Xiao Zhen and his entourage came to Jingzhao Yin Mansion, waited for a while, Lu Ji hurriedly arrived, saw Xiao Zhen standing with his hands in his hands, standing outside the public hall, Lu Ji hurriedly went to salute, and said in fear: "I don't know that His Royal Highness has come here, and the lower officials have missed the welcome, please forgive Your Highness." ”

"Forgive you for your innocence," Xiao Zhen glanced at him coldly, Xie Zheng was standing beside him, Lu Ji looked up and saw her, naturally remembering that the last time he was outside the South Fence Gate, this Lang Jun had spoken disrespectfully to him.

Xie Zheng nodded to him this time, Lu Ji immediately straightened up, but when he turned around, he saw Yin Luo holding Zhang Gou in the imperial history, and blocked Zhang Gou's mouth, he was surprised, and hurriedly asked Xiao Zheng: "Your Highness, this is ......"

"This person killed Zhou Xuyi, the left servant of Shangshu Province, and was bumped into by Gu when he absconded in fear of crime, and Gu brought him here and handed him over to you for trial," Xiao Zhen said lightly, so disdainful.

Lu Ji heard this, and hurriedly said: "The lower officials are afraid, since His Highness is here today, then this case can be tried by His Highness himself." ”

"No, Gu is just here to hear the trial, you are Jing Zhaoyin, this case should be tried by you, and you don't have to ask Gu's opinion."

"But ......" Lu Ji seemed to be a little embarrassed, he glanced back at Zhang Gou, then lowered his voice, and said to Xiao Zhen: "Your Highness, the rank of the lower official, under the imperial history, the presiding judge of this case, I'm afraid it's unreasonable......"

Xie Zheng retorted: "What's unreasonable, the suspect is not a royal historian now, he is just a murderer, is it true that you, Lu Fujun, still have no right to preside over the murder case?" ”

Xiao Zhen also said: "The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, even if he kills someone alone, you will be judged the same." ”

Lu Ji was still a little apprehensive, but when he thought that the prince was listening to the trial, he also had some confidence in his heart, "That is the case, then the lower official will obey the order." ”

"Come, prepare for the hearing."

Yacha immediately moved three bookcases, and took three straw futons, and placed them on the side of the public hall, Xiao Zhen and Xie Zheng, together with Yang Gengxiu, sat down one after another, Yin Luo also escorted Zhang Gou to the hall, Lu Ji followed behind Xiao Zhen, and when Xiao Zhen sat down, he bowed and asked: "Your Highness, that... Where is the body of Zhou Fu's shot? ”

"Shicai Gu has already ordered the yacha to carry it, and I believe it will be there soon."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a catcher leading four officials to carry Zhou Xuyi and Wyeth into the court, and the catcher said to Xiao Xun: "Your Highness, the body has been carried, and the woman is still alive." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment, he thought that Wyeth was dead, so he turned around quickly and gave the yacha a look, and the yacha immediately went to bring a basin of water to wake Wyeth up, Xie Zheng hurriedly said: "Slow!" Don't rush to wake her up just yet. ”

"Why?" Xiao Xun was puzzled.

Xie Zheng glanced at Zhang Gou, and then explained: "Shicai is at the inn, and the suspect keeps saying that he did not kill anyone, saying that Wyeth murdered his husband, and you can see that the hairpin in Wyeth's hand is evidence." ”

Everyone glanced at each other when they heard this, but Xiao Zhen was uneasy in his heart, listening to Xie Zheng's meaning, could it be that he wanted to exonerate Zhang Gou? He asked, "What does Deyin mean?" Could it be that the murderer is really this woman? ”

"Your Highness, don't be impatient, whether the murderer is Wyeth or not, Deyin will reveal later," Xie Zheng said, looked at Lu Ji again, and said, "Lu Fujun, please be promoted." ”

Lu Ji turned around and gave a look to the Yacha who was serving the water, motioned for him to stand on the side, and then walked to the table and sat down. ”

