As Lin Haoran continued to interrogate, everyone's eyes focused on Li Gongzi.

Li Yu sighed secretly in his heart, although he wanted to stop everything that was happening in front of him, and even more wanted to protect his son, how could he, a small member of the household department in Nanjing, be qualified to compete head-on with this Lord Qincha, who was in the imperial history of the left deputy capital of the third rank?

In particular, he will inevitably be burdened by his son's affairs, and his career is almost dying, and he has no capital to openly argue with Lin Haoran. He put his fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, secretly giving his son a stern look.

Lin Haoran sat upright in the public hall, naturally seeing these small actions clearly, but he didn't say anything, but continued to stare at Li Gongzi sternly.

Li Gongzi seemed hesitant, and after hearing the movement, he glanced at his father, and finally sighed lightly and said: "Hui Qincha, this is indeed the case, it is precisely because of this bet that the three of us took Chen Xiaoxiao downstairs to verify!" ”

Xu Yuanji and Chen Gongzi, who were crawling on the ground, heard that Li Gongzi had confessed, and immediately felt the seriousness of the situation, so they secretly exchanged glances.

Lin Haoran was not too surprised by this answer, and asked Li Gongzi again: "Among the three of you, who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water?" ”

There was only one last step left in the truth, and many people looked at Li Gongzi with bated breath.

Not only the people and scholars in the hall, but even Yang Gongzi and others, who were in the lotus pond building that night, were full of curiosity and wanted to know this answer.

Li Gongzi first turned his head to look at his father, then gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Chen Gongzi who was crawling on the ground and said loudly: "It's Chen Gongzi, he pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the water!" ”

Yes?

After hearing this answer, everyone was also too shocked, and they all turned their heads to look at Chen Gongzi who was crawling on the ground.

The matter has come to light, the person who killed Chen Xiaoxiao turned out to be Chen Gongzi, and it was he who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond and drowned. Although the cause is a bet, it is undoubtedly an intentional homicide.

"It's really Chen Gongzi!"

"This person is rampant and domineering in Yangzhou City, he really deserves to be punished!"

"Chen Zhuan made Zongzi commit murder, and he will not escape the blame!"

……

When the people and scholars heard the truth of the matter, they made accusations one after another, and the spearhead was pointed at Chen Xian, the transfer envoy of the two Huaidu.

Intimacy is a characteristic of this era, and the connection between father and son is also a characteristic of the era. Like Yan Song, the reason why he stepped down was precisely because he was implicated by Yan Shifan, and now Chen Xian naturally has to pay for his son's evil deeds.

When Xu Yi heard that it was Chen Gongzi, his hanging heart was slightly relaxed.

"Li Gou, why are you biting your Lao Tzu?" When Chen Gongzi heard that Li Gongzi actually confessed to him, he first showed an incredible look, and then asked angrily.

Hey?

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned again, just thinking that everything had fallen into place, but they never thought that things seemed to be changing again.

Li Gongzi's eyes were a little weak, and he immediately gritted his teeth and insisted on accusation: "The person who pushed Xiaoxiao down the pool that night was clearly you, and this Gongzi saw it clearly!" ”

"Are you blind? Is it me who pushes people? Chen Gongzi asked angrily.

Li Gongzi snorted coldly, but said seriously: "Who else can you be?" You don't have to deny it! ”

Xu Yi's brows furrowed, and his eyes looked at Chen Gongzi fiercely.

Chen Gongzi's heart turned casually, but he suddenly pointed at Li Gongzi and accused: "Lord Qincha, it's him, and he pushed him down!" ”

This......

The people and scholars in the hall thought that everything had been revealed, but they didn't expect that these two sons and brothers would bite each other, but the case fell into a stalemate again.

It's just that when encountering problems, everyone has habitually looked at Lin Haoran. At this point in the trial of the case, no one questioned the ability of this Lord Qincha, who was indeed worthy of the name of Lin Qingtian or Lin Leigong.

Lin Haoran watched the two accuse each other, and secretly felt that things were a little tricky, so he said in a deep voice: "You all shut up!" ”

Chen Gongzi and Li Gongzi both wanted to put the blame on each other, and after hearing Lin Haoran's words, they also obediently closed their mouths.

Lin Haoran faced everyone's curious eyes, but looked at Xu Yuanji, who had been silent, and asked, "Chen Yuanji, you were also present at the time, who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the pool?" ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up slightly, and they all turned their heads to look at Xu Yuanji. Since Xu Yuanji was present, he would naturally be able to tell who was lying and who was the real murderer.

According to the current law, Xu Yuanji's testimony played an almost decisive role.

Chen Gongzi and Li Gongzi had different expressions, and their eyes looked at Xu Yuanji rather complicatedly.

Li Yu's throat was itchy, and he suddenly coughed lightly, and looked at Xu Yuanji sharply. just glanced at Lin Haoran in the hall with a weak heart, and lowered his head.

"Young Master Xu, you tell the truth!" Although Xu Yi was given a gag order, he still said to Xu Yuanji with other meanings.

Xu Yuanji thought for a moment, but chose to point to Chen Gongzi and said, "Yes...... It's Chen Gongzi, it's he who pushed Chen Xiaoxiao into the lotus pond! ”

Chen Gongzi's face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at Chen Yuanji in disbelief.

Is it really Chen Gongzi?

After hearing this accusation, the people and scholars in the hall were finally convinced that the culprit who killed Chen Xiaoxiao was this Chen Gongzi who had done a lot of evil in Yangzhou City.

Lin Haoran saw Chen Gongzi's reaction in his eyes, and asked Chen Gongzi in a deep voice: "Chen Gongzi, is this the case?" ”

"It's not!" Chen Gongzi shook his head firmly.

Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked seriously: "Who pushed that?" Is it Li Gongzi? Or Xu Yuanji? ”

This......

Xu Yi heard Lin Haoran ask such a question, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Haoran nervously.

"Yes...... Li Gongzi! Chen Gongzi hesitated, but insisted on testifying against Li Gongzi.

Lin Haoran sighed secretly in his heart, and said with a smile: "This thing is strange, the two of them accused you of pushing Chen Xiaoxiao into the water together!" You say that Li Gongzi lied, Xu Gongzi also lied, is he also wronging you? ”

"I don't know! But the person is indeed not pushed down by me, it is pushed down by Li Gongzi! Chen Gongzi lowered his head and insisted on his previous point of view.

This......

The people and scholars in the hall couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran when they heard that Chen Gongzi refused to confess, wanting to see how this Lord Qincha would deal with this somewhat tricky problem.

Xu Yi was faintly worried in his heart, and then suddenly stood up and proposed: "Lord Qincha, now that Gongzi Xu and Gongzi Li have both testified against Gongzi Chen, then this matter must be done by Gongzi Chen, please judge!" ”
