Xiao Lanhuan's appearance caught everyone off guard. Zhou Qingnian saw that he was dressed in a prince's regular clothes, and knew that he had no intention of concealing his identity, so he wanted to stand up and come down to salute, Xiao Lanhuan raised his hand to signal Zhou Qingnian not to move, looked at Mu Cai on the ground, and said with a smile: "You can see clearly, the person who broke your leg in Mu Mansion, but me?" ”

Mu Cai was so frightened by Xiao Lanwei that the three souls were gone, and he supported his upper body and retreated, screaming miserably: "It's you!" It's you! Mother! Mother, look, it's him, it's him who made people beat me in Mufu! Mother! ”

Wang rushed to Mu Cai's side and hugged him, she wanted to scold, she wanted to say that the person had arrived in court, their mother and son did not lie, and Mu Fu really had a foreign man. She wanted to say too much, but she raised her head and looked at Xiao Lanhuan, he stood there for a long time, entered the court, did not bow or kneel, he was rich and noble, his words and deeds were noble, Wang couldn't say anything about the words that came to his mouth, she realized that the person in front of her was unusual.

"Yes, it was true that I broke your leg, and I was indeed in Mufu that day." Xiao Lanwei straightened up, opened the fan with a brush, and said with a smile.

"You, you're pleading guilty?" Wang hugged his son tightly, and when he saw Xiao Lanwei admitting it, he felt a little worried in his heart.

"Bold! You are a sinner, how dare you speak to the prince like this! Watch your tongue! Yu Wenyuan, who followed into the court, raised his voice and said, "I have seen Lord Zhou, the prince heard that the dispute between the two Mu was in court, and someone accused her sister of adultery and arson, and the prince thought about it and felt that this might be him, so he specially found Xiaomin and came to testify with my cousin." ”

Zhou Qingnian got up at this time, walked down the hall, saluted Xiao Lanwei, and said: "Zhou Qingnian, the prefect of Hangzhou, has seen the prince, but he doesn't know that the prince has arrived, and he has missed the welcome, so please forgive the prince." ”

Xiao Lan helped Zhou Qingnian and said: "Lord Zhou doesn't have to be polite, since this king is here to testify, Lord Zhou is only responsible for your questioning of the case, above the court, the law comes first, it is this king, and everyone should be treated equally." ”

Zhou Qingnian got up, beckoned someone to lift the chair and put it aside, and only after Xiao Lanwei sat down did he return to his position. "Lord Wang, you just said that this Mu Cai was indeed injured by your order?"

"Exactly." Xiao Lanwei looked at the stunned Wang family, and said: "When Master Mu was alive, he had a half-teacher friendship with this king, and Yu Gongzi and this king have not seen each other for many years, that day it was indeed this king who came to visit, because Miss Mu Jia's heavy filial piety was inevitable to collide, and this king did not want to make a noise, so he only let Yu Gongzi find a guest house, and we talked about the old days and chatted about one or two. ”

Xiao Lanwei said slowly, "Who knew that Gongzi Yu was only leaving for a while, and the king's bodyguard, Chang Lin, caught a sneaky person pretending to be a woman outside the guest house. This king walks outside all the year round, whether it is the people around him or the king himself, this tendon in his heart is inevitably tightened. This man disguised himself as a woman and looked suspicious, and when he asked, he couldn't tell why, so the king could only be dealt with as a gangster. ”

"If you collide with the king with suspicious deeds, you should be beheaded according to the law." Yu Wenyuan followed closely and said, "The prince has a noble status, and he walks outside all the year round, so it is not appropriate to expose his whereabouts, so everyone in the Mu Mansion never mentions that the prince has been to the mansion." These two people first had bad intentions and infiltrated the Mu Mansion, and offended Wang Jia, the prince was merciful, so they didn't ask for this person's life, otherwise they would have been punished on the spot with this person's transformation and watched around the courtyard where the prince was, and it was rightly deced! ”

As soon as Yu Wenyuan's voice fell, Wang suddenly held Mu Cai and paused on the ground.

