Chapter 143

"Uncle." Zhao Zhiting looked at Ding Guogong helplessly, "I can't help you with this matter. Since the Holy Majesty issued an imperial decree on this matter, you have to obey it if you don't."

Duke Ding waved his hands. Of course his own daughter was married and had children long ago. There are also two granddaughters in the mansion, one twelve and one thirteen.

The 13-year-old grandson girl is the most beautiful and the most favored in the mansion.

Before he came, his daughter-in-law, son and granddaughter had caused him a real headache, and he was reluctant to send his granddaughter to the remote village in Annan.

In Fengyang, even if you marry a farmer, you can go to Annan, after all, you can go home.

"Even if uncle begs you, when you go back this time, you must explain a few words to the sage." Duke Ding made up his mind, "Besides, your two younger sisters are betrothed, if we Wouldn't it be inhumane and unrighteous to ruin a marriage, which is not good."

Of course Zhao Zhiting knew what Duke Ding meant. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want to.

"Grandpa, I..." Zhao Zhiting was about to speak, when suddenly a servant woman ran in and replied, "Your Highness, my little Highness is choking on milk, and Madam is crying anxiously, let you go and see."

Zhao Zhiting stood up abruptly, clasped fists with Duke Ding, and said, "Grandpa, write your own notes and go home."

With that said, the man left.

"Zhiting, when are you going back?" Duke Ding asked.

Zhao Zhiting said as he walked, "I'll go back after a hundred days, or he won't be able to bear the fatigue of the journey."

Dingguo curled his lips, the concubine was still undecided, so he hid in Fengyang and secretly gave birth to the eldest son, what will happen to this heir in the future...

"Forget it, don't care about him. I'll go back and write a book for the Holy One. We are all one family. He can't cheat me. I treated him so well back then. He couldn't live without me. If he couldn't survive, what kind of emperor would he be? .”

Duke Dingguo walked away chattering.

Every yamen in the court has a canteen. Officials can pay to eat in the canteen, or they can have their family deliver the food. Xu Li is a high-ranking person, and he doesn't bother to go to the canteen to eat, and it's not convenient to appear in that kind of place. Sitting in the yamen's room to eat, just put down the chopsticks, an official who had something to do hurriedly ran over, "My lord, there is a quarrel in the dining hall."

"What are you arguing about?" Xu Li wiped his mouth calmly and looked at the person who was going about it.

Limu looked a little excited. He had never read a book. Although he worked in the Yamen, he was a low-level official. He admired the civil servants because they were all people who had read poetry and books. But today he has opened his eyes. , because these people who have read poetry and books quarreled.

Literati quarrels can also reveal that they are well-read poetry and books, because there are no dirty words in cursing.

"They are arguing about Princess Hou Song." Li Mu replied: "Isn't the Su family from Yingjinxiufang imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice? One side said that the Su family is just a little embroidered lady in Pingjiang Mansion, and the origin of her ancestral home has been clearly checked, so she is not a princess at all."

"It's an insult to gentleness." Xu Liren said: "When the evidence is found out, everything will be clear."

Xu Liren knew Su Jin. Think about it, there is probably no one in this capital who does not know Su Jin.

This woman not only has the ability to do business, but also has the audacity to confront Zhao Dong in order to avenge some sister. In the end... Zhao Dong was really pulled down by her.

Just pull it down, Zhao Dong escaped and held a person from a school hostage.

She took more than a dozen female dolls, fought with a bunch of dead men, and killed Zhao Dong.

This ability, even a man can't do it.

"It's insulting to the gentleman." Xu Liren said: "It's just a woman, but for a woman..." Before he finished speaking, another official came in and said: "My lord, there is a move in the dining hall. I don't know what happened, Yong Jiabo also came, copied a guy and smashed the head of an adult in the household department, and immediately opened the scoop, and everyone rolled up their sleeves and started fighting."

"It's an insult to gentleness!" Xu Liren was furious, "Where is Habayashi Wei, go fight."

Xu Liren rushed to the dining hall after speaking.

"A few letters, two assassins of unknown origin, and you just convict a little girl at random. You are contemptuous of the law. You have read sage books in vain, and you are ashamed of this monthly court salary."

"Those two assassins confessed with their own mouths. There are witnesses and evidence, what is a random conviction."

"Yes. The presence of witnesses is enough. Besides, the Ministry of Criminal Conviction has not yet interrogated. What are you making a fuss about now? I think you have selfish intentions, and I don't know how much benefit you have received."

