(

"Master, are you really going to carry An Yihou?" Early the next morning, Li Yuntian put on his official robe and hat, and went to Shuntian Mansion to supervise Liu Wenqing's case, and when he walked to the door of the bedroom, Zhou Yuting, who was following behind, hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively. The update is the fastest and most stable

The reason why she asked this question was not that she didn't think that Li Yuntian should provoke An Yihou for the sake of two women she didn't know, she had been jealous and hateful since she was a child, and she naturally knew that Gu Xi would die innocently.

It's just that Zhou Zheng and Gu Dayong are both Jing Nan and noble, and they have a good relationship with each other, and the Zhou family and the Gu family also come and go from time to time, and after Li Yuntian intervened in Liu Wenqing's affairs, the two families have become enemies since then.

In addition to being jealous and hateful, Zhou Yuting also attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and always vaguely feels that she can't stand the Gu family, after all, Gu Xi is already dead, and Li Yuntian's investigation of this case is undoubtedly equivalent to revealing the scars of the Gu family, and the Gu family will be disgraced at that time.

"Lady, it's not for the husband to carry An Yihou, it's An Yihou to carry the laws of the Ming Dynasty, obviously the little marquis is wrong, they still want to put the pair of masters and servants to death, for the husband as the Ming imperial history, how can they turn a blind eye?"

Li Yuntian naturally knew Zhou Yuting's thoughts, so he turned around and kissed her on the forehead, and comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, you have your own sense of proportion for your husband." ”

As he spoke, Li Yuntian strode away, and Zhou Yuting looked at his back and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhou Yuting's mother came to the Li Mansion and asked Zhou Yuting to persuade Li Yuntian not to get involved in the affairs of Gu Xi, no matter how to say that Liu Wenqing is just an outsider who is not worth mentioning, and she can't help but hurt the harmony with An Yi Houfu for Liu Wenqing.

Although Zhou Yuting agreed to her mother on the surface, she never told Li Yuntian about it, because she didn't know how to open this mouth to Li Yuntian, so she didn't talk about "sex", it seems that this time she will be nagged by her mother endlessly.

When Li Yuntian arrived at Shuntian Mansion, the officials sent by the Three Law Divisions had already arrived.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate came to Li Yuntian's old acquaintance, his friend Xie Heng, the superintendent of Zhejiang Province; Dali Temple is the left temple is Niu Yicheng, is six products; The criminal department came to An Botai, the director of the Shandong Qing Officials Division, who is also the sixth product.

The three of them were sitting in the back hall of Shuntian Mansion chatting, and when they saw Li Yuntian coming, they got up to greet each other and warmly beckoned Li Yuntian to sit down.

To tell the truth, although there are many officials in the capital, there are very few who dare to "meddle" in this matter for Liu Wenqing, after all, Gu Xi is already dead no matter how hateful he is, no one is stupid, how can he touch the mildew of An Yihou for the sake of a flat-headed person like Liu Wenqing?

But Li Yuntian did this, and did not retreat because of An Yihou's noble status, which made Niu Yicheng and An Botai look at him with admiration, and once upon a time, the two of them also thought that he was a despicable villain who only knew how to please the emperor because of Li Qingzheng's affairs.

"Master Hou!" Just when the four of them were greeting each other, a group of people walked in, Li Yuntian hurriedly got up, bowed his hand to a stout middle-aged man in the lead, and said in a deep voice.

This stout middle-aged man is An Yihou Gu Dayong, who came to sit in town this time, he glanced at Li Yuntian coldly, snorted coldly, and then led the person to the seat on the side.

Looking at those who were wearing military attache robes behind Gu Dayong, Li Yuntian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

He had already recognized that these people were from the other five governors in addition to the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, and they either represented the left governor of the five governors' mansions, or the right governor who represented the five governors' mansions, all of whom were nobles who were very close to Gu Dayong.

It seems that Gu Dayong could not trust the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department and the Dali Temple, so he wanted to use the governors of the Five Armies to exert pressure on the Shuntian Mansion.

"Resurrection, the one who came is not good!" Xie Heng glanced at Gu Dayong and the others, and said to Li Yuntian in a low voice.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth!" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and replied in a low voice, this is the Shuntian Mansion, not the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and if you want to provide evidence to judge the case, it is not possible to win the lawsuit with a large number of people.

Knowing that Li Yuntian, Gu Dayong and others had arrived, Du Yuncheng then led Wang Hao over, and after a few words of greeting with both parties, he went to the lobby of Shuntianfu in the front yard.

Because of Liu Wenqing's case, Du Yuncheng chose to try it behind closed doors, so the courtyard in front of the lobby was empty.

Li Yuntian, the officials of the Three Law Division, Wang Hao, Lu Tongju and other officials of the Shuntian Mansion sat on the chairs on the left side of the lobby, and Gu Dayong and others sat on the chairs on the right side of the lobby, all with stern expressions, which made the atmosphere in the lobby look dull and depressing. [27515671 ruling the Ming Dynasty ruling the Ming Dynasty] 275 ruling the Ming Dynasty 277

"Does Master Hou have anything to explain?" After sitting down at the desk, Du Yuncheng arched his hand at Gu Dayong and asked quietly.

Because Gu Xizhi is involved, the only person in the entire Shuntian Mansion who can handle this case is Du Yuncheng, the Fu Yin, who can't hide if he wants to.

Among the people present, Gu Dayong's identity was the most noble, and he was also the only one whose status in the officialdom was higher than Du Yuncheng's, so Du Yuncheng naturally wanted to be polite first.

"Ben Hou hopes that Lord Du will handle it impartially and give the dog justice." Gu Dayong arched his hand to Du Yuncheng and replied in a deep voice.

