"These things, I will investigate them when I go back to the house later!" "Master Xu said, "We must find out the merits and return your father and son to their innocence!"

He did not tell the father and son about the emperor's decision to "cut off the decision", but only comforted them to wait patiently for time, and they would definitely return their innocence. Before leaving, he gave another account to the prison officer, and beat the cell boss who had lost his conscience by fifty and dismissed him to return to his hometown, and in addition, he sent a responsible cell boss to guard him.

When he returned to the Taishifu, he immediately summoned the relevant officials in charge of the case and worked with them to retry the case, but the sergeants reported that they could not find the plaintiff, Alai. Seeing this, Li Shilang and Li Chunsheng were also extremely down-to-earth, no matter how the Taishi investigated and interrogated, he was sure that it was Wu Shuang and She Gang who stole 500,000 taels of gold and silver from the treasury.

At the same time, there is no record of who sent people to the Ministry of Officials to investigate the Taiyuan City Lord Huyan Wujiang and who recommended him to serve in the city; it only gave a general introduction to a certain year and month, and Huyan Wujiang was appointed as the city lord of Taiyuan City. All these hazy things made Xu Taishi feel more and more that there must be a major hidden secret, and the father and son of Wang Zhi, the governor of Henan, must have been framed.

According to this, Xu Taishi calmly paid attention to the fact that tomorrow morning, he must clarify the suspiciousness of this matter to the emperor in person. But at this moment, the doorman informed the Nine Princes that Cao Kun was visiting.

When Mrs. Xu heard this, he didn't care. He thought in his heart, you Cao Kungui is the prince, after all, you are a person with no real power, and I, as the imperial master, are currently trying a public case in the public court, so there is no need to deal with you! Therefore, I said to the doorman:

"Invite him, worship tea in the lobby, and come when I finish my official business!"

The doorman didn't go for a long time, and ran back again, and was about to report to Master Xu, but he didn't want the ninth prince Cao Kun to break in by himself. The officials were all taken aback when they saw that the Nine Princes were menacing, and they broke in with a few sergeants wearing armor and swords hanging from their waists!

Master Xu was also taken aback at the time, but he secretly put it in his heart, but on the surface he was enthusiastic, and rushed to the door to bow to him and said:

"The Nine Princes have come from afar, and Xu Liang is not welcome!"

"Hmph!" I didn't expect the Nine Princes Cao Kunli not to reply, and said with a sneer, "A mere Nine Princes is nothing in the eyes of your master!

When the Taishi heard this, he laughed and said:

"The Ninth Prince is really good at laughing, you are pitying and despicable!"

"Hmph!" Cao Kun still showed a cold look on his face, and said, "The purpose of my coming is very clear, just now the emperor of the Xuanzheng Palace angrily criticized the 'beheading decision', I specially came to see how the Taishi executed!"

When Taishi Xu heard him say this, he choked his seven inches, after all, "beheading and deciding" is a kind of severe criminal law that requires immediate disposal; unless, a new case is discovered in time and the emperor is raised in time, so that the emperor can retract his order and reopen the case.

However, at present, Mrs. Xu has not only not discovered the new facts of this case, but even the plaintiff directly related to this case has not yet been found. If this reaches the ears of the emperor, I am afraid that it will attract the wrath of thunder! Thinking of this, Xu Taishi is also trembling and uneasy. Therefore, he had no choice but to say:

"This matter is not too much for the prince, two hours ago, I have already instructed the Criminal Department to execute the court recidivist Wang Zhi and his son on time tomorrow!"

"Then I want to ask, what reason do you have to delay the 'beheading execution' approved by the emperor Chrysostom until tomorrow's execution, does Taishi Xu still want to exonerate the two Qin criminals?" Cao Kun glared at him and asked word by word.

"This point, it turns out that the prince also doesn't know something!" said Xu Taishi with a smile.

All the officials, seeing that Taishi Xu and the Nine Princes, who had always flaunted their martial arts, were all apprehensive and restless.

The Ninth Prince, Cao Kun, didn't expect that Master Xu would say this, so he had to ask rhetorically:

"Dare to ask the Grand Master, what is the reason why you dare to resist the decree?"

"Hmph!" Xu Taishi sneered again, "The words of the prince are really sharper than a knife! Then I'll tell you!

"That ten is not a crime?"

"One, no one in the plaintiff is allowed to be tortured!"

"What about the plaintiffs?"

"We're looking for it!"

"What's the second?"

"The cause of the case is unknown, and no punishment shall be used!"

"How is the cause of the case unclear?"

"Obviously, how can a case without a plaintiff be said to be true?"

"Hmph!" Before Taishi Xu could say the third reason, the Nine Princes knew that they couldn't talk about him, so they snorted coldly and threw their sleeves away.

The Ninth Prince, Cao Kun, was angry all the way, but Hu Wei cautiously came up with an idea with him and said:

"Lord Wang, did you find out just now that Xu Haoxiang had doubts about this matter?"

"This still needs to be said," Cao Kun said angrily, "What is the use of you telling me things that can be seen by fools!"

"Then we should take action!"

A word woke up the person in the dream, and the ninth prince Cao Kun immediately reined in his horse, looked at him in a good voice and asked:

"What should we do?"

"Do you want it, Lord Wang," Hu Wei said in a low voice, "If this matter is really found out by Xu Liang, won't our plans and goals be announced to the public......?"

Before he finished speaking, the Ninth Prince, Cao Kun, asked him anxiously:

"So what are we going to do, hurry up?"

"We should strike first!" Hu Wei said, making a murderous gesture.

When the Nine Princes heard this, they stroked their beards, nodded with satisfaction, and said:

"Well, that's good, so how do we strike first?"

"Then you have to visit the prince, how do you use people?"

"Alas, you're going around in circles with me again. The Nine Princes Cao Kun roared and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"One jailer is enough to deal with one prisoner!"

When Cao Kun, the ninth prince, heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a bright face:

"Good idea, just do it, I'm going to get the result tonight!"

As he spoke, he whipped his horse and galloped away.

For dinner, since his daughter left, the dining room of the master could no longer find the same happy atmosphere as usual, and the table was full of dishes, but everyone's appetite could not be raised. Therefore, the Taishi sighed and put down his chopsticks, and instructed the old servant Xiao Hua beside him:

"Steward Xiao, you put a jar of these wild ginseng soup and send it to Wang Zhi and his son in the prison; in addition, you go to the flower shop outside the city to see if Xuan'er's master and servant are still there, and send them some silver taels; if you see Wu Shuang, please ask him and Xuan'er to come back with them, I want to talk to them." ”

The old servant Xiao Hua left, carrying a soup can, a silver tael, a carriage, and set off with the will of his master. (To be continued.) )
