It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 486: Those who disrespect the imperial authority should be executed

Pu Jinshan and Yuan Heshuo couldn't help laughing, and shook their heads, refusing to continue writing. If the trial continued like this, with just a few sentences going back and forth, how could the case be tried clearly, and how could the lost gold and silver be recovered?

Until this moment, Yang Xianrong was still not in a hurry. She asked someone to replace the wine in the jug with new one and continued to warm the wine, letting the aroma of the wine float in the air.

Hong Tianquan swallowed again, widened his eyes and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Yang Xianrong looked at him, with a cold light in his dark eyes, "Okay, take the person away."

The jailer did not hesitate and took the man back to the prison.

Now, there were only a few of them in the room, and many civil and military officials were standing outside the door. All these pairs of eyes looked at Yang Xianrong, all with inquiry and disdain, and some even whispered.

Sima Chi moved again and wanted to talk to Yang Xianrong.

But Cui Xi stretched out her hand to stop her.

"This case will be solved soon." Yang Xianrong's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for the people in the room to hear. "I am here to try a case, but I can't do it in a place like this, right?"

"So what do you want to do?" Pu Jinshan frowned, "We don't have time to play with you. Do you know how many things are going on outside? Do you know that there is a war? Do you know..."

"I know you can't try this case, so you pushed it to the emperor." Yang Xianrong looked at Pu Jinshan, "If you could get Hong Tianquan to talk and tell us the whereabouts of the stolen silver, wouldn't you have already written a memorial and proudly announced it to the world as a great achievement?"

Yang Xianrong was not polite at all and directly retorted.

"What do you know! You are just a girl in the harem!" Pu Jinshan yelled, his face flushed.

Yuan Heshuo tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Master Pu, this is Queen Hui."

"What's wrong with Queen Hui? Can you make a fool of us? It's been three days! Aren't we supposed to solve the case? Aren't we supposed to make the prisoner speak? What's wrong? The prisoner has been sent back to jail! What are they going to do? What are they going to do?" Pu Jinshan was so angry that he was talking without thinking and even wanted to slam the table.

"Master Pu, watch your words and actions!" Zhang Liangchu, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and spoke directly. Because the room was too small, Qin Chaoge could only stand at the door, but he had already walked in with his tall figure.

"What's the matter? You won't let people speak, right?" Pu Jinshan became even angrier.

Sima Chi glanced at Yang Xianrong, who showed no fear. He wondered what he, the emperor, should do. While hesitating, Yang Xianrong suddenly spoke again: "Pu Jinshan, when the late emperor was alive, I didn't see you working so hard, did I?"

"You're talking nonsense!" This time, Pu Jinshan was completely furious. He threw the pen on the ground and jumped up and down. "Is there any day that I don't work hard for the Jin Dynasty? Without me, can the Shangshu Office continue to operate?"

"Really?" Yang Xianrong looked at him with a sneer on her lips, and even the white jade earrings on her ears flashed a cold light.

"What do you want to say? Who do you think you are!" Pu Jinshan couldn't stand to see Yang Xianrong like this, and pointed at her, "How can you do this in the court? You should have been buried alive with me!" "Yes." Yang Xianrong was still sneering.

Qin Chaoge didn't care anymore, and quickly seized the opportunity to push Pu Jinshan to the ground. For a moment, there were few people in the room, and there was no chaos, but the civil and military officials outside and Pu Jinshan's subordinates had already started to stir. Some people even wanted to rush in to save Pu Jinshan.

Sima Chi's red-clad spearmen finally reacted and blocked the door tightly, not letting anyone in.

"He has no respect for the imperial authority and is committing treason. He can be executed." Yang Xianrong was not vague at all and glanced at Sima Chi.

Sima Chi was very nervous and still a little hesitant, refusing to nod.

"The emperor is indeed kindhearted." Yang Xianrong smiled again. She still had the small gold medal and the little jade rabbit in her hand, and threw them all at Sima Chi's feet. "The Sima family still rules the world, and I am the widow of Emperor Xiaohui. How can I allow you to trample on me like this? Besides, I am here to try a case. You are making a fuss before the trial is over? Do you take the emperor seriously? What else do you want to do? Are you going to rebel? Are you plotting treason? Do you want to change another emperor?"

These words were so cruel that everyone was so frightened that they dared not say a word, and some people even slowly backed away.

Yuan Heshuo was a little nervous in such an atmosphere, and hurried to smooth things over, "No, no, Queen Hui, please don't be angry. The case has not been concluded yet, please continue."

"You want to see the emperor and me make a fool of ourselves? Haha, today I will make Hong Tianquan plead guilty." Yang Xianrong looked at the people outside the door and chuckled, "In the future, you should respect the emperor and be loyal to the Sima family."

Sima Chi was very nervous when he saw the restless scene, fearing that his throne would be in jeopardy. But when he heard Yang Xianrong defending her imperial power, he couldn't help but shed tears.

But everyone else remained silent.

"Alright, let's get ready to go to court." Yang Xianrong stood up. "How can we try a case in a place like this? Of course we have to go to the lobby, where the majesty of the royal family lies."

Yuan Heshuo bowed slightly and asked, "There is no suitable place in the prison..."

"Then let's go to the main hall of Hanyue Palace. It should be OK there, right? Aren't you all attending the morning court there? If that doesn't work, then go to Xianyang Palace. It's empty there too." There was a hint of sarcasm in Yang Xianrong's beautiful eyes. "The tablet of Emperor Xiaohui is still on display in Xianyang Palace. Let him see it too. He loves to watch the excitement the most."

In any case, these civil and military officials of the Jin Dynasty had experienced the previous political disputes and changes, and kept many things to themselves. Now that Yang Xianrong had said this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Let's go to my Hanyue Palace." Sima Chi finally spoke, because he saw his father-in-law Liang Fen standing at the door and speaking in lip language, "You ministers, please follow me."

Yang Xianrong glanced at him again and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is right, then let's take the suspect over as well. Oh, Lord Pu can also go over and take a look first."

This time Sima Chi was much smarter. He waved his hand and asked a few red-clad spearmen to come over. They tied up Pu Jinshan and took him to Hanyue Palace.

He turned his head and looked at Yang Xianrong again, but he only saw Yang Xianrong's back, the small white silk flower on her head, and the very eye-catching golden hairpin.

That was the "jewelry" Sima Zhong had melted a lot of gold to make for her. It was very heavy, so this thin woman had to keep her posture and move forward slowly. But suddenly, there was a little light beside her ears, which made her dizzy again.
