It was only when the butler knocked on the beast ring on the gate of the palace three times in a row that the gate was opened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Who are you?" The gatekeeper of Duanjin Wangfu was well-trained, and although he was knocked on the door early in the morning, he did not show any displeasure.

But because he didn't know the face of the housekeeper in Song Lian's mansion, the porter didn't dare to open the door, but cautiously opened a gap and asked the identity of the visitor first.

Hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly handed over the greeting post in his hand, "The villain is the housekeeper of the Shangshu Song Mansion of the Criminal Department, and my family has something important to ask to see the prince, and I bother the little brother to pass it on my behalf." ”

The porter opened the post and looked at it, confirmed the authenticity, opened the door of the house, and said politely: "This housekeeper will go and pass it on for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, little brother." The butler nodded hurriedly.

"You're welcome." The porter politely replied, beckoned another porter to welcome Song Lian and them into the mansion, and he ran to find the chief steward.

Not long after, the chief steward of the palace and Yezhi came over together, and after the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Yezhi took Song Lian to the living room.

The maid served hot tea, and politely invited Song Lian to drink tea at night, "Lord Song, drink a cup of tea first, the prince will clean up and come immediately." ”

How dare Song Lian urge Mo Yao, even if he was in a hurry, he could only say: "The lower official is not in a hurry, please clean up and come to see the lower official again." ”

Ye Zhi nodded with a smile, "Then Lord Song will drink tea first." ”

When Song Lian heard this, he had to take a sip of the teacup first.

The tea making skills of the girls in Duanjin Wangfu are good, the water temperature is not hot or cold, and the entrance is just right.

Song Lian got up early in the morning and hurriedly washed and dressed, and then came directly to Duanjin Wangfu, he didn't even bother to drink saliva, and after drinking a sip of hot tea at this time, the whole person warmed up, and his beating heart slowly calmed down.

After a cup of tea, Mo Yao came over.

"Xia Guan has seen the prince, the prince Jin'an." Song Lian saw Mo Yao and hurriedly got up to salute.

Mo Yao gave a hand, "Lord Song doesn't have to be polite, sit." ”

With that, he also walked to the main seat, lifted the hem of his robe and sat down.

Song Lian didn't sit down immediately, but took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Yezhi, "Lord Qi, the lower official disturbed the prince's dream early in the morning, all because of this letter, and asked the prince to read it." ”

"Oh, is there anything strange about this letter?" Mo Yao took the letter from Yezhi's hand and asked.

Song Lian held back the sigh in his mouth and replied: "The prince knew at a glance that this morning the lower official was about to get up and go to the morning court, but the housekeeper suddenly knocked on the door and said that the house had received a flying arrow message. ”

Mo Yao's face condensed slightly, "The murder case should be tried by Lord Song, why did it come to this king, Lord Song ......"

Mo Yao suddenly paused when he said this.

Song Lian saw that Mo Yao's face had changed, and he knew that he had seen the key point, so he said: "If it is an ordinary life lawsuit, the lower officials will not dare to trouble the prince, but this murder case is a little complicated, and the lower officials can't make up their minds for a while whether to go to the Shilang Mansion to get people to look for evidence, so they came to ask the prince for advice, and also asked the prince to guide the lower officials." ”

Mo Yao put down the letter, and his face was even more solemn than Fang Cai.

After being silent for a while, Mo Yao asked Song Lian, "Master Song thinks this evidence is reliable?" ”

Song Lian looked at Mo Yao and did not reply immediately.

"Lord Song don't have to worry, you are an upright official, you have always been not afraid of power, this king is not the person who uses power for personal gain, Lord Song has come to discuss with this king, and I think I can trust this king, since you can trust it, then what is there to say directly."

"Yes, Lord Wang," Song Lian gritted his teeth, took a breath, and said, "According to the experience of the lower officials in judging cases for many years, this evidence, even if it is not very true, should have seven or eight points, the time and place, the cause and process, the human and material evidence are all very detailed, and it really does not look like a fake, but the lower officials also have a doubt, who sent such detailed evidence to the lower officials' mansion?" What purpose this person has, whether he has a grudge against Luo Shilang, or simply wants to bring the bad guys to justice, these are unknown, so the lower officials don't dare to draw conclusions at will, so they come to disturb the prince. ”

Mo Yao listened to Song Lian's words and nodded approvingly, "Lord Song is reasonable, and your suspicions are not false, but, according to this king's understanding of Lord Song, Lord Song is only afraid that he believes this evidence is true, Lord Song has always been strict in law enforcement, and he actually has an answer in his heart. ”

In this last sentence, Mo Yao said it a little ridiculously, and it seemed that he was just joking with Song Lian.

"This..."Song Lian smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, "The prince is wise, and the little bit of caution of the lower officials still can't hide it from the prince." ”

Mo Yao also smiled, then turned pale, and said: "Lord Song is right, praying for the law of the country has always been strict, Taizu emphasized when he founded the country and formulated the law, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if Luo Shilang really commits such a heinous crime, he must not be indulged!" ”

"Lord Wangming!" When Song Lian heard this, he immediately got up and bowed.

Before he came, he was still worried, afraid that the prince would not help him, so if he wanted to handle this case, there would be great resistance.

Not to mention that Luo Sheng and the prince also have an in-law relationship, even Luo Sheng's own identity is also a trouble.

Although Luo Sheng is just a squire, his daughter is now married into the Second Prince's Mansion, so Luo Sheng is also half of the royal family, and he has no definite evidence, and it is really impossible to search his mansion.

But if there is the support of Prince Duanjin, it will be different.

Luo Sheng is the second prince's father-in-law, and his status is superior, but he is not as high as the prince.

Not to mention that the prince is now the director of the state, even the princes, and they can also be punished.

That's why he came to ask the prince to come forward.

Fortunately, the prince is clear about right and wrong, and he did not shirk it because of his in-law relationship with Luo Sheng and Luo Sheng's identity.

"Then the prince, the lower officials will first go to the yamen of the criminal department, bring some people, and go to Luo Shilang's mansion to search."

"It's okay," Mo Yao nodded, "Lord Song is right to act according to the regulations, you go first, and this king will come later." ”

"Yes, lord." Song Lian bowed his head and said.

"Stop the night, send Lord Song out for this king."

Yezhi sent Song Lian out of the house and came back.

"Lord Wang, Lord Song will go to the Yamen of the Criminal Department to bring people again, this time and again, if there is too much noise, will it startle the snake?"

"No," Mo Yao shook his head, "Song Lian's case handling is the most truthful and evidence-based, if we don't let him find out the case according to the rules, our painstaking arrangement of this drama will be in vain." ”

Yezhi nodded knowingly and didn't ask any more.
