After the rebirth, the concubine, she went crazy

Chapter 49 Case Closing
"You... why are you here?" Shen Yuzhi looked at Xiao Dingshan, the surprise on his face was still there, and he couldn't think of any connection between this case and Xiao Dingshan.

Regardless of the astonishment on everyone's faces, Xiao Dingshan glanced around, his eyes resting on Yan Yichen's face for a while, then the smile on his face disappeared, and he said expressionlessly: "I killed people, and I feel ashamed." , surrender yourself."

Everyone present knew Xiao Dingshan's temperament, he was greedy for money, lustful, timid and timid. Why on earth would such a life-hungry person be willing to take the initiative to be this scapegoat?

"Lord Xiao, if you are really the murderer of Sun Shilang, what is your purpose?" Gu Hengyu looked at Xiao Dingshan and asked.

Xiao Dingshan didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were gloomy, and he said: "I cooperated with Sun Shilang to secretly do many things to mutilate girls, thinking that I could hide it from the world, but who knows, I was still found out by you."

As he said that, he looked at Aunt Lian, pointed at her and said, "I sent her to Sun Shilang's residence. I knew that she helped outsiders to expose our affairs. I arrested her early in the morning. The servant told me everything about me, so he thought of a way to rob him and kill him, and then threw his body at the gate of Dali Temple."

Listening to Xiao Dingshan's explanation, there is generally nothing wrong with it, but when I think about it carefully, I didn't explain all the key points.
"Why do you know that Sun Shilang is in Dali Temple? Why did Aunt Lian appear in the Third Prince's Mansion today? Since we haven't found you yet, why are you standing here and turning yourself in now? Lord Xiao, as far as I know, can you Not this kind of person." Gu Hengyu looked at Xiao Dingshan's face with inquiring eyes, he was sure that Xiao Dingshan was definitely not the person behind Sun Shilang.

The case of Sun Shilang had already involved a prince before Xiao Dingshan surrendered himself, and Xiao Dingshan belonged to the fifth prince, Xiao Yiran, and even the evidence that Gu Hengyu presented to the emperor today showed that he was in contact with the fifth prince and gave the fifth prince gold. Yintiandi's evidence letter, no matter whether Xiao Dingshan is the person behind it or not, the fifth prince is destined to be involved.

Xiao Dingshan seemed to have prepared the answers to these questions a long time ago, and said, "Naturally there is my eyeliner in the palace. Even if I don't know, someone will tell me where Sun Shilang is really imprisoned, and why Aunt Lian appeared in the palace. I don't know about the Third Prince's Mansion, I sent her to the Fifth Prince's Mansion after I caught her, and now I am standing here and turning myself in, because of these things, I feel so guilty, I can't live anymore because of the guilt."

During the words, he clearly said that he was the fifth prince's person, and he also got the help of the fifth prince in these matters. Even Aunt Lian's appearance in the third prince's mansion was probably framed by the fifth prince.

"Shut up! Why do you blame my fifth brother for what you did?" Yan Yichen suddenly said, with sullen and disbelief on his face, accusing Xiao Dingshan of slandering the fifth prince and trying to destroy the relationship between their brothers .

"Fifth brother? Third prince, you regard fifth prince as your younger brother, but privately fifth prince only thinks that you are born of a lowly servant girl in the palace, and you are not qualified to be a royal brother with him." Xiao Dingshan's words were full of disdain for Yan Yichen's identity , It seems to be an insult to Yan Yichen, but in fact it pushes the fifth prince on the blade of disrespecting his elders and disrespecting his brothers.

Yan Yichen's face was stained with sadness at this time, as if he felt heartache for these words.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xiao Dingshan and approached him, "Lord Xiao, you should think about it. If you surrender now, this case will be over. You will be convicted after death, but your wife, children and mother are still living in this world to replace you." If you atone for your crime, are you really leaving him alone?"

After Xiao Dingshan heard it, a crack appeared on his expressionless face since he came in, and an unbearable look flashed across his face.

Upon seeing this, Gu Hengyu continued: "If you tell the truth now, you can continue to be your minister of Dali Temple."