"Fart!" Someone said, "This is called fairness. Do you understand fairness? It's not something you people who see the wind and waves can understand."

"Shut up, all of you." Xu Liren stood at the door and shouted, "Look at what you look like now, how decent you are!"

The good canteen was smashed into a mess, the food was scattered all over the floor, dozens of officials were divided into two groups, and they were very noisy. If you don’t know that this is the imperial canteen, you may think it’s food at first glance. market.

This noisy appearance has never been seen before!
"It's gone, it's gone." Xu Liren waved his hand, "I'll listen to you one more word, and I'll ask the Holy One to punish you with three months' salary."

Whether everyone is true or false, clasped fists should be true.

"Disgraceful." Xu Liren snorted and turned around.

At this moment in the imperial study, Zhao Zhiang looked at the portrait presented by Wang Dahai, frowned, and asked, "Where did this portrait come from?"

"It was sent by the Pingjiang Mansion. It is said to be a portrait of the Princess of the Later Song Dynasty that flowed out from the Palace of the Later Song Dynasty!" Wang Dahai looked at it several times along the way, and the painting made him say that the painting was not good. However, it can still be seen that the woman in the painting is sweet and delicate, a rare beauty.

What's more obvious is that the woman in this painting is really similar to Su's.

"Sent from Pingjiang Mansion." Zhao Zhiang looked at the portrait, nodded, and said, "Take a look."

Wang Dahai replied: "Look, I have seven parts."

"Really." Zhao Zhiang leaned on the dragon chair with an unpredictable expression, and suddenly asked: "Marquis Changxing is leaving today? Who sent them off?"

Wang Dahai replied: "[-]% to [-]% of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty went there in the morning. It is a big deal to regain the outside of the pass and wipe out Nurhachi. So everyone spontaneously sent them."

"Yeah." Zhao Zhiang said, his eyes fell on the portrait again, "Su Zhengxing's daughter is able to make a fortune under my nose, tell me, is it her daughter who is amazing, or is it my daughter? Rather stupid."

"Your Majesty." Wang Dahai knelt down in shock, "Naturally, this woman is treacherous and cunning."

Zhao Zhiang waved his hand and said, "Where are you now?"

"I'm locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that the trial will start tomorrow." Wang Dahai replied.

Zhao Zhiang nodded, and said, "Just ask, it's good to ask clearly."

Wang Dahai should go out.

Su Wanru was arrested, the Xianzhen Girls' School was closed, and Yingjing Embroidery Workshop was dead silent. Everyone lost their minds to work, and they took needles and thread but didn't take a stitch for a long time. Bian Li whispered to Ma Xiuniang: "... this matter Why do you get involved with her, I always feel that things are not simple."

"No matter how it is involved." Ma Xiuniang said: "We can't just sit and wait for death like this."

Yes, Bian Li thought for a while and stood up. The sound of her carrying the chair startled everyone, and everyone looked at her. Bian Li waved her hand and said, "I'll go find the supervisor, and you continue to work."

She went downstairs, Director Huo and Zhou Xian sat in the room without speaking, Bian Li said, "Director, Su Jin was arrested for no reason, we can't do nothing, the trial will start tomorrow."

"Yeah." Huo Zhangshi nodded, "I've been in the prison for two days, and I don't know what's going on in the prison, whether I can have enough food and clothing."

Director Huo was distracted while talking, and a bloody eye was pricked with a finger. She wiped it off with a handkerchief, looked at Bian Li, and Bian Li also looked at her, "Director, let's do something."

"Okay. Do something." Huo Zhangshi said, "What are you doing?"

They are embroidered mothers, and they are soft-spoken, even if they are all beaten to death at the gate of the criminal department, they will not have any effect on the court's decision.

"I..." Bian Li didn't know what to say, because she didn't know what they could do.

Zhou Xian stood up abruptly, and said, "Let's go to the gate of the yamen tomorrow and cry. Aren't we women? Women have no skills, so we just cry."

"This...is fine." Huo Zhangshi nodded, "Then cry, it's better than doing nothing."

Zhou Xian nodded, and said to Bian Li: "Let's go and tell everyone that those who are willing to go will follow us. Even if Su Jin can't be saved, we can let her know that we are with her."

"En." Bian Li nodded and was about to go out when suddenly Mother Liu came over and replied, "Master, some bosses are here."

