Dong Gui saw hope that the family would not be ruined at his hands.
"Tomorrow, forget everything you said to the officials of the Division of Justice. This way there will be room for relaxation between us and the Prince Regent's family. It will be good for you, father, and the family." He advised his daughter.
Dong Jin rubbed his right temple and said: "Father, why did the Senate ask the master to give the child a blessing? Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"That's what I went to the Senate to ask for."
"No!" Dong Jin interrupted his father, "The Senate has many ways to deal with this matter. Why should we use such extreme measures for the sake of the small Dong family? Can't you see clearly what's behind this?"
"What do you know?" Dong Gui stared into her daughter's eyes.
"My child can't say that." Dong Jin lowered his head, "Anyway, with the help of noble people, everything my child does is for the sake of the family."
Dong Gui was silent and sat there for a long time.
"You, you, how dare you make your own decisions?" His voice was low, "How can we afford to offend that young Dian Tong? No matter how great the nobleman is, he can't protect the Dong family!"
Dong Jin knelt in front of her father, raised her head and said, "My dear, dare to say a few words.
The current king's position is unfair, his bloodline is in doubt, and his pro-government is far away;
The Prince Regent was partial to the law, nepotistic, ignorant, and broke the rules;
Many important officials in the imperial court are already dissatisfied, and the Shaodian clan cannot sit idly by as the capital may undergo major changes.
The Dong family cannot always count on being secretly funded, and the future of our second brother must be fought for by ourselves!"
She did not say that she was helping Tantai Xiu to work for Ding Kui. Although she had not received professional training, she knew that keeping secrets was the highest principle.
"Bold!" Dong Gui stood up, looking outside the house.
"How can you say these nonsense!" He lowered his voice and said, "A father would not dare to discuss such important national affairs, but you only know so much and dare to participate in it. Who instigated you? Is it that boy Tantai Xiu?
"
"The child has his own ideas." Dong Jin pointed to his head, "Brother Xiu is also much more mature than before. Some things have to be done by us young people. You are the pillar of the family and you are definitely not suitable for taking risks. The child can leave the family.
, it won’t hurt the family.”
These words touched Dong Gui.
Who hasn’t been impulsive when they were young? I think back then he almost realized his dream of joining the army.
"My father just wants you to marry a good family and live a stable life. If you can, I will help your brother. I don't expect you to revitalize the family.
Look at what you did and how much trouble you caused to the family. Now you have a noble person to help you, but what about in the future? Can the noble person help you for the rest of your life?" His tone softened.
Suddenly, the housekeeper ran over in a hurry.
"Master, master, someone has sent a box of gold coins!"
"Ah! Who sent it?" Dong Gui pulled her daughter up.
"I don't know, little one, but the person who came left the box and left." The housekeeper sweated on his forehead.
"Let's go and have a look."
Dong Jin was curious and followed his father to check.
There is a box full of gold coins from the State of Lu, roughly estimated to be five to six thousand, which is a huge sum for the Dong family.
Dong Gui looked at the gold coins and then at his daughter, thoughtfully, "No one is allowed to talk about the gold coins, Dong Jin, come back to the study with me." He immediately gave the silence order.
"Is this the money you want?" He closed the study door tightly before turning back to ask his daughter.
"No!" Dong Jin shook his head fiercely, "My child has never mentioned money."
Dong Gui asked: "Tell me honestly, did you suffer any loss that night?"
"You should be able to guess it even if I don't tell you."
"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Dong Gui walked around in circles excitedly, "That noble man values you very much and is generous with his actions. He is not the kind of person who abandons his subordinates at will. At least he is more reliable than the indigenous nobles."
He not only valued money, but also valued the protection of his daughter. From the calculation that Shaodian Tong did not sacrifice his daughter, to the senate sending people to the house to confront the city defense army, and then to Elder Long coming forward to invite the master of the Magic Association, all of them were used in one
On a chess piece that looks like it can be discarded.
"Have you forgiven your daughter?" Dong Jin's eyes were moist.
"Tell me before you take risks next time, you can't expect good luck every time." Dong Gui hugged her daughter gently.
"..."
The trial was about to start, Cui Shuo came to Dong's house again, asked Dong Jin to confirm his testimony, and asked Dong Jin to sign it.
"Miss Dong, I didn't mean to embarrass you. Now Shaodian Tong insists that he was unconscious that night and did not commit violence against you and Bing Lulu. We need more evidence to prove him, so can you tell us about his characteristics?"
Seeing that Dong Jin was emotionally stable, he asked for more details.
Dong Jin burst into tears immediately, and with Cui Shuo's hurried efforts to comfort him, he reluctantly recounted a few of Shaodian Tong's physical characteristics.
"That's enough! Thank you for your cooperation." Cui Shuo got what he wanted and left quickly.
This type of testimony is very useful in violence cases and is a powerful piece of evidence in the absence of ice.
As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Legal Affairs, he was called to the Baotu room. "The Intelligence Department traced a group of people of unknown origins who left the capital from the south gate on the day Binglulu disappeared. It is suspected that external forces were involved in the case." Bao said.
Figure takes out a document.
"This, it's difficult to determine its authenticity." Cui Shuo flipped through the documents, "How can we prove that it is an external force since its origin is unknown?"
"The Prince Regent came to see me today. He was very dissatisfied with your suspicions and asked the clan government to participate in the trial of the case." Bao Tu was put under pressure by Shaodian.
"Isn't this an obvious attempt to protect Shaodian Tong? You can tell the clan government's attitude just by looking at the attitude of the Intelligence Department. How can we try this case if they are involved?" Cui Shuo became anxious.
"Well, Shaodian Tong is a member of the royal family. His Royal Highness the Prince has the right to order the royal family to participate in the joint trial. I am powerless to stop it because of the royal power." Bao Tu had no choice.
The power of the Prince Regent is equivalent to that of the King to a certain extent. If he intends to intervene in a certain case, the Ministry of Legal Affairs can only accept it, and there is no legal limit.
"This case also involves nobles. Can the Senate also participate in the trial?" Cui Shuo simply made the situation more complicated.
The trial of the Shaodian Bronze Case, which caused a sensation in the capital recently, has finally begun. However, Si Lv Si did not choose to have a public trial, but held a secret trial in three chambers.
The so-called "three halls" are the Government Affairs Council, the Imperial Family Office and the Senate, the three major official institutions that jointly review cases.
"Can I go and have a look?" Shao Dianluan was bored and bored at home.
"Are you kidding? Shaodian will definitely pay attention to the trial process. Are we sending him here to arrest him in vain? And you won't be happy after seeing it." Ding Kui seemed to be able to guess the outcome of the trial.
"Why?" Shaodianluan couldn't guess.
"The clan government participated in the trial to help Shaodian Tong clear his name. In fact, Shaodian Tong did not touch Dongjin and Binglulu. Si Lvji did not have enough evidence to accuse Shaodian Tong."
"I just want to see how embarrassed he is."
"He has to pretend to be alright in this situation."
