Hello Chang’an

Yao Yi's eyes changed slightly at the officer's words. He nodded, and the officer retreated.

There was an unexpected sound of surprise among the onlookers.

The young boy who had just questioned whether Crown Prince Rong might commit perjury also frowned slightly at this moment.

Prince Rong didn’t come?

Someone in the crowd started talking quietly.

"Are you sick and unconscious?"

"Is this... too much of a coincidence?"

"It would be too much of a coincidence for anyone else. Isn't Prince Kerong's health always in bad shape?"

Chang Suining looked at the officials in the majestic hall who were discussing in low voices because Crown Prince Rong hadn't arrived yet.

yes.

Prince Rong, who was so frightened that he fell ill when he saw her being attacked by a sacred elephant in Dayun Temple, traveled back and forth for many days during the Autumn Festival this time. He also heard about the murder of his eldest grandson, the Seventh Lady, so he fell ill and fell into a coma. It was really very serious. Reasonable.

The key witness had not arrived and the trial was blocked. After discussion by the three departments, the trial could only be temporarily postponed until Prince Rong wakes up.

Yao Yi then ordered that Chang Sui'an be temporarily detained pending further trial.

"Why!"

The young man with the white silk tied around his wrist strode forward and questioned with an angry look: "There is a mountain of irrefutable evidence, why can't he be convicted? Just because he told a lie, the trial must be postponed... Could it be that King Rong Since the prince has not recovered, the case will remain on hold! Who knows if someone will secretly try to exonerate him?"

Yao Yi looked at the young man and said sternly: "Here are the procedures for handling the case. Please calm down, Lord Changsun."

This is the son of Changsun Yan who is sitting in the hall. He is the direct grandson of the current Zuo Prime Minister, Changsun Ji.

Although he is Zhang Sunxuan's nephew, he is only a few years younger than Zhang Sunxuan. The two of them grew up together. They are called sister-in-law, but they are no different from biological sisters.

Yao Yi, who has seen many victims lose their composure due to dissatisfaction with the progress of the case, can understand the other party's excessive words at the moment due to the loss of a loved one.

A thirteen-year-old boy is already one of the most troublesome species in the world, not to mention that the other party has experienced such a sad thing for the first time.

Yao Yi could understand the young man, but the young man didn't buy it. He became even more angry: "I think it's clear that Yao Tingwei is using public service for personal gain and deliberately covering up!"

Who doesn't know that Yao Tingwei has a close relationship with the Chang family now!

The young man's eyes were extremely red. When he saw Chang Sui'an being led out of the lobby by two government officials, he grabbed the inkstone held by the person next to him -

"My inkstone!" The scholar exclaimed.

Chang Sui'an has practiced martial arts all year round and is aware of danger, but two government officials restrained his arms on the left and right, so he could only tilt his head to one side.

In other words, he didn't dare to make any big moves to hide, otherwise the thing coming towards him would definitely hit the officer.

Chang Sui'an let the inkstone hit him on the head. He frowned in pain and took a step back. The right corner of his forehead turned red. The remaining ink in the unwashed inkstone splashed all over his face and body.

"You murderer, give my sister-in-law her life!"

There were exclamations and restlessness everywhere.

There was ink smeared in the corner of his eyes, Chang Sui An's eyes turned red: "I'm not a murderer, I didn't kill anyone!"

"You still haven't confessed your guilt!" Changsun Ji gritted his teeth: "You guys, who come from vulgar martial arts families that cannot be educated, are savage at heart and have no humanity at all!"

"Your father's achievements were ruined on the battlefield because of his bloodthirsty disobedience to military orders. As expected, you are just as reckless and arrogant. You only know how to kill!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Chang Sui'an was aggrieved and angry, and was about to break free from the control of the two officers.

It's okay to accuse him unjustly, but you can't humiliate his father!

His father suffered from an old injury and was still out leading troops against the enemy!

"Ah Ji!" Changsun Yan, who was in the hall, scolded him and finally stood up.

But in the chaos, the young man didn't even hear his father's shouting. Seeing that Chang Sui'an seemed to want to fight him, he immediately raised his fist and rushed forward.

"enough."

Someone tightly grasped the wrist he just raised, and at the same time, a girl's cold voice came into his ears.

The girl looked at Chang Sui'an, and when they looked at each other, Chang Sui'an stopped struggling. Tears could no longer be controlled and poured out of her eyes.

He shook his head at his sister - he did no harm!

Seeing the look of the embarrassed young man whose face was full of ink, Chang Sui Ning felt a dull pain in his heart and nodded lightly to him - of course she knew.

Changsun Ji turned around and recognized Chang Suining: "It's you...you still dare to come!"

