Chapter 54: The Lord
"Zhang Qing, if you do this again, this official will definitely not be spared." Looking at Zhang Qing's face, Shi Yuandao threw a sentence in a cold tone.
"Lord Xie's subordinates are merciful, and the lower officials know."
Zhang Qing bowed to the end, but no one saw the hatred in his eyes. Shi Yuandao, from now on, I Zhang Qing and you will not share the sky, sooner or later one day you fall into my hands, I will let you survive and not die. Zhang Qing now has a deep hatred for Shi Yuandao, and sooner or later, he Zhang Qing will avenge today's revenge.
"But my lord, I really haven't written such a letter, and the officials don't recognize this matter. This Dong Fugui must be ......"
Zhang Qingzhen wanted to say that Dong Fugui was tortured because he couldn't bear it, and he was tortured into a trick, but that was tantamount to offending Shi Yuandao completely and putting himself in it again.
"It must be because he has opinions about the lower officials on weekdays, and he takes advantage of today's opportunity to take revenge on the lower officials, and he just admitted that he was greedy for one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and now he says this, it must be to exonerate himself, and the lower officials are wronged......"
Zhang Qing now changed his pitiful posture of constantly shouting grievances just now, but put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, but Shi Yuandao didn't believe these at all.
"Zhang Qing, now that there are human and physical evidence, you still have to quibble, do you really want the official to be sentenced in court, will you say it?"
Shi Yuandao had already decided at this moment that it was this Zhang Qing who designed to frame Fang Zhengyun, and he couldn't let go of this matter lightly, so naturally he was not as polite to Zhang Qing as he was at the beginning.
"Zhang Qing, why did you write to An Yinhuo to Songyunguan to meet? Say! ”
"My lord, I really don't have Yoan Yinhuo, and I was also designed to go to Songyun Temple."
Zhang Qing was also about to vomit blood, he framed Fang Zhengyun but he really didn't write to An Yinhuo, how could things have turned out like this?
Zhang Qing didn't know that this letter was imitated by a master imitator under Jin Shuichen according to Zhang Qing's handwriting in the official document, so the officials of Dali Temple couldn't distinguish it at all. The fake can't be true, but the nine falsehoods and one true have deceived everyone, because except for the letters, everything else is true.
An Yinhuo stood there looking at Zhang Qingbai's indisputable expression, and suddenly thought of what the housekeeper had said to him with contemptuous eyes
'My lord and your father were originally general friends, but now the two families are even more of a heaven and a place, so it's better not to interact with each other in the future. This silver is my lord who funded you in the past, although it is only twenty taels, but you should also know that my lord is an honest official, and these twenty taels are all squeezed out of wasted strength. ’
At that time, he was sad, angry, and hateful, but he had to accept the money, just because his mother was seriously ill and asked for the money to save his life. But today, he watched the dog-eyed low-looking slave being beaten half to death in this public court, and the dignified Zhang Qing couldn't get out, and the breath that had been stuck in his chest finally dissipated.
An Yinhuo turned his eyes to look at the prince who was sitting there motionless like a mountain, and suddenly thought of the county lord of Anning...... If it weren't for her, their brother and sister might have really died as tragically as Zhang Qing said, and it would be impossible to see the ungrateful and despicable villain they hated here be punished. Therefore, whether the county lord of Anning saved him that day with a good heart or a good heart, or whether he had the intention to use it, he recognized it, and in the future, the county lord of Anning will be the person he is loyal to wholeheartedly.
"My lord, the grass people have something to say." A cold light flashed in An Yinhuo's eyes, and he spoke again.
Zhang Qing felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, this little cub has not spoken much since he went to the court, but every time he speaks, he can break his muscles and bones, and this time it will definitely be no good thing.
"Oh, what do you have to say."
"My lord, Zhang Qing has always said that the letter is forged, and this matter has nothing to do with him. Then please summon another person, this person can explain to the adult, why this Zhang Qing asked the grass people to go to Songyun Temple. ”
"Oh, who is this man, and where is he now?"
Shi Yuandao was also surprised, how could An Yinhuo have so many means, looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting there, Shi Yuandao sighed again...... Although he was tried impartially today, once Zhang Qing was convicted, he was offended by the people over there, and he could only take refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, otherwise......
"Lord Hui, this person is Qi Tai, the master of Songyun Temple." An Yinhuo glanced at Zhang Qing after speaking, and sure enough, he saw the other party's shocked face.
"Oh, where is this Qi Tai, I will send a servant to summon him."
Before Shi Yuandao's words fell, he saw a person walking in the lively crowd, this person was dressed as a peasant, wearing cheesecloth clothes, and suddenly knelt down on the lobby, and shouted: "My lord, the grass people are here." ”
Shi Yuandao: "Uh...... You are Qi Tai, the master of Songyun Temple? ”
No matter how Shi Yuandao looked at the people in front of him, he thought that he was a farmer, how could he have a little bit of the immortal wind and bones of a Taoist priest?
"Lord Hui, the grass people are exactly."
"Then why are you dressed like this, and you are still mixed in with the people who are listening, and who can prove your identity?"
