"Hehe...... Zhuo Jiu scratched his head embarrassedly and said ashamedly, "It's the slave who lost his word." ”

King Chen said: "You can't kill them all with a single rod." This king can't go, but that doesn't mean you can't go. Go and keep an eye on it, and make things more carefully for the king. As soon as the matter was over, he immediately came back to report to the king. ”

"Yes." Zhuo Jiu answered and hurriedly retreated.

Standing in front of His Highness again, I was really panicked. How can such a stupid question be asked? Fortunately, His Highness was just joking, and he didn't take it seriously. Otherwise, in the future in King Chen's Mansion, it is estimated that he will only be a fool who can't do things.

Seeing Zhuo Jiu retreating in a hurry, Rong Yunxi said, "It seems that the prince has made a move." It's just that this happened so suddenly, and we don't know his intentions yet. ”

King Chen said: "It will definitely not be just for people to sue Xiao Ling and it will be over." Listening to what Zhuo Jiu said, it can be seen that Xiao Ling can't be blamed for this matter, isn't there still that trafficker? Speaking of which, Xiao Ling was bought from a trafficker, and he was not directly snatched from the Yan family, so he was not bad in terms of rules. It's just that after knowing the identity of the concubine, he didn't let him go. This is a matter of morality, and has nothing to do with the royal law. ”

"At that time, Xiao Ling gave people to Yan Dashao, which was benevolence and righteousness; If you don't give it, you're just acting a little badly. If he is condemned because of this, he is indeed wronged. But Xiao Ling has always been sensible, since Yan Dashao has brought the matter to the court, even if it is not entirely his fault, even if he doesn't have to return the people, in order to block the criticism of the people, he will definitely take the initiative to return the people to Yan Dashao, in order to calm the matter. ”

King Chen smiled: "It's just a woman, Xiao Ling won't care too much." This matter just hurt Yue Huai, whether it is a conviction or not, and it is not a conviction. ”

Rong Yunxi nodded and said: "If this matter is put on two ordinary people, it can be judged no matter what, even if the side that forcibly kept the concubine is not guilty, it is nothing, many people will think it is very light and reasonable." But if it is put in the Shen family, it can't be judged like this, otherwise it will be said to be a favoritism. ”

"It could have been innocent, but when it comes to the sensitive identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives, those who are not guilty must also be judged guilty, so that the people will feel fair. Lord Yue is really difficult to do! ”

But the prince's purpose is definitely not as simple as finding trouble for Yue Huai and the Shen family. If this matter is investigated carefully, even if it is caused to the emperor and the queen mother, Shen Ling is not all at fault, and it is not enough to make the emperor disgusted with the Shen family.

If it was just the consequence of such a petty fight, why did the prince plan this? Isn't there nothing to do when you're full?

Therefore, this court complaint is just a superficial matter, and the prince must have some useful arrangements waiting for him.

But what is this arrangement......

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Rong Yunxi felt that if she and the prince changed places and did this, they must want to make small things big and big things to the biggest.

Now Shen Ling's matter, to put it mildly, is actually just a misunderstanding; Even if it is big, it is just an unreasonable bully, no matter how big it is, it is a big deal. Such a trivial matter is just a matter of a few words in Jingzhao Mansion, and it can't reach the emperor's ears at all. So, how can this matter reach the ears of the emperor? Unless it's a big deal.

What makes a big deal? How can I make a big deal out of it? Brain court? Insulting the emperor in public? This situation is impossible, and it is not something that the prince can control. What else could have made this little thing big enough to reach the ears of God......

Unless it's ...... Someone's killed!

And this life must be related to Shen Ling. Isn't it a big deal if the emperor's relatives killed someone? It will be submitted to the Criminal Department by Jingzhao Mansion. The cases of the Criminal Department are all to be reported to the emperor for the purpose, and the emperor can naturally know that there is a fatality. In order to calm down the people's grievances, they will definitely inquire in person. In this way, this matter will not reach the emperor's ears as the prince wishes.

Whose life is it...... The life of the concubine? The life of the Yan family? Still is...... Directly is Yan Yu's life?

Anyway, with the prince's temperament, one must die.

Rong Yunxi hurriedly told King Chen about this discovery......

At this time, in Jingzhao Mansion, Yue Huai had already sent Shen Ling and asked Shen Ling to tell him about the events of that day

Sure enough, Shen Ling directly bit that he had already paid the money to the traffickers, and when Yan Yu arrived, Xiangxue was already his.

But Yan Yu took out the concubine purchase document to prove that Xiangxue was his from beginning to end.

The two argued in the court, obviously saying that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, which made it difficult for Yue Huai to make a conclusion.

Shen Ling bought people from traffickers, but this person was originally a master and could not be resold at will. Therefore, the sin lies in the traffickers, and it stands to reason that although Shen Ling is not guilty, he should also return the person to the owner in time. As for the loss of the buyer, he can only bear it himself, who makes him unclear?

