Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 173 Story
"Wait a minute." Zhu Xun and Su Wanru entered the door, he clasped his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, I'm sorry for being late!"

He said, and Su Wanru stood beside Shen Zhan.

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why, and looked at them in surprise, Mr. Liu coughed, he is the lowest in terms of official position among people here, but today he is the presiding judge, so naturally he had to ask, "Zhu Shizi, what is the relationship between you and Aunt Su?" do what?"

"I'll tell you." Su Wanru cupped her hands and arched them in a circle. Her eyes swept over King Ning, and landed on Master Liu. She introduced Zhu Xun, "Young Master Zhu is the defendant today."

defendant?

Master Liu was taken aback, and said with a heavy face, "This is... Your Majesty didn't say that Prince Zhu would interrogate together, so you are disrupting the trial."

"Lord Liu, my lords." Su Wanru said for a while, then looked at King Ning again, "Lord Ning! Everyone has heard the saying that the father should pay the debt, and there are so many evidences on the table of Master Liu. It is the Marquis of Zhennan and the Marquis of Changxing who collude with the enemy and treason the country, and now that the Marquis of Changxing is gone, he will naturally be replaced by Prince Zhu."

"This... makes sense." Xu Liren nodded and looked at the crowd, "What do you think? Changxing Houben is in this case, but someone else has already gone, but the case is still a case, and Prince Zhu should stand trial."

Everyone frowned, Mr. Ge looked at Su Wanru and Zhu Xun in embarrassment, coughed, and asked: "Master Zhu, are you... well thought out?" His son-in-law.

"Think it over." Zhu Xun cupped his hands and replied, "The Marquis of Changxing has always been upright and upright. Since this case was filed against the Marquis of Zhennan and Marquis of Changxing, we will not back down. I Dad Quanxia knows, and will support me."

Mr. Ge nodded without saying anything.

"That's fine." Master Liu said: "Zhu Shizi will be tried in the hall with Zhennanhou."

It was the first time that someone rushed to the court for interrogation.

"Then Aunt Su, what are you doing?" Master Liu asked.

Su Wanru coughed, then clasped her fists again, and replied: "I am the litigator invited by the Marquis of Zhennan. Today, I will argue the case between Marquis of Zhennan and Zhu Shizi. My lords, there is no provision in the law for the person to be tried. Can't you hire a litigator?" Looking at King Ning again, "My lord, what do you think?"

The Great Zhou dynasty was only a few years old, and the law had not yet been perfected. Naturally, there was no subdivision of whether the defendant could hire a lawyer, and there was no rule that women could not be lawyers.

Everyone was embarrassed for a while, King Ning opened his mouth, nodded and said: "Since the law does not stipulate that it is not allowed, there is naturally room for discussion. As long as the adults agree, this king has no objection."

"Thank you." Su Wanru nodded, then turned to look at Master Ge, "What do you think?"

Xu Liren was about to speak, but Lord Ge had already opened his mouth and said, "Since the prince said yes, then so be it."

He made a decision, and Xu Liren took it back.

"Okay." Su Wanru said: "Then invite Master Liu to open the hall."

Master Liu nodded, patted the gavel, and the clerk shouted, "Silence!" Master Liu spread out all the evidence and said, "Because of the long journey, Cao Enqing did not come, but the evidence and manuscripts he collected are all Here, Prince Ning personally checked and checked it, and now I will read it one by one for everyone."

The scribe stepped forward, took it, stood in front of the hall, and read: "Near the border wall of the Suzhou garrison built by Zhennan Hou, a dark market was found. The nine-foot passage is usually covered by trees, so it is hard to see. Three days' walk from this road is a branch of homeless people in Nurhachi. In order to prove these two points, Prince Ning even arrested the homeless people to testify. The testimony is here."

As the scribe spoke, he held up the testimony. What was written on it could not be seen clearly, but two fingerprints could be seen.

"This is the testimony of the vagrants. It can prove that in the past five years, caravans have left the city every month. The items used in their homes are all from them. These items include silk, rice, salt, charcoal, etc., not only these , and the knives, guns, and even the hooves of their war horses are supplied by these people."

