Chapter 30: Acquittal
The three-hall trial is actually a contest between several forces, and if you don't want to tear your face, all parties have to make some compromises.
For example, the verification of the box of silver taels, with the pressure of Prime Minister Liu Shangqing, cannot be too serious.
Finally, Fan Le, the secretary of the Criminal Department, announced:
Regarding the case of Ban Yue's embezzlement of military salaries, there is no substantiated evidence, and Pan Yue is not guilty. However, the lack of pork in the food caused the soldiers to complain, and they were derelict in their duties, so they should reflect on it behind closed doors.
Jin smiled and was acquitted.
The crowd cheered, some rushed out to report the good news, and some people set off firecrackers on the street to celebrate the safety of their heroes.
Xiong Yu was panicked, knowing that he was completely finished, he hurriedly slipped away, but while walking somewhere, he was covered with a black cloth on his head, and disappeared from the world.
The boy with a silver fan in the restaurant saw a smile coming out of the door of the criminal department from the window, with a soothing look on his face, and turned to leave the private room.
As soon as he went out, he suddenly saw the emperor's eldest son and Wu Xi in the corridor, and hurriedly retreated to the private room.
Wu Xi felt that there was some movement behind him, and looked back suspiciously, only to see Xiao Er holding a plate.
"Sir, do you think Banyue still hit the shit luck this time?" Shan Jiantong had been immersed in Banyue's case, and suddenly asked Wu Xi.
"Once in a while, count, but always so lucky, it's not shit luck, it's ability." Wu Xi replied.
This sentence strengthened Shan Jiantong's thoughts, and he decided to look for an opportunity to win over the nemesis of this very capable prince.
If he can bring Banyue under his command, he will definitely have another tiger general.
--------------------------
Hanxiao came out of the court and naturally followed Banyue.
Jin Ning smiled, his eyes were already squinted into a line, and now he couldn't see whether they were open or closed.
He saw Banyue limping and came over to help.
"I don't need to, take care of the smiling girl." Banyue waved his hand.
Jin Ning went to help him smile.
"I don't."
Hanxiao was very relaxed, and he wasn't hurt at all, but he just learned to limp like Panyue.
"Sister, you've worked so hard today, you have to let me do something for you, right?"
"That's good, brother, I just arrived in the capital, and I was arrested, and I didn't have time to see those beautiful things, can you accompany me to go shopping?" blurted out with a smile.
"Okay, when you're well, we'll go."
"Just now?"
"You're all like this, and you can still go shopping?" Jin Ning asked in surprise.
I've long heard that women like to go shopping, but they like it to the point where they can forget their pain?
"As long as there is something fun and good-looking, I don't hurt."
Ban Yue coughed in front of him, and Jin Ning immediately grimaced at Han Xiao and whispered, "I'll help you ask." Then catch up with Banyue's steps.
"The woman must not show her face, take her back to the house immediately, and she will not be allowed to leave the house for half a step from now on." Ban Yue heard the conversation between the two of them just now, and commanded with a straight face.
He was worried about the danger of Xiaoxiao showing up outside, and thought that the prince would not give up on her. Even Uncle Qian will be kidnapped, let alone her.
Jin Ning relayed Banyue's meaning with regret and smiled.
"Tyrant!" Xiaoxiao was unhappy, and said angrily, "Then I won't live with you." β
"Where else can you go?"
"It's my own business!" Xiaoxiao was too lazy to pretend to be injured again, and took a big stride to surpass Banyue.
How boring is it to be locked up in the General's Mansion and stay at home? It's better to live alone, so that no one interferes with you.
"What are you going to do?" Banyue endured the pain and caught up with Hanxiao and stopped her.
She looked at him solemnly: "I finally got free, but I don't want to lose my freedom again." β
"You must live in the General's Mansion!"
"I can't stand it when it's locked up."
"If you don't want to be caught by the prince again, you have to listen to me. Moreover, you are now Jin Ning's sister, my fiancΓ©e, and cannot be separated from us! Ban Yue suppressed his voice in warning.
With a smile and a blink, he almost forgot about it, and said stubbornly: "Even so, you should know that our relationship is fake." You don't have the right to lock me up. β
"Look for yourself at the porch of the pharmacy on the east side."
