Chapter 431: Court trial

Her words aroused Xie Songhua's suspicion. She quickly opened the box and found a piece of paper inside.

This made her face look ugly immediately.

Cuiliu became nervous when she saw this, "Girl, what is this?"

Xie Songhua did not answer her, but what surprised her was that this time, there was no instruction on the piece of paper, but an address.

She looked at it and handed it to Cuiliu, "Look where this is?"

Cuiliu looked suspicious. Fortunately, in order to identify the girl's medicinal materials during this period, she had already recognized a lot of characters, and she could still recognize the characters above.

"Isn't this the Ertiao alley not far from our shop?"

Xie Songhua's heart was beating wildly, "Have you been there?"

Cuiliu said: "I haven't gone in before, I just passed by there before. Girl, what is going on? How could someone specially send me an address?"

Seeing the curiosity on her face, Xie Songhua quickly closed the box and said with a gentle smile: "No matter what he means, just go and take a look when you get back to Beijing."

After saying this, she began to feel a little anxious in her heart, wishing she could return to Beijing immediately.

However, she was in a hurry to go back, but she couldn't do it here.

News came from Beijing, and the news from here spread, and the whole court was shocked.

Not only did it cause an uproar in the court, but all parties also quarreled over this matter.

Due to the large number of criminals, there was no way to bring them all to the capital for trial. The governor of Shandong interrogated the accomplices in Dengzhou. After sorting out all the confessions, the main criminals were escorted back to Beijing, where the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly tried.

Brother and sister Xie Songhua and Xie Wenhua were controlled to stay where they were because they also participated in the bandit suppression operation that day.

Xie Wenhua was a little dissatisfied and said: "The matter happened in Shandong, and the fourth prince is still here. Why did the governor of Shandong come to try the case instead of the fourth prince?"

When the fourth prince who happened to come over heard what he said, he smiled and said: "Thank you so much, eldest son, for your trust. It is said that this matter is because someone in the court thinks that I am related to Uncle Wang and is not easy to come forward."

Xie Songhua was speechless. The fourth prince's relationship with everyone was very ordinary.

Xiao Yu is a prince who doesn't rely on anyone. How could he think of the biological relationship between the fourth prince and Xiao Yu?!

"But don't worry too much." The fourth prince sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the third brother have already expressed their opinions in front of the father. Although the matter is unclear at the moment, the father must also

I don’t really believe that Uncle Wang would do such a treasonous thing.”

These were all their guesses and expectations, but what was unexpected was the attitude of the people in Dengzhou Prefecture.

Because the Holy Emperor's decree required a public trial, it was regarded as a big event in the entire Dengzhou. Not only the people of Dengzhou's capital city, but also people from all over the country came to join in the fun.

When the so-called trial came to an end, these bandits came and went, all identifying Xiao Yu as having been in contact with the mountain.

There are also several people who have categorically proved that they have seen Xiao Yu interacting with people from Qishan Kingdom in the mountains.

Such a big battle could not be concealed even if it was wanted. For a time, the whole people of Shandong were filled with resentment. The people jointly signed a letter and requested that Xiao Yu be severely punished.

Some people have even begun to organize people's demonstrations, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger.

The governor of Shandong could not handle such a big matter. When Dang even wrote a memorial to report the matter, the court immediately sent someone over to promote the main criminal.

After so many days, Xie Songhua, Xie Wenhua and the fourth prince finally met Xiao Yu.

After only meeting him once, he was placed in a specially made carriage without even a window, and was cared for by a dedicated person along the way.

Even if they are on the same road, they are not allowed to meet each other, let alone send any news in private.

When I came here, I encountered several assassinations on the road. This time, Xiao Yu was controlled in the carriage, but the journey was uneventful.

Because I hurried back to Beijing, the time spent on the road was shorter when I arrived than when I left.

At this time, the events in Shandong had begun to spread rapidly to other places, causing quite a shock throughout the country, and the case became very urgent.

Even though Emperor Yufeng had always been reluctant to interfere with Xing Prison's affairs, he had to try the case himself this time.

Xie Songhua and Xie Wenhua were not able to go home immediately, but were taken directly into the palace.

When I got off the carriage from the palace gate, I saw the Crown Princess waiting there. When I saw her, she walked over quickly and said with red eyes: "Miss Xie, it's been a long journey all the way. It's really hard. It will take a while for them to arrive."

Come, why don't you let the two palace maids take care of you and freshen up first?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang Meng, who was accompanying Xie Songhua, stepped forward and stood in front of her. He said respectfully and resolutely: "I'm sorry, Crown Princess, this case involves a major case of treason and collaborating with the enemy. Miss Xie is an important witness.

No one is allowed to have private contact before the case is concluded."

He is the apprentice of Han Jian, the Superintendent of Ceremonies. How could the Crown Princess not know him?

Seeing this, he did not dare to show off his authority, so he could only smile and said: "What my father-in-law said is that I have not thought well. In this case, I will not delay my father-in-law's work."

After saying that, he smiled and said to Xie Songhua: "Don't worry, Miss Xie. This time, Miss Xie has made great achievements in treating the epidemic. My father will definitely reward you. When the matter is over, come to the East Palace for a cup of tea."

Xie Songhua thanked him and met several more people along the way.

Although it was not stated clearly, everyone could tell that they were here to get information.

The most explicit one was Mrs. Huayang, who asked directly: "Since you are his fiancée and went to Dengzhou with him this time, you should know best. Did Xiao Yu conspire with people from Qishan Kingdom?

"

Where is her identity? Although Xiao Huangmen felt that it was extremely inappropriate, he did not dare to say anything more. Only after Xie Songhua said clearly that he did not know, he reminded everyone that they were still waiting for Xie Songhua.

.

When he met Huimin later, Xie Songhua was completely unconcerned. He acted as if he hadn't seen her at all and followed him into the main hall.

Emperor Yufeng pinched his eyebrows with two fingers, looking very tired.

The fourth prince and Xie Wenhua are not here, and I don’t know where they went.

According to the rules, after Xie Songhua bowed to Emperor Yufeng perfectly, someone came over and led her to sit at a table in the side hall, "Miss Xie, regarding the collusion between the Dengzhou Bandits and the Qishan Kingdom, you

If you know how much you know, please write it down on this piece of paper! This is a serious matter, so I would like to ask Miss Xie to state it truthfully."

Xie Songhua nodded lightly, she had nothing to hide.

During those days in Dapan Town, she and Xiao Yu met every day, and all she had to do was write down Xiao Yu's performance in Dapan Town.

Naturally, it also included the fact that he summoned the people in Dapan Town who were loyal to the imperial court with the intention of overthrowing the rule of the bandits.

On this point, when she was comforting the people of Dapan Town that day, she clearly told the participating townspeople to write them down, and the written testimony was directly handed over to the fourth prince.

After she had written everything clearly and clearly, she came out and saw Xie Wenhua and the fourth prince standing together.

It seems that just like her, they went to write a testimony.

The three officials, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Minister of Dali Temple, were sitting together, with several thick piles of information in front of them.

The trial of King Chen was a huge challenge for the three of them.

Finally, each of the three wrote something and handed it to Emperor Yufeng.

For a moment, everyone's attention fell on Emperor Yufeng.
