Yin Enci was supported by Lin Yanjun and Hailianying and walked slowly to the hall. Lin Tingyan was about to give up his seat when Yin Enci hurriedly waved his hand:
"Today's court is naturally handled by the regent. The Ai family just heard that someone didn't take the emperor seriously at all and dared to openly beat the imperial official. This Jingzhao Yin is a third-grade official after all, even if he committed a crime
Mistakes are also dealt with according to the court's laws, and there is an old saying that says, 'The punishment is not worthy of a high official.' Such disrespect for etiquette and law will put everyone in danger."
Lin Jinke knew that his ancestor was scolding him, so he immediately lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Jingzhao Yin gained the support of his ancestors, and his proud face gradually turned upward, but before he could express it vividly, Yin Enci's stern eyes immediately looked over: "As the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, he regards human life as nothing, and is so stupid and incompetent.
How can I eat Junlu again?"
After that, he slowly sat down and scolded Jing Zhaoyin: "Go back and reflect on yourself. If you can't understand the way of being an official, you don't need to enter the gate of the imperial court in the future."
"yes."
Jingzhao Yin bowed his hands to Yin Enci in frustration, and walked out of the door with difficulty while holding his bruised buttocks.
Yin Enci stared at the people in the hall with a heavy gaze, and then said: "The Ai family has long heard that the Tingwei Mansion today is no longer what it used to be. It is perfunctory, lazy, and lazy. You should know that in Tingwei,
In the government, an easy decision can affect several lives."
Shaking her head with ridicule, she looked at Chu Nanzhi affectionately and said earnestly: "Hu Maoxi came to Beijing a while ago, and the Ai family heard him mention an interesting story. Princess Pingning was just a common woman in the village at the time, but she
Dare to fight with him for the innocence of two insignificant men and women, Ai Jia's words of 'human life is greater than heaven' are also very thought-provoking."
"Ancestor."
When the officials in Tingwei Mansion heard this, they all knelt down in shame.
"Girl Nanzhi, come forward."
Yin Enci smiled and waved to her.
Chu Nanzhi's face turned red after being praised by her. She stepped forward cautiously, but was grabbed by Yin Enci's hand. She nodded with joy and said, "We in the Dahe Empire will not give in to women like you."
There are not many men and women, and there are only a handful of women who can care about the people, and they are righteous. Before the Ai family left the palace, the emperor had made a decision and ordered you to temporarily take over the Tingwei Mansion and take over all the affairs of the Tingwei Mansion. Do you have it?
Do you have the confidence to carry out the errands entrusted to you by the emperor?"
The meaningful look in her eyes made Chu Nanzhi feel nervous.
She knew that her ancestors and the emperor had made up their minds to thoroughly investigate the old cases. Just as she was about to answer, Lin Yanjun suddenly interjected from the side: "Ancestor, this matter"
"Shut up."
Yin Enci glared at her dissatisfiedly, and Lin Yanjun swallowed it down immediately after feeling depressed.
Yin Enci patted the back of Chu Nanzhi's hand heavily and said to everyone: "Since the founding of the Dahe Empire, our emphasis has been on meritocracy. There are not a few women who have become officials. The Ai family and the emperor believe in Ping Ning.
The princess has the ability to keep the Tingwei Mansion in order."
"What our ancestors said is true."
Lin Jinke had always wanted to make friends with Chu Nanzhi, and from her previous words, he could tell that this woman was in the same position as him. They both believed that the old Tingwei was not killed by someone in the family, so he agreed: "My brothers and sisters are talented, and they can solve cases like this."
God, if she had taken charge of Tingwei's mansion, I think I would be able to avenge Lord Tingwei as soon as possible."
"Thank you very much, King Qinghe for your praise."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Yin Enci's expectant eyes and immediately agreed: "I will live up to the trust of your majesty and ancestors, and I will definitely find out the death of Mr. Zhang."
Upon seeing this, Hailian quickly handed her the emperor's imperial decree and official seal, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Princess Pingning."
"Thank you, Mr. Hai."
Chu Nanzhi carefully took over the imperial edict and official seal. The excitement and hesitation in her heart were intertwined, making her hands tremble uncontrollably.
This feeling was even more unnerving than when I was crowned princess, as if a big mountain was pressing down on me.
For a while, the sound of congratulations could be heard in the lobby.
Seeing that everyone was trying to please her, the emotions on Lin Tingyan's face were indescribably complicated. She respected this woman, but she felt a little scared at the same time. She didn't know if she still remembered the agreement she made with her.
If she formed an alliance with King Qinghe at this time, it would be a great disadvantage to herself.
The sudden change made it difficult for him to adapt.
Staring at Chu Nanzhi attentively, Lin Tingyan congratulated her with a smile, "Princess Pingning took over the Tingwei Mansion, which can be regarded as fulfilling her wish to enter the capital. The emperor is here to congratulate you."
After finishing his words, he added with a smile: "There is a long way to go, and I hope my niece-in-law can uphold her upright style."
"The Six Emperors Uncle's teachings must be kept in mind."
Chu Nanzhi also responded with an intriguing smile.
The two looked at each other for a moment, then Lin Tingyan suddenly changed the subject and said: "I told you and Jin Shu today that the case is probably not that simple. I even suspect that Mr. Tingwei was arrested for secretly investigating the assassination of King Qinghe.
Killing people and silencing them seems very likely at the moment."
"Although Uncle Liu Huang's inference is reasonable, what matters in everything is evidence."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the Zhang family members with a solemn expression: "Although I have temporarily taken over the Tingwei Mansion according to His Majesty's order, I cannot immediately declare Qian Xiaoniang innocent. On the contrary, I am afraid that Mr. Zhang will have to suffer some hardships and go to the court."
I will stay in prison in the Wei Mansion for a while until the truth comes out, and then I can get justice for both of you."
"What does Princess Pingning mean by this?"
Mrs. Tingwei asked dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that you suspect that my Wulang would kill his biological father because he could not become an official?"
"I didn't mean that."
Chu Nanzhi explained: "It's just that all the evidence right now points to the mother and son. According to the regulations, I can only temporarily detain the mother and son."
"The common people are willing to go to jail."
Zhang Wulang didn't want his mistress to be upset by this incident again, so the beating of the Denwen drum today caused a storm in the city.
Moreover, he could also see that the new Tingweifu chosen by his ancestors was not mediocre, otherwise there would not have been so many people complimenting her. Even his father had praised this woman's talent.
Looking intently at Chu Nanzhi, Zhang Wulang said categorically: "The common people believe that Princess Pingning can bring justice to my father and my mother. As long as Princess Pingning promises that the common people will no longer torture my little mother to extract confessions, the common people will definitely comply with the princess' wishes.
I am willing to cooperate with the investigation of this case."
"Very good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled with relief: "Don't worry, I will handle this case impartially."
Looking at this docile and well-behaved husband of the Zhang family, he is not as idle and good-for-nothing as others say. At most, he has no talent.
That old Tingwei must have been an extremely harsh person.