How can it be a prince? How can that person in the Mu Mansion be the prince?! It's over, it's over...... Wang's heart was in a mess, she made a lot of calculations, but she didn't calculate that this "foreign man" in the Mu Mansion would be the prince of the dynasty that they didn't dare to mention.

"No...... No way! Wang muttered to himself, "It's not true, it's not true...... It's you! Wang suddenly pointed at Yu Wenyuan and said, "You are afraid that Mu Qingling's scandal will be exposed!" It was you who found the prince to excuse Mu Qingling...... It's not true, it's not true! ”

"Prisoner Wang! Be careful! Zhou Qingnian was shocked and shouted.

At this time, the Wang family, who had long lost her mind, completely ignored Zhou Qingnian, and she shouted frantically: "It's not true! You officials protect each other, you deliberately protect Mu Qingling! What about Mu Qingling? Let her out! Let her come out! ”

"Bastard! The criminal woman Wang, openly flouting the court, give me a slap! Zhou Qingnian threw a token down the hall, and the official stepped forward, pulling Wang's hair to make her raise her face, and the wooden paddle in his hand slapped Wang's face without hesitation.

These executioners don't care whether you are male or female, old or young. I only guarantee that I can't kill you, but I use the greatest strength. However, after three or five strokes, Wang's face was red and swollen, the official let go of his hand, and Wang spit out a mouthful of blood and spit out a few teeth.

"But your son pointed out in court that it was the king who had his legs broken. Why, now your mother and son are going to retract their confessions again? Xiao Lanhuan looked at the miserable Wang family coldly, and said idly.

Wang's spirit was excited, and then he remembered that as soon as Xiao Lanwei entered the court, he asked her son twice if he had broken his legs. Mu Cai panicked, and the shout was heard by the entire court.

"Smack!" Zhou Qingnian filmed the shocking wood again, and the case was tried to this point, and there was nothing left to retry. Zhou Qingnian said in a deep voice: "Prisoner Wang, you and your son have bad intentions, mixed into the Mu Mansion, collided with His Royal Highness King Xiaoyao, and plotted against him. Do you two recognize it? ”

"Back to your lordship...... Sinner, confess. Wang was discouraged and replied numbly.

"Mukiwen." Zhou Qingnian looked at Mu Qiwen who was pressed aside, asked the official to chew out the mouth of his mouth, and said: "The Wang family believes that you intend to coerce people and occupy the Mu family's property, do you admit it?" ”

Mu Qiwen still wanted to quibble, but Yu Wenyuan on the side looked at him and said coldly: "Patriarch Mu think about it clearly, if you don't admit it now, it's just that Lord Zhou will bring all your Mu clan to the court for a retrial, and now you admit it, you are the only one who has been convicted." After admitting it, how many more people will be in your Mu clan, but I can't tell you how many people you want to get into. ”

The Mu clan has no leader like Mu Qiwen, and the grasshoppers after the autumn will not be able to jump for a few days. Yu Wenyuan didn't want to drag this matter on any longer, the first crime was dealt with, and the Mu Mansion had nothing to do with the Mu family. and their people, whether they live or die, go with them.

Mu Qiwen glared, looked at Zhou Qingnian, and then looked at the Wang family, who was beaten beyond recognition. Yu Wenyuan is right, he doesn't admit it now, and when the rest of the Mu clan goes to court, he will still be recognized as the first crime. He can't drag anyone else into the water anymore, there are other people in his family, he has sons and daughters, and they still have to live. If the clan is implicated, even if his children are not punished, the clan will not let them go.

"Grass People...... Confession ......" Mu Qiwen slammed his head on the ground, and as soon as the words confession came out, the whole person felt like he was crushed. Once, he intended to use his clansmen to coerce Mu Qingling into submission, but now, it is he who will be coerced by his clansmen. It's really a cycle of retribution in heaven.

