(The next volume will start tomorrow, the title of the gold list)

At noon, according to the teahouse diagonally opposite the yamen of the inspection department.

Zhu Shengchang asked for the opinions of Zhu Yuting and Zhu Wanting, and was ready to lead the two to lunch, in his opinion, today's court trial will definitely last until the evening, and it is so easy to get Han Tai to confess.

"Lord Yu, county lord, Han Yakui has confessed!" Just when the three of them came to the door of the hall on the first floor of the teahouse, a guard rushed over in a hurry and bowed down to report.

"Pleaded guilty?" Zhu Wanting, Zhu Shengchang and Zhu Yuting couldn't help but be taken aback, looking at each other, no one could have imagined that the case would have a result so quickly.

"But Han Yakui was tortured?" Soon, Zhu Shengchang reacted and asked quietly.

"Back to the prince, Han Yakui was not punished, Lord Zhentai is going to send someone to Changsha Mansion to open a museum to check whether Han Yakui's dead fiancée is pregnant."

The guard shook his head and replied in a deep voice, "Han Yakui then pleaded guilty on the spot, admitting that the murder in Mingyue Pavilion was secretly planned by him in order to avenge his dead fiancée. ”

"I didn't expect that this Li Jieyuan trial case was really very skillful, and he actually set such a big trap for Han Yakui to force him to jump!"

Zhu Yuting couldn't help laughing when she heard this, although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that Li Hongyu was really powerful, and he really concluded the bloody case of Mingyue Pavilion in one day, and forced Han Tai to confess his guilt and surrender to the law.

Although the court trial is still going on, there is no doubt that the remaining thing is to wrap up, and the people involved in the Mingyue Pavilion will be sentenced according to the facts of the case.

Of course, don't look at Lu Chongde as the chief judge of this case, but he can't decide how to sentence him, and he has to report to Li Yu to follow Li Yu's instructions, so the court trial will definitely drag on until the afternoon.

Generally speaking, in ancient cases, the verdict was pronounced in court, and the time for the verdict was rarely delayed after the facts of the case were clear, after all, the officials who tried the case had a lot to do, so the faster the efficiency of closing the case, the better.

"I knew he wasn't going to let me down." Zhu Wanting giggled when she came back to her senses, and was extremely happy that Lee Hongyu had succeeded in forcing Han Tae-thae to confess.

"Alas!" Zhu Shengchang and Zhu Yuting couldn't help but glance at each other helplessly when they heard this, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun were a blockbuster in the retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion murder case, which undoubtedly made Zhu Wanting have more good feelings towards Li Hongyu.

After Li Yu's approval, Lu Chongde officially made a judgment on the Mingyue Pavilion case in the afternoon, as the direct murderer of Xu Tao, Chen Aniu was sentenced to be hanged and beheaded, but because he was alone, no family could be implicated.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Red Sleeves should have been sentenced to a summary execution, and his family was exiled for 3,000 miles, while Han Tae was sentenced to a summary execution.

However, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun interceded for Han Tai and Red Sleeves in the lobby, thinking that although the crime committed by the two was unforgivable, it was excusable, after all, the cause of the incident was that Xu Tao was evil first, so they hoped that the government could deal with it at its discretion and give the two of them a way out.

In fact, Li Yu and Lu Chongde were unwilling to kill Han Tai, no matter how Han Tai was said to be the Yakui of Huguang Township, killing him would easily cause criticism in Shilin, and it was also a scandal for Huguang.

It is worth mentioning that Li Hongyu and Fang Yun not only revealed in the lobby that Han Tai was the mastermind of the murder of Xu Tao, but also proved that Xu Tao had indeed been to Liu's town more than ten times during the time when Liu was ****, for unknown reasons.

Coupled with the love poem written by Xu Tao, it can be confirmed that it is indeed **** Liu, and the Yamen of the Inspectorate finally adopted this speculation.

Therefore, Han Taehe and Red Sleeves were finally sentenced to exile for 3,000 miles and could not return for the rest of their lives, which can be regarded as a life that escaped death.

As for the other people involved in the case, they were sentenced to ten years in prison and exile according to the severity of the case, and the sensational Mingyue Pavilion murder case finally came to an end.

At the same time, Li Hongyi was also acquitted by Lu Chongde in court, which made Li Hongyi, who was for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, couldn't help crying, he thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't think that Li Hongyu really washed away his grievances.

Lu Chongde had already sent an official document to Yan Yan, the official of the school, explaining to him the facts of the Mingyue Pavilion case, indicating that Yan Li Hongyi had been framed, so he asked him to restore Li Hongyi's reputation.

It is worth mentioning that although Han Tai is in prison, he is still the Yakui of the Huguang Township Test, after all, he did not cheat in the exam, but his fame will be deprived in the near future.

Hankook will set a record in the history of the Ming Imperial Examination, becoming the shortest person to experience, and only two days after the list was published, he was sent to the Ministry of Rites by the government to seize his fame.

After the court trial, Li Hongyu asked Li Hongqing to take Li Hongyi home, and he and Fang Yun followed Lu Chongde to see Li Yu and report the court trial in detail.

In fact, Li Yu had long been clear about what was happening in the lobby of the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, and was very satisfied with Li Hongyu and Fang Yun, and cleanly found out the truth of the Mingyue Pavilion case.

For this reason, Li Yu set up a banquet in the evening to celebrate the achievements of Li Hongyu, Fang Yun and Lu Chongde, and all the local officials in Huguang participated, and praised Li Hongyu and Fang Yun during the banquet, and the two of them became an instant hit, everyone knew that the retrial of the Mingyue Pavilion case had become a stepping stone for Li Hongyu and Fang Yun to enter the officialdom, and the various factions in the capital would definitely compete to win over them.

