Lu Bing frowned: "Yan Shaoqing, sisters Rouge were not outside the house at the third watch yesterday. Who can prove this?"
Yan Shifan was stunned for a moment. It was really not easy to prove this matter. The only ones who could prove it were the secret guards and servants in his mansion. Their testimony was not convincing.
"I... Rouge Leopard is in the house now!"
Xiao Feng coughed lightly: "Mr. Yan, you are really stupid. Rouge Leopard is now in your house. What can you prove?
Can you prove that she was not outside the house at midnight last night? There is no such proof. "
Yan Shifan was speechless for a moment: "If her sisters really did such lawless things, how could they dare to return home?"
Xiao Feng looked at him: "I'm also surprised. If he wasn't following orders, which servant would dare to return home after doing such a thing?"
Yan Shifan suddenly became alert and realized the fatality of this problem. He was silent for a moment and looked at Lu Bing again.
"Master Lu, I know that you are upright, especially regarding Xia Yan, and you will not lie.
I just want to ask, do you believe that Sister Rouge did what happened last night? "
Lu Bing was silent for a moment. He could hear the threat in Yan Shifan's words: This is Xia Yan's case, and we are wearing one-leg pants! If you dare to side with Xiao Feng, I won't spare you!
"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but at the two places at that time, the Ministry of Punishment arrested more than 20 people with headgear, and the imperial guards guarded five people, and they all said it with certainty.
I don't believe they dare to make up lies and deceive Long Live. What's more, if they lie, what are they trying to do? "
This is what Yan Shifan is most confused about. If he was an agent of Shuntian Prefecture, he could also think that it was possible for Xiao Feng to act for Yin of Shuntian Prefecture and collude with the agents to commit perjury.
To be honest, this possibility is only a little bit possible, but it actually doesn't exist. One or two people are easy to bribe, but how can a group of people be bribed?
Just like the twenty or so police officers from the Ministry of Punishment, the head catcher Zhan Feiyun might lie because of Xiao Feng. Then the twenty police officers would risk deceiving him and beheading him for Xiao Feng?
Not to mention the five imperial guards. In order to avoid suspicion, Lu Bing directly transferred Shen Lian, Lu Yi and Zhao Zongqi, who had the best relationship with Xiao Feng, to other positions.
If Yan Shifan said that these five Jin Yiwei lied at the same time, it would be tantamount to directly accusing the Jin Yiwei controlled by Lu Bing of collectively deceiving the emperor and committing perjury!
Not to mention that Yan Shifan didn't dare to make such an accusation, even if he really made the accusation, Jiajing wouldn't believe it. Lu Bing's betrayal is extremely unlikely, and being able to control five Jinyi guards to betray together is simply a fantasy!
So Yan Shifan had to believe a fact that he least wanted to believe. Yan Zhihu, who had not returned home until now, betrayed him!
But even so, Yan Shifan still firmly did not believe Jin Yiwei's confession, so he raised questions.
"Master Lu, Yan Zhihu has indeed never returned home. It is not impossible to assume that she was bribed to do illegal things.
But Rouge Leopard has indeed been in the mansion all along. Could it be that those Jinyi guards were intoxicated by the incense, became confused, and saw it wrong? "
Lu Bing said calmly: "There is one detail that can prove that they are indeed the Rouge Leopard sisters. Do you still remember the time when things happened between them?"
Yan Shifan thought for a while: "Third watch?"
Lu Bing nodded and said: "That's right, at the third watch, as soon as the banger fell, both sides started to attack at the same time. Note that they started to attack at the same time.
The distance between the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Prison was as long as a stick of incense, even on horseback. Besides, neither party said they heard the sound of horse hooves.
Besides, even fighting and killing people at the Criminal Department would take at least one stick of incense. If it was done by one person, how could it be possible for both parties to do it at the same time?
As for being hit by the incense, yes, after a person is hit by the incense, they become confused and may see the person wrongly, but they can’t even get the number of people wrong!
Two equally tall and slender women, matching sisters, both of them killed with one claw. Master Yan, tell me, what's wrong? "
Yan Shifan was sweating. In fact, he knew that as long as it was confirmed that the Rouge sisters had done this, even if it was done by one person, he would
There is no escape from guilt.