Wang and Mu Qiwen both pleaded guilty, and the master in the hall took down the confession and asked them both to sign it. Zhou Qingnian took the confession and looked at it, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he pronounced the verdict in the court-

"The prisoner Mu Qiwen threatened people's lives with the intention of embezzling other people's property. According to the law, he was sentenced to exile of 3,000 li and confiscated his family property. The criminal woman Wang, framed others, committed murder, watched the king's driving, and was sentenced to behead according to the law, which was not his original intention, and his son Mucai was punished again, sentenced to three years in prison, and confiscated property. In addition, although the Wang family and Mu Cai deserve it, the Wang family did not commit the seven rules, and it belongs to the three no-gos, Mu Lian divorced his wife for no reason, discorded with the law, abandoned his son, and was humane. He was sentenced to 100 rods and confiscated his property. and the rest of the people, etc., shall be punished with the rod.50

The dispute between the two admirers, which was boiling over the sky, was officially concluded at this time. Zhou Qingnian had just pronounced the verdict, and in less than a cup of tea, what happened in the court spread all over Hangzhou.

Ordinary people only know that the Mu clan's intention to occupy the property of Mufu failed, and the first evil was exiled and the accomplices were imprisoned. But those people in the Gaomen Courtyard were shocked that such a case of competing for property and profit actually led to the King of Freedom!

That's the King of Escape! The emperor's favorite younger brother today! Such a big Buddha came to Hangzhou City, they didn't get any news at all, if it weren't for the dispute between the two Mu was too strong, the Mu clan intended to frame Mu Qingling for adultery during the filial piety period, but they were afraid that the King of Freedom would be idle in Hangzhou every day, and they would go in and out of Hangzhou City to fight a few times, and they didn't know anything!

The capital, the imperial study.

When today's Zizheng is approving the excerpt after the imperial case, the Xiao royal family is extraordinary, and the emperor is even more so. He has a masculine face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is a perennial Yuyu, and his body is extraordinary, even if he glances at people at will, people dare not make a mistake.

The emperor put down the fold in his hand, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said, "Fu'an, does Shengqing have a letter back?" ”

Fu An, the chief attendant standing behind the emperor, stepped forward, took out a copy from the thick stack of folds on the table, handed it to the emperor, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the cabinet where the little prince left this time has been folded." Just arrived the day before yesterday. ”

"Oh?" The Emperor chuckled, soothing the seriousness between his brows, adding a bit of tenderness to him like spring breeze and rain. "It's rare for this bastard boy to make a break, I don't know where he got into trouble."

Fu'an said with a smile on the side: "Look at what you said, Your Majesty, although our little prince is a little uninhibited, he has his own hills and valleys in his heart. There is quite a decisive style of Your Majesty's actions, otherwise, Your Majesty, you and the Queen Mother will not be able to let him travel abroad for many years. ”

"Hmph, just you can talk." The emperor replied while looking at the fold. Xiao Lanhuan's excerpt is not long, and I will finish reading it in a while. Seeing that the emperor's face was not very good after reading it, Fu'an said tentatively: "Your Majesty? But what happened to the little prince outside? ”

The emperor put the fold in his hand aside, his face was calm, and people couldn't see his joy and anger, "Shengqing, this time it's really meritorious." ”

"Yo, that's a good thing." Fu'an said happily, and the emperor snorted and said, "Good thing? As far as you are, you have been accustomed to him since you were a child, you want the moon not to pick the stars, and develop his temperament that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and now Longtan Tiger's Den dares to break in, so that more people are unwilling! ”

Fu'an knew that the emperor was afraid, if he was used to Xiao Lanxuan, the one in front of him recognized the second, but no one could recognize the first. Even the Queen Mother can't do it, Fu'an smiled: "Yes, yes, it's all our fault, the little prince can have such a temperament today, thanks to His Majesty's teaching." ”

The emperor glared at Fu'an, picked up the fold and patted him on the head, while saying, "Give you the guts." ”

While the two were talking, the little waiter outside the door said: "Your Majesty, the prince of Yongwang has arrived." ”

The emperor threw the fold back on the table in his hand and said with a smile: "It's just in time, Xuan." ”
