However, it was said that just when Li Hui and Li Jing were falling behind, some people spoke up and defended the prince and the two of them. For a while, the depressing atmosphere in the lobby was clear. And the two inspectors who were triumphant couldn't help but change their expressions, and the eyes of the examiner Wailang, who had a bitter face, also sank. Everyone followed the prestige, and saw the priest of the country slowly walking with a smile on his eyebrows, and he was in a leisurely state.

"Heh, one by one, they are reversing right and wrong in the court, and the more they talk about it, the more proud they become." This old man who is already in the age of ear shun is silver-haired and silver-bearded, but he is extraordinarily energetic. He looked like many ordinary civil officials from a family, elegant and smiling, but there was a unique sharp color in his eyes, and he spoke unceremoniously.

Although the Guozi Priest Wine is a high-ranking official from the third grade of the purple service, and the rank is comparable to that of Jiuqing, he almost never speaks when discussing matters in the court. On weekdays, he is also very low-key in the Guozi Prison, and he has never been widely invited, let alone caused any trouble. Therefore, almost no one knows that he has such a temperament.

"Hehe, Zhang Yuanwailang, you and I are old acquaintances. When the old man went to see you in person and recommended the prince, what did he say to you? Could it be that you want to take advantage of the old man's absence and plant the words that the old man praised him to the two kings? Or are you just misremembering? It is clear that the person who meets you is the old man, not the two county kings; The person who praised the prince must be the head of the first place this time is the old man, not the two county kings. The sacrificial wine raised his eyebrows, his words full of mockery.

"In addition, the old man has never forced you to name who is the first leader, but he likes and likes, and he really can't find any other words. Could it be that you think this is the old man's threat? Tsk, the old man's memory is good, but I can't imagine that your memory is not as good as day by day. This examiner, with your qualifications, you can't do it. ”

There was a mockery in his demeanor, and the priest of the country was also calm, as if a gentleman was teaching his disciples, and people couldn't help but be in awe. Li Hui suddenly felt that this inconspicuous old man was indeed interesting and respectable - perhaps a typical figure who was hidden in the court.

After hearing this, Zhang Wailang's expression barely remained calm, and he still insisted: "Liu Gong did recommend a certain prince to him, and he also praised his talent and character. However, it is also a fact that the king of Xin'an and the king of Tianshui forced a certain prince to be the head of the first place. What a certain person says, every word is true, and there is no deception. ”

Li Jing originally listened to what Liu Xijiu said, and his feelings had eased slightly. However, seeing that this Zhang Wailang still refused to repent, his anger burned again: "What a 'sentence is true', then you dare to swear to God, if this matter is the slightest false, you will suffer from random arrows piercing your heart in the future!" Into Infernal Hell?! ”

“…… Certain...... A certain ...... "This oath is too vicious, and after a moment of hesitation, Zhang Wailang seemed to remember something, and he showed a resolute look-

However, Li Hui noticed the change in his expression and interrupted him lightly: "The sky is above, so you can naturally distinguish between truth and falsehood." If you don't swear an oath for such a thing, you will be rewarded in the future. However, human affairs must be judged first. After that, he glanced at Sansi: "Since Zhang Yuanwailang kept saying that our two cousins had seen you in private—then I would like to ask, when and where did you meet us?" Who else but you testify? ”

The chief of the third division expressed silence on his anti-guest-oriented behavior. Both of them were bright young men who reacted quickly, and their repeated arguments were more conducive to their objective judgment of right and wrong.

Zhang Yuanwailang had obviously thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, and replied very quickly: "Fifteen days ago, when a certain person left the yamen and returned home, the two county kings sent someone to summon a certain person to a certain courtyard. The other courtyard is in the Zhengfang Fang, presumably it is not the property of the Pu Wangfu or the property of the Yue Wangfu. The person who testifies is naturally a servant in the other court. ”

"Huh, huh? Fifteen days ago, that was the ninth day of November? Li Hui did not continue to ask, and his heart moved slightly: this person dared to say so openly that the courtyard was the property of King Pu's Mansion or Yue Wang's Mansion, and there must be a basis. And he knows all about the other courtyards of King Pu's mansion, and none of them are located in the Imperial Mansion - as for the Yue Wang's Mansion, Li Jing must have never even cared about how many servants there are in his mansion, and naturally he doesn't know the details of the other courtyard.

The other party dared to reveal such a clear location, and did not shy away from mentioning that the servants could testify from the side, presumably the annex of the Yue Wangfu should have been bought by Princess Anxing. If the three divisions send someone to investigate, they may find out something important! At this moment, the three divisions must not be allowed to pay attention to the location of the other courtyard, but should change the topic as much as possible.

