It is common for ordinary people to know little about the royal affairs, but after all Sun Zhihao came back from the capital, and was fortunate enough to become the magistrate handpicked by the emperor. With such an honor, he naturally has a general understanding of the royal family's ins and outs.Rumor has it that the emperor's own sister, the eldest princess, is unparalleled in appearance, peerless, and especially favored by the emperor.The eldest princess's whereabouts are elusive, and she hardly lives in the palace, only occasionally returning to the palace to have a small gathering with the emperor.It is also said that the eldest princess holds the "weak underbelly" of many ministers in the court, so as to restrain them, so that they dare not make excessive moves.Of course, these are just what Sun Zhihao heard from the ministers. Some ministers also said that the eldest princess acted regardless of her elders and did whatever she wanted, which caused the emperor a headache. secret.

Regardless of the rumors, the eldest princess is the eldest princess after all.Now that he is fortunate enough to see his true face, how can Sun Zhihao be negligent?When the sound of "Princess arrives" resounded in the hall, he had already slightly adjusted his official uniform and hat and trotted down the hall to greet her. "Sun Zhihao, prefect of Suzhou, welcome the Eldest Princess." He knelt on the ground, his gaze resting on the hem of Shang Meier's palace robe, not daring to raise his head to stain her appearance.

"Get up." With an extremely cold sentence, Shang Meier's gaze remained on Shen Juexin who was lying on the ground not moving at all.She sneered and walked straight forward, and a servant brought a chair for her to sit on. "I heard that the magistrate Sun is on trial, and I happened to be in Suzhou, so I came to have a look. I just don't know if the trial of this case is over or not?"

"Back to Princess Chang, the case is almost over. The witnesses and the material evidence are complete, but this villain has been refusing to plead guilty for a long time. I have no choice but to use torture to make him confess." What Sun Zhihao said was true, Shen Juexin did not confess, and he was charged for not pleading guilty. , this case cannot have a thorough understanding.He didn't know why this eldest princess appeared in such a ostentatious way, maybe... Sun Zhihao had a reverie in his heart, he heard that the eldest princess had never married anyone so far, if he was lucky enough to be favored by her this time, his future would be boundless.

Thinking in this way, Sun Zhihao couldn't help raising his head slightly, glanced at it in surprise, and sighed in his heart: beautiful, extremely beautiful!The appearance is unparalleled, what is the rumor?He stared blankly, if someone hadn't coughed a few times, Sun Zhihao would have been staring blankly.Everyone in the world loves beauty. Is it wrong to be greedy for such beauty?

"Really? The prisoner still refuses to confess?" Chang Meier looked at Shen Juexin who was still motionless, and said: "I am new here, and I am very interested in the trial. Why don't the magistrate Sun come for a new trial? So that I can see how my lord can solve the case like a god. Is it not good for the prisoner lying on the floor to see me and pretend to be dead? Raise your head and let me take a good look , What does the murderer look like?"

Such a good case!Sun Zhihao liked this adjective very much, and wanted to make friends with Shang Meier.He sat back on the seat of the magistrate, with a proper demeanor, where the official prestige lies: "Shen Juexin, the Eldest Princess asked you to raise your head, do you dare not do so? Come here, and the punishment will be temporarily spared, and help her up."

The aching body was lifted up by two yamen servants, Shen Juexin slowly raised his head in hatred, his whole body could not help but freeze in place as far as his eyes could see.Her mouth was slightly opened, her face full of disbelief.In front of him, the magnificent beauty sitting next to Sun Zhihao, is she a vixen?Is it the charming and charming owner of Hongxiufang?Yeah?Yeah?After meeting Ling Ruchu who had the same appearance as Ruoxue, Shen Juexin was not sure whether the eldest princess sitting in the hall was actually Shang Meier.is it possible?She believes that Shang Meier's identity is mysterious and her background is not small, but the position of the eldest princess is too ridiculously tall, so she can't believe it.

Looking at Shen Juexin's ecstatic face, the servants around Shang Meier were not happy, and neither was Sun Zhihao.Looking at Shang Meier again, instead of being annoyed in the slightest, she smiled openly and looked at her from time to time: "Why, I haven't seen enough after watching it for so long! It's so far away, but I can see it clearly? Why don't I get closer May I ask you to have a look?"

"Shen Juexin! How can a sinner like you want to watch the princess's dignity! Hurry up and kneel down!" Sun Zhihao shouted from the side.

"That's all right, all right, Lord Sun don't need to get angry. Let's start the trial now!" Shang Meier waved her hands impatiently, looked at Shen Juexin and said: "The prisoner under the hall, Sun Zhifu said that you committed the crime of murder. There are all witnesses and material evidence, why don't you confess?"

"I didn't kill anyone, how do I confess?" Seeing now, Shen Juexin understood the general idea.Although she still didn't dare to jump to conclusions, one thing is for sure, the arrival of the Eldest Princess will benefit her and not harm her.

