Chapter 244 Interrogation
As the emperor, he had already stood at the highest position, but when facing Mr. Wang, he could not help but feel guilty for a moment.
Who is Mr. Wang?
The imperial teacher of three dynasties and the head of a century-old family.
Emperor Taizong, the late emperor and even the current emperor were all taught by him, and they also watched the emperor grow up.
The emperor can kill all those who know his ascension to the throne, but he cannot move Mr. Wang. In addition to being the emperor's rank of the three dynasties, he is more of the Wang family behind Mr. Wang.
The most prosperous person in the dynasty was naturally the Pei family, but if we talk about the foundation, the Wang family would be the second, and no one would dare to be the first.
As a large family that had existed in the previous dynasty, the Wang family that has lasted to this day has a total of two or three hundred years of heritage. They are real families. Old Master Wang can take charge of the Wang family for three generations, and even the emperor is afraid of his prestige.
When the emperor saw Mr. Wang, the emperor understood that this matter would never be good.
He tossed the queen several times in his heart, then he barely suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Even teacher, you are alarmed! If this is true, I will never let Gu Zhiyuan go!
"
After hearing this, Mr. Wang chuckled and said in an unknown way: "Your Majesty must do what you say."
The emperor had already made up his mind. In the face of Mr. Wang's questioning, he looked serious and said in a deep voice: "This is naturally. Anyang is the princess. Gu Zhiyuan's doing this is a serious crime to behead him!
I will never spare him!"
"Emperor!" The eldest princess spoke loudly and interrupted the emperor's next words. "If Gu Zhiyuan was convicted like this, it would inevitably lead to our Pei family's reputation of bullying others. Why not let Dali Temple sentence you
Sentence! Both of us came up with evidence and asked Lord Huang to enforce the law impartially and make a conclusion about this matter! If Gu Zhiyuan is guilty, he will deal with it according to the law! If Gu Zhiyuan is not guilty, I would like to ask for the title of deposed and demoted myself to the common people.
people!"
The eldest princess's words were loud and shocked everyone.
Old Master Wang stroked his beard and his admiring eyes were as always. The emperor was stunned for a long time, but he still couldn't believe what he heard.
"Please make a decision!"
"Please make a decision!"
The eldest princess and the old general Pei knelt on the ground together. Both of them were gray-haired and over fifty-year-old. They knelt in front of the emperor and easily made the people around them sympathize.
The emperor was roasted on a torch, and he could not say "no".
The old master Wang's voice was even more determined: "Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small. In order to convince the world, I will submit the case to Dali Temple and let Dali Temple make a judgment."
Whether it was the eyes of the Pei family, the old master Wang, or even the people around him, they put great pressure on the emperor.
Under these three pressures, he has no other choice: "Okay."
The emperor secretly gritted his teeth and helped the eldest princess and the old general Pei up with a gentle expression: "Don't worry, aunt, I will personally supervise this case and let them find out the truth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eldest princess say aloud: "My wife is waiting for the emperor's words! An Lin, take out all the evidence we have searched!"
"Where is Gu Zhiyuan?" Old General Pei shouted fiercely at the same time.
The two of them said that, and the people who had been waiting aside brought their own things and people.
Gu Zhiyuan, who was bruised and swollen, was pulled to the Dali Temple by several burly imperial guards. Behind him, Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin were also covered with scars.
The three of them appeared one after another, instantly focusing their eyes on them.
Gu Zhiyuan wanted to find a hole to drill in. These eyes were either curious, confused, or disgusted, but they all made Gu Zhiyuan's heart tremble.
He knew that after today, all his actions over the years would be made public, and his crimes were clear and there was almost no room for maneuver.
Gu Zhiyuan closed his eyes and did not dare to look around him again.
Qiu Yun and Gu Hengjin were erecting their necks, as if they didn't realize what they were now
In the average situation, they still think they are just innocent people involved.
The three of them were pressed into Dali Temple. The emperor sat on the upper head, and Lord Huang sat on the lower left head, not daring to look up at all, for fear of looking at General Pei on the opposite side.
"Gu Zhiyuan, can you admit your guilt?"
Lord Huang was filled with a heavy haunt, and his voice made Gu Zhiyuan feel excited and opened his eyes.
"I……"
"The eldest princess sued you for deceiving the emperor, concealed the fact that she already had a wife and daughter and asked to marry Princess Anyang, and poisoned and poisoned the princess several times in the past decade! Can you admit these two crimes?"
Every word from Lord Huang fell into Gu Zhiyuan's ears, which made Gu Zhiyuan's body tremble.
His eyes were floating around, his lips were trembling, and he wanted to speak, but he swallowed it back into his abdomen.
"say!"
The emperor spoke in a deep voice, his eyes full of impatientness.
