And Du Yi in the palace interjected:

"I, Jingzhao Mansion, should also be involved in this matter."

Gonggong Long shook his head and said:

"No, Lord Du, Jingzhao Mansion has not recovered, and there is a shortage of manpower, so the prisoners in prison should be tried first. And there is one more thing, let me ask Master Du, what confession did the celebrant who died in your hands walk that night? ”

Du Yi immediately raised his head when he heard that Gonggong Long mentioned the eunuch, he looked in the direction of the imperial couch, glanced at the two fathers-in-law above, and then Du Ji looked at Zhang Mingyue again. Zhang Mingyue turned his back to Du Ji, he didn't react, and he didn't have any words, Du Ji saw Zhang Mingyue and replied noncommittally:

"We only know that there was a fierce battle there, and we don't know anything about the rest, the officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress and the eunuch who took refuge in the demon thief are all dead, and there are no living mouths left at the scene, and there are no witnesses."

Gonggong Long nodded when he heard this, and then Du Ji suddenly changed his words and said:

"But there are some doubts at the scene that cannot be explained."

When Gonggong Long heard that there was something suspicious, his brows furrowed inadvertently, and Lan Ziyi, who was standing in the hall, also secretly tensed his spirit. Grandpa Long asked:

"What's in doubt."

Du Ji replied:

"It is true that the eunuch who threw himself into the thief and his guards died from the weapons of the officers and soldiers, but according to the report of the autopsy and the restoration of the scene by the senior head catcher of Jingzhao Mansion, the person who killed the father-in-law could not be found among the corpses of the officers and soldiers at the scene."

Hearing this, Gonggong Long hummed softly, and he asked again:

"Could it be that some unknown poor hand thief didn't take the initiative to ask for credit? Lord Du should check carefully, and don't bury the heroes. ”

Du Ji said:

"If there is such a possibility, I will arrange for people to carefully inquire about those officers and lieutenants. But there is another possibility. ”

When Gonggong Long heard that there was another possibility, his tone involuntarily increased, and he asked:

"What else is possible?"

Du Ji replied:

"After identification, the guards around the father-in-law are all Ouchi guards, each of them is extraordinary, even if the number is inferior, all the officers and soldiers will be killed, and they are all killed in one move, and the officers and soldiers kill these guards but several people need to attack together to be effective, so there are at least five or six official and military corpses next to the corpses of those Ouchi guards, and there is not even a single official soldier around the corpse of another guard at the scene."

Grandpa Long interjected at this time:

"They are not Ouchi guards, they have already surrendered to thieves, so they are not qualified to be Ouchi guards again! I have heard what Master Du said, whether the person who died alone would have moved by himself before he died, or whether the body had been moved. ”

Du Ji shook his head and said:

There was no sign of the man moving, and he must have died there. In addition to the two suspicions that the person who killed his father-in-law could not be found and the guard died alone, there was also a third suspicion, that is, the footprints at the scene were very chaotic. ”

Grandpa Long asked:

"What is there to doubt about the chaos of the two factions?"

Du Ji replied:

"If it's just the traces of two factions trampling on each other, it's naturally not suspicious, but the problem is that there is a third wave of people's footprints on the footprints at the scene, and judging from the footprints, these people are all attacking from the same direction."

Grandpa Long asked again:

"Could it be reinforcements sent by Jingzhao Mansion?"

Du Ji said:

"No, there were no living people at the scene when the Jingzhao Mansion reinforcements arrived, I thought that there was a third-party force present at that time, and in the end, the father-in-law and the guard were very likely to be killed by the third-party force."

Gonggong Long slowly rolled his eyes after hearing the so-called third-party forces and glanced at Lan Ziyi, who was standing in the hall

Feeling Grandpa Long's gaze, he has always maintained a humble posture with his chin bowed, and did not pretend that he was aware of Grandpa Long's gaze.

Long Gong Justice:

"If there are really unknown forces still hiding in the capital, then you must search carefully, and you must find out and cut them out!"

