I, Han Gaozu, actually traveled through Song Gaozong?

Chapter 156 The real murderer
Xin Ciying is not very familiar with Wang Xiaoer.

But if you are not acquainted, you are not acquainted, this family has a very close relationship with the emperor, not to mention that his sister is a woman in the palace, just talk about Ji Wu who was hung in front of the Yuefu...

But he had already learned the news in advance that it was another emperor who did this. According to Xin Ciying's thinking, even if the officials didn't want to let it go, he had to help him let it go. That's why he begged the officials to spare his elder brother's life at the beginning.

The old man knew it all too well. Ever since his brain was injured, Zhao Guan's whole personality had changed. He said many things he dared not say and did many things he dared not do.This includes the Jin people, as well as their group of literati.

Even though he didn't want to admit it to Emperor Xiaociyuan, Xin Ciying always felt that...the officials could do it, and they could do it.

Plus this morning, the official statement...

The upright Lord Xin suddenly became a little discouraged. Wang Xiaoer's appearance undoubtedly added a large bundle of dry firewood to the officials who had already ignited their anger.

For a moment, facing the young man who had been bowing in front of the hall, Xin Ciying completely lost the seriousness he had treated the group of Qiuba before. This person just gave his name, and the Yin of Lin'an Prefecture was already embarrassed there, unable to advance or retreat.

Not to mention Wang Xiaoer, even the spectators outside were a little curious... Fu Zun seemed to be unable to speak suddenly. Some people speculated that he was communicating with Bao Gong, and some saw that Wang Xiaoer was familiar with him, so they pointed out that he was the delirious Sibeilou family.

But in short, it's not a problem to be so suppressed. Everyone prepared such a stage excitedly.

Xin Ciying cleared his throat and persuaded softly:
"You go to the back hall and wait first. After the government has finished interrogating other people, can you come and listen to your case?"

Wang Xiaoer's mind is simple, but he is also prone to offences:

"Fu Zun Mingjian, knowing that you are being promoted here, the villain rushed over immediately... Everyone is queuing up, why do you want the villain to wait?"

"What the villain wants to talk about is not a petty matter of sneaking around, but a real, life-threatening matter! Your Majesty... please, please make the decision for the villain!"

One advantage of this Yaqian hall is that it is big enough.

It is so loud that everyone's voice can echo in the past, so that everyone can hear clearly enough.

Everyone only heard that what he was going to talk about was a murder case, and they couldn't help becoming agitated... The soldiers brought by Wang Xie not only took money, but even took people's lives!

Since Emperor Zhao came to Lin'an City, the law and order is of course the first in the Song Dynasty. It is terrible to hear some fights and fights on weekdays, let alone life lawsuits.

For a while, they all whispered to each other again.

Xin Ciying secretly glanced at the emperor next to him, but saw that he was just wiping his sweat on his own, as if he didn't care about what happened behind him at all... Thinking that the officials said that even if he wanted to make a move, he would not choose to make a move today, the old man had some confidence.

He faced Wang Xiaoer and said:

"This government decides the case, and it has its own reasons. My son, don't talk too much, it will waste other people's time."

At the same time, he called the messengers on both sides:
"Let's take him to the back hall to wait first. After this matter is over, the government will look for him."

The crowd didn't know the identity of this person, so after Xin Ciying's words, two people stood up, holding Wang Xiaoer's arms, and wanted to take him outside.

Thinking of Ji Wu's body still hanging at the door of the Yue Mansion, but he couldn't even collect it, and thinking of his father's instructions when he went out...

After all, he was still a young man. For a moment, he was helpless, confused, wronged, sad, and many emotions came to his heart. He finally shouted:

"Fu Zun defends the villain! That Xiang Guangshi killed my elder brother, that Xiang Guangshi killed my elder brother!"

He kept screaming, as if he was afraid that Xin Ciying wouldn't be able to hear him clearly, and he was crying at the same time, which really looked a little pitiful.

"slow!"

Xin Ciying had already stood up from the first sentence he yelled, beckoned to the two of them, and brought in Wang Xiaoer, who had already reached the door, and before putting down the gavel in his hand, he pointed at Wang Xiaoer with that thing and said:

"You said... the person who killed your brother was Xiang Guangshi?"

