130.Chapter 130: The Trap of Foiling
"Yue Niang, is this true?" Wang's eyes were red, and he hurriedly caught up, clinging to Princess Changning's Rouyi with tears in his eyes, "Is Jingxing really safe and sound?" Haven't they already been tried and found out that they were framed? So how can he come back tomorrow? How could the three divisions detain him in Dali Temple for the night? β
"The second mother can rest assured, it's just that this case is about the reputation of the two cousins, and it is not convenient to publicize it, so Grandpa let the third division be tried secretly in Dali Temple. Come to think of it, it is also for this reason that the second father is tight-lipped. Princess Changning smiled lightly and comforted her, and her eyes fell on Princess Anxing behind her, "Just now, cousin Jingxing also asked her to send good wine and food, saying that she wanted to celebrate with cousin Xuanqi." β
The Wang family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the eldest princess of An Xing put away her smile, and continued: "Amitabha, but I was in a hurry and scared my second sister-in-law. Fang Cai is indeed too reckless, it's mine, the second sister-in-law, please forgive me. Originally, after the horse returned home, he got the exact news and then mentioned the matter to his second sister-in-law. β
"You are also worried about Jing Xing and Xuan Qi...... Wang naturally didn't blame her, patted her hand, and sighed, "I don't know if Jing Xing and Xuan Qi live in Dali Temple, will they be wronged." If it is so cold today, if they accidentally suffer from the wind cold, it will be enough for them to feel uncomfortable for a while. β
Princess Changning replied: "My son was also a little worried that they would not be comfortable this night, so I ordered someone to send a thick futon and a few fur clothes, and good silver frost charcoal. Thinking about it, the people in Dali Temple categorically did not dare to treat them harshly. If the second mother still wants to prepare some more things, she will bring them over when she returns to the palace. β
"It's fine." The Wang family immediately summoned the princess Gao, and after discussing with her for a while, he asked her to prepare things. Xu was still a little absent-minded when she spoke, and she obviously had no intention of entertaining guests. The eldest princess of Anxing said goodbye very interestingly, and the county lord of Xuancheng and Xin'an, who arrived in a hurry, took Princess Changning and sent her out of the inner courtyard together.
When the eldest princess of Anxing boarded the tired car, she suddenly looked back and looked at the three girls in front of her who were at the most wonderful age in her life. Among the three cousins, the county lord of Xuancheng is the eldest, and now he is about to turn sixteen years old, and he will be married in a few days; The lord of Xin'an County is also 14 years old, and he is looking at others; Princess Changning is the youngest, and the saint doesn't know how long he wants to keep her before he can rest assured that she can surrender.
I don't know what to think, Princess An Xing gently hooked the corners of her lips, and looked at her nieces with interest: "In the blink of an eye, you are all so old...... I cherish my life now, and after I get married, I don't have such an opportunity to spend such a leisurely time with my sisters. β
The three young girls were slightly stunned, and they all agreed with a smile. The eldest princess of An Xing said almost to herself: "Now I am like brothers and sisters, but I don't know what will happen in the future?" β¦β¦ Oh, the princess and the county lord, the status is very different. In a few years, what friendship will be left? β
The county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an didn't hear what she was talking about, but just looked at each other suspiciously. And Princess Changning, who had a keen sense of martial arts, heard it clearly-however, she also pretended not to hear it, and said with a smile: "After the second aunt goes back, ask my uncle what the whole story of this case is." Er really wanted to know what kind of grudge the official examiner Wai Lang and the two superintendents of the imperial history and the two brothers had feuds, and why they were framed. β
"Good boy, I want to know what happened." The corners of Princess Anxing's eyes were slightly raised, and she sat in the car with a smile.
After her tired car left, Princess Changning took the county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an back to the Wang family's bedroom. However, at this moment, the Wang family had long since lost his restless appearance, and his expression was much calmer. And there is one more person by her side - it is the eldest princess of Qinghe. The county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an were a little surprised, and they didn't know when this aunt arrived, so they hurriedly gave her a salute.
Princess Changning smiled and explained their confusion: "The third aunt came with me, and I just went to see the second father first, and I happened to miss it with the second aunt." "Even if she first knew that there was something going on in King Yue's mansion, it was not suitable for her to discuss the matter with King Yue. It would be more appropriate to ask the eldest princess of Qinghe to come forward. Moreover, perhaps there are more things involved in the secret conversations of the elders, which she should not know for the time being.
After the juniors officially greeted the ceremony, the Wang family was about to open his mouth to let them go to the side hall to play tricks, but the eldest princess of Qinghe shook her head very disapprovingly: "Second sister-in-law, in my opinion, you are indeed too fond of children." Now whether it is Jingxing, or Xuanniang (the county lord of Xuancheng) and Huanniang (the county lord of Xin'an), they have all grown up. There are some things that must be made known to them. Otherwise, credulity and ignorance are very likely to lead to catastrophe. β
Wang hesitated for a moment, sighed for a long time, and then said to the county lord of Xuancheng and the county lord of Xin'an, who were full of doubts: "Your third aunt is right, I have always taught you too honestly...... At your age, if you don't know something, you don't know what calamity you will be involved in in the future. As long as the Yue Wangfu is still there, there will always be some people who don't want our family to live in peace......"
Just when Princess Yue was solemnly teaching her daughter, King Yue also quietly arranged for his cronies to go to the Imperial Palace. The courtyard was very small, with little view, but it was only used by the masters for occasional rest, so the servants in charge of taking care of it were also people who were not very useful in the house. No matter how strict the screening of the servants in the Yue Wang's Mansion is, what is the use, an inconspicuous courtyard can trap him in a place of no return.
