Chapter 268 The incident came to light
Who else could that handsome, godlike man in front of her who didn't even look at her be but King Rui? !
Wang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed with both hands and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, Prince Rui, please spare my life, Your Highness, Prince Rui, please spare my life!"
Chen Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her: "Let me ask you, why did you want to murder Miss Yun from the Zhenguo Mansion?"
Wang immediately understood that Chen Zhao was referring to Chen Shi. She clenched her teeth and tried hard to think about how to answer in order to save her life.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Zhao increased his movements a little more vigorously, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on Wang's neck.
Her heart was pounding so hard that she was sweating profusely. "Please spare my life, Your Highness Prince Rui. I really didn't murder Miss Yun."
She couldn't say it. Once she did, everything would be over. Prince Rui would definitely not let her go. Thinking of this, Wang raised her voice and cried out that she was wronged.
Chen Zhao snorted coldly: "You dare to be stubborn even when you are about to die."
Jiang Yu half-smiled, leaning slightly on the chair, one hand fingers gently resting on his temple, and the other hand fingers slowly tapping on the teacup lid, making a crisp sound of "tap, tap, tap".
Every time that voice sounded, Wang's face turned a little paler.
"Chen Zhao."
"Yes."
Chen Zhao immediately took the order and walked to the wall.
Before Wang could figure out what was going on, she saw Chen Zhao coming back with a bunch of torture instruments. One glance at them made her feel horrified.
There was a pile of knives of different models and various blood-stained clavicle hooks.
She was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted instantly.
Jiang Yu took a sip of tea slowly: "Sprinkle it to wake him up."
Another bucket of ice water was poured on Wang. She opened her eyes with a start, and immediately began to beg for mercy.
Chen Zhao was annoyed and directly picked up a knife and stabbed it into Wang's palm: "If you still don't tell me, next time I won't stab you in this place."
Blood gushed out from Wang's violently shaking hands. Wang's face was distorted with pain and she opened her mouth and shouted, "Yes, someone told me to do this!"
She gasped and looked at Jiang Yu with fear.
Jiang Yu took a sip of tea and raised his eyes from the edge of the cup: "Continue."
Wang said in a trembling voice, "That man came to me on his own initiative. He asked me to get rid of Yun Shuning, and said that after the task was completed, he would spare me from prison, send me out of the capital safely, and allow me... allow me to live a prosperous and good life again."
Chen Zhao asked sternly: "Who is that person?"
Wang shook her head like a rattle: "I don't know..."
Seeing that Jiang Yu's murderous aura was getting stronger, Wang immediately screamed, "It's true! I really don't know who the other person is. He has always been masked and his voice is muffled, so it's hard to say whether he is a man or a woman..."
"what!!"
A knife was also inserted into the palm of Wang's other hand, and her screams almost pierced the sky.
A strong smell of blood mixed with a fishy smell, and an ambiguous liquid spread from under Wang's body. Chen Zhao kicked her in disgust.
Wang was tortured to the point of almost losing her life. She kept wailing and begging for mercy, "Your Highness Prince Rui, please spare my life. I really don't know anything."
It seems that there is really nothing to ask.
Jiang Yu stood up and glanced at Wang with indifferent eyes.
"Just deal with it."
Wang looked up in panic, only to see the man striding out of the secret room. Before she could even finish saying "no", she felt a chill on her neck.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and saw her own body kneeling there. Her head rolled several times in the blood, and finally stopped.
Chen Zhao strode to Jiang Yu's side and solemnly presented the jade bracelet in his hand to him: "My Lord, this was just found on Wang's body. It seems to be something from the palace."
Jiang Yu took it and took a look, his eyes darkened: "Noble Concubine An."
Others may not know about this bracelet, but he is the one who knows it best.
Back then, his father awarded his mother a jade bracelet. Although it was not very valuable, it still aroused the jealousy of Concubine An. She later tried every possible means to take the bracelet away from his mother.
Unexpectedly, after many years, this thing fell into Wang's hands.
Chen Zhao was shocked when he heard this: "My Lord, should we report this to the Emperor?"