His mind was racing rapidly, and his complicated thoughts were flying, but there was a little light, and it suddenly lit up. So, he smiled coldly, and without waiting for Zhang Yuanwailang and the chief officer of the Third Division to mention the courtyard again, he said: "Maybe you have sent someone to follow Jing Xing, knowing that he didn't go out for at least half a day that day?" That's why you deliberately picked this seemingly uneventful day? ”

Li Jing was stunned, his face full of incredulity: "It's just a villain like him, how can my cousin know ......?"

"Because you play all day long, and I don't go out of the house almost every day, it's not easy to fabricate evidence that you and I are together. I'm afraid that in a month, I can only choose one or two days. However, it is very unfortunate that after the 10th day of November, we were all under order to supervise the case of rumors, and there were many witnesses to his whereabouts every day, so it was absolutely impossible to see him privately. Therefore, he can only choose forward. Li Hui replied, "Even if you and I don't see each other, we only stay at home, they also have the ability to spread rumors about our secret meeting." If we insist that the servants in the mansion can testify for us, I am afraid that they will also be sophistry and untrustworthy. ”

"Why can't you be trusted? Why can't it be trusted? Li Jing also realized his intentions, and pretended to be puzzled, "Could it be that only his testimony can be regarded as evidence, and other people's testimony is nothing?!" Hmph, no matter how domineering it is, there is no such reason in the world. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuanwailang was being forced by their cousins to sing and sing step by step, the superintendent immediately spoke out to protect each other: "The people in the Pu Wangfu and the Yue Wangfu are all slaves of the two kings, so naturally only the king's orders are obeyed. The king said that he did not leave the palace that day, and they could only say that the king had never left the palace, and no one dared to tell the truth. ”

Li Hui smiled: "You mean, even a slave who doesn't know anything about us caught in the case will lie and hide our whereabouts for no reason?" We have been locked up in Dali Temple all day, I'm afraid that the Pu Wangfu and the Yue Wangfu still don't know anything about our situation? That being the case, what they say is naturally credible. ”

The superintendent continued to quibble: "When it comes to the fraud of tribute, the two kings naturally have already had a statement about their whereabouts on that day, and they have concealed it properly. ”

"Heh, the slaves of the Pu Wangfu and the Yue Wangfu are not credible, so whose testimony can be trusted?" Li Hui raised his eyebrows, "Do you think that I have been closed all day, and since I did not appear in the palace that day, and I have not been to any conspicuous places, then I must have stayed in the palace, so no outsiders can testify for me?" ”

Everyone who listened to them for so long was slightly stunned - the implication was that the county king happened to go out quietly that day? Is there someone of high enough status to testify on his behalf?

And Zhang Yuanwailang was even more busy adding: "No matter where the king has been that day, he will have time to rush to the Zhengfang, after all, Yankang Fang and Zhengfang are not far away......"

"So, I ask you, when and when did you say we met you? When did you leave the Shangshu Provincial Mansion? What time did you come to that house? What time did you leave the hospital? Li Hui interrupted him again, and his expression became more and more calm.

Li Jing was infected by his expression, and immediately felt much more excited, and couldn't help but sneer: "Zhang Yuanwailang has to think about it carefully." Don't just make up an hour and think you can frame us. Now it's time to go down, let's go through it in person to check whether it's true or not, and see if you're telling the truth or a lie. ”

Zhang Yuanwailang looked at them, and after hesitating for a long time, Fang said: "The lower office is the beginning of the unitary time, the middle of the unitary time when you go to the other courtyard, and the time you leave is already in the middle of the unitary time." Then, he said very firmly, "On that day, when XX returned home, it was already the moment when the door was about to close, and all family members could testify for XX." ”

"If our family cannot testify on our behalf, how can your family's testimony be trusted?" Li Jing snorted, "In the afternoon and evening of that day, I was in the house, and I was ordered by my aunt to accompany my nephew to play naughty. My mother, my sister-in-law, and my nephew can all testify on my behalf - of course, you may not find the testimony credible. Cousin, where are you? ”

Li Hui smiled lightly: "I suddenly missed my grandfather and grandmother that day, so I took a car to the Great Ci'en Temple. After worshipping the two elders, he played against Master Xuanhui until the door was closed, and then returned to King Pu's mansion. Venerable Xuan Hui of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, the novice who served the Venerable Master, and the pilgrims I met by chance were all able to testify for me. ”

The Great Ci'en Temple is a temple donated to worship the Queen of Qin when the sage is still the prince. When the temple was built, the first emperor had already passed away, and the temple built a hall for the first emperor successively, and worshiped the practice all year round. Master Xuanhui is the first presiding officer of the Great Ci'en Temple, who has translated countless Buddhist scriptures, and is not only the highest status of the famous monk today, but also has won the trust of the first emperor and the sage.

This Master Xuanhui can testify, so naturally it is impossible to speak-

For a moment, everyone was speechless.
