Jing Zhaoyin hadn't understood what Xiao Rong's words meant, but watched Xiao Rong look into the crowd watching the trial, and instantly found Yuan Yin who was hiding in the crowd. Fortunately, he was not tall enough to was discovered.

Then Xiao Rong hooked his fingers, and there was a commotion in the crowd immediately. Two servants from the Duke of Zhen's mansion escorted a young man who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, covered his eyes, and blocked his tongue. After going to the court, he said to Xiao Rong, "My lord, I have brought you here."

Xiao Rong nodded, and the two of them withdrew from the courtroom. Jing Zhaoyin looked at the struggling person in the hall with a puzzled face, and then cast a questioning look at Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong ignored it and just stepped forward. He took out the cloth from the young man's mouth.

But as soon as the gag was removed, the young man cursed: "Qin Quan, you shameless person, you are extremely shameless, you took my father's money, why did you kidnap me, you traitor, you are extremely shameless ! Let me go."

Hearing the young man's hoarse curses, everyone in the court was shocked. Xiao Rong then untied the cloth strips from the young man's eyes. The young man subconsciously covered the dazzling light with his backhand, and then saw the crowd in front of him. Qin Quan, who was in the middle, immediately got up, rushed in front of Qin Quan and said angrily:

"You are a treacherous and cunning person. After taking money from my father, you actually wanted to go back on your word. You said that someone died for me, but you arrested me again!"

"Let go!" Qin Quan angrily pushed the young man away, but Boss Zhou recognized the young man at this moment and exclaimed:

"You bastard was slaughtered by the gods. God opened his eyes and didn't let you escape. Thank God."

The young man looked at the boss of that week, his expression was suffocated, and he turned around to see where he was, his face turned pale immediately, but he was stopped by the guards when he wanted to escape, and he was detained in the lobby.

"Qin Shangshu, don't you plead guilty yet?" Xiao Rong looked at Qin Quan pointedly, and slowly uttered a sentence.

"On the basis of this murderer's accusation, you want the subordinate to plead guilty? Mr. Xiao really knows how to put a hat on." Qin Quan said with his hands behind his back to Xiao Rong: "I am not guilty, I deny it."

"You received bribes to replace the death row prisoner. This is the first crime. In order to prevent this from being exposed, buying a murderer to kill Dong Shilang is the second crime. Killing the murderer to silence him is the third crime." Xiao Rong said in the courtroom. Standing straight on top, although the tone is gentle, it is sonorous and powerful.

"Does Master Xiao want to frame his officials with nothing but white teeth? What about the evidence?" Qin Quan argued in a calm tone, reasoning.

"On the second day after Dong Shilang's death, there was another case of a foreigner being poisoned and murdered. He had no household registration in the capital, but in his home, a letter signed by Qin Shangshu recommending household registration was found, along with a The note issued by the housekeeper of your Shangshufu to receive the money from the bank is on the seventh day of the lunar new year." Xiao Rong said frankly, and handed over the obtained evidence to Jing Zhaoyin.

Jing Zhaoyin carefully looked at the evidence brought by Xiao Rong, and his eyes widened in surprise, not knowing what to do.

When Yuan Yin watched the trial, he felt heavy. Now that the case became clear and the truth came out, the murderer did not escape, but was arrested again. There is no change. He glanced at the small road beside him, turned and left the onlookers crowd.

"My lord, don't you want to look any more?" Xiao Luzi was a little curious.

"It makes people angry. Now that the truth is out, there is no need to read it again." Yuan Yin stepped down the steps and left Jingzhao Yamen with Zhan Feng and a group of guards.

Although there are many spectators gathered in front of the Jingzhao Yamen, it does not delay the preparations for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Beijing, especially in front of the shops that make lanterns. the lamp.

Suddenly, Yuan Yin stopped at the entrance of the street, frowned slightly and looked at the newly opened teahouse in front of him. The young servant at the door greeted the guests with a happy smile. When he saw Yuan Yin, he hurriedly greeted him:

"Young master, our Sifang Teahouse just opened this morning. You might as well come in and have a look, young master. It doesn't matter if you don't drink tea. It's also good to listen to those gentlemen talking about poetry and poetry." The young man smiled and solicited business.

Yuan Yin seemed to recall that Xu Zheng had told him a few days ago that there was a Sifang Tea House opened, and that the foreign students who entered Beijing to take the autumn examination also settled here, and it was even a place where talented people from Beijing and China gathered.

Yuan Yin then nodded, and then ordered the two guards behind him to go to the Jingzhao Yamen to wait for Xiao Rong, while he brought Zhan Feng and Xiao Luzi into the Sifang Teahouse.

The interior furnishings of this Sifang tea house are also strange. A canal extends all the way to the backyard. A few water lilies lie quietly in the water. When you pass the stone bridge at the door, you can see green bamboos planted under the stairs leading to the second floor. The main hall of the tea house is It is spacious and can accommodate more than [-] people to sit and drink tea, while the downstairs is separated by a few elegant seats separated by railings.

