Chapter 188 Back then (Part 2)
Princess Qinyang returned to her seat calmly, and then she heard Su Wei say, "It is said that one day before the incident, Han Yao personally visited Ye Heng and begged him to plead for Han Tong. But the two sides did not seem to have a pleasant conversation, and many people on that day could testify to this."
After a pause, Su Wei continued, "So I guess that Han Yao may have some leverage over Ye Heng, and used it to force him to save Han Tong. After Han Tong was sentenced to beheaded, Ye Heng was worried that Han Yao would be provoked and fight to the death with him, so he decided to strike first."
Concubine Ru was stunned: "Handle? What kind of handle would make Ye... care so much?"
Emperor Mu Wu snorted coldly: "Han Tong committed a capital crime, and Han Yao actually wanted Ye Heng to intercede for him. He is really confident. I want to know where does he get this confidence from?"
Everyone could hear the cold anger in Emperor Mu Wu's words.
Su Wei said, "Your Majesty, I have interrogated Ye Heng before, but he denied everything and kept saying that he knew nothing. Han Yao's poisoning had nothing to do with him. However, I heard from the Han family's servants who were present that Han Yao once threatened that Ye Heng was related to his brother's accident."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked!
When Ye Heng was imprisoned, everyone just thought that he had some irreconcilable conflicts with the Han family, but who knew that it involved so much!
"You mean, Ye Zheng?" Emperor Mu Wu narrowed his eyes, and there was no trace of anger in his voice.
Su Wei bowed his head respectfully: "Yes."
Emperor Muwu looked solemn.
The reason why he could immediately remember the name Ye Zheng was because he had met Ye Chutang and his four siblings at the polo match before.
It is so hard to forget the scene at that time.
only--
Concubine Ru reacted for a moment, looked at Emperor Mu Wu, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I remember that Lord Ye Zheng was killed by bandits after leaving the capital. His wife and eldest son were also killed? Didn't they say it was an accident? Could it be..."
Everyone looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
What does this mean? Was Ye Zheng's accident related to Ye Heng?
But aren’t they brothers?!
Many people couldn't help but talk in low voices.
"Is this true? Was Ye Heng responsible for Ye Zheng's death?"
"Impossible!? They are brothers from the same bloodline, and I remember that they had a very good relationship at that time. How could Ye Heng do such a thing?"
"That's hard to say. People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Who knows what Ye Heng is thinking?"
"If this is true, then Ye Heng is too... You know, he relied on Ye Zheng to be transferred to the capital and gain a foothold here!"
"In fact, I have always found it strange. When Ye Zheng was demoted, he traveled north along the official road in the cold winter. How could he have happened to encounter bandits? Moreover, those people would have robbed money, but why did they kill people? This..."
When Murong Ye heard this, he was extremely anxious.
If this continues, I’m afraid that Ye Heng will never be able to wash the dirty water off his head!
"His Majesty!"
Murong Ye suddenly raised his voice, which seemed particularly abrupt in the spacious and quiet hall.
"This is a strange matter. Your Majesty, please think twice!"
No one expected Murong Ye to suddenly speak at this time.
Murong Yang looked back, his eyes filled with shock and anger.
"Aye!"
——What kind of place is this! He has no right to interrupt!
However, Murong Ye couldn't care about anything else.
He stood up and walked to the hall, clasped his fists and saluted, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Ye is loyal and upright, and would never kill someone in public. There must be something wrong here. I hope Your Majesty will investigate it!"
