Chapter Sixty-Eight: Almost
When the prince walked out of the East Palace, the whole person seemed to be more than ten years old, and the proud back, which had always been straight, seemed to collapse slightly, and the little eunuch of the East Palace politely sent him to the sedan chair, only to turn around and scratch his head a little strangely.
He could see that Taifu was a little absent-minded, what was going on?
Even the little eunuch has heard of it, of course, this can't be hidden from the other people in the East Palace, Zhu Yuan took a sip of ginseng soup, nodded without changing his face, and didn't ask about the prince again, but just explained to everyone: "Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, let the officials' meals make them a little fresher, don't always be greasy, this day, who can eat that?" Besides, in the future, His Royal Highness and Changshi will go out to the yamen, and when they deliver food, they will bring a bucket of chilled sour plum soup, and the case-handling officials of the Criminal Department will send it if they have something to drink. ”
Green Yi hurriedly answered.
She is now in charge of the food sent to the yamen of the criminal department by the East Palace, and she can do it with her heart.
Especially when the girl asked her to learn cooking from Chef Lin, she is different now.
After Zhu Yuan finished instructing, he asked people to ask Jin Chang where Chu Tingchuan was now.
Jin Chang hadn't come in yet, but Chu Tingchuan came back first, compared to before, his eyebrows were also a little gloomy, Zhu Yuan saw that he rarely showed such a look, and glanced at the person who was waiting.
Everyone could see that His Royal Highness was in a very bad mood, of course no one would come up to stroke the tiger's beard, so he hurriedly retreated, and Zhu Yuan stood up and held Chu Tingchuan's hand: "What's wrong?" So upset? ”
Chu Tingchuan smiled reluctantly, facing Zhu Yuan's black and white, cat-like eyes, the haze in his heart finally dissipated a lot, reached out and rubbed her head, and pulled Zhu Yuan to sit down with some boredom, before telling her about the Hu family.
Zhu Yuan paused when he poured tea for Chu Tingchuan in his hand, and her brows furrowed, she had never heard of this incident in her previous life, so it can be seen that this matter had not been caused at all.
But so many people died in the Hu family!
Hu Jia struggled repeatedly in such an abyss of despair, but it was impossible to win any justice for his family in his life, which was something that sounded unbearable.
Does an ordinary person deserve to die?
As a businessman, they don't have a tough backer, they don't have the skills to reach the sky, so they should stay where they are and kill them, even if they are the lives of a large family, even if they are kind and charitable, and they can take their whole family to fight the flood on the embankment for the sake of their hometown to fight the flood, just because their background is not hard enough to get shelter, so they deserve to be designed?!
Do the people of the Wang family still have a conscience?!
Thinking that Meng Fu pointed at Wang Yan and sneered, saying Do you think your family is all good people, Zhu Yuan was rarely a little silent.
Yes, it is very difficult for people with power to keep their hearts.
Those benefits are at their fingertips, as long as they move their fingers, there will be people who are willing to do their best for them and send them to their eyes, where do they care about the life and death of others?
After being silent for a while, seeing Chu Tingchuan drinking tea with a cup, Zhu Yuan spoke: "That...... Your Highness, the princess is here today for this reason?
Chu Tingchuan nodded silently.
Zhu Yuan was silent again.
There are many unsolved cases in the Criminal Department that have been sealed for many years, but this one is related to the Wang family, is it really just a coincidence?
Or is someone going to push Chu Tingchuan to take care of this case?
If Chu Tingchuan really tried this case, tried it fairly, and gave Master Wang and Wang Shun to the law, what about Mrs. Wang?
How could Wang Taifu be alone?
At the very least, he is also guilty of being a lax godson!
The imperial historians all have tongues, and there are many imperial histories that are really characterful, and they are still indignant when they listen to these tragic events, let alone those imperial historians?
At that time, the Wang family will fall into an embarrassing situation.
And all this can be said to be caused by Chu Tingchuan.
This is not to say that Chu Tingchuan did something wrong, but in fact, after all, Wang Taifu has taken on the reputation of Chu Tingchuan's teacher, and Chu Tingchuan is so righteous to kill his relatives, so what will the other subordinate officials of the East Palace think? What will the people who were attached to the East Palace think before?
They would definitely feel that Wang Taifu had helped the East Palace so much, and at such a critical juncture, the East Palace still didn't care about the feelings at all, so that Chu Tingchuan's previous accumulated connections would definitely be damaged.
However, Zhu Yuan did not dwell on this issue for too long.
As Chu Tingchuan said, what needs to be considered now is not this, but justice.
In his position, since Chu Tingchuan is in the Criminal Department, he should do a good job in the Criminal Department, and as for the rest, he should put it behind.
She shook Chu Tingchuan's hand and said softly: "Your Highness's ability to participate in this case shows that there is indeed justice in this world, since you have decided to do it, you don't have to worry about anything else, no matter what, I will always accompany Your Highness." ”
No matter how difficult the road ahead is, she will accompany Chu Tingchuan to the end.
Chu Tingchuan's gloom and anxiety were miraculously soothed by Zhu Yuan's words, he looked at Zhu Yuan with a smile, nodded heavily, and after a long time, he exhaled a breath.
On the other hand, I heard that this matter was related to the Wang family, and even the Queen Mother asked about Zhu Yuan with concern.
Zhu Yuan did not hide it, and told the Queen Mother everything Chu Tingchuan said.
The Queen Mother and Empress Wei didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so they didn't say anything for a while.
Empress Wei originally planned to ask Chu Tingchuan not to do too much, after all, Wang Taifu was Chu Tingchuan's teacher, she wanted to look at the Buddha face without looking at the monk's face, but she didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so naturally she couldn't show favoritism.
Otherwise, Emperor Jiaping should suspect Chu Tingchuan.
She sighed, frowning a little worriedly.
The Queen Mother didn't have too many concerns, she just said coldly: "The country has been peaceful for a long time, it seems that these people have forgotten how the previous dynasty perished, if this kind of thing is not found out clearly, who will still believe in the country's national law in the future?!" ”
What Zhu Yuan wanted to say was said by the Queen Mother first, so she nodded and sighed: "No, in fact, His Royal Highness is also sad in his heart, but is it because of embarrassment, because of his identity, he really doesn't care about this matter, so that the Hu family's case will drag on so unexplained forever?" If it fails, the state will always have its own laws. ”
Before Empress Wei could speak, Emperor Jiaping's hearty laughter came from outside the hall.
Emperor Jiaping walked in immediately, and everyone except the Queen Mother hurriedly got up to salute.
Emperor Jiaping called forgiven, and tended to salute the Queen Mother, before he glanced at Zhu Yuan approvingly, nodded and said: "What the crown princess said is that the state has national laws, and you can do what you want!" ”
