The Yamen is an optional institution in Nanjing. Since the emperor came to Nanjing, the Yamen has no other use except to shock the people with his authority. At present, the four identities guarded by the officers and soldiers are not affordable to the Yamen. In the Yamen, there was a sudden silence, and even the county magistrate and judge who have always been in anger and do not know how to try the case.

In the yamen, the four people were like four great gods. The county magistrate was sweating in the face of them. He had given the complaint to His Majesty Zhu Yuanzhang before, hoping that Zhu Yuanzhang would make a decision for this case. However, Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor of a generation, sent this burden back to them, which really made the county magistrate and judge.

In the yamen, if ordinary people are in accordance with etiquette, they should kneel in the lobby. However, even if these four people are standing, the county magistrate and the judge dare not order these four people to kneel down. Who are these four? One prince, one prime minister, one prince’s friend, the imperial censor appointed by His Majesty, and the other victim is the son of the prime minister. The prime minister’s son has a noble status, and even the life of the county magistrate and the judge is not as important as his.

"Young Master Hu, do you say that the Fourth Highness and Ma Wenhe beat you up? Is it true?" Looking at the complaint, the county magistrate couldn't help but cry. He really didn't want to provoke these great gods, but Hu Weiyong was still standing beside Hu Pengju, and he had to pretend to be a judge.

"Let me say something here. We didn't beat him up. Although he played the role of mocking Your Highness before, we don't remember the villain and even gave him a bottle of fine wine. If you don't believe it, you can ask him!" Ma Sanbao said before Hu Pengju could speak first, and Hu Pengju was so angry that he stared at him.

The wine is indeed true. Hu Pengju did drink fine wine, but the wine was a bit important, and he didn't remember how much he drank. When he woke up, all the fine wine in front of him was empty. Fortunately, Zhu Di didn't give it much. If it were a large jar, Hu Pengju would not think that the fine wine was drunk with the courtesans.

"Mr. Hu, Ma Wenhe is unwilling to admit that he was beating people, but what he said is true about giving wine?" The county magistrate asked respectfully. Even the judges around him recorded the content of the interrogation in the notebook tremblingly. He was afraid that he would make any mistakes, and this was a job of losing his head.

"What he said is indeed true. The wine was delivered and I finished drinking it. Although I don't know what happened next, I can be sure that they beat me up. They must have bad intentions when they sent the wine." Hu Pengju pointed at Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di angrily, a little hysterical, and pointed at his face with a bruised nose and swollen face. The once extremely handsome face is now like Zhu Bajie's head.

"My son said so. Does the county magistrate judge have a judgment? Punishment of Ma Wenhe and the Fourth His Highness? Since Your Majesty has asked you to decide before, you must give an explanation to my son Hu Pengju." Hu Weiyong said, standing next to his son, putting his broad palm on his son's shoulders, giving Hu Pengju a very stable support.

"Since that's the case, we will judge Ma Wenheyou..." The county magistrate judge had just spoken. A eunuch came outside the yamen. Generally speaking, eunuchs served the emperor and the harem in the palace and rarely went out. The eunuchs who could appear in the yamen obviously had a task.

"You keep going. Your Majesty asked me to give the censor the waist card and the documents, just pretend that I don't exist." The eunuch said to the county magistrate and the judge with a smile, which scared the county magistrate and the judge in a cold sweat. The eunuch came according to His Majesty's will. Obviously, this is His Majesty's intention. If they misjudgment, His Majesty will definitely not give them good colors, and they will even be executed.

"You haven't finished talking yet? What do I have? By the way, didn't he just say that he didn't know what happened next? This sentenced me to be guilty. Is it too partial to Mr. Hu? We sent wine to make friends with him, but he is fine. The evil man complained first. We heard in Yihonglou that Mr. Hu has strange habits, maybe it was caused by his own habits? This cannot be blamed on me and Your Highness, Mr. Hu, if you say you are not strange, if you say you are not strange, you can't blame me and Your Highness.

A strange habit, you can ask the courtesans of Yihonglou to face it, and look for the courtesans you often look for. If you don’t look for it, wouldn’t I have the waist card of the inspector? I’ll help you find it?" Ma Sanbao said. He took the waist card of the inspector from the eunuch and looked at Hu Pengju with a smile. Although the inspector is only a ninth-rank official position, the waist card is still useful at least, and it is still accurate to scare the courtesans.

"You...you are slandering! The evil man complains first, father, judge, county magistrate, you must make the decision for me. I, Hu Pengju, can't be beaten so unknown!" Hu Pengju was furious. At the moment, the gloating expressions of Zhu Di and Ma Sanbao made him understand that the two people in front of him were the perpetrators who beat him, but there was no evidence.

"Your Majesty said that the judgment depends on the judge and the county magistrate, not on the quarrel between you. I have no other intention, I just want a fair judgment." The eunuch looked at the county magistrate and the judge. His cold eyes scared the two of them so much that they dared not speak. Although the eunuch demanded justice and his majesty's decree, the current person had the answer in the eyes of the county magistrate and the judge, that was to accuse Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di. But how dare they say it in front of Hu Weiyong?

