Ding Xiang sat in the middle, and Ding Zhao and his wife sat on both sides. Zhang put the mattress on the laps of several people, and the small copper stove was placed at the feet of the cloves hanging from it.

Ding Zhao looked at his daughter, there were no tears, but his nose and eyes were red, and he was trying his best to suppress his inner emotions.

My daughter has always been so sensible. Afraid, but not spoken.

He hugged Lilac and said, "Xiangxiang, don't be afraid, no one will hurt you. Daddy won't allow ......."

Zhang hugged Lilac and cried again.

Cried so much that Lilac's heart broke.

She regretted it. Qiu Wangzhi shouldn't be hinted at too clearly, this day shouldn't come so soon.

More than half an hour later, I came to the Jinwuwei Yamen.

The wind and snow were heavier, the dark clouds were low, and the sky was very overcast.

Several people were taken to a wing house by Qiu Wangzhi.

The lobby is brightly lit, with chandeliers and wall lamps all lit up.

Directly behind the big case in front of him sat a man in his forties. If Lilac expected it to be good, it should be Lord Xie, the commander of Jin Wuwei.

On the left sat several officials, one of them a crane complement and two peacock complements.

In this era, the various Shangshu is from the first product, Dali Siqing and Jingzhao Mansion Yin are the three products.

Lilac probably guessed who they were.

On the right sit Princess Dongyang, Xun Horse, and Fake Xun Xiang.

Princess Dongyang's face sank like water, and Xun Horse and fake Xun Xiang were full of suspicion.

Ding Zhao is the official, and Zhang is the woman, so he doesn't need to kowtow, he just bows and salutes.

There are no seats for them here, standing aside.

When Princess Dongyang saw them coming, she said in a cold voice, "What must I wait for them to come? There is no crime in this palace, and there is no intersection with their family, what are you doing?

"Tomorrow, I will go to the face of the saint and sue you, Lord Xie, for abusing his private power and forcing this palace to come here."

Commander Xie ignored her, and arched his hand to the officials on the left, "Ladies and gentlemen, please."

The three officials were Lord Shang Shulin of the Criminal Department, Lord Li of Dali Temple, and Lord Yin Qi of Jingzhao Mansion.

This is a shocking case, and yesterday Jin Wuwei invited them to try the case overnight.

They were all shocked.

In the morning, the Xun family was arrested, and before the punishment was moved, Xun Qiansong and Guo explained everything. Only the Gu family began to harden his mouth, and after the execution, he pushed everything to the old Su family and the Su family......

The three of them all modestly said, "Thank you, please."

This big case was handled by Jin Wuwei, and of course it was presided over by Lord Xie.

Master Xie looked at Lilac and Xun Xiang and said, "The two girls are still young, and they can't help themselves in this matter, so they take them out to listen to the order."

The main reason is that they are afraid that they will cry and make a fuss and affect the trial.

Fake Xunxiang was reluctant to go, so she got up and leaned into Princess Dongyang's arms, "Mother, I won't go, I'm afraid."

Princess Dongyang put her arms around Xun Xiang and said, "What must I send them away? The girl of this palace will not leave, she will be with this palace."

A sneer tugged at the corner of Lord Xie's mouth and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the Jinwuwei Yamen, and this case is very important."

Meaning, the princess has to listen to the greeting when she arrives here.

Xun Juma frowned and said, "Xiangxiang, be obedient."

Even Lord Lin and Master Li came in person, and Xun Juma knew that this case was not trivial.

Most of the Xun family was arrested, could it be that the Xun family rebelled? He didn't think his grandfather and eldest brother would be so confused......

Fake Xunxiang looked at the people in the house, so she had to go out with Lilac.

Princess Dongyang said impatiently, "Lord Xie, if you have something to say, this palace doesn't want to spend it here."

Master Xie asked in a loud voice, "Are the people in the hall Lord Ding and Mrs. Ding?"

Ding Zhao bowed and said, "Your Excellency, yes."

