In the yamen of the Criminal Department, Chu Qianlan flipped through the official document handed over to him by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and said lightly: "Since the evidence is insufficient, the person is released, why is it difficult for the adults to be like this?" ”

Master Shang Shuji of the Criminal Department is round and white, and he looks like a ball of harmony. At this time, he didn't have a kind smile on his face, but a bitter face: "Although there are no witnesses who witnessed the process of the suspect's murder, everyone heard the screams and watched the suspect escape from the boat in a panic. Now this matter is ...... trouble"

He paused, raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Highness, the lower officials didn't dare to alarm you originally, but now that these two parties are stalemate, the lower officials are really hard to judge, and I ask Your Highness to have an idea." Settle this case as soon as possible. ”

Chu Qianlan threw the official document on the desk with a "snap", and looked at the round criminal department book with a slight smile, "Lord Ji is not easy to judge, what law do I have?" ”

"In the end, this case is related to the eldest princess and the reputation of the royal family, and it is not easy for the lower officials to judge arbitrarily, and His Royal Highness can only decide this matter. I also ask His Highness to be sympathetic to the lower officials. It would be nice to close this matter as soon as possible. ”

"Since Lord Ji begged me, if I don't come forward, my father won't be able to explain it. In that case, I'll reluctantly accept it. Chu Qianlan had seen enough of Bai Yuan's funny appearance and couldn't help wiping her sweat, so she said lightly. Suspects, are you ready to try? ”

"I have tried it. It's just that he refuses to admit that he killed someone, and given his identity, it's not easy to punish him. Seeing that Chu Qianlan took this hot potato, Lord Ji immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

Chu Qianlan got up and casually dusted off her robe, which had no dust at all, "Since that's the case, then I have to go to the prison of the Criminal Department to investigate our noble suspect." ”

In fact, this was originally a murder case that was not difficult to handle, and the two young men made an appointment to go to the flower boat to drink flower wine. Who drank too much wine, and at the same time fell in love with a boat lady, taking advantage of the wine, he moved his fists without saying a word, one of them was killed by the other, and even the boat girl was killed. When the perpetrator escaped from the flower boat, many male brothers saw it, but the perpetrator was the eldest princess's son, and the eldest princess thought that although his son came out of the boat, whether she killed another male brother and the boat lady, but no one could tell, she even said that Xu was the boat girl and the victim had a dispute, and it was possible for the two to beat each other to death.

No one in the criminal department is not afraid of this eldest princess who is very protective of her cubs, but the victim is not from an ordinary background, his ancestor is a general who has established a great career with the first emperor, and the iron coupon of the Danshu issued by the first emperor himself is still enshrined in his ancestral hall.

I want to close the case hastily, but the victim's family disagrees, and I want to try it carefully and convict, but the eldest princess doesn't agree, what should I do? The head of the criminal department was about to turn white, and when he didn't know if the hat on his head could be kept, the three emperors passed the word and asked him to hand over this hot potato to the seven emperors. It was as if he had heard the most wonderful gospel in the world, and he thought that the Seven Emperors would definitely not take over so happily.

As Chu Qianlan went to the prison of the Criminal Department, Shangshu of the Criminal Department wiped his sweat again, but fortunately, this hot potato was handed over.

The eldest princess married into the Changxin Marquis Mansion, and Wang Xinyi was such a lone seedling under her knees, so when Chu Qianlan and Lord Ji arrived at the prison, they heard Wang Xinyi shouting and scolding.

"A little chop, let you send good wine and meat to the uncle, what the hell did you send this?"

"The little lady raised, dare to be so slow uncle, and when the uncle goes out, you will feel good!"

"Ji Zhong, you dead king, don't let the uncle out quickly, you just wait to throw your black yarn hat!"

……

The corners of Master Ji's mouth, who was scolded as the eighth king of death, twitched fiercely, but he looked at Chu Qianlan who was slightly raised with a wry smile, "This prince has been in high spirits for a few days, and he has been so energetic every day, has he shocked His Highness?" ”

The Three Emperors have explained, it is best to let the Seven Emperors re-establish Wang Xinyi, so that the eldest princess is completely annoyed with him.

Chu Qianlan ignored him, and looked at Wang Xinyi, who had been in prison for a few days but was still refreshed, from a distance of a few steps. This person's appearance is good, but a pair of peach blossom eyes not only did not show the grace they should have, but destroyed the grace that these peach blossom eyes should have because of their often fierce face.

He was not wearing prison clothes, and his clothes were clean, so it was evident that someone must have brought him clothes to change every day. As soon as his eyes turned, he fell on the bed behind him, the straw bed where ordinary prisoners slept on, but when he came here, it was replaced by a splendid tent, Chu Qianlan looked at the bed piled up by Ayaluo, hooked her lips and smiled. Azaba.

