Zhang Ergongzi, isn't that Zhang Dongnian? Jiang You frowned and asked in surprise, "Didn't he stay in the Zhang family honestly?" How can you get into a murder case? ”

Ma Cheng wiped the sweat on his head, and said: "This slave doesn't know, I only heard that he accidentally killed the young lady of the Chen Sacrifice Restaurant, and now the Zhang family is making trouble." “

Jiang You was even more dazed when he heard it: "What's going on?" Isn't he discussing family affairs with the young lady of the Chen Sai Restaurant? Why did he accidentally kill her? ”

Ma Cheng smiled and said: "This slave really doesn't know, the person sent by the Zhang family to spread the word said so much, and he didn't say much about it." After a slight pause, he said in a low voice: "The Zhang family wants to invite you to take a look." ”

Jiang You frowned and said, "This is from my grandmother who sent someone to pass the word?" Old Madam Zhang is not such a measured person, she thought of Second Madam Zhang, shook her head unhappily and said: "The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and he has his own national law to deal with his own crimes, what do you want me to do?" ”

Although the Zhenguo Mansion is her uncle's family, but people are inevitably estranged from each other, she doesn't have a good impression of the second room of the Zhang family, and even has a lot of bad feelings, she is only worried about whether the people in the big house of the Zhang family will be affected.

Xue Yuan's expression was thoughtful, he went out to give a few orders, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Cheng Bei running over and saying something in a low voice, he entered the house and said slowly: "The emperor still has to go, even if he doesn't go, he has to preach the will to show his attitude in the past." ”

Jiang You thought that he would let himself not be contaminated with this matter, but he didn't expect to persuade himself to go over, and asked with wide eyes: "Why, is there something wrong?" ”

Xue Yuan's face was slightly cold, and his eyebrows were raised in the middle: "The Zhang family is now relying on the emperor's name to prevent the criminal department from taking people, and they also bring out the emperor to press the Chen Sacrifice Restaurant, wanting them to turn big things into small things." The Speaker and the Cabinet have already written an excerpt and are ready to play for you. ”

Only then did Jiang You know what it meant to 'sit at home, and disaster came from the sky', and he couldn't help but knock on the table with an inkstone with a headache: "That's it, I'd better go for a walk, I have to figure out what the hell is going on." ”

When Jiang You went to the Zhenguo Mansion, she knew that Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she fainted last night, and she woke up at noon today, and the first thing she did when she woke up was to order someone to tie up Zhang Dongnian.

Jiang You approached the main hall of the Zhang family, and saw Mrs. Zhang sitting on the Taishi chair in the main hall with a pale face, Zhang Donglan half-hugged her with a calm face, Zhang Dongnian was tied and knelt on the ground with her hands tied with a panicked face, and the second Mrs. Zhang knelt on the ground with her son in her arms with tears on her face, and kept pleading like Mrs. Zhang.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang You coming, she bowed to Jiang You with the support of Zhang Donglan with a shameful face, and pointed to the second Mrs. Zhang under the hall and said: "The old man knows that the second daughter-in-law abused the emperor's name to obstruct the criminal department from taking people when I was unconscious, and she also used my name to invite the emperor to come over. ”

As she spoke, she bowed and bowed, and Jiang You stopped her and said, "Grandmother is weak, so don't bow without moving, it's not your fault after all." ”

When Mrs. Zhang saw Jiang You over there, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she hurriedly walked a few steps on her knees, pulled the hem of her clothes and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save Nian'er, now only you can save Nian'er, the son of the Chen family has to put Nian'er to death, she is your cousin, Empress Zhang's own nephew, can you bear to watch him die so unjustly?!" ”

Jiang You took a few steps back, but he didn't avoid his hand, Xue Yuan bent down and brushed her hand away, and said lightly: "The second lady should let the second son explain the matter clearly first, and then it's not too late to talk about anything else." ”

Zhang Dongnian's already stiff and static face finally regained some vitality, rolled his eyes and said loudly: "I said I said!" ”

He glanced at his mother, his eyes shrank a little, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Miss Chen family in order to cling to our Zhang family, repeatedly seduced me, I accidentally let her get her hand for a while, I didn't expect the Chen family to use this as a threat, I had to let her marry in to be the wife of the Zhang family, I went to her yesterday, I wanted to explain things clearly to her, but I didn't expect her to pull me entangled, I was in a hurry, so I gently pushed her, I didn't expect her to hit her head on the stone pillar, I was afraid, so I hurriedly ran home." ”

Zhang Donglan couldn't listen to it anymore, and raised his voice and scolded angrily: "What kind of bastard words did the second brother say, it is obviously the young lady of the family who you took care of first, and it ruined the innocence of the people, why did you become the Miss Chen family in your mouth?!" ”

He felt that it was inappropriate for Second Lady Zhang to raise the emperor's name this morning, but she was the wife of the family and an elder, so she acted in spite of dissuasion, and now she reversed black and white in front of the emperor, he really couldn't see it.

