Chiyang raised his head in shock and stared at Li Jingxing for a while.
Li Jingxing felt uncomfortable looking at her and asked, "Don't you want it?"
Although there was a gap between Chiyang and Li Jingxing in her previous life, she had always stayed by Li Jingxing's side. She knew that the people around Li Jingxing were loyal and reliable people, so she had no intention of refusing and nodded vigorously: "I want it. But Your Highness doesn't need to assign a concubine. I am worried that there are still people who are harmful to my father and have evil plans against the Chi family army. It would be great if Your Highness could send someone to look after my father and keep an eye on him to see if there are any traitors."
The Chi Jiajun was originally inherited by the eldest brother Chi Mingyu, but she married Li Jingxing. In order to show his loyalty to the emperor, Chi Yue sent Chi Mingyu to the imperial court. From now on, the Chi Jiajun will be taken over by someone appointed by Li Zetian.
Li Jingxing nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about your father-in-law. Guhui will send someone to take care of him. You should just keep him. Use him when you need him. If you don't, put him aside for now. Anyway, don't delay things."
There is a traitor on his father-in-law's side. This matter is crucial and he will definitely not sit idly by.
Everyone said it was my job, and it would be pretentious to refuse any more. He said happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, I can't thank you enough."
Li Jingxing's gratitude to Chiyang was very helpful, and his mood improved visibly.
"You and I, husband and wife, don't need to be too polite."
Xiao Fuzi's voice sounded outside: "Your Highness, Master Du wants to see you."
"Let him come in and talk!"
"okay!"
After a while, Du Qing came in from outside and saluted, "I have met His Highness and the Crown Princess."
Seeing his hesitation, Li Jingxing said, "Just tell me what it is."
There is no need to avoid the pond to express the unspoken sound.
Du Qing then said: "The eldest son of the Rong family was arrested today and is now in Jingzhao Mansion Prison."
Li Jingxing asked: "What's going on?"
"Rong Xu had a dispute with a scholar on the street five days ago. The two sides got into a fight over a disagreement. The scholar was beaten more severely. This morning he was found dead at home with bleeding from his mouth and nose. The examination revealed that he had suffered internal injuries. Caused by delayed treatment.
The scholar's family took Rong Xu to the Yamen on the charge of intentional murder. The Rong family's head office contacted people from Jingzhao Mansion, but the matter was a bit big and someone was obstructing it. Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to go too far. Favoritism, Master Narong will definitely be in jail for three to five years. "
By the time he came out, the Rong family had already fallen into the hands of the second house, and there was no room for him to use it.
Besides, whether he can get out of prison alive is another matter.
"What exactly happened?" Li Jingxiao said.
Du Qing explained what happened in detail.
It turned out that five days ago, on the way home from drinking with three friends, Rong Xu was robbed of his wallet by a thief.
He reacted quite quickly. When he turned around, he saw his wallet being held in the hands of a man dressed as a scholar. He then insisted that the scholar was a thief and wanted to drag the man to see the official.
But the scholar insisted that he was not a thief. As he was walking, someone put a purse in his hand, and before he could react, he was framed as a thief.
Both sides insisted on their own words, and the scholar's words were a bit unpleasant. Rong Xu had drunk some wine, and he got angry first and started to fight. Then the two sides began to fight, and it soon turned into a big fight.
Later, the two parties met with the officials, but Rong Xu did not bully others. The governor of Jingzhao tried the case fairly.
There were two obvious traces of lard on the purse, and the hands of the scholar and Rong Xu were clean, so it was concluded that someone else had stolen the purse.
Rong Xu was not dissatisfied. He not only apologized to the scholar but also paid him some silver, and the two parties reconciled.
Unexpectedly, the scholar died suddenly five days later. An autopsy confirmed that the death was due to a ruptured spleen caused by external force. Rong Xu happened to kick the scholar in the stomach, and it was basically concluded that Rong Xu was responsible for the scholar's death. murderer.
The scholar's family insisted that Rong Xu pay for his life and refused to forgive him. Although Rong Xu was unintentional, he had wronged people first and beat them to death. With the pressure from above, the Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to show favoritism and could only kill people. People are imprisoned and sentenced.
Li Jingxing was silent for a long time after listening.
Chiyang was also lost in thought, but it was still a step too late after all.
This incident happened to happen at the time when the power of the Rong family was changing. It could not have been without the handiwork of the second room, and the second room belonged to Li Jingxiao. In the final analysis, it was Li Jingxiao's design.
Du Qing hesitated and said: "Your Highness, can Mr. Rong still be saved?"
The witnesses and material evidence are all there, so it may not be easy to overturn the case, not to mention someone else did it deliberately.
Li Jingxing rubbed the new thumb on his right thumb and did not answer. For a moment, Chi Yang's voice sounded in his mind.
[It seems that there is no way to get rid of the bully. In fact, you can go to that person named Zhao Linhe to think of a way. This person is good at strategy. He might be able to find a way to exonerate Rong Xu. How should I remind him? 】
While Chiyang was thinking hard, Li Jingxing suddenly said: "Do you remember the lawyer who came to redress his grievances four days ago?"
Du Qing immediately remembered it, nodded and said, "I will remember it."
"This man is very courageous and scheming. Let's use this matter to test his abilities."
Although Du Qing was suspicious, he didn't dare to say it.
"I obey my orders!"
"Be careful when you go, don't let anyone see you." Li Jingxing warned.
He also pointed out that Zhao Linhe was shining brightly in the Spring Festival, and did not want the other party to be labeled a princeling.
"yes."
Chiyang glanced at Li Jingxing appreciatively.
[The dog actually thought of the same place as me. He could tell that Zhao Linhe was unusual, and he had some sharp eyesight. 】
Li Jingxing felt a little guilty, but he didn't show it on his face.
Du Qing acted quickly and came back to life in the evening. Chiyang was also present.
Du Qing said excitedly: "Your Highness, this Mr. Zhou is really extraordinary. He said that the scholar and the thief are probably accomplices, and they are suspected of collaborating to steal money and then extort the owner. He asked his subordinates to check if there are any brothers in the scholar's family. Or make good friends.
The subordinate went to inquire around the scholar's home and found out that the scholar had a thirteen-year-old younger brother who was an apprentice in a martial arts school. He had some skills and could easily steal ordinary people's wallets. He had already brought him back, but he was tight-lipped. Very good, do you want some punishment? "
The scholar's younger brother, Zhang Dongsheng, was imprisoned in the woodshed.
Li Jingxing was about to nod when he heard Chiyang "say" again.
[Du Qing's method of judging dead assassins would probably scare children to death. 】
[If they have a good relationship as brothers, why not tell him first that his brother was killed by someone and not accidentally beaten to death by Rong Xu. Maybe there will be unexpected gains if he takes the initiative to speak. 】
"Let's take gentle measures first."
Du Qing was a little surprised, because as a rule, he was beaten half to death first.
Chiyang took advantage of the situation and said, "What's going on at the scholar's family?"
Du Qing said: "Back to the princess, the brothers' parents died early and they were raised by their grandparents. The old man died of illness the year before last, and the old woman is still alive, but she has been bedridden all year round. She is now half dead."
