Chapter 286: Review the case and enjoy some fun!
Lu Li was strolling outside with her brother and sister, having a great time. When she learned that her father wanted to see her about something, she was reluctant to go back at first.
But when I heard that there was something interesting going on during the trial, I realized that there was something interesting going on!
Oh well, you can still go there.
So she followed Meng Shanchuan back to the yamen.
When Lu Yanshi saw Lu Li, he felt like he had seen his savior.
"Xiaojiu is back. Come, father, give you a hug."
He smiled and took Lu Li from Meng Shanchuan's arms.
"What does father want to talk to me about?" Lu Li asked while opening the melon-eating system.
Lu Yanshi first recounted what had happened and the testimonies of both parties, and then whispered into Lu Li's ear, fearing that someone would hear him.
"Father is a little unsure whether the boy stole the horse, so he wants you to help and see if you can dream out the truth. After all, our Xiaojiu is amazing and can always help father share his worries. Father trusts you the most!"
Hearing his father praising him so much, Lu Li's chubby little face showed a proud smile.
"Don't worry, Father. I'll take a nap and tell you the truth later!"
Knowing that he had a daughter, Lu Yanshi felt much more at ease.
Lu Li closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, but she was actually secretly using the gossip system to check what happened.
[Pon himself did not tie the horse's rope properly, so the horse ran away.]
When Lu Yanshi heard her thoughts, he couldn't help but secretly speculate: Could it be that Pang En's horse ran away and was picked up by Nong Sanxi, so he said it was a wild horse?
But he has already developed a habit of not jumping to conclusions too quickly. After all, Xiaojiu always stops talking halfway through eating a melon.
[Hey, Nong Sanxi's horse appeared earlier than Pang En's. ]
[This is truly a wild horse that he picked up. ]
[The wild horse was injured, and he bandaged it.]
Lu Yanshi nodded silently. It seemed that the young man was not lying.
[So that's it, I understand! ]
Lu Li suddenly realized.
Lu Yanshi:?
Did he miss something? How did he understand it so quickly?
Understand what?
Lu Li opened her eyes and said sweetly, "Father, they didn't lie. They all have horses! Nong Sanxi can understand what the horse says. He and the horse are good friends. He was afraid that if he brought the horse home, the horse would be sold for money, so he kept it secretly in the woods."
Lu Yanshi suddenly became energetic.
"If he can understand what the horse says, then can he make the horse listen to him and control it?"
This young boy is still a rare talent.
"Logically, that's right." Lu Li nodded.
"My dear, you really helped father a lot." Lu Yanshi smiled slightly and was in a good mood.
If talents like Nong Sanxi were placed in the Royal Stables, they would be of great use in the future.
If, when we fight with foreigners, they are riding horses, we should send Nong Sanxi out to disrupt their formation.
The more Lu Yanshi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he immediately announced that he would review the case.
Lu Li also told the whereabouts of the two horses.
"Ponen's horse ran away and fell into the mountain. It is still dying. It is on the mountain behind Qingshan Village that looks like a pen holder."
"Nong Sanxi's horse is wandering by the stream at the same place where they first met."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaojiu." Lu Yanshi kissed his daughter's cheek happily.
He carried Lu Li to the trial.
The onlookers were a little confused. How could children be brought into the government office?
But when they heard it was the Ninth Princess, they all shut up.
The fame of the Ninth Princess of Daxia has spread everywhere.
The reputation of Emperor Xia as a favored daughter was also not lost.
It's not normal for others to bring their children to hear cases, but for Emperor Xia, there's nothing to say.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me." Pang En shouted excitedly when he saw Lu Yanshi.
"Don't worry. I have already sent people to find your respective horses. They will be delivered soon." Lu Yanshi replied calmly.
Pang En was confused. What did the emperor mean? Did that poor guy Nong Sanxi really have a horse?
Nong Sanxi clenched his fists excitedly. He didn't expect that the emperor actually believed what he said.
The emperor is indeed a wise ruler!
The people watching couldn't help but talk about it.
"Your Majesty couldn't tell them apart, so he bought them each a horse, right?"
"Ah? Is the Emperor so generous?"
"Of course not. Didn't we just raid the homes of those corrupt officials? The emperor is now extremely wealthy."
The court was very quiet, which made the voices of these few people seem particularly loud.
Lu Yanshi calmly called the secret guards and kept a close eye on those people.
These people are singing the same tune, and it seems there is something wrong.
"Xiaojiu, do you know who instigated these people to come to our father for justice today?" Lu Yanshi originally wanted to ask the secret guards to investigate thoroughly, but when he looked down and saw his daughter in his arms, he simply asked directly.
Xiaojiu knows everything anyway, so why should he go far away?
Lu Li opened the melon-eating system and was about to answer, but thinking that she hadn't slept yet, she immediately said that it might be a bit bad.
So she shook her head: "I don't know yet. I'll tell you later when I wake up."
After all, she had just woken up, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to sleep any longer.
"Okay." Lu Yanshi suppressed his laughter and nodded.
Children become smarter as they grow up.
Not long after, the people who went to rescue the horses came back, and they were all surprised to find that there were actually two horses.
"This is my horse!" Pang En couldn't sit still when he saw the official gave the healthy horse to Nong Sanxi.
"No, this is my horse." Nong Sanxi hurriedly protected his little friend.
"My horse was fine, why is it in such a sickly state now?" Pang En was dissatisfied.
The horse is sick and we have to spend money to treat it, so we can't sell it for a good price.
It's still the healthy horse that counts.
"You didn't tie the reins properly, so the horse ran away. The horse ran around in chaos, fell down the mountain and got injured. This horse is yours." Lu Yanshi didn't want to waste any more words and closed the case directly.
"The leg of Nong Sanxi's horse was injured and there were signs of treatment. It was true as he said."
But Pang En refused to listen and just wanted the good horse.
"This horse's leg is injured. How can you say that one is his? That one is mine." Pang En was talking nonsense.
Nong Sanxi was anxious and didn't know how to explain it.
Lu Li suddenly spoke.
"You said it's your horse, so call it and see if it will respond to you."
Pang En was stunned: "Your Highness, you must be joking."
"I'm not kidding. If you have the guts, just call it Xiao Ma and see who it pays attention to. It will belong to that person." Lu Li said seriously.
When Nong Sanxi heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Your Highness, I will obey you."
Having said that, he walked to the gate, turned around and whistled at the horse that was still standing on the hall.
"Anu, come here, follow me back."
The horse, which had been standing still, actually walked towards him.
The onlookers all had incredulous expressions on their faces, and shouts of surprise echoed throughout the entire government office.
Pang En was stunned.
"It's your turn now. Call it and see if it will turn back." Lu Li reminded.
"If you don't call, let him call your horse again, and if your horse goes to him, both horses will belong to him."
Pang En's face turned pale and he shook his head hastily: "No, no, no, that horse is his. Mine is here."
Something is better than nothing.
That Nong Sanxi is a bit weird. He can actually call the horse away. I'm afraid his horse will run away too.
The case ended here, and Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with it.
He called Meng Shanchuan over and asked him to send Nong Sanxi home and ask his parents whether they were willing to let the child go to the capital with him.
Meng Shanchuan: I understand. The emperor is going to pick someone up again.
