"General Chu, there is another case that needs to be dealt with by the lower officials, which was personally instructed by the emperor, and the case of the Xie family will be handed over to the general." Zhang Song euphemistically pushed the matter to Chu Nanyue.

"Okay, if Lord Zhang trusts me, I'll be in charge of this." Chu Nanyue didn't excuse herself, but took it quickly.

Zhang Song dealt with her and Xie Yinhua's case last time, and he must have been afraid that Xie Yinhua would hate him because of these three things.

The Xie family is the queen's own family, and they have a close relationship with each family and are extremely powerful.

Zhang Song came to the capital to be an official, so naturally he didn't dare to really offend the famous Xie family.

"Thank you General Chu for your help." Zhang Song said gratefully.

Chu Nanyue waved her hand indifferently: "Master Zhang doesn't need to say much, I just want to do something for the maid's family." ”

Chu Nanyue knew that this was not a good errand, Xie Yinhua was already hostile to herself, if she took this case, Xie Yinhua was afraid that she would hate herself even more.

However, what Chu Nanyue decided to take was the relatives of the dead maid.

They have nothing to rely on, and if there is really no one to say a word for them, they may really die on the streets and no one cares.

Chu Nanyue took pity on such a suffering person, and knew that if a person died in vain and did not let the Xie family give an explanation, the high-ranking families in the capital would take this as an example.

If you don't care about human life, what will you do in the future?

Chu Nanyue was asking Qingshuang to take the officials to the Xie family to summon Xie Yinhua, when he saw Dongling Shuo walking in.

Chu Nanyue couldn't help frowning: "Sixth Highness, why are you here?" ”

"Didn't you say today that there was a new case? I heard that Zhang Song is busy with other things, and you are the only one here. Tanglin Shuo said.

Chu Nanyue looked at him with such a relaxed expression, most likely because he didn't know that this was about Xie Yinhua.

She remembered the relationship between the Xie family and Tanglin Shuo, and finally reminded her: "Sixth Highness, today is a matter of the Xie family, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the Sixth Highness, it is better for His Highness to avoid it earlier." ”

Tanglin Shuo's face froze, obviously not expecting that it would be related to the Xie family.

But he has always hated the Xie family for becoming arrogant day by day by virtue of their relationship with himself and his mother, so he said: "It's okay, I only talk about business today, not to mention that General Chu is in charge, and I will only help on the side." ”

Seeing that Dongling Shuo's attitude was resolute, Chu Nanyue had no choice but to agree.

Chu Nanyue sat in the hall, and the maid's parents were already kneeling there, crying miserably.

She waited for a long time, but before she saw Xie Yinhua being brought over by Qingshuang, she sent someone to summon her again.

"General, the people of the Xie family are not allowed to enter, we can't help it." The officials are embarrassed.

Chu Nanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and said calmly: "Take my personal soldiers and go for another run." I only said to the Xie family that this matter has not yet made a big trouble, if the Xie family does not know what to do, everyone must know about it, and it is the Xie family who suffers. ”

The official went to the Xie family to say this, and the Xie family really gave in and asked Qingshuang to bring Xie Yinhua over.

Xie Yinhua walked into the hall and saw Chu Nanyue sitting there, accompanied by Donglin Shuo, and couldn't help but feel sour.

"How are you?" Xie Yinhua sneered, "What about Lord Zhang? ”

"The emperor has already granted Zhang Song's request, and I occasionally try cases in the yamen." Chu Nanyue looked at Xie Yinhua under the hall.

Knowing Chu Nanyue's intentions today, Xie Yinhua was not afraid, she killed her own maid with a cane, although she was too loud and spread the matter, but what could she Chu Nanyue do with her?

So Xie Yinhua stood up straight, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Nanyue with contempt.

"Green Frost." Chu Nanyue just shouted lightly.

Qingshuang had already understood what she meant, and stepped forward to press Xie Yinhua down with brute force.

"Bold! You have the general in front of you, and you still don't salute the general? Qingshuang shouted.

Chu Nanyue is a noble product with a formal official position and power. And Xie Yinhua, except for the identity of the Xie family's daughter-in-law, there is nothing special.

Speaking of which, it is necessary to salute Chu Nanyue. In the past, Chu Nanyue didn't care, but today Chu Nanyue is sitting in the hall, and the rules of the trial cannot be broken.

Xie Yinhua was forced to kneel, and his body was still struggling.

Chu Nanyue was shocked and said, "Your family is convinced, the maid made a big mistake, and you killed the person with a cane in a fit of anger, may I ask what is the fault, and is it to the point where you have to kill it?" ”

Xie Yinhua heard this, but his eyes were full of affection, and he looked towards Tanglin Shuo.

"That dropped the jade pendant given to me by His Royal Highness the Sixth, isn't this alone enough for me to execute her?" Xie Yinhua's eyes were slightly red.

Chu Nanyue also looked at Dongling Shuo, but Dongling Shuo frowned and said, "What jade pendant?" ”

In his impression, he never gave Xie Yinhua anything, let alone this kind of jade pendant with meaning.

Xie Yinhua blushed and said, "It was my birthday when I was ten years old, and the queen mother gave it to me personally, saying that it was given by you, and there are patterns of my zodiac on it." ”

Hearing this, Tanglin Shuo remembered. It was not a gift from him, but the queen said that they had always been close, and it was not rude to give a gift.

Donglin Shuo was reluctant to make these false gifts, but who knew that the queen actually made her own decision and gave Xie Yinhua a jade pendant in her own name.

Now that I think about it, although it has been a long time, Donglin Shuo still opened his mouth to explain: "The jade pendant was not given by me, it was given to you by the queen mother." ”

Xie Yinhua has always had a good face, but when he heard Tanglin Shuo deny it, his face turned red, and he was even more angry.

Since she received it at the age of ten, she has regarded it as a treasure, and she also feels that Tanglin Shuo treats her with an unusual heart. I don't want to find out today, it's just my own delusion.

"But it is my beloved thing, and if it is broken, I will punish that person!" Xie Yinhua said. "The slave and maid were bought by the Xie family, and the deed of sale is in my hands."

"Even if there is a deed of sale, it doesn't mean that you can kill with a rod at will." Chu Nanyue said indifferently, "According to the laws of Tanglin, you rashly killed the maid with a rod, and cut off her relatives' way of life, and now you are the one who is guilty." ”

The parents of the maids kneeling in the hall all looked at Xie Yinhua timidly and fearfully.

Xie Yinhua had lost a little confidence, raised his head and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"A hundred rods, or a year's exile." Chu Nanyue replied.

Xie Yinhua laughed out loud and said, "It's not just our Xie family who killed the maid with a cane in Beijing. Do you dare to say that you treat me like this and don't hide your selfishness?! ”

Chu Nanyue did everything possible to surround Donglin Shuo, did she really think that she could see everything?

"I can really say that there is no selfishness." Chu Nanyue's eyes were calm, and she met Xie Yinhua's eyes.

Chu Nanyue knew that because of the involvement of a big family, such cases often went unresolved. She herself didn't mean to let Xie Yinhua sentence so heavily.

Chu Nanyue just wanted to kill Xie Yinhua's sharp energy, so that the maid's relatives could get the compensation they deserved.

The hall was at a stalemate, and a servant hurriedly ran up and handed over the paperwork in his hand.
