Nangong Yutong looked at Mrs. Xing calmly, not completely convinced Mrs. Xing's words.

Instead, he said lightly: "I also recruited Lord Xing back then, but Lord Xing finally chose the eldest prince. What handle do you have fallen into the hands of the eldest prince."

She has also secretly recruited many people over the years, but many of these people have refused.

After all, most of these people who refused were in the hands of the eldest prince because they had a handle. They could be said to be forced to do so, or they could be said to be unclean.

Just so happened that Lord Xing was one of them.

But Nangong Yutong didn't expect Lord Xing to be so straightforward and let Mrs. Xing come to plead with her so early.

She knew that there must be a spy from the eldest prince outside, that is to say, when Mrs. Xing came to find her, the eldest prince would probably know tomorrow.

Mrs. Xing's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Lin Yuzhu curled her lips and looked at Mrs. Xing with some contempt.

I come to ask someone but don’t want to tell the truth. Such people are not worth helping!

Nangong Yutong was very patient and slowly drank tea and waited. Finally, Mrs. Xing raised her head and said, "My husband killed someone."

As soon as these words came to an end, Lin Yuzhu was a little surprised.

The Minister of the Secretariat is not a small official, and she has heard of Lord Xing. She is a good official who is diligent and loving the people. She has a very good reputation in the imperial city. I have heard many people discuss Lord Xing before.

But why did Lord Xing kill someone?

Nangong Yutong was also a little surprised. She had investigated what the handle of Lord Xing had fallen into the hands of the eldest prince, but in the end she did not investigate.

She also thought about countless possibilities, but she never thought that Lord Xing had killed anyone.

Lord Xing was thin and tall, and at first glance he looked like a scholar with no power to tie a chicken. He said in confusion: "You can explain it carefully."

Mrs. Xing thought of what Mr. Xing said to her when she came, and said that if the eldest princess must know the reason, she honestly explained it. He believed that the eldest princess could understand him.

Now, she has to say it out.

He looked at the eldest princess seriously and said, "When my husband was a seventh-rank county magistrate, he killed a villain for the sake of the people, and then created the illusion that the villain fell into the water and drowned."

This incident has always been her husband's heart disease.

Nangong Yutong suddenly remembered this incident and said, "Did that villain raped five daughters? He also killed one of them, but because there was no evidence to prove that he did it, the victim could only swallow his anger, and even Lord Xing could not convict him."

Mrs. Xing bit her lip and nodded: "Someone has seen the villain commit murder, but the villain threatened the lives of the other party's entire family. My husband didn't want more innocent women to be victimized, so he secretly attacked the victim's family. After drowning the villain, it created the illusion of the villain falling into the water. Big Princess, my husband killed the person he deserved to kill!"

Nangong Yutong felt bad when she heard this. If things really were like this, the villain should be damned!

"I want to report this to my father as soon as possible. Are the witnesses of that year still there?"

It is conceivable that if the eldest prince knew that Mrs. Xing came to find her, she would definitely attack Lord Xing. It would be too late to save Lord Xing at that time.

So we have to solve everything today.

Mrs. Xing quickly said, "I'm here, my husband has always been unable to sleep well recently, so he brought all the families of the victims to the Imperial City. They can testify for my husband in this matter."

Nangong Yutong felt that it was not appropriate to go and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, hurry up and bring your husband and witnesses. This matter must be handled as soon as possible."

Lin Yuzhu also understood that the matter was urgent, so she stood there and arranged for the guards to escort Mrs. Xing back.

Nangong Yutong has already picked up her pen and started writing letters, preparing to let the guards deliver them to the palace first.

But in half an hour, Lord Xing and Mrs. Xing came with witnesses.

Nangong Yutong personally interrogated, and Nangong Yunqi received the emperor's order and accompanied the trial.

After the matter was revealed and confirmed, Nangong Yutong and Nangong Yunqi rushed to the palace, and Lord Xing was temporarily detained, and Mrs. Xing was temporarily stayed in the Eighth Prince's Mansion.

Lin Yuzhu didn't expect so many things to happen, but she felt that the big prince knew about this and might cause a big storm, so she ordered the guards who guarded the royal palace to cheer up.

In the palace.

When the emperor heard the trial results sent by Nangong Yutong and Nangong Yunqi, he sighed and said, "Mr. Xing is a rare good official. Although it is illegal for him and the victim's family to kill the villain, it is reasonable. Please detain Lord Xing for the time being and send someone to protect him secretly. After the matter is settled, release Lord Xing."

We must first stabilize the eldest prince, and this matter is not as simple as it seems to be.

Nangong Yutong said seriously: "I am just afraid that the eldest prince will secretly be unfavorable to Lord Xing. Lord Xing's active surrender may cause many officials to act secretly. After all, Huayu Tower is gone, and many officials have been forced by the eldest prince to do things. Now I am worried that these officials will be cleaned up in advance."

Nangong Yunqi was also worried: "What will the father do?"

The emperor sat on the dragon throne and pondered for a while, and said: "Don't worry, since we know what the eldest prince's gangsters are, we can defeat them one by one. Some officials who can be reused should be kept. Even if they make a mistake, they can keep them for the time being as long as the mistake is not serious."

The court needs these officials, and there are still a few months left to wait for the spring trial next year.

Therefore, all officials cannot be cleaned up for the time being.

Nangong Yunqi said seriously: "Even if the officials who want to stay can only be kept, those who are harmless to the people and the court, such as Lord Xing, who can stay. If officials who are found to be corrupt and bribery and bully the people, they must not be kept."

Keeping such people is irresponsible to the people.

The Emperor also means this.

"No need to worry about the safety of the imperial city for the time being. The second prince has taken over military power. The only thing to guard against now is the officials in the court. I am a little tired, so you can retreat first."

Nangong Yutong and Nangong Yunqi left the palace together.

On the carriage, Nangong Yunqi said worriedly: "The eldest prince is waiting a hundred miles away. He will definitely make big moves this year."

He felt more and more that the eldest prince could not wait.

Nangong Yutong nodded: "He really can't wait. Many of the officials he won were greedy. The eldest prince himself had no income to fill these officials. The Xianfei was confined again. Many officials were secretly forcing the eldest prince. After all, he also shot himself in the foot. How could those borers be spoiled? He should have found out and deal with it."

Otherwise, the eldest prince is brainless!

If a person like him sits on the throne, the people are destined to have no good life.

Mrs. Xing waited until Nangong Yutong came back and left the Eighth Prince's Mansion with confidence.

It doesn’t matter if Lord Xing is temporarily detained. As long as his life is saved, everything is fine.
