There are more than 200 rooms in the leopard room, and the functions of the rooms are inconsistent, some are used to raise fierce birds and beasts, some are used to store rare treasures, and some are used to live and protect beauties. But this is all on the surface, and there is a row of houses in the leopard house, and no one wants to mention the function there.

As the name suggests, this house is called the "Torture Room", which is a room specially used to train people in execution skills, and if anyone enters this place, he will regret being in this world.

Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao were together, and while walking to the criminal room, Jiang Xia asked Zhu Houzhao: "How is it?" Did he recruit it? ”

"Recruited. Said that a benefactor in the past made him do this. Zhu Houzhao said.

While speaking, the two had already walked to the door of the torture room. The two leopard guards guarding the torture room knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and saluted, shouting long live. Zhu Houzhao said: "Let's be polite." ”

Then he took Jiang Xia into the torture room.

In the criminal room, Jiang Xia met Wang Baosheng.

Seeing Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao appear together, Wang Baosheng said excitedly: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life." The sinners have been recruited, and the sinners have recruited everything. When the criminal went to Beijing to take the exam, he was destitute and almost slept on the streets. It was a man who gave money to receive money, and then after the criminal entered the officialdom, he also got his letter to mention it, and the criminal was able to come to this day step by step and become a Zhengwupin Zhizhong.

This time, the benefactor appeared and asked me to do something for him, and the criminal couldn't refuse, so he helped him. The criminal minister didn't know the identity of the benefactor, and asked the emperor to forgive the sin. “

"It's impossible to spare your dog's life, but if you are willing to tell the truth at tomorrow's public trial, I can promise you that I will not harm your family, and second, I will give you a happy conclusion." Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao say this, Wang Baosheng only thought about it for a moment and then nodded: "The criminal obeys the order, and the criminal will definitely tell the truth in the court tomorrow." “

Zhu Hou glanced at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia nodded slightly. Zhu Houzhao said to a gloomy and emaciated man in the torture room: "Don't torture him anymore, take him to freshen up and give him something to eat." “

"Yes." The man answered.

Then Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao walked out of the criminal technology room together, as long as there is a psychologically normal person in such a place, they will definitely not like to stay longer.

After walking out of the criminal room, Zhu Houzhao asked Jiang Xia: "How?" Are you sure of tomorrow's public trial? ”

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "Until the last moment, no one can determine whether they win or lose. But in the current situation, I can only say that we have a chance to win. ”

"Don't worry, if you lose, I'll keep you safe." Zhu Houzhao said. This was already the third time he had assured Jiang Xia of this.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao and smiled slightly, he pressed Zhu Houzhao's shoulder and said, "Second brother, you are the emperor." It's not very emotional to be so emotional. ”

Zhu Houzhao also smiled, and he said nonchalantly: "Although I am the emperor, I am also a person. As long as it is human, it must have feelings. I'm just going to be emotionally attached to you. ”

Jiang Xia's eyes widened, and his face suddenly showed a look of horror, he protected his chest with both hands and said, "Second brother, I like women, I don't like men." Even if you are infatuated with me, I will not obey you. ”

"Get out! I like women too. Zhu Houzhao said angrily.

This side of the Cloud Pavilion Inn.

Tomorrow is the time to see the outcome of the game, and Zhu Youqi has basically gained the upper hand from the beginning of this game to the present. If nothing else, tomorrow may be Jiang Xia's death.

Fu Bo suddenly pushed open the door of Zhu Youqi's inn, and immediately said after entering the house: "Wang Baosheng is missing." ”

Zhu Youqi nodded, without any surprised expression. He said: "It's expected, but even if Zhu Houzhao arrests Wang Baosheng, it's useless." The people would not believe Wang Baosheng's testimony, and his appearance to tell the truth would only make the people guess that Zhu Houzhao had done whatever it took to save Jiangxia, and he actually oppressed Wang Baosheng with imperial power. ”

"The prince had long expected that Zhu Houzhao would arrest Wang Baosheng, did you deliberately let him arrest Wang Baosheng?" Fauber figured it all out at once.

Zhu Youqi smiled slightly and said, "To do great things, sometimes there must be necessary sacrifices. In the seventh year of Hongzhi, we began to implement the 'seed plan', and in the eleventh year of Hongzhi, we began to train Wang Baosheng. Although he was a first-class jinshi in the imperial examination back then, if there was no training from us, he would have been able to be called the Zhizhong of the Shuntian Mansion before the age of fifty? We have given him so many years of glory and wealth, and now it is time for him to repay the favor. ”

Fauber nodded, but did not speak. In fact, he is also Zhu Youqing's subordinate, and now seeing Zhu Youqing give up Wang Baosheng so simply, he can't help but feel sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

However, this feeling is only fleeting, as a minion, Fuber definitely has the consciousness of being a minion.

