Chapter 161: Stubborn Resistance

On the teahouse diagonally opposite the yamen of the inspection department.

"Hmph, I actually asked a cook and a prostitute to take down this case, it seems that this Li Jieyuan's character is not very good." After listening to the progress of a guard's report to the court, Zhu Yuting couldn't help but say coldly.

Obviously, in her opinion, Li Hongyu tried to settle Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves in order to exonerate Li Hongyi, and let the two bear the responsibility for killing Xu Tao.

Otherwise, according to the court trial in the lobby of the Prosecutor's Department, how could it have gone so smoothly, and in the face of the felony of murder, Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves happily admitted it without even taking a big punishment, so no matter how they looked at it, it was planned in advance, and it was deliberately staged in the lobby for others to see.

As for why Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves agreed to do this, it was nothing more than coercion and temptation, otherwise the two of them would have to bear such a serious crime after they were full.

"However, that Li Jieyuan can find people to be willing to be a substitute for the dead ghost in a short period of time, and he still has some ability." Zhu Shengchang laughed when he heard this, and he had some appreciation for Li Hongyu in his words, after all, the officialdom is cheating, if you don't know how to play some scheming, just wait to be cleaned up.

"The little sister thinks that Li Jieyuan has found the incriminating evidence of Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves, so that the two have to confess their crimes truthfully." Zhu Wanting didn't see it that way, smiling and sipping tea there.

She felt that Li Hongyu would never make a promise to the outside world to close the case within one day for no reason, this kind of sensationalism is not the style of Li Hongyu, who has always been low-key, which means that Li Hongyu must have some important clues, maybe he has already investigated the case.

"Sister, few of those who are keen on officialdom are good things, and they can do any despicable thing in order to get the benefits they want." Zhu Yuting scoffed at this, she had long been accustomed to the open and secret battles in Vanity Fair in Wuchang City, and thought that Li Hongyu was just a fame and fortune who liked to fight for power and fortune, isn't this exactly what those scholars dream of.

"The king of the county, the lord of the county, the red sleeves confessed in the lobby just now, and the person who made her murder Xu Tao is the new Ke Yakui Han Tai!" Just then, one of the guards hurried in, bowed down and reported in a loud voice.

"What?"

Hearing this, Zhu Wanting, Zhu Yuting and Zhu Shengchang were stunned, with surprised looks on their faces, obviously no one expected that Han Tai, the township test Yakui, would intervene in the case.

"Is that really what Red Sleeves said?" Soon, Zhu Shengchang came back to his senses and asked with a surprised look on his face as he stared at the guard who reported the news.

"Back to the prince, Red Sleeves has already confessed in court that he and Han Yakui conspired to kill Xu Tao, and the two met when Red Sleeves was still an embroidery girl in Embroidery Village, but outsiders don't know about it because of the secret correspondence." The guard nodded and replied in a deep voice.

"Now things get interesting." Zhu Shengchang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, looked at Zhu Wanting and Zhu Yuting and said, "Maybe this Li Jieyuan is really different, and he can investigate the case of Qingyue Pavilion." ”

Zhu Yuting glanced at Zhu Wanting when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but the corners of her mouth squirmed and she couldn't say it, although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that she had misjudged Li Hongyu before, otherwise she would definitely not involve Han Tai.

Obviously, Han Tai is not a lowly figure like Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves, but a dignified township test Yakui in Huguang, and he will definitely not succumb to Li Hongyu's coercion and temptation, and it is impossible for the government to witness such a scandal, and it will definitely be treated cautiously until the truth is clarified.

Zhu Wanting's family An Zhu Yuting looked like she wanted to speak and stopped, and after smiling, she raised the teacup in her hand at Zhu Yuting and gestured, and tasted it beautifully, she knew that Li Hongyu would not let her down.

At this moment, according to the lobby of the Yamen of the Inspectorate.

Chen Aniu and Red Sleeves and other people involved in the case knelt on the side of the lobby, Lu Chongde had already interrogated them, and now it was the turn of Han Tai, Wang Hongyun and others, who were drinking with Xu Tao in Mingyue Pavilion at that time, to go to the court for questioning, they were the last people involved in the Mingyue Pavilion case.

Because Han Tae was the main messenger behind the murder in Mingyue Pavilion, it had a huge psychological impact on the people who heard the trial, which made the scene unusually silent when the messenger brought Han Taok and others to come, and people quietly looked forward to Han Tae's arrival, and they all wanted to know if what Red Sleeves said was the truth.

When Han Tae's party was brought into the lobby, a small commotion broke out among the people outside the lobby, but the commotion soon subsided.

Han Tai, as the Yakui of Jinke, naturally had to walk at the front of the queue, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him being watched by the people on the scene, after all, he was the Yakui of the township test, which naturally attracted attention, but people's eyes made him feel a little weird, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite weird, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I've seen Lord Zhentai." Because Han Tai and Wang Hongyun and others have meritorious reputations, they don't need to kneel and come to the front of the hall to bow to Lu Chongde.

"Li Jieyuan, this official has been interrogating for so long and his mouth is dry, so it's up to you to ask next." Lu Chongde took a sip of tea from the teacup on the side, and said quietly to Li Hongyu, who was sitting at the bottom of the head, he wanted to see how Li Hongyu could make Hankook confess, after all, Hankook's ability to pass the Yakui exam means that his strength is not expensive and it is difficult to deal with.

