Chapter 358: The Little Scholar in Male Disguise and the Amazing Emperor 16
He Wenxin sensed His Majesty's murderous intentions towards him.
Suddenly my back felt cold and cold sweat poured down like a waterfall.
The only thing to do now is to insist that this matter has nothing to do with me.
"Mr. He, how can you slander me without any evidence?"
He Wen suppressed his fear and denied it: "I have never sent anyone to buy your inscription, nor do I know this person, nor have I promised him any conditions to discredit your innocence. Your Majesty, please understand!"
Cha Jiu closed his eyes and recalled: "The man who attacked me was eight feet six inches tall, with small eyes and long eyebrows. There was a brown birthmark as big as the bottom of a bowl in the middle of his right face... When he walked, his left foot stepped heavier."
The more He Wenxin listened, the more shocked she became.
He didn't expect that the back alley of the brothel was dark, but Cha Jiu saw the attacker clearly!
"He attacked me with a rattan stick with a crane pattern." Cha Jiu continued, "The stick is short and tough, easy to hide in the arms without attracting attention, and convenient for him to carry it for sneak attacks. However, the wood used to make the rattan stick is not cheap, and only the top servants in the capital are equipped with one. I'm sure the person who attacked me would not easily throw it away."
He Wenxin suddenly had a bad feeling!
Sure enough, Cha Jiu's next words were: "Your Majesty, you can go to He Mansion to see if there is really such a person as I described, and the crane-patterned rattan stick."
Some of these details are extracted from the original body's memory, and some are messages given by the system.
Without saying anything, Yelu Zongzheng immediately sent people to search He's mansion.
At this time, the secret guard who was investigating the 100-liang silver note came back with the results.
"Your Majesty, this banknote was taken out of the bank this morning and sent to the He Mansion."
On the other side, the secret guard also found the silver coin with a missing corner downstairs from the window seat where He Wenxin had just sat.
The evidence of collusion and frame-up is conclusive.
He Wenxin's heart and blood froze, her head was buzzing, and she could no longer utter a word to defend herself.
Yelu Zongzheng looked at him and sneered: "You spied on the emperor, framed court officials, and even dared to murder people. He Wenxin, you are so brave."
After hearing this, the people around him pointed at He Wenxin and looked down on him.
"Since I can't match Lord He's talent, I resort to underhanded tactics. The He family is truly a place of great learning."
"What is the origin of family learning?"
"Don't you know that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, He Jinfu, once went to Beijing to seek refuge..."
Some of these whispers fell into the ears of Yelu Zongzhen.
After he listened carefully, his eyes suddenly became as cold as a pond.
Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Looks like I need to investigate this carefully.
Cha Jiu pretended not to know about all this.
Naturally, He Jinfu would find an opportunity to let Yelu Zongzhen know about his occupation of the original He family's property.
But rather than having her say it herself and ask for justice, it would be better for him to hear it from other people himself.
On the one hand, she still has to continue to maintain her image as a loyal minister who has no selfish desires and is simply loyal to the king.
Second one...
The bad nature of men.
It is far less effective for him to discover your needs and then take great pains to meet them than for you to ask him for something. This process will leave a deeper impression on him and make him obsessed.
He Wenxin was gagged and tied up and sent to the government office.
On the other hand, He Jinfu, who was enjoying his tea and listening to opera at home, suddenly saw several martial artists holding long swords and with cold and murderous looks breaking into his house.
Before he could rebuke them, the leader of the other side raised a token expressionlessly and said in a voice as cold as ice: "Your Majesty's order, search the He Mansion. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed immediately!"
He Jinfu was dumbfounded.
He recognized the token; it indeed belonged to the secret guard beside His Majesty.
But why did His Majesty suddenly search his house?
Could it be that his corruption and bribery have been discovered?
He Jinfu broke out in a sweat when he thought of the gold stuffed under the bed.
However, the leader of the secret guards did not go for the gold, but went straight to the yard where the servants lived and checked one by one. As expected, he found the person with the birthmark on the right cheek, and his other features were exactly the same as what Cha Jiu said.
