When Xie Zichen came to the East Palace, the prince was already spinning around in a hurry. As soon as Xie Zichen came to the door, he saw the prince raising his head and said excitedly: "You can count Zichen, let alone wait!"

Xie Zichen stepped forward to salute, and said to the prince: "I have seen your Royal Highness."

The prince Xu helped Xie Zichen to come, and he was impatient and eager in his words: "You don't need these humility, have you heard about Xia Sanniang?"

Xie Zichen stood up, his eyes moved, and he nodded to make it clear.The prince hurriedly said, "Zichen feels that this Xia Sanniang incident is true or false?"

"How can I know about this kind of thing?" Xie Zichen raised his eyes to the prince, and said seriously: "No matter whether it is true or not, Xia Sanniang will not be able to defeat Zhang Yushi. Your Royal Highness does not need to pay too much attention to it, just let him."

Hearing this, the prince was stunned for a while, and then raised his voice: "Use power for personal gain and force a woman to commit suicide. Isn't this enough for Zhang Huaisheng to ask?!"

Xie Zichen didn't speak, and looked at the prince quietly. The prince calmed down when he saw his cool eyes, and then analyzed: "Yes, I don't know if this Xia Sanniang is true or not. Although Zhang Huaisheng is a person. He’s the third brother, but he is indeed a man of noble character, otherwise the lonely wouldn’t be able to guard him for so many years and he would not be able to hold the handle..."

As the prince said, he got up a bit, and the two sat down together. Xie Zichen said calmly, "His Royal Highness, don't despair, maybe what Xia Sanniang said is true? But I don't know if she has any evidence..."

"No." The prince was a little discouraged, and sighed: "Just as she was taken out of Shuntian Mansion in the afternoon, Gu was asked to ask her. She said that she was desperate and wanted to find evidence for her. She must have been instigated by someone, but I don’t know who has knotted such a big beam with Zhang Yushi..."

Xie Zichen frowned and said with some regret: "Then we can only see if Xia Sanniang's case is transferred to the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department can find out what it is."

"Ministry of Criminal Justice?" The prince sneered: "There are three brothers up and down, let alone there is no evidence, even if there is evidence, it will be lost!"

Hearing what the prince said, Xie Zichen showed a surprised expression. After a while, he sighed slightly: "It seems that this time I am afraid that Zhang Yushi will not be able to defeat Zhang Yushi. When the truth is announced, his character will be told in the future. I'm afraid it will be more difficult."

The prince did not speak, and there was an anxious look in his eyes.

To the prince, Zhang Yushi had already become a sharp knife at his feet, nailing the prince's steps in a bloody way. The emperor's impression of the prince was so bad that Zhang Yushi contributed.As for the recent Xucheng water conservancy incident, even though it was a case involving a local official, Zhang Yushi kept insinuating the relationship between the prince and the officials in Jingzhou, which made the emperor not much to see the prince in recent days.

Now that there is an opportunity to bring down Zhang Yushi, the prince was already excited in his heart. He planned to use this opportunity to put Zhang Yushi to death, but now it seems hopeless.

But once Xia Sanniang's incident was confirmed to be false, Zhang Yushi would raise the tide and sue him again, not to mention whether he was stained or not. Even if it was true, everyone would first think he was wronged.

Xie Zichen was right. This was the only chance to bring down Zhang Huaisheng.

The prince thought desperately, and suddenly remembered a case that Xie Zichen had only talked with him yesterday. A commoner sued a local rich man for taking his daughter, but there was no evidence. So he simply left traces of the rich man killing him and a blood book, and then committed suicide. Disguised as the illusion of being killed.So the local county magistrate took the clues left by the people and inferred that it was the rich man who killed him and brought the rich man to justice.

Thinking of this case, the prince moved his mind and raised his head: "Then we will kill Xia Sanniang directly?!"

"What does your Highness mean?" Xie Zichen frowned. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about the idea, and he hurriedly said: "I will let someone pretending to be Zhang Yushi to kill Xia Sanniang tonight, pretending to be Zhang Yushi to kill. Then, Ming Ri Gu participated in Zhang Yushi’s murder in the court hall. In this way, as long as Zhang Huaisheng’s case of killing Xia Sanniang is implemented, Zhang Huaisheng will admit that Xia Sanniang’s words are true. After spreading the matter everywhere, now only Zhang Huaisheng has the motive to kill Xia Sanniang. Those foolish people don’t need evidence. As long as Xia Sanniang dies, they will feel that Zhang Huaisheng was killed by a guilty conscience. It is the people’s desire that Zhang Huaisheng will die if he does not die. What does this Ji Zichen think?"