The scribes showed indignation when they read it. As a Han Chinese, there is no one who does not hate those people, because so many years of oppression and exploitation have been absorbed in the blood and will never disappear.

"This is evidence from outside the pass." The scribe paused, calmed down, and then said: "In the pass, the Gansu garrison interrogated seven people, and these seven people knew everything about the dark market. Every month for a year, they can get rewards ranging from 200 to [-] taels from these caravans."

"These evidences are all authenticated. Except for Cao Enqing, all of them have been taken to the capital and locked up in a prison cell. If there is any objection, they can be brought for interrogation!" After the scribe finished speaking, he handed over the manuscript in his hand to Mr. Liu and returned. seat.

"Marquis of Zhennan," Lord Liu added Zhu Xun, "Master Zhu, the evidence is convincing, can the two of you plead guilty?"

Before Shen Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Su Wanru, who coughed and said, "Master Liu, let the witness be questioned." As Su Wanru said, she said to Shen Zhan and Zhu Xun: "The hall is too crowded. The two of you sit next to each other first."

"Lord Liu, the two of them are not sinners before they are convicted. If you are not sinners, then you can sit down." Su Wanru swiped her hand and looked at so many people on the field, "After all, the identities of Zhennanhou and Zhu Shizi , how can there be a seat here."

Master Liu frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he knew that what Su Wanru said was true. If there was no lawyer, the two of them would naturally stand in the hall to answer questions, but now that there is a lawyer, they just need to listen.

"Show Zhennan Hou and Zhu Shizi a seat." Master Liu said humanely.

The yamen servant brought the chair, and Su Wanru pointed to King Ning's side, "Just sit by Prince Ning's side, after all, it's not appropriate to sit with Master Xu and Master Ge."

One is honorable and the other is a courtier, which is inappropriate.

Master Liu didn't say anything, and asked someone to lift the chair, but there were more than a dozen yamen servants standing behind Shen Zhan, fearing that his martial arts skills were too high, and if he was convicted soon, he would kill him in anger.

Shen Zhan sat down, and King Ning was on his right.

King Ning was drinking tea, and the attendants behind him also took a silent step forward with their hands in their sleeves.

Witnesses were brought up, a herdsman in his thirties, and seven Gansu guards. All eight were in good spirits, and obviously no torture was used.

"All eight of you, tell us everything you know in order," Master Liu said.

The eight people took turns to speak, and the herdsman said: "I don't know anything else, but every month there is indeed a caravan that sends us daily necessities, including rice, oil, charcoal and cloth. Look at the clothes on my body, which are made of your cloth. It's been three years."

As he spoke, he tore off the collar to reveal the jacket inside. It was indeed made of satin, and it had faded.

Master Liu nodded and was about to speak when Su Wanru coughed and said, "Master Liu, I have a question."

"Let's talk." The first time Mr. Liu met Su Wanru, he only knew that this woman was not simple, but now he realized that besides being not simple, she also talked a lot.

However, since she was agreed to be a litigator, she couldn't break her word. It was only natural for a litigator to ask witnesses.

"This witness." Su Wanru said to the herdsman: "You said that every month someone exchanges items with you, bartering things. Then, you can see that you have seen the Marquis of Zhennan and Marquis Changxing. After all, he has been here for nearly a year. Move over there."

"No." The herdsman shook his head.

Su Wanru nodded and looked at Master Liu, "So, he actually doesn't know who is bartering with them. My lord, I don't think it's appropriate for him to be a witness. It's best to ask Nurhachi to talk about it. "

Someone laughed for a lifetime. I don't know who it is. Master Liu's scalp tingled immediately, and he replied: "Aunt Su, this witness just proves that there is indeed a dark market. As for the witness who proves that the dark market is related to Zhennanhou, it is this Seven people."

Su Wanru snorted, then turned to look at the seven guards, "Then tell me."

One of the thin people said, "We used to follow the Marquis of Zhennan, but just five years ago, the Marquis of Zhennan suddenly asked us to go to Gansu to guard the border. We didn't know it until the caravan appeared. Only then did we know that Marquis Zhennan is going to do this."

