Chapter 662 Young Master
Wei Zheng raised his head suddenly, with a pleading look in his eyes.
"Lord Wei doesn't know my background, nor does he know that I'm colluding with the rebels. This matter has nothing to do with him, so don't do anything to him."
Jiang Youzhen sneered, "Do you really think he doesn't know? As a family slave, any abnormality from you would alert him."
Wei Zheng shouted, "Jiang Youzhen, don't slander the imperial officials just to get a promotion. Lord Wei has never been involved in this matter. As long as you protect him, I will confess everything."
"You are very loyal to Wei Xiyuan!" The Fourth Prince said this with some envy. Even when he was imprisoned, he was still thinking about his master. Such a subordinate is truly rare.
"I'm afraid that my heart is misplaced! You were sold together with your father. You were still young at that time, so you naturally didn't know the talent for martial arts.
You are a servant, but you have been able to learn martial arts since childhood? I remember that your father was an outlier in the Sima family. He studied literature since childhood and never wielded a sword or a gun. Then who taught you these skills? And why did they teach you martial arts? "
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. There were too many doubts after analyzing it this way.
Wei Zheng wanted to argue, but he suddenly felt that Jiang Youzhen's words made sense. He had never been exposed to martial arts when he was young, and his father didn't know how to do it either, so why did Lord Wei find a master to teach him?
If all of this is judged as premeditated, doesn't it make sense? Thinking about it carefully, Wei Zheng was speechless for a long time.
"But Lord Wei treated me well." Wei Zheng hesitated for a while before saying, "In fact, he had already discovered my father's identity, but he didn't tell anyone.
He admired his uncle and said that our Sima family was full of loyal and brave people, so he felt sympathy for him. I worked hard to learn martial arts, hoping that one day I could kill the emperor and avenge my Sima family. "
"You Sima family are loyal and capable, but you don't know how to fight in the court. How do you know that you and your father were bought for today?
He asked someone to teach you martial arts, and since you happened to have an amazing talent, he worked even harder to train you. "
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. If he didn't use his brain, he would be schemed to death. In the court, there was so much deception and intrigue. How did those civil servants survive? Of course, it was strategy.
"Think about it. Have you ever been told about your life story before? I told you when your father passed away a few years ago, and then the rebels came to you. Is that right or not? How did they know your whereabouts?"
After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, Wei Zheng's face turned even worse. He had never thought deeply about it before, and even after knowing his life experience, he remembered that he had once saved the emperor who was visiting incognito, and he beat his chest and stamped his feet, thinking that he had lost a good opportunity and should watch the dog emperor die.
"Are you suspecting Wei Xiyuan?" The Fourth Prince finally found an opportunity to ask.
"But this doesn't make sense! Wei Xiyuan was accompanying the emperor at the time. If he hadn't asked Wei Zheng to protect the emperor, Wei Zheng wouldn't have done it. So why didn't he take advantage of the chaos to kill him? Wasn't it a good opportunity?"
After hearing this, Zhu Zhimin finally expressed his doubts. Others also looked at Jiang Youzhen. Really? Why?
Jiang Youzhen smiled slightly, "I didn't say that Lord Wei was a traitor. Your Highness and Lord Zhu forgot that Lord Wei was originally a member of the deposed prince's party. Whether he is playing both sides or has a dual identity, he is the only one who knows clearly."
The Fourth Prince did not think about it at all and said directly: "Come here! Arrest Wei Xiyuan immediately, seal off the Wei Mansion, and seal off all the relatives and relatives of the Wei family. No one can enter or leave without my order."
"Yes!" Zhu Zhimin immediately took the order and prepared to go out to assign tasks.
The fourth prince said, "The Beijing Guard Command has dispatched a hundred elite soldiers to assist the Dali Temple in handling the case."
Jiang Youzhen's gaze immediately turned to Fang Zhongyi, and saw that he looked excited and eager to try.
"Fang Zhongyi, take my token and pass on my order. Ask the commander to dispatch a hundred elite troops."
"Yes!" Fang Zhongyi immediately took the order and left.
Wei Zheng was still in shock and felt extremely uncomfortable. Wei Xiyuan treated him very well. He was about the same age as his father, and he respected and admired Wei Xiyuan.
But he didn't expect that everything was fake. The other party had been taking advantage of him and his father, and he was foolishly working for them.
"Wei Zheng, let me ask you again, do you know the origin of that child?"
Wei Zheng was too stupid, so he definitely didn't know much, but he might know something about that child.
"That child, is that the condition given by Huang Mintao?" asked the Fourth Prince.
Jiang Youzhen shook his head, "Yes and no!"
"What do you mean?" The Fourth Prince was puzzled.
"That child's origins are unknown, and now he's missing, which is very suspicious."
The fourth prince suddenly realized, and then said in shock: "Are you saying that those people dare to raise the young master of the rebel party under our noses?"
"We can't rule out this possibility, but we have to wait until we catch Wei Xiyuan."
Jiang Youzhen looked outside the cell and said, "Before that, we can interrogate Huang Mintao and ask for details."
The Fourth Prince now believed Jiang Youzhen's inference a little more, and said to the side: "Interrogate Huang Mintao."
Soon Huang Mintao was tied to the stool again, but he was now in low spirits and looked listless.
"Have you seen a doctor for him?" Jiang Youzhen asked, frowning as he looked at Huang Mintao, whose consciousness was a little fuzzy.
"I've already seen him. He prescribed some medicine, which I've taken."
"Wake him up!" Jiang Youzhen said without hesitation.
A bowl of water was quickly poured on Huang Mintao's face, and he slowly woke up. After seeing Jiang Youzhen and the others, he couldn't help but shudder, and then sighed deeply.
"I have explained everything I need to explain. What else do you want to ask?"
"I'll ask you a few questions and you just tell the truth." Jiang Youzhen just felt his legs sore. He glanced at the sitting Fourth Prince and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Ask me! I will tell you everything I know!"
Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide.
"Is there anything abnormal about the child in your house?"
Huang Mintao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "Because my wife didn't know he was not her biological son, she spoiled him a little. I can't say much, except that I often advise loving mothers not to spoil their children. Although I don't like it in my heart, I still provide him with good food and drink."
"Is there anyone in the mansion who treats him differently? The servants too."
Huang Mintao looked at Jiang Youzhen again, and this time there was a strange light in his eyes.
He recalled carefully, and then said: "That nurse treated him like the apple of her eye. She often said bad things about my eldest daughter in front of my wife, causing my wife to become more and more partial to her. Does this count?"
Jiang Youzhen and the Fourth Prince looked at each other, and Jiang Youzhen asked, "Anything else?"
Huang Mintao tried to recall, "There was another maid who served the child. She was not a born child. After she was bought, she somehow started to serve the young master. There were not many people close to the child. Besides being spoiled, she was also a little lonely."
