Compared with other places, the biggest feature of the capital city is that it has a large population, many high-ranking officials, many dandies, many struggles, and many cases. In contrast, the two counties of the capital city have many more officials and subordinates than other upper counties.

After intense questioning and recording of confessions, Dou Qing and Qu Tugai have understood the ins and outs of the murder case of the drunken man. Although Yuwen Zhiji was burned beyond recognition and a domestic slave named Yuwen Liao died,

They were the ones who took the initiative to stir up trouble, and when Yuwen Zhiji was burned, he drew his sword and slashed Yang Ji first, and when Yuwen Liao was killed, he almost killed Yang Ji. They were not innocent victims at all.

On the contrary, Yang Ji who burned Yuwen Zhiji and killed Yu Wenliao was an innocent victim no matter how you look at it, and he did not act inappropriately. Yuwen Zhiji was only burned because he did not chop him, and Yu Wenliao was burned.

The reason why he was killed was because he cut a big hole in Yang Ji's chest. Yang Ji rose up to resist when his life was threatened, which was both reasonable and reasonable.

What's even more rare is that all the witnesses agreed with one another. Even if they were interrogated in isolation, the final testimony was that Yu Wenzhiji struck first, and Yang Ji was almost forced to fight back.

Logically speaking, the facts of the case are very clear, and the county government should let Yang Ji and others go. However, everyone has their own version of the origin and reasons of the case. Some people say that Yu Wenzhiji was motivated by sex, while others say that Yu Wenzhiji was motivated by sex.

Persecute Yang Ji's friends; some say that Yuwen Zhiji gave away wealth to others

Gui, the other party did not accept it, which made Yuwen Zhiji angry and angry. Because Yang Ji took Liang Zi, he finally eased it, but how he struck with the sword later is unknown; some people say that Yang Ji took away something important from Yu Wenzhiji.

Things, this made Yu Wen's wisdom and ferocity become more powerful.

Precisely because the causes of the case were inconsistent, Dou Qing could not convict Yang Ji of innocence. Assuming that Yang Ji had robbed Yu Wen Zhiji of something important, it would be normal for Yu Wen Zhiji to draw his sword and strike someone in anger.

If this is the case, the fault lies in Yang Ji's "forced robbery" first, which caused the subsequent events to happen.

Dou Qing agreed with this inference in his heart, because no matter how bastard Yuwen Zhiji was, he did not have the courage to draw his sword and kill the prince. From this, it can be seen that Yang Ji must have taken something away.

What just gave him a headache was that after witnesses said that Yang Ji had taken away some letters from Yuwen Zhiji, the entourage next to him obviously saw them, but they refused to say what they were. There are probably two possibilities. One is

The content of the letter is extremely unfavorable to Yuwen Zhiji, and secondly, it is waiting for Yuwen's statement.

"County magistrate, Yuwen Zhiji is awake." Qu Tugai hurriedly walked into the county government hall and saluted Dou Qing.

Dou Qing quickly asked: "What did he say?"

"He lost one eye, and his throat was burned to the point that he could not speak." Qu Tugai handed a confession to Dou Qing and said, "This is the confession he reluctantly wrote. He said that King Wei had snatched

He gave him something extremely precious, but despite all his good words, King Wei refused to return it, so he was forced to draw his sword; as for what it was, he refused to say anything, and he also said that he did not know King Wei."

Dou Qing sneered at Yu Wenzhiji's argument that he didn't know Yang Ji. While taking the confession and watching it, he sneered: "If ordinary people say that they don't know King Wei, I believe it. But Yuwen Zhiji is not only from the top dignitaries.

He is a big bastard, and he is related to King Wei. Now he actually says that he doesn’t know him. Isn’t this lying? If he is blind, are we blind too? "

Although this was a bit unpleasant to hear, Qu Tugai nodded in agreement and said, "I think so too. The reason why Yuwen Zhiji said he didn't know King Wei was just to defend his attack on the prince. But then

It’s an excuse and it’s also weak.”

If Yuwen Zhiji knew that the two of them took it for granted that he knew Yang Ji, he would be so angry that he would faint again.

