Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Sir, please take care of yourself. I will resign!

Director Zhang is a person who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be almost fifty years old and still just a small sixth-grade head of the Criminal Department.

Without tact and sophistication, and without the strategy to stabilize the country, how can he get along in the court?

He bowed his hands to Li Nuo, turned around and left the execution hall.

When Li Nuo saw this, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

This old chapter is upright, but it lacks a little flexibility. However, such people can still shine brightly in certain special positions.

For example, go to the Yushitai to be a critic.

Whatever.

Let’s talk about it later.

Now, of course, I’m going to take a look at poor Mrs. Zhang.

Li Nuo walked to the Prison Prison, where the dying Zhang lay on a haystack in a dark and damp cell. If he didn't have a doctor to treat his injuries, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to survive the night.

But Li Nuo didn't say anything, and the top leader of the Ministry of Punishment, Lao Yu, entered the palace again. Who among the people below would dare to risk offending Duke Wu An to find a doctor for the Zhang family?

It is better to do less than to do more, and act like you don’t know what to do.

Anyway, if the sky falls, it's none of their business. The two tall men, Wu An Gong and Yu Shangshu, are holding it up!

Bang, bang, bang.

The sound of the iron chain holding the door swayed, and the cell was opened by the jailer. Li Nuo walked in and looked down at the poor woman.

Zhang heard the noise and opened her eyes with difficulty. She moved her lips, but no sound came out.

She is too weak.

His face was pale, and the vitality in his body was gradually passing away, looking like he was about to disappear.

Li Nuo knelt down, pinched Zhang's chin, and then stuffed a [blood-activating pill] into her mouth.

Mumble...

The elixir melted in the mouth, and the powerful vitality was released in Zhang's body.

Zhang felt better now and felt that her strength was slowly returning.

Her vague breathing also became even. She endured the severe pain and supported half of her body. It was really difficult to understand Li Nuo's behavior, so she asked: Why?

what why?

Li Nuo asked rhetorically.

Since Mr. Li bent my body and beat me to death, why did you give me pills to save my life?

Zhang's mood was extremely complicated.

The man in front of her personally pushed her into the gate of hell, but after wandering around, he rescued her again.

What is this going to do?

It's right to slap you, because you are a married woman, but you still don't know anything about your ex-husband's brother-in-law. I'm thinking, you should have thought about killing Nangong Qinhu, right? But... After all, your crime is not worthy of death, so I decided to let you go.

Li Nuo explained calmly.

Being told what was on her mind, a wry smile appeared at the corner of Zhang's mouth: I wonder if Mr. Li has time, would you be willing to listen to the story of the peasant woman?

I don't have time and I don't want to hear it.

Li Nuo shook his head and refused.

He immediately took out a pen and paper and handed it to Zhang, Let's draw and sign it.

Hua Zhi?

Zhang didn't know why.

Come on, don't waste time.

Li Nuo urged.

Mrs. Zhang took the case file and looked at it carefully, with a look of astonishment on her face: Sir, this is...

I said that your crime will not lead to death. The previous confession is invalid. This one should be indispensable, right?

Zhang's eyes became moist again, and big tears came out of her eyes, rolling down like pearls.

Not only is it right!

If this confession is recorded, she can be released from prison openly tomorrow.

Li Nuo nodded with satisfaction and said: I have found out everything about you. When your husband Zhang Ruinian died in the battle, you became a widow. Your brother-in-law Zhang Fengnian often came to help you, and gradually you two fell in love with each other. However, due to the constraints of human ethics, he did not dare to cross the thunder pond. He was only interested in love and stopped in etiquette... Later, Nangong Qinhu fell in love with you. You knew that you had no power and could not resist, so you married into the Nangong family. …”

Zhang and Zhang Fengnian can be regarded as a pair of hard-luck mandarin ducks.

Remarrying a widow is inherently objectionable, but if she marries her brother-in-law, she will definitely be stabbed in the spine, and she will be known as a shameless bitch for the rest of her life.

In order not to let her brother-in-law suffer the same infamy, and not to let her brother-in-law be constantly threatened by the Nangong family, she had no choice but to marry the old man Nangong Qinhu.

Although she became the mistress of Nangong's mansion, no one in the entire mansion took her seriously. Even the concubines often bullied her.

She knew that the so-called hostess was just a cover up.

Unless the imperial court rectifies her integrity and gives her the status of a royal wife...

But Li Nuo was wrong about one thing.

Mr. Zhang has never had any intention of killing Nangong Qinhu.

She didn't dare.

Her plan was to fly away with Zhang Fengnian and remain anonymous.

