Chapter 282 Kong Dezhao's Intervention Is Ineffective
The emperor's brows did not relax after hearing this.
He looked at Kongtu: "Kongtu, what do you have to say? What are you doing in the alley?"
Kong Tu knelt on the ground with his head down: "Your Majesty, in order to protect the safety of the prince, I patrol the surroundings every night. At that time, I was patrolling."
"Inspection, will the Sky Needle hit you?" The emperor sneered, "What black shadow fell from the sky and stabbed you? Only Qingyin has the Sky Needle, where did the black shadow come from?"
Kong Rabbit was speechless and couldn't explain it clearly.
Kong Dezhao also knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am willing to vouch for Kong Tu. He is definitely not a thief. Kong Tu rarely approaches women..."
"Your Majesty," Fu Qingyin said, "I think the bandit leader killed those women not for their beauty."
Lu Xingyao pondered and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty, I also saw the scene at that time. It was very horrifying. The water in the pool was like blood, and those women were soaked in the water. I have never seen such a scene before."
Fu Qingyin said slowly: "It is recorded in the Demon Soul Record that there is an evil spell that can take away people's souls, or it can extend the life of some people."
Kong Dezhao immediately became angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My grandmother is dead, why are you extending her life?"
Fu Qingyin smiled and said, "The old lady is dead, but your respected Prince Nanshun is still alive. Perhaps he is afraid of his mother's death and wants to live forever. Who knows?"
Kong Dezhao's eyes were blazing with fire: "Nonsense! Fu Qingyin, don't try to throw dirty water on my Nanshun Palace."
Fu Qingyin ignored him and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is another person who knows what the water in the pool is used for and what the women are used for."
"Who?"
"Cheng Zishan, it was she who seduced the princess and took her to that house."
"Where is she?"
"When we arrived just now, the Red Dragon Guards had already taken control of the house. She was in the house and should have been captured."
"pass."
Fu Qingyin turned and left the study, ordering his men to take Cheng Zishan away.
In the study, the emperor looked at Yu Shengsheng again, and then at Lu Xingyao.
"Xingyao, why are you going there too?"
This was the problem Lu Xingyao was most worried about, and it finally happened.
He paused for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I was doing some accounting at the Ministry of Revenue tonight and came home a little late. I happened to see Cheng Zishan's carriage on the street, so I stopped her out of curiosity. She said she wanted to pray for Madam Su and light incense to go around the mansion a few times."
"However," he paused, "I heard some subtle noises, and someone knocking on the wall of the carriage. Although it was faint, I could hear it, so I became suspicious and followed in secret."
"As a result, I saw the princess being carried into the house." Lu Xingyao's eyes were clear and open. "The Imperial Concubine once praised the princess, saying that she was a master painter. She painted a portrait for the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine liked it very much."
"For this love, I cannot stand by and watch him die."
The emperor nodded, but Yu Shengsheng was surprised - Lu Xingyao didn't tell the truth.
She didn't make any sound, nor did she hit the car wall. In fact, she didn't understand why Lu Xingyao appeared.
She was even more puzzled as to why he lied at this time.
However, she did not expose it, and bowed to Lu Xingyao and said, "I haven't thanked you yet, sir."
Lu Xingyao nodded slightly and said nothing more.
In the emperor's eyes, the two were not familiar with each other at all.
The emperor smiled and said, "I have also seen the portrait of the imperial concubine. It is indeed quite good."
"Your Majesty is too kind to me. It is a great honor for me to paint the portrait of the Imperial Concubine."
As they were talking, Fu Qingyin returned to the house and glanced at her and Lu Xingyao.
Just as he was about to reply, he heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Reporting to the Emperor, Commander, Cheng Zishan... is dumbfounded."
Fu Qingyin frowned: "What?"
The emperor also asked: "What does stupid mean?"
"She was originally captured and is in custody. After a careful inspection, we found that she has no fangs and is not hiding any poison. She was also tied up tightly, but for some reason..." The Red Dragon Guard was filled with shame, "She suddenly smiled foolishly, and then... she became like an idiot."
This sounded like a fabrication, but the Red Dragon Guard was sweating profusely and looked guilty, so it couldn't be fake.
Prince Ming hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, this matter... is quite strange. Why don't we first clarify what happened in that house and save those women? Maybe there will be a chance for a turnaround."
The emperor nodded slowly: "Okay."
Kong Dezhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Shengsheng was shocked to hear that Cheng Zishan was dumbfounded. Before she could come back to her senses, she heard Fu Qingyin say, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you alone."
The emperor nodded and waved his hand, saying, "Seventh brother, if you want to stay, I will order someone to arrange it immediately..."
The King of Ming said quickly, "Don't worry, my Royal Brother. I will go back to the palace first and come back when you are free."
After a pause, he continued, "If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know."
"I'll take my leave."
The others also took their leave one after another and went outside the Shangshufang.
Yu Shengsheng followed him out the door, and Ming Wang left first. Kong Dezhao looked at her and asked, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you, my Lord." Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips slightly and lowered her voice, "Thank you, my Lord, for saving me."
Kong Dezhao was stunned and realized that she was not referring to tonight.
After a moment of silence, Kong Dezhao said, "Kong Tu is not the thief's leader."
Yu Shengsheng raised his eyes to meet his, his gaze clear: "Excuse me, my lord, why is Kong Tu in the alley?"
Kong Dezhao's throat rolled slightly, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Yu Shengsheng sighed softly.
"Fortunately, the emperor has agreed to check the house first. Maybe we can find other clues, which may help Kong Tu get rid of his dislike..."
Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Wei came out and flicked his whisk.
"The emperor has ordered that Kong Tu is a serious suspect and is now being sent to Zhenqiao Tower for interrogation. I decree this."
Kong Dezhao's face changed slightly: "Why did the emperor suddenly change his mind? I'll go ask!"
After he said that, he went in for the socializing.
Eunuch Wei stopped him and said, "Sir, please calm down. The emperor said that the interrogation and the house investigation will be carried out at the same time. The truth will come out. If there is any injustice, it can be cleared. It is also for the sake of the prince."
Kong Dezhao wanted to say something, but Kong Tu stepped forward and said, "Sir, I am willing to go, it's no problem."
Kong Dezhao clenched his back teeth.
Just at this moment, Fu Qingyin came out with a calm expression.
Kong Dezhao was even more furious: "Did you do this?"
Fu Qingyin raised his eyebrows slightly: "My Lord, please be careful with your words. How could I do such a trick? It was not me who asked him to go to the alley, and it was not me who asked him to wear the animal head."
Kong Dezhao was furious: "Fu Qingyin, if you dare to torture Kong Tu into confessing, this prince will never let you go!"
"Confession under torture? Your Highness, do you have so little confidence in your subordinates?" Fu Qingyin chuckled, "I also hope that his confession will be consistent."
"Someone, take him away."
The Red Dragon Guard stepped forward and took Kong Rabbit away.
Fu Qingyin ignored the furious Kong Dezhao, nor did he pay attention to Lu Xingyao who stayed out of the matter.
After walking a few steps, he turned to Yu Shengsheng and said, "Are you still not leaving?"
