Qiu Junhui shouted loudly: "Lang Wuxuan, you are so bold, this is the lobby of the Criminal Department, as an official of the imperial court, in front of the prison and auxiliary countries, you are so presumptuous, do you want to rebel?" Hold out your hand and "bring the evidence!" ”

At this time, an errand had already taken the yellow silk from Xiao Yanqiu's hands and presented it to Qiu Junxi, who was about to open it, but immediately stopped, got down from above, walked to the prince's side, and offered the yellow silk with both hands.

The prince was calm, holding the yellow silk with one hand, and slowly opened it, and soon everyone around the prince saw that among the yellow silk, there was a jade pendant, which was extremely delicate and extraordinary at a glance.

The prince took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and his expression quickly became serious, and he looked up at King Qi, and thoughtfully, he actually covered the yellow silk and said, "This is not a big deal, it is not a evidence!" ”

King Qi had also seen it at this time, and what appeared in the yellow silk was suddenly his own jade pendant.

This jade pendant is extraordinary, it is an authentic royal thing, but whenever the emperor gives birth to a child, he will give many rewards at the first time, and the most important of them is the royal jade pendant.

The people of the Central Plains regard jade as beauty, since ancient times, beautiful jade symbolizes purity, and in the hearts of the people of the Central Plains, jade can ward off evil spirits, it is a superior thing, but all the officials and nobles have a jade in their homes.

There are 24 eunuchs in the palace, each performing its own duties, among which the general supervisor is specially made for the palace to make gold and jade beads and rhino elephant treasure vessels, which are first-class craftsmen, and their production technology also represents the highest level.

When the prince was born, he must prepare a jade pendant, which is exquisitely made and given by the emperor to the newborn prince, and this jade pendant, whether it is the shape and size, or the weight of the style, like other utensils in the palace, must be recorded in the file, in fact, the things produced by the prison are recorded, and the ins and outs are recorded.

King Qi knew very well that the appearance of this jade pendant also represented his complete failure, and he felt cold at this time.

"Prison country, this is evidence." The prince wanted to put away the jade pendant, but Qiu Junhui was bold and immediately stopped him, "Prison country, forgive the presumptuousness of the official, this is a token of the instigator behind the scenes, and it has been presented as a testimony in court, according to the rules of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, it is necessary to further investigate and verify this evidence, don't say that it is a jade pendant, it is a needle, and the ins and outs of it must be investigated." ”

The crown prince frowned and said lightly: "This palace said that this is not evidence ......!" ”

"Prison Country!" Qiu Junhui suddenly knelt on the ground, and raised his hands, "The lower official is in charge of the criminal department, everything must be carried out in accordance with the regulations, and he will never dare to be negligent." The lower official implored the prison to return the evidence! ”

Everyone was a little surprised, secretly thinking that they had clearly taken out the evidence of the instigator behind the scenes, why did they put it away, and said that it was not evidence, but Qiu Junxi was righteous and awe-inspiring, and he seemed to be not afraid of offending the prince, and he wanted to get the evidence to investigate.

The prince frowned, and Qiu Junhui said again: "Jianguo, if after investigation, this jade pendant is not evidence, the lower officials should ask the prison country for guilt, but now the result is not named, this jade pendant is related to the whole case, and it must be investigated!" ”

Lang Wuxu was pressed to the ground and said loudly: "Slander, it's all slander, these actors are talking nonsense, it's all slander...... I don't know them ......! ”

Qiu Junhui was still kneeling on the ground, turned his head, and sneered: "If you don't know them, why do you say that they stole things?" If this jade pendant wasn't stolen from you, why were you so excited that you dared to snatch it in front of you? ”

His two sentences were sonorous and powerful, and no one present doubted it, and they all felt that Lang Wuxuan must know these actors, and the jade pendant must have been stolen from Lang Wuxu by Duan Xiaolou and others.

Lang didn't try to cover it up, but such a clumsy cover-up confirmed that the matter had something to do with him.

