Murong Huaide knew that the Criminal Department arrested Ji'an and never handled this case just to let Dong Rong come forward, and Murong Huaide also understood that they were persecuting Dong Rong so much, just to force Dong Rong to be impulsive, to commit a crime, and then Concubine Bo came forward to bewitch the emperor, so that the emperor thought that Dong Rong had insulted the royal majesty, cut off Mrs. Yipin's life, and even took her life.

No matter which one it is, it is the result that Concubine Bo and others want to see.

After Dong Rong appeased Ji Anniang, she went to the backyard alone and sat on the stone bench to meditate alone. She didn't notice that the dead leaves that fell from the big tree next to her fell on her.

Murong Huaide walked up to Dong Rong and hugged Dong Rong into his arms, "It's going to be fine." ”

Dong Rong said weakly: "I can't live with Luzhu anymore, I have already let Luzhu's mother lose Luzhu, how can I let her lose Ji'an again?" ”

Murong Huaide sat aside and asked the maid to pour Dong Rong a cup of tea.

Murong Huaide shook Dong Rong's hand and analyzed for her: "Concubine Bo, their purpose this time is obvious, they are coming for you. As long as they haven't broken us, Ji'an's lives will not be in danger. Ji'an is the only useful hostage they hold in their hands, and they won't kill Ji'an lightly. ”

Murong Huaide looked at Dong Rong's exhausted appearance and was very distressed, "I will accompany you, don't worry too much." If it was in the past, you wouldn't have lost your sense of proportion like this, although Ji'an was stupid, but he had a body of martial arts, and ordinary people couldn't hurt him. ”

Dong Rong also sighed: "This time I was completely flustered, I couldn't be rational when I thought of Luzhu, you are right, I should stay sober and accompany Concubine Bo to the end." ”

The next day, the Criminal Department sent a message to Ji'an's mother to the Criminal Department.

Finally, there was no need to suffer anymore, Dong Rong hurriedly brought a few first-class martial arts people, dressed up in disguise and accompanied Ji Anniang to the criminal department.

Master Gong of the Criminal Department sat high in the public court, with a majestic face, which made Dong Rong feel extremely ironic, pretending to be majestic, but doing the most unseemly deeds and disregarding people's lives.

Dong Rong led a group of people over, and Lord Gong was looking at who it was, so he heard the next person next to him say that Princess Dong was here.

Lord Gong hurriedly got up from his chair, walked to the middle of the public hall, and saluted Princess Dong who came over.

"Lord Gong, I heard that you summoned Ji Anniang, so the palace followed."

Dong Rong leaned over and looked at Master Gong, who was saluting him.

Lord Gong's messy thick eyebrows frowned together, and he said in a stern tone: "It is the honor of this official that Princess Dong personally came to see this official to try the case, and this official will definitely try the case strictly and not let the murderer and lawbreaker go unpunished." ”

"What Lord Gong said is too reasonable, murderers and criminals must be severely punished, but I don't know when Lord Gong will be able to judge the real murderer and give innocent people a clean slate." Dong Rong chased after her.

Lord Gong's heart fluttered secretly, he had never dealt with Dong Rong, he only thought that women like the princess were weak and competing for favor, but he didn't want Dong Rong to come to the court of the Criminal Department, he spoke loudly, and there were no gaps in every sentence, which made him feel a burst of pressure.

However, Lord Gong has been in the court for so many years, so he reined in his thoughts and immediately said: "Princess Dong may not be very clear about this case, and the murderer in this case is the fool named Ji'an. ”

"Oh?" Dong Rong said casually: "It turns out that this is how Lord Gong tried the case?" Before the case was tried, and the individual was directly convicted without even collecting evidence. Ji'an is stupid, but no matter how stupid a person is, he will not allow others to falsely accuse him at will. The people of Great Qi did not allow it, the emperor of Great Qi did not allow it, and the laws of Great Qi did not allow it. ”

Lord Gong's heart sank secretly, he didn't expect this Dong Rong to look soft and weak, and she spoke so sharply and didn't give people a way out. A trace of panic flashed in Lord Gong's heart, Lord Zongzheng, who had interests on weekdays, said that he would let him judge a fool, he thought that this matter could not be simpler, so he agreed without thinking too much. But I don't want to, there are people like Princess Dong behind this fool.

Lord Gong pretended to be calm and said: "Whether it is wronged or not, we will know in the first trial later." ”

Dong Rong said: "Master Gong is reasonable, get up." ”

Lord Gong sat back in the public hall, and hurriedly ordered someone to find a side seat for Dong Rong.

"Somasa-sama has arrived—"

Before the voice fell, Master Zongzheng threw up his sleeves and entered the court with a stern face.

Lord Gong didn't expect Master Zongzheng to arrive in person, so he hurriedly looked at Lord Zongzheng with puzzled eyes, wondering what was going on with this qiē, a fool killed someone, how could he still bring out a princess Dong? Then Master Somasa also came.

Lord Zongzheng didn't seem to see the look that Lord Gong handed him, but said in a cold tone: "Concubine Bo and the emperor heard that someone from the imperial family was planning to cholera law and order, so they ordered the official to come here. Lord Gong, has there been cholera law and order for the emperor's relatives recently? ”

Lord Gong hurriedly got up from the chair that was not yet hot, saluted Lord Zongzheng, and said in embarrassment: "Back to Lord Zongzheng, there is no cholera law and discipline for the emperor's relatives recently. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lord Gong reacted, if you say that the emperor is a relative of the country, isn't there one sitting in the public court now? So he hurriedly said to Master Zongzheng: "If Lord Zongzheng doesn't believe it, please sit down and listen carefully." ”

Lord Zongzheng nodded, and then looked surprised as if he suddenly saw Dong Rong, "It turns out that Princess Dong is also here?" Did someone from Princess Dong's family commit something? ”

Dong Rong said casually: "It's just that someone has wronged the people in the palace, and the palace came to take a look." Master Zongzheng is really busy, and you are everywhere. ”

"Princess Dong has won the award, serving the imperial court, and it is the duty of this official to take charge of the royal relatives for the imperial court. Although Princess Dong is a relative of the emperor, this official believes that Princess Dong is by no means the kind of person who interferes in the handling of the case by the Criminal Department in order to shield her own people. After Lord Zongzheng symbolically saluted Dong Rong, he sat on the chair next to Dong Rong under the arrangement of Lord Gong.