But while this plan was still brewing, Nangong Qinhu was killed.

In fact, she probably knew who the murderer was - that concubine Zhang Yumei could never escape suspicion!

The figure is round, not plump, but...pregnant.

How does she know?

Because she saw Zhang Yumei retching and secretly drinking anti-fetal medicine!

But the child in her belly was not from Nangong Qinhu!

Once, she accidentally discovered that Zhang Yumei and Nangong Ziyao were having an affair!

However, she did not expose this matter, and even pretended that she did not see it, keeping it in her heart.

Because she also hated Nangong Qinhu very much.

But she never imagined that she had not betrayed Zhang Yumei, but they had beaten her up and poured dirty water on her body, which was going to kill her!

And Li Nuo gave her a new confession: Zhang Yumei and Nangong Ziyao's affair was exposed, and then they became malicious... She was willing to testify!

In fact, it was the first time I saw Zhang Yumei in the courtyard of Nangong Mansion. Li Nuo felt that her heartbeat was a little different from ordinary people.

Coupled with Zhang Yumei's figure, Li Nuo really doubted whether she was pregnant.

Of course, this is all his guess.

And Nangong Qinhu, an old guy, has taken more than a dozen concubines, but only Nangong Zishuo is the only one. What does this mean?

This is enough to show that Nangong Qinhu's thing was definitely injured in the early years, and it was irreversible, making it extremely difficult to give birth to an heir.

Then here comes the problem!

If Zhang Yumei is really pregnant with a child, it is very likely that it is someone else's.

And this lover... Haha, the only ones who can come into contact with concubines like Nangong Qinhu are...

At first, Li Nuo also doubted whether it was Fatty Nangong. But after meeting Nangong Xiaopang, he immediately rejected his conjecture.

So, he placed his suspicion on his adopted stepson Nangong Ziyao!

Take good care of yourself. If nothing else happens, you will come out as a witness. When the time comes, just tell everything you know.

Li Nuo said meaningfully.

Thank you for your mercy, sir.

Mrs. Zhang was very excited.

Li Nuo smiled noncommittally: You should be lucky that it wasn't you who did it...

After taking care of Mr. Zhang, Li Nuo turned around and left the prison, went to the case room, and changed the previously recorded confession.

Looking at the confession that he had surrendered to before, Li Nuo smiled, and then with a burst of inner strength, he completely turned it into ashes.

Now.

It just depends on which guy in the court will jump out.

For some reason, Li Nuo gradually fell in love with this fishing feeling.

I hope I can catch a big fish this time!

Although he often fails in fishing, he never gets tired of it, which is true to the saying: he is good at fishing and loves to play.

The next day.

Yin hour three quarters.

The little eunuch who was delivering the decree from the palace came to the Ministry of Punishment: According to your Majesty's oral instructions, I declare Lord Li to go to court.

I obey the order.

Li Nuo was already dressed and waiting to be summoned.

A few moments.

Outside the Meridian Gate.

All the civil and military officials were whispering.

Nangong Qinhu was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, but he was killed in his own house. This incident has caused an uproar. If it is not handled well, everyone will be in danger.

This is a third-grade official, and he will kill as soon as he says so! If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, the court will be disgraced.

Good morning, gentlemen.

The arrival of Li Nuo immediately silenced all the princes.

Hmph! Li Zian, as a suspect, if you don't stay well in the prison of the Criminal Department, how can you dare to come out?

The person who spoke with a mocking tone was Wang Ziyan from the Wang family in Shanxi.

This minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who had just taken office, had previously impeached Li Nuo for forming a clique and private interests without any evidence, which caused a mess in Jiangnan. Fortunately, Li Nuo overthrew Zhao Quan, which allowed Wang Ziyan to falsely accuse him of rebelling.

However, he had the support of Queen Wang, and after being honest in prison for a period of time, he came back again.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has no choice but to do so. After all, there is a stain.

Therefore, under the operation of Queen Wang, Wang Ziyan was demoted one level and became the minister of Dali Temple of the third rank.

Huh? So it's Mr. Wang? When were you released?

Li Nuo pretended to be surprised.

snort!

Wang Ziyan snorted coldly.

Tsk tsk tsk, Comrade Lao Wang, you and I are on errands for the court and His Majesty, why should we hurt our harmony, don't you think? I won't argue with you about the past things, so let's just change the story. What do you think? ?”

Li Nuo said generously.

In fact, he also knew that it would be difficult to beat Wang Ziyan to death with a stick.

Unless Wang Ziyan committed an unpardonable crime such as rebellion. Otherwise, as long as Queen Wang reigns, the Wang family will remain standing.