Mr. Huo was taken aback for a moment, and saw five or six men coming in at the door. Everyone clasped their fists. Mr. Huo said, "Everyone, why are you here now? Look, Aunt Su is not here. I will talk about the re-check when she comes back."

"Master Huo, we've heard about Aunt Su." Shopkeeper Zhou said, "We just want to ask whether this matter is reliable or not. Why do you suddenly say that Aunt Su is a princess of the Later Song Dynasty?"

Master Huo shook his head, and said: "It was said suddenly that the officers and soldiers came and took him away. We haven't understood until now."

"It's because the whole country is looking for women who are fifteen or sixteen years old." Another shopkeeper Xu said, "Aunt Su just fits the bill."

"It's just nonsense." Shopkeeper Zhou said: "How could Aunt Su be the princess of the Later Song Dynasty? If she were the princess of the Later Song Dynasty, she wouldn't hide and live. What would she do in Yanjing? I don't know what wicked people do This kind of thing must be due to the fact that Aunt Su is too capable, and she is behind the scenes."

"Now is not the time to be filled with righteous indignation. We have to think about how to do this. What can we do to help Aunt Su? She treats us so well. If it weren't for her, we still live on 200 taels a year. Now because of the bonus, Our money has doubled several times than before, and we cannot forget this kindness."

That's right, without Su Jin, how could Ying Jin be where he is today.

"Let's go cry outside the Ministry of Justice when the class starts tomorrow." Zhou Xian said, "Would you like to go, my masters?"

The shopkeepers immediately looked at each other, and said in embarrassment: "Crying... crying is a good way." They are all merchants, and there is no better way, "If we cry, let's forget it."

Zhou Xian was immediately disappointed, but felt understanding. She and Sister Su Jin were deeply in love, but she couldn't ask everyone to be like this.

She smiled and felt that she understood.

"We big men cry too badly." Shopkeeper Xu said, "I'll let my wife, three daughters-in-law and daughter cry. We're all women, so it's more harmonious to cry together."

Zhou Xian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, then at the gate of the yamen tomorrow."

Several shopkeepers nodded, and they left in a gust of wind.

In Mihang, Duan Zhen slammed his fist on the table, and the table was instantly torn apart. Liu Changwen said: "Don't get excited, the princess told us not to act rashly."

"The class will start tomorrow." Duan Zhen said: "These people, why do these people interrogate the princess from above, it is a shame and shame!"

Liu Changwen waved his hand and said: "The princess also said that people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If we lose, we lose. Now we don't talk about kneeling, but we can just recognize our ancestors. Winners and losers, it's useless for you to say that "He said again: "The key now is whether the princess will not suffer, whether she will be tortured or not."

"No, I'm going to rob the prison tonight, at worst!" Duan Zhen said.

Liu Changwen didn't speak, when Hu Shisanniang came outside the door, Granny Liu looked at her, and immediately asked, "How is it, what news do you have?"

"Yes!" Hu Shisanniang replied, "Someone sent a portrait from Pingjiang Mansion, it's a portrait of the princess."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed drastically.

"Why is there still a portrait of the princess? It's impossible." Liu Changwen said: "There are not many people who have seen the princess. It is said that because few people saw it at the time, the portrait was all based on speculation, so the princess was able to escape from the palace smoothly. .”

"How can there be portraits again now?" Liu Changwen couldn't figure it out.

Hu Shisanniang sat down, and said: "This time, someone got into a game. It has been a game since the Jingzhou officials were killed." She said roughly.

"What a sinister person. The key is that we don't know who the other party is yet." Duan Zhen said: "This is the most difficult thing."

After being beaten, I didn't know where the hand was stretched out, it was really annoying.

"Don't be in a hurry." Hu Shisanniang said: "We will see how to do it when the trial begins tomorrow."

Granny Liu, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Who is the loudest in the court this time?"

"There are a lot of loud voices." Liu Changwen said: "I checked carefully, there are seven in total, and these seven are officials from Jingzhou who insisted on the princess and said that the princess assassinated her."

Granny Liu sneered and said, "Then let's keep an eye on these seven people."

"What are you staring at?" Duan Zhen asked.

Granny Liu replied: "People don't do things for no reason. Since these people yell so loudly, there must be a reason for them to yell. We can't go wrong if we keep an eye on them."

Several people nodded yes.

"What does the Second Highness say?" Hu Shisanniang looked at Liu Changwen, Liu Changwen replied: "The Second Highness is coming to Yanjing in just three to five days. What he meant, if this level can't be fooled , we will rob the prison.”