Zhu Youqi seemed to see through what Fu Bo was thinking, he patted Fu Bo's shoulder and said, "Fu Bo, don't worry, you and Xiao Wu are different from those 'seeds' in my heart. Those 'seeds' are just tools, and you are the ones I trust close to. “

As soon as Zhu Youqi said this, Fu Bo, who had just felt a little strange in his heart, immediately felt warm in his heart, and he bowed down and said: "The slave maid can serve the prince to death, which is also the blessing of the slave maid." “

Zhu Youqi patted Fu Bo's shoulder again, took a deep breath and said, "Go out and keep staring, see what other means they will use." Anyway, now that Li Yun is dead, I don't expect them to use any means that can defy the sky. ”

Next. Han Mufeng, Zhong Bin, and Li Jueqing escorted Jiang Xia to Dali Temple together, Cui Rushuang and Cui Niannu did not go to the trial, they originally wanted to go, but Jiang Xia stopped it. Since the opponent was able to kill Huang Xiaobi with a hidden weapon, his martial arts were naturally not low, and Jiang Xia was afraid that the two of them would be in danger.

The Dali Temple of Dali Temple in the Ming Dynasty is like the Supreme People's Court today. Among the three divisions, the Criminal Department is in charge of the prison, the Dali Temple is in charge of the criminal law, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising to prevent unjust and wrongful cases.

Jiangxia entered the back hall of Dali Temple from the partial hall, and the criminal department Shangshu and Dali Temple Qing Jiangxia were not familiar, but Xia Yuanming, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, had a relationship with Jiangxia.

After Jiang Xia entered the back hall, Xia Yuanming came over directly and greeted Jiang Xia: "Jiang Xian's nephew." “

"Lord Xia." Jiang Xia nodded.

Xia Yuanming pointed to a person sitting in one of the seats in the back hall: "The old man and the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lord Zhuo Feizhuo, participated in the trial of the three divisions, and we are responsible for correcting the error. So don't worry about the virtuous nephew for a while, just speak the truth. “

Xia Yuanming's "don't worry" actually means something, which means that no one will punish him. However, there is a trial by the emperor today, and I believe that no one dares to punish Jiang Xia. Xia Yuanming said this in fact, he was showing favor to Jiang Xia, Jiang Xia naturally continued, and immediately bowed down and said, "Then Lord Lao Xia will take care of it." “

After speaking, a man in the back hall wearing a crimson round-necked robe with a golden rooster got up and said, "The time has come, let's ascend to the hall." “

Jinji Buzi is the official uniform of the second grade of the civil official, and the Siqing of Dali Temple is the third grade, so that person should be the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

As soon as the Shangshu of the Criminal Department left, Siqing of Dali Temple, Xia Yuanming and Zhuo Feifei also left together.

After a while, Jiangxia heard someone calling "Shengtang", and there was a yacha pestle moving water and fire sticks called "mighty". Then there was a startling sound, and someone shouted, "Take the plaintiff and the defendant to court." ”

When Jiang Xia stood up, a few more people came in the back hall.

Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong. Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Jiang Xia smiled. Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't worry." ”

"I've never been worried." Jiang Xia smiled slightly and walked out of the back hall, and met two yacha on the way, so he walked into the lobby of Dali Temple under the leadership of yacha.

I have to say that the hall of Dali Temple is very large, more than several times larger than the Shuntianfu Yamen he went to before. Sitting in the middle of the hall is the book of the criminal department, and then on the left hand side is the Dali Temple Temple, and on the right hand side is the imperial history of the left and right sides of the Imperial Palace.

Obviously, today is the presiding judge of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

Kneeling in the lobby was He Yunlai's dizzy old mother and a few concubines. Jiang Xia looked behind him, and saw that Dali Temple had been blocked by the people of Beijing, and even Jiang Xia was startled by that battle, how many people from Jingshi came?

Because He Yunlai's mother was old, Shangshu of the Criminal Department specially set up a chair for her. And Jiang Xia stood on top of the lobby because he was still a prisoner of Guozi. But the concubines were kneeling.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department glanced at the next hall, then looked at the paper in his hand, and then looked at the next hall, he found that something was wrong, so he asked: "What about He Yunlai to marry his wife He Li?" Why didn't you come? “

"If you go back to adulthood, my sister is too sad and has no intention of falling in love with the world, and she has committed suicide by taking poison." A concubine from He Yunlai said.

