Concubine Li's body was covered with a white cloth and carried back to the Metropolitan Criminal Division by two errand officials, Zhang Zhenming had already received the news, and he had been waiting in front of the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Seeing that the errand officer carried the corpse over, he stepped forward with a solemn expression and lifted the white cloth covering Concubine Li's corpse.

After reading it, he gasped, whispered in the master's ear, and then went to the table to write angrily, and the book folded the paper and handed it to the master. After the master took it, he tucked it in his sleeve and instructed the messenger to send the corpse to the Beiwang Mansion.

Subsequently, I, Zhang Zhongwen, Liuzhu, and the homeless man who led the arrest to the broken temple to arrest people were taken to the lobby of the Metropolitan Criminal Division. Liuzhu either cried on the road, or abused me and Zhang Zhongwen.

According to her words, I guess there are two possibilities, one is that someone pretended to be me and Zhang Zhongwen and killed Concubine Li, tied up the beads and threw them behind the Buddha, and let her testify against me and Zhang Zhongwen as witnesses. Of course, this is too technical, as they most likely used disfigurement.

The other is simple, that is, Liuzhu is lying, and she is being instructed by others to frame me.

Because Zhang Zhongwen was involved, the mastermind behind the scenes made good use of this. It doesn't seem so easy to prove that I have nothing to do with him now. In the past and now, people seem to be happy to see a woman who does not obey women's morals, so that they can spit on them and highlight their nobility.

When I got to the front of the hall, I shouted, "Kneel!", and the other three people all knelt down, but I naturally didn't have to kneel.

Immediately afterwards, Liuzhu pointed at me and Zhang Zhongwen and complained sharply, "My lord, it was they who killed Concubine Li, please do justice for Niangniang, and ask them to pay for their blood debts!"

"Princess Xuan, this..." Sitting in front of the table, Zhang Zhenming's brows were already twisted into a big pimple, and he looked at me. An old fox like him, who has read countless people, is the best at reading the eyes of others, and he can see it as long as you are a little shaken.

I was open in my heart, so I met his gaze without fear and replied categorically, "Concubine Li's death has nothing to do with us. ”

Hearing my words, Liuzhu cried frantically, "You lie, you lie! It's you, and you, because the adultery between the two of you was broken, so you killed my mother and tied me up to sell to human traffickers." I saw it with my own eyes. You killed the mother. ”

Zhang Zhongwen couldn't help but retort, "Don't slander Princess Xuan, we are innocent." ”

Liuzhu sneered, "Innocent? Isn't this a joke! You guys went to the ruined temple in the middle of the night to do some shady deeds, and you still have the face to say that you are innocent?"

Zhang Zhongwen's face turned red, and he wanted to refute, but was persuaded by me, "Zhang Zhongwen, the so-called clean person is self-purifying, you don't have to argue with her anymore." ”

"Above the court, don't be presumptuous!" Zhang Zhenming was so noisy that he slapped the hall in shock, and the hall immediately became quiet.

Liuzhu sneered, but I didn't care, and said to Zhang Zhenming: "Lord Zhang, I want to ask Miss Liuzhu, what did she and Concubine Li run to the broken temple in the middle of the night?"

This is a suspicion in this case, and I think that when this suspicion is solved, many things will be clear.

Zhang Zhenming also echoed and asked, "That's it, Liuzhu, why do you and Concubine Li also go to the temple?"

"I—" Liuzhu couldn't answer, because she didn't know at all. The reason why Concubine Li wanted to go to the ruined temple in Xicheng was only because she received a letter after dinner, and as for the content of the letter, she did not know. But she immediately thought of a reason again, looked at me with resentful eyes and said, "Niangniang must have known about the ugly things you did, so she went to break the temple." ”

In fact, it is very far-fetched to say that it is for such a reason, if it is for this purpose, she can't just take Liuzhu alone. She went to destroy the temple, apparently for another purpose.

At this point, I've pretty much sorted out the whole thing. I think it all happened under the man's design, and Concubine Li and I were both framed by her. Her methods are really vicious, and in order to get to the top, she actually achieved such a point.

