Chapter 158 The Slamming Case ([-])
"Where is the East Palace? That is where the prince lives. Logically speaking, the guards of the East Palace should be very tight and cautious. How could someone break in and assassinate the prince?"

"The second doubt is that when the eunuch guarding the gate encountered the assassin, why didn't he tell Zhu Changluo to run away quickly, but instead lured Zhu Changluo out during the fight with the man with the stick?"

"The third question is that Han Benyong, as Zhu Changluo's personal bodyguard, should stay by his side to protect him. How could he appear after Zhu Changluo was injured?"

"Okay, with these questions in mind, let's continue to understand the ins and outs of the shooting case."

"Not long after Zhu Changluo was injured, someone rushed to find Zhu Yijun. Someone broke into the East Palace with a wooden stick and almost beat the prince to death."

"At that time, Zhu Yijun was also very surprised when he heard it. Of course, he was not worried about Zhu Changluo, but rather surprised that someone would break into the East Palace and beat the crown prince."

"But Zhu Changluo is the prince after all, so he can't just ignore it, so Zhu Yijun ordered the judicial department to interrogate the man with the stick."

"It is said that Liu Tingyuan, who is in charge of inspecting the royal censor of the imperial city, interrogated the man with the stick on the spot according to the law. It was not until the first trial that he found out that the man was called Zhang Cha, from Jizhou. Before the interrogation, Zhang Cha became crazy. .”

"Liu Tingyuan interrogated him again and again, but Zhang Chai was insane and babbling nonsense, always talking about eating fast and begging for food."

"Liu Tingyuan asked for several hours. Except for his name and address, Liu Tingyuan couldn't ask anything."

"So Liu Tingyuan handed Zhang Chai over to the Judiciary for interrogation, but the Judiciary asked for a while, but couldn't ask anything, and finally sent Zhang Chai to the Ministry of Punishment for a final judgment."

"After arriving at the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Punishment sent Hu Shixiang, a doctor, to interrogate Zhang Cha. Can Hu Shixiang ask something useful?"

"Hey, don't tell me, this Hu Shixiang is lucky. After Zhang Cha arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, his mind cleared up a lot and he could speak clearly."

"So Hu Shixiang asked, why did he break into the East Palace and beat the prince, and who ordered him to assassinate the prince?"

"But Zhang Cha shook his head and talked about the experiences he could remember."

"Zhang Cha said that I was bullied by neighbors named Li Ziqiang and Li Wancang, and they burned my firewood."

"I was very angry, but I couldn't beat them, so I had no choice but to come to the capital to file a complaint, intending to beat the drums and ask the court to uphold justice for me."

"So I came to the capital in mid-April. I came in through the east gate, but I didn't know the way, so I had to go west to see where there was a yamen."

"Walking on the way, I met two strangers on the way. They handed me a jujube stick and said that I could use this jujube stick to avenge my grievance."

"I didn't know what happened at the time. Maybe I suddenly became confused, so I walked straight to the palace gate and injured many people. I was finally caught."

"Hearing Zhang Cha's self-report, Hu Shixiang felt a little strange. He was crazy just now, why did he suddenly get better now? And he said that two people gave him the jujube stick for beating people, and those two people Who is it?"

"Hu Shixiang, who was thinking over and over again, still couldn't understand this matter, and he couldn't come to a conclusion. He thought that Zhang Cha might not be able to use his brain, and those words were all made up by him, so he reported the situation to Zhu Yijun."

"But at that time, someone saw something strange. Who is it? The Ministry of Punishment brought Wang Zhicai to prison."

"It is said that one day, Wang Zhicai personally distributed food to the prisoners when he had nothing to do. When he was assigned to Zhang Cha's cell, Zhang Cha even greeted him, so he felt that Zhang Cha was not crazy."

"Seeing this, Wang Zhicai decided to interrogate Zhang Chai again. In order to make Zhang Chai tell the truth, Wang Zhicai told him, you'd better tell the truth, and I'll give you food if you tell the truth. If you don't tell the truth, I won't For you to eat."

"Zhang Cha was startled, and quickly waved his hand and said, don't dare, adults just ask questions, villains must not dare to hide."

"Then Wang Zhicai asked the other people in the cell to avoid him, leaving only two guards standing by to interrogate Zhang Cha in person."

"However, this trial turned out to be a shocking conspiracy. What is it?"

"Zhang Cha said that his real name is Zhang Wuer, he is 35 years old this year, he lives in Jizhou, his parents have passed away, and now he has relatives such as Uncle Ma and Grandfather Li."

"Of course, these are all nonsense, let's hear what he says next."

"He said that he made a living by chopping firewood and hunting. A month ago, Zhang Cha brought mountain goods to Jeju for trading. Hey, he couldn't control it. He went to a casino once, but he ran out of money."

"Just when he was going to go back, he met an old eunuch who told him that as long as he completed the task he gave, Zhang Cha would be able to obtain [-] acres of land."

"Zhang Cha thought about it, saying that he could still meet such a good thing? So he came to the capital with that old eunuch, and then came to a big house, and then another old eunuch came and gave Zhang Cha some money. Eat wine and meat."

"After a few days, the old eunuch took him into the Forbidden City, handed him a jujube stick, and then gave Zhang Cha a drink to get him drunk on purpose."

"Then the old eunuch took him through the Houzai Gate and brought him not far from Ciqing Palace. The old eunuch told him, go in and beat whoever you see. If you meet someone in yellow clothes, beat him to death. ! Kill him, there will be a lot of rewards! If you are caught, we will rescue you."

"Speaking of this, you may have already heard that the one in yellow is the prince Zhu Changluo, wearing a yellow dragon robe."

"So Wang Zhicai continued to ask him who was the old eunuch who brought him into the Forbidden City, hey, this Zhang Cha stopped talking again."

"Later, Wang Zhicai reported the situation to Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun felt that it was not an easy matter. The prince was beaten, so he asked Lu Menglong, a member of the criminal department, to interrogate Zhang Cha again."

"After Lu Menglong came to the prison, he lured Zhang Cha and said that if you can draw the path to enter the palace and name the people you met, not only will you be released without guilt, but you will also be compensated for your firewood."

"When Zhang Chai heard it, he felt that it was not a loss, and he believed it to be true, so Zhang Chai said it out."

"He said that his uncle Ma Sandao was named Ma Sandao, and Li's grandfather Li Shoucai was named Li Shoucai. They were both from Jizhou."

"The old eunuch he met for the first time was actually Pang Bao who repaired the Tiewa Palace. Uncle Ma and Li Shoucai often went to Pang Bao's place to deliver ashes. Over time, they got to know each other."
