Yao Di on the side saw that the two of them were almost done, coughed lightly, and said: "Niangniang, the prince, it's not too early, why don't you go with the officials to close this case first!" ”

Lin Mu'er glanced at Lu Yi, didn't care about him anymore, and nodded towards Yao Di: "Lord Yao, please!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Yizhi was also anxious: "I'm not in a hurry to study, Aunt Huang, I'll finish listening to this case today, and then go back to study!" After speaking, as if he was afraid of Lin Mu'er's opposition, he ran into the yamen first!

Lin Mu'er shook her head with a smile, and followed Yao Di to the side room. The side room of the public hall is a small room, with simple tables and chairs, but also neat and clean, and a cup of fragrant tea. Yao Di took his leave when he arrived at the door of the side room. Mother Xie helped Lin Mu'er to sit down, and heard Wang Qing's unique sharp voice coming from the court: "The prince came today to see my jokes!" It's a pity that I'm going to disappoint the prince! ”

"I'm not disappointed, seeing you standing on top of the court, I'm very happy!" Lu Yizhi smiled meaningfully.

"You!" Wang Qing was a little angry.

"Smack!" There was a shock, "No noise in the lobby!" It was Yao Di's voice.

Lan Xue took out two plates of snacks from the food box, withdrew the fragrant tea, and brought out a cup of chrysanthemum honey water to Lin Mu'er again. Lin Mu'er took a sip of honey and continued to listen, this side room is really good, although she can't see the situation in the court, but the voice in the court is very clear.

"Ascension!"

"Will... Take..."

"Whoever is kneeling in the hall, what is the complaint, report it truthfully!"

"The Cao family of the slave family Taoyao Pavilion, sue Wang Qing for deliberately hurting people, please ask the master of the Qingtian family to be the master of the slave family!" Cao's mother spoke.

"Nonsense! My lord! Wang Qing hugged his fists and stepped forward, "Student Wang Qing, is the son of Wang Maojiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, this Cao's mother is spewing blood, obviously the girl from Taoyao Pavilion failed to court, she was ashamed and angry, and jumped off the building to bite back, and asked Lord Yao to investigate!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Jinyu on the side heard Wang Qing say this, and interjected anxiously.

"Am I talking nonsense? Hmph, which girl in Taoyao Pavilion is not a vermilion lip and a thousand pillows? How could I do such a thing for the sake of a bitch who can do his best! Wang Qing said with contempt and viciousness.

"No, no, it's not like this, big man, obviously he wants the slave family to sell himself, but the slave family refuses, so he... Ahem... Ahem!" Jinyu cried and said, in a hurry, suddenly coughed violently.

Seeing this, Cao's mother on the side hurriedly patted Jinyu's back to help Shunqi, and continued: "Master, Taoyao Pavilion has always been a performer and not a body, how can the girl in the hall practice herself to sell herself?" I hope the old man will see it! ”

"My lord, the girl in Taoyao Pavilion is not fake, but I think that this Jinyu girl is a high-spirited girl, and she refuses to always look at people's faces, and wants to tie up with the students, so that the students can take care of her. It's just that how could the students look at this kind of vulgar powder, and in shame, they used such a bitter trick to frame the students, so sinister intentions, and

I hope that adults will make decisions for students! Wang Qing said unhurriedly. These remarks were originally communicated by my father to Master Yao in advance, so Wang Qing said it so justifiably, so that people couldn't find mistakes.

"No, sir, no, you're lying! You're lying! It's clear that you can't force it, and you still frame me! Jinyu cried with tears on her face, and she was angry for a while, pointing at Wang Qing and scolding.

"Smack!" Yao Di frowned, and was shocked, "There is no noise above the court!" Since you have different opinions, someone will bear witness for you! ”

"Yes, there were a few sisters who played the piano for the sons that day, and they could testify for the slave family." Cao's mother opened her mouth and said, Jinyu's whole body was already crying, and her body was not well, so she came with a strong breath, and the whole person was already in a trance.

"My lord! How can you believe the words of the girls in Taoyao Pavilion, they will help her! Wang Qing arched his hand and said.

Yao Di nodded: "That makes sense, but are there other witnesses?" ”

"This..."Cao's mother was a little difficult, in addition to the girl from Taoyao Pavilion that day, there were indeed a few other sons, but if they were told in court today, it would be one thing to speak for themselves, and if they went to court for this kind of thing, even if they were just testifying, they were afraid that they would be disliked and offended them in vain.

Seeing that Cao's mother was silent, Wang Qing snorted softly, and it was expected that Cao's mother would not dare to tell the others, so she said: "My lord, because I got a few good poems that day, I went to Taoyao Hall to drink a few more glasses, and the other brothers were already drunk, I am afraid that they didn't see this clearly, but Si Kun's little servant has been waiting by the side that day, and he can testify for the villain!" ”

"Si Kun?" Yao Di frowned, "But the third son of the Master of the Criminal Department?" ”

"Exactly, at this time, his little servant is waiting outside the public court, and the adults can call him over for questioning at any time!" Wang Qing said confidently, although everyone usually eats, drinks and has fun together, but in the event of a lawsuit, these official eunuchs can still hide, this Si Kun can assign a small servant to come over to testify, it has already given Wang Qing face, I am afraid it is also the reason why the relationship between the father's generation is good.

