Chapter 159 The Slamming Case ([-])
"I just heard Zhang Cha continue to say that after they got acquainted, they discussed in front of the Jade Emperor's Palace and forced me to beat the prince into the palace with a jujube stick. But this is what they promised, and brother-in-law Kong Dao also participated in it."

"After Zhang Cha finished speaking, Lu Menglong, who was in charge of the interrogation, was taken aback. What's the matter? It turns out that the old eunuchs Pang Bao and Liu Cheng mentioned by Zhang Cha are the eunuchs under Zheng Guifei!"

"Then Lu Menglong hurriedly sent people to investigate and collect evidence. First, Ma Sandao and his group were arrested, and then the first trial, hey, was almost the same as Zhang Cha's confession."

"But Lu Menglong was deep in thought at this time. He thought, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng are two eunuchs with very low status. How could they want to assassinate the prince? Are they so courageous?"

"But the two of them were also members of Concubine Zheng, so Lu Menglong made a bold guess, that is, he suspected that Concubine Zheng had ordered Pang Bao and Liu Cheng to assassinate the prince, thereby supporting Prince Fu Zhu Changxun to ascend to power."

"However, Lu Menglong is a smart person. He knows that Zhu Yijun loves Concubine Zheng very much. If he hastily stated his guess to Zhu Yijun, maybe Concubine Zheng is fine, but he may be the one who has the accident."

"So Lu Menglong quietly spread this speculation, and it was heard by some courtiers. After a few days, Wang Zhi, He Shijin, and Zhang Wenda went to the court. The wild monster Zheng Guifei wanted to shake the foundation of the country."

"For a while, the government and the public were in an uproar. The courtiers accused the relatives of interfering in politics. It didn't take long for the news to reach Concubine Zheng. She was very scared, so she found Zhu Yijun and cried while saying that she had done nothing bad."

"But at this time, the officials were furious. Not only were there more memorials than at any other time in previous years, but their words were also very fierce. They pointed their finger at Concubine Zheng. Even Zhu Yijun did not dare to act rashly."

"This time, the memorial for the crown prince's grievance was jointly signed by almost all the courtiers. If there were only a few, Zhu Yijun would still be able to suppress it."

"But now that there are so many, it's impossible for Zhu Yijun to arrest and beat them all before burning the memorials, right? Besides, it's a fact that the crown prince was beaten, and Zhu Yijun really can't do anything."

"But he really couldn't bear Zheng Guifei to be accused by a group of gentlemen, so he suggested to her, since you said that you didn't do this, then you should go to the prince to express your heart, and let the prince see your sincerity, so that you can get the best of both worlds." I don't think you did it."

"In other words, Zhu Yijun cannot directly protect Concubine Zheng and let her go to Prince Zhu Changluo."

"But Concubine Zheng was in a panic at the time. When Zhu Yijun said that, she didn't blame him for not helping her. Instead, she got up and went straight to the East Palace."

"It is said that after Concubine Zheng saw Zhu Changluo, she knelt down in front of Zhu Changluo directly, and said, please His Highness the Crown Prince to check clearly, Zhang Cha attacked His Highness the Crown Prince with a stick, I really did not instigate it."

"When this Zhu Changluo heard it, he didn't even think about it. Without saying a word, he immediately helped Concubine Zheng up, saying that the concubine's actions really made me unbearable."

"Then he said, I know and at the same time I am convinced that Zhang Cha's attack on me was not instigated by the imperial concubine. Zhang Cha only needs to bear the responsibility for this matter. The imperial concubine does not have to worry. I will let the Ministry of Punishment close the case now, and no other people can be implicated. .”

"Hearing this, you may think that Zhu Changluo is stupid. No matter what you say about this matter, it must have something to do with Concubine Zheng, right?"

"But you forgot or ignored one detail, that is, Concubine Zheng came to Zhu Changluo in person and knelt in front of him. Whose idea was this? This was Zhu Yijun's intention."

"Then Concubine Zheng came to explain to Zhu Changluo that Zhang Cha's attack on Zhu Changluo was not instigated by her. You can understand this sentence to mean that Zhu Yijun does not believe it was Concubine Zheng who instigated it."

"Since Zhu Yijun doesn't believe it, but he asked Concubine Zheng to come to Zhu Changluo to explain, what does this mean?"

"At that time, Zhu Changluo, as the victim, really needed an explanation, and Concubine Zheng was the most suspected person. Naturally, it was necessary to explain to Zhu Changluo."

"So there are two key points involved here. One is that Zhu Yijun believes that Concubine Zheng is innocent, and the other is that Zhu Yijun asked Concubine Zheng to come to Zhu Changluo to explain. What does this mean?"

"Look, Zhu Yijun thinks Concubine Zheng is not guilty, but he asked Concubine Zheng to come to Zhu Changluo, the victim, to explain. This is not obvious. Should Zhu Changluo not blame Concubine Zheng?"

"Attention, Zhu Changluo is the victim and Concubine Zheng is the suspect. If Zhu Changluo forgives or does not doubt Concubine Zheng, what can the courtiers say?"

"It can be seen that although Zhu Yijun did not directly come forward to help Concubine Zheng, but in the end he has already been manipulated to death. He expected that Zhu Changluo would never blame Concubine Zheng."

"In this way, not only the assault case can be successfully concluded, but also the rumors about Concubine Zheng can be cleared. I have to say that Zhu Yijun's methods are indeed very clever."

"After that, Zhu Yijun executed Zhang Cha for the crime of madness. Before Zhang Cha died, he said that they were the masterminds and I was just an accomplice. Now that the matter has been exposed, you only killed me but did not hold them accountable. This world is unreasonable!"

"After Zhang Cha was executed, Ma Sandao and others were dispatched to the frontier to exile, but Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were not held accountable for the time being."

"Not long after, because the situation did not calm down, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to ask the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Three Law Departments of Dali Temple to interrogate Pang Bao and Liu Cheng several times."

"But because the witnesses are gone, Pang Bao and Liu Cheng have nothing to fear. They categorically deny those actions and never admit their crimes."

"Later, the Ministry of Punishment reported this situation to Zhu Yijun. After Zhu Yijun heard the news, he said, isn't this matter difficult to handle? Let Jin Yiwei handle it!"

"So the Ministry of Punishment brought Zhu Yijun's oral order to Jinyiwei. When Jinyiwei heard it, he immediately understood what Zhu Yijun meant, and immediately sent people to bring Pang Bao and Liu Cheng back to Jinyiwei."

"It is said that Pang Bao and Liu Cheng were brought to Jinyiwei, and they were very frightened, because they all knew that Jinyiwei enjoyed privileges, and even if they killed the wrong person, it would not be illegal."

"So Pang Bao and Liu Cheng wanted to tell the truth quickly, but Jin Yiwei would not listen to their nonsense at this time, and was executed in secret without saying anything."

"In this way, a weird shooting case can't be ended like this. Why do you say that the shooting case is weird? The main reason is that it involved many forces, but in the end even the mastermind behind it couldn't be found out."
