my wife is wonderful

Chapter 302 Finale (Part )

Emperor Sheng Ning looked at his son in front of him. His expression at this moment was still the same as before, gentle and easy-going, without a trace of resentment or grievance.

Fan Kai couldn't help but steal a glance at the emperor. The emperor had a blank expression on his face. Fan Kai was at a loss as the case seemed to have come to a standstill here. Prince Ping spoke so confidently that it was obvious that even if Yunshan was where he had hidden his troops, it should have been moved away by now.

And if we really send someone to Yunshan, not to mention how long it will take, even if we spend several months waiting, there is a high probability that nothing will be obtained.

I knew it, this case was tried too hastily, nothing has been clarified yet, the chain of evidence is incomplete, the testimony given by Geluo can be overturned by King Ping with just a few words, and now King Ping wants to send them to a desert oasis thousands of miles away. How can this case be tried?

He had no choice but to summon the two girls to the court. It was hard for Fan Kai to say whether the additional testimony would be of any use to the outcome of the interrogation.

After that, it depends on what Shu Pingkuo, He Junqi, Ye Xiucheng and others say. If they are as calm as Prince Ping, then in today's trial of this case, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate will all lose face.

In fact, he had thought of this result from the very beginning, and therefore, he was always a little hesitant in his attitude towards King Ping.

He is not as good as Zhu Qianyuan who is about to retire. But perhaps it is precisely because he is about to retire that he is so fearless.

But Zhu still has children and grandchildren, who have either already become officials or may become officials in the future. Isn't he afraid that after King Ping is safe and sound this time, they will bear a grudge against him and blame his children and grandchildren in the future?

But he probably wouldn't dare to show up again now, right?
Fan Kai thought so in his heart, but he felt that someone had to break the silence in the hall at this time. King Ping was still waiting with his hands folded, waiting for their response!
"Master Fan, Master Liu, why don't you call the other two witnesses to the court?"

Just when Fan Kai was hesitating about how to break the deadlock, Zhu Qianyuan next to him suddenly spoke. He had been ill for a long time and his energy was insufficient, so his voice was not loud, and even sounded a little weak, but at this moment, Prince Ping, who was standing in the hall, froze all over.

Analyzing rationally, he knew that no matter what tricks they had, as long as they didn't find the most crucial one, no matter how much they said or did, it would not have much impact on his status. It would only cause him to be punished more by his father. At this point, whether it was a salary cut, confinement, or even a few beatings, he could grit his teeth and accept it.

Only if you can get through this period of time, everything will be fine in the future.

But for some reason, after Zhu Qianyuan said this with a little lack of energy, King Ping suddenly felt uneasy.

Fan Kai was stunned, nodded, and was about to ask the yamen runners to bring Zhu Yan and Geng Xingshuang from the next room to the court, when he heard Zhu Qianyuan ordering, "Go and invite General Zhu and Lord Yang to the court."

Although the order had changed a bit, Zhu Yue and Yang Qingmo were originally witnesses in this case, so although Fan Kai and Liu Chengxu were somewhat surprised, they did not refute.

Since Lord Zhu is willing to take the lead, that’s great, and they are relieved.

Soon, Zhu Yue and Yang Qingmo followed the bailiff to the court. Both of them were officials, and Zhu Yue was the duke of the current dynasty. According to the laws of Daning, they did not have to kneel.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, and all the gentlemen!" Zhu Yue and Yang Qingmo bowed their hands. "General Zhu, Lord Yang, the reason why I invited you two to come to the court this time is because of the Yunshan incident. Just now, Ge Luo said that His Royal Highness Ping Wang was recruiting soldiers privately, and the Xie family was his supporter. In the letter Xie Kun wrote to Yaomu Ji Wang Ge Tan, Yunshan was mentioned. Later, Ge Tan sent people to Yunshan to investigate and found that a large number of soldiers were hidden in Yunshan. It was done by His Royal Highness Ping Wang and the Xie family. However, after asking His Royal Highness Ping Wang, His Royal Highness Ping Wang said that he didn't know about this. As far as I know, it was the Zhenyao Army that discovered the collusion between the Xie family and Yaomu and went to the west to deal with the matter. So I invited you two here. I wonder if General Zhu and Lord Yang have heard about the Yunshan incident?"