"Master Hou rest assured, the lower officials will definitely try this case clearly." Du Yuncheng has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is sophisticated, how can he easily say whether Gu Xi is guilty or not, so he methodically avoided this topic, and then patted the shocked wood and shouted, "Come on, pass on the bitterness to the court!" ”

"Big lord, my little marquis was killed by a 'rapist' person, please let my little marquis be the master!" Under the gaze of everyone, a middle-aged man with a mustache at the corner of his mouth was brought into the lobby by a servant, knelt in front of the hall, and shouted at Du Yuncheng with both hands holding a figure.

Since Gu Xi was killed, Gu Xi's family is naturally the plaintiff in this lawsuit, this middle-aged man with a mustache is the second housekeeper of Hou Yefu, and he came to sue on behalf of Hou Yefu this time.

A clerk in the lobby took the case and handed it to Du Yuncheng, Du Yuncheng opened it and took a look, accusing Liu Wenqing of greedy for glory and wealth, trying to get Gu Xi to accept her as a concubine to enter the Hou Ye's mansion, but the result was "forced" to marry and failed, and he committed murder in anger of shame.

After reading the complaint, Du Yuncheng asked people to read the contents of the petition to the officials of the jury, which made the scene suddenly "commotion", if Liu Wenqing was really as vicious as Zhuangzi said, then it was enough to sentence Ling Chi.

Li Yuntian sat there silently, he had served as the magistrate, so he naturally knew that the content of the statement was just the words of a family, with a strong subjective feeling, and it could not be taken seriously until there was no relevant human and physical evidence to corroborate it.

"Bring a witness!" After the ribbon was read, Du Yuncheng slapped the wood in surprise and shouted in a deep voice.

In the "mighty" sound of the officials standing on both sides of the hall, Gu Xi's two followers were escorted up, kneeling in front of the hall in a panic, and after seeing Gu Dayong, he was so frightened that he shivered, and hurriedly lowered his head, his body kept trembling, the two of them have been in the Hou Ye's mansion for many years, and naturally know that Gu Dayong's methods can make the two of them worse than death.

"This official asks you, why did you go to Liu's house? Why would the Liu family kill someone? Du Yuncheng glanced at the two of them and asked loudly.

"Enlightenment...... Lord Qiyu, because the Liu family invited my second son to his home to enjoy the paintings, so my son went to the Liu family. ”

The big man with the face of the Chinese character kneeling there raised his head at this time, stabilized his mind, and said to Du Yuncheng with a pale face, "Because the little ones were outside the house at the time of the incident, I don't know what happened inside, but I heard that my second son-in-law had a quarrel with the Liu family, and the Liu family 'forced' my second son-in-law to accept her as a concubine. ”

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Du Yuncheng's eyes fell on the other big man who was kneeling beside him.

"Yes, yes, the Liu family deliberately seduced my second son by relying on his own appearance, the purpose is to enter the Hou Mansion and want to fly on the branches to become a phoenix." The big man nodded busily.

"You said that the Liu family asked your second son to enjoy the painting, is there any evidence?" Seeing this, Du Yuncheng asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, the little one has seen the painting that was taken into the bedroom by the Liu family, and it is a painting of flowers, which seems to be very precious." The Chinese-faced man replied without thinking, "As long as the adults send someone to search Liu's bedroom, they will definitely be able to find that painting." ”

"Lord Qiqi, according to the confessions of the two, yesterday afternoon, the official of the government had found the painting from the cabinet in Liu's bedroom." Hearing this, Du Yuncheng looked at Lu Tongju, who was sitting at the end of the seat on the left side of the lobby, and Lu Tongju immediately got up, arched his hand at him, and said in a deep voice, "Xia Guan has already let people identify it, it is the "Hundred Flowers for Spring" by Wu Daozi, a master of calligraphy and painting in the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hearing the words "Wu Daozi", many officials present here were surprised by their faces, although they had not seen the "Hundred Flowers Fighting for Spring", but Wu Daozi was a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, and was respected as a "painting saint" by later generations, and won the love and respect of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and the authentic works that have been handed down are of great value.

Lu Tongju waved his hand, and the two officials picked up a painting scroll wrapped in red thread and unfolded it on the table in front of Du Yuncheng.

"Good painting!" After Du Yuncheng's eyes touched the picture, he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, he also likes to collect calligraphy and paintings, so he naturally knows the preciousness of this painting at a glance.

Subsequently, Du Yuncheng asked Li Yuntian, Gu Dayong and others to come forward to appreciate the painting in turn, which is an important evidence that needs to be presented to the jury officials.

Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, if Liu Wenqing had such a precious painting, how could she buy such a shabby mansion? This painting was planted by the people of the Hou Yefu to Liu Wenqing, in order to convict him of the crime of ** Gu Xi.

However, Li Yuntian did not question this, but returned to his seat quietly, he wanted to see what hole cards the people in the Hou Ye Mansion had.

Gu Dayong glanced at Li Yuntian, and saw that Li Yuntian didn't ask the meaning of the two entourages in the slightest, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, could it be that Li Yuntian had already given up on Liu Wenqing?

Yesterday afternoon, the Zhang family went to the Zhongguo Mansion to see Li Yuntian's mother-in-law, which made Li Yuntian's mother-in-law go to Zhou Yuting later, and it is logical that Li Yuntian will no longer intervene in this matter under pressure from his family.

Thinking of this, Gu Dayong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Li Yuntian is also quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and he is not the kind of stunned young man who is strong-blooded, and he actually came to provoke the Hou Yefu for the daughter of a lowly commoner, which is really unwise