"Then let's prepare in advance." Hu Shisanniang said, "in order not to be caught off guard."

Hearing this, Granny Liu waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, the Second Highness said that you must be prepared not to be discovered, so don't worry." After speaking, she thought of someone, "Where is that kid Song Qiao? I want to warn you, don't mess around."

"No." Hu Shisanniang said: "He went to see the princess before the princess entered the punishment department, so he must have something to do."

"Grandma Liu." While talking, Du Zhou came in from the outside, everyone got up, Song Qiao opened the curtain, and shouted: "Eunuch Du, Doctor Mei!"

The two of them sat down, and Du Zhou spoke first: "Since the Second Highness is coming, we have plans to rob the prison, so we need to discuss who they are." in one basket."

Everyone nodded yes, sitting together to discuss specific matters.

In Prince Ning's mansion, Zha Rongsheng brought a servant into the inner courtyard. Zhao Yan was reading a book in the pavilion. When he saw someone coming, he put the book down and asked, "How is it?"

"My lord, you are right. This incident seems to be related to the Zhennan Hou Mansion." The visitor replied.

Zhao Yan nodded slightly, frowned and said, "Where is the Marquis of Zhennan, any news?"

"Not yet." The visitor replied: "I heard that he was in Chengdu Mansion more than ten days ago, even if he came back, he would not come so fast."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Go."

The person who answered left, Zha Rongsheng stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what should I do about this matter?"

"I would like to go to the palace to ask for the imperial decree to bestow marriage, but it's a pity that she will be unhappy if she finds out." Zhao Yan said, "I'm fine tomorrow, so I'll go to the court hearing."

Zha Rongsheng thought, it's not appropriate for you to ask for an imperial decree, and it's even more inappropriate to go to the court hearing.

In the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, Li Jun couldn't help laughing when she saw Wu You being beaten, and said: "What's the matter, you came to me early in the morning to vent your anger."

"It's okay, it's just that I didn't make it last time, and I was holding my breath." Wu You sat down, took a sip of tea, and said, "By the way, you know that Su Jin was locked up by Princess Song, right?"

"It's so strange that she is still a princess. With her appearance, no matter how you look at it, she is not a princess."

Li Jun laughed, "Whether this is a princess or not is not what you think, but what others think."

"What do you mean, these people don't tell the truth from the fake?" Wu You was stunned.

Li Jun smiled lightly and said: "Don't worry, you will know tomorrow. This time, Su Shi will be convicted."

"No... no way. Whether this is a princess or not can be convicted in a few words." Wu You thought it would be good to teach Su Jin a lesson, but it would be hard to say if he insisted on a hat and wronged others, "This If she is really a princess, she must be taken to Caishikou and beheaded."

Li Jun lowered her head and found an overturned thread on the sleeve of her clothes, so she took the scissors and repaired it, and smiled for a while, "It's all fate."

Su Jin couldn't escape this time.Even if she was fake, someone made her real.

Even if one person harmed her at the beginning, then half of the court is trying to harm her now... If such a person harms only one person, it is not everyone's fault, but Su Jin's fault.

If you have no problems, why do so many people miss you?

Li Jun smiled lightly, feeling at ease, then thought of Zhao Yan and sighed slightly, wondering if the prince would be sad...

"Is there a way to go to the Yamen?" Wu You said, "I haven't seen the trial yet."

Wu You kicked the pedal, Li Jun replied: "If you can go, don't go, I think torture will be used."

"No... no way." Wu You felt chills suddenly, "Then I don't want to go. I don't know how he was beaten."

Li Jun smiled.

On the second day, the yamen of Shuntian Mansion opened on time. The person to be interrogated today is a bit special. Mr. Zhou also woke up early in the morning and looked at the things in his hand several times. In fact, there was nothing there, just a letter and two witnesses And a portrait sent by Wang Dahai.

The letter and witnesses are second, and the most important thing is this portrait!

Master Zhou has seen Su Wanru before, so he recognized her immediately. The person in the portrait is her. There is nothing he can do about it. He looked at it and sighed, and said: "...If it is really a princess, this Su family is really not easy. .”

I'm afraid it's not, but it's not up to him to decide whether it's right now.

"My lord." The scribe entered the door and handed over two famous cards, "Lord Ye and Lord Qi are back for the trial today."

Master Zhou accepted the famous post with a sneer, and said: "When the Shuntian Mansion opens, the Minister of Zhongshu and the Privy Council of Tongzhi will be able to attend."

