Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Moon-Lan Pavilion.

After Jiang Fenghua came back, she had been practicing calligraphy quietly until Lian Ye told her that Xie Shang had gone to Sandalwood Courtyard. She then put down her wolf-howling pen and said, "As expected."

"The prince is probably going to consummate his marriage with that woman tonight." Lian Ye became angrier and angrier as she thought about it, and couldn't help but complain, "Why does the prince like Su Tingwan? She doesn't look like a lady from a noble family at all, and she doesn't even know how to be honored. The prince just likes women like this."

Jiang Fenghua's mind was not on Lian Ye's words. In her previous life, she didn't understand why Xie Shang doted on Su Tingwan so much. Today, she was even more confused. Not only did he get married with her in the land temple, but he also rode into the city on horseback, so ostentatiously.

She always felt that no matter how hard she tried, Xie Shang would marry Su Tingwan.

The temperament of Xie Shang ten years later is very different from that of Xie Shang now. It should be said that the temperament of Xie Shang after ascending the throne is very different from that of Xie Shang before ascending the throne.

Jiang Fenghua pinched her brows. She had been paying attention to Xie Shang since her rebirth. She remembered that year she was only five years old, and he was already fifteen years old. She was reborn just when he had won a battle and was in high spirits.

But he had clearly made great contributions but was punished by the emperor. She saw him crying and was almost heartbroken. She sobbed and cried with snot and tears. That was the only time she saw him in ten years. Since then, she has never shown up in front of him.

Later, he was also very diligent, and he did not neglect his studies and martial arts. He concealed his edge. Since he left the palace at the age of 20 and was canonized as King Heng, he rarely left the palace and seldom appeared in public. He met Su Tingwan when he was 22 years old. That year, Su Tingwan was 14 years old and had just returned to Shengjing from the border. She was a girl who loved to smile like a little sun. The Su family had an old house in Shengjing, so she lived in the Su Mansion. Occasionally, she was taken to the palace by Concubine Su to stay for a short time. After a few visits, the two became familiar with each other.

As for what happened to them later, it was natural for them to be together.

She thought: Xie Shang might be different from what she knew.

Hong Xiu never liked gossip, but tonight she pushed the door open happily and said, "The prince is out. I heard from Stewards Li and Zhang who are guarding the gate that the concubine in the Sandalwood Courtyard was so angry that she smashed the basin."

Jiang Fenghua curled his lips slightly, his expression indifferent, and said, "It's expected."

Tan Wanqing has never failed. As for how Su Tingwan feels, she doesn't care. Since she has entered Prince Heng's Mansion, she will just have to endure it slowly!

Since Xie Shang went out that night, he has not returned to the palace for two days. He has been living in the Jingzhao Prefecture government office for his food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Jiang Fenghua asked Butler Cheng to send him a few sets of clothes, and asked Madam Xu to send him some delicious meals, and said nothing else.

Su Tingwan started learning the rules and etiquette from Nanny Wang from the second day after entering the mansion, and Nanny Wang would naturally not be merciful.

In the yamen, Yang Jing died in a very tragic way. His penis was cut off and held in his mouth. There were also marks of being whipped on his body. Except for his face, there were many new and old wounds, as if he had been abused for a long time.

However, it was strange that he clearly died in the sedan chair, so where did the whip marks on his body come from?

Obviously the sedan chair was not the first crime scene.

There is much more to this than meets the eye.

Xie Shang was completely focused on the case and soon discovered clues. He personally led people into Shangshu Yang's house and arrested everyone in the house one by one for questioning and recording their statements.

The confessions were too consistent, which made people suspicious.

He personally supervised the first, second and third trials, and conducted rounds of detailed investigations on all 285 people in the Yang Mansion.

Xie Shang finally concluded that the murder of Shangshu Yang was not murder but revenge, because Yang Jingsheng was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice but he himself was the main culprit in the case, and not just one, which was incredible.

It even involved a major missing girl case three years ago, which involved a wide range of people. The former Jingzhao prefect was dismissed from his post because of his poor handling of the case.

Later, the case of the missing girl was handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling. From then on, the case was forgotten, no one heard about it, and no one cared about it, leaving the victim with nowhere to turn to.

Who would have thought that the Minister of Justice Yang Jing was the mastermind behind the girl's disappearance.

When Xie Shang found out about this, he felt that it was too much to describe in words.

Half a month later, he found out all the truth, collected the evidence and compiled it into a book and presented it in the Golden Palace.

"Yang Jing is a second-rank official in the court. Naturally, no one dares to investigate or punish him, which is why he can do whatever he wants." Xie Shang spoke passionately.

His eyes were sharp as he swept over the officials in the Golden Throne Hall. Finally, he looked at the emperor on the throne, knelt respectfully in the Golden Throne Hall, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I ask for your understanding. Minister Yang Jing really deserves death. Even if he is torn into pieces after his death, it will not be enough to comfort the souls of the 118 girls who died. Everyone in the Yang Mansion is an accomplice. I ask for your permission to confiscate their property and execute them."

The emperor's eyes were deep and he was furious. "This is my important official, the Minister of Justice of the Great Zhou. For three years, you have not found any clues and let him get away with it. Doctor Yushi, come and explain to me."

Censor He was so frightened that his legs were shaking, and he stepped out of the line tremblingly, "I seem to have noticed that Lord Yang had said something rude, but I thought it was a joke, so I didn't take it seriously."

It is normal for the Minister of Justice to make some dirty jokes. Which men don’t make dirty jokes when they are together? Who would have thought that he is such a person?

The emperor knocked on the imperial desk with a crisp sound, and everyone knelt down in fear. "Your Majesty, calm down. The emperor's health is the most important thing."

"My fifth brother solved a major case as his first job. This is cause for celebration."

Second Prince Xie Yu suddenly spoke up, and in a sarcastic tone, "I just have a question. Fifth brother, after all your passionate speeches, have you caught the murderer of Yang Shangshu? Fifth brother is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and every case should be handled from beginning to end. I think the missing girl's case was caused by Yang Shangshu, but where is the murderer of Yang Shangshu? This belongs to the first case, right!"

The Golden Throne Hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. No one dared to raise their heads. The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Prince Heng Xie Shang. The meaning was self-evident: he also wanted to know.

Xie Shang frowned slightly, his eyes dark and unclear, he cupped his hands and said to the emperor, "I have not yet found the murderer who killed Yang Jing, but Yang Jing's death is indeed not a pity..."

The emperor said coldly, "Since the case has not been investigated, it is not considered closed. Prince Heng will investigate again. Let's adjourn the court."

Cao Zongguan said loudly, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."

Everyone felt relieved and said, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

"Father." Xie Shang shouted anxiously, "If we don't deal with the Yang family, it will chill the hearts of the people."

The emperor turned around and gave him a cold look, "Putting the cart before the horse."

Xie Shang's heart trembled violently, his eyes were deep and empty, he stared at the emperor's back as if it was an endless cliff, which made him feel scared.

As soon as everyone left, the Second Prince Xie Yu walked towards him nonchalantly and said teasingly, "Fifth brother is bold and wise, but it's a pity that he has a lot of passion but nowhere to display it. No matter how hard he tries, he will only be hated by the emperor in the end."

Xie Shang clenched his fists and gave Xie Yu a cold look. In the end, he said nothing and turned away.
