"This palace maid can't enter Zhongcui Palace at all, and the concubine has been recuperating in the palace and has never gone out, if she loses the bracelet?"

Others were still listening to how the palace maid argued, and Lord Huang Daoyuan was shocked: "Certification is not licensed, and you dare to use strong words, I don't think you will be honest without punishment." "Let people drag the eunuch down to play the board.

The people of the Inspectorate were about to go up, and the eunuch shouted that he was wronged. Zuo Qing slapped the table: "Lord Huang, you are called torture to extract a confession, where is your warmth like a spring breeze?" Huang Daoyuan said: "The evidence is conclusive, he still doesn't confess, I don't call him a forced confession, this is natural." ”

"You're just a strong word. Zuo Qing grabbed the startling wood next to Huang Daoyuan: "This palace maid is suspected of climbing, so she should pull down and hit the board." "As he spoke, he was going to let the officials of the Criminal Department pull people down.

Huang Daoyuan scolded him while going to snatch the shocking wood: "You dare to bend the law for personal gain?"

"You're bending the law for personal gain. The two sides argued again, and the shocking wood walked back and forth between the two, and everyone was going to look stupid.

The towering of the hall looked at the four princes, which means, no wonder the three divisions are to be tried, the emperor's meaning is too obvious, don't find anyone, then what should they do? The four princes gave him a slightly calming look.

Lu Hong slanted a glance at the two people in the dispute, shook his head slightly, and then asked the palace maid who knelt down: "In this confession, did you mention that you let go of the fire fold directly, and did not ignite this action, the official wants to know, how did you set the fire with the fire fold that was not lit?" The hall was suddenly silent, and the palace maid looked at Lu Hong dumbfounded.

The two adults in the dispute hurried to look through the confessions. Why didn't they find out? The palace maid came back to her senses and couldn't stop thinking about it, and finally kowtowed and said, "My lord." The slave didn't dare to lie, so she threw the fire into the sesame oil and ran away. The rest of the matter is unknown to the slave and maid. "It's very likely that she didn't set the fire.

Seeing that there was a look of surprise in the palace maid's voice, Zuo Qing smiled and asked her meaningfully: "What do you mean, there is someone else who set the fire?"

The palace maid kowtowed: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Huang Yuandao scolded the palace maid: "You have already drawn the charge, do you still want to climb her? You may be exempt from the death penalty to tell the truth, if you insist on framing others and let the official find out, the official will not be spared." ”

Zuo Qing immediately comforted Huang Yuandao, "How can an adult change his face faster than turning a book? Wasn't it okay just now?" Huang Yuandao glanced at him and quickly snatched the shocking wood in front of him: "Don't invite it yet." ”

"......" scared everyone. Zuo Qing scolded her mother in her heart, and raised her hand to grab the shocking wood. The two of them tugged silently again.

A towering and low voice asked the fourth prince: "This Lord Lu was arranged by His Royal Highness?"

The fourth prince shook his head slightly, Lu Hong may really want to try the case, so he looked more carefully. That's best, someone will take the lead without his people, and the case will be tried. There were two naughty adults on the side who were snatching the startling trees, and Lu Hong gradually got used to it.

He asked the two palace people who witnessed the palace maid setting the fire in Jiaotai Palace: "You said that you saw this palace maid set the fire with your own eyes, so how did she ignite the fire when she didn't light it?"

The two men behaved obscenely, and their voices were as small as squeaky mice: "But the slave saw with her own eyes the fire fold she tossed." ”

The other said, "Didn't she confess herself?" and her eyes lit up: "She has a light." It's just that she wants to get away with it. ”

The palace maid hurriedly explained: "The slave maid is useless, the slave maid really doesn't have it, the slave maid didn't light the fire." "She has been warned to tell the truth in everything. Otherwise, the whole family's life is not guaranteed, how can they lie?

But the two palace people over there did not testify that she lit the fire.

Zuo Qing and Huang Yuandao were not shocked when they heard this, Zuo Qing said: "It seems that there is something else in this case. Inquire carefully. ”

Huang Yuandao: "This case where the prisoners have confessed to their crimes, I don't know how you want to retract your confession?"

It's one to be held accountable. One wanted to maintain the original supply, but Lu Hong did not express his position.

At this time, the towering of the fourth prince took a step forward and said, "Since the Holy Lord has ordered the three divisions to be tried. If there is anything that is not clear, of course, it must be carefully verified, lest anyone profit from it. ”

The eldest prince did not come, and among the civil officials under him, an old official, stood up and saluted all the adults, and said: "Your Highness also means this, so as not to check carefully and wronged Concubine Fang." ”

Since both parties said that they wanted to investigate, the three people in the hall had no objection.

