In front of the noon gate, there was silence.

Gan Mingjue took a step forward and asked lightly, "What do the four girls think it should be?" The prince is corrupt and has 500,000 stone of military rations, and the beam is in danger, so we will not shed blood at this moment, and when the soldiers come to the city, they are still fighting with their lives! ”

"Then wait for the soldiers to come to the city and then fight with their lives!" Lin Jiaruo roared angrily.

She pointed at Gan Mingjue: "My eldest brother Lin Zhizhi is your own cousin-"

Pointing to Yao Shujing: "It's your classmate in Xiaoshan Academy-"

Pointing to Song Bin: "It's your classmate in Songyang Academy-"

"You all know him, the Rong soldiers are about to fall in Maguan, he resolutely abandoned the civil and military forces, fought in Daizhou, and still does not know whether he is alive or dead——"

"He is on the front line to protect your lives, and you are so stupid to beg for death!"

Thinking of Lin Zhizhi, whose whereabouts are unknown, although Lin Jiaruo gritted his teeth, he couldn't hold back his tears.

The three people she pointed out also showed a moving look.

After a moment of silence, Gan Mingjue said in a deep voice: "We are not afraid of bloodshed, nor are we afraid of prison, although the heart of loyalty cannot be broken, although the cage cannot be trapped!" After speaking, he bowed deeply to Lin Shisheng.

Lin Shisheng raised his hand and waved, and the guards trotted forward and surrounded the scholars, but they did not move.

A lieutenant walked up to Gan Mingjue and made a respectful gesture, Gan Mingjue led the way, and the rest of the scholars also strode to follow.

Jin Wuwei accompanied him left and right, like an escort's guard of honor.

Song Bin was also about to turn around and follow, but was stopped by Lin Jiaruo.

"Brother Song!" She said softly, "My father is the general of Zuo Jinwu Zhonglang of Zhengsipin, and he could not have appeared in today's affairs......"

Song Bin's heart moved, and he looked back at Lin Shisheng.

The man who did not move in the face of questioning looked down at his daughter gently at this moment, and there seemed to be water in his eyes.

Before the noon gate, the people gradually dispersed.

Lin Shisheng touched his daughter's head and said softly, "Why did you come here with a bow and arrows?" Don't do such a dangerous thing in the future! ”

I wanted to reprimand with a straight face, but my heart was so soft that my words could only be soft.

"When I practiced archery in the morning, my mother sent someone to call me, and I always carried the bow and arrow with me." Lin Jiaruo explained briefly.

Lin Shisheng was stunned for a moment, looked up, and saw Xu Yaoning walking towards him.

"You're here too......" he was a little moved.

Xu Yaoning said "um" and said: "I heard about the movement here in the morning, I was afraid that Ah would come over to join in the fun, so I sent someone to pick her up early in the morning, but I didn't expect that she would run out!" ”

Lin Shisheng couldn't help but scold Lin Jiaruo lightly: "This is a political matter, what are you a little girl involved in?" Won't Daddy handle it? ”

Lin Jiaruo shook his hand lovingly, and said softly: "Daddy can't see his daughter being wronged, and his daughter can't see his father being wronged!" ”

Lin Shisheng almost burst into tears.

Xu Yaoning coughed dryly twice, and said in a low voice: "Those scholars, you have to pay special attention, they are clamoring to abolish the prince, and the princelings are only afraid that they are hating ......"

Lin Shisheng's eyes were shocked, he patted Lin Jiaruo's shoulder, and said, "Go home and wait for me!" "Hurried away.

When such a thing happened, Lin Jiaruo still had the heart to stay in Xing'er Hutong, so he naturally went home and waited for news.

Lin Shisheng did not come back that day.

The next day, the people who were sent out to inquire about the news brought back a shocking piece of news.

In the past few days, Jin Wuwei, who had surrounded the Prince's Mansion, withdrew overnight, and instead surrounded the Qi Palace, and the King of Qi himself had been summoned into the palace.

On the third day, the prince left the palace, and the king of Qi was still in the palace.