"My brother and I are both innocent, so why don't you dare to come?" Chang Suining looked at him: "Not only my brother and I, but also the entire Chang family is innocent and loyal. My father is good at killing, but He is fighting ambitious traitors and killing foreigners who are determined to defeat us. There will never be any innocent souls killed by his sword."

"You speak of a murderous person, and now you are using your old and disabled body to defend yourself against the enemy, and what are you doing? Are you despising the law, indiscriminately hurting others, and tarnishing integrity with hearsay words? "

"You..." Changsun Ji's face flashed red and white. He tried to get rid of Chang Suining's imprisonment, but he couldn't break free.

It wasn't until his two followers came forward that the other party released his wrist.

"Take good care of your husband." Chang Sui Ning was talking to the two followers, but his eyes glanced at the young man beside him: "If you dare to bite anyone again, I will pull his teeth."

She was considering that the other party was the one suffering the most. In this situation, being blinded by grief was understandable, so she didn't care about him.

But she sympathized, not owed.

She and her brother didn't owe the eldest son's family anything, and they shouldn't have to endure each other's emotions without limit.

Changsun Ji was stopped by the servants at home, and the government officials also stepped forward to control the situation. When Chang Sui'an was about to be taken away, he suddenly turned around and shouted hurriedly: "Ning Ning!"

His eyes were full of tears, but he tried his best to hold them back at this moment, and he suppressed all the grievances and sobs in his throat -

"Don't be afraid! The truth will come to light soon!" He tried hard to sound confident enough.

Chang Sui Ning's heart felt astringent.

Silly brother, you have to comfort her at this time.

My brother was young and untrained, and because he grew up in wealth and harmony, he developed an innocent heart that was too pure. Little did he know that there were countless unjust cases in the world, and if he just ignored them, the truth would never come to light.

"He already said he didn't harm anyone, why should he be taken away! Xiao Sui'an can't lie, why are these people so unreasonable! They can only bully others!"

A Dian on the side said anxiously: "Little A Li, let's take Xiao Sui'an home! His face is dirty, let's take him home and wash him!"

As he said this, he was about to step forward and grab someone.

"It's not possible now." Chang Suining held his arm and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will take my brother home."

"I want to see what methods you are going to use to help him deny his guilt!" Changsun Ji stared closely at the girl who spoke.

"The method I want to use is to find out the real culprit who killed the Seventh Lady of Changsun." Chang Suining looked at him: "At that time, I want Mr. Changsun to apologize to my brother in public."

Changsun Ji said word by word: "If the murderer really is someone else, I will not only apologize to him, but I will also prepare another generous gift to kowtow to you to say thank you!"

The words were well-spoken, but the tone was clear that he didn't believe there was a real culprit at all, and it was just an angry talk.

Chang Sui Ning didn't care what he thought, and just said: "Okay, I agree."

"You..." Changsunji felt a knot in her heart and pointed at her nose. She was about to speak again, but was stopped by her father's voice.

Changsun Yan came over.

Today he came here for a hearing, but the case suddenly came to a standstill. Although he didn't rush to say anything, his face looked very ugly.

The younger sister of the same mother was killed, and the sadness and anger in his heart was only much greater than that of his son.

And besides being sad and angry, he was more regretful and unwilling to accept it - he felt sorry and unwilling to accept his sister. At this moment, he looked steadily at the girl who was about the same age as his sister, his eyes cold.

But the girl didn't seem to be afraid of him at all. Instead, she calmly met his gaze and said to him calmly and firmly: "Master Changsun, there is someone else who killed the Seventh Lady Changsun."

"Really?" Chang Sunyan said two words coldly.

Chang Suining: "Yes."

Facing countless pairs of eyes around her, she said: "I have found some clues, and I believe the truth will be revealed soon."

"Then our eldest son's family will be waiting for the truth from Mrs. Chang's mouth." eldest son Yan walked away with a sullen face.

Changsun Ji left behind him.

As Chang Sui'an was taken away and the Changsun family left, the onlookers began to disperse in twos and threes, seeing that there was no more excitement to watch.

"I don't know when Prince Rong's illness will be cured? When will he be able to testify?"

"Did you hear... Madam Chang just said that she had found clues?"

“…”

Everyone was talking and leaving. Cui Lang lowered his voice and asked, "Master, what did you find out? Can you really help clear Brother Sui'an from suspicion?"

Chang Suining shook his head and said, "No, I told them on purpose."

What she found wasn't enough.

"..." Cui Lang sighed: "But the people of the Changsun family wouldn't believe it. Master said that. They probably thought that Master was going to use some means to cover up Brother Sui'an's crime."

Once people are preconceived by certain perceptions, it is easy and difficult to change their minds.

"I know." Chang Suining looked at the onlookers who left: "I told them."

