Su Shi again reprimanded: "Sister Ji, don't make a fool of yourself!"

"I'm your aunt, do you still have any respect?"

She is also an elder no matter what, there is no reason for this dead girl to be the master here!

Su Shi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said in a warning tone, "Sister Ji, Duan Wang and Wang Fei are still in the capital!"

Su Shi deliberately mentioned Duanwang and his wife, naturally to suppress Qin Di. What she thought was that even if Qin Di didn't care about her parents' family, she should always take care of her husband's family. If the family is restless, isn't she afraid that Duan Wangfu will have a prejudice against her first?

!

Qin Di didn't bother to take care of the Su family at all, looked at Jing Zhaoyin in front of him calmly, and asked loudly, "Master Hu, are you taking this case or not?

If you don't answer, then I'll beat the drum! "

Jing Zhaoyin: "..."

Pei Qi, Gong Liu and others were even more excited, and shouted at the side and coaxed:

"Sister, let's go, we will accompany you to beat the drums!"

"Let's go! With us, no one wants to bully you!"

"We'll give you momentum together!"

Looking at this scene, Jing Zhaoyin's forehead visibly seeped a little cold sweat, and he just wanted to kneel down for these young masters. He knew that this peacemaker might not be able to do it today.

Originally, there was a fight between the two children of this in-law. It was no big deal. To put it a bit harsher, these noble children would fight every once in a while, and no one had ever complained to the yamen before.

Hey, why did this happen to me.

Of course, Jing Zhaoyin couldn't just sit back and watch Qin Di play Deng Wen's drum like this, wiped the cold sweat with his cuff, and said quickly, "Yes! Of course this manor will take it!"

"Some people beat drums and complain about injustice. As Jingzhao Yin, this government naturally wants to uphold justice for the people of the capital."

He made a high-sounding appearance, then rang the exclamation wood, and questioned Su Xiyang according to the procedure of the trial: "Su Xiyang, the third girl of the Qin family sued you for murdering her brother, what can you say?

! "

Naturally, Su Xiyang couldn't admit his guilt, so he denied it without thinking: "Master Hu, how could I use this sinister method, Qin Zening's skills were inferior to others, and he fell off the horse, but instead took his anger on me."

Qin Di raised his hand casually and made a gesture, and her little valet Qin Zeyu immediately presented Qin Zening's saddle with a wink.

The head of the Jingzhao House took over the saddle and presented it to the koan.

Qin Di: "Master Hu, this is my elder brother's saddle. The tie on the saddle was cut off with a sharp weapon."

"Master Hu, please take a closer look at the fracture of the lace. The fracture is very smooth, but it shows fine jagged marks, which are different from the incisions left by ordinary sharp tools."

Jing Zhaoyin carefully looked at the broken ties on the saddle, stroked his beard and nodded, "It is true."

Qin Di raised his finger and pointed at the matching knife with colorful gemstones on Su Xiyang's waist, "Master Hu, this machete that Su Gongzi is wearing is a Sheshier machete from Persia. The mouth has hidden serrations."

As soon as those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtroom changed.

Jing Zhaoyin's expression froze, while Su Xiyang's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously held the machete on his waist. However, such a big machete was not something he could hide if he wanted to.

Jing Zhaoyin has been an official for many years, and there are not thousands or nearly a thousand cases tried. Immediately, he could see some clues from the subtle changes in Su Xiyang's expression, and he knew it in his heart: I am afraid that the saddle thing really has something to do with Su Xiyang!

Jing Zhaoyin said again politely, "Young Master Su, please also present your machete for this government to take a look at!"

Su Xiyang held the machete even tighter and didn't move, but the class leader had already walked up to him, looked at him without a smile, and stretched out his hand to him, "Young Master Su."

Su Xiyang hesitated for a while, and finally handed the machete to the class leader.

The head of the class pulled out the machete neatly and took a closer look. Sure enough, as Qin Di said, this machete was a Sheshier machete from Persia, and the blade had serrated teeth.

Jing Zhaoyin compared the cut of the machete with the saddle tie, confirmed it, and nodded, "The tie on the saddle was indeed cut by this machete!"

The court was quiet again, and Su Shi's face was so ugly that ink was about to drip out. He didn't know whether to hate Qin Di for being troublesome or blame his nephew for being stupid, leaving such obvious evidence.

"Master Hu, the evidence is conclusive."

Qin Di followed up and said, "In order to rob the fifth army camp, Young Master Su deliberately cut off my eldest brother's saddle with the intention of murdering my eldest brother. Fortunately, my eldest brother died, but only injured one leg."

