King Pingguang is the second brother of the current emperor's mother, named Yang Zhang, who has always been peaceful and humble, and does not like the royal right and wrong, so he rarely interacts with the rest of the princes.

The emperor ascended the Jinluan Palace for seventeen years, but he became more and more evasive, only made some confidants, and accepted some customers to live a light life, which was not as good as the eldest brother Ruyang Wang, and the power was tilted to the southwest.

But no matter what, King Pingguang is a prince and a prince.

Ji Beihou was a little worried, this King Pingguang was afraid that the emperor sent him to save Cheng Qi, after all, that person was the great-grandson of the Duke of Qi, and after being counted as a benefactor, this was different from the usual show girl.

Because Duan Guifei's previous instructions were still there, and there was still some time before the three-day period, Cheng Qi suddenly shouted that he wanted to distinguish himself, and he had to agree in front of King Pingguang.

According to the rules, the official office of Liangcheng Mansion was promoted to the court, which was originally an errand for Xu Fujun as a taishou, but the current situation was naturally presided over by King Pingguang.

Ge Yuanjun and Xu Fujun are observing the trial, although they have the qualifications to speak, I am afraid they do not have the courage to speak.

"Why did Yang Zhang come?"

Welcoming those people into the hall, Ji Beihou walked slowly, his face cold.

Hearing him call the king of Pingguang by his name, Shen Zhutou was a little worried, feeling as if he was being involved, he didn't know the conspiracy at all, he just thought about the fall of the Cheng family, watching the Cheng family suffer, so as to avenge his innocent wife.

He is a patrol leader of the government, and he has been showing off his power in Xiaoxiao Liangcheng all his life, but he is only in the nest, and when he encounters the real chapter, he simply numbs his claws.

"King Pingguang is an upright person, and he had a very good relationship with the old prince back then, and now it is possible that he is willing to help the Cheng family."

Ji Beihou continued to have a cold face: "It's just that this little prince Jiang, didn't he say that he was going to meet friends?" How did Cheng Yan please move him? Looking back at Shen Zhutou, "Do these two have a good relationship?" ”

Shen Zhutou whispered: "How did Cheng Yan, this kid invite Jiang Xiaowangye, it is estimated that Mrs. Cheng has a faceless face, as for this friend..."muttered, "Xu Yes, the friend that Jiang Xiaowang wants to meet is His Royal Highness King Pingguang, don't forget, the little prince's sister Nanyang County Lord, the one named Jiang Yun, but the son of King Pingguang has a marriage contract." ”

"It's not helpful to say more." Ji Beihou watched the officials disperse the lively people, and couldn't take his eyes off it, "No matter how Prince Jiang Xiaowang and King Pingguang came, the most important thing now is how to press Cheng Qi to death." ”

After that, he took off his clothes and entered the hall.

Tang Wei was shocked, and King Pingguang sat at the table, unhurriedly arranging his sleeves.

This is not a trial or action, everyone looked confused, Ge Yuanjun and Xu Fujun glanced at each other, and the former muttered quietly.

"Isn't this prince in Shangjing, how did he come to Xiping within three days?"

"You don't know."

Xu Fujun's eyes rolled: "I heard that it was Jiang Xiaowang and King Pingguang who made an appointment to discuss the family affairs of the two families in Liaofeng, and came back when the spring was opened, it was Cheng Yan who took the warrant of the county lord of Nanyang and broke all the way over, didn't we open the dock in Xiping, and the waterway is also fast." ”

"That's right." Ge Zhijun also said, "That Cheng Qi's uncle Gu Hang, I heard that the newly opened wharf has his family's shares, and he must have helped from it." ”

Xu Fujun said: "Then this King Pingguang is coming... Did he volunteer to help, or did the emperor send him when he got the news? "Take a half step back," After all, Cheng Qi planned to compose a few good poems a few days ago, and the name was passed on to Shangjing, as soon as her story came out, it was passed on from mouth to mouth, and Shangjing would soon know that Xu was spreading the matter to the emperor's ears in this way. ”

Ge Yuanjun shook his head: "That's it, you and I are just watching the fun, whether this King Pingguang is sent by the emperor or not to oppose the concubine, don't speak." ”

Xu Fujun nodded: "Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"Ji Beihou."

