Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard King Yu's tone and smelled the gossip in it, and they waited excitedly to start eating.
Chu Siqing: [My father is so strong! 】
Han Wanqing thought to herself: He is still a man.
Princess Yongfu panicked for a moment and then immediately calmed down.
"What did you say I did?"
She had dealt with all the people who handled the dog, so she didn't believe that King Yu could find out anything.
Chu Hongle's eyes were burning: "The princess was walking in the courtyard when she was about to give birth. Suddenly a dog jumped out and hit the princess, causing her to be frightened and giving birth, almost killing two people."
After a pause, he continued: "I secretly investigated for a long time, and then I found out that you deliberately let someone in that dog!"
He stared at Princess Yongfu and said coldly: "Yongfu, human life is at stake, how could you do such a thing?"
When everyone heard about such a big melon, they all looked at Princess Yongfu with reproachful eyes.
Oh my god!
How dare Princess Yongfu murder Princess Yu!
It almost killed two people! So vicious!
Feeling the strange looks around her, Princess Yongfu panicked and blurted out: "Nonsense! This matter has nothing to do with me at all!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "What evidence do you have! Don't just want to slander me with empty words!"
Chu Siqing had already learned the details from the system.
【Father! She used Cuixi, the maid next to her, to buy rat poison from the blind man Zhang in Nancheng, picked up a wild dog, fed it with the medicine, and then bribed Wang Er, the groom who delivered the bucket, to bring it to the palace! 】
[Both Cuixi and Wang Er have been sold far south by Princess Yongfu! But Zhang, the blind man who sells rat poison, is pretending to be blind. He knows Cui Xi’s face! 】
Chu Hongle immediately became more confident and said to Princess Yongfu: "Of course I have evidence!"
He turned around and ordered loudly: "Come here! Go and arrest the blind man Zhang who sells rat poison in the south of the city!"
Several palace guards filed out and took the order: "Yes!"
Upon hearing "Blind Zhang", Princess Yongfu's heart suddenly beat wildly.
After Cui Xi finished doing something for her, she was afraid of making mistakes so she knew everything about it before selling Cui Xi and Wang Er far away!
Of all the people who handled this matter, the only one left was "Blind Man Zhang".
But he was just a seller of rat poison, and he couldn't see anything. How did King Yu know about him?
Princess Yongfu couldn't figure it out and felt vaguely uneasy.
That's all, anyway, that "blind man Zhang" couldn't see, so he couldn't say anything even if he thought about it.
Thinking of this, Princess Yongfu calmed down again. She wanted to see how Prince Yu would put this matter on her head today!
The guards at Prince Yu's Mansion were extremely efficient in handling matters, and they brought Blind Zhang to the Prince's Mansion in just a cup of tea.
Two guards held an old man's left and right arms respectively, pushed him to the ground and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Yu has something to ask, please tell me honestly!"
The old man was in ragged clothes, with white eyes and dull eyes. Hearing this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty... Sir, if you have anything to say, just ask. I will never lie to you!"
He was kowtowing hard, but in the wrong direction. He actually called Princess Yongfu "Prince" next to him. He was obviously blind.
Everyone looked at the poor blind Zhang and couldn't help but start muttering.
"This old man can't see anything!"
"Yes, how could he be a witness?"
"Didn't the prince seek medical treatment because of his illness?"
…
Princess Yongfu listened to the whispers of the people around her, her eyes were smug, and she said to King Yu: "Brother Wang, are you going to find a blind man to be a witness?"
She took out the handkerchief, covered her mouth with a smile: "If you want to accuse me, why bother?"
Before anyone could react, Chu Hongle suddenly pulled out his sword and quickly stabbed the blind man Zhang in the eye.
When everyone thought that blind Zhang was going to be killed on the spot, the old man's white pupils suddenly burst out with light, and he nimbly avoided the sword.
Among the crowd, I don’t know who reacted first.
"He's not blind at all!"
Hearing this man's cry, everyone was in a state of enlightenment.
"The blind man in this picture is actually pretending to be blind!"
"I just said that the prince must act with reason!"
"This old man is so cunning!"
…
Princess Yongfu looked at what was happening in front of her, and her face suddenly turned pale!
If she had known, she should have dealt with this blind man as well!
Chu Hongle looked at Princess Yongfu's face and mocked: "Yongfu, are you afraid?"
Princess Yongfu insisted: "What am I afraid of? I'm just a liar pretending to be blind!"
Several guards over there have pinned the blind Zhang firmly to the ground again.
Chu Hongle snorted coldly and turned to question: "You dare to pretend to be blind in front of this king. What crime should you deserve?"
The blind man Zhang was already crying and begging for mercy: "My lord, please spare my life! This little one is just trying to make ends meet!"
He knocked his head so loudly that it made a loud banging sound: "Please give me a clear warning!" The young one has only sold rat poison and has never done anything harmful to nature! "
In order to find evidence, Chu Siqing specifically searched the system for information about Blind Zhang:
[The blind man in this picture was originally a painter who loved to look at beautiful women. Later he was kicked out for offending a nobleman. He had no income and no other talents, so he thought of a way to pretend to sell rat poison in the south of the city. 】
[Those women saw that he was old and blind, and sympathized with him very much. Most of them bought medicine from him. Blind man Zhang took the opportunity to take a peek. If there was anything beautiful, he would draw it on paper and keep it. 】
[Father, that Cuixi is very beautiful, likes to wear green clothes, and has a red mole at the corner of her eye. Blind Zhang has seen Cuixi, so he will definitely draw it secretly! 】
Hearing his daughter's thoughts, Chu Hongle couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He coughed and asked Blind Man Zhang: "Do you remember that a month ago, a maid in green clothes with a red mole at the corner of her eye came to you to buy medicine?"
Blind Zhang had an impression of the woman, but the situation in front of him was clearly related to the nobles present, and he could not afford to offend any of them.
He rolled his eyes and said vaguely: "My lord, please forgive me. I sell dozens of packs of rat poison every day. I really can't remember the customers from a month ago."
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Chu Hongle had no choice but to tell the hidden truth in public: "Blind Zhang, you were a painter. You always like to look at beautiful women. After you see them, you will draw them on paper. The portrait of that maid is in your home. Keep it, right?"
Seeing that such a private matter was revealed by King Yu, Blind Zhang was immediately shocked.
He didn't dare to hide it anymore and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, forgive me! Yes... there was such a maid. I really didn't remember..."
Seeing Blind Zhang admit it, everyone started to spit on him.
"Tsk! This old man is so wretched!"
"You are so old and still like to look at beautiful women!"
"Fortunately, the prince is aware of everything!"
…
Chu Hongle looked at the already crumbling Princess Yongfu and asked, "Yongfu, what else do you have to say?"
