Lin Jueshan bit his lip with a tangled expression, his eyes cautiously aimed at Ye Ruiming, and he stopped talking.

"Xu Aiqing might as well say it directly." The emperor urged impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Lai organized his language for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "The minister was supposed to be with him at that time, but the people in the Rui Wangfu thought that the minister's official position was low and unworthy, so he asked the minister to get out of the interrogation room." ”

"Presumptuous!" The emperor slammed the imperial case.

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers ......" Xu Laiyou knelt down suddenly.

"What is Xu Aiqing doing when he kneels!" The emperor said coldly: "I said that I was presumptuous, because the people of the Rui Wangfu, just the people, dared to take my token as an arrow, and dared to say that the dignified servant was not worthy!" ”

"Father's anger is at ease."

This time, it was Ye Rui's turn to be in a hurry.

"Father, the people in the son's palace will never dare to be so presumptuous, there must be ...... this"

"Lord Wang, this matter is just as Lord Xu said, the lower officials can also testify, the lower officials were against it at the time, but they were also reprimanded." Lin Jueshan added in time on the side.

It doesn't matter if he has it or not, anyway, at this moment, Xu Lai said that there is, that is!

Their criminal department must have a united front, otherwise he will not be able to figure out the matter of "Wen Zhiting"!

"You guys are talking nonsense!" Ye Ruiming waved his sleeves coldly and arched his hand: "Father, Lord Lin, they want to shirk their responsibilities!" ”

"Yo, when the matter comes to Rui'er, it becomes Lord Lin and they want to shirk their responsibility? Well? Why don't you send your men to confront the emperor? The eldest princess choked coldly, and the anger that had just been wronged just found an outlet.

"Don't be afraid! I beg the emperor to summon those people, and the ministers are willing to confront them face to face! Lin Jueshan said decisively.

"Enough! I'll leave this matter to your criminal department. The emperor gave an order in a cold voice.

"Father, this matter is already related to the Criminal Department, wouldn't it be biased to let them be responsible!" Ye Ruiming retorted unconvinced.

"Humph! Then it's up to you, King Rui? The emperor glared at Ye Ruiming angrily, and said: "I have already decided on this matter, and the Criminal Department will be responsible for it!" Didn't your people say that Xu Aiqing was not qualified? Then I will promote him to be the secretary of the criminal department now! ”

"Your Majesty!" When Lin Jueshan heard the emperor's words, his legs, which were already kneeling, suddenly weakened, and he called out tremblingly.

"Lin Aiqing, you actually let a group of subordinates do these things under your nose, then you don't have to sit in the position of Shangshu, from today on, you will start to learn again!"

"Minister, thank you!" Lin Jueshan wanted to cry without tears, bit his lip and thanked him, and glared at Ye Ruiming fiercely, it was all his people who harmed him!

"Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister will definitely not act cautiously in the future! The minister has something to say, hoping to make up for it. Lin Jueshan kowtowed to the emperor and said: "Prince Rui once sent someone to send a message to the ministers, saying that as long as Wen Zhiting enters the criminal department, she will be punished and waited, and other matters will be handled by someone." ”

"When did this king say this! Lord Lin, is this a demoted official, do you want to bite this king at will and drag this king into the water? Ye Ruiming asked angrily.

"The prince can fall into the well, what else is there to hide for you!" Lin Jueshan took out an item from his sleeve pocket and said, "This is a note from that person to the minister, he asked the minister to burn it in front of him, but the minister kept an eye on it and changed the note." ”

The eunuch on the side hurriedly took the note and handed it to the emperor.

"Presumptuous! Darn! Rui'er, you're really impressing! The emperor looked at the note in his hand, and then at "Wen Zhiting" on the ground, what is not clear about this connection!

"Father, the son is wronged! Erchen really didn't let anyone talk or spread the news. Ye Ruiming said unwillingly and aggrievedly.