Unify opinions, check.

However, now that the witnesses are insisting on their own words, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false without punishment, and the opinions of the three people are not unanimous, and the case cannot be interrogated, and it has once again reached a deadlock.

Still towering the existing pattern, he raised a question that everyone ignored: "When the fire broke out, there was a person who appeared very unexpectedly, this dossier wrote that the Lan guards saved His Royal Highness and others, but the Lan guards should be the guards on the side of His Royal Highness the Eldest Emperor Sun, why did they appear in the Jiaotai Palace?"

Zuo Qing looked through the file, and then pretended to be surprised: "Yes, why did the Lan guards appear in the Jiaotai Hall where he shouldn't have appeared?"

The old official said unhurriedly: "On the fifteenth full moon, His Royal Highness the Eldest Emperor Sun is the most filial piety, and specially asked the Lan guards to go to the Jiaotai Hall to deliver the colorful rice balls cooked in his palace, so the Lan guards will appear in the Jiaotai Palace, is there anything wrong with this?"

There's nothing wrong with it, it's just too coincidental.

Gao said loudly: "What kind of rice balls are you, and you want His Royal Highness the Elder Emperor Sun to send them to His Royal Highness?"

The old official smiled slightly: "As long as it is something with filial piety, everything is priceless." He also said: "But this colorful rice balls are really fresh, it was thought of by a palace maid in Jingyang Palace, the rice balls are green, yellow, purple, red, and blue. ”

If you really hate strange things, the eldest emperor's grandson ordered someone to send it to his father, which also makes sense.

But how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

When the third division came to the palace people of the Qianqing Palace, they did have the rice balls.

Gao Towering and the Four Princes glanced at each other, tacitly knowing that they had already planned it. Just wait for Concubine Fang to put on the covers.

After listening to the testimony, Gao Towering said to the three people in the hall again: "But despite this, it is too unbelievable for the Lan guards to appear in the Jiaotai Palace. Now that the fire is on fire, he has the greatest credit. But what if he deliberately planned it? deliberately causing a fire in order to get a reward, such a person is not without it. ”

This Lan guard is on an errand in Jingyang Palace, even if he is half a prince.

When the people of the four princes said this, everyone could understand it, and they clearly wanted to put the basin that set fire to frame Fang Guifei on the head of the eldest prince.

It doesn't have to be the eldest prince to bear the charge, as long as someone on his side carries it, the adults will pay attention to it.

The old official of the Jiaotai Hall snorted angrily, and bowed to Qingtian: "This is obviously a trumped-up charge for the Lan guards, and the Lan guards went to the soup to fight the fire." I almost lost my life, who would kill my own life if I made my own design?"

Towering eyes: "My lord." He bowed his hand to the three: "Some people can do anything to achieve their goals, and besides, everyone knows that this Lan guard is very skilled, and he can escape with his whole body when he goes to the soup." ’

The old official's official figure trembled: "What you little official said can be described as heartbreaking, the Lan guards really fell into the fire, if it wasn't for the early rescue found out in time, everyone would have died, what a difficult person." When it came to emotion, two tears fell from his eyes. After that, he wiped away his tears and said to the three people in the hall: "Lan guards have died nine times, and there are so many people to testify, but this little official of Chunxi Palace took it for granted that he slandered Lan guards, and the lower officials begged the three adults to call the shots." Justify the name of the Lan guard. ”

Gao Xuan glanced back at the four princes, they just calculated that Lan Junyuan was pretending to dare to say this, and now this old official dares to correct his name. Could it be that Lan Junyuan is really innocent.

The fourth prince was also a little unsteady in his heart at this time, his cousin. Maybe it's not innocent, he really did that kind of life gambling.

Let's look at the attitude of the people in Jiaotaidian. They have always supported the case to be tried downward, is it possible that he has also been set up in a full set?

The old official asked for the two imperial doctors who were passed to Lan Junyuan to see a doctor.

The third division felt that it was necessary, so he passed the person.

As soon as the person arrived, without waiting for others to ask, Zuo Qing first patted the shocked wood: "Now if you two testify, the stakes are very high, if you two dare to say half a lie, you can be punished." ”

When the imperial doctor faces the senior members above the third grade, they are all honest.

The two imperial doctors bowed their heads: "The lower officials don't dare." ”

Lu Hong was afraid that the two people's questions would be biased, so the two of them asked first: "Guard Lan was injured on the fifteenth night, but you two healed?"

