Ever since Cai Laojiu was told that they had kidnapped the emperor and then said that they would go to the palace to testify, he has never been able to relax.
At this time, he really looked at Nangong Yuanyi and felt that he was very familiar.
Suddenly, Cai Laojiu said: "You are the Nangong Crown Prince who Hong Gui asked us to assassinate last time. At that time, Hong Gui told us that we would take your head for ten thousand taels. Unexpectedly, I also lost a dozen brothers and the rest." My brother was poisoned again and the mission was not completed. Hong Gui only gave me five thousand taels to buy the antidote for my brothers."
Only then did Nangong Zhi realize that something was wrong, and said angrily: "Wu Zhong, didn't you say you spent 50,000 taels that time?"
Suddenly, everyone sighed. It seemed that Nangong Zhi had found someone to murder the prince more than once.
Brother, are you really vicious?
Nangong Zhi suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and his heart was full of doubts, so he was anxious to reveal the matter himself.
"Wu Zhong, you are so loyal to the eldest son!" Nangong Yuanyi said sarcastically.
"Brother, you have often asked Wu Zhong to spend unjust money on you. Have you ever calculated how much money Wu Zhong and Hong Gui ate from you during this period? Do you feel bad about it?" Nangong Yuanyi pointed out: "Brother said I am not the son of my mother-in-law, did Wu Zhong tell you that too?"
When Nangong Zhi heard this, he stepped forward and kicked Wu Zhong: "No wonder I can't kill him every time I buy a killer. It turns out it's you who are causing trouble here."
"It was Lin Yi who told me. I didn't know Lin Yi would make up such a lie to deceive me."
Nangong Yuanyi only raised his lips slightly and stopped talking.
Hong Gui's entire Tiansha Sect was inexplicably taken over by the officers and soldiers. He was also furious, and now he was caught again. He knew that he was bound to die, and he wanted to take a few more people to support him before he died.
Therefore, Hong Gui also rushed to speak: "Wu Zhong, I didn't get a penny from the 50,000 taels last time. This kidnapping of the emperor is a serious crime of beheading. You made 80,000 taels out of it, and I am so famous. You contributed 20,000 taels to me, but you took 60,000 taels by yourself."
Nangong Hao's hands were restrained. He thought Nangong Zhi was a smart man, but he didn't expect to be fooled by Wu Zhong and even implicate him.
Nangong Yuanyi said again: "Liu Wu, how much money did you earn by following them in this beheading business?"
Nangong Yuanyi had already learned from Cai Laojiu that it was Liu Wu who guarded the back door that night who welcomed Cai Laojiu and others in.
Liu Wu panicked and said, "I don't know that the person in that room is the emperor. It was Manager Wu who gave the villain ten taels of silver and said that he would bring a few people in disguise into the house to do a business. After the transaction was completed, he would give it to the villain." One hundred taels, he also said, this is just a kidnapping, he only wants money but not his life."
"At that time, I thought that Manager Wu had a lot of career paths and connections. He must have negotiated another business deal with the Hong family gang. After the deal was completed, I would still have one hundred taels to get. I became obsessed and asked the emperor to spare his life."
After hearing the confessions of several people, everyone heard some clues from them: "The eldest son has often attacked the prince for the sake of his position. Unfortunately, he failed every time. It turned out that he was tricked by his own people."
"There are many nobles fighting for power, but there are very few who are fooled around by a servant like the eldest son."
"This time King Jin's rebellion was also set up by Steward Wu, but what went wrong in the middle?"
Nangong Nan suddenly said: "I'm a little tired, let's all disperse."
Immediately, the ministers retreated one after another, "Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."
All the people in Prince Jin's Mansion were taken to the prison, awaiting trial.
Nangong Zhi, Wu Zhong and others were also taken to prison.
Only then did Nangong Zhi feel scared: "Father, save me, save me, I am your son. Father, my mother and concubine died early, you can't ignore your son..."
"Detain him." Nangong Yu said coldly.
Seeing that her husband had been captured, Mrs. Zhao fainted and was carried out of the palace by her maids.
