Chapter 64
The matter was urgent, Qin Shang explained the matter of the hunting ground to Shen Tao, and accompanied Song Yu to hurry back to the capital.
It was already dark when we arrived at the Song residence, and Steward Song waited anxiously at the door with a lantern. When he saw Song Yu and the others coming back, he greeted them and said, "Fourth young master, you are back. What do you think we can do with this?" ? The second young master, he..."
"Song Butler, let's go in and talk."
A group of people got off their horses, went into the hall and sat down, and Steward Song explained the ins and outs of what they knew.
Fu Qilin, the son of Fu Shangshu from the household department, was poisoned to death in the room of Miss Yujiao in Qingfenglou. The government arrested Yujiao and tortured her. After suffering, he spontaneously followed to the government.
This was a murder case, and the one who died was Shangshu's son, and Yujiao's confession, Song Yu felt his eyes darken, and his thoughts were in a mess.
"An accident happened in the Qingfeng Building, why did you take the Second Young Master away?" Qin Shang asked puzzled.
"Cough...cough." Steward Song looked at Song Yu and asked silently.
Song Yu nodded, there was nothing he could do to tell others, and it was at such a critical juncture that there was no need to hide it.
Steward Song made a bow to Qin Shang, and said, "Back to General Qin, this Qingfeng building was originally the property of our second son, but it's just for Miss Muyan to take care of it temporarily."
"..."
Qin Shang didn't know how to react. This second son of the Song family... is a brothel owner?
As far as he knows, although the Song family is in business, they have always been engaged in business, so they don't need to open brothels to earn these silver taels, right?Moreover, Song Yu himself is also handsome and out of the world, with an extraordinary bearing, he really doesn't look like someone who hangs out in Fireworks and Willow Lane.
Song Yu added: "Actually, my second brother opened several famous brothels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sister Mu Yan is the most famous flower head in Jiangnan, and also my second brother's confidante."
Qin Shang couldn't turn the corner for a while, this Song family... the family style is too strange, the four sons, black and white business affairs are all complete.
Although this matter is complicated, the key lies in that Yujiao. She confessed that she was instructed by the head of Qingfenglou, and she didn't know whether she couldn't stand the torture and beat her up, and she was afraid of taking responsibility so she pushed the matter to Qingfenglou, or was she ordered by others to deliberately set the blame?
The most troublesome thing is probably Fu Shangshu's only son who was poisoned to death in the brothel. I'm afraid even if it is found out that this matter has nothing to do with Song Yu, he will not let it go.
But I will protect it for sure, just meet my family.
Seeing that Song Yu was distracted by worry, Qin Shang ordered his servants to make some food, persuaded Song Yu to eat, told him to rest well, came to see him tomorrow morning, and then went out.
Song Yu couldn't sleep, but after lying down at night, he calmed down a bit and went through the whole thing. Although they don't have much information now, he knows the behavior of the second brother, and Qingfenglou will definitely not Do such things that kill people's lives!
That being the case, he was being wronged. I just don't know whether this person came for Song Yu or Fu Shangshu.
After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly caught a glimpse of the fish tank next to the bed, got up and saw that the two koi seemed to be asleep, not moving at all.He stroked the water lightly with his fingers, and the fish began to swim in circles with a whimper in the past two days.
Song Yu thought of Qin Shang, and thought that it was good that Qin Shang was there, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
Thinking of this, my heart is sweet, and I feel a lot more at ease.
After thinking about it all night, when he saw Qin Shang the next day, his eyes were black and blue.
Qin Shang sighed, knowing that he was in a hurry, he didn't talk about him anymore, and took him out after watching him have breakfast.
Song Yu and Qin Shang had just left when King Yu's car arrived.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yu." Song Yu stepped forward and saluted.
"Young Master Song, you don't need to be too polite, you are all your own."
After all, King Yu wanted to step forward to help Song Yu, but was blocked by Qin Shang.
Qin Shang supported Song Yu and said, "I asked King Yu to help me. Your second brother is locked up in the Ministry of Punishment, and the old guys in the Ministry of Punishment don't like me very much."
Song Yu couldn't care less about being polite at this time, thanked him and followed him to King Yu's carriage.
As soon as Song Yu and others arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, they saw Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment leading someone to greet him at the door.
He had vaguely heard about the relationship between Song Yu and Song Yu, but a mere attendant said that he didn't pay attention to him. He didn't want to be accompanied by His Royal Highness King Yu and Qin Jun to the Ministry of Punishment today. Don't ask about politics.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment welcomed several people in, and King Yu didn't beat around the bush, and asked about Song Yu's case directly. *You know there must be something strange in it.
Just waiting to be asked, I heard someone report: The prince has arrived~
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, the prince's coming at this time could not be related to this case, right?
After the prince came in, after a few people saluted, the prince cut straight to the point and said, "I came here today to investigate the matter of Fu Shangshu's loss of his beloved son under the order of my father. I hope you will cooperate."
"I would like to follow the emperor's will, and I will fully cooperate with you." The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments replied.
The prince turned his gaze to Song Yu again, and said, "I heard that Song Shidao's elder brother was involved in this case. I hope Song Shidao can distinguish between public and private. If your elder brother is wronged, the court will definitely not embarrass him."
Song Yu hurriedly knelt down and replied: "I will obey the will, I will definitely not use the public for personal gain, I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will deal with it fairly, and return my second brother's innocence."
The prince ordered Yujiao and Song Yu who were involved in the case to be brought up for questioning.
After a while, Song Yu was pushed in.
I saw that the prison clothes on his body were dilapidated, bloodstained all over his body, and his hands and feet were wearing heavy shackles. It was a bit difficult for him to walk, but he still straightened his back, looked forward, and looked at all the people present indifferently. People kneel down and salute.
The moment he saw Song Yu, Song Yu was already agitated. How could the second brother, who was always handsome and unrestrained, be tortured into this state?Besides, the second elder brother was injured all over his body, how much torture did he have to suffer, and how much suffering did he suffer?
Seeing Song Yu's expression from the side, Qin Shang secretly supported him and held his hand.
After entering the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he knew that Song Yu must suffer some hardships, but he did not expect that the Ministry of Criminal Justice would be so ruthless. Song Yu is just a scholar, and this injury may have killed him.
After Song Yu finished the ceremony, he knelt and looked up at the crowd. When he saw the prince, he was surprised for a moment, and immediately changed his smile again, comforting Song Yu in a calm and breezy way: "Oh, don't worry, since I was wronged, I believe you adults I will be able to clear my name.”
The prince squinted his eyes and looked at him. Although he was in an embarrassing situation, his body was full of scars, his face was pale and tired, but the arrogance in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Hearing that he could have stayed out of the matter this time, he was imprisoned only to protect a woman in a brothel, and some couldn't understand what kind of person this was.
