If the emperor wants to care about it, she will take out the money and turn it over to the treasury. If the emperor didn't care about the money...then she wouldn't accept it politely.
That night, Lin Xi showed the copybook he had written to his brother.
Thank God, her brother was finally not angry with her anymore, and he even talked to her a lot this time, so the weather had cleared up.
He Chirang looked at his sister and sighed in his heart.
At first, he just wanted his sister to grow up safely, marry a good husband, and live a happy life.
However, her expectations were dashed, and her sister became the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion and embarked on another path.
——
Although the case was presided over by He Zhirang, it was still tried in Dali Temple.
Lin Xi was worried and wanted to join in the fun.
I want to follow the trial to see if the prince's party is in trouble.
This proposal was flatly rejected by He Zhirang.
"You are not allowed to fool around in the trial. This is a very serious occasion!" After a pause, he realized that he was too harsh, so he slowed down and said, "Be obedient and stay at home. I will make delicious food for you when you come back."
"Oh well."
Lin Xi sighed inwardly, her brother was still coaxing her as he did when he was a child.
But she wasn't so obedient when she was a child, let alone now.
If she was really obedient at home, it wouldn't be her.
A quarter of an hour after He Chirang left, Lin Xi also set off in high spirits.
Although the trial was not open to the public, she had the Queen Mother's token, so naturally no one dared to stop her from entering Dali Temple.
Lin Xi stepped into the courtroom and was stunned for a moment when she saw the witnesses being interrogated this time.
"Why do I feel...she is so kind?"
It seemed as if he had seen it somewhere before. Could it be that he was an acquaintance of their brother and sister in the past, so the elder brother paid special attention to this case.
I heard that my brother sent someone to guard this witness, and he took special care of him.
Shan Wu: "..."
The woman who was brought up also looked surprised when she saw Lin Xi.
It actually looks so similar...
The woman's gaze froze and she slowly gave a bleak smile.
Lin Xi finally turned around and suddenly realized: "Wait...does she look like me?"
Shan Wu: "..."
But no, if you cover the lower half of your face, it will look like an eight-pointer.
The prince secretly spied on their young lady and even found a girl with similar features to bully her. No wonder the eldest son is so angry and wants to investigate the case severely even though everyone has been offended.
No wonder the eldest lady is not allowed to watch the trial...
The author has something to say:

After being exiled, I relied on farming to become a minister.

Annan was a place where officials who committed crimes in the capital were often exiled and relegated. The people were ignorant and poor, witch doctors were rampant, and refugees and bandits were rampant.
Unfortunately, Han Che, an agricultural technician, traveled through time and passed through the body of a county magistrate who had just been exiled to Annan and was about to die of illness.
Facing the ignorant and poor people, there is an extreme lack of wasteland to be cultivated by cattle.
Han Che sighed and could only roll up his sleeves and get started.
enlightenment! Poverty alleviation!
Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard!
As a result, Annan, who had always had the horrifying rumor that "one travels ten thousand miles, never returns a thousand miles", suddenly became famous.
The various specialties produced there attract people rushing to buy them.
Therefore, countless merchants were not afraid of the long journey and hardships, and traveled thousands of miles to Annan for business.
Among them, sugar, together with tea, salt, and iron, was an important strategic material controlled by the imperial court.
Since then, the name Han Che has reappeared in the court.
Later, Han Che relied on helping people farm and help the poor, fighting his way back to the capital and becoming a minister.
Chapter 48
◎I’m happy when I’m not a human being◎
Lin Xi sighed: "Tsk, tsk, the prince actually hates me so much. He even hates people who look similar to me."
Shan Wu: "..."
God, this is not a matter of hatred at all, the prince still has some evil thoughts about you!
Well, no surprise at all.
At first, Shan Wu thought that his young lady was good-looking as Tu Guye. Later I realized that she just wanted others to do the math! I can read the ledger! Picture others’ psychological endurance!
It was as if what was welcomed into the house was an extremely exquisite abacus.
Lin Xi smiled softly: "He hates me so much. Will I still have a good life after he ascends the throne? Why don't we find a chance... to kill him."
