Although……
actually……
The old emperor didn't want to hear what Di Ying said.
But if you deal with Di Ying without asking the root cause, it will be unjustifiable in the court. If she is too selfish in favoring the Wu family, the courtiers will use her again to attack her.
Wu Qiongsi followed His Majesty's finger and saw that it was Di Ying. He wanted to pounce on him with his mouth open, as if he wanted to bite Di Ying to death.
The old emperor gave him a kick to stop him.
Di Ying, who was woken up by the hospital, opened her eyes and struggled to get up to salute His Majesty when she saw him.
I tried to hold it up a few times with my hands, but failed to hold it up. My whole body became unsteady.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk about what's going on."
The old emperor rolled his eyes at him and asked directly.
Di Ying leaned on the shoulder of the dean and replied weakly: "In the second half of today, Weichen, I will go to the mountains and forests outside the northern suburbs to pick up bones and prepare for inspection..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Wu Qiongsi jumped up when he heard this.
After interrupting Di Ying, he scolded: "There are high mountains and dense forests, few people come there, and there are many ferocious beasts there. How could anyone bury the bones there?
Even if someone’s head is buried with iron, it would have been dug out by wild beasts long ago. How can it be your turn to dig up the earth and dig out the bones?
explain! How on earth did you set up a trap and capture my Xiangjin'er? Where are his guards? Where have all the guards gone?
Were they all killed by you too? you say! "
Wu Qiongsi, who had oily hair and pink face, was so angry that his oily hair almost stood on top of his head.
Di Ying pursed her lips and said nothing.
He was not a prisoner, and Wu Qiongsi was not the chief judge. There was no need for him to explain to Wu Qiongsi.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the old emperor staring at him. Di Ying tilted his head and asked Xiangyuan Zhengdao: "You are doctors who collect herbs and make medicines, but do you care about where the grass seeds are blown by the wind?"
Yuan Zheng was confused when he was asked: "Then how can we control it?"
"What if the grass seeds fall in a place where it is difficult to grow?" Di Ying continued to ask.
The white beard on Yuan Zheng's chin trembled and he glared at Di Ying: "It's none of our business!"
Di Ying grinned at Yuan Zheng.
Seeing this, the old emperor grinded his molars, then lightly kicked Wu Qiongsi, warning him with his eyes to stand aside.
He spoke again: "Di Ying, tell me in detail. Don't lie, do you understand?"
Di Ying moved her legs.
After taking a few deep breaths, he continued to speak weakly: "Where did Wei Chen talk about? Oh yes, it talked about bone examination.
As soon as Wei Chen lifted up a leg bone, an arrow from nowhere suddenly pierced his left arm.
Well, this is it.
At that time, Wei Chen screamed in pain. It really hurts.
Then, Wei Chen heard the sound of horse hooves. When he stood up and looked, he saw a young man rushing towards Wei Chen on horseback.
The bow in his hand is still fully drawn, and the arrow on the string is ready to go.
This is clearly an assassin, an assassin who wants to kill the minister! "
When Wu Qiongsi heard this, he immediately wanted to speak again, but Eunuch Su covered his mouth.
Di Ying glanced at Wu Qiongsi.
He continued in an emotional tone: "Wei Chen was stunned at the time. He thought to himself: Wei Chen has never done anything bad, how could he be chased so far?
I want to run, but my legs are a little weak.
Fortunately, Guard Peng Liangpeng appeared in time, kicked the man over, and quickly captured him.
Oh, yes, there have been too many cases recently, and Wei Chen has not even returned home. Wei Chen has not had time to report to your Majesty the matter of selecting ten good men from Zuo Jinwu's guard.
Those ten guards were worthy of being from the Jinwu Guards. They were truly brave and extremely loyal in protecting their master.
As soon as Peng Liang took action, they rushed forward and fought hard for a while, finally knocking the other twenty assassins to the ground.
Seeing the ferociousness of the assassins, Wei Chen did not dare to delay, and did not even bother to treat his own injuries, so he rushed back to Dali Temple and went directly to the hall.
In fact, it is not allowed to be promoted to court, because in recent days, the court in Dali Temple, where Wei Chen is responsible, has not been closed at all.
Wei Chen heard the case with the door open. Peng Liang, the ten guards, and several government officials all witnessed it with their own eyes.
However, it was probably getting late and there were no people around to watch the trial. "
Speaking of this, Di Ying showed a look of regret.
The old emperor bared his teeth.
She asked with a long face: "What do you mean? You don't know that is Wu Xiangjin?"
"I know,"
Di Ying spread his hands and admitted: "How can you try a case without asking about the origin and name of the criminal? Wei Chen is not a confused official. At that time in the court, Wei Chen asked him, and he just said it.
But does this have anything to do with whether he is an assassin?
Your Majesty, do you mean that because he is Wu Xiangjin, he is not an assassin? If he is an assassin, why can’t he be Wu Xiangjin? Not so unreasonable, right? "
The old emperor: "..."
That feeling of chest tightness is here again!
When Wu Qiongsi heard Di Ying calling him an assassin, he could no longer hold back, and forgot to be careful as usual. He took off Eunuch Su's hand and shouted: "Di Ying, don't talk nonsense anymore! Wu Xiang Jin'er is not an assassin at all."
"yes,"
The old emperor felt that he had finally found the point, and continued to ask: "You and he don't even know each other, and you two have no enmity. Why would he lead someone to assassinate you?"
Di Ying said nothing and glanced at the old emperor and then at the injury on his arm.
The old emperor understood.
She wanted to say something: Just the presence of injuries does not necessarily prove that Wu Xiangjin shot him. However, she also remembered that Di Ying said that there were many people present at the time.
The most important people present were those selected by Di Yingxin from Zuo Jinwu's guards. Those people did not agree with Di Ying so quickly.
Just like Di Ying said: Those people are brave and loyal. For now, it is her majesty who is loyal.
The old emperor was confident in this.
She changed the subject.
He wiped his face, threw it to the ground, and said sternly: "Di Ying, even if Wu Xiangjin assassinated you, you didn't kill him on the spot. According to the regulations, you should put him in prison.
It will then be submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for verification, then approved by Dali Temple, and then approved by the chief minister of Dali Temple.
You tried and executed him in court without permission, just because you didn't take the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty into consideration! "
After hearing this, Di Ying slowly got up.
He ignored the old emperor's ugly expression.
Stand up straight and smile with a bit of coolness.
He smiled and asked: "If Wei Chen killed him in the mountains and forests, what if you accuse Wei Chen of intentional murder? If you don't charge Wei Chen with this crime, then does it matter where Wei Chen killed him?"
Saying that, without waiting for the old emperor's reaction, Di Ying asked Wu Qiongsi.
"Your son Wu Xiangjin has been involved in dozens of murder cases. But every time he is involved, someone will surrender.
Those people may be servants in your house, beggars on the street, homeless people, poor people, etc.
Even worse, there is also a 'letter of understanding'. Whenever a 'letter of understanding' is presented, the criminals involved will be released without charge. Lord Shangshu, can you help Wei Chen explain: What is the meaning of this? "