Wang Xiaoer had already knelt down and kowtowed to him several times:
"It's Xiang Guangshi, it's Xiang Guangshi, this happened in Yue Shaobao's mansion, and everyone in the mansion testifies!"

Xin Ciying breathed a sigh of relief. Although everyone didn't know why he made such a gesture, they really saw his relieved expression.

Seeing that the emperor was still facing away from him, Xin Ciying's mentality suddenly changed drastically. If it was the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan, then this matter could not be done, at least not now.

But if the person involved is that Xiang Guangshi... Xin Ciying can't wait to do it right away, do it quickly, do it quickly.

He slapped the gavel on the table with a 'pop' sound, and Xin Ciying turned into a blue sky again, as if possessed by Duke Bao.

"Wang Xiaoer, let's talk about your grievances in detail, don't miss any details!"

"If what you said is true, the government will give you justice!"

Wang Xiaoer hastily made several bows, and then sobbed, telling all about the situation in Yue's mansion yesterday.

It turned out that Ji Wu felt that he had warded off a disaster for Yue Shaobao's family last time, so he always regarded himself as the guardian of Yue's mansion... He has been naughty for a long time, and it can be regarded as finding a mission for himself.

After being beaten by Zhao Shicheng before healed up, he learned the news of Lin'an City's change of sky from Wang Xiaoer's mouth. As a result, he couldn't sit still anymore, and went to Yuefu to guard whenever he had time.

But he was alone, able to guard the day, but not the night, thinking that there was no business anyway, so he wanted to persuade Wang Xiaoer to come with him, and the two took turns. Wang Xiaoer was reluctant at first, but Ji Wudong showed his affection and reasoned, and finally brought out his brother-in-law:
"You have to think about it, we are sharing the effort with the emperor's brother-in-law... Even if we want to reward your daughter-in-law in the future, or give me a general to do it, it can't be rewarded for nothing, there must always be a reason."

"Everyone says 'you don't get paid for nothing'. We are helping Marshal Yue and earning a future for ourselves. That's what the fuck is called..."

"Just call the teacher famous!"

Regardless of whether the words were true or false, he finally convinced Wang Xiaoer. He himself stayed at night, and Wang Xiaoer stayed at daytime.

It was early yesterday...it was winter, it was always easy to be trapped in bed, so Wang Xiaoer got up late, and was thinking about handing over to Ji Wu, when he met Zhao Huan and his party who were going to visit.

"Damn it, it's still here!"

When Ji Wu saw between them, the dwarf was still following... He immediately identified the identities of these people. Although he didn't know who they were, they must be demons and ghosts who had no choice but to run away.

Thinking of this, he took Wang Xiaoer and turned in through the back door... According to Ji Wu's thinking, he originally wanted to stop Mrs. Yao Tai and the others directly, but Wang Xiaoer thought a little more.

So, the two temporarily hid behind the wall and listened secretly.

Seeing that Mrs. Yao Tai was more polite to the leader than Zhao Shicheng, Ji Wu took a sneak peek while thinking,
That dwarf is a golden man, Mrs. Yao Tai is upright, why did she act in a completely different way this time?
Without waiting for him to think too much, he heard the leader say again:
"I've heard for a long time that Yue Shaobao has a mother like Meng's mother. Looking at it today, it is indeed true."

"Yue Shaobao served the country, I have long wanted to get to know him, but unfortunately the situation is overwhelming, so it has not been successful for a long time... If he had followed me back then..."

The man shook his head and didn't continue, but he said '望', and Ji Wu already knew his identity.

This is the eldest brother who returned from the north to the south, the former emperor of the Great Song Dynasty.

When he came here, Ji Wu already had plans to withdraw. After all, this person is not Zhao Shicheng, he is already the emperor, and the neighbors all said that he will be the Supreme Emperor in the future, the Supreme Emperor!Bigger than an emperor!

Thinking about it, he probably wouldn't have done anything to Yue's family, but just as he moved his body, he heard him say to Mrs. Yao:
"Ming people don't speak dark words. I really like Peng's tightness. I wonder if Mrs. Tai would like to introduce me?"

