The emperor and Liang Yue were both stunned, no one expected that it would be such a reason. If you want to talk about the situation at that time, the eldest prince and the fifth prince were opposed, and Feng Linxiang chose Mingzhe to protect himself into the library, everyone can understand it. But what's going on? I just want to copy books?

Xuanyuan Zili's gaze quietly fell on Feng Lin Xiang's body and looked at him for a while. The latter looked calm, and it didn't look like a lie. Compared to the Wind City Lord and his daughter, although this Wind Lin Xiang is a family with them, it is inevitably too different.

"So, do you want me to release the city lord?" Xuanyuan Zili asked softly.

"Nope." Feng Linxiang shook his head and said: "Uncle is not a talent in governing the city, and my cousin is also arrogant and willful, if it weren't for the opportunity to sit on the position of the city lord, they would not have the ability to harm this carved heart city." He should be punished this time. ”

Emperor Mingxuan raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Then what are you?" ”

Feng Lin Xiang kowtowed to him and said in a low voice: "The minister's family is in the middle of the road, and it is only by relying on his uncle that he can have the ability to go to Beijing to catch the exam." Drinking water and thinking of the source, the minister must not forget the nurturing grace of his uncle. The prison was not very good, and the minister wanted to go in and see them and give them some food. But the minister will not ask His Majesty for forgiveness, because the uncle is really not fit to do things for the benefit of the people. ”

A hint of appreciation crossed Liang Yue's eyes. This man has affection and righteousness, but he also knows how to take care of the overall situation. is not soft-hearted, nor ungrateful, but a malleable talent.

The emperor looked at him for a while, got up and said to Liang Yue, "Let's all go to the prison to have a look." ”

"Okay." Liang Yue answered, and walked out with the emperor. After being locked up for more than a day, what kind of situation should that arrogant lady be?

Guarding the outside of the cell was the city guard, and the yamen had been temporarily taken over by the leading army for the past two days. Seeing Xuanyuan Zili and the others, the person guarding the cell door hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go in to see people?" ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Zili nodded: "Do you need to inform your leader again?" ”

"No, no, no." The guard shook his head again and again, turned around and opened the door, and said, "The leader said that you can enter and leave at any time, you can go in and take a look, now there is only the Feng Shouchao family in this dungeon." ”

"There is labor."

The three of them entered the prison, and as soon as they descended the stairs, they heard a sharp shout: "I want to get out!" Why are they holding us? Why? This is a rebellion! ”

Obviously, this is the voice of Miss Wind. Liang Yue sighed and shook her head. In such a situation, I don't know how to be a low-key person, and I really have no brains.

The emperor listened to the voice and snorted coldly. Feng Lin Xiang smiled awkwardly, walked to the innermost cell in a few steps, and shouted, "Uncle." ”

Feng Shouchao listened to the voice, stood up quickly, grabbed the wooden fence and looked out at Feng Linxiang, and said excitedly: "You are back!" Xiang'er, save us! These people are going to rebel! Aren't you serving in the capital? Go and tell the emperor! This defender of the city aided in the abuse, and even imprisoned the city lord! ”

Feng Lin Xiang looked at him with a complicated face, shook his head and said, "Uncle, they didn't have a reason to lock you in for nothing, you must have done something wrong." ”

"How can you say that." Feng Shouchao's eyes widened, and he looked at Feng Lin Xiang and said, "This Carved Heart City is in good order under my management, and I haven't bullied the people much." At most, Meng'er is ignorant and spoiled, but he won't be locked up like this! ”

Feng Lin Xiang turned his head to look at the two behind him suspiciously. Both the emperor and the cool moon walked over slowly. Liang Yue looked at the people in this cell, most of them were women, some looked like aunts, and some were maids, Feng Wanmeng, who was sitting in the middle, saw her coming, her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said, "You slut, what kind of method did you use to lock us in!" Beware of letting me out, you can't eat and walk around! ”

Liang Yue raised her eyebrows, looked at Feng Wanmeng with a smile and said, "This is a dungeon, so naturally it will be locked in if it is a mistake." Miss Feng still doesn't understand what she did wrong? ”

Feng Wanmeng looked at her and snorted coldly, "What's wrong with me? You slut framed others, and you can't die well! ”

Feng Lin Xiang's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly went over to cover Feng Wanmeng's mouth, looked at Liang Yue apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, my sister has always spoken..."

"Insulting a concubine is not something that can be ended with a word of apology." Xuanyuan Zili walked over with a calm face, looked at Feng Wanmeng, who shook off Feng Lin Xiang's hand, and said coldly: "This is indeed not a mistake, it is already a crime." ”

In a word, the entire cell fell silent. Feng Shouchao looked at Xuanyuan Zili in a daze, and opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. Concubines? Who? The woman in purple next to her?

Feng Wanmeng was stunned, and looked at Xuanyuan Zili as if she had heard it wrong, Feng Linxiang's face was ugly, he knelt down towards Xuanyuan Zili, and said in a low voice: "The master forgives her sins, she is just arrogant, and she doesn't know the identity of this mother, so she will speak ill of her..."

Xuanyuan Zili looked at the group of people in the cell with pale faces, and said lightly: "Feng Lin Xiang, I have a question for you. ”

"Minister... Be all ears. Hearing that Xuanyuan Zili called himself me again, Feng Lin Xiang's heart trembled, and he buried his head lower.

