Chapter 170: Justice is at ease in people's hearts
After listening to Xiao Huai'an's report, the emperor was silent, and the singing and dancing music of the entire hall was withdrawn, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Li Shangshu thought about the current situation, and was the first to take the lead in coming out to help Xu Rulie defend him.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has no experience in judging cases, and it is rare that there will be some inconsiderate places, and it is reasonable that no one is born with it."
"Moreover, that woman is a clean woman, and her own family background is not clean, who knows if she is going to commit suicide for other reasons, if she blames the head of the Third Highness for this, it will be a little unfair."
After saying that, Li Shangshu hurriedly gave Zhang Song, who was indifferent in the back, a look. Xiao Huai'an and Jin Shan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, glared directly angrily, and even the Tai Lieutenant, who had never been nosy, glanced at him lightly.
Zhang Song was helpless, although he knew in his heart that this matter was evil, but for many reasons, he had to take out the things he had prepared earlier.
"What Li Shangshu said is very true, this is what Wei Chen obtained when he turned over this woman's family case, the Zhen family was just a small business, and the deceased's mother was also from the Qing Dynasty."
The voice landed, as if he was afraid that Li Shangshu would drag himself out with the help of Xu Rulie, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, who were completely made up, hurriedly lowered their eyes and stared at the ground, wanting to pretend that they couldn't see anything.
Xu Rulie was worried in his heart, he never expected that things would come to the emperor, so he could only hope that Li Shangshu would give him strength. At the same time, Yunosuke, who was listening next to him, felt that he could do it again, and leaned his back on the backrest with his hands and said cool words.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Daze, this lord is right. It's one thing for this girl to be bullied, and she didn't kill herself because of bullying. If in our country, if a woman dares to come out and show her face, then she will also bear part of the responsibility for what happened to her, not to mention the eight poles-"
Youzhisuke's voice stopped abruptly, Xiao Huaian almost wanted to stroke his forehead helplessly when he heard it, if Xu Ruzhu hadn't looked at it in time, he was afraid that he would finish speaking, and he didn't realize that he was talking to the alliance's opponent.
Yunosuke suddenly felt embarrassed, unconsciously made contact with the emperor's gaze, and quickly lowered his head and sat up straight, not daring to say more.
"Lord You also said very clearly, it is the rules of your Wa Kingdom, and the laws of my Daze Dynasty are not like this." Jin Shan was a scholar at a young age, and with his spirit and talent, he was very favored and valued by the emperor.
Maybe the emperor also felt that Jin Shan had a little bit of his own shadow back then, so he took on a special responsibility, and Jin Shan really lived up to expectations, but whenever there was any injustice, he stood up and went back.
Kanayama watched Yunosuke speak with a calm face, and even took the other envoys with him, so that Inoue River, who wanted to laugh at Yunosuke, also withdrew his gaze in a daze.
"Your Majesty, although this matter was not directly contributed to by the three princes, but His Royal Highness is a judge of the case, and he should naturally be responsible, His Royal Highness, as a prince, will naturally not do this kind of treacherous and criminal thing, but if you can get rid of the responsibility and punishment of mistakes for this reason, this is really unfair, and it is inconsistent with the laws and regulations set by the twenty-four generations of the first emperor of Daze, and it is no different from the law of the Wa Kingdom."
Jin Shan was not afraid, his words were concise and to the point, and he was quite straightforward, almost pointing at Xu Rulie's head and scolding.
"You-" Xu Rulie was speechless for a while, and Lin Shangshu, who was standing next to Xu Ruzhu, couldn't help but want to applaud him, even though he knew that Jinshan was not his party.
"Lord Jin is worthy of being the most talked about by the people of the capital after Lord Xiao."
Stepping on one by one like this, Lin Weiyong looked crowded, it turned out that he would be so careful, but fortunately, Jin Shan was more upright, so he didn't hear it much, so he politely bowed his hand.
"Lin Shangshu has won the award."
"Father, the son knows that he is wrong and is willing to be punished, but the son did not intend to disregard people's lives, but the evidence at that time was insufficient, and there were many cases waiting behind, and the son was worried that he would delay the important matter, so he had to be hasty."
Xu Rulie heard that the limelight was not right, and the people on Xu Ruzhu's side gradually gained the upper hand, and he hurriedly came out, so that the emperor could soften his heart.
This kind of reason sounds really familiar, not long ago it was Taiwei who just used it, but now two days later, the familiar Yan has returned, but the situation is completely different.
"What? Could it be that the Third Highness only thinks that a lawsuit for his life is a matter of urgency, and hasn't the Third Highness always been the most pitiful and cherishing jade? ”
Xiao Huai'an sneered, and Jin Shan also stood beside him very firmly.
"This, Your Highness said, Your Highness has never handled this kind of case, and it will definitely not be the case next time." Xu Rulie glared at Xiao Huai'an angrily, and his temper was a little bigger, although it was human nature to argue for himself, but his attitude was really dissatisfied with the emperor.
