Meeting Li Yuan
The surrounding crowd was chattering. When Cui Hua and Zhang Zhi heard this, they were even more furious. Not to mention that a woman had to keep her morals, if she was unwilling to marry, there were many ways. On one hand, she enjoyed Zhang Quan's care for her, but on the other hand, she despised Zhang Quan for not being able to give her happiness. She was really a whore who wanted to build a memorial arch.
The county magistrate saw that the matter was almost settled. He looked at the bailiff and said,"Lock Wang Xiulan in the cell and send someone to find Liu Hu. If the two of them work together to kill the victim, Zhang Quan won't be able to escape.”
"Yes, sir! County Magistrate." The bailiffs replied respectfully.
After that, the bailiffs walked towards Xiu Lan. Cui Hua looked at Xiu Lan's unrepentant appearance and was also extremely angry. However, when she thought of what Xiu Lan had done for her, Zhang Quan could be considered to have been avenged.
Xiu Lan was locked up in the prison. Fang Jun saw that the matter was resolved and left. Some enthusiastic onlookers revealed where Liu Hu's home was to the bailiffs.
Cui Hua and Zhang Zhi also returned home to bury their younger brother properly.
The news of Fang Jun's witty resolution of the case spread like wildfire. Even the children playing on the streets knew about this matter.
In the Imperial Palace, Li Shimin was having a meal with Empress Zhangsun when he saw Zhao Dequan walk in, beaming with joy.
Li Shi Min frowned. What was Zhao Dequan doing here during a meal?
Zhao Dequan walked in and waited for Li Shiming and his wife to finish their meal. Then, he walked up to Li Shiming and bowed,"Emperor, the news of Fang Daren's verdict today has spread like wildfire, even this one has only just heard of it.”
"Settle the case?" Li Shimin looked at Zhao Dequan and asked. What is it?"
Empress Zhangsun also looked over at Zhao Dequan.
Zhao Dequan lowered his head and said," Your Majesty, it seems that Lord Fang went to patrol the streets and saw a case and walked into the county office. This case is called the murder of her husband."”
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun also became interested when they heard about the murder of their husband.
Zhao Dequan continued," This case started with a big fire. The deceased's brother saw that the victim's house was on fire and quickly went to put out the fire. However, the victim's wife happened to return to her mother's house that day. That little lady was usually frivolous and there were rumors that she found an adulterer. The deceased's brother felt that this little lady and her adulterer must have killed his brother, so he filed a lawsuit.”
"At that time, both sides insisted on their own story, but there was no evidence. The corpse of the deceased was also partially destroyed by the fire, so it was impossible to determine when the deceased died. If he died before the fire, it must be the work of the deceased's wife and adulterer.”
Li Shi Min and Empress Zhangsun heard this and began to think about how they would solve this matter if they encountered such a thing.
Zhao Dequan paused for a moment before continuing,"The Magistrate didn't know what to do, but Lord Fang used two pigs to convict that young lady."”
Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
"Two pigs," Empress Zhangsun said with a smile."This is interesting.”
Zhao Dequan also smiled and said," Your Majesty, you're right. After all, how could two pigs determine the authenticity of that case? But Lord Fang did it. He asked someone to bring two pigs, one alive and one dead. They were placed in the thatched hut and surrounded by fire.”
"After the incident, the living pig breathed after being burned to death, so there was dust in its nose. The dead pig naturally couldn't breathe, so there was no dust. When Lord Fang pointed it out, there was an uproar. He sent a coroner to examine the corpse, but there was no dust in the nose.”
After Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun heard this, they were also extremely shocked. They didn't expect Fang Jun to know how to solve cases. Moreover, this method was so wonderful that he could come up with such a method in such a short time. It seemed that Fang Jun's ability was still great.
Zhao Dequan retreated to the side after he finished speaking. When he found out about this, he was also extremely shocked. He did not expect Lord Fang to be able to resolve the case. It was really a pleasant surprise.
The Great Peace Palace was located in the depths of the Imperial Palace. Li Yuan, who was in the Great Peace Palace, had also heard about Fang Jun's verdict.
Li Yuan stroked his chin and said,""Interesting indeed."
The beauty beside him looked at Li Yuan's appearance and leaned over to fall into Li Yuan's arms. She said sweetly,"Retired Emperor, could it be that this Fang Jun is more interesting than Hua Lan?”
Li Yuan came back to his senses and looked at Hua Lan throwing herself into his arms. He hugged Hua Lan's waist with one hand and said,"How can I compare to you?"
When Hua Lan heard this, she laughed in Li Yuan's arms.
Li Yuan turned to look at his father-in-law who was standing in the hall with his head lowered."Zhen wants to see Fang Jun.”
"Yes, Retired Emperor," the eunuch replied respectfully.”
The father-in-law turned around and left after he finished speaking.
Li Shi Min was a little surprised when he heard this father-in-law's words. His father actually wanted to see Fang Jun, so he couldn't refuse. After all, Princess Chang Le was also his granddaughter. However, he was also a little worried about Fang Jun. Moreover, his father's temper was not good. He was afraid that the two of them would have a conflict.
Li Shi Min looked at the eunuch and said,""Zhen understands. Go back and tell Retired Emperor that Zhen will immediately arrange for Fang Jun to enter the palace.”
When the eunuch heard this, he hurriedly bowed and left.
Li Shimin looked at Zhao Dequan and said,"Quickly arrange for Fang Jun to enter the palace. After entering the palace, come to me first."”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Dequan nodded respectfully.”
Zhao Dequan sent someone to inform Fang Jun.
Empress Zhangsun naturally saw Li Shimin's worry and comforted him,""Emperor, don't worry too much. Retired Emperor won't do anything too excessive.”
Li Shimin looked at Empress Zhangsun and said,""I only know what to do in this matter. Quickly drink the medicine. If the medicine turns cold, it will have no effect.”
Empress Zhangsun smiled and said,"Yes, Your Majesty."”
After she finished speaking, she took the medicinal soup from the female servant and drank it in one gulp.
The bitter taste of the medicine spread in her mouth, and Empress Zhangsun could not help but frown.
After a while, Fang Jun arrived at the palace. After seeing Zhao Dequan report to Li Shiming, he followed him in.
"Your son greets father." Fang Jun's voice rang out in the hall.
Li Shi Min heard the sound and looked up at Fang Jun,"Today, I let you enter the palace because the Retired Emperor wants to see you. However, you must not disobey the Retired Emperor and try your best to follow the Retired Emperor.”