He was eight feet six inches tall, not a centimeter more or less.
And the left foot's steps were indeed heavier, but even for those of them who practiced martial arts, they would have ignored it if they didn't listen carefully.
The leader of the secret guards could not help but admire Lord He as a true god.
Not only that, the man was just as Cha Jiu had expected. He was reluctant to throw away the blood-stained rattan stick, but continued to use it and placed it carelessly on the table. The secret guards did not have to search carefully to capture both the man and the stolen goods.
He Jinfu and Mrs. He watched the whole process nervously. At first, they were relieved when they saw the secret guards avoid the room where the gold was hidden.
But after seeing the people and things the secret guards had found, He Jinfu's heartbeat suddenly stopped again.
Soon, a servant came running over with a panicked look on his face and told what had happened in the tavern and the news that He Wenxin had been thrown into jail.
"The official said privately that if the evidence is conclusive and the charges are determined, the young master will either be executed or exiled!"
Mrs. He's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
He Jinfu hurriedly tried to find someone to smooth things over, but when everyone heard that His Majesty was involved in the case, they all kept silent and dared not help.
In the end, He Jinfu could only watch helplessly as his only son fell from the glory of a palace scholar to a prisoner.
…
After what happened in the tavern, the two of them no longer wanted to continue shopping.
Yelu Zongzheng sat in the carriage and sent Chajiu home first.
The house where Cha Jiu currently lives is in a deep alley, and carriages cannot enter.
But it suddenly started raining again.
"I'll take you in."
Xiao Shunzi took out two oil-paper umbrellas from the secret compartment of the carriage, but Yelu Zongzheng only took one and opened it to share with Chajiu.
The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, tightly pressed under an umbrella, almost blending into one in the rain.
Yelu Zongzheng kept tilting the umbrella towards Cha Jiu, and half of his body was soaked. After Cha Jiu noticed this, he quickly grasped the handle of the umbrella with both hands and turned the tilted umbrella back towards him.
The two of them were competing with each other back and forth.
In the end, Yelu Zongzheng had no choice but to wrap one of his big hands around her soft and warm little hands that were clasping the umbrella handle, and with the other hand he put his arm around her shoulders and held her in his broad arms.
"Well, this way none of us will get wet," he said.
Cha Jiu couldn't help but look up at him from her arms.
A pair of glass-like eyes were stained with the mist of rain, wet, confused and ignorant.
Yelu Zongzheng took great effort to restrain his urge to kiss her.
The tall and broad arms held the petite figure, and they walked slowly into the alley against the wind and rain, and soon arrived at the gate of the house.
Shen heard the noise and hurried out of the house with an umbrella, crossing the front yard to pick up her sister-in-law.
At this moment, Cha Jiu seemed to wake up and got out of Yelu Zongzheng's arms.
In an instant, Yelu Zongzheng's heart was empty, the fragrance dissipated, and his heart was suddenly empty, filled with a sense of loss.
"Your Majesty, I am already here. You should also return to the palace quickly to change into dry clothes and drink a cup of ginger tea to warm yourself up. Don't catch a cold."
Cha Jiu gave Yelu Zongzheng warm advice with a sincere look in her eyes. Every word she said was a genuine concern from the bottom of her heart, not just a false flattery.
Yelu Zongzhen could naturally feel it, and his ups and downs heart warmed up again, settling down in this storm.
A gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and he reached out to tidy up the wet hair scattered on her forehead. "Okay, I'm going back, and you take care of yourself."
Cha Jiu nodded.
Shen, who was standing by, became more and more shocked the more she watched.
She is not an unmarried girl who is ignorant of love affairs.
His Majesty looked at his sister-in-law with tenderness and love, which was beyond words. This was not an ordinary relationship between a monarch and his subjects.
He is clearly...
"Yan Yang will be handed over to your care for the time being." Yelu Zongzheng glanced at Shen indifferently, left these cold words, turned around, stepped into the rain, and strode away.
Xiao Shunzi trotted along beside him, holding an umbrella for him.
Shen's eyes were full of complexity.
