Chapter 60 You, a bastard, deserve to be struck by lightning
"No one is instructing me, I just can't stand you, you bastard!"
Xiao Fuzi seemed to have made up her mind. She bit her lip, looked up and glared at Song Yunchu.
"Lord Jiang was devoted to the people and made great contributions to the country, but you slandered him for embezzling disaster relief funds, causing him to suffer exile and die of illness on the way to exile. It is you who should die! You are a top official, what else are you not satisfied with? You had to frame a good official, you bastard, you deserve to be struck by lightning!"
Song Yunchu: “…”
The Lord Jiang mentioned by the young eunuch was an official who used to work in the Ministry of Revenue. In Prime Minister Song’s memory, this man was not harmed by Prime Minister Song, but he was indeed related to Prime Minister Song.
As Prime Minister Song was a high-ranking official, there were many things she didn't have to do herself. There were also some annoying people she didn't need to deal with personally. Some of her subordinate officials might do things for her in order to win credit.
Prime Minister Song did dislike Lord Jiang. The one who forced Lord Jiang to death was the Minister of Works who belonged to Prime Minister Song's camp. The two of them had personal grudges against each other.
So... this blame still has to be put on her.
Party struggles are so complicated. They are not grudges between individuals, but grudges between parties.
If she were in her current state, she would definitely not frame loyal people, but the original owner had done a lot of things to slander political opponents. Those people now hated her, and she could only be forced to accept that hatred.
This little Fuzi is not only Jun Tianyi's man, perhaps he once had a close relationship with Lord Jiang, or maybe he just used Lord Jiang as an excuse. In any case, he had no intention of betraying Jun Tianyi.
"You bastard, if you want to kill me, just do it. I have nothing to say to you!"
Xiao Fuzi's face flushed red, and there was no struggle in his eyes. Instead, he looked at death with indifference, "Do you think I'm afraid of death? I only regret that I couldn't drag you, a bastard, to hell with me, so that you can make amends to Lord Jiang in the underworld!"
As he spoke, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and was about to hit Song Yunchu.
But how could the guards let him succeed? He just took a step forward when he was kicked to the ground by a guard, who drew his sword and pointed it at him, "You daring criminal slave, stop being so presumptuous!"
Xiao Fuzi looked at the sharp tip of the sword, gritted his teeth, put his neck against it, and slashed it hard!
His sudden act of suicide left no time for anyone to stop him. They could only watch the blood gushing out of his neck and he died soon after.
Seeing this, Jun Tianyi, who was standing by, loosened his clenched fists under his sleeves.
Xiao Fuzi had indeed received favors from Lord Jiang. He also accidentally saw Xiao Fuzi burning paper money in a remote corner of the palace. She cried as she burned, and said that she hoped Lord Jiang would be reborn into a good person in the next life. She would curse Song Yunchu for a bad death every day she lived.
He thought at the time that this little eunuch hated Song Yunchu so much, maybe he could be of use one day.
Burning paper money for an exiled criminal in the palace was a serious crime. When he walked over, Xiao Fuzi was so scared that her face turned pale. He did not make things difficult for Xiao Fuzi, and even talked to her about the good things that Lord Jiang had done.
Knowing that Xiao Fuzi was the lowest-ranking cleaning eunuch in the palace, he gave him some silver to supplement his difficult life. Xiao Fuzi was grateful to him and was very willing to work for him, and then he came up with today's plan.
When Song Yunchu interrogated Xiao Fuzi just now, his emotions also became tense. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and Xiao Fuzi was very likely to tell the truth, but fortunately... Xiao Fuzi did not betray him after all.
Jun Liluo waved his hand and asked the guards to drag Xiao Fuzi's body away. He turned to Song Yunchu and said, "Yunchu, since Xiao Fuzi committed suicide out of fear of crime, this matter is over. Go back to your room and have a good rest. I will order someone to bring you some excellent supplements."
The servant that Jun Tianyi found was quite reliable. If this servant could reveal Jun Tianyi in order to save his life, he would have a reason to detain Jun Tianyi for trial.
However, it is not surprising that this servant is willing to plead guilty. Anyone who dares to help Jun Tianyi slander important officials of the court must be courageous, so he will not feel upset because Jun Tianyi escaped. At least today he saw Song Yunchu's ability.
Song Yunchu's strategy of taking advantage of the situation probably surprised Jun Tianyi as well, right?
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take good care of myself and help Your Majesty after I recover."
When Song Yunchu bowed his head to express his gratitude, he glanced at Jun Tianyi.
Damn, you are so lucky.
Jun Tianyi really deserves to kowtow to Xiao Fuzi. He confessed his guilt and committed suicide on the spot without even a chance for interrogation. If Xiao Fuzi had valued his life a little, this scumbag would have been in trouble today.
Oh, there is a long time to go, we will fight again next time.
Although I can't send that scumbag to jail today, it's worth it to let the two silly girls who were obsessed with him in the original book see his ugly face.
On the top of the rockery behind the courtyard, Bai Zhu and Shangguan Yun hid behind the rocks, and could see everything in the yard through the cracks in the stones.
"Isn't that man a pig-brained person? Why didn't he betray Prince Yi? He died like this. Isn't he afraid of implicating his family members outside the palace?"
"Princess, keep your voice down." Bai Zhu reminded her in a low voice, and then continued, "Many palace servants who dare to commit suicide out of fear of crime when something happens are free of worries. This little eunuch is probably alone, so he dares to take the risk."
Shangguan Yun was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
When Song Yunchu closed the door, he told her that she was led here because she was tricked by Prince Yi.
"Princess, believe it or not, as soon as I close the door, someone outside will immediately report our affair to the emperor."
"What affair? I'm here to visit you! What are you doing behind closed doors? Isn't this just a way to cause misunderstanding?"
"It's better to let them misunderstand, otherwise how can we lure the snake out of its hole? May I ask you, Princess, why did you come to visit me alone? You can also avoid suspicion by bringing a maid with you."
"I brought a maid with me, but she fell on the way and hit her head and it was bleeding. She's still bandaging it. I was worried that your wound would get worse, so I hurried over to bring you medicine."
"That's right. They deliberately injured your maid to separate you from your master and servant, and then took advantage of your concern for me to lure you into my room alone. They drugged me before, so they must think that we are having an affair behind closed doors."
Afterwards, Song Yunchu took out a set of eunuch's clothes from the closet and handed it to her.
"Princess, please bear with me for now. Put on this eunuch's clothes. Bai Zhu is waiting for you outside the window. He is very familiar with the layout of the palace. He will take you away from the eyes and ears of others and choose a good place for you to watch the show. As long as others don't get close to you, they won't be able to recognize your identity."
Following Song Yunchu's instructions, she dressed up as a eunuch, put on a hat, and jumped out of the window sill beside the bed. Bai Zhu was waiting for her outside, and took her through some secluded places in a familiar way, and finally came to this rockery.
As Song Yunchu had expected, there were many people watching the fun in the courtyard, including the emperor and Prince Yi.
This Prince Yi is so shameless, dirty and disgusting!
"If he dares to plot against me like this, I will never let him go!"
