Then he saw that everyone around him was looking over, and he couldn't help but said in shame: "...Don't talk nonsense!"
The waiter laughed twice and said nothing more.
Naturally, it was difficult for the man to say the rest of his words, so he could only stand there and shut his mouth with an ugly face.
In the hall, Xia Han was calmly denying: "Master Ji, I have no idea about this matter at all, and I have never said such ridiculous things."
This answer was within everyone's expectations.
Ji Dong looked at Xu Ying: "I wonder if Miss Xu has any other evidence?"
The so-called "he personally admitted it" has no meaning at all.
Xu Ying said in a condensing voice: "The civilian girl has evidence!"
When she was about to continue speaking, she suddenly heard a commotion from the crowd behind her.
"Look...it seems someone is coming from the palace!"
After everyone heard this, they moved to both sides to get out of the way.
Ji Dong also stood up.
Why did someone suddenly come to the palace at this time?
He had never received any news before.
Looking at Xia Han in the hall, Ji Dong's mood suddenly became complicated.
Could it be that the emperor and Xia Shoufu felt that he, the governor of the capital, was too indifferent and sent someone to keep an eye on him and handle the case?
If this is the case, the emperor thinks too highly of him...
The crowd made a way, a few imperial soldiers opened the way, and a group of eunuchs entered the hall.
Seeing clearly that the leader was actually Li Ji, Ji Dong's expression changed slightly.
Li Ji is the chief eunuch, the emperor's most trusted confidant in the palace. When all the civil and military officials see this person, no matter how much they despise him secretly as a eunuch, they still have to politely call him "Ji Gong" on the surface.
”.
"Our family is here to observe the review of this case, following the emperor's instructions."
Li Ji smiled slightly and bowed his head to the side, his slightly hoarse voice sobering.
Ji Dong raised his hand to salute and ordered the yamen servant to bring a chair and place it behind the case.
Li Ji had no intention of overstepping his bounds. He just sat aside and said to Ji Dong with a smile: "Master Ji just handles the case in accordance with the rules. We just want to listen."
Ji Dong nodded politely.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on my back.
He said he wanted to listen, but the other person was sitting here, which was the largest Buddha. He had to think carefully about every word he said. If he was not careful, he might step on the tip of a knife.
The enthusiasm in the crowd rose again.
People from the palace come to listen, this is usually a big case that will be heard by the three divisions!
It seems that the case of Young Master Xia has completely alarmed the Emperor.
Gee, they say that Xia Shoufu is the most popular person before the emperor - the treatment of this young master of the Xia family is indeed particularly different.
Listening to the low voices around him, the waiter sighed with emotion in his heart.
Hey, it’s not good to be too well-informed. It looks lively but there aren’t many surprises.
But it must be a bit interesting to see with your own eyes the reaction of the second son of the Xia family.
Xia Han was also a little surprised at this time.
He never thought that Li Ji would come.
Could this be what the father meant?
Fengtian Palace was hit by thunder and fire last night, and my father stayed in the palace all night without returning...
It is said that there is no suspense in the retrial of his case. When the retrial is over, he can be restored to innocence. Why should his father go to such trouble to get the emperor to come forward for this?
Things don't seem that simple...
Could it be that something unexpected happened without him knowing?
Xia Han frowned quickly.
Even if something unexpected happened, my father, who had been prepared for it for a long time, must have noticed it.
My father will not let the situation get worse. With his father behind his back, it is impossible for today's review to reveal anything.
No matter who is behind the scenes, in the end, it is the Xia family that has the final say in this capital.
Thinking like this, the slight fluctuation in Xia Han's heart quickly calmed down.
"Miss Xu, please explain carefully the evidence regarding your sister's disappearance." Ji Dong looked at Xu Ying again.
This time when he asked the question, he felt relatively weak.
If Miss Xu really gave out too strong evidence, he didn't know how the situation would be resolved.
Is it easy to be an official in the capital?
etc--
Why did Miss Xu, who has always been strong, suddenly shed tears?
Could it be that... I feel that there is no hope at all because of the people coming from the palace?
Ji Dong sighed repeatedly in his heart.
Xu Ying shed tears and knocked her head on the ground.
"My lord, last night Minnu dreamed of her sister." The woman's voice was hoarse and trembling: "My sister gave Minnu a dream. She told Minnu that Xia Han kidnapped her three years ago and tortured her before taking her away.
Her life!"
Xia Han felt a little incredible.
——Dream?
Is Xu Ying crazy?
The people watching also had strange expressions on their faces.
Is this Miss Xu really crazy?
It's a bit too far-fetched to think that dreams can be used as evidence.
"She also told Min Nu that after Xia Han killed her, he used magic to trap her soul so that she could not be reincarnated..." Xu Ying raised her head and looked straight at Xia Han with her eyes.
He said in a flurry of words: "She told me to seek justice for her and bring her bones back for burial."
After she said this, she clearly saw a change in Xia Han's eyes.
Under the attention of everyone, she continued: "My sister's body is hidden in his courtyard, under the rockery in the garden!"
Xia Han suddenly clenched his fingers.
Li Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise.
It seems that even if you don’t believe it, you can’t do it.
Xu Ying faced Ji Dong, kowtowed again, and said loudly: "Whether Min Nu's words are true or false? Is the disappearance of Min Nu's sister related to the second son of the Xia family? Your Excellency asked people to go to Xia Mansion to tell what Min Nu said.
You’ll know where it’s at once you dig it!”
"this……"
Ji Dong looked complicated and didn't know how to answer the question.
It’s not that you can’t dig it…
But Miss Xu could at least give a decent excuse, even if she pretended that someone had seen it. After all, dreaming or something is really unconvincing.
To be honest, being a human being means thinking about things day by day and dreaming about things at night. I think that before he entered Beijing to take the imperial examination, he would often dream about his ancestors telling him where the gold was buried in his ancestral home——
He dug again and again, but when he saw that if he kept digging he would have no place to live, and his wife was so angry that she wanted to take her children back to her parents' home. The separation of his wife and children was just around the corner, so he could only make up his mind not to believe this kind of thing anymore, and since then
After that, I never had that kind of dream again.
Just thinking of these, Ji Dong couldn't convince himself to nod.
What's more, that is the residence of the chief minister of the dynasty, how can we just dig it up?
Besides, there was someone sitting next to him.
Not only Ji Dong, but also many of the people watching thought this was too ridiculous.
But I have to say that the more absurd and mysterious something sounds, the more people can't help but want to explore it.
Therefore, the people said on their lips, "How can you believe such words?" But deep down in their hearts, they were eager to "dig, dig, dig, dig, dig, show us."
Xia Han looked at Li Ji.
At this time, all it takes is one word from Li Ji and there will be no more controversy.
