Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

Chapter 208 The case is complicated and confusing

"Auntie, I'm here to pick up the car!" Charlotte said to the bailiff confidently.

Who dares to offend the Crown Princess? He drove the carriage directly to the gate and bowed to see her off.

The bandits didn't know Charlotte.

I really thought that the landlord's aunt came to pick up the car in person.

Seeing that there was no one around, Situ Jin put the car into the space.

Then they returned to the village hand in hand.

When we arrived at the village, the villagers were all working.

Charlotte didn't drink a sip of water for most of the day.

She asked Shaoyao to go down to the cellar and take out a few cans of ink.

"You know what, Zimo is quite talented. The canned wild fruits he made are really delicious. Come and try them." Charlotte ate the canned food bite by bite.

This can of food is sweet and sour and delicious. It is icy and really quenches your thirst.

"When we get back, give the canned food to his grandparents, and let them take some back."

Situ Jin was going to go back and show off his son's craftsmanship.

"You scolded your son so badly. Now he wants to show off." Xia Luo said to Situ Jin.

To be honest, she was very angry when Situ Jin scolded Zimo.

But thinking back, Situ Jin had foresight.

He is a man of great wisdom.

"Children need to be trimmed from time to time, otherwise when they grow up, the tree will have too many branches and you won't be able to reach the branches even if you want to trim them." Situ Jin ate the canned food happily.

"Fuling, deliver the canned food to the patrolling yamen runners, one box for each person."

His son was out on patrol all day. Let him try some of the canned food he made.

"Do you think it's possible to ship these canned goods to Southeast Asia?"

Charlotte suddenly remembered that Xuanxuan hadn't eaten yet.

"Are you thinking that your daughter hasn't had her meal yet?" Situ Jin directly revealed Xia Luo's thoughts.

"Xuanxuan likes sweet and sour food. If it can be shipped to Southeast Asia, my Xuanxuan will definitely be happy to eat it."

Charlotte could imagine Xuanxuan’s rosy face.

"She's not a child anymore. Look at her, she's almost the same as Xibao. Xibao is already in a relationship. Your daughter is still dreaming about eating sweet things."

"My Xuanxuan won't fall in love so early. If she does, she'll find a man who will spoil her for the rest of her life." Charlotte dotes on Xuanxuan especially.

"Zimo is two years older than Xuanxuan. I guess he doesn't understand the relationship between men and women yet." Situ Jin had never talked about this with Zimo.

"Zimo has high standards. Most people don't catch his eye. Once a girl catches his eye, Zimo will be nice to her for the rest of her life." Charlotte knows him best.

"Shiso, make some cold dishes tonight. It's too hot. Eating some cold dishes will make you feel better."

Zimo ate the canned wild fruits he made himself, and felt warm in his heart.

His parents still really care about him.

He will listen to his parents and never do anything in a high-profile manner again.

He was locked in the house by Ye Xiuxiu last night.

Everyone went to carry out the mission.

He followed secretly.

Seeing how wise his parents were, he admired and envied them from the bottom of his heart.

He now gradually understands his parents' painstaking efforts.

He now needs to equip himself, study hard, and improve his academic performance and kung fu.

He got up early every day to go to the mountains to exercise, and his four bodyguards also accompanied him in training.

It was customary for the Censorate and the Dali Temple to jointly try Sima Zhao's case.

This was because Yundingshan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was Sima Zhao's former father-in-law.

In order to avoid suspicion, it was said that Yunding Mountain was taking revenge on personal grounds.

The emperor specifically asked the Censorate and Xiao Dezi to jointly try the case.

The head of the Control Yuan is Tan Gang.

Who is Tan Gang?

Tan Gang was also a scholar in his past.

The top scholar of that year was chosen by the emperor and appointed as the president of the Supervisory Council.

The young man speaks forcefully, does things in an orderly manner, and comes from a well-off family.

Then the Supervisory Commission will enforce the law impartially and with integrity.

Over the years, I have had a good cooperation with Yundingshan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.

A few years ago, he married his first wife, Ouyang Qian. She was said to be a descendant of the royal family. They had three children, two girls and one boy. The boy is now eleven years old. He is smart and is studying strategies to strengthen the country and manage the army in the Imperial Academy.

The two girls did not learn needlework, but found a master to learn martial arts. It is said that even the escorts could not beat them.

When Sima Zhao was on trial, he was still confused.

He was acupunctured by the prince without knowing it.

He was thrown into jail again without knowing why.

He was brought back to Kyoto to be investigated by the Supervisory Council.

At first he refused to admit it. Later the Supervisory Commission gradually uncovered his dark history. There were witnesses and physical evidence.

He was dumbfounded.

I thought I was being fooled by that Red Peony.

He himself did not see the silver, but he was charged with corruption.

There was no one around him, but he was charged with treason.

There are more than a dozen crimes such as raising private soldiers, robbery, colluding with foreign forces to rob and plunder, each of which is punishable by death.

When the Minister of Revenue Sima Weiyan heard about his son's crimes, he almost fainted. This was a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of his family.

He regretted that his son divorced Yunmeng and married Hong Mudan, the prodigal.

But there is no regret medicine in the world.

Yundingshan returned home and told his daughter about Sima Zhao's crimes.

Yunmeng couldn't stand the crying of his two children. After all, he was the father of the children.

She asked Yundingshan to talk to the emperor and let her see Sima Zhao again before the execution.

It was not so easy when trying Hong Mudan.

This woman is very tight-lipped. She avoids the important issues.

She said that she was deceived by Sima Zhao.

She kept silent about the whereabouts of the silver.

Xiao Dezi received messages from Situ Jin and Xia Luo.

So start from her weak point.

It is said that Sima Zhao has already recruited her.

It was also said that the bandit leader had run away with all the money.

If she can find the bandit leader, she will have made a great contribution.

And someone will be sent to send her back to her country.

Use a strategy of sowing discord to get the truth out of her.

Hong Mudan has been a very smart person over the years.

She refused to tell anyone who the spies were and where they were lurking.

Just beg for mercy and let her go. It will find the bandit leader and hand over the silver to the court.

Xiao Dezi heard that this woman had been fooling them.

He went straight to the torture device.

Hong Mudan couldn't stand it and revealed the woman lurking around the court officials.

"What? My wife is a spy?" Tan Gang's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"I can only ask Master Tan to explain to the Emperor."

Xiao Dezi was also surprised.

But when it comes to overseas spies, no one dares to be vague.

Let the emperor decide.

"This woman has ruined everything I have!" Tan Gang knew the seriousness of the matter.

If they succeed, their entire family will be expelled from the capital, and if they fail, they will be exiled to an uninhabited area.

The emperor was also shocked to hear the news.

Tan Gang was not wrong, but he was wrong in marrying a woman whose background he did not know.

But a gentleman who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner.

The President of the Supervisory Yuan is no exception.

After investigation and evidence collection, it was found that several other court officials had also married spies whose backgrounds were unknown.

So the emperor exiled all of them to the bitter cold of northern border for ten years.

Several court officials worked diligently for the court.

They were punished for marrying the wrong woman. They were willing to do it.

In view of their performance, the emperor used various excuses to give them food, clothing and other expenses during their ten years of exile.

Xi Huicheng took over as the President of the Control Yuan.

Xihuicheng himself is well-read and he is also the son of the emperor's uncle.

He has outstanding moral character. The post of President of the Supervisory Yuan is rightfully his.

Before Sima Zhao was executed, the emperor allowed Yun Meng to meet Sima Zhao.

"Yunmeng, I don't regret divorcing you. I'm leaving, so please take good care of the two children. They are the blood of our Sima family."
