The sky over the capital was overcast.

Both the crown prince and the king of Chu were imprisoned by the Zongren Mansion, and the news that the two conspired to kill the king of Jin spread in the capital.

With the people of Dali Temple returning to the capital from Yangzhou to investigate the case, now the court is waiting for the trial of the four departments.

The so-called four-department trial is the joint trial of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Zongren Mansion and Jing Zhaoyin.

Originally, cases involving royal relatives were usually tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Zongren Mansion.

However, when the court asked Emperor Qingyuan, Emperor Qingyuan appointed to increase the number of Jingzhao Yin Zou Shigao to participate in the trial, and the hundred officials knew that Zou Shigao's case handling had won the emperor's heart over the years, and no one objected.

Now the people involved in the case have basically returned to Beijing, and they can start trying the case of King Jin's death after they just wait for the princess and her party to enter the city.

Fu Yuanyuan and the others spent three days on the way back to Beijing, and after entering the city, they went straight to the Zongren Mansion, and the discussion of the people along the way continued, and the faces of the entourage of the Prince's Mansion were gloomy.

"Niangniang, it is rumored outside that we murdered King Jin."

Yinbao's mouth was not blocked, and he picked up the curtain and entered the carriage and said bluntly.

Mama Pang glanced at her suddenly, and Yinbao was as if she hadn't seen it, "The slave asked, and the officers and soldiers behind said that the rest of the carriages could go back to the Prince's Mansion, but Niangniang's carriage must go directly to the Zongren Mansion for trial." ”

Mama Pang frowned when she heard this.

From the capital to Yangzhou, so many things happened along the way, and now I rushed back to the capital, and I didn't even let the mother go to the trial.

If it weren't for the good body and strong temperament, I am afraid that she would have fallen a long time ago.

Now, although he looks in good spirits, his forehead and eyebrows are difficult to hide a trace of fatigue.

Mama Pang thought about it and got out of the car in person to deal with the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple.

Her original intention was that the crown princess was pregnant, so she would go back to the prince's mansion to rest first, and then go to the Zongren Mansion to participate in the trial when the trial began.

The officers and soldiers of Dali Temple resolutely disagreed, and they were so angry that Mama Pang threw her sleeves back into the carriage.

Fu Yuanyuan didn't take it to heart: "After His Royal Highness entered the city, he went to the Zongren Mansion, we don't need to be maverick, just go to the Zongren Mansion." ”

She's not a pampered lady, so it's nothing.

Although she is easy to get tired when she has a big belly, the babies are well-behaved, and she is also calm and indifferent.

From the moment she drew a bow and shot King Jin with her own hands, she thought about today.

The crown princess arrived in Beijing, and the forces of all parties who had been waiting for a long time were ready to move, and after the Qingyuan Emperor passed the court on the morning of the second day, the curtain of the four tribal trials was opened in the Zongren Mansion on the morning of the second day.

The presiding judges of the four departments were Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and the Lord, the Prince Ling Rong of the Zongren Mansion, and the Lord Yin Zou Shigao of the Jingzhao Mansion.

In the hall, the four adults each sat on the main seat, and Qin Ze, Qin Hao, Fu Yuanyuan and others also prepared chairs, and only the plaintiff Jin Wang's staff and Shen Congyi and the civilians knelt in the center.

"Ascension!"

Li Shangshu of the Criminal Department was shocked, and was about to speak, when he heard a report from outside: "Father-in-law Liang has arrived!" ”

Everyone raised their eyes and saw Liang Gonggong running in in small steps, and said with a smile: "The slave was ordered by the emperor to come to observe the trial, and the adults continued, no need to take care of the slave." ”

With that, he walked to the side and stood still, saying no more.

The four adults glanced at each other, and Li Shangshu coughed lightly: "Who is the plaintiff in the hall, what is the complaint, tell me the truth!" ”

King Jin's staff stepped forward: "Ji San, the grass people, is one of the staff members in the Jin Prince's mansion, and the grass people have sued three today!" ”

"First, Ji sued the princess for killing the prince of Jin with an arrow!"

"Second, Ji sued the prince of Chu for aiding in the abuse, and privately transferred soldiers to murder the prince of Jin!"

"Third, Ji sued the prince for the real murderer behind this case!"

His sonorous voice echoed in the public hall, making everyone in the hall gasp violently.

This season, the three bold sons actually sued the prince and his wife and the prince of Chu in one go!

Prince Ling Rong, the sect member of the Zongren Mansion, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, glanced at the calm prince and the others, and said coldly: "Do you know that according to the laws of Daqing, falsely accusing the royal family will be exiled for ten years at least and beheaded at worst?" Are you sure you want to make such a complaint? ”

Ji San hung his head and said in a deep voice: "The grass people confirm that the complaint will not be changed!" ”

Prince Rong pursed his lips, touched the beard on his chin, and glanced at the crown princess who was sitting down with a big belly: "When did you say that the crown princess shot King Jin?" Where? Explain the specific situation at that time in detail. ”

Ji San still hung his head, and his voice was not small: "Go back to adulthood." The crown princess shot the king of Jin in the Shen Mansion in Yangzhou City, and it was probably at night. ”

He recounted the events of that night, and everyone in the court listened attentively.

In addition to the four adults, the plaintiff and the defendant, there are also many royal relatives and nobles who came to observe.

Everyone was very curious about the details of King Jin's death, so when Ji San spoke, the needles in the public hall could almost be heard.

"The crown princess personally shot the prince of Jin," Ji San said loudly, "There were a large number of people present at that time, and it was obvious to all, it was definitely not the grass people who falsely accused the crown princess!" ”

When the words fell, Prince Ling Rong of the sect sneered and said: "Do you mean that at night, the crown princess was thirty zhang (about 100 meters) away from the prince of Jin, and shot the prince of Jin with an arrow, right in the throat?" ”

"That's right." Ji San replied.

King Rongqing was shocked: "It's just nonsense!" ”

He pointed to Fu Yuanyuan, "The crown princess is pregnant with Liujia and has difficulty moving, can she lift a bow and arrow?" ”

"Even if you can raise a bow and arrow, you can see who is thirty feet away at night?"

"Can you shoot an arrow into the throat of someone thirty feet away?"

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped the shocked wood again, "It's ridiculous!" ”

The royal family and nobles who were watching were also inevitably whispering.

Everyone's eyes quietly looked at Fu Yuanyuan's belly, which looked like he was about to give birth at any time, and could he raise a bow and shoot someone thirty feet away?

Even if you change to a skilled archer, I'm afraid you may not be able to do it!

How can they believe it?

This staff of the King of Jin, shouldn't it be because the King of Jin is dead, so he wants to frame the crown princess?

Ji San hurriedly said: "The grass people are terrified, and the grass people swear that there is no word of lie," he raised his hand, "Otherwise, the grass people will be thundered by the sky!" ”

Everyone present listened to Ji Sanli's poisonous oath, and the skeptical people couldn't help but move their eyes to Fu Yuanyuan.

Prince Rong frowned, looked at Fu Yuanyuan and said, "Crown Princess Niangniang, Ji San sued you for shooting King Jin, can you plead guilty?" ”

Fu Yuanyuan held his stomach and owed Prince Rong, looked at Ji San who was kneeling beside him unhurriedly, and said slowly: "This palace learned that my great-grandfather was seriously ill and went to Yangzhou Shen Mansion from the capital to visit. I didn't know that I rushed to the Shen Mansion that night, but I saw more than 100 black-clothed gangsters setting rockets to burn down my great-grandfather's yard. ”
