Xia Renzong was over seventy years old, and his spirit was very strong, seeing that more and more officials were joining the dispute, and finally even the officials of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province also participated in the dispute, and gradually formed a trend of party struggle, he couldn't help frowning, waved his hand, and a wave of imperial coercion waved out casually, and the palace was suddenly quiet.

"Zhong Aiqing, since there are many controversies in this case, the relevant criminals will be detained to the prison of the Criminal Department first, and the trial will be presided over by Lord Tian on a later day, and Lord Xu will be supervised by the court. ”

As soon as Renzong's Chrysostom opened, the ministers retreated to their thrones, and the tense atmosphere in the palace calmed down for a while.

"Your Majesty. Taishi Tang Gaoyi came out and said: "The king of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of years old today from the north of the desert to return to the court, and the old minister is willing to lead hundreds of officials to meet outside the city." ”

"Nope. Renzong stood up and said with a smile: "I want to go out of the city to greet me in person, and I haven't seen the emperor's brother for three years." ”

Outside the Deyang Gate of Luodu, the ancient road extends under the sky in the distance, reckless and vicissitudes, and the weeping willows on the side of the road are still clinging, floating with the tranquility and tranquility of the Great Xia Dynasty.

A banner appeared from the edge of the sky, and tens of thousands of scarlet-clad and armored cavalry galloped in!

The army galloped to the Deyang City Gate not far away, and a huge white tiger jumped out of the middle of the banner strangely, the beast flame in the tiger's eyes flashed, and a middle-aged man in white rode on his back.

"Xiaguan see the Ming King Chitose, Chitose, Chitose!" Tang Taishi and other officials saw the strange white tiger, and they shouted in unison with a calm face.

The middle-aged man didn't see how to move, the white shadow flashed, and he appeared in front of Baiguan, his sword eyebrows were sharp, he smiled slightly, and raised his hand to salute. "This king has seen the Taishi, and I have seen all the adults, let's go to the Taihe Palace together to see Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that King Daming had returned to the court today. Tang Taishi stretched out his hand and pointed at the head of the city, and said with a smile: "Chitose and look up, who is standing at the head of the city?"

King Daming followed Tang Taishi's finger and looked, only to see Xia Renzong standing at the head of the city and waving to himself, looking at the figure from a distance, he couldn't help but feel hot for no reason, and hurriedly waved his hand, and rushed towards the city, and the hundred officials then walked slowly.

Xia Renzong just turned down the city wall, his figure flashed, King Daming had appeared in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed it, and the brothers looked each other up and down.

"The weather is hot and dry, why should the imperial brother go out of the palace to greet him in person. King Daming stretched out his hand to take Renzong's hand and asked with a smile: "Is the queen mother well?"

"If it weren't for the ninetieth birthday of the queen mother, would the emperor's brother still refuse to return to the court?" The sun slanted down from the city, and Renzong had a warm smile on his face, but the smile contained a strange feeling.

"Brother Huang doesn't know, in recent years, the foreign races outside the territory have been vigorously fighting and sweeping away more than a dozen small countries and tribes outside the territory one by one, and they have gathered millions of troops outside the borders of Great Xia, so it is better to guard against them. ”

"Brother Huang is talking about the Yaluo Kingdom?" Renzong frowned, and asked softly: "That legendary group of half-demon and half-human alien races?"

"Well, there have been several brilliant people in the country of Tooth Fire Luo in the past ten years, and the strange thing is that this time they are uncharacteristically not killing each other and fighting for power, but instead forming a force, and now they seem to be making bold moves outside the border. ”

"Questions?"

"With Jinmen Xiong locked up, my Great Xia Kingdom is worry-free!" King Daming's eyes lit up, and the sun, moon and stars flickered faintly in his eyes, and he laughed loudly: "In Xingtian Sword, the imperial brother is worry-free!"

"Haha, the royal brother has been a worry-free king for decades thanks to you. Renzong smiled and asked, "Didn't the soldiers return to the court together?" ”

"I'm back, and I'll let him experience it in China in the future. King Daming smiled slightly, beckoned, and swept out a golden phantom from the army, flashing in front of the two.

"Nephew Wu Zhibing knocked to see His Majesty the Imperial Uncle. A young man in golden armor half-knelt and saluted: "Long live, long live, long live!"