"Nonsense! Shen Juexin, the evidence is solid, you can't deny it!" The gavel was held in Sun Zhihao's hand, and he was about to take a picture of it, but because the eldest princess was listening in the hall, he finally gave up.

"Didn't kill anyone? How do you say that? Sun Zhifu is not someone who intentionally wronged others, you should tell the story and listen to it, so that we don't wrong you." Shang Meier smiled lightly.

What if Sun Zhihao disagrees with the eldest princess?Helpless, he had no choice but to agree: "Shen Juexin, the eldest princess wants you to tell what happened, so go ahead!"

"Wronged? I have been wronged from the beginning! Back to the eldest princess, Cao Min and the deceased Ling Yuanwai were friends and had business dealings. That day..." Although she said these words countless times, this time, Shen Juexin almost completely recounted what happened along with those details that she only thought of later.Especially before and after she was knocked unconscious, she explained in detail. "Princess, that's what happened. If Shen Juexin lies even a single sentence, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky!"

"I don't know if you have lied, but corpses can't lie. Magistrate Sun, do you think so?" When she said this, there was always a smile on the corner of Shang Meier's lips.That smile really turned all living beings upside down, and Sun Zhihao couldn't help being dazed for a long time. 'Snapped'!He rang the gavel, and even though the eldest princess was here, he still kept calm and shouted: "Bold and heartless! You keep saying that you are not lying! Then why does the time of death recorded in the autopsy record written by Wu Zuo differ from you?" You were gentle when you entered and exited Ling's house! You clearly have bad intentions, deliberately deceived the official, and even lied in front of the eldest princess! Someone! Hit me!"

"Wait!" Shang Meier stopped Shen Juexin when she was about to be beaten again, she turned her head to look at Sun Zhihao, and said coldly: "Prefect Sun, as far as I know, the autopsy records are useless. The results will be given after the personal inspection. Dare I ask, where is the post-mortem work now?"

"This..." Sun Zhihao hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Princess Hui, Wu Zuo has something at home recently, so he took a big leave and went back to his hometown."

It was expected to be so.Shang Meier raised the corners of her lips and smiled, nodded to the servant behind her, and said: "It's okay, I happen to have an expert autopsy by my side, this person is cautious and observant, and has assisted the government to solve strange cases many times. Master Lu!" She called out, and sent a few more soldiers over, saying: "Go to the morgue with Master Lu to examine the corpse of Officer Ling, and you, and you. The two of you will lead the way Let's go!" Perhaps Master Lu was ignorant of the situation, so Shang Meier asked two servants from the government office to lead the way.

Did you really come here to hear the trial by intervening like this?Sun Zhihao had question marks in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out.He could only obediently stay where he was, and wait for Master Lu to return from the autopsy.The waiting time was particularly difficult. Sun Zhihao knew that what he did in the autopsy record was really wrong, but so what?If he hadn't been unwilling, how could he have repeatedly troubled Shen Juexin?He just wanted to see Shen Juexin die, and also wanted Su Wanning to know that she chose the wrong person.

Master Lu finished the autopsy, and his personal soldiers brought the body over, and said: "I report to the Eldest Princess, the autopsy records made by the government officials are really wrong, and the time of death above is really delayed by one or two days. day."

"Oh?" Hearing this, the smile on Shang Meier's lips became more and more obvious.She got up and walked to Shen Juexin, stretched out her hand to caress her tortured rough face, feeling very distressed, "According to what Master Lu said, the time when the prisoner appeared in Ling's residence was not the same as the time when Ling Yuanwai was killed." It matches. If so, why did she imprison her hands and feet and force a confession? Sun Zhifu said that there are all witnesses and physical evidences, so I would like to ask, besides the physical evidences, where are the witnesses?"

Whether there is an answer, Sun Zhihao sat in the hall and did not make a sound for a long time.Even if he was a little slow in reacting, he wouldn't have known that the Eldest Princess was not kind.Witnesses?The physical evidence has been overturned, and the rest of the certification is the servant of Ling's house who came to report the crime.And that servant disappeared without a trace as early as after reporting the crime.

"Huh? Why don't you talk anymore? Is there no witness? Mr. Sun, you have no witness, but my personal soldiers have recently caught a thief who is stealing everywhere. I don't know if I don't have a trial. First trial...Come on, arrest someone Bring it to me!" It's also a good thing that none of the people under her command are able to eat, otherwise, it's hard to guarantee that her enemy will continue to suffer.

The eldest princess has an order, who dares to neglect the soldiers?I saw two soldiers in yellow shirts escorting a middle-aged man into the hall, just as he was kneeling on the ground, the man hurriedly kowtowed to Shang Mei'er, begging for mercy more than once: "Princess, please forgive me! Princess, spare me! Caomin, no, no, no, the little one didn’t kill anyone! It wasn’t me who killed, it was my cousin who didn’t know where he was! He sneaked into Ling’s mansion as a servant, planning to conspire with me to steal some money. Who would have thought Being discovered by Ling Yuanwai and taking action to stop it, something that shouldn't have happened just now!"
