Chapter 248
Shangguan Lingyu has a bit of a headache. If this case continues like this, when will it end?

I thought about rushing back to the palace in two days, and if I delay for another day, how about the cold attack?
So he said impatiently to Xiao Houye, "What's going on, Xiao Houye might as well talk about it, after such a long time, he might have forgotten, so don't let everyone guess it!"

"Yes, the situation was like this back then. Lan Su broke into the backyard of the county government office and fled to Miss Xiao Zhu's room. Miss Zhu was taking a bath at the time and was frightened by Lan Su. Lan Su hurriedly fled to another place. At that time, because of some For official business, I prepared some belongings and placed them in the county government office, so it would be easier to handle things. Among them was a precious inkstone bestowed by the former emperor. I was reluctant to use it, but it was broken by Lan Su.

It was already a big mistake to break the sacred relic of the former emperor, but because of Lan Su's mistakenly entering the room, the little Zhu girl committed suicide due to shame and indignation.

Sentencing Lan Su to death for these two incidents is not an exaggeration, but the minister fell in love with his talent, and deliberately concealed these two incidents in order to kill his temper. Unexpectedly, Lan Su failed the good intentions of the minister ! "

As soon as Xiao Xuanlang finished speaking, there was silence in the lobby.

It is really disrespectful to break something belonging to the former emperor, not to mention forcing someone to commit suicide. How can such a person be of great use?
"Master Xiao, did Lan Su break the former emperor's belongings on purpose, or did he miss it temporarily? Where is Fang Baoyan now? Did Lord Hou bring it?"

When Mr. Yang asked this question, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

This Lord Xiao is the one who bears grudges the most, previously he wanted to find fault with him and dismiss him on the spot, but now he encounters this case again, if he holds grudges against him, the consequences will be disastrous.

"At that time, when Ben Hou led people to rush over to arrest him, Lan Su was in a hurry and picked up the things on the desk and threw them around. Ben Hou told him in time that they belonged to the late emperor, but he still fell, and it was also Ben's fault. Hou misses the late emperor so that people take advantage of the loophole, and Fang Baoyan is always with me, this Marquis."

Lord Xiaohou seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he beckoned and asked someone to bring his precious inkstone up.

As soon as the inkstone was presented, Shangguan Lingyu had to see it first. Shangguan Lingyu naturally recognized the former emperor's things. This inkstone was indeed the father's. The engraving is very exquisite.

The touch is like a child's skin, soft and not smooth, it is really a superior thing.

It's a pity that there is a hole missing in Baoyan.And looking at the wound, it is indeed old.

The inkstone was handed over to Mr. Yang, and Mr. Yang had someone check it again. Judging by the newness of the wound, Lord Xiao is indeed right.

Master Yang turned his head and asked Lan Su, "Did you drop this inkstone yourself? Do you have any objection to what Master Xiao said?"

Lan Su knelt upright, and said in a dignified manner, "The villain never did this before, and I don't know who Xiao Zhu is, and he never broke into the backyard of the county government. The incident of destroying the former emperor's belongings is purely framed." !"

"Bold! Is it necessary for the Marquis to frame you?" Lord Xiao Hou pointed at him and became furious.

There was a stalemate in the lobby for a while. Could it be possible to invite the old man who was in Ping'an County to confront him, but that would not only waste time, but might also complicate the situation.

Lan Ruqing watched the lobby fall into such a situation, and walked in suddenly.

Naturally, there were people blocking both sides, and Lan Ruqing said neither humble nor overbearing, "Your Majesty, Lord Yang, Minnv is the younger sister of Lan Su in the hall, just now Minnv was listening in the hall, there are quite a few things I don't understand, please allow Minnv Come in and say a few words!"

Seeing that it was Lan Ruqing, Shangguan Lingyu hesitated a little, and then asked someone to invite her in.

After Lan Ruqing knelt on the ground and saw several adults in the hall, she said, "Just now, the civilian girl was listening and watching, and there is one thing that I am very puzzled about. Master Yang may have noticed it a long time ago, but it's just because of her quality. The rank is below Lord Xiao Hou, so I dare not say more.

Master Xiao Hou claimed to take good care of his elder brother in prison, but when he came in and saw his elder brother, his first reaction was very vague, as if his memory only stayed on the child more than ten years ago.

If Lord Xiao Hou really paid more attention to his elder brother, how could he not recognize his current appearance.

Also, the eldest brother came back because the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was approaching and he was amnesty. If Lord Xiao Hou was involved in this, how could Lord Xiao not know that the sentence of elder brother's sentence had not yet expired?

Therefore, Lord Xiao Hou simply wanted my eldest brother to spend 20 years in prison, and he has not entrusted anyone to take care of him for more than ten years. From this, it can be judged that everything was just his evasion, and he wanted to use the so-called hypocritical kindness to bind my eldest brother. ! "

Before Lan Ruqing finished speaking, Xiao Xuanlang slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Lan Ruqing and yelling: "Bold, you, a commoner's daughter, dare to accuse me so openly of being suspected of public revenge, why should I do that?" , what does he have to deserve this Marquis to treat him like that, and you, with nothing to prove, accuse Ben Hou rashly, despise Ben Hou, you are slandering! According to the laws of the Great Zong Dynasty, you should be beheaded!"

Although Shangguan Lingyu also felt that it was inappropriate for Lan Ruqing to testify against Lord Xiao Hou rashly, he still defended her, "Master Hou, this is above the court, and some things can be argued against.

Miss Lan, but what Master Hou said is also right, it is true that you can't talk about court officials with empty words. "

Lan Ruqing nodded, but turned her head to look at Xiao Xuanlang fearlessly, "Your Majesty, the people's daughter is not talking in vain, Lord Xiaohou is indeed a narrow-minded person, our Lan family did not know when we offended him, one night It's not good for our family to hire someone to commit murder!"

"Bold, you are slandering. As an official of the imperial court, how could Ben Hou have poisoned you civilians? The Yamen didn't give a result about that matter. You knew it was Ben Hou who did it. Could it be your elder brother who reversed the case? , can you step on this Marquis unscrupulously? Who gave you such courage!"

Shangguan Lingyu frowned, also feeling that Lan Ruqing's move was inappropriate.

"The yamen didn't give a result. It's because they knew the mastermind behind the scenes, but they didn't dare to publicize it. The prince lived in Lan's house for a while, and was seriously injured that night. The daughter of the people also accidentally heard the prince say that the matter was done by the prince. !"

Shangguan Lingyu frowned, turned to look at Master Yang, and asked, "Has there been any accidents in the Lan family, and has the prince ever encountered disadvantages in the Lan family? Is there any clue to that incident, and who did it?" ?”

Master Yang wiped his sweat, and replied tremblingly, "Back to the emperor, the Lan family did catch fire one night, the prince was indeed injured, and fought with someone, but the yamen haven't found out who did it?"

Shangguan Lingyu had no choice but to say, "Prince Chuanjing!"

On the one hand, he still did not forget to warn Lan Ruqing, "If your guess is correct, this matter will be considered forfeit. If it is not found out that it was done by Lord Hou, then what you said just now can only be judged as slandering the court officials. At that time, according to the law How to deal with you, how to deal with you, no one can intercede for you, do you understand?"

Lan Ruqing nodded, even if Shangguan Jingyi had no evidence to prove that what happened to the Lan family was not done by Xiao Xuanlang, she still had a way to prove that Xiao Xuanlang would definitely not be able to escape today.