If it is placed among two ordinary people, as long as the other person can show evidence of possession of this woman, this unlucky man who bought people can only give back his hands.

At this time, Yan Yu happened to be able to show the document of buying a concubine. So as long as he doesn't write a concubine book for a day, this woman is his. According to common sense, Shen Ling should return it. Yan Yu wanted to give him some compensation, out of benevolence; If you don't compensate him, you should too.

It is said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, if he is not sentenced like this today, some people will definitely say that he does not deal with it impartially and curries up with the powerful. If this matter is spread more and more, even if it reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor may not be on his side, but will blame him!

In the eyes of the emperor, what is a little Shen Ling? Maybe the emperor has long forgotten who he is. But the reputation of the officials of the Wind Country, the reputation of the royal family, the emperor will not forget. If the people criticize him because of his mishandling, the emperor will definitely blame him for his poor behavior. Maybe, it's possible to masturbate his official directly!

Thinking like this, Yue Huai felt that Shen Ling was a very sensible person, so it was better to deal with it impartially first and give an explanation to the onlookers and Yan Yu. After that, if Shen Ling really likes this woman, it's a big deal for him to come forward and find a way to get people back quietly.

Although Yue Huai felt that it was a little strange that Yan Yu had come to report to the official after so long, in this case, there was no way to take care of it too much. No matter what kind of strange thing there is, at this time in the court, he can only close the case in front of him. That's what he's supposed to do. has done his duty first, and even if there is any trouble later, when he defends, his waist can be straightened up.

Therefore, he was determined to fight for himself to make a good official reputation, and said: "Yan Yu, Shen Ling, you two should not quarrel anymore and disturb the court, but you are disrespectful to my Fengguo." ”

Yue Huai has moved out of the Wind Country, how dare these two say it?

They all immediately shut up and waited for Yue Huai's orders.

Yue Huai ordered the chief bookkeeper to take the documents in Yan Yu's hand and give him a look at them to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Yue Huai looked at this document and found that the document for buying concubines was indeed genuine, and there was also the seal of the Sucheng official media office on it. Then he handed the paper to the master bookkeeper and asked him to distinguish it too. After carefully distinguishing it, the master book nodded and gave Yue Huai an affirmative answer.

Seeing Yue Huai and the main book's reaction, Yan Yu was overjoyed. He knew that as long as there was this document, he didn't have to frame Shen Ling at all, and he could get the little concubine back. didn't frame Shen Ling, just told the truth, if there was any contact in the future, Shen Ling couldn't criticize him for anything. And it also seems that he is real, the people are all in their eyes, and Yue Huai treats him even harder.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that I was smart, and thought to myself, he is really brave and resourceful! In this way, Yue Huai was put on a high platform by him, and he couldn't get down if he wanted to.

After confirming that this document was true, Yue Huai said: "Shen Ling, since this woman is indeed a concubine of Yan Yu, you bought it by mistake, and those who don't know it are not guilty, this is certain." But since he knew about it afterwards, he should have returned the woman to others. As for the fault of this person who bought the bottom and is not clean, this official will not hold you accountable. You quickly return the person to Yan Yu, and that's it. ”

"Yan Yu, when Shen Ling bought someone from that trafficker, he didn't know that this person was your concubine, so when he bought someone, he was not at fault. Do you have any objections to this mediation between the two of you? ”

The word "mediation" was deliberately aggravated to show that this matter was not a case at all, and that Wang Fa was not used at all, but was just adjusted as an outsider.

"Back to my lord, the grass people have no objection...... Yan Yu accepted it when he saw it, said, kowtowed to Yue Huai, and said, "The grass people thank you for your impartial trial and giving the grass people a fair ...... In fact, the grass people don't want to embarrass anyone, they just want to get back the concubines who should have been in the grass people's house......"

"Shen Gongzi, if there is anything offended, I beg Shen Gongzi to forgive me." Yan Yu straightened his waist and hugged Shen Ling, very polite.

It was not easy for Shen Ling to refute him in public, so he had to laugh and say, "Brother Yan is serious." Before, Brother Yan said that Xiangxue was your concubine, I thought it was Brother Yan, you saw Xiangxue's beauty and wanted to buy it, so you deliberately deceived me. Now that I have seen Brother Yan's concubine purchase documents, I naturally know that what Brother Yan said is true, how can I continue to occupy it? There were many offends before, and I hope that Brother Yan Haihan will be! ”

Shen Ling is a scholar clan, so he doesn't have to kneel to Yue Huai. However, standing and talking to Yan Yu at this time, he still did not have a sense of condescension, and was very kind and polite.

"Huh...... Shen Gongzi is really polite. Yan Yu said with a smile.
