Bai Wanrou stood up from her chair almost the same moment she heard this.

She carved the word surprise on her face.

"Is what you're telling true?"

Lin Yi nodded, obviously feeling that her reaction was a bit exaggerated.

Because of the words that came with her, Chen Ruzhi, who was sitting in the room at this time, just raised his eyebrows, and then rubbed the teacup on the table with an indifferent expression.

Bai Wan remembered something again, and then asked, "Did that person say what is his relationship with the prince?" ”

At that time, Song Yinhua told Lin Yi everything outside the mansion, so Lin Yi thought for a moment at this time, and directly re-said what he heard.

Don't say it's Bai Wanrou this time, even Chen Ruzhi, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't sit still a little and moved his body in the chair.

"No personal relationship?"

Bai Wanrou repeated it, muttering this sentence in a low voice.

How is this possible?

Although she didn't want to think that her father was a sinner, the evidence was overwhelming, how could the man who turned himself in come up with such a ridiculous reason?

Bai Wanrou almost sneered, making Lin Yi, who was standing outside the door, a little overwhelmed.

"Would you like to go over and have a look?"

Her reaction was a little abnormal, Chen Ruzhi immediately understood what it was, and he also had some doubts, so he simply asked.

"Look! Go now! ”

Bai Wanrou looked firm as if she was going to do something big, and walked out of the courtyard in three or two steps, leaving him far behind.

Faced with such a scene, Chen Ruzhi was not annoyed, laughed inexplicably, and walked slowly behind her.

As soon as she walked out of the threshold of the palace, she saw Song Yinhua who was anxiously waiting outside.

"Yin'er? How did you end up here? ”

In an instant, she remembered that when Lin Yi came in, he said that someone outside the mansion asked to see her, and suddenly understood something.

"Don't talk about it so much now, let's go to Shuntianfu and have a look."

Song Yinhua didn't have time to explain too much to her, so he pulled people and ran out.

Chen Ruzhi, who was behind them, was not as fast as the two of them, stood in front of the empty threshold of the palace for a few moments, and got into the carriage without hesitation.

"So according to you, the tool you used to kill the peasant girl was a hoe?"

"Yes."

The person who turned himself in answered every question with confidence and certainty.

It's a pity that he was so fluent that it seemed to be a memorized testimony betrayed him, so that everyone standing in Suncheonfu could hear the mistake.

However, Song Yuanlie, who was sitting in the right position, did not speak, and none of them dared to act rashly.

I saw Song Yuanlie think for a while, and looked up at the man with one hand on his chin, as if he was looking at others through him.

After a long time he said, "This is the end of today's judgment." ”

Song Yinhua, who came in a hurry, heard such a sentence at this time.

She couldn't help but want to rush in to stop Song Yuanlie, but fortunately, Bai Wanrou, who was standing next to her, stopped her.

But that didn't do much either.

Because even if Song Yinhua stood outside the door and didn't do anything, the two farmers inside the door couldn't sit still.

"Song Sicheng, how can you let people go so easily? This man is clearly not the one who killed my daughter! ”

Although he confessed all the evidence perfectly, this is precisely what others do not believe.

Song Yuanlie raised his hand, and several subordinates pressed down their parents who wanted to make trouble.

"Song Yuanlie, you can't be so hasty! My daughter died so miserably, you have to give her justice! ”

Although the farmer and his wife were dragged down, they still cried out about the injustice of the world.

Bai Wanrou outside the door could only stand in place and watch, her heart was extremely tormented.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with what the two of them were doing, on the contrary, the tragic situation of the peasant girl's corpse appeared in her mind again and again at this moment.

Because she had seen how tragic this incident was, she understood better than anyone how difficult it was for her parents.

But Bai Wanrou also knew that this matter was not so simple, the original complaint was against the prince for murder, but the person who turned himself in said that he had no personal relationship with the prince.

Anyone can figure out what's wrong.

A smart person like Song Yuanlie will naturally think more than others, so although he chose to end today, Bai Wanrou knew that he had other unspeakable secrets.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped Song Yinhua.

And Song Yuanlie in the hall sighed deeply at this time, of course he knew that such a move would provoke the dissatisfaction of his parents.

However, the forces involved were too great for him to make any choice but to convict.

Someone below looked at each other a few times, and asked Song Yuanlie under huge pressure, "Song Temple Cheng...... Will this man be condemned? ”

Song Yuanlie nodded, "The evidence is conclusive, convicted!" ”

Instead of showing any fear, the man breathed a sigh of relief as if he had accomplished some important task.

His appearance made Song Yuanlie feel even more uneasy, and even spurned himself a little.

Song Yuanlie didn't continue to look at him, and walked out of the main hall directly.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard Song Yinhua's words, "Father, how can you be like this?!" ”

Bai Wanrou beside her couldn't stop her, so she had to let her quarrel with Song Yuanlie.

