After the Metropolitan Criminal Division brought the medical girl back, he deliberately explained to the person who was making trouble in front of the door, "The real murderer of Yang Santai's case was arrested, and Princess Xuan of Beiwangfufu is innocent." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The people who came early in the morning were covered with dust and dust, and the water and rice had not entered, where would they accept such a change, not only did they refuse to disperse, but also because they didn't know who said, "The government just caught a ghost for the dead." In an instant, the crowd was indignant.
Someone even said to the doctor: "Don't be afraid, girl, if you have a grievance, speak out, everyone here will definitely make decisions for you." Did this unconscious official arrest you to apologize for the people of the palace?"
The doctor girl looked at these people and replied lightly, "No one wronged me, I killed them." ”
Everyone looked at each other and bowed their heads for a while. Zhang Zhenming looked at these people in front of the door, straightened his waist, held his head high, and said in an official tone: "The prisoner confessed to the fact of killing Yang Santai, since the murderer is under the law, everyone can disperse." ”
"How much did the Beiwang Mansion give you to take the blame?" someone in the crowd suddenly asked the doctor girl in a loud voice.
As soon as these words came out, the crowd that had calmed down instantly broke out again, shouting in unison: "Severely punish the real culprit." ”
In the face of these people's demonstrations, Zhang Zhenming was really at a loss, and he couldn't stop scolding Diao Min in his heart. The master in the house gave him an idea, and immediately brought the doctor to the court for questioning, and let the troublemakers into the hall to observe.
There has never been a precedent for civilians to sit in on the trial, but it has to be done in the face of a crowd that is increasingly difficult to control their emotions. The officials on both sides said a majestic "might", and the hall was opened in a hurry.
The whole process of questioning the case can be said to be unusually smooth, and the medical woman described in detail the process of killing Yang Santai. The representatives of the crowd who were listening to all kinds of sharp questions, she answered them seamlessly, and everyone gradually accepted the statement that the doctor girl killed Yang Santai.
The medical woman was sentenced to death row and put on death row. Zhang Zhenming reported the file to the imperial court for approval, and the case was concluded. The crowd of troublemakers finally went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers, and the sensational murder case in Beiwangfu finally subsided.
In the afternoon, as soon as the file of Yang Santai's case was handed over, there was a decree coming down from above. After Zhang Zhenming saw the will, he immediately went to the Beiwang Mansion to meet Dongfang Xun. This is a murder case in the Beiwang Mansion, and the prisoner is also from the Beiwang Mansion, and when the case is over, he should naturally inform Dongfang Xun.
When he arrived, Dongfang Xun and Ye Su were discussing things in Qingxinzhai. Suddenly, the guards came to report to Zhang Zhenming asking to see him, the two looked at each other, Ye Su was hidden in the room, and Dongfang Xun was writing in front of the bookcase, waiting for Zhang Zhenming to come over.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Zhenming first reported the conclusion of the case and the sentence of beheading the medical woman.
"Is Lord Zhang here to tell this king?" Dongfang Xun wrote, without raising his eyelids. Dongfang Xun already knew about these things, and they were of no value to him at all.
"The lower official is here to inform the prince that the higher authorities have issued an order to behead the prisoner at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow. Zhang Zhenming secretly looked at Dongfang Xun, trying to read some information from his expression.
"So fast?" Dongfang Xun finally paused with the pen in his hand and put aside a piece of paper that had already been written.
"It is said that this incident has aroused public anger and has a bad impact, and it is necessary to quickly kill the people's grievances. Zhang Zhenming saw Dongfang Xun so indifferent, but he felt bottomless in his heart.
"It's just a murderer, and there's not much difference between killing today and killing tomorrow. Is there anything else Master Zhang would like to say?" Dongfang Xun suddenly looked at Zhang Zhenming, his eyes were like a sharp sword, trying to see him thoroughly.
Zhang Zhenming's eyes flickered, "Now that the case has been concluded, the offender will be beheaded tomorrow, and Princess Xuan's suspicion has been cleared." Xia Guan has reported clearly to the prince, I wonder what else the prince wants to know?"
"This king has been waiting for you to take the initiative to confess, but I didn't expect you to hide it until now. Do you think that if you have climbed a high branch, this king will have nothing to do with you?" Dongfang Xun slapped his pen on the table, and his originally lukewarm face suddenly became angry, and his voice rose steeply.