Although he and Yang Ji are relatives and are dandies, they are not the same dandy at all. Moreover, Yang Ji and his mother rarely visit relatives. Even if they do, they go to the former princess's mansion and the current princess's mansion. He Yu Wenzhi

How can I get a chance to meet Yang Ji?

Yang Ji is neither a beautiful woman who has conquered the country nor a founding emperor with gold, silver and jewels. Why does he have to know Yang Ji?

If you don’t know Yang Ji, what’s the surprise?

Dou Qing read the crooked confession, then carefully read the witness's confession, and expressed his judgment to Qu Tugai: "Judging from the fighting process and results of the murder case, Yuwen Zhiji brought the blame on himself."

; But everything has a cause, and the cause is obviously the object that King Wei seized."

After pondering for a long time, he continued to deduce: "Prince Wei's family has a fortune of tens of millions, which is as rich as any other country. He will definitely not rob it of items such as land deeds. However, he did rob it. This is enough to show the value of this item, which makes him not hesitate to use it as a prince."

In order to take it back, Yuwen Zhiji deliberately pretended not to know King Wei and went to kill King Wei, which further illustrates the preciousness of this thing. What did the Prime Minister of Qutu County think?"

"I have no objection to the county magistrate's judgment." Qu Tugai looked at Dou Qing and expressed his judgment: "I think this thing is very likely to involve Duke Xu Guogong. After all, Yu Wenzhi and himself have nothing to do with it.

What is it worth for King Wei to grab?"

Dou Qing nodded, but his mood was heavy. The items involving Yu Wenshu must be something great.

Maybe it will be another political storm sweeping the world.

What should he do in this situation?

Help Yang Ji with Yu Wenshu? No!

Helping Yu Wenshu with Yang Ji? Not even possible!

Doing business first? It will definitely offend Yang Ji or Yu Wenshu to death, and Dou Qing cannot afford to care about anyone.

Thinking about it carefully, he was quite envious of the opposite Chang'an County. Although there were no fewer cases than Daxing County, the criminals and suspects he faced were all low-class. Even if the rich and powerful children went to West City and nearby neighborhoods to cause trouble,

But those people are all small characters who can't survive here.

How is it like here in Daxing County, where there are always relatives of the emperor, ministers of the country, and children of generals?

As a prince, Yang Ji was a troublemaker. Not long ago he had a fight with King Yuzhang, and today he had a fight with Yuwen Zhiji or Yuwen Shumao.

Each time, the two parties were equally powerful, making it difficult for him to please his old cousin.

Dou Qing thought over and over, weighed and weighed, and was in a dilemma. He was so depressed that he wanted to curse! He wished he could resign now and quit being this disgusting magistrate of Daxing County. However, the case had already been taken over, and it was difficult to resign at this time.

While he was worrying, there was suddenly a noise in front of the government office.

Dou Qing was in a bad mood and couldn't help but said angrily: "Who is making noise outside?"

A clerk outside the door ran in and said breathlessly: "Report to the county magistrate, county magistrate, and Princess Wei to visit the prison."

After Dou Qing heard this, his heart suddenly became lively.

Princess Wei Xiao Ying came here for her husband. If she wanted to be a favor and take the opportunity to let Yang Ji go home, even Yu Wenshu wouldn't be able to say anything. After all, Xiao Ying is not only Princess Wei, but also the queen's sister and the emperor's.

Sister-in-law, we can’t help but sell this little face, right?

Besides, Yang Ji's status is his biggest obstacle, so he can't run away like a gangster. When the case requires, he still has to come obediently. But once he goes home, it means he owes

Although he would not ask Yang Ji to repay his favor, he could use this move to deepen the relationship between the two old cousins.

In the same way, Yu Wenzhi can do the same over there.

Dou Qing thought about this, and his irritability and depression disappeared. He quickly stood up and said, "Why don't we welcome the princess in quickly?"

The famous scholar said with a bitter face: "No, the princess is instructing the generals to beat people."

"What?" Dou Qing was shocked and asked quickly: "Who did the princess beat?"

"Beat the slaves of the Yuwen family." Shu Zuo said: "Sima Yuanqian of the Yuwen family also brought a group of slaves to visit the prison. They met at the door, so the princess ordered the beating without saying a word."

