Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 93

Lin Zisu had been at the Luo Mansion, sitting with the Luo sisters until dusk, and then returned to the house.

As soon as she entered the house, the concierge hurriedly informed her that Lin Yuanzhi had sent a message since he went to the Yamen, asking her to go to the study room when she got home.

Lin Yuanzhi had been waiting in the study for a while, and was drinking tea in the study with a gloomy look. When he saw Lin Zisu coming in, his expression softened slightly and said: "Sister, listen to your mother, you

I went to the Luo Mansion to diagnose the illness of Princess Wei, how is her condition?"

Lin Zisu briefly explained Luo Ying's condition, only saying that she was poisoned, but did not say the cause of the poisoning. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanzhi felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this, and after a while he said: "I met Prince Wei today.

"

The situation in the capital has been changing over the past two days. The palace summoned all civil and military officials to attend the morning court early in the morning. This court meeting was hosted by Xie Yao. Unexpectedly, several princes also participated in the court meeting.

Because the emperor was seriously ill, public security in Beijing became increasingly chaotic. Although martial law was lifted, a large number of forbidden troops were still gathered in various important passes.

As a result, it is obviously no longer enough to rely solely on Jingzhao Mansion to maintain law and order in Beijing.

Zhang Ruogu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suggested that a large number of meritorious disciples had nothing to do in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division all day long, so they might as well assist the Jingzhao Mansion.

Xie Yao immediately agreed to Zhang Ruogu's request. Since Xu Wentao, the deputy commander of the Beicheng Army and Horse Division, had been allowed to go with the army, the third prince Xie Hui recommended Xie Yan, the eldest son of Prince Wei's palace, on the spot.

The Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Industry, where Lin Yuanzhi worked, was originally an idle yamen. Those trivial official matters were really not easy to deal with in court meetings. Every time he participated in the court meetings, he just participated.

The dignified Crown Princess Wei sued the crown prince, which was a major event that caused a stir in the capital. When Lin Zisu rushed to the Metropolitan Procuratorate on official missions from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the door was already surrounded by people who did not know the truth.

After the court meeting, Lin Yuanzhi was about to return to the Yamen when he was stopped by Xie Yan.

Lin Zisu tried to ask: "Father, what kind of person is my second uncle?"

Lin Yuanzhi spent the whole day thinking about how to deal with it. When he returned home, he heard that Lin Zisu went to visit Princess Wei, so he wanted to ask his daughter about it.

By chance, the Crown Princess of Wei beat the Dengwen Drum. Emperor Taizu had an explicit order that the sound of the Dengwen Drum could be heard in the sky. Every drum sound must have an echo.

Xie Yan talked about the marriage proposal before the Wanshou Festival in Prince Wei's Mansion, and said that in a few days, someone would be sent to the mansion to discuss the details of the marriage.

In the next two days, everything was calm in Kang Ningbo's house. It seemed that Prince Wei's house had nothing to do with Lin Yuanzhi's statement, so it stopped.

Amidst the commotion, Lin Zisu and Lve Ying followed the officials and squeezed into the Metropolitan Procuratorate and entered the main hall. However, Lv Ying was regarded as an "irrelevant person" and was blocked from the main hall.

King Wei is the younger brother of the current emperor and a dignified prince. It is not his turn to take care of his housework, and he does not dare to take care of it.

When they arrived at the front yard, they heard a chubby official say: "Are you Miss Lin? The Crown Prince of Wei beat the drum and accused the Crown Prince of Wei of murdering his wife. Master Tao, the imperial censor of Zuodu, issued a summons

, please go over and ask questions."

When Taizu founded the country, in order to make the voice of the people reach heaven, he established the Dengwen Drum Court according to the rules of the previous dynasty, and specially appointed officials to manage it. Any grievances that were caused by beating the Dengwen Drum must be lodged with the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Accept the case in person, and if any official blocks it, the sentence will be severe.

"What else can I say? Of course it means that your second uncle hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so we can't take charge of our family. We can't afford to offend Prince Wei's house, so we can only take one step at a time."

Ever since he bravely accepted Luo Ying's accusation, his eyelids were twitching.

Lin Yuanzhi was upset and walked around the room unconsciously, saying: "This stupid woman Huang is still thinking about letting Zi Zhu marry into Prince Wei's palace. How can a mother like this actually put herself in such trouble?"

My daughter was pushed into the fire pit!"

In other words, no matter what the reason for this matter is, he must report it to the emperor.

The emperor is still ill, and the Palace of Prince Wei, as long as they are concerned about the influence in the court, will not press for a marriage. If the emperor becomes ill, it will be a national mourning, and this so-called marriage will naturally fall through.

She is the eldest lady of Kang Ningbo Mansion, and she is considered a person of some status. She just gives a few blessings to a few people.

Lin Zisu was in the kitchen today, trying to figure out how to improve the taste of red bean cake. As soon as he crushed the mixed red beans into puree, he saw Jade running in from outside and said breathlessly: "

Miss, there are two officers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate looking for you outside."

Lin Zisu was confused when he first heard it. After a few breaths, he roughly guessed what was going on.

When Lin Zisu heard that Xie Yan came to her door to urge her to get married, she felt a little nervous. She was afraid that her father would accidentally agree to it, so she hurriedly asked: "Then what did father tell Prince Wei?"

Sitting in the middle of the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was Tao Ran, Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was not in the mood to care about Lin Zisu's salute.

Lin Zisu immediately thought of what happened to Luo Ying. Although Luo Ying did not say it explicitly, the implication behind her words was that she was forced to marry by her father, Luo Wencheng, and she married into Prince Wei's house out of desperation.

Thinking of this, Lin Zisu couldn't help but feel a little distrust of her father's decision. She had never met her second uncle. If he was like Huang, Lin Zisu's life would be ruined.

Unexpectedly, Prince Wei actually approached him directly, with a vaguely condescending attitude in his words, which made Lin Yuanzhi extremely uncomfortable.

Because Lin Zizhu's marriage was just a verbal agreement from the Huang family, and there was no proof, Lin Yuanzhi's idea was to "procrastinate".

Luo Ying was sitting in the lobby. When she saw Lin Zisu walking in, she stood up and said apologetically: "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry for dragging you in."

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been very tolerant towards the clan and vassal kings. The censors have participated in the clan's memorials. In the past few decades, the emperor has not approved a few of them.

Lin Zisu smiled knowingly at Luo Ying, and then greeted several officials in the lobby.

But my own Metropolitan Procuratorate is not here to mediate clan affairs!

Tao Ran looked at Luo Ying with some resentment, wondering in his heart whether the princess was not smart. With her status, she could enter and leave the palace freely, so she went directly to the emperor to seek justice. She had to bring the matter to her.

Here, isn’t this just looking for trouble!

Fortunately, I had done something to deal with it and invited Duke Chang Guo, who was in charge of clan affairs, and Qiu Guangzu, the minister of Dali Temple, to listen together. Even if something went wrong, I couldn't bear the responsibility alone.

Tao Ran first went to Duke Chang and asked, "My lord, I'm going to start questioning you now. Do you think it's appropriate?"
