Chapter 199: Confession
The emperor was a little embarrassed for a moment.
If Yu Yan really committed murder and arson in private to get these courtiers, it would be impossible for him not to punish Yu Yan severely, but once he punishes Yu Yan severely, what if Yu Yan is forced to get out of his control...
.
When they were in trouble, the voice of the chamberlain suddenly came from outside, "Your Majesty, the third son of Prince Beijing and the young master of Prince Anping want to see you."
The moment this announcement came in, not to mention the emperor and several courtiers, even Yu Yan was stunned for a moment.
The emperor took a look at Yu Yan's reaction and then said: "Come in."
Xiao Jiayuan came in with a look of sleepiness on his face, dragging someone with him as he walked. Next to him was eight-year-old Gu Heng, who had red eyes and had obviously cried.
"God, this isn't... Mr. Gu!"
The young minister of Dali Temple was the first to exclaim.
The person dragged in by Xiao Jiayuan was Gu Heng's father, Gu Shoucheng.
It looked like he had been beaten with a whip. There were whip marks and blood all over his body, and he was a little unconscious.
The emperor's face was dark, and he felt that he was about to burst out of trouble, "What are you doing!"
Before Xiao Jiayuan could salute and say hello, Gu Heng knelt down.
"Mr. Gu Shoucheng, the second master of the Anping Mansion, asked his followers to kidnap me yesterday evening, because my book boy was a follower of Prince Yu, and he was very good at martial arts. He captured Gu Shoucheng's followers at that time.
When I found out that he was the instigator, I was so angry that I forced Changle, my bookboy, to help me tie up Gu Shoucheng.
Originally, I wanted to teach him a lesson, but this morning after my sister was taken back by Prince Yu, her life or death was uncertain. Considering that the previous murders of my sister were done by the Anping Mansion, I rushed to the house in anger.
Go to the room where Gu Shoucheng is being held and just ask him if he did it."
The emperor's eyelids twitched heavily.
The young minister of Dali Temple who had been shouting before took a shuddering breath and fell there with a pale face.
The emperor glanced at him, then looked at Gu Heng, "Really?"
Gu Heng didn't answer, turned his head and pulled Gu Shoucheng's hair expressionlessly, lifted his head up and hit it hard against the ground.
When the sound came out, several people nearby got goosebumps and all trembled.
Gu Shoucheng couldn't bear the pain and woke up from a coma.
The emperor slapped the table and said, "Gu Shoucheng, do you know your guilt?"
Gu Shoucheng let Gu Heng beat him until he was almost dead. His mind was in a state of confusion. At this moment, he was lying on the ground with half-open eyes, looking at the several shadows of the emperor sitting in the dragon chair.
He closed his eyes and took a breath, "Your Majesty, let me make the decision. I don't know anything. It was Uncle An Ping who did it. It was Uncle An Ping who arranged for thieves to break into the palace and ordered the young minister of Dali Temple to torture my daughter to extract a confession."
.”
Gudong.
Before Gu Shoucheng could finish his words, the young minister from the Dali Temple next to him saw his eyes darken, fell to the ground, and fainted.
The emperor felt that he was going to be angry to death.
Really, I will stop breathing right away, stop breathing on the spot, burp!
He slapped the table with both hands, "You are truly my good uncle! Ah! What a good uncle!"
Yu Yan glanced at Gu Heng sideways. Yesterday, he got the news from Zhending and rushed back overnight. In his hurry, he didn't know that Gu Heng had actually arrested Gu Shoucheng.
This actually saved him a lot of trouble.
Originally, I wanted to force out the behind-the-scenes instructions from these people, but there is no need now.
Yu Yan knelt down directly and clasped his fists with both hands. "I hope your majesty can make the decision for me!"
Gu Heng followed suit, "I beg Your Majesty to make the decision. My sister was killed for no reason and half of her life was lost."
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment glanced at Yu Yan, and then at the young minister of Dali Temple who was unconscious on the ground. "Something happened in the Ministry of Punishment. I am guilty of a serious sin and know that I cannot escape. But I have a question. Gu Luo and Gu Heng, one fourteen and one.
Eight years old, these are still two children. Why on earth does the Anping Mansion want to plot against these two children?
We did not hesitate to take risks to arrange thieves in the palace, bribed the young minister of Dali Temple to lure us into arresting Gu Luo, and tortured us in the cell to extract a confession from Gu Luo to make her admit that she had leaked the palace protection map.
To harm a child like this, especially if this child is now being treated by Mr. Jiang from Beiyan, why on earth is he doing this!"
Why, it is not difficult for people to connect it with the explosion at the Ministry of Punishment Prison tonight.
The Minister of Punishment looked at the emperor's face, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, if it is just internal strife, this is too much. What on earth could make someone so cruel to attack two children."
"Go and arrest Uncle An Ping!" The emperor was furious and ordered.
The head chamberlain glanced at the commander of the imperial army, then turned to execute the order.
After Yu Yan, the chief chamberlain, left, he followed: "Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, bribery of courtiers and throwing thieves into the palace is a capital crime!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes.
Yu Yan's expression was firm and he refused to give in. This time he would never let go lightly.
Mr. Xu from the cabinet sighed, "I am so foolish that I have been taken advantage of. I know I am guilty, but Your Majesty is wise. An Pingbo has repeatedly caused troubles in recent days, which has really caused a lot of public outrage.
The arrest of Medical Officer Gu this time not only involves the internal affairs of the Anping Prefecture, the affairs of this dynasty, but also the envoys of Beiyan."
Master Hao glanced at Master Xu, hesitated for a moment, and said nothing.
The leader of the imperial army said: "There was also someone who falsely preached the imperial edict yesterday. If it was Uncle An Ping who did it, he would be too bold."
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment said: "There is also an explosion in the prison cell of the Ministry of Punishment. I dare to guess whether it is related to the Anping residence. Otherwise, Anping Bo would not hesitate to offend the Northern Yan envoy and Prince Yu Xiao to arrange such a big picture, but only
To not be able to accommodate the legitimate daughter of the second wife? This... is unbelievable."
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at the kneeling person in front of him.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment are both princelings. Now one has fainted and the other...want to cut off the relationship and preserve their strength?
As for the three commanders of the imperial army and the cabinet...the emperor couldn't figure out whether they were being used or what.
But Yu Yan really had nothing to do with the explosion?
Did he really just catch up by chance?
Or maybe someone used him to rush to rescue Gu Luo and deliberately caused the explosion in the prison of the Ministry of Justice?
After all, it is not impossible to say that Yu Yan did this.
The emperor pressed his eyebrows, and finally took a deep breath and said to Gu Heng: "You go back to take care of your sister first. I will definitely not let you two siblings suffer in this matter, and I will give your sister an explanation."
Gu Heng pursed his lips, said nothing, kowtowed and stood up to exit.
The emperor looked at Xiao Jiayuan, "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Jiayuan rubbed his eyes before he woke up, "I heard that Prince Yu dragged someone into the palace for fear of causing trouble, so I came to take a look."
The emperor's mouth almost trembled and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Come and take a look?
What to see?
Did you see that no one was killed?
