In the state office, the night gradually became hazy, and Di Renjie's face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, looking up at the dark night sky, in a state of worry.

Beside him, he stood silently for a while, and finally couldn't hold back, Li Yuanfang said coldly: "My lord, the matter is already obvious, King Ying saw that things were not good, and he couldn't avoid the crime, so he deliberately blamed Na Yuanping and blamed all the sins and crimes on the evil slave!" ”

Between the words, there was indignation, and he was ordered to go to the construction site of "Yingwang Pavilion" and saw with his own eyes the hard laborers in dire straits, which was diametrically opposed to the "harmony" of the emperor when he arrived.

Those royal house slaves were unusually domineering, and Yuan Ping, who happened to be on the spot, was full of ambition and waved his whip from time to time. The few servants who cooperated with the guards made him even more angry.

The scene was controlled, and the questioning was made, and as the complainant had said, the slaves were used as livestock. In addition to the harsh winter, the construction of the "Yingwang Pavilion" has only been half a year, and dozens of people have been injured and disabled by heavy labor......

locked Yuan Ping back to the city, just in time for Di Renjie's questioning of Yuan Qi. After the sect master said some prevarication in a gesture of understatement, he calmly walked away.

If there is anger value, Yuan Fang at this time is already full.

Seeing that Di Renjie didn't react, Li Yuanfang continued: "Just imagine, that Yuan Ping is just a small steward of the palace, and Yuan Qi, as the king of Ying, how can he not know what he has done. If it weren't for King Ying's support and instructions, how could that evil slave dare to do so many evil things! ”

When Li Yuanfang finished venting, Di Renjie shook his head lightly and said softly: "Yuanfang, you are too impatient!" ”

With a stunned expression, Li Yuanfang probably realized that he was not in the right state, took a deep breath, and calmed down. After pondering for a while, Fang said slowly: "My lord, according to the investigation of the inferior position and Di Chun, what Shen San and the others have told are all the facts. The suffering of those people is vivid. With all that in the way, do you still think there's something wrong? ”

Saying that, Yuan Fang solemnly looked at Di Fatpang: "Could it be that my lord, are you worried about Yuan Qi's identity?" ”

Hearing this, Di Renjie turned around, there was no expression on his old face, a pair of eagle eyes stared at Li Yuanfang, seeing that he was a little uncomfortable, the old fox Fang sighed: "Yuanfang, I know that you are jealous and hateful, but there are some things that can't just look at the surface...... This matter may not be as simple as you think, and the result may not be as you want! ”

There was still some confusion, and he was about to ask a question, but Assassin Shi entered the door with a confession with fingerprints in his hand and handed it to Di Renjie: "Ge Lao, this is Yuan Ping's confession!" ”

took it and browsed it, but he was not moved, and handed it to Li Yuanfang. Then, Yuan Fang was excited.

That Yuan Ping is a very competent villain, he was arrested by Yuan Fang and returned to the state government to teach him a lesson, and he heard that it was an important case that the emperor sent an edict to try, and then Yuan Qi ruthlessly abandoned it. During the interrogation, he did not carry it to death, but actively wanted to be a "tainted witness", and directly confessed that everything was instructed by Yuan Qi......

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie: "My lord, this Yuanping has confessed to ......."

"Yuan Fang, what do you think I should do now?" Waving his hand, signaling Thorn Shi to retreat, beckoning Li Yuanfang to move around, Di Renjie asked.

"Naturally, I reported it to the emperor truthfully!" Blurt out.

"And then?" Shaking his fat body, Di Renjie continued to ask.

Without thinking, Yuan Fang replied: "Punish according to law!" ”

Step by step, walking forward, Di Fatpang asked softly: "Then what do you think, how should you judge the sin and Yuan Qi?" ”

Yuan Fang was silent, he was not empty of enthusiasm, he naturally knew that the powerful, especially those like Yuan Qi, always had privileges.

