Consort Zhanzhao

There was silence in the hall.

Not to mention the more than 300 new champions, even the courtiers who have been officials for many years are all staring, a little dull on the surface, and almost have no ability to think because they are so excited.

The eyes of the people couldn't help shaking, the dead man lying on the side of the pillar - just got into Tanhua, he didn't even want a good future, and he filed a lawsuit before he died, and now he is so dead that he can't even bleed Out.

Yan Chasan, who was kneeling on the ground——If you say this is Master Bao's disciple, even if he is not a dragon and phoenix, he must have knowledge, even if it is cheating... probably not.He even begged to marry the princess in public, alas...

Mr. Bao, who has always had a dark face and calm, can't see anything.But it is still a gloat, thinking that this time he was sued with his life, and he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die, and he might lose his life at a later date.

Finally, it was the princess who was hiding behind the main hall, completely blocked by the veil. There was a voice just now, it was the voice of a young girl, and the people in front heard it.

Looking at the emperor's face like the bottom of a pot, many people sighed... It was a great ceremony, and now it's done like this, how can it end.

The first one to break the silence was Zhan Zhao, who had been standing beside Tang Jinge, and said, "Weichen invite this person out first." He was talking about the corpse lying on the ground.

The emperor nodded, and Wu Chengye hurriedly arranged for several eunuchs to clean up.

Zhao Bijia couldn't control much at this meeting, because she was behind the emperor, no one dared to look up at Tianyan, so she simply stood behind the curtain and saw all the expressions and movements of the people below.

Speaking of today's event, Yan Chasan just won the first prize, it doesn't matter, the number one scholar has to be in the Imperial Academy for a few years before he officially enters the imperial court, so leaving him aside, the most important thing is to drag Mr. Bao into the water.

Who in the court hates Lord Bao the most?Hate to the point of death, want his reputation besides his life?Besides Taishi Pang whose son was killed, is there another person?

Zhao Bijia's eyes fell on Grand Master Pang.

Grand Master Pang... with his head down halfway, it seems that he can't see anything, but just because he can't see it, he is even more suspicious.Seeing Mr. Bao's misfortune on weekdays, whether it's true or not, Grand Master Pang will come out to make a fuss, but today he is so silent...hell if there is no problem.

After a moment of silence, officials from Yushitai came out.He glanced at Mr. Bao, then at Yan Chasan who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "There is no evidence for this, but..."

But the hall smelled of fresh blood, lingering around everyone's nose, this was a life, and it was the life of a freshly baked Tanhua.

"It's better to put Yan Chasan in prison first, and then send someone to investigate carefully."

There is nothing wrong with this statement, no matter which side people do things in this way, it seems to be impartial.

The emperor hummed, and watched a few eunuchs carry the washbasin, rags and other things to clean up, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The champion of the new department retreats first."

Officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came up to lead the way, and these new champions who had just passed the imperial examination and thought they were about to make a fortune soon, but when they came up, they were scared to death by the big scene of teaching them how to behave, and led them out of the hall.

The runner-up who was at the top was so frightened that his legs trembled, and in a blink of an eye he was the only one left in the top three... However, if the number one was knocked out, wouldn't he be able to get another one?

He couldn't help but look back at Yan Chasan who was still kneeling in the hall.

Yan Chasan cannot leave, he himself understands this, besides, the emperor has agreed to imprison him just now, but he has not yet said where he received it... Yan Chasan suddenly felt a flash of guilt, and now, he is considered I understand a little bit.

At first, I was afraid it was a trick... But when he turned his face and saw the blood that had seeped into the dark stone slab, what could he say?Said in front of the public that it was the dead man who set him up just now?The two have no grievances or enmity, and they are dead and unconvincing anyway, and they will definitely be labeled as such if they speak out.

To say that he was evading, since Tang Jinge is dead anyway, he has no mouth to defend himself.

Yan Chasan sighed quietly, his back drooped a little more, and when he looked up, the princess who was innocently implicated by him was standing in the curtain behind the emperor, showing her head and shaking her head at him, as if It also means telling him to calm down first.

In a blink of an eye, there were only a dozen officials left in the hall.

