Chapter 16 Die together!(2/2)
The Minister Zuo Hanchong was lower than Wang Zheng's position. The other party showed no mercy and poured dirty water. He also looked gentle and angry:
"Mr. Wang, you can't talk nonsense. The capital city where Lingquan came to the day before yesterday has always been abide by himself in Qinghe County. I don't know that his personal morality is detrimental. How could he be known to his subordinates?"
Wang Zheng looked serious and looked behind him in a blink of an eye:
"Maud, tell me the story with the princess."
The Censor Chen Maode quickly got up and walked up to him:
"Reported to the princess, the lower official has a granddaughter named Tang Jingyi, who lives in Linhefang all year round. Yesterday morning, before dawn, the concubine of the dog son in the family saw Zuo Lingquan, Zuo Gongzi, who came out of Jingyi's house and closed the door on his behalf. The lonely man and widowed woman spent the night together..."
"Mr. Chen!"
Before Chen Maode finished speaking, Zuo Lingquan on the ring spoke coldly:
"Tang Jingying is the granddaughter of the late brother of the adult. Isn't it appropriate to insult his innocence with rumors like this?"
When Chen Maode heard this, he not only felt guilty, but also laughed:
"Young Master knows Jingying's family affairs very clearly. I ask you, did you come out of Jingying's house yesterday morning?"
Jiang Yi frowned slightly. She was beaten in Linhefang the night before yesterday. Zuo Lingquan also said she was drinking nearby...
Jiang Yi looked at Zuo Lingquan and wanted to see how he answered.
Zuo Lingquan's face was calm:
"The day before yesterday, Linhefang was having a ferocious beast. I assisted the arresting department to kill him. At night, I was worried that the ferocious beast would recur, so I sat in the Tang Family Restaurant in Linhefang for a night and left at the early morning of yesterday."
Wang Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said seriously: "That is to say, you did spend all night with Chen Jingshi's granddaughter?"
Zuo Lingquan nodded: "That's right, the doors and windows have not been closed, and they have been sitting in front of the window. People along the street can testify."
Wang Zheng shook his head: "You were just elected as the prince consort. For the sake of your future, you will naturally find excuses to explain. If there is no other relationship, how could a woman who has never met be stayed overnight for a man?"
"That's the truth. I can't be wrong with the prince consort, but I won't let the rumors ruin my innocence with that girl."
Wang Zheng snorted softly: "The eldest princess has called you the princess. How could you be wrong if you are wrong? You said this, isn't it just to make yourself look like you are not greedy for power and excuse yourself. Do you have real evidence?"
Real evidence?
Where did this come from real evidence?
Zuo Lingquan frowned and had nothing to say. He had no choice but to add a crime to the crime, and it was useless to say it.
Jiang Yi was not sure about the specific situation, but she knew that Zuo Lingquan did not want to be the prince consort, so she didn't have to find excuses to prove her innocence.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi's face darkened:
"Enough! The people chosen by this palace naturally know their character. If they say nothing is not, they don't."
Wang Zheng bowed and dissuaded:
"Your Highness, recruiting a prince consort is a lifelong event. As a court official, we should do our best for the princess. Now he has admitted that he stayed at the woman's house, how can we again..."
Jiang Yi's eyes were slightly cold: "I said that I believed him. He said that being innocent means being innocent. Besides, what if I stayed at a woman's house? I recruited a prince consort, but it was not the emperor who chose a concubine, so I asked a beautiful woman to be perfect. What's so strange about a man having a confidante? Wang Zheng, tell me, how many wives and concubines do you have?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the audience was silent, and even the young masters of the aristocratic family who were running for election lowered their heads, but Zuo Lingquan's eyes were calm.
Wang Zheng's face was slightly stiff. Unexpectedly, the princess said this. He turned his eyes and said:
"According to the rules, the prince-consort cannot take concubines, and abandoning his wife is even more despicable..."
Jiang Yi's brows were tight:
"I have the final say in my palace whether my son-in-law can take a concubine. I still need to give you rules? Otherwise, Wang Zheng will make the decision for me and choose one for me again here?"
"I don't dare."
Wang Zheng quickly lowered his head, with an awkward expression: "But, it's really inappropriate to just choose this guy..."
Seeing these court officials holding each other, Jiang Yi had to pat the fence to stop the words and looked at Zuo Lingquan in a blink of an eye:
"Zuo Lingquan, I promised that if that Miss Tang is your confidante, she can be the concubine today. All the civil and military officials of the court can testify. I will treat her as a sister in the future and will not treat her badly. Are you willing?"
When the civil and military officials heard this, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Even the Jiang clan relatives felt that it was inappropriate. This was too cheap. That boy, how could there be such a comfortable princess, and even let the princess and two daughters serve one husband together?
But what they didn't expect was Zuo Lingquan's reaction.
Zuo Lingquan didn't expect Jiang Yi to say this, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood that Jiang Yi believed his words and let him prove himself. He was already innocent and naturally said seriously:
"I met that Miss Tang by chance, Qingqing and Baibai had nothing to do with it, so I couldn't agree to this."
Once this statement is expressed, there is no need to explain anything else.
Yes, no, no.
Even if you have a daughter in front of you and a beauty on your bed, you won’t change your words.
When all the civil and military officials heard this, they nodded, and there was no doubt or guess in their eyes, only praise was left.
Jiang Yi almost found a sister for herself, and she was actually quite nervous, afraid that she would agree easily. Seeing Zuo Lingquan's answer, Jiang Yi was completely relieved. Seeing Zuo Lingquan's eyes softened a little without realizing it, she looked at Wang Zheng coldly:
"Shangshu Wang, what other unknown dirty water do you want to pour on the left prince consort?"
After saying this, what else can Wang Zheng say? He bowed and then raised his hand to Zuo Lingquan:
"Young Master Zuo, I heard that I misunderstood. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, Lord Wang is also thinking about the princess, just explain the matter clearly."
Zuo Lingquan had no good feelings for Wang Zheng and others, but the third uncle was an official in the court and still had to give him the steps he should give. After he finished speaking, he bowed his farewell, turned around and got off the ring, preparing to return to Zuo Hanchou's side.
Jiang Yi, who had just finished scolding her minister, saw Zuo Lingquan wanting to run away and said:
"Stop, where are you going?"
Zuo Lingquan paused and responded and looked at Jiang Yi, a little confused.
I'm going home, where am I going? Could it be that I'll keep standing here?
Jiang Yi raised her hand and hooked her mouth: "Come here, I have something to say to you."
His tone is very domineering.
Zuo Lingquan sighed secretly, feeling that the word "freedom" is gradually moving away.
As the saying goes, "If the king wants his minister to die, his minister must die." The eldest princess is equivalent to the female emperor of the Great Dan Dynasty. He could not ignore it and turn around and leave. He could only turn around and come down the high building, waiting for the eldest princess to come down...