"Young Master Su, this is clearly an attempted murder, Master Hu, according to the Great Qi Law, what should be done to those who have attempted murder but hurt others?

! "

Jing Zhaoyin's face was sinking like water.

This case is not easy to judge!

He didn't say it, but Gong Liu took it on his own: "I remember, I remember!"

"According to the Great Qi Law, those who attempt to murder but injure others should be hanged!"

Qin Zening sat in the sedan chair, crossed his arms, and said leisurely, "Gong Liu, you remember Da Qilu very clearly!"

"That is!"

Gong Liu smiled and said sarcastically, "My family is very strict, my father always taught me that there is no intention of harming others, he was afraid that my attack would not be serious, so he read Daqi's law to me all day long, telling me that killing was a serious matter. Pay for it!"

Pei Qi jokingly said: "That's it! Killing people is just right, and if you try to kill someone, you have the intention to kill. If you don't have the ability to get a job, if you secretly kill others, you should be sentenced to hang!"

Susie Yang: "!"

Su Xiyang's mind was full of confusion, fear and fear. If Qin Zening had not insisted on arguing with him, why would he have resorted to such a strategy! Why should it be hanged?

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he shouted in dissatisfaction, "He is not living well, he just fell, how can I kill him!"

"Xiyang!"

Su Shi couldn't take it anymore, and interrupted Su Xiyang quickly.

What did he say!

Qin Di looked at Jing Zhaoyin again, and said, "Master Hu, you also heard that this Young Master Su has pleaded guilty.

His criminal intent is clear, and the adults can be sentenced. "

Jing Zhaoyin: "..."

Jing Zhaoyin is as big as a fight. In fact, he wants the Su family and the Qin family to solve it privately, but the matter has gotten to this point, Su Xiyang has confessed to intentionally hurting people, and if he is not sentenced, it will be inevitable If the rumors spread out, maybe others thought he was covering up the Su family!

"Snapped!"

Jing Zhaoyin knocked on the exclamation wood again, and said seriously: "Su Xiyang, although you have no intention of killing people, you have the intention to hurt people..."

Jing Zhaoyin naturally wouldn't convict Su Xiyang of attempted murder just because of Pei Qi, and he had to follow Daqi's law to decide the case. "

The Marquis of Zhongyi Qin Zhun and another middle-aged man in his forties hurriedly entered the Jingzhao Mansion and walked towards the court, both of them sweating profusely.

Seeing the two of them relieved, Su Shi shouted, "Master Hou, big brother!"

The middle-aged man who accompanied Qin Zhun was the eldest brother of the Su family, Yan Anbo, and Su Xiyang's father.

Looking at the chaos in the court, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief: fortunately, they arrived in time, Jing Zhaoyin has not yet been sentenced, and once the judgment is made, the case will be finalized, and it can no longer be private.

The two exchanged glances with each other.

On the way to Jingzhao Mansion, the two had reached an agreement that Qin Zhun would come forward to help secure Su Xiyang, but Yan Anbo wanted to help Qin Zhun find the vacancy of Shaoqing in Taipu Temple.

Qin Zhun has been serving as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple for several years. The Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is just an idle job, and he is only from the fifth rank, but the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple is the fourth grade, and more importantly, the year of Taipu Temple. Near the sixtieth year, I am afraid that I will be returning home after two years.

With Yan'anbo's helper, this errand should not go wrong.

Qin Zhun's heart was hot, and on the surface, he made a righteous statement, and scolded Qin Di: "Sister Di, this is the court of Jingzhao Mansion, not our own home, what are you doing! What can't you do? Go home and tell your uncle?

! "

Immediately afterwards, Qin Zhun shook his hand at Jing Zhaoyin, who was in front of him, and said politely, "Master Hu, this is just a fight between the two children of our family. It's a child who is ignorant, but It disturbed the adults."

"Hey, this eldest nephew, Ben Hou, has always been aggressive, but because he was angry with his horse, it was inevitable that he was a little more impulsive, and this brought him to court.

After returning to the mansion later, Ben Hou will persuade him well. "

"Benhou apologizes to the adults for his nephew."

Since Qin Zhun has all made up for Qin Zening, he obviously took all the faults on Qin Zening's body.

For Jing Zhaoyin, this is the best. After all, if this case is really judged as attempted murder, then the Su family will definitely not be convinced... If this commotion goes on, it might even quarrel with Yu Qian.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't want to go into the muddy waters either. Since Qin Zhun said so, he just pushed the boat to the muddy water and said, "You've been more polite, Mr. Hou, it's just a misunderstanding."