And Ji'an's mother knelt in the center of the hall, her eyes were red and swollen, and her energy was not good, and occasionally she thought of the sad place, and her tears couldn't stop falling.

Lord Gong summoned someone to take Ji'an to the court.

After a formulaic interrogation by Lord Gong, Dong Rong understood the reason for the matter, and that day Ji'an went home to see his mother, but saw a few people who looked like officials pulling and pulling with his mother, as if he was going to take his mother somewhere.

Dong Rong understands that it is too easy for Lord Zongzheng and the people of the Criminal Department to take away an ordinary person, and he can find an excuse at will.

And Master Zongzheng also expected that Ji'an, who already had martial arts, would make a move.

Ji'an shot wounded the three officials.

"Lord Gong, it's not that Bengong deliberately wants to hinder you from handling the case, but the other is that Bengong has been listening to it here for so long, and I don't understand it." Dong Rong suddenly interjected.

Lord Gong was displeased, but he couldn't ignore Dong Rong's words, "Why don't you understand?" ”

Dong Rong glanced at Ji An, who didn't know what was going on, and then said to Master Gong: "Lord Gong, you also said in the trial just now that Ji An just injured the three officials, why did he kill someone when he saw Ji An?" Lord Gong, although the palace lives in the palace and doesn't know much about handling cases, the palace also knows that the most important thing in handling cases is evidence. Lord Gong, what do you say? ”

Lord Gong's face darkened, isn't this Princess Dong blaming him for interrogating people without telling the evidence at all! But after all, Dong Rong is a relative of the emperor, and in terms of royal blood, the bloodline of her husband, King Zhongshan, is purer than that of the current emperor.

Master Gong suppressed all kinds of displeasure in his heart and replied: "It is an unmistakable thing for Ji'an to hurt people, and as for the evidence, of course there is. ”

After that, he called the villagers and one official who saw Ji'an injuring three officials that day to the hall.

The two villagers had gray hair, and when they arrived at the court, they trembled all over, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their eyes to look at Lord Gong, they just lowered their heads.

After the two villagers saw Ji Anniang, they didn't dare to greet her, for fear of causing more trouble to themselves.

When Ji Anniang saw them, she instantly became excited, and begged them to tell the truth for their children and save Ji'an.

The two people immediately collapsed on the ground in fright, and hurriedly broke free from Ji Anniang's pull.

Lord Gong angrily slapped the wood and asked for silence.

Frightened by this, the two villagers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lord Gong.

Dong Rong hurriedly comforted the two villagers, telling them not to panic, as long as they said the real situation they saw word for word, and they could not add fuel to the fire, and if they made a slight mistake, it might affect the entire situation.

Lord Zongzheng coldly replied to Princess Dong: "Princess Dong, this official is thinking, are you threatening and hinting at the two old men or something?" ”

Dong Rong also replied to Lord Zongzheng, "Could it be that Lord Zongzheng thinks that these two villagers should not be based on the truth?" Or did Master Zongzheng or someone else explain something to the two villagers? ”

Lord Zongzheng's face was turned green by Dong Rong's words, and he couldn't find the right words to refute Dong Rong for a while, so he had to snort and ignore Dong Rong.

Under the guidance of Master Gong, the two villagers told everything they saw that day.

Master Gong asked again, "Did you really see Ji'an kill those three officials with your own eyes?" ”

The two villagers hesitated and said: "Ji'an did beat three officials, and the beating was quite heavy, and the three officials vomited blood when they fell to the ground, and the blood was vomited everywhere on the ground, and even Ji'an himself was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly ran away." ”

Ji Anniang and Dong Rong's eyes were shining, these two villagers' words were too important.

Master Gong also knew how much the words of the two villagers affected the case, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Master Zongzheng coughed lightly and said to the two villagers: "You have to think carefully and carefully, but don't say anything wrong." ”

Dong Rong looked at Lord Zongzheng, her eyes exuding a cold light, "Lord Zongzheng, do you think that as Lord Zongzheng, you can rely on your identity to influence the judgment of the Criminal Department?" Master Sosho, don't forget what your duty is. ”

Zong Zheng turned his head and glanced at Dong Rong coldly, "Of course this official knows that no matter what kind of royal relatives and relatives he is, as long as he violates the law of the country, this official will bring that person to justice." ”

"It's good that Lord Zongzheng still remembers his duties, and don't affect Lord Gong's case. Bengong has been listening to it here for so long, and he also feels that Master Gong is a good official who pays attention to evidence, and he admires him when he speaks with evidence. Dong Rong said and looked at Lord Gong: "Lord Gong, please continue to try the case, this palace is very curious, since Ji'an did not kill those three officials, who killed those three officials." Lord Gong, this palace is also curious for a while, worried about what is unknown behind this case. If Master Gong investigates this case well and handles it well, the emperor will definitely not treat you badly. ”

Dong Rong's words were talking about Lord Zongzheng's weakness, Lord Zongzheng's eyes dodged, the sharpness just now was completely gone, and his eyes were a lot more panicked. However, in order to hide his panic, Master Zongzheng only cared about bowing his head and drinking tea. R638