How could he be so stupid! Obviously, he could let his people directly torture to extract confessions, so why do you do this extra thing, passing through this Lin Jue Mountain! Leave this so-called evidence clear!

"I still don't recognize your handwriting?" The emperor said angrily: "See for yourself! ”

The emperor threw the note out casually, and a small piece of paper fell a few steps in front of Ye Ruiming, and he couldn't get up because he couldn't reach it, so he had to kneel down and pick it up.

The words on it made him think that he had written it while sleepwalking.

"Father, this ......"

Ye Ruiming didn't speak, and there was another voice outside the hall.

The emperor's eyebrows are tightened, and today's hall is really lively.

When Yin Lu Jiafu of Jingzhao Mansion brought people into the hall, Ye Ruiming and the others were shocked again.

Only Luo Ning, who had been kneeling, had no change in his face.

"The ministers see the emperor!" After Lu Jiafu bowed to the emperor, he said: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife was on the way back from offering incense outside the city today, and met a woman who was being chased and killed, so he rescued her and brought her back to Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Hunted down? Then go and investigate and arrest the thief, instead of bringing someone into the palace without my consent, you are guilty! The emperor reprimanded casually.

"The minister is guilty!" Lu Jiafu knelt down directly and said: "Kechen didn't dare to let her stay outside, I was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would be 'disappeared'!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

"The emperor is angry!" Lu Jiafu said unhurriedly: "It's just because this woman said that the person who killed her was a powerful person, just because she was Wen Zhiting, and she was involved in the harem." ”

"Wen Zhiting?!" The emperor looked at the woman who was shaking like a sieve on the ground, and didn't even dare to raise her head to look at it, and said, "Raise your head!" ”

It's just that the emperor's words were like air in Wen Zhiting's ears, and she was not moved at all.

"Miss Wen, you raise your head and answer the emperor's words, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you here." Lu Jiafu's voice softly soothed.

Wen Zhiting heard Lu Jiafu's voice, so she slowly raised her head and said to the emperor: "Slave Wen Zhiting, slave and maid don't want to die, slave and maid did not murder the queen's mother, slave and maid were not instructed, don't kill slave and maid, slave and maid don't want to die!" ”

"Your Majesty, this girl was overly frightened, she fainted several times when she was in Jingzhao Mansion, and her body was even more scarred, she once muttered when she was in a coma, and she wanted to escape, etc., the minister guessed, she should have escaped from somewhere when she happened to meet the minister's wife."

Lu Jiafu sighed and said, "The minister didn't know what she was involved in the harem, so he had to bring her into the palace and ask the emperor to adjudicate." ”

"Thank you Lord Lu for saving Zhiting's life." Tang Yueling, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbed and finally remembered to thank Lu Jiafu.

Lu Jiafu heard this coldly, and then saw that it was Tang Yueling, and hurriedly avoided her salute.

"The county lord is polite, this is the duty of the lower officials." Lu Jiafu said: "Is this girl related to the county lord?" ”

"Zhiting is the personal servant of the county lord." Tang Yueling said: "It was the county lord who affected her and let her suffer an unwarranted disaster. ”

Tang Yueling wiped away her tears, looked at the emperor and said, "Uncle Emperor, this matter is clearly that someone wants to use Zhiting to target me and my mother!" Please give us justice to the emperor's uncle! ”

"Your Majesty, the maidservants of the people's daughters have also been implicated in this, and the emperor is also asked to uphold justice." Luo Ning said aggrievedly: "If King Rui wants to trouble the people's daughter, then even if he targets the people's daughter, please don't implicate the innocent." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ye Ruiming glanced at the people who were standing or kneeling, and said with a gloomy expression: "This king knows, you are uniting to frame this king!" Father, you ......"

"Shut up!"

The emperor scolded angrily, looked at Bai Ling, who was almost fainting, and then looked at Wen Zhiting, who was talking crazy and muttering non-stop, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together.
