"Lord Zhao, my father has something to ask Liu Zhang, I don't know if it's convenient?" After the few officers who were holding the order signed by Zhao Muyu left the court, Li Yuntian groaned for a while, looked up at Zhao Muyu, and asked quietly.

"Your Excellency, please." Zhao Muyu didn't hesitate at all when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, unlike the three officials who heard the trial of the three law divisions, Li Yuntian came to Shuntian Mansion this time to assist in the trial of the case by the order of Emperor Xuande, which was equivalent to a jury trial, so he could naturally ask Liu Zhang's questions.

"Liu Zhang, my father's accent seems to be from Jiangnan?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly to Zhao Muyu, and asked Liu Zhang, who was kneeling there, in a deep voice.

"Grandpa Guo, the woman is from Songjiang Mansion in Nanzhili." Hearing this, Liu Zhang's bowed to Li Yuntian and said, although Li Yuntian is her bitter master, he is also a high-ranking and powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty, and she cannot be rude to Li Yuntian under the hierarchical feudal system.

"When did you go to Cochin?" Li Yuntian then asked, his tone was flat and without the slightest emotion, making it impossible to understand his intentions.

"In the sixth year of Xuande, the husband of the folk woman heard that Jiaozhi was initially decided, and all kinds of waste were waiting to be revived, and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce vigorously promoted the expansion of Jiaozhi business in Jiangnan, so the husband of the folk woman decided to go to Jiaozhi to do business."

Liu Zhangshi had already prepared and calmly answered Li Yuntian's question, and then his words turned around, and he glared at Li Yuntian with sad eyes, "Zhen Guogong, if the people are not mistaken, at that time, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce preached that the prince of the country supported Shangjia to do business in Jiaozhi, but why did he go back on his word and make things difficult!" ”

"Good acting!" Looking at Liu Zhang's who looked at him with a sad and angry expression, Li Yuntian couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, not to mention those who didn't know the truth at the scene, even if he watched Liu Zhang's performance, he would be deceived for the first time.

"When did you leave Cochin?" Li Yuntian didn't pay attention to Liu Zhang's questioning, but asked slowly, he knew that it would be a complete waste of time to fight with Liu Zhang's now, so he came at his own pace step by step.

"In July of the ninth year of Xuande, the husband's business of the folk woman was ruined by the help of power, and he had to bring the folk woman to the capital to sue the royal court, hoping to get justice." Li Yuntian could ignore Liu Zhang's family, but Liu Zhang's family couldn't ignore Li Yuntian's question, and after returning to Li Yuntian's question, he stared at Li Yuntian and asked, "Zhenguo Gong, can you give justice to the people's women?" ”

"If what you say is true, this prince will definitely give you justice!" Li Yuntian frowned slightly when he heard this, Liu Zhang's dared to interrogate himself in front of him in the court, it was simply fearless, but he was too lazy to bother with him now, and asked indifferently, "Where have you been running your business in Jiaozhi for the past few years?" ”

"It's been in Thanh Hoa City." Liu Zhangshi saw that Li Yuntian had been asking her about her experience in Jiaozhi, and his eyes suddenly showed a look of alertness, and he replied expressionlessly.

"House number?" When Li Yuntian heard this, a subtle smile suddenly flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he asked sternly.

"No. 67, Chunfeng Fang, Jiqing Street, Beicheng." Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, and there was a hint of smugness in his eyes, and he replied in an orderly manner.

Neighborhoods in ancient cities had names and were clearly marked in prominent places.

Unlike modern times, in ancient cities, the "fang" was the basic residential unit, and the entrance of the fang was marked, usually carved into the masonry of the wall, and the streets of the city were the same.

Generally speaking, those who are well-off have Li Mansion or Wang Mansion written on the door, while ordinary people have nothing and no house number.

However, after quelling the rebellion in Jiaozhi, Li Yuntian carried out various reforms in Jiaozhi with great fanfare, among which the corresponding household registration was the establishment of a house number, so that each resident had an exact address, which was more convenient for the government to manage.

Li Yuntian keenly noticed the smugness that flashed in Liu Zhang's eyes, and suddenly sneered in his heart, it seems that Liu Zhang's has a certain understanding of the affairs of Qinghua City beforehand, but there is a good saying, it is called painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, as long as Liu Zhang's has not been to Jiaozhi, then he will definitely show flaws.

"Where is the Liu family's cloth shop?" Then, Li Yuntian glanced at Liu Zhang and asked the next question.

"No. 56, Xia Xiangfang, Yongqing Street, Nancheng." Liu Zhangshi didn't want to open her mouth to say the address, she was not afraid of the government for verification, this is thousands of miles to Jiaozhi, not only the distance is long but also the journey is difficult, unless you send 800 miles to expedit, otherwise it will take half a year to go back and forth, so she is not afraid that Li Yuntian will send someone to Qinghua City to check her details.

"You've been in Qinghua City for nearly three years, you should know where the Qinghua Mansion is, right?" Li Yuntian saw that Liu Zhang's answer was calm, so he asked after a deep sigh.

"Grandpa Guo, although the women don't usually go out, they also know that the government is at No. 1 Yongxiang Street in Nancheng." This question naturally did not bother Liu Zhang's, and Liu Zhang's eyes showed a trace of contempt after hearing this, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Since you live in Beicheng, you should have seen the stone statues standing in Beicheng." Li Yuntian sensed that Liu Zhang despised him, but he didn't mind it, and continued his questions step by step.

