The King's Favor [Rebirth]

Chapter 26

Xie Linxi has always been vigorous and resolute in investigating and handling cases.

After finding Master Zhang Xi's house and confirming that the person is really inside.He directly took him down and secretly brought him back to the Heavenly Prison Secretary.

This Zhangxi should have something in Zhang Xian's hands. At the beginning, he knew that he was in the prison department, his eyes were full of fear, but his mouth was very stubborn, he gritted his teeth and insisted on not saying a word.

Regarding the old woman's accusation, Zhang Xi said that she was jealous of Zhang Xian's appointment as an official and resented her so much that she was bribed by others, desperately trying to discredit Zhang Xian.In the end, Zhang Xi also said that those people all had contracts of sale, and all of them were death contracts.

Now that the death contract is signed, the life and death of the old woman's granddaughter has nothing to do with her.Speaking of this, Zhang Xi suddenly gained confidence.

Zhang Xidao: "Who would sign the deed of living for the buyer? You personally pressed your handprint to sell the deed of death. Why don't you admit it now? She is so poor that she sold her granddaughter. How could she sign the deed of living? She is so old At this age, I will not be able to redeem people in the future, let alone earn money. Besides, everyone knows that signing a death contract will cost a lot of money."

The more he spoke, the calmer Zhang Xi's expression became. He only felt that his whole body was full of rationale, and there was a little humming behind him.

But when he met Xie Linxi's calm face, he didn't dare to laugh.Not only did he not dare, but the expression on his face became a lot more cautious. He said: "Commander Xie, the Heavenly Prison Division must also pay attention to whether the evidence is correct or not. There is no rule in Daqi's law. If she sells someone, I can't buy it. You There is no evidence to arrest me, if you torture me again, it will be torture."

Xie Linxi has always been the only one who threatens others, and this is the first time someone threatened him. He was not very happy, so he nodded with a gentle face and said, "It makes sense to hear you say that. This is the first time someone has taught me to How to do things is very fresh."

Zhang Xi was not delighted by his kind appearance, instead his heart tightened.

Xie Linxi's evaluation among many officials was not very good. In private, everyone was very curious about how he could do such a cruel thing with such a handsome face.

Many people said that when Xie Linxi laughed, the people in the prison would shed a layer of skin, and when he didn't smile, the people in the prison would peel off into jerky.Imagining in his mind that he would go through various punishments, Zhang Xi almost passed out.

His family's master Zhang Xian once said that he would rather offend Prince Regent Qi Jingyuan than easily offend Linxi.

Xie Linxi glanced at Zhang Xi and knew what was going on in his head.

He pulled a red-hot iron bump casually, Zhang Xi shrank, Xie Linxi didn't use it on him, but gestured twice in front of his face and blew on it: "Master Zhang is a smart man!" Man, I'm here tonight trying to figure out if I have anything to say."

Zhang Xi swallowed his saliva, and when he saw Xie Linxi leave, he was relieved, he didn't expect to torture himself.

Xie Linxi stopped and looked back at him and said with a smile: "If Mr. Zhang is not satisfied, I can satisfy your wish."

Only then did Zhang Xi realize that he had unknowingly spoken out what was in his heart.

In an instant, he shook his head frantically, expressing that he had no such intention at all.

Xie Linxi snorted at him, turned and left.He hummed softly, almost scaring Zhang Xi to death.

After leaving the gate of the Prison Division, facing the cold wind, Xie Linxi did not gather his clothes, but took out the folding fan and beat it twice on his hand.

Anyone who doesn't know his identity and reputation will think that he is a romantic son of some aristocratic family at a glance.

Xie Linxi returned to Xie's house.

The old lady Lin is washing clothes for the servants of Xie's house.

She is a stubborn person, and she is not used to eating and drinking for free, so when she came to Xie's house, she would do some work within her ability.

When she heard Zhang Bo Xie Linxi wanted to see her, she hurriedly washed her hands in cold water before getting up and following Zhang Bo.

Uncle Zhang was also very sorry for what happened to her, but he didn't say much.

When Xie Linxi saw someone, she didn't hide it from her. She said Zhang Xi's words again, and then said, "Is it a death contract?"

The old woman was dumbfounded. She shook her head and said in disbelief, "How could it be a dead contract? At that time, it was said that it was a contract of living. I also checked with the village chief, and he said it was a contract of living."

Her heart was flustered, and she wanted to cry out loud, but nothing flowed from her eyes at this moment.

