With Zhang Feng's confession, Yun Ruoyue and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Qing was finally saved. His injustice was finally cleared.
"You're finally willing to admit your guilt. Then why did you frame Official Zhang before? Was there someone behind you?"
Chu Xuanchen asked sternly.
Zhang Feng thought of that pair of bone-chilling eyes and hurriedly shook his head, "No, no one ordered me. I did all of this on my own.
I was afraid of being beheaded, so I framed my eldest uncle and tried to make him take the blame for me. "
When Zhang Qing heard this, he looked at Zhang Feng sternly, "Zhang Feng, this official treated you well. I didn't expect you to frame me in order to protect yourself! Are you worthy of this official? "
Zhang Feng immediately cried, "I'm sorry, Eldest Uncle. Nephew knows his mistake. Nephew shouldn't have done this to you.
It's all because Nephew is afraid of death that I framed you. "
"It must be because you were drunk and had bad intentions towards Yu 'er. You wanted to bully Yu' er, but Yu 'er refused, so you killed her.
In the end, you were afraid of death and framed me.
Fortunately, His Highness The Emperor of Li was wise and found a witness for this official.
Otherwise, this official wouldn't be able to explain himself! "
Zhang Qing said angrily.
Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Zhang Feng was even more convinced that he killed Yu 'er. He had even less confidence to quibble.
Chu Xuanchen said, "Prince Xian, Eunuch Xu, the real culprit has now been confessed.
Can we prove that Official Zhang is innocent? Can we release him immediately? "
Eunuch Xu's originally proud face turned ashen. He said sharply, "Although Zhang Qing is innocent, the matter of releasing him must wait until I return to the palace and report to the Emperor."
Prince Xian said, "Eunuch Xu, the truth of this case has been revealed. The real culprit has been determined.
According to the rules, Official Zhang is innocent. Wang should release him immediately.
Eunuch Xu, please return to the palace first. Wang will go to the palace and report to the Emperor about everything that happened today. "
"Yes, Your Highness."
Eunuch Xu said.
At this moment, Chu Xuanchen walked towards Zhang Qing and personally helped him up. His expression was solemn and his eyes were gentle. "Lord Zhang, you've been wronged!"
"With Your Highness's concern, this official does not feel wronged."
Zhang Qing was touched.
He didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen would go to great lengths to save him.
He didn't expect that the favor he gave to the beggar would save his life.
At this moment, Prince Xian said, "Men, take off Lord Zhang's shackles and restore him to his official position."
Immediately, a yamen runner came forward to remove Zhang Qing's shackles. At this moment, the yamen advisor Zhang Xi's voice suddenly sounded from outside. "Wait, Your Highness, you can't let him go yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed like an advisor walked in.
Prince Xian immediately looked at Zhang Xi. "Advisor, the real culprit has already confessed. Wang has already found out that Official Zhang is innocent. Why can't you let him go?"
The advisor held an account book in his hand with a solemn expression. "Your Highness, there was a mysterious person outside just now. He gave me this account book and ran away.
This account book records the bribery of various officials in the capital by a wealthy merchant from Qingzhou, Liu Yong.
Among them, there is a record of Liu Yong bribing Official Zhang with fifty thousand taels of silver! "
"What?"
When Zhang Qing heard this, his face was full of anger. "You're talking nonsense. This account book must be fake.
That wealthy merchant called Liu Yong did try to bribe me before, but I firmly rejected him.
I didn't accept any bribe from him at all. This is slander! "
Chu Xuanchen knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was still unwilling to let Zhang Qing off the hook. He wanted to kill his right-hand man!
