Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Chen Mingzhong's falcon-like eyes, which were handling the case, had been watching her secretly. Seeing her eyes pause on Jiang Chong, the servant of the Ministry of Rites for a moment, it was not surprising that he already knew it well.

Chen Mingzhong didn't start the formal trial of the case until all the onlookers were seated. Before the trial, in front of everyone, he first interrogated the Jiang family, who had been detained but had not received any harsh treatment. Father and son.

"Jiang Shilang, in front of all civil and military officials today, I will ask you again, who is kneeling in the hall?"

"Although this person is similar to my son, I still say the same thing. I don't know this person." Jiang Chong calmly raised his eyes to look at Chen Mingzhong, and finally his eyes stopped at Zhao who was watching from a high position. Think twice about yourself, "Your Majesty, I have been an official in the court for many years. Although I have not made any great achievements in government, I think I am sincere in doing things and have never exceeded the rules in my life. The accident happened this time only because of the relationship between this thief and my Jiang family." If they are very similar, Mr. Chen will not care and detain Weichen and his son."

Just like what Jiang Chong said, in the eyes of others, although he has never achieved amazing results, he has never made a half-step wrong. Now he is speaking with certainty, and his tone is unintentionally sad. Talking about other people who thought he was unlucky, even Zhao Sansi felt a little sorry when he heard it.

His lips moved, and just as he was about to speak, Cai Juanqing coughed, and Zhao Sansi immediately sat down and said honestly, "I am a man of my word, since Chen Aiqing is in charge of this matter, how can he judge it?" , I don't care about the process, I only care about the result."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Mingzhong immediately answered, "Lord Jiang, don't go to the emperor to complain. If this matter really has nothing to do with Lord Jiang, then the next official should take the blame."

After all, he didn't give Jiang Chong any more room to speak, he spoke again and asked someone to bring an old couple with him.

As soon as the people came up, Jiang Chong panicked.

And the old couple didn't dare to look at him at all, they knelt down towards him as soon as they came up, "Master, there is nothing I can do about it..."

Chen Mingzhong was sober-minded, "This is above the case hall. It's not for your master and servant who have reunited after a long time. The emperor is here today. What is the relationship between these three people in the hall? You have to tell the truth without half-heartedness." The characters are fake."

The old couple trembled and hurriedly kowtowed a few times in the direction of Zhao Sansi. After a while, the old woman looked up at the assassin tremblingly. When there was a small red mole on the center of the brow, old tears came down, "Second Young Master, I haven't seen you for many years, you have grown up so much now, if you weren't like the First Young Master, you would..."

"Where is the crazy woman, this young master knows you?" The assassin raised his eyes, his cold eyes showed a bit of inhuman indifference.

"Second young master, this old slave is Nanny Liu. Back then, your brothers had little appetite. The master invited two nurses, but your brothers only liked to drink from this old slave..." In order to prove that she was not lying, the old woman Turning to look at Jiang Ming again, seeing the same indifferent eyes of Jiang's father and son, she suddenly remembered the situation at the moment, and shut her mouth tightly again.

In this situation, the people present actually knew it well.

Chen Mingzhong patted Xingmu again, and looked straight at the old woman, "The young master you are talking about is the young master of the Jiang family?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment, lowered her head, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes..."

Chen Mingzhong interrupted her sharply, "You are lying, the second young master of the Jiang family is obviously Jiang Ming from the guard's office."

The old woman was taken aback, and quickly retorted: "No, the old woman was also there when my wife gave birth to their brothers, but their brothers are twins, and they are exactly the same when they are born. The old woman has been looking for the difference for a long time, Only then did I tell Madam that the one with the red mole between his eyebrows is the Second Young Master."

Hearing this, Chen Mingzhong winked at the guard below, and the guard standing next to the assassin squeezed the man's chin and looked at him carefully, and then replied to Chen Mingzhong, "My lord, there is indeed a red mole between this man's eyebrows. "

Chen Mingzhong nodded and looked at Jiang Chong, "Master Jiang, what else can you say? You not only fabricated the births of your two sons, but also changed their identities. What is the purpose? Hmm?"

His sentences became stronger and stronger, and when he reached the last sentence, he raised his voice to question, and his voice was even more thunderous.

Jiang Chong moved his lips, still struggling for the last time, "How can my lord just listen to this old woman's one-sided words?"