The official ranks are all higher than him, but they have different paths, and no one can control the other.

Unexpectedly, these two people would actually hand in name cards to listen to the trial. Master Zhou put the name cards on the table, nodded and said: "Go and make arrangements, and prepare for the opening of the court."

"Yes!" The clerk left as expected, and went back after a while, with a few more name cards in his hand. Mr. Zhou looked at the corners of his mouth trembling, "Get some more chairs and get ready. I'm afraid My small yamen can't accommodate so many adults."

The scribe only felt strange, although the Su family was capable, but it was just a merchant, how could it attract so many people to see it.

Could it be because of her identity?
That's right, the Princess of the Later Song Dynasty, how many people want to see this bold Princess of the Later Song Dynasty.

It's too scary to actually dare to do business in Yanjing with great fanfare, and even enter the palace several times.

Mr. Zhou washed up and had breakfast, and read a few minutes of official documents. Someone came from here and said that the time was up. He changed into his official uniform and put on his official hat. He took his staff and went to the yamen in the front hall. Mr. Qi, the servant, and Mr. Ye, who knows the affairs of the Privy Council, arrived one after another.Then Ning Wang Zhao Yan also arrived, accompanied by Yong Jiabo.

After some greetings and salutes, everyone took their seats. Mr. Zhou sat behind the table, knocked on the gavel, and shouted: "Bring the prisoner, Mrs. Su!"

The prison conditions in Shuntian Mansion are poor, and the defense is not as good as that of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so Su Wanru was transferred from the Ministry of Criminal Justice early in the morning, so she stayed in the next door early.

After the exclamation wood was photographed, someone went to pick him up.

Zhao Yan's eyes fell on the rear yamen, while Uncle Cai approached him quietly, and said in a low voice, "My lord, this... people didn't use punishment, did they?"

"Let the uncle bother, no." Zhao Yan replied: "One party has not been tried and cannot be punished. This is the law of the Great Zhou."

Uncle Cai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't read much but still had to read the law, so he looked at Zhao Yan strangely, and muttered, "Is there such a law?"

"There will be soon." Zhao Yan said.

Uncle Cai's mouth twitched.

Immediately the hall became quiet again, and Zhao Yan saw two servants leading Su Wanru out from behind. She was wearing a half-worn blue jacket with long washes, with two long ponytails braided on her head, hanging on her shoulders... No crying, no shame, no embarrassment.

When the man walked enough, he saw Zhao Yan, and a smile flashed across his eyes.

Zhao Yan also smiled and nodded at her.

That's right, if weeping and trembling, then it's not the Su Jin he knew.

Zhao Yan leaned back on the chair comfortably.

On the opposite side, Lord Qi and Lord Ye looked at each other, and Lord Qi said in a low voice: "This is under special care in prison?" Who can be so calm after staying in prison for two days.

"This woman is not simple." Lord Ye whispered: "Don't take it lightly."

Lord Qi nodded.

"Who is in the hall?" Su Wanru knelt down as Lord Zhou walked along the river, and replied unhurriedly: "The daughter of the people, Mrs. Su, kowtow to Lord Zhou."

Mr. Zhou was taken aback, and nodded secretly, this Su family is really courageous, otherwise there are so many people in this hall, armed with swords, guns and clubs, if it were any other woman, she would cry in fright.

"Someone identified you as Su Wanru, a remnant of the Later Song Dynasty, and there are all the authentication materials, can you plead guilty?" Master Zhou asked.

Su Wanru shook her head, and said: "Ministers don't admit it, sir, please look into it!"

This is a normal conversation. If you recognize it, there is no need to open the meeting. Mr. Zhou nodded slightly, and winked at the clerk on the side, and the clerk shook out the portrait, "Do you know who this person is?"

"Me!" Su Wanru said: "Although the painting is not good, but there are still seven or eight parts, it should be that I am not wrong."

This is actually admitted, Mr. Zhou didn't expect it, and thought she was going to quibble, "Then do you recognize the chapter above?"

"I don't know." Su Wanru said.

Mr. Zhou explained: "This seal is the seal of the former Pingjiang government office, but the year before last, this official seal was smashed and scrapped. Su, you understand what I mean."

"I don't understand." Su Wanru shook her head with a look of confusion.

Mr. Zhou has a good temper and explained: "That is to say, this painting was painted at least three months ago. At that time, the government arrested Song Yuxie, so I asked someone to paint a portrait of everyone. This one is Su Wanru. portrait."

