Happy Marriage

The Dali temple minister didn't dare to neglect, he hastily ordered people to serve tea, and flattered Yu Jingyun.

Yu Jingyun drank a few cups of tea and ignored his flattery. He turned his face to An Sheng and said, "These gentlemen do things too much. I'm afraid it will be sunset when they come. I'll rest for a while, don't let the mess People bother me."

An Sheng nodded slightly.

Yu Jingyun leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, moved his nose, breathed evenly, and fell asleep very quickly.

Dali Siqing asked a boring question and didn't take it to heart, because he was full of Chang'an, who knows, Yu Shizi has always been arrogant and arrogant? He glanced at An Sheng and quietly retreated.

An Sheng saw Yu Jingyun's face full of dust and dust, and the tips of his hair were covered with fine dust. Even his lips were chapped, and there was still dried blood. There was a layer of green stubble on his chin. is tired.

Just now, he was only interested in happiness, but he forgot to ask him where the grain was recovered from? It took less than three days of work, one to one, it must be day and night, sleepless.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a soft, light drip of water. In addition to gratitude, there are other kinds of feelings slightly rippling.

I think he is a pampered prince, and today, for his own entrustment, he has spared no effort, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, and risking himself. No matter whether his father is safe or not, how can he repay his affectionate kindness?

Yu Jingyun slept for nearly an hour.

The emperor had a decree, and all the officials, big and small, gathered at the door of the lobby of the Dali Temple. No one dared to speak aloud, and quietly waited for the prince above the main hall to sleep well and his feet were numb.

An Sheng sat on the side, closed his eyes, and sorted out his father's case several times in his mind to make thorough preparations.

Although she has a wild temperament and is not an eldest lady who does not go out of her way, she has never seen such a world before, and she is inevitably a little uneasy in her heart.

Yu Jingyun finally stretched his waist and slowly opened his eyes, again full of light, full of energy, and the power of deterrence all over his body was surging. The whispering of the officials outside the hall also stopped and fell silent.

"It's all here?" Yu Jingyun gulped down the tea in his hand again, exhaling happily.

Officials filed in and greeted him.

Yu Jingyun looked at the sky outside: "Since everyone is here, let's try it quickly, don't delay my evening celebration banquet."

The officials looked at each other, but no one moved.

"The trial begins!" Yu Jingyun urged.

Finally, the courageous one took the initiative to stand up and be the first to say, "Reporting to Shizi Yu, look at this case. Are you an observer? Or the presiding judge?"

Yu Jingyun glanced left and right, and it seemed that he suddenly realized: "Are you saying that I occupied your place? It's enough to say no, and you need to be around like this."

The man hurriedly said "don't dare".

Yu Jingyun stood up consciously and grabbed An Sheng's hand: "Let's just sit on the sidelines, lest they be biased towards favoritism."

All the officials all claimed that they "don't dare", and they were very frightened.

Naturally, there are yamen officers and eyesight, so he set up an auditorium under the hall without orders, Yu Jingyun dragged An Sheng: "Sit."

Another person said boldly: "Yu Shizi, this, this girl heard that she is involved with the defendant in this case, and she is not an official of the court. It seems inappropriate to sit here, right?"

Yu Jingyun said coldly: "This prince is also involved with this girl, that is to say, he also has a relationship with the criminal Xia Yunhai, shouldn't he also avoid it?"

Someone next to him quietly tugged at the man's sleeve, and the man lowered his head quietly: "I don't dare, it's because the lower official is talking too much."

As a little girl who is used to seeing other people's faces and seeking a life, An Sheng is now following Yu Jingyun. In the lobby of this Dali Temple, those court officials who have been showing off their power in the past days are nodding and bowing at him, very polite, An Sheng for a while. Also a little flattered.

Several people humbly sat in the hall with each other, raised the gavel in their hands, glanced at Yu Jingyun, and lowered it gently: "Bring the accused!"

With the sound of heavy iron chains, after eating the meal, Xia Yuanwai, who had survived the catastrophe, was taken to the lobby, his head bowed in surprise, and he knelt down at the bottom of the hall.

Dali Si Qing secretly coveted Yu Jingyun's face, and instructed the yamen: "Open the iron chains."

The yamen took orders and stepped forward to remove the shackles.

Xia Ansheng on the side had already burst into tears, how could he still sit on the high hall in peace? He got up and rushed in front of Xia Yunhai, and called out with a trembling voice, "Father!"

Xia Yuanwai only treated it as a case, what happened? He was confused, how could he have thought that he would see his second daughter here? Immediately it was stunned.

"An Sheng? Why are you here?"

"Father, you are suffering!"

Seeing that the father and daughter were about to hug their heads and cry, the Dali Si Qing coughed lightly: "Xia Yunhai, today is your daughter beating the drum of grievances to denounce your grievances, and to sue many officials in the household department for greed and framing. The case is reopened. What can you say?"

When Xia Yuanwai heard him, his heart suddenly became mixed. He never thought that at the juncture of his own life and death, the one who pulled him back from the gate of **** was actually the second daughter he had never seen before.

