The next day, when Empress Cui came to visit her, Qin Zhao was sitting next to the Queen Mother and reading Buddhist scriptures to her, while Eighteen Niang was sitting on a small table beside her, copying the Lotus Sutra with a pen.

Her handwriting was very large, and the old man beside Empress Dowager Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Empress Cui saw that Qin Zhao and Shen Shibai were a little hesitant, paused, and still spoke: "Chaohua has an accident again." This time I was sued to Dali Temple, my father is now Dali Temple, and my mother came to inquire early in the morning, how is this good? ”

The emperor went to court, and Queen Cui couldn't make up her mind, so she hurriedly asked Empress Dowager Lin.

Eighteen Niang secretly praised in her heart, Chaohua is an existence that cannot be touched and scolded in the harem, and her status is simply overwhelming Queen Cui, she is eager to cut her with a thousand knives, but she still calmly doesn't want the Cui family to be the knife.

It's cool to cut it for a while, but how can the emperor think about it in the future?

Qin Zhao's voice reading the scriptures suddenly paused, and Empress Dowager Lin was also stunned, "It's about last night?" Isn't that the Caoyun Division in charge? ”

Empress Cui shook her head, "It's Xiao Ran, the daughter of Lanling, who sued Chaohua for occupying his family property, forcing his old father to death, and robbing his father-in-law......"

When she said the last sentence, Queen Cui's voice was like a mosquito, and she obviously didn't expect that this kind of crime would be placed on a woman's head.

This people sue the official, but he didn't say a word to kill the mighty stick, if this Xiao Ran didn't have a great grievance, how could he come all the way to Chang'an to find a fight?

"Lanling Xiaoran? But the descendants of the Lanling Xiao family? Empress Dowager Lin didn't ask anything else, but asked about Xiao Ran's identity.

Empress Cui nodded, "Exactly, although it is a remote side branch, it also has the bloodline of the Lanling Xiao family." That's why it's a dilemma. ”

If it is an ordinary person, it is not difficult to press it, but Xiao Ran is not, she is a nobleman and a daughter of a family.

"What the hell is going on?" Empress Dowager Lin was also cautious.

It turned out that Xiao Ran's family had a lot of property and opened a large winery in Lanling. Not long ago, Xiao Ran actually brewed a good jade millet brew. This wine is very sweet, full of stamina, but the materials are cheap, and it is popular in the local area at once.

The Xiao family relied on this wine to make money every day, which attracted the eyes of many people.

Chao Hua Ge saw that the business was robbed, so he opened a very low price to buy this shop. Xiao Ran runs a wine shop at home, and the Xiao family is a prestigious family in Lanling, so she naturally refuses to sell her hard work at a low price.

Unexpectedly, the wicked people of Chaohua Pavilion first coerced and tempted, and when they saw that it had no effect, they came to the door and smashed their wine shop, so much wine, all of them were smashed in this way. At night, I don't know where the fire candle was poured, and the fire borrowed the wine, and all of a sudden the entire wine shop was burned, and the raging fire lit up the night sky of Lanling City.

When Xiao Ran's father-in-law was smashed, he was injured in order to protect the wine, and then saw the destruction of the ancestral family business, he was filled with grief and anger, and he died that night, and his mother-in-law was heartbroken and hanged herself.

In this night, the wine shop was gone, and Xiao Ran's family was ruined!

Xiao Ran and Xianggong buried their in-laws together, so they went to the local government to report to the official, but the power of King Chaohua was too great, and no one dared to take this lawsuit.

She is just a remote side branch in the Xiao family in Lanling, and she is the daughter of a foreign marriage, and she usually has nothing to do with the natural family to take care of her, but if something happens, the Lanling Xiao family doesn't want to fight the king of Chaohua for her.

The two of them took money and prepared to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, but as soon as they entered Chang'an City, Xianggong Liu Yan was arrested by a group of evil servants, and said that such a good-looking little Xianggong would definitely like it.