Talking about killing someone another day is as easy as talking about going on an outing another day.
Shan Wu: "..."
Your original intention has not changed at all.
It's reassuring yet unsettling.
He Chi fixed his gaze on Green Creek and sighed softly in his heart. When will Maomao be obedient?
No matter what, I'm afraid you will see a brother who is a little different from before.
No matter what, I won't let you suffer in vain.
Today, Dali Temple is more lively than ever, with a dark line of temple servants and guards outside.
The hall was also very lively. The chief judge was sitting in the middle of the main hall, and several officials were sitting on the side of the hall.
Sitting on the right of He Chirang is the doctor of the Ministry of War. As we all know, the doctor of the Ministry of War is also a member of the prince. On the left is Zeng Hua, the young minister of Dali Temple.
The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War came to serve as ministers, and other departments also came to serve as ministers. The case involved a wide range of matters, and six departments came to attend.
The temple guards on both sides of the main hall are tall and solemn-looking.
Lin Xi sighed in his heart, this is an all-star lineup!
Dali Temple has interrogated countless vicious criminals, and several commonly used torture instruments are placed next to it.
It is not uncommon for people who cannot survive the criminal law to die on the spot. There are still bloodstains on the ground that have not been washed away and are accumulated over the years. It is a dull black color.
It makes people feel nervous just looking at it. Several civil servants had already frowned.
Shi Bang was summoned to the hall, knelt on the ground, and raised his head to look at the people in the middle of the main hall.
He had already received the news, and his family had spent 20,000 yuan in silver notes to bribe the chief judge. Now he was not afraid at all, and he had the leisure to look at the other party.
He looks quite young, wearing a dark official robe, which makes his facial features more elegant and elegant, and his face is like a crown jewel.
There was a bit of a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he looked like a good, useless person.
I have to say that being young is a bit overwhelming, compared with the people around me. The relaxed and comfortable look on his face was a bit out of place.
Such a pretty boy, no wonder Princess Pingning is struggling...
But this man is very suitable for being a woman's soft rice.
Looking at his dignified appearance, I didn’t expect him to be so greedy in private, even asking for 20,000 taels of silver! Aren't you afraid of being choked to death?
He Chirang sat in the hall, lowered his eyes and asked: "Is this the powerful general Shi Bang below?"
Shi Bang was still looking at the person and cursing secretly, but when he was suddenly called out, he came back to his senses and said, "Exactly."
He Chirang's expression did not change, not caring about the other party's distraction at all, and asked again: "General Shi, what did you do on the 28th of last month?"
Shi Bang had already rehearsed his answer several times in prison, and said firmly: "I led my subordinates and killed two hundred alien traitors in a bloody battle."
He Chi let a smile appear on his lips: "Are you sure you remember correctly?"
"Of course!" Shi Bang said, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the scars on his arms. He said quite proudly: "This is the injury I suffered that day. The scar is the glory of a man!"
"General Shi is young, but his memory is not very good. Why don't you think about it more seriously?" He looked kindly, but he took out a stick and threw it on the ground: "Come on, the scar is your glory, so you shouldn't care about it. Just a few more scars.”
The officials watching were all stunned.
Before coming, no one paid much attention to the chief judge. After all, no one dared to offend the prince, so he was pulled out.
It took ten days for the trial to begin. I thought the case was muddled and passed away. I didn't expect that after just asking a few questions, I was sentenced to death.
Can you tell me the truth? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that he really hates Shi Bang...
Clamping is a method of punishment in which three connected wooden sticks are used to squeeze the victim's feet. The executioners' men are all very skilled, and they are best at torturing people until they are in pain but unable to die.
Zeng Hua, the young minister of Dali Temple, touched him and signaled that he should not act rashly, as this would be suspected of being tortured to extract a confession.
He Chirang didn't take it seriously and said softly: "The emperor only asked me to protect His Highness the Crown Prince... He didn't say that he would be safe. I knew it well."
He waved his hand to indicate that he was going to be executed, and Zeng Hua's silence was regarded as acquiescing to his behavior.
Temple guards always obey orders and do not dare to delay.