Renzong looked around at them and said, "Who is right to hear this case?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhao Bijia was also thinking, since Mr. Bao was involved, the case must not be tried by the Kaifeng Mansion, and because it was a lawsuit against the officials, it might have to be handed over to the Dali Temple.

The officials below are also involved in this, especially when they are entangled between the two options of "the people sue the officials" and "the officials sue the officials".

The emperor slapped the handle of the chair heavily, and said, "Let the Dali Temple be in charge of the trial! The Criminal Department will supervise!"

Seeing the emperor's speech, there was nothing to argue about, everyone fell silent, and suddenly Grand Master Pang jumped out, saying: "This Yan Chasan... has been accused of cheating and has bad intentions towards the princess. !"

"No!" "No!"

There were two people who immediately objected, one was Bao Zheng and the other was Bai Yutang.

The two looked at each other, and Bai Yutang, who was eager to try, took two steps back.

"Report to Your Majesty." Bao Zheng said in a deep voice, "The truth of this matter has yet to be verified. Yan Chasan still has a reputation, and he cannot be punished without evidence."

Grand Master Pang sneered, pointing to the blood on the ground, "You killed a Tanhua, I think you protect him like this, just to get him off the hook."

Bao Zheng tilted his head and ignored him, only talking to Emperor Renzong, "There is no evidence."

Grand Master Pang was furious by his contempt, and said: "You are involved, you have to avoid suspicion!"

Among other things, this sentence is still slightly lethal, especially to the upright Bao Zheng, he glared at Grand Master Pang, although he stopped talking, but his lips were tightly pressed, and he made up his mind.

After talking about this, I started talking about where Yan Chasan was going to be locked up.

Some people said that since the Dali Temple is trying the case, it is better to be locked in the Dali Temple, and some people say that since the Ministry of Criminal Investigation is investigating, it is safer to lock such important witnesses in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The two sides chattered non-stop, and some people even brought out that prisoners had run into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice a few years ago, and people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that the prison in Dali Temple was not safe, and some prisoners committed suicide by taking poison.

While listening, Yang and An suddenly said: "Princess, the guard Zhan is calling you."

Zhao Bijia came back to her senses, and looked at Yang and An in surprise. He seemed to be standing beside her all the time, and Zhan Zhao also went to deal with the dead body. When did these two get online?

But after thinking about it, she didn't stop taking a step, and followed Yang and An to the outside of the hall.

Zhan Zhao's face was very serious, and seeing that she no longer had the gentle smile she used to, he saluted first, then pointed to a place in the distance where there were no people, "Princess, please speak further."

Zhao Bijia followed her, Zhan Zhao stood upright, the expression on his face was upright and credible to anyone, and he didn't seem to be too good at talking about this kind of topic.

"Nobody died."

Zhao Bijia almost exclaimed, but after all, she is not a princess who has experienced nothing, so she immediately calmed down and replied blankly, "That's great."

Zhan Zhao continued: "I tapped his acupoints and gave him medicine. Most people can't detect his breathing, but this method can't last long. That man has already been taken over by the people in the palace."

Zhao Bijia hummed, a little excited after hearing these things, and called Yang and An.

Yang and An nodded, "It's easy to handle, I'll ask someone to replace him later, and find someone with similar appearance and stature—"

"It's as long as you are close in stature," Zhan Zhao said, "I've already inquired about it. That person is going to take the exam alone. Even if his family members come over, it will take more than a month. By then, the truth has probably been found out."

After hearing this, Zhao Bijia was very impressed. How long has it been?The court officials hadn't finished talking, but Zhan Zhao had already done everything that could be done.

Even under the watchful eyes of everyone, it took only three or five breaths of effort to come up with such a way to confuse everyone and hide the most critical witness!

Zhao Bijia recalled that just now Zhanzhao pulled the man's sleeve, felt his pulse, and patted him a few times. There was no pause in the middle, and no one noticed it. He just watched the most important witness. Taken away in full view.

Zhao Bijia couldn't help looking at Zhan Zhao with admiration.

Zhan Zhao smiled at her, "I have one more thing to ask the princess."

"You said."

"Shaoqing, who is in charge of the prison in Dali Temple, is on good terms with Taishi Pang."

