Chapter 328

After Su Chen heard the ins and outs, he frowned. Based on his understanding of Qingqing, it was impossible for him not to use such a heavy hand to break Cha Yuanshang's heart and die. Next, it's all about fighting with fists and kicks, and you can't beat people to death at all.

Unless... that Cha Yuanshang had a congenital disease, such as heart disease, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, etc., and after returning home, it caused complications and led to death.

Without seeing the corpse, he couldn't make an accurate judgment.

Peng Qingqing herself was a little horrified. She beat a dude to death. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, an innocent murderer must pay for his life. Even if it was not murder, self-defense, accidental injury and death, he would have to be imprisoned for 20 years or sent to southern Xinjiang. Exiled.

She is not afraid of death, nor is she afraid of suffering, but, she just got engaged to Su Chen, and her relationship has grown rapidly, and they already have each other in their hearts, so if they are imprisoned like this, or assigned, if there is a stain, how can they still look like Su Chen? Stay together and fulfill the agreement to get married in three years?

"Su Chen...I..."

Peng Qingqing's face was pale, her eyes were dim, and there were tears streaming down her face, which contained strong reluctance and panic.

Su Chen took his hand, smiled slightly, gave her a reassuring look, and comforted her: "Qingqing, don't worry, I believe you won't beat someone to death, there must be something tricky about it."

Hearing that Su Chen trusted her so firmly, Peng Qingqing felt a little relieved, nodded, looked at Peng Zeliang again, and said a little wronged: "Father..."

Peng Zeliang was also worrying. When he was in a state of confusion, how could such a precious girl be caught in prison, tortured and humiliated? That dungeon is not a place for ladies to go.

However, as an official of the imperial court, he is also familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. At present, Qingqing is the most suspected. According to the law, he should be imprisoned immediately, and then wait for the trial, pass the litigant, find witnesses and material evidence, confront on the spot and finally judge.

Since he was a third-rank government official, he was still unable to stop the court's laws. Facing the two major yamen of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, he was still powerless to contend.

"Qingqing, don't worry, as long as you are innocent, father will definitely try his best to remove the suspicion for you." Peng Zeliang's eyes were full of tears, and every word he said was powerful and full of fatherly love.

"I'm sorry, I got into trouble again." Peng Qingqing was very uncomfortable. This is not Runzhou City, and she can do whatever she wants.

At the foot of the emperor, in the capital city of Jinling, there are many officials and relatives of the emperor who are older than her father, and such a big case has been involved just by teaching a dude a lesson.

Although Zha Yuanshang was just a dude with no fame or official position, his father was Zha Wenhui, one of the five ghosts in the imperial court, with a lot of influence. With important positions such as Zhongshu Sheren and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, there are many students, and there is a Marquis in his body. This Cha Yuanshang can be regarded as a young Marquis.

What's more, Cha Yuanshang's eldest brother, Cha Yuanfang, works in the Ministry of Industry. He is a member of the Water Department, one of the four divisions of the Ministry of Works. He also serves as the secretary of King Ji Li Congqian's house. However, the Cha family still has power and has not completely declined.

It is conceivable that after Peng Qingqing killed Zha Wenhui's youngest son, apart from the Zha family's residence, the Song party in the court and Zha Wenhui's disciples would all jump out to speak out for the Zha family, and the situation became much more serious.

Cao Yongqin was originally a member of the Song Party, and he teased with a smirk: "Master Peng, although you are the governor of Jiangning, but the Cha family has reported this matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, so the Jiangning government has no right to do so." Excuse me, even if she is the daughter of your family, if she breaks the law, she must go through the Tang law procedure, temporarily detain her and return to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and she will be tried at another day, do you have any objections to this?"

Peng Zeliang endured his anger and grievances, nodded slightly, and said righteously: "Of course, as an official of the court, Peng must follow the law and will never bend the law for personal gain. Qingqing can go back with you, but in the open trial Before, please recite it on the face of the old man, and don't use lynching to make things difficult."

During the incident, Liu Jin from the Ministry of Punishment smiled slowly: "Lord Peng, please rest assured, we are all officials of the imperial court. When no one's relatives or friends are in trouble and commit crimes, those methods will not be used against Lingmei."

Peng Zeliang nodded slightly. His pleading was actually just a hint, and he would not really rely on the promises of these two people.

Because there are more high-ranking officials in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, there are people from the Song Party, and naturally there are also people from the Sun Party. The ones he needs to plead at the moment should be Han Shilang and Yan Shilang.

Some police officers stepped forward and put Peng Qingqing in shackles.

Peng Qingqing, who is very skilled in martial arts, did not resist at this time. She knew very well that once she made a move to resist and escaped, she would have pleaded guilty and would be on the verge of death.

She didn't want to be charged with such a crime, and she didn't want to implicate her father and Su Chen.

Su Chen watched his fiancée being put in shackles, feeling pity and worry in his heart, but his face remained calm. Since the incident happened, he had to consider how to rescue him, and he must not mess up his position and mind.

Before leaving, Cao Yongqin smiled at Peng Zeliang and said, "Master Peng, there is one more thing. The Cha family is currently in the middle of their anger. I heard that Yuanwai Lang, Cha Yuanfang, has already written a note and wants to go to the Jinluan Palace to sue for an imperial certificate." Now, let me impeach you for your faults of persuading women to commit crimes and lax parenting, and think about how to deal with it yourself."

Peng Zeliang's expression changed again. He, the Jiangning governor, was about to be impeached. It seemed that someone planned to expand the matter, and by the way, he, the Jiangning governor, would be removed from his position and someone else would be put in place.

The position of Jiangning Fu Yin seems to be from the third rank, but he has great power. As long as he is stable and has been in operation for a few years, he will be able to know all about Jinling City's affairs.

In history, Zhao Guangyi was the prefect of Kaifeng for ten years. He controlled all affairs in the capital, almost emptied the emperor, and made many imperial orders stop outside the imperial city. It can be seen that the importance of this position, in addition to In addition to some Song Party and New Party officials, even King Zheng and King Ji coveted this position and wished they could hold it concurrently.

Peng Zeliang being pushed to this position is equivalent to being roasted on a fire. Unless real gold is not afraid of fire, otherwise, if the ability is slightly weak, it will be burned and buried, becoming a pawn for the party to fight for sacrifice.

"Don't worry Mr. Cao, Mr. Peng will deal with it himself."

Cao Yongqin smiled coldly, and waved to the policemen to take Peng Qingqing away. He and Liu Jin walked out of Peng's mansion hand in hand.

Su Chen went all the way to the gate of Peng's mansion, seeing Qingqing being escorted into a carriage, he felt very uncomfortable, he must think of a way to help Qingqing get out of trouble, and find out the cause of Zha Yuanshang's death; otherwise, wait for Qingqing It is the calamity of the prison, and the severe torture in the dungeon of the Ministry of Justice.

Peng Zeliang stood at the door with a sad face, turned around and stared at Su Chen, and shouted: "Your fiancée has been taken away, you must find a way to rescue her as soon as possible, and don't let my daughter suffer any grievances, otherwise, I will never end with you!"

"..." Su Chen was a little speechless. Is the father-in-law trying to shirk responsibility?