"This matter has been investigated, and they were indeed soldiers under Zhennanhou's command in the early years." Master Liu added.

"At that time, like you, how many people retreated from the battlefield to guard the border, or were there only five of you?" Su Wanru asked.

The guard replied: "There are a total of 1000 or [-] people."

"All these 1000 or [-] people know about the dark market?" Su Wanru raised her brows slightly, and the man shook her head, "There are only seven of us, and Lord Hou only told us seven."

Su Wanru snorted, "So, you are Zhennanhou's confidantes? Otherwise, Zhennanhou would not entrust Qiu Rong to handle such an important matter, but leave it to you. You know, Qiu Rong was also there in those years Gansu."

"We don't know about this." The man said: "With our status, of course we do what our superiors tell us."

Su Wanru sneered, "Do whatever you're told. I don't think you're following orders. After all, 200 taels a month for commission and hush money is quite a lot."

"It was given privately by the caravan." The man argued, "Master Hou also knows."

Su Wanru nodded slightly, "Then besides Zhennanhou, who else would know, for example, who do you contact when Zhennanhou is not around?"

"And... we don't need to contact anyone, we just need to guard the secret passage, and we don't need to take care of other things." The man replied.

Su Wanru nodded and looked at Master Liu, "My lord, back then the Marquis of Zhennan sent 1000 or 1000 people to Gansu. Among the [-] or [-] people, there were several guerrilla generals and two of his trusted soldiers. My lord has inquired that they were once the town's Those under Nanhou's command must have also found out that these seven people were determined not to be Zhennanhou's cronies."

She paused as she spoke, and looked at the crowd, "May I ask my lords, if you want to do this kind of decapitation, should you just find a few people to do it, or leave it to your cronies to do it."

"That's naturally a cronies." Cui Daren said.

Su Wanru nodded, turned her head to look at the guards, and said with a sneer, "So, my conclusion is that you are not only not cronies, but also treacherous villains who were bribed to frame Zhennanhou."

"I...we are not." The man defended loudly, Su Wanru's face turned cold, and she shouted: "In the courtroom, your lord didn't ask questions, so you can't open your mouth, just slap your mouth!"

Of course Master Liu would not let Su Wanru mess around, so he patted the gavel and shouted: "Quiet." He said for a while, and then said: "Not only them, but also two merchants in the Northwest, who have been operating in the Northwest for seven years, this The two families are the subordinates of the Marquis of Zhennan, and they are responsible for all trade transactions."

Eight people were taken down, and two men were brought up, one in his early forties and a fat man, the other in his fifties with a fashionable beard.

The two looked calm, and there was no panic about being ransacked and beheaded. It was obvious that they had already done enough psychological construction and arranged for the funeral.

Master Liu asked, and the fat man replied: "...the first time Zhennanhou came to see us, and he hasn't been here since then, but he thought that the deputy general, One-eyed, we had inquired about, was Zhennanhou's subordinate. Qiu Rong."

"Is there any evidence of the relationship?" Su Wanru asked.

The man shook his head, "No, they are very cautious in their work. Every time they come, they withdraw money. After taking the money, they explain a few words and leave."

"There's still no proof?" Su Wanru frowned and said, "Then cooperation must be a contract, right?"

The man nodded, "Yes! It has been submitted to the prince."

Suan Wanru looked at King Ning, and King Ning said with a smile: "Of course, all the evidence will be handed over to the Yamen together, Aunt Su doesn't have to look at me."

"Here is the contract." Master Liu held up the contract for everyone to glance at, and did not intend to show it to Su Wanru. This is important evidence, and not everyone is qualified to touch it. "It is indeed the signature of Marquis Zhennan."

Su Wanru looked at it, the signature was in the middle of the paper, it was the paper used by Shen Zhan to practice calligraphy, and someone took it to write the contract.

"Stupid." Su Wanru gave Shen Zhan a blank look, Shen Zhan showed a helpless look, he would practice calligraphy when he was free in the army, who would have known that these people had such thoughts, besides, you said my handwriting was ugly.

Seeing that Su Wanru didn't speak, everyone couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. This woman is a bit noisy...

This kind of noise makes people speechless.

