Zhong Nian was not afraid of Zhiying's sneer, and after finishing his statement, he knelt in front of the hall with his head held high, waiting for a question.

Zheng Xingchuan touched his beard and said: "There is indeed a pair of bloody scissors in the new house, but the blood on it does not know whose it is, Zhong Shi's nephew said that the county intends to assassinate the prince, and it is rash to make a conclusion based on a pair of scissors, and the nephew was not present at the time of the incident, how can he conclude that his guess is correct?" ”

"Naturally, I was not present at the time, and what happened was what happened when I arrived at the scene, and the prince himself told me." Zhong Nian replied.

"In other words, what the nephew heard was only the words of the prince," Zheng Xingchuan took the initiative in the situation, "I wonder if the nephew has ever thought about it, maybe the scissors were deliberately thrown there by the prince after the death of the county lord in order to exonerate him?" The county lord is the nephew's own sister, does the nephew believe that she will assassinate the prince? ”

A sad smile appeared on Zhong Nian's face, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Lu Huan's temperament has always been strong, and her father has always been very accustomed to her, she said that she wanted to marry a general, and her father also relied on her and asked her to follow the emperor to Yanzhou north, but who would have thought that she went to Yanzhou, although she met Ruyi Langjun, but was blocked by her mother, not only did she fail to get her wish, but she had to watch that person marry another woman." ”

He shook off such an astonishing inside story, which suddenly made everyone in the hall change their faces - you must know that before Cui Yi ascended the throne, there were only three capable generals Cao Qian, Yang Qiong and Xu Cheng around him, and all three of them were married.

A Shangshu couldn't help but ask, "I don't know who this person is?" ”

Zhong Nian shook his head: "Since that person has already got married, it is useless to say more." ”

Everyone was powerless for a while, and said in their hearts: "You have said everything, only hurt the feelings of a couple, and halfway through the words, you are deliberately making the three families feel disgusted, lack of virtue!" ”

Zhiying sat in the chair and began to be not calm, she had the idea of marrying Zhong Luhuan to Yang Qiong, and Cui Yi also had the idea of marrying her sister to Xu Cheng, but both of them belonged to each other, and the last one didn't work out, I thought Zhong Luhuan was not such a cautious person, and she wouldn't be angry, but when Zhong Nian said it today, she was not very sure, did Zhong Luhuan really like Yang Qiong so much? Otherwise, how could he tell his brother about these old things in Yanzhou.

"The prince likes Lu Huan, several times to propose marriage, I talked to Lu Huan, she didn't make a statement, and then one day I was forced to ask anxious, a moment of anger, I said that I was willing to marry the prince, I just asked the emperor to give marriage, who knew that when I entered the palace the next day, Lu Wan regretted it again, denying that she said she was willing to two words."

Zhong Nian turned his head, glanced at Cui Yi with hateful eyes, and said: "But the emperor was furious at that time, accusing Lu Huan of not taking life's events as a child's play, since he agreed, he can't go back......"

Cui Yi instantly slapped the case as if he had been burned on the buttocks: "What nonsense!" When did I say such a thing! Don't rely on yourself to be a meritorious hero, and then lie in the court, do you know that slandering me is a serious crime of the Nine Clans! ”

Zhong Nian looked indifferent: "The criminal minister has long known that the emperor will deny it, it doesn't matter how the emperor finally judges the criminal minister and the criminal minister's family, since today is to try the case in front of the people of the capital, I have to tell the truth of the facts, if the emperor wants to let the Zhong family carry this black cauldron, even if the Zhong family has the ability to turn the world upside down, how can they be able to defeat the power of the emperor's son of heaven, and they can't escape death, it is better to say everything they want to say before they die, and cry out for Lu Huan. ”

Cui Yi was almost angry with him, it was obvious that he forced Zhong Luhuan to agree to marry Cui Xiang, and he didn't know what despicable means he used, if Zhong Luhuan really committed suicide, it was also the result of being forced by him to have no way out, but he was good, and he actually bit back! Zhong Nian said the word "back the black pot" in front of Dali Siqing, Liubu Shangshu and countless people in the capital who watched outside the hall, if he really did him, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no two hearts inside and outside the court, thinking that he was really a tyrant who was difficult for a strong man.