Originally, Mrs. Yao Tai didn't have any other thoughts when she came here, but after hearing this sentence, she seemed to understand something.

Plus the dwarf who was following him...

The old lady smiled and said: "Even if the old man is willing, he is not in Lin'an now... If you want to see him, you can see him when you come back after he has driven all the Jin people out."

Scholars like to talk in circles, and blunt speech has always been disrespectful and indecent.

Zhao Huan is also a scholar, so he naturally wouldn't think Mrs. Yao could not understand what he meant, so he simply changed his tone and said:
"Madam Yao, can I ask you a question?"

Mrs. Tai nodded: "Just ask."

"Do you think it's better for Yue Shaobao to follow me, or to follow Ninth Brother?"

This is almost blunt, Mrs. Yao Tai knows her son's temperament... He has something he wants to insist on, so it is impossible for him to choose between the two emperors.

For Yue Fei, these two people are both kings and masters, and they both have to respect those who are loyal and obedient. Even if there is some emphasis, they will not be too biased.

But... now this guy is obviously here to force him to stand in line, Mrs. Yao Tai thought for a while, and finally made a decision.

In other words, it was the mother who made the decision for her son.

"It's better for him to stay by Ming Jun's side."

Zhao Huan stared into her eyes: "Who is Ming Jun?"

"Right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, merits and demerits, honor and disgrace, the world has long since come to a conclusion, why do you ask why you know it?"

For some reason, the old lady's plain words aroused the long-lost self-esteem in Emperor Xiaociyuan's heart, and he blushed a little. If he hadn't been reminded in his mind to be decent, perhaps at this time, he would have lost his composure.

"You mean, I don't know?"

Mrs. Yao Tai was leaning on crutches, she didn't answer him, but she already spoke the answer.

"Mrs. Tai, you have gone too far."

"Even though Yue Shaobao has great achievements, you shouldn't say that about me."

Mrs. Yao Tai lowered her head, drooping her head, as if she really said something wrong, but her tone was still firm:

"The emperor in the Jingkang period was not the official family after all."

"you……"

Seeing that he seemed to be really angry, Ji Wu couldn't bear it anymore, and stood in front of Mrs. Tai just like last time.

As soon as he appeared, Zhao Huan, who was originally not prone to seizures, had an opening to vent, and what happened next... everyone knew.

Wang Xiaoer deliberately concealed some details about Ji Wu and Zhao Huan, but Liu Bang, who had been listening by the side, knew that Ji Wu must have said nothing good.

And Wang Xiaoer didn't have the scheming to hide it for the two of them, so someone must have taught him what he said.

Thinking of this, he still didn't show up, but hid behind the policeman on the left, watching and listening silently.

The emperor thought about it, and Xin Ciying also thought about it, but it is rare for someone to be charged with the crime of Emperor Xiaociyuan... To be precise, he can be charged with the crime of murdering the emperor's brother. He thought for a while and asked:

"As you said, it was Xiang Guangshi who killed your elder brother."

Wang Xiaoer kowtowed again: "The villain dare not hide it, that's right!"

Xin Ciying handed a token to the person next to him:

"Someone bring Xiang Guangshi over here!"

The leader of the Western Army was one of the most famous figures in the Great Song Dynasty earlier last year. Although he offended the emperor for some reason and even changed his surname, after all, his contacts and reputation were there for many years. Except for Zhao Guanjia, no one dared to really treat him as a grassroots.

At this moment, seeing that the former Duke was involved in this murder case, this is no longer a few big-headed soldiers. On the one hand, he rejoiced that he did not come in vain, and was able to see that man being tried, and on the other hand, he was once again convinced that the Lin'an government office was for real.

It's not a show.

Not long after, when Xiang Guangshi was invited to this mansion, he first saw Wang Xiaoer beside him.

He was a little startled, and asked quickly:

"I don't know what's the important thing for you to call me here?!"

Xin Ciying slapped the gavel to calm the onlookers outside, and then shouted:

"Xiang Guangshi, you careless about human life, can you be convicted?!"

After all, he has seen big scenes before, so Xiang Guangshi just bowed his hands:

"Where did this come from?"

Xin Ciying only thought, after all, he did it for the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan, so only that one could save his life.