Because Zhu Qianyuan was in poor health, Fan Kai was afraid that he would die after saying such words, which was not worth it, so he pushed Liu Chengxu's arm hard. Liu Chengxu had no choice but to speak. He was going to ask whether Zhu Yue and Yang Qingmo knew about the kidnapping of two girls by Prince Ping and the Xie family, and whether they had any evidence, but Fan Kai reminded him in a low voice, "Ask directly about Yunshan and the soldiers and horses."

"Xie Kun has evil intentions. In order to stop us from reporting him to Your Majesty, he colluded with foreign enemies and intended to defeat our Zhenyao Army. The reason why the Xie family is so desperate is because we discovered Yunshan."

As soon as Zhu Yue said this, King Ping smiled faintly, but the smile disappeared in an instant and no one in the court noticed it.

But before his smile reached his eyes, Zhu Yue continued, "But Xie Kun was also alert. After we found Yunshan, he immediately moved all the troops in Yunshan. As for where they were moved, Maoshan, you tell me."

Yang Qingmo did not refuse, but directly said a place name, "Those soldiers are in Qingluo Mountain at the foot of the western peak of Yuyao Mountain Range."

When King Ping heard the words "Qinglu Mountain", his eyes narrowed suddenly.

Zhu Yue looked at Yang Qingmo with some dissatisfaction. That's it. How did you find out? How did you track him? In the battle between Yu Jue Mountain and King Shen, how did King Ping and Xie Kun hide behind, watching covetously, intending to profit from the quarrels between the two sides? And how did the Zhen Yao army win? Such a thrilling battle that is worth talking about, how come only these words come out of your mouth?

"I heard from Nie An that his junior brother's storybook is so brilliant. I was thinking of asking him to tell the story. Maybe he can tell it as well as the storyteller in the teahouse, with ups and downs and exciting stories. If I had known this, I would rather tell it myself."

Yang Qingmo naturally didn't care about Zhu Yue's thoughts. He just wanted to finish today's matter as soon as possible. Shuang'er was still waiting next door. She must be worried and nervous at the moment. If they didn't have to go to class and the matter had a result, it would naturally be the best.

"Sir, please summon Zhang Bo to the hall. Zhang Bo has been hiding in the small temple outside Xiaocheng with Xie Lei. He is a branch of Xie Kun's wife's family and has been living in Xie's mansion. He seems to be not valued by Xie Kun, but he is actually Xie Kun's confidant. You can ask him about what Xie Kun did."

This person was found by Yang Qingmo. After being brought to Ningdu City, Emperor Sheng Ning requested that he still be guarded by the Zhenyao Army and not be taken to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice or other prisons for the time being. Therefore, the three presiding judges did not know about this witness.

"It seems that His Majesty doesn't trust us either!" Fan Kai and the other three felt uncomfortable, but then they thought that the emperor might not be worried about them, but the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice or the Supervisory Office. After all, the Supervisory Office has already produced Shu Pingkuo, and there is no guarantee that there won't be a second one. After all, Prince Ping has had a solid foundation in the court over the years, and no one can guarantee who has already secretly pledged allegiance to him.

After Zhang Bo came to court, he directly told the story of Xie Kun's relationship with Prince Ping. However, he had no evidence. Although Prince Ping felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, he did not want to give up so easily. He was about to open his mouth to explain that both Qingluo Mountain and Zhang Bo's words were one-sided without any evidence. Then he heard a cold voice from above, "Don't worry, I have already sent people to Qingluo Mountain to give you a clear explanation."

This was the first sentence Emperor Sheng Ning said in this court.

Have they sent someone there? When did they go? Have they arrived yet? Or… have the people they sent come back?

Prince Ping opened his mouth and was about to say something, but he didn't know what to say when he heard a commotion outside. Fan Kai quickly asked the yamen runner to go ask. A moment later, the yamen runner came back and reported: "The servants of Prince Ping's Mansion reported that a mother and son were making trouble in front of Prince Ping's Mansion. The mother said... that her son was the son of His Royal Highness Prince Ping, and he had been raising him outside. She is pregnant again now, and the child is still... still his, but His Royal Highness has not been to Jinyue Hutong. She has no money to spend and can't raise her son and the child in her belly. She has no other choice but to come to the front of Prince Ping's Mansion, hoping to find the child's father and let the child recognize his ancestry!"
