Chapter 226 The Dust Settles
After Shangguanyuan went back, she immediately found a suitable opportunity to bring Shangguanjing's words to her. As a reliable granddaughter-in-law who "cared about" the Su family, of course she should not hide such news from her elders.

She even carefully told the news to her mother-in-law alone, and did not mention it in front of many people in the family.

With such a "considerate and sensible" daughter-in-law, Second Grandma Su is of course very satisfied.She didn't dare to delay, and immediately took Shangguan Yuan to find Mrs. Su, and passed the news about the Su family to Mrs. Su's ears.

"Really?" Mrs. Su stared at her granddaughter-in-law in shock: "She said it herself? Why didn't she mention it to you before?"

"Grandmother forgives me, it's my granddaughter-in-law who was negligent before." Shangguanyuan hurriedly replied: "When my granddaughter-in-law went back to her mother's house today, she mentioned her aunt when chatting with my younger sister, but my younger sister seemed to evade her words, so my granddaughter-in-law asked After several times, she quietly told her daughter-in-law to avoid people. At this time, my mother's family didn't know about it, and my little sister kept it in her heart, and she didn't dare to mention it in front of anyone."

"Mother," Second Grandma Su hurriedly spoke for her daughter-in-law: "How dare my niece and daughter-in-law talk about such things casually! Don't they have to hide it all the time! It's also thanks to my daughter-in-law's carefulness that I asked about it. "

"Hmm!" Mrs. Su adjusted her expression immediately, and smiled slightly at Shangguan Yuan: "Daughter-in-law, grandma doesn't blame you. This is really... Sigh!"

"Granddaughter-in-law knows that grandma must be very sad to hear such news." Shangguan Yuan replied, "But...but such a big matter, grandson-in-law really dare not hide it on her own."

"You did the right thing." Mrs. Su nodded: "Alright, you've been tired all day, go back and rest first, I'll have a few words with your mother."

Shangguanyuan didn't want to stay for a long time at all, so when the words came, he naturally left happily, rubbing oil on the soles of his feet, and let the Su family discuss it by themselves.
That night, Mrs. Su took her second daughter-in-law directly to the study in the front yard. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't return to the back house until late at night. After they left, the lights in Su Ping's study stayed on until dawn.

The next few days were calm, and the detainees in the Huaiyang Prince's Mansion case were still in court in an orderly manner.

But, the main culprits were actually put to death on the autumn hunting road in the west of Beijing, and the rest of the scribes and female relatives couldn't tell any important news.

Because her husband and son were both dead, Concubine Xu had nothing to love in her life. She went on hunger strike every day in Shidian Prison, and had to be force-fed by the guards every day to persist until the day of her trial.

Concubine Lin, on the other hand, has been actively complaining about grievances. She also has an underage son, so no matter what, she will not give up hope easily.When the prisoner was imprisoned, all the hairpins, rings and jewelry were stripped off his body, but Concubine Lin thought of a way to hide two pearls. After arriving at Shidian Prison, she bribed the jailer, hoping to send a message to her natal family.

It's a pity that these two pearls were sent out, but the news fell into the sea, and there was no reply for a long time.

When Shangguan Jing asked Shangguan Yuan to go to the Su Mansion to reveal the news, the people in the Huaiyang Palace had only passed half of the interrogation, but in the days that followed, the speed accelerated a lot. Green, and did not find any valuable confessions.

However, just as Shangguanjing had expected, there were actually quite a few people who backbited Wu Dinghou. No matter whether these people really knew something or were out of revenge, Wu Dinghou was one of the most frequently mentioned names in court trials.

It's just a pity that the Sanju Judiciary can't catch people just based on their confessions. These people bite them, but none of them can produce actual evidence.

But this also made Marquis Wu Ding a little upset. The most useful Sun Shude died inexplicably, ruining his big game of chess.Fortunately, he has always been cautious, swept the tail cleanly, and did not bet all his treasures on Sun Shude, otherwise he would have lost his ten mouths!
Shangguan Jing didn't know whether the accelerated speed of court proceedings was due to any role played by the Su family. She only knew that in the last few days, the atmosphere in the court was very tense, and everyone seemed to be in danger.Then the next day, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice "fell ill", and it was said that he had been sick from the trial overnight.

After getting the news, the doctor Yushi also "fell ill" quickly, and there was only one minister of Dali Temple who was the slowest to respond, holding a stack of confessions, and there was nowhere to throw the hot potato.The two shopkeepers who turned away their hands ran to lie down and pretended to be dead. How do you write the memorial for the conclusion of the trial?
Counting with your fingers, if this is really according to the law of the Great Zhou, the father and sons over 16 years old will be strangled; wives and concubines and sons under the age of 15, as well as mothers, daughters, sons' wives and concubines, grandsons, grandfathers, brothers and sisters are all Entering an official as a maidservant; all the trilogy, slaves, property, and fields in the family are also out of office; uncles, uncles, and nephews, regardless of whether they live together or not, all travel three thousand miles.If this is really the case, even the empress dowager and the emperor are involved, and the king of Huaiyang has a large group of concubines and concubines with noble backgrounds, including the in-laws... half of the court can be dismissed and exiled together.

Fortunately, at this time, the Hanlin scholar Chengzhi led several uninvolved officials to the memorial, pointing out that since King Huaiyang and his sons over 15 years old were killed in the battle in the west of Beijing, the princess Xiao Miaoyu and his wife had committed suicide in fear of crime. Judging from the confessions submitted by the Sanfa Division, the part of the ministers and counselors who stayed in Beijing did not give anything decent. Therefore, it is suggested that the emperor should only exile the family members of King Huaiyang, and not expand the scope of interrogation, so as not to get involved. Guang, wronged loyal ministers.

This introductory memorial immediately aroused the positive response of most of the courtiers. There was no other reason. The major families in Beijing and China were closely related.Not to mention those important ministers who are directly related to the Huaiyang Palace, Su family, Lin family, Xu Shangshu's mansion, and Wudinghou's mansion.Have you stopped doing daily government affairs?
Besides, the mansion of Marquis Wu Ding has made meritorious service in escorting him!The same is the escort who made meritorious deeds and unfortunately passed away. Master Wei, the deputy commander in front of the front palace, was not also posthumously awarded the honorary title!That is also a direct relationship with the Huaiyang Palace.

The emperor accepted the memorial, but he didn't say anything at that time. After five full days of delay, he finally got the approval and allowed the memorial.

The emperor has a clear attitude, and the three law divisions can rest assured that the minister of the Ministry of punishment and the doctor of the imperial court "healed up" quickly, and together with the minister of Dali Temple, sorted out a closing memorial and handed it to the emperor.

Because the main offenders were all punished, the rest of the accomplices in custody: the original counselors, scribes, and scribes in the palace were executed.The female relatives and children under the age of 15 were all exiled to northern Xinjiang, and they were never allowed to enter Beijing.

　---Here is the dividing line for closing the case--
　　The Huaiyang Wang case was hastily closed.There is nothing else to do. If we really follow the law, the influence is too wide, and it is impossible for the emperor to do this.Nothing else matters, the stability of the court is the most important thing.

　　Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
