Chapter 102: Beating the Reservoir Dogs (1st Update)

When she got closer, Han Youning saw clearly, Zhao Chengyuan's eyes were dark, he pursed his lips slightly, and looked at her for a moment.

The autumn wind swept across his brows, leaving a layer of coolness.

Zhao Chen beside him was already saluting.

Han Youning put away his chaotic thoughts and stepped forward to give a blessing, "The little girl has seen the prince."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at the two people in front of him who were saluting one after the other, and said lightly, "Go in."

He turned and walked up the steps and entered the gate of Dali Temple.

The officials on both sides of the road bowed down one after another, and the Dali Siqing and the military department Shangshu were one left and one right, bowing slightly all the way, stretching out their hands to lead Zhao Chengyuan inside.

Several jury officers hula followed.

Wang Shaoqing, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, followed Zhao Chen, lest the prince be annoyed by being snubbed, and explained, "The prince of Jin does not come often, and the two adults will inevitably lead the way to explain one or two."

Zhao Chen said lightly, "It's okay. And rightfully so."

Han Youning took a wrong step back and looked at the backs of Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen, one was clear and the other was sharp. Both of them are capable characters who have the ability to stir up trouble in the capital, and their identities are higher and lower, and perhaps everyone has a different answer in their hearts.

She had been thinking about a question all the way.

If Zhao Chen was killed on the day of the palace change, then who was the person who killed him?

On that day, Zhao Chengyuan rushed into the Prince's Mansion in blood, was the blood on his body from the guards of the Prince's Mansion, or was it dyed in the palace?

If Zhao Chen was killed by Zhao Chengyuan, then, Zhao Chen has the advantage of the prophet, isn't Zhao Chengyuan very dangerous?

After entering the lobby of the trial, Zhao Chen led Han Youning to a Taishi chair on the side and sat down, while Huo Shan, who was also a witness, was standing there.

Dali Siqing respectfully invited Zhao Chengyuan to sit next to the presiding judge in the lobby, personally gave the tea prepared in advance, and explained, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of this case, and he needs to preside over the trial......

Zhao Chengyuan glanced at Zhao Chen, who had arranged a seat for Han Youning, "This king is listening, this position is just right."

Dali Siqing smiled yes, and sat with the criminal department Shangshu to the position of deputy judge on the other side.

Han Youning sat and looked around the lobby. Sitting directly across from her was the Marquis of Yongping, as well as Hu Wende, the prefect of Xiangping Mansion.

Yongping Hou's eyes were sharp, staring at her.

Han Youning did not avoid his gaze and looked at him calmly.

She had been preparing for so long, and she had been waiting for today.

Stick to beat the water dogs.

Zhao Chen was already sitting upright in the presiding judge's seat, and asked Governor Hu to state the results of the investigation of the murder case.

Sure enough, just like in his previous life, Governor Hu qualitatively ransacked the bandits, and boasted of his great achievements in leading officers and soldiers to suppress bandits.

The Marquis of Yongping, as well as the garrison generals who suppressed the bandits, gave him circumstantial evidence.

In fact, everyone knows about these things, and some of them have already been presented to the emperor's desk before they arrived.

What the emperor actually wants to do is just to go through the motions. did not send anyone to Xiangping Mansion to verify, so the case was closed directly according to Hu Wende's words, and the Chen family's property was emptied to fill the treasury.

Zhao Chen looked at Han Youning, "County Lord Zhaoping, you are the daughter of the Chen family, what do you have to say?"

Han Youning said, "I want to ask Governor Hu a question, catch thieves and catch stolen goods, the jewelry and silver taels looted by bandits, can you find them? How many?"

Hu Wende said what he had prepared, "A total of more than two thousand taels of silver tickets were found...... The bandits are numerous, and they have already divided the stolen goods, sold them, or squandered them, but they are not easy to recover."

Han Youning couldn't help but laugh, "Does Governor Hu know how rich the Chen family is? When I came out this time, I brought more than 600,000 taels of silver tickets with me, which are all my private money, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince have also seen it. My elders and six brothers had only a lot more silver in their hands than mine, not to mention the countless jewels, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. With so many silver treasures, there are only more than 100 bandits, and it is not easy to squander them so quickly."

She smiled and asked, "But you don't know where the treasure goes?"

As soon as Han Youning said this, the lobby

There was a sound of inhalation.

The Chen family is so rich!

No wonder it could afford to raise an army of 200,000 back then!

When the officials looked at Prefect Hu and Marquis Yongping again, their eyes were different.

Especially Yongping Hou, who raised a daughter who was greedy for the dowry of his sister-in-law, and he also helped to spend it together, with this precedent in the past, the whereabouts of the huge treasures of the Chen Mansion are about to come out!

Hu Wende scolded secretly, he also wanted to know where these treasures went!

He looked like a majestic elder, with some displeasure, "Miss Chen, you still call this official a Shibo on weekdays, you should know that this official is a person. Those bandits were led by the Marquis of Yongping and his own officials to find clues and traces, and there will definitely be no mistake."

"Governor Hu is so powerful."

Zhao Chengyuan drank tea and said in a rambling voice, "Zhaoping is the county lord of the emperor's own title, and he is a title only for the daughter of the royal family. If you talk about the rules, you still have to kowtow to her, and you have taught her a lesson here."

Governor Hu hurriedly knelt down and confessed, "The prince forgives the sin! The county lord forgives the sins! It's because the subordinate officials were confused for a moment and forgot their identity......

He had indeed forgotten his identity for a moment. He is the largest in Xiangping Mansion, and the emperor is far away, he is the emperor of the soil. Everyone respects him, and the Chen family pays filial piety every month of the year, and he has never taken the Chen family seriously in his eyes.

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "Now that you know the rules, let's kneel there and reply."

Governor Hu froze in place, kneeling here, didn't he become a prisoner?

All the officials also looked at each other, so it was Governor Hu who was tried today?

Or, add another Yongping Hou?

The corners of Han Youning's lips raised slightly, and he looked at Zhao Chengyuan with a smile.

His sentence of "kneeling and replying" can be regarded as confirming the identity of Hu Zhifu's suspect. Those officials will also be jealous and dare not openly protect the Marquis of Yongping.

Zhao Chengyuan looked indifferent at first, and after a while, he finally sighed, and his eyebrows and eyes softened.

Zhao Chen glanced at Han Youning, and didn't miss her smile, like a spring bloom.

Dali Siqing and Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at each other, although they were deputy judges, the trial still depended on them.

Although everyone had doubts before, they were never sure of the depth of the water, and no one dared to investigate it in detail.

But now that the county lord of Zhaoping has pierced the window paper, and the king of Jin has set the tone for the identity of the prefect of Hu, they can't deviate.

Dali Temple Qing said, "Governor Hu, you can't tell where to go with so many treasures, you killed a few mountain bandits and came to pay for it, do you think Dali Temple is vegetarian?"

Governor Hu's body is like a sifting chaff, "Xiaguan...... The subordinate officials are incompetent, and the investigation of the case is a little rough, and the treasure is indeed not found......

Dali Siqing leaned forward, "Or perhaps, the person who seeks money and kills is Lord Hu?"

"Does Master Hu have any accomplices? Killing so many people quietly is not something that ordinary people can easily do."

……

Governor Hu looked at Yongping Hou helplessly.
