"Dead ...... He's dead? "Governor Zhang was also surprised, this key witness is dead, Xia Zhiyi also came to report to the official, what is this tossing?

And Xia Zhiyi didn't seem to have any intention of giving up.

"Governor Zhang, it's because everyone is dead that you can't ignore it, Jiang Ruanyan was in full swing at the beginning, so I didn't dare to publicize it, what I was afraid of was that after being exposed, she would kill us and even implicate my family."

Xia Zhiyi cried even more fiercely.

"This led to the tragic death of my good sister, and now she has been proven to be a member of the previous dynasty, that is more reason to prove that she did bad things, prefect, you must give Dancui justice."

Governor Zhang frowned, facing Xia Zhiyi's request, of course he didn't dare to say no.

What's more, it's the daughter of the squire of the military department, even if he doesn't cry like this, he has to help.

But the problem is that there is no evidence, and the witnesses are already dead, so how easy is it to suddenly judge the case now?

Although Jiang Ruanyan's identity in the previous dynasty has been confirmed, he can't make a decision to say that it was someone who killed him.

Governor Zhang also wanted to cry without tears at this time.

He never thought that although he had been transferred out of his original post and did not have to take charge of Jiang Ruanyan's affairs, he would come to the door by himself for this matter.

While he was still thinking about it, the people outside the door had already begun to stir.

"Lord Prefect, can you bring Jiang Ruanyan for a good question?"

"yes, at least we'll have to figure things out."

The people didn't have much feeling about the remnants of the previous dynasty, but they also had mixed feelings about Jiang Ruanyan's imprisonment.

knew that Jiang Ruanyan did not commit a crime, but her crime could not be explained, and the people who could not refute it had no way to save her even if they wanted to.

Since seeing Jiang Ruanyan being arrested that day, everyone has never seen her again, and the people don't dare to mention it after dinner, but everyone is still worried about her in their hearts.

Now that Xia Zhiyi suddenly said such a thing, how could the people easily let it pass.

We must seize every opportunity.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!" The prefect wanted to appease everyone, after all, it was not up to him to decide on this matter.

Jiang Ruanyan's current identity is special, and he is not even qualified to summon Jiang Ruanyan, a felon.

"Lord Prefect, these are all dead, and if they are not tried, it will inevitably be a little unspeakable."

Some of the people began to make a noticeable uproar.

"That's right, whose eldest daughter died like this, how sad my father is."

After a woman finished speaking, the atmosphere was even more exaggerated, and the people around her were even more excited.

"Listen to me, listen to me." The prefect persuaded again.

"Now Jiang Ruanyan's identity is a felony in the imperial court, and it is not something that my little prefect can summon casually."

Originally, he shouldn't have told the people about this, but the prefect has no choice but to express his own difficulties.

"My lord, in that case, it is even more necessary to review and ask clearly, if the person was really killed by her, then she should be punished with death!"

"But if he didn't kill the person, then we should return her innocence."

The people were waiting for this moment.

Xia Zhiyi came to beat the drum and voice his grievances, which is already very revealing.

It's not that she hasn't done this kind of thief shouting to catch a thief before, and she splashes dirty water on Jiang Ruanyan every time, and the people have long been used to her routine.

It's just that it's not good to help Jiang Softyan speak openly, so I thought of such a trick.

If you don't seize the opportunity to go now, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance to help Jiang Ruanyan in the future.

"I know everyone is eager to save people, but this is not a problem that I can solve with a word, so please go back first."

Governor Zhang also has his own difficulties, he has always enforced the law impartially and insisted on not violating his conscience.

Of course, he also knew that Jiang Ruanyan had always been a person, and he remembered all the good things she did to help the people in the capital.

But now it's a different story.

"Lord Prefect, you are our food and clothing parent official, we can only beg you if we can't see the emperor."

"Yes, if you choose to sit idly by and watch the big things that are at stake in people's lives here, then who can we rely on in the future?"

One of the people even seized the opportunity to put pressure on the prefect.

Xia Zhiyi was just behind, he didn't say anything, and he was happy enough to watch this meeting.

Originally, I thought it would be difficult, but I didn't expect that now that he is sitting here and doesn't even have to talk about it, the people will naturally put pressure on the prefect.

It was easier than she had imagined.

The officials stopped the people at the door, and the prefect explained to them again and again, but it didn't make sense at all.

The people were clamoring to find out about the matter.

They didn't shout to wash away Jiang Ruanyan's grievances, so they couldn't be regarded as speaking for the court repeat offenders, and naturally they were exempted from punishment.

In the end, there was a stalemate, and the prefect agreed to come down.

"Okay, then I can only listen to everyone's try, but now the situation is special, and I hope you can understand whether it can be tried in the end."

The prefect did not dare to delay, and then went back to the study to write an excerpt, which according to the usual only need to be submitted to Dali Temple for approval.