He's not an idiot either, if he wasn't involved, he might still have a chance, but if he was involved, no one in the world would save him.

In this way, Xinfu Yin repeated what Wang Xiaoer said before, and Xiang Guangshi's eyes widened when he heard it.

When he finished speaking, Xiang Guangshi was already very upset. He wanted to arrest Wang Xiaoer, but was put on the ground by the officers on both sides, unable to move any more.

"Xiang Guangshi! Above the court, do you still want to mess around?!"

"It's none of my business, none of my business!"

He soon blushed too, and looked at Wang Xiaoer in disbelief while talking:
"Why are you so innocent? Other than the old man, no one pleaded for mercy for your brother that day. Why, now, you sue the old man?!"

The eagle who played with the eagle all his life was finally pecked by the eagle. This sentence could not be more suitable to describe Xiang Guangshi.

He has done bad things all his life, and he finally did a good thing. Not only was he not thanked by others, but he got himself into trouble all over.

Good people don't get rewarded, it's so fucking reasonable!

But Wang Xiaoer didn't even dare to look at him, and buried his face elsewhere, looking at their appearance, Liu Bang already knew most of it in his heart.

On the contrary, Xin Ciying didn't pay much attention to it. Ten out of ten people who came here said that they were wronged. If Xiang Guangshi could subdue the law so easily, he would not be Xiang Guangshi.

"Then let you die to understand!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiaoer again and said:
"What you said before, everyone in the Yue Mansion can testify, is this true?"

Wang Xiaoer bowed and said, "It's absolutely true."

"Please come over from the Yue Mansion!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaoer didn't change his words, Xiang Guangshi was extremely angry:

"You are such a snake-hearted person! The old man gave up his face when he was like this, just to ask your brother to be safe! He died, what has the old man to do with it?"

"Zhuzi repays kindness with grievances, isn't he afraid of retribution?"

Looking at Xin Ciying again:
"Even if the officials believe in you in every possible way, you won't be allowed to act recklessly. Looking at the 'fairness and integrity' on your head, you must know that this Lin'an Mansion is not yours!"

"Wherever this lawsuit goes, the old man has to accompany me, so don't think about insulting someone without evidence!"

"A certain family has been the country for generations, even if it is useless, it will be suffering. If you dare to act recklessly, the officials will not let you go!"

"The sky is shining, the sky is shining!"

No wonder he was so excited, it was the feeling of being stabbed in the back, it was really uncomfortable.

What's more, he is still innocent and has done good things.

After a while, Mrs. Yao Tai was also invited over. Seeing that more and more people were involved, even Yue Shaobao's mother had arrived, everyone was extremely looking forward to this case.

According to word of mouth, the people who have been holding back for almost a month and have no place to entertain themselves finally found the first fun thing this year.

All of a sudden, there were more and more people watching the excitement outside the government office, and many people were rushing here. Some people saw the situation in front, and then told the people behind, one by one, but no one was left behind, and they all got involved.

Li Wa helped Mrs. Tai, Xin Ciying hurriedly took the chair over, and did not dare to sit up, but asked face to face:
"Mrs. Tai, do you know this person?"

She glanced at Wang Xiaoer: "Don't hide it from the Master, I know it."

"That's good! May I ask Mrs. Tai, this person said that his elder brother was beaten to death in the Yue Mansion, do you know if there is such a thing?"

"That's true."

"Is that person next to you?"

Mrs. Yao Tai sat on a chair, half-bowed, and looked at Xiang Guangshi carefully.

The old man is already very old, actually not much younger than his mother-in-law, at this moment he looked at her with hope:
"Look, there was only one person in your house that day who spoke the truth?"

Xin Ci yelled angrily: "Don't disturb the old lady's mind, if you dare to talk too much, I will serve you with a powerful stick!"

Mrs. Yao Tai watched for a while, and finally sat up straight:
"No."

"Did you hear that, Xiang Guangshi, how dare you be cunning..."

Before the word "sophistry" was finished, Xin Ciying froze in place.

Instead, Xiang Guangshi heard it and couldn't stop thanking him:

"You know, you know!"

Liu Bang looked at the number one mother in the world, and this was the first time he saw her.

