The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 178
Jing Zhaoyi plucked up her courage, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, then this case..."

This is really which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted.

The third prince stretched out his hand and gave him a slap in the mouth. The slap made Jing Zhaoyi spin around a few times. If a servant hadn't caught him in time, he would have fallen to the ground.

"As a parent official in the capital, you came to question me? Could it be that you want to keep me for interrogation? Can't you see that Daoist Master Yijiang was plotted by a demon? It's fine not to uphold justice, but you also want to help the tyrants and harm him. Director Jiang, could it be you..."

Jing Zhaoyi broke out in cold sweat when he heard that, before the third prince could finish speaking, he knelt down and begged for mercy.

The Beijing official is also a third-rank official, so he shouldn't be so embarrassed in front of the prince, but the third prince is different from the other princes. Although he has just lifted the punishment of confinement, he is highly valued by the emperor, and he is likely to replace the crown prince. As a crown prince, so the Beijing officials are very humble in front of him, kneeling down and begging for mercy is not a matter.

The third prince snorted coldly at him: "The case has been closed a long time ago. You can handle the case yourself."

After saying that, he walked away, and Taoist Master Yijiang was also taken away.

Jing Zhaoyi got up from the ground, and returned to the hall in embarrassment and embarrassment.

When he saw Shen Changyan and Bai Zhi, he immediately became terrified again.

Although Bai Zhi was very disdainful of this official, the corner of her lips raised a hint of disdain.

Shen Changyan still did not embarrass Jing Zhaoyi, but continued to look at the people, and asked: "You are all witnesses today, that Daoist Jiang did have the mole that Miss Xiaocui said, and I need to testify in this case in the future Are you willing to testify?"

The people all shouted in unison.

It was so impressive that even Jing Zhaoyi didn't feel guilty.

The case of the girl's disappearance has been closed, and the flower picker has signed his signature and put him in prison, waiting for his execution in the autumn.

Now Xiaocui's witness, Daoist Jiang, appeared again. If the previous case was overturned and retried, he would be slapping himself in the face.

Jing Zhaoyi understood that the third prince was protecting Daoist Master Yijiang, so he naturally did not want to retrial, so he simply used the third prince as a shield.

"Shen Shizi, the girl's disappearance case has been solved. The evidence is conclusive and the criminal confessed..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Changyan said in a low voice: "Then open a new case. What Xiaocui said is true. She has reported her disappearance to the government. Isn't it a false accusation?"

"This..." Jing Zhaoyi was in a dilemma, and opened a new case, but he was powerless to refuse.

"Is it difficult for adults?" Shen Changyan asked with raised eyebrows.

Jing Zhaoyi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's that Taoist Master Yijiang is now..."

In the middle of speaking, he sighed deeply, the third prince would not be able to pass that test.

Shen Changyan nodded and said seriously: "But this case must be established and reported to the court. As for the follow-up, let's see how the court decides."

Jing Zhaoyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly responded, "I will obey your orders."

Having said that, he couldn't help sighing secretly that as a Beijing official, it was too difficult and humble to survive in the cracks between kings and grandsons and nobles.

They are all young boys, but their identities and backgrounds are masters he cannot afford to offend.

Shen Changyan and Bai Zhi looked at each other, and they got up.

Jing Zhaoyi also immediately left the hall and ordered the guards to take Xiaocui to the back hall and find a room to take care of her first.

When Bai Zhi heard this, she immediately stopped in her tracks.

This is clearly to detain Xiao Cui, please the Third Prince, and follow his arrangement on how to deal with the complainant.

Shen Changyan didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered the followers around him: "Take Xiaocui away."

The entourage agreed, and stepped forward to ask Xiaocui to leave together.

Jing Zhaoyi's complexion suddenly became ugly.

He was defeated in front of the people today, but he was unwilling to accept it, so he forced himself to declare the reason for detaining Xiao Cui.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xiaocui is just staying in the Yamen temporarily. She will be well fed and served, and her freedom will not be restricted. After all, I still have to try this case carefully, so that I can give a perfect explanation to the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third Prince. When the case is cleared up, Xiaocui will naturally be allowed to go home."

However, Shen Changyan gestured for his entourage to take Xiaocui away, and responded casually: "I understand what you mean, sir. Since I have encountered this matter, I will naturally take care of it to the end. If you want to ask about the case, just send someone to me." I will ask Xiaocui to deliver it to you immediately."

A hesitant expression appeared on Jing Zhaoyi's face: "Master, Xiaocui is in the back hall, my wife..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Changyan raised his hand to signal not to say any more.

"Sir, this case is difficult, isn't it? The defendant has been taken away. Can you ensure the safety of the plaintiff? If she dies unexpectedly in your backyard, then..."

A word awakens the dreamer.

Jing Zhaoyi's face turned pale with fright, he didn't even think of this, he only wanted to please the third prince, redeem his merits, detain Xiaocui and let him deal with it, but he forgot how the third prince could be caught?If someone secretly sent someone to kill Xiao Cui in the back office, then he would be in big trouble.

Xiaocui really can't stay in the back hall.

As long as he leaves here, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with him.

Jing Zhaoyi hurriedly waved his hands and nodded again: "It's still the son of the world who thinks carefully, then the son of the son of Lao Shi."

He has been an official for many years, and he is also an old fox in the officialdom.

It would be best for the eldest son to take Xiao Cui away. Even if the third prince pursues the responsibility and lets go of the accuser, he has a shield, who would dare to offend the eldest son?

Shen Guogong, Shen Yebo, had great military exploits. He was an important minister of the dynasty, the brother of the current queen, and the emperor's uncle.

Although the Crown Prince is not a prince, he has the same status as a prince and has been in and out of the palace since he was a child.

Jing Zhaoyi will not offend the third prince or Shen Changyan.

At the same time, he also used the two of them as shields in front of each other.

Aware of current affairs and good at drilling.

Come out from Jingzhaoyi Mansion.

Bai Zhi unconsciously shook her head and said with a smile: "This Xiaocui, don't mention that she really has the vigor and shrewdness of a businessman, why did she sneak out of the other courtyard today, and come to this temple fair to block that old man?"

Shen Changyan nodded in agreement: "If it hadn't been for her, it wouldn't have been so easy to reveal the true identity of Niubi."

"Do you think that the third prince's taking away the old man who has proven guilty evidence in public is not his usual style at all?" Bai Zhi immediately thought of another question.

Shen Changyan's eyes were deep, and he smiled coldly: "Don't you know that you are mistaken by your cleverness? It is proved from the side that Niubi probably has his secret. It was originally a simple case of Niubi, and I am afraid that the scope will be expanded. We just wait for them to come down." How to deal with it one step at a time, just see each other again."

Bai Zhi felt that what he said made sense, and said with a smile: "I'm happy today, let's go back to the temple fair to buy herbs."

Shen Changyan responded quickly: "No problem, you buy it, and I'll pay for it."

Bai Zhi was in a good mood. When she saw that he was responding to her, she couldn't help but reach out and hold his arm, jumping up and down and pulling him towards the temple fair.

"Long words, hurry up, people will buy all the good things when it's late."
