Chapter 81: Confrontation

It's noon today. The street that was supposed to be bustling was a little deserted. And those restaurants are even more sparse. There weren't many of them.

But compared to here. There were a lot of people gathered inside and outside the palace. The crowd surged. It's very lively. It's not that I don't care much about this case. The people are concerned. At most, it's life. At best, these cases are just after-dinner chatter. It's not that all business is done, and I came here to see the excitement.

It's because all the people in the government today are not small. One of them is something that many people can't see in their entire lives.

Yesterday, Fu Yin folded a letter to the letter. No one in the Taiqing Courtyard dared to take it. In the end, it could only be handed over to the emperor in its original form. One is the palace. One is the Prime Minister's House. There is also the other party who does not know. No one dares to offend easily.

The Emperor was already interested in this matter. It's just that the civil affairs have not yet caused him to come forward. I just had to wait for news. And Fu Yin's twist. Just found him a chance. Since it involves important ministers of the imperial court. Royal Personnel. That's not a simple civil dispute.

Write quickly. Three trial officers were named. Plus he himself was an observer. The excuse shocked King Ye. However, it is more appropriate to say that it is lively.

The three triage officials were not random. One is Prime Minister Murong Xing. One is Duguxian, the general who protects the country. One is Hou Qianxing, who is in charge of the criminal department of Dali Temple.

This man is iron-faced and selfless. The means are decisive and ruthless. His reputation is also very prestigious among the people. Hear about the prisoners in his hands. No guilty man has ever been spared. and there is no one who has wronged the innocent. Solving cases is magical. How difficult the case is in hand. As long as there is enough time. It's always up to you.

And the most important thing. It's this man who is withdrawn. He did not join any political party in the DPRK and China. Just go it alone. Do your own thing. Sometimes even the emperor can't do anything about him. There were also many criminal royal relatives who died in his hands.

and because of the fear of him. Although the children of the royal family and nobles in Lucheng are also arrogant and domineering on weekdays. But they all have one thing in common. It's just enough to stop. At most, it disturbs the people. Never dare to do something that causes death.

He is in charge. Regardless of the outcome of the case. No one would ever doubt it.

Murong Qiufeng and Shangguan Ye had been waiting here for a long time. Because today the situation is different. There were some chairs on both sides of the courtroom. Shangguan Ye took the side very unceremoniously. With a cold face.

And above. What he did in the middle was Hou Qianxing. On the left is Murong Xing with a gloomy face. Thinking about the events of the day before yesterday, he was on fire for a long time.

And sitting on the right is Dugu General, Dugu Xian. It's just different from Murong Xing. He seemed to be in a good mood. The eyes are full of schadenfreude and contempt. Looking at Murong Xing's eyes, it was as if to say, 'Look.' What sons do you teach. Really. Lao Tzu is not a thing. Sons aren't things either'

Murong Xing was so angry that his teeth itched. If it weren't for the fact that the situation is not right now. He had already pinched Duguxian.

While looking at Murong Qiufeng again. But there was no reproach in his eyes. I feel a little guilty. Because he guessed. If someone comes to target the prime minister's mansion or the royal mansion. Then Murong Qiufeng was only implicated.

He didn't care much about this son since he was a child. He has not fulfilled his fatherly responsibilities at all. Let him come back this time. and pushed him to King Ye's side again. I didn't even spend much time at home. He is still involved in this dispute. It's hard for this kid. Fortunately, there is still King Ye to protect him. That's very gratifying.

And behind them. Each stood with its own junior.

There was silence in the palace. Only Murong Qiufeng stood in the middle. The messenger has been gone for a long time.

Shangguan Ye's face became colder and colder. looked at Murong Qiufeng standing alone in the middle of the lobby. His eyes became more and more cold. I saw that those officials were all terrified. I'm afraid that the prince will get angry. Let's make a big fuss. Then they will die for the rest of their lives.

And Murong Qiufeng looked calm. Wait quietly.

Hou Qianxing looked at Murong Qiufeng's every move with an expressionless expression. I also secretly admired it in my heart. This Murong Qiufeng has an elegant and quiet temperament. Graceful atmosphere.

He had seen Murong Qiufeng once. That is, at King Ye's dust-washing banquet. But it was only a glimpse at that time. And they left early. It seems to be a gentle but non-talkative person.

After receiving the decree, he learned about this case thoroughly overnight. Some of those things. It's okay to fool ordinary people. But they can't fool him. Again. Although he can't say that he is 100% accurate. But someone as clear as Murong Qiufeng. But it's rare to see. I was surprised that such a person turned out to be the son of Murong Xing, an old fox.

And in the rear. places separated by curtains. The emperor sat in it. A pair of eyes have been wandering around Murong Qiufeng all the time. Look at the beautiful little guy. No matter how you look at it, it's pleasing to the eye. It's itchy in my heart. It would be nice to keep him around.

A bulletin interrupted everyone's thoughts. The people who watched the excitement outside the door all branched out their ways.

And the woman who was slowly walked over by two maids in the middle. It is Song Lige.

See Song Lige. All were a little surprised. It's just because Song Lige walked in with his eyes closed. His eyes were terribly red and swollen. His face was pale and haggard. A weak look. It aroused the pity of everyone.

"Song Lige, a folk girl. See Adults. Song Lige was slowly helped to stand in the middle. Then he saluted delicately.

"Song Lige." Hou Qianxing looked at her a few times. "How's your eye?"

"Back to my lord. Our young lady was blind from crying. I hope that the adults can quickly return the lady's justice. So that we can seek medical treatment with peace of mind. A maid next to her said.

Hou Qianxing frowned. Deep voice. "Someone who has nothing to do with it stands aside for now."

The two maids frowned and were about to say something. Song Lige patted their hands. They could only helplessly push to the side and wait. Eyes full of worry. And looking at Murong Qiufeng's eyes, his eyes were full of resentment. This unconsciously leads to the sympathy of the people. also has more hatred for Murong Qiufeng.

"Song Lige. You are above the adverbials. Sue Murong Qiufeng for persecuting the people around you three or four times. I want to force you. Or even defraud finances. Usurping other people's treasures. Harm people's lives. There is evidence. ”

"Your Excellency. Former. Lige said that there was no evidence. But recently. I'm sure you've seen it too. There are both human and material evidence. Murong Qiufeng forcibly abducted Lige in front of him and wanted to do something wrong. This day was in the Mingyue Tower. can all testify. And Murong Qiufeng harmed people with the piano. The piano with broken strings. It is the evidence of the crime. ”

"That being the case. Why didn't you report the crime in the first place? Elsewhere. I didn't take your case. ”

"Your Excellency. Murong Qiufeng is the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The so-called protection of officials and officials. If it weren't for Lord Hou's personal trial today. Lige will definitely not believe it. ”

Several people raised their eyebrows slightly. This Song Lige is as careful as dust. Glib tongue. Everything is said to be true. No one can find a flaw.

It's Shangguan Ye. Put your arms in your hands. The face is expressionless. I don't know what the emotion is.

Hou Qianxing turned to look at Murong Qiufeng. Said lightly. "Murong Qiufeng. You sued Song Lige for designing to frame you. There is evidence. ”
