"I think I should be able to convict you!"

Not long after Guo Huai said his words about who could convict him, a person walked in from the side door of the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion. This person was invited by Liu Qianqian and came to Kaifeng Mansion incognito to hear the trial in secret.

Emperor Renzong

He originally didn't plan to show up at this time. After all, he really didn't know what to do with Guo Huai after he showed up. There was also Chen Lin, the chamberlain around the late emperor who had carried the secrets for their royal family for more than 20 years.

How was he going to settle his future life? But when he heard Guo Huai arrogantly shouting that no one could condemn him, the young man's unique bloody spirit prompted him to open the door and stand up.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Your Majesty, please save the old slave. The old slave has been wronged, wronged..."

"Shut up. I heard everything you did just now clearly from outside. Why do you have any grievances to complain about?"

With the appearance of the emperor, things seem to have changed. The original very difficult evidence collection problem no longer exists. All that is left is to see how the emperor judges the guilt.

"Come here, first take the evil slave Guo Huai to Kaifeng Mansion's death cell and keep him under strict supervision. No one is allowed to visit without my permission!"

When Emperor Renzong saw that everyone in the lobby was looking at him eagerly, he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart. There were so many people in Kaifeng Mansion, plus the Five Rats from Xingkong Island, as well as his imperial sister and consort, they were pretending again.

God has been pretending to be a ghost for most of the night. If he doesn't give an effective solution, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the public!

After dealing with Guo Huai, Emperor Renzong waved his hand and issued another edict without waiting for Liu Qianqian to speak.

"The palace maid Kou Zhu, who died protecting her lord, was granted the title of a loyal female official and was buried with honors as a princess; the former steward Chen Lin, who escaped from death, was reinstated as the palace steward and was granted the title of Hereditary Loyalty Marquis!"

Emperor Renzong said a lot in general, even the Five Rats of Xiankong Island, he personally named them the Five Rats as righteous men, but he didn't mention a word about Concubine Li Chen and the Queen Mother in the palace.

Bao Zheng always listened to all the rewards from Emperor Renzong with a frown. He originally thought that the first thing the emperor would do after dealing with Guo Huai would be to issue an order to arrest the Queen Mother and bring her to justice. Since he had heard Guo Huai's confession

, then you should also understand that everything Guo Huai did was all instigated by the Queen Mother. The most important thing at the moment is to arrest the person behind the scenes and bring him to justice!

There is also Concubine Li Chen who has been treating her illness and recuperating in the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion. As a son, he should definitely go and see her!

"emperor……"

As soon as Bao Zheng said "The Emperor", he was interrupted by Liu Qianqian's next words. She didn't want Bao Qingtian, who she had finally supported, to offend the Emperor in the blink of an eye, and then let all her hard work go.

Down the drain

"Master Bao, it's getting late. We should go back to the palace. If we don't go back, the emperor will miss tomorrow's morning court."

Bao Zheng looked at Liu Qianqian very puzzled. Why did Princess Wuyou, who had been pursuing the truth and results from beginning to end, stop at this critical moment?

Bao Zheng, who was completely puzzled, could only kowtow to Emperor Renzong and the princess's consort as they left their seats and walked out!

After seeing off the emperor and the princess, Bao Zheng sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the four characters "Justice and Integrity" hanging high above the lobby. He wanted to cry without tears. This so-called "Justice and Integrity" turned out to be

It's just for ordinary people. How can it be fair if the Queen Mother who committed such a case, as an emperor and a first-class princess, didn't mention it or ask questions? Only at this moment did Bao Zheng understand that if he wanted to be a

How difficult it is for an upright official to stand up for ordinary people, and the thought of gaining some authority at all costs took root in his heart.

"Master Bao, the Emperor was raised by the Queen Mother in the palace since he was a child. Even if he is not his biological mother, he still has many feelings. Although Concubine Li Chen is her biological mother, she has not been around since she was born. How can she have the feelings between mother and child?

What? This matter should be handled by the Emperor himself! After all, it is a royal family matter! We are just responsible for finding out the truth!"

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng, who was sitting on the ground with a dejected look on his face, and couldn't bear to go over to enlighten him. After all, Master Bao was the financial sponsor of his life! If he had any shortcomings, Gongsun Ce would be in trouble all his life.

Don't even think about eating from the Yamen. This is what his master told him when he went down the mountain, and told him to do his best to help Bao Zheng, because the fate of the two of them is on the same line.

"Mr. Gongsun, what do you think we can do to make the law treat everyone equally? No matter whether they are royal family members or ordinary people, everyone is equal before the law. Whoever bears the responsibility will bear the responsibility."

Bao Zheng quietly asked Gongsun Ce who was squatting next to him. His intuition told him that maybe this Mr. Gongsun could find a way for him, and only this Mr. Gongsun would be his most effective assistant.

"Sir, Gongsun Ce actually doesn't have any good methods, but Gongsun Ce knows that there is a dragon-headed crutch in Tianbo Yang's mansion that can beat down the emperor at the top and slander the ministers at the bottom, and there is also a piece of king's life gold in the palace of the Eight Sages that has the same effect.

Mace, if Mr. Bao also has such things in his hands, maybe his wish to enforce the law fairly can be fulfilled, or maybe Princess Wuyou in the Wuyou Palace has some ideas."

Gongsun Ce said these words not without meaning, nor without any basis, because his master once said that Bao Zheng would be his lifelong financial sponsor, and the first princess of the dynasty would be the first person in his official career.

With help, that is to say, he is the noble person in his life. Therefore, when Liu Qianqian sent him to prison last time, he was puzzled as to why the noble person in his life predicted by his master was actually the noble person in his life.

He wants to destroy his entire Gongsun family!

Later he figured it out that Princess Wuyou didn't really want to destroy his whole family, she was just helping him cultivate his moral character, so after he got out of the prison, he looked indifferent to everything.

"Mr. Gongsun means..."

"Sir, Gongsun Ce didn't say anything. Your Excellency realized everything by yourself, so if you don't want similar things to happen again, you need to enter the palace after dawn."

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce, who looked serious, stretched out his hand and patted him hard on the shoulder, and then nodded to him heavily before standing up from the ground. When he turned around, he found that he had previously

Of those people in the lobby, only Zhan Zhao is still standing in front of the door, leaning on a sword.

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce beside him, and then at Zhan Zhao at the door, and couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile. Wen Ru Gongsun Ce and Wu Ruzhan were guarding him. Bao Zheng would have enough of these two people in his life.
