Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 327 Go to court, two kings contend!
Shen Ninghua frowned and pondered: "Back when the second concubine passed away, many of them were handwritten by Baili Jinchuan, and the Zhou family fell because of it. Logically speaking, if Zhou Ziqing and the second concubine really came from the same lineage, they should hate him to the bone It is."

Baili Junyi shook his head: "Daughters in big families are born for marriage. As long as this goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter whether a person lives or dies. If the Zhou family in Zhoucheng and the second princess's natal family are a family , Maybe there is something big behind it that we all know about.”

The Zhou family did everything perfectly, and the little tail on the back was also handled very cleanly. The reason why he directly arrested Zhou Ziqing before was to take a drastic step to control him first, and then investigate the secrets behind it.However, the time is too short now, and many plans were interrupted by Baili Jinchuan before they could start.

If there is a connection between the two, then Baili Jinchuan's timely appearance is thought-provoking.The most troublesome thing is the next thing. Baili Jinchuan will definitely obstruct him in every possible way from attacking the Zhou family. If the cancer of the Zhou family is not eliminated, the Northwest may be in deep danger.

Shen Ninghua held his hand: "It's fine as it is now, don't you suspect that the Zhou family has something to do with Baili Jinchuan, just take this opportunity to investigate."

"Well, the Zhou family is too thorough in handling the facts. We investigated and learned a lot of things. We knew that the Zhou family was insidious, but we couldn't produce any definite evidence. In this way, we will not be able to punish Zhou Ziqing in the yamen tomorrow. "

The next day, Baili Jinchuan sent someone to send a letter early on, saying that he wanted to interrogate Zhou Ziqing, the Patriarch of the Zhou family, and sent someone to invite Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua to listen.

The two changed their clothes, and after using some things briefly, they came to the government office together.At this time, the gate of the yamen was full of people, and when they saw the carriage of the two men coming, there was a loud booing from the crowd, and everyone had anger and disgust on their faces. street rat.

Baili Junyi's expression was cold, ignoring the booing outside at all, he bent down and got off the carriage, looked around with stern eyes, and then returned to his senses and helped Shen Ninghua get out of the carriage.

Shen Ninghua got off the carriage and stood side by side with Baili Junyi. The expressions of the two of them did not move at all, and they turned a blind eye to the eyes of everyone present.

Everyone looked at the two people walking side by side, and they didn't know why they suddenly felt a sense of oppression in their hearts. The appearance of the two people was too amazing. They still remembered the astonishment when they saw them for the first time. Still fresh in my memory.

The boos gradually subsided, and everyone involuntarily made way for them.Watching the two walk into the yamen, many people hesitated to guess: "Yijun Wang and Junwangfei have really helped the victims. The reason why they treated Patriarch Zhou like that, maybe there is some misunderstanding?"

"Looking at the celestial appearance of the two of them, how can they not frame Zhongliang casually?"

"It is said that their reputation in Kyoto is still very good. Back then, Princess Zhaohua rescued many people in Jiangnan."

"You've heard about it, and I know something about it. I heard that the plague in the south of the Yangtze River was thanks to Princess Zhaohua's prescription, and there are many things after that... Her title of Princess Zhaohua was awarded because of her merit."

When they said this, some people immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Who can say for sure about this matter, a good reputation in the past does not mean that this person cannot become bad. Don't you know why they left the capital and came to Zhoucheng? It is said that they offended Most of the officials in the court, many people were forced to death by them, so they had to leave, there is a big problem here."

"Yeah, besides, the Zhou family has protected us in Zhoucheng for many years. Who of you here has never received help from the Zhou family? As ungrateful people, we must help Patriarch Zhou seek justice today."

As soon as these words came out, the people who helped Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi to speak suddenly fell silent. They didn't want to be ungrateful people.

In the government office, seeing the two people coming in, Zhou Da hurriedly got up to greet him: "The official has seen Yi County King and the County Princess." He didn't dare to underestimate these two, after all, if the second prince hadn't come suddenly, the Zhou family might have died. was taken down.In the past, I always heard the head of the family say that they are courageous and not afraid of offending people, but now they have seen it.

"Mr. Zhou is free of courtesy. We are here to observe. Mr. Zhou is the deputy presiding judge. In this government hall, you have a higher status than us."

"Your Majesty's words will disgrace your official position." Zhou Dalian said that he didn't dare to say anything, and led the two of them to sit down, and he went down to prepare.

Baili Jinchuan in a boa robe came in. On one side of his belt was a sachet with an exquisite gold seal, but the place where a jade pendant should be hung on the right was empty. After he gave the jade pendant to Xiaobao, he didn't choose to hang it , was it forgotten or was it intentional?

Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes slightly, and followed Baili Junyi to stand up to salute.

Baili Jinchuan's voice was flat, but his eyes fell on Shen Ninghua vaguely: "Fifth brother, don't be too polite, you are somewhat involved in the affairs of the Zhou family, that's why I specially called you here."

"Should be."

"Fifth Brother, just don't feel uncomfortable." After he finished speaking, he went straight to the hall and sat down without waiting for Baili Junyi to respond, "Master Zhou, is everything ready?"

