The rebirth of the son-in-law

For a while, there was a complete silence in the announcement room, and everyone fell into deep thought.

"Your Majesty, every sentence of this subject is true, if there is a false slander, this subject will suffer a terrible death!" Zhang He lifted his robe and knelt down on the ground.

The emperor's face was cloudy and uncertain, he looked at Song Zhi, and then at Song Qian who was about to fall asleep, his face became even uglier.

"Your Majesty," Song Zhi hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I never killed anyone. If I kill the fifth son, I will be punished with a knife and an axe. There will be no place to die!"

Princess Xianning bowed slightly, and said calmly: "I believe that the son-in-law will never kill anyone. How can the son-in-law have no power to restrain a chicken? Your majesty is very clear!"

The disciples of the Song family all knelt down and said in unison: "I believe that the son-in-law is innocent, please Your Majesty to investigate clearly!"

The sound of intercession was deafening and resounded through the announcement room.Song Qian then slowly opened his eyes, slowly walked out of the queue, saluted the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, he died in Situ's Mansion. I am responsible for negligence. Please punish me."

Everyone was shocked now.Those disciples and old officials who begged for mercy raised their heads in a daze, at a loss.Song Qian's acknowledgment of negligence was an indirect acknowledgment of Zhang He's accusation of murder by the son-in-law. Once he admitted, he would be held accountable regardless of whether the son-in-law killed or not.

Song Zhi's face turned pale, and he looked at Princess Xianning helplessly.Not to mention those courtiers, even Princess Xianning didn't expect Song Qian to betray Song Zhi so simply.Her expression gradually became solemn, she pursed her lips and stared at Song Qian sharply.

Song Qian turned a blind eye and maintained a posture of bowing and saluting.Although General Liang Fu didn't understand why Song Qian did this, he was naturally happy to see it succeed if he was able to make trouble. He came out of the line and bowed to salute, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Song Situ committed the crime of negligence, and Song's son-in-law committed murder. Suspicion, if you don’t mind, let’s ask the two of you to think about your mistakes behind closed doors, and it’s not too late to make a decision after the investigation of the truth of the matter is clear!"

"Come here." The emperor turned his head, walked up to Danbi slowly, sat back in his seat, and said in a deep voice, "Zongzheng is trying this case with Tingwei and Zhijinwu, we must find out the truth and give me an explanation. "

"only!"

"only!"

Zongzheng and Tingwei stepped forward and bowed down in the court.

"However," the emperor stared at Zhang He who was prostrating on the ground with sharp eyes, and said slowly, "According to the law, the minister who sues the emperor will receive ten sticks regardless of whether the emperor is convicted or not. Pull Zhang He down, Hit ten more sticks!"

"Your Majesty, I ask you to receive twenty sticks." Zhang He showed no fear on his face, prostrating with both hands. In the case of defrauding the teacher, you should receive ten sticks. If you are a public servant, you have to do it. If you are a private servant, you are unworthy. Please punish the two crimes together as a punishment!"

As soon as his pleading words came out, the courtiers who had glared at him just now put away their anger and showed admiration on their faces.When people in the world place the most emphasis on fame, celebrities often do things that offend the powerful. Many celebrities just refuse to go after being hired by the Sangong's government. They have repeatedly refused to be recruited by the Sangong.Although Zhang He offended his mentor, but because of official business, he killed his relatives righteously, and then punished him afterwards, with a sincere attitude. Such a person has noble morals and can be called a celebrity.

"Yes." The emperor was also moved by it, and was no longer so angry.

So Zhang He bowed respectfully to the emperor, took off the crown, stood up and calmly followed Lang Wei out of the palace to be tortured.Princess Xianning watched his back disappear outside the door, and then sighed. After the emperor announced the dismissal of the court, she pulled the thoughtful Song Zhi out of the palace and went back to the mansion.

After Zhang He was tortured, he didn't have the strength to walk anymore, so Ting Wei helped him walk slowly.After walking for a while, he broke out in a mouthful of cold sweat, and he was considered a tough guy if he didn't pass out.Ting Wei was the first to discover the general who was waiting for them in the distance, and the general ordered the two Lang guards around him to help Zhang He.

"Tingwei Zuojian Zhang He has seen the general." Zhang He gasped weakly and said in a low voice.

Liang Fu waved his hand to signal him not to be polite, and said with a slight smile, "Uncle Que, you've done a good job. After today, Zhang Shuque's name will surely be resounding all over the world. What a 'strength left supervisor', righteousness kills relatives, upright, Another Marquis of Wuxiang!"