"Okay, let's put this evidence aside for now." Su Wanru nodded, and said, "Master Liu, do you have any evidence?"

Lord Liu nodded, and said: "There are so many witnesses in the dark market, and the evidence has conclusively confirmed that it was the work of the Marquis of Zhennan. And the six officials in Beijing were poisoned to death in the prison, and there are also human and physical evidence, so..." He He patted the gavel, but his tone was soft, and he looked at Shen Zhan, "Marquis of Zhennan, can you plead guilty?"

"My lord, it was all your evidence just now." Su Wanru said, "We haven't defended ourselves yet."

Master Liu rubbed his forehead and said, "Let's argue."

"Thank you." Su Wanru clapped her hands, looked at everyone, scanned them one by one, and said: "The witnesses and evidence just now, if they are not the person involved, are really perfect in the eyes of outsiders, even the contract, Zhennan Hou This crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is a solid one."

Everyone frowned, Xu Liren said: "Since you are sitting on the truth, why do you need to make sophistry and nonsense?"

"Master Xu." Su Wanru said, "You have witnesses to prove that Zhennanhou is guilty, but Zhennanhou also has evidence to prove his innocence."

She said that she saw Zhu Yin handing over a package of things from outside the door, she opened it in front of everyone, and took out an account book, "This package was given to Chang Xing Hou before he was attacked, and his regular follower Zhu Chang What I brought back is an account book, which records the account transactions from June to December last year."

She said, and handed it over to Mr. Liu, "It is clearly written in the account book, and every month, cloth, charcoal, knives and guns are shipped, and in exchange for horses and cattle, how many are raised, and how much profit is made, it is very clear." Dun continued: "When Marquis Chang Xing got this account book, it was when they destroyed it. When they killed Marquis Chang Xing, they also lost this account book."

"The account book is an account book, but there is no company name on it, so it can't prove anything." Mr. Liu said: "Perhaps, this is the account book of Zhennanhou."

What Master Liu said was not wrong, Su Wanru nodded, and said: "Isn't this evidence, sir, let me say the same thing." She paused, and took out a broken wooden token from her bag, "This , it’s with the account book, let’s take a look, does anyone know this wooden token.”

Master Liu took it and looked at it, the scribe came over to look at it, he was taken aback for a moment, and said: "This...is the wooden token of the Tongtian Ticket Office, only the heads of each branch have it."

"Tongtian Piaohao?" Zheng Wenju said: "Why is Tongtian Piaohao involved again? Could it be that they are also involved?"

Master Ge also frowned, you know, Tongtian Piaohao had contacts with the Holy Majesty, during the war, they even secretly supported the Holy Majesty with 300 million taels, it is a little inappropriate for Su Wanru to pull out the Tongtian Piaohao now.

Su Wanru nodded, "It's indeed the wooden token of Tongtian Bank, and there is a surname on it. I've checked, and it's the wooden token of Linzhao's title." As she spoke, she shook out another contract, "Coincidentally, This is also a contract, and the private seal of this manager Sun is stamped on it."

She handed it to Lord Liu, and said loudly: "The Marquis of Changxing accidentally discovered that Nurhachi's tribe used the same knives and horseshoes as them. So he sent someone to investigate secretly, and finally let him find this However, the other party was also cautious. After realizing that Marquis Changxing found them, he immediately sealed off the passage, dismissed the caravan, and prepared to destroy all the books and letters of the dark market. When Marquis Changxing led people to rush, the courtyard The building has been empty, but fortunately, Marquis Changxing still found these."

"Found the contract?" Master Liu said: "They want to destroy it, the contract is the most important thing, why did Marquis Changxing find it?"

It doesn't make sense.

Of course it doesn't make sense, because it's also fake.Su Wanru looked at Master Liu, and said helplessly: "My lord, I will trouble you to ask this Director Sun about this matter. His ability to handle things is really not good. However, it is precisely because of his poor quality that he was let Marquis Changxing found these."

What Changxing Hou sent back was an account book and a wooden token.Thanks to these, otherwise, she and Shen Zhan would not have gained so much in just one month.