"What's wrong with me?"

"You knew that the person was not the murderer, but you still ended the case hastily, could it be that you bowed your head because of power?"

Song Yinhua's eyes were already covered with a layer of mist like glass, she knew that what she said was really excessive, but she couldn't control it.

Hearing this, Song Yuanlie directly pulled the person to the shade of the tree on the side.

Bai Wanrou didn't follow, she knew that the father and daughter should want to whisper, so she went to Song Yinhua's room with great discernment.

"You don't know who your father and I are? Have you ever done anything shameful in your life? ”

"Look at those princes and magnates, who have I been afraid of? The yellow-haired girl, who still doesn't understand anything, starts talking about me. ”

Of course, Song Yinhua knew that what his father said was reasonable.

He has always been known for his fairness and strictness, even with her, his own daughter.

It was precisely because of this that she was dissatisfied with his verdict today.

Even if she is a little girl who has never been in contact with a case, she can see through a few words today that this person is not good.

Song Yinhua pursed her lips aggrievedly, "But father, you know that you are the only hope in their eyes, why do you still make such a move?" ”

Song Yuanlie sighed, he knew that his daughter was simple and kind, and the reason why he had the courage to accuse him today was because of the grievances of the parents.

But he sat in such a position, and the pressure was far more than she imagined.

What's more, the person who came was so well prepared, no matter what questions he asked, he could answer them fluently, and the human and physical evidence was complete.

Even if he didn't want to convict, it wouldn't work.

"You are still young, and the circle of contact is completely different from mine, and there are some things that you will not understand even if I tell you."

He has a bunch of big truths on weekdays, Song Yinhua has never been able to talk about him, and now he said half-coquettishly and half-complainingly: "Anyway, my daughter just thinks that you have handled this matter inappropriately." ”

When Song Yuanlie heard her tone, he knew that she could already think calmly.

So he only jokingly flexed his index finger and tapped her forehead, "Then I'll give you my seat, okay?" ”

His tone was full of pampering, but it still made Song Yinhua speechless.

Of course, she knew that she was not as capable as her father, and she knew that in the past, her father was the object of her admiration.

If she hadn't been able to look past it today, she wouldn't have had the courage to confront her father no matter what.

"Okay, okay, I can't say father, you, I'll go and play with Xiaorou."

Song Yinhua slipped away close to the desert and fled, and Song Yuanlie, who was behind her, also fell into deep thought at the same time.

The man's performance was so clumsy that even his own daughter could see it, how much more could he not see?

If this matter is only the work of the prince alone, he will also confront this force.

But the reason why he was able to come to him and surrender himself was obviously not just the prince's order.

If you go to the crown prince's head again...... That's the emperor.

Fighting against the emperor's orders, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to live a few more lives.

Song Yuanlie sighed, thinking that if it weren't for the fact that he always thought so much, he wouldn't have hesitated for so long in this matter.

His daughter is still dissatisfied with his own actions, and the parents of the peasant girl also complain a lot, who can know that he is also suffering in his heart?

He shook his head, and the steps he had originally prepared to go back to his room went to the library again because of this little episode.

As soon as Song Yinhua pushed the door open, he saw Bai Wanrou and Chen Ruzhi sitting steadily in his room.

Bai Wanrou can still talk about it here, just to wait for her to come over and talk.

But why did Chen Ruzhi, the prince of Jian'an, appear in his room?

Even if Song Yinhua is good friends with Bai Wanrou on weekdays, she has to admit that she and Chen Ruzhi are indeed not familiar with each other.

Therefore, her eyes were a little wary, and she walked behind Bai Wanrou and asked her in a low voice, "Why is Chen Ruzhi in my room?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Wanrou thought seriously for a moment, and sighed almost inaudibly.

Speaking of this, she still doesn't understand.

He had only been in Song Yinhua's room for a while, and before his mood had calmed down, he pushed open the door and walked in.

At that time, she could be described as shocked, shocked.

After all, Chen Ruzhi was a person who had never been to Shuntian Mansion, how could he find Song Yinhua's room so easily?

Bai Wanrou didn't understand, and she was embarrassed to ask him, so she suppressed this doubt in her heart.

Now facing Song Yinhua's question, she can only say softly: "I don't know why about this matter." ”

Chen Ruzhi on the side only heard the two of them whispering, but he didn't know what they were talking about, so he cleared his throat and signaled that there was another person here.

Seeing this, Song Yinhua didn't hide it, sat directly on the chair, drank a big sip of tea, and then asked Bai Wanrou as if she was talking about a serious matter:

"Xiaorou, can you know what my father means by doing this today?"

Although Song Yuanlie had just explained it to her, she still felt that there was something she hadn't figured out about this matter.

"In short, I think that the reason why Song Sicheng chose to convict that person must have his reasons."
