In the lobby, the prince said coldly: "Since it is a public trial, if there are testimonies, then speak out, and if there is evidence, then present it, so why make a false statement?"
The Vice Minister of Zhongshu frowned, "His Royal Highness."
The prince's voice turned cold, "Since you still know that Gu is the prince, you should know that today's chief judge is Gu! Get out of the way! You are just here to listen, and you have no right to speak here!"
The Vice Minister of Zhongshu hesitated to speak, but in the end he had no choice but to sit back on his chair.
The prince looked at Xia Jingyun and softened his tone, "Xia Jingyun, just say whatever you have to say. I'm here alone and don't say anything else. It's okay for you to speak freely!"
Regardless of whether Xia Jingyun could tell the truth in the end, he would grasp this last straw, because nothing would be worse than the result just now.
Xia Jingyun smiled inwardly when he heard this. It seemed that His Highness the Crown Prince was not stupid. He still knew how to seize the opportunity and raise the right flag.
With the banner of the presiding judge, not to mention a minister of Zhongshu, even if Prime Minister Qin comes in person, he can withstand the pressure for himself.
After all, this is related to his own future, and he is willing to risk everything except his life.
Qin Sichao suddenly smiled at this time, "Gao Yang, I don't know why you decided that I was the mastermind behind the murder of Brother Qin, but you are not afraid of the shadow. If you have any evidence, just show it. I am also very curious. of."
Da Zong was looking at Xia Jingyun who was about to speak, but a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
Will His Majesty, who has already made arrangements for today's affairs, tolerate such unreasonable matters?
Will someone be sent to stop him?
——
"His Majesty!"
Jin Zhong walked quickly in small steps, entered the Qianyuan Hall, and knelt on the ground.
Emperor Chongning, who was still leaning against Ping Ji and reading a book as if he were boneless, raised his head and said calmly: "Is it over with the Ministry of Punishment?"
Jin Zhong did not dare to raise his head. "The three divisions held a meeting and agreed on the culpability of His Royal Highness. When the generals of Zongzheng Temple were about to take action, Xia Jingyun, the sworn brother of Concubine De, spoke out and identified Qin Sichao, the son of Prime Minister Qin, as the culprit. There was opposition from all sides. As the presiding judge, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to his request and is now confronting him."
Emperor Chongning quietly sat up and his expression became a little gloomy, "Xia Jingyun?"
Jin Zhong knelt on the ground and did not dare to say a word.
This matter was too big. Although he had a good impression of Xia Jingyun, he did not dare to defend him at this time.
Emperor Chongning said coldly: "Jin Zhong, hurry to the Ministry of Punishment and inform King Qi so that he can act as planned. Anyone who blocks it will be imprisoned!"
Before he finished speaking, a call came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Concubine De wishes to see you."
"not see!"
Emperor Chongning was furious and waved his hand.
At this moment, Gao Yi said softly: "Your Majesty, could Mr. Xia do this under the instruction of Concubine De?"
Emperor Chongning frowned, thought about the pros and cons, and shook his head, "Concubine De should not act like this. There must be a reason for this."
When these words came out, Emperor Chongning himself hesitated for a moment, then changed his words: "Let her in."
Concubine De walked in slowly, glanced at Jin Zhong who was kneeling on the ground, and saluted the emperor.
Emperor Chongning remained calm and said, "My dear concubine, come here now, is there something wrong?"
Concubine De nodded, took out a folder from her sleeve and handed it to Emperor Chongning, "Gao Yang sent me a handwritten letter early this morning, saying that the situation was urgent and there was no time to request permission to enter the palace to report to His Majesty, so I asked him to I sent it to you, and I thought that he had just finished his Chunwei exam yesterday and acted like this when he should have been resting. There must be something inside, so I didn't dare to neglect it and came to report it to Your Majesty."
Emperor Chongning reached out and took it, opened it and took a look. His expression immediately became solemn after just one glance.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, as if weighing, and finally waved his hand, "Jin Zhong, there is no need to go."
——
In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Xia Jingyun listened to Qin Sichao's words and nodded with a smile, "Yes, this is the Mr. Qin in my impression. He is unfazed by favors and humiliations, and as gentle as jade. Since Mr. Qin has said so, I will talk about it first. That’s my guess.”
