Reborn as King again

Chapter 23 Night Market

Qin Tianlang was stopped by Sun Erniu before to sue him, so today he is also a witness, and he came to listen to He Wenwu's interrogation, but the more he listened to it, the more nervous he became. He didn't expect that I would bring He Wenliu to listen, he didn't expect The Eighth Prince came to preside over the trial, not to mention that Sun Erniu was actually from Zheng Guo!Now that cowardly Chen Dong confessed him!

Qin Tianlang immediately knelt on the ground and explained: "Eighth Prince, don't listen to their nonsense, how could the lower officials know people in the market. They framed me."

Xiao Ba didn't gnaw, but just looked at the bank note, which was from Guangfa Bank, so he said: "Come here, bring the boss of Guangfa Bank to me."

After an hour, the guards brought Boss Xu from Guangfa Bank to Dali Temple. Boss Xu looked like a man who knew how to do business, with a calculating look on his face. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Xu Fu, the villain, is the owner of Guangfa Qianzhuang's capital firm. Greetings to the Emperor, Concubine Wen, and the Eighth Prince."

Xiao Ba held the bank note and asked, "Boss Xu, can you see if this bank note was issued from your bank?"

Then Xu Fu took the banknote with both hands, looked at the source and the seal, and said: "It is indeed from the villain." Xiaoba then asked: "Then, does Boss Xu still remember who you gave this banknote to?"

Xu Fu thought for a while and said: "Go back to the lord, the villain remembers that a month ago, the minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Tianlang, Lord Qin came to the bank to withdraw money, and the villain issued the bank note to Master Xu."

"Xu Fu! You're spewing blood!" Qin Tianlang yelled at the court, and then said to Xiaoba: "Eighth Prince, don't listen to his nonsense, I do have an account in Guangfa Bank, but I can I haven't gone to him to withdraw money for a long time, besides, Guangfa Bank comes in and out of bank notes every day, he is the big boss, how could he remember every account so clearly."

Xiao Ba felt reasonable after hearing this, so he asked Boss Xu: "Do you have any evidence to prove that this bank note was given to Mr. Qin?"

Boss Xu said slowly: "500 taels is not a small amount. If someone comes to pick it up, it must be received by a villain. After the money is taken away, it will be signed and pledged by the taker. If you don't believe me, the prince can check our Account book." Boss Xu looked at the bank note again and said, "I can assure you that Mr. Qin must have taken the bank note from the villain's hand, because the 500 taels of bank note I handed to Mr. Qin before , there is an oil stain on the lower left corner." Then, he handed the bank note back to Xiao Ba, and Xiao Ba took a closer look, and sure enough, there was oil stain on the lower left corner of the bank note, and he immediately raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Qin Tianlang! Could it be that you really framed He Wenwu?! What else do you have to say!"

Qin Tianlang was so frightened that he couldn't help but kneel on the ground, kowtowed and said: "My lord, please forgive me, I was wronged, I was really wronged, the bank note did not belong to me, and I didn't give it to Chen. Dong and Sun Erniuqian asked them to frame He Wenwu, they are all people in the market, the prince should not believe their words."

Xiao Ba ignored Qin Tianlang's ghostly cries and wolves, and just asked Sun Erniu in the hall: "Sun Erniu, I will ask you again, did you kill my wife?" Sun Erniu knelt on the ground , Leng Leng did not speak again, he knew that the situation was over.Seeing that Sun Erniu didn't speak, Xiao Ba stood up, slapped the desk hard, and said sharply, "Say!"

Seeing that Sun Erniu was still silent, Chen Dong was very anxious. He was a covetous person who was afraid of death, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, Lord Qin ordered us to do all this. Lord Qin gave us money to let Erniu Sun Niu killed Mrs. Wang, then asked me to go to He Mansion to steal General He’s jade pendant for Sun Erniu, and then put the blame on General He, villain... The villain just stole the jade pendant, please check carefully..."

After hearing Chen Dong's confession, a smile appeared on Xiao Ba's face. It seemed that his goal had been achieved. Xiao Ba put his arms on the side of Dali Temple Minister Yan who hadn't said a word since the beginning of the trial. My lord said: "Master Yan, did you hear that, He Wenwu was wronged, hurry up and close the case~"

Lord Yan was dumbfounded, closing statement?This case now involves Qin Tianlang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Zheng Guo's spies. A bunch of questions have not been resolved, so it will not be tried?Master Yan really didn't know what to do, so he turned his head to me again, asking for my opinion.

This time I paid attention to him, nodded to him, and let him follow Xiao Ba's wishes, because I know Xiao Ba's mind is full of civil and military overturning the case, and I don't care about other things.

So Master Yan announced: "After the examination by Dali Temple, it was found that He Wenwu was wronged, and he is now released without charge."

He Wenliu, who had been sitting next to me, didn't soften until after Master Yan announced the result. Regardless of etiquette, he stood up quickly, ran down from the hall, went to He Wenwu's side, helped He Wenwu up, and only listened to He Wenliu. She asked with concern: "Second brother, are you okay?"

He Wenwu stood up slowly, patted He Wenliu's hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, the second brother is fine."

Then He Wenwu saluted me sitting in the lobby: "Thank you, Your Majesty." I was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled at him. He Wenwu is not a fool, he should have guessed that I am manipulating behind the scenes with all this.

Xiao Ba also hurried down from the main seat. He was still serious just now, but now he immediately turned into a sticky candy, pestering He Wenwu and saying, "Why don't you thank me? I even talked about it to help you." .”

The case of He Wenwu in Dali Temple must be a special case among Terry, because from the beginning of the trial to the end, he said a total of two sentences, and he was acquitted in the end.

