The other party was a general of cavalry, with enormous power. They were insignificant, so what could they do to Wang Shigong?

Before this, they had also gone to the government office, but the government office did not care about this matter at all. What a joke, how could the government office care? Could they care about the head of the General of the Cavalry?

Therefore, not only did the two fail to successfully sue, they were also punished by the people in the yamen with ten boards each and thrown out.

Sun was better off, after all, she was young, so she could bear the pain. But Lin was old, how could she possibly endure the beating? It was only because the yamen's police officer felt sorry for her that he put a cushion under her and saved her from being beaten to death.

However, even so, Wang Shigong found out that they had gone to the yamen, and he sent people out last night to harm them.

How can I put it? The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were lucky. They were chased last night and fled to the city wall. They hid in a bamboo basket all night and survived.

In other words, those people didn't dare to cause trouble under the city wall, otherwise they would have been dead on the streets last night.

Firstly, he was worried about being assassinated again, and secondly, he really wanted to seek justice, so he struck the Zhentian Drum.

"Do you have any evidence for what you say?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhentian frowned. How could there be such a beast in this world who even spared his old mother?

"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can just order someone to go to my house and find out."

As for evidence, they were so busy escaping that they didn't have any evidence.

However, most people in the village knew what happened at home, and they all knew Wang Shigong, so they could find out by asking anyone.

But Tang Zhentian frowned after hearing this. How dare you file a complaint with the emperor when you have nothing?

Do I really have to send someone to investigate? When will it be done?

"Father, may I have a word with you?"

Tang Tianyu, who was standing by, was also shocked, but he firmly believed that what the old woman said was true.

It's just that there is no evidence.

After all, this old and weak man has nothing to do, so why would he risk his life by beating the thunderous drum during a festival?

"Ah."

Hearing this, Tang Zhentian waved his hand. In fact, looking at the expressions of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Tang Zhentian had a rough guess in her mind that most of what they said was true.

But Shangguan Yan was the General of the Cavalry after all, and Wang Shigong, as his son-in-law, couldn't just be executed. Everything had to be based on evidence, not just because you told me to believe it.

"Old lady, you just said that it was a group of guards who saved you. Do you know whose family these guards are from?"

"Your Majesty, I don't know. But I took something from that deceased benefactor. Please take a look."

As he spoke, Lin slowly reached into his arms and took out a wooden token.

The texture of the token looks extremely complex, with dragon patterns surrounding it and a large "Feather" standing in the middle.

Seeing this token, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but frown.

"Are you sure this item belongs to the guard?"

After a while, Tang Tianyu slowly asked.

"nature."

The old lady nodded when she heard this. The reason why she put away the token was that she wanted to find her benefactor's house in the future and let them know the news of his death.

After all, she was just an ordinary person and could not say anything about revenge for her benefactor. The only thing she could do was to inform his family of the news of his death.

"Yu'er, do you know whose house this token belongs to?"

Tang Zhentian narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this. He did not see the words on the token clearly, but only saw the dragon patterns around it.

What is that? Dragon pattern, something only the royal family can use!

In other words, the people who saved the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were the royal guards.

"Father, this token belongs to your son's mansion."

"Ok?"

Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Tang Zhentian couldn't help but widen his eyes. What a coincidence? Yours?

"How is this going?"

"Father, when my wife and I returned to the imperial city a month ago, she disliked the bumpy ride in the carriage, so I sent a team of guards to the South China Sea to look for something called rubber."

"I think it's probably that the guard team came across this case by chance and felt that they were injustice."

Wen Liuli, who was outside, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Did they save Chen Shimei's mother and wife?

This is such a coincidence, how could such a big case be found by looking for rubber?

And one of them died, oh my god.

"In that case, take Wang Shigong with you!"

Since people from Prince Wu's Palace were involved and people died, this matter is no longer just their family affair.

Murder is a serious crime, let alone the death of a royal guard.

Not to mention that you are a son-in-law, even if Shangguan Yan came, would he dare to kill the people in Prince Wu's Mansion if he had ten times the courage?

About an hour later, Wang Shigong was taken to the Dali Temple, and Shangguan Jing also came with him.

"Your humble servant Wang Shigong (your humble servant Shangguan Jing) pays respect to Your Majesty!"

As soon as they entered the Dali Temple, the two men knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Tang Zhentian.

"Get up! Wang Shigong, let me ask you, do you recognize them?"

As he spoke, Tang Zhentian pointed at the two people in the hall and narrowed his eyes slightly.

This guy doesn’t look good, so why is Shangguan’s daughter so fascinated by him?

