However, Yu Jiujiu had already raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "I never said that the person whom Concubine Chu bribed with a vase was Liu Chuan, the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Why did Concubine Chu keep saying that the person in charge of the Sixth Department of her company was
No one knew about it and never interacted with them. Then we found out later that Liu Chuan had died ten years ago?"
Her words exposed Concubine Chu's lies.
Concubine Chu's face turned pale immediately, but soon turned red with embarrassment.
"Are you trying to trick me on purpose?" She then realized that Yu Jiujiu had just talked to her so much and was basically leading her into a trap step by step!
"Who told you not to admit it honestly? This is the only way to catch you for your mistakes." Yu Jiujiu blinked and patted the envelope on the table with her little hand.
"What about this letter?" Concubine Chu couldn't help but ask.
"It's empty. There's only a piece of white paper inside." Yu Jiujiu revealed the truth ruthlessly, "Now that things have happened, I wonder what kind of excuses Mrs. Chu still wants to make? Could it be that she wants to say that Mrs. Chu just happens to know this?
Liu Chuan is the Minister of Justice, so I guess it’s him, right?”
"Yes, you are right!" Upon hearing this reason, Mrs. Chu immediately said as if she was grasping a life-saving straw.
Yu Jiujiu was also amazed by how shameless she was.
Yu Jiujiu shook his head and said: "What a pity, this reason is completely untenable!"
At this point, she looked at Concubine Chu with some teasing, and said, "These evidences, this account book, the registration book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the imperial concubine's seal on this vase are all enough to prove that Concubine Chu paid 20
Four years ago, Liu Chuan, then the Minister of Justice, bribed someone!
"You want to deny it? No way!
"In addition, Yin Shaoqing also found letters exchanged between him and you at Liu Chuan's home. The letter clearly explained how he controlled the Ministry of Punishment and asked the Ministry of Punishment to kill Chu Sheng and the maid next to Chu Jin.
The matter was suppressed!"
Yu Jiujiu’s words were very resounding.
Concubine Chu pursed her lips tightly and gritted her teeth bitterly, waiting for her.
I have to say that I lost this round of confrontation!
But she quickly sneered, and then said firmly: "So what? What kind of bribe is not bribery? I just love my cousin and don't want him to be sentenced to death because of a small mistake. Then
It was only the maid who died. What I did was wrong with the king's law, but from a sentimental point of view, it was what I should do.
"Besides, I did give Liu Chuan a bottle, so what? It's not something sinister!"
Hearing her confident words, Yu Jiujiu raised his hand and shook his raised index finger in front of her.
"Have you forgotten, Concubine Chu? I just said that this is the lightest of the several charges that Yin Shaoqing brought against Concubine Chu. Next, I will talk about the more serious one, that is, you
Why do you want to cover up Chu Sheng's murderous fault? Is it because you are really kind-hearted and love your cousin, or is it because you have another conspiracy? "
It has to be said that Yu Jiujiu's words once again revealed Chu Taifei's scheming back then.
But Concubine Chu still refused to admit it: "I don't understand what Princess Lingfu is talking about! I naturally love my brother, and if there is any other conspiracy, this is all your speculation!"
Concubine Chu even thought at this time that she did have a clue about bribing officials.
But to help Chu Sheng cover up his murder, this time the maid was really dead, and there was absolutely no clue left!
Unless that maid emerges from the underworld and identifies her face to face, otherwise, oh, Yu Jiu Jiu wants to convict her based on this? What a dream!
I have to say that Concubine Chu is still very confident.
It's a pity that Yu Jiujiu came here specially today just to slap her in the face!
"Yin Shaoqing." At this time, she turned her eyes to Yin Yu.
"Yes, little princess." Yin Yu understood immediately and turned around and left the Yangxin Hall.
When he came in again, he was followed by two men and a woman in official uniforms, and behind them, several eunuchs came carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.
Concubine Chu looked at them with some confusion.
Her eyes fell on the stretcher, and when she saw a skeletal palm exposed, she was suddenly frightened.
Is it possible that Yu Jiujiu brought the body of that maid back then?
It turns out that she was right.
"Speaking of which, it's a good thing that the concubine bribed Liu Chuan back then and asked him to backlog the case. According to the case handling procedures of the Ministry of Punishment, if a homicide case is not closed due to the backlog, the body must always be kept in the morgue of the Ministry of Punishment."
With a sweet smile on her face, Yu Jiujiu told Concubine Chu that yes, that's right, this body is that of the maid who died back then!
Just listening to Yu Jiujiu's soft and lovely voice, she said like a devil at this time, "And, when Princess Chu ordered Chu Jin to report the case, two coroners from the Ministry of Punishment immediately conducted an autopsy on the body and found that she was already pregnant with two children.
Yue’s pregnancy is also recorded.”
Yin Yu immediately picked up a book, turned to one page and showed it to Emperor Xuanping.
Emperor Xuanping then clearly saw that the book recorded the surname, identity, and cause of death of the female corpse, as well as the fact that she was pregnant.
"Chu Sheng was timid and had already confessed at the time, saying that he accidentally pushed the maid to death. However, Wu Zuo found a small amount of arsenic in the maid's belly. The real cause of death was poisoning." Yin
Yu added.
"Ah, she is poisoned. Why is she poisoned? A little maid who is pregnant with Chu Sheng's child is planning to fly up a branch and become a phoenix. The most important thing is that she is pregnant with a baby and she is going to be a mother.
How could she be poisoned? In short, it is impossible for her to take the poison herself. No conscientious mother in this world would want to kill her child, unless that person is not the mother of the child at all." Yu Jiu Jiu seemed very worried.
Asked confused.
Concubine Chu gritted her teeth. The guilty feeling gripped her tightly for the first time, making her dare not look into Yu Jiu Jiu's eyes.
After all, she had killed more than one other people's children with arsenic...
"Concubine Chu, what do you think? Tell me, why was the maid in your sister's room poisoned? Could it be that your sister Chu Jin gave her the poison?" Yu Jiujiu saw that Concubine Chu didn't speak.
So he deliberately grabbed her and forced her to speak.
"This, also, maybe, the maid in Chu Jin's room did such a thing, maybe she felt embarrassed..." Mrs. Chu used a guess rather than an absolute, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
She said in an uninformed tone.
"Tsk." When Yu Jiujiu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh sarcastically, "I heard that Chu Jin committed suicide before, and Concubine Chu made a fuss in the cemetery, saying that Prince Ning had ruined Chu Jin's reputation, but now Concubine Chu, in order to protect herself,
She spared no effort to ruin her late sister’s reputation! Princess Chu, the love between sisters is so deep and touching!”
