"What happened to this murder case? Who did Chu Sheng kill?" Yu Jiujiu asked, her thin eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Yin Yu said: "It was a maid in Chu Jin's house who had been secretly hooking up with Chu Sheng for more than half a year. Suddenly she said that she was pregnant and wanted Chu Sheng to marry her as his wife. The eldest family member of the Chu family has strict tutoring. Although Chu Sheng is not as good as his eldest brother
Chu Quan, but he is still the legitimate second son, a maid, let alone a wife, it is impossible to be a concubine, let alone having a child before marriage, it is not allowed.
"Chu Sheng was afraid of being punished, so he got into an argument with the maid. Unexpectedly, he accidentally beat the maid to death, killing one and two. This happened to be happened by two sisters, Chu Jin and Chu Liu.
"
Hearing this, Yu Jiujiu gently tapped the table in front of her with her green-white hands, and the flower branches on her sleeves seemed to be blown by the wind with her movements.
She realized something was wrong: "Is there really such a coincidence in the world? Or is it simply a deliberate design by the second room of the Chu family? It took more than half a year to let Chu Sheng have something in their hands, so that they could manipulate Chu Sheng in various ways.
, and then there was a series of things that happened later when Chu Sheng took the initiative to invite his brother and sister to go to the outskirts of Beijing to play together..."
"exactly."
Yin Yu was secretly surprised that Yu Jiujiu could keep up with his thinking, but thinking that she was so smart, this surprise slowly turned into a habit.
Just listen to him continue to say, "Wei Chen found out that it was Concubine Chu who used her position at that time to bribe officials from the Ministry of Punishments and suppress the case. The dead maid signed the contract for the second wife of the Chu family.
It was a death contract, and she had no family, so she died when she died, and no one bothered to investigate, so the matter was just suppressed smoothly."
"Have you found out who this official is? Is he still an official in the court?" Yu Jiujiu asked again.
"He has already retired and returned to his hometown. Wei Chen checked and found out that this official died of illness ten years ago. However, Wei Chen found a subordinate of the official who was in charge of the case at the time. He has recorded a confession and taken him into custody. He admitted that he helped
The official suppressed the case and testified that the official had accepted the benefits from Princess Chu. Moreover, the subordinate secretly made an account book and recorded all the transactions of the officials who had accepted bribes over the years.
"Wei Chen found out that in addition to real gold and silver, what Concubine Chu gave to this official was an antique vase, and this vase happened to be a gift from the late emperor to Concubine Chu, and it was registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
.”
Yin Yu answered in detail, and as he spoke, he handed over the confession, the account book, and the book registered by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Yu Jiujiu read them one by one in detail.
She pursed her pink lips and showed a determined smile: "With these things, it is enough to convict Concubine Chu and Sister Chu Liu, but if you want to kill Concubine Chu, you have to
Find out those minions behind her!"
Yin Yu stayed with her again and analyzed it for a long time.
Afterwards, Yu Jiujiu let him go back.
That night, Yin Yu entered the palace again and handed over a memorial, accusing the Crown Princess Chu Mian and her sister, the Duke of Yong, of several crimes.
Emperor Xuanping was already thinking hard about how to take revenge. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell asleep, someone handed him a pillow, and he immediately felt energetic.
After he had looked at the things that Yin Yu had sent over one by one, and asked all the questions that needed to be asked, he immediately ordered Zhou Dafu: "Go and invite Concubine Chu over! Just tell me that I have something important to do.
Want to see her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhou Dafu also agreed happily.
He knew that this temptress who made the little princess and the queen mother unhappy was finally coming to an end!
Emperor Xuanping was fully prepared to hold a night trial.
After Yu Jiujiu learned about it, he became very energetic.
She had been waiting in the Queen Mother's palace for a long time. When she heard this, she said to Queen Mother Yin: "Grandma, why don't we also go and see the excitement? By the way, help Dad bring those people who should be brought outside the palace.
Send it over too."
When Queen Mother Yin heard this, she stood up directly.
Today, she was wearing a wide-sleeved dress, and she was particularly noble and beautiful, just to see Chu Mian's embarrassed appearance.
"Okay, let's go, Xiao Jiu'er." At this time, Queen Mother Yin said this and took Yu Jiujiu's little hand.
When the grandfather and grandson arrived at the Yangxin Hall, Long Wuwei was already quietly ambushing around outside.
At this time, Chu Mian hadn't arrived yet.
"Queen Mother..." When Emperor Xuanping saw the Queen Mother Yin at first sight, he still didn't react. He hurriedly stood up to greet the Queen Mother, but he didn't know how to face the Queen Mother Yin yet, so he subconsciously called out this.
Queen Mother Yin couldn't help but glance at him when she heard that he called her mother, instead of the unfamiliar Queen Mother as usual.
"I heard that the emperor was going to try a case here today, so I brought Xiao Jiuer over to join in the fun. The emperor wouldn't mind, right?" Her attitude was lukewarm, making it difficult to tell how she felt about Emperor Xuanping now.
.
"Of course, I won't mind. Please sit down, Queen Mother." Emperor Xuanping was in a state of confusion, thinking of all the ways he had disobeyed the Queen Mother Yin for the sake of Concubine Chu, and he hung his head slightly in shame. As an emperor, he felt uncomfortable at this moment.
I can't even stand up straight.
"Daddy, sit down too." On the side, Yu Jiujiu said sweetly after sitting down with Queen Mother Yin.
The soft and waxy voice of the little girl exudes a sweet and caring feeling.
It must be said that this greatly relieved Emperor Xuanping's nervousness.
"Okay, daddy, sit down too." So, Emperor Xuanping returned to his dragon chair and sat down.
At this moment, Chu Mian's voice came from outside.
"Can you please slow down? How do you do things? I haven't stood firm yet, and you are about to carry the sedan away. Do you want to throw me to death?"
Following her scolding, it didn't take long for her to finally step into the gate of the Yangxin Hall accompanied by Aunt Fanghua.
"Your Majesty, why are you looking for me so late..."
Different from the scolding outside just now, Chu Mian's voice immediately softened as soon as he entered the door.
However, before she could finish such a pretentious sentence, she paused suddenly, and her voice rose a little higher, showing some uncontrollable sharpness, "The Queen Mother? Princess Lingfu? Why are you here?"
"What Concubine Chu said is so strange. The imperial grandmother is the queen mother of this palace, this princess is the princess of this palace, and Yangxin Palace is a palace in the palace. Can't we come?" Yu Jiujiu said rudely immediately.
He choked her.
"I, that's not what I meant." Chu Mian felt inexplicably uneasy.
She replied like this and looked at Emperor Xuanping as if asking for help. The tears came again as soon as he said it, "Your Majesty, you see, I just asked out of curiosity. What Princess Lingfu said will make her choke to death."
