Chapter 504 Old 5, are you sure the evidence is true?
Seeing that Lan Shurong was still quibbling at this point, Jiang Dichen raised his whip and slapped her in the face, saying to her with a cold face, "It seems that you won't understand what I say unless I teach you a lesson."
After he finished speaking, he raised the whip again and hit Lan Shurong hard.
Lan Shurong screamed in agony from being beaten. Finally, she couldn't help it and confessed to Jiang Dichen, "Prince, please forgive me. I was wrong."
Jiang Dichen looked at her and asked coldly, "What did you do wrong?"
Lan Shurong said, "I shouldn't have given Shen Ruolan's patients laxatives to ruin her reputation."
After hearing what Lan Shurong said, Yan Mo yelled at her: "That's clearly arsenic, not a laxative."
This woman would be fine if she didn't do anything, but once she did, not only would she destroy someone's reputation, she would also make it so that they would never be able to recover. She is extremely vicious!
After hearing what Yan Mo said, Lan Shurong looked at him in shock and retorted, "How is that possible? I clearly bought laxatives."
Seeing that the woman refused to admit it, Jiang Dichen ordered his subordinates, "Yan Mo, beat her hard until she reveals who is behind it."
"Yes, master." After Yan Mo finished speaking, he took out his whip and started beating Lan Shurong again.
While begging for mercy from Jiang Dichen, Lan Shurong said to Song'er, "Song'er, tell everyone quickly that what I asked you to buy was laxatives!"
Song'er shook her head at her master and said with tears in her eyes, "Master, I'm sorry. I bought arsenic because one of my sisters said that no matter what the final outcome of doing such a thing is, you will die. It's better to buy some medicine with better efficacy, so that I won't lose anything even if I die."
Song'er's words made Lan Shurong forget to react for a moment. She asked why Jiang Dichen was so angry. It turned out that she had touched his bottom line.
Lan Shurong came back to her senses. She looked at Jiang Dichen with fear on her face and said, "Your Highness, you heard it yourself. I didn't ask anyone to buy the medicine. That bitch bought it herself. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
Just when Jiang Dichen wanted to continue asking something, Xuantian suddenly came to Jiang Dichen's ear and whispered.
After Jiang Dichen heard what his subordinate said, he suddenly asked him with a sullen face: "Where is he now?"
Xuantian said: "My Lord, when I came here, he was still in Zuifeng Tower."
When Jiang Dichen heard that Jiang Qing was still in Zuifeng Tower, he immediately stood up and instructed Yan Mo, "Yan Mo, take the master and servant back first, and I will interrogate them personally later."
"Yes, master." Yan Mo replied.
Jiang Dichen arranged Lan Shurong's affairs and followed Xuantian.
Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Dichen came to Zuifeng Tower where Jiang Qing was, but they were still a step too late. When they arrived, Jiang Qing had already secretly executed five people and left.
Jiang Dichen looked at the dead bodies on the ground and ordered his subordinates with a gloomy face: "Carry these five people out and let the victims' families see if anyone recognizes them."
"Yes, master." Xuantian replied.
Jiang Dichen once again instructed his other subordinates: "Come here, check for me immediately, what do these people usually do?"
"Yes, master." After several guards finished speaking, they quickly started to search Zuifeng Tower.
However, Zuifeng Tower had not found anything good yet. Jingyun, who was at the front, hurried back and reported to his master: "Master, I have found out that the medicine was indeed bought by Lan Shurong's maid, but the idea of buying arsenic was suggested by a young maid placed by Empress Wu. In addition, Song'er only hired ten people to poison the place, but the number of people who actually poisoned the place at the same time had reached more than sixty. This is why so many people died at the same time."
When Jiang Dichen heard that it was related to Empress Wu, he clenched his hands into fists and said with a gloomy face: "You are so good, Empress Wu. I wanted to let you live a few more years. Since you want to die so much, I have no choice but to fulfill your wish in advance."
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he ordered his subordinates: "Come here, let's go and capture the witness with me."
"Yes, master." A group of guards responded loudly.
Jiang Dichen walked to the gate of Zuifenglou and saw the owner of Zuifenglou, trembling as he came out to see him off. He suddenly stopped and warned him coldly, "If I don't get the correct and useful information before dark, there's no need for you to keep Zuifenglou open."
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he left without looking back.
The owner of Zuifenglou stayed behind, nodded and bowed to his back, saying, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, we will cooperate with your investigation."
Du Fang, who was in the dark, saw this. He looked at his master and asked worriedly, "Master, King Han seems to know. What should we do next?"
It would be troublesome if Jiang Dichen used this as an excuse to deal with his master.
Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Dichen's back in silence for a moment, then frowned and said to his subordinates, "For now, we can only take it one step at a time."
After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Pass the order down to deal with the dark chess matter. Let everyone pause for a while. Otherwise, it will be bad if Jiang Dichen sees us."
"Yes," Du Fang replied.
However, Jiang Qing's order came a step too late, as Jiang Dichen had already found his people and other hidden chess pieces.
In order to make Shen Ruolan feel at ease as soon as possible, Jiang Dichen worked almost from day to night, and then from night to dawn without any rest.
At the next morning court session, Jiang Dichen finally found all the evidence and reported it to his father in front of many ministers: "Father, these are the evidences that I have worked tirelessly to find. I hope you can give Ruolan an explanation as soon as possible and give an explanation to the innocent people."
When the emperor heard that his son had found all the evidence, he was surprised at first and said to Eunuch Li beside him: "Eunuch Li, go and bring the things here for me to see."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he came to Jiang Dichen, took the memorial, handed it to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
The emperor took the memorial and read it carefully. When he saw the handwriting of the empress and the prince, his face instantly turned sour.
The emperor put the things down, raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Dichen and asked, "Old Fifth, are you sure this evidence is true?"
Jiang Dichen saw that his father actually doubted him, which made him look unhappy instantly. He looked at him expressionlessly and said, "In your father's eyes, do I have so much free time? I stayed up all day and all night just to find an excuse to accuse others?"
The emperor was choked by his son's question. He paused, stared at him and said, "Why, I'm worried there's a misunderstanding, so I can't even ask?"
Jiang Dichen said: "Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, why don't we just let everyone see it?"
When the emperor heard that his son wanted to show it to everyone, he quickly refused and said, "Okay, I know about this matter, and I will give you a satisfactory answer later."
The emperor did not want anyone to know that his sons were killing each other.
Because the princes are not on good terms, it is easy for ambitious people to take advantage of the situation.
