Chapter 421 Evidence
Prince Yuzhang knew that his mother would have this reaction, but this matter had to be told sooner or later, the sooner she died the sooner she would be reborn.
Maybe considering that he was beaten black and blue, his mother would scold him less. Moreover, knowing that he has someone he likes, his mother would not think about finding a princess for him, and she would have some peace of mind.
As expected, none of the beatings my son received were innocent.
Princess Teng was furious, but she still wanted to know which girl could make her son so shameless. She suppressed her anger and asked, "Who do you think is the girl from the Duke of Wei's Mansion?"
"...Miss Wei Si."
Princess Teng thought that Prince Yuzhang was interested in other girls in the Duke of Wei's Mansion. After all, Wei Mingzhu was ranked fourth, and she had two cousins who were also of marriageable age.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Wei Mingzhu.
Princess Teng's anger, which had not yet subsided, suddenly increased by another 20%. "Bring me a feather duster!"
The maid quickly brought the feather duster.
Princess Teng was beating her while scolding her, "Why did I give birth to such a shameless thing like you? How dare you still like Miss Wei Si?!"
The Prince of Yuzhang hid while saying, "So I'm wearing a mask, right?"
He dared to talk back after doing something wrong, so Princess Teng beat him even harder.
The maids hid aside, fearing that they would be implicated.
Everything else in Prince Teng's Mansion is durable, except for the feather duster, which wears out too much and needs to be replaced every few days.
Who would buy feather dusters by the dozen? Only the Prince of Teng's Mansion. No, there's also the Marquis of Linjiang's Mansion and the Minister of War's Mansion...
Princess Teng was so angry that she felt dizzy. A good marriage was ruined by her son, but now she felt that the girl was good and wanted to go back to her. She was the apple of the Duke of Wei's eye, not a weed on the roadside!
Prince Yuzhang thought that his mother would scold him less because he had been beaten, but his expectation failed.
The wife of Prince Teng accidentally sprained her waist while beating her son. When Prince Teng returned home and learned about it, he beat up the Prince of Yuzhang again.
Being beaten three times a day is unheard of.
After Chu Yang and Prince Yuzhang left, Xie Jingyu sat down and looked through the account book of the distribution of spoils in Jizhou that Chu Yang brought back.
After just reading a few pages, his brows gradually furrowed.
Shen Wan saw it and said, "Is there a problem with the account book?"
Xie Jingyu looked at Chen Wan, "I remember you said that in your previous life, Chu Yang brought back evidence and the emperor imprisoned the left prime minister?"
Previous life...
Hearing these two words, Shen Wanxin jumped up.
How did Xie Jingyu know about his past life?
She never mentioned these two words in front of him. She always said it was a dream.
Shen Wan's heart was beating wildly, wondering if Xie Jingyu had been reborn like her. But if so, there was no need for her to remind him. He would not have let the princess go to the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion to celebrate his birthday. There were many other things that Xie Jingyu didn't know.
Xie Jingyu will never be reborn!
But why did he say these two words...
Shen Wan was distracted, and Xie Jingyu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
The two words "previous life" were either accidentally slipped out by Xie Jingyu, or he said them on purpose.
In two months, the child would be born, but he still hadn't waited for Shen Wan to confess her past life to him. He guessed that maybe Shen Wan didn't dare. After all, rebirth was too absurd, so it was normal that she didn't dare to tell him.
Then he would bring it up first. Not only was he not afraid, he also believed that such things existed in the world. She should have told him at least.
Shen Wan came back to his senses and nodded, "Indeed, Chu Yang brought back evidence, and the emperor has imprisoned the left prime minister."
Xie Jingyu said, "There's no mention of the Left Prime Minister in this account book. All the money transactions were handled by Mr. Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Lord Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was none other than the brother of the wife of the Left Prime Minister.
The Left Prime Minister was a sinister and cunning person. He did not have direct financial dealings with the Jizhou officials. If this account book was handed over, the Minister of the Honglu Temple would be imprisoned. However, in order to put the Left Prime Minister in jail, the Minister of the Honglu Temple had to confess the Left Prime Minister.
Xie Jingyu remembered that Shen Wan did not tell him this. It was Linjiang Hou who was ordered to go to Jizhou to investigate the granary flooding case and died in Jizhou. After Chu Yang dealt with his father's funeral, he sneaked into Jizhou and found conclusive evidence. The emperor imprisoned the left prime minister.
Xie Jingyu asked, "Think carefully, was the Left Prime Minister imprisoned directly, or was he imprisoned after questioning the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"
Shen Wan said, "They were sent directly to prison. The Left Prime Minister and the Minister of the Honglu Temple were arrested together."
Because compared with the high position and power of the Left Prime Minister, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was not worth mentioning, so Chen Wan did not mention him. When the nest is overturned, all the eggs will be intact. If the Left Prime Minister falls, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites will not be well off.
Shen Wan remembered this matter clearly. Seeing Xie Jingyu's frown, Shen Wan asked, "Could this account book be fake?"
Xie Jingyu said, "The account book is real, but it's not enough. The Minister of the Ministry of Rites should also have a copy of the account transactions with the Left Prime Minister."
But Xie Jingyu was not optimistic about getting this one.
This life is different from Shen Wan's previous life. In the previous life, the granary in Jizhou was flooded after a heavy rain. In this life, the granary was burned before it rained in Jizhou. At that time, Xiahou Yi was in Ning Dynasty.
It is no small matter for a prime minister of a country to be imprisoned. Even if Xiahou Yi is in North Vietnam, it is normal for him to hear about it.
In his previous life, Chu Yang went to Jizhou to investigate a case with the revenge for his father's murder. His goal was to find evidence to overthrow the Zuo Xiang and the Jizhou officials under his wing. In this life, Chu Yang went to investigate a case because he was recommended by him. His mentality was different. He found out that the burning of the Jizhou granary was not an accident, but a cover-up for the fact that the granary was sold out, and he considered that he had completed his mission.
Xie Jingyu thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the palace to find the emperor."
The evidence that was finally found must be presented to the emperor for review.
Shen Wan would definitely not stop Xie Jingyu, but Xie Jingyu asked, "Do you have anything to say to the emperor?"
Shen Wan, “…”
He came to the palace to see the emperor on important matters. Isn't it inappropriate for her to ask him to speak for the emperor?
But Xie Jingyu asked so casually, as if she should do so.
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow, “How about you help me greet the emperor and flatter him a little?”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
You can pay your respects on my behalf, but flattery...
"Take the photo next time you go to the palace."
Pinching Shen Wan's nose, Xie Jingyu took the account book and token and rode into the palace.
Imperial study.
The emperor is playing chess with the right prime minister.
The young eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Jingbei requests an audience."
"Let him in."
As soon as the emperor placed a chess piece, Xie Jingyu stepped forward and saluted the emperor.
The emperor glanced at him and asked, "Why did you enter the palace?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Chu Yang has returned from Jizhou. He was injured and dared not enter the palace. He asked me to present the evidence I found to the emperor for his review."
...Have you really found evidence?
The emperor was indeed a little surprised.
The emperor did not think that Chu Yang could solve such a big case. It was just that Xie Jingyu used Shen Wan's dream as an excuse to strongly recommend Chu Yang. The emperor was willing to give Chu Yang this opportunity because of his daughter's dream that always worked.
"Show it up."
