As soon as Xia Ji appeared, there were several eyes with deep hatred in the room, stabbing at him unabashedly. It seems that only by cutting him with a thousand knives can he vent his anger.

Rong Qingshu glanced at it lightly, only to feel ridiculous.

Those people are the family members of the victims, and the initiators have not yet been identified, so they will follow the crowd and fasten this dirty hat on Xia Ji's head.

"Xia Ji, Song Ji accused you of buying murder, can you plead guilty?"

"Back to the emperor's uncle, on the day of the accident, Weichen originally wanted to go to the wine shop to drink a few glasses of wine, so after the military affairs were taken care of, he took leave from General Yin and left the Shenji Battalion. Later, when I heard that something had happened to the Li Wangfu, I went to take a look at it out of curiosity, who knew that I would be put on such a big hat. Weichen acted frankly and openly, and never couldn't stand anyone, the emperor's uncle must find out the murderer who planted the blame for Weichen, and return Weichen to an innocent person. Xia Ji's indignant appearance looked like he had been wronged.

"You said you were innocent, what do you explain about Xia Jinxiang and Su Linxiang?" The eyes of the ancient emperor had a little more profound meaning.

"There is a brother in the army who told Weichen that the girl in Beijing likes nothing more than chanting poems and flowers, but Weichen was born in the rivers and lakes, and likes to drink and dance with knives and guns, which has nothing to do with elegance. But Weichen was worried that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, so he asked someone to buy spices and give them to the famous noblewomen in Beijing, wanting them to pay attention to Weichen. If the emperor's uncle doesn't believe it, he can ask someone to go to the Weichen Mansion to get a list of gifts. ”

After Rong Qingshu listened to Xia Ji's words, he was a little puzzled for a while, didn't Yu Yanyi tell Xia Ji that those spices were Hexiang.

Or is it that the Phantom Wei missed last night and didn't catch Mr. Fan and Ji Niang, so he made a mistake.

Or maybe Yu Yanyi has other intentions.

Rong Qingshu was bothering to ponder, and was caught off guard, and met Yu Jinli's unpredictable eyes. But what surprised her the most was that after Yu Jinli smiled meaningfully at her, she actually opened her mouth to plead for Xia Ji.

"Father, after Xia Ji was imprisoned, his sons asked him about it, and according to the clues he provided, he sent people to investigate, and found that Song Ji was suspicious of testifying against Xia Ji. The gift list that Xia Ji said, Erchen also asked someone to find it. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Xia Ji's cousin, and in order to clear up the relationship, he didn't meddle in anything; His Royal Highness King Li is now unable to protect himself, and he is still standing up for Xia Ji, which is really asking for his own hardship. ”

"His Royal Highness King Li is in charge of the Criminal Department, and it is reasonable to ask about this case, and he will make a statement for Xia Ji, but it is just a show."

"That's it, my daughter was harmed by Xia Ji and ruined for the rest of her life. In any case, Xia Ji can't be let go easily. ”

……

For a while, those family members were gossiping and talking, and they were still worried about the gloomy face of the ancient emperor, and they were all whispering.

But what should be heard, I still heard it word for word, such as Yu Jinli.

"In order to avoid suspicion, the gift list was asked by the king to take it from the criminal department, but Mrs. Wu thinks there is anything wrong?" Yu Jinli looked at the angry woman with a deep face.

"The courtiers have lost their words." Wu's face turned pale, and he was blocked by Yu Jinli and had nothing to say, who let Shangshu of the Criminal Department be her husband, how could she dismantle her husband's platform.

The other women, all acting according to Wu's eyes, saw that she had nothing to say, and they all died down.

When Yu Jinli said this, Rong Qingshu was extremely puzzled. She also thinks that Yu Jinli helped Xia Ji to show his feelings at first, but he was just doing superficial work, but she never thought that he would spare so much effort.

At this time, it suddenly occurred in her mind that Yu Jinli had a private meeting with the people of Shaoguo yesterday.

She suddenly realized that among all the princes, Yu Jinli, like Yu Yanyi, was someone she couldn't see through.

This kind of talent is the most terrifying, but so what, whoever let him bully Rong Yinzhen, she will have to settle this account with him sooner or later.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room had eased up a little, the Ancient Emperor said slowly: "Li'er, where is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department at this moment?" ”

"Father, Wu Shangshu is listening to the announcement outside the fasting at this time."

"Announce him in." The Ancient Emperor nodded.

"Weichen attended the emperor and met His Royal Highness King Li."

"The grass people participated in the emperor and met His Royal Highness King Li."

came in with Wu Shangshu, and there was also a middle-aged man with a fat body.

"Let's all be flat."

"Your Majesty."

"Who is the person behind Wu Aiqing?"

"Back to the emperor, this person is He Gui, the housekeeper of the General's Mansion, and he handles all matters in the General's Mansion, and he has full authority to buy spices and gifts."

