The Grand Princess

"This is impossible!"

Xie Lanqing was the first to react, and he hurriedly got up: "How could I let my son be a killer?! Your Majesty Mingjian!"

"Oh," Pei Wenxuan saw Xie Lanqing stand up, and smiled suddenly, "Master Xie is in good health, is he standing up now?"

"The horse is joking," Li Rong looked back at Pei Wenxuan, "Master Xie hurt his stomach and not his leg, so I can't stand up? Master Xie, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

Li Rong said, using a fan to stir up Lin Fei's white face, and said to everyone: "Look carefully, are the eyebrows of this young man and Master Xie somewhat similar?"

No one dared to speak. Li Ming looked around carefully and found that Lin Fei's white eyes were indeed exactly the same as Xie Lanqing.

Xie Lanqing was also a well-known beautiful man in Huajing when he was young. Now he can't see his appearance when he is old, but Li Rong reminded everyone that Xie Lanqing was young, and then looked at Lin Feibai carefully. For a while, he was a little afraid to answer. Up.

"Because of this, your Highness said that the killer and Xie Shangshu are father and son?"

Su Rongqing suddenly said something, Li Rong was a little surprised. She didn't expect Su Rongqing to intervene at this time. She turned around and met Su Rongqing's gaze.

Su Rongqing's eyes were very cold. He seemed to be trying to restrain something. The cold eyes seemed to be like a whirlpool, and all kinds of emotions seemed to be hidden. Li Rong couldn't help but pause for a moment on those eyes, until Pei Wenxuan gave a light cough, she didn't react. , Laughed and said: "Naturally it can't be just because of this. This matter has to start with the assassination of the cohort more than half a month ago.

"In the year when the horse was assassinated, our deputy director Su Ronghua had some conflicts with me. He questioned that another deputy director of our company, the senior officer, tortured Chen Guang to extract a confession, so I personally tried Chen under the supervision of the deputy director Su that day. Guang, after Chen Guang confessed, I received a threatening kite with the word'stop' written in cinnabar. Someone assassinated the pack horse that afternoon. They injured the pack horse, but there was no poison on the knife, obviously just to scare the child Chen, Erchen was deeply disturbed, so let people conduct a thorough investigation."

Li Rong said, and with a wave of her hand, Shangguanya stepped forward with the kite she had received, and said respectfully: "Weichen was ordered by His Royal Highness to thoroughly investigate this item and found that the cinnabar used above was exclusively sold by a family in Beijing. For Huimingxuan, a pen and ink shop for the nobles, Weichen looked at Huimingxuan's accounts for six months and found that there are 20 households left after the purchase, including Xie's Mansion."

"But Master Xie has nothing to do with this case," Li Rong continued. "So I didn't think about Master Xie. These people obviously wanted the children to not examine what they were holding, especially Chen. Wide, but axiomatic and conscience made the son-chen out of his life and death, so the son-chen could only clenched his teeth and insisted. But as the day passed, the son-chen became more and more disturbed, so he decided to lead the snake out of the cave, deliberately travel with the horse, and let the news out. Then he set up an ambush in the Butterfly Gorge and used himself as bait to catch a bunch of killers alive, including this young boy, Lin Feibai."

Li Rong stopped next to Lin Feibai. Everyone looked at Lin Feibai. Li Rong calmly said: "After investigation, it was found that Lin Feibai was the deputy director of the Seven Star Hall, the number one killer organization on the rivers and lakes. The Seven Star Hall was on the rivers and lakes. It was undefeated, but for self-protection and long-term development, they never shot to the nobles. They were able to invite Hall Master Lin over, because of the Chen family’s ability, I was afraid that it would not work, so the children began to suspect that there was something else behind the Chen family. Others. At this time, the child minister interrogated Hall Master Lin, and then found something from Hall Master Lin."

With that said, Li Rong knelt down and used a fan to press the corners of Lin Feibai's clothes. Lin Feibai hurriedly held Li Rong's fan and said angrily: "What are you doing?!"

"Master Lin, don't worry, don't you want to know the truth?"

Lin Feibai hesitated for a moment, watching Li Rong shove the fan into her clothes, and then picked out a pendant from his neck: "What do you recognize this necklace?"

The necklace was singled out, and everyone's faces looked different. Each family has its own iconic objects to identify the tribe, which is used to identify the identity in the event of an accident. Most of these objects are things that are easy to carry around. Some northern families use tattoos, while southern families often use jade pendants and necklaces.

Most of these objects have names on the family crest. Most ordinary people don't know these things, but the nobles must study the relationship between the various races, and they are very clear about the family crest.

At this moment, this empty magnolia carved with Kunshan white jade fell into the eyes of everyone, and everyone couldn't help but have a different color.

"Where did you steal this?!" Xie Lanqing was a little panicked, "Why do you have such a thing?"

