In a few days, Du Hua was deported to the capital and detained in Dali Temple.

These days, Su Muwan has been busy with disaster relief, so she naturally forgot to pay attention to such things, so when Shangguan Chen came to tell her, she was still a little surprised.

"Has Du Hua been put into jail?" Su Muwan took the handkerchief that Yinhuan took and wiped her hand.

Shangguan Chen took the fan and leaned forward, saying, "Yes, sister of the princess, I was just locked up in Dali Temple this morning and was preparing to be tried tomorrow morning. Do you know who the presiding officer is this time?"

"Who?" Su Muwan handed the handkerchief to Yinhuan and signaled her to start serving.

Shangguan Chen watched the food pass by in front of him, and his stomach accidentally rang out, and he felt a little embarrassed: "I got the news and came over. It's time to have lunch yet!"

"Okay! Sit down!" Su Muwan said with a smile: "I don't dare to be hungry, your baby brother!"

Shangguan Chen sat down next to Su Muwan. After eating for a while, Su Muwan asked, "Okay, you haven't told me yet, who is the judge?"

"Oh! It's Zhou Li. The former magistrate of Lincheng was summoned back to Beijing because of his outstanding political achievements!" Shangguan Chen said while eating: "Sister Princess, your food is delicious!"

Looking at Shangguan Chen's appearance, Su Muwan smiled and gently stroked his head: "Eat slowly, don't choke! Silver ring, serve the prince a bowl of soup!"

"Yes, Empress!"

The warm hands were caressed on his head, and Shangguan Chen's heart was also warm. I haven't felt this way for a long time!

Princess sister, that’s great!

Zhou Li, Su Muwan thought about it for a while, but she didn't expect where this character came from?

In the flash of lightning, a little girl suddenly appeared in her mind.

It was the child who spoke at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I still remember her saying, "Princess Sister, I know, my father and I went to see it. They were all gray and worn in rags. After seeing it, my father burst into tears!"

At that time, I still remembered that there was an eighth-rank county magistrate, and I guess he was the only one.

You can see the human nature of a father from the child. The child is so kind, and the father will not be bad. This time, if you leave Du Hua's matter to him, you can find a suitable person.

"Zhou Li is a good official. This time, Du Hua's affairs should be revealed and the emperor can understand the true face of the eldest prince!" Su Muwan was very satisfied with the choice of this official. Thinking of everything that happened in Qingcheng, the eldest prince really played a big role in the middle.

Hearing Su Muwan say this, Shangguan Chen asked, "How do you know Zhou Li?"

He also heard from others and only knew that he was the presiding officer. Why did the princess and sister know that this person is a good official!

Su Muwan told Shangguan Chen about what happened at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, and said with a smile: "Tell me, if you can teach such a daughter, this father must be a person who cares about the people and can think about the people!"

Shangguan Chen suddenly realized: "Yes, I remember it. It seems that a few days ago, when I was in court, Zhou Li mentioned the matter about Qingcheng. He also said that he had found Du Hua, but was kicked out. Only then did he hope that his father could be fair. In this way, he was really a good official!"

"Yes!" Su Muwan chuckled.

This time, it depends on what else can he do to Shangguan Qian!

On the second day, at Dali Temple, Zhou Li sat in the main seat, while the Dali Temple Minister sat aside, and Du Hua who was escorted to him stood below.

When he saw Du Hua, Zhou Li was a little unbelievable. Generally, corrupt officials like this must have a stinky face, but Du Hua did not look like this. He was wearing a prison uniform. He might have been sent to the forefront because of the hardships on the road these days. He was very thin and looked empty and had a beard on his face, but he had a bit of a literary character!

Can such a person do bad things?

If it weren't for the evidence in hand, he wouldn't believe it at all!

Such a scholar-like person would be a corrupt official who united with bandits, colluded with the eldest prince, and seized money from the people!

Yes, it's the eldest prince.

Thinking that a few days ago, after going to court, he was called to the imperial study by the emperor, and the emperor handed him some things. He spread it open and saw it, and was startled.

He always thought that Du Hua was involved in this matter, but he did not expect that the eldest prince would also participate.

That's right, otherwise, why would Du Hua be so unscrupulous and has not been discovered in recent years.

After seeing that he had read these letters, the emperor said, "These things were handed over to me by Su Mubo, the prefect of Dingzhou. I have also read them. They involve the eldest prince. So, I hope that you can investigate this matter clearly and whether it has anything to do with the eldest prince, and you must make it clear!"

Although it was a foregone conclusion, Shangguan Sha still left a little room for Shangguan Qian!

He really doesn't want his son. It turns out that he is such a person who does everything he wants. For money, he can ignore the people and for a high position, he can ignore his brothers!

