Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty

"Some aristocratic families often come here to have fun and drink, and the concubine is also among them. However, because the concubine Fang seems to be in a bad mood in recent months, many aristocratic children are afraid to accompany him. Every time he eats by himself. wine, but several people have witnessed Qi Fei going to the room of Fang Yima. I have carefully asked the time, at least three times." After Di Renjie finished speaking, he looked at Fang Yizhi with some embarrassment, after all, the involved Pei The son-in-law is Fang Yizhi's second brother.

"He has been in a bad mood these days, and he really likes to go out to drink. I also heard from his attendants that he likes to drink Jiannanchun from Xiangyaolou the most. Of course, he actually prefers the name of Xiangyanlou, rather than wine. After drinking a few cups there, he can really enjoy himself wantonly." Fang Yizhi explained frankly.

Li Mingda nodded.

Di Renjie didn't mind seeing Fang Yizhi now, and the uneasiness on his face dissipated, replaced by infinite admiration for Fang Yizhi's impartiality and impartiality.He felt that in the future, he must also be a refined scholar like Fang Yizhi who has a deep belly and upholds righteousness.But before that, he needs to study more and learn to be prudent, and then he can talk about the possibility of stepping closer to a role model.

Di Renjie then secretly clenched his fist to encourage himself.

Li Mingda looked at all directions, and naturally had a panoramic view of Di Renjie's little moves, and couldn't help being amused.

Fang Yi heard a low laugh, and looked sideways at Li Mingda.Yingying autumn water, peach blossoms on the human face, even if you look away, what you saw before will still linger in your heart, and it will not be erased for a long time.

Fang Yi's straight eyes drooped even deeper, and he immediately supported his forehead.

"Brother Yizhi, is there any problem?" Seeing that Fang Yizhi didn't respond to his words, Di Renjie brought up the rest of his mind just now.

"What?" Fang Yi looked at Di Renjie suspiciously.

Li Mingda laughed again, "He seems to be distracted."

"I didn't expect Brother Yi to be distracted." Di Renjie also laughed, feeling as if he had just discovered a novel thing, "Not only can I ask Brother Yi, but also can I ask the house son-in-law? Get rid of the suspicion."

Fang Yizhi: "Since the case requires it, you should call him here, and don't worry about me."

Di Renjie hurriedly cupped his hands in admiration to Fang Yi, and looked at Li Mingda questioningly, waiting for Li Mingda's instructions.

Seeing that Di Renjie was so eager to try, Li Mingda expected that he really wanted to go, so he ordered him to call Fang Yiai.

"Farewell, just let Luo Ge go for a while. You just walked around in the Xiangyao Building, you must be tired, take a rest here first." Fang Yi said straight.

Di Renjie blinked energetically, and was about to shake his head to explain that he wasn't tired when he noticed that Fang Yi was looking directly at him with warning eyes.Di Renjie nodded honestly, and sat obediently drinking goat milk.

Seeing this, Li Mingda asked Fang Yizhi in a low voice why he wanted to dampen Di Renjie's enthusiasm.

"He has only stayed in Chang'an City for a short time, and there is no family behind him to protect him. Now he ran to offend the son-in-law. My second brother has a straightforward and violent temper. If he really hates him, he will definitely not be able to resist Besides, he is living in my house now, causing troubles with my second brother, and it will be difficult to be a man in the mansion later." Fang Yizhi explained.

Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi's side face, and found that he looked deep and cold when he spoke, as if he was not humane, but in fact he was always considerate of others, he could think of what others could not, and was very cautious and considerate.

It's just that every time he thinks about others, he refuses to say everything, which can easily cause misunderstandings.

"You'd better explain it to Di Huaiying later."

"Okay." Fang Yi Zhiwen thanked with a smile.

Li Mingda then told Fang Yizhi what she had just encountered in the palace, and asked him what he guessed about the saint's reaction.

