After Li Chong left, Second Lady Xue hurriedly asked the little maid to go to Suping Wangfu to find Xue Hesong. But the little girl went, but there was no news for a long time, and Mrs. Xue became more and more anxious and panicked.

"No, we can't let them find Li Xiang's body!"

Thinking of this, Second Lady Xue hurriedly called the housekeeper and asked him to immediately take the two courtyards to the Temple of Literature.

"You must dare to get Li Xiang's bones up before those officials find them, clean them up carefully, and don't leave any evidence."

The butler hesitated, after all, it was too big.

"Madam, let's wait a little longer for the second master."

"When he comes back, I'm afraid it's too late."

"......"

"Don't forget that you led someone to beat that Li Xiang to death and dumped his body in a dry well, if the government finds it, your trouble will come."

As soon as he heard this, the housekeeper was anxious, "It's obviously an order from you and the second master, and the little one just obeys." ”

"It's you who did it, and the second master and I don't know anything!" Second Lady Xue snorted coldly.

The housekeeper is so angry, these two people are vicious, and once the incident happens, they will definitely put all the blame on him. At the moment, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly took the two nursing homes to Xicheng.

In the hidden place at the corner in front of the Confucian Temple, Li Chong hid there with a few officials.

"Boss, will the people from the Yangguo Mansion really come over and transfer the corpse?" An official asked.

Li Chong paused, "You can only gamble." ”

"Xu Fuyin asked you to investigate this case, but she sent the Queen Mother away, but she didn't let you really find Li Xiang's body." The other official said with some concern.

"Don't worry, if something happens, I'll take care of it."

"We are really afraid that our jobs will not be guaranteed, and we are also afraid that you will be targeted by Xu Fuyin."

"I've become a head catcher, what am I afraid of? It's just that this Li family's case, if it is not clarified for a day, I will not be able to feel at ease for a day. At that time, you also handled this case together, how pitiful the Li family was, how arrogant the Yangguo Mansion was, and we knew that the murderer was from the Yangguo Mansion, but we couldn't help it, and we had to be demoted and fined. ”

Several other officials sighed, "Indeed, after so many years of official errands, it is the first time that I am so bad." ”

"And this case was asked by the Queen Mother for us to investigate, who is this Queen Mother, but the former Princess of Zhenbei, she will definitely not protect the Yangguo Mansion."

Several officials almost nodded, "Let's see tonight." ”

After appeasing a few officials, Li Chong took a deep breath, in fact, he was very flustered. First, I am not sure whether the Yangguo Mansion will come to transfer the body, and secondly, I am afraid that Liu Yunxiang's current ability will not be able to bring down the Yangguo Mansion.

Then he, Xu Yuancheng will definitely not be able to spare him.

After a while, three figures appeared stealthily, looked around, and then ran towards the dry well.

"Boss."

Li hurriedly shushed at the officials beside him, "Wait a little longer, wait for them to fish out the bones." ”

The housekeeper here took two guards to confirm that there was no one around, so he lit a torch and let one of the guards take it down the well.

The nurse was a little reluctant, and the housekeeper scolded him a few words, so he had to go down.

Because of the illumination of this torch, Li Chong also recognized that this person was the butler of the Yangguo Mansion. His heart suddenly rose to his throat, and when they fished out the bones, Li Zhong gave an order and rushed out with a few officials.

At the next day's court meeting, Liu Yunxiang sat in the seat of the queen mother, and she was slightly relieved to see Gao Wenchang, the secretary of the criminal department, coming. Looking at Lu Chang'an again, he was at the head of the hundred officials, listening to the reports of the courtiers, and was silent about small things, and he would speak on major matters, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he basically did what he wanted.

Yan'er is still young and does not participate in court politics, but she, as the queen mother, listens to politics, but she is also like an ornament.

After discussing several political matters, Gao Wenchang took a step forward and reported directly to Liu Yunxiang: "Queen Mother, please try a case above the court today." ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers talked about it.

"The trial is in the criminal department, Dali Temple, or the public court of Jingzhao Mansion, and the court is not a place to try cases."

"Exactly, Master Gao is confused."

In everyone's discussion, Gao Wenchang continued: "This case involves a certain important minister in the DPRK, even if it is my criminal department, I am afraid that it will not be able to be tried." ”

"Gao Shangshu, don't be alarmist, what kind of case, your criminal department can't try it, it's obviously deliberately delaying everyone's time." Xue Hesong was a little anxious, said this, and looked at Lu Changan again, "Lord Wang, what do you say?" ”

As he spoke, he also glanced at Lu Changan.

Lu Changan squinted his eyes, knowing that it was Xue Hesong's evil deeds that were exposed. If he wanted to protect him, he couldn't agree.

"The Queen Mother's ......"

"King Suping." Liu Yunxiang interrupted Lu Changan and smiled, "This palace knows that you have a lot of opportunities and time is precious, if you go down to the court first, the ministers will be the same, but this palace has nothing to do, but I want to hear about this case." ”

Lu Changan didn't know what to say, and Gao Wenchang said: "Other adults can take the first step, but Lord Xue has to stay." ”

Xue Hesong frowned, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It means that we need Lord Xue to cooperate in the trial."

"The official is sitting upright, and the tall man is going to slander the official!"

"In that case, what is Lord Xue afraid of?"

"This official is not afraid!"

"That's good."

Gao Wenchang looked at Liu Yunxiang again, "The minister wants to invite a few witnesses to the court." ”

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "Right now, this court is the court of the tall people, you come to preside over the trial, and we will observe." ”

"Empress Dowager Xie."

While speaking, Gao Wenchang stood in the court hall and gave an order to the entourage outside. After waiting for a while, Li Chong took the lead and came in, first Li Xiang's bones, then Mrs. Li and the lady of the Li family, and then the steward of the Yangguo Mansion and the two nursing homes.

"Master Gao, you brought a skeleton to the court, and you are not afraid of colliding with two nobles!" Xue Hesong gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Yunxiang said: "This palace has not done anything wrong, and I am not afraid of collisions." ”

Qin Yan also said: "I'm not afraid!" ”

Xue Hesong had nothing to say now, so he could only ask Lu Changan for help with his eyes. Lu Changan had a calm face, Xue Hesong's stupidity had made things develop to this point, and he couldn't protect him anymore.

As soon as Mrs. Li entered the hall, she knelt on the ground, "The Yangguo Mansion bullied people, killed my son and grandson, drove my daughter-in-law crazy, and begged the emperor and the queen mother to be the masters of my Li family!" ”

"This mother-in-law is talking nonsense, I, I don't know their family at all!" Xue and Songyu said.

At this time, the lady of the Li family recognized Xue Hesong, and suddenly stepped forward like crazy, so Xue Hesong might as well be thrown into her arms by her, but before she could react, she was bitten on the neck.

"Ahh Pull away this madman! ”

Li Chong hurriedly took the official messenger forward to pull the lady of the Li family, and the lady of the Li family was panting heavily, her eyes were red, and she glared at Xue Hesong fiercely.

Finally pulling her back, she saw the skeleton again, and it fell to the ground, and she began to cry.

The cry resounded through the court, and those who heard it couldn't help but be moved.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, "Mrs. Li, the lady of the Li family, if you have any grievances, just say it in court." ”
