Chapter 247 The Prince takes Jin Cheng to investigate a case

Zong Wenxiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll just treat it as a practice in writing. Just remember, don't be so impulsive next time."

The little devil pouted and asked, "Brother, is it really that serious? Mother looks very angry. I don't understand. Isn't this just a little prank? When I chased Wei Xinglu and beat him, I didn't see her so angry about his behavior."

When Wei Xinglu heard his name, he quickly leaned over and asked, "Yes, yes, did Auntie punish us too harshly?"

Zong Wenxiu sighed and said, "That's because you and Wei Xinglu are good friends. This kind of prank between good friends can be considered an excessive prank. But it's not the case between us and Qin Ye. This is actually a bit of bullying him and disrespecting him."

"Ah? Disrespect for others...is that so?" Zong Jincheng lowered his head, thinking.

Zong Wenxiu continued, "In fact, if it was Qin Shi, it wouldn't be so serious. It's not just because Qin Shi has a good temper, but we are friends. Some jokes can be accepted by acquaintances, but people who are not familiar with them will feel offended and bullied. Also, among acquaintances, it depends on the other person's personality. Some people with more serious personalities are not suitable for such jokes."

My younger brother is smart, but he has a carefree personality and it is difficult for him to understand the delicate thoughts of sensitive people. I can only break down every sentence and explain it to him.

"Oh... got it." The little devil curled his lips, lay on the small table and began to write a self-criticism.

The other kids listened to it and their ideas gradually came to their mind, so they started writing one after another.

The maid came in and said, "Master Xiu, Madam said you can go back now and don't have to accompany the four young masters to be punished."

As soon as these words came out, the four guys immediately looked at him, as if if he dared to leave, he would be a traitor to the organization.

Zong Wenxiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and refused the maid, saying, "No, thank my aunt for her kindness on my behalf. I am also at fault in this matter, and I should be punished along with my brothers."

He Zheng said dully, "Brother Wenxiu, what's wrong with you? You didn't even climb over the wall with us."

Zong Wenxiu said, "We are in the same class. We all rise and fall together. Although I didn't climb over the wall, as an older brother, I didn't help you. That was my fault."

The little devil scratched his head and said, "But brother, isn't it normal that you can't stop the four of us by yourself? If you say so, Bu Yan will have to accompany us to write a self-criticism because he also took action."

Without saying a word: “……!”

Ancestor! I call you Ancestor!

Living ancestor!!

Zong Wenxiu's mouth twitched as he said, "Buyan is just following your orders. He is doing this to protect us. He is right." He nodded to the maid and confirmed again that she would stay and be punished together. Only then did the maid leave.

After making sure that he would not leave, the five people started to edit the self-review again. The scorching sun outside the ancestral hall was burning the earth, and the ancestral hall was so quiet that only the occasional sad voice of "I don't know what to write" uttered by the children could be heard.

That night, at the Qin Mansion.

Qin Shi looked at the ten thousand-word self-review sent by the Zong family, and his mind was a little confused. This apology was so unique...

Moreover, what a big battle...

Qin Ye came over, picked up a self-criticism, and read a few sentences: I am ashamed of my ancestors of the Zong family, I am ashamed of my ancestors of the Shen family, and I am ashamed that I don’t have the appearance of a founding hero...

Qin Ye: “?”

"Why doesn't he just apologize to Pangu for creating the world?"

Qin Shi was amused by him. He took it and took a look. It was indeed the self-criticism written by Shen Yibai. The handwriting was messy, the logic was messy, and the article was rambling. It was obvious that the two thousand words were forcefully cobbled together.

"It should be the elders of the Zong family who punished them to write a 2,000-word self-criticism each. Look, Jincheng's self-criticism said that it was their mother who punished them to kneel in the ancestral hall and write it."

Qin Ye said in a stern voice: "The punishment is good. If it is not punished, he will not learn his lesson."

Qin Shi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry, they are just..."

Qin Ye held Zong Wenxiu's self-review and said, "They were originally coming for me."

Qin Shi: "...Well, it seems so."

Qin Ye snorted coldly: "If you dare to make trouble again, I won't be polite."

Qin Shi scratched his head, but he really couldn't say anything to persuade him.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jin Cheng was called away by the prince again.

In addition to chatting in the palace on the first day of every month, the prince would take the kid out every ten days or half a month. Sometimes he would go to the Dali Temple to watch people judge cases, sometimes he would go to the Ministry of Justice to read case files, and sometimes he would go to the Ministry of Personnel to check the promotion records of officials.

The prince did not shy away from it, and the high officials in the capital gradually got used to it, almost tacitly acknowledging that this was his illegitimate child, and they opened a backdoor for Zong Jincheng all the way.

The officials thought: He was just a nine-year-old kid who knew nothing. He probably just liked to watch the excitement, so he pestered the prince to go out and play.

This day, in the Dali Temple.

The court was hearing a case of intentional homicide. The victim, Liu Wu, was killed at home by his mother who smashed his head. Kneeling below was Liu Wu's mother, who was terrifyingly calm at the moment.

The prince, in casual clothes, sat on one side with the little devil, quietly watching the Dali Temple judge trying the case. This case was originally very simple. The murderer voluntarily surrendered himself, and the government only needed to deal with the murderer according to the procedure.

However, since ancient times, there have been many cases of husbands, wives and mothers killing each other, but mothers killing their sons is uncommon. When the government investigated the case, they found that Liu Wu was tall and his mother was petite. With her ability, she could not kill Liu Wu at all, and there was no sign of drugging on Liu Wu's body.

Liu's mother explained that she took advantage of her son's nap and hit him with one strike.

The Dali Temple said: "According to Liu Wu's wife and children, Liu Wu never had the habit of taking a nap. The coroner found that he did not die at night. Based on this, how do you explain it?"

Mother Liu sneered, "Just kill me, why are you asking so many questions? Why did you take me to the Dali Temple for a serious trial? What kind of serious case is this? Is it true that only sons can kill mothers, but mothers cannot kill sons?"

"How has Liu Wu wronged you? Neighbors all say that he is very filial to you."

Mother Liu said indifferently: "What's the point of being filial? I hate his father, and I hate him even more because he has the same blood as his father. If his father hadn't died early, I would have sent him and his son away together."

"How dare you! You vicious woman..." The Grand Justice was furious when she heard these words, but she swallowed her anger when she remembered that the Crown Prince was still sitting below.

"You are such a vicious woman. Liu Wu has been filial to you for more than 20 years. The child is innocent. How can you transfer your hatred for his father to such a filial child?"

Mother Liu smiled coldly and said, "The child is innocent... The child is innocent, so he deserves to die even more."

"What do you mean by that?"

Mother Liu stopped talking and looked as if she wanted to die.

The prince was watching quietly at the side, with a faint smile on his face. He whispered to the young man who was listening attentively beside him, "Jincheng, did you notice anything unusual?"