She thought in her heart, raised her eyebrows and looked at King Ning, who frowned slightly, but his face was still calm.

Mr. Liu was speechless, coughed, and put the contract aside, "Then the authenticity of this contract has yet to be confirmed." Then he said: "Come here, send the people from Tongtian Ticket Number to see if they know each other. .”

"Thank you, my lord." Su Wanru cupped her hands, and waited for the people from the Tongtian Ticket Office with the others. About two quarters of an hour later, a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s came outside the door. He came forward to salute, "Cao Min Deng Now, kowtow to my lord."

"Show him." Liu Daren said: "This is the handwriting of Sun Zhangshi, your Linzhao branch, you can recognize it after reading it."

Deng Xian took the things and glanced at them, then shook his head and said, "Caomin doesn't recognize this handwriting, and Caomin and Mr. Sun have never been in contact." After a pause, he said, "However, this private seal is a bit strange. The private seals of the in-charge were all given by our boss, and they were taken from the same bloodstone, so each seal was irregular. However, the in-charge who was promoted later did not have this treatment, after all, the bloodstone had been used up long ago. "

"So, the seal is real?" Master Liu asked.

Deng Xian shook his head, "Caomin remembers that Director Sun was three years earlier than Caomin joined the boss. When Caomin was an apprentice, he had already gone to a bank to work as a clerk, so although he is not familiar with him, it is certain that his private seal is It must have come from that chicken blood stone. Although this seal is difficult to distinguish between real and fake, its shape is too regular to be real."

Master Liu looked at Su Wanru, "Fake?"

"Oh," Su Wanru was also helpless. Of course, she couldn't find Director Sun's private seal, and she didn't know about the bloodstone, so she just found someone to make one. I don't know, so he doesn't know even more, Mr. Sun's private seal was broken five years ago, and his seal is newly made."

The corners of Deng Xian's mouth trembled, "I... really don't know." He wanted to say that Su Wan was lying, but he couldn't deny it now.

Su Wanru nodded, looked at Mr. Liu and said, "Is it true or not? Please ask Mr. Liu to check again."

Master Liu nodded, waved his hand at Deng Xian, and said, "Go down."

"Wait." Su Wanru kept Deng Xian, "Since you're here, let's recognize someone by the way."

From the corner of her eye, Su Wanru saw that King Ning's complexion changed slightly.

"Any witnesses?" Mr. Liu said, "Bring them up."

Su Wanru waved her hand, asking Deng to stand aside, she said, "Before I bring witnesses here, I want to tell you a story."

Everyone frowned, Xu Liren said: "Master Su, this is the court, and you are allowed to be a litigator for the sake of Marquis Zhennan's face. If you are messing around, please go out over there."

"Am I a nonsense person?" Su Wanru smiled at Xu Liren and said, "30 years ago, a princess became a widow. She found Yingtian as her home and built a world-famous princess in Yingtian. She also built a moon landing tower behind the yard. Although she is a widow, this princess is really beautiful and affectionate, so her followers are countless, and countless young talents fall under her pomegranate skirt."

Master Liu coughed and said, "Aunt Su."

"Wait." Su Wanru walked back and forth with her hands behind her back, stopped in front of King Ning, and said with a half-smile: "Most of her servants have passed away, so I won't mention them one by one, but one of them has won the princess's favor. He is talented and affectionate, and his appearance is better than Pan An, and he is in love with the princess, and his love is stronger than gold."

"But the heavens are not beautiful. At that time, the country was in chaos, wars were raging everywhere, and there were tyrants everywhere. Yingtian was immediately occupied by the rebels. On the day of the occupation, the princess just gave birth to a son, a very beautiful son..."

"The princess was forced to commit suicide, but his lover didn't die. Instead, he fled with a lot of money and raised the child secretly. From the day the princess died, he began to plot revenge."

Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this. Su Zhengxing was the one who took the lead in advancing to heaven in 20 years, and the princess who was forced to death was Princess Xizhen from the previous dynasty. Half a year later, by chance, Zhao Zhiang took advantage of the gap between Yuan Jun and Su Zhengxing After winning Yingtian, Su Zhengxing retreated to Pingjiang Mansion.

