After listening to Han Tae's defense, Lu Chongde's brows couldn't help frowning, don't talk about him, even the people on the scene heard that Han Taek was quibbling, if he acted in his style, he would definitely have to go through Yan Yan and Zheng Lin to get Han Tae's reputation first, and then serve this kind of punishment for the people.

"Wang Shengyuan, do you remember the difference between Han Yakui before and after befriending Xu Shengyuan? I heard that during that time, Han Yakui liked to make friends from all over the world. ”

But Li Hongyu didn't seem to care about Hankook's lies, and he still sat firmly on Diaoyutai without the slightest intention of refuting it, and asked Wang Hongyun loudly after a while, which made Lu Chongde look puzzled, and he didn't know what medicine Li Hongyu was selling in his gourd.

"Back to Li Jieyuan, if I remember correctly, Han Yakui traveled around and talked with students from all over Changsha Mansion before meeting his cousin, and many people took the initiative to make friends with Han Yakui at that time."

Wang Hongyun thought about it when he heard this, and said to Li Hongyu with a shocked expression, "If it weren't for Li Jieyuan's reminder that he hadn't paid attention to it, after Han Yakui got acquainted with his cousin, he began to concentrate on preparing for the exam, and he didn't travel around again, and he became a close friend who talked about everything!" ”

At this moment, Wang Hongyun had realized that Han Tai was deliberately approaching Xu Tao, and with the words of the love poem, he vaguely guessed something, which made him suddenly feel a storm in his heart.

"Li Jieyuan, many Changsha Mansion students can prove that what he said is true." Saying that, Wang Hongyun looked up at the student beside him, this matter is not a secret.

"Li Jieyuan, this matter is true, many of us met Han Yakui at that time." Several students standing around Wang Hongyun immediately spoke up, and the time they knew Hankook was not much different from the time Xu Tao knew Hankook.

"Han Yakui, if you guessed correctly, the reason why you asked for that love poem from Chunzao is to find the **** Liu villain through the handwriting on the love poem, and the person who can write such a good hand is naturally not an idle person, and he must have gone through the cold window to read hard, so he made friends around during that time unusually."

After listening to the words of Wang Hongyun and others, Li Hongyu stared at Han Tai, who was pale, and said, "Since Wang Shengyuan and others can recognize that this love poem was written by Xu Shengyuan, then with Han Yakui's strength, it must be easy to confirm that the **** Liu family is Xu Shengyuan from the handwriting." ”

"However, to Ben Jieyuan's surprise, you actually dragged on for nearly two years before you started with Xu Shengyuan, and during this period, you had to pretend to be a confidant with Xu Shengyuan, presumably life was really hard."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu turned around, raised his voice and said in a loud voice, "Perhaps, Xu Shengyuan mentioned the matter of the Liu family under your deliberate inducement after being drunk, but because you could only watch your enemy close at hand and did not dare to act rashly, did you want to cut down this culprit who killed the Liu family with a knife?" ”

"By the way, when Xu Shengyuan was in the **** Liu's, did the Liu family call your name for help?"

Speaking of this, Li Hongyu shook his head at Han Tai with regret, and asked in a deep voice, "It's a pity, the Liu family has always been in love with you, but how did she know that she can only rank second in your heart, the first place is naturally the imperial examination, and entering the court as an official is your ultimate pursuit, even if you know about this matter at the time, I'm afraid you will sit back and watch, do you want to die with Xu Shengyuan for a woman!" ”

"Shut up, if I knew what happened to Fen'er, I would definitely kill Xu Tao, a beast!" Hearing this, Han Tai, whose face was pale, could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and couldn't help but interrupt Li Hongyu, shouting, "You don't know how deep the relationship between me and Fen'er is, she is all I have, and the imperial examination is not worth mentioning compared to her!" ”

Immediately, Han Tai was slightly stunned, the expression on his face changed greatly, and he couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu in amazement, realizing that he had just been hit by Li Hongyu's radical method, and the Fen'er in her mouth naturally referred to Liu's nickname.

"Li Jieyuan, what I just said below is based on an assumption you said, Miss Liu's Bingqing Yujie person died of a sudden illness, this is a well-known thing, please don't slander Miss Liu's name!" After stabilizing his mind, Han Tae forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Li Hongyu with a gloomy face.

