Married a proud husband after farming

Chapter 713
In the early court, Eunuch Zhao moved a carved chair for Rong Jiu as usual.

Rong Jiu said with a smile: "I have to work for my father-in-law, why not bring another table, and it would be best to make another pot of tea."

Eunuch Zhao turned his head to look at Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu nodded his head, Eunuch Zhao quickly asked someone to move the table over, and asked the maid to serve hot tea.

Baiguan was dumbfounded.

His Majesty loves the Ninth Princess so much, it's no wonder that she is confident and shows her sharpness.

After the table case was brought over, Rong Jiu put the box on it, only then did the officials realize that she brought a box with her.

Eunuch Zhao glanced curiously: "Princess, what's in it?"

Rong Jiu sipped his tea and smiled slightly: "Elder-in-law might as well open it up and have a look."

Eunuch Zhao opened it and took two steps back in fright, almost losing his mind.

With a pale face, he pointed to the box, still terrified: "Princess, princess, you, you,"

Seeing that Eunuch Zhao was terrified, all the officials became more and more curious about what was in the box. Prime Minister Xiao already knew about it, and at this moment, his face was as gloomy as water.

"Eunuch,"

Rong Jiu closed the box, smiled at Eunuch Zhao, and motioned him to come forward.

The terrified look on Eunuch Zhao's face did not fade, and he slowly approached: "Princess, princess,"

Rong Jiu lowered his voice and said apologetically, "I was also afraid that I would move out suddenly later and scare my father. My father is wise and mighty. If I was frightened by a human head, wouldn't it damage my majesty, so I can only Let the father-in-law be shocked, don't worry, the father-in-law will take care of you because you were shocked in place of the emperor."

Eunuch Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, and then reported to Emperor Chu, who turned his face to look at her, and for a moment, looked down on all the officials.

Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides, holding their breath.

"Shen Qing," Emperor Chu said slowly, "The Xue family's old case has already been investigated and found out?"

Shen Cheng stepped out, cupped his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, yes."

"Who is the real culprit?"

"Xiao Jue."

Those two words sounded like thunder, causing a small commotion.

"Oh?" Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows lightly, and turned his eyes to Prime Minister Xiao, "The Xiao family has been a minister for many generations, and is my most important minister. If Shen Qing talks nonsense, what will happen?"

"It's just one death." Shen Cheng's eyes were as calm as a deep lake, and he said calmly, "The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. No truth should be buried. Your majesty and what I said are all nonsense."

"Master Shen," Prime Minister Xiao said in a deep voice, with the majesty of a courtier, and said coldly, "You said that Jueer is the real murderer, and I would like to hear the details."

Shen Cheng presented the evidence and slowly explained the old case: "Ten years ago, Xiao Jue fell in love with Xue Ying and asked the servants around him to tie her back. He gave the Xue family a hundred taels of silver and threatened the Xue family to settle the matter, but Xue's father came to Dali Temple to sue the Xiao family. Master Huang was afraid of offending the Xiao family, so he suppressed the case and went to the Xiao family to inform the Xiao family. , Let the hidden guards pinch the neck bones of the Xue family, and then pour poison into Xue Ying."

When the officials heard this, they were startled, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

Prime Minister Xiao snorted coldly, "These are just Mr. Shen's conjectures."

Shen Cheng said in a calm manner: "The confessions of Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Wang can prove that what I said is not false. The Xue family died of a broken neck bone. This point has also been verified by the Ministry of Punishment. The facts of the case back then were nothing more than the Xiao family framing Xue Ying to cover up their crimes."