Xiao Ran was a weak woman, and she could only watch Xiang Gong being robbed into the palace by force. She was seriously ill.

Xiao Ran's words are bloody and tearful, the person and the content of the complaint are strange, but her paper-like writing is like a storyteller, the listener is sad, and the listener is in tears.

This girl is a strange person!

Before the complaint, she scattered all her family wealth and wrote a notebook first, so that the storyteller, the troupe, the Qinglou woman, and the long-tongued woman in the village said it everywhere, and did not mention the king of Chaohua, and it was spread all over Chang'an City, so she went to Dali Temple to beat the drum and sound the grievances. The common people took a look, hey, it turns out that the story in the previous book is all true!

Although the storytellers are afraid, they have said everything and cannot take it back. If they knew that it was the king of Chaohua before, they would never dare to say it.

"Now the streets and alleys, in the teahouse and Chu Pavilion, are talking about this. My father felt that the matter was too big, so he wanted to ask the Queen Mother to come up with an idea. Empress Cui took the handkerchief, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother also had tears in her eyes, only to see her slap it suddenly, and the tea cup lid on the table flew up, and said angrily: "Is there still a royal law in the eyes of this Chaohua?" She was also a kind and filial good girl back then, how did she become like this now! I'm really dazzled by power! ”

Eighteen Niang's heart is dark, isn't it? Chaohua was originally just a maid, and once she flew up to the branch and became a phoenix, she didn't feel more and more that power was really a good thing.

At this moment, Zhao Yi also came to the Wanshou Palace, his whole face was black, and after saluting the Empress Dowager Lin, he didn't say a word.

"Emperor, the sound of the Tang cannon last night, but it was also made by Chaohua? How long are you going to pamper her? Empress Dowager Lin was angry and asked Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi shook his head, "The matter is still inconclusive, Du Biao of the Cao Gang said that it was a cannon sent by a male pet of Chaohua, but he didn't know whose name it was, and it was possible that Chaohua was framed." ”

Zhao Yi didn't want to say more, in fact, the court smashed the pot today, Zhang Wentian took out the private salt as evidence, this Tang cannon has no official number, it is privately made at first glance, Chaohua is the most suspicious person. It's just that there are some things that he needs to weigh well.

Unexpectedly, the matter of Tang Pao was not over, and there was such a case in Dali Temple.

Empress Dowager Lin glanced at him deeply, "Martial Master Jiangshan." Yi'er, how can there be two kings in this country! ”

Zhao Yi was stunned and said seriously: "My son knows." Tomorrow, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, the Yushitai, and the three divisions will try the Chaohua case. ”

Eighteen Niang hooked the corners of her mouth, and rejoiced in her heart, Mother, did you see it in the sky? There is only one step left, and Chaohua is about to fall.

can only be tried tomorrow by the three divisions, and they will only be more and more surprised the more they are judged, and the more they will be judged, the more sins will be on Chaohua's body.

After Zhao Yi and Empress Cui left, Empress Dowager Lin suddenly lost her spirit, waved her hand at Qin Zhao and Shen Shibanniang, and motioned for the two of them to go down.

When he went out, Qin Zhao did not go back to his room, but went to Shen Shibanniang's room.

"Eighteen Niang, clean it up, it is estimated that the Queen Mother is not in the mood to let us copy the scriptures in the palace, my grandfather asked someone to send a message, take me back in a while, and you can go with you."

Shen Shibai nodded, she didn't want to stay in this palace, it was really inconvenient to act, she hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "This time the case of King Chaohua, did the emperor send Prime Minister Qin to preside over the trial?" Qin Xianghe ......"

Qin Zhao looked at Eighteen Niang and sighed, "Eighteen Niang, I am your sister-in-law who has not passed through the door. ”

When Eighteen Niang heard this, she smiled, the room was full of spring breeze, and when Qin Zhao saw it, her whole face turned red.
