Marquis Zhenning looked at the Minister of Punishment in shock.
He simply couldn't imagine that someone would dare to say these words to him!
Don’t you want to live anymore?
Meeting the gaze of Marquis Zhenning, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment straightened his back, "Xiaguan, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, is in charge of criminal cases up and down the court. It is necessary and responsible to handle the cases in a transparent manner in accordance with the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Marquis Zhenning
Are there any doubts? If not, the official will take the person away."
"How can you believe this man's words!" Marquis Zhenning said angrily, flicking his sleeves.
"It is precisely because there is doubt in the case that the suspect must be brought back for interrogation." The Minister of Punishment refused to give in.
Marquis Zhenning glared at him fiercely, and just as he was about to speak, courtiers from the other eight aristocratic families next to him said one after another: "Isn't Marquis Zhenning relying on his own power to really cover the sky with one hand?
If you can cover our sky, can you also cover the sky of others in the south?
If it was really your wife's evil deed and killed Princess Yunshu's maid, would Marquis Zhenning want to single-handedly trigger a war between the two countries?
When the war broke out, the Marquis of Zhenning personally went into battle to fight against the Southern cavalry?
Moreover, the Marquis must not forget that not only Princess Yunshu's maidservant died, but Princess Yunshu herself also fell into the water.
Does the Marquis think that he can get away with it by using deceit and tricking the common people?"
"What nonsense are you talking about! Mr. Hou is loyal to the court, and Mrs. Hou will not do such evil things. Don't slander others!" Even the courtiers of Zhenning Hou's party retorted.
The Minister of Punishment sneered: "Mrs. Hou can't do it? I heard that Mrs. Hou also steals people. Isn't she a servant in your house?"
Marquis Zhenning almost spit out a mouthful of green blood.
Chen Heng's words made his heart hurt even more, "You're talking nonsense!"
"Su Luo said it herself, and I didn't see anyone from your government come out to refute it at that time? Therefore, God is in charge of what you do. When someone else is in trouble, you should first see whether you are worthy or not.
I don’t need to tell you how many conflicts your house had with Princess Nanhuai?
It is said that your wife also ordered her steward to assassinate the murderous Princess of Nanhuai. Do you dare to swear to God that this is a lie?"
A word from the Minister of Punishment made Zhenning Hou wake up.
Xiao Yu is still holding Chen Wu in his hand!
Xiao Yu will definitely add insult to injury for what happened today. If he forcibly prevents the Ministry of Punishment from taking away his wife, will Xiao Yu take Chen Wudou out?
By then...
Marquis Zhenning glanced at Concubine Zhen subconsciously.
Concubine Zhen's eyes were red from crying. She had been kneeling in front of the Queen Mother. She did not look at Marquis Zhenning. Instead, when there was a sudden silence in the cabin, she said: "For the sake of Marquis Zhenning's mansion and His Highness, the Queen Mother,
Please forgive me, my concubine, this time."
The Queen Mother kicked Concubine Zhen away irritably, "Aijia forgives her, has she let Aijia go? Aijia is still on the boat, and she made such a big noise, has she thought about the consequences? Now she is fainting
You fell down and closed your eyes and you didn’t know what to do, so you had no time to hide?”
Xiao Yu watched them dog-eat-dog and winked at the Minister of Punishment.
The Minister of Punishment immediately said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, because of all the things on the ship, the envoys from the Southern Kingdom have left in anger. It doesn't matter if they leave the ship. If they leave Kyoto and return to the Southern Kingdom, that will be the real danger.
.
Before the matter has completely deteriorated, I must deal with it fairly, otherwise if the two countries really go to war, who will be criticized by thousands of people!"
The Queen Mother's heart was trembling.
Thousands of people criticize, thousands of people criticize!
Her?
Absolutely not!
Chen Heng said: "Why are you embarrassing the Queen Mother? Your Majesty should handle court affairs. The most important thing to do now is to return to the palace to face the Holy Spirit!"
The Minister of Punishment asked, "What about the suspect? I asked Master Shi, if this matter were replaced by someone else, wouldn't the suspect be arrested? Master Shi, please give me a word of truth. If this is the case, then the rules of our Ministry of Punishment will follow in the future."
Just change it.
The suspect will not be arrested! Do whatever you want!"
After the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, he stood there with an expression on his face and said nothing.
Xiao Yu looked at the other courtier.
The court official immediately said: "If the suspect is not arrested, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos? Everyone can commit crimes and everyone can break the law. There is no penalty for breaking the law anyway.
And the children of wealthy families can be even more unscrupulous.
Now because of the high price of medicines, people are dissatisfied. If we continue to condone the murderer, won't there be riots?
When someone revolts, wouldn't the reason be to overthrow the Zhenninghou Mansion? Or to overthrow the people who protected the Zhenninghou Mansion in this matter!
The Queen Mother thought twice.
If Mrs. Zhenninghou is really innocent, even if the Ministry of Punishment takes her away, she will be sent back unharmed.
But if Mrs. Zhenning is really guilty, should she be shielded in front of the envoys from the Southern Kingdom?"
Queen Mother Rang was so dizzy with the quarrel that she suffered another big grievance today, "Isn't it enough as long as the envoy from the Southern Kingdom cannot return to the Southern Kingdom? Who knows what happened!"
As soon as the Queen Mother said these words, the whole place fell into silence.
Xiao Yu raised his hand and clapped.
"What a good idea. It's like, if the eldest princess disobeys, I will put her under house arrest. If the Princess of Nanhuai disobeys, I will arrest her. If the envoys of the Southern Kingdom disobey, I will kill them. Right? It's amazing!"
Xiao Yu is the grandson of the Queen Mother.
Being ridiculed by Xiao Yu like this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but couldn't refute.
It has long been no secret that the emperor locked up the eldest princess in the cold palace.
Just as he was talking, the boat docked.
Just then a young chamberlain rushed in, "Your Majesty ordered that Mrs. Zhenninghou is suspected of murdering the princess of the Southern Kingdom and destroying the friendship between the two countries. She will be deprived of her title of first-class lady and will be detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to await her fate!"
As soon as the little chamberlain's voice fell, Zhenning Hou Tie said immediately with a livid face: "I want to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
The young chamberlain smiled and said: "Please, Mr. Marquis, your Majesty is also waiting for Mr. Marquis."
After saying that, the young chamberlain looked towards Xiao Yu and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has decreed that the prince and his concubine should enter the palace to discuss the matter of brewing wine together."
Xiao Yu spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Then I may be disobeying the king's decree. My princess has been captured by the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes in excitement, and Gudong fainted.
Xiao Yu didn't blink an eyelid, "I, the king, will follow you into the palace. As for the princess, she may be guilty, so it's not convenient."
The young chamberlain hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ordered that the princess must be invited into the palace. The prince was joking. The princess is smart and kind, how can she be a guilty person?"
He didn't even care about the Queen Mother fainting next to him.
Xiao Yu was unmoved, "That won't work. You don't have to be here with me. If you want to enter the palace, I will enter the palace. If you don't need me to enter the palace, I won't go. But the princess can't do it. I'm guilty of this."
You are not fit to enter the palace!"
After saying that, Xiao Yu lifted his feet and strode off the boat.
The Minister of Punishment immediately waved to the Yamen of the Punishment Department who had already stepped forward on the shore, "Take the person away!"
