Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 83
"Whose dagger belongs to you?"

Feng Lin asked, pointing to the murder weapon covered in blood on the ground.

"Wu Sheng's!" Jiang He answered first.

"It's mine...but Jiang He took it from me!"

Wu Sheng was also frightened and stared at Jiang He.

Feng Lin told himself not to be nervous and to wait until Sister Luo and the master arrived:
"You two, don't move, just wait here!"

Feng Lin didn't dare to move and stayed here while the other boys in the school gathered around and watched from a distance.

The three were deadlocked.

Luo Ning received the report and heard that it was Anyang Academy. Isn't that Feng Lin's academy?

He asked the little boy nervously: "How is Feng Lin?"

"It's okay, sir. Feng Lin is fine. The deceased's name is Song Dian. There are two suspects now, one is named Wu Sheng and the other is Jiang He."

Luo Ning didn't dare to waste time, so he called the Sizhi and Song Zhu'er, and hurriedly ordered:

"Wei Sizhi, go to Beizhen Fusi to find Mr. Qin and ask him to bring someone to Anyang Academy to find me."

Meng Xiao heard the words of the boy who reported the case, and then remembered the Linglong case. In order to find evidence, everyone ignored Anji and missed the best opportunity to rescue Linglong!
So he said: "My lord, if there are witnesses, it is better to arrest the suspect, so as not to miss the opportunity."

Luo Ning understood:
"In this case, let Mr. Jinyiwei go directly to arrest people! Feng Lin is there and can handle everything!"

Wu Sheng and Jiang He were captured by Qin Zhao and Lu Yuan and taken into Dali Temple.

Dong Mingfeng and Feng Lin took Song Dian's body to Yizhuang.

At this time, news of the incident in Anyang Academy had spread throughout Anyang City.

Song Dian's father was a Tongyi doctor under the Ministry of Rites. Although he was a fourth-rank official, he was very happy in the court.

He heard that his son was killed in school and the suspect had been caught.

Without pausing for a moment, he entered the palace to meet the emperor and demanded severe punishment for the murderer.

When the emperor heard this, he could not tolerate this matter and wrote a note to Luo Ning: "The murderer must be severely punished."

Song Dian's father then took the emperor's autographed letter to Dali Temple and handed it to Luo Ning.

Luo Ning took it and looked at it, feeling a little unhappy. Whether he got the emperor's letter or not, he would handle the case wholeheartedly. With the emperor's letter, he felt a bit pressured.

He reluctantly took it and said to Song Dian's father: "Don't worry, sir, I will do my best to solve the case."

Here Wu Sheng's father learned that his son was arrested in the school, and he was also furious. This son is a bit domineering on weekdays, but which boy didn't grow up playing around.

He didn't think his son would kill anyone, so Wu Sheng's father went to see Prince Feng.

Prince Feng had the best relationship with Emperor Zhao Ziyin. When all the other brothers were exiled, he was the only one who stayed in Anyang City.

Why can Prince Feng stay in Anyang City?

Because he only eats and drinks all day long, he is not a threat to any prince. When several brothers competed for the throne, he was the only one who had no intention of taking that position.

He was on good terms with Zhao Ziyin and was eating, drinking and having fun behind his back, so the late emperor was optimistic about this son. He had no intention of seizing the legitimate heir and was more tolerant of him.

The late emperor abdicated, and Zhao Ziyin left him as his second brother. The two of them could be considered brothers.

Besides, Prince Feng really doesn't want to be on the throne, he feels tired, what's so good about being an emperor, he's not free, and he's worried.

I really don't understand what the seventh brother King Mu was thinking. He was exiled to Mobei for the throne.

Wu Sheng's father found Prince Feng. He was drinking tea at the Prince's Mansion. When he heard the purpose of his visit, Prince Feng became angry:

"Is this okay? How could that kid Wu Sheng kill someone? He's playing the piano randomly in Dali Temple. I'll go find the emperor!"

