No one expected that Changning would suddenly attack like this.

Kang Shangshu didn't dare to resist, and with a sound of ascension, he immediately ordered someone to pass on the crime, and he stood aside to wipe the cold sweat.

It's right to think about it, this is the way that the eldest princess often uses, when everyone thinks it is impossible, she suddenly makes trouble and catches the opponent off guard.

Since Changning returned to the palace, she has used this trick many times, and she has tried it repeatedly.

Now everyone thinks that Changning will worry about Mu Qingyan's expedition for a while and focus on the northwest military, but she rushed to the Criminal Department as soon as Mu Qingyan left to interrogate Zheng Anhou.

Not to mention that Kang Ziming was unprepared, even Zheng Anhou was unprepared.

However, Changning is nominally the chief judge of this case, and she wants to be arraigned, and no one is qualified to stop her.

Zheng Anhou was taken to the lobby.

Now a lot of evidence is unfavorable to Zheng Anhou, but his title is still there, and he is still an official residence, so he does not worship in the hall and stands straight.

When he saw that it was Changning sitting in the hall, his face changed.

If Kang Ziming is the presiding judge, he naturally does not need to kneel and bow, even if Qin Taifu personally presides over the trial, he does not need to kowtow.

But this presiding judge is Changning.

Tianhuang noble, the eldest princess who was personally crowned by His Majesty.

Changning's eyelids lifted, and when he saw Zheng Anhou's stiff and pale face, he smiled coldly: "Bold offender, why don't you kneel when you see this palace?" ”

Zheng Anhou took a deep breath, he didn't expect Changning to interrogate him personally.

It seems that His Majesty handed over this case to her.

Zheng Anhou let out a cold snort.

His Majesty treated him with great kindness, and handed over his case to Chu Changning.

It's easier than sending a sheep into the jaws of a tiger.

Chu Changning had the evidence in his hand, how could he spare him.

But he knew there was no other option now.

"Wechen has seen His Highness," Zheng Anhou saluted as before.

Changning snapped and slammed the startled wood.

"If you are bold to commit an offence, how to call yourself, I want this palace to teach you."

"The minister is not guilty, so naturally he will not call himself a criminal minister." Zheng Anhou raised his head with a calm expression.

"Not guilty?" Changning sneered, "You really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." ”

Zheng Anhou twitched.

"Your Highness has any means to summon him, the minister is not guilty, and he will not admit his guilt."

Changning smiled.

"Very good, it's not a loss to be the biggest minister next to my father, and I'm really good at figuring out people's hearts." Changning stretched out his hand and pulled out a jujube red token, picked up the pen and drew a circle with cinnabar, and was about to throw it down.

Zheng Anhou's muscles tensed.

"Your Highness not!" Kang Ziming blocked Changning.

It's not that he has any friendship with Zheng Anhou, on the contrary, at the beginning, Zheng Anhou bribed Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department to alter the file, and sent someone to burn the file, and the piles and piles almost put him to death, he wished that Zheng Anhou was dead.

But not now.

"Your Highness is angry, rash execution will only make the world criticize, please think twice."

Changning smiled: "I know that the world will say that I am angry because of the Liu family's case and deliberately looking for trouble with Zheng Anhou." ”

Kang Shangshu smiled dryly: "Your Highness is wise. ”

Zheng Anhou raised his chin slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Count Kang Ziming's life.

"Then I will politely interrogate today, and no one will say that in the future?" Changning chuckled and asked.

Kang Shangshu was stunned: "This ......"

This is inevitable, no matter how Changning interrogated, Zheng Anhou was the chief judge of the Liu family's case back then, and she can't avoid this suspicion today.

"Since the left and right have to suffer this criticism, why should this palace endure it?" Changning smiled with a thin white shell tooth, and raised his sleeves, "Call this palace!" ”

The officers on both sides immediately stepped forward and held down Zheng Anhou.

"You!" Zheng Anhou was furious and struggled to twist his shoulders, but he was still pressed to the ground by the servants.

"Celestial Princess! You're a trick, I-"

"Bang bang bang!"

The wrist-thick stick slammed into Zheng Anhou's body, and he let out a painful cry out with his hands on the ground.

Twenty rods were soon finished.

Kang Ziming stood to the side and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Changning Shi Ran picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Zheng Anhou was already sweating profusely in pain, struggling to look up, facing Shang Changning's gaze.

"That's it?" Changning chuckled and asked the scribe on the side: "Have you recorded these twenty rods?" ”

According to the laws of Dachu, officials can inflict punishment on prisoners.

However, what punishment was used and how much the sentence was increased must be clearly recorded in the file and submitted to the sealed report to prove whether there was any torture under the heavy punishment.

Since Changning asked so, he obviously knew this rule, so the scribe was not worried, and got up and nodded yes.

"Remember, those twenty rods were given by Princess Changning because she saw that the princess did not worship."

The scribe was stunned, and Zheng Anhou's face turned pale in an instant.

This is clearly an excuse to torture him again, this is to toss him to death.

"Okay, now the trial begins," Changning patted the startled wood lightly.

"Zheng Anhou, there are your nine major crimes here, thirteen books refer to your excerpts, you can take a look at these crimes for yourself." Changning beckoned, and someone sent something up.

"Bengong knows, you won't recognize it, I've already heard about it, and I'm tired of hearing it."

Changning raised his hand: "Don't write it down, Zheng Qinhui refuses to admit his guilt, and the palace will be punished again within the law." ”

The scribe did not know how to answer.

"According to the law, it is okay according to the law, Chu Lu explained that continuous punishment is not allowed, but the punishment given by His Highness is not the content of the interrogation, so the punishment can be increased again." Kang Shangshu cautiously spoke.

Princess Celestia is really familiar with the law, and this hole is very good.

Before Zheng Anhou could react, he was pressed again, and twenty canes were smashed down, making him faint for a while.

Changning snorted coldly.

"Drag it down, Zheng Anhou still has a knighthood now, remember to give him the best gold sore medicine." Changning instructed, of course she didn't expect Zheng Anhou to recruit anything useful.

She's just going to make it look like this.

expressed his determination to fight to the end with Zheng Anhou and others.

With her today, everyone will believe that Princess Changning and the Zheng family will never die, and the next thing will be a fight to the death, and the smart ones will quickly stand in line.

Kang Ziming didn't dare to drag things out anymore to see how things were going.

"Next, I don't need this palace to hand it over to you, right?" Changning raised his eyebrows and looked at Kang Ziming, "If the elder is already old, this palace can transfer Xu Jie to help you." ”

"Nope! Don't bother Your Highness! ”

Xu Jie is the person who the princess focuses on cultivating, once he is arranged to the Criminal Department, he will come to his position, and Kang Shangshu doesn't want to return to his hometown.

"The minister has already found out some clues, and the evidence collected these days is also being sorted out, and he will soon be able to give His Majesty a note, and ask His Highness for a few days."

"Very good, then the palace will trust the boss again."

Changning banged on the table: "This palace is also for the sake of the boss, Zheng Anhou has many henchmen, if he escapes because of Lord Kang's delay, I'm afraid the boss can't afford this crime." ”

"Wechen understands, understands."

Changning no longer hesitated and drove back to the palace.

Because she knew that if Zheng Anhou was sentenced today, Concubine Zheng would still have trouble there.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the palace, she heard chaos in the palace.

"The Queen Mother had a heart attack, and she has passed out for half an hour!"
