Jiang Yuetang looked at Bu Fan with sharp eyes and said: "Brother Bu, the evidence you have now is likely to be the only breakthrough in that case, I hope you don't cover up the crime for the bad guys anymore, tell it well, as for your own safety that you are worried about, as long as you are willing, our Jiang family is willing to provide you with a hiding place, so that you will not have to worry about your life before the truth of the case is revealed." ”

"Also," Jiang Yuetang continued, "If the clues you provide are helpful to the progress of the case, Your Majesty will definitely deal with your past lightly, and your future life should not be affected." If you are good enough, you may even be rewarded by Your Majesty. ”

Bu Fan sighed heavily, lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's not that I don't want to reveal it, I just don't believe that you and your father can really protect my family." You must know that Sima Yu is a person who even the first emperor dares to start. ”

Jiang Yuetang had already understood, and said: "This time is different from the past, and today is not the first emperor, you have to believe that in today's Zhao Kingdom, such a thing will never be allowed." Moreover, the cause of the death of the first emperor has tormented the people of the country for so long, and I hope you will focus on the overall situation. ”

Bu Fan finally let go of his guard and said, "I'm not sure if Zhou Tong was killed by Sima Yu back then, but what I can be sure of is that Zhou Tong was Sima Yu's right-hand man before he disappeared. ”

Jiang Yuetang: "Please talk about it specifically. ”

So Bu Fan said that he had seen Zhou Tong enter and leave Sima Yu's study several times, and said: "Later, His Majesty ordered the whole country to want Zhou Tong, and Sima Yu knew that I and two other partners knew that Zhou Tong was his subordinate, so he asked us to meet in the back garden of Sima Mansion, intending to kill the three of us in the back garden.......

After listening to Bu Fan's story, Jiang Yuetang asked: "I hope you will go back to the capital with me to see Your Majesty immediately, and you can arrange it here." ”

Bu Fan said: "There is nothing inconvenient on my side, just go back and talk to my wife and son." ”

Jiang Yuetang: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

After that, Jiang Yuetang went to Gu Bainiang and explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Gu Bainiang immediately invited Bu Fan to come in to learn more, and found that Bu Fan really knew the origin of Zhou Tong, so he immediately paid attention to it.

That night, Gu Bainiang discussed with Fang Zhaoheng, Jiang Yuetang, Fang Zhaofan and several other core figures, and finally agreed that it was appropriate for everyone to escort Bufan back to Beijing.

In this way, we can give an explanation to His Majesty who entrusted Gu Bainiang to investigate this matter, and secondly, to make Bu Fan realize the importance of this matter and prevent Bu Fan from escaping.

So early the next morning, Gu Bainiang and Jiang Yuetang personally sent Bu Fan back to Bu Fan's house, and after Bu Fan finished explaining to his wife and children, they embarked on the road back to Beijing with other members.

On the way, Jiang Yuetang asked Gu Bainiang softly: "Will this trip delay your plan?"

"No," Gu Bainiang said very simply, "The martial arts conference has already been attended, and what we are going to do next this year is something less important, so there is no problem in delaying it for a month or two." ”

Jiang Yuetang: "That's good." ”

Along the way, everyone took good care of Bu Fan, especially Jiang Yuetang, and repeatedly recommended him to come to Jiang Mansion on an errand, but Bu Fan never agreed because he felt that his future was uncertain.

When the group rushed to the capital, they also sent an urgent letter to His Majesty, informing His Majesty of the purpose of their trip.

The letter reached Emperor Li Pei before they arrived, and Li Pei was overjoyed and immediately informed the Empress Dowager of the news.

The Empress Dowager cried with joy when she learned about it, held Li Pei's hand and said: "Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, and now I have finally found an important witness." He added: "This witness is very important in this case, and he must be protected." ”

Li Pei: "Queen Mother, please rest assured, the child has already sent someone to answer quickly." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and cried again.

Li Pei hurriedly helped her sit down and handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Then the two of them entered into an eager wait.

At the beginning of May of the 58th year of the Great Zhao Dynasty, Jiang Yuetang and his entourage arrived in the capital and immediately entered the palace to see the emperor.

Emperor Li Pei met everyone in the Yinghua Hall and listened to Bufan's statement for the first time.

After listening to Bu Fan's statement, Li Pei immediately sent someone to arrest Sima Yu.

Sima Yu was having lunch at the time, and when he learned that it was the emperor's people, he immediately understood, and he said to his wife and two sons who looked panicked: "Daddy may never come back when he enters the palace this time, you should take care." ”

He let the housekeeper come in and carefully arranged the aftermath.

Sima Yu's wife kept crying, and although the two sons were sad, they tried their best to show a strong and calm appearance.

After telling the housekeeper, Sima Yu took a deep look at his wife and children and left.

Li Pei saw Sima Yu in the Guangming Palace, and there were the Queen Mother, Gu Ba Niang, Fang Zhaoheng, Fang Zhaofan, Jiang Yuetang, Bu Fan, the Shangshu of the Six Divisions, Dali Siqing and the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace.

The Hall of Light was a special place for the emperor to interrogate major cases, and when Sima Yu learned that he had been taken to this place, he understood it all, but what he didn't understand was who confessed to him.

Is it Concubine Meng? Unlikely, because she herself is also an accomplice in this case, and she will definitely not care about her own life.

Is it the second prince Li Ji? It's also unlikely, after all, his motivation to do that is very low.

So who else could there be? Sima Yu didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, and his head was chaotic.

After entering the Hall of Light, Sima Yu saw Bu Fan at a glance, and was so surprised that he almost stood unsteadily.

After Bu Fan escaped, Sima Yu immediately sent people to search for him across the country, but he couldn't find him for several years, so he thought he was no longer alive.

Bu Fan boldly met Sima Yu's gaze and said, "Lord Sima, I didn't expect that we would have a day in court, right?"

Sima Yu smiled coldly and said, "I don't know you. ”

"Really?" Bu Fan got up and talked about his time in Sima Mansion.

Sima Yu listened expressionlessly and did not say a word.

Anyone who is attentive can see that his body is shaking slightly.

After Bu Fan finished speaking, Sima Yu still didn't say a word, but Li Pei said loudly: "Take the personnel registration book of Sima Mansion." ”

Sima Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but then he calmed down again.

He had already manipulated the personnel register of the Sima Mansion, so he was sure that they would never find any flaws in it.

But when Li Pei threw a book in front of him for him to see, he found that this was the most primitive one, and there was Bufan's information in it, and his face suddenly changed.
