On November 29, Shuntianfu was promoted to the court to try the case, and Wu Bingxuan asked Jiang Yanyi to be summoned to the court.

Lu Jing, Ishikawa Yi, Liu Di and others all sat in the hall to watch, and it didn't take long for Jiang Yanyi to be carried to the court.

When Wu Bingxuan saw him like this, he inquired about the source of his injuries.

Jiang Yanyi raised his head and said: "It was my father who was angry in his heart and punished after learning about what the student had done. ”

After hearing this, Wu Bingxuan let him lie down like this and reply, and then asked, "How did you kill Prince Mu, and you didn't recruit it from the truth?" ”

Jiang Yanyi didn't quibble, and said bluntly: "That day, the students followed behind Prince Mu, and when they saw him driving all the guards away, they asked people to knock him out and take him to Zhang Xiucai's house. ”

Wu Bingxuan continued to ask: "You have no hatred or grudge, why did you kill him?" ”

Jiang Yanyi knew that the death penalty was inevitable, and he didn't care about his words, and replied: "The student didn't think about killing him, just because he calculated the Guozijian, humiliated the Guozijian, and made our prisoners a laughing stock, and the student just wanted to teach him a lesson as a member of the Guozijian." ”

Wu Bingxuan shook his head secretly after hearing this, the young man was too impulsive, and then asked, "Why did you kill Zhang Daomei again?" ”

Jiang Yanyi said: "The student saw that the subordinate killed someone by mistake, and he was afraid, and accidentally knocked over the oil lamp and poured it on the corpse. At this point, he stopped.

When Wu Bingxuan heard this, he understood that he killed Zhang Daomei just to cover up the truth, and Li Dai was stiff, so he continued to ask: "Why did you bring people to Zhang Xiucai's house?" ”

Jiang Yanyi said: "This matter is still Gao Fu's proposal, because he and Zhang Daomei are cousins, so he proposed that we bring Prince Mu to Zhang Xiucai's house." ”

Wu Bingxuan nodded, no wonder Mu Zhengnan would run from the north of the city to the west of the city at once, and asked, "How did you kill Zhang Daomei and Gao Fu?" ”

Jiang Yanyi said bluntly: "Killing Zhang Daomei was also mentioned by Gao Fu, and it was also done by him, that day Gao Fu and others on Zhang Daomei's way home, tricked him out of the city, and then Gao Fu killed him, I saw Gao Fu so vicious, I was afraid, and I was worried that he would leak secrets, so I killed Gao Fu." ”

Wu Bingxuan continued to ask: "Why did you kill He Qi, he has nothing to do with this case?" ”

Jiang Yanyi said: "That day, Gao Fu asked Zhang Daomei where he went last night, Zhang Daomei said that he was drinking with He Qi, and when he was drunk, he rested in a restaurant, I was worried that He Qi would say that the body was not Zhang Daomei's, so he tricked him out and pushed him into the river. ”

When Lu Jing heard this, he remembered that the file he read that day had the shopkeeper of a restaurant who died violently, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but now he thinks about it to cover it up.

Wu Bingxuan continued to ask, "Did you assassinate Master Lu and Lord Yang also to cover up the truth?" ”

Jiang Yanyi shook his head and said: "The student didn't assassinate anyone, after killing Gao Fu, the student hid at home, and didn't dare to tell anyone, and the student didn't know what happened later." ”

Wu Bingxuan patted the wood in surprise and said: "I advise you to confess honestly, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin!" ”

Jiang Yan Yiyu reported: "The student even confessed to the crime of murder, if he had done those things, he would naturally not deny it, not to mention that Master Lu defeated Prince Mu, Yu Guozijian was gracious, how could the student assassinate Master Lu." ”

Wu Bingxuan nodded when he heard this, and asked the people he instructed during the whole process, and Jiang Yanyi confessed one by one.

When Wu Bingxuan got to this point, he stopped abruptly and let Jiang Yanyi draw a charge.

Lu Jing saw that he admitted all the blame, although he knew in his heart that Jiang Ming had done the killing of Zhang Daomei, He Qi, Gao Fu and others, but when he thought of the emperor's explanation, he didn't make any more trouble. As for the king of Beijing who assassinated him, wait for him to settle accounts with him after he is defeated.

When Wu Bingxuan saw that he had finished drawing his detention, he took him into prison and prepared to ask the emperor for a verdict, and then announced his withdrawal from the court, and everyone dispersed.

Ishikawa Yoshiki thanked Lu Jing and Wu Bingxuan again, and left with a sad face, although the murderer had been found, he knew that there must be a deep secret behind the murder of the sixth prince.

Yesterday, the emperor and the king of Nan'an County looked for him separately, and the emperor told him that King Beijing was also the murderer behind the scenes, and he did it to assassinate Lu Jing and Yang Fengyi, but there was no evidence to move lightly.

The king of Nan'an County said that they had been investigating the case again, and they did not know what King Beijing had done, and now they came to tell the truth as soon as they found the murderer.

In order to investigate the case, Ishikawa Yoshimi took a Honglu temple to the Qing, and the king of Nan'an said very sincerely, and it was not good to make trouble directly, so he had to report all the situation to the country.