"What do you say this has to do with the current case?" Master Liu asked.

This matter has passed, and the princess was indeed famous all over the world, and they have all heard of it.

"It is related, and it is a very direct relationship." Su Wanru said: "Because what we are facing now is part of the revenge plan planned by the princess' lover back then."

The whole hall was in an uproar, and Master Cui asked, "That person's conspiracy?"

"Yes!" Su Wanru nodded, walked away from King Ning with a difficult expression, and continued to tell the story, "The story of this lover is particularly inspirational and even more legendary. He made countless friends in his early years and spent many years in contact. Helped many courtiers, and with their extraordinary ingenuity, helped them survive the decades of turmoil in their respective official positions. Not only did they save their lives and official positions, they even opened the dynasty in the Great Zhou Dynasty. , stayed in the court, and was reused. Therefore, these people are very grateful to this old man, and firmly believe that following the old man can make immortal achievements and become capable ministers that will be passed on to the future."

"Not only that, when this lover ran away from Yingtian, he rescued a woman. That woman had a very powerful husband, but she was a concubine and was not favored. But by coincidence, This woman was framed by sisters in the backyard and left in the mountains, but she was about to give birth, this lover rescued this woman and raised her in a small courtyard, as brother and sister."

"A few days later, the woman gave birth to a baby boy. The neighbors and even all the doctors on Jingzhou Street knew that the lover's sister gave birth to a very beautiful son."

"But it is a pity that after the woman gave birth to a boy, her health was not very good, and she was bedridden all the time. The lover and his elder brother took care of the woman. Time passed quickly, although the woman did not He passed away in a few years, but the child has grown up vigorously, not only has an outstanding appearance, but is also known far and wide for his intelligence."

Everyone listened, covered in cold sweat, Xu Liren yelled, "Su Shi, don't talk nonsense!" He knew that Zhao Zhiang lost a pregnant concubine back then, and he couldn't find her for several years. She was taken back by her natal family.

Not only that, she also gave birth to a son, and that son was Ning Wang Zhao Yan.

Everyone in Jingzhou knew about this matter, and Zhao Zhiang even sent someone to Jingzhou to inquire about it. Everyone knew about the matter of Xiao Hanyi and Xiao Hanqing's brother and sister, and even more knew Zhao Yan's name.

Back then, Zhao Yan was born, a steady wife, a doctor, countless people can prove it.

The time coincided, so Zhao Zhiang confirmed Zhao Yan's identity.

Now that Su Wanru has said this, it is obvious that this matter has turned into a conspiracy, so the identity of King Ning is in doubt.

"My lord, the story is not over yet." Su Wanru said: "This lover is proficient in astronomy and geography. He not only raised his own nephew, but also became Su Shiyuan's staff and military adviser in the later Song Dynasty. During the battle of Qingzhou, this man was sold. Military situation, let his nephew come to Yanjing with his military situation, and his nephew was made king because of this."

"Everyone, this nephew is King Ning, and this lover is naturally his second uncle Xiao Hanqing." She said for a while, and then said: "Of course, it is not appropriate to say uncle, because the real King Ning was born long ago. He strangled him to death when he was young, and the present King Ning is the son of Princess Xizhen."

There was a buzzing sound, this story was so shocking, everyone was shocked at once, looked at King Ning with unpredictable expressions, Xu Liren said: "Is there any evidence for what you said?"

"Yes." Su Wanru nodded, then turned to look at King Ning, "Prince Ning, is the story exciting?"

King Ning nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "It's really exciting."

"There are more exciting things than this." Su Wanru said: "Xiao Hanqing likes to listen to operas. Not only does he like to listen to operas, he also likes to sing, and he likes to put on makeup. Anyone who knows him knows that. Therefore, his disguise technique is indistinguishable from ghosts and ghosts." Therefore, wherever he wanders, he can show people in various ways, such as Mr. Wei who was next to Su Shiyuan, Mr. Mu who was next to the Fourth Prince, for example..." She glanced at King Ning, "Maybe You have seen them before, but because of the different faces and different voices, you can’t recognize them.”