Qin Sichao smiled and said, "If it's just a guess, is it appropriate to say it here?"
"Let's talk about it first. Aren't the remarks everyone made about His Royal Highness just now just speculation?"
Xia Jingyun also smiled, defended the prince again, and then said: "The Qin family is the richest in the world. It is a strong boost to any force, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is naturally no exception. What's more, the Prime Minister's Mansion is also There is an advantage that no one else can match, that is, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Qin family both belong to the Qin family. Although they are not from the same clan, it is much more convenient than the others. Think of a way to recognize the ancestor and return to the clan, and then Li Daitao is dead. Stealing the Qin family's foundation cannot be stopped by outsiders even if they want to."
Xia Jingyun's words pointed out the mystery, which made many people's hearts move. Everyone was so fascinated that they forgot to say anything to stop it.
"However, in the early years, the Prime Minister's Office tried such a method, but Fengyang Gong was not stupid at all. He did not want to take on the troubles of this same clan and the same clan. Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office could only find another way out. However, all the forces in Zhongjing City basically They are all stable and familiar, so it is difficult to stir up disputes. Unfortunately, this unlucky guy came to Beijing."
Because it involved the family scandal of the old Qin family leader, Xia Jingyun temporarily concealed his plan against the Shi family and jumped directly to the main topic.
"So, Mr. Qin personally took the initiative and asked me to have a conflict with Mr. Qian in the Fenghe Pavilion because of the death of a brothel girl. This conflict was known to the entire Zhongjing City. As for the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion, it was influenced by others. Heibingtai should have made a final decision on the conflict between me and Mr. Qian, right? The evidence is conclusive, right?"
In the eyes of everyone, the first black fox on the Black Ice Platform had no choice but to nod.
Xia Jingyun continued: "Young Master Qian is proud and arrogant. He fought with me for two games. Everyone here must know the inside story. But just losing two battles and losing a little money is not enough for the Qin family, which is the richest in the world." It's not a dilemma at all, so I was inexplicably assassinated on the way out of the palace. It involved the life and death of soldiers, and this matter suddenly became a big deal."
"At first, everyone thought Mr. Qian was the mastermind behind my assassination. But three days later, Mr. Qian died on the street. While the suspicion on him was cleared, it also instantly pushed the Qin family into an extremely dangerous situation. At this time, it was It’s time for Mr. Qin to take action.”
"When Empress Dowager De and many people who were willing to help put pressure on the Qin family, the Xiangfu appeared as a savior and proposed to the Qin family to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan. Then the Xiangfu could help the Qin family avenge themselves. Duke Fengyang! "
Xia Jingyun turned to look at the old Patriarch Qin, "I don't know if this junior's guess is accurate, but is this relevant?"
Patriarch Qin showed his amazing acting skills at the critical moment. Hearing this, he was startled at first, then seemed to understand, and then nodded doubtfully, "It is indeed true."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but murmur in their hearts. This line of reasoning seems to make perfect sense!
"Hehehehe!"
At this moment, Qin Sichao suddenly chuckled, shook his head and said: "I thought that Gao Yang was extremely talented, extremely talented, and stood out from others, so he must have great opinions, but I never thought that they were just such crude words."
"Everything you just said was based on speculation. If you said this, I could make up three or five different stories for you on the spot. Is this a cautious attitude in judging cases?"
"The only substantiation in what you said just now is about the Fenghe Pavilion matter. But why is it me who is behind that boss, and not His Highness the Crown Prince as mentioned before, or is it you?"
Qin Sichao was worthy of being the number one son in Beijing. He easily refuted Xia Jingyun's remarks just now and turned the tables on a group of people who had originally supported him.
Xia Jingyun didn't panic at all, "Don't worry, Master Qin. I just explained the cause and effect clearly to let everyone know that you are not completely unrelated to this matter, and you also have sufficient motives. As for the truth of this fact!"
Xia Jingyun turned around and bowed to the prince on the stage, "Your Highness, I would like to summon someone to assist you. It only takes three steps to find out the real murderer!"
The prince looked at him and said without hesitation, "Accurate!"
