Xiao Jingran frowned with a calm face and said, "What does this matter have to do with Huanxi, princess, are you framing innocent people?" ”

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes slightly, then raised her eyes and laughed violently: "Lord Xiao, I originally thought that even if the grace of saving my life would not be repaid, at least it should not be revenged, right?" ”

Xiao Jingran looked stunned: "Princess, you helped Huanxi diagnose and treat her, and you did have a life-saving grace for her, if the person you hurt is my Xiao family, the old man will definitely not embarrass the princess, this can be regarded as repaying the princess's life-saving grace, but Wang Wei is the only son of the Wang family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and it is really not the old man who can do it." ”

"Lord Xiao is so generous."

"Yes, he deserves to be the minister of the humerus."

The surrounding officials praised and admired in a low voice, but Shen Ninghua said sarcastically:

"Lord Xiao, you are wrong, the life-saving grace I said is not the last time I cured the disease, but the kidnapping of Xiao Huanxi this time."

"What?"

Shen Ninghua's eyes were cold and cold, and her voice was like a pearl of jade: "Lord Xiao, the matter is related to Xiao Huanxi's reputation, you should hide something, but if you want to hide it, you shouldn't think about killing me, after all, if it weren't for me, Wang Wei would have defiled Xiao Huanxi, this son, you and Lord Wang are in-laws." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites raised his head suddenly, and glared at Shen Ninghua with angry eyes: "Princess Zhaohua, what do you mean by this?" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled lightly, took out the complaint signed by Wang Wei from his sleeve, shook it open and handed it to Xiao Jingran: "Lord Xiao, do you want to take a look?" ”

Xiao Jingran glanced at Shen Ninghua contemptuously and took the confession. When I saw what was written on it, my face changed suddenly.

It clearly records the process of Xiao Huanxi instructing Wang Wei to frame Shen Ninghua, if this confession reaches the emperor, it will be a capital crime of murdering the royal princess, and it will be light to raid the family and exterminate the clan at that time.

Xiao Jingran's fingers couldn't help trembling slightly, and then he suddenly tore the confession in his hand to shreds, turned his head to look at Shen Ninghua, and the bloody aura around her pressed against her:

"Her Royal Highness the princess is really careful, she even has a confession?"

Shen Ninghua sneered, she had faced thousands of troops, not to mention Xiao Jingran: "There is no way, who let me be framed many times since I was named the county lord by my father, I have developed a habit of doing things now, and I must leave some evidence, before, now, and in the future, I will carefully collect all the evidence, maybe I will be able to take it out and use it one day." ”

Xiao Jingran gritted his teeth fiercely: "The princess has a heart." ”

"I'll keep it more carefully in the future, maybe some of Master Xiao will be able to use it." If you dare to harm me, if I catch the handle, I will definitely step you off the clouds!

Xiao Jingran grabbed the shredded paper in his hand fiercely, and turned his head stiffly to glare at Wang Wei: "This evil obstacle dares to be unfavorable to Huanxi, what a bastard!" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was stunned for a moment, and then a chill appeared in his heart: "Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean? Originally, when I saw Wang Wei's appearance, I thought he had been abused, but now that I look at it, he deserves it! ”

"Lord Xiao, how can you talk like this, my son is a victim in the first place!"

"What a victim, it's clearly a cowardly beast! Huanxi is his cousin, he actually started Huanxi's thoughts, if it weren't for the princess's benevolence to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that now Huanxi wouldn't even have his life. ”

Xiao Jingran said, kneeling on the ground with a flick of his robe: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old minister just tore up the confession on impulse, and begged the emperor to make the decision for the daughter of Weichen!" That Wang Wei was so bold that he took advantage of the end of the banquet to deceive Huanxi and kidnap her with bad intentions, fortunately the princess met and saved the little girl, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable...... Please let the emperor decide. ”

The bitter lord suddenly became a murderer, and many officials in the court couldn't react at once, didn't they just say that Princess Zhaohua murdered Wang Wei, and it only took a quarter of an hour for the princess to act chivalrous?

Baili Qingcang put one hand on the imperial case, supported his knees with the other, and his expression was extremely cold: "In this way, that Wang Wei completely deserves it?" ”

Xiao Jingran's heart trembled, but he could only bow his head and admit that he couldn't expose the truth of the matter, otherwise he would ruin Xiao Huanxi:

"Back to the emperor, Wang Wei really deserves it."

Baili Qingcang sneered: "Heh, it's really a good show, huh?" Which people were the most cheerful just now, and what do you have to say now? ”

A few officials who had helped the waiter of the Ministry of Rites just now suddenly turned into quails, things had changed too quickly, and they were talking too deadly, and now there was no way out.

Suddenly, someone reacted suddenly: "Your Majesty, Weichen and others completely listened to Lord Wang's words, and they didn't find out the truth, please forgive the emperor!" ”

When the others heard this, they immediately echoed it, saying that they had been deceived, and at the same time, they scolded Wang Wei, a well-dressed beast, for being bloody.

A faint smile flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes, and his eyes swept over Xiao Jingran's face, and he found that his expression was so dark that he was about to catch up with the bottom of the pot.

Baili Qingcang's eyes narrowed slightly, and a displeasure flashed in his heart: Xiao Jingran said that Wang Wei was the murderer, and these people changed their camp in an instant, saying that they were deceived by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, when did Xiao Jingran become so influential in the court?

