Although he asked about the Star Picking Building, it didn't help, but it made the case more complicated. Although the cell head case of the Yamen of Shuntianfu was also investigated, it was concluded that the cell head and the seven of them were alone for a while, and no one knew what they said, but the consequences were known, and the seven people were poisoned and died, and the cell head committed suicide. The trail is broken again.

Liu Xuan is still in the prison of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that if there is no strong evidence, Liu Xuan will be released.

Hong Yu had already taken the seized letter code and the background of the seized business to the capital, and Jinyiwei also investigated it thoroughly overnight. But there is still no eyebrow.

On the eighth day of the case, a crowd suddenly gathered at the gate of the Shuntian Mansion, including Guozijian and ordinary people, saying that Zhao Zhiying had caught the murderer by mistake and demanded that Liu Xuan be released as soon as possible. Zhao Zhiying was under more pressure, so he had to report to Zhu Houwei, Zhu Houzhao, saying that he couldn't drag it on, and he had promised to formally try it on the tenth day, that is, the day after tomorrow. If there is still no evidence, the person can only be released.

This case can be said to be the largest case in the capital in decades, and it not only attracted the attention of the people in the capital, but also the ministers of the imperial court. In this case, it is already impossible to falsify evidence by beating it into a trick, and Zhu Houwei does not want to use such means to punish Liu Xuan.

Early in the morning of the tenth day, Zhu Houwei and Zhu Houzhao got up. After putting on the crown clothes, the two first met leisurely, and then prepared to set off for the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to watch the trial this time.

Soon, the two of them took a carriage and came to the Yamen of Shuntianfu under the escort of the guards.

When I got to the door, I saw that there were many people, good fellows, and there were many people, roughly estimated to be three or five hundred. On the other side of the crowd, there were more than a dozen people reading books, discussing something together.

Hundreds of people gathered together, still talking, inevitably a little noisy, everyone paid attention to the Yamen gate that had not yet been opened, and they didn't even see Zhu Houzhao's team coming from afar.

When I got closer, I could hear some people clearly. Some are shouting for Liu Xuan, and some are saying that they came because of the favor of the Liu family, and the people next to them also agreed when they heard it, saying that they were the same, Yunyun. The brows of the two Zhu Houzhao brothers furrowed involuntarily, they didn't expect this Liu family to have such a good reputation. As for those who read, they are a little far away and can't hear clearly.

Someone finally discovered Zhu Houzhao and their team, and watched the two Zhu Houzhao brothers get out of the car in their crown clothes, get out of the way, and kneel down to salute. Zhu Houzhao walked ahead, stretched out his hand slightly, and said, "Get up." The sound was not loud, but everyone at the yamen who had been silent could still hear it clearly, so they quietly let Zhu Houzhao pass through a large distance. At this time, the door of the Shuntianfu Yamen was also opened "by coincidence". Zhu Houzhao and the two brothers strode into it.

After the Zhu Houzhao brothers entered, first the dozen or so scholars followed, and finally the common people followed.

In this era, in order to show that it is fair and honest, the government allows the people to observe. After the people entered the gate, basically everyone was a little trembling, and they didn't say anything, which was diametrically opposed to the vegetable market at the gate just now.

This time, the trial case was placed in the lobby of the front yard, and when the Zhu Houwei brothers walked in, they saw Zhao Zhiying and other people who were already waiting there. Zhu Houzhao spoke first, "Zhao Fuyin, today's case must be investigated clearly, don't wronged the good guys, and don't miss the bad guys." Zhao Zhiying hurriedly said yes. At Zhu Houzhao's suggestion, Zhao Zhiying took the lead in the public court and sat in his place.

There are chairs on both sides of the lobby, which are for Zhu Houzhao's brothers to sit on, but not two, there is a third one, which is opposite Zhu Houwei. This led the brothers to speculate about who else was coming today.

As for the people who came to watch and those who read, they stood at the door of the court, and no one was allowed to come in. After a while, the crowd dispersed on both sides, and from time to time someone knelt on the ground and saluted, and said "Meet Lord Liu." Then a deep and gentle man's voice sounded, "Thank you, I have a heart." ”

"It's him." Zhu Houzhao showed a look of surprise, but it disappeared in a flash. Zhu Houwei hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" At this time, I had already seen a man in his early fifties, with slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but his hair was still black, wearing a bright red official robe, a black gauze hat on his head, and looking at Da Yuan, who was in the third grade. With sharp edges and corners, bright eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a long beard that is neatly groomed, he is definitely a handsome uncle. The smile is warm and warm, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhu Houzhao retracted his gaze, and said lightly, "The waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Chengwen." Zhu Houwei's eyes flashed, "Surname Liu?" Zhu Houzhao nodded solemnly.

Liu Chengwen entered the court, and first saluted Zhu Houzhao's brothers, "Weichen Liu Chengwen, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness King Fu." "The two brothers Zhu Houzhao can wear such a crown dress in the capital, Zhu Houzhao has seen him, and the other can't be wrong.

Zhu Houzhao had a calm face, "Liu Shilang has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to watch the trial?" Liu Chengwen said abruptly, "It's a shame to say that Liu Xuan, who is going to be tried today, is the nephew of Weichen's relatives. This case is too involved, and Weichen has to come, hoping that he has not done anything ashamed of the court. Zhu Houzhao nodded, and did not speak.

Liu Chengwen turned around and smiled at Zhao Zhiying, and Zhao Zhiying said calmly, "Lord Liu, please sit down." Liu Chengwen nodded and sat down.

