This Dali Siqing didn't dare to slack off, and was busy ordering people to serve tea, and stammered at Yu Jingyun.

Yu was shocked to drink a few cups of tea, ignored his flattery, turned his face to An Sheng and said: "These Sven people are too inkblotted, and when they come, I'm afraid it's sunset." I'll rest for a while, you don't let the messy people disturb me. ”

An Sheng bowed his head slightly.

Yu Jingyun leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, his nose twitched, his breathing was even, and he fell asleep very quickly.

Dali Siqing was bored, and he didn't take it to heart, because Chang'an was full, who didn't know, Yu Shizi has always been arrogant, and there is no one in his eyes? He glanced at An Sheng and quietly retreated.

An Sheng saw that Yu Jingyun's face was full of dust, the tips of his hair were covered with fine dust, even his lips were chapped, there were still dried blood stains, and a layer of green stubble appeared on his chin, obviously extremely tired.

He was so happy that he forgot to ask him where he had found the grain? In less than three days, once and again, it must be a day and night, sleepless.

Thinking of this, my heart can't help but soften, dripping lightly. In addition to gratitude, there is also a different kind of emotion that ripples slightly.

thinks that he is a pampered prince, and today for his own entrustment, he has worked tirelessly, wearing the stars and the moon, and going to danger with himself. Regardless of whether his father is safe or unharmed, how can he repay his deep affection?

Yu Jingyun slept for nearly an hour.

The emperor has a decree, and all the officials of all sizes are gathered, and they are guarding the door of the hall of Dali Temple, no one dares to speak loudly, and quietly waits for the prince to sleep well above the main hall, and his feet are numb.

An Sheng sat aside, closed his eyes and re-combed his father's case in his mind several times, making thorough preparations.

Although she has a wild temperament, she is not a big lady who does not go out of the door, but she has never seen this kind of world, and she is inevitably a little apprehensive.

Yu Jingyun finally stretched his waist and slowly opened his eyes, which were full of light and abundant, and the deterrent power in his body was surging. The whispers of the officials outside the hall also stopped, and they were silent.

"All here?" Yu was shocked that the tea in his hand was drunk again, and he exhaled happily.

The officials rushed in and saluted him.

Yu Jingyun looked at the sky outside: "Since they are all here, let's hurry up and try it, don't delay my evening celebration banquet." ”

The officials looked at each other, but no one moved.

"The trial is on!" Yu Jingyun urged.

Finally, he had the courage to take the initiative to stand up and be the first to ask: "Back to Yu Shizi, you look at this case, are you listening?" Or the chief judge? ”

Yu Jingyun glanced left and right, and seemed to suddenly realize: "Are you saying that I took your place?" It's okay to say no, and you still need to beat around the bush like this. ”

The man hurriedly said "I don't dare".

Yu Jingyun got up consciously and pulled An Sheng's hand: "Let's go to the side to listen, lest they have favoritism." ”

All the officials declared that they "did not dare" and were sincerely afraid.

Naturally, there are officials with eyesight, and without giving orders, they set up an auditorium under the hall, and Yu Jingyun dragged An Sheng: "Sit." ”

Someone else boldly spoke: "Yu Shizi, this, this girl heard that she is involved with the defendant in this case, and she is not an official of the imperial court, so it doesn't seem appropriate to sit here, right?" ”

Yu Jingyun said coldly: "This son is also involved with this girl, that is to say, he also has a relationship with the criminal Xia Yunhai, should he also avoid it?" ”

A person next to him quietly tugged on the man's sleeve, and the man quietly lowered his head: "Don't dare, it's the lower official who is too talkative." ”

An Sheng, as a little girl who is accustomed to seeing other people's faces and seeking a living, is now following Yu Jingyun's side, above the hall of this Dali Temple, those court officials who have been showing off their martial arts in the past day nodded at him, extremely polite, and An Sheng was also a little flattered for a while.

Several people humbly sat on the hall with each other, the shocking wood in their hands was raised high, glanced at Yu Jingyun, and fell gently: "Take the defendant!" ”

The sound of heavy chains, after eating the severed meal, Xia Yuanwai, who had survived the disaster, was taken to the lobby, lowered his head in disbelief, and knelt honestly under the hall.

Dali Siqing secretly coveted Yu Jingyun's face, and instructed the officials: "Open the iron chain shackles." ”

The official received the order and stepped forward to remove the shackles.

Xia Ansheng on the side was already in tears, where could he still sit on the high hall safely? got up and rushed to Xia Yunhai, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Dad!" ”

What happened to Xia Yuanwai who only regarded the case as a case, and his heart was up and down, where would he have thought that he would see his second daughter here? Immediately stunned.

"Ansheng? Why are you here? ”

"Dad, you're suffering!"

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to hug their heads and cry, Dali Siqing coughed lightly: "Xia Yunhai, today is your daughter who is beating the drum of grievances and avenging grievances for you, and I want to sue many officials in the household department for embezzlement and planting false accusations, and the emperor decreed that the case will be retried." What do you have to say? ”

When Xia Yuanwai heard what he said, his heart suddenly had mixed feelings. He never thought that at the moment of his life and death, the one who pulled him back from the ghost gate was the second daughter he had never wanted to see.

