The next day, Li Hong arrived at Dali Temple early in the morning, but he didn't expect that when he came, the hall was already full of bigwigs.

Zhang Wenjun, as the secretary of Dali Temple, was naturally about to arrive, but Liu Renliang and Xu Jingzong were also present, which made Li Hong wonder if he had come to the wrong place and walked to the political hall.

What's even more outrageous is that Li Ji, an old guy, is here, does this matter have anything to do with him?

"Attend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Li Hong came, everyone naturally didn't dare to sit anymore, and got up to salute Li Hong.

"Today's Dali Temple is lively, why even Xu Xiang was alarmed, and it was rude to let you wait alone!"

Shi Shiran sat down, Li Hong excused everyone's courtesy, and said to Xu Jingzong with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness, yesterday Gonggong Wu sent the queen's decree, saying that the assassination of His Royal Highness is a matter of great importance, and it involves the imperial family, so Niangniang ordered the old minister to try the case together with Lord Zhang of Dali Temple, and Lord Cheng Zhou in the imperial history, and the trial was supervised by His Royal Highness, British Duke and Liu Xiang together, it was late yesterday, and he did not have time to inform His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive His Royal Highness."

Xu Jingzong still looked lazy, stroking his fat belly, squinting his little eyes and saying with a smile.

Li Hong's heart was cold, he understood that the Empress Wu had finally made a move!

Only then did he notice that Xu Jingzong and Zhang Wenqian were sitting side by side today, and there was still a middle-aged man on the right side of Zhang Wenjun, who must have been Zhou Yunyuan in the imperial history that Xu Jingzong said.

Zhang Wenqian is the secretary of Dali Temple, Xu Jingzong is a servant, and then he is a royal historian Zhou Yunyuan, isn't this the rhythm of the triage of the three divisions?

Li Hong was still strange yesterday, such a big thing happened in Pingkangfang, and the Empress Wu was indifferent, only Li Zhi sent a sternly worded private letter, which was not normal.

I didn't expect Empress Wu to act so quickly, and he directly arranged the triage of the three divisions, remembering the sentence that Wu Liangfu advised when he left yesterday, in fact, it may not be what Li Zhi meant, it is more likely that Empress Wu is warning him!

But doesn't Empress Wu know that the bigger the trouble, the more unfavorable it will be for her? At that time, if it is revealed that Helan Minzhi is the mastermind behind the scenes, even if the Empress Wu wants to protect him, she will also have to weigh the criticism of the government and the opposition.

What's more, this matter has nothing to do with Li Ji, why did you ask him to supervise the trial together?

Li Hong suppressed the doubts in his heart and said.

"Xu Xiang is polite, since it is the meaning of the queen mother, he should obey it alone."

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also arrived, let's get started!"

Zhang Wenjun coughed lightly and said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just half a month ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to Beijing ahead of schedule on the orders of His Majesty's mother, but was assassinated in Chengtianmen, such a lawless act made His Majesty angry, and ordered Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly.

Although it is a triage of three divisions, it is actually mainly based on Dali Temple, and after Zhang Wenjun briefly introduced the case, he said.

"The assassin was captured that night and then poisoned to death, leaving the token of Yongwangfu in the relics, and Yichen had to take the liberty to ask His Royal Highness Yongwang to explain the matter!"

Li Hong's face couldn't show joy or anger, but he didn't have the heart to listen to Zhang Wenjun's trial, because Li Hong knew that this matter probably didn't have much to do with Li Xian, even if he was summoned over, it was just a formality, and the highlight of today was not here.

At this moment, he was thinking about the intentions of the Empress Wu in his heart.

Li Xian was already waiting under the lobby, but after coming up, he was calm, and said to Zhang Wenqian what he said to Li Hong in Pingkangfang that day.

It's nothing more than that the guard in his mansion had disappeared a month ago, and the guard's token was also missing.

"Lord Zhang, this king and the prince's brother have always had a deep brotherhood, and they will never do such a rebellious act, I hope that the three adults will see it and give the king justice."

With a little grievance, Li Xian finished talking about what happened, and finally didn't forget to swear and say.

"His Royal Highness King Yong sits down for a while, and the ministers should find out the truth!"

Zhang Wenqian invited Li Xian to sit aside, and planned to summon several men and shopkeepers from Pingkangfang to the court, after all, they were the ones who identified the guards who intercepted and killed the Yongwang Mansion outside the city.

Unexpectedly, Liu Renliang on the side suddenly spoke.

"Master Zhang, since those thieves have confessed, there is no need to summon them again, I can wait to see their confessions!"

Li Hong frowned, what does this old thing want to do? He always felt that today's trial would not go smoothly, but no matter what he wanted to do, it would not be a good thing anyway, Li Hongzheng was about to speak, but he saw Zhou Yunyuan in the imperial history said slowly.

"What Liu Xiang said is reasonable, what do Xu Xiang and Master Zhang think?"

Xu Jingzong still looked smiling, stroking his big belly and said.

"It's always good to save yourself some trouble."

Li Hong silently swallowed back the words that had been said to his lips, although Liu Renliang was a supervisor and judge, and it was a little inappropriate to say these words, but since the two chief judges had agreed, he would not be able to say anything more.

However, I haven't heard that this Zhou Yunyuan has always maintained neutrality in the DPRK and China, and rarely gets involved in any struggles, and I haven't heard that he has anything to do with Liu Renliang, so why did he suddenly start supporting Liu Renliang's proposal today.

"Okay, then invite Zhou Guogong to the court!"

Zhang Wenqian also felt that today's things were not quite right, but after all, today was a triage of the three divisions, although it was mainly based on Dali Temple, but he couldn't completely ignore the opinions of the other two.

Although several days have passed, Helan Minzhi's handsome face still hasn't completely swelled, with a faint red palm print, as soon as he enters the lobby, he stares at Li Hong with vicious eyes, as if he wants to swallow him.

"Zhou Guogong, that day in Pingkangfang, did you ever say that the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the imperial city was instigated by you?"

Zhang Wenqian asked directly as soon as he came up.

"My father-in-law said it, but it was Li Hong's slut who tortured him to extract a confession! Forced to be recognized by the country! ”

He Lanmin looked at Li Hong with a smug face, and said with a dry mouth.

"Jiu Ge, palm mouth!"

Li Hong didn't expect Helan Minzhi to dare to be so arrogant until now, that day in Pingkangfang, it was obviously he who admitted it, how could he torture to extract a confession!

At that moment, his face was slightly gloomy, and he commanded Jiu Ge in a cold voice.

"Smack!"

Before everyone could react, Jiu Ge had already arrived in front of Helan Minzhi, stretched out his white and tender little hand, and slapped Helan Minzhi's newly swollen face.

"Little slut, you dare!"

"Smack!"

The little girl of Jiuge was not polite, and she slapped her backhand again, and at this moment, Helan Minzhi's face that had just been swollen turned into a pig's head again, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, just looked at Li Hong with a vicious face.

Glancing at Helan Minzhi, Li Hong sneered in his heart.

This kid really thinks that in front of so many people, he won't dare to help him?