During the trial process, I didn't express any opinion, I just watched quietly from the sidelines, Xiaoba is worthy of being my imperial brother, he proceeded step by step according to the plan in my heart.

In fact, when Qin Tianlang came to the imperial study to sue me, I knew that everything was not easy.On the surface, I obeyed Qin Tianlang's arrangement, put He Wenwu in prison, and let the yamen not intervene after investigating, just to let Qin Tianlang relax his vigilance and make him think that I don't care about He Wenwu's case at all. Inwardly, I arranged for my cronies to investigate the whole matter clearly. I knew that Qin Tianlang was framing He Wenwu, and then I calmly reminded Xiaoba to check on Sun Erniu's wife. Wang's background, intentionally or unintentionally, let him discover Sun Erniu's background and Chen Dong's gambling debts.I want to protect He Wenwu, but I can't let the people in the court know my selfishness, and I can't let them know that I want to run Qin Tianlang and the Jia family. As a admirer of He Wenwu, Xiao Ba performed very well The role of the presiding judge.

In fact, this case is very simple. Qin Tianlang saw He Wenwu and Wang's dispute in the street. Qin Tianlang secretly investigated Wang and found that her husband, Sun Erniu, was a gambler, and Sun Erniu's good friend Chen Dong was working in the He Mansion, and he was also a gambler. He quickly made a plan in his heart and gave the two of them a sum of money to frame He Wenwu. In order to gamble, Sun Erniu did not hesitate to kill his own son. To get a wife, and then take the jade pendant stolen by Chen Dong, and stop Qin Tianlang's sedan chair to sue the imperial court. All of this was arranged in advance.

As for the fact that Sun Erniu is a "Zheng Guo spy", it is purely coincidental. According to my investigation, Sun Erniu is indeed from Zheng Guo, and he did intend to take root after he came to Datong.But now his background has been found out, he is a native of Zheng Guo, he was also a soldier, and now he is framing He Wenwu, it is difficult to doubt him or not on these three points.In my opinion, Sun Erniu must be "Zheng Guo's spy", because only in this way can Qin Tianlang be thoroughly punished.

In the previous life, Qin Tianlang opened the gate of the capital for King Rui. I longed for him to die. Now he joins forces with Sun Erniu, the "Spy of Zheng Guo", to frame He Wenwu, the great general of Yuanma in our country. Lang is sitting down!

Lord Yan got up slowly, walked to my side, and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

"What to do, what to do." I stood up, looked at Qin Tianlang and the others who were still kneeling there, and said, "Put Qin Tianlang and the others in the prison of Dali Temple first, and you will take care of them for me." Investigate and investigate," I said, and I patted Lord Yan on the shoulder and said, "After all, 'collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country' is a serious crime, Lord Yan must investigate it for me." Lord Yan has been in the officialdom for so many years, and the old fritters Just now, Xiao Ba didn't mention "collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country" during the trial process. Now that I say it like this, he should know that Qin Tianlang must be convicted, and it is a serious crime of "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country".

"Yes." Lord Yan replied respectfully.

After everything was settled, the sky became a little dark, and He Wenliu and I sat in the carriage and planned to return to the palace.Along the way, He Wenliu was smirking, his eyes were always crescent-shaped, probably because his second brother proved his innocence, and the big stone in his heart was relieved.In the carriage, He Wenliu kept pulling the curtain to look out, curiously looking at the scene outside the carriage.I remember that since He Wenliu entered the palace, he has never been out of the palace, and now he has finally come out once, and he is very fresh about everything.

I took his hand and said, "Concubine Wen, we're all out anyway, how about going around?" When He Wenliu heard this, he nodded vigorously, like pounding garlic, "Yes."

Then we got out of the car, the capital was still a bit cold at night, I took out a light yellow brocade cloak from the car and put it on for He Wenliu.The night market in the capital is very lively, there are many people coming and going, I was really afraid of getting separated from He Wenliu, so I took his hand, interlocked with his fingers, and started walking.

He Wenliu seemed to be a little bit resistant, after all, it's not etiquette for two people to hold hands in public, I don't care, I just grabbed it, grabbed it hard, and said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, we are husband and wife, what's the point of holding hands and shopping?" No, I have to find you if I get separated later." He Wenliu had no choice but to give up with a blushing face.

We just walked on the streets of the night market in Beijing. There are hawkers selling all kinds of goods on the street. Every time we passed a small stall, He Wenliu would take a curious look. After turning around for a while, I saw him staring at a stall for a while. I couldn't move, I took a look, and it turned out that the little boss of the stall was making sugar figurines.

Wanfu has been following us two zhang away, he is a fine man, as soon as he saw He Wenliu looking at the sugar man, he immediately walked to my side, took out a money bag from his arms and handed it over, saying: "Master, Since Madam likes it, you can buy one for him." I took the purse, and Wanfu immediately returned it to its original position.

I asked, "Do you like it?"

"En." Although He Wenliu answered my words, his eyes never left the sugar man.So I said, "Boss, I want this sugar figurine, how much is it?"

Sugar figurines are very cheap, only a penny, but the purse Wanfu gave me was full of silver, not even a copper coin, so I had to give a piece of silver to the peddler. The peddler usually does small business. All the money I found was copper coins, and the money bag Wanfu gave me suddenly became bulging.

He Wenliu took the candy figurine, took a bite and said, "It's so sweet." Then, he handed the bitten candy figurine to my mouth and said, "Try it." I didn't calm down for a while, No matter in this life or in the previous life, no one would ever do this and let me eat what they have already eaten.He Wenliu also realized that it was not good to do so, and wanted to take his hand back. How could I, grabbed his hand, put the bitten part into his mouth, bit off a piece, and said, "It's really sweet." And It's cloyingly sweet, I don't understand why He Wenliu likes to eat this kind of food.
