Chapter 133: All of them have good calculations
Hui Chengyuan looked at the case record handed over by the master, looked at Chu Xiang and said: "Since you don't admit it, then go to Guo's house and search. It just so happens that this prince also has great doubts about the cause of General Guo's death."
"General Guo died in the Guo Mansion, so there must be something in the Guo Mansion that contributed to General Guo's death."
"Someone is coming..."
"No, I admit it." Chu Xiang interrupted quickly. If someone really went to search Guo's house, she would definitely not have a good ending.
"I asked Guo Zhong to take those cattle and sheep away from various farms in the name of Guo Sen at 10% of the price."
Hui Chengyuan asked coldly: "Oh, why do you want to do this? What do you need so many cattle and sheep for?"
After the questioning, they would order people to search. The more they were not allowed to search, the more problems there were.
What's more, he already knew there was a problem, so how could he not search?
Chu Xiang looked up at him, then at Zhang Huai and said, "Someone threatened me that if I didn't send 100,000 cattle and sheep over, he would kill me."
"I was afraid, so I did what the other party asked."
"I didn't dare to spend too much money, so I came up with this idea."
"So, General Guo found out what you did, and you killed him?" Hui Chengyuan asked while she was slightly dazed.
"No..." Chu Xiang shook her head and paused before continuing, "I didn't expect my husband to die, otherwise why would I send the cattle and sheep over in such a way that would be easy for people to catch me."
Hui Chengyuan looked at her and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Yao Manman asked loudly: "Your Highness, do you mean that Chu Xiang is the murderer of my uncle?"
At once, everyone looked at her.
Hui Chengyuan raised his hand, and the soldier guarding the door immediately let Yao Manman in and enter the lobby.
Yao Manman bowed to Hui Chengyuan and said, "Your Highness, I am Yao Jing's daughter, and Guo Sen is my uncle."
"My uncle's birthday is coming up in a few days, and I'm here to celebrate and visit my two cousins."
"I never thought that I would find out today when I entered the city that my uncle had passed away for many days, but we had not received any news, not even my two cousins."
As she spoke, Yao Manman looked at Chu Xiang and asked sharply, "Chu Xiang, why did you hide the news of your uncle's death? What is your purpose?"
Chu Xiang was stunned. She didn't expect that her niece would suddenly appear.
"You said you were the ex-wife's niece, so you are?"
Hui Chengyuan said calmly: "She is the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter."
Yao Manman's cheeks turned slightly red after listening to his introduction.
Chu Xiang was stunned for a long time before muttering, "I, I kept it a secret because I was afraid that the Guo family would kick me out of the Guo Mansion."
"I'm pregnant, and I'm afraid that greedy people might have bad intentions, so I kept it a secret."
At this time, the people who went to search Guo's house also came back and presented the things to Hui Chengyuan.
When Chu Xiang saw those things, he jumped up and pounced on them to grab them.
The palace guards immediately arrested her.
"No, no..." Chu Xiang watched Hui Chengyuan open the envelope, and her whole body collapsed.
After Hui Chengyuan finished reading all the letters, he looked at Chu Xiang with cold eyes.
"What do you have to say about this?"
Chu Xiang shook his head.
Hui Chengyuan said coldly: "Then tell me why you want to kill Guo Sen."
"I, I didn't want to kill him. How could he kill him?" Chu Xiang shook his head.
"He was poisoned after accidentally eating the tea that I wanted to use to poison Guo Zhong. He is my support, and I am pregnant. How could I possibly kill him?"
Hui Chengyuan pointed at the packet of medicine and asked, "Where did this poison come from?"
This poison must never be circulated in Anguo, so any way it gets into Anguo must be nipped in the bud.
Chu Xiang looked up at him and said, "My personal maid Xiangyun found it. I don't know where she found it."
"Oh, she also gave me those letters after receiving them. I relied on the letters she passed to that person."
Hui Chengyuan waved his hand and Ling Feng immediately went to catch him.
"Whose child is it?"
"What?" Chu Xiang looked at him in surprise.
After Hui Chengyuan came, Zhang Huai, who had been very quiet, immediately tensed up.
It is true that he has feelings for Chu Xiang, but he also doesn't want to ruin the rest of his life because of a woman.
Hui Chengyuan raised his eyes and glared at her, "Whose child is this in your belly?"
"What do you mean? Of course it belongs to my husband. What does Your Highness want to do? How can you slander me? How can I live my life in the future?" Chu Xiang retorted with a red face.
Hui Chengyuan sneered, "Do you still want a future?"
"You killed a second-rank official and oppressed the people. What kind of future do you want?"
Chu Xiang shook his head repeatedly, "No, Guo Sen ate it by mistake, I didn't kill him."
"Besides, I'm pregnant with his child. This is his root. You can't do this to me."
Hui Chengyuan said, "So what?"
"Someone, take her to the dungeon."
"No, no, spare me, I really didn't kill Guo Sen..." Chu Xiang's voice gradually faded away.
Hui Chengyuan looked up at Zhang Huai, saw him sweating profusely, and lowered his eyes.
Yao Manman moved her feet. She was a little unsteady on her feet. She had never stood for so long before.
Looking at Hui Chengyuan, seeing him lowering his eyes to look at the thing in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
Soon, Xiangyun was brought here. After interrogation, it was found that she was just a middleman, and the other party gave her the Poro poison just in case.
She didn't want to give it to Chu Xiang at first, but Chu Xiang gave her so much.
But Hui Chengyuan didn't believe what she said. If Chu Xiang wanted to poison the housekeeper, why did Guo Sen just come back at that time and drink the cup of poisoned tea? It couldn't be such a coincidence if no one planned it.
But some things cannot be tried in front of everyone, so she was detained.
Hui Chengyuan glanced at the people gathered outside the hall, turned around and went into the back court to interrogate Xiangyun in person.
Yao Manman wanted to chase after him, but this was the government office and she couldn't chase him to the back hall.
"Go and find out where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives."
"Yes." The maid responded quickly.
Hui Chengyuan used a lot of tricks to pry open Xiangyun's mouth.
It was indeed she who designed Guo Sen, but she also did so under orders.
As for the person who ordered her, the one called Jin Khan, she was just an informant and didn't know much.
It was just that I overheard a little information when delivering tea, which was where one of the iron mines was.
But one good thing is that Guo Sen doesn't know about Jin Khan's existence.
Hui Chengyuan looked at Xiangyun's confession again and thought about it carefully. It seemed that Xiangyun told Jin Khan about the iron mine. Jin Khan knew that he could not persuade Guo Sen to rebel, but if he wanted to get the iron mine, the only way was to kill Guo Sen and then let Chu Xiang take over the iron mine. In this way, he would have the opportunity to control the iron mine.
The reason why Xiangyun took action at this time was that she wanted to make good use of Chu Xiang's strong purchase of cattle and sheep to try to clear herself from the matter.
Unfortunately, ever since she provided the poison, she couldn't get out of it.
They all make good calculations.
After knowing that there were no more informants in Chicheng or even Xizhou, Hui Chengyuan locked Xiangyun and Chu Xiang together and executed them in three days.
After dealing with these matters, he left the yamen directly.