"He Gui, you tell me what happened, and there must be no deception. Otherwise, there will be no forgiveness! ”

After He Gui stole a glance at the calm Xia Ji, the trembling trembling of the face saint also dissipated a little, "Back to the emperor, the spices that the general ordered the grass people to buy have all been given away, and there is nothing left in the general's mansion, and the gift list and purchase voucher have been transferred to Lord Wu." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been running around various spice shops in Beijing in the past few days, and now it has been verified that all the spices purchased by the General's Mansion have indeed been given." Wu Shangshu presented the gift list, purchase voucher and a letter to Han Gonggong.

"If the General's Mansion is indeed as Wu Aiqing said, there are no remaining spices, then Song Yu's accusation is open to discussion. Han Zhong, order someone to pass on Song Ju! Emperor Gu looked through the physical evidence, his brows furrowed slightly.

Rong Qingshu was about to speak at this time, but thinking of the prejudice of the ancient emperor against her, she had to give up, so she secretly pulled Rong Qianheng's sleeve and tried her best to give him a look.

The old god Rong Qianheng was sipping fragrant tea on the ground, watching the show, turning a blind eye to Rong Qingshu's actions, just wanting to see her angry appearance.

It's just that after seeing the silver needles flashing on her fingertips, her scalp was numb, and she immediately spoke, "In this way, General Xia's accusation of murdering others is self-defeating, but the person who received the spice is suspected of murdering others." ”

"Your Majesty, what the eldest prince said is exactly what Weichen thinks, so Weichen secretly sent someone to verify that there is nothing suspicious about the use and whereabouts of the spices received by various prefectures." Wu Shangshu paused, saw that the ancient imperial emperor's expression was as usual, and glanced at the self-expressioned Yu Jinli before continuing to speak: "However, the use of the spices received by the palace ladies is unknown to Weichen. ”

"Concubine Qian, Concubine Zhao Shu, Queen ......, everyone has a share in these concubines, but you don't favor one over the other." The Ancient Emperor closed the movement, and his eyes swelled with emotions of unknown meaning.

Rong Qingshu's gaze couldn't help but be a little deeper, Xia Ji's move was a gift at best, and bribes for personal gain. This matter can be big or small, depending on how the ancient emperor viewed it.

However, openly questioning Xia Ji at this moment is not a bad thing, at least there is no group of officials here who are eager to die all the time, otherwise, even if the ancient emperor wants to make a big thing small, he may not be able to withstand the pressure.

But Xia Ji has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he is a person who is happy to take revenge, and he may not be able to deal with these people who are like nine twists and turns, and he will suffer if he is not careful.

Moreover, Yu Yanyi is now implementing a clean government and making every effort to clean up the finances of officials, Xia Ji, as his cronies, but he knowingly committed it, once the crime is established, not to mention that Xia Ji is not guilty of escaping, whether the new policy can be implemented smoothly is a problem.

Rong Qianheng noticed the worry in Rong Qing's eyes, looked at her with a smile, and said silently: "If you can help me make a wedding dress, I may be able to help him." ”

Yun Qilong not only has to prepare a dowry, but also prepares his wedding dress, and he will definitely have no time to help Rong Qianheng make a wedding dress.

As a member of the Rong family, it is natural for her to help, so she nodded her head without hesitation on this matter, "A word is a certainty." ”

When Rong Qianheng heard this, he smiled happily, and when Xia Ji, who was the first to swallow and vomit, took a step and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people think that General Xia's gifts are just eager to find a good marriage, but they are just young people. The top priority at the moment is to find out where the spices of the various palaces have gone and learn about the case as soon as possible. ”

After Rong Qianheng spoke, Yu Jinli also took the opportunity to say: "General Xia will be crowned in the coming year, he is young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that he will be anxious about marriage." ”

Gu Yu glanced at Rong Qianheng and Yu Jinli meaningfully, and after weighing it again, he finally borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "After you and the crown, if there is a suitable candidate, I will give you a marriage, and in the future, you must not act indiscriminately in private and lose our royal face in vain." ”

Although Xia Ji is not an extremely smart person, he also knew that as soon as the ancient emperor said this, he undoubtedly revealed the matter without mentioning it, and immediately knelt down to thank him: "Thank you for the grace of Uncle Huang." ”

"Qianheng has a reputation, and he is the safest to act, and the matter of searching for spices will be handed over to you and Wu Aiqing, how about it?"

This matter can be handled by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, although the Rong family has a special status, Rong Qianheng is a cloth cloth after all. Once ordered to search, it will inevitably offend the concubines, but if it is a blatant disobedience, it will be even more disrespectful.

Sure enough, although the ancient emperor appreciated Rong Qianheng, this did not prevent him from suppressing the Rong family all the time. Thinking of this, Rong Qingshu couldn't help but sigh.

"It is an honor for the grass people to be appreciated by the emperor." Rong Qianheng straightened his shirt and got up and bowed his hand to the ancient emperor.