Jiang Yu threw the bracelet to him and said, "No need. Concubine An is in the deep palace and she has ten thousand excuses to exonerate herself. I'm afraid this little evidence is not enough to shake her."
"However," Jiang Yu smiled without any smile, "It is not polite not to reciprocate. Pack up the remains of the heirs and concubines that Concubine An has harmed over the years, put them in a beautiful box, and send it to her palace."
Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed. Then, as if he remembered something, he took out a stack of letters and an account book from his pocket and presented them to him.
"My Lord, I have collected all the evidence you told me to do. This is Lin Cheng's corruption and his attempt to murder you..."
He did not say anything else, but angrily said: "Your Majesty should submit these letters together with the evidence of corruption to the Emperor and clear your name!"
Jiang Yu only took a quick glance and said, "No hurry. I already know what happened back then, but the evidence is not enough to identify the real mastermind. Reporting it now will only alert the enemy."
Right now, he has more important things to do, so how can he lose the big picture for the small?
The cold winter wind lifted his inky black hair. He raised his head slightly and looked beyond the sky. There was a vast sky of one hundred thousand miles. In a corner of the sky, a low haze was swirling and gradually approaching.
……
Wang disappeared.
Although Lin Cheng didn't care about her, he always felt a little uneasy.
He gently and considerately arranged Lin Cheng's court dress and said, "Maybe my sister has gone back to her parents' home to visit her relatives. She may be back in a few days. Master, don't worry."
Judging from Wang's current reputation, let alone whether she has any relatives, even if she does, I'm afraid they would want to stay as far away from her as possible.
Lin Cheng knew that what He said was impossible, and couldn't help but sigh: "If only Wang was half as sensible as you."
He just smiled and said nothing. She watched Lin Cheng leave the villa. Just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she saw Cui'e running in from the door: "Auntie, something big has happened."
He was stunned for a moment, then she heard Cui'e continue to speak with heavy breathing: "People in the capital are saying that Wang was pulled out of prison."
"Wang Shi will definitely never be able to make a comeback this time. When she is completely finished, this Shangshu Mansion will truly belong to you, Auntie."
When Cui'e thought that He had easily paid off the 1,200 taels of black money she owed including interest just by taking over the Shangshu Mansion, and that if she could really take over the entire Shangshu Mansion, she would live an extremely comfortable life in the future, the joy on her face became more obvious, but He's face looked ugly.
really……
At that time, she felt that there was something fishy about Wang's inexplicable return to the Shangshu Mansion, and now the truth has been revealed.
Wang is still Lin Cheng's nominal wife. If anything happens to her and implicates Lin Cheng, it will be a matter of life and death.
He bit her lower lip, managed to calm herself down, and immediately said, "Go and pack up all the gold and silver items in my room, and then bring Yu'er to me."
At that time, Lin Cheng was already waiting below the Council Hall.
He had been tormented by the He family for too long last night, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and yawn secretly. Suddenly, he heard the angry voice of Emperor Jingsheng.
"Is the Minister of Personnel Lin Cheng here?"
Lin Cheng swallowed his half-yawned yawn immediately, shivered all over, stepped out of the line, and knelt in front of the hall: "I am here."
"Snapped!"
He just felt that his head was hit hard by something, and then several memorials fell in front of his eyes with a "bang".
Lin Cheng swallowed his saliva, quickly picked up the memorial on the ground and read it, then knocked his head on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really didn't know about this."
He cursed Wang in his heart.
This bitch escaped from prison on his own and now walks away with a clean bill of health, but he's left him with such a mess.
Lin Cheng concealed his emotions and continued to cry out for justice, tears in his eyes: "Since Wang was imprisoned, I felt ashamed and drew a clear line between me and Wang. How could I possibly save her?"
He paused, and turned to look at Yun Zhong as if he remembered something, and said viciously: "I think it might be the person rescued by the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion who deliberately framed me in order to take revenge on me!"
Yun Zhong was immediately annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Wang stole my daughter and tried to murder her many times. I wanted to cut her into pieces with my own hands. How could you save her? Pah!"
Seeing that a quarrel was about to break out, Emperor Jingsheng slammed the table.
