Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Dabao suddenly spoke, and the emperor was stunned.

"What's wrong?"

"Grandpa Emperor, the law is the foundation for maintaining order in the court. When order becomes chaos, we have to use chaos to maintain order and save the law..."

Laws and decrees are the mandate of the people, the foundation of governance, and the means to prepare the people.

If a country's discipline is not correct, its national morals will inevitably decline. The foundation of the law is fairness. Without fairness, the law has no meaning to exist.

"Grandpa Emperor...small evils are not tolerated in the village, and great evils are not tolerated in the country. This case is no longer a matter for the royal family, but for the imperial court. If it is handed over to the Zongzheng Temple for handling, the end result will be that the people will be disappointed with the court."

In the case of Princess Gaoyang, no one was killed, and the people could accept the case handled by the Zongzheng Temple.

The case of the eldest princess involves more than ten lives. If it is not dealt with, it will not be enough to appease the public anger. The emperor is very hesitant. Should he really hand it over to the Dali Temple?

Luo Chengdong was tactful in his actions, but he had a bottom line. If a murder case was handed over to him, he would not agree even if the emperor asked for a lighter sentence.

Maybe he will resign and leave.

Since Miss Rong dared to come out and complain, she must have been prepared. The eldest princess is definitely not innocent, but I don’t know whether she is innocent or not.

If no evidence is found, the matter will have to be dealt with at that time.

"The case is being jointly investigated by the Zongzheng Temple and the Dali Temple, with the Zongzheng Temple taking the lead."

The emperor still couldn't make up his mind, but he still made concessions. This arrangement was a two-pronged approach.

The appearance of Rong Qianqian brings up an old case.

More than a year ago,

The Princess's Mansion wants to buy several shops in the East Market from the Rong family.

The Rong family was wealthy, and a shop with such a prime location was like a golden goose that laid eggs, so they were naturally unwilling to sell it.

The princess went to the mansion many times but failed. Soon, the wine shop opened by the Rong family was involved in a murder lawsuit. More than 10 people were poisoned by the wine. The master of the Rong family had his legs broken by the poisoned family members.

Every day, people would come to the Rong family to cause trouble. Mrs. Rong was already in poor health and died of depression due to anger.

The government found that the guest was indeed poisoned by alcohol, and the evidence was irrefutable.

The master of the Rong family was forced to confess his crime, sell his property to compensate the victim's family, and was forgiven, thus avoiding imprisonment.

It was said that the master and daughter of the Rong family left the capital and returned to their hometown, but unexpectedly they did not leave. The daughter of the Rong family even came out to seek justice at this critical juncture.

If it weren't for the Gaoyang Princess incident, people might doubt its authenticity.

After all, the evidence that Rong's liquor store poisoned people is solid, and the government has made it public, and the people have recognized it, so there is no problem.

It’s different now.

The purchasing manager of the Princess's Mansion secretly kidnapped the child and threatened the parents to give false testimony. The Zongzheng also planned to protect them. So the Rong family's affairs may be a case of officials protecting each other.

It takes a hundred years to build trust, but it only takes a moment to break it.

"Thorough investigation!"

"You must give us an explanation!"

"There is a conspiracy. Fu Yi is colluding with the princess to persecute the Rong family."

The people at the scene rioted again, this time even more violently, and the city defense department on the scene was a little overwhelmed.

"quiet!"

"quiet!"

Luo Chengdong knocked the gavel and the scene gradually quieted down. They were waiting for the verdict. If they were not satisfied, it would be difficult to suppress the riot again.

"In the Gaoyang Princess case, since there were no casualties, this sect leader has issued the following sentence... stripping her of her title and confining her to a temple for five years... As for the Rong family case."

Zhao An has no authority. How should he deal with the situation and appease the people?

"The imperial edict has arrived..."

The appearance of Eunuch Sheng solved his problem.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees... The Rong family case involves over ten lives, including the lives of a royal princess. I order the Zongzheng Temple, the Dali Temple, and the Shuntian Prefecture Governor to jointly investigate and ensure an explanation is given to the people."

The people shouted:

"Long live your majesty."

The emperor was very cunning. His imperial edict only mentioned the good things and not the bad. Eunuch Sheng called Zhao An and Luo Chengdong aside:

"Your Majesty orally."

"Zongzheng Temple is in charge. Please report any progress at any time."

The case of Princess Gaoyang has been settled, and the case of the eldest princess will be reopened for investigation. The people are very satisfied with this result.

The eldest princess led her people away with a gloomy face. The matter had been decided, and the fate of Princess Gaoyang was already determined. She could not even protect herself now.

Rong Qianqian came to Xiao Yunxi and bowed to her:

"I thank the Crown Princess."

Thank her?

Xiao Yunxi didn’t quite understand. She didn’t seem to know Rong Qianqian?

"If it weren't for the Crown Princess speaking for the people and giving me confidence, I wouldn't have the courage to stand up again."

Rong Qianqian knew that if she wanted to take revenge by relying on her own abilities, there would be no hope in this life.

During her stay in the capital, she inquired about the relationships among the princes and knew that if she wanted revenge, her only chance was to seize the throne.

The Rong family's affairs can be used as a breakthrough point for other princes to deal with the Second Prince, but it is easy to pass the knife, but it is difficult to protect yourself.

She's waiting for an opportunity.

The public trial of Princess Gaoyang's case made her think that the time had come and she acted decisively. She bet on Xiao Yunxi's support and on Xiao Yunxi's character.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll use you and then throw you away?"

"I'm afraid, but I don't think the Crown Princess will."

When she deals with the princess, she must kill her with one strike and not give her any chance, otherwise she will be the one to die.

It's not the best time to take action, but she wants to take a gamble.

Xiao Yunxi's character is trustworthy as she is able to stand up for a stranger and confront the eldest princess. Only by cooperating with such a person can you protect yourself.

Rong Qianqian is very smart. Her courage and wisdom are rare among women of this era.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Xiao Yunxi doesn't mind giving her a hand.

"If I have the chance, I will take action without hesitation, provided that I can prevent the other party from turning over. I'm afraid it's impossible to convict the princess based solely on the current confession."

"Princess, I have only one condition: blood debt must be repaid with blood."

Communicating with smart people is easy.

Xiao Yunxi knew that what Rong Qianqian needed was her promise and protection, and Rong Qianqian knew that what Xiao Yunxi needed was substantial evidence.

"If the evidence is conclusive, I will deliver the other party's head."

If the emperor wants to protect the eldest princess, Xiao Yunxi will use private punishment. In short, she will definitely satisfy Rong Qianqian's wish.

Since Xiao Yunxi made a promise, Rong Qianqian also showed sincerity and handed over the evidence she had already compiled.

"Here is all the relevant evidence. There are some people that the Crown Princess needs to arrest."

Xiao Yunxi stuffed the testimony into her arms:

"Come back to the Xiao Mansion with me, and I will provide you with protection until the case is solved."

The evidence provided by Rong Qianqian was not considered evidence at all to her. Even if she gave it to the Dali Temple and the Zongzheng Temple, they might not be able to investigate further.

She was smart enough not to report this. If these clues were given to the secret guards, they could dig out a lot of things.