Qin Zhun gave Jing Zhaoyin a smile, but when he turned to face Qin Di and Qin Zening, his face became stiff, and he reprimanded: "Brother Ning, your sister is still young, that's all, you I'm no longer a child, how can I do things like this!"

"You are the eldest son of the eldest son, and you should learn to be more prudent, otherwise how can you become an example for so many younger brothers and sisters!"

Qin Zening's thin lips pursed into a straight line, just as he was about to say something, he felt his sister tugging at his sleeve and strode in front of him.

"Second Uncle," Qin Di looked at Qin Zhun with his black and white eyes, said both aggrieved and stubborn, "Are you helping Young Master Su?

! "

Qin Zhun stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Qin Di with a straight face, "Uncle ignores his relatives."

Qin Di bit his lower lip slightly, feeling even more aggrieved, and asked again clearly, "So, obviously the evidence is conclusive, does the second uncle want the eldest brother to swallow his anger?"

"Second uncle, do you want the eldest brother to have no chance?"

Qin Di took another step towards Qin Zhun, raised his chin and looked at Qin Zhun who was three steps away. The fourteen-year-old girl stood in stark contrast with the adult man. The former was petite and slender, and she was pitiful; the latter was tall and burly , raised eyebrows and raised eyebrows, people can't help but feel pity for the girl.

"Second uncle, eldest brother... He just wants to make achievements, why don't you even give him this opportunity..."

The girl's voice was a little more choked up, a little weak, and it seemed that she could no longer speak, so she could only bow her head.

She covered her face with a handkerchief, her shoulders trembling slightly, like a delicate flower in the wind and rain.

Qin Zhun: "?"

Qin Zhun didn't expect Qin Di to point the words directly at himself while he was talking. He didn't react for a while, but his face had become very stiff, as if a cloud was covering him.

Jing Zhaoyin in the front looked at Qin Zhun, at Qin Di, and then at Qin Zening, who was injured with a splint on his right leg. He was very embarrassed, and he could hear her meaning from Qin Di's words.

As we all know, the title of the Marquis of Zhongyi should belong to the eldest house, but Qin Jue of the eldest house died in exile, so Qin Zhun of the second house took the title, but the eldest son Qin Zening was left in the eldest house. It is conceivable that Qin Zening's position in the Hou Mansion is somewhat embarrassing, and he must be afraid of his uncle Qin Zhun.

Qin Zhun was afraid that his nephew would rob him of his title, so he has been deliberately suppressing him over the years to prevent his nephew from coming forward, so that his title can be stabilized.

Not only Jing Zhaoyin thought about it, but Gong Liu, Pei Qi and others who were present naturally also figured it out. All the young faces were filled with righteous indignation, and they said in a loud voice:

"Don't you understand that?

! "

"Marquis Zhongyi is suppressing his nephew, for fear that his nephew will come out!"

Qin Di also has to take into account that Qin Zhun is an elder, and he speaks somewhat euphemistically, but these noble sons have no scruples and point it out directly.

"What more!"

Gong Liu glanced between Qin Zhun and Yan An Bo with those fox eyes that were half-smiling, and said sharply, "I think the Marquis probably sold the life of Zening to the Su family long ago. Bar?"

Gong Liu's words almost directly stated that Su Xiyang used this sinister method to cause Qin Zening to fall from a horse, and it was also related to Qin Zhun and Yan Anbo. They probably knew about it long ago and reached some kind of consensus.

I have to say that what he said more or less hit Qin Zhun and Yan Anbo's weakness. Although they didn't know about it in advance, they did reach some kind of deal afterwards.

Qin Zhun and Yan Anbo didn't look good.

In Qin Zeyu's eyes, this is a guilty conscience. Qin Zeyu said angrily: "Second uncle, Yan Anbo, the matter of Su Xiyang causing my eldest brother to fall off the horse can't be left alone! I must give an explanation!"

When Yan Anbo heard the words, his face darkened again. He couldn't lower his body and play tricks with Qin Zeyu and Gong Liu, so he could only give Qin Zhun a warning look and said, "Master Hou, this is the Hou residence. 's tutor?

! You don't care about your nephews and nieces! "

Qin Zhun's face flushed red, and he reprimanded: "Presumptuous!"

He was a little bit angry, and in front of so many people from Yan Anbo and Jing Zhaoyin, he couldn't even control his nephews and nieces. Today, his face is really embarrassing!

Qin Di: "Hey."

Qin Di still lowered his face, holding the handkerchief and wiping the unnecessary tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, even more sobbing: "Although we three brothers and sisters are helpless, we can't let the eldest brother lose his job and swallow his voice. what……"

She raised her head again, her eyes looked even more rabbit-like, and said weakly and firmly to Jing Zhaoyin: "Please also ask Master Hu to uphold justice for my elder brother and bring the guilty people to justice!"

