Shengjing, in a separate garden. The inky black rubble resembles a half-curved hook jade, reflecting the uninhabited stone steps. However, the silence on the stone steps was only momentary, and was soon broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.

The carved sandalwood door was smashed open by someone who came.

This person is only a weak crown age, elegant in brocade clothes, soft complexion, a pair of danfeng eyes slightly raised, even if his face is full of panic, it also adds a bit of romantic charm. I only heard him panic and said: "Father, father, something is wrong, seven years ago, the matter of the Wang family was stabbed to Jingzhao Yin Mansion!" ”

Inside the room, the old man sitting on the Taishi chair lowered his hand and put down the tea cup, he was wearing a dark green official robe embroidered with emu, and his expression was indistinguishable from anger. He had a few furrows on his face, his hair was white, and he was clearly over sixty years old. This person is Zhao Hong, the county governor of Lichuan.

"Father, son knows wrong! Seven years ago, the matter of the Wang family in Lixian County was really a mistake by the son, and the wife of the Wang family survived, and the son knew that he was wrong! ”

Zhao Hong couldn't help but show a sneer, he said in a deep voice: "You are indeed wrong, so wrong that you don't even know where you are wrong, I, Zhao Hong, can be regarded as a wise person in the officialdom, but I have taught you a dull son, this is really my mistake." ”

Zhao Mengde's face turned pale when he heard this, his legs were weak, and he actually knelt on the ground with a "plop", trembling like a frightened partridge, "Father is angry." Son, the son knows that he is stupid, and he still hopes, and he still hopes that his father will make it clear. ”

Zhao Hong looked at Zhao Mengde, as if he remembered something, he sighed slowly, but his tone softened a little.

He has been childless in the first half of his life, and when his wife Liu died, he was nearly forty years old, especially afraid that there would be no successor, so the desire for children became stronger and stronger, and he accepted seventeen concubines, and only got Zhao Mengde's son at forty-three. The inheritance of Zhao's incense is completely pinned on Zhao Mengde alone. Everyone has the heart of Jackie Chan, and so does he, but he didn't expect Zhao Mengde to have a soft temperament since he was a child, and now he is so cowardly at the age of the weak crown.

Zhao Hong closed his eyes, but this was his only son after all. He said in a low voice: "First, what kind of system is it in case of panic? What about beating the drum and shouting grievances? The words of a mere woman, if there is no ironclad evidence, it will not be able to turn the storm after all. What's more, the people of the Wang family in Nali County all died in the bandit rebellion, but it was personally approved by the current criminal department Shangshu, and it has been entered into the criminal department file. This calamity was caused by bandits, and it is already a fact of ironclad nails. ”

"But, but father, the wife of the Wang family, Li Muzhen, was originally a person who died seven years ago, but now she is resurrected from the dead, entering Beijing to beat drums and voice grievances." Zhao Mengde hesitated for a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "Her appearance is already an ironclad proof." ”

Li Muzhen is not dead, which personally proves that the criminal department file contains errors. The case of the bandits in Lixian County, which was decided by the Criminal Department, is naturally full of suspicions.

Zhao Hong picked up the teacup again, he took a sip of tea, and half sneered: "The case decided by the Criminal Department, how can it be easily overturned?" Even if I don't take action in this matter, the Criminal Department will definitely not stand idly by. ”

The Criminal Department is in charge of the world's criminal law and justice, and it is like a net woven with heavy silk threads, and the sky net is magnificent and sparse but not leaky. In this case, there must be no room for error. After all, this matter is related to the criminal law of Eastern Chu, and behind the criminal law, it is the strict authority of the emperor and the power of the Son of Heaven.

"However, in this matter, I may not be able to give it to the Criminal Department as a favor." Thinking of this, Zhao Hong smiled slightly.

Zhao Mengde was slightly startled, he couldn't help but look up and wondered: "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Mengde, being calculated, not only did he not see through it, but he was vain and confused, which is the second mistake of you." Zhao Hong said slowly, he smoothed the wrinkles at the corners of his sleeves, and said slowly: "This drumming is a conspiracy. ”

Touching the whole body with one hair, the person who plotted just thought so.

- Use him as a guide to disrupt the chess game of the people behind him.

It's just a pity that under the imperial power, there is never a shortage of transparent people.

"It is not a coincidence that the Lee family has come to beat the drum and voice their grievances today. This was a plan, and the person who made the plan could be said to have firmly grasped the opportunity. Now that I am in Shengjing, if the Jingzhao Yin Mansion wants to, it can easily send someone to inquire about me. Zhao Hong lowered his eyes and said, if he was in Li County, the balance of the criminal law would be in his favor, and he naturally didn't need to worry.

However, on top of this matter, he has some miscalculations, and now Princess Yuanxi has returned to Beijing and recommended Jiang Ziyu of Yushu to His Majesty, Jiang Ziyu is obviously a chess piece of Princess Yuanxi who wants to enter the Shengjing game. This Li family came with Jiang Ziyu, and the meaning of this move is self-evident.

- Princess Yuanxi is showing that there is her instruction behind this drumming and grievance.

If a civil matter involves a struggle for imperial power, it will definitely make His Majesty worry now, which is not good for Princess Yuanxi.

I only heard Zhao Hong's words, and he said: "Mengde, you just said, you made a mistake in the matter of the Wang family seven years ago, but you must not forget that the death of the Li family was seen with your own eyes." Do you remember, how did Lee die? ”

Zhao Mengde's face was bloodless, and he trembled and said: "Then, that Li, when my son saw her, she was already lying in a pool of blood, with dozens of knives in her body. ”

Zhao Hong smiled slightly, in order to avoid more trouble, at that time, he sent someone to follow behind Mengde, and after Li Shi was out of breath, he also sent someone to push Li off the cliff. Lee's bones are gone. The resurrection from the dead is nothing more than nonsense.

"Mengde, how can a person with dozens of knives in his body come back from the dead? That's where your self-indulgence lies, and you didn't miss it seven years ago. ”

When Zhao Mengde heard this, he was stunned: "Father, what you mean by what you say, the Li family of Jingzhao Yin Mansion is-"

Zhao Hong said in a low voice: "That's not the Li family in Li County. ”

The person who conspired only wanted the identity of the Li family in Lixian County, and it didn't matter if it was him.

The matter of the Wang family in Lixian County is indeed a sin committed by him, but on the road to imperial power, the higher he goes, the more he will be stained with blood. The Wang family of Lixian County, which he got rid of with his own hands, thought that it was handled cleanly enough, but after all, he was found by someone, and even came up with this scheme, wanting to use the resurrection of the Li family, beat the drum and voice the grievances, and lure him into the bait.

"Father, then why don't you just send someone to Jingzhaoyin Mansion to expose the identity of the Li family?" Zhao Mengde's Danfeng eyes were dyed with a hint of anger.

"Debunk the identity of the Li family, and indeed this plan will be self-defeating." Zhao Hong said slowly, he rubbed the tea cup in his hand, "However, it is too much." That Li family went to Beijing to complain, and his identity was already doubtful, and the people of the criminal department would definitely send someone to interfere in the case file, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion might not fully believe what Li said. ”

Therefore, he will wait for this matter first.

Waiting for the rabbit will not benefit a lot.
