Sure enough, before Zhang Yanling could speak, Zhu Lin shouted loudly: "Master Min, what do you mean by this? What do you mean that I have murderous intentions? I just drank some wine and had a few words with Jianchang Hou. Mouth, then I just moved my hands. You said that I have murderous intentions, what good will it do me if I kill the Marquis of Jianchang? The status of the Marquis of Jianchang is here. If I kill him, can I expect not to be severely punished by the court law? What? Is there any deep grudge between me and the Marquis of Jianchang? Do I have to murder him? Is Mr. Min trying to forcibly accuse me?"
Min Gui sneered and said: "How do I know that there are any irreconcilable differences between you two? How do you know why you are murderous? This is exactly what I want to find out when reviewing this case."
Zhang Yanling suddenly laughed and nodded: "Master Min, I have seen Master Min's perseverance. Do you have to make this case a solid case? Hahaha, in that case, I have nothing to say. Mr. Min, I don’t want to say anything else. As the plaintiff in this case, I am sure that the dispute between Zhu Lin and me that night was just a trivial matter, and Zhu Lin’s push did not push me downstairs. I don’t want an innocent person to be wronged, so I request that the case be withdrawn. But Mr. Min insists on saying that Zhu Lin had the intention to kill, and I don’t want to argue with you. It’s up to you to punish Zhu Lin for intending to kill. , that has nothing to do with me. I will go to the palace to see the emperor and state my attitude. I will also make it clear to Duke Cheng Guo, so what happens after that has nothing to do with me. How to try it is up to the three of you. Regarding the matter of the judicial department, don’t leave it to the end. It’s me, Zhang Yanling, who insists on punishing Mr. Zhu mercilessly. Mr. Zhu, you heard what I said. It’s not that I want you to be punished, but that others refuse to let you go.”
Zhu Lin gritted his teeth and said: "Marquis Jianchang, thank you for your honest words and disregarding past grudges. This matter has nothing to do with you. Some people want to take the opportunity to punish me, and I understand it in my heart."
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "As long as you understand. My young master is a sensible person. Some people want to use the topic to their advantage and cause trouble. Hehe, I have to report this matter clearly to the emperor."
Min Gui stood there with a frown on his face, feeling a little regretful in his heart. His words and deeds were too obvious, and it seemed that Zhang Yanling already understood his intentions. If he announced that he had nothing to do with this matter, why would he punish Zhu Lin for his crime? Wouldn't it be himself? Burning yourself? Let Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu and the others hate him to the bone? This was originally a drama to provoke internal disputes among the nobles. He joined the battle group to participate in the war, but instead became the common enemy of both of them. So what else is going on? What's the point? I'm really confused.
At this time, why didn't Dai Lin and others know when to stop? Dai Lin winked at Wu Yiguan, stood up and said with a smile: "Master Min is very determined in upholding the law and punishing evil people, which is admirable. But this case is obviously not that serious. As far as I can see, Zhu Lin has no motive for trying to murder Jianchang Hou, and there is no actual action. This aspect is still open to discussion. Now that the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, everyone is happy with the case, and I can see it That’s it for now.”
Wu Yiguan also nodded and said: "I agree with Mr. Dai's opinion. I don't think Zhu Lin has any motive. He just behaved inappropriately and just gave him a reprimand and warning."
Min Gui frowned and said nothing. Dai Lin turned to Zhang Yanling and others and smiled: "Wait a moment, Mr. Min and Mr. Wu. I will go to the back hall to discuss the case and make a decision. We will be here soon."
Zhang Yanling cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please excuse me. We will just wait."
Dai Lin made a gesture to Wu Yiguan, and the two of them took Min Gui's sleeves and went to stand in the side room. Dai Lin whispered: "Master Min, in my opinion, it is best to end this matter."
.I withdrew the complaint and claimed to have made a mistake. Zhu Lin is not guilty. Even if there is any, it is just a small mistake in a street fight. Those words you said... ugh... are untenable, in case something really happens.
, is very bad..."
Min Gui glared at Dai Lin angrily and scolded: "You are just like He Xini..."
