Chapter 475 Tell
At that time, everyone's attention was on the jade pendant itself.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor placed the seventh prince under house arrest, the prince's party rebelled, Huang Qihuan was arrested, and then only three days later, an epidemic broke out in Zhending.
Everything was in a panic and impatience.
Now calm down and look at these files. The appearance of this jade pendant is the biggest loophole.
Who made the seventh prince agree to send such a jade pendant to Zhou Huaishan as an apology!
Isn't it obvious that it was for Zhou Huaishan to see!
Or did the other party not know at all that Zhou Huaishan and others knew the meaning behind this jade pendant!
After closing the file, Shen Li stood up and walked towards the cell where Hongyu was imprisoned.
The previous interrogation of Hongyu was all about the purpose of their visit this time.
Hongyu was the guard of the seventh prince. There were some things that he knew more than those court officials.
The last time he was tortured, Hongyu had been tortured. The seventh prince and his people were indeed unaware of the poisoning by the spies of Nanzhao.
After all, not everyone in Nanzhao is so crazy that they would treat human life as a joke.
Shen Li pushed the door open and came in. Hongyu was sitting with his head buried in his knees. He was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head and saw Shen Li. His eyes turned red. "Brother Li, you finally agreed to see me."
Shen Li frowned.
"Speak properly. I have something to ask you."
Hongyu wiped the corner of her eyes, "Brother Li, you ask."
Shen Li was too lazy to correct his words. "The jade pendant you used to apologize to Zhou Huaishan was a jade pendant from the royal family of your Nanzhao Kingdom. Why did you use such a jade pendant to apologize?"
Hongyu didn't expect Shen Li to ask this. He thought Shen Li was still going to ask about the purpose of their visit.
Sniffing, Hongyu said pitifully: "Brother Li, the jade pendant was given to Lord Zhao by the Seventh Prince."
"Why did the Seventh Prince use that jade pendant? It was just to apologize to Zhou Huaishan. He didn't need the jade pendant of the royal family of Nanzhao Kingdom!"
Hongyu said: "That's true, but at that time, the Seventh Prince had only this thing worth buying.
Originally, when we came, we brought a good jade pendant. The Seventh Prince originally planned to give the jade pendant to Princess Minghe.
But when we set out, I don't know why we made a mistake and actually put this jade pendant in.
At that time, the Seventh Prince only gave the box to Lord Zhao and didn't open it for inspection.
Lord Zhao only found out when he gave the jade pendant to Zhou Huaishan at the Imperial College.
But it was already that time, so it was hard to say anything."
Shen Li's eyebrows moved.
Was it a mistake, or someone deliberately changed it.
"You are the envoys from Nanzhao, and you prepared so carelessly. You said that this was originally a gift from the Seventh Prince to Princess Minghe. Why? You prepared it so casually, and didn't even check whether it was installed correctly?"
Hongyu smiled bitterly, "Brother Li is wronged. Our prince checked the day before he left. This jade pendant was kept by himself and was not put together with other gifts."
The Seventh Prince kept his own things, but they were replaced.
The truth can only be asked to the Seventh Prince.
There was nothing more to ask, Shen Li turned around and left. Hongyu was anxious and hurriedly said, "Brother Li, do you really not remember me?"
Shen Li turned his head to look at him, "I saved you once."
Hongyu lowered her eyes, with shyness in her eyes, "Brother Li, I."
Shen Li pursed his lips and exhaled, "You may have some misunderstandings about me. I don't like men! There is no other past between us except that I once saved your life. Calm down, your death sentence will be sentenced in a few days."
After that, Shen Li pushed the door and left.
Hongyu was left standing there.
Ah?
Don't like men?
Then why did you take Qingjun Xiaoshou to Hongxiufang!
What's the point of my appearance!
If you don't like men, why do I deserve a name!
If I don't have the next step, why don't you just call me the guard of the seventh prince of Nanzhao!
Ah? !
Am I out of loneliness!
Is it because my face was disfigured by the fire? !
Shen Li came out of the shadow and originally planned to go straight to the palace to find the seventh prince. Although it was impossible to interrogate the seventh prince, he might be able to get something out of him by asking questions.
Gao Li just finished the interrogation and gave Shen Li a stack of confessions.
"Damn, it's so dirty, all kinds of despicable means can be used! I think it was the grandson of Prince Ping who poisoned this time!"
The person sent by Jingzhao Yin was Prince Ping's follower. Usually he was only responsible for serving tea and water, and had no resistance. He confessed before the shadow's torture instruments were finished.
However, he knew too little, and all he could confess, except for the slander of Shen Li under the instruction of King Ping, was irrelevant.
Shen Li took the confession, flipped through it, and left the shadow.
Just as he went out, he walked across from Gu Dafei, the shopkeeper of Zhenpinxuan.
"You came to me." Shen Li paused, looked up and down at Gu Dafei, and said with certainty.
Gu Dafei rubbed his hands, still with an indecisive look on his face.
"You are right to come to me." After a pause, Shen Li looked at Gu Dafei, carefully observing his expression, "He is in Nanzhao Kingdom."
Gu Dafei looked at Shen Li in astonishment, "How did you know?"
Shen Li smiled.
The bet was right.
"The Nanzhao Kingdom poisoned our dynasty to create a plague. Are you afraid that he will really commit treason, so you come to me?"
Shen Li speculated and spoke slowly, his tone was very slow, but every word was affirmative.
Gu Dafei swallowed his saliva.
"I didn't send him to Nanzhao on purpose. I had no choice at that time.
He was already ten years old at that time.
He would be easily discovered here, so I could only send him away.
I originally wanted to send him to Jiangnan, but he insisted on going to Nanzhao.
Also, you said one thing wrong. I'm not worried that he would commit treason. He definitely wouldn't. People from Rongyang Marquis's Mansion wouldn't do such a thing!
He went to Nanzhao for revenge!"
Shen Li raised his eyebrows, "Does he know who his enemy is?"
"He heard the words of the massacrer at that time, in the Nanzhao language."
"At that time, he was killed in front of the ancestral hall of Rongyang Marquis's Mansion."
"It was one of his servants."
The past was too tragic, and no matter who mentioned it, it was inevitable to choke up.
Gu Dafei turned his head away and took a deep breath, "I'm here to tell you, I think maybe if you find him, you can work together, it will be better."
"Why didn't you find me before?"
"I didn't want to disrupt his life, but I didn't expect Nanzhao to be so mean! I'm afraid he won't live well there, I'm afraid he'll be alone, I'm afraid he'll be recognized, I'm afraid."
Gu Dafei's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he trembled and choked when he spoke.
"The Nanzhao Kingdom did something like poisoning and plague, he must be furious. I can even feel the anger in his heart. I'm afraid he can't control himself and expose himself."
Shen Li looked at Gu Dafei with a painful face, "He is an official in the court of Nanzhao?"