She was full of despair, even more desperate than when she wanted to come to the capital.

Finally, she looked at Xie Linxi and said, "My lord, can I still see my granddaughter?"

Xie Linxi said: "One person said it was a live contract and the other said it was a dead contract. Since there is a dispute, it is natural to check it out."

There was a gleam of light in the old woman's cloudy eyes.

Zhang Xian heard that Zhang Xi was taken away by Xie Linxi when he was about to go to court the next day.

By the time he asked about the cause and effect, it was time to go to the morning court.

Zhang Xian understood very well what it meant to stay overnight in the Prison Division.

No one can easily bear the punishment of the prisoner, Zhang Xi is the same, but I don't know what he said.

Zhang Xian hesitated for a while in the room, and finally tidied up his official clothes and went to the morning court.No matter what Zhang Xi said, some things had nothing to do with him.

Today's morning is a bit dull, no one is going to talk about state affairs.

After Qi Jingyuan asked about the progress of the Zuo family's annihilation in the lower punishment department, he didn't say anything more.

The little emperor didn't have anything to say, he looked at the crowd, and when he was about to retreat, Zhang Xian looked at Xie Linxi, who was in the crowd who was calm, he gritted his teeth, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have a humble subject to play."

When the little emperor saw that it was Zhang Xian, his first reaction was to look at Qi Jingyuan.

After all, the person Zhang Xian targeted the most in the court was Qi Jingyuan.

Qi Jingyuan also had some surprise on his face, he squinted at Zhang Xian, as if waiting for him to make a move.

As soon as this came out, the dull atmosphere disappeared instantly, and even the half-closed Taifu Ji Mingyi opened his eyes.

The little emperor coughed twice, and said a few words.

Zhang Xian knelt on the ground, and the first thing he said was to sue Xie Linxi for being lawless and arresting people at the feet of the emperor.

Qi Jingyuan's eyelids drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye following Zhang Xian's words.

Xie Linxi asked in surprise, "Why did Mr. Zhang say that?"

Zhang Xian said with resentment: "Commander Xie, in front of the emperor, how dare you deny it? What did my master Zhang Xi do that needs to be troubled? Commander Xie didn't say hello, so he was arrested and tortured by the prison minister?"

"Master Zhang's words are serious. What do you mean by catching the Prisoner and extorting a confession by torture?" Before Xie Linxi could speak, Qi Jingyuan said quietly: "Why, in the eyes of Mr. Zhang, the Prisoner of Heaven is a place without laws?"

Zhang Xian said with a righteous face: "I know that the prince trusts Commander Xie, but now I just want to know what happened to Zhang Xi. I also hope Commander Xie can give me an explanation in front of the emperor."

This time, without waiting for the little emperor to speak, Qi Jingyuan turned slightly, looked at Xie Linxi with a smile and said, "Linxi, if you have suffered any grievances, you can speak up. Even if Master Zhang is a censor, he must pay attention to evidence."

When everyone heard this, they were all thinking in their hearts, how did Qi Jingyuan have the nerve to say this.

The point is, he had the nerve to say it, and Xie Linxi was also very willing to accept it, he said: "What the prince said is true. After all, what Mr. Zhang said, I don't understand at all."

Then before Zhang Xian jumped up and got angry, he said again: "As for the arrest of Zhang Xi, there is such a thing. The main reason is that the minister recently found out that Zhang Xi is related to a human trafficking case."

Speaking of this, he gave Zhang Xian a sideways look: "Weichen just found out here, and Zhang Yushi acted like this. Even if he loves the master sincerely, he shouldn't accuse Weichen without asking."

Zhang Xianwei was stunned, Qi Jingyuan said in surprise, "People trading?"

Xie Linxi immediately told about the old woman, covering up Zhang Xian's different preferences, and only said that there was a disagreement between the life deed and the death deed.

After hearing this, Qi Jingyuan said with a smile: "Master Zhang, does Mr. Zhang know about buying people? Is it a living contract or a dead contract?"

"Of course it's a dead contract." Zhang Xian had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still bit the bullet and said, "Zhang Xi mentioned the matter of buying someone to the minister, and the contract minister has also seen it, so there is no problem."

"This is a big problem." Xie Linxi said: "The person Zhang Xi bought was a little girl who was less than seven or eight years old. According to Weichen's investigation, he bought a lot of them intermittently over the years, and now the house is still filled with little girls. , what about the old ones."

