After some deliberation, Shangshu of the Criminal Department decided to pick up the persimmon first and pinch it softly, "What the county lord said is reasonable. Since there are doubts in the state government's trial, the criminal department will re-try and verify that Xiangping Mansion is far away, and it takes time to go back and forth. Governor Hu, you are familiar with the facts of the case, and I have to trouble you to stay and cooperate."

Hu Zhifu panicked, he didn't know what this so-called "cooperation" meant, and kept kowtowing and shouting grievances.

Zhao Chen's face was cold, unmoved, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice, "Take it down."

Immediately, a jailer stepped forward, took Hu Zhifu into custody, shackled him hands and feet, and walked to the back of the hall.

The shackles rattled, and the shouts of prefect Hu's injustice gradually faded away.

The Marquis of Yongping arched his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor of Xiaguan and Hu Zhifu has read it, and the specific case of the case has also been played by the emperor in the imperial study. The emperor also praised the Hu Governor's Mansion for its ability to do things."

Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to the meaning of Yongping Hou's words, he supported the public desk with both hands, and his phoenix eyes were cold, "This case is the chief judge alone, and it is alone who has the final say."

Marquis Yongping was a little surprised that the prince was so tough, not only did he not give him the emperor to carry out, but he didn't even have an explanation.

He said solemnly, "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince planning to detain Xia Guan as well?"

Zhao Chen's voice was cold, "It's not necessary. For a person as tough as Yongping Hou, torture won't work for you."

Yongping Hou's heart sank.

The prince is saying that he is going to make a breakthrough from Hu Wende.

He had heard from his staff about the prince's torture methods, which was extremely spicy.

Zhao Chen turned his head to look at Zhao Chengyuan, and leaned over slightly, "Uncle Huang thinks it's appropriate?"

Zhao Chengyuan said lightly, "The crown prince is the chief judge, so there is no need to ask this king."

Zhao Chen smiled, "Okay, listen to Uncle Huang."

He was getting up and announcing that the case of destroying the door would be pushed down and retried, and officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple would go to Xiangping Mansion for verification.

He added at the end, "But there is dereliction of duty, and it will not be punished severely."

He spoke slowly, word by word, like a stone thrown to the ground, and there was a loud sound.

The coldness in his eyes also made everyone present feel cold in their hearts.

Han Youning knows best what this "severe punishment" means.

Die.

Zhao Chen seemed to be really planning to make a move on Yongping Hou.

Han Youning didn't expect Zhao Chen to confront the Marquis of Yongping for her, after all, the person behind the Marquis of Yongping was the emperor, and offending the emperor would not be of any benefit to his position as the prince.

She painstakingly designed these, thinking that Yongping Hou would be completely exposed to the surface, so that the truth that Yongping Hou was the murderer was about to come out, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department would have to push the case down and retry it under pressure.

In any case, she had been planning for so long, and her goal had been achieved.

If Yongping Hou wants to easily control the government, sway people's hearts, and escape responsibility, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Yongping Hou left angrily, and the trial was dispersed.

Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen walked out of the lobby first, and the others left one after another.

Out of the lobby, the sun was just right outside.

Han Youning walked with Huo Shan.

Han Youning remembered what Zhao Chengyuan said that night that Huo Shan was his person.

Such a world-famous hero, who is full of righteousness, is willing to be subservient to others, but he doesn't know how Zhao Chengyuan moved him.

Huo Shan smiled, "I haven't thanked the county lord for the snacks yet."

Although he only ate one piece of that snack, last night the prince went to the dart bureau to look for him, and drank half a night's wine at him, and he ate all the glutinous rice and osmanthus cakes.

I don't know where the osmanthus cake is so delicious.

He always felt that the prince had been eating well recently. Whether it's dim sum or steamed buns, you can eat it very much.

This doesn't quite match the temperament of the immortals.

Han Youning smiled, "That was originally promised to Uncle Shi. Uncle Shi, why don't you do me another favor and change another box of snacks?"

Huo Shan laughed heartily, "Okay, county lord, please speak!"

Han Youning said, "Uncle Shi sent someone to help me find a small courtyard, it doesn't have to be too big, two entrances are enough. It is necessary to live a convenient and quiet environment."

Huo Shan didn't ask the reason, and responded quickly.

Zhao Chen, who was walking in front of them, slowed down and looked back at Han Youning.

At this time, his eyes were already warm colors, and he was smiling.

Huo Shan looked at Zhao Chengyuan, who was surrounded by officials at the front, and then looked at Zhao Chen, who was breezy and clear, and suddenly had a sense of crisis.

The prince has been very attentive to the county lord recently.

The county lord is the year of peach and plum, and when the spring heart sprouts, in case a heart is promised to others......

Zhao Chen said to Huo Shan, "Mr. Huo, say a few words to the county lord."

Huo Shan nodded, reluctantly got out of the way, and retreated to the back.

Looking at the prince of Jin again, his body seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but his footsteps never stopped.

Lord, turn back!

Zhao Chen walked beside Han Youning and said with a warm smile, "I didn't expect that you are so shrewd and eloquent at such a young age, and there are not many people who can make Yongning Hou deflated."

Han Youning looked ahead and said calmly, "The little girl has escaped death several times, so she should always figure out something."

The girl's expression was calm and indifferent.

A panicked and angry face appeared in Zhao Chen's eyes, her face was full of tears, but her anger was nothing more than the futile struggle of the trapped beast, and she finally made herself bruised all over her body.

At that interrogation, she said that a man in black rescued her that night, and she fled that night. She also said that she was the daughter of Dingguo Gong.

But today, she did not mention her life experience, and Huo Shan's testimony a few days ago also said that she left Xiangping Mansion a few days earlier.

Why is there such a big change?

Still is......

Zhao Chen looked at her and asked, "Why did your father let you go to Beijing alone?"

Han Youning saw that he finally asked this question, which was her biggest flaw at present.

She smiled bitterly, "If the little girl tells the truth, can His Highness spare the little girl and Mr. Huo's deception."

Zhao Chen waved back left and right, and even Wei Xiao was far away from them.

"You say, Lone won't be held accountable."

Han Youning thought about things in his heart again.

If the biggest difference between the two lives is that Zhao Chengyuan saved her from falling into the water, and then went to Beijing together. For Zhao Chen, this is not a change because of her.

Her best way is to start with Zhao Chengyuan.

"Actually, the little girl was also there on the night of the destruction, but later a group of black-clothed people rushed in, and the little girl was rescued, and then escaped from Xiangping Mansion with the help of Yu Niang."

Zhao Chen's eyes moved slightly, "Man in black? Do you recognize them?"

Han Youning shook his head, "They didn't speak, they left after killing those thieves. And they didn't take any gold and silver treasures, not like bandits. That's why in the hall today, the little girl will question the whereabouts of the treasure. After all, there was a curfew at night, and it was Governor Hu who took over the Chen Mansion the next day, who could transport so many things under his nose without being noticed?"

"Well, that makes sense." Zhao Chen asked, "Then why do you want to hide it?"

------Off topic------

I'm sorry, dear friends, it's been a day off, and it's really passive to not save the manuscript......
