It's okay not to persuade this, but after persuading this sentence, Qi Wanrou became more and more difficult to breathe.

She inhaled heavily, her fingers standing up: "Ahem, ahem...... You...... You're a scoundrel, second-rate...... , kill someone and ...... I'm still so arrogant! I'm ....... ”

Seeing that she couldn't catch her breath as she spoke, Yan Song hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and move a chair for the county lord!"

The left and right sides of the hall hurriedly stepped forward to hug Qi Wanrou, and then someone brought a chair for her to sit down.

Seeing that her face was better, Yan Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lord Wanrou, you are suffering from a Xuanyin disease, you should not be angry with others, if you have any mistakes, how can you tell this official to take the bus to Qi State." and Yin Lishizi, you must speak in a measured manner, how can you persuade people like this. ”

Yin Li held the back of his head with both hands, and put on an attitude of indifference.

In fact, he was peeking at Qi Wanrou and felt pity when he saw that he was weak.

So he said out of pity: "Da Sima, forget it today, send someone to send her back, and try her again tomorrow." ”

Qi Wanrou shook her hand weakly: "No, if I don't judge the results today, I'll ...... I'm not going back. ”

Yin Li shrugged: "Okay, then I'll clear my name as soon as possible, lest people say that I bullied you." ”

In the hall, Yan Song looked at the two of them, you come and I go, where is it like an interrogation, and the entire military department yamen is about to become a market shop with fighting mouths. He didn't have the heart to retry it, this case should have been tried by the Yamen of the Metropolitan Mansion, which was under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother's order, he wouldn't have bothered to bother with this matter.

Although he is a great Sima, he is in charge of military affairs, has a high position, and is fully qualified to interrogate the children of the princes.

But he was born with a gentle temperament, and he was over 100 years old, so he didn't want to cause some trouble.

Seeing that Yin and Qi ignored the court, he didn't bother to speak, and let them talk.

At this moment, Feng Yuan came from outside the yamen, and the queen mother actually came to the palace in person.

Empress Dowager Dong got off the phoenix chariot and walked in with the support of the female official Guanghan.

Yan Song stepped off the stage and led the full hall of officials to kneel and bow down.

Yin Li and Qi Wanrou had never seen the Queen Mother, both of them couldn't help but be stunned, and heard Yan Song shouting "The old minister greets the Queen Mother", only to know that it was the Queen Mother who arrived, and hurriedly knelt down.

Empress Dowager Dong smiled and hugged the two of them to get up, and said: "The two Qing families don't need to be polite, the mourning family heard that the great Si Nong of Qi State was murdered, and the suspect was involved in Yin Lishizi, so the mourning family can't help but come to listen." Wanrou, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to mourn, and also, you, Yin Li, will be involved in a murder case as soon as you come, and the mourning family really wants to beat you up for your father. ”

When she spoke, her eyes were squinted like peach blossoms, gentle and beautiful.

And the tone of the voice is like water flowing slowly, and it is full of compassion.

Yin Li listened and watched, and suddenly had a good feeling, especially when she heard her say the fourteen words "The mourning family really wants to beat you a few boards for your father", his eyes flowed, and his tone was hidden in a tone of hatred that iron is not made of steel, and his love was no less than that of his mother, so he had the idea of getting close, and couldn't help shouting: "Queen Mother." ”

Empress Dowager Dong stroked the back of his head, squinted and smiled.

At this time, Qi Wanrou suddenly said: "Ask the Queen Mother to call the shots." ”

"Okay, then Da Sima will continue. Empress Dowager Dong nodded, led the desk, and motioned for Yan Song to sit down and try the case. And she herself was taken aside by Guang Han and sat on the chair.

Yan Song had no choice but to take the order to the desk and continue the interrogation.

But before he could speak, Yin Li rushed and said: "Queen Mother, Da Sima, don't be so troublesome, I can prove my innocence." After I left Qi Mansion, I have been with Song Dazhong and the little county lord, and they can testify for me, and if I am afraid that the two of them will shield me and give inaccurate testimony, I still have witnesses, and when the three of us went to the outer city, we sold three sections of sugar cane in Lizi Hutong, and the owner of the sugar cane seller can also testify for me. Let's ask, the Qi Mansion crime occurred a quarter of an hour after I left, and I was buying sugar cane in Lizi Hutong at that time, unless I could be separated, how could I sneak into Qi Mansion to kill people. ”

Empress Dowager Dong nodded, and said with a straight face: "Well, what you said makes sense." ”

Yan Song saw the Queen Mother speak, and hurriedly sent left and right: "Go to Lizi Hutong to summon witnesses." ”

The left and right officials were ordered to go, and in about a quarter of an hour, the witnesses were brought to court.