Wang Ziyan was very surprised.

When did Li Zian change his gender?

However, they are destined to be enemies!

Even if Li Zian begs for mercy, Wang Ziyan will not let him go!

A few moments.

The Meridian Gate slowly opened.

Hundreds of officials entered the court.

In the Taiqing Palace.

After three cheers, today's court meeting began.

But this time, I stopped rambling and got straight to the point.

Your Majesty, I impeached the Crown Prince and Grand Master Li Zian. In order to clear himself of suspicion, he used public weapons for private purposes, abused the criminal law, and beat the Zhang family into submission.

An old minister wearing a four-clawed python robe came out.

When everyone saw it, they were all surprised, but they soon figured out what was going on.

This veteran minister is none other than Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion—Prince Rui Li Yi!

At that time, Emperor Jingshun succeeded to the throne with the help of Cui Wuhui, but most of his brothers were slaughtered and imprisoned. Only Li Yi, who was also a commoner, survived, and was even killed by Emperor Jingshun. He was named Prince Rui and became Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion!

Why did Li Yi, who had never come out in public, come to court today?

Because he is related by marriage to the Nangong family!

His eldest son married Nangong Qu's youngest daughter.

The two became in-laws!

Now that Nangong captured the tiger and was killed, Nangong Qu personally came to Luoyang. Of course, his in-laws would also come forward to take care of him.

Emperor Jingtai looked at Li Nuo and looked embarrassed: Li Aiqing, do you want to plead your innocence?

Li Nuo came out of the queue and said with an aggrieved face: Your Majesty, I have been wronged!

Li Yi's eyes flashed: The evidence is conclusive. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can summon Zhang and interrogate her on the spot!

Prince Rui's words are wrong! This is the Taiqing Palace. How can we allow a commoner's daughter to enter the palace? This is really a sign of contempt for the imperial court!

Mr. Chen Shi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up to refute, without giving the prince any face.

He didn't speak for Li Nuo, but for the matter rather than the person.

When Wang Ziyan saw someone trying to step on Li Nuo, of course he wanted to add fuel to the fire.

He said: Master Chen, what you said is wrong! Mrs. Zhang is the official wife of Nangong Capture the Tiger, but she didn't have time to designate her as his wife. It's okay to let her come to the Taiqing Palace. Of course, everything depends on His Majesty's decision.

I second the proposal!

I second the proposal!

Nangong Aiqing works hard, and there is hard work even if there is no credit. What's more, death is the most important thing... Anyway, I will personally come to judge today! In this way, Li Aiqing might as well be innocent!

Emperor Jingtai said pitifully, I'm here to see Mr. Xuan Zhang. I also brought the confession file from the Ministry of Punishment.

According to the order.

Xiao Huangmen, who was delivering the message under the jade steps, immediately led a few powerful men out of the palace.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Zhang was brought into the main hall.

She had never seen such a big scene before, and she almost fainted from fright.

Ms. Zhang, raise your head.

Emperor Jingtai was not angry but was proud of himself.

Mrs. Zhang trembled: Ms. Zhang, a commoner girl, pays homage to Your Majesty.

Don't be afraid. Let me ask you, were you beaten into a trap?

Emperor Jingtai asked directly.

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but glance at Li Nuo, but Li Nuo was serious and didn't give her any reaction.

She didn't know how to answer.

Ms. Zhang! I will decide everything for you, just tell the truth.

Emperor Jingtai looked slightly displeased.

Mrs. Zhang knew that whether she lived or died depended on this time.

She recalled what Li Nuo had said to her in the prison and the [blood-activating pill] he had given her, and even more so, she thought of Li Nuo's reputation.

She finally made up her mind.

She decided to believe this Duke Wu An!

Your Majesty, the confessions made by civilian women are all of their own free will.

Ms. Zhang, you have to think clearly. What you confessed to is a capital crime!

Li Yi was greatly surprised.

Yesterday, Nangong Qu sent someone to tell him that Li Zian beat Zhang Shi Qu into a move!

Mrs. Zhang said sadly: I haven't killed my husband, so how can I be punished with death?

Submit your confession.

Emperor Jingtai said indifferently.

The young eunuch immediately gave his confession.

Emperor Jingtai read it with no expression on his face, and then looked at Li Nuo: Li Aiqing, has the murderer been caught?

He didn't expect that the trap he set up still failed to trap Li Zian.

Li Nuo said neither sad nor happy: If nothing else happens, I should have caught it.

The princes in the Taiqing Palace listened in confusion.

Li Yi hurriedly asked for a confession, but his head went blank and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Nangong Qu, you mistaken me!
