As he spoke, he solemnly knelt down and kowtowed to the two of them.

"Get up quickly."

Zhou Jinyan hurried over to help her up, and said solemnly: "Since you say so, I, Zhou Jinyan, promise that if you don't give you justice in this matter and punish the murderer severely, I will not be a human being!"

Yang Xiaoqin burst into tears, and she howled, "Zhou Consort, you are a good person. I know that I have caused you trouble, but I am not willing to let him confess. He threatened me last night and didn't treat me like a human being at all." Look, I was blocked, thinking that even if I die, I have to announce this matter."

"Don't cry," Zhou Jinyan said softly, "This is my fault. I didn't guarantee your safety. Don't worry, I will give you justice in this matter."

Chapter 477

"From now on, you will live in Qujiang Pond. If you have any difficulties, I will solve them for you." Haosheng persuaded Yang Xiaoqin to go down to rest, and Zhou Jinyan sat on a chair, thinking about how to deal with it afterwards.

Of course he is not a master of Qingtian, but what he promised must be done.

It's not his style to turn a blind eye to something like this happening right in front of his eyes.His conscience will also be restless all his life.

Li Mengjiang said with a wry smile: "It seems that this matter has to be pursued anyway."

"Well, let's see when Li Ke comes over, and then we will take her to report to the police."

Li Ke didn't come until the next day, but the story of Li Zhen raping the contestants has already spread throughout Chang'an.

To my surprise, it was Datang First Daily who spread the news.

Looking at the daily newspaper, Zhou Jinyan was stunned: "Do these companies have a grudge against Li Zhen? As an official media, they dare to report like this?"

He thought that Datang First News would choose to turn a blind eye.

"Anyway, I can't hide it, so I'm afraid I'll just report." Li Mengjiang said casually.

"When will our newspaper announce the news?" Li Mengjiang asked again: "This happened here. If we don't make the news public, is it not justified?"

"Take her to report to the officials today, and when she comes back, ask someone to prepare the news. We don't report these falsehoods. If we want to report, we will report our position."

Li Mengjiang nodded, at this time Yin He came in and said, "My son-in-law, princess, King Wu is here."

In the living room, Li Ke sat down. Seeing that the two were not in a hurry to ask himself, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Why, that woman disagrees?"

Zhou Jin said: "Now that the news has spread all over Chang'an, can Li Zhen still agree to go private?"

"It is said that you are smart, it is true." Li Ke sighed, and said: "Not only did he disagree, but he also insisted that it was not me. Since this is the case, there is nothing to discuss about this matter, report it to the official."

The three reached a front and were about to set off to report to the officials.

Unexpectedly, Li Danyue came, and she was alone.

"Sister."

Several people were busy saluting what should be saluted, and pouring tea.

After Li Danyue sat down, she said, "I've heard about Li Zhen's matter, so what do you plan to do?"

"Investigate thoroughly." Zhou Jinyan did not hesitate at all.

"Are you sure it was Li Zhen who did it?" Li Danyue asked again, his tone did not reveal any thoughts.

"I'm not sure, so I have to investigate thoroughly."

"What if he did it?" Li Danyue smiled slightly, "What should you do?"

"What about Tang Law, so what!" Zhou Jinyan said seriously.

"This kind of vicious incident, the highest penalty is death." Li Danyue smiled.

"Then leave it to His Majesty, I just need to do what I can."

Zhou Jinyan is naturally not a fool, Li Zhen will definitely not be sentenced to death in this case, let alone a prince, even a big family like King Cui, it is impossible for such a thing to be punished by death.

What he did was to punish the bad guys as hard as possible, and not let the bad guys go unpunished.As if nothing happened, even if you feel disgusted, you will feel disgusted.

I believe Yang Xiaoqin thinks the same way.

"I can't help you with this matter," Li Danyue said: "I will try my best to help you clear up the relationship, so that people don't embarrass you. You can do it as much as you can. No matter how you say it, there is also a good singing voice from the Tang Dynasty in Qujiangchi. I have one."

