After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

In order to protect himself, Lin Shikai insisted that he didn't know the prisoner had been replaced. After all, he was not in charge of the escort.

If the people under him made a mistake, he would be guilty, but at most he would be implicated and convicted. However, if he admitted that he was the one who released the person, he would be deceiving the emperor and his life would be in danger.

As long as there is no solid evidence, he will insist that he is innocent.

The emperor saw that he spoke with conviction, as if he had been framed, so he did not insist on sentencing him.

Qin Zhuo brought Han Yin in and said that he had killed the witness.

Coincidentally, Han Yin also said that he was wronged.

He also suspected Qin Zhuo of murdering him. Although Qin Zhuo went there later, he felt that Qin Zhuo deliberately went there to wait in order to frame him.

"Absurd, absolutely ridiculous!"

Qin Zhuo didn't even need to explain himself, as everyone else thought what he said was ridiculous.

Han Yin originally wanted to save his uncle, but now he almost got himself into trouble. However, if he wanted to get out of it, he could only say such ridiculous remarks. It was certain that Shen Changlin died of poisoning. If he couldn't come up with an explanation, he would really become a murderer.

Seeing that the situation was getting tense, the Minister of Justice came in a hurry and gave the emperor an answer: "Your Majesty, I have interrogated all the officers and soldiers, and finally someone came forward to identify the head of the police Li Erzhu. Li Erzhu's mother was seriously ill, and he borrowed money from everywhere to pay for her medical treatment. His family was very poor, but the day before yesterday someone saw him buying roast chicken to eat. I sent people to search his house and found several newly bought medicines and some silver on his bed."

The tray presented the silver, shining silver, with three large ingots, a handful of broken silver, and a bag of copper coins. This was obviously not the property of a person who was so poor that he had to borrow money everywhere.

Lin Shikai sighed, "It's him, Your Majesty. He is a filial man. He is honest and conscientious in his daily work. He is also promoted by me. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient with him for his filial piety."

Just a few words, seemingly pleading for mercy, actually confirmed Li Erzhu's guilt.

The emperor sat firmly on the high platform. It was unclear whether he believed it or not. His eyes flickered and he waved his hand to let people go.

Two quarters of an hour later, the eunuch came out with the verdict: "Minister of the Ministry of Justice Lin Shikai was negligent, did not discipline his subordinates strictly, and was careless in his work. He deeply betrayed my grace. I will now dismiss him from his position as Minister and demote him to Doctor of the Ministry of Justice to see how he performs in the future."

The Shangshuwei was of the second rank, the Shilang was of the second rank, but the Langzhong was of the fifth rank, a demotion of four levels.

Lin Shikai's body was shaking as he lowered his head: "I... accept your command and thank you."

The emperor only demoted Lin Shikai. As for Li Erzhu and Han Yin, they were naturally imprisoned. Their cases would be re-examined by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Minister Lu Hong wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "It was a close call. He managed to keep his official hat."

Seeing the young man standing on one side, Lu Hong cupped his hands and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

If Qin Zhuo sent the body directly to the palace, and the Han family got the news first and made arrangements, it would be unknown who would be dragged out to take the blame.

Yes, they all knew that Li Erzhu was dragged out to take the blame, but sometimes the truth is just hard to find out.

However, he was demoted four levels for a crime of negligence, which was enough to prove that the emperor had a clear mind.

Qin Zhuo looked at him, his expression became much more serious: "Lord Lu is a rare good official. Qin is not a good person, but I can tell the difference between good and bad."

There was no solicitation or excessive flattery, but it just touched Lu Hong's heart.

As an official, no matter whether you are good or bad, who doesn’t want to be praised by others?

Flattery starts to sound fake when you hear it too much, but this kind of plain but sincere words do not need to be embellished with fancy words and instead make people feel real.

"Master Qin is Chicheng."

Qin Zhuo nodded with an indifferent expression, as if he had just said something insignificant.

Seeing this, Lu Hong felt more at ease. It seemed that Qin Zhuo was just helping him out and had no intention of using this to persuade him to be loyal to the prince.

Such openness and honesty made him look at him with new eyes.

He remembered this favor.

Shen Changlin's body was sent to the Ministry of Justice, where he was unexpectedly reunited with his son.

Han Yin could not be locked up in the Heavenly Prison. His grandfather was the Duke of Han and his father was the Governor of Northern Frontier. He held great power and was in charge of local government affairs. He had no less than ten uncles and cousins ​​serving as officials in the court, not to mention a group of officials who were related to him and belonged to the same party as them.

Even if Han Yin is guilty, the Han family can still make some money, not to mention that they cannot nail him to death now.

However, Qin Zhuo didn't want to kill Han Yin. He didn't want to kill you, but he wouldn't let you have an easy life either.

Shen Ning was in a daze for three days before he finally woke up. When he saw himself lying in a strange place, his first thought was not panic, but relief.

She is still alive. She is still alive. She thought she was dead.

Polygonatum, yes, Polygonatum!

"Yeah, the girl is awake."

A maid dressed in green came over, her pretty little face entered Shen Ning's sight, and she got very close to her, looking at her with a pair of dark eyes.

"Girl, are you awake? Can you hear me?"

Shen Ning raised her hand, and the maid quickly grabbed it: "I'm here, do you want some water?"

The purple-clothed maid beside her quickly poured water over and carefully fed her two sips with a spoon.

Shen Ning was finally able to open his mouth, his voice was tearing: "Yuzhu, girl...how is my Yuzhu..."

The maid in green smiled and replied, "She is awake and living in the front wing. However, her head injury is severe, so I'm afraid she will need to recover longer than you."

Shen Ning knew that Yuzhu was seriously injured, but as long as she was alive, it was fine.

After surviving the disaster, tears fell uncontrollably.

The maid in green clothes was surprised and said, "Why are you still crying? If you survive a great disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. All the suffering is over."

Shen Ning calmed down for a while, suppressing the sob in his throat: "Thank you, ladies."

The purple-clothed maid smiled and said, "We are just following orders. Miss, please thank my master."

Knowing that Shen Ning was confused, the two smiled mysteriously: "It is inconvenient to tell you the master's identity. You will know when he comes."

Shen Ning really didn't know who saved her, because her eyes were covered with blood at the time and she was in extreme panic and didn't pay attention to anything else.

"What are your names, ladies?"

The maid in green clothes said, "My name is Lumei, her name is Ziyan, we have been guarding you these past few days."

Zi Yan pulled a small table over and said, "When the girl wakes up, use some porridge to soothe her stomach. I'll bring you food later. Eat something and your injury will heal faster."

The two men gently helped Shen Ning up, but even though they were gentle, the pain from the wounds on his body still made Shen Ning sweat.

No, it should be said that the pain had been there all along, but she didn't even notice it when she woke up.

After eating the porridge, Shen Ning watched the two people changing her medicine. When she heard them say that she had been having fevers again and again in the past few days and couldn't take the medicine, she became more grateful to them and to the person who saved her.