He already had calculations in his mind, and he probably knew what they meant.

The man handed over the knife after it had been sharpened, and it would be too impolite if he didn't say anything.

Although Xin Ciying was a bit dull, he finally sensed something was wrong, and said with a forced face:

"Mrs. Tai, take a closer look. This is the murderer personally identified by Wang Xiaoer. Don't be mistaken."

Mrs. Yao Tai looked at Wang Xiaoer:
"is it him?"

Wang Xiaoer looked at Xiang Guangshi, the latter's man-eating eyes were indeed a little scary, he quickly moved his eyes away, and bowed to Xin Ci:
"Thanks to Mrs. Tai for reminding... It seems that it is not."

Xin Ciying felt that he was being tricked. The old man had a bad temper, so he pulled Wang Xiaoer by the collar:

"There is no room for you to play tricks in this court!"

"It wasn't Xiang Guangshi, the one who killed your brother..."

He stopped talking halfway.

He looked at Wang Xiaoer and finally understood.

This person is not a fool, he knows that if he wants to sue Emperor Xiaociyuan, no one in the world will dare to accept it except the officials.

The same is true for Lin'an Mansion, no matter if they don't know how to do it, if they don't dare, for Zhao Huan's sake, or for the officials' sake, no matter if they are loyal ministers or treacherous ministers, no matter which side they stand on, they will not accept this matter.

Take it, Zhao Huan's life is a minor matter, and the official family has really become the emperor spurned by the world. Even in 100 or 1000 years, someone will bring this matter up, and it will become a black spot that the official family will never erase.

Therefore, Wang Xiaoer made a false accusation from the beginning, and Xiang Guangshi was indeed innocent.

This person's purpose was originally on the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan.

Xin Ciying wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"This case is full of doubts, first, let's postpone it for the time being, and try it again at another day!"

Everyone saw that Mrs. Yao Tai testified for Xiang Guangshi instead, they all wanted to see who the real culprit was, but they didn't want to wait for such a word from the Fu Zun.

All of a sudden, the discussion sounded again.

Xiang Guangshi was happy to see him deflated, knowing that the person he didn't want to offend, and couldn't afford to offend, was innocent at this moment, so he broke free from his captors and stood up:
"Why, what is Xinfu Yin worried about?"

"The suspect is an old man, so you have to take it. Now you don't even ask who the real culprit is, so you have to wait for another trial."

"Could it be that you have an acquaintance with the real murderer, and you deliberately cover it up?!"

Xin Ciying stared at Xiang Guangshi. After all, he had never done anything wrong, and now he finally did it once, and someone pointed it out.

For a while, I didn't know what to say.

Fortunately... with a hand on his shoulder, Liu Bang said in a low voice:
"The common people regard you as the blue sky, you can't smash your own signboard."

"The official family..."

"Don't worry about others, just be fair."

Xiang Guangshi looked at the emperor dressed up by someone, and never missed him so much like now, and when Wang Xiaoer saw him, he wanted to talk to him, but he was a little scared...

Both of them were a little hesitant, and they were caught in a contradiction.

Liu Bang looked at Wang Xiaoer:
"Whoever killed your brother, tell the real culprit."

"Sister...Your Majesty..."

Wang Xiaoer burst into tears, but found that the emperor supported him and made him stand up straight.

"Speak, speak louder, for all to hear."

Xiang Guangshi's heart was in his throat... He didn't expect that when he saw this man again, he didn't even enter the imperial city, so he went straight to tear his face.

"Your Majesty, Dad told me to take good care of Fifth Brother...it's my fault, it's all my fault!"

Hearing him mention the old king's head, Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder:

"It's okay, I don't blame you, just tell me, I will make the decision for you."

Wang Xiaoer wiped away tears:

"Yes Yes Yes……"

He hesitated for a while, and seeing the look in his brother-in-law's eyes, he finally shouted:

"It's the emperor, the Holy Emperor Xiaociyuan!"

Without waiting for the people outside to make noise, Liu Bang said loudly:

"There is only one emperor, the person you mentioned..."

"Yes, Zhao Huan!"

Everyone heard it, everyone heard it.

Xin Ciying felt that he had lost his strength again, and looked at the emperor with some worry.