Chen Mingzhong looked at him, "Master Jiang will not cry until he enters the coffin."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and immediately someone brought in an old man about 40 years old.

When Jiang Chong saw the old man, his face was slumped, and he knelt down as soon as his legs softened.

The onlookers were still confused, Chen Mingzhong was not in a hurry, and proceeded to proceed with the case according to the rules. After inquiring about the identity of the visitor, he asked the main point, "Back then, you sent the second young master of the Jiang family to Huai'an?"

The groom also trembled, he hesitated and said, "Yes."

"Why did you send the second young master of the Jiang family to Huai'an?"

The groom shook his head, "Caomin don't know."

"Did you know that the crime of deceiving the king is to lose your head?"

"The grass people really don't know that Huai'an is a long way away. At first the grass people didn't know that the young man was the second young master of the Jiang family. It was only after getting along for a while that they accidentally learned about it from other people."

Chen Mingzhong just wanted to scare him. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he didn't make things difficult for him any more, so he was pulled over again, and then he turned his attention to Princess Mingshao who was pretending to be calm, "Princess...or should I call you Mrs. Concubine, do you have anything to say about the Jiang family sending their second young master to Huai'an?"

"I don't know anything." Princess Mingshao replied without hesitation, "What do you mean by Mr. Chen's words? I am the princess of Dajin. Even if she married Huai'an, she is still a noble princess of Huai'an. , there are so many people serving under him, even if Master Jiang can't think of sending his own flesh and blood to Huai'an, does this palace have to know..."

Chen Mingzhong listened to her finished speaking with lowered eyes, and sneered in his heart. With this brain, he still wanted to give birth to a bear heart and leopard courage.

Princess Mingshao is now panicking like an ant on a hot pot. Until now, she has realized that although someone has been sending her secret messages, the only people she can rely on and have really contacted are the few courtiers in Huai'an. In this palace, there is only the Jiang family.

However, the Jiang family is obviously unable to protect themselves now.

How could she calm down, seeing that no one spoke up in the hall, she thought that her rebuttal was justified, and hurriedly went to see Zhao Sansi, "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for Ming Shao, Mr. Chen's words are obviously intended to harm me... "

Although Zhao Sansi has little knowledge and is unwilling to look far ahead, she is not stupid. If these things in the classroom are combined with the vague guesses in the past, there is still something she doesn't understand.

Seeing Princess Mingshao who was crying and complaining to her, she almost subconsciously frowned, disgusted, "I advise the emperor to be kind and to be honest."

"What is the meaning of the emperor's words?" Zhao Sansi said, Princess Mingshao's heart sank, she glanced at the silent courtiers, and began to cry wildly, "Mingshao knows that I live in the palace for a long time, eat and wear. The expenses are all provided by the emperor, I must think that I am a married woman and I am bored, if so, the emperor can just say clearly, I will bring Yu'er back to Huai'an today..."

"Princess, please calm down and don't take your anger out on the emperor. As we all know, the emperor is the most kind person, and he has never treated the princess or the young prince harshly." Chen Mingzhong accepted her words coldly, and did not entangle her any more. They invited little Huai'an king in.

Seeing so many people, Little Huai'an King shrunk his whole body, looked terrified, looked around timidly, saw Princess Mingshao, and immediately ran over, "Concubine Mother..."

At this moment, Little Huai'an King is Princess Mingshao's lifeblood. When he saw someone approaching, he didn't care about etiquette, so he stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, comforting him.

Chen Mingzhong didn't invite people here to see the deep love between mother and child, so he immediately knocked on the Xingmu, "Little prince, I invited you here today because I want you to recognize him."

"Master Chen, Yu'er is still so young, why are you so worried..."

Chen Mingzhong was unmoved, and spoke again, "My lord, tell me the truth, tell the emperor and all the ministers present, do you know the man kneeling in the hall?"

After all, Little Huai'an King is still a child, and he is under the protection of him on weekdays, and Princess Mingshao didn't tell him too many things. Now that he was ordered to die, he was panicked and at a loss, but his mother and concubine looked red-eyed. , His young and fragile heart also gave birth to a bravery to protect his mother.

He held Princess Mingshao's hand with his backhand, pursed his lips and wiped away Princess Mingshao's tears, "Concubine Mother is not afraid."

Princess Mingshao burst into tears when she heard the words. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
