After Lin Xiuyan finished speaking, she folded her hands in front of her chest and said: "City Lord Zheng said that if the strength of the two sides is too different, the weaker one is right."
"City Lord Zheng also said that what the seriously injured person said cannot be used as evidence because the other person was unconscious."
"Father, please wait a moment. I will go to the city lord's palace first and beat him until he is seriously injured and cannot take care of himself."
After she finished speaking, she was about to leave. King Pingnan said with a dark face: "Come back!"
Lin Xiuyan turned to look at him and said, "As the Crown Princess of Pingnan Palace, I have a distinguished status."
"I was assassinated in the street. I caught the murderer and found out who was behind it. However, the city lord favored the murderer."
"If I can't teach the person involved a lesson in this kind of thing, I'm afraid that Prince Pingnan's palace will lose all face."
"I'm not sure if someone is sowing discord in front of my father, but the fact that you came to question me without asking the reason makes me think you are stupid."
King Pingnan: “!!!!!”
Was he being scolded by Lin Xiuyan?
Lin Xiuyan wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief and said, "My father is so partial to hearing and believing, aren't you afraid that one day he will become deaf or blind?"
King Pingnan slapped the table again and said angrily: "Bold!"
Lin Xiuyan saw that his hands were red and thought he was also funny.
Just as she was about to speak, Ye Junfei said from the side: "I think Xiuyan's words are very reasonable."
"Even if our father doesn't like us anymore, outside we are still the noble prince and concubine of Prince Pingnan."
"My father allows others to bully us, which is to throw the face of Pingnan Palace on the ground and let others trample on it."
King Pingnan: "..."
Ye Junfei looked at Prince Pingnan with a half-smile and said, "If my father thinks that the face of Prince Pingnan's palace is irrelevant, then consider us wrong."
Princess Pingnan said from the side: "Zheng Cheng has been in charge of cases for many years and is experienced and experienced. His judgment will not be wrong."
"You said the murderer was Zhou Shuyi, is there any misunderstanding?"
Lin Xiuyan said quietly: "I don't know whether City Lord Zheng is experienced or not, but I think he is mentally ill."
"The princess trusts City Master Zheng so much, why not help him pay the medical fee of one hundred thousand taels and ask the medical sage to take a look at his brain."
Princess Pingnan: "..."
She took a deep breath and said, "You kid's mouth is really too poisonous!"
Lin Xiuyan smiled: "It's not as vicious as your heart."
Princess Pingnan: "..."
Before they had a falling out, everyone could still pretend.
Now that she's fine, Lin Xiuyan can beat her to the sky with just her mouth!
She was so aggrieved that she burst into tears. She looked straight at Prince Pingnan and said, "Your Majesty, I can't even speak in front of the Crown Princess now!"
"No matter what, I am an elder!"
King Pingnan also felt aggrieved. He was Ye Junfei's biological father, and he was also criticized by Ye Junfei.
This couple has a bad temper and is as slippery as a loach. If you say one sentence, they can quarrel with each other ten times.
He looked at the two of them coldly and said, "I don't have to worry about anything else with you, but the money you robbed in the Zhou Mansion must be handed over!"
Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei looked at each other and knew that this was the real purpose of King Pingnan calling them here today.
Lin Xiuyan looked shocked and said: "Father, have you made a mistake again?"
"I didn't go to the Zhou Mansion to rob, I went to collect debts!"
"I have an IOU written by Zhou Lingshan in my hand, and Zhou Shuyi also recognizes it."
Princess Pingnan said solemnly: "Zhou Lingshan has been helping me with my business. It is impossible for him to owe the Lin Mansion so much money."
Lin Xiuyan took out an IOU and said, "It's impossible that I don't know, but Zhou Lingshan's handwriting cannot deceive anyone."
"If you don't believe it, Princess, you can take this note and check it carefully to see if it is Zhou Lingshan's handwriting."
After she finished speaking, she very generously placed an IOU on the table.
Princess Pingnan's expression changed slightly after she glanced at the IOU. After looking at it carefully, she still couldn't tell the difference between the words on it and those written by Zhou Lingshan himself.
Her face looked very ugly.
Lin Xiuyan smiled and said: "So this time I just went to the Zhou Mansion to collect debts. It was not a robbery."
"With such a big Pingnan Prince's Palace, wouldn't he still want to take care of the Lin Palace's silver?"
King Pingnan: "..."
Princess Pingnan: "..."
Neither of them knew about the IOU before, but now they became dumbfounded when they saw the IOU.
After Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei left, King Pingnan slapped Princess Pingnan: "It's all your fault!"
"I have almost lost all my masters today!"
After he finished speaking, he stormed off.
Princess Pingnan covered her face with her hands, her expression looking very ugly.
When the guards of the Zhou Mansion came to report the news, Princess Pingnan was very shocked. After the shock, she became extremely angry.
Because she didn't even know that Zhou Lingshan would owe Lin Mansion so much money!
And when Zhou Shuyi woke up today and asked her to make the decision for the Zhou Mansion, he didn't mention it at all.
Otherwise, how could she be laughed at by Lin Xiuyan like this today?
Princess Pingnan looked very ugly and reached out to press her eyebrows.
Since Zhou Lingshan's death, she began to check the Zhou Mansion's account books.
It's a pity that Zhou Lingshan is usually too cautious in doing things, and people around him don't know many things.
His death was too sudden, so many things did not go right for Princess Pingnan!
In her opinion, the five hundred thousand taels of silver that Lin Xiuyan took from the Zhou Mansion today were all her money!
Because her expenses were huge, she was usually very frugal. But now, all her money has been taken away by others.
At this moment, she just wanted to call Zhou Shuyi over and beat him up!
King Pingnan's mood was extremely complicated at this time, and he was also short of money.
He knows this series of problems in Liefeng State better than anyone else.
All the accounts presented to the emperor were false. In order to win over the nobles of Liefeng Province, he turned a blind eye to some things.
Therefore, in the past few years, Liefeng Prefecture has basically had no tax money to pay to the court, and every year it still uses various methods to get money from the court.
There are many places where King Pingnan needs money. The Zhou Mansion is not only Princess Pingnan's money bag, but also his money bag.
Now that Zhou Lingshan is dead, many accounts have become confused.
He had a premonition that the business empire Zhou Lingshan had built would soon fall apart and be cannibalized.
How to change this situation? King Pingnan had a headache.
After Ye Junfei and Lin Xiuyan returned to the courtyard, they first went to see Yan Jiushu.
Although his injuries were serious, with the medical saint around, his life was not in danger.
When they came over, the medical sage had just finished injecting Yan Jiushu, and he was already asleep.
The Medical Saint looked at Ye Junfei and said, "He took this stab for you. They have become so arrogant. You can no longer sit idly by and ignore them."
Ye Junfei nodded: "Don't worry, Fifth Uncle, I already have a counterattack plan, just wait a few days."