"Your lord clarified in time, and you did the right thing. Since the king of Wei had the news, the sage probably already knew about it. The reason why he didn't say it clearly was probably because there was no real evidence for the matter. He was dubious and decided to wait and see Follow-up. Your lord's timely confession will surely reassure the sage a lot. Therefore, our final investigation results will also be convincing to the sage." Fang Yizhi comforted Li Mingda while explaining.

"That's the best way. This case can't be delayed any longer. I hope it can be resolved quickly." Li Mingda spoke simply, but he was still a little worried about his father's situation.

"Since Ye Yi has been arrested, we are not far from the truth. This matter—" Fang Yi didn't have time to finish his words, and someone reported that Zuo Qingmei had brought Ye Yi, the prince's orderling, here.

Zuo Qingmei went in first.

Li Mingda first asked her how the prince reacted when she arrested Ye Yi.

"After the maidservant arrived, she showed the token to the people in the East Palace to explain the situation. While I went to meet the crown prince in person, I asked someone to arrest Ye Yi. After the crown prince heard the news, he was furious, and he was so angry. Maidservant After the prince explained the process, he said that it was the will of the sage, but the prince remained silent, and even though he was not happy, he let the maid take Ye Yi away." Zuo Qingmei paused, and said to Li Mingda, "But His Highness said that he would come to the Ministry of Punishments in a while, so he would like to hear what Ye Yi committed. If he was really guilty, he would not say much, but if he was not guilty, he said that it was your lord who he has always valued. My younger sister doesn't care about family affection either, so I must clarify this matter first."

After Zuo Qingmei finished speaking, she kowtowed to Li Mingda again and again, apologizing for not being safe enough.

"This has nothing to do with you, you have done a good job. He is the crown prince, how he will react is beyond your control." Li Mingda immediately called Zuo Qingmei to his side, took her hand and thanked her, "Some Let me tell you later, Ye Yi needs to be interrogated quickly."

Zuo Qingmei hurriedly agreed, expressing that she would never dare to delay your judge's trial.

While winking, Li Mingda sent his guards to guard outside the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, and at the same time asked Ye Yi to be brought in.When Ye Yi knelt down, Li Mingda sniffled his nose and smelled a faint pleasant fragrance from Ye Yi's body.But Li Mingda didn't have time to pursue these matters at present, so he immediately interrogated Ye Yi and directly questioned the relationship between Ye Yi and Mutual Help.

Ye Yi's eyeballs moved for a moment, but he didn't recognize him in a muffled voice.

Li Mingda immediately threw the eunuch Xing Kai's testimony to Ye Yi.

Ye Yi picked it up and looked at it for a few times, the flesh on his face tensed up.His hands trembled slightly, and he was flustered, but Ye Yi chose not to speak after hesitating for a moment.

Li Mingda sneered, "Still holding on to hope that the crown prince will come to protect you?"

Ye Yi's eyeballs moved. Although Li Mingda said what was on his mind, he did not change his attitude because of it. He bowed his body and maintained a kneeling posture to Li Mingda, and still chose to remain silent, like a stone sculpture.He seems to have already thought of using this method to deal with it.

Li Mingda got up, dismissed all the idlers in the house, and then wandered around him with his hands behind his back.Li Mingda said in a voice that could only be heard by Ye Yi: "You think that I am a woman who handles the case without courage, don't you? You also think that compared with the prince, I am not a princess enough? But have you ever thought about it, the prince? Is there anyone behind me? Who is behind me? If I dare to offend the prince and call you here, I would only do so if I have someone’s permission. Do you really think the prince can protect you even today?"

Ye Yi pressed his hand on the ground hard, and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

"I heard that you have three sons and one daughter, the oldest is 16 years old, and the youngest is less than one year old." Li Mingda looked at Fang Yizhi, at this time Fang Yizhi's slightly moving lips just stopped.Li Mingda saluted and thanked Fang Yizhi for his reminder.I didn't expect that the ear is easy to use, and there is such an advantage.

Fang Yizhi also smiled back at the princess, being gentle and courteous, like a ray of spring breeze.

There was a faint fragrance of Ming Ting in the air, and with that smile, it inexplicably calmed people's mind.

