Bai Mujin took Rui Mama and Magpie, but did not go anywhere else, went to his own shop to inspect it, looked at the accounts, and at noon took time to go to his own restaurant to have lunch, met with the cook, put forward some of his opinions on the dishes, and went to buy some food in the afternoon, and came back.

The Lu family was very disdainful of Bai Hibiscus for such a relaxed and comfortable day, thinking that she really thought that she was at ease, with His Royal Highness King Xuan operating in the back, would she really think that she was nine out of ten?

Bai Shizu didn't wait for Yu Linwei to summon him, so he handed over the sign and entered the palace by himself, and when he came out, his eyes were still red, and he must have cried bitterly in front of the emperor, but his expression when he left the palace was a little more relaxed than before he entered, and it seemed that the result should make him more satisfied.

Bai Muhibiscus received the holy decree to personally try the case in the White Tiger Hall, she looked at the smug eyes of Lu and Bai Yunxi, and deliberately made a panicked look, but quickly covered it up. This made the Lu mother and daughter feel that Bai Mujin was caught off guard by their first move.

On the White Tiger Hall, the emperor was sitting in the center, and Feng Jiuqing was sitting aside, and his face couldn't see anything wrong. As soon as Bai Shizu came up, he knelt down with a thud and cried: "Your Majesty, you want to be the master of the ministers!" ”

The emperor had seen Bai Shizu's crying skills in the Xuanshu Palace, and said in his heart that his courtiers, all tears seemed to be freely contained, coming when he said he was coming, and going when he said he was going.

He raised his hand and said, "Bai Aiqing, let's get even, although I personally take care of this matter today, it can't be regarded as a public trial, I just want to help you solve the misunderstanding, don't hurt the harmony between the family, that is not good for anyone!" ”

Bai Shizu stood up tremblingly, snorted as if he was still unsatisfied, wiped his eyes twice with his sleeve, and finally stopped crying, and said to the emperor: "Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen is really ashamed of the emperor's kindness, the goddaughter has no way, and provoked so many rights and wrongs, the minister is guilty!" ”

The emperor looked at him, coughed, and then asked: "You want to sue the county lord of Anping, I already know what you mean, but I can't just listen to you, the county lord of Anping, what do you mean?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus owes the emperor a debt, and today she came to see the emperor, so the clothes she wore were the official clothes of the county lord, which looked dignified and precious, with a light and decent smile, and an unhurried appearance, which made the emperor have a good impression.

Although she is not a serious royal family, but in the end she is the granddaughter of her cousin, and this appearance is quite the temperament of the eldest princess of the imperial aunt Yongning, and she thinks it is in the same vein.

Bai Mu Hibiscus saluted before he spoke: "The minister doesn't know what crime his father wants to sue the minister, so he doesn't dare to defend himself!" ”

The emperor also nodded, he only informed Bai Mujian about this matter, and he didn't say what it was for, so let him repeat Bai Shizu's tirade at this time, and he didn't bother to bother with words, so he said: "Since the county lord doesn't know, then Ning Guogong will tell the specific matter again, so that everyone can listen to it!" ”

The White Tiger Hall is Yulinwei's public court, different from other places, this is the first time to deal with the case of the clan, in the past, regardless of whether the person who came here was guilty or not, he had to go through the hall first, this hall is not an ordinary set, and he had to take off a layer of skin after passing through the hall.

Therefore, several officials of Yu Linwei are a little at a loss, this time they don't have to be serious about the punishment for the first time, but they are not used to it.

But this can't be helped, who let it be their leader who provoked this, that is, His Royal Highness King Xuan today? Yu Linwei is his home field, and he always has a few more advantages than others.

It's not that His Royal Highness King Xuan doesn't have an advantage in other places, but Yulinwei'er is different from other yamen, he can get any evidence he wants, and whoever he wants to admit guilt has to admit his guilt, just look at the above sentence. This can be said to be a sharp sword in the emperor's hand, where the emperor points, the sword will pierce.

Yu Linwei is also the emperor's eyes and ears, as long as the emperor wants to know, it is what Yu Linwei cares about, such an important place was handed over to King Xuan, which shows how much he is trusted by the emperor. Even a few princes who have reached adulthood are not qualified to touch Yulinwei in the slightest, because the emperor does not allow it.

Bai Shizu naturally knew what Yulinwei was, looking at the creepy public hall of the White Tiger Hall, he felt a drum in his heart, he glanced at Bai Hibiscus, and then arched his hand and said: "The minister wants to sue the county lord for the seven deadly sins......

Bai Shizu said again the content written on the paper that day, but the words were more euphemistic than the content on the fold, but the meaning expressed was no different.

Listening to Bai Shizu's words, Yu Linwei's officials all looked at each other, this other is easy to say, the last one is a big crime, if it weren't for Yu Linwei not paying attention to the situation of the Guogong Mansion at all, this matter should not escape their ears and eyes.

But several of them wisely bowed their heads, not intending to meddle in this matter. How to deal with the meaning of the emperor, it is a big crime to make a big fuss, if you want to calm things down, it is just a few words of reprimand, after all, Miss Bai is now the county lord, and her identity is not as good as before.