"Fourth Prince?" Zheng Wenju was taken aback, and Su Wanru nodded, "Last year, the murder of refugees in Yanping Mansion that the Fourth Prince was involved in was done by his aide, and this aide was Xiao Hanqing, so His Highness the Fourth Prince is very wronged. "

"King Ning, do you think His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is wronged?" Su Wanru looked at King Ning with a smile.

King Ning's expression remained unchanged, "If the story is true, then of course it will be wronged." He paused for a while, and then said: "Unfortunately, the things that Aunt Su said are just stories after all. Just sigh."

"Life is far more exciting than stories." Su Wanru sighed, and said, "Because of his relationship with the previous dynasty, Xiao Hanqing is naturally close to Nurhachi. He secretly associates with him, even subsidizes his military resources, and secretly communicates with him. He is moving towards success step by step, achieving his goal of letting the heir of Princess Xizhen sit on the throne and restoring the former dynasty. But unfortunately, he met Zhennanhou and Changxinghou, blocking his way, and his dark market happened to be What should I do if Marquis Changxing found out... So it appeared, Marquis Zhennan sat here and became the defendant."

"You mean, he framed Zhennan Hou and blamed him?" Master Liu asked.

Su Wanru nodded, "Those six officials are indeed guilty, because they secretly communicated with Xiao Hanqing, and they harbored the dream of restoring the former dynasty. It is a coincidence that Eunuch Ming was the servant of the lost empress back then. You see, The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, and they are all our own people."

"Okay." Ning Wang said lightly: "I have said so much, it has caused me so much trouble, and my reputation has also been slandered, Aunt Su, it would be inappropriate to continue talking."

Su Wanru nodded, "Then don't talk about it." As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her hand and said, "Bring witnesses."

King Ning's complexion changed.

Outside the door, a man with a big belly was brought out. He was walking with a limp. He was obviously beaten badly, but because his head was wrapped in a black cloth, no one could recognize who he was.

I can't recognize it because I am not familiar with it at all, but for someone who is familiar, just looking at the figure is enough.

King Ning stood up, and Deng Xian at the door also jumped up, shouting: "Master!"

Everyone was stunned, Su Wanru took off the black cloth covering the man's face, Deng Xian knelt down and shouted: "Master, what's wrong with you, Master."

"Su Shi!" King Ning finally changed his face and said angrily, "What do you want to do?"

Everyone understood that this person was the owner of Tongtian Bank, Xiao Hanyi, who was also King Ning's uncle, and he was also the one who secretly funded Zhao Zhiang back then.

"The Tongtian Ticket Office belongs to Jingzhou, and the first money he used to start the business was 600 million taels, and the 600 million taels were taken away by Xiao Hanqing from Princess Xizhen back then." Su Wanru glanced at King Ning, and continued. Said: "Later, they secretly funded the Holy Majesty, and they have reached today's scale. But buying and selling are just their tools, and their real goal is that position."

"That's right, Big Boss." Su Wanru squatted in front of Xiao Hanyi, patted his shoulder, Xiao Hanyi nodded, and said sullenly, "Yes!"

King Ning came forward and stretched out his hand, but before his hand touched Su Wanru, he was held down by the other hand, Shen Zhan said: "Lord Ning, just say it, it's not good to do it."

"Why is he like this, did you fight?" King Ning asked.

Su Wanru nodded, "It was a beating, but the one who confessed was not a forced beating, he said it on his own initiative."

"Really, big boss." Su Wanru asked.

Xiao Hanyi nodded, looked up at King Ning, his eyes flickered, and said: "...stop it, I'm tired after so many years."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" King Ning said, "What did they do to you?" He pulled his wrist back from Shen Zhan's hand, and shouted, "What did you do to him?"

Just grabbed his wife and children, pretended to kill his son in front of him, put the knife on the neck of her five-year-old grandson, Xiao Hanyi collapsed, "He killed so many people, I feel guilty , so we’re all recruiting.”

As Su Wanru said, she took out the last piece of paper from the bundle that Zhu Yin sent just now, "Lord Liu, this is his confession, and it has been signed. If you have any questions, you can ask them in court."