In this way, Prince Feng brought Sima from his residence and Wu Sheng's father also came to the imperial study.

Zhao Ziyin took a look and saw that he was the victim and a suspect. He didn't care about Sanqi 21 and wrote another letter to Luo Ning: "The truth must be found out."

Zhao Ziyin thought to himself: Anyway, his Lord Luo will definitely solve the case well, so he should do this favor himself.

Zhao Ziyin smiled and handed the letter to Prince Feng: Haha, no one can be offended.

Wu Sheng took the emperor's letter and rushed to Dali Temple with a good heart.

Before the trial started, the second letter from the emperor was handed into Luo Ning's hands. Luo Ning laughed angrily at the emperor's actions: The emperor still knows how to behave!
Before the next step could be taken, the sound of drums was heard outside the Dali Temple: dong dong dong.

Dengwengu! ! !
Luo Ning stood up, what is this Dengwen drum?It was a redress of grievances at the opening of the Dali Temple trial.

If a murder case is involved, if the suspect is dissatisfied with the outcome of the trial, or if the person involved feels that the case was unjust or wrong, the case can be sounded.

This was the first time that Dengwen Drum was played when Luo Ning came to Dali Temple.

Qin Zhao and the officials of Dali Temple heard the sound and ran out.

Qin Zhao asked Luo Ning: "What happened?"

Luo Ning frowned: "Someone is beating the Dengwen drum. If you guess correctly, it should be Jiang He's father!"

It's lively now.

The person who sounded the drum was indeed Jiang He's father. He was a butcher who sold pork at the market. He was tall and burly, with a sinister face and looked very domineering.

Seeing people walking out of Dali Temple, Jiang and his father put down their drumsticks and said to the people watching:
"Everyone comments, my son was wrongly accused of murder in school and has been arrested and taken to Dali Temple. I hope a trial will be held. We are ordinary people and cannot be wronged!"

When the people watching heard this, they were incited, yes, how could the people be wronged? They all clenched their fists and shouted loudly:

"Yes, we can't let the government bully others!"

“It’s only fair to open a trial in Dali Temple!”

Seeing that Jiang He's father had achieved his goal: "I have no other request, a trial! My son will never kill someone!"

Qin Zhao wanted to go out to stop him, but was pulled back by Luo Ning. Luo Ning promised the onlookers and Jiang He's father:

"It's okay to hold a joint trial. The trial hall of Dali Temple will be open to everyone in a quarter of an hour. However, today we are just looking for evidence and may not necessarily get the final result. Please cooperate with Dali Temple and maintain the order of the trial!"

Jiang and his father calmed down and nodded in agreement:

"As long as the adults don't bully others and the officials protect each other, I will never cause trouble. But if my son is wronged, don't blame me for burning down this Dali Temple!"

Luo Ning shook his head, it's so troublesome!
He turned around and said to Meng Xiao:

"Meng Sizhi, go to Yizhuang quickly, get Song Dian's autopsy report back, and bring Feng Lin back!"

When Yao Huan and Wei Yan heard that a trial was about to be held, they hurried to tidy up the trial hall of Dali Temple. It had not been used for a long time. People gradually gathered and surrounded the entrance of the hall.

This is the first time that Dali Temple has opened the questioning session to the public. There is no evidence at all. What should we do if something unexpected happens during the trial?
Yao Huan and Wei Yan both felt worried for Luo Ning.

A quarter of an hour later, the court hall of Dali Temple was cleaned up.

Meng Xiao hadn't come back yet, so Luo Ning had no choice but to hold court.

Song Dian's father and Wu Sheng's father stood on the left side of the hall because of their official positions, and Jiang He was a commoner, but because of the special case, Luo Ning also allowed him to stand on the right side of the hall.

"Open the hall!"

Luo Ning gave an order, and Jiang He and Wu Sheng were brought to the hall.