Su Wanru showed a look of understanding, nodded and said: "Understood. But the painting skills are not good, the layers are unclear, the coloring is not bright..." She said with a look of disappreciation.

Master Zhou was choked, covered his mouth and coughed twice.

This little girl is not only courageous, but she is also very brave. Is she fearless if she doesn't know, or is she confident that she is okay?

Zhao Yan listened with a smile in his eyes, nodded and said: "This painting skill is really not good."

Mr. Zhou's scalp felt numb all of a sudden, this is a trial case, why did he talk about other people's painting skills.

"Master Zhou." Master Qi said: "As soon as she has seen the witnesses, she will examine them carefully. If she refuses to admit it to death, then she will be punished!"

Mr. Zhou was startled and was about to speak, Yong Jiabo said: "Is there a place for you to talk here? You didn't look at the prince and didn't say anything." Then he waved his sleeves and said: "Yuezu will do it for you!"

"You!" Lord Qi was about to speak, but Lord Ye pulled him, looked at Lord Zhou and said, "Master Zhou, when the two of us came, there was an order from the sage. This woman is cunning and bold by nature. You can't ask me such a question." If something happens, it’s better to use torture directly, if you don’t give her some trouble, she will just continue to play tricks with you.”

Mr. Zhou was in a dilemma for a moment, and was about to speak, when he heard faint cries, first one or two women's cries, miserably, then three or four, and then whimpering, as if the north wind was blowing in winter Everyone in the hall was stunned, Master Zhou asked: "Who is crying?"

This is thanks to the daytime, if it is night, it will scare people to death.

"My... my lord." The guard outside the hall replied: "It's outside the government office, there are people crying outside."

Mr. Zhou was very annoyed, and shouted: "Chasing away."

"My lord, I can't drive you away." The guard replied: "There are too many people, it's hard to drive away, and there are still a few official ladies."

Master Zhou was taken aback for a moment, and saw that outside the opened gate, there was a sea of ​​people, the gate was tightly blocked, and the level of crying was uneven but never stopped...

There are many kinds of women crying, especially men are very familiar with it, but this is the first time I saw these hundreds of people sitting quietly, women of different shapes and ages sitting together crying, sobbing, miserable... …

This cry makes one's scalp numb.

"What's going on." Mr. Zhou asked, "Why are they crying in broad daylight? They want to go home and cry."

The guard replied: "My lord, these women are... all..." He said, looking at Su Wanru, "They are all Su's friends, students..."

Master Zhou's eyes widened.

Su Wanru also looked back, she saw Zhou Xian, Aunt Fat, Ge Yujie, and the proprietress of the bakery across the street.

Sitting in a row, there are three or four hundred women, blocking the gate of Shuntian Mansion tightly.

Different ages, different fat and thin, if it wasn't because she was crying right now, it would be really pleasing to the eye, Su Wanru looked at the tip of her nose sour, and waved to the women outside from the door...

They looked at her, whimpered and cried.

"Go and ask, what do they want to do!" Master Qi clapped the armrest, and shouted: "A group of women, how decent are they! It's really immoral."

Su Wanru cast a glance at Master Qi, nodded slightly, and said, "Please also ask Master Qi to say hello to Mrs. Qi for me."

"What do you mean?" Master Qi said.

Su Wanru smiled, and replied: "Her son doesn't respect her, so I, who is also a woman, naturally have to respect her." She shook her head and said, "That's what's wrong with women. In the future, whether it's a son or an animal, it doesn't matter. Control by yourself!"

"Bold Su." Lord Qi shouted, "Do you know who you are talking to."

Su Wanru sneered, and glanced at him up and down, "I don't know him."

Master Qi pointed at her angrily and was speechless for a long time. Lord Ye held her back and said, "Master Zhou, don't worry about outside affairs. You should start the interrogation quickly. After you are convicted, I will report to the Holy Spirit later."

Sobbing, crying louder and louder, Mr. Zhou pointed outside, and said irritably: "This voice, how to interrogate..."

"It was the Su family who incited the hearts of the people and gathered people to make trouble." Master Qi said: "The leader of the people who gathered to make trouble should be arrested, and the rest should be dismissed. If they are still stubborn, they can be killed in the street!"

He yelled out loudly and asked, and someone outside immediately replied: "When an official oppresses the people, he doesn't distinguish between loyal and traitorous, he should be dismissed from office and go home to farm!"