Dai Lin smiled bitterly. Wu Guanyi said hurriedly: "Master Min, Master Dai, these are pertinent words. This matter should not be continued, otherwise it will be counterproductive."
Min Gui gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Such a good opportunity ran away like this. It's really annoying."
Dai Lin said softly: "I am also very sorry, but it seems that they are aware of it. So we have to think about it in the long term. It is not advisable to act too hastily, otherwise it will cause trouble. Let's do it this way. Mr. Min won't say anything. I will go out and announce the closure of the case.
The trial is suspended. You sit here for a while and drink a cup of tea to relieve your anger."
Min Gui frowned and said nothing, and his beard trembled with anger, but he also knew that he might have to admit defeat today. Dai Lin sighed and glanced at Wu Yiguan, turned around and walked out of the side room, Wu Yiguan followed hurriedly out.
"Two princes, Mr. Zhu Xiaogong, since this case is a misunderstanding, after discussion, we believe that there is no need to continue the trial. The case has been settled here, and both parties will not be entangled in this matter in the future. What do you think?"
Dai Lin smiled and said to the people in the hall.
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "I have no problem. I wonder if Mr. Zhu is willing to stop here."
Zhu Lin hurriedly said: "If you are willing, if you are willing, then there are those who are not willing. Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings."
Dai Lin nodded and said: "Okay, Master, issue the acknowledgment document and sign it. The case is over."
The master quickly agreed and began to write the document quickly. Dai Lin turned around and continued: "Both of you, although the case has been confirmed, I would like to give you a few words of advice. Both of you are honorary nobles and honored by the emperor.
With your favor, everyone in the world takes you as an example and looks up to you. Therefore, your behavior should be in line with your status as a distinguished noble, so as not to make people laugh. Like this incident, not to mention the incident that almost caused death, just the two of you
The jealousy and quarrels in that Cuiping Tower will have a very bad impact, what will the people think?"
Zhang Heling shouted: "Hey, what are you doing? Do you want you to take care of this?"
Zhang Yanling waved his hand to stop him and said: "Brother, what Dai Yushi said is right, it is indeed a bit too much."
Dai Lin nodded and said: "I am very pleased that the Marquis of Jianchang can say this. You two are both prominent figures and talented. What kind of woman do you want? Why are you quarreling over this vulgar fan?"
Is it proper manners?"
Cuipinglou Qingguer Qiuyue, who was standing aside, rolled her eyes at Dai Lin when she heard this, and said in her heart: The old man is a prude, and he fell into my hands. The slave family wants you to know the slave family's methods, and I will keep you and the dog together every day.
The same thing is wrapped under the slave's pomegranate skirt.
The lady from Cuipinglou stopped working and said, "Sir, you just want to teach people a lesson. What are you doing with me, Qiuyue from Cuipinglou? Our Qiuyue is a famous red brand in Zhengnanfang. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why is this so?
Are you vulgar?"
Wang Jianzhi shouted: "Stop, the censor is talking, you have no right to speak. This case happened in your Cuiping Building. If we pursue the case, it will not be unfair if your building is raided."
** was so scared that she quickly shut up, but her eyes were flying around.
Dai Lin continued: "That's all. You said it's such a hot day. Mr. Min, this officer and Mr. Wu, together we are more than two hundred years old. We worry about your case. In the end, Jianchang Hou
But you withdrew the lawsuit. Aren't you taking us as a joke? No wonder Mr. Min is angry. Strictly speaking, your behavior will be punished. But both of you are respectable people, so you only gave a few warnings.
That’s all.”
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "What I'm saying is that I also regret my previous actions. I will definitely pay attention to my words and deeds in the future. But I would never dare to play tricks on the three adults. I just don't want to wrong the young master. Today, several adults and
All the brothers in front of the Yamen have been affected, and I feel uneasy in my heart. So, someday I will set up a few banquets and invite a few adults to drink with all the brothers in front of the Yamen, as a way of expressing my apology. How about that?"