The prince hesitated for a moment, saw that Qiu Junxi's eyes were firm, sighed, and handed the yellow silk to Qiu Junxi, Qiu Junhui took it, took it in his hand, looked at it carefully, and immediately said, "This is ...... It's a thing in the palace! ”

The most important thing is that most of the utensils in the palace are engraved with marks, indicating that they are from the general as a supervisor, and every vessel made by the general as a prison will be engraved with a unique mark on it to distinguish the things inside and outside the palace, so as not to confuse outsiders with the fake.

This royal jade pendant naturally leaves the mark of the prison on it, so Qiu Junhui recognized the jade pendant at a glance as the general as a prisoner, and this style of jade pendant can only be owned by the prince.

Duan Xiaolou had already said loudly: "My lord, it is because of this that we believe Lord Lang's words. There are nobles in the palace who give us money to do things, and we ...... Of course we are ordered to do ......! ”

"Slander ......!" Lang Wuxu still shouted: "It's all slander......!" ”

King Qi sat on the chair at this time, his whole body was weak, at this moment, he actually regretted it, not because he wanted to bring down Qiu Junxi, but because he was entrusted to a non-person.

He thought that Lang Wuxu was a shrewd person, and because of this, he handed over the jade pendant to Lang Wuxu to win the trust of the so-called "Chen Guo couple", but he never expected that this jade pendant would fall into the hands of several actors.

He regretted it at this time, thinking that he had recklessly handed over the jade pendant to Lang Wuxu, it was really stupid, and he wanted to slap himself a few ears at this time, and now this jade pendant has become a deadly evidence, and it is easy to find out that the owner of this jade pendant is himself.

At the beginning of Lang Wuxu's entry into the court, King Qi was still hopeful, thinking that Lang Wuxu could speak well, and he might not be able to get rid of the implication, but then he made fatal mistakes in a row, even if King Qi was immature, but he also knew that the general trend of the Dao was gone, and it was impossible for Qiu Junhui to seize such an opportunity.

"Lord Lang, this jade pendant is yours, and you don't have to defend it anymore." Qiu Junhong walked to Lang Wuxu's side and was condescending, "The official asked you, who is the owner of this jade pendant?" If you recruit from the truth, the official may be able to take it lightly. ”

"Qiu Junxi, you are talking nonsense, this jade pendant has nothing to do with me." Lang Wuxu is still stiff-mouthed.

"Torture!" Qiu Junhui snorted coldly and commanded.

Several officials pressed him firmly to the ground, and two messengers with wooden sticks came forward, and without saying a word, they waved and hit, Lang Wuxu screamed a few times, and his mouth was still stiff: "You...... You abuse lynching, Qiu Junxi...... You abuse lynching ......! ”

The prince said lightly: "It was the palace that made him torture!" ”

Lang Wuxu was helpless, more than a dozen sticks were beaten down, King Qi saw that the placket on Lang Wuxu's ass had been torn, this Lang Wuxu was pampered on weekdays, and after a dozen sticks, it was already skin and flesh.

Qiu Junhui sneered: "Lord Lang, you have the ability, even if you survive, the official has patience, even if you don't explain honestly, the official can still find out the origin of this jade pendant from the general supervisor." Of course, if you feel that the cane is not comfortable, the official can change the punishment, which will always make you comfortable. ”

Lang Wuxu's buttocks were already bloodstained, wailing and howling, and King Qi saw it in his eyes, and he was indeed a little unbearable.

Although Lang didn't do an errand, but in the final analysis, he was also doing an errand for himself, and now he gritted his teeth and stood firm, which can be regarded as a bit of backbone, but if he continues to fight like this, he is afraid that he will make trouble.

But the prince was calm, closed his eyes slightly, and did not say a word.

After more than a dozen beatings, Lang Wuxuan was already shouting softly, and finally said, "I said, this jade pendant...... This jade pendant, they did steal it from me. ”

"Then whose jade pendant does it belong to?"

