When the envoy heard this, she turned her head and looked at her in surprise: "Princess? …… Why did you come here in person? ”

"The stakes are high, I think...... Personally explain the situation before and after the prince's accident that night. Princess Hedong walked into the hall and looked at Jiang Zhengfu and the others: "I don't know if your lords will allow it?" ”

"The princess is serious, this case was originally because of the clues and testimony given by the princess, the facts of the case can be clarified so quickly, and it is more appropriate and more in line with the rules for the princess to come here to testify in person today." The criminal department Shangshu said.

"In the past few days, I have been treated and cared for by the palace doctor, my mind is a little calm, and my mind is clear, and my memory of the events of that night is clearer." Princess Hedong said: "Among them, there is a very important discrepancy, I must make it clear in court. ”

Discrepancy?

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department all looked at Princess Hedong with a straight face.

"Princess, please speak."

Princess Hedong: "I did hear the conversation of those men in black with my own ears that night, but what they mentioned in their original words was the word 'Hou Ye', not 'Dingbei Hou'——"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

And under this static word, a huge wave was quickly set off.

This princess of Hedong is here today, not to finalize the charges of the Beihou, but to excuse the other party? !

Jiang Zhengfu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he looked at Xiao Mu, but saw that there was also a hint of surprise in the other party's eyes.

"Does the princess know the difference between the words?" Zuo Du Yushi Zhengse twisted his eyebrows and asked.

"Just because I know ......" Princess Hedong glanced at the young man standing there, and said with some shame: "That's why I didn't dare to hide anything today." ”

"In this case, why did the princess claim so firmly that it was the Marquis of Dingbei who did it?"

"At that time...... At that time, I was so frightened that my mind was mixed up for a while, so I didn't choose what to say......"

"Without choosing what to say, why did you decide that it was the Marquis of Dingbei and not someone else?"

"Because ......" Princess Hedong hesitated for a moment, and said clearly: "Because the prince was drunk in the palace that night...... He had a conflict with the Marquis of Dingbei, and then was punished by the sage, so he decided that it was caused by the Marquis of Dingbei, and he was always angry about it on the way back...... In addition, the prince concurrently served as the defense envoy of Yingzhou, and there were many rumors outside...... In this way, the prince suddenly had an accident, and then I heard those people mention the word 'Hou Ye', so they were preconceived. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Dali Siqing exchanged glances with each other when they heard this.

That sounds reasonable......

"Now that I have sobered up and thought about it, they may not have expected this, so they deliberately induced me to suspect Dingbei Hou in their words!" Princess Hedong plucked up her courage and said.

Several people in the Criminal Department had complicated expressions when they heard this.

Most of them knew what the "results" of the three sessions would be today.

But at that moment, Princess Hedong suddenly changed her words......

For a while, Shangshu of the Criminal Department could only look at Jiang Zhengfu, who was "coming on behalf of me".

Jiang Zhengfu's gaze fell on Princess Hedong.

"What the princess means by her words is that the Beihou was wronged, and the murderer is someone else?"

This is extremely important.

If this Hedong princess was so thorough, he would have to think about it one more layer-

Jiang Zhengfu's gaze swept over Xiao Mu as if he were nothing.

"No......" Princess Hedong shook her head: "I don't dare to assert it, I just tell the truth and my conjectures truthfully." What is the truth of this case, naturally I still have to ask you to investigate it in detail. ”

As Ji Niangzi said, she just needs to tell the truth.

Only by telling the truth will there be no flaws, will you not be caught by others, and you will not cause some trouble that you can't deal with!

"In this case, although the princess is the bitter master, if she is biased in her testimony or falsifies, she will also be charged with perjury later-" Jiang Zhengfu's face was cold: "This point, the princess must be clear." ”

Hearing this, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was slightly relieved - it seems that Jiang Linggong should have "ironclad evidence" in his hands.

In this way, the testimony of Princess Hedong will be covered with perjury...... Of course, if Princess Hedong is smarter, she should naturally know how to choose.

After these words fell into the ears of Princess Hedong, she was more and more determined while being afraid: "...... I swear to heaven that everything I say today is true! ”

Fortunately, she made a timely choice and did not fall seriously to the point of "perjury"!

The criminal department Shangshu choked up.

"Finch, you also listened that night, you just need to tell the truth today!" Princess Hedong looked at the envoy.

The envoy nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what the princess said is the truth!" ”

Although I don't understand why the princess suddenly changed her mind, but as the princess's maidservant, she naturally said what the princess said!

Moreover......