As soon as she heard this, Cao's mother was a little anxious, is this not a clear frame-up? How is this good?

"Huh!" I only heard Lu Yizhi laugh softly: "Wang Gongzi is really a good abacus, the words of the girl in Taoyao Pavilion are not credible, how can a subordinate be believed?" I don't know how much silver the prince stuffed! The old god Lu Yizhi sat on the chair and said with the tea lid.

"You!" Seeing Lu Yizhi come out to stir up the situation, Wang Qing was a little anxious, "Don't spew blood!" ”

"You know if I'm spewing blood!" Lu Yizhi drank tea slowly.

Yao Di's temples will jump suddenly, it's really a headache! Originally, it was well arranged, this little guy came out to testify, and he could take Cao's mother and Jinyu into prison, but now Lu Yizhi jumped out to stir up the situation, not to mention, Princess Jin is still staring at the side room, Yao Di will really be difficult to ride a tiger!

"Alright, stop arguing!" Pressed

Pressing his head, Yao Di was ruthless, and opened his mouth to scold, "Above the lobby, no noise!" However, what the prince said is also reasonable, and this official can't listen to it and believe it! Even so, if neither of you can find convincing witnesses, the case will not be able to continue until you find new evidence, and the trial will be reopened! ”

"Your Excellency!" Wang Qing couldn't believe it, why did he suddenly change his mind when he said something good?

"Yes! Thank you, sir! Mother Cao pressed the angry Jinyu and kowtowed to thank her, so far, this is probably the best ending for them.

"Master, how can this be? This Lord Yao just closed the case? Mother Xie in the side room was a little incomprehensible, and asked Lin Mu'er in a low voice.

Lin Mu'er smiled: "Isn't this the best ending?" ”

"Why?" Xie's mother was a little puzzled.

Lan Xue guessed what Lin Mu'er meant: "Isn't the master just not wanting Wang Qing to end this matter?" Going to the government just shows the attitude of our Jin Palace? ”

Lin Mu'er looked at Lan Xue approvingly, and nodded: "Yes, I am the princess of Jin, if I can't even protect the property of the palace, I don't dare to say anything if I am bullied, if there is one, there will be two, and everyone will be able to ride to our palace in the future." However, I am also a weak woman who is newly widowed, and if I do things too satisfactorily, I will feel that this Jin princess is not hand-eyed? In that case, I'm afraid that even the emperor won't be able to explain it. Now that I am supporting Taoyao Pavilion in the name of Princess Jin, Yao Di does not dare to convict Cao's mother without authorization, wouldn't it be the best result to play fifty boards each like this? ”

"I see!" Mother Xie nodded, "It's just that this Jinyu girl..."

Lin Mu'er lowered her eyes: she blew the tea gently: "Don't worry, that Wang Qing can't get cheap today, how can he give up, and there will be trouble, with Cao's mother's shrewdness, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch him?" It's always going to make him suffer the consequences! ”

Lin Mu'er explained in a low voice, and Lu Yizhi above the public court over there stopped doing it: "Lord Yao, this case will not be tried?" ”

"Then, what is the best way for the prince?" Yao Di asked with a calm face.

"What can I do!" Lu Yizhi put down the tea bowl, dusted off the non-existent dust on his robe, and said slowly: "Lord Yao is just missing a witness, I happen to know that there is a witness!" ”

"Oh?" Yao Di was shocked, but his face was still unremarkable, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Is the certificate of the prince convincing?" ”

"Lu Yizhi, don't be a fool! You weren't there that day, how did you come to witness! Wang Qing was also angry, he and Lu Yizhi have never dealt with each other, and the human witness he got by Lu Yizhi can no longer help him speak!

Cao's mother was also hesitant, and he didn't know whether this witness was beneficial to him, only Jinyu on the side had a look of hope.

When Lin Mu'er in the side room heard this, she also put down the tea bowl with a solemn face, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully.

"I wasn't there that day, but..."

Lu Yizhi deliberately paused and sold the guanzi: "You won't forget, Xiao Yuejun was also drinking that day, right?" Well? Lu Yizhi winked at Wang Qing and said gloatingly.

When Wang Qing heard this, he was inexplicably relieved, this Xiao Yuejun is closer to him on weekdays, and in terms of relationship, he may be closer than this Lu Yizhi, and he may not be able to help Lu Yizhi speak, so he still said stiffly: "He was indeed there that day, but so what, he was also drunk that day, how can he remember?" ”

"Do you remember, Lord Yao sent him over to ask if he would know!" Lu Yizhi didn't talk nonsense with him, just turned his head to look at Yao Di, "Lord Yao, what do you say?" ”

Having said that, even if Yao Di pretended to be crazy and stupid, he couldn't fool him, so he could only stubbornly order: "Liu San, Jia Qiu, you go to Xiao Mansion and invite Xiao Gongzi quickly!" ”
