Chapter 71: Release on Bail Pending Trial
Zhao Mingyue cried in Ling Kun's arms for a long time, and gradually stopped crying: "How did you come in?" ”
Ling Kun held Zhao Mingyue's shoulders and asked her to sit back on the bed, then bent down and picked up the candle on the ground and lit it again and put it on the small table, saying, "I took this case, and now I have the final say in this Kaifeng Mansion." ”
"What? You became the governor of Kaifeng? Zhao Mingyue wondered.
Ling Kun nodded.
"Is our case now up to you?" Zhao Mingyue asked.
"Yes." Ling Kun replied
"You fool, why do you take on this kind of errand, it won't be good for you to solve this case, let alone if you can't solve it, it's a thankless task." Zhao Mingyue complained.
"No, it's like that for them, it's not the same for me." Ling Kun denied.
"What's different?" Zhao Mingyue wondered.
Ling Kun squatted in front of Zhao Mingyue, stared at her haggard face and said, "I didn't do this to solve the case, not to be the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, just to save you as soon as possible, only if you are good, I can be good." ”
Zhao Mingyue was stunned, looked at him in a daze, and tears overflowed from her eyes. She reached out and gently stroked Ling Kun's face, and Ling Kun covered her hand over her slender hand and buried her head tightly in her hand.
Even in a dark and damp cell, the moment was blissful.
However, they don't have that much time, and the business hasn't started yet. After a moment, Ling Kun raised his head and stood up, sat down in his chair and asked, "What do you think about this, and what should I do?" ”
Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, but I really can't think of a clue. Supposedly, only the eldest brother and the third brother have this motive, but after thinking about it carefully, the two of them had no chance to do it at all, and I could feel that we were both sincere that night, and none of them had any evil intentions. ”
"The King of Chu is crazy again, according to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, it is more serious than before." Ling Kun said.
Zhao Mingyue sighed: "It's okay to be crazy, at least it means that he didn't do it, then all the suspicions are focused on the third brother, as soon as the second brother dies, the eldest brother is crazy, and the third brother is the only suitable crown prince at present." ”
"I can only think so, in fact, I don't care much about this, what I care about is how to get you out immediately."
"How is that possible, no one wants to get out until the case is concluded."
"That's not necessarily, now the case is on trial by me, and I have the final say."
"What do you want to do?"
"I have my own opinions, but you have to stay here tonight." Ling Kun said distressedly.
Zhao Mingyue sighed faintly: "Okay, I believe you have a way, go back and rest, I'll wait for your good news." ”
The two were reluctant to part, and Ling Kun pushed the door out of the cell. Gongsun Xian, the chief bookkeeper, asked, "Do you have any gains?" ”
"Well, I have some ideas, I'm afraid I have to have Mr. Lao Gongsun tonight." Ling Kun said.
"The adults are serious, and the little ones are willing to serve the dogs and horses for the adults." Gongsun Xianji's first way.
Ling Kun walked out and explained to Gongsun Xian by the way: "I need my husband to draft a bail agreement overnight tonight, and copy dozens of copies. ”
"On bail?" Gongsun Xian was puzzled: "Ransom Xiaosheng is stupid, I have never heard of such a judicial procedure. ”
"It's okay, I'll tell you how." Ling Kun walked all the way, and told Gongsun Xian all the way about the procedures for release on bail pending trial in the future, and Gongsun Xian hurriedly took the order and left.
The next day, the newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Lingwei Hou Lingkun began to ascend. The first to be interrogated was Zhao Yuanzuo's wife Cao, because Zhao Yuanzuo was seriously ill and could not pass the court.
The Cao family has been suffering with Zhao Yuanzuo for a long time, and everything is used to it, so she is relatively not very haggard, and her expression is calm.
Ling Kun said: "Madam, this official is the newly appointed Kaifeng Mansion Yin Lingkun, who was ordered by the emperor to accept the case of King Xu with full powers, and now this official has decided to release His Royal Highness Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of the emperor, and his wife on bail pending trial. ”
Cao Shi stared at his confused eyes and asked, "What is bail pending trial?" ”
"This official plans to let you go home to recuperate first, but the case has not yet been concluded, and you will be summoned for arraignment at any time, so you can only stay at home and cannot go out during the period of bail pending trial. In addition, you and His Royal Highness Yuanzuo need to have a guarantor, and if you run away or do not cooperate with the review, the guarantor will be held responsible. ”
When Cao Shi heard that he could go home, his face showed excitement, and then he asked, "But who can vouch for us?" ”
"Madame's maiden family is the founder of my dynasty, and her family background is prominent, and any of them can come out and vouch for it."
Cao Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Okay, yes, I'll write to my father to vouch." ”
Not long after, the founding general Cao Bin was invited to the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, signed an agreement on bail pending trial, and sent his daughter back to Nangong.
The rest of the little princes and princesses were guaranteed by their biological mothers or uncles and brought home by their own families.
When it was Zhao Mingyue's turn to go to the court, the main book was a little embarrassed: "My lord, who should guarantee this princess of Yan Kingdom?" You can't call the emperor and the queen, right? ”
Ling Kun waved his hand and said, "I'll vouch." ”
"This, my lord, isn't that appropriate?"
"Why is it not suitable, is this official and dignified Kaifeng Mansion Yin not qualified to vouch?" Ling Kun asked.
"Of course not, it's just ......." I can't tell what's wrong with the main book, but I always feel like there's something wrong.
"This matter is settled, take the princess to the court."
Zhao Mingyue went to the hall, her face and mental state were obviously much better than last night, because she knew that it was her servant Ling Kun in the hall, although he was a scoundrel, he was absolutely loyal to her.
Ling Kun looked solemn, and according to the previous form, he told her the procedures for release on bail pending trial, and asked her if she was willing.
Zhao Mingyue looked at Ling Kun in a daze, unable to speak for a long time. It's really embarrassing for him, in order to let himself out, he can think of such a strange way. What a good way to finally get myself and my siblings out of prison.
But whether this is possible, no dynasty or past dynasties have ever seen such an operation.
With apprehension, Zhao Mingyue signed the agreement, but when she saw that Ling Kun's name had already been signed by the guarantor below, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, and two tears as pure as pearls rolled down.
Zhao Mingyue got out of the hall and went straight to Lingweihou.
Gongsun Xian then asked Ling Kun: "My lord, there is the last one that is the third prince, do you want to bring it now?" ”
Ling Kun shook his head and said: "No, at present, the third prince's motive for committing the crime is the greatest, if it is really what he did, it is very likely that something will happen if he is released, so let's lock it up for a few more days to see the situation." ”
Gongsun Xian nodded in agreement, and the day's work ended like this.
Ling Kun hurried home, Zhao Mingyue had already finished freshening up, changed her clothes and sat down to talk to Xiao Ran, her eyebrows were picturesque, bright and beautiful, as radiant as usual, but there was still a faint melancholy in her eyes. After all, it's not over yet