"The loyal ministers I want must not be dragged down, so as not to be involved in love in the future and do anything that disappoints the emperor's grace. I think you're a good man, and I want to promote you to be my confidant. Xuanyuan Zili said slowly, looking at the surprised look on Feng Linxiang's face, and slowly added:

"Therefore, if you can personally sentence the Feng Shouchao family and convince the people of the city, then your future will definitely be bright. Now it's up to you to be a loyal servant or a good nephew. ”

Let him sentence his own uncle to the criminal law? Feng Linxiang's face turned slightly pale, and he pursed his lips and said, "The problem given by Your Majesty is really to the point. ”

If Feng Lin Xiang is a good seedling, then the Wind City Lord's family is a tumor on the seedling, if it is not removed, this good seedling will not be usable. Liang Yue nodded slightly, agreeing with Xuanyuan Zili's approach. Now it's up to Feng Lin Xiang to choose.

Feng Shouchao in the prison looked at Xuanyuan Zili tremblingly, no matter how stupid he was, he should know who this Xuanyi man was when he looked at this situation. If you can make people who work in Beijing kneel down and shout their masters, and call themselves "I", who else can be... He's really... Got into big trouble!

Feng Wanmeng didn't come back to her senses for a long time, saying that this slut is a concubine, is she actually a concubine? So this good-looking man is the saint today? She had just insulted the concubine, and... Is there still a way to live?

The prison was as quiet as death, and everyone couldn't even breathe lightly. Both the Emperor and Liang Yue just stood quietly in place and waited for Feng Lin Xiang to answer.

"Minister... May I share the sorrows of the Lord. Feng Linxiang was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "If Your Majesty wants to see how the ministers are judged, you can use the Yamen Public Court to use it." ”

"Good." Xuanyuan Zili nodded, and walked outside. Liang Yue glanced at Feng Lin Xiang, only saw the righteousness on his face, but did not see any complaints and unwillingness, but he would not disappoint the emperor.

The leader of the city guard took the token of Xuanyuan Zili and lent the public hall to Feng Lin Xiang, the hall was solemn, the people watched, and the sound of the hall was shocked, and the person on the seat said in a loud voice: "Bring the guilty minister up!" ”

"With the guilty—"

The people were in an uproar and began to talk about it. The person on the seat is naturally known to most people, and he is the official of the national capital. Looking at this, is it to kill relatives in righteousness?

Feng Shouchao and Feng Wanmeng and several aunts and wives were all brought up, compared to the previous swagger, this embarrassed few people looked a lot less aggressive, just kneeling under the hall and looking at Feng Lin Xiang on the seat, there was hatred and resentment in their eyes.

The emperor and Liang Yue stood in the crowd, watching how Feng Lin Xiang judged.

"Do the people in the hall know what crime they have committed?" Feng Lin Xiang asked in a deep voice.

Feng Shouchao snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what crime I have committed, besides, I am the lord of a city, and you have not the right to judge me!" ”

Shocked, Feng Lin Xiang looked at Feng Shouchao with complicated eyes: "Honestly admit guilt, there is still room for forgiveness, if you blindly deny it, it will increase the punishment." This is the law of the Apocalypse, and you are not unaware. ”

Feng Shouchao looked at Feng Lin Xiang in the hall angrily, and said, "You ungrateful thing, for the sake of your own future, you pushed our family into the abyss, aren't you afraid of retribution?" ”

There was silence in the lobby, but the people below were talking. Liang Yue was in it, and she could only hear the praise and disapproval of the people next to her. Feng Lin Xiang is a good person, and the people know it. But this righteous act of destroying relatives is not recognized by everyone.

"There are no relatives in the hall." Feng Lin Xiang said lightly: "Well, count it separately, and the crime will be cleared first." Feng Shouchao has served as the city lord of Carving Heart City for more than ten years, and you have not made any contribution to Carving Heart City. Indulging her daughter to run rampant in the countryside and oppress the people is the second sin. Speaking evil words and contradicting superiors is the third sin. ”

"The punishment for the three crimes is combined, and the crime is not punishable by death, but the position of the lord of the city must be removed, the family property will be confiscated, and the prisoner will be released after one year. I hope that I can be a new person and benefit the township at that time. ”

Feng Linxiang finished the verdict in one breath, and the people below were stunned at first, and then they all applauded. In this way, they can change to a promising city lord, so they don't have to worry about messing with the eldest lady again one day, and they won't be at peace, right?

"You!" Feng Shouchao's face turned pale, and he straightened up and wanted to resist, but was suppressed by Yacha.

"Quit!" Feng Lin Xiang waved his sleeves and walked out of the court. The officials were ordered to take the crowd down. imprisoned Feng Shouchao and Feng Wanmeng, and the rest of the aunts and wives were given a certain amount of silver, and they moved out of the city lord's mansion.

Xuanyuan Zili was noncommittal about this trial, and Liang Yue smiled: "This person, Your Majesty can use it with confidence." Be smart and not ungrateful. This indirectly saved two lives. If you come to the judgment, you will directly commit a crime and should be beheaded. ”

The emperor nodded, indeed, Feng Linxiang seized a good opportunity, but let him let go of these two cheap lives.