This is because he is afraid that Grand Master Pang will commit suicide in fear of crime, "Don't worry." Zhao Bijia nodded, "So you are going to imprison Yan Chasan in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Unexpectedly, Zhan Zhao shook his head again, "The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice... can be entered by anyone, which is even more inappropriate."

Zhao Bijia raised her eyebrows.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Otherwise, why would you beg the princess?"

Zhao Bijia glanced at him, nodded, and said slowly, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you! Never let anyone have a chance to touch him."

After speaking, the two separated, one returned to the main hall from the back, the other entered through the front door, and quietly walked to Mr. Bao's side.

The courtroom was still noisy, Yan Chasan was still kneeling alone in the center, looking even more miserable.

"Kaifeng Mansion must avoid suspicion!" Grand Master Pang rolled up his sleeves and went into battle in person, jumping up and down, his whole face blushing, "Yan Chasan is the protégé of Kaifeng Mansion Governor Bao Zheng, and the sworn brother of Kaifeng Mansion's guards. The case cannot be investigated by people from Kaifeng Mansion!"

Zhao Bijia glanced at Bai Yutang, his face was a little unnatural, as if he was ashamed that he had not resisted revealing his identity just now, and Taishi Pang took advantage of this and attacked them non-stop, and even lost the chance to assist in the investigation.

But...it seems that there is something else, he looked at Grand Master Pang, as if he wanted to talk to him about life tonight.

Zhao Bijia coughed, Grand Master Pang was proud of digging such a big hole for Bao Zheng, so he didn't hear it at all, but he was forced to act like a virtuous corporal, listening to the courtiers quarreling all morning, he couldn't concentrate at all The emperor heard it.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Bijia, only to see that his daughter was eager to try, obviously she had something to say.

Renzong took a look at the fierce quarrel between the two parties below, and there were a few eager to watch the battle, and beckoned, Zhao Bijia slipped behind the emperor's dragon chair.

"Hurry up and ask someone to go to Yan Chasan and the place where Tanhua lives. A group of people have left. If the news is leaked, I'm afraid they won't even find evidence."

The emperor was taken aback, and heard Zhao Bijia say again: "It turns out that Concubine Pang has done this before, and I have seen it a lot."

The emperor coughed and was about to speak when Zhao Bijia said again: "Lord Bao has offended so many people these years, why don't you send a few more eunuchs to have a look? Just like the supervising army?"

Renzong was stunned by his daughter's unrestrained imagination, but after thinking about it, it was the same reason. He beckoned Wu Chengye over, ordered a few words in a low voice, and found another high-sounding reason, "The prince is young, this meeting should He's had lunch."

Of course, Zhan Zhao saw the movement on the dragon chair. Of course, many courtiers saw it too, but the emperor said to the prince that he was not very healthy since he was a child. Of course, no one dared to say anything.

Renzong spread the news, and became interested again. After Zhao Bijia reminded him, his head, which had been quarreled with headaches just now, could think again. For example...Pang Taishi's jumping up and down is really suspicious.

Looking at the officials below who were exhausted from arguing, but still did not come up with too unified opinions, and Bao Zheng who stood silently on the side, Renzong once again realized the importance of Bao Zheng.

He coughed twice, signaled the officials below to be quiet, and then said: "The presiding judge of Dali Temple, the assistant of the Criminal Department, do you have any objections?"

The senior officials below shook their heads.

Renzong's face became more and more cold, and he was a little disappointed with these courtiers, "First, arrange people to go to Yan Chasan and Tanhua's house to check, and seal everything up!"

Dali Siqing and Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at each other involuntarily. One was "Yan Chasan" and the other was "Tanhua" who didn't even remember the name. What is the emperor implying?

Zhao Bijia smiled proudly at Zhanzhao, it's my credit!

Renzong stood up while shaking his head, Wu Chengye hurriedly yelled to retreat, and followed Emperor Renzong.

Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice are almost unconvinced by anyone, and besides, such a major case has a great reputation after being tried. Although the emperor said that Dali Temple is the presiding judge, there is still a fight for what can be disputed.

Especially Yan Chasan, if he could get something out of his mouth, that would be a great credit.

