Chapter 691: new lieutenant
Chapter 691 The new court lieutenant
"Get up, everyone."
Yin Enci was supported by Lin Yanjun and Hai Lianying, and walked slowly to the hall. Lin Tingyan was about to give up his seat, but Yin Enci waved his hand:
"Today's court is naturally handled by the Regent. Ai's family just heard that there are people who don't pay attention to the emperor at all, and dare to beat the court officials openly. This Jing Zhaoyin is a third-rank court official, even if he committed a crime. Mistakes are also dealt with by the court law, as the old saying goes, 'Punishment cannot be punished by a doctor', so disrespect for etiquette and law will put everyone in danger."
Lin Jinke knew that her ancestor was scolding herself, so she immediately bowed her head in a guilty conscience.
Jing Zhaoyin got the protection of his ancestors, and his proud face gradually rose, but before it was fully expressed, Yin Enci's fierce eyes immediately cast over: "As the governor of Jingzhao, but he treats human life like nothing, so stupid and incompetent. He Yanmian will eat Junlu again."
After finishing speaking, he sat down slowly and yelled at Jing Zhaoyin: "Go back and reflect on yourself. If you can't understand the way of being an official, you don't need to enter the gate of the imperial court again."
"Yes."
Jing Zhaoyin cupped his hands to Yin Enci disgruntledly, and walked out the door with difficulty, clutching his bruised buttocks.
Yin Enci stared deeply at the people in the hall, and said: "Ai's family has long heard people say that today's Tingwei Mansion is no longer what it used to be, that it is perfunctory, lazy and lazy. Government, an easy decision is related to the lives of several people."
Shaking her head with mocking eyes, she looked at Chu Nanzhi affectionately, and said earnestly: "A while ago when Hu Maoxi came to Beijing, the Ai family heard him mention an interesting story, this Princess Pingning was just a village woman at that time, but Dare to fight against him for the innocence of two insignificant men and women, the phrase "human life is greater than heaven" is also very thought-provoking."
"Old ancestors."
When the officials of Tingwei Mansion heard the words, they all knelt down in shame.
"Miss Nan Zhi, come forward."
Yin Enci smiled and waved to her.
Chu Nanzhi blushed a little after being praised by her, and stepped forward cautiously, but was grabbed by Yin Enci's palm, nodded in relief and said: "Our Dahe Empire is like you. There are not many beauties, and there are only a handful of women who care about the common people and are righteous. Before Ai's family leaves the palace, the emperor has made a decision to order you to temporarily take charge of the Tingwei Mansion and take over all the affairs of the Tingwei Mansion. Confidence to handle the errand entrusted to you by the emperor?"
The meaningful eyes made Chu Nanzhi's heart tighten.
She knew that her ancestor and the emperor had made up their minds to thoroughly investigate the old case back then, and when she was about to answer, Lin Yanjun suddenly interjected: "Old ancestor, this matter"
"Shut up."
Yin Enci glared at her in dissatisfaction, and Lin Yanjun immediately swallowed again, full of depression.
Yin Enci patted the back of Chu Nanzhi's hand heavily, and said to the crowd: "Since the founding of the Dahe Empire, we have always paid attention to meritocracy, and there are not a few women who enter official positions. The Ai family and the emperor believe in peace. The princess has the ability to manage the Tingwei Mansion in an orderly manner."
"What the ancestors said is true."
Lin Jinke has always wanted to make friends with Chu Nanzhi, and from what she said earlier, he also heard that this woman was in the same position as his own. He believed that the old Ting Wei was not killed by someone in the family, so he echoed the situation: "Your younger brother and sister are talented, and they can solve cases as quickly as possible." God, if there is her in charge of Ting Wei's mansion, I think I can avenge the shame of Ting Wei as soon as possible."
"Thank you for your praise, King Qinghe."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Yin Enci's expectant eyes, and immediately agreed: "My wife will definitely live up to the entrustment of your majesty and ancestors, and will definitely find out the death of Lord Zhang."
Seeing this, Hai Lian quickly handed over the emperor's imperial decree and official seal to her, and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Princess Pingning."
"Thank you, Patron Hai."
Chu Nanzhi took the imperial decree and official seal cautiously, her inner excitement and hesitation intertwined, making her hands tremble uncontrollably.
This feeling is even more tense and uneasy than when I was canonized as the princess, as if a mountain was pressing down on me.
For a while, the voices of Daoxi were heard in the lobby.
Seeing that everyone was trying to curry favor with her, the emotions on Lin Tingyan's face were indescribably complicated. She respected this woman but felt a little fear invisibly, and she didn't know if she still remembered the promise she had made with him.
If she formed an alliance with King Qinghe at this time, it would be a great disadvantage to herself.
The sudden change made him somewhat unable to adapt.
Looking intently at Chu Nanzhi, Lin Tingyan congratulated with a fake smile: "Princess Pingning took over the Tingwei Mansion, and her wish to enter Beijing has been fulfilled. Uncle Huang congratulates you here."
After finishing speaking, he added with a smile: "There is a long way to go, and I hope that my nephew and daughter-in-law can uphold the upright style."
"The teachings of the six emperors' uncles must be kept in mind."
Chu Nanzhi also responded with an intriguing smile.
The two looked at each other for a while, then Lin Tingyan suddenly changed the subject and said, "I told you and Jinshu today that this case may not be that simple, and I even suspect that Mr. Tingwei was arrested for secretly investigating the assassination of the old King Qinghe. It seems very likely that people will kill people and silence them."
"Uncle Liu Huang's deduction is reasonable, but everything is based on evidence."
Chu Nanzhi looked at Zhang's family members with a solemn expression: "Although I temporarily take over Tingwei's mansion according to His Majesty's order, I can't immediately declare Qian Xiaoniang innocent. Live in the prison of the Wei Mansion for a while, and wait for the truth to be revealed, then we can give justice to both of you."
"What does Princess Pingning mean by this move?"
Madam Tingwei asked in dissatisfaction: "Could it be that you suspect that my Wulang will kill his own father just because he can't be an official?"
"I don't mean that."
Chu Nanzhi explained: "It's just that all the evidence now points to their mother and son. According to the regulations, I can only temporarily detain their mother and son."
"The grassroots are willing to go to prison."
Zhang Wulang didn't want his mistress to be saddened by this matter anymore. Today's beating of the Dengwen drum caused a lot of trouble in the city.
Besides, he could also see that the new Ting Wei Mansion chosen by the ancestor was not mediocre, otherwise so many people would not have complimented her, even her father had praised the woman's talent.
Staring fixedly at Chu Nanzhi, Zhang Wulang said categorically: "Caomin believes that Princess Pingning can give justice to my father and my daughter. As long as Princess Pingning promises that Caomin will not torture and extract confessions from my daughter, Caomin will definitely obey the princess' wishes. Willing to cooperate with the investigation of this case."
"Very good."
Chu Nanzhi smiled gratifiedly: "Don't worry, I will handle this case impartially."
Looking at this docile and well-behaved gentleman of the Zhang family, he doesn't seem to be as idle and useless as he said in his mouth, and at most he has little talent and learning.
Presumably the old court lieutenant should be an extremely harsh person.
