Chapter 384 Intense Argument in Court ([-])
"Ahem, Qing'er, do you have anything to say?"

Looking at Hong Qing's face as calm as water, the prince was immediately annoyed, nothing else, just because in his opinion, Hong Qing is really a monster, she is not big, but she does big things well, Of course, the troubles are not small, but every time he always wins by surprise, since he entered the dynasty, he has never been defeated. If it is possible, the crown prince would not want him to have a chance to show his face. Master Jiu had already carried Hong Qing out in court. Although the crown prince was unwilling, he had nothing to do. He could only fake cough twice and ask a question with a slight frown.

"If you go back to His Royal Highness, the nephew thinks that this case should be retried!"

Hearing the crown prince's roll call, Hong Qing walked into the hall unhurriedly, bowed her body, and gave an absolutely affirmative answer in her tone.

"Ok?"

Even though he knew that Hong Qing would not be on his side, the prince couldn't help but burst into anger after hearing what Hong Qing said, and he snorted angrily with a gloomy expression, staring at Hong Qing with fiery eyes. Fang, actually intends to use the posture of a half-lord to force Hongqing to submit.

Cut, sample, worthless stuff!
Over the years, Hong Qing had never seen such a big scene, how could she be truly overwhelmed by the power of the prince, she despised him with extreme disdain in her heart, but her face was indifferent, just like that Qingyun stood still indifferently, showing no intention of giving in at all.

"Why did Qingbeile make such a statement? You must know that the case has been settled by three parties, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain. I can overthrow it with a single sentence."

Seeing that Hong Qing was not moved by the prince's power, Qi Shiwu who was standing aside couldn't hold back anymore, so he criticized from the side.

"There is so much ironclad evidence? Ben Baylor only knows that you have violated the law by enforcing the law, covering up the culprit, and perverting the law to conceal it. This crime is unforgivable!"

For the prince who is a half-lord, Hong Qing can be dismissive from the bottom of his heart, but in the general public, he must be respectful and polite. He didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't show him any sympathy, so he scolded him angrily without any scruples.

"You... Qingbeile, don't want to spit out blood. The official is ordered to try the case according to the law. The evidence is all there. The facts are as mountainous. If you humiliate this official in public like this, you are deceiving the emperor!"

Although Qi Shiwu can be regarded as a successful person in nourishing his spirit, his face was flushed red by Hong Qing's undisguised accusations. In his anger, he first slammed Hong Qing's big hat of "bullying the emperor", and then Kneeling down on the ground with a "plop", he kowtowed several times to the prince. The villain, choked up in words, complained first: "Your Highness, the old minister has been wronged. Since he entered the official position in the fourth year of Kangxi, the old minister has always been conscientious and conscientious. Dare to make the slightest mistake, but I will do my best in all official duties, and I dare not do anything illegal and out of courtesy, and now, I am trying to hear the case, but I have been framed to this point, the old minister is wronged, and I ask Your Highness to make the decision for the old minister."

When Qi Shiwu cried and complained like this, Yinfeng's originally gloomy complexion turned dark to the extreme, but it still didn't flare up, nothing else, because Hongqing was the imperial envoy who personally experienced the case of the emperor's tomb, The crown prince was not sure whether Hong Qing was holding the hole cards in his hand, if it really happened and Hong Qing refuted it in court, he would lose all his face, but now Qi Shiwu is here again. There was a lot of grievances there, and as the prince of Jian Guo, Yinfeng couldn't just sit idly by, and in a dilemma, he was so suffocated that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Qing'er, don't make such false claims. You must know that the court is a place of testimonials. Without evidence, it is illegal and rude to ascribe a bad name to the ministers. It is not what a child of my heavenly family should do!"

Just when the prince was restless and helpless, he saw the fourth master come out proudly, scolding Hong Qing with a righteous face.

Hey, this old guy really jumped out, begging for a fight!
For the fourth master's strong appearance, Hong Qing had already expected it, and knew that the reason why she helped the prince was actually just a gesture, not a sincere desire to join hands with the prince to the end. To be honest, the four These actions of the Lord are not for the prince to see, but for the old man far away in the south of the Yangtze River, in order to show his true character as a lonely minister, but Hong Qing absolutely cannot tolerate him stepping on his head To express oneself, to fight back strongly is the proper meaning of the question.

"How does the fourth uncle know that the nephew has no evidence in hand, and assumes so, but he doesn't know what his intentions are?"

Since the fourth master wanted to stand out, Hong Qing didn't intend to show him any face, so he looked serious, first politely bowed to the fourth master as a junior, and then asked slowly.

"Om..."

Hongqing's etiquette is considerate, but what he said was a rebuke to his heart. If the fourth master didn't give a correct answer, he might lose all his face. As soon as he came out, all the courtiers in the hall suddenly burst into laughter.

