Chapter fifty nine
Chen You's scalp was numb when Chu Tingchuan saw it. He felt that he couldn't hide anything. Chu Tingchuan's eyes seemed to be able to see through his stomach.
This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he had the illusion that he was suppressed and could not breathe.
After a quiet moment in the lobby, Chu Tingchuan sneered coldly: "It seems that Mr. Chen is still hard or soft. I have given you a chance, Mr. Chen."
He said, nodding to Ying Changshi: "Since Mr. Chen refuses to say it, I have to trouble Mr. Chen. I believe Mr. Chen is filial and will not bear to see his father in a difficult situation. He may have a few truths in his mouth."
Chen You suddenly became impatient: "I said it was nothing to him! How could he know about us adults?"
Ying Changshi ignored him. After being here for so long, Mr. Chen has been in circles and not telling the truth. It is really annoying. Since Mr. Chen is so dishonest, of course he has to teach him and make him more honest.
The people from the Ministry of Justice were very fast. Chu Tingchuan and Li Shangshu Zhou Shilang and others went out to have a snack and the person was already brought there.
Master Chen was wearing a straight blue dress, wearing a straight body, and looked very handsome. Chu Tingchuan didn't say anything and didn't let him speak. He looked at Li Shangshu first.
Li Shangshu understood and nodded to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou immediately said, "Take thirty sticks!"
Chen You suddenly became anxious: "Why should I attack him?!"
"What's the point? Mr. Chen informed Mr. Qi. We have reason to suspect that Mr. Chen is related to the murder case of Mr. Qi. Mr. Chen has been with you several times when you went to the princess's mansion. We suspect that he had reason to know that he would not report it. Since he was a suspect, then the majesty of beating him for dozens of sticks is also a common thing in the yamen. Don't you understand?" As the chief of the Yingshi said, he ordered the yamen to "beat!"
The people below saw what the superiors meant and did not dare to be perfunctory. They pressed Mr. Chen heavily on the bench and started fighting one after another.
The stick hit the body, and Mr. Chen quickly lost the strength to shout.
Chu Tingchuan looked at Chen Shun, who was anxious and sweating: "Mr. Chen, I have been here since early morning to the present for this case. If I can't find out the reason, I will not give up. I don't care. It's just taking some time, but the young master may not be able to hold on. If you tell a lie and make a false confession, then Mr. Chen will be beaten thirty more sticks. I wonder if Mr. Chen will be willing to give up?"
How many fathers can stand beating their son in front of me?
Before the second time, Mr. Chen closed his eyes in pain and said in pain: "I said! This matter is indeed related to me. Between me and the eldest princess...yes...yes..."
Everyone knows if it hasn't been expressed.
Chu Tingchuan waited for Mr. Chen to say those words, then nodded and signaled him to continue speaking.
Mr. Chen was in great pain and was trembling. After a while, he calmed down and then said: "As for the night before the Princess attacked in the East Palace, I went to the Princess's Mansion. I did hear the princess complaining about the bad words of the princess... Yes, it was not my idea! Yes... someone else instigated the princess!"
Mr. Zhou immediately beat the snake and went up with the stick, and asked, "Who is it?!"
"It's from the He family! The people from the He family came to find the eldest princess and said something..." Chen Shilang shook his head, as if he was trying to make himself more awake: "The eldest princess looks down on the people of the He family, but the people from the He family came to the door and said bad things about the Crown Princess, so she didn't drive anyone away... The next day, she made things difficult for the Crown Princess in public, hoping that the Crown Princess would not come out of Taiwan..."
Ying Changshi stood behind the clerk, looked at the clerk's record, frowned and said, "Stop talking!"
"Who knew that the Crown Princess was not easy to bully, and was not moved by the provocation of the eldest princess, and made the eldest princess lose her sense of duty. The Princess Qi also wanted to divorce the princess. The Princess had always loved Princess Qi deeply. No matter how unfamiliar the Princess Qi was to her for so many years, the Princess couldn't bear to separate from Princess Qi. This time, Princess Qi went to beg the Queen Mother so firmly. The Princess was very angry. The people from the He family came to the door again, and they didn't know what they said to the Princess, so the Princess went out. During that time, Prince Qi heard about this from somewhere, and actually used a knife to attack the Princess Qi..."
Chen Shilang's voice became more and more dull: "The eldest princess knew about it and almost collapsed. She would not think that something happened to Prince Qi's princess Qi, but the big mistake had been made and there was no way. She had to ask me to take care of Prince Qi. However, the evidence of Prince Qi's crime was conclusive and I could do nothing. The eldest princess met the people of the He family again, and then decided to commit suicide. Before leaving, she called me over and told Prince Qi about her death, and then told Prince Qi the content of her suicide note, so that Prince Qi could save her life. She said... She said this was not a whim. As long as Prince Qi did this, there would naturally be many people who would stand up to support Prince Qi..."
Chu Tingchuan stood up and saw that Chen Shilang was already in a state of sluggishness, he said to Zhou Shilang: "I asked Zhou Shilang to arrest He's family and bring him to justice. I heard Chen Shilang confession. The person behind this is quite a big plan."
Mr. Zhou hurriedly responded, and turned around and took the person to arrest him.
Chu Tingchuan asked Changshi Ying to sort out the files, and then sorted out the confessions of Qi Huanji and Chen Shilang. When these were done, Zhou Shilang also came back.
Mr. Zhou rushed out of nowhere and after returning, he said to Chu Tingchuan with a serious expression: "The He family has left the city this morning!"
Going out of the city?
Chu Tingchuan pointed his finger on the table and raised his eyebrows to ask Mr. Zhou: "What do the others in the He family say? They all ran away?"
"Your Highness has no idea, because Miss He Er was too much, and the He family offended the Xu family, and life has been difficult, and the tribe members are all scattered. Only Miss He Er is left in the He family's legitimate branch. Miss He Er has been locked up before and said she was recuperating, but recently she has frequently gone to and from the eldest princess's mansion..." Mr. Zhou looked at Chu Tingchuan boldly: "Your Highness, if it is as expected, the person who supports Miss He Er to stand up again in the He family should be Mr. Xu Er."
Xu family!
Chu Tingchuan thought so too.
He raised the corner of his mouth and ordered Mr. Zhou: "Give me instructions and have someone post a reward list to arrest the people of the He family!"
Minister Zhou didn't dare to be careless. The matter involved the Xu family. How could the Xu family fall? That was a serious crime of treason! He hurriedly went to do it.