"Don't worry, Your Majesty said that no one can influence the result of this judgment. Please ask the judge and the county magistrate to be the leader, fair, just, and not to do any partiality." The eunuch said coldly. He was supposed to be here to give Ma San the waist card and documents, now standing by the county magistrate and the judge, giving the county magistrate and the judge a huge pressure invisibly.

The county magistrate and the judge both had troubles in their hearts. At present, Mr. Hu believed that Ma Sanbao was the murderer, and Ma Sanbao also attracted His Majesty's favor because of his poems. The reason for sending documents and badges in the yamen lobby was obvious, which also showed His Majesty's intentions. On one hand, he was the prime minister and on the other hand, he was a celebrity who was optimistic about. Although he was still young, he had unlimited room for development. This made the county magistrate and the judges feel mixed feelings and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Hu Weiyong and Hu Pengju and his son frowned and stared at the judge for a long time, waiting for the judge's reply. It doesn't matter to Ma Sanbao and the fourth prince Zhu Di. Anyway, Hu Pengju has no evidence, and the courtesan cannot call him. If the evidence is insufficient, I will forgive the judges and county magistrates who dare not judge randomly.

The eyes of several people were as sharp as the gaze, which made the judge and the county magistrate's hearts furious. Even the hands of writing were extremely trembling, and the handwriting on the paper became crooked. It was obviously an old man to sit in the Nanjing City Yamen. But in the face of such a big scene, this was the first time they saw them. They were usually decisive and even had the idea of ​​taking off their black hats. The pressure on this case was really too great. Generally, the cases of the children of aristocrats could not be attributed to them. That was the matter of the Ministry of Justice. Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong's complaint made them the executors of this case.

"You declare, I'll listen." The county magistrate placed the verdict in front of the judge. The judge's expression was a tragic, like a hero who was going to die. He was reluctant in his heart, but his official position was not as good as the county magistrate and he didn't dare to commit crimes. He had to swallow his saliva and hold the verdict in his trembling hands. This was the most outrageous case he had encountered in most of his life.

"I have determined that Hu Peng's evidence in this case is insufficient to prove the crimes of Ma Wenhe and the Fourth Prince Zhu Di. In this case, Ma Wenhe and the Fourth Prince Zhu Di are innocent. If Hu Pengju has substantial evidence, it can be provided to me. Otherwise, the judgment will take effect and be established." Although there is not much content in the verdict, the judge is like a thorn in his throat. Whenever a word is expressed, he will be frightened and his heart beat faster. Until he read the contents of the verdict, he leaned on the chair with relief. His back was already soaked in cold sweat. He felt the bad eyes of Hu Weiyong and Hu Pengju. Every time he said a word, the eyes of Hu Weiyong and his son became sharper, as if the sharpness was pressed against his neck.

"nice!" Ma Sanbao couldn't help but whistle the foreign language and made a victory posture. In the eyes of Hu Pengju and Hu Weiyong, it was undoubtedly a provocation. Only Zhu Di did not care about Ma Sanbao's excited expression and actions, but instead asked in confusion what the word Ma Sanbao just said meant.

"What a verdict! I don't accept it! Why do we find that they are innocent if there is insufficient evidence?" Hu Pengju roared in a restless manner, looking at Ma Sanbao and Zheng He who were gloating in front of him, his eyes were full of fire. Unfortunately, he could not find out that the certification and physical evidence were used by Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di. Even if he had intuition, what could intuition do? Intuition is not a proof and could not help him agree to the lawsuit.

"Mr. Hu, although I am very sad for you, it is true that you were beaten, but you can't let Your Highness and you be scapegoats. I want to be wronged. It's just that you are wrong. I thought you might have surrendered to the wrong person at the banquet of Your Highness. It's normal to surrender to the third Highness to target me. Now it seems that you have paranoia for being killed. This is a slander. You should do less in the future and accumulate some virtue for yourself and become an immortal in the future." Ma Sanbao spoke up, and Hu Pengju was so angry that he was going to hit someone in court. Fortunately, he was stopped. Otherwise, this would be a conclusive crime. Hu Pengju's fate was to be left in prison for several days, even Hu Weiyong could not save him.

"What a clever boy, Pengju, let's go! But Ma Wenhe, you have to remember, don't seize the opportunity to deal with you next time! Otherwise, I will let you die without a burial place!" Hu Weiyong glared at Ma Sanbao, held down the impulsive Hu Pengju, and threatened Ma Sanbao. However, his threat seemed to have no effect, and Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di were talking and laughing.

"Mr. County Magistrate, Judge, I apologize to you for Hu Pengju. Although this case is wrong, I am the first to make mistakes. I shouldn't have been making trouble with Your Highness, right?" Before leaving, Ma Sanbao said goodbye to the County Magistrate and the Judge with a smile, and brought out His Highness. The two of them were so scared that they sent Ma San away like a plague god, and did not want to have too much connection with Ma Sanbao.
