Chapter 678 Open trial! (3)
Han Qian sighed leisurely, "When I come back tomorrow morning, the backyard must be full of broken branches and fallen leaves and... fallen flowers."

Yun Shuo chuckled lightly and said, "Flowers can bloom again after they fall. Branches and leaves can grow again if they fail miserably. As long as the roots are still there, there is nothing to fear."

After hearing this, Han Qian turned her head to look at Yun Shuo who was hugging her from behind. From her perspective, she could only look up at his side face. His eyes were hidden in the shadow of the brow bone, so invisible.It's just that the cold and hard lines on the bridge of his nose and chin made her restless heart gradually settle down.

Ten days later, three imperial envoys, including Wang Yunling, escorted a group of prisoners from Jeju and their physical evidence to Beijing.

After the three of Wang Yunling entered Beijing, they didn't even return home. They directly wiped their face and neck with water from a kettle and a handkerchief in the carriage, put on clean court clothes, and went straight into the palace, and went to the Zichen Hall to meet Tianyan.

It seemed to be another sign of a storm, and the weather was particularly sultry.There are more than a dozen basins of ice in the Zichen Palace, and he is still a little out of breath.

After submitting the dossier and reviewing the facts of the case and the results of the trial, Wang Yunling, Feng Xian, Zeng Chengkun and the three of them stood in front of the dragon case in sequence, waiting for the emperor to speak.

Yun Shuo looked down at the trial results of the case jointly presented by the three, and after a long time raised his head and asked, "Has that woman surnamed Gu brought into the capital?"

Wang Yunling hurriedly replied: "Return to Your Majesty, she is a key criminal. After entering Beijing, she has been sent to the sky prison for key custody."

"Very well, I don't think there is anything wrong with the trial of Luo Tongjiang and others, so let's do it this way. The death penalty will be executed after autumn, and those who are exiled will be released next month. As for those who are imprisoned, they will be locked up temporarily. In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Your Majesty, why do you have to wait for next month for distribution?" Feng Xian asked with a bow.

"Because there are a few criminals here who need to testify in the next case or be sentenced again." After Yun Shuo finished speaking, he glanced at Feng Xian with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Master Feng has always been upright, he is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A good sword. This time the errand was done well, I will give you half a month's rest, go back and have a good rest."

"Your Majesty..." Feng Xian cupped his hands in doubt, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yun Shuo waving his hand: "Okay! You must be tired from the long journey, so go back. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it at the meeting tomorrow. "

"This..." Feng Xian wanted to say something else.

Wang Yunling had already raised his official robe and kowtowed: "I thank Your Majesty for your compassion, and I will take my leave."

"I will leave!" Zeng Chengkun also knelt down.

Even if Feng Xian had a stomach for it, he couldn't say it anymore, so he had to kneel down and leave with those two.

After leaving the Zichen Palace, Feng Xian fired at Wang Yunling: "Master Wang! What's the matter with you today? We rushed back in a hurry, is it just to say such a few harmless words to His Majesty?!"

"Master Feng!" Wang Yunling stepped forward to cover Feng Xian's mouth, looked at the guards around him, frowned and said, "You can die if you want, but don't kill me!"

Feng Xian raised his hand and pushed Wang Yunling's hand away, and said angrily: "How did I hurt you? Eat the king's salary, and share your worries! You said that you are a cabinet elder, why do you want to get along with me? Your Majesty made an exception and promoted you." You, is this how you repay His Majesty?"

Wang Yunling pulled Feng Xian out of the palace gate of the Zichen Palace in a hurry, and he breathed a sigh of relief in the aisle outside, holding back the anger in his heart, and said lightly: "Lord Feng! If you think you have something to say to your majesty, You can go back now. I have nothing to do and can go back to His Majesty, so I won't accompany you."

Feng Xian wanted to say something else, but Wang Yunling flicked his sleeves and walked away.

"Hey, you..." Feng Xian looked at Zeng Chengkun again.

Zeng Chengkun said with a sneer: "Lord Feng, don't delay your going back to discuss important matters with His Majesty alone, and the officer has also resigned."

"Hey, you! Treacherous man! A courtier!" Feng Xian had always disliked Zeng Chengkun, but now he wished he could step forward and kick this man's feet.

Three days later, the case of the empress being framed began in Dali Temple.

In the courtroom of Dali Temple, Yao Shenglin, the chief assistant of the cabinet, sat in the middle, flanked by Feng Xian, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zeng Chengkun, the minister of punishment.As the imperial envoy of the Jeju case, Wang Yunling, the old cabinet minister, also sat aside to jury.

Of course, none of the masters who can sit here are simple, and all of them have deep thoughts in their hearts.However, the moment Yao Shenglin opened his mouth, everyone present was startled.

"...Master Yao, what did you just say?" Feng Xian asked first.

"What, Master Feng, did you just lose your mind? Or did you go to Jeju and feel unwell, except for your ears?" Zeng Chengkun said with a faint smile, "What Master Yao just said is that the trial of Shao Juanwen's private affairs is now going on. Gu Ningshuang, a palace maid who practiced in Wuse Temple, framed the empress case. Is it clear enough this time?"

"Master Zeng!" Feng Xian asked with a frown, "This case hasn't been tried yet, where did the word 'framing' come from? Also, what kind of palace servants who were ordered to practice in Wuse Temple? This matter has something to do with monks What connection?"

"Lord Feng, you also said that the case has not yet been tried, so you ask so many questions here, how do you ask Yao Shoufu to answer you?" Wang Yunling asked back.

It was only at this time that Feng Xian realized that Wang Yunling, who had always remained neutral in Jeju, was now completely on the Queen's side.

Look at the presiding judges and jurors sitting in the hall. Except for himself and Dali Siqing, they all seem to be on the side of the empress.Especially this Yao Shenglin, the Ninghou Mansion and the Han family are closely related, and the Yao family and the Ninghou Mansion are serious in-laws. The Han, Wei, and Yao families are all in the same breath!
Yao Shenglin looked at the silent Feng Xian, and asked calmly: "Master Feng, do you have anything else to say? If not, I will ask them to commit crimes."

Feng Xian cleared his mind, and realized that it was pointless to hang on to Yao Shenglin's opening remarks at this time. This time the public trial of the case, there were quite a few rich and powerful children around outside the hall, even if these people were all queens. Yidang, the trial also pays attention to personal evidence, so he nodded and said: "I have nothing to say, let's start the trial."

"Okay!" Yao Shenglin clapped the gavel in his hand, and shouted, "Come here! Bring someone to commit Shao Junwen!"

Behind the lobby, behind a separate door.Yun Shuo and Han Qian sat on both sides of a table of eight immortals, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in each hand, neither of them spoke, just listening quietly.

Shao Juanwen had been interrogated the night Yun Shuo came back.Yun Shuo is not good-tempered, since he will go to the prison in person, it is impossible not to vent the anger in his stomach.Originally, Yun Shuo thought that a son like Shao Juanwen must not be a tough guy, so he dealt with it severely, and asked whatever he wanted to say.But I didn't expect this guy to have a really strict mouth, he just resisted a violent beating, and got through with a howling curse.