"Qing'er's statement is wrong. Whether there is evidence is not what you say. Even if there is, it will have to go through the trial to know the truth. How can anyone insult the court officials in public like this before the trial? This is sincere Not what a gentleman should do!"

Fourth Master had already expected Hong Qing's reaction before he stood up, but he never expected Hong Qing to be so merciless, his complexion turned pale in an instant, and the embarrassment in his heart surged wildly, but He didn't lose his composure, but accused him solemnly.

"It's a joke, it doesn't matter, does it have to be decided by the fourth brother, whether you are the prince or the emperor, hey, the toad yawned, what a big tone!"

Fourth Master's answer can't be said to be completely unreasonable, but it is obvious that he is avoiding the important and paying attention to the minor. Hong Qing doesn't care, just smiles indifferently, and is not in a hurry to refute, but the tenth master who is standing aside can't see it, and sneers, Without any scruple, he ridiculed fourth master.

"Hey, tenth brother said that well, His Royal Highness didn't say anything, and fourth brother jumped out to be a villain by himself. I really don't know how good he is."

Ninth Master also has no affection for Fourth Master at all, so he will not let go of this great opportunity to humiliate Fourth Master, no, as soon as Tenth Master finished speaking, he followed closely like singing a double reed road.

"Hmph, my brother just said that everything must be handled according to the rules. The case has never been retried. The so-called evidence is just unconfirmed news. How can it be used as evidence? What's wrong with this?"

Although the fourth master's city mansion is as deep as the sea, he is not a clay figurine after all. After being humiliated in public by the nine and ten masters, the anger in his heart will inevitably rise, and his face will be as black as the bottom of a pot, but it's the end. Er still didn't explode on the spot, just snorted coldly, and defended himself with suppressed anger.

"Fourth Uncle said it well. Evidence that has not been tried is not a big deal, but if it has been tried, there should be no more objections? I wonder if my nephew misunderstood Fourth Uncle's original intention?"

The fourth master's words were obviously irrational, the ninth and tenth masters naturally refused to admit it, and Qi Qi opened his mouth to ridicule the fourth master again, but Hong Qing couldn't just sit back and watch this discussion turn into a one-off The farce of the quarrel, hastily interrupted from the side.

"As it should be."

The fourth master had always been quite jealous of Hong Qing, so he was taken aback when he heard this question, and after hesitating for a moment, he gave an affirmative answer.

"That's right. My nephew really tried this case when he was in Dongling. If Qi Shangshu hadn't forcibly interrupted and insisted on going back to Beijing for retrial, the case would have been known to the world. Now, Qi Shangshu is a muddled official. It is a joke in the world to try a muddled case indiscriminately and produce a ridiculous case. As the former imperial envoy to investigate the case, my nephew is naturally responsible for clarifying the case. Why can't I question it, and ask my fourth uncle to give my nephew an explanation?"

The reason why Hongqing agreed to Qi Shiwu's ridiculous proposal at the beginning was to join forces with Eighth Master to set up a trick to overthrow the prince, so she had already saved her hand. Although the confession submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice was true, Hongqing herself kept There is a record, and at this moment, when she heard the answer from the fourth master, Hong Qing immediately smiled, stretched out her hand, took out a stack of confessions from her wide sleeve, held it in her hand, shook it gently, and refused to let her go. The ground wants the fourth master to admit his death in court.

"Brother Prince, I think that since this case is in dispute, it should be handed over to the Holy Tribunal. It is useless to argue, so I ask Brother Prince to make a clear decision."

The fourth master was not good at eloquence, seeing Hongqing's sharp words, he didn't want to argue with Hongqing anymore, so he simply ignored Hongqing's provocative and contemptuous gaze, turned around, and looked at Hongqing. Looking at the prince, he bowed and spoke sincerely.

"Well, the fourth younger brother is really right. Let's discuss this here first. This palace will take action on its own. After Huang Ama's order is made, it will not be too late to make a decision."

Seeing that the situation was not right, the crown prince had long since lost the courage and confidence to proceed further. Now that the fourth master's steps were passed, he was happy to go up and down the donkey, so he nodded approvingly. After explaining the facts, he planned to retreat to the apse.

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, my nephew still has something to report!"

If the prince is really allowed to slip away, then the turmoil caused by this case will subside for the most part. If the old man makes another unprincipled protection, it doesn't take much, as long as he doesn't give the imperial edict for a long time, the day lily will be desolate. It's almost over, once the prince is relieved, it will be Hong Qing's turn to be unlucky, in view of this, Hong Qing is unwilling to let it go, and before the prince gets up, Hong Qing is already arrogant A voice reported.

"Ok?"

After being yelled at by Hong Qing, the butt that the prince had just raised had to fall back on the chair, and he was very annoyed at Hong Qing's stubbornness, but under the circumstances of such a big discussion, Hong Qing had to speak There was nothing I could do about it, so I had no choice but to say something reluctantly, which was barely accepted by Hong Qing's request.