Zhang He said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that if you have a life, you will be famous."

"You don't have to worry." Liang Fu said with a chuckle, "Neither Song Situ nor the son-in-law would dare to do anything to you. You just need to do things well and be loyal to His Majesty. However, in the future, don't talk about the past of the son-in-law in public. Now, if you don't care about the face of the princess, you have to take care of the face of your majesty."

"I dare not." Zhang He nodded.

As soon as Princess Xianning and Song Zhi returned to the princess mansion, they immediately called Yu Du, the princess' family order, and Dou Tu, the recorder, to talk about what happened in the early morning court. In such a dangerous situation, he gained a good reputation. It's a pity that this person is an enemy of the son-in-law, what a pity."

Song Zhi said with a bitter face: "He is so arrogant and powerful, and he brought a few hard-to-discernible evidences, but he hurt the minister. Now he retreats in order to advance, and he thinks he will be punished. This is in the eyes of His Majesty. Even if Your Majesty will not believe him, but there is no guarantee that His Majesty will not suspect that I have a habit of cutting off sleeves in the future."

Speaking of this, Princess Xianning couldn't help laughing with her originally serious expression, and teased: "Isn't the son-in-law interested in Zhang Shuque? I see that you have a good impression of him, and I will get closer to him in the future. Your Majesty said Maybe it’s true that you broke your sleeve.”

How could Song Zhi be in the mood to listen to her tease, he waved his hand, and limp on the desk, feeling depressed.

"Princess, son-in-law, don't worry. I believe that the murderer must not be Song Gongkuan." Yu Du cupped his hands and analyzed, "First, if you look at the evidence, it is indeed very bad for the son-in-law. But actually think about it, Song Gongkuan is impossible. The one who killed the fifth son. There are so many evidences to prove that Song Gongkuan killed him, but the problem is very far-fetched. Second, if Song Gongkuan really killed him, it must be because of Song Gongkuan’s selfless feelings towards the fifth son. But according to the son-in-law As mentioned, Song Mengxue once mentioned that Song Gongkuan did not want to marry the princess, and he had to persuade Song Mengxue with a sad face for a few days. If he didn't have another sweetheart, how could he refuse the princess to marry him?"

What Yu Du said made Song Zhi jump up suddenly, and clapped his hands: "I know! There are only three people who are most suspected, one is my father, one is my brother, and the other is the eldest brother Song Mengxue! Isn't he missing? As long as we find him, we will definitely know who the murderer is!"

"If Song Mengxue is not dead, then he must be in Liangxiang Hou's Mansion." Dou Tu smacked his lips, licked his lips, and said excitedly, "Princess, ask Your Majesty to search for Song Mengxue throughout the city, and then I will bring some rangers If you enter Liangxianghou's mansion, you will definitely find Song Mengxue's trace!"

Princess Xianning thought for a while, nodded, and said to Dou Tu: "Be careful, after you find someone, bring him out secretly, and don't let the Marquis of Liangxiang know that you did it."

Dou Tu patted his chest and assured him: "Don't worry, let me catch that boy, and I will definitely bring them all to the princess. If one person finds out, I will kill one person, and if ten people find out, I will kill them all." Already!" After speaking, his eyes turned cold, and then he returned to his playful smile.

Song Zhi gasped when he heard that.When Dou Tu led the order to go out, Yu Du said: "I have found out, it was when I went to the Tingwei Mansion to copy the copy that day, Zhang He went back and found that the minister had tampered with. Later, the imperial doctor asked Zhang He to see the corpse. After He got the jade pendant, he started to make arrangements. The minister did not expect that a small court lieutenant, Zuo Jian, would dare to commit such a crime. He set up a blindfold, so that the minister did not get the news and knew his actions in advance. The minister neglected his duty and asked the princess to come down. !"

"This palace underestimated him too." Princess Xianning shook her head, "It wasn't your fault in the old year. Well, just pay more attention in the future, go get busy."

After Yu Du resigned, Bai Liu hurried in, with a look of anxiety faintly showing between his brows.He saluted and said: "Your Majesty has an order that the son-in-law should contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors and not go out. People from Guang Luxun came outside and surrounded him. I am afraid they will put the son-in-law under house arrest."

"Except for the Princess Mansion?" Princess Xianning asked with a headache.