After hesitating for a while, Fang said, "Don't talk about executing Liubian...... It's not too much to cut the lord for the people! The emperor specially appointed you to try this case, I am afraid that he also has the intention of letting you enforce the law impartially, otherwise, her old man can appoint someone else! ”

Li Yuanfang, who calmed down, was quite witty.

Nodding and walking a few more steps, Di Renjie said: "This matter, whether it is big or small, in the final analysis, it still depends on the emperor's attitude......"

"Listen to what you mean, the emperor will not condemn?" With a little surprise on his face, Li Yuanfang asked tentatively.

Stopping, Di Renjie said leisurely: "If Yuan Qi insists that he was deceived by evil slaves, as he said in court before, this can be regarded as an unknown person at most, and His Majesty is not strict......

"Joke! This kind of explanation can only be deceived by a three-year-old child! Li Yuanfang's eyebrows jumped: "The dignified King Ying, for a family slave, it's just funny." How could the emperor be deceived by it! ”

"In fact, the emperor will see through it at a glance!" Seeing that Yuanfang was a little excited, Di Renjie said: "But there are some things, seeing through it doesn't mean that you will say it!" ”

Seeing this, Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows: "You mean that the emperor may protect King Ying?" ”

Di Renjie didn't speak for a while, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Where does that place the law of the land?" With his mouth slightly open and stunned for a moment, Li Yuanfang said indignantly.

Looking at this Yuan Fang, Di Fatpang wanted to say, "You are still too young", and waved his hand: "This is just my guess, maybe this matter angers the emperor too much, and he will be severely punished!" ”

Di Renjie said this, but he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it.

"Yuan Fang, don't you think that the investigation of this case is too easy?" Seeing that Li Yuanfang's mood was slightly low, Di Renjie deliberately changed the topic.

"Huh?"

......

In the palace returned to the Yan Palace, Wu Cao reviewed the important pieces sent by the gods. Even if she is out on patrol, she still needs to make decisions about major events in the world.

The two ** palace ladies carefully replaced the much darker candles beside them, for fear of disturbing the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Beauty had an elegant posture, walking with lotus steps, and Yingying bent down to worship.

"Hmm!" The empress replied casually.

"The internal guard's investigation of King Ying has been sorted out!" Shangguan Wan'er held a report in her hand.

"Oh?" Wu Cao became interested, and finally looked up at Shangguan Wan'er: "Speak!" ”

didn't open the report, Shangguan Wan'er directly recounted: "Back to Your Majesty, King Ying is in Jiangdu, and has always lived in a simple place, although he has purchased many properties in Jiangdu, he has never been ostentatious, and he has never bullied him as an evil before. In recent years, the biggest move has only been to open Hongtong Cabinet Workshop, but after you issued an edict to ban it last year, you took the initiative to close down and return the reserves. In addition, it is only since last year that high-profile pavilions have been built in the east of Yangzi City, encroaching on people's land, and treating civilian servants harshly, which is indeed a thing......"

"Interesting......" Hearing this, Wu Cao put down the movement in his hand and commented.

"Your Majesty, Ying Wang Yuanqi and Zhonglang will meet Yuanhui father and son!" The figure flashed, and a housekeeper quietly walked in and whispered.

His eyebrows flashed, a cold smile rose at the corner of his mouth, he straightened his waist slightly, and commanded: "Xuan!" ”

After waiting for a full quarter of an hour, Yuan Qi's father and son passed through the heavy guards and saw His Majesty.

Fang appeared, knelt down very simply, took a few steps on his knees, and Yuan Qi shouted: "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Yuan Langjun was slightly stunned in the back, although the sect master was blessed, this kneeling action was not ordinary agility. Half a step behind, Yuan Hui's movements were not slow, and with a plop, his legs were so soft that he didn't have a little stagnation.

Raising his eyes and glancing at the father and son, Wu Cao changed to a comfortable sitting posture and asked in a particularly leisurely manner, "What is the crime?"
