Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 612 Hearing (1)
Xu Muzhen's face changed. He had considered the national mourning period, but how could he wait until the national mourning period expired? His eyes darkened, but he still didn't regret it. If it happened again, he would still be like this, and sat back on the stone slab: " It's just a gamble. Tomorrow is just a verdict, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you will be executed immediately, so what are you afraid of?"

Yun Wanqin didn't say anything else, and led Chu Xia outside.When Xu Muzhen saw her cousin leave, she stood up abruptly: "Eh? I'm leaving now? When you go out, ask the yamen servant to bring a clean mattress or cushion to your cousin. This place is too dirty, full of ants and bugs, I can't stand it." -"

Yun Wanqin didn't bother to pay attention to him, and left his voice behind her ears, until she reached the door, Chu Xia whispered: "You really don't care about Young Master Biao, just leave like this?"

Yun Wanqin didn't say a word, and followed the yamen guard out of the cell, until they arrived at the courtroom, where they saw Tan Langzhong and the others sitting inside, waiting nervously for her, and there seemed to be a few more guards around her, who seemed to be military officers from the Ministry of Punishment The officials are probably afraid that they will do something unreasonable such as forcibly robbing prisoners and using power to oppress others.

Seeing that Princess Qin finally came out, Tan Langzhong heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, and saw off the guests without any courtesy: "The princess has finished reading and finished talking, it's time to go."

Yun Wanqin walked in, raised her head, looked at the sky, and said: "I will hear the trial tomorrow, and it will be dawn in less than two hours, so stay guard at the yamen, so as not to run around and miss the trial time, just in time During this period, Tan Langzhong might as well invite someone to tell me in detail what happened on Wan Chunhua's boat."

Tan Langzhong was annoyed, because he was afraid that the Ministry of Criminal Justice would kill Xu Muzhen casually, so he had to keep an eye on him all the time!
Just now, with the jade pendant, she couldn't stop her from coming in, but now she has enough confidence to go out, Tan Langzhong said mercilessly: "No! The lobby is strict, and there is no reason to keep guests, and we don't have any here." The place entertains the princess, if the princess doesn't leave, don't blame the officials for being merciless! The officials also have to do things according to the law!"

Chu Xia got Yun Wanqin's hint, and raised an armchair beside him: "No one can be left in the courtroom, we're waiting outside the courtyard, we just borrow a stool, it shouldn't interfere with Master Tan's rules."

Tan Langzhong was out of breath, and looked outside the lobby. Although it was warmer spring, it was still cold and windy at night, not to mention women, even big men like them who were on duty at night would not dare to stay outside for a night.

The golden branches and jade leaves, I don't know where the determination came from, but I am not afraid of suffering.

With a glance at him, a powerful official stepped forward and snatched the armchair from Chu Xia's hand, and said coldly: "I'm sorry, the property of the yamen is not allowed to be borrowed!"

"You—" Chu Xia had never met such a stubborn person, and she really vomited blood, but she saw Yun Wanqin holding her shirt and walking towards the courtyard: "It's okay, then let's stand and wait outside the courtroom. "

Tan Langzhong stopped drinking, and said contemptuously: "After all, the princess is still worried about the Ministry of Punishment. We have so many officials, how can we not compare to you, a woman?"

But I heard the woman say: "Nowadays, in the period of great strictness, in order to follow the ideas of the superiors and please them, the following cases are severely punished, and they don't even listen to the evidence. I just ask for a few words with the criminals to know what happened , This is a reasonable matter, but Tan Langzhong is blocking it everywhere tonight, I am really worried!"

With so many people staring at him, Tan Langzhong can't let people think that he is afraid of the powerful, and scold him, "Come on!"

"Yes!" The two military attaches of the Ministry of Criminal Justice received orders from their superiors, intending to trap Yun Wanqin and Chu Xia, and forcefully invite them out.

The boy and the driver of the palace stayed outside the yamen, without any help, Chu Xia was afraid that someone would bump into the empress, so she stepped forward to block her: "Don't be rude——"

A military officer twisted Chu Xia's arm and set it up, and the other military officer also walked around to the back. Although the identity of the woman in front of her and her pair of eyes were daunting, she still stretched out her hand: "The princess is offended!"

At this moment, the lights were brightly lit not far away, and the sound of footsteps gradually approached.

The officials and attendants on both sides held lanterns and illuminated the light. The man in front was about fifty or sixty, and it was Ye Shangshu, the criminal department who was dug out from the warm quilt in the middle of the night. Scenes, hesitating, shouting before the person arrives: "Stop! Stop it for me!"

Seeing that Ye Shangshu had been alarmed, Tan Langzhong and a group of officials from the Ministry of Punishment rushed forward and bowed their hands: "It's midnight, why bother Shangshu to come?"

Ye Shangshu saw that Princess Qin and the maid seemed to be fine, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced back, took a deep breath, his face immediately changed, stepped forward, and knocked Tan Langzhong on the forehead with a chestnut: "Come on!" You are disrespectful to the concubine! Draw your sword to face each other, block you everywhere, and don’t even give the concubine a chair! We are parents and officials, so we shouldn’t do this to the common people! What should you do!”

Tan Langzhong ignored the pain and explained: "What the princess wants to see is a prisoner on death row—"

"I'm talking about this, you tell me that, and I say you're rude to the princess, don't talk to me about death row prisoners!" Ye Shangshu dug in again, and hurriedly stopped his subordinates. Isn't this adding fuel to the flames? , it is really harmful to have a stupid subordinate who is like a stone who doesn't know how to turn, "Apologize quickly! Just because you play with the princess, you are treasonous!"

Tan Langzhong is still like a stubborn bull: "The princess came to see the death row prisoner in the middle of the night, and she still has to stay to hear the trial. There is no such reason! The lower officials have not been notified, so naturally they will not let them. The princess forced her to stay, let alone violence, according to the law, There is a law to follow even if you are going to make a fuss in the court!"

Ye Shangshu broke out in a cold sweat, what nonsense did this bastard say, and he killed Princess Qin immediately?I was about to be killed by him, but I felt a chill behind me. I was about to go forward and knock on my subordinates twice, but I heard a voice behind me.

"What if the king wants to hear the trial?" The voice didn't sound sullen, but deep and dark, clearly brewing with extreme displeasure, drifting out from the crowd behind Ye Shangshu.

Ye Shangshu hurriedly waved his hand, letting a group of followers out of the path for the man to come out from the crowd.

The crowd spread out on both sides, and the silhouette of the man gradually floated under the night. The black silk gown with dark patterns and the pattern of embroidered dragon patch on the chest are especially majestic and noble under the cold moonlight. Changfu rushed to the Yamen Office of the Ministry of Punishment.

"The third master is here." Chu Xia was pleasantly surprised, and whispered, it would be easy.

Yun Wanqin was not as happy as Chu Xia, when she raised her head, she just happened to meet his gaze, and it burned her a little guilty.

Firstly, he ran to the Yamen alone without telling him, and secondly, just after one incident of her natal family was over, she made another addition.

Fortunately, his gaze just leaped over the crowd, swept it leisurely, and didn't stop much.

Tan Langzhong didn't expect King Qin to come with his superiors. Hearing him suddenly ask a question, he hurriedly pulled the robes to salute with a group of subordinates who were on duty at night in the yamen. He straightened up and saw the man in front of him looking at him with dark eyes, still waiting for an answer. , can only say: "If the King of Qin wants to hear the trial, as long as he shows a reasonable reason, it is naturally possible..."
