"Back to the emperor, the grass people can't write, but... the lady at home can write, and she copied the notes... After writing them, the grass people threw them into the backyard of the teahouse... The grassroots know they are wrong, Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!" Wang Dabang began to kowtow crazily, one after another, blood flowed from his forehead.

"Come on, stop him." Emperor Hongsu hurriedly ordered, and then Jin Yiwei stepped forward and pressed Wang Dabang's shoulder.

Emperor Hongsu thought for a while, his face became gentler, and his voice was not as harsh as before: "Da Bang, don't worry, I didn't say that I would behead you immediately, as long as you tell the truth about the incident From beginning to end, I will deal with it leniently."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Dabang clasped his fists in thanks again and again, and hastily wiped away the tears and snot on his face with his sleeve.

"I just heard that you used the word "copying". Didn't this accusation against the Zhao family come from your mouth?"

"Of course not! Caomin farms all day, how do you know this? The wife at home can know two characters, but she has never been to school, so she can only use some vulgar words. The copied sentences are complicated, and it is absolutely impossible for us to do it! Caomin. .....The grassroots are greedy for profit, and only agreed to take advantage of others...I thought it was a trivial matter, but I didn't expect such a big commotion afterwards...The emperor spare me!"

"Who is it with your money?"

"The grassroots don't even know that man, he is a burly man who took a lot of silver to the grassroots house..."

"But this person?" Emperor Hongsu held up a portrait and asked Deng Li to send it to Wang Dabang.

"It's him, it's him!" After a few glances, Wang Dabang nodded again and again: "The big man is holding a piece of cloth with words written on it, let us copy it. After copying, he threw the cloth into my stove. After getting up, they left. The grass people’s house was bare, and they were usually very tight in food and clothing. Seeing that the cloth was made of high-quality silk, they wanted to save their sweat, so they poured out the firewood with a basin of water, and took out the cloth.”

Emperor Hongsu was startled, his expression suddenly serious: "Where is the cloth?"

"It was confiscated by the officials."

"Your Majesty, those criminal witnesses have been handed over, under the indictment."

Emperor Hongsu rummaged through it a few times, and sure enough, he found a half-burnt piece of cloth from the bottom, with words of slander imprinted on it.He flipped through it again, and found another piece of wrinkled paper with crooked characters written on it. Obviously, this copy was copied by Wang Dabang's wife.

Then who wrote the characters on the cloth?Emperor Hongsu frowned, and read the incomplete characters one by one. When his eyes fell on the seal on the final signature, he took a deep breath.

This is the chapter of General Fuyuan's Mansion!

The emperor was stunned. Now he finally understood why Mr. Zhao Ge lost his composure, and also knew why he asked him to avenge his injustice!

"Come on, bring Xia Qingshu here, I have something to question her face to face!" Hong Sudi's voice was hoarse and ugly, and his face was very gloomy.

Deng Li raised his eyelids, and was about to step forward to pass tea, when Zhao Yanyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke, and he had to stop.

Zhao Yanyuan said: "Your Majesty, I still have something to report here."

"Zhao Qing, please tell me."

***

A dozen or so fast horses drove out from the palace gate, and ran aggressively towards Fuyuan General's Mansion. When they stepped across the streets of Nanjing City, a burst of yellow sand was raised.

The people on both sides of the street were talking about it, and the person wearing the flying fish suit was very easy to recognize, he was the famous Jinyiwei!

Everyone in the world knows that Jin Yiwei obeys the order of the emperor, and if he enters the mansion to arrest people, it must be the emperor's will, and these people who were arrested will never return.

Amidst the people's discussion, Jin Yiwei's horseshoe stopped at the gate of Fuyuan General's Mansion.

"General, general, it's not good! There are many Jinyi guards outside the gate of the mansion!" The servant rushed to report, his face was full of fear.

Xia Qingshu was whistling and teasing the birds, when she heard the words she laughed, and unhurriedly handed the birdcage in her hand to Liu Yan, saying: "When you come, welcome the guests well, what are you doing in a hurry."

"Master Jin Yiwei is coming in a menacing way, and the subordinates have to worry about the situation of the general..." the servant said anxiously.

Xia Qingshu waved her hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is nothing to worry about, we have a clear conscience." After she finished speaking, she walked into the sun with her hands behind her back, looked at the clear sky, stretched her waist, and murmured: " Staying in this mansion for so many days without ever going out, I am suffocated. The big fish has already entered the net, it is time to collect the net."

"Xiong Cong, the Fusi of Jinyiwei Town, has seen General Xia, and sent an order to His Majesty, asking General Xia to enter the palace immediately." The servants at the door couldn't resist, Jinyiwei broke into the inner courtyard with a knife, aggressive, and his tone was very bad.

Xia Qingshu was not annoyed, turned around and told Liu Yan: "I will enter the palace first, Master Hong and Shangshu Zhou, let them get ready."

After giving the order, she followed Jin Yiwei into the palace.

***

Cining Palace.

Just as Ji Qianyao coaxed the Empress Dowager to sleep, the news came that Xia Qingshu was brought into the palace by Jin Yiwei.After listening, she just nodded and didn't respond any more.

Walking together with Sujin to the Imperial Garden of the Compassionate Palace, Ji Qianyao couldn't help but think of Xia Qingshu's words in Twenty Nights. She confidently said that she could prove her innocence without two assassins.

But how can the current situation be reversed?

"Su Jin, do you think other than the confessions of these two assassins, what else can prove Xia Qingshu's innocence?"