Li Mingda immediately calmed down his slightly anxious mood, and suddenly he was not so anxious.

The calmer, more confident and abnormally calm she was, the more panicked Ye Yi felt when he was being interrogated.

What Princess Jinyang said just now couldn't be more obvious. The person behind her is a saint, the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty.In this world, who else can be greater than the emperor.Choosing to fight Princess Jinyang is tantamount to fighting His Majesty.

Ye Yi immediately thought of his infant daughter and his three very cute and sensible sons.He can die, but the children are innocent, and there is no need for him to implicate the children.Ye Yi's heart trembled, he could understand the threat in the princess's words, and then looked at the princess like a balloon.

After Li Mingda felt Ye Yi's gaze, he told him with a firm gaze: "You are willing to plead guilty to the law as an honest man, and I can swear as a princess to protect your innocent wife and children from life worries."

Ye Yi's body trembled, and he looked up at Li Mingda, tears welled up in his eyes.He slightly trembled his lower eyelids, and tears flowed down his sallow face.

"Your lord's words are serious?"

At this moment, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the Ministry of Punishment, and then there was Li Chengqian's voice scolding the guards.She knew that Li Chengqian would barge in soon.She was actually a little flustered in her heart, but at this moment she had to keep a calm face so that Ye Yi couldn't see any clues.

"Do you see that I am a person who talks back and forth?" Li Mingda asked Ye Yi coldly, with a hint of pride in his voice.

Fortunately, her reputation among the courtiers is not bad, and she can use this to assure Ye Yi at this moment.In fact, Li Mingda will do his best to do this, as long as Ye Yi's wife and children are innocent.So keeping the innocent alive is what she should have done.

Ye Yi lowered his head, fell silent for a moment, then kowtowed sincerely to Li Mingda, "This subordinate is willing to admit it. This subordinate really has something to do with helping each other—"

"The prince is here!" A loud announcement came from outside.

Ye Yi panicked, shrunk his neck, and almost lay on the ground.It can be seen how much he is afraid of the prince.

Li Chengqian had a serious face, and entered the door aggressively. There were many personal guards behind him. It looked like he was about to rob someone.

Li Chengqian glanced at Ye Yi seriously, then glanced at Li Mingda, "What do you mean?"

Without greeting or exchanging pleasantries, Li Chengqian questioned Li Mingda as soon as he opened his mouth.But Li Mingda, Fang Yizhi and others still saluted Li Chengqian according to the usual practice.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly, he didn't want to talk, and he didn't want to excuse himself.

Everyone also bowed silently.

Only then did Li Chengqian come to his senses, squinting his eyes and glanced sharply at the crowd, then sneered, "They are all capable people, how could they condescend to me in front of me, hurry up and get rid of courtesy!"

Then Li Mingda respectfully invited Li Chengqian to take the seat.

"Don't dare. I heard that this case is presided over by Mr. Li. Now we are in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. There is a regulation of 'enforce the law impartially and not favoritism', so there is no need to talk about family affection. Let's talk to each other. Mr. Li You must be happy, because this is exactly what you expected, isn't it?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Mingda in great annoyance, his eyes were burning with anger, and the prince's unique Ling Ling might frighten all directions.

Li Mingda looked at Li Chengqian, and after quietly listening to Li Chengqian's angry words, he stretched out his hand and asked Li Chengqian to sit on the lower left.Compared with Li Chengqian, her voice is soft, like the voice of a nightingale, which can evoke the softness in the heart.

The point of the needle against the wheat awn must be fierce.But hitting the cotton with a fist, not to mention all the effort in vain, will also make people feel a sense of resentment.

Li Chengqian's eyes turned red. After glaring at Li Mingda, he sat down angrily and finally controlled his anger.Because he is a prince, a brother who is more than ten years older than Li Mingda, how can he be compared with him, he behaves restlessly and not stable enough, for no reason he loses the prestige of a prince, making people laugh for nothing.

