Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1744

Dong Xi, who was behind Chi Shuang, took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the Xingping County government office and report to the authorities.

The magistrate of Xingping County, Mr. Zhong, was in charge of the eastern part of the capital. He had received several hints earlier that he should not act rashly.

First, the Chi family came to give gifts, and he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. He also said that this was just a family matter and there was no need to bother Master Zhong and waste manpower.

Next came the Princess's Mansion, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, and the Marquis of Jian'an's Mansion. They all sent middlemen to pass on the message, asking them to wait and see how the situation developed and not to rush and waste government resources to take care of a family affair.

Finally, Eunuch An, the eunuch in charge of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, came to visit him late at night and told him to be more sensible and not to follow the people from the Imperial Censorate in meddling in and making reckless judgments.

Master Zhong confiscated the gift from the Chi family, but he really didn't care. The Chi family thought that Master Zhong was giving them face and were secretly happy.

Little did he know that Master Zhong was also confused, not knowing whether he was defending the Chi family or Chi Shuang who was besieged by the Chi family. In short, things were developing in a weird direction.

That day, when Lord Zhong saw someone coming with the princess's token to report a case, he knew it was his turn to take action.

He first sent yamen runners to the scene to bring back the rioters, the Chi family members, the besieged Chi Shuang, and the body of old lady Chi to the Xingping County Yamen.

The crowd of onlookers followed in a mighty and spontaneous manner. After watching the excitement for seven days, they naturally wanted to see the end.

The trial hadn't started yet, but the new issue of Yijing Weekly had come out. Mr. Chu Sheng's story about the sad passing of a talented man in Beijing was published in the corner of the last page.

The story is old-fashioned, but the writing style is fresh, simple and unpretentious, and it bears the stamp of "Mr. Chu Sheng". Even if the article is published in the most inconspicuous place, many people still read it with relish.

"This talented man is so pitiful!"

"How pitiful this talented man's wife is!"

"This talented man's sons and daughters are so pitiful!"

This is a story about a pitiful family. The talented man was murdered, his wife was tortured to death by her mother-in-law, his son died fighting for his country, and his daughter was awarded the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine by the court. She asked to leave the family, but was besieged by her former relatives and clansmen and forced to give up her glory.

Hey, this story looks familiar! The yamen lawyer quickly handed the newspaper to Mr. Zhong and whispered.

Lord Zhong looked at the huge crowd in the hall, some standing, some kneeling, some lying down, some alive, some dead... He felt his eyelids twitching several times.

He read the story quickly and felt that it was not his turn to decide the case.

Sure enough, as soon as this idea came to mind, Jingzhao Yin intervened and sent people to take over the case.

This case will be tried together with another case! This is what the visitor explained to Mr. Zhong.

Master Zhong was eager to throw away this hot potato, but there was one thing: "The body has changed color a little."

The visitor nodded and sent a coroner to take away Mrs. Chi's body.

Chi Yisong was a little confused, his eyes were red, and he forgot to cry, "Where are you taking my mother?"

Lord Zhong was a filial son. Hearing this, he became furious and slammed the gavel. "You still know that's your mother! Her corpse has been exposed for seven days. You're done! Come on, take everyone to Jingzhao Prefecture."
