Dong Rong sneered in her heart, if she was an ordinary woman from a small family, as soon as she was frightened by these words, she might really admit the matter according to the meaning of Dazongzheng. When the time comes, people will get the handle, where will you lose money, I'm afraid that my life will have to be explained.

"Thank you Lord Somasa for reminding me, but this palace has not committed any crimes. This matter is sent to the emperor and the queen mother, the emperor is sage, the queen mother is merciful, and she will never wronged the palace. ”

Da Zongzheng didn't expect Dong Rong to be so soft and hard not to eat, and he was born with sharp teeth, which really made him feel angry that a fox bites a turtle and has nowhere to eat.

But after thinking about it, he was relieved again, and when he explained this matter to the nobleman, he was very well prepared. He didn't believe it, and he couldn't move this princess who had lost her support.

"Since you say so, it is better to preach the Lord of Suffering. You're not afraid of confrontation, are you? ”

"Of course," Dong Rong smiled coldly, "Bengong also wants to see who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard and dared to frame Bengong." It would be even better if you could ask who was behind it. Don't bother the big Zongzheng, the palace went directly to ask the emperor and asked him to be the master of the palace. ”

Dazong was weak when he heard this, but he still stiffened his back, and loudly ordered the eunuchs waiting on the side, "Go and bring the handymen of the inn up." ”

"Yes, sir." The two young eunuchs, who were very sturdy, walked down together when they heard this. Soon he brought in a young handyman in a coarse cloth shirt, whose face was a little pale, and whose legs were limp, almost dragged up by the arms of two eunuchs. He fell to his knees and began to tremble, not knowing how to speak.

Dazong scolded secretly in his heart, a fool who can't be on the stage! But his face pretended to be kind, and he asked gently, "Li Ermao, it was you who came to Zongzheng Mansion that day, and now Princess Zhongshan has been invited." Tell me about the events of that day. Don't be afraid, there is a law in the Great Qi statute that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. As long as you provoke iniquity, no one can escape punishment. ”

Li Ermao didn't know whether he had taken this reassuring pill, or knew that there was no way back when he came to this point, so he mustered up his courage and said quickly, "My lord, the small inn that day was the convoy that received this nobleman, and the villain, the shopkeeper and Liu San were busy serving. Liu San accidentally spilled hot water on the corner of the nobleman's skirt, and the nobleman was very angry and scolded for a long time at that time. The shopkeeper knelt down to make amends, and the little one thought that this was the end of the matter. As a result, on the second day, when he was feeding the horses, he suddenly heard someone screaming in the lobby in front of him, and peeked at the nobleman who was angrily instructing the guards to carry knives and kill people. The little one was frightened, found a hay pile and hid it, and then escaped death. The little one originally wanted to hide far away, but the shopkeeper has always been not thin on behalf of the villain, and the villain really couldn't bear to let him die without turning a blind eye, so he came out to sue. I also hope that Master Zongzheng will be the villain's master. ”

When Master Zongzheng heard what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head and asked Dong Rong in a loud voice, "What, Dong, what else do you have to say?" Quickly admit your guilt, and maybe you can reduce some of your guilt. ”

Seeing that they were so naked, Dong Rong took the inexplicable blame on herself, and she didn't hesitate at all, the anger in her heart was like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years, and she couldn't wait to erupt immediately. But she also knows that the more times like this, the more you must be calm, otherwise it will not fulfill the wishes of these people.

She raised her hand to pick up the teacup and dipped her lips to calm herself down with the coolness. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and asked lightly, "Lord Zongzheng, I don't understand what this is about." As soon as this person entered the hall, he didn't even look at the palace, so how could he insist that the palace ordered the guards to kill and commit murder? Did he have eyes on the top of his head, or could someone have told him? ”

Dazongzheng's face froze, and he glared at the miscellaneous servant fiercely, and scolded, "Why don't you hurry up and see what Princess Zhongshan looks like, don't admit that you're wrong!" ”

The miscellaneous servant raised his head tremblingly, only glanced at Dong Rong, then quickly lowered his head, and trembled in response, "It's this nobleman, it's she who ordered the killing!" ”

"Now, you don't have anything to say, do you?" Dazong Zheng curled the corners of his mouth proudly, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes.