"If Master Hu wants to help Young Master Su, then I have to beat the drum of Dengwen!"

Her voice was loud and determined.

"enough!"

Qin Zhun, who was already furious, couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and his voice rose a bit, "Sister Ji, stop making trouble, don't go!"

The Dengwen Drum is different from the ordinary drum of grievances. It is a hanging drum hanging outside the court. Once it is sounded, it will alarm the entire court and even the emperor. Then the whole capital will watch their Qin family's joke!

Qin Di turned a deaf ear, but turned around.

To Qin Zhun, her actions were tantamount to a silent provocation. Qin Zhun felt that his face was hot, and out of the corner of his eyes he saw that Yan Anbo's brows were even tighter. Or looking at himself with mocking or questioning eyes...

"Sister Ji."

Qin Zhun said angrily, "This marquis is the head of the Qin family! If you still consider yourself a Qin family, you must listen to this marquis!"

Qin Di wiped the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief in his hands, but he refused to let go at all, "Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen."

boom!

A burst of fire went straight to the forehead, burning Qin Zhun's senses, he blurted out angrily: "Then you should get out of the Qin family for this prince!"

Qin Di stood stiffly on the spot, lowered his face again, covered his face with a handkerchief, and trembled slightly...

Qin Zhun's chest couldn't stop heaving, thinking that she was finally willing to give in. Who would have thought, Qin Zening stood up with Zhang Chen's support, "Second uncle, are you driving our brothers and sisters away?"

"Okay! We're not dead, we'll move right away!"

At the same time, Qin Zeyu immediately stood beside his eldest brother, showing by his actions that he was definitely on the same front as his eldest brother and third sister.

If they want to move, the three of them will move together!

Qin Zening turned his head to look at Jing Zhaoyin in front of him, clasped his fists and said, "Master Hu, please make the decision to divide the family for us!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The courtroom fell into a dead silence for a moment.

Jing Zhaoyin, who was still holding the gavel in his hand, was so shocked by this rapid development that he didn't know how to react.

Wasn't this a case of "attempted homicide" originally tried, but inexplicably turned into a case of "family division"?

!

Qin Di took off the veil a little, and the corners of his lips curled up behind the veil. He looked at Qin Zening quickly, and then blinked his right eye again, meaning, nice job!

Qin Zening also blinked his right eye tacitly, as a response.

Qin Zeyu, who was standing beside Qin Zening, happened to see his brother and sister's lawsuit, as if struck by lightning, and Qin Di's smiling voice echoed in his ears:

"It's not appropriate for the elder brother to mention it, then let the second uncle mention it."

Qin Zeyu's heart suddenly brightened, and he wanted to understand.

His sister really asked the second uncle to "take the initiative" to separate the family!

Thinking about it, Qin Zeyu's expression became extremely subtle. At this moment, when he recalled the scenes after he came to the Jingzhao Mansion Court, he felt that his righteous indignation had fed the donkey's liver and lungs, and—

Black, his sister is really black, black heart, black lungs, black stomach!

Hey, does his third brother-in-law know that his sister is such a "black" person?

!

Qin Zeyu suddenly felt some sympathy for the future third brother-in-law who was as gentle as jade, I hope his eyes will be blinded for a lifetime...

Qin Zeyu accidentally lost his mind.

Qin Zhun was so angry that the corners of his mouth shivered, his chest heaved violently, and his breath was slightly panting.

He felt tightness in his chest, covered his chest, stared at Qin Zening and said, "You... say it again?"

Qin Zhun's voice tightened, almost word for word.

"Second uncle is going to drive us away. If we don't leave, we will be dead."

Qin Zening looked at Qin Zhun calmly. He was now half a head taller than Qin Zhun, but just looking at each other like this gave people a sense of silent oppression.

Qin Di walked to the other side of Qin Zening, squeezed the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes. He resisted the "grievance" and said, "Second uncle, you asked me to get out. Can I get out?"

She cooperated very well with her eldest brother, and put the responsibility of separation to Qin Zhun.

Qin Zhun: "..."

"Master Hu," Qin Di didn't care about Qin Zhun's reaction, and said to Master Hu again, "Su Xiyang intends to murder my eldest brother for the sake of his position as the commander of the Central Military Camp. The evidence is conclusive. Please punish the gangster and return my eldest brother. A fair one."

Things have developed to this situation. Jing Zhaoyin knows that today's case will never be resolved. Qin's family will be separated from Zhongyi Hou's house, which shows the determination of Qin Zening's brothers and sisters.

