Mi Huang had been quietly listening to the accusations of all the courtiers, and even when he saw that their mouths were dry, he ordered Si Qin to bring someone in to add tea for them.

Seeing that the princess was so polite and polite, it was not as fierce as at the beginning, and gradually quieted her voice, thinking that she was beginning to soften in the face of the pressure of the ministers, and was even ready to admit her mistake and apologize.

Even Ruo Ao Ziliang's complexion improved slightly.

Lao Situ also thought that she was afraid of the attack of the whole family, so she eased her color, and stepped forward to persuade her, "Princess, the old minister knows that you and Xiao'er have some suspicions due to official duties, and the old minister apologizes to the princess on behalf of the dog."

I also hope that the princess will not lose a big deal because of a small thing, and squander the prestige of the prince that she has built up with great difficulty on this small homeless case, and even let me and other families lose confidence in you. ”

Mi Huang listened to him calmly, and then bowed deeply to the ministers, which eased the emotions of the ministers present.

I only heard her voice calmly ask, "Then may I ask my lords, how can this lady maintain the prestige that a prince should have?"

Seeing that her attitude had improved, Lao Situ bowed slightly, and returned the salute with the courtesy of a monarch and minister, and replied, "My Chu country has no children in this generation, and the princess should be the deputy master."

The deputy lord should not be in the rivers and lakes, but should live in the high temple, inherit the will of the ancestors, sweep away Kyushu, sweep the eight wildernesses, and return to the heart of the Wan clan.

All of our clans are willing to belong to the princess, and I hope that the princess will respect and value her, rather than be distant and alienated.

Otherwise, wouldn't they be forced to go against the principles of heaven and act against human feelings?

The ancients said: Those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die.

The princess of Wanwang obeys the will of heaven. ”

Li Laoruo, Ao Ziliang and other ministers all shouted and worshiped in unison when they heard this: "Our clan is willing to belong to the princess, but I wish the princess to respect it!"

A good sentence "Those who follow the sky prosper, and those who go against the sky die!"

Mi Huang also had to admire this old minister of the Three Dynasties who was cautious in the court-Lao Situ, who was really famous.

It's just that he means that the wish of the clan is the will of heaven, and those who go along with their will will get their lives, and those who go against their will will get their lives.

Mi Huang asked again, "Then dare to ask how this princess should conform to the hearts of the ministers of your clan?"

"Daughter, Chen Tingli has no evidence to prove that my son has violated the law, and he should be released immediately, this is justice and freedom in the hearts of the people, and it is also for the sake of respect for our important ministers of the clan, and for the sake of respecting the results of the trial of the three divisions of the exile case, this case is now drawn and terminated. Old Situ replied like a stream.

When Lao Situ's words fell, all the people present nervously focused their eyes on the woman standing on the gate, fearing that if she nodded and agreed, their wish to find their relatives would immediately come to naught.

Mi Huang said, "Oh...... What does Lord Situ mean that as long as Chen Tingli has evidence, he can take people?"

He didn't hear the change in Mi Huang's tone, nor did he see the change in her expression.

Old Situ frowned slightly and nodded hesitantly.

Mi Huang smiled when he heard this, suddenly changed his tone, looked at Lao Situ and Ruo Ao Ziliang, and asked rhetorically, "Then how do you know that Chen Tingli has no evidence witnesses, but just listens to the words of Zheng Guoxian's family, and arrests people at will?

As soon as these words came out, the alarm bell in Lao Situ's heart rang out.

He suddenly realized that Mi Huang was digging a hole for him according to his words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately smiled and looked at her as a woman and said, "What do you mean by the lady?......

Yes is yes, no is no.

If the princess is still convicted and arrested by virtue of Zheng Guoxian's criminal words, is it true that we are the important ministers here, as long as they bite us, we can be arrested at will?

Is this still a way of respect?

So please also ask the princess to give other evidence and even witnesses, otherwise don't blame me for waiting for the king, the princess's negligence. ”

"Then tomorrow, Lord Situ, Lord Sima, and Ruo Ao Sima, please three of you early, and the three divisions will be interrogated again to see if this lady can come up with solid evidence. Is there now any, there is no comment, this lady still has important things to do, so she will leave first. ”

Mi Huang smiled, ordered Huang Yuwei to open the way in front, and at the same time turned his head to the soldiers and horses of the five cities and said, "Captain Liu, you still don't release Chen Tingli for this princess? Do you want to have no one to try the case with Ruo Ao Si tomorrow!"

Liu Yi hesitated slightly, glanced at Ruo Ao Ziliang, and asked for his meaning with his eyes.

