That's why when facing Lu Sen's question, she could only face Mrs. Qiao's hateful eyes and raised her head tremblingly: "My lord... I agree."
Although Ji Kuan was early One step back to the palace, Tongguang was one step behind, but not much slower.
In the Wenhua Hall, Li Shougang told Meng Renping and Ji Kuan that Emperor Zong had approved Qiao Qiancheng's memorial and would return to Beijing soon.
Tongguang returned to the palace and went to the Wenhua Palace to recover his life, then returned to the East Palace. There were only three people left in the palace, and Chang Qing, who was accompanying him.
"The urgent letter from Eight Hundred Miles Away arrived first, and the excerpt for returning to Beijing arrived later. There was only half an hour in between." Li Shou guessed that the letter and the excerpt set off at the same time, but were missed by Qiao Qian Cheng arranged for them to enter the palace one after the other.
"The people who delivered the goods were not the messengers at the post station, but the soldiers under General Qiao." Meng Renping added.
Ji Kuan thought that His Highness and Chi Nan specially emphasized these two points with him, and there must be some meaning, but he thought about it again and again, but could not come up with any meaning: "When will General Qiao enter at the earliest?" Beijing?”
Meng Renping was helpless because Ji Kuan could not think of it, so he just ignored it and said, "You should ask, when is the slowest time for General Qiao to enter Beijing."
"When is the slowest time for General Qiao to enter Beijing?" Jing? "Ji Kuan is good at what he does.
"The slowest is the day after tomorrow." Meng Renping replied, "The fastest is tomorrow."
Ji Kuan calculated the distance between the capital and Lingnan, and calculated the fastest horse speed. He finally discovered a problem: "He couldn't have set off at the same time as the person who delivered the letters and documents, right?"
"Not really." Li Shou shook his head, "He should have set out half a day after the soldiers set out."
Ji Kuan was not at all aware of it. It's not surprising that His Highness can speak in such detail. After all, in Lingnan, there are also ears and eyes from the East Palace: "By biting it so tightly, he is sure that His Majesty will approve it?"
"Father, sincerely He came to show sympathy to the soldiers on the frontier. Qiao Qiancheng lost his children twice, and now everything is well in Lingnan, so there is no reason to refuse his request." Li Shou told the truth.
Meng Renping pointed out Qiao Qiancheng's guilt of leaving the place where he was guarding without permission: "My son is gone, my daughter is gone, and I feel so sad that I want to return home. I committed a crime in a moment." Confused, understandable.”
"Does Your Majesty know?" Ji Kuan still had to ask.
“I just don’t know right now. When General Qiao comes to Beijing, we will calculate the time and we will know.” Meng Renping replied.
Ji Kuan said oh and turned to Li Shou: "Then your highness wants to protect General Qiao?"
One of the generals left his post without authorization for personal reasons and was not summoned back to the capital. No matter how sentimental he is, Ke Yuan also received the decree of replenishment, and his guilt was not light.
"General Zhennan is a rare military commander. He cherishes his talent alone." Li Shou indeed had this intention.
Ji Kuan wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by the report coming from the door of the palace.
"Commander." It is Bai Zhuo, the guard of the East Palace, who is Ji Kuan's subordinate.
Ji Kuan walked to the palace gate: "What's the matter?"
Bai Zhuo handed the flying pigeon letter to him with both hands: "News just arrived."
Ji Kuan Taking the bamboo tube as small as a thin tube, he pulled out the paper inside, rolled out the rice paper rolled into a thin tube, and scanned the content on it. He turned around and walked quickly into the palace: "Your Highness, something happened to Tu Qian in Lueyang." ! ”
Mrs. Qiao could no longer suppress Cui Liu, nor could she frighten Cui Liu away from her determination to reveal all the truth. As Lu Sen conducted in-depth interrogation sentence after sentence, Qiao Sang's death soon came to light in court. Lu Sen closed the case and sentenced Mrs. Qiao's accusation in court. Qiao Sang's death was purely accidental and had nothing to do with Xi Yanjuan.