"No!" Xie Zichen resolutely denied the prince's words, and said seriously: "Have the prince ever thought about it, what if you are caught by the three princes?"

"If someone finds out that Xia Sanniang was killed by the prince, the Third Highness will let someone add some extra energy and say, Xia Sanniang was originally fake, and you didn't intend to let Xia Sanniang really go to court, but you intend to be like Xia Sanniang. After suing Zhang Yushi, he will be killed, and Zhang Yushi will be framed. What shall you do when facing such a difficult situation?"

The prince was stunned by Xie Zichen’s question. After a while, he was a little unbelievable: "This... how is this possible? Gu has no relationship with this Xia Sanniang. From the outside, everyone feels that Gu must protect Xia well. Sanniang, let Xia Sanniang make sure that Zhang Huaisheng is the right person. How could he think that he would kill people alone?"

"I can't think of a lonely murderer, so naturally I can't suspect a lonely body. When we kill people, we deal with it cleanly. No matter how they investigate, they shouldn't find the lonely body!"

The more the prince talked, the more confident he was, and he highlighted his thoughts and disciples: "Killing Xia Sanniang is fast. Now everyone probably hasn't reacted to it. There are a group of spies on the outskirts of the city, and they are directly transferred back to kill Xia Sanniang. Unexpectedly, taking advantage of it, the lone was not caught at the time. When the lonely person is finished, who can find it?"

"His Royal Highness!" Xie Zichen raised his voice: "This is too radical to do things like this. This is the dispute between Zhang Huairen and Xia Sanniang. We don't need to pay too much attention to it. If we want to pay attention, we should also spare Xia Sanniang!"

"But Xia Sanniang is a fake!" The prince exclaimed angrily: "She has no evidence at all, and the Criminal Ministry is all from the third brother. There is no problem with the Criminal Ministry, and it is impossible to cross the Criminal Ministry to try the case without proper reason. Once there is a case where the injustice has been cleared after being accused, and Zhang Huaisheng will be sue in the future, everyone will think that he is framed, you understand!"

"That..." Xie Zichen sighed: "Just let Zhang Huaisheng go..."

"No!" The prince resolutely refused: "You probably don't understand, Zichen, Zhang Huaisheng is here, and one day, the lonely will die in his hands."

At this point, there is no point in going on.Xie Zichen frowned and stood up and said, "Since the prince insists on doing it, Zichen will not stop him. But this time, Zichen is unwilling to participate."

After speaking, Xie Zichen flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out decisively.The prince exclaimed angrily: "Xie Zichen, stop for the lone!"

Xie Zichen stopped and listened to the prince: "If you don't let Gu do this, do you have a better way to bring down Zhang Huaisheng?!"

"No." Xie Zichen replied decisively: "I would rather defeat Zhang Huaisheng than take such a risk."

"You rat!" the prince yelled angrily: "It's a waste of what I have placed on you!"

"Farewell." Xie Zichen did not answer, and left directly.The prince looked at his back, his anger grew more and more, and after he threw the table over, he said angrily: "He looks down on loneliness!"

Li Liang, the attendant on the side, stepped forward, helped the prince to sit down, and said, "Xie Zichen, I just think I am smart. Who do you like? The meaning of your highness is naturally the best."

"Not so," the prince eased a lot, and sighed: "Gu just feels that when people all over the world think that Gu is going to protect Xia Sanniang, and kill Xia Sanniang, then who would suspect Gu? ?"

"His Royal Highness said," Li Liang rubbed his shoulders to the prince: "The fourth son of Xie was worried too much. Where is the heroic spirit of His Highness? How can you achieve great things if you look forward to everything? Then Sima Yi just wanted to. Too much, fearful of one's head and tail, is this just the empty city plan? According to the slave, this Xie Zichen is a bastard after all, which is too useless."

"You are right." The prince sighed, rather regretful: "After all, he is a bastard."

As he said, the prince patted Li Liang's hand and said, "Go find a spy placed in the other palace in the East Palace, and tell him to go out and join the Jiazi team on the outskirts of the city, and let the Jiazi team pretend to be Zhang Yushi tonight. Killing Xia Sanniang must be done cleanly. As for Zhang Yushi's token..."

The prince pondered for a moment: "Wait a moment, let Wang Xi come."