Zhang Zhenming shuddered, and knelt on the ground, "The prince forgives the sin, and the lower officials know that they are wrong." ”
"Since you know that you are wrong, you should not say it quickly. Dongfang Xun's anger on his face did not diminish at all.
Zhang Zhenming trembled and took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to the table. After Dongfang Xun took it, he slapped it on the case again, "You are so bold, you dare to draw a map of the Northern Palace." What do you want?"
The strength of this palm was obviously much greater than that of the previous one, and the inkstone turned over on the table and fell to the ground again, and black ink splashed everywhere.
Zhang Zhenming trembled again, and his voice trembled when he spoke, "The prince is angry, this is not painted by the lower officials." It was this morning that Wan Quande sent it to the lower officials, and it was he who asked the officials to come to the Beiwang Mansion to get people. ”
It's him again, I didn't expect Wan Quande to do this, and even the location of the dungeon of the North Wangfu has been figured out. Dongfang Xun's fists clenched, "Are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Zhenming was about to cry, "Oh, what kind of person is he, how dare the lower officials wronged him? The lower officials also asked the prince not to reveal this matter, or the lower officials would not want this black yarn." ”
Dongfang Xun calmed down, his tense face relaxed, and he said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, this king will not mention this matter to anyone." Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly became very fierce again, "However, if he asks you to do anything again in the future, you must report to this king immediately." ”
Zhang Zhenming nodded, "Yes! Yes!"
"Do you have anything else to say, if it's gone, just retreat!" Dongfang Xun asked.
"It's gone! It's gone! The next official retires!" Zhang Zhenming wiped his sweat and retreated.
After he left, Ye Su walked out of the inner room. Dongfang Xun handed him the map, and after he looked at it, he said: "There must be people in the palace who are all virtuous, and the prince must be extra careful in his actions in the future." ”
"This person will be able to find out sooner or later, so let's not talk about that for now. The doctor is going to be beheaded tomorrow, so you go and arrange things right away. Dongfang Xun's face finally had a trace of anxiety.
"Yes!" Ye Su retreated.
The afterglow of the setting sun was falling at the door, Dongfang Xun looked up at the big red fireball and breathed a long sigh of relief. Hopefully, there's still enough time, it's not too late.
That night, a grand banquet was held in the Beiwang Mansion to wash the dust for Dongfang Xun, who had returned from Shangyuan. The ladies dressed up and competed for beauty.
If you want to say that the most proud is Concubine Li, she is nauseous and retching from time to time, and the eyes of other jealous people are about to pop out.
During the banquet, no one dared to mention Sun Xuan's matter, only Dye Xiang asked Dongfang Xun with a smile, "Lord Wang, should Sister Xuan also be invited?"
This is where Dye Xiang is more powerful than other women, she can be like a worm in a man's stomach, what she says is always for the sake of others, and her own thoughts will never be easily known.
This sentence asked Dongfang Xun's heart, he palpitated for a while, and couldn't help coughing, "No need." ”
He couldn't help but take a few more glances at Dye Xiang, Dye Xiang has been wearing more and more plain clothes recently, which not only does not damage her beauty, but makes her take off her gaudy and add a beautiful atmosphere. The warblers and swallows in this room are not as fragrant as the corners of their lips and smile faintly.
She is still as careful as dust, she understands her own mind, and she still looks like the Holy Mother of the White Lotus, harmless to humans and animals.
Dongfang Xun had been quietly observing these people, thinking about what the doctor girl had told him, and trying to find out the person who framed Sun Xuan.
He looked around, and his gaze finally fell on Concubine Li. She has always been close to that person, if that person can't tolerate Sun Xuan and wants to kick her out of the palace, Concubine Nali is undoubtedly the best helper.
Thinking of this, he poured a sip of wine, whispered to Zhang An who was standing beside him, and then got up and left the table.
The ladies didn't know why, so they all looked at Zhang An. Only then did Zhang An speak: "The prince has official business to deal with, please continue." ”
The most embarrassing thing is Concubine Li, who has been sitting next to Dongfang Xun, she smiled at him, but he has been dealing with it indifferently, and he has not even shown a smile on his face.
Sometimes the eyes of the two inadvertently met together, but Dongfang Xun avoided them in disgust. Even when he was leaving, he didn't say a word to himself sitting next to him.
"I'll just say it! The relationship between the prince and her is not good at all. ”
Concubine Li seemed to hear someone whispering something, she glared at her, and the banquet was silent.
