On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

In fact, the second booklet records only fifteen officials who collaborated with the enemy and accepted bribes.

After all, the former regent had not many spies stationed in northern Xinjiang, so he could not investigate the details of too many officials.

Ning Luo didn't expect such a deceit, and all the officials below him were wiped out.

Sadly.

Sure enough, few officials are clean.

Just as he was preparing to deal with it, Mo Yu had hurriedly brought Magistrate Cui back to resume his duties.

"For your information, Princess, I have escorted the suspect from Yu County and are waiting outside the door."

Ning Luo ordered: "Let them come in, just so that these incompetent officials can see how this princess can quickly solve the case."

"Yes."

After Mo Yu accepted the order, he waved outside, and several guards brought the suspect into the hall.

Two men and one woman.

One of the men looked like a scholar, and the other was a strong country man in shorts and long trousers with strong muscles. The two of them were neatly dressed and did not look like they had been detained.

The woman was only in her early twenties, short in stature, wearing shackles, walking slowly, with disheveled hair, pale face, and extremely weak. She had been detained for at least a year.

"Today, the Princess Regent is hearing the case. You must confess truthfully and not lie."

Magistrate Cui said this to the woman.

As soon as he came in, he saw that the official robes had been taken off from the officials. He knew something was wrong and hoped that the suspect would confess soon so as not to cause him any trouble.

These three people never expected to see the spectacular sight of hundreds of officials being stripped of their official robes.

He was even more afraid of the regent and the princess, and he did not dare to raise his head to look at the richly dressed lady sitting high above.

He knelt down tremblingly, bowed his head, and shouted:

"The common people pay their respects to the regent and the princess. The princess is a thousand years old."

Ning Luo nodded slightly and glanced at the three of them with sharp eyes.

Asked in a deep voice:

"Today, my princess will judge the case impartially. You must truthfully explain the facts of the case without hiding anything. If there is any injustice, I will uphold justice for you."

"Yes."

After the three of them agreed, the scholar first spoke about the case.

"Princess Qi, Li Si, a commoner, was born as a scholar and was a classmate of Zhang San. Last year, we were invited to go to Gongyuan in advance to participate in the provincial examination. Unexpectedly, on the day of departure, Li Si was late in arriving at the appointed place for the appointment, so I went with the coachman Hu San. Zhang San's family asked about the reason, but they didn't expect Liu to say that her husband had already set off. We searched along the way but couldn't find him. Later, Zhang San's mother reported it to the government, and we were implicated in the government for questioning."

"The ordinary people were so depressed because their classmates were murdered that they failed in the exam and regretted it for the rest of their lives."

"I didn't expect to be arrested as a suspect again today and interrogated."

"The common people are wronged. The common people are just scholars, and there is no way they can kill people. Please ask the princess to make the decision for the common people and restore their innocence."

After he finished speaking, the coachman Hu San also said: "The common people are just horsemen, and they make a living by their own efforts. I never wanted to get into such an unfortunate lawsuit. Please ask the princess to find out everything and clear the common people's innocence."

Mrs. Liu sobbed: "A commoner woman's husband was framed to murder her own husband instead of being murdered for money. I asked the princess to make the decision for the commoner woman and find the murderer for my husband."

After listening to the three people's statements, Ning Luo asked Ms. Liu: "How much silver did your husband bring when he went out?"

"There are fifteen taels of silver, all of which were scrapped together by the family to provide for him."

Ning Luo asked again: "When did Li Si and the coachman come to your house to look for you? What did they say?"

"It was three o'clock in the morning. Before my mother-in-law got up, I heard someone banging on the door and shouting, Madam Li, something happened to your husband. Madam Li, hurry up and open the door. I hurried to open the door and saw the groom Hu San standing outside. .

"Then Zhang San got off the carriage and said that my husband had not arrived for the appointment on time and something might have happened. So we looked around together, but later we couldn't find anyone to report to the official..."

Ning Luo patiently listened to the three people's statements and asked Liu:

"How long does it take to walk from your house to the groom's house?"

"It's not far. If we walk faster, it will take half an hour."

Ning Luo asked the coachman Hu San: "Yes or no?"

"Yes." Hu Sanyan replied calmly.

Ning Luo turned to ask another person: "Zhang San, when will you arrive at Ma Ma's house?"

Zhang San replied: "The grassroots went late and arrived at a quarter of the hour. Old Wang, who lives next door to Hu San, can vouch for the grassroots."

Ning Luo said firmly: "That's enough, I know who the murderer is."

Everyone was suddenly shocked.

Then I heard a sharp order: "Come here, tie up the coachman!"

"Yes!" Several guards immediately stepped forward to tie him up.