Quickly took off the square scarf stuffed in Zhang Gou's mouth, Lu Ji seemed to be a little unable to let go because Xiao Zhen was observing the trial, and he asked: "Who is kneeling in the hall?" ”

Zhang Gou glared at Lu Ji viciously, loosened his muscles and bones while holding his chin with one hand, and said arrogantly: "Yushi Zhongcheng, Zhang Jing'er!" ”

Lu Ji glanced at Xiao Zhen and took the opportunity to strengthen his courage, and then pointed at Zhang Gou and reprimanded: "Zhang Gou, this is the court, but pay attention to your identity!" ”

"Identity?" Zhang Gou smiled contemptuously, "The identity of this official is Zhongcheng in the imperial history, and you are only Jing Zhaoyin, when you see this official, you have to bow your head and call 'Zhong Law Enforcement', just ask what qualifications you have to say your identity with this official!" ”

"You..." Lu Ji was a little cowardly, and he was defeated in three or two sentences, he looked at Xiao Zhen, and wanted to ask him for help, but he saw that he was leisurely drinking tea, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

"This suspect is quite arrogant," Xiao Zhen calmly put down the teacup in his hand, Lu Ji heard what he said, and became a little tougher, and immediately ordered the yacha: "The suspect's attitude is arrogant and reckless, disturbing the court, he should be punished, someone comes, drag him down, and punish him with twenty rods!" ”

"You dare!" Zhang Gou roared, and before his words fell, he suddenly heard a rumor outside: "King Wuling has arrived-"

Xie Zheng turned his head sideways, followed the sound and looked at the door, and saw Xiao Ye hurrying with Liu Fang, she glanced at Yang Gengxiu, presumably it was this guy who reported the news, but she also hoped that Xiao Ye would come over, after all, it was his cousin who died today, and it was his henchman who killed him, she was just trying to see how Xiao Ye would choose.

Lu Ji had already walked down and bowed to Xiao Ye, but Xie Zheng sat down peacefully and did not get up, and Yang Gengxiu next to him also wanted to salute, but when he saw that Xie Zheng was still sitting, he didn't dare to move.

"Who said that you should enforce the law with a cane?" Xiao Ye stiffened his face, Lu Ji bowed his body, and was so frightened that he sweated all over his body when he heard the words, Xiao Zhen didn't expect the dignified Jingzhao Mansion Yin to be so cowardly, he sighed secretly in his heart, and then said loudly: "It's for my brother!" ”

Xiao Ye turned sideways, facing Xiao Zhen, and smiled contemptuously: "Oh? It turned out to be the emperor's brother. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Zheng again, and when he saw her sitting upright, he felt unhappy in his heart, and only felt that she deliberately despised him, Xie Zheng had already noticed it, but he only nodded to him, he disdained, and turned to look at Yang Gengxiu, Yang Gengxiu was also sitting upright, only raised his head and glanced at him, and then lowered his head again.

Xiao Ye also retracted his gaze, and said to Xiao Zhen playfully: "The imperial brother detained the law enforcement in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, I don't know what the law enforcement has done?" ”

"Then you have to ask himself," Xiao Zhen gave Xiao Ye a look, but Zhang Gou hurriedly explained, shouting: "Xia Guan is not guilty!" ”

Xiao Ye glanced around, and saw Zhang Gou kneeling on the ground, with two stretchers on the side, one lying with a corpse covered with a white cloth, and the other lying a young woman, not covered with a white cloth, as if she was still alive, he took a closer look, and was shocked at the moment, isn't this woman his cousin!

When he was surprised, Xiao Zhen said: "This suspect, he was secretly happy with the woman on the ground, and was caught and raped by his husband in bed, in order to stay out of the matter, he actually killed his husband ruthlessly, and Gu just sent him here so that Jing Zhao Yin could try the case." ”

"What?" Xiao Ye was shocked, he glanced back at Wyeth on the ground, and then fixed his eyes on the corpse on the side, Lu Ji lifted the white cloth covering the corpse in fear, revealing Zhou Xuyi's face, Xiao Ye staggered, and called in a daze: "Cousin......"