"The women have seen that in order to commemorate the soldiers who died defending Thanh Hoa City, the government built a stone statue of a military general holding a sword on the square of Beicheng, and the stone statue was built at the intersection of Jiqing Street, and the women will be able to see it as long as they go out to do errands."

A subtle smile flashed at the corner of Liu Zhang's mouth, and she replied to Li Yuntian in an orderly manner, she felt that Li Yuntian was not a big deal, and she couldn't even see that she had taken control of the shape in Qinghua City, and continued to test her in vain.

"Illiterate?" The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth also showed a slight smile, Liu Zhang was too confident to find out his intentions at all, and then Yu Feng turned around and asked another seemingly unrelated question.

"I've been in private school for two years." Liu Zhangshi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and seemed a little surprised, and answered truthfully after thinking about it.

"Write down what my father just asked you." Li Yuntian said lightly when he heard this, he had long known that Liu Zhang's knew how to read, Liu Ren was a wealthy cloth merchant, according to the ancient principle of being the right person, his wife was either from a big family or a scholarly family, and she received a good education when she was a child, so she was naturally literate, if Liu Zhang's was illiterate, it would make people suspicious.

"Yes!" Liu Zhang's eyes showed a suspicious look, and she didn't know why Li Yuntian did this, but she didn't dare to disobey Li Yuntian's order, and agreed obediently.

The messenger of Shuntianfu quickly prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and under the gaze of everyone, Liu Zhangshi picked up a brush and wrote down the content of the conversation with Li Yuntian just now, and secretly wondered if there was anything wrong with the reply just now while writing.

However, Liu Zhang's thought about it and didn't find any omissions, and she answered Li Yuntian's questions without leaking, so her mood gradually calmed down.

When Liu Zhang was writing there, Li Yuntian quietly tasted a cup of fragrant tea there, although he didn't like to drink tea, but he was not suitable to drink white water in public, so he could only choose to use fragrant tea to pass the time.

The people outside the hall were confused by Li Yuntian's seemingly strange behavior before, but because the courtyard was full of servants to maintain order, no one dared to speak, but they only looked at each other with doubts, secretly guessing Li Yuntian's intentions.

Zhao Muyu and the three hearing officials of the Three Law Divisions took this opportunity to ponder the conversation between Li Yuntian and Liu Zhang's just now, they had all seen Li Yuntian's power, and they knew that Li Yuntian would not ask Liu Zhang's questions for no reason, but they didn't find anything suspicious about the conversation between the two.

"Liu Zhang, you don't remember the door number wrong, right?" After Liu Zhangshi finished writing, an errand officer took the confession she wrote to Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian glanced at it, and a subtle smile flashed on the corner of his mouth, and then raised his head and asked Liu Zhangshi expressionlessly.

"Grandpa Guo, the woman has lived in Qinghua City for three years, how can she misunderstand her house number." Liu Zhangshi replied with an affirmative face when she heard this, and now she has no way out, and if she regrets it, it will undoubtedly give Li Yuntian an opportunity.

"Are you sure it's your house number? Exactly the numbers on the door? Li Yuntian saw Liu Zhang's admission, so he continued to ask.

"Grandpa Guo, the folk woman is indeed written according to the number on the door number, and she will never be mistaken." Liu Zhangshi saw Li Yuntian grabbing the door number and didn't let go, thinking that Li Yuntian was testing her, so her mentality became more resolute, and she replied resolutely in a resolute tone, she was not afraid that Li Yuntian would let people check the door number in Qinghua City, it was obvious that Li Yuntian did not have this time.

"Add what you said earlier, and sign it." Hearing this, a sneer suddenly flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he casually handed over the confession to the errand officer on the side, and then said to Liu Zhang's in a deep voice.

Liu Zhang was stunned when she heard this, and felt that Li Yuntian's behavior was very strange, but she didn't have time to think, so she quickly added the previous conversation with Li Yuntian to her confession, and then signed it, to be honest, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said before.

However, Zhao Muyu and the three hearing officers of the Three Law Divisions showed shocked expressions, they all belonged to the people of the Ming Judicial Yamen, and they were also in important positions, so they naturally knew Li Yuntian's habit of trying cases, once Li Yuntian asked people to sign and draw a pledge on the confession, it meant that Li Yuntian had already grabbed the handle of the other party, and then would give the other party a fatal blow.

"Lord Zhao, my father needs to transfer some items, and Lord Lao Zhao will send someone to run around." After Liu Zhang signed the confession, Li Yuntian took the confession and glanced at it, and then said to Zhao Muyu.

"The town has everything you can order." Zhao Muyu bowed slightly to Li Yuntian when he heard this, and agreed in one bite, secretly curious about what Li Yuntian would transfer.

Li Yuntian did not explicitly say the items he needed, but wrote them on a piece of paper and handed them to Zhao Muyu, Zhao Muyu couldn't help but look suspicious after reading the contents of the paper, and then issued an order to send someone out to get the items that Li Yuntian needed.

After the officers left, Li Yuntian asked the officers in the hall to take Liu Zhang's confession to Zhao Muyu and the three hearing officers sent by the three law divisions, and he sat there slowly and continued to taste the fragrant tea in his hand.

Zhao Muyu and the three interrogators took turns to check Liu Zhang's confession, but unfortunately they did not find any clues from it, and no one knew what useful clues Li Yuntian got from this confession, which made the atmosphere at the scene a little depressing and dull.