Li Liang should come down, turn around and notify Wang Xi. Wang Xi rushed to the East Palace. After respecting the prince, he heard the prince talk about his plan and couldn't help frowning: "His hatred for Zhang Yushi has come to this. How far?"

"Axi doesn't know," the prince sighed: "How many times Zhang Huaisheng has participated in me. Other than that, the Xucheng water conservancy incident has caused half of Jingzhou to be lonely. Zhang Huaisheng is at the Imperial Palace and has difficulty sleeping and eating alone. Ann."

Wang Xi lowered her eyes and pondered seriously: "As your Highness said, there must be very few people who think of your Highness killing Xia Sanniang. If your Highness can handle it cleanly, this is of course a good thing..."

"What does Na Xi think?" The prince eagerly sought an answer. Wang Xi was silent for a second, and then said: "If the matter of Xia Sanniang is indeed false, or as your Highness said, Xia Sanniang has no iron proof, then this Things really can't bring down Zhang Yushi."

"But if His Royal Highness insists that Zhang Huaisheng must be removed, there are only two methods now. The first is that we forge evidence to Xia Sanniang and let her continue to sue."

"This is too difficult," the prince said decisively: "Don't say that our evidence is false, even if it is true, we must prevent collusion by people from the Criminal Department. Xia Sanniang is false, fifteen years ago. It’s too difficult for us to forge evidence, and it’s too easy to be exposed."

"So," Wang Xi smiled: "His Royal Highness's method is indeed the only way to kill Zhang Huaisheng."

"Everything is risky," Wang Xi opened his hand and folded the fan: "It depends on your Royal Highness that the risk is not worth it."

"If I want to do it, how do you think it is more appropriate to blame Zhang Yushi?"

"Zhang Yushi's family bought all the fabrics from Yunjinxiu Village. Mrs. Zhang is very fragrant. Recently, the fragrance at home is all citrus."

Wang Xi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Just kill Sanniang, and leave his son."

The prince nodded, and Wang Xi continued: "If you want to move fast, wait until Xia Sanniang is noticed everywhere, it will be more troublesome if you do it again."

With that said, Wang Xi raised his head and said seriously: "Just tonight."

When Prince Wang Xi sent someone out, Zhang Huaisheng sat on the upper seat of the Third Prince's Mansion and put down his tea bowl.

"This kind of thing, your Royal Highness thought that you would do it in Xia?" Zhang Huaisheng sneered: "Is Xia Xia such a beast?!"

Su Cheng did not speak, he smiled: "This king trusts Master Zhang, just wants to confirm it. Now adults and me are grasshoppers on the same line, this king is not a dirty thing. People. As far as this king is concerned, people can be useful as long as they are useful. As for other things, this king does not care and does not want to take care of it. Finally, I will ask Master Zhang again..."

"This official has never done it!" Zhang Huaisheng stood up abruptly with an angry face: "You two, you have to question the official like this just because of the words of a woman. Since you think so, why bother to ask pretentiously, no If you just let the official and this woman go to court to see who is right and wrong!"

"Master Zhang, don't worry, it's just that this king wants to do something, so I have to confirm it specially. Since it is not, that's it."

Su Cheng smiled, and after chatting with Zhang Huaisheng for a while, he sent Zhang Huaisheng away.

"His Royal Highness," Wang Guoliang, the attendant next to Su Cheng, was a little worried: "Do you think what Master Zhang said is true?"

"This king believes seven points." Su Cheng said indifferently, "If Zhang Huaisheng had not had a private enmity with the town government, he would certainly not help this king. The prince has investigated him for so many years, but he has not found any clues, so this person can be seen. It is indeed an egg without seams. As long as it has been made, no matter how clean it is, it should have a handle."

"But..." Su Cheng didn't say the rest, he was waiting for the last person.

After Zhang Huaisheng got into the carriage, he closed his eyes. After a long time, he rolled up the curtain and asked the attendants who were at least parallel next to him.

"You said Xia Sanniang has a son?"

"Yes." The attendant whispered: "Little I went to find out in the afternoon. This Xia Sanniang was sold several times along the way, and finally sold to Tianxiang Pavilion. When I came, I already brought a son."

"How old is it?"

"I heard it was twelve."

"What month was born?"

"This..." The attendant hesitated for a while, and immediately said, "Look again!"

Zhang Huaisheng nodded, but after a while, he rolled up the curtain again and called the attendant: "Hold on, no need to explore."

