That's why when faced with Lu Sen's question, she could only face Mrs. Qiao's hateful eyes and raised her head tremblingly: "My lord... I agree with you."

Although Ji Kuan returned to the palace one step earlier and Tong Guang one step later, it was not much slower.

In the Wenhua Palace, Li Shougang, Meng Renping, and Ji Kuan said that Emperor Zong had approved Qiao Qiancheng's invitation to play, and they would return to Beijing soon.

Tongguang returned to the Wenhua Palace to recover his life, and then returned to the East Palace. There were only three people left in the palace, and Chang Qing, who was accompanying him.

"The urgent letter from eight hundred li arrived first, please arrive after the note for returning to Beijing. There was only half an hour in the middle." Li Shou guessed that the letter and the note were set off at the same time, but Qiao Qiancheng arranged them to be one in front of the other. Then pass it into the palace.

"The people who delivered the goods were not the messengers at the post station, but the soldiers under General Qiao." Meng Renping added.

Ji Kuan thought that His Highness and Chi Nan specially emphasized these two points with him, and there must be some meaning, but he thought about it again and again, but he couldn't think of any meaning: "When will General Qiao arrive in Beijing soon?"

Meng Renping was helpless because Ji Kuan couldn't think of it, so he just ignored it and said, "You should ask when is the earliest time for General Qiao to arrive in Beijing."

"When will General Qiao arrive in Beijing at the earliest?" Ji Kuan followed suit.

"The day after tomorrow is the slowest." Meng Renping replied, "Tomorrow is the fastest."

Ji Kuan calculated the distance between the capital and Lingnan, and calculated the fastest horse speed. He finally found a problem: "He didn't set off at the same time as the person delivering the letters and notebooks, did he?"

"Not really." Li Shou shook his head, "He should have set out half a day after the soldiers set off."

Ji Kuan was not surprised at all that His Highness could speak in such detail. After all, in Lingnan, there are also the ears and eyes of the East Palace: "By biting so tightly, he is sure that His Majesty will approve it?"

"My father has always cared about the frontier soldiers. Qiao Qiancheng has lost his children twice. Now everything is well in Lingnan, so there is no reason to refuse his request." Li Shou told the truth.

Meng Renping pointed out Qiao Qiancheng's guilt of leaving the place where he was guarding without permission: "My son is gone, my daughter is gone. I was so sad that I couldn't return home. It's understandable that I was confused for a moment."

"Does Your Majesty know?" The understanding is the understanding, Ji Kuan still has to ask.

"I just don't know now. When General Qiao comes to Beijing, we will know after calculating the time." Meng Renping replied.

Ji Kuan said something and turned to Li Shou: "Does your Highness want to protect General Qiao?"

One of the generals left his post due to private reasons and returned to Beijing without being called.

"General Zhennan is a rare talent in military generals, and he cherishes his talents alone." Li Shou really had this heart.

Ji Kuan wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by the report coming from the door of the palace.

"Commander." It's Bai Zhuo, the guard of the East Palace, who is Ji Kuan's subordinate.

Ji Kuan walked to the palace gate and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Zhuo passed the letter to Fei Ge with both hands: "News just arrived."

Ji Kuan took the bamboo tube as small as a thin tube, pulled out the paper inside, rolled out the rice paper rolled into a thin tube, and scanned the content on it. He turned around and walked quickly into the palace: "Your Highness, something happened to Tu Qian in Lueyang." It's time!"

Mrs. Qiao could no longer suppress Cui Liu, nor could she frighten Cui Liu away from her determination to reveal all the truth. As Lu Sen conducted in-depth interrogation sentence after sentence, Qiao Sang's death soon came to light in the court.Lu Sen closed the case and sentenced Mrs. Qiao's lawsuit to be invalid. Qiao Sang's death was purely accidental and had nothing to do with Xi Yanxi.

Xi Yanchuan was cleared of all charges in court, but she did not have the guts to sue Mrs. Qiao for falsely accusing her. She just thanked Lu Sen with tears of joy.

The other people in the hall couldn't say anything unless they were involved.

Mrs. Qiao's second wife failed to sue, claiming that she didn't know the inside story and pretended to be sorry for Xi Yanwen. Xi Yanwen lowered her eyes and ignored her, and she didn't care either. It was just a show.

Afterwards, she quickly left Jingya.

Lu Sen is the parent officer, Mrs. Qiao wants Xi Yanxi's life to fill Qiao Sang's life. He can see clearly the whole process, but even the defendant doesn't want to turn into the plaintiff, so the case can only be closed here, and the rest give up.

In this way, he is more relaxed.

If Xi Yanwen really wanted to sue Mrs. Qiao, he would have to go to court tomorrow and sue her back and forth. As long as the Meng family didn't interfere in the process, he actually didn't care.

Jingya accepts many cases of injustice in various parts of the Wei Dynasty every year. As the chief official, it is his duty to resolve cases.

Therefore, if Xi Yanwen wants to sue Mrs. Qiao, he can continue to go to court, but when Qiao Qiancheng returns to Beijing for trial, he will have to deal with Qiao Qiancheng.

To be honest, when he rarely interacted with Qiao Qiancheng and only had a few interactions, he felt that Qiao Qiancheng and Zhu Xiye might be long-lost biological brothers. They were as stubborn as a head. ox.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel lucky that Xi Yanchuan didn't want to sue.

Meng Shisan promised that Cuiliu would save her life, so after the truth came out and witnessed by Lu Sen, she bought Cuiliu's family of three in court.

Mrs. Qiao Er didn't agree at first, but under Lu Sen's pressure and after she vaguely mentioned that she hadn't settled the blame for Qiao Sang knocking her off the bridge, Mrs. Qiao Er couldn't help but nod.

After walking out of the capital office, Meng Shisan asked Kite, who had returned from Quexian Tower, to follow Mrs. Qiao to Qiao's Mansion: "Go and take Cuiliu's wife out of Qiao's Mansion. The three members of Cuiliu's family have a bond, and don't forget to follow her." Second Mrs. Qiao, take the orb and give the silver note to Kite."

"No." Kite remembered.

Baozhu handed the 100-tael silver note to Kite.

The body deed of Cuiliu's family is not a death deed for a child born in the Qiao family, but a life deed with a limited number of years. Cuiliu's parents sold themselves into slavery due to difficulties in making a living when Cuiliu was young. .

This was also one of the reasons why Mrs. Qiao didn't kill her immediately or kill Cui Liu with determination.

As for the three people selling it to Meng Shisan for 100 taels, this was because Mrs. Qiao Er was under pressure from both sides, Lu Sen and Meng Shisan. She really had to sell and angrily raised the price. Meng Shisan did not bargain with Mrs. Qiao Er. , happily settled the deal with the 13 taels that Mrs. Qiao said.

When Mrs. Qiao Er faced Meng Shisan, she ordered Kite to immediately follow her to pick up the person, and even handed over the money with one hand and the contract with the other. Although she was not angry, she was witnessed by Lu Sen in court, and she did not even have a chance to regret it. !
Finally, with a cold snort, she got on Qiao's car with an ugly face.

Kite jumped into the carriage unceremoniously and sat with Qiao's coachman.

When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she was really angry. She slapped her palm on the car wall in annoyance: "That's too much!"

To say that bullying is too much, the second wife of the Qiao family, in order to cover up her fault of not taking good care of her niece, forced the innocent Miss Xi to die. This is the real bullying.