But it's better. He can be said to have been bribed by his enemies, such as Xiao Feng. But it's hard to explain that two sisters were bribed at the same time.
"Long live, although the Rouge sisters are my family's servants, they are still in the world and have a wide network of friends. Maybe it was Xia Yan's party who bribed them..."
Xiao Feng shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Yan, what you said is beyond the pale. No one in the capital knows that Sister Rouge is a loyal servant of your Yan Mansion.
What's more, unless you have a special mission, one of them is allowed to stay in the house. Who is so capable that he can bribe two sisters at the same time under such circumstances? "
Yan Shifan really had no other choice, gritted his teeth and said: "Long live, there are many doubts about this matter, someone must be imposter.
The biggest doubt is that only Yan Zhihu went out last night, and Yan Zhibao was always at home. Everyone in the lower official's office can prove it. "
Xiao Feng coughed and smiled: "If it works if people in the house prove it, then my whole house can prove that they witnessed Sister Rouge running wildly on the street yesterday. Is it useful?
Mr. Yan, after all is said and done, there is actually the simplest way to prove your innocence. I wonder why you abandoned it? "
Yan Shifan was stunned: "Is there any way I can prove my innocence?"
Xiao Feng said: "Rouge Leopard, since you said that Rouge Leopard was always at home, then she must not know what happened last night.
And since she didn't go out in Yan's Mansion, she should know something about what happened in Yan's Mansion last night. Details are hard to make up.
If you ask Rouge Leopard to come over and talk, won't everything be clear? I don’t know how much better it is than you struggling to defend yourself here. "
Yan Shifan looked at Xiao Feng warily. This idea was not a good one, but it was indeed a solution. Why would Xiao Feng help him come up with such an idea?
But the situation did not allow him to hesitate too much, otherwise it would only make him appear more guilty. He nodded and said frankly to Jiajing.
"Long live, if that's the case, I'll have someone bring Rouge Leopard here and make it clear in public!"
Jiajing nodded: "Lu Bing, send someone to follow you. I heard that the Rouge sisters are very good at martial arts. It's best if nothing happens!"
Yan Shifan felt cold. Jiajing's words almost confirmed his suspicion of him, for fear that Rouge Leopard would escape halfway!
Jiajing looked at Yan Shifan and thought, why should I not doubt you? All the evidence now shows that you sent someone to do this!
Lu Bing sent a team of Jinyi guards, plus Zhan Feiyun from the Criminal Department, to Yan Mansion to interrogate Rouge Bao. This lineup can be said to be very powerful and foolproof.
Rouge Leopard probably knew that he couldn't run away, so he followed everyone to Xiyuan obediently. Jiajing was also quite curious about Rouge Leopard, and immediately ordered him to be brought in.
Rouge Leopard was kneeling on the ground. No matter how seductive and bold she was, her aura was naturally suppressed when she was in front of the real emperor.
Her face was slightly pale, her whole body was trembling slightly, her hands were rubbing the skirt of her clothes, her tall and beautiful figure was kneeling in an S shape, which made her look even more pitiful.
Jiajing commented silently in his heart, she is indeed a rare beauty. It is rare that King Jing can still stay awake and sit calmly in his arms. It is very good, very good.
Jiajing would naturally not lower his status to ask questions about such a well-known prostitute. It was only in line with the rules that Lu Bing had to speak.
"Rouge Leopard, where were you and what were you doing at the third watch last night?"
Rouge Leopard opened his mouth hesitantly, but didn't say a word. His body was shaking even more, and he glanced at Jiajing secretly from time to time.
Jiajing was not unhappy about being stared at by a beautiful woman. He just felt strange. Why was she looking at him so much? Was he so handsome?
Lu Bing shouted: "How dare you! You didn't answer my questions and actually spied on Long Live. Are you going to rebel?"
Rouge Leopard trembled in fright and lowered his head: "A civilian girl... A civilian girl wanted to lie, but when she saw the aura of the Long Live Emperor, she was frightened, so she was speechless. Please forgive me."
Um? Everyone was stunned. What kind of lies were they trying to say? If you still want to lie in front of Banzai, this is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!
Jiajing felt quite comfortable, huh
He shouted: "See that I am in awe and you are still a bit of a human being. Tell the truth, otherwise no one can save you!"