He also understands that his sin is ironclad, and he doesn't know how many people are in it and controlling all this. An Sheng was able to turn the tide and order the emperor to order a retrial of the case, which shows how much effort has been made in these days.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanwai couldn't help but cry, and he couldn't help but tremble when he held An Sheng's hand.

And Yu Jingyun, who was listening on the sidelines, has been crawling in the officialdom since he was a child, and he understands the darkness behind this case better than anyone else, and coughed lightly: "Xia Yunhai, whether you live or die, this is your last chance." If you have any grievances, according to the truth, you will naturally have this son in the world to make decisions for you. ”

Yu Jingyun's words mean obviously, he is here to support Xia Yunhai today.

Although Xia Yuanwai's official position is low, he naturally knows the famous Yu Jingyun who shocked the government and the opposition. Side by side with the prince of the Hou Mansion, with outstanding military achievements, who is not in awe of the Manchu Dynasty?

He bent into a trick and bowed his head and confessed, not because of anything else, but because he was weak and couldn't wrestle his arms and thighs, even if he had an iron mouth and steel teeth, and if he didn't admit his guilt, it would be useless.

The second reason is that he wants to die to complete the family, and he is afraid that his family will be dragged down by him again.

Now Yu Jingyun's words made him suddenly shake his spirit. Although he didn't know how his daughter had something to do with Yu Shizi, but with Yu Shizi's support, the grievances in his heart burst out.

"Lord Qiyu, the criminal official is wronged!"

A few people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other: "What's wronged, come quickly." ”

Xia Yunhai kowtowed twice: "The criminal officer is indeed guilty of leaving his post without permission, and he is willing to accept the crime." However, the criminal official was absolutely not corrupt and bent the law, diverted public grain for profit, and was really wronged. Moreover, this fire was not a natural fire, but someone deliberately set it on fire to cover up the truth that the warehouse was empty. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions, some were surprised, some were surprised, some were surprised, some were panicked, and they were all taken in by Yu Jingyun, and they snorted coldly in their hearts.

Xia Yuan said loudly: "Among the households, it has always been an open secret that Lord Shangshu Li has formed a party for personal gain, eradicated dissidents, and colluded to be greedy for ink. They have also been wooed by me many times, and the criminal officer has disdained what they have done, and has always been self-conscious, so they regard it as a thorn in their side.

At the end of July, Master Li sent criminal officers to other places to supervise the collection of grain, and he returned to Beijing in early September. After returning to Beijing, he returned to his original job and accidentally found that a lot of grain in the grain depot had been dropped and replaced with rice bran.

The criminal officer felt that this matter was not trivial, and it was definitely not something that one or two officials could do in private, and it must have been premeditated and organized. Therefore, it was not publicized, but only secretly investigated, recorded all the food deficits in more than a dozen warehouses, and handed them over to my aunt for safekeeping.

However, the criminal officials never expected that when the news leaked, they would come up with such a poisonous plan, burn down the granary, and let the subordinate officials bear the blame. It is not a pity for the lower officials to die, but they are unwilling to bear such an infamy, and they are even more unwilling to let these corrupt officials who endanger their family and country continue to go unpunished. ”

After Xia Yuanwai finished stating his grievances in one breath, he felt that he had finally spit out his sullen breath, which was extremely happy.

This time, it was still Dali Siqing who spoke: "You said that your account book records the deficit of the warehouse, how can the account books found in your house are all evidence of your embezzlement?" How do you explain that? ”

Xia Yunhai naturally didn't know the ins and outs, and the only thing he was sure of was that the account book was fake.

"The account book that was handed over to the hall that day to convict the offender is false! I didn't write it. In addition to recording the deficit of the warehouse, I also privately probed the time of some grain transfers, and all of them were recorded in the book, and all of them were tampered with. ”

"But your aunt in the house can confidently testify that it is the one you handed over to her."

An Sheng took a step forward: "Lord Qiqi, that account book was collected from the hands of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter can testify whether the account book presented to the lobby is forged!" ”

"Forgery?" Dali Siqing instructed the jailer on the side: "Give this physical evidence to Miss Ansheng for inspection." ”

The tone of speech is very polite.

An Sheng took the account book and looked through it slightly, although it was a copy of his father's handwriting, it was certain that it was indeed a forgery.

"This is definitely not physical evidence forcibly taken from the hands of the people."

Dali Siqing was puzzled: "The two of you are father and daughter, and this testimony cannot be established." What's more, there are people who have unequivocally exposed the crimes that accuse you of being greedy for ink. ”

"That Aunt Rou is the person arranged by Li Shangshu to be by my father's side, and her testimony is not credible!" An Sheng said loudly.

"What's the credentials?"

"The folk girl once saw her go in and out with her own eyes with Lord Li, the head of the household department, in Haizhen Pavilion."

"It's nothing." An official in the hall immediately retorted: "Just like you and I entering and leaving the lobby together today, it doesn't mean that there is any collusion between you and me." ”

An Sheng was speechless.

"I beg my lord to let Aunt Rou come out of the court, I am willing to confront her face to face."

Several people looked at each other, one bowed their heads, and the rest immediately agreed.

As soon as the order went down, a servant immediately went to interrogate Aunt Rou.
