Everyone paid homage to the emperor, and Yan Hongzhi asked them to stand up and speak.

Then, Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion were ordered to submit the case files.

Jingzhao Mansion has two copies:

One is a case of Aunt Wang causing trouble and committing suicide in the street, including the case of contracting the marriage of the legitimate daughter and the murder of a substitute bride.

The other case is about the case where Ying Caiyue gathered a crowd to cause trouble and smashed Yidianchun Pharmacy, and she was trampled and lost her fetus.

As for Dali Temple, there is the case about Ying Caiyue in the afternoon.

The two sides concluded the case, Jingzhao Mansion kept the case record, and the chief trial was handed over to Dali Temple.

Therefore, to resolve the accusations of both parties, the emperor only needed to see the merged dossier of the two institutions.

The case of Wang's suicide can only serve as an auxiliary function to speculate on the causes and consequences of the subsequent case.

The minister of Dali Temple made a speech to the emperor and explained the case clearly.

After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and waited for the emperor's decision.

"Yan Xiang, do you still insist on your previous statement?" Yan Hongzhi had already heard the arguments from both sides before, and he actually knew what he said.

Recently, he has been very disappointed with his eldest son.

Especially the matter of favoring concubines and destroying wives.

Although, as ministers of the Chang family, even if their daughter got married and was wronged by her husband's family, they would not dare to show their face to the emperor.

But in their hearts, it is hard to say whether they will still be as wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor as before!

Yan Xiang did not expect that he would be the first to be questioned.

He stood up and said, "Father, Caiyue is just out of filial piety and wants to seek justice for her biological mother!"

"She has received a lot of love from the Wang family since she was a child. It is normal for her to have such a heart."

"She doesn't want what happens next!"

Yan Hongzhi looked at Yan Peiyu and asked, "Peiyu, what do you think?"

Call your son by his name.

Calling nephew instead shouts the word.

This shows how much the emperor is partial to Prince Kang!

This has always been the case for so many years.

It can be said that he was pampered and loved, but Yan Peiyu never imagined that the person who poisoned him and almost killed him was actually the imperial uncle who loved him so much!

He bowed his hands and said: "This matter is originally a grudge between the sisters. Why not let the Crown Princess answer it?"

It's not that he doesn't want to stand up.

Instead, stand on Ying Cailan's side and redress his grievances as the main focus.

Then, as a husband, he followed up to complain out of love for his wife.

It will be better if we cooperate like this.

With Yan Xiang's stupid methods, he separated from his princess for the sake of an unknown woman.

Now that one person is responsible for all the reckless behavior, what will happen in the end?

Yan Hongzhi agreed: "Prince Princess, you say."

Ying Cailan was looking at her toes with lowered eyes. When her name was called, she stood up and said, "When I go back to the emperor, my wife's words don't count. What the evidence and witnesses say counts!"

He actually came up with the best solution without any personal emotion.

Not to mention, even the eldest prince is not so calm and rational!

Of course, this confident look makes her even more confident.

Yan Hongzhi glanced at her, turned to look at the Dali Temple Qing, and said, "Jiang Qing, tell me."

"I obey the decree."

Jiang Liang saluted and said: "We have already interviewed some of the rioting people caught at the scene. There are confessions that show that someone paid them to go to Yidianchun Pharmacy to cause trouble!"

Yan Xiang's breath suffocated.

Why is this happening?

"Who is it?" Yan Hongzhi asked.

Jiang Liang replied: "It is said that he is a middle-aged man with a black mole at the corner of his mouth."

"While I was being interrogated, the imperial decree coincided with the imperial edict calling me into the palace, so I could only put it aside temporarily before I could let the witnesses identify me."

"but!"

He made a twist and added: "Both Dali Temple and Jingzhao Mansion have been registered. Multiple confessions from passers-by, neighboring shops, and clerks and patients who were in the pharmacy at the time indicate that..."

"Mrs. Caiyue from the First Prince's Mansion led people to Yidianchun Pharmacy and had a dispute with the Crown Princess."

"The troubled people were overly excited and smashed the pharmacy."

"And Mrs. Caiyue accidentally got involved in the crowd, was trampled and beaten, resulting in serious injuries and a tire slip!"

In other words, Ying Caiyue brought all the blame on herself - she went to cause trouble on her own and ended up getting herself killed!

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiang's face turned dark.

Yan Hongzhi was silent.

No one expected that Zhao Cheng, a talented person, would take the initiative to stand up at this time and said: "I dare you, I beg the emperor to allow me to report!"

He said he was a third-grade imperial official.

To put it mildly, only those of the fourth rank and above of the Liang Dynasty could go to court.

As a Jing Zhaoyin, almost everyone has to bow and bow when meeting anyone in this temple.

His usual style of doing things has always been to hide when he can and make use of the situation.

Being so brave today is entirely because of Ying Cailan!

That woman looks sweet, but is actually too cruel.

With so many things surrounding him, how could he still escape?

Simply, take this opportunity to gamble and tie yourself to her.

If you win, you can ride the wave!

"Yes." Yan Hongzhi naturally had no reason not to speak.

I saw Zhao Cheng saying: "A few days ago, before Yidianchun Pharmacy opened, some crazy people broke in and smashed it."

"The imperial concubine suffered losses and filed a complaint with the Jingzhao Mansion. Based on the eyewitness accounts, I captured several of them."

"After some questioning, I learned that they also took other people's money and purposefully damaged the Crown Princess's property!"

"I was about to open a court to hear the case, but a middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his mouth came to Jing Zhaoyin."

"The other party claimed that the eldest prince was watching this matter from above and asked the minister to decide the outcome of the case at will."

"I didn't dare to disturb justice, so I specifically asked the Crown Princess what she wanted."

"The Crown Princess knows the basics. She said that her arms can't twist her thighs, so she can only suppress the case temporarily."

"So, this case remains unsolved for the time being."

"I have brought the case file and can present it to the Emperor for review!"

His words somewhat overlap with what Jiang Liang said:

A middle-aged man with a mole at the corner of his mouth!

"Who is that?" Yan Hongzhi asked.

Ying Cailan responded: "Your Majesty, if I guess correctly, it is the lady-in-law's lover who has always been with Mrs. Caiyue! Of course, she is not a servant of the Ying family, but A domestic slave in the First Prince’s Mansion!”

The reason why we use the word "love" is naturally because they are secretly together.

They have no names or distinctions, so they cannot be called husband and wife.

Yan Hongzhi came to the conclusion: "So, that middle-aged man is from the eldest prince's house and helps Ying Caiyue; and the case of smashing the drug store was suppressed, was it because of the eldest prince's intention?"

His eyes glanced at Yan Xiang, and the pressure was also put on him!

Not only was there a cold sweat on his back, but he hurriedly said: "Caiyue has always been very kind to the slaves below. Think about it, those slaves are the ones who make the decision secretly to fight against their master, so they do such a thing?"

In the imperial study room, there was silence, and everyone's breathing was obvious.

Suddenly, there was a sneer!

Everyone looked towards the person who was laughing.
