第188章 当年(二更)
沁阳郡主不动声色回了自己的位置,紧接着便听苏圩说道:“据说事发之前的某日,韩尧曾经亲自登门拜访叶恒,恳求他为韩桐求情。但双方似乎谈得并不愉快,当天不少人都能作证。”

停顿片刻,苏圩又道:“所以微臣猜测,韩尧手里可能藏有叶恒的把柄,并以此要挟他救韩桐。韩桐被判斩首后,叶恒担心韩尧受了刺激和他鱼死网破,索性先下手为强。”

如贵妃神色愕然:“把柄?什么样的把柄,竟让叶……这般在意?”

穆武帝冷哼:“韩桐犯了死罪,韩尧竟想让叶恒为他出面求情,可不是一般的有底气。朕倒是想知道,他这底气,究竟是哪儿来的?”

是个人都听出了穆武帝这话语中冰冷的怒意。

苏圩道:“回禀陛下,微臣之前已经审问过叶恒,但他什么都不认,始终简称自己什么都不知道,韩尧中毒一事与他毫无关系。不过,听韩家那些在场的下人说,韩尧当时曾经扬言,说叶恒与他兄长当年遭遇意外一事,颇有关联。”

一言落,众人惊!
叶恒被关,众人只当他和韩家有一些难以调和的矛盾,谁知道还牵扯这么多!

“你是说,叶铮?”穆武帝眯起眼睛,声音听不出息怒。

苏圩恭敬垂首:“是。”

穆武帝面色沉肃。

他之所以能立刻想起叶铮这个名字,还是因为之前马球赛上见到了叶初棠姐弟四人。

那时那景,实在是让人想记不住都难。

只是——

如贵妃反应片刻,看向穆武帝,低声道:“陛下,臣妾记得,那位叶铮叶大人,是在出了京城之后被流匪杀害的,一同出事的还有他的发妻与长子?不都说是意外吗,难不成……”

众人也是面面相觑,难掩震惊。

这什么意思?叶铮当年出事,和叶恒有关?

但他们不是亲兄弟吗!?

不少人忍不住低声议论起来。

“真的假的?叶铮的死,有叶恒的手笔?”

“不可能吧!?他们可是一脉相连的亲兄弟,而且我记得那时候他们兄弟俩感情挺好,叶恒怎么会做出这样的事儿?”

“那可不好说,人心隔肚皮,谁知道那叶恒是怎么想的?”

“这要是真的,那叶恒也太……要知道,当初他还是靠着叶铮,才调来了京城,并在这里站稳脚跟的啊!”

“其实我一直觉得奇怪,叶铮当初被贬,寒冬腊月一路沿着官道北上,怎么会那么凑巧,遇到了流寇?再者,那些人劫财就罢了,怎么连人也都杀了?这……”

慕容晔听到这,已经心急如焚。

再这样下去,只怕叶恒头上这脏水是真的洗不干净了!
“陛下!”

慕容晔忽而扬声,在宽阔安静的大殿内显得格外突兀,

“此事蹊跷,陛下三思啊!”

谁都没想到慕容晔会在这时候突然出声。

慕容阳回头看来,眸中惊怒之色难掩。

“阿晔!”

——这是什么地方!哪儿有他插嘴的份儿!
然而慕容晔却顾不上其他了。

他起身来到殿中,抱拳行礼,沉声道:“陛下,叶大人忠正秉直,绝不会做出当众杀人之事,这里面一定有什么地方搞错了,还望陛下明查!”

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