The female envoy glanced at Xiao Mu quietly, and couldn't help but add: "Thinking about it now, those people ...... There is indeed a suspicion of planting false accusations between the words! The real culprit is not necessarily Dingbei Hou! If one ambiguity alone leads to condemnation...... I'm afraid it's a bit far-fetched and sloppy! ”

This idea, long before the princess appeared, she saw the first sight of Dingbei Hou in this hall...... And it was born!

Dingbei Hou has such a face, how could he do such a thing?

Before I saw the Beihou - this person is arrogant and has no king's law!

After meeting the Marquis of Dingbei - think about it carefully, is it a little hasty?

Otherwise, check it again?

Listening to the master and servant change their words together, Zuo Du Yushi frowned, and said bluntly: "In the past, the three divisions have been tried, and justice is the first, and the three halls are majestic, and there is no room for the slightest fraud and blasphemy-today I am waiting here, and there is also Jiang Linggong above, if the princess is threatened by someone, it can be said at this time that we and Dasheng Law will solve the difficulties for the princess." ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Princess Hedong said: "But since the prince's accident, I have not come out, so how can I talk about being threatened...... It's just that he doesn't want the truth to be buried, he doesn't want to wronged innocent people, and he misplaces the real murderer. ”

As she spoke, she bowed deeply, and said, "I beg you to find justice for the prince, so that the prince can rest in peace as soon as possible!" ”

"Since the princess has repeatedly claimed that today's testimony is true-" Jiang Zhengfu tilted his head slightly and confessed to the master of the hall: "Record the princess's words as court evidence, and ask the princess to sign the words and paintings on it as a guarantee." ”

In the face of Jiang Zhengfu's explanation, the master Bo did not dare to hesitate.

Soon, Princess Hedong signed the testimony.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department felt that the situation was a little tricky, and subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhengfu, only to hear the other party say: "Since Princess Hedong has changed her testimony today, and the evidence is insufficient, this case will be tried after the law——"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't help but be surprised: "Ling Gong ......!" ”

How did this case go this way?

What about the "evidence"?

Dali Temple came empty-handed?

"This official will tell your majesty the truth." Jiang Zhengfu said.

But......

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department wanted to say more, but saw Dali Siqing shaking his head slightly at him.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department could only temporarily suppress many doubts, raised his hand and answered "yes", and glanced at the young man in the hall with some hesitation.

The testimony is changed, and the evidence is insufficient, so ......

"At present, there is no evidence to prove that Beihou was the mastermind of the assassination of King Hedong, and it is not appropriate to detain him again according to the law." Jiang Zhengfu looked at Xiao Mu with a solemn expression: "It's just that this case is serious, and Dingbeihou is still suspicious, so before the truth comes out, I also ask Dingbeihou to temporarily live in the Hou's mansion and wait for the trial of Dali Temple at any time——"

A few people from the Criminal Department were even more surprised.

If you haven't been convicted, you're going to be released directly!

How so!

Is it the wrong way they are holding the church today?

Xiao Mu had already raised his hand, and his tone was not happy or angry: "Thank you for your impartiality." ”

The eyeliners who were guarding outside the six departments were shocked when they saw Dingbei Hou Quanxu leaving the gate of the criminal department, and immediately spread the news to the ears of their respective masters.

Following the carriage all the way through the long street, seeing the carriage and horses driving back to the direction of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Lan Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered to his subordinates: "Inform everywhere, the Hou Ye is fine, and the plan is temporarily canceled." ”

"Yes."

"This ...... What the hell is going on? After Jiang Zhengfu left, several people from the Criminal Department stood in one place and sighed repeatedly.

"Just let people go, how can I explain to Your Majesty?"

"Why is Jiang Linggong so ......?"

"It doesn't make sense!"

The opportunity to slash the enemy is in front of you, why do you risk offending the saint and push this opportunity away?!

Naturally, it's not just the officials of the three divisions who can't figure it out.

"This game is getting harder and harder......"

Yan Ming, who returned to the other courtyard, threw the chess pieces back into the chess bowl and said with a "tsk".

Another figure flashed into a mansion and revealed the news of the triage of the three divisions.

With a sigh of disappointment, the white, well-knuckled hand, with an old long scar on the tiger's mouth, threw all the fish food into the pond as if it were tasteless.

The fish gathered around and snatched food.

However, the big fish that the feeder really wanted to catch was hidden in the dark part of the water waves and never appeared.

……

“…… After inquiring clearly, the Marquis of Dingbei had returned to the Hou Mansion safely at this time! Cui Huai came back from outside, and said happily.

Heng Yu let out a long breath, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Earlier, she heard that the envoy of Princess Hedong had gone to the Ministry of Punishment alone, and her heart hung high.

Later, I heard that Princess Hedong went out in a hurry, and I felt that I saw a glimmer of hope.

And now it's completely reassuring.

"Great!" Gu Tingnan, who was sitting on the side, stood up suddenly, his face full of joy and joy.