"I stole it from the Auxiliary." Lang Wuxuan's voice was weak, "Qiu Junxi, you framed Zhongliang and killed so many people, everyone wants to kill him quickly, I ...... Naturally, I can't tolerate you, so I came up with this method to pull you down...... I was afraid that I would not be able to trust them, so I ...... So steal the jade pendant on Fuguo's body ......! ”

King Qi changed color slightly.

"Auxiliary country, this is really a thing of auxiliary country?" Qiu Junhui took the jade pendant and turned to look at King Qi.

King Qi looked frightened and said nervously: "I...... I don't know what to do, but ...... It's just my jade pendant...... My jade pendant is indeed missing......! ”

Qiu Junhui nodded and asked Lang Wuxuan: "You said that this was all arranged by you, so don't you know that you have a way to pretend to be Chen Guo and falsely accuse Qiu Fang, and the truth of this matter can be found out soon, don't you think the method is too despicable?" ”

"I was deceived by them, too." Lang Wuxuan said weakly: "These actors pretended to be members of the Chen family and complained to me, I ...... That's when I believed them......! ”

"Lang is not false, you are still lying." Qiu Junhui sneered, "Come on, keep fighting!" ”

"Bang bang bang!"

King Qi saw that Lang Wuxu's whole body was covered with blood, and it looked like he was going to die in a short time, he was nervous in his heart, but seeing that Lang Wuxu was so backbone in order to protect himself, a stream of blood suddenly surged into his heart, and he suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Stop!" ”

The torturer immediately stopped, raised the corners of his eyes and twitched slightly, raised his head, and looked at King Qi.

King Qi clenched his hands into fists, his expression was solemn, he took a deep breath, and finally said: "You don't have to go down to trial, this matter is the king's intention." These scenes really deceived Lang Wuxuan. This king knew that there was such an unjust case, so he handed over the jade pendant to Lang Wuxuan, and let them dare to come to the criminal department to cry out for injustice. He looked at Qiu Junhui coldly, "Qiu Junhui, it was this king who ordered Lang Wuxu to do this, and everything has nothing to do with him." ”

Lang Wuxu raised his head, his eyes were red, and he cried bitterly: "Lord Wang......!" ”

The crown prince stared at King Qi, pondered for a moment, and finally asked: "Today, you asked this palace to come to the Criminal Department to watch the trial, not to investigate Qiu Shangshu's abuse of lynching, but to let this palace see that someone came to sue Qiu Fang?" ”

King Qi's blood surged, thinking that this person should do things alone, and there was nothing to hide until now, so he nodded and said: "Yes, they sued Qiu Fang, Qiu Fang is Qiu Junhui's son, I am worried that Qiu Junhui is bending the law for personal gain, so I ask the prison country to come and supervise with me." ”

"So, you knew in advance that they would come to sue today?" The prince's voice was still very calm: "This palace asked you whether this matter has anything to do with you, and the answer you gave to this palace is no." ”

King Qi did not speak.

The prince glanced at Lang Wuxu, who was covered in blood, and waved his hand: "Put Lang Wuxu in prison." Duan Xiaolou and others falsely accused others and were imprisoned together. ”

The officials didn't say a word, they stepped forward like wolves and tigers, and instantly dragged Lang Wuxu and the others down.

Only then did the crown prince gaze at King Qi again and asked, "You said that they were wronged, but it turned out that they were falsely accusing Qiu Fang...... Regardless of whether you know their plans or not, you are also involved in falsely accusing others, a dignified son, when the law of the country is like a child's play, Yingren, could it be that you don't know the consequences of the way? ”

King Qi opened his mouth, but still didn't speak, he had nothing to say at this time.

"If a prince breaks the law, he will be guilty of the same crime as the common people." The prince said slowly: "Auxiliary country Yingren, loyalty and treachery do not distinguish, right and wrong are not distinguished, with the respect of the prince, instruct others, falsely accuse Qiu Fang, from now on, under house arrest Qi Wangfu, not to intervene in court affairs, everything is waiting for the saint to return to Beijing, and then make a decision." ”
