State's official residence, waiting for herself to go back.
Zhang Yi thought of Yao Yue and was worried that she would be implicated with her, so she gritted her teeth and secretly let go of her tightly clenched fist. At this time, he secretly hated that he was obsessed with the ghost, so why did he easily believe that Prince Mi Huai would forgive him easily? Moreover, he approached Zheng Xiu by chance. He had already discovered that she was not Jing Chi, but he couldn't take a step and left quickly.
Zhang Yi was regretful, but he looked not afraid at all. He said, "How can I make it clear if you want to impose a crime on me? But I just didn't do it. A real man is innocent and has a clear conscience."
When Prince Mi Huai saw that Zhang Yi did not resist, he was even more arrogant and grabbed Zhang Yi's collar and pulled him up to the hall.
At this time, Qu Mu walked to Zhang Yi's seat and turned out Zhang Yi's coat. A piece of green and crystal jade fell out of Zhang Yi's sleeve.
Qu Mu pretended to be ignorant and said loudly: "Hey, isn't this the jade bi the prince carries with him? Why did he run into Zhang Yi's clothes?"
Prince Mi Huai loosened Zhang Yi's collar and took the jade bi handed over by Qu Mu. He looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This jade bi is my own thing."
He pretended to be very strange and said, "How did this jade bi get to Zhang Yi?"
Qu Mu followed the words of Prince Mi Huai and said, "How did you get it? Didn't it be that Zhang Yi took it from you while toasting the prince to get close to him? Isn't this very obvious? He is so poor that he dares to steal the prince's jade bi."
The ministers followed in to watch the fun. When Qu Mu found the prince's jade bi, they were even more talking. Some people said, "Zhang Yi is really poor. Look at his clothes are patched."
Some people say: "If a person has ambition, it is precious, but it is really hateful that he steals other people's things."
Prince Mi Huai looked at Ling Yin Zhaoyang at this time, his eyes full of unhappiness, waiting for Zhaoyang to punish him.
Zhaoyang had long since heard the ministers' comments, and his face was no longer lingering. Although he knew that King Xiong Shang of Chu wanted to appoint Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi's behavior today was really outrageous: he not only stole people, but also stole other people's property.
In a fit of anger, Zhaoyang ordered the officials at home and said, "Come on, tie Zhang Yi up for me." When Zhang Yi heard the words of Butler Zang, he was stunned for a moment. Zheng Xiu leaned in his arms again and made an extremely frightened cry, which made him feel even more inexplicable.
When the incident happened suddenly, Zhang Yi didn't know what to do. Butler Zang and Qu Mu heard Zheng Xiu's screams and shouted again: "Oh, no, someone has mocked the Crown Princess."
Zhang Yi quickly argued loudly: "What did you say? I didn't impolite the Crown Princess." But the housekeeper Zang and Qu Mu didn't care about him, and they kept shouting.