In this case, Jing Zhaoyin can only judge impartially.

"Snapped!"

The exclamation wood clapped again, and Jing Zhaoyin said solemnly: "Su Xiyang deliberately hurt people, the evidence is conclusive, according to the Daqi Law, the government sentenced you to a fine of 3,000 taels of silver and a year in prison, can you serve?

! "

What?

! Su Xiyang couldn't believe his ears, so he turned to Yan Anbo for help, "Father..."

Su shi's face turned green, she was going crazy.

Qin Zhun was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Just as he was about to say a few words to Bo Yan An, he heard Bo Yan An soothingly say to his son: "Xi Yang, don't be afraid, I will go to the palace to ask the emperor for mercy for my father."

Yan Anbo glared at Qin Di and Qin Zening, and didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Zhun at all, so he walked away.

After Yan Anbo left the Jingzhao Mansion, he hurriedly rode into the palace to face the saint, and was led into the imperial study smoothly.

In the imperial study, in addition to the emperor, Gu Zezhi was also there, playing chess with the emperor.

Of course, Yan Anbo knew Gu Zezhi, and he knew that the emperor ordered Gu Zezhi and Qin Di to marry him, but he came to sue Qin Di and Qin Zening today.

Uncle Yan'an didn't care about these details. After he bowed, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the dog and Qin Zening, the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhongyi, had some quarrels today in the suburbs of Beijing. When the two children were competing, Qin Ze Ning was defeated by the horse, and the dog was young and energetic, so he provoked a few words, then Qin Zening sued the dog to the Jingzhao Mansion."

"The dog is innocent, please ask the emperor to be the master of the dog!"

Yan Anbo's voice was more sobbing, like a worried and loving father.

He deliberately slurred his words, only saying that it was a small quarrel between the two, and that Qin Zening couldn't afford to lose, so he would go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint.

Although Qin Zening was the nephew of Empress Wei, Yan An Bo knew that the emperor had become more and more impatient with the Qin family in recent years, but because of the relationship of the deceased old man, the emperor did not want to be told to kill the donkey. , The Qin family has not been moved, but Qin Zhun's idler has not moved his seat for several years.

As long as he persuaded the emperor, the emperor would definitely take this opportunity to suppress the Qin family.

Even if his son's sins cannot be avoided, Qin Zening can't be better off, he has to treat them equally!

The emperor did not change his face, his eyes still fell on the dotted chessboard, and he only asked indifferently: "Can Jingzhao Yin decide the case?"

Yan Anbo: "..."

This sentence made Yan An Bo swallow the words he had prepared for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, Jing Zhaoyin has listened to it..."

"Since Jing Zhaoyin has settled the case, what are you going to do with me?"

The emperor interrupted him, "Go back."

The emperor was too lazy to listen any more, and dismissed Yan Anbo at will.

"..." Bo Yanan stepped back embarrassedly, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

This is not what he thought in advance! The emperor didn't even give him a chance to speak.

The fine is fine, but this is a year in prison... How could my son suffer like this!

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he finally thought of how to go. He picked up a black stone from the chess box and landed it on the chessboard, then raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Zezhi.

Gu Zezhi calmly picked up a white stone and dropped it without hesitation.

The crisp sound of falling sons echoed one after another in the imperial study, and the two of them didn't say a word from beginning to end...

After they finished a game of chess, Yuan Minggang, the commander of Jinyiwei, followed Zhou Xin in and saluted the emperor.

Seeing that Gu Zezhi was also there, Yuan Minggang hesitated.

The emperor picked up the pastel tea cup at hand, used the tea lid to gently skim the foam on the tea soup, and said, "Tell me."

Zhou Xin has served the emperor for more than 30 years. He has always been good at observing words and feelings. After dismissing Bo Yan'an, he asked Yuan Minggang to investigate what happened to Su Xiyang's case. Yuan Minggang is now reporting back and forth.

Yuan Minggang said it impartially.

This case is very simple to say, there are witnesses and physical evidence, the emperor has been listening casually, until Qin Zening proposed separation, he was moved.

Yuan Minggang could see the change in the emperor's mood at a glance, so he elaborated on what happened next. , All these faults still fall on Qin Zhun's body, Qin Zening brother and sister are simply three poor little people who were oppressed, bullied, and even driven out of the house.

Yuan Minggang followed up and said, "Now the whole capital is saying that the Marquis of Zhongyi not only deliberately suppressed the orphans of Changfang to prevent Qin Zening from coming forward, but also drove them out of the house. Brothers and sisters of Changfang had no choice but to agree to split up the family!"