Rouge Leopard lowered his head, his voice was sweet and charming, with a slight tremor, making it even more alluring.
"Sir, I was sent to the house by my master at three o'clock last night to go to work with my sister."
Everyone was in an uproar, and Yan Song and Yan Shifan's heads buzzed at the same time. Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan looked at Rouge Leopard, with fire in his eyes.
Yan Shifan almost jumped out of the car: "***! How dare you talk nonsense and frame me!"
Rouge Leopard raised his head and looked at Yan Shifan with a pale face: "Master, how did you treat my sister and me?
You left me in the house and asked me to help you cover your lies, but where is my sister? Still haven't come back yet!
I thought about it last night, and finally figured it out. After such a big event, you will definitely not let us go out to show off again!
My sister may have exposed herself in the Ministry of Punishment. I will tell you when I go back. At that time, you said you would find a way to solve it, but later I realized that I had said the wrong thing!
You said, where has my sister gone? Did you kill her to silence her? Yes or no! "
Rouge Leopard spoke with tears in her eyes and her voice was hoarse at the end. Although everyone knew that she was not a good character, the deep sisterly love moved many people.
Yan Shifan's face was ashen and he wanted to jump down from the car and pinch Rouge Leopard's neck.
"You fart! Your sister obviously went out to have fun on her own! Even if she did something illegal, she was ordered by others. What does it have to do with me?
Your sister never came back at all! What are you talking about? Who told you to say that? "
He suddenly turned to Xiao Feng, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you! You bribed the two sisters to frame me, right?"
Xiao Feng raised his head weakly and looked at Yan Shifan with a blank expression, so innocent that it made people feel heartbroken.
"Mr. Yan, where do you start with these words? Sister Rouge is your loyal servant. I have never had contact with Sister Rouge.
Even if they come into contact once, there is still a chance to bribe them, but if there is no contact, how can there be an opportunity to bribe them? "
Yan Shifan could feel Jiajing's eyes looking at him coldly. Once what happened today was confirmed, he would be in great trouble!
"You are talking nonsense. Although you have never come into contact with a rouge tiger, you saw a rouge leopard when you were captured by the Tatars..."
Yan Shifan stopped abruptly, and he suddenly realized that he was forced by Xiao Feng and made a stupid move.
It's a pity that his words have already been spoken, and everyone has heard them, but they just haven't reacted yet. Xiao Feng smiled lightly.
"If you didn't talk about it, I didn't want to mention it because no one would believe it.
I still don’t understand it to this day. The Tatars were fighting a bloody battle with the imperial court at that time. What did you do when you sent Rouge Leopard to meet Xiao Qin and An Dahan? "
Lu Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In fact, Jin Yiwei had already discovered that Yan Shifan had contacts with the Tatars, but the evidence was not conclusive and Lu Bing never said anything.
Because Lu Bing knew that as long as there was no definite evidence, Yan Shifan would never admit such a crime, and Jiajing would never think that Yan Shifan was guilty of collaborating with the enemy just because of his own words.
At that time, apart from being incompatible with Yan Dang, Lu Bing did not want to do anything that would not be of any benefit to him. Lu Bing did not want to do anything that had no benefit.
Yan Shifan quickly made amends: "I sent Rouge Leopard to the Tatars to collect information about the enemy to help the court. As a court official, I have to serve the country!"
Xiao Feng exclaimed: "Since Mr. Yan has this intention and Rouge Leopard has penetrated into the enemy again, then he must have obtained a lot of confidential information.
I wonder who Mr. Yan provided this information to? Is it Mr. Lu from Jinyiwei or Mr. Ding from the Ministry of War? It can’t be Mr. Yan from the cabinet, right? "
Yan Shifan knew that neither Lu Bing nor Ding Rukui would be able to help him cover up his lies at this time, so he was seeking death by talking to them.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, knowing how much ridicule it would cause, Yan Shifan had no choice but to hope that his father could pull him off.
I have a handful.
"Yes, I told my father. As the chief minister of the cabinet, my father is the chief minister of the cabinet. If I tell him the information I collected, what is the difference between telling him the information and telling the court?"
Yan Song secretly complained, but he knew that Yan Shifan had been forced to the edge of the cliff by Xiao Feng at this time, and if he didn't take action, he would fall to pieces.
