lustful

The little prince's words were like stabbing a hole in Xiao Bai's heart with a knife.

He felt the pain of his flesh and blood being torn apart.

But he couldn't do anything.

He touched the little prince's head lightly, and said softly: "Xiaobai is the name of a person, and that person looks very similar to you. You have to listen carefully to Mr., he lives with you in the East Palace, how much do you want?" Learn from him."

The little prince nodded.

He has always been an obedient and lovely child.

On the second day of February, Tong Ping'an confessed.

He was completely broken.

Because the spring is coming soon, Dali Temple can't find any evidence of his crime after searching, so it can only keep him in custody.

As a suspect, he can no longer take the imperial examination.

If he cannot take the imperial examination, he will lose the opportunity to develop.

"You and your sister have already cut off contact. I think your neighbors and friends don't mind very much. Why did you kill him!" Huo Yunshan said sadly.

"Why?" Tong Ping'an looked at him angrily, "General, have you ever felt like this, no matter how hard you try, you can't get rid of someone, you try to be a good person, but anyone can take yours Let me tell you about the past, I have cut off contact with her a long time ago, but she is still my sister, and friends who have contact with me will still know that I have a sister who is a prostitute. If I win, how will I face me colleagues."

"If you cut off contact with her, how would others find out? You won't have her name on your household registration either." Xiao Bai said flatly.

The cell in Dali Temple is really lively today.

Tong Ping'an was like crazy, he kept calling for grievances, and his relatives and friends on weekdays also spoke for him, and neighbors also said that it was not easy for him. His teacher, as a well-known Confucian in the school, also led The students wrote letters to the emperor.

Xiaobai had no choice but to come and interrogate Tong Pingan himself.

Tong Ruyi's neighbor, Granny Li, was also brought up.

In the public hall of Dali Temple, the examinees who were observing were crowded and crowded because of Tong Ping'an's grievances.

"My lord, this is Teacher Tong Ping'an and his classmates who jointly signed the form, asking His Majesty to give you a lighter sentence."

Huo Yunshan frowned as he looked at the Wanmin book handed over, he threw the book down casually: "You are so brave, Wanmin book, are there 1 people's names in it?"

The old gentleman who joined the list was an official in Beijing, and he stepped forward and replied: "Back to the general, these are all scholars and candidates in Beijing. Although Tong Ping'an killed people, he can be forgiven. His sister Being a prostitute and disturbing his life, he can be given a light sentence for killing someone for some reason."

Huo Yunshan laughed back angrily: "The old man must be very familiar with him?"

"Don't dare, I just taught him to read, and I know that he is a good writer, has a good character, and is a gentleman. I don't have any personal relationship with him."

Xiao Bai said angrily: "It's nonsense, since you have no personal relationship with him, how do you know that he is of good character and a gentleman?"

He said sternly: "The ancients said that everyone who likes them must check them out. The disciple taught by the master has no personal relationship. How can he know his character? You have bought things with him, ate dinner, and lived together?"

He pointed to the Wanmin letter and said, "Everyone says they believe in his character. Do all of these 1 people recognize him? Since they don't recognize him, how dare they come here and ask me for a lighter sentence. In ancient times, killing relatives is a serious crime!"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Ruyi has already cut off contact with him, so she is no longer a relative!" Dali Siqing said seriously.

Xiaobai sneered: "Break contact?"

He looked at Tong Ping'an: "Let me ask you, your sister has lived with you in peace for so many years, why did you suddenly kill someone?"

Tong Pingan said painfully: "My daughter wants to book someone else. She came to my house at night and brought a pair of bracelets. My wife refused to let her in. The two of them argued at the door and were seen by the neighbors."

He excitedly said: "We have not been in contact for a long time, and we dare not ask for the bracelet she gave me. Why bother? My wife heard the neighbors talking about it, and my daughter was bullied by her playmates. I thought that the night would be full of dreams, and there would be endless troubles, so I ordered a killer. Yes. I have nothing to do with anyone else."

Huo Yunshan said: "You heard the neighbor talking, which neighbor is it?"

"I... I can't remember clearly. The neighborhood neighbor saw her coming to my house again, and felt uneasy." He smiled wryly, "What can I do?"

Candidates have complained loudly, it is really unlucky to encounter such an unlucky thing.

Who doesn't have a time of embarrassment, and who hopes that when he is about to get rich, a poor relative will hold him back.

And this relative is not poor, she is a prostitute!

Poor scholars can understand this best.

Huo Yunshan said again: "You can't remember the neighbors who gossip, but you must remember which child bullied your daughter."

Saying that, he clapped his hands.

The guards of Dali Temple brought over a dozen or twenty children.

Huo Yunshan said loudly: "You just show me which child is bullying your daughter."

As he spoke, he asked someone to bring his little daughter up again.

The girl is about four years old.

Shrunk in fear.

The group of children looked at her blankly.

Huo Yunshan said indifferently: "Your child is only over four years old. Children of this age follow their mothers, and at most play with the neighbor's children. Look, who has bullied her because of your sister."

"No, we didn't bully her, we have been playing together." An older child said loudly, "She is so powerful, how dare we marry her!"

Huo Yunshan sneered: "How dare you lie to me, I have asked these children a long time ago, they don't know about your sister at all, your neighbors are very kind, even if they see your sister coming, they only feel sorry for you , and no one would gossip much, let alone tell the children!"

The scholars looked at the hall in surprise.

Huo Yunshan took out a document from his hand: "This is the household registration of Pingkangfang. Your sister came to you frequently at the end of last year, not because she wanted to marry you, but because she was negotiating with you. How can I not drag you down. Although you Cut off contact, but she is a prostitute after all, and her status is not low. After you pass the exam, as long as the officials of the Ministry of Rites check, you can still find this sister of yours. His name was put in the cheap register."

"I……"

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

Huo Yunshan sneered again: "It's just that at the end of the year, the Ministry of Household Inspection was strict, and that little official didn't dare to change it, so she is still a good citizen."

He lightly patted the gavel: "Bring willow meaning!"

Little scholar Liu Yi stumbled and was pushed up.

Huo Yunshan pointed to Liu Yi and said, "You once helped Tong Ruyi sell paintings, do you know how much money she makes a year selling paintings?"

Liu Yi said sincerely: "She uses three names to paint, and she works hard every day to paint. She has painted vegetation, landscapes, and beauties. She can get five or six hundred silver a year."

Huo Yunshan looked at Tong Ping'an: "You come and tell this general where all the money went!"