If Ao Ziliang hesitated, looked at the princess who had been smiling at him, and even owed him the gift of his nephew and daughter-in-law, and finally nodded slightly, "Let Chen Tingli go first, if Chen Tingli can't produce evidence tomorrow and there are no new witnesses, this Sima will definitely sue him for abusing his power." ”

The ministers weren't sure whether she really had evidence or not, or if she was just stalling for time.

But Lao Situ knew that if he didn't stop it at this time, he really let her come up with evidence, or torture to extract a confession successfully, then Situ Nan would be finished.

Immediately annoyed and angry, "Lady, you can collect evidence and try the case, but you can't torture innocent people at will, and torture them into tricks!"

The ministers seconded.

"Okay, Situ Gongzi, I won't torture him!"

Mi Huang nodded in agreement, but when he walked past Lao Situ, his footsteps paused, and with his tall figure, he whispered in his ear, "But this lady wants to see if he can live to see the sun tomorrow." ”

"What do you mean?"

Old Situ's voice trembled slightly.

Mi Huang smiled faintly, and when he heard the words, he paused for a moment, and whispered with a little disdain on the corner of his mouth, "Old Situ, as long as this case is tried in advance, Chen Tingli has enough evidence to prove that what Ao Duwei said before is false evidence, so no matter whether Situ Gongzi recruits or not, he will definitely be punished for the crime of accomplice."

Once he subdues the Fa, who is the most unfavorable, you and I must know in our hearts.

And who caused the accident of Situ Gongzi the night before......

Lao Situ is such a smart person, Ling Zi is confused, you are definitely not confused!"

Then he walked away with a smile.

"Lady ...... You...... It's just a mess!"

Lao Situ was frightened by Mi Huang's words and was incoherent, and finally could only say such a sentence.

The ministers gathered around him, and when they saw that his face was pale, they asked what the princess had said, but he did not dare to answer.

Mi Huang got into the palace car, nodded and smiled, "Say that this lady is messing around, then we will see you in court tomorrow, and we will see you in court the day after tomorrow, and find my father to make a judgment on this case!"

Lao Situ finally flicked his sleeves angrily, "Okay, my colleagues are here to testify, the day after tomorrow, I must find the king to ask for an explanation, whether you support it or not, how can such a princess become the future of the country, a woman is not suitable to be established as a prince, if it is allowed to continue, my Chu country will be in chaos, and the universe will be turned upside down!"

When the ministers heard this, they bowed their heads one after another.

The attitude of the lady just now really didn't take them seriously.

They had obviously warned her, but she was still so unsightly as a woman, how could their major clans have any place in the court in the future?

Wouldn't she be led by the nose by a woman?

Even the King of Chu didn't dare to do this!

Seeing that the yamen of the prison division suddenly made a noise.

Ruo Zike stepped forward and persuaded him, "I can understand the feelings of all the adults, so this case, we will talk about it in court tomorrow, this official here really can't be the master today, but since the princess promised not to force a confession again, why don't Situ Gongzi leave him in my prison department for another two nights? If he is not guilty, he will definitely be acquitted in the end!"

He spoke comfortingly, as if he wanted to put the matter down for the time being.

In fact, he knew in his heart how could the ministers be sent away by him in a few words, and naturally he would think again, this case will only get bigger and bigger, in the end?

All the Maotou will only be aimed at his eldest brother and his second sister-in-law in the end.

It's really getting better and better.

He couldn't wait until tomorrow to find out......

……

When Mi Huang sent Chen Huang back to Chengfu, Cheng Qingqing saw Chen Huang coming back in embarrassment, with bruises and red swelling on the corners of his face and mouth, and all the clothes on his body were removed, holding his face and shouting, "Chen Huang, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you again?"

"You tell me, I'll ask my eldest brother to make the decision for you!"

"I hurt Chen Huang, I didn't expect Situ's energy to be so great, and he instigated the entire family to suppress this case. ”

Mi Huang said indebtedly, and said that the courtier's mutiny that happened in front of the prison department today, if it weren't for her, Chen Huang would not have been involved in this court dispute, let alone become the target of public criticism because of his status as a cold man.

Chen Huang touched the corners of his mouth that had been touched by Cheng Qingqing, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain, "Tap...... Tap ...... Qingqing, it hurts!"

"It hurts, and what kind of majesty are you doing outside?"

Cheng Qing angrily held the green jade fingers, slammed his elm head, and scolded, "In front of so many family adults, you said that you caught Ruo Ao Yuejiao to relieve your anger, but you also shouted that even the son of Li Lao had to be arrested, you are stupid! Li Lao's family is well-known for their popularity in Yingdu." ”

"You're not guilty of public wrath, what's it?"