"Report to the prince, it is ready."

"Okay, then bring Zhou Ziqing up."

"mighty!"

Zhou Ziqing was still wearing the same clothes as before. After a night of tossing and wrinkling, his clothes were a little more wrinkled, and he looked a bit embarrassed, but his expression was extraordinarily calm, and the smile on his face was still indifferent and elegant as usual.

"Caomin Zhou Ziqing has met Prince De, Prince Yi, Princess Concubine, and Master Zhou."

Baili Jinchuan looked at Zhou Ziqing coldly: "Zhou Ziqing, can you plead guilty?"

"Reporting to the lord, the grass people don't understand what they are guilty of, how can they admit it?"

"Yes, Patriarch Zhou is innocent!"

"Patriarch Zhou was wronged, let him go, let Patriarch Zhou go!"

When the people at the gate saw Zhou Ziqing being brought up, they immediately raised their arms and shouted out of righteous indignation, and the noise could be heard clearly in the lobby.

Baili Jinchuan slapped the gavel suddenly: "Quiet!"

The guards turned around and took out their long spears in a coordinated attack. They were so startled that the people gathered outside the government office dared not make a sound.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Zhou Ziqing: "You say you are innocent?"

Zhou Ziqing nodded: "Yes, the grass people don't understand very much. After learning that the victims entered the city, the grass people prepared food and medicinal materials overnight to help King Yi County relieve the victims. In the past few days, the people who came to Zhoucheng after hearing the news are getting more and more excited. There are more and more, the food in the grass people's homes is difficult to support, and several rice shops are closed because they have no goods. After reporting the truth, they were directly detained, and even their homes were confiscated. The grass people are also very puzzled."

Baili Jinchuan turned his head: "If you are talking about this point, you have to ask the fifth brother. Fifth brother, when I came, you had already detained Patriarch Zhou. Now, can you explain why you detained Patriarch Zhou?" ?”

"I'm just talking to Patriarch Zhou, why did you talk about the detention?"

As soon as he said this, the reaction of the people outside was even greater: "You don't even admit it. If you tie people up, isn't it detention?"

"Not only was it impounded, but the Zhou Mansion was also confiscated!"

"yes……"

Baili Jinchuan patted the gavel again: "Okay, everyone is quiet, right and wrong, this king will definitely ask clearly. Fifth brother, it seems that many people don't believe what you said."

Baili Junyi smiled when he heard the words: "It's innocent, I won't embarrass an ordinary person. Why I did it, Master Zhou should know."

Zhou Ziqing raised his head with a respectful attitude, but he was not polite when he said it: "The prince of the county is joking. The grass people do good deeds and accumulate virtue on weekdays. They have never done anything that violates the law. What should they know? The only thing that is wrong... "

He looked up at the people outside, with deep guilt in his eyes: "If you say this is the wrong place, I'm afraid it's the people from outside who got involved for no reason. When they heard about my accident, they even surrounded the camp for the victims and Princess Yi's residence. It is right and wrong of grassroots heart. If there is any crime, the grassroots are willing to bear it all, and I ask Prince De not to blame the people."

As soon as this remark came out, many people outside were moved to tears, and they looked at Baili Junyi with a lot of anger. It is unreasonable how King Yijun could attack such a caring Mr. Zhou.

Baili Jinchuan looked at Baili Junyi: "Fifth brother, the common people are emotional for a while, you won't pursue it if you think about it?"

"Of course I won't pursue it." He had previously told Zhou Ziqing that he wanted to report the matter that the Zhou family had aroused the common people's agitation, but he didn't expect Zhou Ziqing to block his mouth now.

"The fifth younger brother will continue to explain, why do you want to detain Patriarch Zhou?"

Baili Junyi glanced at Zhou Ziqing and Baili Jinchuan, and said unhurriedly: "Of course we need to investigate some things."

Baili Jinchuan's eyes were firm: "What are you going to investigate?"

"We need to investigate whether the Zhou family is bullying others!"

The people outside laughed together.

"Haha, the Zhou family is bullying others? This is so funny!"

"Who doesn't know that the Zhou family is the most benevolent, and there is no one in Zhou City who does not agree."

Zhou Ziqing also had a wry smile on his face: "Yi County King was joking, the grass people never dare to bully others, and even the subordinates are strictly restrained."

"Oh, Patriarch Zhou is sure?"

"Sure!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll ask two people to come up and confront Patriarch Zhou." Baili Junyi shook his sleeves violently, turned around and told the guards behind him, "Send the two brothers Sun Da and Sun Er Bring it up."

Sun Da, Sun Er?Who are these people?

Zhou Ziqing couldn't remember for a while, but Zhou Da's face suddenly changed.

Two men dressed as ordinary people were brought up, kneeling on the ground respectfully and saluting.

Seeing the slightly familiar appearance of the two, Zhou Ziqing suddenly recalled, weren't these two the same two people who were beaten by officers and soldiers at the banquet in Qilin Garden to welcome Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua?It's not been dealt with properly, why did they come here?