Zhou Jinyan was overjoyed, with Li Danyue's support, this matter would be much easier to handle.

But having said that, Li Zhen is Li Danyue's nephew after all, can Li Danyue really be like what she said?Zhou Jinyan was a little skeptical.

The official finally reported it, but because the suspect was Li Zhen, this matter had to be reported for handling, not an ordinary small case.

The process is a bit cumbersome.

The government wants to keep Yang Xiaoqin to handle the case, but Zhou Jinyan will naturally not do it. If Yang Xiaoqin dies in prison, he will be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Besides, Yang Xiaoqin didn't break the law, so she doesn't need to go to jail.

The place where this matter was handled was quite far from Quchifang, so Zhou Jinyan, Li Ke and Yang Xiaoqin stayed at the inn.

Li Mengjiang went back, it was somewhat inconvenient for her as a woman.

What surprised Zhou Jinyan was that Li Ke was willing to help all the time.

......

Just when Chang'an was talking about Tang Haosong and Li Zhen's case.

The news quietly reached Li Shimin's ears.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about this?" Empress Changsun said, "Will someone wantonly slander you?"

It's no wonder that Empress Changsun thought so. Although Li Zhen is lustful, there are many women in the mansion who don't need to go hunting at all.

So after she heard the news, she first felt that someone wanted to rely on her son and ask for compensation.

Li Shimin's face was pale, and while revising the memorial, he said casually: "Send someone to find that bastard. Whether he did it or not, it has spread throughout Chang'an. It's a disgrace, and it has ruined my royal reputation."

Empress Chang'an sent someone to call, but said in her mouth: "No matter what it is, wait for him to come and talk about it first. If he denies it, and someone denies it, he must teach the woman who framed it hard."

"What if he did it?"

"That must be severely punished!"

Empress Changsun said solemnly: "This matter can be big or small, but the Tang Dynasty's good singing voice, if my royal family holds it, and the rules are clearly stated, he would dare to mess around. I really don't know what it is. This matter must not be left like this never mind."

Li Shimin said softly: "Guantao also sent someone to say that the impact of this matter is very bad and should be punished fairly. It is said that the woman is sincere and the third child of our family sent someone to report the case in person. It is difficult to calm down. .”

"The third child is going to report the case in person?" Empress Changsun asked puzzledly, "He's doing well, what are you messing around with?"

"He has to ask himself that."

Empress Changsun had no choice but to stop asking.

Li Zhen seemed to be in the palace, and arrived at the palace not long after.

"My son greets his father, and his mother."

Li Zhen bowed deeply, with a respectful attitude.

"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so don't come here." Li Shimin said lightly: "You know the things outside, explain."

Li Zhen still wanted to pretend to be confused, "What are you explaining?"

Empress Changsun said angrily: "What did you say? At this time, you are pretending to be crazy and foolish for us. Could it be that you did that?"

Li Zhen couldn't pretend anymore, and was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Mother, are you saying that there are rumors that you raped a woman? I really didn't do it, although I really have some... Merry, but there are so many women in the house, why should I find someone else to rape|violate others?"

"So it's really not you?"

"It's definitely not me. I've been so worried these days. I've been investigating who wants to frame me. I still want to wait for my parents to make the decision for me. Then I must punish the murderer severely."

When Li Zhen spoke, his face was upright, and he didn't seem to be lying at all. Empress Changsun couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, look?"

Chapter 478 Imperial Commissioner

Li Shimin said indifferently: "What's so interesting, there is no way to investigate this matter anyway, if you don't relax, you can't find out anyway, whether this kid did it or not, you can't say."

"Your Majesty, should we give him some room to believe?" Empress Changsun tried her best to use a calm tone, "Although Zhen'er is sometimes confused, she is also our son. If he is framed in this matter, his reputation will be like this." We can only rely on us to help him, if we don't help him, who can help him?"