Li Mingda's attitude at this time was not conciliatory.Since Li Chengqian called her "Master Li" as soon as he entered the door, and put aside his relationship, Li Mingda didn't discuss any relationship with him right now.

"Your Highness, please take a seat first."

Li Mingda called Li Chengqian "Your Highness" as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Li Chengqian feel a little uncomfortable.Li Chengqian glared at Li Mingda angrily again.

"I think Zuo Shanggong should have explained to His Highness the reason why we arrested Ye Yi. It is reasonable and legal. What objection does Your Highness have here?"

"It's nice to say, but you said that the person who tampered with my East Palace didn't even say hello in advance, but did you ever take me seriously as a prince? Why did your Ministry of Punishment take people away without my permission? ?”

"According to the sage's oral order. Furthermore, after Zuo Shanggong went to the East Palace, he first greeted you before taking him away. We also have evidence to arrest him. According to the confession and testimony of Xing Kai, the eunuch of the Shangshi Bureau, Ye Yi is indeed suspected of participating in 'mutual help'. His Highness also said just now that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs should follow the regulations of 'enforce the law impartially and not favoritism' in handling cases. Now I am asking someone to bring back Ye Yi, who broke the law, to follow this rule .The case he committed is within the scope of our Ministry of Criminal Investigation, and it has been approved by the imperial decree, and he has fulfilled the duty of informing the prince. Please tell Your Highness, what is wrong with this?"

Li Mingda's implication is that they arrested Ye Yi in accordance with the rules and regulations, which is exactly what Li Chengqian called business.And this scope of duties does not include the need for the prince's permission.

"Okay, okay." Li Chengqian smiled angrily, and patted his thigh, "I didn't expect my good sister to be so eloquent, but it taught me a lot as a big brother."

"Didn't your Highness just say that there is only public to public here, and there is no private?" Li Mingda was also annoyed by Li Chengqian, so he didn't give Li Chengqian any face, and directly refuted it.

Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes, and the smile on the corners of his mouth was also suppressed, and his whole body exuded a very angry and murderous air.

"Okay, since as you said, Ye Yi is guilty, then interrogate him carefully. I will also see what crimes he has. As the family order of my East Palace, if he knows the law and breaks the law, I will definitely not forgive him. But if you Just suspect, or someone framed him, so don't think about asking for favors from me, we will deal with business to the end."

When Li Chengqian mentioned 'doubt' and framing, he looked at Ye Yi deliberately.After Ye Yi felt Li Chengqian's gaze, he lowered his head deeply and tightened his whole body.

"He has already pleaded guilty." Li Mingda answered.

The room instantly became quiet, even the sound of breathing was barely heard, no one dared to look at the expression on Li Chengqian's face at this moment.

After a long silence, Li Chengqian finally spoke.

"Since you have pleaded guilty, you will be tried."

Li Mingda said "OK" and let Ye Yi continue to explain.

Ye Yi was still kneeling there, but trembling with fear, he couldn't say a word at all.

Li Mingda looked at Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian was staring at Ye Yi with resentment at this time, complaining that he did not live up to his expectations, confessed so quickly, and betrayed himself.After receiving Li Mingda's probing gaze, Li Chengqian turned to look at her.

"If you don't try the case, what are you looking at me for?"

"Your Highness, please stay away, your majesty has already frightened him. You are here, let alone make him confess, he dare not even speak." Li Mingda said.

Li Chengqian said aggressively, "You mean that I came here to threaten him not to talk too much?"

"As the order of the East Palace, he committed a mistake, caused trouble for the East Palace, and embarrassed the Crown Prince. He was afraid of the Crown Prince being held accountable, so he didn't dare to explain the facts in front of the Crown Prince. The family servant, if uncle is here, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to confess." Li Mingda explained.

Li Mingda didn't want to continue bickering with Li Chengxian like this, she just wanted to clear the case as soon as possible.So if there is a problem that can be avoided if she makes a concession, Li Mingda is willing to make the concession.