That's right, there was a roar of laughter outside.

Da Qi was trembling with anger.

"We are women, and we have no power or power. But we have no power and power, and we cannot be oppressed by you for nothing." Someone shouted outside: "We don't do anything, we just cry, and what we cry is our own tears. Why do you care about your own sadness, you can't control it."

Really, the person came and didn't say anything, just cried, and didn't interfere with the trial.

"What... what should I do?" Master Zhou looked at Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan looked at Su Wanru with a smile, and said, "What did Ah Jin say?"

Su Wanru replied: "The women of the people want to seek justice, the women of the people want to sue the Imperial Court, and the women of the people want to see the Holy Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, you can see him as soon as you can." Master Qi sneered and cupped his hands with Zhao Yan, saying: "My lord, this is a remnant of the Later Song Dynasty. If you help her enter the palace, if something happens, the responsibility and consequences will be I dare not imagine."

In Zhennan Hou's mansion, Mrs. Lu went to bed early and woke up too early last night, so she felt tired after breakfast, and went to bed for a while, when she heard the voice of Lu Jingqiu coming in with tea, and said in a low voice: "Master, Shuntian Mansion is open."

"En. Did you use torture?" Lu Shi said.

Su Wanru won't admit it, but there is evidence, so it's useless not to admit it.

"Not yet." Lu Jingqiu replied: "Many women outside Shuntian Mansion are crying, and now basically everyone in the city has gone there to see it, and even alarmed the palace, the Holy Majesty even sent someone to ask."

Mrs. Lu was puzzled, "What woman is crying?" And said: "That's right, she is Aunt Xiufang, there are probably 400 people in Yingjin, this crying movement is really big enough."

"It's not just them." Lu Jingqiu said: "There are also many vendors on the street, all her students, and... there are many ordinary people."

Lu frowned, "Why are the people crying?" But a embroidered lady really thought she could be admired by thousands of people.

"Some of the daughters of the family are in the school, some are women in the embroidery workshop, and some... there are relatives or neighbors' daughters in the school or embroidery workshop."

The capital city is like this. If you say it’s big, it will take three or four days to cover the entire capital by walking, but if you say it’s small, it’s also very small. Randomly pick up three people you don’t know on the street and hang out with them. There are two who can climb relatives.

"Heh!" Lu sneered, "So all the women in the capital are going to cry."

Lu Jingqiu didn't speak.

"What's the matter." Lu Shi said: "Is she Su Wanru? Just rely on these idiots to cry?"

Lu Jingqiu thinks it makes sense.

"Old Madam." The servant outside the door came over and replied: "There is too much commotion, Shuntian Mansion has no way to re-trial, so someone from the palace brought Su Clan to the palace, the Holy Majesty wants to interrogate himself."

Lu Shi was not surprised at all, nodded and said: "She instigated so many people to make trouble, and it was for this purpose."

What is the difference between entering the palace or staying in Shuntian Mansion?

"I'm going for a walk in the yard." Lu looked up at the sky, feeling that today's weather was exceptionally good, and she felt very comfortable. She punched a set, sweated all over, and went back to the room to wash and change clothes. Qingliu had already brought Someone put the lunch on the table. After Lu's lunch, he wrote for a while, and then went to take a nap.

When he woke up, it was already Shen Zheng.

"It's old age, it's really old age." Lu helped Lu Jingqiu's hand up, "How about it, have you been convicted?"

Lu Jingqiu shook her head, and replied: "There is no news yet." Then said: "Master, will there be any changes?"

"It's not up to you and me to decide what will remain the same. I just create an opportunity for those grown-ups. This opportunity is either Su Wanru's death or theirs." Lu Shi said, "Do you think they will be like mad dogs, Hold on to Su Wanru and not let go."

Lu Jingqiu nodded and said, "Yes!"

The ink corruption case in Jingzhou involved far more people than they thought. As the officials in Jingzhou got closer and closer to the capital, these Beijing officials felt uneasy... So, they reached out to help the people from Jingzhou All silenced.

And properly push out the remnants of the Later Song Dynasty.

Look, not only did the villain be silenced, but the murderer was also found, and he was also the princess of the Later Song Dynasty...

This matter, this person, and this method, Lu felt that even she was satisfied, let alone those Beijing officials.

If they hadn't seized the opportunity, bit Su Wanru and used her as a scapegoat to close the ink corruption case in Jingzhou, they would be fools!
Therefore, no one cares whether this Su Wanru is a real princess or a fake princess.