"Did you live in the Qikou Hutong of the capital for a year eleven years ago?"

"Yes."

"Did Mrs. Tintin get pregnant and give birth to a daughter that year?"

Ding Zhao replied, "No."

Master Xie looked at Zhang, "You say

。」

Zhang said in a trembling voice, "No."

Master Xie's voice became stern, "If you are not pregnant and give birth to a daughter, where did your daughter, Lilac, come from? Bring it from the truth, and do not lie."

Ding Zhao glanced at Xun Yuma and Princess Dongyang, and said, "Lord Yu, it was picked up by the lower officials."

Princess Dongyang and Xun Juma both looked at him incredulously.

Ding Zhao continued, "Xia Guan remembers very clearly, it was August 20 of the 18th year of Qingguan, the day before the old Su died of illness, and the whole country mourned.

"At the beginning of the afternoon, Xia Guan bought a box of things, and when he was passing by Yinfeng Street on his way home, he suddenly encountered a startled horse, and in a hurry, the box in his hand was squeezed out, and after picking it up, he followed the flow of people.

"When Xia Guan returned home, he found that the box was not Xia Guan's, and there was actually a milk doll lying inside. The milk doll is very cute and fragrant...... The lower officials and the insiders like it very much......"

Thinking of that scene, a smile tugged at the corner of Ding Zhao's mouth, and tears welled up in his eyes.

He also talked about how he went to Yinfeng Street again, and they didn't dare to return the child. Later, some officials came to the door to look for the children, and there were also people at the dock looking for the children, how did they escape and take the children back to Jiaodong to raise them.

Later, when I recognized the Dong family, I learned that the ancestors of the Dong family had their own fragrance, and guessed that Lilac was Dong Rulan's granddaughter and her cousin's niece. Because Shen Yu's stepmother was vicious, they were even more reluctant to return the child.

When they arrived in the capital, they learned that Shen Yu's daughter had died when she was three months old, and they speculated that the child might be an illegitimate daughter born to Xun Yuma's outer room. I'm afraid that Lilac will be angry when she goes back, and she doesn't want to return it.

It wasn't until last month that Ding Zhao was recognized by Zhang Laosan again, and he confessed the matter to Dong Yihe for fear of it. Mrs. Dong said that Xun Qiansong had died of a daughter eleven years ago, and the date of death was the day she picked up the child, and several people began to have doubts.

They secretly investigated, and they already had some eyebrows, but the evidence was not enough...... Unexpectedly, Jin Wuwei found out first.

Ding Zhao took the package from Zhang's hand and untied it, "This is the clothes and hat she was wearing when Xia Guan picked up Xiangxiang, and the box didn't dare to keep it, so it was burned at that time. There are also seven small Nanzhu the size of mung beans, alas, a few years ago, there was a sudden change in Xiaguan's house and they were sold."

The clerk took the package and showed it to several officials, and then put it on the table.

Master Xie said again, "Xuan Zhang and the third couple."

Zhang Laosan and his daughter-in-law walked in tremblingly.

Master Xie pointed at Ding Zhao and his wife, "You know them."

Zhang Laosan glanced at Ding Zhao and Zhang, and said tremblingly, "I know, his name is Ding Zhao, she is his daughter-in-law, and we have been neighbors for a year."

Ding Zhao happily admitted, "Yes, what Brother Zhang said is true."

After the two men proved that Zhang was not pregnant and gave birth to a daughter that year, they stepped back.

Qiu Wangzhi also reported, "Xia Guan took the work to see Xun Feng's tomb, and the baby buried in it was actually three months old, which did not match the one-month-old dead baby."

Princess Dongyang said with a heavy face, "The Ding family picked up a girl with incense, and they want to lie to the master of the horse? This palace believes that the horse master will not be in the outer room, let alone have an illegitimate daughter. As for the dead baby in the grave, who is the one month and three months, and what does it have to do with the main palace?"