"On weekdays, didn't I remind you that there are those family lords in Yingdu, don't you offend easily? You have to know that it is still very easy for them to step on you to kill a little cold door, especially now that the second brother is not here, the eldest brother wants to protect you, and then he will have to spend some effort to get you out of the prison of Sima Mansion!"

Cheng Qingqing scolded Chen Huang again.

Cheng Daxin also disagreed, "Ah Huang, you are really reckless today, it is good to stand up for the people, but you also have to take care of yourself! If you are suspended, there is really no possibility of overturning this case." ”

Chen Huang wrinkled a bitter gourd face, "I didn't want to do it today, but I was blocked by those family doctors on the door, and they were all forced to do this, if I confessed on the spot, wouldn't this case be even more difficult in the future! There are only two days left, how can I do it if I don't fight?"

"Call you stupid, you're still getting fat!"

Cheng Qingqing glared at him, then pressed him into the chair, "Sit down, I'll give you medicine." ”

Chen Huang grinned under her gaze, and then sat down obediently.

Cheng Qingqing asked the doctor on the side about the method of applying medicine, pinched a bamboo skewer wrapped in cotton cloth, lightly lit the liquor, and wiped the bruises on the corners of Chen Huang's mouth, and he screamed even more in pain, "Qingqing, can you do it...... No, let's call the doctor boy, he tapped his hand......"

Cheng Qingqing was angry when she heard this, "Who said I can't do it?"

So the hand was heavier.

Chen Huang's tears fell straight from the pain.

Cheng Fei stood aside, frowning, and asked Li in a daze, "Mother, why was the fourth uncle beaten up today?" Is it because he didn't do a good job in the Criminal Prison Division, so he was beaten by the superior, just like I didn't go to class well and was beaten by the Taishi. ”

Li wanted to say no, but Cheng Qingqing took the first step to pinch his little face when she heard this, "Your fourth uncle was beaten not because he didn't do things well, but because he worked too hard!"

"If you work too hard, you will be beaten?"

Cheng Fei couldn't understand it at a young age, and unconsciously touched the palm of his hand that was beaten by the Taishi today, it was red and swollen, and his little face was wrinkled, "Then do I still have to study hard in the future?"

"Hard work naturally requires hard work, but you can't learn from him so stupid, you have to know how to judge the time and seize the momentum. ”

"What is the power of the judge?"

Cheng Fei is puzzled.

"Judging the time and seizing the power is that for example, if the Taishi said today that you did not do your homework well, you should immediately admit your mistakes, so that you can avoid being beaten by the ruler; ”

Cheng Qingqing said matter-of-factly, Dayou had the rhythm of leading the child crookedly, and was pulled away by Cheng Daxin's calm face, "Fei'er, don't listen to your fourth aunt's nonsense, schoolwork, no matter when, study hard, it's naturally right." It's just that sometimes it's right or wrong, not by whether you're punished or not. ”

"Oh......"

Cheng Fei looked blankly at Chen Huang, who was punished for colliding with the striker, screaming in pain, so what does his father mean to work hard?

Looking at the appearance of the fourth uncle, he worked hard, and the fight hurt even more.

On the other hand, Cheng Daxin had already walked out of the flower hall alone with Mi Huang and went to the study to talk about tomorrow's triage of the three divisions.

"Lady, do you really want to try this case in advance?" asked Cheng Daxin.

"Well, now that the wild dogs have completed their deeds, the sooner the public trial is held, the more it will give them a kind of confidence that we are bound to gain, so that they will be terrified day and night, and they will inevitably make mistakes in their busyness, so they can take advantage of it. ”

Mi Huang nodded and said, "On the contrary, the more we drag it back, the more it shows that we have no evidence in our hands to bring down the more pepper." ”

"But now Situ Nan still refuses to confess, what should I do?"

Cheng Daxin thought that their initial plan was to plot against Situ Nan, but this guy was really hard-mouthed, and coupled with Lao Situ's efforts to obstruct the ministers in every way, the case encountered unprecedented pressure and could not be advanced.

The woman stood in front of the window in the sunset and looked at the northern sky and said slowly, "The colt once told me that in this world, there is a situation everywhere.

There is a bureau between the princes, a bureau between the families, a bureau between the noble and the low, and a bureau between the civil and military...... Some bureaus are rules, and some bureaus are made, created to achieve a special purpose.

Today, Master Situ and the power of the family force me to comply.

This is the "game" he created.

If we are afraid, we will obey his heart.

So this time we also have to create a game, which is more powerful than him, and makes him more afraid, because he has a weakness, and that is Situ Nan's life. ”
