After being forced to marry by her stepmother, Koi's lovely wife prospers the whole family

Chapter 544

After drinking tea, Concubine Li returned to the palace with the sword spike given to her by Du Bangchun and told the emperor about it.

The emperor was sending someone to find out Zhou Ruiyuan's whereabouts, and when he looked at this sword spike, he was shocked and hurriedly held it in his hand, "Where did this thing come from?" he asked Concubine Li.

Concubine Li replied: "Go to the Zhou Mansion today, and the shopkeeper Du will give it." The

emperor clenched the sword spike and said: "This sword spike is owned by the Shi family's guards, and it seems that the man in black was sent by the Shi family." "

Shi family?" Concubine Li wondered.

This Lord Shi was one of Lord Lu's protégés in his early years, and later because he followed the Wu family to report the merits of the Lu family, he entered the court as an official, and he has been favored by the emperor all these years, and he has been an official to the third grade.

Because he was not as arrogant and domineering as other officials in the court, the emperor never doubted him.

The emperor put the sword spike on the table and said in a cold tone: "I didn't expect my emperor to be tied up, and it was actually related to him."

Concubine Li was stunned for a moment, she recalled Du Bangchun's words, as well as her demeanor at that time, and suddenly realized.

It turns out that this sword spike is used in this way.

Concubine Li was very willing to help with this, "Your Majesty, Lord Shi is so bold that he even dares to tie up the prince, isn't that a conspiracy?"

The emperor's face became more and more heavy, and he thought deeply for a long time with his hands behind his back, "I will investigate this matter carefully." "

Lord Shi's original name was Shi Dongfu.

At the beginning, he was the most inconspicuous protégé in Lord Lu's mansion.

In the past few days, assassins have been sent to Zhou's house every day, wanting to attack Yi'er and Yu'er.

Although they didn't know who kidnapped Zhou Ruiyuan, they had long been prepared for the killing of His Royal Highness the Prince.

As soon as the crown prince died, the remaining little emperors and grandchildren naturally had to be eliminated.

He wants to exterminate the queen's vein.

As for why this little official was so vicious to them.

It also originated from a piece of pastry more than twenty years ago.

Lord Lu had three pastries in his hands and gave them a piece of the third prince and the emperor who were still princes at the time.

The remaining piece will be given to his most proud protégé.

But he gave it to Lord Zheng and didn't give it to him.

Shi Dongfu has always felt that he is talented, thinking that Lord Lu will be his Bole, and a piece of pastry makes him feel that Lord Lu looks down on him.

Therefore, he hated Lord Lu, and by virtue of being Lord Lu's protégé, he said a lot of remarks in front of the emperor that Lord Lu looked down on the emperor.

This also made the emperor more and more jealous of Lord Lu later.

Now that he has always put himself out of the way as a third-grade official, and now that Zhou Ruiyuan and the queen are going back to the palace, he can't sit still, so he thought of dealing with the Zhou family, and

Du Bangchun gave the sword spike to the emperor.

The emperor immediately regarded the Shi family as a rebellious minister, and casually found an excuse to arrest all the old and young of their family.

Shi Dongfu knelt down to the emperor and kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, it's really not the prince kidnapped by the minister, and the minister doesn't know where the prince went." The

emperor didn't believe it, threw the sword spike to him, and said sharply: "Then what about this thing, why is it in the Zhou Mansion?"

Shi Dongfu looked down, his face turned pale with fright, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know where this thing came from." With

a wave of the emperor's hand, several guards covered in blood were pressed over, "You must know these people, right?" The people of the Criminal Department have made it clear that you sent people to the Zhou Mansion and asked them to take advantage of this opportunity to kill those good emperors and grandsons.

Shi Dongfu's body stiffened, looking at the guards covered in blood, he couldn't argue, so he had to obediently respond.

The emperor snorted coldly and said: "Now you have nothing to quibble, don't you have the intention of rebelling against the emperor and grandson who plotted against me! I will give you a chance first, and hand over the prince immediately, otherwise your family of more than 100 people will be killed!"

Shi Dongfu trembled with fright, and begged for mercy again in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the minister really didn't kidnap the prince, and he didn't have the heart to rebel, the emperor! For the sake of the minister's loyalty, let the minister's family go." The

four words of loyalty were bitten very hard by him, in order to remind the emperor that he also had credit for the events of the past.

However, the emperor is suspicious by nature, and he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than let one go.

"Someone came to take Master Shi down for me and questioned him until he told him the whereabouts of the prince. "

Yes, Your Majesty!"

a group of tall and mighty attendants strode over and pressed Shi Dongfu down.

Shi Dongfu struggled and kept shouting at the emperor, but unfortunately it was useless.

At this moment, their Shi family, like the Lu family, is about to be beheaded by the emperor, but unfortunately he is not as decent as Lord Lu.

He also had to be taken to prison to be tortured.