Lord Ji secretly observed his expression, and when he saw this, he also smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice: "The eldest princess is such a baby bump, I'm worried that he won't eat or sleep well, these days almost every two hours, someone will send the east and west, and the jailer doesn't dare to stop him---- look at that prince, how does he look like a prisoner, it's just a change of place to make a fortune." ”

It can be heard that Ji Zhong's opinion on Wang Xinyi is very big.

Wang Xinyi, who had been scolding for a long time, stopped and took a sip of wine comfortably, only then did he see Chu Qianlan and Ji Zhong walking towards him. He had also seen this Seventh Emperor, so he immediately turned over and stood up, ignoring Ji Zhong, and greeted Chu Qianlan with a smile on his face and said, "Yo, isn't this the Seventh Highness?" How can I work and come to see me, look at this...... I can't entertain you. ”

"Cousin is so polite." Chu Qianlan smiled politely at him, "I'm working in the Criminal Department now, I heard that my cousin caused some trouble, so I came over to see you, how about it, the people here, didn't trouble my cousin, right?" ”

He had an attitude of "everyone is a good brother", which made Wang Xinyi, who was still a little nervous, immediately relaxed, and laughed and said: "Cousin, you are too polite, my uncle is the current lord of the country, and my mother is the eldest princess, who dares to trouble me in this criminal department?" Cousin, you see this is closed, when will you let me out? This place is so embarrassing. ”

Ji Zhong's eyelids jumped and jumped, such a scourge, but he was born in such a person's home, if he depended, it would not be a pity to die a hundred times in this scourge, killing someone, he actually felt that it was enough to be locked up for a few days?

"Cousin, don't worry." Chu Qianlan smiled faintly, "I just came to check with my cousin about the situation at that time, many people saw my cousin get off the flower boat that night, and some people saw that your clothes were full of blood, by the way, the official also found the blood-stained bloody clothes from the garbage heap in the back alley of Changxin Hou, it was confirmed that the clothes were worn when you got on the flower boat that day, I don't know if my cousin has anything to say?" ”

"Just a piece of clothing can determine that I killed someone?" Wang Xinyi sneered indifferently: "This same clothes, there are no one hundred and eighty pieces in the whole capital to call it strange, how can you determine that it is mine?" ”

"The people from the Criminal Department have already checked, and in this whole capital, only my cousin really has such a dress." Chu Qianlan said unhurriedly.

Wang Xinyi frowned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Your clothes are made of very rare floating brocade, because it is very rare, you can't buy it outside, the palace is recorded in detail, in addition to the palace concubines have gained, Your Majesty only rewarded out, is the eldest princess's house, the eldest princess let the floating brocade make clothes to her cousin, the embroidery lady in the house once said, cousin, you like peony flowers, so you always love to embroider a few peonies with gold and silver at the collar and cuffs, this habit, not only the eldest princess and the Changxin Marquis Mansion know, the family in the capital, I'm afraid I know it all. ”

Wang Xinyi was speechless for a while.

Ji Zhong looked at Chu Qianlan with wide eyes, this case has not been let him interfere until now, just now he handed over the official document to him, and he just flipped through it casually, but he didn't expect that he even remembered such details clearly. Is this a preparation for a long time, or is it really a good ability to never forget the ten lines at a glance?

"Naturally, cousin can also say that you have already given your clothes to the people in the house, so you don't know where that clothes went and how they got bloodstained." Chu Qianlan said unhurriedly.

Wang Xinyi's eyes lit up, and he held the iron railing with both hands and said loudly: "Yes, that's right, I have already rewarded that dress to the people in the house, but a piece of clothing, can't my father still reward it?" ”

Chu Qianlan nodded solemnly, "Naturally, it is rewarded, but this floating brocade is a piece of His Majesty's heart for the eldest princess, and even His Majesty himself is not willing to leave a tailor to wear, if His Majesty knows that his cousin treats His Majesty so preciously, I wonder if Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with the eldest princess and the Marquis of Changxin because of this?" Lord Ji, if I remember well, the eldest princess and Your Majesty don't seem to be siblings? ”

Ji Zhong replied respectfully: "Your Highness is not mistaken, Your Majesty is from the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess is only remembered under the Queen Mother's knees." ”

Wang Xinyi was suddenly angry, "So what? Although my mother and His Majesty are not the same mother's compatriots, they have grown up together since childhood, and their feelings are deep, I still don't believe that His Majesty will have a share with his mother because of such a floating brocade! ”

Chu Qianlan nodded quite reasonably, "The Criminal Department of this case has been pressed until now, and it is time to give a good explanation to Your Majesty." Don't worry, cousin, it won't be long before you can leave this hellish place. ”

"You wait!" Wang Xinyi is not stupid, his intuition is not quite right, "Your Majesty is very busy every day, so there is no need to alarm him for this little thing." What do you want, let's get to the point! ”
