Lin Tingyan's charming pupils burst out with a stern look, pointed at Shao Yin and said angrily: "Tell me, what on earth have you concealed from me?"
"Your Highness, your Majesty, everything you said is true, and there is absolutely no concealment."
Shaoyin was frightened half to death by his angry rebuke, and could only lower his head and answer bitterly.
"This is quite strange."
Lin Tingyan looked at everyone and stood up slowly: "It seems that I still have to go to Jingzhao Mansion in person. It would be outrageous if the news spread that the dignified Jingzhao Mansion was beaten to death by Jin Ke."
After that, he bid farewell to everyone and left in a hurry with Shao Yin.
In the living room, Chu Nanzhi, Lin Jinshu, and Nie Huaian looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts.
"Nan Zhi, what do you think of this matter?"
Nie Huaian asked her hesitantly.
"What do Princess and Mr. Nie think of what Uncle Sixth Emperor said just now?"
Chu Nanzhi did not rush to answer, but asked back.
Lin Jinshu narrowed his eyes and replied: "Uncle Sixth Emperor now wants to secure his position as regent, so naturally he is unwilling to stir up trouble. I'm afraid he would rather believe the conclusions of Jingzhao Mansion and Tingwei Mansion, thinking that it was Qian Xiaoniang who did it.
.”
"If it was Miss Qian who did it, why would Madam Zhang's family go and beat the drum?"
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Such extreme behavior is obviously determined to avenge Miss Qian."
After thinking about it, she looked at Lin Jinshu and Nie Huaian intently, and discussed: "I want to go to the palace to meet my ancestors."
This old man has a calm mind, and the emperor's decision may not be what his ancestors meant.
As a criminal police officer, she has always adhered to her professional bottom line, hoping to restore the truth and bring the criminals to justice.
But after experiencing Ji Wanying's incident, she gradually understood the truth that some things should not be taken too casually, and could only be dealt with slowly.
Especially after becoming Lin Jinxiao's princess, she knew that her current responsibility was not only to redress the injustice of others, but also to take a longer-term view.
Lin Jinshu looked at her slightly swollen belly and said with some worry: "It's freezing cold, and there are several layers of snow on the road. You are pregnant, so you might as well wait until the weather clears before entering the palace."
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Nanzhi stood up with a smile: "Moving around properly is also beneficial to the health of the fetus. It just so happens that we can stop by Jingzhao Mansion to see the excitement."
The King of Qinghe really lived up to his reputation and was cruel and cruel. Even though the governor of Jingzhao had misjudged and misjudged, he was a third-rank official of the imperial court, and he actually directly resorted to lynching. What she had seen and heard these days seemed to make her dissatisfied with this man.
The world has lost its confidence.
It's no wonder that Lin Jinxiao doesn't want to become an official in Beijing.
Nie Huai'an understood the student's temperament. This girl always liked to investigate cases. She would not stop her even if she had free time in the house. She just told Lin Jinshu, "I hope the princess will take more care of your sister-in-law."
"Don't worry, Mr. Nie, I will follow Mrs. Wang every step of the way."
Lin Jinshu promised swornly.
Nie Huaian felt relieved.
Before leaving the house, Chu Nanzhi was still thinking about Chang Lao's health, so she specifically asked Liu Yun to cook some dishes and make fish soup, and then left the house with Lin Jinshu.
On the way to Jingzhaofu, the snow had already been compacted by the passing pedestrians, carriages and horses, and from time to time the crisp sound of wheels rolling on the ground could be heard.
Sang Qi drove the carriage carefully, while Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu were sitting in the carriage, each holding a stove and quietly thinking about the case of Tingwei Mansion.
Seeing that they were approaching Jingzhao Mansion, Chu Nanzhi suddenly raised his head and asked her: "If Jingling City cannot avoid a bloody storm, how sure is Princess Shu of quelling the war?"
Lin Jinshu sighed weakly: "I won't lie in front of you, I'm afraid I don't have much chance of winning."