"Suicide by poisoning?" Shangshu of the Criminal Department was shocked, and he roared angrily at that time: "Bastard, why didn't the Shuntianfu report the plaintiff's suicide?" “

In the back hall, Zhu Hou took a look at Cui Zhengyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the Shuntian Mansion, and Cui Zhengyi immediately said nervously: "Your Majesty, Weichen has not received such news." ”

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "Liu Jin, bring Wang Baosheng up." ”

"Yes." Liu Jin retreated, and after a while, he and the two Dongchang fans brought Wang Baosheng.

Zhu Houzhao said to Cui Zhengyi: "You take him to the hall to explain." ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Cui Zhengyi stared at Wang Baosheng fiercely, he already understood that this matter must be Wang Baosheng doing ghosts inside. Now he Cui Zhengyi can't escape the charge of having no way to escape, and today's performance appraisal of the officials must be poor.

Cui Zhengyi took Wang Baosheng to the court, and at this time, Shangshu of the Criminal Department was preparing to discuss with the Dali Temple Siqing and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate whether to postpone the retrial.

After Cui Zhengyi went to the court, he bowed slightly to the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and said: "Wang Baosheng, an official of Shuntianfu, is related to this case, let him explain the specific situation." ”

After speaking, Cui Zhengyi glanced at Wang Baosheng, Wang Baosheng immediately knelt down and began to talk about the role he played and what he did in it, of course, the so-called "benefactor" He also said it.

After Wang Baosheng finished speaking, Jiang Xia heard some discussion in the crowd, "Hmph, this must be the emperor who instructed him to say this, with the emperor's support, it can really turn black into white." “

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, arched his hand and said, "My lord, I came down today not to be interrogated, but to prove my innocence. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia turned around and glanced at the people behind him, and then said, "Everyone may be thinking, what Wang Baosheng said is not to be believed. It doesn't matter, we can assume that we don't hear what he says for the time being. “

Fauber, who was standing in the crowd to hear the trial, frowned slightly.

Jiang Xia continued: "First of all, let's first explain the case of whether the Jiuyang Pill is poisonous or not. We won't say how many people Jiuyang Dan have eaten, why is it that only He Yunlai was poisoned and died? And the rest of the people all ate the dragon spirit and the tiger? The reason is very simple, because Jiuyang Dan is not poisonous at all, and the reason why He Yunlai died is because others have poisoned him outside Jiuyang Dan. We ask Shun Tianfu to do it. ”

Soon he came out of the back hall, he knelt on the ground and said: "The villain has verified that He Yunlai and Master He died of severe poison, and from the state of death, it should be poisoned by Heding Red." ”

After he finished speaking, Jiang Xia smiled again: "Of course, everyone may also think that what he said is not credible, because he may also be bribed by me, so he committed perjury." But it doesn't matter, I'll bring in two more people, and they'll prove whether what I'm saying is true or not. “

After speaking, Jiang Xia said calmly: "Please Li Yun of He Li's family, and Wang Boyan, his lover." ”

"Whoa...... Isn't Li Yun dead? How could it be ......"

Among the crowd, the most surprised was Fu Bo, who had always been unfazed, and his face changed again and again at the moment. Jiang Xia said with a smile: "I had long expected that someone would want to kill He Li's family, so I gave her a fake death pill first. The medicine was obtained from the chief imperial physician of the palace, Imperial Doctor Hu, and after taking it, he would fake his death for twelve hours, and the symptoms were as if he had taken arsenic. ”

Li Yun knelt on the ground, and then said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am He Yunlai's wife, He Yunlai is actually ...... It was poisoned by me with Heding Red, and it has nothing to do with Jiuyang Dan.

The reason why I am willing to tell the truth is because I am also instructed by others, and the person who instructed me is him, Wang Baosheng, the ruler of Shuntian Mansion. “

"Ten days ago, my husband caught me committing adultery with Bo Yan, and then arrested us and sued us at the government. Bo Yan and I were originally imprisoned, but Wang Baosheng released me, saying that only I could blame the owner of Jiuyang Feifeng Pharmacy for killing my husband, and he would let me and Bo Yan go, so that I could still get the property of the He family.

As a result, I was fascinated for a while, so I took the Jiuyang Pill that he gave me with poison and went to Lixiangyuan to find my husband. When I pleaded with him, I secretly changed his Jiuyang Dan. Then ......"
