Capital.

Zhao Tao asked Su Zi'an: "Didn't the people sent by Tang Taiwen to follow reply to the message?" ”

"Lord Tang sent Pan Dexiang beside him, but there is no news yet." Su Zi'an said, "Your Highness, do you want to ask our people?" ”

Zhao Tao bowed his head and said, "No need to ask, they have been in Luoyang for five or six days, and it is estimated that it will be about the same." Arrange things thoroughly, don't come back to me and make trouble if you can't do it. ”

"I didn't have an idea before, but now that I've left the capital, don't let him come back!"

"The slave and maid know, so let someone pass the word." Su Zi'an responded and went to do something.

Zhao Tao took two entourages to the garden, and a small chamberlain came in and whispered back to his side: "Your Highness, Lord Ning has gone to Qinshan." ”

There is Taizu Temple in Qinshan, and there is an abbot of Mingjue in the temple.

Abbot Mingjue was not very close to all of them, except for King Ning. Although he was not diligent, King Ning went to the temple the most often.

"Do you have any other arrangements for my trip today?" He asked.

The little chamberlain shook his head: "Your Highness's business is done today, if you want to go to the palace to greet the queen's mother, it's okay." ”

"Don't go to the palace." Zhao Tao thoughtfully, "Did King Ning go to Taizu Temple?" I'll also go and see if the fasting over there is delicious, or the abbot Mingjue is also going to rebuild the garden, or he Zhao Xi is avoiding me! ”

Zhao Tao took the car to Qinshan and found Zhao Xi who was playing with birds in the back mountain. Because after Zhao Tao and Zhao Yi turned their faces, Zhao Xi no longer walked around with Zhao Tao.

The uncle and nephew quarreled in the mountains.

Zhao Tao left angrily, and after he left, everyone couldn't find Zhao Xi.

Mingjue asked everyone in the temple to look for Zhao Xi, and found him for a long time without whereabouts, which alarmed Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi called Zhao Tao over and asked, "King Ning disappeared in Qinshan, you won't be stupid enough to really do it, right?" ”

"Father, how could a son do such a thing?! Where did he go, Erchen didn't know, he really didn't know! Zhao Chi asked.

Zhao Chi pointed at Zhao Tao: "If something happens to him, don't do it to you, the prince." ”

"Father!" Zhao Tao was just about to speak, when Ji Chun came in, also glanced at Zhao Tao, and replied, "Abbot Mingjue found Lord Ning in the mountain col, and he was seriously injured. ”

Zhao Chi flicked his sleeves and went to Qinshan.

According to the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Zhao Xi's left arm was broken, his ribs were damaged on the left side, and he was also left with a deep wound on his face that was cut by a rock.

Zhao Chi was furious on the spot, and beat all the people around Zhao Xi on an errand with thirty military sticks, and ordered Zhao Tao to stay in Ning Wangfu to personally take care of Zhao Xi's injuries until he recovered.

Luoyang.

In two cases, Liao Miao's case found the deceased's lost property, which is conclusive evidence.

However, there is no direct evidence in Su Qingniang's case, but with a complete chain of evidence such as the time and place provided by many witnesses, and can form a closed loop to corroborate each other, and other reasonable doubts are excluded, it is enough to settle the case.

Song Ning inserted the token back and said to Yang Zhenghe: "Admit guilt or not?" ”

Whether the murderer admits or not has no impact on the case, but if he does, it is of course the best.

After all, she needs to go back with this case and slap Tang Taiwen in the face.

Yang Zhenghe seemed to know her intentions, and sneered: "In this case, Lord Song will not get a student's affirmation. ”

"That's a shame." After Song Ning finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to him and turned to look at Yang Zhengben.

Said: "You concealed the facts of the case and tried to deceive the official and mock the law, but you finally woke up and provided evidence, and you have a meritorious reputation, the official will not sentence you for the time being, and this matter will be decided after returning to Beijing after asking the meaning of the adults." Before the documents are served, they are not allowed to leave Luoyang. ”

Yang Zhenghe kowtow should be.

"Su Wang's Clan!" Song Ning looked at Su Qingniang's sister-in-law, "You are afraid that Su Qingniang's matter will be embarrassing and harmful to the marriage of the two girls in the family, but it will harm Wang Xuezhu's life because of this, although it is not all your fault, but you can't get rid of it." ”

"Today, this official sentenced you to five years in prison, but I want you to delay your children for three years, and I hope you will reflect on it and set a better example for your children."

Su Wang's crying should be, and her two children and Su Yunniang also cried.

"Wang Yao's!"

Wang Yao was helped in by the villagers, and Song Ning spared her from kneeling.

"Wang Yao, people can't be resurrected after death, this official feels sorry for your mother and son, but the matter has come to this point, all you can do is to compensate you, do you have other demands?" Song Ning asked.

Wang Yao still knelt down and cried: "The women have already run out of oil and lamps, and it is useless to ask for money. Today, the adults can return my son's innocence, and the women are satisfied! ”

"The woman kowtows to the prince and the lord on behalf of my son!"

She knocked her head nine times.