Xi Yanchuan was cleared of all charges in court. She did not have the guts to sue Mrs. Qiao for falsely accusing her. She just thanked Lu Sen with tears of joy.
Others in the hall could not say anything unless they were parties involved.
The second wife Qiao failed in her lawsuit, claiming that she did not know the inside story, and pretended to be sorry for Xi Yanjuan. Xi Yanjuan lowered her eyes and ignored her at all, and she didn't care either. That’s all.
Afterwards, she quickly left Jingya.
Lu Sen is the father-in-law. Mrs. Qiao wants Xi Yanchuan’s life to take Qiao Sang’s life. He sees clearly the whole process, but even the defendant does not want to turn into the plaintiff, so the case is just If you can end it here, let the rest go.
In this way, he is more relaxed.
If Xi Yanjuan really wants to sue Mrs. Qiao in turn, he will have to go to court tomorrow and sue her back and forth. As long as the Meng family doesn't get involved, he actually doesn't care.
Jingya accepts many cases of injustice in various parts of the Wei Dynasty every year. As the chief official, it is his duty to adjudicate cases.
Therefore, if Xi Yanwen wants to sue Mrs. Qiao, he can continue to go to court, but when Qiao Qiancheng returns to Beijing for trial, he will have to deal with Qiao Qiancheng.
To be honest, when he rarely interacted with Qiao Qiancheng, he only had a few interactions, which made him feel that Qiao Qiancheng and Zhu Xiye might be long-lost biological brothers, with the same Jiaozhugu Se, as stubborn as a cow.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel lucky that Xi Yanjuan didn't want to sue.
Meng Shisan promised that Cuiliu would save her life, so after the truth came out and witnessed by Lu Sen, she bought Cuiliu's family of three in court.
Mrs. Qiao Er disagreed at first, but under Lu Sen’s pressure and after she vaguely mentioned that she hadn’t settled the blame for Qiao Sang knocking her off the bridge, Mrs. Qiao Er didn’t think so. Nodding is no longer enough.
After walking out of the capital office, Meng Shisan asked Kite, who had returned from Quexian Tower, to follow Mrs. Qiao to Qiao's Mansion: "Go and take Cuiliu's wife out of Qiao's Mansion. The three members of Cuiliu's family have a bond, and don't forget to follow her." Mrs. Qiao took the orb and gave the silver note to Kite. "No." Kite remembered.
Baozhu handed the silver note with a face value of one hundred taels to Kite.
The body deed of Cuiliu's family is not a death deed for the children of the Qiao family, but a contract signed by Cuiliu's parents when Cuiliu was young and sold themselves into slavery due to difficulties in making a living. It is a living contract with a limited number of years.
This was also one of the reasons why Mrs. Qiao did not kill Cui Liu immediately and was determined to silence Cui Liu.
As for the three people selling it to Meng Shisan for 100 taels, this was because Mrs. Qiao Er was pressured by Lu Sen and Meng Shisan from both sides. She really had to sell and angrily raised the price. Meng Shisan did not ask Qiao Er either. The wife bargained and happily settled the deal with the one hundred taels that Mrs. Qiao Er said.
When Mrs. Qiao Er faced Meng Shisan, she ordered Kite to immediately follow her to pick up the person, and even handed over the money with one hand and the contract with the other. Although she was not angry, she was witnessed by Lu Sen in court. She was Not even a chance to regret it!
With a cold snort at the end, she got on the Qiao Mansion's car with an ugly expression.
Kite jumped into the car unceremoniously and sat with the driver of Qiao Mansion.
When Mrs. Qiao saw this, she was so angry that she slapped her palm on the wall of the car angrily: "This is too much!"
To say that bullying is too much, the second wife of the Qiao family, in order to cover up her fault of not taking good care of her niece, forced the innocent Miss Xi to die. This is the real bullying.