Several waves of people fought from the palace to the outside, and Yan Chasan's whereabouts were still undecided. Zhao Bijia watched the Ministry of Criminal Justice fight with Dali Temple, and Taishi Pang's inscrutable smile on the side, and Bao Zheng seemed a little worried look, took a deep breath.

At this time, Princess Zhenguo, who should be favored and proud, comes on stage.

Zhao Bijia followed behind Yang and An. Although there were only two of them, no one dared to despise her.

But it was precisely because of her that the female voice behind the veil and the cough at the end could all prove to be Princess Zhen Guo.

Therefore, Princess Zhen Guo heard it from the beginning to the end. Dali Siqing and Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at each other, and they were a little vigilant in their hearts.

"Yan Chasan!" Zhao Bijia suddenly called out.

Yan Chasan was startled, raised his head, and smiled wryly, "I'm troubling the princess."

Zhao Bijia frowned. Although she was still young and her face was full of tenderness unique to young girls, the expression that was so well-known to Concubine Zhang was also very severe.

Zhao Bijia didn't talk to Yan Chasan, but looked at the two officials, "Where are you two adults taking Yan Chasan?"

"Department of punishment!"

"Dali Temple!"

Zhao Bijia smiled, "This man... Bengong took over!"

"This……"

"Is the princess trying to interfere in the government?"

Why does Zhao Bijia care about this?Back then, her own mother did not interfere with government affairs, so why not sit on the imperial concubine's throne properly today?Even his son has become a prince.

There was also the Empress Dowager Liu who controlled the government for more than ten years, although the final outcome was not very good.

Zhao Bijia saw that Yang and An were the same, and Yang and An threw out his plaque of the sixth-rank eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, "This man has been involved in palace affairs, so he must be imprisoned in the palace."

"Don't worry, I won't stop you from asking whatever you want, but this person has to be locked up in the palace, until I ask clearly." Zhao Bijia's words are very oppressive, and the Ministry of punishment and Dali The two bosses of the temple looked at each other, bit the bullet and wanted to fight again, but Grand Master Pang took the lead.

"Is the princess trying to interfere in the government?" Grand Master Pang said viciously, as if he was about to roll up his sleeves in the next second.

Zhao Bijia smiled, as if she didn't care about Grand Master Pang at all. Bao Zheng, who was watching from the side, didn't say much, but Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already stood up.

Zhan Zhao's expression was still the same as before, except that he was a little serious, but Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing grinningly, he squeezed his hands back and forth, and his joints were ringing non-stop.

Grand Master Pang shrank his neck subconsciously, remembering that these two people were mixed together, and just now that Zhan Zhao almost flew from the emperor's side to the main hall, he turned his face and glanced at Bao Zheng again, and said sternly: "You don't care Tube!"

Bao Zheng gave him a soft nail, "What is the grand master referring to?"

Zhao Bijia smiled, "This man just proposed to me in the hall, if I let someone take him away like this, wouldn't it appear that I am incompetent?"

The cadence of these words can make a caring person hear a lot of meaning.

Grand Master Pang's eyes darkened, and he was about to speak but was snatched away by Zhao Bijia, "A few days ago, Grand Master's parents and sons trespassed in the Imperial Garden, but afterward, many people came to this palace to complain?"

Zhao Bijia raised her eyes and glanced at Grand Master Pang, "I heard that Concubine Pang is going to give birth in two days?"

Not only Taishi Pang understood such an obvious hint, but even Bai Yutang, a son and daughter of the Jianghu, understood it. The first sentence was to threaten Taishi Pang's new son, and the second sentence was to use Taishi Pang's own daughter. threaten.

Bai Yutang had never seen Zhao Bijia like this before. Although the Zhao Bijia in his impression...had a lot of heart, but the memory of throwing himself into Zhan Zhao's arms and crying that time was too deep, which made him always feel that the princess was soft and cute. of.

Today is really... all broken.

Bai Yutang secretly glanced at Zhan Zhao, and saw that Zhan Zhao's complexion was not very good, so Bai Yutang pulled him quietly, and said in a low voice, "It's expedient, don't think too much about it."

But he felt that Zhan Zhao didn't hear it, because neither his eyes nor his face changed at all.