The attendant approached the car window and saw Zhang Huaisheng’s clear eyes pouring out of sadness, he said calmly: "Kill it."

Soon after Zhang Huaisheng left, Shuntian Mansion Yin hurried to the Third Prince's Mansion.At that time, Su Cheng was sitting and drinking tea.After Yin saluted in Shuntian Mansion, he heard the person above ask: "The case of Zhang Yushi..."

"Chen understands!" Shuntian Fu Yin said immediately: "His Royal Highness does not need to worry, then Xia Sanniang has no evidence."

Hearing this, Su Cheng was stunned for a while, showing a strange look: "You said, Xia Sanniang, there is no evidence?"

"Yes."

Shuntian Mansion Yin wiped his sweat: "She is also counting on the officials to find evidence for her!"

Su Cheng said nothing.

Wang Guoliang came forward and chatted with Fu Yin for a while, and then sent out Shun Tian Fu Yin with Su Cheng.Su Cheng raised his hand and said, "Show me Xia Sanniang's information again."

Wang Guoliang immediately returned to the study and took over Xia Sanniang's information.

The identity of Xia Sanniang is actually a bit tortuous. The information that can be found is from ten years ago. She was bought into a prostitution from the slave market and changed hands several times. She came to Tianxiang Pavilion five years ago. Until now.

She has a twelve-year-old son who has suffered from tuberculosis the year before last.

Looking at these materials, Su Cheng is almost certain.

"This Xia Sanniang, I'm afraid it is for her son to collect other people's money and come here desperately."

Wang Guoliang brought the tea to Su Cheng and whispered: "Master Zhang is here."

Su Cheng nodded, Zhang Sheng walked in, and after saluting respectfully, he knelt down in front of Su Cheng: "His Royal Highness summoned me, I don't know why?"

"Wang Yuan told me that his father found out that Xia Sanniang was instigated by someone to come and falsely accuse Zhang Yushi. He had a trick, that is, someone disguised as a prince, went to kill Xia Sanniang. Xia Sanniang died, the penalty department I opened the case and let the criminals find the prince's head, and then revealed from the death of Xia Sanniang that Xia Sanniang was instigated by someone, alluding to the prince. If this matter is really done by the prince," Su Chengyi Take a sip of tea: "That's naturally the best. If it wasn't for the prince, then at least he would be able to make a note of the prince among his father and courtiers."

"His Royal Highness can investigate this matter, is it true?"

"My name is Shuntian Fu Yin and Zhang Huaisheng both came to ask, and the most important thing is that Xia Sanniang has a 12-year-old son suffering from tuberculosis, and there is no evidence to sue Zhang Huaisheng."

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng understood.

If what happened to Xia Sanniang is true, why does she have no evidence?According to her, when she was pregnant with Liujia, at least her son could serve as evidence, but now she doesn't mention anything about her son. What is this not a guilty conscience?Now that she filed a complaint when her son was ill and there was no evidence, she must have come with a determination to die, and Jomo was only to keep her son.

Xia Sanniang was suspicious on this side, and Zhang Huaisheng was frank and frank, coupled with Zhang Huaisheng's consistent good reputation, the truth of this matter seemed to be known at a glance.

"I'm just worried. Wang Yuan is so happy, but actually quite dull. How could he have such a strategy..."

"Why do you think the king uses him?" Su Cheng chuckled, and Zhang Sheng was taken aback for a moment before listening to Su Cheng said: "He is not good, but he has his father. You think such news and strategies are really him. Can you figure it out?"

Hearing that, Zhang Sheng laughed.

"Wang Shangshu is also broken."

Su Cheng nodded and said indifferently: "Go and prepare. My people are in the palace. This business must be done clean and beautifully. Wang Yuan from the criminal department will find his father to prepare. You just have to kill Xia Sanniang. You can pretend to be Zhang Yushi to kill, and secretly leave the iron proof of the prince's murder."

"On the Yushitai side, this king will also be ready. When Xia Sanniang dies tomorrow, if the prince can't help but jump out, it is best to ask Zhang Huaisheng to investigate. If the prince does not jump out, I will let the Yushitai Disguised as a prince, he stood up and participated in Zhang Huaisheng’s killing of Xia Sanniang."

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice followed the procedure for a while, and after finding the Crown Prince Shun Teng, it spread the news that Xia Sanniang had framed Zhang Huaisheng. By the way, I got a list of Tianxiang Pavilion's entry and exit, and added Xie Zichen."

"Even if the prince doesn't recognize it," Su Cheng sneered: "This pot, this king wants him to betray."