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites sat on the ground with his chest covered, his face pale: "Ladies and gentlemen, when did you open your mouth to deceive you, my son was indeed wronged, how could you fall into the well like this?" ”

"Lord Wang, on weekdays, your son does a lot of things to bully men and women, but we have heard of it. ：”

"Yes, I also heard that some time ago he fought with a drinker in the Qinglou for an Oiran, and later it took a lot of money to settle this matter."

"Lord Wang, it's understandable that you feel sorry for your son, but you can't frame Princess Zhaohua, the princess cares about the people, and there are many things that benefit the country and the people, the plague last time, the chickenpox this time, plus donating silver taels, helping the people to get free clinics, the princess is so well aware of righteousness, how could she murder your son for no reason?"

"It's ......"

The hall was noisy again, but this time Shen Ninghua was already the object of praise in everyone's mouth. Listening to the praise in everyone's mouths, Shen Ninghua sighed secretly in his heart: If he is worthy of being a speech official, this mouth can reverse right and wrong.

After everyone finished arguing, Baili Qingcang lowered his eyes and swept over the Manchu Dynasty civil and military: "Waiter of the Ministry of Rites, what else do you have to say?" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites slowly knelt up straight, the hand covering his chest became more and more forceful, and he opened his mouth before he could say a word, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!

The sudden change caused the hall to fall silent.

Chen Yun stepped forward to look at him, and shook his head slightly in his heart: "Back to the emperor, Lord Wang's rush to attack the blood has caused the bloodline to not return, and I am afraid that I will spend it in bed all the time." ”

The muscles on Baili Qing's cheeks moved, and his eyes were angry: "Someone just said that Wang Wei bullied men and women? ”

Chu Junyi, who was dressed in an official robe, walked out, this was the first time Shen Ninghua had seen him wearing an official uniform, a crimson embroidered with a green pine crane complement, and a silverfish bag symbolizing his status hung around his waist, which made him have an extra dignified and resolute temperament, and he could really be called picturesque and handsome.

"Back to the emperor, Xiao Huanxi is Weichen's sister, I heard that something happened to her, so Weichen investigated overnight, but I didn't expect to find out something."

Handing a roll of paper in his hand to the hand of the waiter, Chu Junyi said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, there are twenty-one of these petitions, all of which are petitions from parents seeking justice for their daughters, and the targets of the complaints...... It is the only son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites - Wang Wei! ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites lay on the ground, his eyes widened, and his hands and feet twitched.

Chu Junyi's eyes did not have the slightest heat: this waiter of the Ministry of Rites keeps saying benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he has more than a dozen concubines in his house, and the girls in the room are even more unknown. The only son, Wang Wei, doesn't know how many girls he has harmed in private, but he has a good father behind him, and he has settled for him.

Baili Qingcang turned over the paper faster and faster, and finally threw the paper in his hand on the main hall: "Bastard! What a bastard! ”

Many of those pleadings were written in blood, because they were civil prosecutors, and everyone added a line of large characters at the end of the pleadings, willing to roll a nail board and pass a soldering iron in exchange for the qualification to sue. Each piece of paper carries the life of a young girl, and the crimes written on it are even more furious after reading it.

"The emperor is angry!"

"How can I calm my anger? It's really unbelievable that the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites turned out to be a beast in human skin, which is really outrageous! ”

Baili Qingcang's face was gloomy, and the aura around him was violent, which frightened the officials into losing their souls.

The Son of Heaven is angry, and the corpses are floating for thousands of miles!

Chu Junyi stood up straight without being affected in the slightest, waited for Baili Qingcang to finish his anger, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, these people who have submitted the pleadings are already waiting outside the palace gate, if the emperor doesn't believe it, you can summon them to come and interrogate." ”

Baili Qingcang sat on the dragon chair, and the green tendons on the back of his strong hand were exposed: "Xuan!" ”

More than two dozen people poured into the main hall, they curled up, and everyone wanted to lie on the ground.

They live at the bottom, it can be said that they have no dignity and no status, but for the sake of their daughters, they can roll the nail board and pass the soldering iron without hesitation, just to see if there is justice in this world!

Baili Qingcang was furious, but he didn't know how to send it out, and after a while, he took out a piece of paper written entirely in blood from the imperial case: "Who is this paper?" ”

An old man crawled forward on his knees and took two steps:

"Your Majesty, that piece of paper belongs to the grass people, the grass people can't write, so they can only release the blood and find a scholar who can write to help write it, the grass people are useless, the family has no savings, and I have collected all the belongings of fifty yuan, so the scholar promised to help write this letter!"

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved slightly, her throat seemed to be blocked, and a piece of paper to help the murdered daughter seek justice, but someone had to empty her family to help write it......

The old man lay on the ground, his body pressed against the ground, and made the most humble gesture:

"Your Majesty, the old man's daughter was robbed by the son-in-law of the Wang family, and she never came back. She will get married soon, and it's all because the old man is useless, if it weren't for the fact that I was too sick to get out of bed, I wouldn't let my daughter go out to buy vegetables and be taken by that brute! ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people want to tell the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and his son, the grass people are willing to roll the nail board, even if they pass the knife three times and get into the oil pot, they have no complaints, they just ask my daughter to get justice, her mother is talking until she dies, wait for her to come back......"