Lin Feibai didn't speak, his face turned pale, Li Rong smiled and stretched out his hand to turn the jade pendant over, revealing the word'Qing' inside.

"Unfortunately, I have seen such a pendant on a sister of the Xie family, and I was attracted by this object. Lin Feibai is somewhat similar to this object, Master Xie, and this jade pendant testifies, plus That cinnabar is also related to Lord Xie, and I had to think more about it. So I directly asked people to check Xie Lanqing’s life and past, and found that when Xie Shangshu was young, there was a period of turmoil in the past, and the city was full of storms, saying thank you The adult fell in love with a woman from the rivers and lakes, and the family did not agree, and gave Xie Shangshu a promise to the wife of today. On the day of marriage, the woman from the rivers and lakes held a sharp sword and cut off the crown of Lord Xie's hair and went away."

"Then I checked the time when the Qixingtang was established. It was two years after this Fengyue past, and it was exactly one year after the birth of Master Lin. So I pretended to know the location of the Qixingtang and told Lin Feibai that the Qixingtang was located within the Xie family. Inside, Young Master Lin was shocked, I knew it, I guessed it right."

Li Rong put down the chain, stood up, and looked at Xie Lanqing with a smile: "In this way, Qixingtang, who has never been involved with the dignitaries, has a reason to take action. Because the master of the Qixingtang is exactly the same as Master Xie back then. A woman in love. My palace guessed that what happened back then should be like this."

"Master Xie fell in love with the woman from the rivers and lakes when she was young, but was unable to be together due to family obstruction. The woman was pregnant and left and gave birth to Lin Feibai. And Master Xie found this woman after marriage, provided her with shelter, and helped her establish the Seven Star Church. Because of various reasons, this hall master was unwilling to become Master Xie’s concubine, and did not want his children to return to Xie’s house, so he left Lin Feibai and raised Lin Feibai as a successor in the Seven Star Hall. . And Master Xie did not know why he agreed to this matter."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xie Lan yelled out angrily, and then anxiously covered the wound. Li Rong knocked on the palm of her hand and smiled and said, "Are you talking nonsense? You can tell after a test. Come here, bring the water. Come!"

Li Rong raised her voice and Xie Lanqing's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Lin Fei was stunned with white hair. After a while, the attendant walked in with clear water. Li Rong turned to look at Xie Lanqing: "Xie Shangshu, you are the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. You must give it a try."

Xie Lanqing didn't dare to speak, staring at the bowl of clear water, Li Rong looked at Lin Feibai again: "Master Lin?"

Lin Feibai was in a daze. He raised his eyes to Li Rong. Shangguanya sighed and said next to him: "Thousands of miles to Huajing, she became pregnant before she was married, but was abandoned. He cut off the bridegroom's crown on the day of marriage, and was alone for nearly 20 years. , This is really pathetic and pathetic. As a child, don't you even mourn your mother at all?"

"Master Xie," Li Rong urged Xie Lanqing, "You are so hesitant, is it inconvenient to walk over, or dare you?"

Xie Lanqing kept his face stiff, Lin Feibai stood up suddenly, walked to Li Rong, raised his hand and cut his finger with a sharp blade, blood dripped into the bowl, he raised his eyes to Xie Lanqing, and said coldly: "Come here."

Xie Lanqing didn't move, Lin Feibai looked at him coldly, "Xie Shangshu, come here."

When Xie Lanqing was called by Lin Feibai, he heard the warning in Lin Feibai's tone. He stiffened his face and finally stood up. He stiffened and walked to the table, hesitating to stretch out his hand. Lin Feibai saw Xie Lanqing hesitate, simply I grabbed him, raised the knife in his hand, and cut Xie Lanqing's fingers directly between Xie Lanqing's exclamations, pinched the fingers and dripped blood into the cup!

Two drops of blood filled the water, met, and then slowly merged.

Seeing the drop of blood merged drop by drop, Xie Lanqing said anxiously: "Impossible, someone framed me, Your Majesty, the minister asked for another test, and then..."

"What else is there to test."

Pei Wenxuan laughed: "Master Xie thinks that this jade pendant is fake, the eyes of Master Lin are fake, or the two drops of blood in the bowl are fake? Master Xie, you assassinated the princess first, and hacked. After the parents framed the princess, now they are not confessing their sins to ask for forgiveness from your majesty and your majesty, and you still have to quibble here. I want to know who gave Master Xie the courage to ignore your majesty and Wang Fa , The monarchs and ministers are in disregard, the heaven and earth are morally disregarded!"

"Pei Wenxuan, you silly child!" Xie Lanqing yelled and raised his finger to Pei Wenxuan, "It is you, who encouraged your Royal Highness to do these messy things, and now you have to go through the killer to buy the servant to frame the old minister, and the old minister becomes the official third. For ten years, I have done my best for the country and the king, but today I have to be framed by these two children. I hope your Majesty will observe it!"