After thoroughly inspecting the courtyard, King Yue listened to the report of his cronies and decisively ordered someone to set fire to it, destroying all the evidence that had been planted. Then, put out the fire with great fanfare, so as not to harm the innocent people in the surrounding area. The courtyard burns and burns, and the betrayer dies and diesβbut if an innocent person is involved, his conscience is troubled.
When the cronies reported a qiΔshun lΓ¬, the king of Yue sat in the study all night, and entered the palace early the next morning to see the saint. I don't know what the two brothers talked about, but they actually hugged their heads and cried, and each went to court with red and swollen eyes, which caused many ministers to speculate.
Then, the sage and the king of Yue came to Dali Temple in person to watch the trial of the three divisions through the screen. Because of the presence of the two of them, the expressions of the chief officer of the three divisions, the right servant Xu Ye, and the concubine Cheng Qing were all much more dignified, and there seemed to be a majestic aura floating in the hall, which made those who were weak in heart all feel weak and fell to the ground in frustration.
After Zhang Kaogong's member Wailang and the superintendent of the imperial history were brought, Dali Siqing ordered someone to invite two county kings. The king of Xin'an County was dressed in a dark fox fur, and his bearing was calm, as usual. And the king of Tianshui County, who drank a lot last night, held his forehead, with a white face, and slowly moved into the lobby: "Cousin...... Wait a minute...... Deceitful? How can you drink so well? Do you drink all the water, and give me all the wine......"
Inside the screen, King Yue's forehead twitched, and he looked helpless. The saint couldn't help but glance at him, stroked his short mustache and laughed softly. The chief officer of the third division coughed, and Cheng Qing also glanced at him. But the king of Tianshui didn't notice it, moved to the side of the king of Xin'an county, and sat down with a bitter face: "It's over early, I'll ...... I'm really uncomfortable. β
Li Hui sighed, rubbed his temples, and made him drink some warm buttermilk. Seeing that the two cousins were busy with brothers, friends and brothers, thinking about the saint and the king of Yue behind the screen, Dali Siqing decided not to wait any longer, and immediately invited Master Xuanhui to the hall. After a while, a kind old mage walked in with a wooden staff, followed by two small novices with their hands folded.
It is said that this Master Xuanhui is already over his prime, but if you only look at his ruddy complexion and still clear eyes, he looks like a person in his forties and fifties. He once traveled to the Western Regions to learn the scriptures, which lasted more than ten years, and he did not know how many hardships and obstacles he had to go through, and finally returned with a full load. Moreover, he is not only fluent in a variety of Hu languages, but also the translated scriptures are also catchy and sung innumerable. Therefore, even many people who do not believe in Buddhism see him, and they also respect this old monk very much.
Therefore, with Master Xuanhui testifying, no one would dare to question that he was telling a lie, which was enough to win the trust of everyone in Chang'an City.
Hearing Dali Siqing mention the ninth day of the first month of November, Master Xuanhui almost didn't think twice, and said with a smile: "That day, Lao Qu saw the eldest princess of Linchuan and the eldest princess of Qinghe who came to offer incense in the morning. Both nobles listened to the old man's lecture and did not leave until after lunch. The king of Xin'an came to the Da Ci'en Temple in the afternoon. He said that he should have picked another day and came early in the morning, but he suddenly felt in his heart, thinking of the first emperor, so he thought of coming over to offer the Buddhist scriptures he copied on weekdays. β
The Buddhist scriptures copied by the king of the county have accumulated a lot, and such filial piety touched the old man's heart, so he left him to drink tea together. Because the old man and the king of the county had also played against each other before, as soon as the interest came, they talked about two more games. It wasn't until after the review that the night was dark, and the king of the county said goodbye and left the temple. β
"In addition to the mage, there are others who have seen the king of Xin'an?" Dali Siqing asked again.
"Of course, the apprentices and grandchildren around Lao Wei have all met the county king, and they also asked the county king for advice on how to play chess." Master Xuanhui said, looking lovingly at the two little novices beside him, "If it weren't for the fact that they felt that the King of Xin'an County was benevolent and easy to speak, and kept asking questions, they would not have left the King of County until late at night." Presumably, when the king of the county rushed back to the palace, the gate of the fang was closed. β
When the two little novices heard this, they both nodded: "I really bothered the county king at that time......
Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at the three prisoners, and then asked: "Can those two little masters recognize, which one is the king of Xin'an County?" β
The two novices looked at him, silently walked up to Li Hui, and saluted him with folded hands. Li Hui also returned the salute with a smile: "If you have the opportunity, discuss the way of chess with the two little masters." β
Li Jing squinted at them and couldn't help muttering, "It's just that I have time to play chess with the mage, and I still have time to guide these little monks." But he never had time to shoot and play polo with me...... Tsk......"
Li Hui stuffed the buttermilk cup into his arms and signaled him to drink the buttermilk raw, so there was no need to say more. Li Jing glanced at him quietly, and always felt that his cousin's tolerance for him seemed to be limited, so he drank obediently.
At this point in the trial, it is obvious that the two county kings have been framed. No matter who instructed the three prisoners, no matter how many things still need to be investigated, at least there is no need to detain the two county kings in Dali Temple. As a result, the king of Xin'an and the king of Tianshui finally gained freedom.