"You don't need to confirm the identity of this person, King Ning and the head of Deng have both confirmed it."

Mr. Liu read the pleadings, and his complexion changed unpredictably. He passed on the confession, and all the adults sitting below have read it. Obviously, this testimony and this witness are more convincing than all others.

"Nonsense, fabricating and framing!" King Ning said angrily: "The evidence of Gansu is my own investigation, and there is no problem at all. Even if you bring out these things and bring witnesses, it will not explain anything. What's more, I have no reason to frame Zhennanhou."

"Because you like me." Su Wanru sighed, and said helplessly, "If you can't love me, it hurts."

King Ning smiled, with a face full of sarcasm, "How can a woman let a man like this, you think too highly of yourself."

"So you don't like me anymore." Su Wanru sighed, took two steps back, and looked at King Ning, "That's right, Zhao Zhongyuan likes me, but you're not Zhao Zhongyuan, so naturally you wouldn't like me."

She was outside the women's school that day, and he was not surprised when she called him "Zhong Yuan", because she only called him King Ning when they got along.

Moreover, he was standing on the steps, and he was about the same height as the other party. She and Zhao Yan had the same scene before, but he was still much taller than her at that time.

So, after that day, she knew that the other party was not Zhao Yan.

She didn't know Zhao Yan's life or death, after all, Mei Yu said that the poison was very strong.

Everyone was stunned, their faces full of horror, and then they saw Shen Zhan making a move, clasping King Ning's head with his hands, and touching his face. The dagger went straight towards Shen Zhan...Zhu Xun let out a loud shout, and said, "You are quite courageous to do something in the lobby."

Then he fought with that person, but with three or two moves.When everyone panicked, they saw Shen Zhan holding King Ning down with one hand, and with a swipe, he peeled off half of the skin on his face, revealing half of his orange-peeled face.

Half of the face is young and handsome, and half of the face is old and ugly, which is really weird.

"Xiao Hanqing, you can't escape." Su Wanru shouted, "Kill him!"

Kill him to avenge Wanqian of Song Dynasty, Marquis Changxing, and the refugees who died in Yanping...

Shen Zhan's hand didn't loosen at all, he kicked Xiao Hanqing's knee, and then he moved his hand, heard a thump, and removed one of his arms, Zhu Xun took the opportunity to slash Xiao Hanqing's back , All of this happened in an instant, and before everyone came back to their senses, the smell of blood had already spread.

"Stop." Xu Liren stood up abruptly, "This is the court, wait..." He was halfway through speaking, and pushed Master Ge who was sitting next to him, and the push was just enough to pounce on him Ma Jin approached, and Ma Jin grabbed Mr. Ge, put the knife on his neck, "Stand back!"

Zhu Xun hurriedly withdrew his hands and shouted, "Don't mess around."

"Let us go, otherwise, we will collect his body." Ma Jin said angrily.

Xiao Hanqing got up, turned back his clothes to reveal flesh and blood, he stood in front of Ma Jin, smiled sinisterly, and said: "Prepare the horses and send us out of the city."

Shen Zhan and Su Wanru looked at each other, and then Shen Zhan said, "Get him a horse!"

"Hanqing." Xiao Hanyi sighed and begged, "Forget it, after so many years, don't you just do this all your life? That woman died long ago, so why bother?"

Xiao Hanqing replied: "Things have a beginning and an end. When I do things, I never give up halfway."

Said, and the horse backed up.

The knife was on Lord Ge's neck. Although Shen Zhan could kill Xiao Hanqing, he couldn't save Lord Ge.

It's not worth sacrificing Mr. Ge for this person, and even if he has a horse, he can't escape.

Back and forth, when we reached the gate of the city, Xiao Hanqing was at the end of his strength, and got on his horse. A dozen black-clothed men appeared around him, blocking the front to protect Xiao Hanqing. Ma Jin grabbed Mr. Ge and said, "Master, you go!" Alright, let's break up."

Xiao Hanqing didn't speak, turned his gaze to Shen Zhan and Su Wanru, sneered, and only mouthed to Shen Zhan, saying: "I'll wait for you in Chengdu Mansion!" Then, he led a few people to urge the horse away.