She mentioned "tell them" twice. Cui Lang followed her gaze and realized belatedly: "Master, this is..."

Chang Sui Ning didn't say anything further, but walked towards the person who went to pick up the inkstone.

Qiao Yubai already understood.

Since someone is framing Sui'an, one must worry about the possibility that the frame-up will fail. In today's court hearing, there might be someone behind the scenes watching!

Is Ning Ning's words intended to make the other party feel uneasy and induce him to take action?

This is exactly what Chang Suining thinks.

Although she now has some clues, if she wants to go further, forcing the other party to take action is the fastest way. At this time, she is most afraid that the other party will remain motionless in response to changes, hiding it too well, and not giving her a chance to catch the tail.

After picking up the inkstone that was broken into two pieces, the scholar became worried.

Why are the people in Changsun's family like this? They just take people's things and hit them without mentioning compensation afterwards.

It’s hard for him to come to the door with his stuff and claim for compensation, right?

The man thought about it carefully and felt that doing so would easily interrupt his unopened official career, so he could only sigh.

At this time, a money bag was handed to him.

"If it's helpful, let Tan Juren buy another inkstone."

Tan Li followed the money bag and looked at the young girl who was talking, and said in fear: "Ms. Chang, how can this make..."

"This matter also originated from my Chang family. Please accept it, Mr. Tan Ju."

"This is really inappropriate..." Tan Li sighed: "Ms. Chang's family has suffered such changes. If Tan can't help, how can he accept Mrs. Chang's money again?"

Although he is poor, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.

"Because of the changes in the family, my luck is not good. If you do more good deeds, you may be able to change your fortune. Buying inkstones for talented people can be considered a good deed." Chang Suining handed the money bag forward again and smiled. Liao smiled: "Tan Ju's act of making people perfect is also a good deed."

Is there such a thing?

Tan Li was speechless for a moment.

After a moment, he took it with both hands: "Then Mr. Tan will do good deeds shamelessly...Ahem, he will accept it shamelessly."

Taking money in this way can be regarded as helping others... Helping others is also the Tao.

It's just that the wealth in his hands is heavier than he imagined.

This not only compensates for his inkstone, but also covers the charcoal he will use for heating this winter!

The capital is not only hot in summer, but also very cold in winter.

He was originally worried that he would not be able to take out his hand to write in the winter, but now he can spend this winter well and wait for the coming spring.

And the girl in front of him said she was buying an inkstone for him, so how could she know that she wasn't thinking of helping him, and was just using a nice and respectable excuse to protect his face as a scholar.

Of course his winter would be much easier, but Mrs. Chang...

Tan Li had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally said: "I hope Tan's broken inkstone can break this disaster for Mr. Chang Lang. The remaining ink in the inkstone can only stain its surface temporarily, and the day to wash away the filth is fixed in front of you." ”

Chang Sui Ning nodded: "I would like to borrow Tan's words of good fortune."

Tan Li bowed deeply to her and left.

"Brother Tan, what are you..."

Several scholars waiting not far away had already noticed Tan Li's movements, and they all gathered around him.

Tan Li: "This is the money Mrs. Chang gave me to buy inkstones."

"Ms. Chang is too generous..."

Someone held the inkstone and sighed regretfully: "If I had known this, I should have gotten closer just now!"

At first, when he saw Brother Tan's inkstone being smashed, he subconsciously hugged his own inkstone tightly. Now he just regrets that his layout is too small - he also came here holding the inkstone, how could he miss such an opportunity!

Song Xian on the side frowned when he heard this and reminded: "Is this the time for a joke?"

He subconsciously looked at the girl standing there.

Although he was also a student of the Imperial College, he could enter and leave the Imperial College freely as he was about to take the imperial examination.

He came to Dali Temple because he found a job for a few acquaintances but who were in financial difficulties to write plaques for the new house of a foreign minister. Each of them would be paid one tael of silver. It was just after the completion that it "happened" Pass by here.

Chang Suining also saw him at this time.

Song Xian avoided her gaze: "Let's go."

"Everyone, tell me... is the husband of the Chang family really wronged?" On the way out, a scholar asked in a low voice.

"It seems to me that it must be so."

"You took the money to buy the inkstone, but it doesn't matter what you said..."

"The husband of the Chang family has an upright character. This matter is probably due to grievances." Song Xian looked forward.

Several people looked at Song Xian subconsciously.

Since losing chess, Song Juren's attitude towards matters related to Mrs. Chang seems to have changed a lot.

…

"…Did she really say that?"

In Duke Ying's palace, Chang quickly learned everything that happened in Dali Temple, and his brows were furrowed at this moment.

Thank you all for your monthly votes, good night!