King Pingguang on the high seat suddenly spoke, his body was straight, black and shiny, but he was in his early fifties, and he had been pampered for many years, and his state was still as good as if he was not confused.

"Lord Ji." King Pingguang said, "You came to Xiping to judge Cheng Qi this time, but the emperor ordered it to Deacon Qi, and Deacon Qi pointed you here?" ”

Ji Beihou heard it at the entrance of the hall, hurriedly stepped inside, and arched his hand: "Greeting the prince, I don't know that the prince is coming, and his subordinates are not welcome." ”

Seeing that this person didn't answer his own question, King Pingguang chuckled: "This Qi girl is also the great-grandson of the old prince, and she is the emperor's draft girl, with a noble status, how can she say that she will be beheaded, even if it is Duan Guifei's instructions, she is just a harem woman, and she can't interfere in the criminal trial, what?" You don't have a weigh-in mind? ”

Ji Beihou didn't speak.

Listening to the meaning of King Pingguang's words, does he still want to protect Cheng Qi?

"That's it." King Pingguang smiled, "Please Miss Qi to come to the court." ”

Seeing that this person used 'please' instead of 'mention', Shen Zhu's heart sank, and he stubbornly asked his subordinates to escort Cheng Qi and the three of them up.

"Someone's coming."

Ge Yuanjun also heard the meaning of King Pingguang's words, and immediately saw the wind and rudder: "Prepare a seat for Miss Qi." He smiled at her, "If you have any grievances, let's sit and talk about it." ”

Cheng Qi stood in the middle of the hall and laughed in his heart.

It seems that he is an official, and his acting skills must be first-class good, Ge Yuanjun is so enthusiastic and concerned now, I don't know if he has forgotten his prevarication when the incident happened.

That's it, she wanted to travel back that day, she was wronged and blamed, and all the dirty water was borne, but now she changed her mind, and naturally began to think about the rhetoric of the argument.

"You don't have to sit..."Cheng Qi didn't speak.

"You're welcome."

It was Aunt Meng, who came in with her to hear the trial, that opened her mouth.

"The grievances have not been cleared up, and the desert is still suspected of stealing the night pearl of the concubine, if you sit down, even if you are wronged, it is not very credible, and when the time comes, the people outside will say that it is a battle to get rid of the crime, and it is not clear and unclear."

Aunt Meng sat on the round stool, her face expressionless, and she didn't look into the eyes of others.

Cheng Yan stood behind her and said: "We are not afraid of the little sister suffering, but we are afraid that the little sister will be wronged and the crime of theft is not arbitrary." ”

Cheng Lan also echoed two sentences.

Ge Yuanjun nodded, and King Pingguang also meant this, so he asked Cheng Qi to kneel down according to the rules, and Nan Zhu also dragged the timid Qingdai to kneel together.

"Cheng Zongyu is right, Miss Qi is a little woman, and she has not yet left the cabinet, even if the emperor's amnesty is missing, it will be difficult to enter the palace with the reputation of stealing in the future, not to mention who stole the pearl this night, it remains to be retried."

King Pingguang continued: "As long as there is a grievance, even if you go to Beijing to sue the emperor, if the Son of Heaven does not hide filth at his feet, he will definitely avenge you, and the king also heard it, Cheng Qi, do you dare to be that the maid named Nan Zhu stole the night pearl of the concubine and maliciously planted it?" ”

Cheng Qi glanced at the guilt next to him, which was written and waiting for him to confess his guilt by his fingerprint.

"Back to the prince's words."

She said: "Three days ago, when Lord Ji came to interrogate me, there was no evidence to confirm that the Night Pearl was stolen by me, since I am suspicious, I can be pulled to the guillotine to see the king of Hades, so Nan Zhu is suspicious, bring it to the trial, why not." ”

King Pingguang chuckled and glanced at Ji Beihou, who had a gloomy face.

"Okay." He said, "Send patrols to the Guogong Mansion to pick up people." ”