After Li Chengqian heard Li Mingda's explanation, he was still dissatisfied. He felt that Li Mingda didn't care about his brother and sister, and aimed at him everywhere.But in the current situation, he is no longer allowed to stay here, and if he cares about it, people will feel that he has a guilty conscience.Moreover, he is a big man, and he is still the prince of the East Palace. He even quarrels with a little sister.

Li Chengqian immediately glanced at the people present, except for Fang Yizhi, there were only a few loyal servants with strict mouths left, and it should not be possible to spread any lies.

Li Chengqian frowned, and told Li Mingda to interrogate well, emphasizing again and again that he didn't come here to protect his shortcomings, but was just dissatisfied with their behavior of taking Ye Yi away without authorization.

Li Ming agreed, but suddenly softened his attitude, and said to Li Chengqian: "Anyone who trusts someone in the family is suddenly taken away by someone, will feel caught off guard and a little angry. I understand His Highness's reaction like this. If you change It was me, Tian Hanshu was taken away, I would go over and question him very angrily, but any kind and righteous person will have this reaction."

Li Mingda's words gave Li Chengqian enough face.

Li Chengqian's attitude eased a lot, he sighed and agreed, and then sent Li Mingda to investigate the case in depth.

"Okay, there's no need to call your Highness any more." After Li Chengqian said that, he got up and wanted to leave.

Li Mingda hurriedly said, "Congratulations to elder brother."

Li Chengqian's leaving footsteps paused for a moment, then he turned his head and glanced at Li Mingda with complicated emotions, and finally he only sighed, and left with his hands behind his back.

As soon as Li Chengqian left, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.Li Mingda heard several voices exhaling heavily at the same time.Only Fang Yizhi's direction was not like this.Li Mingda went to see Fang Yizhi, and found that his brows were tightened and his face was very gloomy and ugly.

"What? It's okay. Even if he holds grudges, he will blame me for this matter. It has nothing to do with you. Don't worry!"

"Your lord thinks I'm worried about myself?" Fang Yi looked at Li Mingda complicatedly and asked her.

"Then you are worried about me?"

"It's not just Fang Shizi. We are all worried about your lord. This time, we are too tit-for-tat with His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, Your Highness is the crown prince, the future emperor. If you hold grudges against your lord this time, what will happen in the days to come?" Tian Han Shu worried.

Zuo Qingmei took a look at Tian Hanshan and held a different opinion, "The brother-sister relationship is profound after all, besides, your lord's handling of things changes quickly, and the concern of the crown prince will not lead to enmity."

In fact, Zuo Qingmei still has some things in her heart, but it is not suitable for her to say them clearly.

If the prince is really innocent in this matter, then the relationship between him and the princess must be repaired.Because of Ye Yi's matter, he must have been kept in the dark. As long as the problem is solved and there is no impact on the East Palace in the end, the prince will definitely not have too much fuss with the princess.But if on the contrary, the prince and Ye Yi have a relationship with each other, and the involvement is deep, then the prince must be suspected of treason.In addition, because of his poor performance in the past few years, he was not considered a saint.If there is another incident like this, I am afraid that my status will be lost.And without the position of crown prince, there is naturally no threat to the princess.

"It's Zuo Shanggong who understands me." Li Mingda smiled slightly, and immediately gave Tian Hanshan a comforting look, indicating that he didn't have to worry so much.

In fact, Li Mingda's thoughts were the same as Zuo Qingmei's analysis.If her eldest brother is really innocent in this matter, then the relationship between their brother and sister is not irreparable.But if there is a problem, it is time to break.In fact, Li Mingda had long expected this day in his heart. After all, his elder brother didn't look innocent at all about the Su family.These days, the sage has been secretly monitoring the East Palace.From his father's emotions, Li Mingda could also feel something.

Li Mingda immediately looked at Fang Yizhi, hoping that what Zuo Qingmei said just now would make him understand that she was fine.But unexpectedly, Fang Yizhi's expression did not relax, but became more tense and heavy, as if a huge boulder was falling under the two faces.