Hearing Gu Hengyu mention Dali Temple Minister, the expression on Xiao Dingshan's face changed a few times, he smiled wryly, then returned to the expression when he just came in, lowered his head and said: "Master Gu, don't need to say more, report to the emperor Condemned."

Yan Yichen walked towards Gu Hengyu at this time, and said: "Since the matter has been investigated and my innocence has been repaid, I will return home." The sadness just now still remained on his face.

"Well, I wasted the third prince's time today, and I hope the third prince will forgive me." Gu Hengyu nodded and said to Yan Yichen.

Yan Yichen nodded and left here as if he was heartbroken by Xiao Dingshan's words.

Aunt Lian is still appealing to Gu Hengyu and Shen Yuzhi, saying that this matter was not done by Xiao Dingshan, but Yan Yichen must have done it, but she can't produce evidence, so even if she sues the emperor, it can only be like this, maybe They will also be beaten up and down, and even their lives will be lost.

Before Gu Hengyu left, he took one last look at Xiao Dingshan. Xiao Dingshan still had the same expression, without a trace of emotion on his face, as if he was not afraid of death.

After leaving the Ministry of Punishment, Shen Yuzhi asked, "How do we go about investigating this matter?"

"The matter has come to this, we can only report it truthfully and ask the emperor to rule." Gu Hengyu replied to Shen Yuzhi.

This matter involved two princes in just half a day, no matter what he thinks the truth is, he can't tell it, otherwise he might become a prince in the eyes of the emperor, which is a big taboo.

Gu Hengyu understood that the reason why the emperor favored him was because he gave the Gu family face and thought that he could make contributions to the court, but if he showed a little favoritism towards the princes, his talent and family background would become a sharp edge. on the head.

Shen Yuzhi also knew that although the emperor of this dynasty is considered a wise emperor, he would never ask for instructions when encountering matters related to the party's fight for the heir, so he sighed and said to Gu Hengyu: "That's fine, it's peaceful, not to mention that Xiao Dingshan has committed so many crimes. Sun Shilang is involved with him again, it is absolutely impossible to clean up."

Gu Hengyu was noncommittal.

Xie Chen knew that this happened on the second night, when the Xie family had dinner together, Prime Minister Xie mentioned it there, saying that there was a big change in the officials in the court today, and Gu Hengyu became a Dali temple. Qing.

Xie Chen knew that the emperor would use the matter of Minister Sun as a stepping stone for Gu Hengyu to become an official. Now that the decree has been issued, the matter of Minister Sun must be resolved.

Xie Chen is familiar with Gu Hengyu, so it's not surprising that he asked, "Father, did the original Minister of Dali Temple take the position of Minister Sun?"

Now that Gu Hengyu has become the Minister of Dali Temple, the original Minister of Dali Temple has naturally been transferred, and now the only one who has a vacancy in the court is the Ministry of Rites.

Prime Minister Xie shook his head, thinking that it was because of Gu Hengyu that Xie Chen cared about the affairs of the court, and adding that he felt a little guilty for treating her favorably because of Xie Wan the past two days, so he made it clear: "No, the original Dali Temple Qing Xiao Dingshan was the murderer of Sun Shilang, and now he has turned himself in and convicted. Naturally, he cannot take the position of Minister of Rites. The emperor transferred the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple to take this position, but you are familiar with the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple. It's Shen Yuzhi."

In the previous life, Shen Yuzhi was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Although Gu Hengyu had never entered the court, he must have contributed to it.Now that Gu Hengyu is willing to help her, it is normal for her to sit as the minister of Dali Temple. Xie Chen is surprised at this time that the case of Sun Shilang was obviously done by Yan Yichen, so how could he have a connection with Xiao Dingshan? Xiao Dingshan is not the fifth prince. person?
Prime Minister Xie saw that Xie Chen was a little surprised when he heard it, and forgot to reply, thinking that he was surprised that Shen Yuzhi took the position of Shaoqing in Dali Temple. After all, he was not surprised when he heard it today, so he didn't say anything more.