Looking east with a smile, at the door of the store, the eyes of several idlers were staring at her, because she suddenly saw it, and they all turned their faces away.
"Who are they?" Asked with a smile.
"Someone who is going to take you."
"Is it because I'm afraid of being caught, I have to be a ....." smiled and couldn't think of words, searching his brain, "Do I have to be an earthworm?" β
"If you don't go to a dangerous place, there will be no danger."
"I'm bright now, the prince dares to rob it?" I don't believe that in this big capital, there will be danger when you go shopping on the street.
Banyue didn't bother to talk to her, grabbed her hand, and limped and dragged her away.
"Tyrant!" Scolding with a smile.
The sharp gaze immediately swept over, and the tone was very stern: "This kind of beheading must not be said!" β
Say that tyrants will also be beheaded? He pouted with a smile. There is no freedom of speech in this human world?
Uncle Qian had already prepared, drove a spacious carriage over, waited in the square, saw them coming, set up a ladder, and greeted them.
Mu Ran saw Ban Yue holding a smile in his hand, and he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Smile girl." β
"Uncle Qian, the housekeeper." Ban Yue hurriedly let go of his smiling hand and introduced.
"Uncle Qian." A crisp smile was heard.
"Ugh." Uncle Qian smiled and smiled. This is not like Jin Hanxiao when he was a child.
The villagers in Zijia Village are kind enough, and they insist that she is similar to Jin Hanxiao. Then let's think she's Jin Hanxiao.
Pan Yue got into the carriage and couldn't sit down, so one person occupied a bench and lay on it.
"Can you sit?" Jin Ning asked with a smile.
"Of course, not as delicate as some." Laughing and hating, Yue is domineering and deliberately sarcastic.
This made Banyue very embarrassed, her dignified man was not as good as her little woman, so she couldn't stand the beating!
He turned his face away and faced the wall of the carriage.
The carriage walked on the bustling street, smiling and opening the corner of the curtain to look at the street scene, and kept exclaiming.
Jin Ning was afraid that she would affect Banyue, so she quietly reminded: "Sister, don't be like this, you have to learn to be Zhuang in the future." β
"Solemn, not casual in words and demeanor, not frivolous." Smiling back on the curtain, searching for the word in her mind, reciting its meaning.
"Yes, yes, yes, and don't smile like that, don't show your teeth."
"It's called smiling without showing teeth. How boring is that, if you want to laugh, you have to be like this? Hanxiao covered her mouth with her hand, but she knew that her teeth were all exposed under the palm, and said in embarrassment, "But when I'm happy, I just want to open my mouth wide, and I can't close it at all." β
"Learning, everything is learned."
"Or, brother, I'll go buy a fan, and cover my mouth when I laugh, so that no one can see it when I laugh like this." Hanxiao found a reason to go shopping, opened the curtain and looked out, and suddenly saw an artist breathing fire.
She exclaimed, dancing with her hands, and she didn't have to pull Jin Ning to watch it together.
Banyue frowned, what kind of girl is this, chattering, without the appearance of a lady, resting in the General's Mansion, wouldn't she be killed by her?
"Isn't it just fire?" Jin Ning didn't think there was anything to look at.
"It's amazing, why aren't those people afraid of being hot? I have nightmares when I think about it. β
"It's just a phosphorus fire, it's a ghost fire, and the temperature is very low."
smiled and suddenly realized: "Tricked me into being stunned." You humans are so good at deceiving people! β
Banyue felt uncomfortable hearing this, and thought to himself, aren't you human? Can't you lie? You can cheat more than anyone else!
To tell the truth, as soon as I got over the difficulty, I began to doubt and smile again.
is also playing the board, why was she beaten like this, but she was safe?
It can't be that someone bought the officials in advance to do something, right?
Who is the person behind her? What is the purpose?
Why keep her with yourself and not with the prince?
With such suspicions, Ban Yue really didn't want to bring her into the General's Mansion, but now she was held up.
She has already announced to the public that she has set a baby kiss with herself, and she is Jin Ning's sister, can she not stay?
Since you have to stay, you must lock her up and keep an eye on her at all times to prevent her from doing bad things.