"The students obeyed." Li Hongyu bowed his hand to Lu Chongde when he heard this, and Hongsheng agreed, and the decisive moment of the court trial finally came.

"In the same year, you were ordered by Lord Futai to assist Lord Zhentai in trying this case, and I hope to bear with me if I am offended." Subsequently, Li Hongyu bowed his hand to Han Tai, Wang Hongyun and others in the hall and spoke.

"Li Xie Yuan is polite." Han Tai, Wang Hongyun and others immediately bowed their hands, and they took the township examination together with Li Hongyu, so they had a friendship of the same year.

"In the same year, I know that you usually have close contacts with Xu Shengyuan, and you must be very eager to find out the truth of the case, so I won't say those polite words below."

Li Hongyu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he looked at Han Tai, Wang Hongyun and the others with a serious expression and said, "The girl with red sleeves is an important person involved in this case, I want to know which of you has never known her in life?" ”

"Li Jieyuan, although I have also been to Mingyue Pavilion in the next place, I have no relationship with the red-sleeved girl."

Hearing this, Han Tai, Wang Hongyu and the others couldn't help but glance at each other, and were very surprised by Li Hongyu's question, and then Han Tai stepped forward and replied in a deep voice after bowing his hand to Li Hongyu.

With a bang, the people outside the hall suddenly broke out into a commotion, and just now Red Sleeves said that he had a very deep personal relationship with Hankook.

"Silence!" When Lu Chongde heard this, his face suddenly sank, and he slapped the startling wood hard, and the noise at the scene stopped, and people looked at Hankook in surprise, waiting for the next development of the situation.

"Han Yakui, are you sure you haven't seen the red-sleeved girl before?" Li Hongyu's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, and he asked Han Tae quietly.

"Li Xie Yuan, I went to Mingyue Pavilion twice, but I couldn't see the red-sleeved girl twice." Although Han Tae was a little surprised by the commotion of the people before, he had time to think too much about where he was in the lobby at this time, so he said solemnly to Li Hongyu.

"It's weird, why did the red-sleeved girl say she knew Han Yakui?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu frowned slightly, and looked at the red sleeves who were kneeling there with their heads bowed, "Red sleeves girl, tell Han Yakui, when and where did you meet?" ”

Han Tai was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but look at Red Sleeves nervously, his mind was blank, he couldn't have imagined that Red Sleeves would tell such a secret thing, but it seems that Red Sleeves didn't seem to have been punished, so how could she easily reveal this matter, isn't she afraid of death?

"Back to Li Jieyuan, the folk girl met Han Yakui in the embroidery village where she used to work during the last township test, and Han Yakui chose a few embroideries for his fiancée at that time."

Hearing this, Red Sleeves glanced up at Li Hongyu, then looked at Han Tai, bit his lip and said with a gloomy expression, "Han Yakui found the folk girl during the trial in Kexiang Township and asked the folk girl to help him avenge the murder of his wife In addition to Xu Shengyuan, and promised to accept the folk girl as a concubine afterwards, the folk girl was confused by it for a while, so she did something confused. ”

"Lord Zhentai, the people's daughter has truthfully confessed, and I hope that your lord will be gracious and commute her punishment." As she spoke, Red Sleeves kowtowed to Lu Chongde and prayed sadly, she knew that she was going to die, and the only way to do this was to find a way to leave a way for her family to live.

"My lord, the student doesn't know her, she's framing the student!"

Han Tai was stunned by Red Sleeve's words, he didn't know what kind of ** soup Li Hongyu poured into Red Sleeve that made Red Sleeve even have no chance of surviving**, and then bowed down, and said to Lu Chongde in an eager voice.

Obviously, Han Tae will not be easily caught, and his relationship with Red Sleeves is extremely secretive, so as long as he does not recognize him, no one can know the relationship between the two of them.

"Han Yakui, did you write the words on this?" Hearing this, Li Hongyu stretched out his hand and beckoned an errand officer with a tray in his hand, and pointed to the paper on the tray that induced Xu Tao to go to the appointment in the morning.

"Li Jieyuan, although these fonts are very similar to those below, and they can almost be fake, but they are not written below, they are imitated by someone else's handwriting." Han Tae's face changed a few times when he saw the piece of paper on the tray, and then he shook his head, flatly denying that it had anything to do with him.

"In that case, Han Yakui, can you tell everyone why your fiancée died?" Li Hongyu knew that Han Tae was not so easy to be caught, so he did not question Han Tae's statement, but asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Zhentai and Li Jieyuan, in the next fiancée, died of an illness two years ago, and I only saw her for the last time when I arrived." The expression on Han Tai's face suddenly became a little gloomy when he heard this, and he looked up at Li Hongyu and Lu Chongde and said, "The local doctors and local security guards can testify to this matter." ”

"Han Yakui, although this is a bit offensive, in order to find out the facts of the case, I still have to ask, was Liu Qing Yujie's body before he died?" Li Hongyu saw a sad look in Han Tae's eyes, and knew that he really had a deep affection for his fiancée, so he asked with a solemn expression after a deep groan.
