"I see, this Jiao Hong is actually still a martial arts master, but I don't know who he learned his martial arts from?"

"This Scholar Cao is going to ask Jiao Hong himself."

"Master Meng, how is Jiao Hong's martial arts better than yours?" Cao Ding, a member of the Cabinet University, asked curiously.

"Needless to say, of course it's not as good, Meng Aiqing fought dozens of Tatar dead soldiers by himself, not only retreated, but also killed more than a dozen people on the other side, how can a little Jiao Hong compare?" Zhu Qizhen replied for Meng Yan.

"The emperor praised it falsely, that battle was thanks to Wei Chen's desperate protection, otherwise it would be difficult for Wei Chen to get out."

"Lord Xiao Meng is humble, the famous Eagle Claw King Yinghu in the capital was broken by you three or two times, and he lay down for ten days before he could get out of bed, you don't know, I don't know how many people in this army want to compete with you!" Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong laughed and said loudly.

"The prince of the country is in love!"

"Master Xiaomeng, please continue, the story you tell is very fond of listening to a certain family, and it is surprising that such an unbelievable case actually happened in this dynasty!"

"Weichen ordered someone to remove the railing and door frame, and asked Lord Langzhong Kuaixiang of the Ministry of Industry to help, and finally started with the repair technology, and found the craftsman who repaired these railings and wooden frames, his name is Zhang Xiaohua, and after being introduced by a person named Ah Liu, the railing and door frame were repaired on the night of the crime, the purpose is to cover up the traces of the fight at the scene." Meng Yan continued.

"This qiē is all the credit of Lord Meng, and Weichen just did his best!" Kuai Xiang hurriedly walked out of the train and leaned over.

"Kuai Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble. I've taken credit for your work! ”

Kuai Xiang felt a little ashamed, although he made a lot of efforts in the process of finding the witness carpenter Zhang Xiaohua, but it was Meng Yan and his subordinates who really made efforts to find people.

"If it weren't for Lord Kuai's help, Weichen wouldn't have been able to lock up the witness Zhang Xiaohua soon." Meng Yan said.

According to Zhang Xiaohua's testimony, the person who asked him to repair the railing and door frame was Jiao Hong, and Zhang Xiaohua also found the blood stains left after the cleaning at the scene, which proved that Li Chenyan was killed by Jiao Hong and dragged the body back indoors. Fake the scene of the killing! ”

"Other than that. According to their recollections, there were indeed traces of the body dragging at the scene of the crime, and the blood stains on the ground were not only under the deceased's position. Also outside the house. There was also a lot of blood splattered on the walls and door frames. The bloodstains were later cleaned up and were not mentioned in the dossier of the later on-site investigation! ”

Later, they confessed that these originally important descriptions of the scene were all at Cao Qin's request. It was not written into the file, and it was not allowed to disclose half a word to the public, and everyone took a lot of hush money according to the level of their position! ”

"It's none other than Jiao Hong who paid this money!"

"The people in Dongchang are too lawless, they take the court's money, and they actually do such a thing, they should be killed!"

"Lord Cao is right, you should be killed!"

Wang Zhen stood behind the emperor, his face was very unnatural, the people in Dongchang had indeed gone too far, and they didn't take the initiative to give these officials in the court a handle?

It's good that now I was angry, but fortunately I took Cao Jixiang down earlier, otherwise the young and vigorous emperor would have been angry and laid off the East Factory, which would have been a big loss.

"Your Majesty, this Dongchang is handling the case like this, it is simply a matter of carelessness for human life, and Weichen implores the emperor to thoroughly investigate the Dongchang and severely punish such people who are greedy, derelict in duty, and pervert the law!" An imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate knelt down and said.

"Please punish the emperor severely!"

"Okay, I have dismissed Cao Jixiang Dongchang as the commander of the eunuch seal, and the Qianhu Cao Qin, who accepted bribes and disregarded people's lives, Meng Aiqing has also taken him into custody, and as for the rest of the criminals, they will also be brought to justice and will be dealt with!" Zhu Qizhen announced.

"The Emperor Shengming!"

Now that the emperor has issued an order to remove Cao Jixiang from his post and put Cao Qin in prison, the courtiers are naturally not persecuted.

After chanting "Emperor Shengming", the ministers who knelt down also stood up one by one.

"Meng Aiqing, you continue!" Zhu Qizhen smiled slightly and said to Meng Yan.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen carefully questioned the carpenter Zhang Xiaohua and confirmed that on the night of the crime, he was called over by Ah Liu, and at the request of Jiao Hong, the door frame and railing of Bai Suxin's room were repaired overnight, so that the situation at the scene was completely changed, and he gave Cao Qin a large amount of silver bribes, so that the original evidence at the scene disappeared, and the iron case of Bai Suxin's adultery and murder was handled in this way!"

"There are all human and physical evidence, it seems that the murderer is Jiao Hong!" Jin Yao, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, said loudly.

"What Lord Jin said is right, this is already ironclad evidence!" Chen Yi, the imperial history of the right capital, also echoed.

"This Jiao Hong should be killed!"

"Kill, kill......"

The ministers echoed each other.

"May I ask Master Meng, the old slave has also read the case file, since Jiao Hong killed someone, but in the file, Bai Suxin's evidence is clear and clear, and the facts of the case are clear, besides, Bai Suxin is holding a sharp knife and piercing Li Chenyan's chest, no one denies this, right?" Wang Zhen suddenly stood up at this time.