Dong Rong was not nervous at all, and asked rhetorically, "Lord Zongzheng, what are you talking about?" When did the people of our royal family become so lowly? The princess of this palace is a dignified princess, just because a handyman came to the door to say a few words, she was directly convicted? Isn't that even inferior to ordinary people? ”

Dazong Zheng snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll convince you." ”

With that, he looked at the two eunuchs again, "Bring up the physical evidence!" ”

The two eunuchs responded and went outside to get a long knife and a gun, and threw them in front of Li Ermao. Dazong Zheng couldn't suppress the joy in his voice, stretched out his hand and pointed at the blood-colored knife and gun, and said, "Dong, this is the knife and gun obtained at the murder scene of the inn that day, and the word 'Zhongshan' is engraved on it, which is obviously from the Zhongshan Palace. What else do you have to say? Now that the human and material evidence is complete, you still don't admit your guilt! ”

Dong Rong frowned, but still responded unhurriedly, "Lord Zongzheng, if you kill someone, will you let the guards throw down the sword with their own mark?" Of course not, right? Then how can the guards of our palace be so stupid? This is obviously deliberately framed! ”

"Even now, you are still quibbling?" Dazong Zheng obviously didn't expect that Dong Rong would not eat soft and hard, and he would not admit his guilt to such a point. However, although he acted according to the nobleman's wishes, he still did not dare to execute a princess. So, the matter came back to square one, and he had no other way for a while.

However, he can't help it, and not necessarily others can't help it. Just when Dazong was talking to Dong Rong, one of the two eunuchs made a gesture at Li Ermao when everyone was not paying attention. When Li Ermao saw it, his face turned even paler, and his eyes were full of despair.

Dong Rong was really a little tired of this kind of nonsense, she put down the teacup, stood up and said, "Lord Zongzheng, if there is only these evidences, then the palace will not be accompanied." If you want to send the case to the emperor's book, the palace has no opinion. When the time comes, let's just talk to the emperor when we enter the palace! ”

"Presumptuous, who let you go! The case hasn't been clarified yet, so don't even think about going anywhere! ”

"What, does Master Zongzheng still want to stay in the palace for the night? The palace doesn't know, when did the Zongzheng Mansion also take the rights of the imperial family? ”

The two officials heard that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, and they both bowed their heads deeply, eager to get out of the cracks in the ground. They are not fools, from beginning to end of today's incident, it is that Lord Zongzheng wants to charge Princess Zhongshan on her head, and Princess Zhongshan is not a vegetarian, they are caught in the middle, and it is easy to displease both ends. But at this time, it is impossible to find an excuse to go out, so I can only be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and there is nothing I can do.

At this time, as if he was unwilling to be forgotten by everyone, Li Ermao suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Shopkeeper, Third Brother Liu, I can't avenge you, I'm useless." I'm coming to you, wait for me! ”

After speaking, he jumped up and slammed into the bookcase in front of the seats of Da Zongzheng and the two assistants. The book was made of sandalwood, hard and heavy, and there was a muffled sound when it was hit by Ermao. Seeing that Li Ermao had already fallen to the ground softly, red blood gushed out along the hole in his forehead. Soon, a stream of blood flowed on the ground.

Such a change really shocked everyone, and they opened their mouths for a while, not knowing what to do. No one knows, why did this Li Ermao suddenly become so resolute?

The two auxiliary officers subconsciously looked at Da Zongzheng, who was also surprised, as if a snake was swimming on his back, and the cold meaning penetrated his heart and lungs. Needless to say, there is another person behind this matter, and even Da Zongzheng is just a pawn of others.

The two of them thought so, and looked at Dong Rong again, with a touch of pity in their eyes. is so calculated, no matter how strong Princess Zhongshan is, I am afraid she will not be able to escape this lawsuit.

Dong Rong couldn't see everyone's expressions at all, at this time, her eyes were full of red blood streams, and she was disgusting as if she had eaten 10,000 flies. In order to deduct himself from a crime, a big living person who was still panting and talking just now was killed like this. She didn't understand, who did she provoke, whose eyes did she obstruct? At such a price, this is a life!

Dazong Zheng lived for a few more decades, and he was still a little anxious, and he was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, and after a few turns of his mind, he said, "Dong, now that the bitter master has proved with his life that what he said is true, you just can't quibble." come, lock up the Dong family for me, and wait until tomorrow to tell the emperor before leaving. ”

When the two eunuchs heard this, they immediately stepped forward to grab Dong Rong's arm. Dong Rong also knew at this time that this matter could not be settled lightly, so she slowly got up, waved her hand to open the two eunuchs who were close to her, and said, "Dazong is really calculating, and this palace is convinced." However, if it is not the crime committed by this palace, no one can wronged this palace. Tomorrow, we'll see you in the palace! ”

After speaking, she followed the two eunuchs out of the hall. Although Zongzheng Mansion does not have the right to detain, there is still a certain amount of punishment for those royal families who violate the precepts on weekdays, and there is no shortage of rooms for calm grounding.

The one that Dong Rong was brought was one of them, the room was very spacious, but there was no bed, only a table and two chairs, but the room seemed to be more and more deserted.

The two eunuchs sent her in, locked the door and left. Dong Rong took out a handkerchief and wiped the chair, and then sat down. She wants to think carefully about today's events, what is wrong? She doesn't understand that the black hand behind it, since he paid a life to frame her, there must be a backhand. It will never be put on hold for the time being, after all, tomorrow is before the emperor, as long as she opens her mouth to argue, things will say that there must be some changes.

Of course, if she can't speak, then