Li Mingda tilted his head slightly, intending to explore further, so he listened to Zuo Qingmei's suggestion to try the case as soon as possible.Since this matter has already provoked the East Palace, it is best to give a result as soon as possible whether it is innocent or not, which is also good for dealing with the relationship between the princess and the prince.The longer the time, the more emotionally it hurts.

Li Mingda nodded, and turned to look at Ye Yi who was kneeling in the hall, "You saw what happened just now, and it's the best way out for you to explain yourself right now."

Ye Yi nodded, and explained with a trembling voice: "The guilty officials started to help each other in the palace six years ago. At that time, the guilty officials were just a small official running errands in the Prince's Mansion. Opportunity, I discovered the benefits of helping each other. The sinner found that sometimes just helping out, it may be a life-changing event for another person. So the sinner had an idea at that time, to put some easily needed The little people who help get together, and everyone helps each other together. If there are many people, there is great strength. Even if the big things can't be solved, some small things can always be solved.

Xing Kai was my subordinate at the beginning, and the court ladies and eunuchs who participated in helping each other in the palace were all grown up by me over the years.Because of this, the guilty minister has been promoted in the East Palace successively over the years, and finally became the prince's family order in charge of the East Palace's family affairs. In just a few short years, I went from a young man who could not look up to the prince all year round. Became a celebrity around the prince.Not only me, many elderly people benefited from mutual help, and their status was improved.It can be seen that helping each other can make things happen!

After a long time, I found that helping each other not only has the benefit of helping each other, but also weaves a news network, which allows me to get some news in time and help the prince..."

"Help the prince?" Li Mingda asked, holding on to the last sentence.

Ye Yi rolled his eyes hesitantly, then slapped his mouth and said: "I blame the minister for not explaining clearly, there is nothing else, the minister is just using each other to help the prince to collect some useful information. The prince is actually not concerned about this matter. I don't know."

After Ye Yi finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed to Li Mingda, apologizing again.Ye Yi begged Li Mingda again and again to let his children go.

Because Ye Yi's head was always hitting the ground back and forth, Li Mingda couldn't see his expression, so it was difficult to judge whether Ye Yi's words were true just from his voice.But this time Ye Yi kowtowed hard enough, just hearing the sound made people feel inexplicably painful, and he could still see the depth of his father's love.

But the matter is not over yet, what Ye Yi explained is not comprehensive.He didn't explain clearly about Shi Hongyu, the gold mine map, and Qi Fei.

"Shi Hongyu?" Ye Yi asked blankly, then frowned, "Is this name...a woman? I've never heard of it."

"What about Qi Fei?" Li Mingda asked again.

Ye Yi admitted: "He is my brother who passed my fate. Both of us were born in poverty. We met when we were rushing for the exam together. With the proof of heaven and earth, we worshiped brothers. But after he failed the exam, he left and didn't know where he was. Where, no more contact. It was not until we met again by chance in Chang'an five years ago that I found out that his father had passed away and left in a hurry. Later, because of the poor life, he had to give up studying and made a living in the wanton building. accountant.

In fact, I am not too clear about the mutual help outside the palace. I just told Qi Fei about this idea.And the name of this gang was also given by him. If he said that I would be honored as the leader of the gang, let him be the deputy leader of the gang.At that time, it was just a drunken remark, and I thought it was his joke for a while.

A year later, he told me that he had developed mutual help to the whole country.I still didn't believe it, thinking he was bragging.It wasn't until later that he showed me some gold that I was startled and realized his ability.But I don’t understand some things he told me. I just think gold is good. Besides, I will be a leader who can give orders to hundreds of people outside the palace. I am naturally happy, so I agree .But he didn't dare to ask for any gold, so he asked him to secretly exchange it with foreigners for money and silk, so that he could spend it conveniently. "

"That is to say, you don't know what Qi Fei has done outside the palace these years. You didn't ask about such a big thing as he got gold?"

Li Mingda told Ye Yi to look up when he was answering, and stop kowtowing.She looked at Ye Yi's expression and stared at his face intently.