Li Zhen was overjoyed, kowtowed hurriedly, her face was full of sadness, making herself miserable.

Li Shimin also hesitated for a moment. Although Li Zhen is a jerk, he is his son after all.

"So, you really didn't rape|violate others?"

"No." Li Zhen denied again.

"I can warn you," although it is his son, but Li Shimin is well aware of his son's urinating nature. If Li Zhen did this, it is not impossible. "If it was really you who did it, it is nothing to plead guilty now. But when it is found out that you did it, don't blame your parents for not giving you a chance."

Empress Changsun nodded, "Did you hear what your father said?"

Li Zhendao: "My son understands, but it's really not my fault. I hope my father and mother will see clearly."

Empress Changsun smiled, "Get up. Since it's not you, I will give you an account of this matter sooner or later, and return your innocence."

"Thank you mother, thank you father."

"Okay, you go down."

He didn't have a good impression of Li Zhen and Li Shimin, so he waved impatiently to let him go down.

After Li Zhen left, Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, did you hear that? The matter was not caused by Zhen'er, so I'll say that no matter how confused he is, there is absolutely no need for this kind of matter."

Li Shimin shook his head, fetched the imperial decree, and thought about it: "I heard that both Jinyan and Li Ke are investigating this matter, who do you think is better to hand this matter over to for review?"

Empress Changsun said: "Leave it to the two of them to review what to do?"

Li Shimin smiled wryly and said: "The Guanyin servant girl is confused. If it is handed over to the government, the truth of this matter will be found out. If it is really what this bastard did, there is no good excuse for turning around. Leave it to the two of them, now it is justified, and when the time comes It's easy to talk too."

Empress Changsun is not a fool after all, and she also understood her husband's good intentions after hearing the words.

"Let's leave it to Jinyan." Empress Changsun said, "If I leave it to Li Ke, I'm afraid that others will talk about our own affairs, and my family will investigate."

Li Shimin didn't say much, and wrote it in the imperial decree.

......

After Zhou Jinyan received the news, he was stupefied when he received the imperial decree.

"Leave all the power to me to investigate?" He said in a daze, "I don't have any official position?"

Liu Neishi smiled and said: "Why should Zhou Consort be modest, you are not an official position, although it is only a false position, but it is still a fifth rank, right?"

Zhou Jinyan was sweating profusely, and for a long time, he forgot about his false job.

Although there is no right, the salary itself does not lose a cent.

Thank you for accepting the order now.

Saying goodbye to Liu Neishi, Li Ke happened to come out after entering the house.

"This is?"

"Imperial decree," Zhou Jinyan shook his head, "Your Majesty ordered me to be the presiding judge of this matter, now some people will see."

Li Ke frowned and didn't speak.

With the authority in charge, Zhou Jinyan went to the shop next door first, and asked the workers in the shop to send a carrier pigeon back to find the parrot.

Then he took Li Ke and several guards to Li Zhen's mansion.

"Is this going to arrest Li Zhen?" Li Ke asked on the road.

Zhou Jinyan smiled and said, "It's not to arrest him, but to put him under house|house arrest temporarily as a suspect. He is the prince, and I don't have any evidence now. Remember to put him under house|house arrest."

"I'm afraid he won't follow?" Li Ke expressed doubts.

Zhou Jinyan sneered and said, "If it was a suspect from another family, he would be taken directly to prison, but why not put him under house arrest?"

Li Ke didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Brother Zhou, sometimes I think you are not afraid of anything, but sometimes you think things are too simple. This Li Zhen doesn't say anything else, he is the prince after all."

Zhou Jinyan knew that he said he was naive, but he had the bottom line in his heart, and he was justified. If you are in a hurry, he will jump on you.

Touching the silenced pistol in his arms, Zhou Jinyan smiled triumphantly.

If it can't be done, wouldn't it be nice to kill Li Zhen without anyone noticing it?
