It was just after noon, and the excitement of Dali Temple had just begun.
It hasn't been long since Xu Lanzhou took office. Recently, he has been sorting out the files of Dali Temple over the years to clear up old cases. Today's case is the first time he has received a serious case. Good guy, this is the first time he has received it.
The case is so difficult.
Sang Rou appeared in the trial hall of Dali Temple. This person looked very arrogant.
Listening on the sidelines were Luo Jibei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Su Yan and Jiang You, and Xu Silu from the Underworld Department. In addition, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess also came to the scene.
The prince still cares about Sang Rou, but he still can't get over it. He came here because he wanted to see what would happen. Jing Yu and Sang Rou grew up together and have a good relationship, and the prince knows it.
As a man, he could also see what Jing Yu had in mind for Sang Rou. However, precisely because he knew, he believed that Jing Yu would not hurt Sang Rou. But after this incident, the prince also had an idea in his mind.
He could marry Sang Rou, but it was better to draw a clear line between Sang Rou and Jing Yu. Today, he had to keep Sang Rou, but as for Jing Yu... he couldn't control it.
Xu Lanzhou patted the gavel and said, "Come, bring Jing Yu."
Soon, Jing Yu was brought to the scene.
Jing Yu didn't look at Sang Rou, and Sang Rou didn't look at Jing Yu. The two stood side by side, but they seemed to be strangers to each other.
There were skin wounds on Jing Yu's body, and his clothes were stained with blood. Some were dried, some were semi-dried, and some were still bright.
Xu Lanzhou frowned, turned to the Minister of Punishment and said, "Sir, how could you beat someone like this after arresting him for a day and a night?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice responded with a smile: "Sir, this is just a routine matter. After entering the Ministry of Justice, it is just a formality. You have to ask some questions, right?"
"Oh?" Xu Lanzhou asked with a smile, "Then I wonder what Master Shangshu can tell you? This punishment must be at least... four or five rounds. I think it will be a lot of gains, right?"
The Minister of Punishment's face stiffened.
What a weird question!
This guy was so hard-boned that he didn't even say a word.
Seeing this, Xu Lanzhou naturally knew that the Minister of Punishment was embarrassed, so he did not pursue the matter and asked further. He turned to Sang Rou and said: "Sang Rou, I want to ask you, has this person... done anything inappropriate to you?
"
"No." Sang Rou responded decisively.
Xu Lanzhou smiled and said: "That's strange, but someone saw him coming out of your room with disheveled clothes?"
Sang Rou glanced at Jing Yu then, and replied calmly, "You don't know, sir. A Yu and I grew up together. He has always been my subordinate and cooperates with me tacitly. I don't know anyone
I saw with my own eyes what it was like to be disheveled, but Ah Yu often took care of me and it was not unusual for him to come out of my room."
"That is to say... there are not many taboos between the two of you?" Xu Lanzhou asked.
"Yes." Sang Rou nodded and said.
The Crown Princess suddenly spoke with dissatisfaction: "Sang Rou, what you said is too much. In the past, no one said anything about you when you were close to that subordinate of yours. At most, they said you were informal and so on. However, you are now His Highness's future.
Concubine, how can you still be so careless about your reputation?"
Sang Rou disagreed: "The Crown Princess's control is too lenient. Sang Rou is the director of the underworld, and there is never any taboo in what she has to do. I live an upright life, what should I be afraid of?"
"Since you are not afraid, why don't you dare to test yourself?" The princess said angrily, turning to the prince and saying, "Your Highness, I brought two nuns over this morning, intending to test Sang Rou's lower body. I don't want to think about it, as long as I
After taking the test, everything will be revealed, but I never expected... Sangrou had something in her heart, she didn't dare to take the test, and she even went so far as to kill two palace attendants, it's really abominable!"
The prince's eyes paused, but he did not speak.
After hearing what the Crown Princess said, Sang Rou was even more disapproving: "The Crown Princess is so kind, why do you want to test my body? Even if I am the Crown Princess's concubine, I will be the future concubine. Now, I am still the Chief of the Underworld,
What qualifications do you, a palace concubine, have to provoke me?"
"You!" the princess was choked and speechless.
Jiang You spoke now and said, "By the way, Mr. Xu, didn't I provide you with evidence this morning?"
Xu Lanzhou nodded and said, "Miss Jiang, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Jiang You pursed her lips and said: "It's strange to say that I found an invitation in Sang Sizheng's room, and it was actually the invitation from the Crown Princess to Sang Sizheng! Why don't you ask Mr. Xu to invite out that invitation?
, let the Crown Princess identify it carefully!"
Xu Lanzhou responded: "What Miss Jiang said is true."
Xu Lanzhou nodded slightly, and someone brought out the invitation.
The invitation was placed on a tray, and the tray was carried towards the Crown Princess.
When the Crown Princess saw the tray, her expression changed again and again. When someone approached her, she quickly said: "Stop, stop!"
Jiang You blinked and said, "Princess, don't you need to take a closer look?"
The Crown Princess's beauty turned pale, but she still kept her composure and said, "What are you looking at? It's just an invitation, what's so strange about it? I just want to meet Sang Rou, but didn't Sang Rou refuse? Now she still has one
What are you doing with this invitation? Who do you want to harm?"
"What the Crown Princess said is strange. How can an invitation harm you?" Jiang You said, stood up and walked to the Crown Princess.
She reached out and took the tray from the Yamen servant's hand. Instead, she leaned forward slightly and handed the tray to the Crown Princess.
Jiang You smiled and asked, "Does the Crown Princess really not need to confirm?"
The Crown Princess' eyes were very subtle. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No need!"
Jiang You looked regretful, then turned to the Crown Prince and said: "Since the Crown Princess is not willing to confirm, then His Highness the Crown Prince will confirm it. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be impressed by the Crown Princess's handwriting, so please confirm it.
When I got it, I said we framed the Crown Princess for no reason."
Although the prince didn't know why, he still nodded when he heard Jiang You's words. After looking at the prince, he reached out to pick up the invitation on the tray.
"Your Highness!" The Crown Princess's face changed, and she quickly reached out to stop the Crown Prince from taking the invitation.
The prince was confused: "What are you doing?"
Just when the Crown Princess was about to explain, Jiang You suddenly slammed the tray, and the invitation hit the Crown Princess directly.
"ah!"
The Crown Princess screamed, stood up quickly, and couldn't wait to shake the invitation card on her body to the ground.
And her abnormal behavior made everyone else look at her.