Gu Zhiyuan quickly knelt on the ground, his head kept touching the ground, and the sound of kowtowing was banging, making people's scalp numb.
"I... confess my guilt!"
Gu Zhiyuan's voice was even more swallowed and he whispered: "For the power of the Pei family, I also knew that the Princess Anyang was pleased with me, so I hid my wife and daughter in my hometown elsewhere. After marrying Princess Anyang, I used my younger brother to
As an excuse, my younger brother and sister sent my daughter to the capital to raise her. During the more than 20 years of marriage to Princess Anyang, I repeatedly used poisons obtained from Taixu Temple on Princess Anyang, and how much food, clothing and food,
After all, after soaking these poisons, Princess Anyang's health will become worse and worse."
A series of words made Gu Zhiyuan almost breathless.
But under Gu Ning's captivating sight, he held up this tone and said everything clearly.
Everyone in the house was shocked. Even those people who watched the fun were suppressed by Gu Zhiyuan's method. They were all ordinary people. Even if there were conflicts on weekdays, they were just quarrels. It was a big deal to make trouble in the yamen.
Who would have thought that there was someone like Gu Zhiyuan in this world who was so cruel and ruthless that he was deliberately hurting the person beside him.
"Soak the poison?" Lord Huang secretly took a breath in his heart, "What poison did you use? How did you soak it?"
"The bed where Princess Anyang slept, the teacup used, and the jewelry used were all soaked with poison. In the long run, her body will only get worse every day, but it will not be too severe, attracting the attention of others.
."
"Beast!" Old General Pei could no longer help but the anger in his heart and threw the teacup on the table at Gu Zhiyuan. If it weren't for the eldest princess beside him trying hard to stop him, he would have walked down and talked about Gu Zhiyuan and beat him up.
Gu Zhiyuan's body shook violently and subconsciously moved back.
Seeing his appearance, Old General Pei was cold and stood up and pretended to hold him.
"Why do you have to dirty your hands?" The eldest princess said in a deep voice, making Old General Pei sit back half unwillingly.
He glared at Gu Zhiyuan heavily before sitting down again.
Gu Zhiyuan blew heavily on the ground. Even though his head was in unbearable pain, he did not dare to make any sound.
The emperor frowned and said, "Since Gu Zhiyuan has pleaded guilty, then deal with it according to the law. The crime of deceiving the king can be big or small, and my aunt wants it..."
"Your Majesty, this matter is not that simple." The eldest princess said and blocked the emperor's words. She narrowed her eyes and gently swept Gu Zhiyuan.
"You have also seen the account book of Taixu Temple, and there is no name Gu Zhiyuan on it." The eldest princess said meaningfully, "Who did Gu Zhiyuan get the poison? He was determined to cling to the powerful, why did he also
To get rid of your only attachment? All this needs to be carefully considered by the Emperor."
The emperor secretly held the handrail tightly, but his face was extremely sad: "Auntie is right! Gu Zhiyuan dared to do this, and someone must be instructed behind it. This matter must be investigated carefully!"
"The wife of Dali Temple is relieved." The eldest princess smiled slightly, took out the evidence she had prepared, and sent someone to the emperor. "The Fang family bought the most in the account book of Taixu Temple, but it was just that.
The Fang family did not make any movement.
I don’t know where the poison they bought for tens of thousands of taels of silver was used? Why didn’t the emperor send the imperial guards to the Fang family to search it?"
"In the foolish opinion, if these poisons can be found from the Fang family, then the Fang family will not be the mastermind behind Gu Zhiyuan, but if they cannot be found..." The eldest princess sneered, "You can conclude that the Fang family is the only one.
Instruct the man Gu Zhiyuan!”
The eldest princess can accurately find weaknesses in every step. The emperor knew that they were afraid that they had completely mastered this matter and now they had to propose it in court, just to make it more legitimate.
Now that the decline has emerged, the emperor knows that he can never recover it.
He pretended to be sad and said in pain: "Everything is done according to my aunt's wishes! Anyang is also my sister, and I will never watch her suffer!"
"Mr. Huang, let's leave this matter to Dali Temple." The emperor said in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections?"
"I must do my best to find the envoy behind the scenes!" Lord Huang said hurriedly.
At this moment, Pei Anlin walked out of the crowd. The murderous aura on the imperial guards behind him made the people around him subconsciously retreat several steps, separating their location.
The emperor sat above and could see clearly the situation below.
Pei Anlin stood at the door, and he was holding an object in his hand. The emperor looked at it and his body was trembling with fear.
In front of everyone, Pei Anlin threw the things in his hand into it.
A head with wide eyes suddenly appeared in front of Gu Zhiyuan.
This female corpse was placed in front of everyone.
Gu Zhiyuan was so scared that he jumped back three times: "You...you!"