Ning Yu couldn't help but look at her, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "How can Gu Niangzi look happier than my little Yu'er?" ”

Xiao Yu'er's thoughts, as a sister, have long been seen, but what about Gu Niangzi? Could it be that there are people who are concerned?

"I'm ...... I'm happy for Xiao Yu'er! Gu Tingnan tried to show a "tacit" expression to Ning Yu, but he didn't know whether he had passed the test or not.

Ning Yu smiled and didn't poke anything.

only looked at his sister and said, "It's naturally a good thing for Sansi to release people...... But listening to this news, it doesn't seem to be really clear of suspicion? ”

"Yes, even if there is no previous 'identification' of Princess Hedong, his motives and suspicions are also the greatest, and this matter is aimed at him." Heng Yu analyzed: "Therefore, only by finding out the real murderer can we completely get rid of this crime-"

But she still smiled and said, "But as long as the person returns to the Hou Mansion, it will be safe." ”

She finally didn't have to have the nightmare she had last night.

Ning Yu nodded in agreement: "Also, as long as people are safe, the truth can always be found out." ”

And from this point of view, these three divisions ...... It doesn't seem to be what we imagined at first, bent on putting Xiao Hou to death? Gu Tingnan lowered his voice and said: "Otherwise, even if Princess Hedong changes her words, as long as they bite the word 'motive' to death and continue to detain people, it won't be considered a violation of the rules, right?" ”

But right now, it's just letting people go!

It's like ...... stood on Xiao Hou's side, as if he believed in his innocence?

Heng Yu was also thinking: "The attitude of the three divisions is indeed a little unusual......

She had some guesses......

Specifically, Xiao Mu may have the answer.

At this moment, she wanted to meet him.

I really want to think about it.

But no.

Although he was able to return to the mansion this time, it was no different from being grounded, and there would definitely be officials from Dali Temple guarding outside the Hou Mansion, keeping an eye on his every move.

This is indeed the case.

At this time, although the Dingbei Hou Mansion has been withdrawn, the officials of Dali Temple are still there.

As soon as Xiao Mu returned to the front hall, he was slapped on the shoulder by Mrs. Xiao, who was looking forward to it: "You stinky boy, but you finally came back in good shape!" ”

Mrs. Xiao's voice was even louder, and her eyes were red: "I thought I would never have a chance to hold my grandson again!" ”

This statement is somewhat strange, but Xiao Mu also smiled: "Mother is too worried, her son has not yet married a wife, how can she easily let herself have an accident-"

"I'm not worried about you! Naturally, nothing will happen to you! How could something happen to you! Mrs. Xiao felt unlucky, and denied a few words before saying: "I'm afraid that I will die early, and I don't have the blessing of holding my grandson!" ”

She's bad luck herself, she can.

Stinky boy is unlucky, no.

Mrs. Xiao shed tears as she spoke.

Because Yinhai and the others were there, they inevitably felt a little embarrassed, and after a few words of comfort from their own stinky boy, they quickly stopped.

After rejoicing, it is really happy.

"Thank God...... Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears, lowered her voice, and said to her son: "Thank you Ah Heng even more, it was she who moved Princess Hedong to change her mind...... They saved you again! Ah Heng is busy for you this time, and his heart is broken...... What to do, do you know what to do? ”

"Yes." There was a smile in Xiao Mu's eyes: "My son has a number." ”

Subsequently, Mrs. Xiao took Mama to the small Buddha Hall to burn incense and make a vow, and Xiao Mu took Yan Ming and a few people to the study to talk.

……

The night was dark, and Gu Tingnan still didn't feel sleepy.

At this point, she simply got up, put on her clothes and walked out.

She was not from a boudoir lady, and she was not used to being taken care of when she was resting, so the two female envoys in the courtyard rested in the next room at night.

Her steps were so light that she didn't wake them.

She came to the camphor tree in the courtyard, circled the tree by moonlight, and couldn't help but wonder in a low voice: "No...... Supposedly, shouldn't you send a letter to Ah Heng today to reassure her? ”

Although it looks ...... right now I couldn't see the letter, but it seemed that she was more uneasy.

She stood there for a moment, sighed softly, and was about to return to her room when she heard a rustling sound overhead.

There was little noise, but it was a little more waking up in the silence of the night.

Gu Tingnan immediately looked up, but before she could react, she saw a black shadow jumping straight at her.

She subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but everything was only for a moment, and there was no time to hide.

When the black shadow jumped down, he had already noticed that there was someone below, but it was too late—

The two inevitably collided into one place, and Gu Tingnan was crushed under the tree by the black shadow that fell from the sky.

In the hazy night, the woman's soft lips touched the man's resolute side face.
