The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

The man thought of what Luo Ye said, and he gritted his teeth and continued to cry: "Who are you calling a mad dog, Princess? I am a good citizen. My wife was poisoned to death by you. I came to your shop to ask for justice, but you called me a mad dog. In Kyoto, under the feet of the emperor, there is no justice. Who can make the decision for us ordinary people——"

Xie Zhichan just sneered and said, "Whoever barks wildly, I will call him a mad dog."

The man started shouting without caring about anything, saying over and over again, "The lip balm from Qianyuan Pavilion Rouge Shop poisoned my wife to death!" "What a vicious merchant! Buying a lip balm costs a life!" "The wife of the Prince of Yan is taking a life without mercy!"

Everyone passing by at the street corner was attracted over, and soon they surrounded it in three layers.

Many spectators outside had to stand on tiptoe to see what was going on inside.

Some people passing by who were carrying loads on their shoulders even turned the baskets upside down and placed them under their feet, standing on top of them to look.

But the strange thing was that there was only a man crying and shouting while guarding a woman's body, and the Princess Consort of Prince Yan just sat at the door of the shop and watched him crying, as if she was watching a play.

Why is there no smell of gunpowder at all?

The focus of some passers-by's discussions has even gradually shifted.

"This Qianyuan Pavilion Rouge Shop belongs to the Prince of Yan's Consort, right?"

"Yes. I didn't expect that the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Yan is actually such a beauty."

"I heard that when the Prince of Yan returned to the capital, it was the Princess who lent him a carriage to seek medical treatment, so that he could save his life."

"The Prince of Yan is a great general who defeated the Turkic bandits, and the Princess is also a great beauty. A hero and a beauty go well together, very good."

This was something Xie Zhichan had not expected, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart. Even though Emperor Jingde was unkind to Pei Yi, the people still remembered his good deeds.

Just as he was moved, he heard the voice of an official shouting, "Make way, make way. The Dali Temple is handling a case. All outsiders must step back."

Xie Zhichan thought to himself, the Dali Temple is not close to here, but the people came quite quickly. Yue Yan’s lightness skills are really good.

Yue Yan returned to her side and said, "I just came out of the street entrance of the East Market when I saw Lord Zhang coming with his men. He said that the prince went to the Dali Temple to invite him. The prince didn't want to be accused of protecting his own officials, so he didn't come with Lord Zhang."

Xie Zhichan suddenly felt warm in her heart. She could actually handle this little thing by herself.

The onlookers all made way.

The man, who had cried until his voice was hoarse and could hardly pretend to be well, saw the officials coming. His panicked expression calmed down after a moment and he immediately cried to the officials, "My lords, please help me. The things in Qianyuan Pavilion's Rouge Shop are poisonous. They have killed my wife."

The leading officer said, "You can tell our lord the details of this case."

As he spoke, the officials made way and a tall and handsome man walked out from behind them. He was wearing the official uniform of the Dali Temple Chief Justice. The uniform was mainly black and embroidered with delicate and intricate cloud patterns. It made people feel solemn and dignified at the first sight.

Xie Zhichan didn't expect that there would be such a serious person around Pei Yi.

She just didn't know that Zhang Junze was just pretending at this time.

When he saw Xie Zhichan, he simply stepped forward and bowed according to the rules, saying, "Your subordinate Zhang Junze greets the Crown Prince's Consort."

The attitude is distant and cold.

No one could tell that he was asked to come and help Xie Zhichan.

The man immediately shouted, "Why do you want to pay respect to the Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Yan's Mansion? It was the poisonous lip balm in her shop that killed my wife. Do you want to protect her just because she is from the Prince of Yan's Mansion?"

Zhang Junze turned around and looked at the man coldly: "I am Zhang Junze, the Minister of the Dali Temple, and I hold the third rank. The Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Yan's Mansion is a lady of the imperial court. When she married the Crown Prince of Yan to bring good luck, the emperor granted her a second-rank imperial title. According to my rank, I should pay my respects to the Crown Prince's Consort. What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with the etiquette and rules of my Great Jin Dynasty?"

When the man heard this, he stopped shouting.

Xie Zhichan was grateful to Zhang Junze for his kindness in helping him, and he also knew what the common people were thinking. He didn't want Zhang Junze to have his reputation damaged because of this incident, so he deliberately asked, "Excuse me, is this Lord Zhang the one who is rumored in Kyoto to love rummaging through the back gardens of noble families, and who even rummaged through the back garden of Concubine Hui's mother's home last year?"

The corner of Zhang Junze's eye twitched. In fact, he had only rumoured the back garden that once, but for some reason, rumors spread in Kyoto, and he became the one who rumoured the back gardens of noble families the most. From then on, the wealthy and powerful in Kyoto no longer dared to invite him to the banquets to appreciate the flowers.

It was hard to explain right now, so he nodded awkwardly: "I guess so."

The people watching around looked at Zhang Junze with some reverence. This was the Lord Zhang who had arrested Concubine Hui's brother-in-law and stood up for the people. He was a good official who even dared to arrest Concubine Hui's family members. How could he favor the Crown Prince's Concubine from Prince Yan's Mansion?

Xie Zhichan said to Zhang Junze: "Since you are Lord Zhang, you will definitely get to the bottom of the case. I don't have to worry about being falsely accused of murder."

He pointed at the body of the woman on the stretcher and said, "A woman died of poisoning here, and the murderer should be this man. Lord Zhang, please arrest him and bring him to justice."

After hearing this, the man could no longer conceal his panic. Ordinary people are afraid of officials, and he is a gangster, so he is even more afraid.

He immediately shouted, "The Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Yan's Mansion abused her power and colluded with officials to oppress the people!"

Unfortunately, the onlookers no longer believed what he said.

Zhang Junze shouted, "Shut up! Since you said so, I will handle this case here. With so many people here, they can supervise me to see if I have colluded with the Crown Prince's Consort to oppress the people as you said."

After that, he asked the officer to fetch a hexagonal stool with ring feet from the shop, and then sat on it on the street. He asked the man, "Since you said your wife was poisoned to death, tell me why."

The man had nothing to say. He had already thought about escaping, but there were many officials here, and the roads were blocked on all sides by the onlookers. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the story again about when his wife bought the lip balm yesterday, when she used it for the first time, and when she died of the poison.