"Liangxiang Hou's Mansion was surrounded by Zhi Jinwu and people, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit."

As he said that, a group of people from outside came in, and the leader was Fan Hou, holding the imperial decree.Bai Liu had already prepared the incense table, and Princess Xianning took Song Zhi to burn the incense to receive the order.

"Decree: Princess Xianning's son-in-law is the governor of Yingchuan, Song Fang. Without an edict, he is not allowed to go out of Beijing. He is removed from the post of prefect of Yingchuan. He is temporarily ordered to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. Princess Xianning should teach more, and the confinement will be lifted after the grievances are cleared."

"The prince's son-in-law is released, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Princess Xianning, I am in harmony with you, thank you for your kindness."

Song Zhi got up, received the imperial decree, smiled and asked someone to hand over the thank you gold, approached Fan Hou and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty really believes Zhang He's nonsense?"

Fan Hou put the money into his sleeves calmly, with a smile on his face, and whispered: "How can it be. Your Majesty has a lot of trust in the princess and the son-in-law. Otherwise, it would not be the old slave who came to pass the decree, but the court lieutenant." passed on."

The money sent last night was still useful, Song Zhi felt relieved, and asked Bai Liu to send Fan Hou out with a smile.After he left, Song Zhi's face darkened, he spread his hands and said speechlessly, "I haven't taken the position of prefect of Yingchuan yet, Zhang He kicked me down all at once, two thousand stones! Even two thousand stones can't protect you if you get rid of an official, which shows how difficult the world is." She sighed a long time.

The corners of Princess Xianning's lips were slightly curved, and she agreed: "Now you finally know that no matter how high you sit, you may be bullied. This matter is also a lesson for you. Who told you to make friends carelessly. Zhang He is too scheming. Shen, compared with him, it's really..." She shook her head with a melancholy expression.

"It seems that the princess appreciates him even more." Song Zhi curled his lips, and said sourly, "Can Nathan compare with him? He is a teacher of my father. My father's ability to plan for an official has been learned seven times." Eight points, I don't even have half a point."

Princess Xianning glanced at her, pinched her face with a sneer and said, "So, you have to work hard and find a way to defeat him. He has advantages that you don't have, but you are not bad. You should think about how to make him A fall, it’s better to make him unable to get up.” Although she was smiling, her tone was cold, as if she really took Zhang He into her eyes.

The author has something to say: I have always felt that if I were Song Zhi and went to a strange place, not going abroad, nor in a peaceful age, even if I had a gifted idea, I would not be able to survive the crisis accomplish.A person who has lived in the peaceful era for 20 years suddenly came to a dangerous place where one step made a mistake and everything was lost. What he understood changed from words and pictures to reality. Killing people and ransacking their homes are not empty words, and they will be killed anytime, anywhere , and my identity is restricted, I feel that all I can do is to be afraid and suppress the fear.As for going long-sleeved and good at dancing, that's too difficult for me.I'm an ordinary person, I'm not a cheater, and I won't become an awesome and unscrupulous person just because I came to a place by chance.Only newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If you understand and have seen the horror of killing people and the confrontation of conspiracy and tricks, you will naturally be more in awe.

Song Zhi, when I set her up, I just tried to figure out my own psychology. If it were me, would I have the courage to die?Do you think you are "helping others" like a little swallow, or you are an ordinary person.I am going through a series of dangers, and there is a person who has the power to put me in a crisis. I have a good feeling for him, and I will choose not to harbor ill feelings towards this person.Because being malicious doesn't make my situation better, it might make it worse.

Song Zhi's current behavior can be described in four words as "being alone", that is, he wants to live a good life.She is not a conspirator who is used to this kind of sword, nor is she a warrior who charges into battle. She lives in the 21st century, with an orthodox family (both parents are professors), and an introverted personality (the archeology major is boring and tedious, which requires patience). She is almost living in a Smooth safe space for people.Involved in the vortex, people don't think about how to swim, but fear and struggle. Is this normal?

Of course, this is my personal understanding.She will grow up in the future, don't treat her as a fool, she is not stupid, she is just naive, she doesn't know nothing, but she hasn't found a reasonable way yet.

You want to see the kind of person who kills all directions and turns into Zhuge Liang at once, then it is impossible for me.Because I am not such a person, my novels will not reach the sky in one step.In the end, Song Zhi is still harboring illusions, as long as the illusions disappear, she will evolve.Please look forward to it!