"Then," Zhang Sheng hesitated: "What if the matter of Xia Sanniang is true?"

"She's dead. Is it true or not? Isn't it the final decision?"

Su Cheng turned his head and looked out the window, and said calmly: "Go. The sooner you get started, the better. When all parties notice Xia Sanniang, you won't be able to move."

Zhang Sheng looked coldly and respectfully responded: "Yes."

On Xie Zichen's side, he came back calmly and saw Wei Lan playing chess in the room with a smile on his face: "A game?"

Wei Lan smiled slightly: "Zichen seems to be in a good mood?"

Xie Zichen walked to Wei Lan, calmly knelt on the edge of the chess table, and collected the pieces with Wei Lan.

"After a while, you can go to your Majesty and report it."

Xie Zichen said indifferently, and Wei Lan nodded: "The two sons are not good stuff. This matter can only make Zhang Huaisheng take the blame."

With that, Wei Lan suddenly remembered: "How did you tell the prince? How could the prince really make up his mind to kill Xia Sanniang?"

"I asked Xia Sanniang to tell the prince that she has no evidence. The prince's desire to kill Zhang Huaisheng has reached the limit. He will not let this opportunity go. And a few days ago, I used a story to imply that he killed Zhang Huaisheng. The method. Now the prince is very likely to think of it. If he can’t remember, I will naturally guide him. When the prince becomes murderous, I will continue to stop and anger the prince. After I leave, Li Liang is a flattering generation. He has always seen the wind turn the rudder, and he will inevitably say good things to the prince and belittle me in favor of the prince. With Li Liang’s blow, the prince will naturally make up his mind and then call on Wang Xi.”

"Actually, if you did not specifically ask Wang Yuan to talk to His Highness Sanniang about Xia Sanniang today, His Highness San would certainly not think about what to do to Xia Sanniang today. It is impossible for Wang Xi to know what you did, and After all, he is a little tenderer, and he is also a son of a nobleman. He is habitually working from officialdom when he does things. I never thought that others would do so much in this matter. I just thought that Su Cheng should be a wait-and-see attitude now. After Xia Sanniang entered the Criminal Department, he cleared the relationship between the Criminal Department and turned the case over to Zhang Yushi. The risk of Su Cheng was underestimated by Wang Xi. As long as Wang Xi was sure that the prince really wanted to kill Zhang Huaisheng, he would support this matter."

"With the support of Li Liang and Wang Xi, I was irritated by me. The prince must kill Xia Sanniang tonight."

Xie Zichen put the last chess piece into the chess box, grabbed a chess piece from the chess box, and looked up at Wei Lan: "Odd or double?"

"Single." After Wei Lan guessed the child, he continued: "Xia Sanniang has no evidence, Shuntian Fu Yin will definitely report it to Su Cheng. If Zhang Huaisheng is really as you said, then he is more of a fame than fate. People who are heavy will never reveal the truth of this matter to Su Cheng. With the blessings of Shuntian Fu Yin and Zhang Huaisheng, plus the information of Xia Sanniang, the three princes will also believe what Wang Yuan said. He thought Wang Yuan His strategy was presented by his father, Wang Shangshu, and it will be adopted in all likelihood."

Speaking of this, Wei Lan couldn't help but smile: "Suddenly becoming Wang Yuan's father, Wei Lan feels a little frightened."

Xie Zichen counted the sons, which was an even number. He switched the chess box to Wei Lan, and he took the black son first.

"Suddenly becoming Wang Yuan's uncle, Zichen was also very frightened."

Wei Lan laughed loudly and couldn't help sighing: "Actually, Zhang Huaisheng has nothing to do with him in his life, and I don't know why, he will do something stupid about Xia Sanniang."

Xie Zichen didn't speak, the sound of the chess pieces interlaced, but when Wei Lan thought he would not answer, he said.

"Affection does not know where it originated, and it continues to deepen. The easiest way to destroy a powerful official is a relationship."

The author has something to say:

small theater

Wei Lan: "Suddenly becoming Wang Yuan's father, I feel a little scared in my heart."

Xie Zichen: "Suddenly becoming Wang Yuan's mother, I am also very scared in my heart."

Wei Lan: "Not uncle?"

Xie Zichen: "Actually, I want to be a mother, but there were so many people just now, so I was embarrassed to say.

Wang Yuan: "Ouuuuuu, Dad!"

Wei Lan: "Daddy doesn't want you anymore, get away."