Then Liuzhu turned to Zhang Zhenming and said: "My lord, when they murdered Concubine Li, the slave maid was by her side, and she saw it clearly. There is all the evidence and material evidence in this case, there is no need to try it at all, just just break the body of the dog man and woman into 10,000 pieces!"

Zhang Zhenming pulled his face and said, "The verdict is a matter for the government, and you don't need to point fingers." ”

"The slave doesn't dare!" Liuzhu didn't have a good face, and stopped saying at the moment.

Looking at Zhang Zhenming's reaction, I think he didn't dare to take care of this matter, and he didn't dare to ask, what to do in the end, it probably depends on the meaning of the above.

At this time, the homeless man who knelt in front of the hall and was silent for a long time said: "My lord, this matter has nothing to do with the grass people, but now that the murderer has been caught, can the grass people leave?"

Zhang Zhenming glanced at everyone in the hall, and then ordered the officers, "Come here, put all these people in a cell pending trial." ”

The homeless man was not convinced, and shouted, "My lord, what does this have to do with the grass people? The grass people are just a police report, why should the grass people be locked up?"

As soon as Liuzhu heard that she was going to prison, she also shouted, "My lord, the slave is a victim, why should she be locked up?"

The officer put the stick in his hand on the ground, and the sound of the bang made everyone tremble, "What are you yelling about! Hurry up! Don't feel uncomfortable!", and everyone had to be honestly escorted to the cell.

The three of them were escorted to the front and left first, Zhang Zhenming came to me and said respectfully, "Princess Xuan, because of this important matter, I can only temporarily wronged the princess." Please understand the difficulties of the lower officials. ”

I smiled and replied, "I know this, please rest assured, I will cooperate." However, I have something to ask for help from Master Zhang!"

He said happily: "Princess Xuan just commands!"

I said directly: "I want to see the emperor!"

"This..."He hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaguan can only pass on Princess Xuan's words to the emperor, and as for whether the emperor is willing to see you, Xiaguan can't say for granted." ”

I understood what he meant, and said to him, "Please tell the emperor that I want to ask him for a reward, and he will naturally meet me." ”

"Please rest assured, Princess Xuan, the lower official will definitely bring the words. Zhang Zhenming secretly broke out in a cold sweat. I thought that this Princess Xuan was really a powerful character, the king of the north protected her so much, and even the emperor was involved with her, so she didn't treat her slowly. Don't look at the fact that there is all the evidence and material evidence in this case, it looks like a death case, and it may not be what happened in the end!

I smiled and replied, "There's Lord Laozhang!"

He smiled and instructed the servant, "Take good care of the princess, don't be slow!"

"Yes!" replied the officer, "Princess, please!" and led me to my cell.

Zhang Zhenming entered the imperial city non-stop and asked Dongfang Zheng for instructions on how to deal with it. After listening to Zhang Zhenming's back and forth, Dongfang Zheng was very shocked. Concubine Li died tragically, how would his father Jiang Zhenlou react?

Dongfang Zheng paced back and forth in the Taihe Hall a few times, and then said to Zhang Zhenming: "This case, the Criminal Division will leave it alone, you will immediately transfer the case to Zongzheng Temple." And this matter must not be leaked out, if the slightest rumor is revealed, you don't have to be the head of the department. ”

"Yes! Yes!" Zhang Zhenming wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "In addition, Princess Xuan said that she wants to ask the emperor for a reward!"

"I know, you hurry back and get things done!" Dongfang Zheng secretly thought in his heart, is she coming to ask for a reward now, does she want to save her life herself?

Zhang Zhenming replied with the word "yes", and before he retired, his father-in-law Fushun entered the Taihe Palace.

When Dongfang Zheng saw him coming, he knew that this was not good. But this Jiang clan's hands and feet are too fast, and he only knows about it.

Fushun saluted Dongfang Zheng, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked the old slave to pass on the decree." ”

"Since it is her old man's will, then announce it!" Dongfang Zheng lifted his robe and knelt on one knee.

Zhang Zhenming also knelt down, and Fushun read it angrily, "The Empress Dowager has a decree, Concubine Li's case will be handed over to Zongzheng Temple, and the Empress Dowager will try it herself, and the emperor must not interfere." Chin!"

"Grandson takes the order!"

"The minister receives the order!" The two voices echoing in the Taihe Hall were lonely, and the other worried!