But this time, because the situation was really special, Dali Temple didn't dare to make a decision easily, so this time it was handed to the emperor layer by layer.

When the emperor saw this excerpt, of course he knew who was making trouble behind it, but now there is no way.

It is said that the people sat at the gate of the yamen all afternoon, just to wait for this notice.

The emperor looked at the fold in his hand and angrily threw him on the table.

After a long time, he spoke, "Let's check, let's check." ”

What else can be done?

Investigating the case is not a big deal, the key is that other people can see through this incident what the emperor's attitude is towards Jiang Ruanyan.

In fact, the emperor has always been very entangled.

In public and private, he should directly execute Jiang Ruanyan, and he shouldn't keep her for so long.

But in view of Jiang Ruanyan's actions in Tianlun and her relationship with Gu Shenyuan, the emperor had to be so entangled, and even delayed again and again.

He tried not to mention anything related to Jiang Ruanyan, but there were always people who didn't want the emperor to be at peace.

In order to be able to hand over his family to a reassuring person after a hundred years, the emperor can only endure it.

Gu Gangqian, who heard the news, was very happy, and he was even happier when he fed the birds, and he gave two more small insects as soon as he was happy.

He knew that his father was angry, and he was not afraid.

His father has always wanted to escape from things related to Jiang Ruanyan, which is not right, he must let his father understand that Jiang Ruanyan's matter does not exist if he is not ignored.

The long pain is better than the short pain, and the father might as well solve Jiang Ruanyan as soon as possible and let the second brother die of that heart.

has been dragging it out like this, but it makes the second brother have a grudge against his father, and it is better to cut off his thoughts directly.

As for the outcome, there is only one possible outcome.

In view of Gu Shenyuan's current feelings for Jiang Ruanyan, if his father really did that, Gu Shenyuan would most likely abandon the emperor.

Then this just achieved Gu Gangqian's purpose.

The emperor did not dare to slack off this time, and only one day later, the holy decree allowing the trial was handed down.

The case was tried jointly by the prefect Zhang and the new prefect, but on the territory of Jincheng, he must have listened to the prefect Zhang first.

It was also on this opportunity that Jiang Ruanyan and others were taken out of the dungeon.

finally had time to bask in the sun, and in the prisoner car, Jiang Ruanyan was lazy and let the sun shine on his body wantonly.

Although Ding Yi's people have brought them a change of clothes these days, they always feel like they have mold on their bodies.

It's hard to come by, and she has to enjoy it.

There were many people around the prisoner car, and they did not whisper, but just followed the prisoner car all the way forward, and from time to time there would be some happy expressions on their faces.

This is a scene that has never been seen before in the capital, and the cars locked in the prison cars in the past are hated criminals.

Only this time it was the people they were worried about, and they didn't have much time to see Jiang Ruanyan, so they specially chose to accompany Jiang Ruanyan for a while.

Jiang Ruanyan would also greet everyone quietly in the prisoner car, trying to avoid the eyes of the officers and soldiers.

When they arrived at the yamen, the people were stopped outside, and Jiang Ruanyan Bai Ruoguan and Bingyue were pushed to the lobby with handcuffs.

"Mighty." With the solemn voices of the officials, Governor Zhang's mansion began the trial.

"Xia Zhiyi, what you want to accuse is someone in the hall?"

Although everyone knows each other, the procedure still needs to be walked.

"That's right, Governor Zhang, they killed my sister Dancui."

Although Jiang Ruanyan had heard of Xia Zhiyi's seat before coming back, he was still stunned when he arrived at the scene.

When did Daintree become a sister with her?

Governor Zhang looked at Jiang Ruanyan, as defendants, they were too quiet.

In other cases, the defendant has already cried and shouted that he was wronged.

As for the three of Jiang Ruanyan, two of them were very surprised, while the other one was very bored.

This made Governor Zhang not know how to continue.

"Ahem." He said with a little embarrassment, "Defendant, do you have anything to say?" ”

After the prefect's reminder, Bai Ruoguan reacted, they should shout wronged, right?

"My lord, we are wronged, we have not done these things." Fortunately, Jiang Ruanyan reacted faster than her, but this wrongful shouting was too emotionless.

"It's very credible to say that." Bai Ruoguan quietly criticized psychologically.

"Xia Zhiyi, the defendant said that she didn't know about it, what evidence do you have?"

Governor Zhang turned to Xia Zhiyi again.

"Yes, sir." This time, Xia Zhiyi was obviously prepared.

I saw that the family member at the bottom handed it to the servant, a tray covered with cloth, and the servant took it and sank it to the public court.

Xia Zhiyi was beside him, lifted the cloth, and covered it with a small sachet, and next to it was a piece of paper to be used for the bag.

"Your Excellency, please see, this is the evidence." At this time, not only did they hit people, but almost everyone's eyes were focused on this small thing.

"What is this?" Governor Zhang asked.