Seeing the emperor's face showing fatigue, Zhou Li understood his mood at the moment and said, "I obey the order and will definitely investigate this matter!"

So, when he saw Du Hua's appearance, he also understood it. I guess this look has confused many people.

As soon as the auspicious wood was slapped, Zhou Li shouted loudly: "Sinner Du Hua, you and other officials in Qingcheng collude with bandits, wantonly rob the people's money and seek a lot of selfish interests, what should you be guilty of!"

Originally, Zhou Li thought Du Hua must have made some excuses, but saw him kneeling down and bowing to the ground: "What the Lord said is extremely true, I admit these sins!"

"Then let's talk about it one by one, what crime have you committed!"

Du Hua began to tell the things he committed one by one, colluding with officials in Qingcheng, how to collude with the bandits, and how much money he has harmed the people over the years has been said.

The sound and tears are filled with tears, and the regret can be seen.

However, I didn't talk about the matter with some big names in the capital!

Zhou Li frowned and asked, "Nothing else?"

"It's gone, sir, my subordinates know that they have a great sin and do not ask for forgiveness. I am willing to die to comfort those who have been killed by me!" Du Hua said everything he should have said, but he didn't say a single word.

"Then the An family?" Zhou Li knew that if he rashly raised the name of the eldest prince and was used by someone who was interested, he would definitely let the eldest prince make a big fuss!

So, he first tentatively chose one of the middlemen!

"No!" Du Hua hurriedly denied: "The An family is just my wife's family and has nothing to do with this matter. They don't know that the wrong things I did, otherwise I would definitely stop. After all, they are all good people!"

He wants to protect his home!

Du Hua remembered the days when he was taken away. When those things were taken away by Du Yueniang, he knew that sooner or later there would be such a day and that he would definitely be captured.

But he couldn't escape, and the consequence of the escape was that the whole family was killed.

But in those days, An Qinru was found to be pregnant.

An Qin said in tears: "This time, the adults may be in danger, and my parents' family are also involved in it. If the Holy Mountain is discovered, we will definitely not be able to escape. What should our children do?"

Du Huan had a son when he was old. He thought that there would be no inheritance in the future, but now he had blood. He said that he could not let him disappear, so he made a decision: "Don't worry, this matter is only related to the people in Qingcheng, and has nothing to do with them. People in the capital have never participated in this matter!"

In this way, if you keep An’s family, you will save your children!

That's why Du Hua was so tight-lipped, without arguing, and directly admitted his crime.

Zhou Li didn't expect that Du Hua's mouth was so strict. After asking again, he even used punishment, but he still did not let Du Hua tell the story of the eldest prince!

Helplessly, the case was postponed.

Su Muwan found out about these things, and she smiled: "I'm still a love-infatuated person!"

There is a meaning of teasing in the words. At the beginning of Qingcheng, she also knew that Du Hua would definitely not be a person who gave up his principles for the sake of women. What was that? This time he protected An Qinru like this?

After thinking about it, I finally thought of it!

child.

Only children can make Du Hua like this. Such a bloodline must be protected.

Su Muwan asked Yinhuan to invite Lord Zhou to the teahouse for tea. She knew why Du Hua spoke. I guess he must not know what the wife he was protecting with his life now looked like in secret.

Zhou Li was at home and received an invitation from the butler. He was very surprised: "Princess Yu? What did she ask me for?"

The little girl was sitting in his arms at this moment. When she heard him say the words "Princess Yu" and said hurriedly: "The Princess is a great person. She has given the refugees a lot of help! Daddy, I want to go and see the Princess!"

"Okay, you little silly melon! I understand!" Zhou Li stretched out his finger, shaved his daughter's little nose, and said with a smile: "Dad will go, but you can't go. Has the task assigned to you today been completed? Dad will come back later, but he will have to check it. If it is not completed, hit the palm of his hand!"

When the little girl heard this, she immediately got out of Zhou Li's arms, ran to her mother's arms, and made a face at Zhou Li: "Bad Dad!"

Zhou Li and his wife looked at each other and burst into laughter!

After finishing the packing, Su Muwan was already waiting at the teahouse.

Su Muwan walked forward and said with a smile: "This must be Lord Zhou! Please come in!"

In the private room, there is a tea fragrance!

Zhou Li looked at Su Muwan so politely and bowed: "Princess Yu is polite!"

The two of them sat down, and then Zhou Li asked, "Princess Yu called the official, what instructions do you have?"

Su Muwan asked Yinhuan to pour tea for the two of them, and then she talked about the purpose of this time.

"I came for Du Hua!"
Chapter completed!