After hearing this, the emperor didn't have too many different colors, and only asked according to the usual practice: "Now that the county lord knows, do you have anything to say about the sins listed by Ling Zun?" ”

Bai Mujin showed a smile, but no one felt that she was laughing, but she felt sour when she saw it, how could anyone smile so desolately?

Bai Mujin knelt down in front of the emperor, closed his eyes slightly, and then said: "The emperor is above, and the minister has nothing to say." It is said that the son does not say anything about the father, since the father is determined to investigate the sins of the minister, what can the minister say? What's the use of saying more? The greatest suffering in the world is not death, but ......"

Speaking of this, Bai Muhibiscus paused, as if she was too sad and unable to speak, and watched her throat move several times before she finally seemed to find her voice, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The minister doesn't want to defend, and he can't defend, if he dies, he can complete the righteousness of family affection and repay the kindness of nurturing, please die!" ”

Bai Shizu took two steps back, pointed at Bai Hibiscus, his face turned red, he didn't expect Bai Hibiscus to say such a thing, he hurriedly said, "You...... Don't you want to deceive the Holy Hearing and try to cover up your sins by retreating? ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus glanced at him with blurred tears, his lips trembled, and finally he didn't say anything, lowered his head, and knelt on the ground quietly like the air of this White Tiger Hall. Bai Shizu, who was watching, almost jumped up, pointed at her again and again, and couldn't wait to go up and hit Bai Hibiscus a few times.

But I heard the emperor frown and said: "Bai Aiqing, in front of me, Hugh is rude!" ”

Bai Shizu hurriedly calmed down, and said in his heart Fortunately, the emperor spoke out in time to stop it, otherwise he would really fall for Bai Mujian's plan, he should be calmer and self-reliant than ever, and now this daughter's scheming is really unfathomable.

He hurriedly confessed: "The minister is out of shape, please punish the emperor!" ”

The emperor didn't plan to get entangled because of a little mistake, so he just waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can pay attention to it." Now that the county lord of Anping refuses to defend herself, and you keep accusing her of her crimes, then you can only ask Ning Guogong to submit the evidence first, and you can't just cure the crime of the county lord without evidence, right? ”

Bai Shizu said in his heart that Bai Mu Hibiscus was really powerful, and he was forced to strike first in a few words, their original plan was to force Bai Mu Hibiscus to submit evidence after confessing, so that she could see the move, but now they can only use another set of plans.

Bai Shizu took out a stack of paper from his cuffs, presented it to the person in front of the emperor, and said: "This is the confession written by the original steward in the deceased wife's dowry shop, they all claimed to have been coerced and lured by the county lord, forcing them to admit that they were greedy for ink and silver during the period of taking care of the shop, and they were also forced to identify Neiko as the instigator behind the scenes, greedy for a large amount of silver, and deliberately dragged down the estate of the deceased wife!" ”

The emperor brought the testimony in front of him, skimmed through it roughly, and handed it to Feng Jiuqing, saying, "Well, it has been signed and drawn, and I think it is true!" ”

Bai Shizu was happy in his heart, as long as the emperor believed this confession, then he could be convicted of Bai Hibiscus first, disrespecting his parents, acting recklessly, and being unfilial.

Feng Jiuqing also read the confession casually like rummaging through some miscellaneous items, and then sneered and said, "Which of these stewards were married with the first wife, and which ones were appointed by the second lady later?" ”

Bai Shizu was stunned, he didn't expect Feng Jiuqing to ask such a question first, he thought about it for a while, and then said: "There are a total of twelve confessions, of which ...... Six of them were dowry stewards of the deceased wife, and six of them were appointed by Uchiko later, but the minister can guarantee that these people are loyal and upright people, and they will never give false testimony! ”

Feng Jiuqing nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Bai Shizu's statement, but asked with a smile: "Since you are a loyal and upright person, why was you coerced and lured by the county lord before?" ”

Bai Shizu was stunned for a moment, feeling that His Royal Highness King Xuan was too shrewd, and the words he asked were simply traps every step of the way, so he picked up his heart and said, "This...... Because the county lord used extraordinary means, they had to comply! ”

This time, it was the emperor who spoke first and asked, "What does Aiqing mean by extraordinary means?" Could it be that the county lord is a weak woman, can he still torture to extract a confession? ”

"This ...... It's not, she is threatening the lives of these stewards, and she has explained it in her confession! Bai Shizu's voice was a little weak, it seemed that he himself knew that this kind of talk was untenable.

Bai Mujin glanced up at him, his eyes were full of pain, and he lowered his head in an instant, but this glance made everyone look at Bai Shizu with suspicion, and he looked at him like he was on pins and needles, and he wanted to cover his face with something.

He was also forced to be helpless, if he didn't sit on Bai Mujian's sin, then he would be the one who would be punished, he was not willing to ruin his brilliant future and life for such an unfilial girl, he was only in his thirties, just in the prime of life, and there was still a lot to do!

In order to prevent Feng Jiuqing from continuing to speak, Bai Shizu said: "The minister still has evidence to submit!" ”
