Great Ye Empress

Chapter 256 Deception
"Are you crazy?" The eldest prince stared at his staff with wide eyes, "That's the imperial censor! The royal father is a person who wants to be respected... Even if he wants to protect this son of His Highness, he cannot get the Ming Dynasty. Let’s talk about it! Otherwise, what is the authority of the emperor in front of his ministers? Does he consider the law of the country a child’s play? Even if the father and the emperor maintains my highness, then my highness will not be in the position!”

"It's a slip of the tongue." The staff hurriedly said.

The eldest prince, like the noble concubine, knows the emperor very well...

Xue Zhi left a confession book and took the guilt and committed suicide, which gave his father a high-sounding reason to let the censors stop the case from Xue Zhi.

But now if the clear evidence is placed in front of the father, his father will never fall into the stigma of covering up the prince for his son...

The emperor is high above the ground and holds the authority, but he is also afraid and afraid, afraid of the historian's pen, afraid of the verbal punishment in a hundred years.

And he, if he has such a big handle and is held in the hands of the censor station, how can he be the prince in the future?
What a foolish trick!
At this point, the eldest prince felt as if he had been forced into the Jedi.

"That Xue Shilang, don't be too polite... Even if you use the means, tonight we must find out where Xue Zhi put the ledger!" The eldest prince gritted his teeth and showed a ruthless expression, "Anyway, everyone outside thinks Xue Shilang is dead. Now, as long as something can be found out, it doesn't matter if you get killed!"

"Yes!" the staff responded.

The eldest prince glanced at the three or four aides in the house, and said coldly, "After raising you all for so many years, when you really want to use it, none of them will come in handy!"

The staff members sighed, who knew that Xie Yunchu came to the door yesterday and said that he was going to search the mansion. It was not only a trick... but also a trick!

In the final analysis, it was Xue Zhi's backhand that kept them in a passive position.

"His Royal Highness!" One of the staff said, "Yushi Niu's temperament is upright, and I already know that it can't be bought. Anyway, we have already bought the other master books of the Censor Taizhong, and the third prince also has someone in the Censor Terrace. If our People didn't stop the person who sent Xue Zhi's account book to the Censor Desk, and let the Censor Desk get the account book, then... try to destroy the account book, so I can only do my best!"

The First Prince nodded...

"His Royal Highness, these days, we have checked Xue Shangshu's direct brother and Xue Shangshu's own nephew! Xue Shilang has confessed many people who are close to Xue Zhi. Do you think...is there no such ledger at all, but it was just fabricated by Xue Zhi to coerce His Highness to keep the Xue family?"

Xu Shi couldn't stand being told by the eldest prince that it was useless, and the staff who couldn't sit still began to think of a way in a hurry.

After all, when they invested in the eldest prince, they put their whole life on the eldest prince.

The eldest prince ascended the throne, and they ascended to heaven.

If the eldest prince could not ascend the throne, they would lose their whole lives, and the third prince would definitely not use them when they became emperors.

When the First Prince heard this, his frown slightly stretched...

"Yes, so far we haven't been able to find anything from Xue Shilang. Xue Shilang is the only seed of Xue Shangshu. If even Xue Shilang doesn't know about it... maybe it doesn't exist at all!"

"It's not unreasonable." The eldest prince rubbed the armrest of the chair, "Let's do it! Just tell Xue Shilang... His mother and sister are both dead, and the Censor Station said he was also dead. He really has a backer... He had better confess it. For his father's sake, His Highness will definitely protect his prosperity and wealth for the rest of his life. If he still kills him and refuses to admit it, then he can only send their family to reunite. , and save... my Highness is always worried that he will be discovered!"

"Yes!" the staff responded.

Thinking that the ledger might not exist at all, and that it was Xue Zhi used to coerce him, the eldest prince felt a little better.

The eldest prince has indeed gained a lot of benefits from Xue Zhi over the years.

The eldest prince really hoped that this was just Xue Zhi's trickery, and the false alarm would be over.

"Your Highness, I have a plan!"

Mr. Lu, a staff member under the eldest prince who did not like to talk on weekdays, suddenly spoke up.

The eldest prince frowned: "Come and listen!"

"Since what Xue Zhi used to coerce His Highness was a ledger, why don't we... let us imitate Xue Zhi's handwriting, make a few more ledger books, and pull all the princes into the water!" Mr. Lu said slowly, "So, even if the account book that Xue Zhi said is really there, it will be difficult to tell whether the account book is true or not.

When the first prince heard this idea, he really cheered up.

"Yes, we can throw out the ledger first..." said one of the staff members.

"No..." Mr. Lu shook his head, "If Xue Zhi's so-called ledger is only used to deceive His Highness to keep Xue's family, we have already joined forces with the Third Highness, so don't make extra troubles, anyway, the Censor Desk can't find anything. !"

Mr. Lu looked at the eldest prince: "If Xue Zhi's account book really exists, we will wait for the account book to be handed over to the censor's desk, and then send the account book to the censor's desk. In this way, the censor's desk faces three or four account books, Several princes were dragged into the water, and His Highness begged to His Majesty again. It was so obvious that several princes were framed and framed. His Majesty asked the Censor Desk to hand over all the ledger books, and found an obedient official to check the handwriting, saying that the ledger books were all forged. , it’s better to cover up for His Highness, but also to not make His Majesty lose face!”

"Mr. Lu really is someone who can help!" The eldest prince was instantly happy.

·
The news that Xue Shilang, Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue were dead had not been reported for three days.

Mrs. Xue and Miss Xue, who were secretly transferred and detained, kept clamoring to see Censor Niu, but Censor Niu did not go.

Censor Niu felt a little unsure in his heart...

On the day that Xie Yunchu brought the fifth prince to search the first prince's mansion, the third prince brought his own soldiers to obstruct it, and Yushi Niu also understood that the first prince and the third prince had reached a certain agreement to protect Shen Yan, which made Xue Zhi confess his guilt.

He also did not doubt that Xue Zhi had threatened the eldest prince before his death.

But Censor Niu was worried that Xue Zhi's so-called backhand before his death... was just a trick to deceive the eldest prince.

In the afternoon of that day, Xue's house search had been completed.

Except that after Xue Zhi confessed his guilt, the amount of money embezzled was not very different, Xue's house was clean and there were no account books left.

Copying Xue Zhi's house is only a fraction of the amount of embezzlement...

Xie Yunchu was calm, and took the officials from the Censor's Office to read the confession letter left by Xue Zhi and the account book of the accountant of Xue's house.