"On the day Lu Wan entered the palace, although there were only four of us in the imperial study, Du Zhen was all outside the door, and the guards in the Ouchi were all with ears. Zhiying said coldly.

"That's natural, the imperial concubine has always been as careful as dust, and she wants to help the emperor cover the sky with one hand, and these people's mouths are naturally bought." Zhong Nian seemed to be determined to discredit them all, and he didn't even want his life, betting on the lives of nearly 100 members of the Zhong family, and only betting on who the ministers and the people would believe.

The most terrible lie in the world is not nonsense, but a mixture of truth and falsehood, Zhong Luhuan really doesn't want to marry Cui Xiang, and does plan to stab him with scissors, and it is indeed Cui Xiang who accidentally hit him with a push, these key points, Zhong Nian said the truth, so he was not panicked and confident, but Zhiying's side could not come up with direct evidence to prove that Cui Xiang deliberately killed Zhong Luhuan, the situation changed again, Cui Xiang was a little desperate, and at this time he seemed to be proud, and the corners of his mouth were curved.

Zhiying also wanted to angrily accuse him of messing around, but reason told her that she couldn't do this, she was a superior person, and if she started a fire, it would be easy for the people below to think that she was annoyed and angry, but she was more powerful to Zhong Nian.

She set her expectant eyes on Cheng Fengyi, but unfortunately Cheng Fengyi was just a doctor, and all she could do was an autopsy, and there was no direct evidence of his murder on the corpse.

There was an unbearable dead silence in the hall, and all the six Shangshu did not dare to move, so they could only exchange opinions with each other's eyes, trembling, for fear that they would become the first birds and be sanctioned together.

Zheng Xingchuan didn't dare to speak, but he couldn't help but say it, so he had to look at Cui Yi inquiringly: "Or...... Leave first? Wechen went to the scene to find evidence again? ”

"Good idea, my lord will definitely find more evidence in favor of the emperor here." Zhong Nian sneered.

Zheng Xingchuan was dumbfounded: "You ......" was instead generalized, and he couldn't be called to retreat, or he really wanted to falsify evidence.

At this point, Zhiying has to sigh, the same brother and sister, the same want to climb the high branches, Zhong Nian's number of segments is really many times higher than Xie Yongzhen, before Shan Jian began to guide, Xie Yong can almost say that nothing has been done, in the Wuwang Mansion is nothing, but Zhong Nian is the opposite, he can force her and Cui Yi to such a situation, but the hateful Shan Jian is dead, Bailizan also went to the south on behalf of Cui Yi a few days ago, and he can't find a helper who is quick thinking and good at solving strange situations.

"Lu Wan was forced by the emperor to marry the prince, she was resentful and impulsive, but she lost her life......"

Zhong Nian continued to reverse black and white, but a loud voice like a bell came from outside the hall: "It's just nonsense!" ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Zhong Nian was instantly frightened, and he couldn't even turn around.

And the people sitting behind the table were relieved the moment the crowd parted and showed their true faces.

It was none other than Zhong Nian and Zhong Luhuan's father, Cui Yi's uncle Jiangzhou Hou Zhong Yuanshan!

Zhong Yuanshan was dressed in a riding costume, dusty, obviously rushing all the way from Jiangzhou, sweating profusely, he didn't care about wiping it, and rushed in with the hand of the yacha.

As the first hero of the mutiny, Zhong Yuanshan enjoyed the privilege of not kneeling in front of the palace and dismounting from the Hou Gate, but after he rushed into the hall, he knelt down without saying a word.

When Cui Yi saw his actions, he knew that he had nothing to do with this matter, and his heart was half lighter, and he said with a pleasant face: "Jiang Hou is exempt." ”

Zhong Yuanshan thanked him and got up, Zhong Nian saw his father like a mouse seeing a cat, he instantly cringed, and snorted: "Father, ......" Unexpectedly, Zhong Yuanshan kicked him horizontally, directly kicked the person out sideways, smashed the table in front of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu on the right hand, and scared the old man half to death.

"Rebel!" Zhong Yuanshan's face turned blue with anger, and his fingers pointing at him were trembling, "If it weren't for Lu Wan writing a letter home, I would have been completely kept in the dark by your mother and son who don't know the height of the sky!" Do you think that the Zhong family is now a dominant family, and they can do the things of changing the world without authorization? Who gave you the guts to rebel! ”

As soon as the word rebellion came out, the audience was in an uproar, and even the people outside the hall were shocked and gasped.