He also understands better that his sins are ironclad, and he doesn't know how many people are turning clouds and rains in it, controlling all this. An Sheng was able to turn the tide and ordered the emperor to retry the case, which shows how much effort has been made in these days.

Thinking of this, Member Xia couldn't help but burst into tears, holding An Sheng's hand and shaking uncontrollably.

And Yu Jingyun, who was on the sidelines, has been in the officialdom since he was a child, and he understands the darkness behind this case better than anyone else. He coughed lightly: "Xia Yunhai, it's life or death, this is your last chance. What grievances are there, according to the truth, naturally there is this prince to call the shots for you."

The meaning of Yu Jingyun's words is obvious, he is here to support Xia Yunhai today.

Although Xia Yuanwai had a low official position, he naturally shocked the government and the public, the famous Yu Jingyun. Side by side with the prince of the Hou Mansion, with outstanding military exploits, who is not in awe of the whole court?

He bowed his head and confessed his guilt, not because of other reasons. The biggest reason was because he was too weak and his arms couldn't reach his thighs.

The second reason was that he wanted to die to complete his family, fearing that his family would be dragged down by him again.

Now Yu Jingyun said a word, and his spirit was suddenly shocked. Although he didn't know how his daughter had a relationship with Shizi Yu, but with Shizi Yu's backing, the suffocation in his heart burst out.

"Mr. Qi, the offender has been wronged!"

Several people in the hall couldn't help but looked at each other: "What is wrong, come quickly."

Xia Yunhai "bang bang" kowtowed twice: "The criminal officer did have the crime of leaving his post without authorization, and he was willing to accept the crime. But the criminal officer never corrupted the law and transferred public grain for profit. Someone deliberately set fire to cover up the truth of Canglin's deficit."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had different expressions, some were surprised, some understood, some panicked, but Yu Jingyun took them all back, and snorted coldly.

Xia Yuan said loudly: "In the Ministry of Households, it has long been an open secret that Shangshu Li has formed a party for selfishness, eradicated dissidents, and joined forces to greed for ink. They have also wooed me many times, and the criminal officials disdain their actions. , has always been alone and clean, so it is regarded as a thorn in their side by them.

At the end of July, Mr. Li, the Minister of the Household, sent a criminal officer to a field to supervise the grain collection, and only returned to Beijing in early September. After returning to Beijing, I returned to my original position, and accidentally discovered that many of the grains in the grain depot had been baled and replaced with rice bran.

The offender felt that this matter was no trivial matter, and it was definitely not something one or two officials could do in private. There must be a premeditated plan and organization. Therefore, it was not publicized, but was secretly checked, and the amount of food that was deficient in more than a dozen warehouses was recorded and handed over to my concubine for safekeeping.

However, the criminal officials never imagined that the rumors leaked, and they actually developed such a poisonous plan, burning down the granary, and letting the lower official take the blame. It's not a pity for a lower official to die, but he just doesn't want to bear such an infamy, and he doesn't even want to let these corrupt officials who endanger their country and country continue to go unpunished. "

After Xia Yuanwai finished his grievance statement in one breath, he felt that he finally let out a sullen breath in his heart, which was extremely happy.

This time it was still Dali Siqing who said, "You said that your account book recorded the depletion of Canglin. How can all the account books retrieved from your mansion be evidence of your corruption? What's your explanation?"

Naturally, Xia Yunhai didn't know the ins and outs of it. The only certainty was that the account book was fake.

"The ledger that was handed over to the lobby to convict the official that day was a fake! It was not written by me. In addition to recording the shortage of the warehouse, I also privately probed the time of some food transfers, and recorded them all in the book. tampered with."

"But your concubine's concubine swears to testify that it is the one you handed over to her."

An Sheng took a step forward: "Mr. Qi, that account book was confiscated from the girl. The girl can testify. Is the account book presented in the lobby a forgery!"

"Forgery?" Dali Siqing instructed the jailer on the side: "Give this material evidence to Miss An Sheng to see."

Very polite speech.

An Sheng took the account book and glanced at it a little. Although it was imitating his father's handwriting, it was not fake, but it was certain that it was indeed a fake.

"This is definitely not a physical evidence that was forcibly taken from the women."

Dali Si Qing said: "You two are father and daughter, so this testimony cannot be established. What's more, there are people who have conclusively exposed and testified against your crime of greed for ink."

"Auntie Rou is the person Li Shangshu arranged for my father, and her testimony is not credible!" An Sheng said loudly.

"What evidence?"

"The people's daughter once saw her entering and leaving the Haizhen Pavilion with the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Mr. Li."

"This is nothing." An official in the hall immediately retorted: "Just as you and I entered and exit the hall together today, it does not mean that there is any collusion between you and me."

An Sheng was speechless.

"I beg your lord to let Concubine Rou come out. I am willing to confront her face to face."

Several people looked at each other, one nodded, and the others immediately agreed.

As soon as the order went down, the yamen immediately went to interrogate Aunt Rou.