It's just that the subtle change in Gonggong Long's eyes just now did not escape the eyes of Zhang Mingyue and Du Ji, Du Yi set his eyes on Zhang Mingyue when he found that Gonggong Long was looking at Lan Ziyi, and Zhang Mingyue waited until Gonggong Long finished speaking before he said:

"Du Jingzhao, I remember that you didn't find out something about Wei Hou that night?"

Hearing this, Du Ji glared at Lan Ziyi viciously, he pretended to suppress the smile that was about to climb up his face, and then arched his hand and said to Zhang Mingyue:

"Lord Shoufu, the noble relatives of Wei Hou, non-subordinate officials can be checked, the errand who found Wei Hou that day was also threatened by the Taicheng guards who traveled with him, and he has been hiding at home and not daring to go out, and today in front of so many people, I really don't dare to mention the matter of Wei Hou."

Father-in-law Yu was happy when he heard Du Ji's words, and he sneered:

"I thought that you, you, the scholars, were all frank and unrestrained gentlemen, but the result was that your ability to fan the flames and scold Huai did not fall at all. Master Du, if you have anything to say, just say it, if you don't want to say that I will say it for you, I know what Ziyi does. ”

When Father-in-law Long learned that Father-in-law Yu also knew about this, the solemnity on his face suddenly decreased a lot, he turned his face to look at Father-in-law Yu and asked:

"Brother Yu knows what's going on?"

Father-in-law Yu pointed at Du Ji disdainfully and said:

"Let Lord Du say it, if Lord Du doesn't say everything, I'll say it for him."

Du Ji took a breath when he heard this, he lowered his forehead and glared at Father-in-law Yu angrily and said:

"That night, the Marquis of Wei was found in a small courtyard near the warehouse of the Green River, and he didn't know what he was doing, since his father-in-law knew, why didn't he explain it to the emperor?"

Father-in-law Yu sneered:

"Why don't you know what to do? That night, Ziyi personally took your Jingzhao Mansion's servants into the courtyard, what did your people not see? ”

Lan Ziyi knew that it was not appropriate to be silent at this time, so he bowed his hand to everyone and said:

"This matter is Ziyi's fault, I shouldn't have ordered someone to go out to collect inscription gold artifacts without permission, and I shouldn't have secretly gone to the treasury to watch alone at night, it's my fault, Ziyi pleaded guilty!"

At this time, Father-in-law Long's eyes had softened a lot when he looked at Lan Ziyi, and he asked Lan Ziyi with a smile:

"Wei Hou, what you said has no beginning or end, why don't I understand, what stone tablet and gold artifact, I am confused."

Du Yi interjected:

"When Wei Hou was found that night, he said that he was watching the stone tablet bronzes in the courtyard, but who would run to the warehouse on the Ghost Day?"

Father-in-law Yu grabbed the words and said:

"Ziyi has its own hidden secrets in this matter! No need to mention it again! ”

Grandpa Long asked:

"Brother Yu has something to hide for Wei Hou? Since you are so interested in this, Brother Yu still makes it clear to everyone. ”

Father-in-law Yu said "Hi", pointed at Lan Ziyi and scolded:

"His father asked him to go to the Wumiao Temple to guard the tablet of Lan Lao Tartar on the Winter Clothes Festival, but this kid was afraid of hardship and tiredness, so he ran away halfway and didn't go home.

When Lan Ziyi heard this, he hurriedly apologized and said:

"Ziyi is not filial piety, I thank the emperor for his guilt!"

How could Du Ji allow Lan Ziyi to get away with it easily, he questioned Lan Ziyi:

"Wei Hou really thinks that he can excuse himself by using the reward of gold and stone as an excuse?"

Lan Ziyi asked Du Ji rhetorically:

"I just didn't think I deserved to be sentenced on trumped-up charges!"

Yu Gonggong also said:

"Lord Du, you just want to say that the Marquis of Wei has something to do with the gunboats on the Green River, so since you found all the Marquis guards that night, have you found out the weapons of the soldiers and horses from that courtyard? Without evidence, why should you slander Wei Hou? ”
