In the palace, as soon as Zhao Gou finished the court, he saw Qing Yu jumping over.

Zhao Gou saw that she was so happy, and said with a smile: "Girl, you girl hasn't seen anyone recently, and she is quite at ease outside the palace, why do you want to enter the palace?" ”

Qing Yu hugged his arm and said, "Father, don't I miss you too!" So come and see you. ，”

Zhao Gou took her to the side of the pavilion and sat down, and said, "Girl, how are you living outside the palace?" ”

"Father, living outside the palace is a lively freedom, you can also live outside the palace! I can also accompany my father everywhere. ”

Qingyu also chatted with him.

"There will be a chance, did you bring any good things to my father when I came to the palace this time?"

Zhao Gou asked with a smile.

Qing Yu immediately asked someone to bring a plate with a piece of sugar cane on it, and said: "Father, this is sugar cane, you taste it, it's sweet."

Zhao Gou picked up the sugarcane and took a bite, then nodded and said, "It's really sweet, where did you get this thing?" ”

Qingyu took the opportunity to say: "I got it from a foreign mission. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was also curious, and said, "Foreign missions? How come you come across a foreign envoy, and you haven't heard of a foreign mission visiting lately? ”

"I met by chance, and after a few days together, they came here by chance, and they wanted to come to visit my father, as if they were from England."

Qingyu spoke slowly.

"And where's the English Mission? When will we be there? ”

Zhao Gou asked.

Qing Yu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't be able to enter the palace to see their father, because they are all in the prison of Dali Temple." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was also puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Qing Yu opened his mouth and said: "It seems that they are selling illicit salt, but I don't think they look like they can sell illicit salt." ”

Zhao thought for a moment and said: "This matter is indeed a big matter, if there is really an embassy that has been wronged, then will there be other missions to pay tribute in the future?" ”

Qingyu knew that there was a play, and continued: "Father, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'll let someone investigate this matter thoroughly, what has that kid been busy with lately?"

Zhao Gou asked.

"He's been quite idle lately, and he's not busy with anything."

Qingyu replied.

"Since this is the case, then let him participate in this matter and participate in the trial of this case together."

Zhao Gou admonished.

Hearing this, Qing Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, so that Zhang Heng could personally participate in this matter.

Soon, Zhang Heng received the order to assist in the investigation, and he was also very happy.

At this time, he looked at Master Li with an inexplicable smile on his face, and he couldn't help asking, "Daughter-in-law, what are you laughing at?" There are quirks. ”

Master Li said with a smile: "The official is so concerned about this matter, it can't be because he has fallen in love with that exotic woman!" I heard that the exotic woman was very beautiful and quite charming. ”

Zhang Heng stretched out his hand and patted her buttocks, and said, "Don't think about it, I just can't bear them to suffer injustice." ”

"That's the concubine being careful"

Master Li smiled slightly.

"Okay, I won't talk to you, I have to go to Dali Temple."

Zhang Heng stood up, then got up and walked out.

In Dali Temple, Zhu Tingzheng, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Qiao Ling, the secretary of the Criminal Department, were chatting.

Zhu Ting leaned over and said, "Lord Qiao, this time Your Majesty asked you and that Zhang Heng to participate in the trial, I don't know what your lord thinks?" ”

Qiao Ling opened his mouth and said: "I took a look at the case file, and the human and material evidence is there, and he can't turn over the case." ”

Zhu Ting poured him a cup of tea and said, "Having said that, the Ninth Prince has always been worried that this matter will be variable, and we must not let this happen." ”

"Don't worry, Master Zhu, with us, that Zhang Heng can't overturn the case."

Qiao Ling was full of confidence.

In Dali Temple Prison, Feng Yuzheng led Zhang Heng in, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your Excellency has been appointed by His Majesty to participate in this case, congratulations!" ”

Zhang Heng smiled and said, "Your Majesty can afford it, let me find out the case of the mission's trafficking of illicit salt, this matter is very important!" ”

Feng Yu followed beside him and said, "There are adults here, I believe that the truth of this case will be found out soon." ”

"I hope so!"

Zhang Heng sighed.

When he came to the cell, he looked at Elizabeth and looked a lot haggard, probably suffering a lot.

After Elizabeth saw Zhang Heng, she immediately came to the side and said to him, "My lord, I don't know if this matter will have a result. ”

"Let's talk slowly, I've brought you some food this time, let's eat something first!"

Zhang Heng took out the food he brought.

When Elizabeth saw the food, she didn't hesitate to devour it.

Seeing this, Zhang Heng also hurriedly persuaded him: "Slow down, don't worry, there is." ”

Half an hour later, Elizabeth also finished eating, and said, "This is the best meal I have had in the past few days, thank you." ”

Zhang Heng opened his mouth and said: "A total of more than ten of you have been arrested this time, most of them are from your clan, and some are people who are related to you, and they all have their testimony, so it is not so simple to solve this matter." ”

"We were all tortured to extract confessions, so we signed our confessions, my lord, you must save us!"

Elizabeth pleaded bitterly.

"I've already thought of a countermeasure, and when the time comes, you'll say it's a foreign mission, and you should bring something from your hometown!"

Zhang Heng asked.

"I brought with me a lot of strange things, which you don't have here."

Elizabeth hurriedly replied.

"That's good, when the time comes, you and your friends will unify their voices, and as for the evidence, just leave it to me."

Zhang Heng admonished.

"Thank you, then."

Elizabeth hurriedly thanked her.

Then Zhang Heng walked out and said to Feng Yu: "Lord Feng, it's so bothersome for you to take care of here, and you have to satisfy them with food and drink." ”

"Don't worry, Master Zhang, everything is on me."

Feng Yu saluted and agreed.

At this time, a person came over and said to Zhang Heng: "Lord Zhang, Lord Xue asked you to go over." ”

Zhang Heng nodded, and then followed him.

When he came to the hall, Zhang Heng watched Xue Gaozheng chatting with a person, followed by a person.

Xue Gao saw him coming, and hurriedly beckoned over and said: "Lord Zhang, let me introduce to you, this is Master Qiao Lingqiao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and next to him is Zhu Ting, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Your Majesty let the three of us try this case together, I don't know what the two adults think?" ”

"There are all the witnesses and material evidence in this matter, what else is there to interrogate, just uphold the original verdict and behead it."

Qiao Ling threw out these words without hesitation, and his tone was also very firm, and there was no room for questioning.
