Chapter 65 Eunuch (1)
The material evidence was sufficient. The people of the Military Force of the Five Cities could be summoned to be the witness. This case has already been overturned by someone silently. If it goes on like this, Zhao Zhong would definitely be found innocent.
Situ Yaohua knew that he took a bad move. Lin Qing presumably had found out the truth of the matter from somewhere. Furthermore, the evidence was now in front of his eyes, making him have to face the situation on whether to judge this case with the facts or with the face of the imperial household.
Moreover, the official with the surname Shen suddenly wasn’t on the same side as him anymore. Although, he doesn’t know the specific reason, but he knew that the current situation was unfavorable towards him.
The atmosphere in the hall was strange for a while. Should they continue the trial? The criminal had already accounted for himself and the evidence was sufficient to prove that the person in the hall was not guilty. Not only was he innocent, but he also did a meritorious deed. Should they release him? This was impossible.
This case also must be presented to emperor Jinghui for review and emperor Jinghui would judge it himself. Only he was qualified to really make a decision on this case.
Situ Yaohua slammed the gavel and said, “Retreat the hall!”
Was this stopping now for a retrial?
However, Situ Yaohua didn’t plan to submit the result of the trial so soon to emperor Jinghui because this was not the result he wanted. Also, as long as the person was still in his hands, he still has the opportunity to bring the case to the result he wanted.
The two officials of the Ministry of Justice quickly followed Situ Yaohua and hurriedly left the hall. The two exchanged a glance and immediately looked away with a guilty conscience. As for the reason, only the two of them knew.
Zhao Zimu was about to be taken back to prison again. She slowly got up and looked at the shackles in her hand. To be honest, she truly wanted to make a fuss, but she knew that it was impossible. She glanced at Jia Er who planned to follow her back to guard her cell and while he was at it, trample a few mice, she said, “Has Lord Qiansui been well these few days?”
“Answering ma, this little brother…Lord Qiansui is well…” He is well, but they are not well!
The days that madam had been away, even the air in Qiansui’s residence seemed to be freezing them. The aura that Lord Qiansui emitted from three zhang (10 feet) away would let those who doesn’t know him think that he is an exceptional martial artist.
Jia Er glanced at Zhao Zimu and stopped speaking melancholic.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zimu said to him, “Go back and tell him, tell him that I miss him. Also…” She frowned and said, “Situ Yaohua is very annoying!”
He didn’t know what she meant by that. Jia Er still understood the first half, but the latter half was very terrible!
Madam hasn’t sent messages to Lord Qiansui for a few days. The moment she sent a message, it was such a profound sentence that had another man’s name in it. Jia Er thought carefully about whether he had offended madam to let madam think of such a way to get rid of him using Lord Qiansui’s hand…
Could it be that he didn’t take good care of madam and had been disliked by her?
Thinking till here, Jia Er couldn’t help but be stunned. And that sentence that would let Lord Qiansui misunderstand, would it let him be thrown back in the Prefecture of Arrest for a miscellaneous treatment? That feeling was not good!
Jia Er hurriedly caught up with the guards who was escorting Zhao Zimu and pitifully said to Zhao Zimu, “This subordinate doesn’t understand your meaning. Could you make it clearer?”
While he spoke, he glared at the guard on both sides who looked at him strangely. What was so strange?! Don’t you understand that you should know less about what you shouldn’t know?!
Looking at this tall, fierce and unreasonable member of the Prefecture of Arrest, the two guards shrank their heads and didn’t dare to show strange looks. It was just that the two of them was still very puzzled. A superior actually showed that kind of miserable expression to a subordinate; did he want them to go blind?
Also, this sir, if you don’t want us to know, you can just let us avoid it! You can also talk private! Are you doing this on purpose? Sure enough, all the people of the Prefecture of Arrest are unreasonable. The two guards thought bitterly.
Then, Zhao Zimu just pulled a smile that made Jia Er extremely dejected and said very vile to him, “Can’t.”
Jia Er, “…” In fact, he still had things he didn’t say. However, looking at madam, he held back and didn’t remind her of the mountain called Lord Qiansui that she had to pass…
In fact, Zhao Zimu lived overtly well in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. There was no other reason. Although the environment where she lived was a bit simple and crude, but on food and things, as long as she motioned, she would get them. In her words, the people of here inexplicably take very good care of her. Except from being unable to see the sky, everything was good…
However, Situ Yaohua, her presiding judge who was in charge of the trial, was very bad. Someone of the Ministry of Justice sent the result of this trial directly to the desk of emperor Jinghui without him knowing about it!
Outrageous!
How could Situ Yaohua take it? Early in the morning of the next day, he again required for Zhao Zimu to be severely tried. The reason was that this was related to the face of the imperial household and must be investigated thoroughly and strictly. No errors or omissions could be made.
Prime minister Lin couldn’t help but glance once at him, sighed and shook his head. He naturally knew that this was an excellent opportunity to give Lin Qing a blow, but it was still impossible to bring him down. Since it was unable to bring him down, why bother to keep bumping heads with him?
He wanted to persuade Situ Yaohua, but he didn’t. Situ Yaohua was probably restraining his anger now and that anger wouldn’t be destroyed without pouring cold water over it. This cold water still had to be poured by Lin Qing.