"Mr. Wang, didn't Meng Aiqing say it carefully enough?" Zhu Qizhen was a little incomprehensible and even puzzled by Wang Zhen standing up to question Meng Yan at this time.

"Master, does the old slave think that he has to ask a clear question, and the old slave is unclear in his heart, so he naturally wants to ask clearly?" Wang Zhendao.

"What doubts does Mr. Wang have in his heart?"

"The old slave thinks that this can't just be based on Lord Meng's words, those people in Dongchang were detained by Lord Meng, did they bend into a trick?" Wang Zhen asked coldly.

"Yes, what the prince said makes sense, the story that Lord Meng just told is very beautiful, and it is also twists and turns, we are all fascinated by what we heard, but whether what Lord Meng said is the truth, Weichen is also skeptical!" Wang You, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, jumped out and said.

Wang Zhen didn't speak, the emperor stood on Meng Yan's side to support him, and his henchmen naturally wouldn't stand up and compete with the emperor lightly. Now that Wang Zhen has spoken, these people naturally want to stand up and help.

In the main hall, Wang Zhen had many henchmen, and soon, many people echoed and criticized Meng Yan.

For such a situation, Meng Yan was naturally prepared, and he also knew that Wang Zhen and Dongchang would not admit defeat so lightly.

Even if they can't get the case back, they will look for their own mistakes and omissions to dismantle the table.

Actually, Meng Yan was waiting for them.

"What doubts does the prince have. The lower officials can solve your doubts one by one. Meng Yan arched his hand at Wang Zhenyi.

"Master. Did the old slave ask? ”

"I'm not here for a word, if you have any questions, sir, just ask." Zhu Qizhen said, "Meng Aiqing." How are you? ”

"Wechen has no problem."

"Lord Meng. The old slave wanted to ask for advice. The cause of Li Chenyan's death had already been investigated, and it was a fatal wound to the chest. There was no scar on the neck, but Master Meng said that Li Chenyan's death was due to a fatal wound to the neck, and this old slave didn't understand, why did Lord Meng decide that the chest injury was not a fatal injury? ”

"Although Li Chenyan's body has decomposed, but because Lord Li did not bury it, the body is still in its original state, I opened the museum with Ge Tong of Dali Temple to examine the body, this Li Chenyan's chest is only less than a finger and a half deep, and it has not injured the internal organs, so it is not fatal!"

"If the prince doesn't believe my words, you should always believe this Ge Tongge, right?"

"This Ge Tongzhen has also heard that he served as the inquest for this major case in Dali Temple, right?"

"It's this Getong!"

"Since Ge Tong personally inspected it, it must be undoubted, no one in the capital knows that Ge Tong will not give face, and what is inspected is what it is!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Since it was Ge Tong's test, the old slave naturally has no doubts, but even if Jiao Hong bribed Cao Qin and found someone to repair doors, windows and railings, that person may not be killed by him?" Wang Zhendao, "There must be a murder weapon to kill, Jiao Hong kills people, where is the murder weapon?" ”

"Of course there is a murder weapon, and it is a blade that sharpens iron like clay, thanks to the fact that the murder weapon is a treasure blade, otherwise, if it was an ordinary knife, the murderer would have thrown it away or buried it long ago, then looking for it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"Lord Meng has found the murder weapon?"

"The murder weapon is a sharp short sword, the name is: Qiushui Sword, it is a thing that passed away a hundred years ago, the famous swordsmith Gu Jizi passed away, it is an ominous sword, Jiao Hong got it, he has been wearing it closely, that day, he used this Qiushui Sword to kill Li Chenyan, after the killing, he naturally did not dare to take the Qiushui Sword with him again, Jiao Hong also has a long-term private room in the Hejian Hall, but not with his real name, but with a flower name, this Qiushui Sword was found in his private room, and there are some of his personal belongings and letters hidden inside."

"That's exactly what happened!"

"We compared the wounds and found that the injuries on Li Chenyan's body were exactly the same as those caused by the Qiushui Sword."

"Wait a minute, Li Chenyan's corpse has rotted, how can there still be scars?"

"This lord, the scars on the flesh can rot, but what about the bones?" Meng Yan smiled, "Li Chenyan has many wounds on his body, among which there are sword marks on the humerus injured by the Qiushui Sword, after careful comparison between the official and Ge Yan, it is determined that it is the wound of the Qiushui Sword!" ”

"Although Li Chenyan was defeated by Jiao Hong and was brutally killed by him, Jiao Hong was not unscathed, his left eye was also injured, the witness carpenter Zhang Xiaohua, He Wendong and Jiao Hong's maid ring, the subordinates of Baifu can prove this!" Meng Yan said loudly, "Mr. Wang, do you want me to say more?" ”

"No need, the old slave knows." Wang Zhen bowed his head and said.

"Your Majesty, Bai Suxin's case has been investigated clearly, the investigation and the process of the case have been written on the excerpt to the emperor, and the task of Weichen has been completed!" Meng Yan said solemnly.

"Meng Aiqing, this case has not yet been tried, how can it be finished?" Zhu Qizhen asked strangely, and the surrounding civil and military officials also felt strange.

"Weichen is only responsible for investigating the case, and this case has to be decided by Yousi." Meng Yan Road.

"You've investigated the case clearly, and it's not over with a quick judgment, so why bother?"

"The minister can investigate the case, but this judgment will not work, once the minister has not judged the case, how to sentence must be done in accordance with the law, the minister has not yet read the "Da Ming Law", how to judge the case, this professional thing is still left to professional people to do." Meng Yan explained. (To be continued......)