"Father," Li Rong listened to Xie Lanqing's words, and she also knelt down. She bent her spine and bowed her head respectfully.

"What is your crime?"

"Erchen knows, in fact, these days, he has been messing around, causing trouble to his father."

"Erchen is now presiding over these two cases, which involves a lot of family members. Among them, there are two death row prisoners involved in the Xie family. When his father agreed to accept the case, he must have been under great pressure. In this case, you should also be prepared to put your life and death aside. The son-chen has thought about it countless times. Perhaps it is better not to investigate this matter. After all, the son-chen is just a daughter’s family. With the love of her husband, it is better to live this stable and wealthy life, whether it is for the children, or for the father and the emperor."

"It's just that Erchen can't bear the heart, can't bear to watch the Qin family get wronged, can't bear to see that the foundations of a country like the military pay are eaten by moths, so the sons still stand up. The sons are the princess and are supported by the people of the world. Yun Jinyi, no matter who raises silkworms. The road is difficult, and the sons and ministers are afraid that his father will be under too much pressure, and all kinds of difficulties he encounters have never been reported."

As Li Rong said, her voice was dumb: "Master Xie is a minister of the brachial unit and has done a lot of good deeds for the court. He has been embarrassed for one or two times, and he shouldn't be so stalemate with him. But the minister... …"

Li Rong said, and choked: "There is really no way for the son, the son can spare his life, but the horse is innocent. Today, the son does not ask for punishment for the assassination of Lord Xie, and only hopes that all the adults can do something for the son. Lord, there should always be a saying about the assassination of Hu Ma... It’s nothing more than to insult the child minister. After all, it was the child minister who provoke Lord Xie, but what about Hu Ma?"

Li Rong burst into tears when she talked about it, as if she was really forced to desperate.

"His Royal Highness," Xie Lanqing panicked and said anxiously when he heard this, "You are a princess, and you are investigating the Qin case and the military payment case for the sake of the country and the people. How dare the old officials embarrass, let alone the assassination and framing. "

"Is that she framing you!"

Li Ming shouted loudly. He looked at Li Rong, who was kneeling on the ground in a dumb voice, and the feeling of powerlessness that had been suppressed by these veterans for more than ten years suddenly surged. He was angry, and he remembered that Xie Lanqing said that Li Rong had rushed through the servant, thinking of Hua. The white magnolia hairpin on Letou felt that Li Rong was not being bullied on Li Rong, but Xie Lanqing had pressed him to the ground.

"She's a princess," Li Ming raised his finger at Li Rong, "It's my eldest daughter, the queen's prostitute! You repeatedly said that she framed you, said she calculated you, she was 19 years old. The child who arrives, even if you have been in the courtroom for more than 30 years, you have the old fritters?!"

"Your majesty calm down your anger." Xie Lanqing knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, there are too many misunderstandings in this matter."

"Misunderstanding? What's the misunderstanding? You are bullying me and don't dare to do anything to you! I don't have any evidence today. I can bear your tone. Now the evidence is conclusive. You have a misunderstanding in the prison to make it clear! Come," Li Mingda He shouted, "Drag him down and send Yushitai to Pei Wenxuan for trial!"

"Your Majesty..." Dali Temple Secretary Jiang Zheng said anxiously, "Princess Pei Wenxuan is a servant..."

"Why, when you do things, you don't need to say whether it is someone's relatives or not. I have to talk about avoiding suspicions when doing things? Pei Wen announces the trial!"

Li Ming said angrily: "Who dares to say one more thing today, let's drag it down together!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, Pei Wenxuan stood up and respectfully said: "Your majesty calms down, of course it's not appropriate for the Weichen to preside over this matter, it's better to hand it back to the Criminal Ministry."

"Return to the Criminal Ministry?" Li Ming sneered. "Who would dare to interrogate him?"

"Weichen would like to recommend one person." Pei Wenxuan said peacefully. Li Ming listened to Pei Wenxuan's words and said slowly, "Say."

"You servant of the Criminal Department, Pei Liming. This person is my cousin, he is upright and upright. He has been dealing with cases in the Criminal Ministry for many years. He is familiar with criminal law, and he does not avoid relatives in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. I would like to recommend Shi Lang to investigate and handle this case."

Li Ming was silent, and he glanced at Su Rongqing subconsciously.

It stands to reason that Su Rongqing, as the Secretary of the Criminal Department, is more suitable for investigating this case than Pei Liming, but now that the case is sent back to the Criminal Department and Pei Wenxuan's relatives are not allowed to do it, he is afraid that Xie Lanqing's case will not end.

But letting Pei Liming handle the case directly seemed unreasonable, for fear that the Su family would have opinions. Li Mingzheng hesitated, just as Su Rongqing stood up and respectfully said: "The minister agrees. Weichen also thought that Shilang Pei is the right candidate now."