Wang Shigong turned around when he heard that, and his heart skipped a beat. He had a feeling that something bad was going to happen when he heard the deafening drums this morning, and he didn't expect that it was them who did it.

However, despite his surprise, Wang Shigong remained calm and replied quickly.

"Your Majesty, I don't know him!"

As his voice fell, Lin and Sun in the hall almost fainted.

Especially Lin, she stood up and started cursing at Wang Shigong, pointing at his nose.

"You beast! I worked so hard to raise you, but now you don't even recognize me and want to harm me!"

"If I had known this would happen, I would have really regretted giving birth to a beast like you."

"My grandson died tragically at the hands of the murderer."

……

"Snapped!"

Hearing Lin's scolding getting more and more unpleasant, Tang Zhentian frowned immediately. This is a court, not your home. If you want to scold me, go back home.

As the gavel sounded, Lin suddenly came to his senses and knelt back down.

"Lin, Sun! What else do you two have to say?"

With the case at this point, Tang Zhentian already had a premonition that the case might not be closed today. As long as Wang Shigong insisted that he did not know the mother and daughter, the matter would not be resolved.

"Your Majesty, I know that he has a red birthmark on his buttocks."

At this moment, Sun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and said, "You were the one who was ruthless first. Don't blame me for being ungrateful."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. There must be a way to prove that you know each other, right?

"Your Majesty, I was accidentally bitten by a dog yesterday. The dog was very ferocious and tore off a piece of flesh from my buttocks. I'm afraid this lady's words cannot be proven."

Wang Shigong snorted coldly when he heard this. Fortunately, he had made preparations long ago and cut off the birthmark with great pain. Now let's see how you prove it.

"Forehead……"

How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Anyone with a brain would probably know what this bastard was thinking. It's just that there is no evidence to prove it, right?

If they want to prove their relationship, I'm afraid the only way is to use blood test.

So, at Tang Zhentian's instruction, a eunuch brought out a bowl of water.

Seeing this thing, Wang Shigong snorted coldly. Others may not know, but how could he not know? His blood and this old woman's blood are simply incompatible. Blood test? Haha, whatever you want.

Even if you drain the old woman dry, she still won’t melt.

The fact was just as Wang Shigong thought. After the blood of the two people dripped into the bowl, it dissolved in the water and did not mix together.

At this time, Tang Zhentian turned his gaze to Lin.

This was the first time he doubted the truth of what Lin said. Now you can't even prove that he is your son, how can you assert that he wants to harm you?

"Tsk, how old-fashioned! They even need to use blood test to test kinship."

Wen Liuli, who was outside, twitched her lips when she saw this. Others might not know, but how could she not know? People with the same blood type would naturally get along, but people with different blood types would not be compatible.

And this Chen Shimei definitely has the same blood type as his father, so of course he can't get along with his mother.

"Who's making the noise?"

Wen Liuli's voice was not loud, but Tang Zhentian was a master after all, so he heard it clearly and immediately frowned.

This method of testing paternity by blood is an ancient method. Who in the world does not believe in it?

However, when he saw that handsome face through the crowd, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

"This is a court, don't make trouble."

If it was someone else, Tang Zhentian would definitely have dragged her to be beaten with a stick, but this person was Wen Liuli, so let it go.

"Your Majesty, I am not kidding, it's just that this method of blood test is really unreliable."

Seeing that Tang Zhentian had already discovered her, Wen Liuli simply walked over. The yamen runners at the door wanted to stop her, but the eunuch signaled them to make way for her.

As soon as Wen Liuli walked into the court, everyone inside and outside the court frowned. This person seemed to be of high status, and even His Majesty knew her.

The main thing is that Wen Liuli said that she was a concubine, not a servant, not a commoner, which is somewhat intriguing.

Tang Zhentian narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard that. He didn't know what abilities Wen Liuli had, but most of them were strange and weird things. He also heard that her medical skills were not bad.

But why did she deny this method of blood test?

"Do you have any evidence to prove it?"

However, the case was still under trial, and Tang Zhentian didn't have time to chat with her, so he just asked directly.

"There should be."

After saying that, Wen Liuli took the bowl of water that had just been used for the blood test from the yamen runner.

"Your Majesty, are there any close relatives present?"

"Except for Yu'er and me, there is no one."

Hearing this, Tang Zhentian frowned slightly. What does this girl want to do?

Hearing his words, Wen Liuli nodded, then picked up the needle on the tray, walked to the yamen runners on both sides of the court, and gave them a shot one by one.

But in just a short while, the bowl of water that originally had only two drops of blood now had several more drops.

"Your Majesty, please look!"