The emperor took a breath quietly, and saw that there were obvious signs of anger, the military department Shangshu Ma Ge was a clever ghost, obviously a civilian official, but he could be in charge of the military and political power, and he must have some ability.
He weighed the emperor's meaning, and finally had the courage to stand up and help.
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has no experience, and it is reasonable that there will be mistakes, but in cases like this, it is really inconvenient to drag on for too long, and Your Royal Highness will learn slowly, and it is really too late to catch up."
Ma Ge has always been like himself when he went to court, but now that he has spoken, he didn't say a word, which really made Gu Ting, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, feel cramped, so he also came out and echoed a sentence.
"What Master Ma said is reasonable, this girl died, because her temperament is too great, since Lord Xiao has already caught the criminal, otherwise the case will be handed over to Lord Xiao for trial and the girl will be given justice, Your Royal Highness has no intention, Your Majesty can make another arrangement."
Gu Ting is still too sincere, thinking that both sides will not be offended, but neither side will be pleased, there are a total of three waves of people in the hall, I am afraid that they will all have some complaints about him.
And the only thing that doesn't feel that he is wrong or even feels very reasonable, I'm afraid is Yunosuke, who is watching the excitement and drinking happily.
However, Gu Ting's words can be regarded as giving the emperor a step down, and in the face of the queen, he will not punish Xu Rulie too severely.
"In this case, Rulie is really not suitable for this position, there are many trivial matters in this city, and since Huai'an was suspended, there have been many mistakes. The original incident is the same as today's incident, it is just an accidental misjudgment, so from now on, Xiao Huai'an's official position will still be restored, and all the cases that have accumulated in the past few days will be cleaned up by me, I don't want to hear any more rumors in Chen Zhong that someone is using power to gain power. ”
went around in a big circle, and finally returned to Xiao Huai'an's hands, although Xu Ruzhu felt a little pity, but it was Xu Rulie who was really sad, and he felt that it didn't matter.
The queen hurried over from her bedroom, and when she heard the emperor's arrangement, she stood outside the palace gate, hesitated for a long time, and was embarrassed to push the door in, so she had to grit her teeth and let the magpie help her go back.
Soon, the emperor's order spread everywhere, Su Jiao heard it at first glance, although it was not enough to enjoy, but it was also an explanation, and immediately stood up happily, only then did she remember that it was not too early, she had been in the palace for a day, and it was time to go back.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty's eyes are also bright, and she finally didn't let that girl be wronged in vain, it would be nice if the punishment was heavier," said Su Jiao, flicking her sleeves, and Hibiscus helping Diecui also clean up her things.
"It's not too early today, the palace gate will be under the key soon, and I will go back with Huai'an, you are so good to take care of yourself, I will come to see you another day."
"Okay."
Zhang Yuge couldn't keep it, so he could only nod and agree, and watched Su Jiao leave.
However, hearing the quarrel and argument in the hall of Fangcai, his father was still involved, Zhang Yuge's face was slightly gloomy, his eyes rolled, one hand touched his belly that had been slightly bulging, and turned his head to whisper a few words to Wutong.
In the evening, Zhang Song returned to his house tired, on the one hand, he felt tired because Xu Rulie really couldn't help him, and on the other hand, he really didn't know what he was doing now.
Mrs. Zhang's face was not very good-looking, and after asking someone to set the meal, the husband and wife respected each other like guests on weekdays, but today they respected each other indifferently like ice.
"Madame-" Zhang Song raised his chopsticks before he could say a word to Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang still lowered her eyes, but she didn't hear it.
The atmosphere between the two of them was extremely cold, Qinglan felt a chill when she looked at it, and she didn't know what to do, when she suddenly saw someone coming outside, and immediately reported happily.
"Sir, madam, Miss is back."
As soon as they heard this, Zhang Song and his wife put down their chopsticks one after another, raised their eyes and stood up.
Although Zhang Song looks strict on weekdays, he still misses Zhang Yuge's daughter very much, Mrs. Zhang can still enter the palace to visit, but it took so long for him to meet Yuge who ran out secretly, and for a moment tears almost couldn't help but fall down.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuge felt a little relieved, took a plate of pumpkin pie on the table, and put it in front of Su Jiao.
"Mrs. Xiao just warned me not to be too anxious, you yourself are not in a hurry to come over to talk to me in the morning, I'm afraid you haven't even used breakfast properly, this is a newly made snack from Ginkgo, it's better to use some cushions to pad your stomach first, and there should be news in a while."
Hearing this, Su Jiao smiled embarrassedly, and was not polite with Yuge, she raised her hand and pinched a piece, speaking of which, she had really been thinking about this plate of dim sum for a long time, and looked at Huang Chengcheng with a very appetite.
It's just that since she came to this world from the beginning, in addition to taking care of body management at the beginning, Su Jiao can be said to be completely free of herself, since she doesn't have to bother so much to harm herself to make money in marketing, why not enjoy life.
