Chapter 68: Revealed
There have been no civil complaints for decades, and as soon as the matter came out, it naturally caused a sensation. Therefore, even the emperor learned of this matter and attached great importance to it, and the Special Criminal Department and the Imperial Historical Observatory also came to listen to the trial.
Liu Zhi appointed the deputy capital envoy in the Imperial History Tower, and it was related to his mansion, so he naturally wanted to come here, but he should be regarded as awaiting trial. When everyone saw him, their faces were inevitably a little strange, making his originally ugly face a little blue.
Ji Chenglin was extremely uncomfortable in this strange atmosphere, but he could only do things hard.
Uncle Li was pressed on the spring bench and beaten ten boards, although he was taken care of, but he couldn't release too much water, so when he went to the hall to meet Ji Chenglin, he trembled for a long time before he spoke. "Lord ...... Sky"
Ji Chenglin was stunned for a long time by this sentence 'Qingtian', in the end, it was the first time to judge the case, and it was a case that had to be handled impartially, and he was very useful in desperation. "Who is in the hall, and what is the complaint?"
According to the rhetoric instructed by Ji Erlan and others before, Mr. Li did not mention Liu Zhi, the imperial envoy of Deputy Capital Liu, but accused Aunt Xu of being the most poisonous woman, and Ji Chenglin made more and more decisions about the case. After listening to Uncle Li's statement from beginning to end, he went to recruit his aunt Gu to go to the court.
It is not a glorious thing for a woman in the house to go to court, let alone because of a murder. Not to mention that her man was on top of this court and let everyone look at the joke. Aunt Xu was taken to the hall tremblingly, and saw Fan'er standing aside, half of the person was already paralyzed, and she looked at Liu Zhi with a trace of luck.
Liu Zhi's eyes were calm, and she shrank for a while.
Of course, Liu Zhi knew about the things in his family, but how could he think that things that had been calm and calm would suddenly change and catch him off guard! Moreover, he also wanted to come out and express his stance no matter what: "Master Ji doesn't have to have any scruples, he will definitely investigate the matter to the bottom of it." ”
Aunt Xu was shocked when she heard this, all the luck in her heart was shattered, and Fan'er came forward to testify, explaining the details one by one, and she couldn't even say a quibble.
The end of the case was smoother than expected, Dali Temple went to the palace to ask for the emperor's will, and the Aunt Xu was convicted of being cut in half after the autumn, Liu Zhi's family style was not strict, resulting in damage to the interests of the people, and the impact was very bad, and the official was demoted to one level and paid for a year.
Ji Chenglin didn't show it on his face, but he was secretly happy in his heart, although the case went smoothly, although it was not his credit, but after all, it was the case he decided, which was very beneficial to his political achievements.
The distant mountains are light and foggy, and the smoke is faint. Ji Erlan's carriage passed by Gushui and headed for the women's school. She looked out through the curtain of the car and saw the east bank of Gushui. Thinking of that day, she was almost unable to hold on to the twilight rain under the water, and the king dragged the soles of her feet hard, and she suddenly surfaced, and at that moment, she almost had the illusion that the king gave her a new life.
"The girl's injury healed so quickly, thanks to the secret medicine of the prince!" Twilight handed over a glass of water and said, "It's only been more than half a month, and the wound has already scabbed. Today, the slave will apply that snow jade paste to you. Razor said, there will definitely be no scars after applying this! ”
As Twilight was talking, there was a jingle of bells colliding with each other outside, and Ji Erlan was stunned, turned his head and looked back, five pitch-black, extremely sturdy horses, dragging a wide carriage with gold lacquer carvings, unhurried, and coming in a hurry.
Twilight Ye smiled: "I really want to come to something, just when I talked about the prince, I saw the prince." ”
Ji Erlan frowned slightly, revealing a complicated look, the other party helped her three times and twice, no matter how cold her face was, she couldn't get cold, at least she shouldn't treat each other indifferently......
However, just when she wanted to give the order to stop, she said hello to the other party with kind words. The other party's carriage suddenly sped up, and in a short time it overtook them, and went away without stopping for half a minute.
Ji Erlan's face darkened.
Twilight asked, "Huh? Why did Lord Du leave like this? ”
Twilight Chun secretly pulled her sleeve on the side, and Twilight saw Ji Erlan's depressed face, smiled awkwardly, and comforted: "Girl, the prince must be in a hurry......
Ji Erlan twisted her head out the window and sulked a lot. After a while, she realized that she had already stopped her heart, and there were few things that could move her, what was wrong? Actually by a cheeky one?
When she arrived at the door of the girls' school, Ji Erlan saw Cheng Xiaoxiao standing there looking at her at a glance, and she couldn't help but have a headache. Since that night, Cheng Xiaoxiao has become a 'grandmother'......
"Erlan, are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time, let's go in together! ”
"Erlan, have you eaten all the things I gave you, have you used them?"
"Er Lan, after school today, how about I take you to Changyue Tower to eat roast goose?"
"Er Lan, there is a riding shot today, you must not get a wound!"
Ji Erlan couldn't help but laugh and agreed, while silently enduring the extremely strange stares everywhere. Today is the first time she has come to the women's school since she was injured, and everyone is more curious and quietly watching.
Because Cheng Xiaoxiao's performance is really strange!
Ji Tianjiao has always come earlier than Ji Erlan, she silently stared at Cheng Xiaoxiao beside Ji Erlan in the distance, gritting her teeth with hatred.
