The full harem escape game

Chapter 397 The Cricket Case

Concubine An immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After about an hour, he was promoted again.

This time the interrogation process went very smoothly.

Fu Yin no longer struggled with how to exonerate Cheng Laosan.He directly accepted all the existing evidence, convicted Cheng Laosan of several crimes, sentenced him to compensate the Xia family 1 taels of silver as agreed, and sentenced him to death for collaborating with the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Laosan immediately felt paralyzed and stopped speaking harshly. He confessed in court where he got the secret technique of the West Deng Kingdom and who his master was, in order to get a lighter sentence.

Just when everyone thought the case was over, the high-ranking servant of Zhongshu suddenly said leisurely: "There are all witnesses and material evidence. Even if it is my nephew, I will not plead for such a serious crime. However, this crime is punishable by one punishment." , Did the young master Xia in the hall also attack someone?"

Ren Yi had just given Xia Qingyang and An Guifei in the crowd a look of relief, when she heard that the Minister of Zhongshu next to him was stirring up trouble again.

Ren Yi frowned: "My princess remembers that it was not Young Master Xia who ordered someone to attack, but two righteous men who passed by. The road was uneven. And afterward, these two people left. What does it have to do with Young Master Xia?" relation?"

"Thank you, Governor." This time it was Zhongshu's assistant to ignore Ren Yi.

He directly ignored her and asked the governor to summon witnesses.

Soon, the government officials brought four injured people.

These four people are all subordinates of Cheng Laosan, and they seem to be seriously injured, and they are a bit reluctant to testify in court.

In addition, the yamen servants also brought in three passers-by who were in the cricket house at the time.

These three passers-by all testified that Xia Jing knew the two men who beat them up and had spoken to them.

Ren Yi frowned even more tightly.

She didn't expect Zhongshu's servant to bite Xia's family to death.

I thought this case was just a dispute between juniors.As a result, Zhongshu Shilang would rather give up becoming the third child and pour dirty water on Xia Jing.

Is there something inside that she doesn't know about?

Not good.Now I am afraid that these "witnesses" will expose Xia Qingyang and Concubine An.

Just as Ren Yi was thinking about the solution, she heard a young but powerful voice from the hall:

"My lord, Caomin has something to say."

Ren Yi cheered up: "Let him talk."

Fu Yin hesitated for a moment, but could only agree.

Xia Jing then recounted the scene of the incident that day in detail, detailing every sentence and every action he had with Cheng Laosan at that time, to prove that Cheng Laosan was the one who made the first move.

"Since you said that you were there and saw everything, you must have seen Cheng Laosan strangle my throat first." Xia Jing looked at the three "passers-by".

The three "passers-by" were sloppy, either saying that they didn't remember, or that they came after that, and they didn't see who made the first move.

"My lord, since these people admit that they don't remember the specific situation at that time, Cao Min thinks their other testimony is not credible, and I hope your lord will consider it."

Xia Jing turned his head and bowed deeply to Fu Yin.

Fu Yin showed hesitation, and turned to look at Zhongshu Shilang.Zhongshu Shilang's eyes fell on Xia Jing, and there was no expression of joy or anger on his face.

"Although Caomin is still young, he has also learned the principle of 'following the public is like the law, and the upper and lower levels are equal, and the upper and lower levels are equal, and the country is strong. Therefore, the grassroots have confidence in the laws of Dachun, and they also firmly believe that the adults will make fair decisions to set the record straight."

After Xia Jing finished speaking, the onlookers outside whispered to each other.

The Minister of Zhongshu frowned slightly, thinking that such an orderly and progressive speech technique should not be able to be spoken by a child.Obviously someone had anticipated this situation in advance and taught him behind his back.

Who is this guy?
Ren Yi immediately thought of the whisper that Xia Qingyang possessed to Xia Jing yesterday.

It turned out that this was what Xia Qingyang taught Xia Jing.

Ren Yi sighed slightly in her heart, feeling that it was not surprising that Xia Qingyang was smart, but she still didn't know enough.In other words, he underestimated the degree of corruption in the officialdom of the Dachun Kingdom.

How could it be possible to sway the already biased Fu Yin just by giving a generous speech verbally.

It's a pity for this little son of the Xia family. According to Xia Qingyang's teaching, he hit a wall today, and he might lose confidence in many things.

Sure enough, Fu Yin ignored the high hat Xia Jing put on himself.

He simply passed by the three passers-by, turned around and asked the four senior subordinates——

The governor made up his mind that as long as these four men identified Xia Jing, he could arrest Xia Jing in the name of being detained pending trial and complete the task assigned by the prime minister.

As everyone knows, these people have been hypnotized by Xia Qingyang last night, and their personalities have been temporarily corrected.

As soon as the four of them heard about themselves, they rushed to tell the whole story of how Cheng Laosan acted so naughtyly.

Fu Yin was dumbfounded——

Wait, is this different from what you said?Didn't Zhongshu's assistant tell him just now that these people will bite Xia Jing to death, and he just needs to nod his head and take Xia Jing into custody?

Seeing that the four of them were about to reveal all the crimes that Cheng Laosan had committed in the past, Fu Yin hurriedly called a stop, and then looked at Zhongshu Shilang in bewilderment.

I saw that the face of Zhongshu Shilang also turned green.

"I see. Li Shilang, I think this matter is very clear." Ren Yi turned her head and raised her eyebrows, "Didn't they admit it all themselves? Or, you must find out those two righteous men who saw injustice on the road. But now it seems that those two people should not only not be punished, but should also be rewarded greatly. Li Shilang, what do you think?"

A few seconds later, Zhongshu Shilang finally digested his emotions, suppressed all his emotions, and smiled:
"What the eldest princess said is very true. Helping each other with righteousness should be encouraged. Let's not pursue the responsibility of hurting others."

Fu Yin looked at the faces of the two people and saw that Ren Yi had the upper hand at this time, so he had no choice but to say a few nonsense like "fairness and freedom of the heart", and then beat the case and announced the result.

So far, the cricket case can be regarded as a success.
-
For the Xia Mansion, how to delve into the relationship between Cheng Laosan and Xideng Kingdom in the future is out of their concern.

The tense atmosphere for several days finally relaxed completely.

On the one hand, the young master was wronged, and on the other hand, the eldest lady regained her sanity.

Xia Jingzhi waved his big hand, double happiness came, and the Xia family was going to hold a big banquet.

It just so happened that Xia Qingyang had one day left for his home leave and could return to the palace tomorrow, so he stayed and participated together.

As the biggest benefactor who helped Xia Jing turn danger into safety this time, Ren Yi was warmly invited by the Xia family to stay for another day and attend the banquet together.

For the Xia family, they definitely wanted to thank Ren Yi properly.But Ren Yi politely declined.

The reason for this is that the palace banquet is coming soon, and Ren Yi has some affairs to deal with.

On the other hand, her heart is like a mirror, knowing that at the last critical moment, she didn't help much, so she can't be regarded as the benefactor of the Xia family.

So she just went to Xia's house to sit for a while, witnessed the joy of this family, and left after a while.

"Wan Yin, do you have time?"

Ren Yi motioned Xia Qingyang to chat with her in a place where no one was around.
