Ji Wei glanced back at Zhang Xutuo and made a murderous gesture at Su Wei.

"If this matter is just based on this matter, this person has tarnished the innocence of the prince's concubine, and it is not an exaggeration to behead him on the spot in this court tonight." Su Wei made up his mind in his heart, looked at Ji Wei, and said slowly, "But Ji Fang Ling also knows that since the promulgation of the "Kaihuang Law" by the current saint in the second year of the emperor's reign, the people who have been convicted of capital crimes by the yamen of various state capitals must first be reviewed by the criminal department, and after verifying the reason, they can only be executed after the autumn. It is detrimental to the reputation of Yun Zhaoxun. You tell me? ”

"According to Yin Zhi of Su Mansion, is there no proper way to deal with him? Since this is the case, I will ask Su Fu Yin to promise me to take him away, and the East Palace will deal with him. Ji Wei's attitude was very clear: he wanted to force Su Wei to kill Zhang Xutuo tonight.

Su Wei did not answer directly, but ordered the officials of the mansion to take Zhang Xutuo and the East Palace guard out of the public court first, leaving only Ji Wei alone, Fang got up and walked to Ji Wei's side, and deliberately lowered his voice and said to Ji Wei: "I have a way to protect Yun Zhaoxun's reputation, I don't know if Ji Fang Ling is interested?" ”

Ji Wei looked at Su Wei with a puzzled look on his face and replied, "Su Fu Yin, please speak." ”

"The case has now reached the Jingzhao Yamen, and it is impossible to kill Zhang Xutuo without being known. Yun Zhaoxun thought in his heart, the first thing is to protect his name, and the second is how to punish Zhang Xutuo, what I said is right? ”

Ji Wei nodded hesitantly.

"That's going to do it." Su Wei made a look of thinking about Yun Zhaoxun, and said to Ji Wei in his heart, "Why don't you temporarily put Zhang Xutuo in solitary custody, find another charge, and sentence him to a long stream of 3,000 miles in the future, and send him far away to the desert of Western Xinjiang to fight on the border, so that it can not only avoid the Yamen of the Criminal Department from inquiring about the cause of the case, but also isolate Zhang Xutuo from others, so as not to chew his tongue, wouldn't it be able to ensure that this matter will not leak out?" ”

Looking up and seeing that Ji Wei was still hesitant, Su Wei further hinted at him: "Ji Fang Ling may not know something, over the years, less than half of the prisoners of the Jingzhao Yamen have been able to reach the place of exile alive......"

Ji Wei finally had a smile on his face, and bowed down to thank Su Wei: "If it is as Su Fu Yin said, our family has thanked Yun Zhaoxun here first." When our family returns to the palace to show the clouds, it will have another good reward. ”

It was easy to send Ji Wei and his party away, Su Wei didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ordered two cronies to take Zhang Xutuo to the back hall alone for questioning.

"His Royal Highness King Jin and I have a teacher-student friendship, you don't have to worry about it, you can tell this Mansion Yin in detail what you encountered tonight." After a Q&A in the public court, Su Wei also saw that Zhang Xutuo was a character, so as soon as he walked into the back hall, he first explained to him the teacher-student relationship between himself and his master, in order to dispel his concerns as soon as possible and facilitate his comprehensive and objective grasp of the case.

"The last general who should be said has just said it before, and that's what happened, I have nothing more to say." Zhang Xutuo didn't know that Su Wei left Ji Wei alone, so he whispered to him in the court, and became wary of Su Wei, so he replied casually.

"Let me ask you, as the general of the hussar camp of the King of Jin, why didn't you go out of the town and merge the state with the King of Jin, and run alone to peep at the prince's concubine bathing?" Su Wei saw that Zhang Xutuo was still a single person who was not soaked in oil and salt in front of him, and he was angry in his heart, and asked him unceremoniously.

