Chapter 316 Changing Prisoners

On Xiaohan day, there was heavy snowfall, but the palace of Prince Jin was filled with joy.

Princess Kangren's marriage has been decided, not to a noble family, but to a noble family in the city.

It was up to Princess Kangren to make her own decision, and then the King of Jin sent people to investigate the man's family.

Even when the man was three years old, he drank an extra bowl of soup and wet the bed. It was also found out.

When Jiang Changning heard about this, he sighed, "This investigation is too thorough."

The King of Jin was conducting such a thorough investigation on his niece. If it were a daughter, Jiang Changning felt that the King of Jin might not be investigating the third generation of the husband, but the eighteenth generation of the groom's ancestors.

The King of Jin was good to his niece, and Jiang Changning was not bad to her either. After Princess Kangren got married, he began to teach her about housekeeping. He taught her everything in detail, which greatly benefited Princess Kangren.

Although Princess Kangren has no father or mother, she has the title of princess, a high status, and the support of the Jin Dynasty, so no one will complain about the loss of her mother and father.

In addition, she is not only well-read in poetry and books, but also knows all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not bad at housekeeping. In the wedding market, she is quite favored by the ladies.

Now that the marriage was settled, the concubine was relieved and said with tears: "Thank you for your troubles. This marriage is excellent. Kang Ren will be depended on for life. A hundred years from now, I won't be afraid to see your father and eldest brother."

"You are always meticulous in your work, and there will be no mistakes or omissions." The concubine is now more and more satisfied with Jiang Changning.

"It was specially carved. Do you want to take a look at it?" Jiang Changning asked with a smile.

The woman took another step forward and said, "The person who murdered your mother and concubine must be the current Princess of Jin, Mrs. Jiang. Oh my god."

Jiang Changning was stunned, and after a while he came back to his senses, "This must have been done by Mrs. Zhuang."

It's just that Princess Kangren is no longer close to the Qiao family, and the New Year's gift sent to the Qiao family was deliberately reduced by three points.

"Princess, who will benefit the most after something happens to the concubine and the master?" the mother-in-law induced her.

My aunt is very lazy and doesn't want to take care of the house at all. First it was her cousin, and now she, her aunt has completely delegated the power of housekeeping.

"Your Majesty, this minister and his family are absolutely not involved in this matter. I ask your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly and correct the law." King Jin ignored it and said directly to the young emperor.

"How sure are you?"

There was a thick stack of gifts. Jiang Changning gave all of Qiao's dowry to Princess Kangren, and also spent 50,000 taels of silver to buy Princess Kangren's dowry.

"Mother, on this big day, please don't say such things. Take a look at this wedding gift list and see if I have made any mistakes or omissions?" Jiang Changning hurriedly distracted her attention with other things.

Before she could finish her words, Princess Kangren kicked her away, "Instigate a relationship between me and my aunt, and then the Qiao family can get close to me and suck my blood, right?"

"You just shirk the matter without knowing anything, Prince Jin, no matter how much you quibble." Prince Qing sneered, "Who doesn't know that Princess Jin is from Hangzhou?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that whether King Qing's evidence is true or not remains to be discussed." King De said.

The little emperor said: "This matter should indeed be thoroughly investigated. The government officials in the prison dared to accept bribes to exchange prisoners on death row. This is certainly not the first time this has happened. I am afraid there are not a few officials involved in this matter."

After driving the mother-in-law away, Princess Kangren continued to look at her account books. She did not believe a word of what the mother-in-law said.

"Princess, you can't misunderstand the old lady and the master like this. They are your closest relatives."

The old woman first told Mrs. Qiao that she missed Princess Kangren, then she took a step forward and lowered her voice and said, "Princess, my master found out that someone murdered your mother and concubine."

"I won't look at it anymore. It will be too late to look at it again when the dowry is carried." The concubine was afraid of carrying such a big thing in and out. If it got bumped and broken, it would be bad.

"My mother-in-law was pushed off the bridge and fell into the water and drowned." Princess Kangren saw it with her own eyes and did not believe her words.

She knew how her aunt had treated her over the years, and her aunt was kind-hearted. How could she possibly murder her mother-in-law?

The Qiao family said that the aunt took action against the mother and concubine for the sake of power, which is even more nonsense.

"Your Majesty, I have conclusive evidence. Two years ago, Zhuang Jike of the Zhuang family was sentenced to be executed in the autumn, but he was replaced. He changed his name in Hangzhou, remarried and had children."

"I don't dare to have close relatives like the Qiao family. Go back and tell them to be safe and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, the family will be ruined." Princess Kangren pointed to the door and said, "Get out."

Although she said this, the concubine still accepted the gift order.

"I don't know about this matter." King Jin said solemnly.

A few days later, King Qing suddenly went to court in the morning and challenged the King of Jin. He "bribed the government servants and replaced the condemned prisoners with seriously ill people. As a result, this person was at large for a long time and ignored the laws of the Qin Dynasty."

"My wife will never do anything that violates the law." King Jin said firmly.

For the sake of fairness and justice, neither of these two people can investigate and handle the matter personally.

Princess Kangren's face darkened, "What exactly do you want to say?"

King Jin returned to his residence and told Jiang Changning about the incident.

"Princess, there are many people on the Qingshui Bridge during the Lantern Festival, but why is your mother and concubine the only one who is squeezed off?"

"Prince Jin, I advise you not to be too absolute." Prince Yu interrupted, "Princess Jin has lived in the Zhuang family for many years and has a deep relationship with the Zhuang family."

"Three people fell into the water, and the two were fine. Why did your mother and concubine drown? Princess, there is a conspiracy here."

The young emperor knew the art of emperor's balance very well. He asked King Yu and King De to participate in it, as well as eleven officials including the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of the Left and Right, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Princess Kangren frowned, "What's the conspiracy?"

The Qiao family's eye drops were not successful, and Princess Kangren did not mention the matter to Jiang Changning.

King Qing presented the collected evidence and said: "I have brought Zhuang Jike's family of three back to the capital and are now being held in a separate courtyard. Your Majesty can summon them at any time."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were looking at the gift list, Princess Kangren was meeting a woman sent by the Qiao family.

He knew that Jiang Changning had the ability to do this, but based on his understanding of Jiang Changning, Jiang Changning would not do this.

Princess Kangren said calmly: "It was not just my mother and concubine who fell into the water, there were also two other people."

Jiang Changning acted in a grand manner, which made the concubine who came from a noble family and was very concerned about showing off and face, very happy, "This noble son, Yu Shanzi, is the best dowry."

"I have never done anything that violates the law. King Qing is slandering me." King Jin came out and said.

"Asking for justice?" Princess Kangren snorted coldly, "Asking from whom?"

King Qing revealed the matter, and King Jin was considered a party involved.

"Princess, you are the only flesh and blood of the Concubine and the Master, so you have to seek justice for the Concubine and the Master!"

Jiang Changning made a gesture, "Mrs. Zhuang only has one son, and she won't let him die."

Mr. Zhuang has no two legitimate sons, but he still has a concubine.

The banker has no title to inherit, and if he has a bastard, there will be no heirs.

"I asked He Lianming to check on her." King Jin asked Chang Youzhong to secretly send a message to King De.