It's not that Shi Yuandao doesn't believe him, it's just that this is the need of the case, and he still has to figure it out, and he can't just come to a person to testify and believe it, not to mention that he is still a very critical witness.
"Returning to my lordship, the Taoist priest of Songyun Temple can prove the identity of the grass people. Meng Da, the deputy commander of the capital command envoy, can also prove it, and there is also Lord Zhang Qing in the hall...... He also knows the grass people. ”
"Oh, Lord Zhang, do you know the view of this Songyun Temple? Lord"
Zhang Qing's face turned pale since he saw this Qi Tai kneeling in the lobby, how could this be possible? How could he appear at this time, shouldn't he have fled the capital far away? How could it be in the city!
"Lord Zhang's own official is asking you."
Shi Yuandao saw Zhang Qing standing there staring at Qi Tai, but he didn't say a word, and Qi Tai also looked at Zhang Qing with a frank expression, thinking that these two people were old acquaintances.
"Lord Hui, I have only met the master of Songyun Temple once, and I am not familiar with each other, so whether this person is or not, the lower officials dare not judge." Zhang Qing picked the safest words and replied.
"Hehe, do you still want to deny it until now?" Qi Tai smiled in a low voice, but this smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"I've known adults for many years, and it's even more because you lured you to promise to frame General Fang for you, but I didn't expect that you would kill me." As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Qing angrily.
"You are full of nonsense, you dare to frame this official!"
"Zhang Qing, shut up, you are not qualified to say this here, whether he framed you or not, this official has the final say."
Since Shi Yuandao wanted to lean on the prince's side, he naturally no longer allowed Zhang Qing to be arrogant during the trial, and even the title changed from Lord Zhang to Zhang Qing.
"Lord Qi Guan, what is the matter, you should make it clear to the official now, if there is a lie, the official will not spare you, you know?!"
"It's my lord. I have known Zhang Qing for many years and have a very good relationship, and he recently approached me and asked me to do him a favor. He wants to do a great thing through my mouth and through my Taoist temple...... And afterwards there was a thank-you gift of five thousand taels of silver. ”
"Oh, what's that?"
Qi Tai glanced at An Yinhuo slowly, and then continued: "It was I who asked me to inform the people in command of the capital that there were thieves hiding in the Taoist temple, and asked them to send someone to arrest them...... Later, I saw that the appointed time had come, and sure enough, a man and a woman came to stay overnight, so I notified the commander of the capital, and they were arrested. After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Qing deeply.
"My lord, I don't know this person, I don't know why he came to frame me, if he keeps saying that this matter was done by the lower official, please let him show evidence, otherwise I will definitely sue him for slandering the courtiers." Zhang Qing's face was righteous, but he was actually afraid in his heart, but he had to gamble.
"Master Zhang, you must think that I have died under the knife of those people...... It's a pity, Lao Dao, I have a big life, keep an eye on it, the people you sent didn't find me that day, it wasn't that I ran away, but hid in the secret room of the Taoist temple...... I, ah, didn't leave the city at all, because I was sure of the old way, and if I ran out of the city, I would definitely not be able to escape from your palms, and the Taoist view was the safest. ”
After Qi Tai's words were finished, Zhang Qing's intestines were full of regret, yes, why didn't he think of sending someone to search the Taoist Temple again? In fact, this Qi Tai can appear here today is also Jin Shuichen's careful heart, in order to avenge Fang Zhengyun's grievances, he sent someone to carefully search the Taoist temple, this Qi Tai took the initiative to jump out to cooperate in order to save his life, so he had a face-to-face confrontation with Zhang Qing today.
"Hehe, I don't know what you're talking nonsense." Zhang Qing has no other way now, and plans to carry it to the end.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if Lord Zhang doesn't know, but Lord Zhang's Gao Tang and Mrs. have all seen me, of course, the adult's outer room, Shen Niangzi in Shuanghuai Hutong, I don't think I will say that I haven't seen me. And I know the birthday of an adult. My lord, do you really want to say that you don't know me? ”
As soon as Qi Tai said this, the people who were listening were in an uproar again. Even the outer room knows, and the birth date also knows, this really doesn't seem to be an ordinary relationship.
This Qi Tai also has some ability on weekdays, and he has some reputation in the circle of elites, Zhang Qing's mother believes in Qi Tai very much, so she often invites him to come over, and Zhang Qingcai has a connection with Qi Tai. After that, Zhang Qing wanted to raise a concubine room, but the original wife was jealous, and Zhang Qing's concubines made her suffer to death, so he asked Qi Tai to help, saying that Zhang Qing's official fortune was not prosperous because the inner house was uneven, and now he needed a person with a helping life to assist, and this person could not enter the house. Therefore, Zhang Qing was able to raise an outer room, and Qi Tai also knew Zhang Qing's birth date through this matter.
Seeing that Qi Tai finished speaking, An Yinhuo immediately spoke: "Zhang Qing, you used my identity to frame General Fang and incite the people to besiege the General's Mansion, and you also sent people to deliberately set fire to the military camp, intending to burn me to death, you are a serious crime of deliberate murder." You don't know, I was suspicious of you that day, I hid in that temple early, and the person in that house is not me at all, although you didn't kill me, you killed two innocent people, where is your conscience?! ”