"Actually, it's easy to verify whether Miss Liu is Bingqing Yujie or not." Li Hongyu stared at Han Tai for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Han Yakui, your friendship with the Liu family makes Ben Xie Yuan admire it very much, so Ben Xie Yuan retracts what he just said, and the Liu family occupies the first position in your heart. ”

"Han Yakui, you have done your best to avenge the Liu family and protect her reputation, so even if you see the Liu family under Jiuquan in the future, you can face her openly."

As he spoke, Li Hongyu's tone became heavy, "Actually, you have lost from the beginning of the court trial, and everyone must have understood the twists and turns at this point, do you have to force Ben Jieyuan to do what you are most unwilling to do before you are willing to bow down and confess?" ”

"Li Jieyuan, I know that you boasted about Haikou in front of Lord Futai, saying that you could close the case within one day, and now I want to see how you force Zai Xia to admit that trumped-up charge."

Seeing Li Hongyu's confident appearance, Han Tai immediately sneered when he heard this, stared at Li Hongyu coldly and said, "Yakui in the Xia Nai Undergraduate Township Examination, if you want to torture to extract a confession, I'm afraid it won't be so easy, at least you have to report to the Ministry of Rites to get rid of your reputation!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a commotion, Han Tai was right, he was not only a new promoter in Huguang but also Yakui, if he wanted to get rid of his fame, Yan Yan and Zheng Lin couldn't be the master, they had to report to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites would remove him, and then he could be punished.

In other words, Xiucai is managed by the school officials of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, while the lifting of people is managed by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, there will be an interesting phenomenon in the local yamen, the local governor can be the board of the lower-level officials, but can not move those scholars who have meritorious reputation, and their meritorious names must be removed before they can be punished, otherwise they will wait to be impeached, this situation is especially prominent in the Ming Dynasty, where the power of scholars and doctors was the strongest.

Lu Chongde finally understood why Li Hongyu had to be patient and quarrel with Han Tai here, Li Hongyu and Fang Yun set a one-day limit to conclude the murder case of Mingyue Pavilion, if Han Tai did not admit his guilt, then he had to report to the Ministry of Rites to remove Han Tai's reputation, and then he could be punished and served, and then he could get his confession.

In ancient times, the confession of the prisoner was very important, and the most important evidence in the judgment of the case, although some people survived the torture and shouted injustice, but in the end, the servants pressed the fingerprints on the confession, Li Hongyi belonged to this situation, in the eyes of the government, he belonged to the stubborn Diao people.

Now, Han Tae's posture of not admitting to death is clear, so it is impossible for Li Hongyu to get his confession within a day, and the servants dare not force a meritorious scholar to put his fingerprint on the confession, which is an inadvertent crime.

Li Hongyu naturally took into account that Han Tai would resist stubbornly, and after thinking about it, he bowed slightly to Fang Yun, who was sitting on the other side, and handed over the rest of the matter to him, and he would finish it, after all, this case was investigated by the two of them, how could Li Hongyu be in the limelight alone?

"Chun Zao, Ben Jingkui asks you, why did your young lady suddenly have an accident?" Seeing this, Fang Yun nodded to Li Hongyu, and then asked the spring jujube who was kneeling there with a serious expression.

As the leader of the scholars of Changsha Mansion, this case must be decided by him, after all, the cause of the Mingyue Pavilion case is a personal grudge between Han Tai and Xu Tao, and only in this way can the reputation of Changsha scholars be restored.

"Back to Master Jingkui, my young lady was **** by the gangster, and she slipped and died!" The look on Chun Zao's face darkened when he heard this, and he replied faintly.

"Can your young lady tell Han Yakui about this in advance?" Fang Yun glanced at Han Tai, whose face was extremely ugly, and continued to ask.

"Han Yakui plans to marry my young lady in a beautiful way after being admitted to the juren, but my young lady concealed this matter in order to avoid distracting him and delaying his future, and has never told him about it."

Chunzao couldn't control the grief in her heart at this time, and said while wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "After accidentally learning that she was pregnant, my young lady wanted to slip the fetus, but she was kind in her heart and it was difficult to hurt the fetus in her womb, after all, the fetus was innocent, so she decided to raise it alone after she was born." ”

"But who would have thought that Han Yakui suddenly came and proposed to marry my young lady and the old man agreed to this family business, my young lady had no choice but to slip the tire, hoping to hide it from Han Yakui."

