Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

The Crown Prince spoke up and stood on Zhao Yuanqing's side. Officials from the Crown Prince's faction also came forward to plead for Zhao Yuanqing. The Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Minister of the Supreme Court, interrogate them. What's going on?"

Dali Temple Minister Tian Lishi replied, "Yes!"

The Dali Temple is the highest-level case-handling agency in the Daqing Dynasty. Tian Lishi is in his forties and has handled countless major cases. He exudes a murderous and violent aura that makes people afraid to approach him.

He stood in front of the group of barbarians and shouted, "What's going on with you? Report immediately!"

His shout frightened several people immediately, and they shouted, "Sir, spare our lives!"

Tian Lishi narrowed his eyes, "What did you say?"

He shouted even louder, "Master, spare my life!"

Tian Lishi waved his hand and said, "Come forward."

The man trembled as he walked to the front. "Sir?"

"Who are you?"

"I am from the Western Regions... uh... Eastern Turks in the Western Regions..."

His voice gradually faded. Tian Lishi smiled, then suddenly shouted, "You're lying! You're clearly from Qujiang, Chang'an!"

The man suddenly fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "I am from the Western Regions, not Chang'an."

"Really? Meng Jijiu, could you please speak a few words to this man in the Western dialect?"

"it is good."

Meng Zhen walked to the front and spoke something in the Western dialect. The man stuttered a few words. Meng Zhen said a few more words, and the man could no longer hold back and explained,

"Sir, I am indeed from the Western Regions, but I have been living in Chang'an in recent years and I no longer speak the Western Regions dialect."

This is sheer nonsense. People will never forget their mother tongue, which they learn from childhood.

At this moment, everyone realized that these people might not be from the Western Regions at all, but were imposters from the capital! That was too much, this was deceiving the emperor!

Tian Lishi did not interrogate them and let Meng Zhen talk to this group of people first. Among the twelve people, only one could speak fluent Western dialect, and the others could only speak a few words.

Now it was clear. Tian Lishi shouted, "Why don't you confess the truth? Otherwise, I will punish you severely!"

These eleven people all spoke with one voice, insisting that they were from the Western Regions, now living in Chang'an, and no longer spoke the Western Region dialect.

Tian Lishi sneered and pointed at the stone tablet, saying, "Read the words on it to me. Whoever can read it will be spared!"

Only that one person could read it, no one else could.

The situation became clearer. Zhao Yuanqing knelt on the ground and said, "Father, these people disguised themselves as people from the Western Regions and deliberately framed me. Please help me!"

Zhao Xing also knelt down, "Father, Shanzhen is a princess of a dignified country, but these people have spread rumors and slandered her. Not only has her reputation been damaged, but the reputation of the royal family has also been damaged. Please, father, make a decision for Shanzhen!"

All the prince's descendants knelt on the ground and asked the emperor to make the decision.

The emperor's face was as black as a piece of charcoal. It was unclear whether he was angry at Zhao Yuanqing or at these people from the Western Regions.

"Stand up! I will not let anyone who dares to frame the princess get away with it! Come, give each of you fifty lashes!"

At this time, the man who could speak the Western dialect said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Say!"

According to this man, his name was Abbas, and he was a spice merchant from East Turkestan. This time he came to Daqing Kingdom to sell spices. He received a task, which was to spread rumors and slander Princess Shanzhen. At that time, someone would give them a stone tablet and ask them to cause trouble on the street.

But Abbas did not hate Princess Shanzhen at all, and was very grateful to her. In the past, when their spice merchants came to Daqing to sell spices, they had to hawk their goods on the streets for a long time. Now they only need to carry the spices to the Zuixiangfeng shop opened by Princess Shanzhen, and they can sell them in a quarter of an hour, which is much better than before.

This time someone wanted to harm Princess Shanzhen, and Abbas felt that it was wrong, so he wrote an inscription himself to replace the bad inscription in the Stone Carving Museum, just because he did not want to bring shame to such a good person as Princess Shanzhen.

Guo Fenghao, Tang Xinjian and others were stunned when they heard this. Many of them exchanged glances secretly, thinking that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction and they had to find a solution quickly.

Guo Fenghao said, "Your Majesty, these people are deceiving the emperor! Please behead them immediately and show them to the public!"

Zhao Yuanqing said, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, the trial isn't over yet."

"The facts are clear. What else is there to interrogate? Let me tell you. Killing them will serve as a warning to others!"

Tian Lishi spoke up, "Master Guo, why are you so anxious? Are you handling the case, or am I?"

Guo Fenghao's forehead was sweating, "Of course it is you, Lord Tian, ​​who will handle the case, please!"

Tian Lishi asked the other eleven people, "If you confess early, you can be spared the death penalty. If you don't confess, you will all be executed by slow slicing!"

The group immediately peed their pants in fear, and rushed to shout, "Explain! Explain!"

It turned out that this group of people were hangers-on in Chang'an City, who made a living by running errands and doing odd jobs on the streets. There were many Hu people in Chang'an City, and they could speak a few words of Hu language.

Yesterday, someone found them and promised them a large sum of money, asking them to carry a stone tablet to Zui Xiang Feng to cause trouble today. These people thought they were just causing trouble, but they didn't expect to come to the Golden Palace!

"Who found you?"

"do not know."

"Which stone carving museum?"

"The Mingzhihui Stone Carving Museum in Xishi."

Tian Lishi immediately sent people to the Stone Carving Museum, but unfortunately they arrived too late. The stonemason was already dead, having been stabbed to death. The Stone Carving Museum also caught fire, leaving only the frames.

The clues of this matter were cut off here.

But no matter what, the matter was clear, and the emperor quickly gave the result. The eleven people who falsely accused the princess were executed immediately. They dared to deceive the emperor in the Golden Palace, and their entire clan was implicated.

As for Abbas, after investigation by the Dali Temple, it was found that he was indeed a spice merchant and there was a record of him in the government. He was acquitted.

At this time, it was almost noon, the whole case had become clear, and Zhao Yuanqing's charges were cleared.

The emperor wanted to dismiss the court, but Zhao Yuanqing refused to listen. "Father, I have suffered such a great injustice. These imperial eunuchs have wronged me for no reason. Aren't they going to be punished?"

The three imperial eunuchs hurriedly said, "Princess, we are also following the rules."

"Yes, Princess, I was also bewitched by these people!"

"You're just making accusations without investigating thoroughly. You're not fit to be Imperial Envoys! If all Imperial Envoys were like you, believing everything they hear and accusing anyone they want, the court would be in chaos!"

Crown Prince Zhao Xing also echoed the emperor. The emperor had no choice but to demote all three imperial envoys by one level. From then on, they no longer attended court and all returned to the Censorate to serve as chief clerks.

The three men screamed in their hearts, knowing that there was no hope of promotion in the next few years, but at least they were still alive, and they had to thank God for his grace.

The case was now clear, the emperor announced the adjournment of court, and the officials also left the palace.