There are also famous calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the store, from previous dynasties, from this dynasty, or some masterpieces, poems, or paintings by talented scholars in the capital today.

"How many are sitting upstairs or downstairs?" The servant asked courteously.

Yuan Yin saw that there were already many people sitting in the hall, talking happily, so he chose the partitioned private seat downstairs.

"How many people are you, son?" the servant asked again.

"My son is waiting for someone, let's serve a pot first." Yuan Yin said, and then followed the boy to the private seat, took off his shoes at the entrance, and sat on the floor. chill.

Zhan Feng was standing guard at the entrance, and when the servant brought tea and charcoal fire, Xiao Luzi hurried forward to serve him.

Yuan Yin sniffed the fragrance of tea lightly and listened to the talented people in the hall talking eloquently, which is not a beautiful thing.

"I heard that the Lantern King of the Lantern Festival is from the Chen family, who is a family of lanterns. Have you ever seen that lantern?"

Just as Yuan Yin picked up the teacup, he heard someone in the hall mention something, and then someone echoed: "The Lantern King of the Chen family is the biggest and most beautiful every year, but this year's Lantern King has no rumors."

"The previous year's Lantern Kings were all won by those aristocratic sons and daughters. We poor students, how can we win the Lantern King." One of them said embarrassingly.

"You can't say that. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he opened a public school and divided it into three levels. Even if we are poor students, we will have to sit on an equal footing with those nobles and study together. The autumn test has passed, so we may not be among the top three. It's those sons of the family."

The students talked enthusiastically, and Yuan Yin felt relieved to hear it. It turns out that setting up teaching is also a good thing. It seems that the thief Xiao Rong really cares about the common people.

Yuan Yin drank tea, and suddenly heard those students say again: "I heard that this year, all the famous talents in the capital are invited to participate in the painting boat cruise and guess lantern riddles. Brother Luo, you are considered the leader among our humble students. Can you tell me?" Received the invitation."

As soon as this remark came out, the young man in the far corner of the hall nodded slightly and smiled: "I am stupid, so I can't compare with those talents, but I heard that Mr. Ding'an, who is excellent in calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, was invited to participate in the painting boat Youhe, we only heard about this one person, but we have never seen him, if I am lucky enough to be on the boat, I still want to see the true face of this Mr. Ding'an."

Hearing this, Yuan Yin was slightly taken aback, he heard correctly, Mr. Ding'an was also invited, so Yuan Yin put down his teacup and listened attentively to the conversation of those students.

"It's strange to say that Mr. Ding'an's reputation in the capital is getting higher and higher, but no one has ever seen his true face. It's not known whether he is indifferent to fame and fortune, or just trying to gain fame."

Listening to the student's unflappable tone, Yuan Yin smiled instead of anger. Although he had never seen Mr. Ding'an's real face, he often exchanged letters. So ignore their words.

Hearing the excitement, suddenly the hall became quiet, Yuan Yin was a little curious, and hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw Xiao Rong standing at the door of the tea house, saw Yuan Yin sitting in the private seat, and then walked away come over.

Those students who had started to chat also shut up one after another, just drinking tea by themselves.

"Understand the case?" Yuan Yin raised his eyes, watching Xiao Rong sit down in front of him, Xiao Luzi quickly poured hot tea.

Xiao Rong nodded: "Although this case is complicated, fortunately it was resolved satisfactorily."

"Xiao Qing was so clever that he managed to capture the escaped prisoner." Yuan Yin said with a smile, but the smile was quite meaningful, and Xiao Rong paused for a while holding the teacup. He naturally understood the meaning of Yuan Yin's words , took advantage of the opportunity to put down the teacup, and said slowly:

"Mrs. Qian had been suffering from medicines and stones because the son was imprisoned before. It happened that the eighth day of the lunar new year was Mrs. Qian's birthday. Since then, Mrs. Qian has recovered without medicine. The reason is clear."

Yuan Yin raised his eyes to look at Xiao Rong, but accidentally bumped into Xiao Rong's deep and energetic eyes, which were as deep as a lake, making people sink. Yuan Yin quickly lowered his head and picked up his teacup and said, "What about Qin Quan?"

"As long as the evidence is solid, he cannot deny it. Your Majesty can make a decision after reading the case files." Xiao Rong lowered his voice, reached out to the teapot and poured hot tea for Yuan Yin.

"Zhen... I just heard them explain the Lantern Festival on Rishang, and Mr. Ding'an was also invited for the boat tour. I don't know if you have been invited." Yuan Yin quickly changed the topic.

Xiao Rong put down the teapot in his hand, poured hot water through the small path, and then said: "Well, if your majesty likes it, you might as well go with your majesty tomorrow."

"That's exactly what I mean." Yuan Yin replied with a smile.

Xiao Rong's face darkened, and even his breathing became slightly heavy: "Your Majesty is for stability."

"Of course, I'm not interested in the Lantern King. I just want to see what Mr. Ding'an looks like. It would be great if I can get to know him again." This traitor is easy and easy to say, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy.

It seems that if he wins over Mr. Ding'an well, it will definitely be of great help to deal with the thief Xiao Rong in the future.
