Twenty-four people were interrogated for a whole night.
The trial was not completed until dawn.
Yan Shiyue took it and took a look. The confession on the paper was fragmentary but complete. It could be said that it clearly stated the cause and effect of this casino and all the circumstances.
Among them, more than one person had seen Pan Yun, the consort of Princess Shouning. In other words, he was absolutely aware of this casino.
The Fourth Prince also looked at it and frowned, saying, "Even if it is found out that it is him, there is no major punishment under the law."
Yan Shiyue sneered: "He dared to come to my Deshan Garden to gamble, isn't it just relying on this point?"
The Fourth Prince was about to nod when his hand suddenly trembled.
When Yan Shiyue looked sideways, he saw a man's confession.
He confessed that the manager told him to guide others to vote for two people when placing bets. One was surnamed Liu, and the other was actually Tang Heng. Both of them were well-known talents and popular candidates for the top three. He also asked why they voted for these two people, what if they won...
The man laughed and said, since he was asked to vote, there was always a way to make him miss.
...
...
Some people even suggested to avoid Xu Wenqu and Tang Shirong when placing bets, because these two people are "sure to win"!
And it’s not just that. In the confessions of many people, there are instructions on whether specific people voted or not! In other words, this casino is indeed "colluding with each other, favoritism and fraud"! This is a real hammer!
This is a big deal!
The two looked at each other silently, both speechless.
The fourth prince said, "I will go back immediately and ask for instructions from the emperor."
Yan Shiyue grabbed his forearm: "Wait!"
She frowned slightly and thought quickly in her mind.
It is impossible not to investigate the cheating in the imperial examination. It is easy to guess how Emperor Ming Yan would react after receiving the report, but this is not the best strategy.
She weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and quickly made up her mind, calling Ding Xiaoyan: "Let's go, visit Princess Shouning's mansion!"
The fourth prince said, "I'll go with you."
"No need," Yan Shiyue said, "Without desire, one is strong. I ask for little, so I can do more naturally. You are different."
"Without desire, one is strong." The fourth prince lowered his eyes slightly, pondering the meaning of these words, and then insisted: "I will go with you."
Yan Shiyue didn't persuade him anymore, and said to Yan Chengyuan: "Dad, you go back and rest first, I will be fine."
Yan Chengyuan nodded.
Before Princess Shouning had even finished her breakfast, someone announced that Her Royal Highness Princess Fuyan and the Fourth Prince had arrived.
Such a big thing happened yesterday, and everyone in the capital who should know it already knew about it. How could Princess Shouning not know about it?
Pan Yun was handsome and gentle, and the couple had a good relationship. She had already made up her mind that even if Yan Shiyue went to file a complaint with the emperor, she would definitely do her best to protect her husband. After all, according to the laws of this dynasty, gambling was not a serious offense.
But unexpectedly, Yan Shiyue did not go directly to Emperor Ming Yan, but chose to confront him head-on.
Princess Shouning was extremely furious.
But no matter how angry she was, she could not argue with him, so she could only respectfully invite him in and bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness. Fourth brother, why are you here? Can you have breakfast?"
Yan Shiyue said crisply, "Yesterday in my Deshan Garden, we found some people gambling, so my fourth brother and I sent them to Jingzhao Prefecture..." She recounted the incident quickly, clearly and plainly, leaving no room for anyone to play dumb.
Then she said, "So, I want to ask, was this instigated by the Prince Consort?"
Pan Yun was right behind him, listening to every word.
He had already regretted it to the point of his intestines turning green. Why did he agree to open a gambling game in Deshan Garden in the first place? There were obviously plenty of places nearby, so why did he mess around and provoke this evil star?
If he had known this would happen, he would never do this!
Princess Shouning said, "Your Highness, it's an unfortunate omen that you came. The Prince Consort is not feeling well and is not suitable to see guests."
"Xiaoyan!" Yan Shiyue called out, "Go to the mansion and invite our imperial physician to come over and have a look at the Prince Consort."
Princess Shouning finally became furious: "Tang Shiyue! You are so arrogant! Do you have to be so ruthless? I have never offended you, why do you go against me like this? This is really too much!"
Yan Shiyue sneered and said word by word: "I don't know you at all, so there is no need to go against you. What I am looking for is the person who opened the gambling game in Deshan Garden... Since this person happens to be your son-in-law, then I also want to ask, I have never offended you, why did you open a gambling game in my Deshan Garden!? Why are you so arrogant! Are you bullying too much!!"
Princess Shouning was so angry that her chest collapsed: "It's just a gambling game! You are clearly framing me!"
"Isn't it just a gambling game? Isn't it just killing someone? Isn't it just selling an official position? Isn't it just Deshan Garden!" Yan Shiyue sneered again and again: "What do you mean by 'just'? Deshan Garden is my kindness, my filial piety to my father, and my sincerity to the world. You stab me in the heart and ask me why I am angry?"
"You!" Princess Shouning's eyes widened with anger: "What do you want? I opened it! I made a bet! All these things were instigated by me! What do you want? Can you take my life?"
Yan Shiyue said calmly: "Paper and pen."
Ding Xiaoyan jumped in quickly and offered his hands. Yan Shiyue pushed it over: "If it is indeed the princess who did it, then please write it down. If it is not the princess who did it, then please ask the culprit to come out..."
"I won't write it! Why! What right do you have to order me to write this! Who do you think you are? I won't write it!" Princess Shouning threw a tantrum and shouted, "Come on! Get everyone out! I won't entertain such bad guests!"
"Isn't that unreasonable?" Yan Shiyue smiled slightly: "Okay, then let's be unreasonable. Little eyes, knife!"
Ding Xiaoyan hesitated.
She glanced over and Ding Xiaoyan quickly pulled out a dagger from his boots and handed it to her. Yan Shiyue pulled it away casually, and a cold light flashed.
Princess Shouning was so frightened that she trembled: "What do you want to do! Someone come! Someone come!"
The people from the Princess's Mansion quickly rushed over, Jia He and others also quickly rushed in, and even the Fourth Prince stood up: "Yuer! Don't be impulsive!"
Yan Shiyue walked forward steadily. Shouning screamed in fright and rushed forward but was blocked by Jia and several others.
Jiahe carried it out resolutely. As long as my master was fine, he didn't care who died.
Yan Shiyue approached step by step with a smile, suddenly turned the dagger over and stuffed the handle directly into Princess Shouning's hand.
She smiled and looked into her eyes, saying word by word: "Okay, let's start the unreasonable way of dealing with it now... Shouning, can you stab me? If you stab me to death, Jiahe will kill you. If he can't kill you, I will go to the palace to complain and say that you hurt me... What do you think Aye will do? Of course he won't kill you, but the prince consort you are protecting with all your heart, but..."
Princess Shouning had lived a life of luxury and had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that she almost cried out loudly and her legs went limp: "Are you crazy? You are crazy! Crazy! Help! Help!"
Pan Yun finally rushed in and said with a pale face: "Enough! I did it! I ordered it! Let go of the princess!"