Dai Lin chuckled and said: "That's not necessary, it's all official business. If the young marquis has this intention, it's enough. It's getting late. After signing the recognizance document, you can invite him back. The Ministry of Punishment
The lobby is not a good place, so I won’t keep you here.”
Zhang Yanling bowed his hand and nodded. The master took out the bond documents. After Zhang Yanling and Zhu Lin signed and stamped them, everyone said goodbye and left.
Dai Lin smiled and watched everyone leave. Looking at the noisy group of people outside the Yamen lobby, she whispered to Wu Yiguan: "Master Wu, isn't the rumored Marquis of Jianchang a domineering, vulgar and arrogant little eunuch? How did he behave today?
That's not the case. This man's words and deeds today are quite orderly and measured, and he seems to be a sensible and well-educated person. It's strange. Could it be that he changed his gender after the fall?"
Wu Guanyi stroked his beard and said: "It's indeed a bit strange. But dogs eat shit in the world, and a country's nature is easy to change but hard to change. Master Dai, just watch, in a few days, he will be like that again. I'm afraid what happened today is
They reached some kind of understanding privately, and that's why it happened."
Dai Lin nodded slowly and said: "That's all, let's go and persuade Master Min. I guess he's still angry."
Wu Guanyi nodded, and the two of them walked to the side room one after another with their hands behind their hands.
…
The carriages and horses of the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling left the lobby of the Ministry of Justice and went straight to Zhengyang Gate to go out of the outer city. When they arrived at the Zhengyang Gate Outer City Square, the Zhu family's carriages and horses galloped up from behind. Zhu Lin rode his horse to Zhang Yanling
Next to the carriage, he got off his horse and saluted Zhang Yanling, who was sitting in the carriage.
"Master Zhang, you have saved me today. I, Zhu Lin, do not owe you any favors. Tell me, what kind of reward do you want? Is it gold and silver or land? Or which of my concubines do you like? Just ask.
." Zhu Lin said loudly.
Zhang Yanling looked at Zhu Lin's dark face through the car window and said with a smile: "Young Master, what are you talking about? I don't want any compensation. I don't want anything. The Young Master was taken to the Ministry of Punishment Prison and tortured last night."
After a night of sin, it’s better to go home quickly, take a shower, change clothes and rest. It’s not worth mentioning such trivial matters.”
Zhu Lin smacked his lips and said: "Jianchang Hou, when you say that, I feel even more uneasy. Logically speaking, I almost killed you, and you have no reason to save me. Can I ask you, why are you like this? I myself
I know it was the one who caused you to fall down the stairs, so the force of my palm was quite strong."
Zhang Yanling said: "That palm is indeed very powerful, but I just want to ask you, does the young master really have the intention to kill me?"
Zhu Lin pointed to the sky and swore: "How could that happen? It was just that I was drunk at the time and got a little drunk, so I struck too hard. I regretted it afterward, fearing that something would happen to you. When I heard that you were unconscious, I was afraid
I slapped myself a few times. Then I said I was alive, and I felt more at ease. No matter what, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to kill someone in the street, would I? I swear to God, if I, Zhu Lin, had killed Jianchang
With the heart of waiting, teach me that heaven and earth will destroy me, and five thunders will strike my head."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Young Master, you don't have to swear such a poisonous oath. I think it's the same. You made the mistake unintentionally and had no intention of killing me. Then why should I hold back? There is no benefit in punishing you for me.
Although there are some conflicts between us, it is not a matter of life and death. Young Master, don’t think too much. I have been out for a while. The weather is hot and I feel a little uncomfortable, so I have to go back home. We will talk about it in the future when my injury improves.
how?"
Zhu Lin cupped his hands and nodded and said: "Okay, I won't bother you. But no matter what, I will remember this favor today and repay it later. When you recover, I will be your host. Let's get together and invite other countries."
Several young princes and marquis from the palace will accompany me. You will reward me when the time comes."
Zhang Yanling cupped her hands and said: "That's natural, I will definitely go."
Zhu Lin smiled and said: "Okay, it's settled."
Zhu Lin got on his horse, took his younger brother Zhu Feng and Chengguo Duke's entourage and galloped east back to his hometown.