Second Mrs. Zhang's face sank, and she suddenly collapsed on the ground and cried to Zhang Donglan: "Third child, what are you talking about?" Even if you and your third brother have some discord on weekdays, you shouldn't say this in front of the emperor, isn't this deliberately asking for your third brother's life? She turned her head to Jiang You and cried heartbreakingly: "What the emperor said Nian'er said is true, it is all a disaster caused by the woman of the Chen family, why do you want my son to pay for his life?!" There is no reason for this! ”

Jiang You listened to her nonsense, couldn't help but take a few steps back in disgust, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that Mrs. Zhang's face was pale, leaning her head back on the back of the chair, and her voice was weak, she sighed in her heart, shook her head and said: "Anyway, it's better to send people to the Criminal Department to check the whole story, I can't bend the law for personal gain, but it's still okay to guarantee a fair me, if your son is really so innocent, and he is not afraid of crooked shadows, why don't you send him to the Criminal Department?" ”

Second Mrs. Zhang's face was all paste, and her crying couldn't help but stagnate.

"Enough!" A loud shout startled everyone present, Old Madam Zhang leaned crutches, and her eyes scraped the cheeks of Second Madam Zhang fiercely: "It's all here, and I'm not afraid of any ugliness to be publicized." ”

She pointed to Zhang Dongnian, who was kneeling on the ground: "Are you a fool when everyone else?" I have great hopes for your son, I don't look down on the Chen family, I have the intention of climbing to the emperor, you tell your son day and night to be competitive, to climb higher, but he is a thing that is not angry, and he goes to Taixue to rely on a good skin and a good family background. As a result, the Chen family finally made trouble, and you sued your son again, and asked him to coerce the Chen family girl to quit this family business, the Chen family girl insisted on disagreeing, and he killed someone with hatred in his heart, is what I said wrong?! ”

Second Madam Zhang looked at her in a daze, Old Madam Zhang closed her eyes slightly, there seemed to be some sadness in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The people from the Donglan Chen family and the people from the Criminal Department are outside, right?" Invite them all in, and do whatever you want. ”

Second Mrs. Zhang looked at her son who was suddenly on the ground, and said sharply: "Mother! You can't do that! Nian'er is your own grandson, how much you liked him when you were a child, and you praised him for being smart and sensible when you met people, can you bear to force him to death now?! ”

Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes and ignored her, but the corners of her eyes couldn't help but tremble, and two lines of tears flowed down. Zhang Dongnian is not also her own grandson, she has also hugged and kissed and hurt, how can she not regret it in her heart?

But now the situation is there, although the Chen family is not as good as the Zhang family, but it is not a small family that can be rubbed by others, if you can't give them an explanation and blindly protect the shortcomings, then the Zhang family will lose in the hands of this mother and son. Besides, Miss Chen is also a human life, how can she pass away lightly because of her grandson?

Jiang You knew that she was known as the Iron Lady, although she was inexplicably involved, but now she felt uncomfortable when she saw Mrs. Zhang crying, and sighed: "Grandmother" didn't know what to say.

Old Madam Zhang barely opened her eyes and slowly bowed to Jiang You; "It just so happens that the emperor is here, so the emperor will order the people from the Criminal Department to interrogate this evil obstacle."

Second Mrs. Zhang used Jiang You's name to stop the Criminal Department from letting them take people, Jiang You had a reputation of 'even if he was a relative, he disregarded the law and discipline', but now Mrs. Zhang asked her to give an order in person, obviously to clear her name, so as to show that she was fair.