"The circulation of gold and silver is prohibited among the people of the Tang Dynasty. As an official, I know this kind of thing best. I also know that if I ask this question clearly, I'm afraid I won't have the guts to spend it, so I will let him find excuses to fool me and pretend to be confused. It’s hard to be confused, as long as I have a good life, and I have more money, I will be generous, and I can make friends with more high-ranking officials, and I can be promoted so quickly, in fact, he is also responsible for the money.” Ye Yi explained.

The truth of these words made Li Mingda a little confused.Li Mingda asked Ye Yi to continue to keep his head up, and re-explained his relationship with Shi Hongyu and others.

Ye Yi agreed, and repeated to Li Mingda again: "The death of the princess of the Japanese country, the map of the gold mine, and what else is Shi Hongyu and Fengyue Tower, the criminals really don't know about it."

Fang Yizhi immediately looked at Li Mingda questioningly.

Li Mingda nodded slightly to Fang Yizhi.

Fang Yi turned around and stared at Ye Yi thoughtfully.

After the Yamen escorted Ye Yi down, Fang Yi asked Li Mingda for instructions, asking him to take Yuchi Baoqi to interrogate Ye Yi again to see if he could find anything else.

Li Mingda nodded. In fact, she was not sure whether her observation with eyes was accurate enough, "This is the best, safer."

"Then my second brother?" Fang Yi asked directly.

"It's best for you to ask, he still respects you." Li Mingda said.

"If he really committed a crime, he would be unscrupulous towards me. It's still the princess who asks. His emotions are on his face, so he can judge." Fang Yizhi suggested.

Li Mingda smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll interrogate him. But you, big brother, are ruthless, so you just sold him out?"

"Compared to your lord, ten of them can be sold." Fang Yi said indifferently.

Li Mingda immediately asked him what he meant.

"Yizhi means that we need to learn more from the princess in terms of handling cases impartially and not showing favoritism."

"I see." Li Mingda stretched his shoulders and said straight to Fang Yi, "They are going to stay up late tonight."

Fang Yizhi was sending someone to call Yuchi Baoqi, when he heard this, he turned around and smiled at Li Mingda.

Fang Yizhi then left, and together with Di Renjie, he checked all the people involved in the case again.

Li Mingda looked at Xiao Jue's back, rubbed his chin, then turned his head to look at Tian Hanshan and Zuo Qingmei, and asked them if they could smell the fragrance of Ye Yi.The two shook their heads, puzzled and asked the princess why.

Li Mingda: "I feel vaguely familiar, but I can't remember when I smelled it."

"There are a lot of spices in the palace, or just like last time, take some of them like a slave and let your lord discern them." Tian Hanshan suggested.

"It's not incense, it's a natural herbal fragrance, not the spices used in the palace." Li Mingda confirmed.

While speaking, there were two announcements in succession, Li Mingda.

Li Mingda took a sip of tea, gathered his mind, and saw Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai coming to the lobby of the Department of Criminal Justice.

As soon as Princess Gao Yang entered the door, she saw Li Mingda sitting at the front seat, with a small body wearing a set of scarlet official robes, it was strange, originally the official robes were monotonous and nothing new.I prefer this color because her snow-white face is as beautiful as a budding peach blossom, and her eyes are particularly aura. The whole person is like a fairy. The attractive gaze makes people not hate it.Princess Gao Yang insisted on this kind of energy, trying to find out the disgusting thoughts in her stomach.

"Nineteenth Sister has been doing a lot lately. When I was sent down by Aye to Shiyi and I was grounded in the mansion, you had a good time. Go to Anzhou for a while, go to Jinzhou for a while, and take a walk in Qujiang Pond when you come back , What kind of water ghost case was solved, and later I heard that you made troubles in the back of the Wei family, and caused the Zhou family to pay for their daughter to go to the Taoist temple. It is better for you to sit and drink tea leisurely in the majestic and majestic hall of the Department of Criminal Justice. Became my female official in the Great Tang Dynasty." Speaking of the word 'female official', Princess Gao Yang couldn't help but sneered, then she walked to Li Mingda's lower left seat and asked her symbolically if she could sit.Before Li Mingda agreed, she sat down.