"I haven't seen him for a few years, the emperor's nephew is becoming more and more handsome and handsome, and the right person moves quickly, and the emperor's younger brother martial arts should be the follow-up. Renzong hurriedly pulled Wu Zhibing up, looked up and down with loving eyes, and said, "Go to Chengming Palace to meet the emperor's grandmother first, and then go back to the Ming Palace's palace to see your mother." ”

"No, my nephew obeys. Wu Zhibing stood tall and bowed again.

"Let's go, let's go, don't be polite to your own family. Renzong pulled King Daming with one hand and Wu Zhibing with the other, and walked into Deyang Gate together.

The sun sets, and the clouds roll up.

A few months later, the autumn breeze was already wandering everywhere in the palace, streets, and willow branches of Luodu, and Su Ziqing and Zheng were escorted from Jiangshang County to the prison of the Luodu Criminal Department.

The Criminal Department sent someone to send a letter to Xu Yazhi, and three days later, the Criminal Department will be tried in the lobby.

When Xu Yazhi saw Su Ziqing for the first time, he felt a slight pain in his heart for no reason, Su Ziqing knelt alone in the lobby of the criminal department, his eyes were clear, and his body under his prison clothes was slim, like a lonely and helpless kingfisher, with a pitiful and slightly unyielding expression.

"Su Ziqing, do you know where this is?" Tian Wenlin "snapped" and slapped the shocked wood, his face was full of flesh, and he shouted: "Later, when the official asks about the case, you have to truthfully invite it word by word, if there is nonsense, you will be sentenced to death in the court!"

Su Ziqing was stunned and didn't wait for a response.

Xu Yazhi snatched the startling wood from the side, and slapped the "bang" with one arm, the sound was so loud that the dust on the beams of the house was shook, and the frightened Tian Wenlin and the hall servant trembled.

"Su Ziqingxiu should be afraid, your case has reached the Heavenly Court! Now that His Majesty has issued a special edict for the trial of the three halls, this Lord Shang Shutian of the Criminal Department is responsible for asking you about the case, you must be cautious in replying, you must not talk too much, have you ever heard it clearly?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Su Ziqing, worried that she wouldn't understand, and said warmly: "Su Ziqing, don't be afraid, your case has been tried by the three halls of today's edict, you just have to tell the truth, if someone wants to bully you, this official will administer justice for you, do you understand?"

"The folk girl heard clearly, and the lord asked. Su Ziqing was stunned for a moment, and felt that the red-robed official in the hall seemed to be deliberately defending herself, but for some reason, she couldn't help but secretly glance at Xu Ya.

"This officer asks you. Tian Wenlin grabbed the shocking wood and was about to shoot it, but suddenly saw that Xu Yazhi had already taken the first step to pick up the shocking wood, and was about to shoot, so he had to put the shocking wood down and stretch out his fingers to knock on the big case.

"Su Ziqing, you once admitted in your confession that you killed Zheng Yuan with your own hands, but is there such a thing?"

"It is true. Su Ziqing replied.

"Did the county commander of Egami Zheng use torture against you during the trial? ”

"The county ordered the adults to be punished, the people were killed by the people's daughters, and the words were also signed by the people's daughters. ”

"Su Ziqing. Xu Yazhi reminded on the side: "The Jiangshang County Order sentenced you to murder your husband, which is a capital crime of disobedience in this dynasty! You can think about it before admitting your guilt, if there is a grievance in the middle, it is still too late to say it now." ”

Su Ziqing had clearly felt that Xu Yazhi did intend to defend himself, although he didn't know why the other party he didn't know wanted to help him, his heart was sour for a while and he almost wanted to cry, but as soon as he wanted to keep Su Ziang and Zheng safe, he had to harden his heart and answer:

"Zheng Yuanwai was indeed killed by the people's daughter's own hands, and the people's daughter was not confused. Su Ziqing paused slightly, and then said, "This adult doesn't have to ask more." ”

"Lord Xu is the Hou Gate, and I think that I should have never known a folk girl before, and I only quarreled with this official because I had a heart of law and fairness. Tian Wenlin laughed and said: "Now it seems that Su Ziqing's murder is true, there is no doubt about it, you and I will report to Your Majesty together to close the case!"
