In the early dynasties, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the court to discuss, and there were many doubts about Ling Kun's private release of suspects, especially some imperial histories have begun to roar, the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, why should the case be released before the trial is concluded, he Ling Kun is naked speculative flattery.

Ling Kun stood in the corner and was calm, like an old monk in a fixed place, Zhao Mingyue had already returned, he had nothing to worry about.

provoked Lao Tzu and eloped with Zhao Mingyue, yes, eloped to Liao.

"The emperor has arrived." With Wang Jien's iconic male duck voice, the court immediately fell silent.

Zhao Guangyi has been reported, the princes have gone home, from the bottom of his heart, he is relieved, how can all the children be imprisoned, the old father is not distressed. However, he was also worried that Ling Kun would violate the ancestral system and operate improperly, causing turmoil in Chaogang.

"Ling Aiqing, how is the case being tried?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister thought that in this case, most of the princes were not suspected of committing crimes, and there was no need to be locked up in prison, so the ministers decided to release them on bail pending trial, only the three princes are currently suspected, and they are still locked up in Kaifeng Mansion for the time being."

"Bail pending trial? What do you mean? Zhao Guangyi asked.

"It is a measure taken by the Kaifeng Prefecture to order the suspect to provide a guarantor, sign a letter of guarantee, and guarantee that he will not evade or obstruct the review, and be on call and unconditionally cooperate with the review."

"Is there any such thing in the ancestral system?" Zhao Guangyi asked with some confusion.

Yushi Han Jiangong took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, you have never seen this kind of bail pending trial in the ancestral system of all dynasties, this Lord Ling has done everything to please the emperor, it is too ridiculous, please Your Majesty immediately remove Ling Kun." ”

"Lord Yushi, the ancestral system was also invented by man, as long as it is a correct and effective procedure, why can't it be used? Our ancestors didn't have any clothes to wear before the earliest, so why don't adults also routinely make ancestral systems and run naked. Ling Kun argued.

"Poof." Everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing, but they forcibly held back.

"You, you're ......." Han Yushi's nose was crooked, and he shouted: "It's just insulting, how can such a vulgar person go to the court." ”

Zhao Guangyi waved his hand and said: "This matter involves my family affairs, I am not very easy to call the shots, what do you all think?" ”

The imperial history is all people who drill the horns of the bull, but the rest of the ministers are all human spirits, and the princes of the people have finally come back, and if you persuade people to go back, isn't that looking for death.

Therefore, except for a few more serious ones, almost everyone thinks that Ling Kun is doing the right thing, and it is a good judicial policy that has not been encountered in a century, and it is worth promoting and applying on a large scale.

The emperor was very happy and clapped his hands and said: "Then so be it, but the case has to be solved urgently, and it can't be delayed any longer." ”

After retiring from the dynasty, Ling Kun returned to Kaifeng Mansion and tried the third prince Zhao Yuankan again. Zhao Yuankan was very emotional, and roared in court on the spot, so he had no choice but to take it down.

After taking two turns in the lobby of Kaifeng Mansion, without any thoughts, he decided to go home and see what Zhao Mingyue could do.

It may be that the authorities are fascinated, or it may be that this case is indeed too complicated, but Zhao Mingyue, who usually wins thousands of miles, is at a loss for this matter.

Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue sat opposite each other, sighing and meditating, Xiao Ran felt even more bored and restless.

At this time, the housekeeper reported outside: "Master Hou, Miss Liu E is here." ”

"Please let her in." Ling Kun said lazily.

The door opened, Liu E hurriedly ran in, and knelt at Ling Kun's feet with a pop: "My lord, the third prince will never kill anyone, I know him, he has never coveted the throne." ”

Liu E lives in Shuanglong Lane, is well-informed, and knows something about what happened in the court, when she heard that the three princes were imprisoned, she was already as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and now she heard that the other princes have been released, only the three princes are still closed, and she is even more anxious. It just so happened that the current Kaifeng Mansion Yin was Ling Kun, so he hurried over.

Ling Kun hurriedly helped Liu E up and said, "Miss Liu, we also believe that the third prince is innocent, but he is the only one who is suspicious, and I can't help it." ”

When Liu E heard this, she fell on the table and cried. But this Liu E is not a simple weak woman after all, she cried for a while and then wiped her tears, and asked calmly: "My lord, is there any evidence to prove that the third prince is suspected of poisoning?" ”

Ling Kun shook his head and said, "No, the prince is eating the dishes on the same table and drinking the wine in a jar, but he has poisoned King Xu, which is really weird." The reason why the third prince is suspicious is because the second prince is dead, which is the best for him. ”

Liu E frowned and pondered, and after a while, asked, "Eat the same dishes and drink the same wine, only King Xu is poisoned?" ”

Zhao Mingyue saw that her eyes were different, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have any clues?" ”

Liu E frowned, her breathing was short, and she said after a while: "When you say this, it reminds me of a person, maybe the matter has something to do with him." ”

"Who is it?" Ling Kun and Zhao Mingyue asked at the same time.

"Gong Mei."

"Gong Mei? Who is Gong Mei? ”

"It was my former husband, and later he sold me to Goolan in order to pay off his gambling debts, and was redeemed by the third prince."

"Oh, it was him." Zhao Mingyue said: "But how can this matter have anything to do with him? ”

"In this way, it seems that I hurt the third prince." Liu E sighed and said, "Do you still remember why the three princes were imprisoned in Nangong?" It was because Gong Mei made trouble and teamed up with the White Lotus Sect to smash the Shouwang Mansion. Gong Mei, I know, is as timid as a mouse, and would never dare to make such a fuss, she must have been used to frame the third prince. ”

Zhao Mingyue said: "I know about this, and I once suspected that it was instigated by the second brother, but what does this have to do with the death of the second brother?" ”

Liu E shook his head and said: "I don't know what he has to do with the death of the second prince, but he has undoubtedly been involved in it, and do you know, he is a silversmith, and once told me that his master will make a kind of mandarin duck pot, and two kinds of wine can be poured out of the pot, one is poisonous wine, and the other is good wine, but God kills people invisibly." ”

When Ling Kun heard this, he stood up and said, "The clue you said is too important, I will arrest Gong Mei immediately." The man was already out the door.

rushed all the way to Kaifeng Mansion, called the chief catcher Chen Chaoying, and ordered him to immediately arrest a person named Gong Mei.

Gong Mei was just released from Kaifeng Mansion not long ago, and the officials all knew about it, so Chen Chaoying came back to report that Gong Mei had been arrested.

Ling Kun was overjoyed, immediately ascended to the hall, and took Gong Mei to the hall.

Gong Mei was thin and withered, and she was still on the ground by two errand servants, trembling and shaking.

Ling Kun slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Raise your head." ”

Gong Mei raised his head tremblingly, revealing his sharp-beaked monkey cheek face.

Ling Kun was immediately stunned when he saw it, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, the peaks and loops turned, and the nerves that felt how many days of short circuit were instantly unblocked.