"Who said I specifically ran to peek at her?" Zhang Xutuo was originally a red-faced man, and he was annoyed and angry by Su Weina's words, and argued urgently. "I was originally ordered by the King of Jin to go to Wanshanni Temple on business, and I didn't want to be framed by traitors."

"Wanshanni Temple? Why did the king of Jin send you a man to the women's temple on business, say quickly. Su Wei's eyes rolled twice in his sockets, and he asked sharply.

"You go and ask His Royal Highness King Jin face to face!" Zhang Xutuo did not show weakness, his eyebrows straightened, and he pushed Su Wei's words back.

"You don't have to be so arrogant, I asked King Jin in the future, if it wasn't for what you said, I would like you to look good then! If you say that someone has framed you, then I ask you, who is the man who framed you, and why did he frame you? Su Wei pretended to threaten Zhang Xutuo and asked him again.

"The person who framed me is the favorite of the deacon of the temple of Wanshanni. Why did she frame me, I will only say it in front of the king of my family. Zhang Xutuo replied with his head held high.

Because there are hundreds of former court concubines and wives in the temple, Wanshanni Temple has always been a temple that has always been highly concerned by the ministers of the DPRK and China, including Su Wei. Moreover, Su Wei, as Jing Zhaoyin, who is responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, also has a clear understanding of the details of the three leading monks and nuns in Wanshanni Temple. Hearing Zhang Xutuo's blatant allegation that the person who laid the trap to frame him was actually his favorite teacher, Su Wei was shocked, and he couldn't help but start to believe Zhang Xutuo's words a little.

In the eyes of those in the know, the three leading monks and nuns of Wanshanni Temple belong to three different factions: the abbot Xinyan was personally sent by the queen Dugu Jialuo to supervise those noble ladies of the previous dynasty, while the deacon of the Ming Jingtang was the representative of the noble ladies of the former dynasty who were ordained and practiced in the temple, and the deacon of Zhike Xinyi was originally a deacon nun in the Donggongjia Temple of the crown prince Yang Yong, and Su Wei did not know very well why Yang Yong sent her to Wanshanni Temple as a deacon of Zhike.

"According to what you say, you are responsible for the secret errand that the King of Jin personally confessed. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the King of Jin is thousands of miles away in Bingzhou, and I can't confirm it with him, what you just said is true. Su Wei deliberately provoked Suda to tell more of the truth, and said to him with a mocking tone.

"Hmph, there's one thing, I don't hurt to tell you now." Zhang Xutuo was really fooled, and said angrily, "I have preliminarily ascertained that my favorite ** Shang Pang Xun colluded with each other to embezzle the incense money in the temple, and her accomplices are likely to be in the East Palace......"

"Nonsense! Whoever comes, take this guy down, put him in solitary confinement, and dispose of it later. Su Wei didn't wait for Zhang Xutuo to finish speaking, he stopped him loudly, and ordered the officials to take him down to prison.

After Zhang Xutuo left, Su Wei paced back and forth in the back hall of the government office alone, thinking about how he should deal with this very difficult case next: if what Zhang Xutuo said was true, then he could preliminarily determine that Zhang Xutuo was led into a trap by Xinyi and her accomplices in the East Palace because he found something he should not investigate. And what is the most troublesome thing for him at present is that his favorite accomplices in the East Palace are by no means ordinary people, they can actually play the banner of the prince's concubine Yun Zhaoxun to force themselves to deal with Zhang Xutuo strictly, in order to achieve their ulterior motives, which does not mean to drag themselves into the water.

After pondering for a long time until the early morning of the next day, Su Wei made up his mind, walked quickly to the case, and wrote a letter to Yang Guang, who was far away in Bingzhou.

In this way, early the next morning, before Li Hun arrived in Chang'an with Yang Guang's invitation to transfer back to Beijing, the messenger sent by Su Wei to Bingzhou had already galloped towards Bingzhou on a fast horse.