Jiang You frowned and didn't know what to say, Zhang Dongnian was so frightened that his body trembled, and he cried to Mrs. Zhang: "Grandmother, I am also your own grandson, you can't blindly help the eldest brother and the third brother to plan, disregard my life, why can the eldest brother marry the eldest princess, and the third brother can enter the palace as a guard, but when he comes to me, he is killed and imprisoned, and the grandson is not convinced, the grandson is not convinced!" ”

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, as if she was cold, and she looked at Zhang Dongnian with sad eyes: "Don't mention the years you stayed by your father's side for the time being, just tell me about the years you were raised under my knees, did I treat you badly?" No matter what kind of rare thing it is, Dongzheng Donglan has, I want your uncle not to forget to prepare a copy for you, if you want to study and don't want to practice martial arts, I will ask people everywhere and invite the great Confucians of the world to teach you, I just hope that you can become a talent, you have become like this now, is it mine? ”

Zhang Dongnian was speechless in a daze, and Second Mrs. Zhang hurriedly cried and begged: "Mother, since you have worked hard to teach Nian'er for so many years, can you bear to watch all your hard work go to waste?" Save Nian'er, he will definitely honor you in the future. ”

Old Madam Zhang closed her eyes again, as if she didn't want to look at these two people, shook her head and said, "I don't want him to be filial either, there is no future."

Second Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask again, but when she saw the people from the Criminal Department and the Chen family rushing in, she saw that Jiang You was a little hesitant, and she couldn't grasp her thoughts, so she hesitated and said, "Your Majesty"

She turned her head to look at Old Madam Zhang, saw her sneering at her with sorrow on her face, sighed and said, "I am only here to visit Old Madam Zhang this time, not to interfere in the questioning of the case, you don't have to have any scruples." After a slight pause, she continued, "This matter is a matter of human life, and the Criminal Department should carefully investigate it, and not indulge in the law, if you indulge the wicked in vain, I will definitely not spare you." She waved her hand: "Take the people down." ”

As soon as these words came out, Second Mrs. Zhang seemed to have exhausted her strength, first staggered on the ground, and then fainted with tears, Old Madam Zhang was also tired, but she still reluctantly got up and gave full salute in front of Jiang You: "I am tired of the emperor to take a trip, let you see the joke." ”

The Chen family was crying in the hall, but the Zhang family hung their heads silently, looking at the situation in front of them, Jiang You felt that she was right and couldn't bear to stay any longer, so she pulled Xue Yuan and hurriedly left, she leaned on the car and was silent for a long time before saying: "The Zhang family's matter!" ”

Xue Yuan squinted lazily: "What is the emperor sighing for?" When the wicked are punished, and those who have been wronged are avenged, is it not a great joy for all? ”

Jiang You frowned and said: "Although Zhang Dongnian is not a good thing, he is always the grandson of his grandmother, and the death of the Chen family girl is also wronged, and Ruhua's age is gone." ”

Xue Yuan stretched out his hand, pinched her chin with his fingertips and turned her face around: "The minister originally thought that according to the emperor's temperament, the emperor would inevitably help the Zhang family, but he didn't expect it to be clear, which really impressed the minister." ”

Jiang You pouted unhappily: "I am the emperor, how can I bend the law for personal gain just because he is a relative?" That's how you look at the palm prints. ”

Xue Yuan sighed: "What if this incident was committed by Little Grandpa Zhang or the third son of the Zhang family?" What about the emperor? ”

Jiang You's face froze, showing a very tangled and embarrassed expression: "This Dongzheng and Donglan are both of good character, how could they do such a thing?" ”

Xue Yuan glanced at her: "What if it's a minister?" ”

Jiang You felt very embarrassed when he thought about it, scratched his head and said angrily at him: "Why do you keep asking me this, did you make a mistake outside?!" ”

Xue Yuan leaned his head against the car, but elegantly held the teacup in one hand: "The emperor should know the reputation of the minister outside, the minister is not sure, and some things can't help but ask clearly." ”

Jiang You couldn't help but scratch his head again: "I think you are an excellent person, seeing is believing, naturally I won't listen to others." ”

Xue Yuan smiled slightly, he had already arrived at the palace gate at this time, and he pulled her inside: "The people next to him don't care about what the ministers think, as long as the emperor thinks the ministers are good." ”

Jiang You nodded again and again: "That's the truth." She couldn't help but look at him suspiciously: "You can't really have anything to do to be sorry for me, right?" ”

Xue Yuan knew what she was thinking when he looked at her, and his five fingers clasped together to hold her hand: "What does the emperor think?" Except for the emperor, there is no one else around. ”

Jiang You blinked and began to lift his old bottom: "Then what happened to you and Xu Meiren in the first place?" ”

He always felt that Jiang You's temperament was between a girl and a boy, but he didn't expect that he would be like a woman if he was unreasonable, and he had a headache and some unspeakable joy, so he looked at her and said: "The minister and Xu Meiren are nothing, it's just that the family was involved in a case and was sent to the palace from the south." ”

Jiang You held his hand and hesitated, "What was it like before you were sent to the palace?" ”