Grand Master Pang squinted at Zhao Bijia, but he didn't even look twice before Yang He'an shouted "Bold!" and shouted back. Grand Master Pang looked at all the people present, snorted and flung his sleeves away.

"Let me see how long you can be arrogant!"

Zhao Bijia looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments and the Minister of Dali Temple, "Whatever you want to ask, just send someone to ask. This person is also involved in the affairs of the palace, and he was also interrogated in the palace. I would like to ask the two adults to make it easier. In the future, people may have a place to be an official in the same dynasty as the ministers."

Without Grand Master Pang, Zhao Bijia became more polite. The two officials looked at each other and sighed helplessly, "Let's do this first, but he may be interrogated in two days."

Zhao Bijia nodded, "I know."

The two adults walked away a little dejected, but the whispers of the two still came from the air, "People are good-looking."

"The princess has taken a fancy to him?"

Bao Zheng coughed, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Princess for your generous help."

Zhao Bijia said politely: "I don't believe it, and my father doesn't believe it either, otherwise things will definitely not go so smoothly. So Mr. Bao should step up his investigation in the past two days."

At this time, they were all on their own, Yan Chasan finally spoke, "Just now I heard that Tanhua asked to marry the princess. He has four or five concubines and three children. I was in a hurry and couldn't find anyone to discuss with... "Yan Chasan had a guilty look on his face, "Now that I think about it, I have fallen for the trick, and I have hurt the princess."

Yan Chasan bowed to the bottom and bowed deeply.

He has a strong scholarly air about him, and he has an upright face like Bao Zheng's, and he is even a little dazed. Zhao Bijia can't feel bad for such a person, so he comforted him with a smile: "It's okay. If you are an official, you have never been sent to a big prison, and you will not be able to achieve a high official position in the future. After a while, I will lock you in a big prison in the palace. It is a place for officials and eunuchs, so don't hold it against you."

Yan Chasan bowed to the end again, and thanked Zhao Bijia again.

"What have you heard? What do you know? Or who has been with you in the past two days?" Zhan Zhao said, "Just tell Mr. Bao. They set up such a trap... Presumably your room has been captured. The loot has been dropped."

Yan Chasan was startled, and hurried to Bao Zheng's side to talk in detail, and Mr. Gongsun, who had heard the news, also came to help him inquire. Seeing this, Zhan Zhao walked to Zhao Bijia's side.

Bai Yutang raised his eyes and heard Zhan Zhao say: "Be careful to see if there are suspicious people around, and it will be useful to write it down."

Bai Yutang didn't doubt that he was there, and stared fiercely at his surroundings. Although no one was passing by at the moment, he still didn't relax.

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Bijia walked a little further away, and asked a question that only the two of them understood.

"Is this the way you said? Yan Chasan once asked the princess to marry him. If he can't protect him, the princess will lose face?"

Zhao Bijia was a little smug just now, and she thought it was a good idea when she came up with this idea, but seeing Zhan Zhao's reaction now, she didn't feel any joy at all.

Zhan Zhao sighed, "I only now understand what the look in your eyes meant at that time."

Zhao Bijia's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and she heard Zhan Zhao say: "You are carrying the bracelet I gave you... I can't wait any longer. When this matter is over, I—"

What are you doing what are you doing! ! !

The bullet screen in Zhao Bijia's head even covered Zhan Zhao's face.

"It's time to set the meal." Yang and An interrupted their conversation, "We still have to arrange someone to deal with Tanhua's body."

The barrage was cleared in an instant, and Zhan Zhao's face was revealed again.He took a deep look at Zhao Bijia, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, which finally turned into a long sigh, "You can't wait for long." After speaking, he turned and left.

Zhao Bijia turned around and stared at Yan Chasan non-stop.

She whispered to Yang and An: "Be nice to him, eat three meals a day under my name, and then spread the news."

Yang He'an glanced at her, Zhao Bijia's face was a little hot, turned his head away from him, and said, "It's enough to spread it in the small area of ​​Kaifeng Mansion, after all, he is Master Bao's disciple and Bai Yutang's sworn brother."

Yang and An said yes, but they had such thoughts in their hearts.

What about Zhan Zhao?

"Love Enemy"...