......

As soon as the owner of the sugar cane seller came to the court, he recognized Yin Li, and not only confirmed Yin Li's self-defense, but also praised him for his generosity, and gave him ten gold coins for three sections of sugar cane, which was a complete good man. This testimony is not different from Yin Li's self-defense in terms of details and time, and can be used as evidence.

But after Qi Wanrou listened, she felt that the testimony of the witness was strange.

You know, ten gold coins are enough to buy ten acres of sugar cane.

Why is Yin Li's hand so generous, and he wants to give people ten gold coins?

Therefore, he still refused to forgive, and begged the Queen Mother and Da Sima to do a detailed review again.

In order to achieve her goal, she calculates the process of the murder like making up a story.

She said that when Wang Meng was killed, the servants heard the movement and shouted, so she suspected that Yin Liding was afraid of being discovered, so she fled in a hurry, leaving the big knife and not having time to pick it up.

Yin Li listened to Qi Wanrou's words, angry and funny, and said.

"You're too good at making up stories, as if you saw me kill with your own eyes. Does our empire have a rule that you can't give more money when you buy things, I have a lot of money, so I like to throw money around, okay. After speaking, he bowed to the Empress Dowager Dong and Yan Song, and said: "The Empress Dowager, Da Sima, she now recognizes that I am a murderer, and I really can't communicate with her, and I ask you two to be a judge and return my innocence." ”

"The testimony of the witnesses has a certain degree of credibility, and there is nothing wrong with Yin Lishizi's self-defense, but the speculation of the county lord Wanrou is not unreasonable. In this case, the official is very old, and his brain can't turn around, so he really can't make a judgment, but I'm afraid that I have to ask the Queen Mother to make a judgment. Yan Song, relying on his age, adhered to the principle of not causing trouble, talked to the muddy one, and kicked the trouble to the queen mother in the last kick.

Empress Dowager Dong glanced at Yan Song and scolded in her heart: "You old loach." ”

In addition to scolding, he boasted: "Da Sima is one hundred and eight years old, and he is still devoted to the government and politics, which can be described as outstanding meritorious service, hard work and high achievement, and the mourning family is really unbearable, and I can't bear it." At such an age as Da Sima, how can you be tired of running around again, those who know the reason will say that you are diligent and loyal, and those who don't know the reason are only afraid that they will say that the mourning family and Your Majesty are not, according to the mourning family, you should enjoy the blessings. ”

Yan Song got up and bowed: "What the Queen Mother said is that the old minister has long had the idea of resigning. ”

Empress Dowager Dong said with a smile: "The mourning family just sighed, but it didn't force you to resign." ”

Yan Song said with a smile: "The Queen Mother sighs well, if the old minister occupies a position of power at this age, he will miss the country and the king." ”

Empress Dowager Dong pursed her lips as if she was smiling, and no longer said anything to Yan Song. turned to look at Yin Li and Qi Wanrou, and said, "Okay, then the mourning family will be a judge." Wan Rou, the trial should be based on evidence, and the verdict is guilty, not just based on speculation, Yin Li has witnesses to testify, then the facts of the case will be clear at a glance, what else do you have to argue?"

Qi Wanrou only shook her head, didn't make a sound, closed her eyes, and was unwilling.

Empress Dowager Dong pronounced the verdict: "In this case, the mourning family will be acquitted." ”

Yin Li was overjoyed, smiled and bowed: "Empress Dowager Xie returned my innocence." ”

Qi Wanrou also bowed, and said weakly: "Empress Dowager Xie is judged." ”

"Okay, okay, the two Qing families don't have to be polite, there will be a banquet in the palace in two days, don't be late. Empress Dowager Dong got up and took Yin Li's hands, that thoughtfulness and affection really didn't look like pretending. After that, she bypassed Yan Song and summoned Tingwei Qiao En to her, and ordered him to thoroughly investigate the murder case of Wang Meng, and be sure to give an explanation to the Duke of Qi.

The case was over, and everything that should be explained was explained, so he and Guanghan took the phoenix back to the palace.