All those people care about is whether she is the murderer, whether Zhao Zhiang believes it or not.

Can he cover up the traces of his greed for ink well?

"Look, how interesting this is." Lu Shi said, "There are all kinds of people... Some people think that Su Wan has been wronged, so they cry for her. Some people feel guilty but can't protect themselves, and bite the bullet Going to frame her, some people are just and honest, insisting that she is the princess of the Later Song Dynasty and the murderer, but when they dream back at midnight, they will have nightmares again and again."

"These people are all smart people, not as smart as her. Look at how open she is, she can come and go freely in the capital, and she can incite so many people. It really wins the hearts of the people."

But so what.

False is false, sooner or later the truth will be revealed.

"Old madam!" The servant hurried in and said, "There is news from the palace."

Mrs. Lu nodded, and asked, "When is the scheduled beheading?"

"No...it's not." The boy shook his head, "The Holy Majesty did not convict him. Not only did he not convict him, he even made Aunt Su an aunt!"

Lu's face darkened, and Lu Jingqiu had already said: "What is Aunt Su's aunt, explain clearly."

"In the past, Aunt Su was just a title. Now, Aunt is a title. It is said that she is honored by the princess."

Lu Jingqiu didn't understand, and looked at Lu Shi dumbfounded.

"Stupid things!" Lu Shi stood up and brushed away the things on the table, and they slammed into pieces on the ground. "There are so many people, they can't kill a little girl."

Lu Jingqiu said: "Master, what the hell is going on, this... is too strange."

Why didn't Zhao Zhiang convict her and give her a title?

Just as Mrs. Lu was about to speak, another young man ran in and said, "Madam, Master Hou is back!"

To save someone, it's really urgent, Lu Shi flicked his sleeves and said: "I'm sick, please go and ask Lord Hou to come back to take care of me!"

The boy should be.

There were congratulatory voices on the street. Su Wanru sat in the car and returned the salutes one by one, saying: "Thank you everyone, I have only been in prison for two days, and the smell of my body, I have to go back and wash it..."

"Auntie, let's go." Everyone smiled and said, "Remember to step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck."

Su Wan was as expected, talking and laughing all the way calmly, at this moment, one person and one rider slowly approached from opposite to her, she stared blankly.

It's Shen Zhan. I haven't seen him for a few months. He has lost weight and darkened a little, but the edges and corners of his face have become more and more sharp. Just walking leisurely by himself, he has a murderous aura of blood and gold.

He walked by and glanced at her.

Su Wanru didn't even look at him, and urged Lu Yi: "Go home, I smell so bad."

"That's Zhennanhou, Zhennanhou is back."

"Didn't Zhennan Hou know Aunt Su? Why didn't he say hello when he saw him?"

"That's right, that night someone saw Marquis Zhennan holding Aunt Su's hand and going home. Then Master Hou went on a long trip the next day. Why didn't he talk when he came back now."

"What are you talking about? With the current identities of Marquis Zhennan and Aunt Su, I'm afraid they can't even marry independently."

"That's right. But the two really deserve each other."

Shen Zhan rode away with his head held high and his chest held high, without looking back.

Su Wanru took a deep breath, and went back to Jinxiu Workshop. The embroidery workshop was even more lively. Everyone was waiting for her. After stepping over the brazier, Huo Zhangshi said, "Don't ask anything, if you have something to say tomorrow, let Su Jin sleep for a while." Sleep!"

"Auntie, you really understand me so well. I'm going to die of sleepiness." Su Wanru said, "Then I'll go back to sleep and we'll talk tomorrow."

She said, hurriedly went back to wash up, closed the door and threw herself on the bed.

But I didn't feel sleepy at all...

I don't know how long I lay there, the sky outside gradually darkened, Du Zhou knocked on the door a few times and she didn't open it, Er Gouzi lay at the door and groaned and gnawed on the bones...

At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the window, like a mouse gnawing on something, or like a knife poking something.

"Who?!" Su Wanru sat up abruptly, and before she could rush over, the window had already opened, and a black figure jumped in. He rushed over with lightning speed, and Su Wanru was thrown onto the bed.

That person was tall and burly, and when he rushed towards him, there was a gust of wind, the momentum was like a rainbow, Su Wanru couldn't hold back at all.

Jumping down, the man didn't move extra, just buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and murmured: "Daughter-in-law..."

Su Wanru was furious!
