Chapter 113: The real murderer(1/2)

When Zhang Jing entered the palace, he found that the defense here was much tighter, almost five steps per whistle and ten steps per post.

Following the eunuch who led the way, he walked in quickly and then came to Qinzheng Hall.

In the Qinzheng Hall, it is very quiet.

As soon as Zhang Jing entered the hall, he saw Emperor Tianqi sitting upright, his eyebrows tightly frowned, and his expression was very serious, as if he was looking down at something.

Wei Zhongxian stood aside, lowering his head.

The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Tian Ergeng was on the ground without saying a word.

Zhang Jing bowed and said, "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Tianqi's face still looked a little pale. At this time, he only looked up at Zhang Jingyi, but did not say anything, and continued to bow his head.

These confessions were shocking to Emperor Apocalypse.

It's so scary, so scary!

There is such a person around me.

This is something that Emperor Apocalypse could never imagine.

He secretly hid arms, affaired with Jiannu, and poisoned the emperor.

Any crime here is unforgivable, which is enough to confiscate the family and destroy the clan.

Emperor Tianqi originally didn't believe that Wei Shichun would do such a thing.

In his opinion, Wei Shichun was a loyal and honest person, but now he realized that he was blinded by his loyal appearance.

When Emperor Tianqi shivered when he thought of this, he couldn't help but wonder, is there anyone in this world who can trust?

In this confession, everyone is signed and stamped, from physical evidence to personal evidence, everything is available.

It even includes the confession of the Wei family butler.

The signature and seal of the above mentioned how Wei Shichun colluded with these merchants, how he hid weapons and pufferfish poison in private, where did he find it?

After taking a deep breath, Emperor Aoki sighed: "I really didn't expect it."

"Your Majesty, didn't you think of anything?" Zhang Jing asked inappropriately.

Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "I didn't expect that Wei Shichun was so bold that he was so hateful, hateful!"

He scolded two hateful words, then threw the confession in his hand onto the document, saying, "Let's see it for yourself."

Then a little eunuch sorted out the confession and sent it to Zhang Jingyi.

Zhang Jingyi really wanted to find some clues from these confessions.

For example, there are conflicts in confessions between each other, or other things.

But I found that there was almost no problem with this confession.

It can be said to be flawless.

So much so that Zhang Jingyi doubted life. Could it be that... his guess was wrong? Is this Wei Shichun really a traitor?

Thinking about it this way, it becomes more and more incredible.

Finally, Zhang Jingyi put down his confession and said, "Your Majesty... The Wei family has been trusted by the palace for all generations, and has made many contributions over the years. Such a person... was so crazy that he did not expect... However... I think this matter is of great importance. Is it wrong to determine that an earl is ruthless based on his confession alone?"

Emperor Tianqi sneered: "It is because the ancestors of the Wei family were all loyal people, that Wei Shichun is so hateful. This case is so big, of course it is impossible to believe only these confessions. Tian Ergeng, you ordered people... to take all these criminals into the palace, and I will personally investigate."

When Zhang Jingyi heard that Emperor Tianqi was going to examine him personally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tian Ergeng was energetic at this time. He knew that the time for his performance had come, so he immediately said, "Yes."

So Tian Ergeng left in a hurry.

At this time, Emperor Tianqi slowly stood up, walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, looked heartbroken, and said, "He dares to harm me. What do I have to do with the Wei family... stupid, really stupid!"

Wei Zhongxian quickly advised: "Your Majesty is in bad health, so it's better not to get angry."

Emperor Tianqi said angrily: "How about I be angry?"

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Emperor Tianqi stopped and sighed again: "You said... why did you dare to do such a thing for money? I have given them enough wealth to the Wei family, but I am still greedy."

He got angry alone, but Wei Zhongxian would not persuade him anyway.

Zhang Jingyi had the lessons of Wei Zhongxian, so he naturally didn't say anything.

Emperor Tianqi was indeed a little weak, so he couldn't help but cough after scolding him.

Emperor Aoki sighed again: "Why don't you make a sound?"

Wei Zhongxian held it in for a while before saying, "Your Majesty is wise."

Emperor Aoki stared at him: "..."

After waiting for more than half an hour, Tian Ergeng finally returned. This time he led Zhou Zhenggang here.

But Emperor Tianqi didn't like Zhou Zhenggang, so he put on a cold face and said, "Have you brought all the imperial offenders?"

Zhou Zhenggang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you are all here."

"Bring it up one by one." Emperor Aoki sat down.

The first person to be taken in was Wei Shichun's eldest son Wei Jiasheng.

Wei Jiasheng was wearing prison clothes and shackles all over his body. He was in his twenties, but at this time he was unkempt and drooping his head, looking trembling and as if he was timid, so he didn't dare to raise his head.

After entering the hall, he knelt down amid the clanging sound of shackles: "Thousand deaths... Thousand deaths... I am guilty... I am guilty..."

Zhang Jingyi sat aside and looked at Wei Jiasheng. Seeing that he was like this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Jiasheng with great disgust and said, "Who are you?"

"Wei Jiasheng."

"Who is Wei Shichun you?"

Wei Jiasheng seemed to be distracted and said numbly: "It's my father."

"Your father... colluded with the Jiannu people, right?"

"yes."

"How did you collude?"

"Collaborate with merchants...sell their gunpowder, weapons, and salt."

"Where does gunpowder come from?"

"Secretly transported out of the workshop."

"Does your father still want to poison me?"

Wei Jiasheng actually answered like a stream of answers. He lowered his head and shook his head... It seemed that his spirit was broken, but it seemed like a conditioned reflex. Emperor Tianqi almost asked him something, and he could immediately answer: "Yes."

"Why do you need to kill poison?"

"I'm afraid of the crime... I'm afraid that Your Majesty will find affair with Jiannu, so I've tried every means to kill the emperor... Only in this way can I not be noticed..."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help but say angrily: "I am waiting for you all the time, why are you so crazy?"

Wei Jiasheng answered somehow, but he just cried and his shriveled lips stuttered: "Stop hitting, stop hitting, I will do everything, I will do everything, please let me die."

When Emperor Tianqi saw that he was incoherent, he said tiredly: "Take it down."

Then, the Wei family's housekeeper, accountant, etc. were all brought up.

Their answers are similar.

Emperor Tianqi immediately said, "Where is Wei Shichun?"

Not long after, several eunuchs carried a man in. The man was covered in bruises and seemed to be a little worse than the others.

Emperor Tianqi widened his eyes and angrily scolded: "Wei Shichun!"

Wei Shichun had no reaction.

Emperor Tianqi said, "If you are just greedy, I will give you a chance to die for the merits of your ancestors, but you will kill me. Your conscience will be eaten by the dog?"

Now, Wei Shichun finally reacted, but he just nodded numbly: "Ten Thousand Deaths...Ten Thousand Deaths..."

Emperor Aoki was particularly excited at this time and said furiously: "Do you know how to die?"

Emperor Tianqi said, grabbed the confessions and shouted: "What else have you done? Come, tell me one by one..."

…………

Outside a Gong Mansion Mansion outside the Bell and Drum Tower.

At this time, Deng Jian was riding a horse and hurried here with a team of people.

As soon as Deng Jian and others appeared, the spies who had been ambushed nearby surrounded them.

Deng Jian was dismissed, and hundreds of people had gathered together, and everyone pressed the hilt of the knife around their waists, making them full of murderous intent.

Deng Jian then walked to the front of the gate, and behind him a cavalry slammed the door.