"Xiao Feng, Donglou did tell me about this. However, the information I obtained was very limited. After analyzing it, I felt it was of little use, so I did not inform Mr. Lu and Mr. Ding separately."
Xiao Feng smiled faintly: "So it turns out that Rouge Leopard has gone deep into the Tatar camp, but the information he obtained is very limited, and this limited information was only told to Master Yan.
After hearing this, Mr. Yan felt that the information was of no use, so he threw it away without letting the Ministry of War and Jinyiwei, the two departments that knew the most about the information, work together to provide advice.
Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, I understand this, there is nothing wrong with it, right? "
Yan Song and Yan Shifan's faces were ashen, but they couldn't deny it, so they could only mutter: "Yes, that's it."
Jiajing looked at his old friend Yan Song very seriously, making Yan Song sit on pins and needles. Fortunately, Jiajing finally spoke.
"The Tatars are cunning, and it is normal that the information Rouge Leopard obtained is limited. Yan Aiqing handled the information carelessly, so he should be more careful and conscientious next time."
Jiajing once again excused Yan Song, but his tone was obviously a little colder than before, and Yan Song could feel it.
Xiao Feng thought silently in his heart that Laoya Bao's health bar had finally been worn down to below 50%, and he wouldn't be able to resist it for a few more times.
Yan Shifan didn't know that his father was seriously injured this time when he was acting as a human shield. He had to quickly find his place and complete at least one injury replacement!
"Xiao Feng, since you also admitted that you had contact with Rouge Leopard in the Tatar camp, why did you conceal this matter before? It shows that you have a guilty conscience!"
Xiao Feng smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, since you have admitted that you know that I had contact with Rouge Leopard in the Tatar camp, why did you hide this matter before?
Don't say you are trying to protect me. Don't say I don't believe you when you say that. I'm afraid no one in the world will believe it. "
Yan Shifan rolled his eyes at this carbine stabbing, but his brain was not in vain, he did have extraordinary abilities.
"This...this is because...because...by the way, it's because you died soon after you came back. I thought it was boring to compete with a dead person, so I didn't say anything!
I didn’t say it later because if I didn’t say it at the beginning, others might not believe it if I said it later. If I hadn't suspected you of buying Rouge Leopard today, I wouldn't have told you!
You should tell me, why don't you tell me? If you say it's to protect me, I'm afraid everyone in the world won't believe it either! "
Xiao Feng opened his eyes in surprise: "Didn't you just say that I died soon after I came back?
I have so many big things to explain before I die, and such a trivial matter as your suspected collaboration with the enemy will not be ranked at all in the little time I have left.
When I come back to life, it won't make any sense to talk about it anymore. Anyway, no one will suspect that your father is the chief assistant, but you are secretly collaborating with the enemy, right? "
Yan Shifan was speechless, knowing that there was no way to argue on this issue anymore, and the more we argue, the more dangerous it would be, so he gritted his teeth and put the issue back on track.
"Anyway, you did have contact with Rouge Leopard before, so you do have the opportunity to bribe the two sisters, right?"
Xiao Feng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yan, Miss Rouge Leopard was a guest in the Tatar camp, and I was a prisoner in the Tatar camp.
Don't say that I don't want to bribe them at all, I just want to bribe them. What should I do to bribe them?
These two sisters like Paradise Pills and men, but I can't give them either. What reason do they have to betray you and be bribed by me? "
Yan Shifan also felt that this matter was a bit difficult to explain. While he was hesitating, a guard in golden clothes suddenly came to report.
"Long live, Long Live, Mr. Zhang Yuan of Dongchang Factory asks to see you. He said that he has found out important information about what happened last night and wants to inform all of you, sir."
Jiajing nodded: "Let him come in."
Zhang Yuanzao
Entering the monastery, he knelt down and bowed, then stood up and looked at Yan Shifan.
"Yan Shaoqing, I learned a piece of news from the inside of the White Lotus Sect. Sister Rouge, a servant of your mansion, was rescued by Yu Dayou when she was young.
It is said that Rouge Leopard fell in love with Yu Dayou at first sight and always wanted to marry him. I wonder if what happened in the capital last night is related to this? "