Dou Qing felt a faint pain in his forehead and asked again: "When a princess hits someone, there must be an explanation, right?"

Shu Zuo smiled bitterly and said: "The princess said that the slaves of the Yuwen family lacked education, and they all looked at her and the concubine with ill-intentioned eyes, which provoked the royal dignity. In order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, and for the sake of the entire Yuwen family,

With a clean and honest family tradition, I taught him a lesson, which can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement."

Dou Qing couldn't laugh or cry.

It is true that "one family does not enter the same house". Although he does not know Xiao Ying's character, he knows the character of his younger aunt Dugu Min. He can even imagine that if it was Dugu Min who came today, he would probably behave differently.

Xiao Ying is exactly the same, no different.

Although Dou Qing wanted to ignore it, this was his territory after all. If he ignored it, it would not be justified anyway, so he had no choice but to say to Qu Tugai: "Go out and have a look. Alas, it really doesn't stop you."

The corner of Qu Tu Gai's mouth twitched. To be honest, he was quite happy to hear it.

The noise in front of the door became more intense and turned into screams. The two of them quickly quickened their pace, not daring to slack off.

When they ran to the front door of the lobby, they were shocked by the battle in front of them!

In the huge square in front of the county government hall, nearly a hundred people were fighting in a melee. The sound of killing was loud, and the shouts and curses could be heard. One party fell to the ground and screamed for mercy, while the other twirled the scabbard and knocked it hard.

Every time the stick was struck, there was a wailing scream, and the scene was very miserable.

Judging from the situation, the battle is over.

The result is clear at a glance: the royal family won a complete victory.

I saw a group of heroic sword-wielding warrior girls standing in front of a carriage with a beautiful woman in palace attire standing in front of a carriage. This woman in palace attire had long eyebrows, a gorgeous face, and tender skin like warm jade.

As soft as honey, her slender figure is graceful and graceful, and she is indescribably charming.

Needless to say, this woman is Xiao Ying. I heard her giving orders to the palace guards. Her cold voice was like a clear spring in a mountain stream, which was refreshing. However, what she said was chilling: "Listen to me, which dog?"

If a slave dares to speak obscene words, and any slave dog dares to show disrespect, I will break his dog's legs and break his sinful hands."

After the wailing Yuwen family slaves in the square heard these angry words, how could anyone dare to say even a single curse word? Not only that, for fear of being mistaken for a curse, they even suppressed their painful screams.

The guards of the palace are either the elite soldiers who followed Yang Shuang and Yang Ji in the northern and southern campaigns, or the dead soldiers who have sharpened their swords for decades. They are naturally more than enough to deal with the Yuwen Mansion's domestic slaves who do evil in the capital, bully good and fear evil, and more importantly

It was the Yuwen family's slave who was in the wrong and didn't dare to fight back, so he was beaten to pieces after only a few encounters!

A man in his fifties fell to the ground and struggled desperately, but Xue Ju stepped on his chest with one foot and couldn't get free. Although there was a big red and swollen slap mark on his face, it was not like other domestic slaves.

Cowardly. He glared at Xiao Ying fiercely and said hatefully: "The princess is amazing? Could it be that the princess is lawless and wants Si Chen?"

Xiao Ying slowly raised her eyebrows, a pair of bright phoenix eyes revealed a heart-stopping evil aura, and said word by word: "What a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed evil slave, General Xue, slap me hard!"

She originally had a gentle temperament. When she heard that her husband was almost killed by Yuwen Zhiji, she went on a killing rampage. Later, she was arrested and sent to the county government office. She felt angry, anxious, and worried, and then she followed

Rumors about Liu Rumei, they went to the palace together to meet Empress Xiao, hoping that she would make the decision for Liu Rumei and severely punish Yuwen Zhiji.

Empress Xiao also knew that Yuwen Zhiji was not a good person. She heard that she had bullied the royal family, and her sister made him jealous. She was so angry that she decided to advise Yang Guang and asked him to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and correct the customs in the capital.

However, at this moment, Princess Nanyang entered the palace to intercede for her brother-in-law.

Ever since, Xiao Ying, who was both aunt and aunt, started to argue with Princess Nanyang for her husband and her comrade Liu Rumei.