"Perhaps it was not used well, so it was sold." Zhang Xian frowned and said, "Since it is a death contract, there is nothing to discuss. Commander Xie, don't you want to change the subject in front of the emperor?"

"Why is it changing the subject?" Xie Linxi said without changing his face: "It's not good for girls in their teens, but it's good for seven or eight-year-old girls. Master Zhang's words are very different."

Hearing what he said pointedly, Zhang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could say anything, Xie Linxi said again: "The most important thing is that according to my investigation, Zhang Xi's family was very poor before. Since he followed Zhang Yushi, he has gained some wealth. These years Zhang Xi Yushi has always lived a poor life, Zhang Xi is more comfortable as a master than Zhang Yushi, and even has spare money to buy girls every now and then. It is still a death contract, it will cost a lot of money, this master is comparable You, the censor, are much more comfortable."

"Commander Xie." Zhang Xian almost laughed angrily: "The fact that Zhang Xi bought a maidservant is worthy of Commander Xie's surprise? My Zhang family's family is not very rich, but the money for the master can still buy two and sign it to death." Where is Qi's maid?"

"These maidservants are all members of the same clan in Zhang Yushi's old family. Zhang Yushi, as the master of Qingtian in the eyes of the common people, never thought of signing a contract of living with two taels of silver? After all, they are also poor people, and the famine at home can't survive. Just sold his relatives, and Zhang Yushi just watched the people of the same clan fall into such a situation?" Xie Linxi taunted: "Zhang Yushi also got his fame from the Zhangjia Village. Now that he is prosperous, he never thought about it. Give some money to help these clansmen who can't survive?"

How could Zhang Xian stand Xie Linxi's ridicule? He said, "Master Xie, I have a duty to help people of the same clan. I have also donated some money to the village. There are records in Zhangjia Village. But these are the same as others. What does it matter whether it is a contract of living or a contract of death? Commander Xie is too messy."

Xie Linxi just pretended not to understand his words and continued to sneer and said: "Master Zhang, you know that they can't survive the famine, and you have given money to help them. I didn't expect them to sell their relatives even if they are not satisfied? That master of yours Zhang Xi is even a good person, they are willing to sell, so he bought it, which can be regarded as a fulfillment for them, and in the future, for the sake of the same clan, he can return the death contract to them?"

Zhang Xian knew in his heart that Xie Linxi must have his own purpose in saying these things. This person is cunning, and what he wants to say is definitely not this.But he didn't think that Xie Linxi would know about his hobby, after all, he hid it very deeply, and few people around him knew about it.

The old woman who came from afar would not even know.

Thinking of this, he said: "Commander Xie, it is up to me to stop the buying and selling of maidservants. Since it is sold, I will not intervene no matter whether it is a living contract or a dead contract. This person belongs to Zhang Xi, and I cannot use my power to suppress him." , Change the dead contract into a living contract. If this is the first, everyone will use the dead contract to talk about things in the future, wouldn’t it be a mess? Of course, if Zhang Xi wants to, the minister will not stop him. "

"Zhang Yushi is testifying for his master, proving that his death contract is okay?" This time, before Xie Linxi could speak, Qi Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang Yushi, you have to be responsible for what you say, because you slandered Xie Linxi for a master." Commander, that would be bad."

Zhang Xian frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I know about Zhang Xi's purchase of the death contract, so I dare not slander Commander Xie, but Commander Xie keeps saying that Zhang Xi shouldn't buy someone. I don't know why."

"What's the reason? I'd also like to ask Zhang Yushi what he meant by saying that." Xie Linxi sneered, "In this autumn, Zhang Yushi still gave a note in front of the emperor saying that the weather in his hometown Zhangjia Village is good and the people are happy. Ankang is a sign of the auspiciousness of heaven. How come today, he admits that he knows that there is no food in Zhangjiacun, and he is going to sell people. Which sentence is true and which sentence is false by Zhang Yushi? crime?"

"Oh, listening to what Linxi said, the king remembered it. At that time, the king said that the people's harvests were not very good in recent years, and there were floods and droughts. At that time, Zhang Yushi kept saying that the king was talking nonsense. I can't see Daqi's country is peaceful and the people are safe, there are a lot of miscellaneous things around this king, and I didn't think about sending someone to Zhangjia Village to investigate, I didn't expect that Zhang Yushi, who is known as the blue sky, would joke with me like this." After speaking, Qi Jingyuan With a sneer.

There was silence in the main hall, and everyone could see that Xie Linxi had been aggressive just now, and he was simply letting Zhang Xian slip into his trap.
