After a while, a man who looked like a young boy stood beside the carriage. He looked around calmly and quickly backed away.
After a while, a shadow swayed on the pavilion further away and left.
This is called the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind!
Wu Buzheng reported to Tang Shijin: "The last case involving Zhao Shouzhuo, Liu Shangshu, who was implicated in his death, had a retainer, a Jianghu man named Yu Qing Owl, whose name was Qing Owl Zi. He was proficient in the art of lip reading. It is said that he
He saw Mr. Jiang talking to Qi Yaoling and knew that we were going to deal with Chen Shiwu next, so he used this as a bargaining chip and surrendered to Chen Shiwu... His Highness also told him just now."
He paused for a moment: "Uncle, when the case is over, can we use this Yu Qing Owl for a few days? Let's learn from it."
"How can that be done!" Tang Shi Jinyi said sternly: "Are you asking me to show favoritism? How could I do such a thing?"
Wu Buzheng said oh, and she continued: "Can't you just arrest the person before the case is concluded? Don't be too rigid in doing things!"
Wu Buzheng: "..."
Okay, got it.
Tang Shijin asked again: "But Liu Shangshu fell, why didn't this man come to serve me? Am I not more reliable than Chen Shiwu?"
Wu Buzheng was confused by her question: "You killed his master and his whole family, how dare you come to help him? Aren't you afraid of being treated as a fish that slipped through the net and killed together?"
Tang Shijin thought the same thing: "Okay, let's count him as unlucky...where are those people?"
Wu Buzheng raised his head and threw peanuts into his mouth with a smile: "I'm going to appease those scholars."
Zhong Linfeng and four other people went to comfort these scholars as soon as they left the palace.
These people still gathered in front of the gate of Gongyuan and did not disperse. Zhong Linfeng and several others, dressed in official uniforms, came to the scene in person to comfort everyone.
After hearing that His Highness the Crown Prince had handed over the matter to the Sanfa Division for verification, the attitudes of the literati softened. Then a young man stepped forward and saluted, saying: "You are so polite, Mr. Liu Zheng. I dare to ask some of the adults."
,How many days will it take for this matter to be resolved?"
Zhong Linfeng said pleasantly: "Don't worry, everyone, His Highness also told us to investigate and deal with it as soon as possible."
Liu Zhengdao: "I wonder when the articles for this exam will be released? We want to compare them!"
Zhong Linfeng said: "I will release you immediately after I sort out my chores!"
"Thank you, sir," Liu Zhengdao said, "Prince Qing has a high position and great authority. How many of you, sir... Forgive me for speaking frankly, how many of you can really deal with it impartially?"
"Of course," Zhong Linfeng said: "His Highness ordered the General Investigation Factory to avoid suspicion and the three law departments will conduct a joint trial. Your Highness's attitude can be seen. Please rest assured!"
Liu Zhengdao: "Then I'll wait and see!"
Chen Shiwu watched with cold eyes.
This Liu Zheng has a rather arrogant demeanor, and he seems to be the leader among the crowd. He speaks boldly and yet has a respectful attitude. He does seem to be quite reliable.
Moreover, all the literati had angry expressions on their faces, and they did not seem to be able to give up.
This case is being watched so closely, even if Tang Shijin is really innocent, others won't believe it!
Chen Shiwu was very satisfied.
Although it was said that it was a joint trial of the three judicial departments, they could not do the work by themselves, so they discussed and handed over the matter.
As soon as Chen Shiwu returned, his confidants came to report. When Chen Shiwu heard this, he was surprised: "What? This person is not the person we arranged?"
"Yes," the confidant said, "It's because of my incompetence. The person I was looking for was named Feng, but before he could say anything, this person came and started shouting... After asking about it, I found out that the leader's name was Liu Zheng.
, is a native of Bingzhou. He is famous for his talent in the local area. He is cheerful, has a wide circle of friends, is good at both civil and military affairs, and is known as Kuangsheng. In the previous provincial examination, he won the fourth place, and his ranking was not bad. He also came to the capital very early, but he didn't know it.
Why, I didn’t receive an invitation from Prince Qing’s Mansion.”
He paused for a moment: "Furthermore, my subordinates checked and found that this person does not seem to be without scheming. When the Lord entered the palace, he took everyone with him to correspond to the people on the invitation and the list. He had already discovered
It’s about the ‘Four Ends’.”
"Oh?" Chen Shiwu became more and more excited the more he listened: "It's really unintentional! Very good, just use this person! It's more seamless than deliberately arranging it! It can be seen that the guest Tang Shijin invited before was considered to have offended the public.
!”
He clasped his hands behind his back and paced back and forth: "The Tao family is pedantic, and Tang Shijin is reckless. Who knew that this scholar's affairs are not so easy to control! Just watch this person for two more days, and if there is no problem with this person, then take our
As for the arrangements for the last move, Liu Zheng will take the lead!"
"Yes," the confidant said: "In addition, Qing Owlzi is back. He was guarding in front of the palace gate and saw His Highness talking to Prince Qing."
Chen Shiwu said: "What did you say?"
The confidant leaned over and whispered.
Chen Shiwu smiled and shook his head: "It's as expected! His Highness is very affectionate, and although he is willing to protect her, he will never want her to hang out in the main police station! No matter how good it is, we have reached the same destination through different paths! This time I
, as long as the rights in her hands can be wiped out, it is enough! As for her life, considering the word 'wealth', it doesn't matter if she keeps it for a few days!"
A confidant complimented: "This time even God is helping you."
"Indeed!" Chen Shiwu couldn't help laughing.
I originally thought that if these people were helping Tang Shijin, he would inevitably take the lead and confront Tang Shijin. Unexpectedly, Zhong Linfeng jumped out. Even if he brought down Tang Shijin, she would not be able to hold a grudge. If it was done properly, he might still be the crown prince.
His Highness Qingyan... After all, this person is a soft-hearted person.
He closed his eyes and started thinking.
The personnel sent out by the Third Law Division conducted verification in an orderly manner.
Soon, the "Four End Hall" was found, and then it was matched with the test questions. This one item almost confirmed the charges of Tang Shijin and others.
Afterwards, these people went to Diaoxiu Garden to detain the servants in a decent manner, and got some information: "I did see Taoxiang Mansion's retainers talking to everyone", "There was indeed more than one private conversation", "Passing papers? Yes
!Of course!" and other specious confessions.
Correspondingly, more than 70% of the people who have been to the Diaoxiu Garden are indeed on the list, and there are a few people who have received the four-color brocade gift from the Tang Dynasty, such as Zeng Sigu... The rankings are also very beautiful. This is not buying the list.
?
Since these people are so powerful, Chen Shiwu can safely give the "backup plan" to them.
It was a person who was awarded Tang Shijin's "Four Color Gift" for his good painting who came forward to testify. Moreover, this person also provided a small note written in Tang Liansheng's handwriting, with only two words "Four Ends" written on it.
This man's surname was Chu. He had failed in the provincial examination before, but this time he got the 19th Jinshi. He confessed that he found this small note in the Four Colors Ceremony, and then he found someone to write it for him...
People from the Ministry of Punishment went over and really found out the ghostwriter.
Therefore, the witnesses and physical evidence were complete, and the evidence of guilt was conclusive.
The three judges reported it.
This time, even the three-faced spy Zhong Linfeng panicked and asked Yan Baiwei quietly: "Your Highness, what should we do? You can't argue with me! Your Majesty, she..."
He wanted to say that if the prince comes to chop me with the Qingtian Sun-Breaking Sword, you won’t be able to resist...