"You are still young, you still have to live, with money to take care of your body, Wang Xuezhu will be happy to have a spirit in the sky." Song Ning said to Yang Zhengben, "Give Wang Xuezhu, Su Qingniang and Liao Miao's compensation, this official will give you the lowest limit, you can do what you can, this official will also be added to the file about you, and it will definitely be helpful when you are finally found guilty." ”

"Student understood!" Yang Zhengben said.

On one side, Wang Yangdan and Wang Zhutou have been very nervous.

Song Ning is not going to be sentenced here, she wants to stay in the capital and discuss it with Tang Taiwen.

explained a few trivial things, convicted Zhang, and she retreated in shock.

Yang Zhenghe was taken down, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly said to Song Ning: "Master Song thinks that after returning to the capital, can you turn over this case?" ”

"That's not something for you as a prisoner to worry about. In the next life, reincarnate as a person and become an official, and then experience the happiness of this official at the moment. Song Ning sneered.

Yang Zhenghe went to the back office angrily, and Yang Su chased him over, although he was weak, he also used all his strength: "Husband, you and I are husband and wife, why do you want to be so cruel to me?" To my death? ”

"Who is husband and wife with you? Do you deserve it? Yang Zhenghe glanced at her and walked away without looking back.

Yang Su stood stunned in place, and Yang Zhengben followed forward and said, "Sister-in-law." ”

"Masamoto, why did your brother become like this?" Yang Sushi asked.

"He is conceited all his life, no matter what he does, he has to control everything, and if he is out of control, he will not be able to endure it."

He was romantic, but he didn't want to bear such a reputation, so he has today.

Yang Sushi cried uncontrollably.

Song Ning stood at the door of the Luoyang County Ya, and saluted with the people at the door: "The two cases were closed, all thanks to everyone's help, Song is polite here!" ”

Everyone returned her salute and said, "My lord has come all the way to Luoyang to redress the unjust case, which is a blessing for our people." Don't say that we are just doing this little bit of work, even if we go to the soup for adults, we should also go to the fire. ”

"It doesn't have to be. Song did this for the official in order to win a future. You don't have to thank you so much, Song is also beneficial. Song Ning said with a smile.

The people all over the street laughed with her, and there was a scholar: "My lord, we only hope that the officials in this world can enforce the law impartially like you when satisfying their selfish desires, and really do something for the people, and we are grateful to Dade for giving him a golden body." ”

"It will be, the prosperous era is not far away, there will be this day."

All should be.

Dispersed, Wang Yangdan stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Song, the responsibility of the lower officials, have you also brought it back to the capital and asked the adults to decide again?" ”

"Yes!" Song Ning said, "However, Song has been around this time, and he has an understanding of Lord Wang's way of life, and Song can protect it within his ability." ”

Wang Yangdan's ability is not good, but the reputation is very good.

She is not the Eight Prefecture Inspector supervising the imperial history, and the removal of officials has nothing to do with her, she just said tactfully when she truthfully reported the impeachment, which is what she can do within her ability and authority.

Wang Yangdan is grateful, Song Ning is willing to let him go, then he should have no major events this time, at most he will reprimand him a few words and deduct half a year.

He was afraid that when Song Ning beat Tang Taiwen, the remaining strength would hit him.

Song Ning packed up his things and discussed the amount of compensation with Zhao Yi and Song Yuanshi.

Before they could settle down on the plan, Yang Zheng had already sent the silver.

A total of five thousand taels, which was disposed of by Song Ning.

Song Ning received it, and the two victims' families paid 1,000 taels, Qian Shaoen 1,000 taels, and Wang Yao's 2,000 taels.

This kind of compensation is very sincere, and it is very much.

Song Ning personally sent the money to Wang Yao's family in the afternoon, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she found that the trunk of the tree that originally supported the wall in her house was gone.

"Who took it?" Song Ning asked the village head, Wang Shishi.

Wang Shishi was also puzzled, and shouted at Wang Yao's in the house, it took a long time for Wang Yao's to appear at the window, and when he saw Song Ning coming, he hurried out, and said as he walked: "Adults go farther, the house will fall at any time, and it will smash adults." ”

"You took the trunk that held the wall?" Song Ning asked her.

Wang Yao's should be: "The life of the people's woman is also a drag on others, so it's just a matter of going early!" ”

Song Ning didn't persuade her to say anything, and she said everything that should be said. Wang Yao's emotions still need to be taken care of, but he can't show his wealth, for fear of causing trouble.

After she talked to Wang Yao, she asked her nephew to take him home to recuperate, and the money was saved for her 1,500 taels in the money bank.

Wang Yao kowtowed to Song Ning, and Song Ning didn't have much to say, and said: "Everyone's life is life, and it is not easy to suffer in the next life, you should live or live." ”

"I wish Lord Song a long life and a safe life!" Wang Yao said.

Song Ning thanked him and returned to the inn.

and Zhao Yi and they went back to the inn to pack their things.

In the afternoon, the group decorated the carriage and put Pan Dexiang and Jin Dong into the prisoner car, preparing to leave Luoyang and rush back to the capital.