The two hurriedly said: "Exactly." ”

"So how was he hurt at the time. ”

The two imperial doctors didn't know what they could do before, but when they heard this, the two of them had a lot of bitterness to complain about, and one of them said: "Guard Lan was cold at that time, and he almost couldn't wake up again, but fortunately, the lower official understood this symptom and used aconite soup, which saved Guard Lan's life." "Of course, you can't mention that fairy lady, otherwise there will be no credit.

The other imperial physician looked at him, and the imperial physician added: "Lord Qi also contributed a lot, it was the two of us who came up with it together, together." ”

The Imperial Doctor's face softened a little.

After listening to their words, the four princes' faces were frosty, Lan Junyuan was still a step ahead, maybe even if he arrived, someone would ask him, so he pretended to be dead.

How did he know that Lin Xiaojue was a particularly cautious person, and he thought of everything, so he deliberately used aconite soup to return to Yang to save the adversity, and she was not afraid that the two imperial doctors would not cooperate, everyone would rush up when they saw the credit, and they would not confess her at this time, so everything made people unable to find flaws, and it could only be said that there were mountains outside the mountain.

Of course, the four princes also guessed it later, and it was after that, so I won't mention it at this time.

Everyone knows that aconite is poisonous, and no one will use this flavor medicine as a last resort, and the imperial doctor has used it for Lan Junyuan, which can really show that life is on the horizon.

The imperial doctor said: "If you have any doubts about the Lan guards, then you have really wronged him, and he almost died in one breath, and no one will even want his life for the sake of fame and fortune." ”

The other imperial doctor kept the same tone as him, and said that Lan Junyuan would not survive at that time.

Whether it is the four princes or the three in the hall in the room, there is nothing to refute.

What's the use of fame and fortune if your life is gone?

Only Gao Xuan said that Lan Junyuan's intentions were sinister, and he even calculated himself, such a person was even more terrifying.

The old official almost jumped up and hit him: "Guard Lan risked his life to save people because he had a pure heart, but now he is suspected in turn, and the person who suspects him is really his heart, everyone knows that he is skilled, so if it is a game he sets, he has to have a way to get out of the way, and he will not take his own life." ”

Seeing that he was really going to fight hard, Gao Towering took a step back in fright, and the fourth prince said in his heart that Lan Junyuan had spent so much money that he couldn't force that side anymore.

The general trend has gone, giving Gao Gao a look and letting him retreat, which means that their side is no longer responsible.

Because there was a imperial doctor who testified to Lan Junyuan, if anyone doubted him again, he would be said to be punishable, and the three directors Huang Daoyuan and Lu Hong refuted the towering statement and determined that Lan Junyuan was innocent. Zuo Qing didn't want to go his own way and agreed.

After that, no other evidence could be produced by the tower.

Instead, the old imperial history said: "In fact, no matter whether the Fourth Highness suspects that this matter is related to others, this palace maid really did it, and she also confessed, in the end, whether this fire was caused by her or not, but her desire to burn His Highness's mind to death is unchanged." ”

One sentence woke everyone up.

Regardless of whether the fire fold was lit or not, she poured sesame oil and lit the fire fold, and the murderous heart was already there.

It is sin that deserves death.

The four princes stared at the towering when they heard this, if it weren't for the towering extraneous branches that had to go into the water with the Lalan Junyuan, they could directly say that the palace maid was framed.

If you have to pull Lan Junyuan now, it is equivalent to admitting that this palace maid set fire, but it didn't succeed.

Gao Towering knew his mistakes, and he didn't dare to speak anymore, but fortunately, the correction of Jiaotai Hall was not enough, and the eunuch of Zhong Cui Palace did not admit his guilt, which made Fang Guifei get out of trouble.

Since they didn't admit it, and they couldn't produce certain evidence, in the end, Zuo Qing and Lu Hong closed the case with a palace maid with epilepsy, so they were charged with arson for no reason.

Huang Yuandao was also instructed before he came, no matter how the trial was conducted, no one from any hall could be involved when the case was concluded, so he also signed the file and stamped the seal of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

This uproaring fire case ended in such a hurry in the end. It's an accident, it's not about people.

All that's left is to quit.

After retiring from the court, the emperor naturally wanted to inquire about the case, and the three directors told the truth, and the emperor didn't say whether it was good or bad, but just nodded and let the three of them retreat.

In this way, the three of them returned to the yamen, and the other two did not show it, and said Lu Hong, as soon as he arrived at the yamen, the yamen told him that the young lady of the Zhou family was here. (To be continued.) )
