MTL - Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband-Chapter 52

Murong Cheng frowned in displeasure at Ye Zhi County's incompetence, raised his hand to stop Shen Xiangyan from kneeling, and said, "Brother Yan has a title, so he can't be exempted from kneeling in the courtroom."

Not to mention that Ye Zhixian didn't understand, he had been the magistrate of Furong Town for more than ten years and he didn't know that there was a person with a title here, even Shen Xiangyan himself didn't know about it.

Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking in his direction, Murong Cheng coughed twice, stood up and straightened his clothes, and after gesturing to the guards around him, he said calmly, "President Shen accepts the order."

Everyone saw that one of the four guards, who seemed to be the leader, took out a roll of bright yellow imperial decree from his body and handed it to Prince Rong.

After Shen Xiangyan was stunned for a moment, he also realized that he didn't dare to be negligent. He lifted up his clothes and knelt down. The people in the hall and the people watching the excitement around the gate of the government office didn't dare to be disrespectful after seeing Prince Rong holding the imperial decree and looking at each other. Followed Kneel together and listen to the decree.

The content of the imperial decree was very formal, but Shen Xiangyan could only hear the general meaning that it was to thank him for saving Prince Rong from danger, and for the great kindness he had done to the royal family, he was specially conferred the title of Marquis of Ankang, and he was enshrined in the city of 700 people, etc.

"Why, Master Hou still doesn't accept the edict to thank you?" Murong Cheng saw that Shen Xiangyan still didn't know how to thank him after hearing the imperial edict, so he laughed and joked a few words. The emperor originally only wanted to confer a title, not food. But there is a huge difference in the position of Hou Shiyi. Otherwise, the Marquis title is nothing more than a name, and only by truly enjoying the title of Shiyi can the royal family's approval of Shen Xiangyan be shown. Therefore, he specially asked his mother, and the emperor agreed to make the decree.

Shen Xiangyan's current thinking is that the sky is falling, not only that, but somehow it hit him on the head. Not to mention the horror in his heart, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Ye Zhixian knelt on the ground to listen to the content of Prince Rong's imperial decree, and his chest felt oppressed, and he was more angry than others. He has been this poor sesame official in Furong Town for more than ten years. As for Shen Xiangyan, this kid became the Marquis in one day, and he didn't know what kind of luck it was to save the prince.

Seeing that the decree had been announced, Murong Cheng turned around and sat on the chair to watch the serious case of Yezhi County without further words.

Ye Zhixian understood, sat back in the hall again, and started to hear the case, speaking a little more politely than before, "I don't know what Master Shen is telling you?"

Shen Xiangyan straightened out his thoughts, and explained the ins and outs of the matter. Finally, he said, "I come here to open the door for business, and customers come and go. Every fragrance can be photographed with conscience to ensure the quality. I and this Liu Laosan No enmity in the past, no grudges in the present, I don’t know why Liu Laosan framed me Xiangzilai like this, I hope the county magistrate will investigate clearly and return my innocence to Xiangzilai.”

After hearing this, Ye Zhixian also understood that this matter must have something to do with Liu Laosan, so he said, "Bold Liu Laosan, there are all witnesses and material evidences, what else can you say?"

Every time Shen Xiangyan said a word before, Liu Laosan, who was kneeling on the ground, would tremble. He is really regretting it now, God knows that the foolproof thing was not only refuted by Boss Shen one by one with the evidence, and Boss Shen turned into Ankanghou in court, and he didn't dare to play any tricks with Prince Rong alone. Careful.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Laosan had no choice but to confess Ye Zhen in order to save himself, "The grass people are wronged, the grass people are wronged, it was Ye Zhen Ye who asked the grass people to do this, the grass people were instigated by others."

Hearing that the empress envoy was his nephew, Zhixian Ye thumped in his heart, and wished that Liu Laosan would shut up quickly, "Bold, at this time, you still refuse to confess your guilt obediently and falsely frame others. Is it intentional? I don't think so. You don't know how powerful it is to be sentenced to death."

"Everything the Caomin said is true. It is the grassroots around Mr. Ye who often comes with Xiaodongzi. He repaid the debts of the gambling house to the grassroots, and said that he would give the grassroots the other half of the money after the matter is completed." Liu Laosan I was also scared, and quickly kowtowed and shouted loudly.

Seeing that Ye Zhixian wanted to open his mouth to cover up for his nephew, Shen Xiangyan also stepped forward and said, "Lord Zhixian, since Liu Laosan said so, let's call Mr. Ye to confront him first, and we will see the truth when the twists and turns are right and wrong." , if Mr. Ye was wronged, he can also be innocent, right?"

Ye Zhixian saw that Prince Rong also nodded in agreement, so he couldn't say anything. He didn't know what his nephew was like. It's not like he didn't do this kind of thing before, but he always turned a blind eye. Forget it. This time it seems that even if he intends to excuse him, he will not succeed. After thinking about his official position, Ye Zhixian had no choice but to send someone to bring Ye Zhen back.

Not long after, Ye Zhen and his companion Chang Sui Xiaodongzi were escorted up by the yamen servants. Before they came, Ye Zhen was hanging out with a new beauty she had acquired, and she was confident when she heard the yamen servants came. After all, this Furong No one in the town didn't know his relationship with the magistrate, even if he was in the dark, he could say it was white, so he had nothing to be afraid of. I just don't know how this little Dongzi found him this time, the **** Liu Laosan can't do such a small thing.