As she spoke, Chun Zao couldn't cry anymore, "As a result, Miss Xiabelly did not kill the fetus with a bowl of slippery fetal medicine, but shed a lot of blood, and when the doctor and Han Yakui who temporarily lived in the house arrived, Miss was no longer able to do it, and she took Han Yakui's hand and died in his arms." ”

Infected by the spring jujube, some of the women who stood outside the lobby to hear the trial couldn't help but shed tears, feeling sorry for Liu.

Han Tae couldn't control the grief in his heart, two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks, and he remembered the Liu family who died in his arms vividly, and he will never forget that scene at that time for the rest of his life.

"Can you tell Ben Jingkui that the fetus was a few months old at that time?" Fang Yun secretly sighed and asked with a serious expression, if it weren't for the fact that he had to do something to hurt the dead Liu family.

"Back to Master Jingkui, about five months." Chunzao wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, thought about it and replied.

Hearing this, Han Tai was slightly stunned at first, and then his face changed greatly, and the whole person couldn't help but freeze there, looking at Fang Yun with a shocked expression, he had already guessed what Fang Yun wanted to do next at this time.

"Lord Zhentai, Liu's death was due to the failure of the slippery fetus, the fetus is still in her womb, and the five-month-old fetus has been formed, so as long as the coffin is opened for an autopsy to see if there are fetal bones in Liu's bones, you can know whether Han Yakui has an unknown old grudge with Xu Shengyuan!"

Under Han Tai's frightened gaze, Fang Yun pondered for a while and then bowed his hand to Lu Chongde and said loudly.

With a bang, the scene exploded, and people began to talk about it, after Li Hongyu's long list of foreshadowing, whether Liu was pregnant or not became the key to the Mingyue Pavilion murder case.

"Lord Zhentai, don't do it, Miss Liu has already settled in the ground, don't go and disturb her." Han Tai was very anxious in his heart, he was not willing to be arrested like this, so he shouted at Lu Chongde in a loud voice, "All of this is just Li Xie Yuan and Fang Jingkui's unscrupulous speculation, once it is verified that Miss Liu is innocent, aren't you afraid of being impeached?" ”

"If this official is dedicated to serving the people and enforcing the law impartially, how can he act in disregard of the facts for fear of impeachment?"

Lu Chongde has been in the officialdom for many years, and Han Tai's words naturally can't scare him, and he is not a fool, so he naturally knows that the Liu family must be pregnant, so he sneered and looked at Han Tai and said, "The Mingyue Pavilion murder case is very important, since Miss Liu has been involved in this case, then this official naturally needs to find out!" ”

"Come on, go to Changsha Mansion quickly, and order the Changsha Prefect to immediately prepare for the opening of the coffin and find out if Miss Liu is pregnant!" As he spoke, Lu Chongde took out a lottery from the lottery holder in front of him, threw it on the ground in front of the hall with a shake of his hand, and shouted in a deep voice.

A clerk immediately stepped forward and picked up the order, bowed his hand to Lu Chongde, and then went to handle the relevant official documents with the order, preparing to leave for Changsha City immediately.

Li Hongyu looked at Han Tai who was frozen there with a dead face, he saw a trace of despair in Han Tae's wooden eyes, and he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, if he didn't guess wrong, with Han Tai's deep feelings for Liu, he would never let Liu be opened for an autopsy, the ancient dead were the greatest, and it would be a great humiliation for the dead Liu.

"Lord Zhentai, the student pleaded guilty, and there is no need for the adult to send someone to disturb Miss Liu." Sure enough, when the clerk with the order signed walked to the door of the lobby, Han Tai smiled sadly, then knelt on the ground with his legs, and said to Lu Chongde with his head on the ground, "The student planned the murder of Mingyue Pavilion and killed Xu Shengyuan to avenge Miss Liu!" ”

Hearing this, the originally noisy scene was quiet in an instant, and people looked at Han Tai who was kneeling there, their eyes were full of sympathy.

"Alas!" Li Hongyu sighed, although it only took half a day to find out the truth of the case, he was not happy at all, and his heart was a little heavy, after all, no one wanted to witness such a tragic ending.
