"Arrow, you have to remember that in the palace, kindness and soft-heartedness are no different from suicide, and don't trust anyone casually."

Including your brother-in-law.

Liu Sheng looked at Liu Rui, who was confused and confused in his eyes, and finally couldn't bear to say that sentence, and swallowed it back into his stomach.

Simple-hearted and honest Arrow, so kind Arrow, how can the royal brother bear you to follow in my footsteps step by step and become the loneliest person in the world.

Forget it, let him do my best to protect you!

Paying attention, Liu Sheng did not persuade again, but asked Xue Jian to bring wine, and the two accompanied the queen mother to get drunk, so drunk that they didn't know what to do, and they were so drunk that they returned to the old days, and the family was reunited and happy......

Ten miles long street, a team of fully armored royal guards ran forward in the street.

The armor was sonorous, the spears were shining, and the uniform pace drove the dust of the streets, raised, fell, raised, and fell...... Passers-by on the street were busy dodging, but they couldn't help but guess curiously, where and what were these stern-faced officers and soldiers going to do? Could it be that there is something big happening in the imperial capital?

It wasn't until the Fang Mansion was surrounded by groups that everyone suddenly realized, but they were even more puzzled, the Fang family had committed another crime?

Fang Weimin, who was sick at home, did not get any news, and was sealed by the Imperial Forest Army, and after a small group of people knocked on the door, they rushed straight to the house, and the slave who tried to stop them was directly kicked to the ground, how could they be impatient and verbosous, seeing such a wolf-like behavior, everyone was so frightened that they only wanted to protect themselves, and no one even remembered to report it.

Fang Weimin was blocked in the big study, and the moment the door was kicked open, he even rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was dreaming.

"As an official of the court, why do you treat me like this." One of the soldiers savagely dragged it and was scolded by Fang Weimin.

A leader stretched out his hand to stop his subordinates, but he was not moved by his words, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, please come to the Criminal Department to assist in the investigation, Lord Fang, please." ”

Criminal Department? Assist with the investigation? Fang Weimin was shocked in his heart, he didn't know what was going on, he tried to keep his composure, and said to the person who spoke with a smile: "Captain of the guard, I don't know what crime this official has committed, please tell me the truth." ”

Still with a cold face and a cold voice, "Lord Fang will know when he arrives at the Criminal Department, if you don't want your brothers to offend, please." ”

No chance of accommodation at all.

The fear in Fang Weimin's heart was even worse, but he had no choice but to go out. While walking, he pondered, no matter what happened, His Royal Highness and the Lord Protector should be able to protect themselves, the Fang family has worked hard for them all these years, there is no merit and hard work, not to mention that they still know many of their secrets, they can't leave themselves in the criminal department, after all, they are also afraid that they will say something that they shouldn't say.

And as long as the protector comes forward, he will definitely be able to protect himself. Thinking about it like this, my heart settled down, and I was not as panicked as I was just now.

"Master, master, you can't take the master away."

The wives and concubines who heard the news chased after him, and one of the concubines tried to pounce on him, but was kicked away by the royal forest guard next to him, and rolled on the ground twice, "sigh" for a long time and didn't get up.

"You ......"

Fang Weimin was furious, but after meeting those cold eyes, he couldn't say the following words anymore.

With a "sonorous" sound, the captain of the guard who took the lead pulled out half of the sword at his waist, "Whoever dares to obstruct it will be killed." ”

Everyone in the mansion was so frightened that they retreated, and no one dared to take a step forward, in the low sobbing, Fang Weimin was taken away, and at the same time, the door of the mansion was sealed, and everyone was not allowed to leave, violators, killed.

At the same time, several palace gates in the imperial capital were sealed and people were taken away, including Lu Youlin.

All the people involved in the case were taken away and detained by the Imperial Forest Army who were transferred to the Criminal Department as soon as they retired from the DPRK, and they were not given a chance to breathe at all.

The efficiency of the Criminal Department is so high, of course, because Cao Pei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a member of the Cao family and has been instructed by the Marquis of Weiyuan.

"Dad, what should I do?"

In the Jin Mansion, Jin Ming, the prince of the Protector of the Kingdom, asked anxiously.

Jin Shichang frowned, this matter is very tricky, the three divisions will be tried, the fourth prince and the sixth prince, these people will not stand on their side, His Majesty spoke again, this case must be tried, it is impossible to end it hastily as before, everyone has entered the criminal department, Cao Pei's territory, it is not so easy to do something.

It seems to have reached a dead end, and there is no way to think about it.

"Grandfather, is there a way?" The third prince, Liu Zhi, also asked anxiously, this matter involved him, so how could he not be in a hurry.

Jin Shichang glanced at him, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, he was so unclean, ten years have passed, and so many ironclad evidence have been found, I really don't know what to say.

But now is not the time to blame, so I had to comfort: "Your Highness rest assured, this matter will never implicate Your Highness, the old minister thinks that even if they have evidence, but as long as Lord Fang and they don't admit it, those evidence are just a piece of waste paper, more than ten years have passed, and there is no proof of death, how can I say it clearly, the old minister also said that it was a false certificate forged by an old man surnamed Cao." ”

"What about the waist card of the Imperial Forest Guards in the Inner City?"

"Wasn't it dropped by the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits?"

"It's still my father's mind." Jin Meng said happily: "But if someone can't stand the punishment? ”

The implication is that what should I do if I can't stand the torture?

Jin Shichang reprimanded: "Stupid thing, think about it with your brain, if you recruit it, it will be a dead end, and even your family will be harmed, if you don't recruit it, there will be a way to live, if it were you, would you recruit it?" However, the boss reminded his father that he must send someone in to ventilate as much as possible, lest there really be that kind of fool who does not admit himself. ”

Although the Jin family in the Criminal Department can't intervene, it is still easy to do a word, Jin Luo nodded, and without waiting for his father's instructions, he has already dealt with it.

The third prince, Liu Qi, listened to his grandfather's words, and also calmed down and waited for the results of the triage of the three divisions.

Liu Rui didn't expect that he had no right to speak in the court, but a dispensable figure was actually sent such an errand, he remembered that the virtuous brother asked the imperial brother to pretend to be injured, just to avoid the affairs of the court, and it seemed that he had already foreseen that this trial would be presided over by the prince.

All of them were in the calculations of the virtuous brothers, and while Liu Rui admired them, he and the six princes recruited three ministers, including the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, to open a court to try the case.

Witness, He Mingchen.

Evidence, a handwritten letter and account book of Lord Xie, and a waist card of the inner city royal forest guard who was tied back in the valley.

The evidence seems conclusive.

But the interrogation did not go well.

All those who were arraigned for interrogation cried out in unison, and denied what was stated in the account book, even if they were to be punished greatly, and they did not admit their guilt.

Although the items in the account book are clearly listed, after ten years, there is no way to verify them, so the original conclusive evidence has become one-sided and not enough to prove it.

For a moment the interrogation reached an impasse. (To be continued.) )
