Mrs. Liu cursed Lin Qingxue and felt dizzy again. Shen Wan helped her lie down and comforted her before leaving with Song Ziling.
After dinner, Shen Wan started to look through the files again, and she actually found a similar case late at night.
The identity of the murderer was no ordinary person, but the late emperor's sister, Her Royal Highness Princess Changchao Hua.
Moreover, this happened forty years ago.
Princess Chaohua was only fifteen years old at the time. When she went out to play in the palace and ditched her guards, she was blocked by a blind man and robbed her.
Princess Chaohua had practiced martial arts since she was a child and was not a vegetarian. She immediately took out a self-defense dagger and killed the blind man.
Afterwards, the family members of the blind Liu went to the Fuyin Yamen. The Yamen not only acquitted Princess Chaohua, but also said that the blind Liu died innocently, and kicked the family members out of the Yamen.
Although one is robbery and the other is threatening and extorting, they all have something in common, that is, they are all related to money.
Moreover, both Blind Liu and Zhou Yu were committing crimes and violated the laws of the Dongchen Kingdom.
After finding this case, Shen Wan felt reassured.
The emperor committed the same crime as the common people. When the time comes, all we need to prove is that Zhou Yu was indeed threatening and blackmailing Song Ziyu. If we use this precedent as an argument, maybe Song Ziyu can be acquitted like the eldest princess of Chaohua.
"Ah..." Shen Wan stretched out and breathed a sigh of relief.
After finding a way to solve Song Ziyu's case, Shen Wan had a good sleep peacefully.
The next day, Song Heng wore court clothes and rode outside the palace gate.
The ministers who stared at the palace door opening and then entering the palace saw him coming and all looked at him.
Several generals looked worried, those who had trouble dealing with Song Heng looked gleeful, and some ministers looked like they were waiting to watch the show.
Song Heng dismounted expressionlessly, threw the reins to the soldiers guarding the palace gate, and walked towards the ministers waiting at the palace gate.
"Brother-in-law."
Shen Ming called him worriedly.
Song Heng walked up to him and whispered to him: "No matter what happens in the court later, don't speak out, lest you be implicated."
Shen Ming: "I..." Song Heng interrupted him and said solemnly: "You don't know, did you hear it?"
If those imperial officials knew that Shen Ming also knew about it, they would definitely impeach him. It would be better for him to pretend not to know.
"Crunch..." Shen Ming wanted to say something, but at this moment the palace door opened, and Song Heng walked into the palace without giving him a chance to speak.
Towards the end of the court, Song Heng was unexpectedly impeached.
"Your Majesty, Song Heng, the great general who governs the country, has not been strict with his daughter, allowed her to kill someone, and also knowingly violated the law to cover up his daughter's crime. He is really contemptuous of the law and the emperor.
The influence among the people is extremely bad, the emperor must severely punish Song Heng, the general who governs the country, and give an explanation to the world."
The person who stood up to impeach Song Heng was the imperial censor. After he finished speaking, many officials and ministers stood up to second his opinion.
"Your Majesty, the people in the city are discussing this matter, saying that the powerful did not take the lives of the common people as their fate, so they killed a common man and covered up the matter by destroying the body and destroying the traces, which has aroused public resentment.
Song Heng, the general who governs the country, as a first-class general, is supposed to abide by the law and set an example for civil and military officials, but he knows the law and breaks the law. If he is not severely punished, there will be no resentment among the people."
"Yes, Your Majesty, General Song Heng must be severely punished!"
"Please, Your Majesty, severely punish the great general Song Heng."
Hearing the words of the censor impeaching his brother-in-law, Shen Ming bit his lower lip anxiously and wanted to open his mouth to speak for his brother-in-law, but saw his brother-in-law looked at him and shook his head.
Xuanyuan Liuyun also looked at Song Heng with a worried look on his face. Judging from the appearance of the imperial censor and the others, they wanted to impeach General Song so that he would lose his official position!
