Chapter 347 Overturning the Case
Jiang is a common surname, and there are several officials in Kyoto with the surname Jiang. If Si'er hadn't told her, Chen Tang would never have guessed that it was Concubine Jiang's maiden family.
Yesterday, Miss Jiang Biao wanted to harm Chen Tang, and today the Jiang family is in trouble. There is no better news than this.
Chen Tang's intuition told him that Concubine Jiang's brother's imprisonment was related to Xiao Huan's return to the capital.
But no matter how long he waited, Xie Guimo still didn't come back. Chen Tang was so anxious.
When the news of Master Jiang's arrest reached Chen Tang, it also reached Concubine Jiang's ears. Concubine Jiang felt like the sky had fallen. After all, that was her mother's home, and no one dared to spread rumors about such a big thing. Besides, Concubine Jiang knew a little about what her brother had done, so she was anxious and hurried back to the Jiang family.
In order to wait for Xie Guimo, Chen Tang did not even take a nap and was extremely energetic. After finally waiting for Xie Guimo to return home, he was called to the study by the prince and had to wait for a while longer.
"Princess, the prince is back."
Finally I'm back.
Chen Tang quickly got down from the small couch. When Xie Guimo came in, he asked, "Was Mr. Jiang arrested because of the Ganzhou case?"
Xie Guimo nodded.
Chen Tang's eyes widened and he lowered his voice and asked, "Aren't the King of Qi and the Marquis of Changping behind this case?"
Xie Guimo said, "It can be seen that Master Jiang has been in collusion with them for a long time."
Chen Tang thought of his previous life, when the prince and Xie Guimo met with accidents one after another, and finally the title fell into the hands of Xie Guiyin. Except for the prince, almost everyone in the Jingyang Palace was in cahoots with Concubine Ye to put pressure on the princess. They had been in the same group for a long time.
But what Chen Tang didn't understand was that Concubine Ye and the princess were cousins, but she openly asked the princess to help her win the throne, but secretly joined forces with Concubine Jiang and others. She really couldn't understand Concubine Ye's actions.
A feeling of being smart and stupid at the same time.
Xie Guimo said, "The evidence brought back by your elder brother and Young Master Lu is enough to prove that Envoy Lu was wronged, but whether this fire can eventually burn the Marquis of Changping and the King of Qi depends on whether we can pry open Master Jiang's mouth."
As a prince, he condoned the collusion between officials and bandits. Once this crime is confirmed, the Prince of Qi will no longer have any chance to compete with the Prince of Yu for the position of crown prince.
Chen Tang sat down and realized belatedly, "Who did you just say was the evidence my eldest brother brought back?"
Xie Guimo laughed, "Master Lu."
"He's not dead?" Shen Tang was surprised.
Xie Guimo nodded, "He escaped to Ganzhou and hid in the prefectural government. When those people went to kill him, he saved the son of the Ganzhou prefect. Prefect Li probably expected that he would be abandoned one day, so he wrote down all the bribes and hid them in a safe place. He told his son before he died."
If Young Master Lu hadn't rescued the people, no one would have known where the evidence was hidden.
Young Master Lu knew that his father's injustice was related to Magistrate Li, so he went into hiding in the Magistrate's mansion. During those days of hiding, the injury Young Master Lu suffered at the border relapsed. Young Master Li saw that his arm was hurting, so he asked the steward to call a doctor for Young Master Lu.
Because of this kindness, when Li Zhizhou's family was about to be murdered, Young Master Lu couldn't bear it and rescued Young Master Li.
Later, Young Master Li learned that Young Master Lu wanted to overturn the case for Envoy Lu Xuanfu, and that the evidence could help him and bring the people who had killed his family to justice, so he handed the evidence to Young Master Lu.
No wonder the eldest brother felt that Envoy Lu would not do anything that colludes with officials and bandits after only meeting him a few times. He spoke for Envoy Lu in front of Old Prince Ning, and was able to teach his son to let go of hatred and save the son of his enemy, who would never disdain to do those dirty things. No wonder the second brother almost couldn't return to Beijing. The next day after recognizing his ancestors, he couldn't wait to go to Ganzhou to find evidence to overturn the case for the Lu family.