Lu Jing came out of the court, and when he saw that the dust had settled on this matter, he was completely relieved, he was finally relieved after so many busy days.

It's just that he didn't go far from the mansion when he was stopped by a young man, and Lu Jing saw that he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The man said with a calm expression: "Does Master Lu have time to talk about it?" ”

Lu Jing listened to her voice, and suddenly remembered that she was Zheng Chen's daughter Zheng Qingying, who had a relationship at Zheng Chen's house that day, she was dressed like this at the time, although she didn't know what her purpose was to find herself, but seeing that she looked like she was worried and cried, she nodded and agreed.

So the two came to a restaurant and sat down, Zheng Qingying said with a sad face: "The reason why Cousin Yanyi killed that little prince by mistake is all because of me. ”

Lu Jing was surprised: "How is this possible? ”

Zheng Qingying slowly explained: "That day, I saw that person bullying my father on stage, so I complained a few words, and my cousin Yanyi persuaded me next to me, so I scolded him for being cowardly and not daring to stand up for my father. ”

Speaking of this, tears flowed in her eyes, and she continued: "Originally, our two families were going to discuss marriage, so I said that as long as he could teach that prince a lesson, I would marry him, but I didn't expect him to really go, I was too willful, and it was all my fault. ”

Lu Jing finally sorted out everything when he heard this, Jiang Yanyi originally only planned to teach Mu Zhengnan a lesson, but he didn't expect to be plotted by King Beijing, his men killed people, and because it was in Zhang Daomei's house, he set fire to Zhang Daomei's home, and the next day he took Zhang Daomei out of the city, planning to replace Li Taozhuang, which led to all the follow-up things.

After thinking about it, he persuaded: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you, and he has also fallen for other people's calculations." ”

Zheng Qingying cried and shook her head: "If I hadn't stimulated him like that, he wouldn't have taught that person a lesson, and he wouldn't have caused so many troubles." ”

Lu Jing really didn't know how to persuade him when he heard this, so he had to ask, "Why are you telling me this?" ”

Zheng Qingying said: "I don't dare to tell my father that after you defeated that little prince that day, he said that he wanted to be like you, I just came to tell you that Cousin Yanyi is not a wicked person." ”

Lu Jing fell silent when he heard this, even if he was not a wicked person, he had done evil things, Zhang Daomei, He Qi, Zhang Daomei's burned neighbors, Hua Ling, innkeeper and others were so innocent, they all suffered unjustified disasters and died in vain because of the mistakes he made.

Zheng Qingying saw that Lu Jing was silent, and talked to herself for a while, then begged: "I want to visit him in prison, and I hope that Master Lu will be successful." ”

Lu Jing suddenly realized when she heard this, I am afraid that this is the real purpose of her finding herself, so after thinking about it, she agreed to come down and personally led him into the death row to visit the prison.

After Lu Jing sent the two to meet, he only watched from a distance and did not eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, but saw Zheng Qingying constantly sobbing, and the more she cried, the more miserable she became; Jiang Yanyi looked anxious, persuaded him again and again, and sighed in his heart that creation made people.

Two quarters of an hour later, the jailer came to urge, and Lu Jing saw that the time was almost up, so he took her away.

The two parted with pity, and Jiang Yanyi kept telling her not to blame herself and live well.

Then Jiang Yanyi forcibly stood up against the fence and saluted Lu Jing.

Lu Jing nodded at him, which was considered a return gift.

Out of prison, Lu Jing saw Zheng Qingying leave with an extremely self-reproachful expression, and sighed in her heart that if Jiang Yanyi died, I am afraid she would not be able to think about it, in line with the attitude of doing her best, she wrote a letter to Zheng Chen, explaining in detail the beginning and end of this matter, and asked Zheng Chen to guard against this matter.

Then he went to see Ruyi and Xiaohuan, sent the two back to Ruyi's original residence, and asked Lu Zheng to help Xiaohuan bury Hualing, and after solving all the heads and tails, he returned to the mansion.

Lin Daiyu saw that Lu Jing looked tired when she arrived home, so she took the initiative to play the piano to appease her heart, while Yinglian burned incense and made tea next to her.

Lu Jing looked at the warm scene in front of him, so he rhymed with the two of them, and the couplet was reconciled, and he rested until the evening.

The next day, Emperor Yuanyong remembered Lu Jing's recent merits, so he issued an order to reward Lu Jing, in addition to the gold and silver rewards, and promoted Lu Jing to a bachelor from the five-grade Hanlin Academy.

Although everyone was extremely jealous of Lu Jing's promotion again, they knew that he had indeed made a lot of contributions recently, especially in the case of the little prince of Qianxiang Country this time, he turned the tide and found the real culprit, so he had to congratulate him.

Shen Liang, Chen Ting, Zhao Xian and others immediately brought gifts to congratulate them when they heard the news, and Lu Jing and Daiyu were busy socializing. After a few days of bustling, the Lu Mansion returned to calm again.

A few days later, Jiang Yanyi was sentenced to be executed, Jiang Ming was forced to return to his hometown because of the court's accusations of lax discipline and shielding his son, and Jia Yucun was promoted to the secretary of the military department.