Li Mingda blinked, didn't say anything, raised his hand to pick up the teacup, and took another sip.

Fang Yiai didn't dare to neglect Li Mingda, just like Princess Gaoyang felt before, the appearance of this Princess Jinyang is hard to hate at first glance.Fang Yiai is also a normal man with full of vigor and vigor. Although he doesn't have any mischievous thoughts about Li Mingda, he still has appreciation for him.Just like seeing beautiful flowers and plants, it is wonderful to look at them and feel happy.But he knows better that this flower is very noble, he can't look at it too much, and he has to respect it.

Fang Yiai saluted Li Mingda obediently.

This bow made Princess Gao Yang almost explode her lungs, she only felt that Fang Yiai was a fool with an empty stomach, and taking him out would only embarrass her.Today's incident happened to be for his own good, to stand up for him, but as a result, he destroyed his own morale as soon as he left the teacher.

"Seventeenth brother-in-law, you are welcome, please sit down." Li Mingda smiled.

Fang Yiai took a look at Li Mingda's bright and bright smile like a spring breeze, and laughed too.Thinking of the tigress in my own home again, and comparing it in my heart, it was really miserable.

"I told you to sit down, but you should sit down!" Princess Gao Yang wished she could crush her words, turning them into stones and throwing them at Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai lowered her head, and then reluctantly sat down beside Princess Gao Yang.

Princess Gao Yang then smiled and said to Li Mingda: "I heard that you have something to ask us? Do you want us to cooperate with you in investigating the case? Even the elder brother was alarmed by you? Nineteenth sister, you are so powerful, I really feel inferior. This After a comparison, I really realized why I am not likable in front of Aye, I really don't have the ability of my sister."

Fang Yiai couldn't listen anymore, she looked at Princess Gao Yang, intending to comfort her, but she was stared back by Princess Gao Yang with a sharp look.

Fang Yiai pursed her lips, blushed, and remained silent.

Princess Gao Yang immediately turned her head and continued to look at Li Mingda with a smile, "Why isn't my sister talking anymore? Don't you usually like to talk?"

Li Mingda raised his eyes, his dark eyes quietly looked at Princess Gaoyang.After a moment of silence, Princess Gao Yang finally stopped talking.Li Mingda turned his eyes to Fang Yiai and asked him if he knew Qi Fei.

Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, "But the accountant in the wanton building, Qi Fei?"

"It was him."

Princess Gaoyang was so angry that Li Mingda silenced her and then ignored her, but at this time Fang Yiai answered Li Mingda cooperatively.Princess Gao Yang was even more annoyed, she turned her head and said fiercely to Fang Yiai: "If you ask me, just tell me! If you have to open your mouth, won't you close it?"

Fang Yiai glanced at Li Mingda, then frowned at Princess Gao Yang, and warned her in a low voice, "Don't go too far."

"Oh, I was too much, why did I go too far. I am the princess, and you are the son-in-law. When you are with me, it is not called marriage, but the Lord Shang. Literally, what a simple truth, I am your master, I said You can only listen to what you say." Princess Gao Yang yelled at Fang Yiai.

Fang Yiai's face turned blue, and he gritted his teeth fiercely.From Li Mingda's perspective, you can also see the exposed veins on his neck and his clenched and trembling fists.

Li Mingda guessed that if he guessed correctly, Princess Gao Yang must have always treated Fang Yiai with this attitude in the Princess Mansion.Seeing her indifferent attitude when she spoke, one knew that her attitude towards Fang Yiai was a habit she had formed long ago.Li Mingda also knew that although Fang Yiai was angry, she was used to forbearing Princess Gao Yang, so he would not do anything excessive right now.

It's just that if this continues, her case cannot be interrogated.

Li Mingda turned his head and looked at the document in charge of recording the testimony of witnesses.

"Did you write down what the two witnesses said just now?"
