“Xin Zhao!”

“Xin Zhao!”

"Where did Xin Zhao die?"

Zhao Ning's angry voice continued to echo in Chongli Palace.

Zhao Xin was the middle-aged man he sent to secretly protect Ying Wuji. He was a master of the fourth-grade spiritual fetus in the fetal transformation realm. He was usually very steady in doing things, but this time he made such a big mistake. How could she not be angry?

"Your Highness! Zhao Xin and the supervisor of the State of Gan attacked the Black Iron Gate together and were seriously injured. He has not woken up yet!"

"waste!"

Zhao Ning swore rarely, but she knew that she couldn't blame Zhao Xin, because the order she gave Zhao Xin was to only protect Ying Wuji's safety, and not do anything else that might affect the situation in the State of Li.

The incident happened suddenly and he couldn't have known the specific circumstances.

But after the black iron gate fell, it was too late to remedy the situation.

But what should I do now?

Zhao Ning rubbed her head, but just when she was feeling confused, a voice that made her even more upset came.

"Your Highness! The Imperial Censor and his wife wish to see Your Highness!"

The Imperial Censor Wei Huan is the current head of the Wei family, Luo Yan's brother-in-law, and also Wei Teng's biological father.

Now that we have come to Chongli Palace, the purpose is self-evident.

Zhao Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Pass it on!"

After a while, a middle-aged man with gray hair but vigorous spirit walked in with a crying lady.

As soon as she walked in front of Zhao Ning, the noble lady knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please seek justice for my son!"

According to Zhou Li, scholar-official families did not kneel when meeting the king.

This kneeling clearly had the meaning of coercion.

Just as Zhao Ning expected, Mrs. Wei cried and screamed, as if she was about to faint from grief, but her views were extremely clear: first, there must be someone behind this, and the mastermind behind this must be found out and sentenced to death.

Second, although Wei Teng was guilty, the cruelty of Ying Wuji's murder had long exceeded the laws of Dali, and he should also be sentenced to death.

Both viewpoints have some truth to them, the only problem is the sentencing of Ying Wuji.

If Ying Wuji was just a noble of the State of Li, he would not be able to escape death, but he was a prince of the State of Gang, so there should be room for him to turn around.

Even if he could be given a lighter sentence because of his relationship with Li, the consequences would definitely not be something Ying Wuji could bear.

Logically speaking, given the current situation of the Wei family, they definitely do not want to be hostile to the Gan Kingdom, and Ying Wuji is also one of the victims in a sense. Considering the overall situation, the focus should be placed on the real culprit behind the scenes.

But the problem is that Ying Wuji killed twenty-seven people by himself, which shows that he is very powerful and is not in a situation where he has to kill people.

But even in this situation, he still chose to kill everyone.

This is what the Wei family cannot accept. If they really swallow their anger in silence, I am afraid the Wei family will lose all face.

Even if Wei Huan could tolerate it, the hundreds of thousands of elite Wei Wuzu soldiers in the Wei family's fiefdom could not tolerate it.

But... when did Ying Wuji acquire such strength?

My good brother Ying!

You really know how to give me a difficult problem!

Zhao Ning forced a smile and said, "Mr. Wei, Madam Wei! This case is of great importance. I, Your Highness, will rule on behalf of Your Majesty and enforce the law impartially! However, this matter is complicated and confusing. The Feiyu Guards are stepping up their investigation. Mr. Wei is a pillar of the country. You two must not let your personal feelings affect your health and cause you to miss important matters!"

"well!"

Wei Huan sighed deeply, and in an instant he seemed to have aged several years. He had not said a word since he entered the room, but now he finally spoke: "Your Highness! Teng'er is my most beloved son. Now he has done such a shameful thing. It's all because I didn't discipline him properly! But the faults Teng'er committed are not punishable by death. Please, Your Highness, give me justice!"

Zhao Ning said with a stiff upper lip: "Don't worry, Wei Qing, I will enforce the law impartially!"

Wei Huan looked solemn, and bowed deeply, "Then please, Your Highness, open this case to the public!"

This is the real purpose of his visit this time.

Zhao Ning looked a little stern, as the incident happened too suddenly and he had no time to react at all. Judging from the current situation, Wei Huan requested that the case be tried in public, and he had no reason to refuse.

But her plan just now was to fabricate a story in advance to exonerate Ying Wuji and help him get away with it.

Once the trial is open, this method will be difficult to implement. There is no easy-going person in the Wei family, especially Wei Teng, who is the most beloved son of Wei Huan and his wife.

"Your Highness!"

Wei Huan bowed again, his voice becoming more and more mournful: "My son's body is now lying in the Wuling room of Feiyuwei. I don't know when it can be sewn up. Can't Your Highness even meet this small request?"

Zhao Ning was silent for several breaths before nodding: "Then let's do as Wei Qing said. Within three days, the case will be publicly tried!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wei Huan then thanked his wife and left.

In the huge Chongli Palace, Zhao Ning remained silent for a long time, and even now her head was a little confused.

Strictly prohibiting everyone from using punishment on Ying Wuji and appointing Wu Shuangxu to be fully responsible is all she can do. Yang Zhu's lineage seems to be very interested in this hostage from the country of Gan, and with their means, they should be able to help.

well!

Brother Ying!

Why are you doing this?

Zhao Ning let out a long sigh and prepared to leave Chongli Palace.

"Ning'er!"

"Mother!"

Seeing the queen coming towards him, Zhao Ning hurriedly saluted.

The queen also looked a little serious: "Where are you going?"

Zhao Ning said in a deep voice: "Flying Fish Guard! This matter is full of weirdness and strangeness. If Ying Wuji can't calm down, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious. I should ask for clarification."