She didn't know why Cheng Xiaoxiao changed suddenly, she only knew that without Cheng Xiaoxiao, the ladies she had dated didn't even want to say a word to her, and her eyes were still on her nostrils! Just yesterday, she couldn't hold back and took the initiative to talk to Cheng Xiaoxiao, wanting to test what the other party meant, but only got the other party's disdain and warning.
Cheng Xiaoxiao said to her: "You are a concubine from a low-income family, you really shouldn't be in a place like women's school." It's just that, after all, I introduced you before, and you are Er Lan's sister, and when I kicked you out, she didn't look good, so I didn't say anything. However, you remember, don't cause trouble, secretly make small moves, otherwise, I will never spare you! Hum! ”
Ji Tianjiao clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't go up to tear this pair of sluts apart. Before, it was obvious that Cheng Xiaoxiao took the initiative to find her and asked her to help deal with Ji Erlan, but at this time, she was treated like a rag that no one wanted, and she was ruthlessly put aside!
"Did you come up with this bad breath?"
A low voice suddenly came from behind him, and Ji Tianjiao turned his head sharply: "Who is talking nonsense here...... Yan, big girl Yan? ”
Yan Ling ignored Ji Tianjiao's astonishment, and just smiled lightly: "I hate them too." ”
Ji Tianjiao couldn't believe it, under normal circumstances, everyone in their own homes can't talk about other people's things at will, let alone others. And Yan Lingtian not only took the initiative to talk to her, but also said such heartfelt words. "Really, really?"
Yan Lingtian glanced at her very meaningfully, nodded and turned to leave.
Ji Tianjiao was stunned in place, was Yan Lingtian showing favor to her? She returned to her case in a trance, and Ji Rujun asked, "Big sister, where have you been?" I was trying to find you. ”
Except for a few maidservants around Ji Tianjiao, there is no one to discuss, and Ji Rujun is well-behaved and obedient on weekdays, and never disobeys her, so Ji Tianjiao will subconsciously talk to Ji Rujun about anything. She thought about it for a while and whispered to her, "Sister, do you say that the relationship between the Yan family and the Cheng family is not good?" ”
Ji Rujun was surprised: "Why did the eldest sister say this, did something happen just now?" ”
"Fang Cai Yan Lingtian actually said that she also hates Ji Erlan, and the Cheng Xiaoxiao who followed Ji Erlan's ass recently." Ji Tianjiao hesitated: "Did she mean anything else when she told me this?" ”
Ji Rujun was surprised at first, and said after a moment of silence: "Sister, do you want to say that the enemy of the enemy is a friend?" ”
Ji Tianjiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind and said: "There must be something wrong with Ji Erlan's life experience, but it's a pity that Daddy is now being coaxed by Ji Erlan and doesn't believe my words at all." If I go too far, Daddy will definitely say that I am telling right and wrong. But what if we reveal the news of Ji Erlan's different life experience to Yan Lingtian? ”
The Yan family's power is huge, and it has no room to play in Ji Tianjiao's hands, but when it comes to Yan Lingtian's hands, it may turn into a stormy wave.
Ji Rujun's eyes flickered, and she responded in a low voice: "Big sister, don't be known by others." The second sister is very powerful. ”
"Hmph, wait and see!"
At noon, everyone gradually left the women's school. Ji Tianjiao slowly packed up his things, and turned around near Yan Lingtian.
Yan Ling was silent, but said to the maid beside her: "In a while, let's go to Qing'an Street to buy some hibiscus cakes and then go home." ”
"Yes, girl."
When Ji Tianjiao heard this sentence on the side, he immediately came to his senses and pulled Ji Rujun into the carriage. After stepping out of everyone's sight, he instructed the coachman: "Go to Qing'an Street." ”
Ji Tianjiao sat in the carriage, still a little restless in his heart. Yan Lingtian said such a sentence to her inexplicably, did she understand what she meant? What if she just bumped into herself standing there and said something casually? ”
She hesitated, and then felt that she was a little reckless, and wanted to retreat.
Ji Rujun said on the side: "Big sister, don't worry, it's just gossip and it's not in the way." ”
Ji Tianjiao heard this, and his restless heart gradually fell back. "That's what I said, we didn't let Yan Lingtian do anything, but we didn't intend to talk about it."
Thinking so, she looked out and saw Yan Lingtian's carriage parked in front of a dim sum shop called Xingle Pavilion. She asked the coachman to lean over and greeted Yan Lingtian as if she was also going to buy snacks.
Yan Ling's expression was surprised, but there was no arrogance in his words: "It turned out to be you, are you also here to buy snacks?" Their dim sum is delicious. ”
Ji Tianjiao smiled unnaturally, and asked the green frieze to go to the shop to wrap a few plum blossom cakes. said: "Yes, I didn't expect such a coincidence, Miss Yan is also here." ”
Ji Tianjiao thought in her heart, how to lead the topic to Ji Erlan, and saw Yan Ling leaning towards their carriage and asked, "Second Miss Ji is not here?" ”
"She ......" Ji Tianjiao thought for a moment, and seized the opportunity to say: "The second sister has a cold temperament and likes to be alone. It's not that our sisters aren't close, it's just that I don't know who she has with this temperament, and none of the people in our house resemble her, even her appearance, I don't know, I think she is not our Ji family. ”
Yan Ling was stunned, judging from Ji Tianjiao's actions today, she must have given her some useful news, but what did she do complaining to herself......
Yan Lingtian looked at Ji Tianjiao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and suddenly remembered that in the rain that day, Ji Erlan plunged the knife into the spies' throat without hesitation, could it be ......