"Ascend to the court, take someone to commit a crime." "Might~~" The people outside the hall knelt on the ground, and only a dozen scholars were still standing. Zhu Houwei looked at such a scene and sighed slightly. Zhu Houzhao asked, "What's wrong?" "Some people are standing, some are kneeling, and they look uncomfortable." Zhu Houzhao asked in a low voice, "Do you want to kneel?" Zhu Houwei said with a serious expression: "You have to stand." Zhu Houzhao shook his head slightly.

After a while, Liu Xuan was brought up. Seeing that the others just bowed, he then walked to Liu Chengwen and knelt down and said, "Nephew Liu Xuan, meet my uncle." Liu Chengwen shouted solemnly and asked, "Did you participate in this case of rebellion?" Liu Xuan's expression was sad, and his eyes were even red, tears flowed out, and he said desolately, "How can my nephew be like this, please ask my uncle to find out." If the uncle does not believe, the nephew is willing to die to prove his innocence. Liu Chengwen snorted coldly, "Today is not for me to believe, but to let the people of the Ming Dynasty believe, let Zhao Mansion Yin believe, and let the two highnesses believe." Zhao Fuyin must answer truthfully if he asks anything, and he must not hide the slightest, did he hear it. Liu Xuan put his head on the ground and replied, "Yes." "Alright, get up."

Liu Xuan wiped his tears again and again, and got up. Seeing this handsome and handsome guy crying so sadly, the people outside the hall couldn't help but show sympathy.

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?" Zhu Houwei sneered slightly, "It's the same as the truth." ”

Zhao Zhiying pursed her lips and asked indifferently, "Liu Xuan, this official asked you." Where were you at the time of the crime in the capital? Liu Xuan replied, "Back to my lord, the student is in the house of my father's friend." ”

"The person who came to call the door has already identified himself, why didn't he open the door?" "Back to adults, the students have never seen such military uniforms, and they didn't play the flag that day, so the students thought that someone was impersonating, so they didn't open the door."

"Then the decree was read, why is it still not opened?" "At that time, the students meant that they were doing evil, so they hid in the secret room and didn't know what was going on outside."

"Have you ever heard of Maude Restaurant?" "The student's third uncle also does some business, so he has met a few times."

Zhao Zhiying gestured to the master, and then the master took out a tray with basic brochures and letters. "This is a letter found in the Maode Restaurant, and it is written in the letter to organize people to go north to do things, do you know what they are doing. You can recognize the recipient of the pavilion. ”

"My lord, the students don't know."

"Okay, this official asks you again, the son of Luo Qing in the capital and the master and apprentice of Wang Yi of Cangzhou fled south, do you know?" "My lord, the student doesn't know." "Do you know Yan Li, Qin Xiao, Li Dazhuang, Yu Qi, Zhi Guang, and Yang Sanliu?" "Back to my lord, the first three are the students' families, and the last three are not very familiar, but they should be the Liufu families."

"Why did these six people go all the way to hunt down Wang Yi and others." When Liu Xuan arrived here, he paused, thought for a while, and then said, "Maybe there is a personal grudge between them." ”

Zhu Houwei and Zhu Houzhao are in a good position, and when they look over, they can see both Liu Xuan and Liu Chengwen. Liu Xuan was only a little suspicious in this question, but it was also reasonable. However, Liu Chengwen has been very calm in front, but when he arrived here, he gritted his teeth, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

"August 20, have you ever been to Shuangping Village in the northern suburbs of Beijing?" Liu Xuan nodded, "I've been." "Then do you know a woman named Dong Yuxiang?" "I don't know. Since the student borrowed Liu's Mansion, he hadn't seen any other woman except the maid in the mansion. "Then you haven't seen Dong Yuxiang's husband Luo Qing yet?"

Liu Xuan was still very calm: "The student really doesn't know. Zhao Zhiying sneered: "Luo Qing's ** in the backyard of Liu's mansion has been dug up." You don't even know? ”

Liu Xuan looked at Zhao Zhiying calmly: "Maybe the student was already asleep at that time. The side house is a little far from the backyard and the front yard, so I don't know much. "If there was a murder, even if you didn't know it that day, you wouldn't know it the next day?"

Liu Xuan nodded slightly, "At that time, Liu Mansion was the housekeeper Liu Quanyou was in charge, and the students really didn't know." ”

Zhao Zhiying stared at Liu Xuan coldly, "From Liu Quanyou to the family just mentioned, they are all dead now." Do you mean that everything is about them, not about you? ”

Liu Xuan nodded seriously: "That's true." There is a woman in Shuangping Village who committed suicide, and in Liu's Mansion near the left, the students also heard about it. However, that Luo Dongshi is about thirty years old and has a son. The student already has a wife in Hangzhou, is from a scholarly family, dignified and virtuous, how can this Luo Dong have anything to do with the student. ”

Speaking of this, the people at the door also whispered. Like Liu Xuan, who was born in a wealthy family, is also famous, and has outstanding appearance, how could he have a connection with a half-old, what he said should be true, it should be done by someone from Liu Mansion.

Zhao Zhiying was also dumbfounded, and was speaking, when suddenly a man ran from outside the door, holding a burden tightly, and was asking the people at the door to let go, and he was still shouting loudly, "My lord, the grass people have evidence." The people at the gate immediately made way for the man to enter. However, when the outline stepped into the court, he was stopped by two public officials, after all, it was a trial case, and not anyone who wanted to break in could break in.

However, this man attracted everyone's attention, but there were two people who reacted more interestingly, and Yoo Seungwen's lips opened slightly, looking surprised. Liu Xuan lost his sense of proportion for the first time, his face turned pale, and he asked in surprise, "You're not dead?" When the man heard this, he stared at Liu Xuan fiercely with monstrous anger in his eyes, and said hoarsely word by word in his mouth: "You haven't been able to do it yet, how can I die?" ”