In fact, Li Yu, Yan Yan, Zheng Lin and others have begun to throw olive branches to Li Hongyu and Fang Yun, wanting to pull them into their own camp, and capable talents like the two of them can be found by any force.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggle had reached a white-hot level, which can be described as the most fierce and complex period in Chinese history, and the struggle between civil officials and eunuchs, the contest between civil officials and nobles, and the factional struggle within civil officials constituted the theme song of the officialdom in Beijing.

For the kindness of Li Yu and others, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun naturally accepted it respectfully, secretly thinking about their future plans in their hearts.

Because of the friendship of the same year, no matter whether the two join the same camp after arriving in the capital, they will definitely have a close relationship in the future.

Obviously, officials in the officialdom cannot have only one social circle, their interpersonal relationships are composed of large and small social circles together, and whoever has more circles will be easier to walk in their career in the future, and the less resistance they will encounter.

After the banquet ended, it was already dark at night, and Li Hongyu and Fang Yun also went home after sending Yan Yan and Zheng Lin and others away in front of the governor's yamen.

In fact, don't look at Li Hongyu and Fang Yun in the lobby to force Han Tai to confess, in fact, the two spent a lot of time and energy for this day, and secretly investigated the case.

Speaking of which, the two of them were lucky, who would have thought that Chun Zao, the key witness of Xu Tao and Liu's incident, would be married to a village in a township near Wuchang City by Liu's parents, originally wanting to let Chun Zao go as far as possible, but unexpectedly sent Chun Zao to Li Hongyu and Fang Yun.

Maybe there is always providence in the dark, this is the fate of Chunjuo, and it is also the life of Liu, Xu Tao and Han Tai, so that the truth of Liu's **** and Mingyue Pavilion's case is finally revealed after all the twists and turns.

Although it was getting late, Li Hongyi, Li Hongqing and others had not yet fallen asleep when Li Hongyu arrived at the Li Mansion, and were chatting in the hall while waiting for him to come back.

"Hongyu!"

Seeing Li Hongyu come back, Li Hongyi hurriedly got up and walked out of the hall, staggered to meet him, came to Li Hongyu and knelt down with a plop, the corners of his mouth squirmed and wanted to say something but finally couldn't say it, his face was full of guilt.

After Li Hongyi fell into the case of Mingyue Pavilion, he thought that he would definitely die, but in any case, he did not expect that the person who would save his life in the end would be Li Hongyu, so he felt ashamed when he thought of his previous exclusion and bullying of Li Hongyu.

"Second brother, get up quickly, you just came out of prison and your body is still very weak."

Li Hongyu knew that Li Hongyi's state of mind at this time must be mixed and extremely complicated, since he spared no effort to save Li Hongyi, he naturally forgave Li Hongyi for what he had done before, so he smiled slightly and stepped forward to help him up with concern.

When Li Hongyi heard this, a wry smile suddenly flashed at the corner of his mouth, his smile was full of bitterness, holding Li Hongyu's hand and being helped into the hall by Li Hongyu, Li Hongyu's kindness to him He could only repay it with his heart and brains.

The next day, the Gongyuan of Wuchang City ushered in another heavyweight examination after the township examination, and the people of Huguang gathered together for the big examination to compete for the qualification to enter Beijing to participate in the examination, and according to the allocation of quotas, there were 200 people in Huguang who could participate in the examination.

Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng, and Yang Renxiao were the five lucky ones among the Huguangju people who were exempted from the exam, and although they could rush to the capital immediately, they usually participated in the send-off banquet that Li Yu held for the examinees.

Five days later, a list was posted again in front of the Gongyuan, and 195 people were lucky enough to pass the big examination and were able to enter Beijing to participate in the examination.

Among them, there are 20 people in Xiangyang Prefecture, and except for Liu Dongfu, all the people who were lifted in the township examination have obtained the qualifications to go to the capital.

Li Yu held a grand farewell banquet the day after the release of the list, which was not only to see off the people who participated in the examination, but also to present them with a coil to enter Beijing, so that they could successfully arrive in Beijing to take the exam.

According to historical records, at the beginning of the imperial examination, the people who entered Beijing to take the examination were escorted to the capital by the people of the local yamen, and later for various reasons, it was changed to the government to issue coils, and the people freely chose the time and path of the trip.

At the end of September, Li Hongyu returned to Baihe Town, attracting people from ten miles and eight townships to come to see the excitement.

What is particularly important is that Li Hongyu cleared Li Hongyi's grievances in the Mingyue Pavilion bloody case, and the innocent matter of returning Li Hongyi has already spread in the Huguang area, which naturally makes people full of curiosity about Li Hongyu, so they want to witness Xie Yuanlang's demeanor.

Compared with those people in the Li family, Qin Yue's father Qin De is undoubtedly the most high-spirited, originally people thought that Qin Yue was helpless to marry Li Hongyu such a wreck, who expected that Li Hongyu would not be a blockbuster, not only won the Xiangyang Mansion Children's Test Xiao Sanyuan but also won the Huguang Township Test Xie Yuan, the future is limitless, it can be said that he picked up a golden beetle son-in-law for nothing.

In fact, Qin De still had a trace of worry in his heart, that is, Li Renhai had ordered a family for Li Hongyu before, and Li Hongyu was unknown in the past, but now he was admitted to understand the yuan, and he was not allowed to take the initiative to come to the door with a cheeky face, and then things would become bad.

However, this matter is not something that Qin De can control, the only thing he can do now is to pray that Li Hongyu's betrothed before the weak crown does not appear, as long as Li Hongyu is weak and Qin Yue is married, then he will not be afraid of anything.