The tide has turned again! The arrival of Zhong Yuanshan revealed a bigger secret than before, Zhong Nian actually wanted to rebel? The Zhong family is already a dominant family, but they are still not satisfied? Who does he want to prop up? Cui Xiang?

Cui Yi slowly repeated: "Rebellion...... Jiang Hou, you can't talk nonsense, your son wants to rebel? Don't you know? ”

Zhong Yuanshan knelt down again, and said with an extremely sincere expression: "Back to the emperor, if the minister had known that Nian'er would have the heart of rebellion, he should have strangled him to death in swaddling clothes!" This is the letter that Lu Wan secretly sent back to Jiangzhou half a month ago, if it weren't for reading this letter, the minister couldn't believe that the son he taught was such a rebellious person! ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.

The master stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Cui Yi, Cui Yi poured out the letterhead, and frowned after only looking at two lines.

Although Zhiying did not see the content of the letter, just based on the change in Zhong Nian's face, it can basically be concluded that what Zhong Yuanshan said is true.

"It's okay for the minister to teach his son, he asked to strip him of his title and official position, demote him to a commoner, and exile him to Lingnan!" Zhong Yuanshan hugged his fists in pain.

Zhong Nian vomited blood and shouted, "Father! ”

Zhong Yuanshan said angrily: "Shut up! I don't have a son like you! For the sake of my own glory and wealth, even my own sister can be forced to die, I really hate that I didn't come two days earlier, so that Lu Wan was poisoned by you! As he spoke, he glared at Cui Xiang fiercely, staring at Cui Xiang so much that he didn't dare to come out, shrinking his neck, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

After Cui Yi read the letter, he gave it to Zheng Xingchuan again, Zheng Xingchuan was also shocked when he read it, and Zhiying couldn't help but say: "Take a look at the palace too?" ”

"I'm not busy, it's too late to go back and see again," Cui Yi shook his head and made a gesture for Zheng Xingchuan to continue the trial, "Zheng Aiqing." ”

Zheng Xingchuan was busy patting the shocked wood and said: "Jiang Hou, the rebellion is not trivial, the county lord did not mention it in the letter, do you have any evidence?" ”

Zhong Yuanshan sighed and said: "I received a letter from the little girl, and learned that she was forced by the dog in my name to marry King Jing, and that night I questioned Humble Jing, who admitted that he was carrying me behind my back with the dog, forming an alliance with the Ye family and the Xie family, supporting King Jing, and waiting for King Jing to ascend the throne and become the emperor, the little daughter was the queen, and Xie Yurou, the daughter of the Xie family, was the concubine......"

Before he finished his words, Cui Xiang knew that he would no longer be able to return to the sky, so he fell to the ground in shock and kowtowed: "Brother Huang, forgive me!" Brother Huang forgives his sins! It's all Zhong Nian's bewitchment, and the younger brother was confused for a while, so he believed his nonsense, and the younger brother really has no intention of rebelling! He seduced his younger brothers! ”

Zhong Nianzhong betrayed his relatives and left, knowing that he was not lucky, and he no longer refuted.

"Oh? So what happened to Lu Huan's death? Cui Yi asked.

Cui Xiang knocked his forehead and bled out, and whimpered: "In the middle of the night the day before yesterday, Zhong came to find his brother to discuss cooperation with the Ye family and the Xie family...... The younger brother really missed for a while to push her into the cabinet, and the younger brother really didn't have the intention of killing her! My brother really likes her! ”

There was a boos outside the hall, and everyone in the hall also had different expressions, but they couldn't escape a "angry and indisputable", to say that Cui Yi was also angry at the crown and became a red face, and tried his best to fight the country to be the emperor, all just for the beloved woman, why is the difference between the two brothers so big?

"Okay, now that the human and material evidence is there, and the confession is available, the case has become clear, and I ask the emperor to decide." Zheng Xingchuan caressed the frightened heart in less than half a day, and seriously calculated the matter of returning to his hometown.

Cui Yi snorted coldly and said, "Kill." ”