Staring at Chu Nanzhi quietly, Lin Jinshu said with a bitter look on his face: "It is said that the three major battalions of the capital have no less than 200,000 troops, but those are just numbers on the books, and they are still the organizational structure in the early days of the founding of the dynasty. These
No fewer than 20 guards were transferred out from the border garrison every year, but they have not been supplemented. Now the three battalions can mobilize only 30,000 to 20,000 troops. Adding the Jinwu Guard, Yulin Guard, and North and South Guards in the city, the number of available men is at most
Fifty thousand people.”
"I'm afraid many of them are confidants of the Queen Mother and Jingling's old party, right?"
Chu Nanzhi grinned meaningfully.
"good."
Lin Jinshu nodded sadly: "This is why our ancestors were full of scruples about Lao Tingwei's death and did not dare to conduct a thorough investigation immediately."
"But I don't think it was King Qinghe who did this."
Chu Nanzhi analyzed meticulously: "If he wants to use what happened back then to cause trouble, he should help Mr. Zhang thoroughly investigate the old case, so that he can enter the city under the banner of Qingjun to avenge his dead father, and he will never assassinate Mr. Tingwei.
, in contrast, what he did today seems to be his true intention."
"Too."
Lin Jinshu frowned and nodded: "Zhang Mansion has no friendship with him. Even if I, the king, are obsessed with sex, I will never protect an old and lustful woman."
"It's easy to hide from an open gun and hard to guard against a hidden arrow. The ambition of King Qinghe's wolf son can be guarded against if it is revealed, but the person hiding behind it is the most terrifying."
Chu Nan Zhi thought thoughtfully and said: "Now the brothers of the Ji family are out in Langzhou, your brother Wang is gradually becoming more and more powerful in Pingningzhou, and His Majesty's dragon body is also recovering. I'm afraid there are already people who can't stand it anymore and are ready to take action. The princess will definitely
We must take precautions in advance. If Lord Tingwei's case really involves old events, when the truth comes to light, no one will do anything reckless."
"Don't worry, Sister-in-law Wang, there won't be any chaos in Jingling City with me."
Lin Jinshu patted his chest, looking confident.
This immediately made Chu Nanzhi feel much more at ease.
Princess Shu has never disappointed anyone. With her by my side, I feel like I have taken reassurance.
With her promise, Chu Nanzhi became much more determined to investigate this case thoroughly.
The two arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they heard a heated quarrel coming from the mansion.
When the officers saw that Princess Shu and Princess Ping Ning were coming, they eagerly came forward and led them into the house.
Jingzhao Mansion was crowded with people at this time. Lin Tingyan was sitting above the government office, listening to everyone's arguments calmly. It wasn't until he saw Chu Nanzhi that he showed a faint smile: "I guess
My niece-in-law and Jinshu will not miss such a lively occasion."
An official wearing a purple robe in the hall was beaten to pieces. When he heard that Princess Shu was coming, he immediately knelt down in front of her and begged her bitterly: "Your Highness, you must make the decision for me. I have been ordered to resolve the case and arrest you."
The real culprit was severely beaten by King Qinghe, so he was really unjustly convicted."
"Are you really wronged?"
Lin Jinshu lowered his head and glanced at Jing Zhaoyin unhappily, his intimidating eyes showing no anger or intimidation.
Lin Jinke slowly straightened up, looked at Chu Nanzhi who had just come in, blinked with a smile, then turned to Jing Zhaoyin and became irritable and uneasy and cursed: "You are such a dog official, the matter of human life is only dependent on you."
I put an end to these lies after just a few words. I am extremely merciful by not taking your life today. How dare you complain in front of Princess Shu?"
After saying that, he drew his sword and prepared to attack him.
"Brother Wang, you are not afraid to argue if you are right. Even if he misjudges and misjudges, he should be punished by the court. Has Brother Wang ever put His Majesty in the eyes of your Majesty?"
Lin Jinshu's tepid question made Lin Jinke's sword-holding hand tremble, and he hesitantly put away his sword.
