Concubine's true colors

Chapter 756
Xiao Jinxuan's calm reassurance seemed to make the crying girl on the ground very astonished.

Because this woman never thought that in Xiao Jinxuan's capacity, she would be willing to kneel down and talk to her in such an approachable manner.

Especially at this meeting, the shopkeeper of Tianxi Zhai also testified at the side, and handed the money Xiao Jinxuan gave him to the girl.

Knowing that she had indeed misunderstood Xiao Jinxuan, although the girl's face flashed with shame, she cried even louder.

Seeing her appearance and Zhou Xianchen who was standing aside as a servant, he felt that this little girl who was about his age was really making trouble out of no reason.

Therefore, he not only helped Xiao Jinxuan up, but also walked in front of her and said:

"My lady, now I have figured out what is right and what is wrong, and my regent palace has never used power for personal gain. You must apologize to the princess for what you said just now, otherwise, based on your contradictory rudeness, it is not an exaggeration to arrest you and send you to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. .”

Zhou Xianchen's words were originally intended to scare the girl, so that the other party would stop crying, and attracted the surrounding people to watch, as if Xiao Jinxuan had done something to the other party.

But who would have thought that the girl did stop crying when she heard the words "Punishment Prison", but suddenly stood up from the ground, and shouted at Zhou Xianchen inexplicably:
"Why are you a young servant who is more vicious than the regent princess? Isn't it just the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice? My brother is now in prison for wrongdoing. You can't think that I, Ning Xiaodie, is a coward. Anyway, now I am an orphan without my elder brother. It was my fault to contradict the princess, you boy, send me to the prison. At least I can stay with the elder brother, anyway, I have nothing to do, so I just die in the prison."

This girl named Ning Xiaodie rushed towards Zhou Xianchen as soon as she finished speaking, even yelling to him to tie her up and send her to the prison.

Many people died without pleading guilty, and this was the first time Zhou Xianchen saw that he wanted to go to the cell.

So instead, he stood there in a daze, staring and wondering what to do with Ning Xiaodie.

Because Ning Xiaodie and Zhou Xianchen are about the same age, and this girl has a bold and outgoing personality.

Therefore, when Zhou Xianchen had no airs of an emperor, he was really flustered by this little girl, and couldn't stop backing away.

As for Xiao Jinxuan at the side, she frowned slightly at this moment, and after thinking about it, she said:
"If my concubine remembers correctly, the official secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is Chen Shuhang, who is the nephew of the Empress Dowager's family. Miss Xiaodie said that her brother was imprisoned wrongly, so she is saying that Mr. Chen handled the case unfairly. This Chen Shuhang can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, Miss Xiaodie needs to know the truth that misfortune comes from the mouth, if your words are spread, I am afraid that the girl will really have to go to the prison of the Ministry of punishment."

And when Xiao Jinxuan called out Chen Shuhang's name, Ning Xiaodie was no longer bullying Zhou Xianchen, but hatred flashed in his eyes, and he said with a choked voice:
"The princess is right. It was Chen Gouguan who put my elder brother in prison. But Xiaodie didn't wrong him. Because this dog official coveted my family's ancestral inkstone, he wronged my elder brother as the remnant of the Xue family's rebellion case." , tortured him severely and put him in a prison. Not only did he take away the inkstone, but he even set my house on fire. Just because the other party was a relative of the emperor, no one dared to write the pleadings for Xiaodie, Dali Temple I dare not accept my case. Poor my brother has been locked up for half a month, and he will be beheaded with the condemned criminals in autumn."

Thinking of the great changes in the family, the elder brother who depended on each other was wronged and imprisoned, and would die soon, Ning Xiaodie's tears flowed down again not long after he stopped.

But this girl is also smart, seeing that because of Xiao Jinxuan's status, more and more people will gather around.

That's why she purposely said the words of being wronged and wronged just now very loudly, in order to let the public know about Chen Shuhang's criminal deeds.

Immediately afterwards, Ning Xiaodie saw that Xiao Jinxuan had no intention of leaving or reprimanding her after listening to her words.

Immediately, the little girl saw a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she knew how to seize the opportunity, immediately fell to her knees, kowtowed to Xiao Jinxuan and begged:

"Wang Concubine hangs down the curtain, Xiaodie's rebellion against rudeness, you can punish me however you want. But please avenge my brother and give him justice. Our brothers and sisters depend on each other and have no one to depend on since we were young. Relationship. The regent is just and strict, if the princess is willing to report this matter to the lord, then my brother's life will be saved. When Xiaodie becomes a slave, she will definitely repay your kindness."

Xiao Jinxuan saw through Ning Xiaodie's little thought of deliberately inciting the common people to discuss, and kneeling in public to force her to refuse.

It's just that although this little girl is quite clever, she is still a poor person after all.

Especially since Chen Shuhang was the empress dowager's nephew, if the other party really cheated for personal gain, once it was found out, it would be a big blow to the empress Chen's party.

So Xiao Jinxuan smiled lightly, stretched out her hand to help the flattered Ning Xiaodie up, and said calmly:
"It's just a mere Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. If he really uses his official position to bully the people and frame others for crimes at will. Then there is no need to alarm the prince about this matter. Don't even try to keep his black hat today. Ning Xiaodie, this concubine will go with you. Ministry of Punishment, we will meet Mr. Chen."

The ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that the harem should not interfere in politics. As a princess, Xiao Jinxuan had no right to dismiss officials.

But don't forget, this will be by her side, as well as Zhou Xianchen, the real king of a country.