On the fourth day, Lin Shisheng finally returned home.

Lin Jiaruo got the news early and greeted him at the door.

He didn't return for a few days, and he was tired when he returned, but he didn't rush to rest, and went directly to Lin Jingsheng.

As soon as they met, they got straight to the point and said: "Gu Zhan is going to have an accident!" ”

Lin Jiaruo was so shocked that he forgot to cross the threshold, and stood outside the door and looked inside in a daze.

Lin Jingsheng's face also changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Is it related to the prince's overturning of the case? ”

Lin Zhizhi is dead, Gu Zhan is half of Dafang's son, Gu Zhan has been in custody for the past few days, and Lin Shisheng has also taken care of him.

Lin Shisheng nodded with a calm face and said: "The prince has been shouting grievances in front of the emperor, and the evidence is conclusive, but the day before yesterday, when His Majesty ordered Gu Zhan to confront the prince for the last time, Gu Zhan suddenly proposed that he had seen the prince's order and the Taicang order to hand over the accounts, and he was willing to confront the prince's order!" ”

"Why do you want to do that?" Lin Jingsheng's eyebrows tightened, and there was already a faint fear in his eyes.

Originally, Gu Zhan only had to reconfirm the accounts.

"After Gu Zhan met with the crown prince Diancang Ling, he denied that he had seen this person!" Lin Shisheng said.

Lin Jingsheng looked at him in shock.

"According to the appearance of the person described by Gu Zhan, Yuan Yan pointed out that it was from the Qi Palace!"

"Yuan Yan!" Lin Jiaruo shouted and looked at Lin Shisheng in shock.

Lin Shisheng also looked back at her and nodded heavily.

"It's Yuan Yan!" His tone was a little helpless, "Your Majesty asked the retainers of the Qi Royal Mansion to be summoned into the palace, and Gu Zhan was asked to identify them one by one, and finally pointed out a master of the Qi Royal Mansion!" ”

"It's Yuan Yan! It must have been Yuan Yan who threatened him to do this! Lin Jiaruo ran in and said anxiously, "Dad, Second Brother Gu must have some trick in Yuan Yan's hands!" ”

Lin Shisheng gave her a slightly calm look, and continued: "Your Majesty immediately sent someone to check the granary of the Qi King's Mansion - the granary of the King of Qi could not store 400,000 stone of grain at all, but the accounts of the Qi King's granary were also a little unclear-" The tone was closed, and he looked at Lin Jingsheng.

"Ah Zhan is confused!" Lin Jingsheng said sadly, "Most of the officials of the Taicang Department followed him to identify the prince, the prince is already conclusively incriminated, and the prisoners of the country have all asked for his life, and he suddenly retracted his confession - his career reputation is ruined!" ”

Lin Shisheng nodded and said: "He was originally born in the imperial examination, and he is the most noble, but now he ......" sighed and shook his head.

Lin Jiaruo was confused: "Who stole the military rations?" ”

"The prince is not innocent!" Lin Shisheng explained to her, "It is normal for the accounts of the granaries of each government to be unclear, but the accounts of the prince's mansion are even more inconsistent, and the human and material evidence is relatively complete, but as soon as Gu Zhan retracts his confession, it depends on His Majesty's verdict!" ”

The Emperor's Verdict?

Lin Jiaruo suddenly remembered the news that came yesterday, the prince left the palace, and the king of Qi did not return.

"The emperor believes the crown prince?" Lin Jiaruo's unspeakable disappointment was for what she had happened to the prince and for the scholars who petitioned at noon that day.

"The emperor pinched the evidence, listened to the prince shout for several days, and used Jin Wuwei to arrest the troublemaker-" Lin Shisheng smiled bitterly, "It shows that he doesn't want to move the prince at all!" ”

"He knows all this?" Lin Jingsheng suddenly asked with a strange expression.

Lin Shisheng nodded: "I told him!" ”

The look on Lin Jingsheng's face changed in a thousand ways, and finally turned into a surging rage: "Beast! ”