Master Jiang did not hold a high position in the court, but because he was the cousin of Prince Jingyang, no one dared to look down on him. When such a man was suddenly thrown into prison, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. They were all guessing what crime Master Jiang had committed. There was no news about it beforehand, and he was suddenly thrown into prison. Was Master Jiang's crime related to Prince Jingyang?
There were many speculations, but after learning that Master Jiang was imprisoned due to the contribution of Prince Jingyang, all of them felt that it had nothing to do with the Jingyang Palace.
The reason why the phrase "killing one's own relatives for the sake of justice" has become a word of praise is that there are very few people who can do it. The glory and honor of Prince Jingyang's Mansion almost all depend on Prince Jingyang alone. If Prince Jingyang falls, Prince Jingyang's Mansion will no longer exist.
King Qi and Marquis Changping were also greatly shocked. Didn't Xiao Huan leave Beijing to look for his brother who fell off a cliff and disappeared? Why did he go to Ganzhou? !
The governor of Ganzhou and General Anxi were killed, but they were able to find evidence, and it was irrefutable evidence.
Marquis Changping was so angry that he felt dizzy and could hardly stand.
In the case of their collusion with the officials and bandits in Ganzhou, their only barrier is Master Jiang. Once Master Jiang can't stand the torture and confesses them, everything will be over!
Concubine Jiang rushed to the Jiang family, but found that Mr. Jiang had already been thrown into the death row of the Ministry of Justice. The soldiers were guarding the Jiang family and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Concubine Jiang couldn't enter the Jiang family, so she rushed to the Ministry of Justice, but was still unable to enter the death row of the Ministry of Justice. After running around for a while, she could only return to Prince Jingyang's Palace.
Concubine Jiang went to look for the prince, but the prince refused to see her, which made Concubine Jiang angry and she came to Chenxiangxuan.
When he came, Chen Tang happened to be out. He said a few words to the already angry Concubine Jiang, and she was so angry that she almost died. "Concubine Jiang, have you sprained your ankle? Are you here to apologize to me?"
apologize? !
She wanted to skin Chen Tang and Xie Guimo alive.
Concubine Jiang said coldly, "The Jiang family is the prince's maternal family. What exactly do you brothers and sisters want to do to harm the Jiang family with some fabricated evidence?"
As soon as they open their mouths, they say that the Jiang family is the prince's maternal family. No wonder Prince Qi and Marquis Changping want to push Master Jiang to the front. If they want to investigate Master Jiang, they have to get through Prince Jingyang.
But Prince Qi and Marquis Changping would never have thought that the one who investigated Master Jiang was her, the eldest brother of the Crown Prince of Jingyang, and that the evidence was presented personally by Xie Guimo, the Crown Prince of Jingyang.
Anyone in the court, civil or military, can investigate this case except the prince.
Is he going to accuse his son of slandering the Jiang family?
Get Mr. Jiang out and send your own son to jail?
The prince couldn't even say that there was insufficient evidence and that it still needed to be verified.
Furthermore, the prince will not and cannot cover up the collusion between officials and bandits to slander virtuous people. Mr. Jiang has chosen the path himself and he has to bear the consequences himself.
Chen Tang was pregnant and was too lazy to argue with Concubine Jiang. It was fine for her to just watch her desperate actions quietly.
But the princess couldn't stand it anymore, so she came over and scolded, "Do you think the court and the emperor are all vegetarians? You can send Master Jiang to the death row of the Ministry of Justice with fabricated evidence. The Jiang family has done a favor to the prince, so you should go find the prince to save Master Jiang. Why are you making trouble in Chenxiang Pavilion?!"
If the prince wanted to see her, she would not come to Chenxiangxuan.
Concubine Jiang was so angry that she was shaking all over. The princess was afraid that she would hurt Chen Tang, "Send Concubine back. If you don't leave, I will ask someone to drag you back."