Even if the other party has not yet been in power, if it is true that officials are corrupt and evil, Zhou Xianchen, as the emperor, is understandably punished severely, and no one can raise any objections.

And when Xiao Jinxuan winked at Zhou Xianchen cryptically, the other party also understood what she meant, and immediately followed behind, and headed straight for the Ministry of Punishment as a servant.

In fact, not only Xiao Jinxuan wants to suppress Queen Chen's party, but Zhou Xianchen also wants to see whether the relatives of his mother's mother's family, the Chen family, rely on their status as relatives of the emperor, whether they are really as lawless as Chen Xiaodie said ,audacious in the extreme.

As for the people around, they also heard Xiao Jinxuan's words very clearly.

As for Chen Shuhang, the Minister of Punishment who was nicknamed "Little Overlord", they also wanted to see if the concubine of the Prince Regent's House could really make decisions for the common people.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan and the others, accompanied by guards, headed for the Ministry of Justice in a mighty manner, and countless people followed behind, discussing and preparing to go and watch.

When Xiao Jinxuan really got out of the carriage and stood in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, there were as many as five or six hundred people watching.

When Bai Chu clarified Xiao Jinxuan's identity with the gatekeeper of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the other party was also very frightened by the crowd of countless people watching, turned around and hurried into the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the matter.

As for Xiao Jinxuan, she was waiting outside the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After all, it was only here that the onlookers could hear Chen Shuhang's lawlessness clearly.

Then use the mouths of these people to spread the matter. For the Queen Mother Chen's party, their reputation will plummet in the imperial capital, and they will inevitably be severely affected.

Xiao Jinxuan was not asked to wait for a long time, and then saw a 24, rather young, thin man wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Punishment, walking out of the government office with his head raised.

When he got close, he squinted at Xiao Jinxuan for a few times, and then he didn't say hello, let alone showing any respect, instead he raised his chin and said with a sneer:
"The regent disrespected the queen mother and aunt in the court, and now the queen concubine is a generation of concubines, and she even ran to my Ministry of Punishment to make a splash. Don't forget that my majesty, Emperor Wen of Zhou Dynasty, is the king of a country. He is the cousin of the official. Therefore, no matter what the reason for this trip is, I still ask you to leave immediately, otherwise you will disturb the order of this government office. Not only will I arrest all these troublemakers, but you will be the regent princess. , I, Chen Shuhang, do not recommend inviting you into a prison as a guest."

Chen Hou and Zhou Xianyu, the mother and son, are now in a relationship of fire and water.

Therefore, as the empress dowager's nephew, Chen Shuhang naturally would not have a good face towards Xiao Jinxuan, the princess regent, and even instinctively resisted.

Coupled with the fact that the Chen family's men are thin, Chen Shuhang is highly valued and loved by the Empress Dowager, and he was ranked second-rank Shangshu at a young age, and this also contributed to his arrogant and unrestrained character.

As for Chen Shuhang's threatening words, Xiao Jinxuan, who has never experienced any storms, would care, so she immediately said sarcastically:

"Your Majesty Chen is really a great official. It's just that your prison in the Ministry of Criminal Justice is a bit small. I'm afraid you don't have the skills to invite me. And this time I came here because there is a girl who has no way to sue my concubine. Uphold justice for her, saying that her elder brother was wronged and imprisoned in the sky prison because of an inkstone, and the person behind this scene is you, Chen Shuhang. This Ministry of Criminal Justice specializes in judging all unjust, false and wrong cases in the world, even if you are the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. law, the case must be filed for trial.”

In fact, as soon as Chen Shuhang came out, he saw Ning Xiaodie, and even guessed why Xiao Jinxuan came here.

But with the backing of the Queen Mother, he has always been used to being confident, otherwise he would not be known as a tyrant in Changping City by word of mouth.

So after Chen Shuhang heard Xiao Jinxuan's words, Fan Fei didn't panic in the slightest. Instead, in order to beat the regent's palace, he said arrogantly:

"I said, my lord, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice may indeed not be able to accommodate a great Buddha like you. But you are not qualified to stand up for others here. After all, my aunt is the current empress dowager, and my cousin is the emperor of the ninth five. I Chen The family members are the relatives of the emperor, and the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty are determined by our own family members. Therefore, if we want to judge, we should ask the regent to come here. Otherwise, whoever the official says is a traitor will be beheaded according to the law. It's my Chen Shuhang's rules, Princess Changde, you can hear it clearly now, but what can you do to me."

Maybe Chen Shuhang might not be so arrogant at ordinary times, it's just that he is hostile to the people in the Prince Regent's House, so his words are too aggressive, and it's just to deliberately anger Xiao Jinxuan.

But Xiao Jinxuan's personality was restrained, so she would lose her sense of proportion because of a few words, but Zhou Xianchen who was accompanying her would really be unable to listen to it anymore.

He, who has always been kind-hearted, rushed forward and smashed the petals of the pastry filling in Chen Shuhang's head and face without saying a word.

He even stretched out his hand and pointed at the other party angrily, and reprimanded him severely:

"What about the royal relatives? I really feel humiliated to have relatives like you, and I am ashamed to treat the people of Dazhou. Chen Shuhang, your mere nephew of the empress mother's family, dares to call me brothers and sisters, but Shicai even disrespected my sister-in-law. The other party is the princess. , You are a subordinate official who has no dignity. And you regard my Dazhou laws and regulations as nothing, today I will punish you severely, and I will never let you, a fish and meat official like you, continue to get away with it."