After Ye Zhen came in, she swaggered and didn't intend to kneel. She walked around her back garden and said, "Hey, uncle, what's going on? You even called your nephew." After finishing speaking, she kicked Lao San Liu With a kick, "Damn slave, who told you to confess me, I will die."

Ye Zhen's kick was not light, and it happened to hit Liu Laosan's chest, and Liu Laosan immediately fell to the ground and groaned. Ye Zhixian sat in the hall and watched this scene, feeling like pins and needles, and gave Ye Zhen a wink, but the boy didn't look up at all. After letting this kid continue talking like this, whether he should be an official or not, he slapped the gavel and shouted, "Ye Zhen, the prince and the marquis are here, hurry up and salute!"

Only then did Ye Zhen realize that there was a man sitting in the hall, and even Shen Xiangyan didn't kneel down. Although she didn't know what happened to Lord Hou, no matter how stupid she was, she knew that she might not be able to be kind today. Shocked, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Ye Zhen, a grass-roots man, greet the prince and master."

"This nephew of Yezhi County is really very polite. I don't know how much he should be punished for contempt of the court?" Although Prince Rong sat there with his head and did not move, but in a high position, the aura of forgiveness exuded from his body still made Ye Zhixian instantly Breaking out in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes, contempt of the court deserves 20 boards, come..."

Yezhi County wanted to keep him for execution, but was stopped by Prince Rong, "Trial the case first, maybe we will be punished together at that time. Well, since you are the nephew of Yezhi County, you can't continue the trial." Let me take care of this case."

After Prince Rong said that, Ye Zhixian had no choice but to stop talking. Shen Xiangyan at the side heard what the prince said, and knew that the prince was helping him get justice, so he stood aside and continued to listen with a smile, "Liu Laosan, you Since you are said to be Ye Zhen behind the scenes, and you have evidence, I will definitely uphold justice if you tell me."

Liu Laosan knew that if he took all the charges, there would be no good fruit to eat, so he took out a purse from his arms, which contained fifty taels of silver bills, "The money owed by the grassroots to the gambling house that day One hundred taels, it was Xiaodongzi who returned it to the grass-roots people. You only need to ask the people in the gambling shop to find out about it. As for the fifty taels, Xiaodongzi gave it to me, saying that as long as Mr. Ye handles the matter well , you can get one hundred and fifty taels again, and the grassroots are also greedy for money for a while, so they fell into the villain's tricks."

Prince Rong skipped Xiao Dongzi directly, looked deeply at Ye Zhen and said, "Ye Zhen, what else can you say?" Behind the scenes. Ye Zhen was caught by Prince Rong's eyes, and she couldn't tell the slightest bit of injustice, and there were all witnesses and material evidence, and he hadn't greeted the gambling shop owner, so he had to plead guilty in the end.

"Since I have pleaded guilty, the sentence should be handed over to Ye Zhixian." Although Ye Zhixian was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to show the slightest bit on his face, so he had to fine Ye Zhen and Liu Laosan by 40 boards each, and let Ye Zhen Take five hundred taels of silver, right as compensation to Xiang Zilai.

Although Shen Xiangyan was not very satisfied with this result, he knew that he couldn't let it go. His purpose was to teach the other party a lesson, so that they would not dare to do anything to him in the future. Now that he has won the title of Lord Marquis for nothing, thoughtful people will naturally weigh the weight. Now that the purpose has been achieved, it is okay up.

Shen Xiangyan looked at Murong Cheng who had already walked towards him, smiled, and said as usual, "My lord, I agreed to go to my younger brother's house before to get drunk or not." Returned, it still counts now.”

Seeing that Shen Xiangyan's attitude towards him remained the same, Murong Cheng laughed sincerely, it's rare for people like them to have a few bosom friends. He admired Shen Xiangyan very much before, and he was afraid that the other party's knowledge of his identity would affect him, but now that Shen Xiangyan's attitude towards him is still the same as before, he is also relieved.

At this time, Xia Rong didn't know that Shen Xiangyan had suddenly turned into Marquis of Ankang, and that he was currently nestling at home secretly embroidering purses. Although his husband forbids him to touch these things, he really wanted to change them for him. But this time he is a top learner, and he sent someone to watch at the gate early on. As long as he sees Xianggong coming back, he will come to notify him, and he just needs to put away the things when the time comes.

But Shen Xiangyan didn't wait, he waited for Qin Yue who was beside Shen Xiangyan first, Qin Yue was ordered to come back first and tell Xia Rong that the master was conferred the title of Marquis of Ankang. Come here and let the family arrange the banquet in advance.

After hearing this, Xia Rong still couldn't believe it, and she didn't want to embroider her purse any more. She held He Xin's hand for a long time before asking Qin Yue what was going on. After Qin Yue finally explained how Liu Laosan slandered Xiang Zilai, Shen Xiangyan found evidence to prove Xiang Zilai's innocence in front of everyone, and then confronted the court, Prince Rong revealed his identity, and so on. Only then did Xia Rong understand what had happened, and hurriedly ordered, "He Miao, go to the kitchen yourself so that Mrs. Rong can act quickly and prepare a table of special dishes. And He Xin, tell the servants to do their own thing. Post, when husband and prince come back later, be vigilant and don't make mistakes."

After explaining to the two of them, Xia Rong finally digested Qin Yue's previous words. First of all, he didn't think about Shen Xiangyan's title. It's because of Xianggong who didn't know the seriousness and brought this matter to the government office and was afraid. Ye Zhen is Ye Zhixian's nephew. It's good luck to meet the prince this time. If you don't get benefits, you may be fined if you are serious. Hmph, you must talk about it when your husband comes back.
