The officials on both sides suddenly shouted twice, Lin Taohua was taken aback unguarded, and then said angrily: "The people are not guilty, and the adults still want to bend and beat them into tricks." ”

Kong Jingyi heard a shocked slap, and shouted angrily: "Bold criminals, despise the court, disrespect the laws of the court, drag down and take heavy responsibility for the twenty boards!" ”

"Slow down, adult."

When the official was about to drag Lin Taohua down for torture, Zhou Ming finally arrived with an important witness.

Kong Jingzhi's eyes were dark, and he stared at Zhou Ming, who was stopped by the officials, without saying a word.

Originally, according to Kong Jingzhi's plan, the hall was just a walk, and he would not do anything to Lin Taohua at all, but this morning, he reported that his eldest son, Kong Zhi, was jealous with people in Zuifeng Building, and was killed in the room of the red card peony in Zuifeng Building last night. Kong Jingzhi has been in the Drunken Wind Building this morning, the murderer's methods are extremely sophisticated, and there is no trace left, Kong Jingzhi interrogated all the people in the Drunken Wind Building, and faintly felt that Kong Zhi was not suddenly killed when he was jealous, but as if he was deliberately killed.

Nothing was found in the Drunken Wind Building, so Kong Jingzhi could only detain the relevant people in the Drunken Wind Building first, and then go back to the house to eat with a black face. Aunt Jiang, who was favored last night, saw that his face was not good, thinking that he knew about the plot with Kong Zhi yesterday against Lin Taohua, so she asked softly: "The master doesn't look good, but something?" ”

Kong Jingzhi was quite fond of Aunt Jiang, so he told the story of Kong Zhi's death in the drunken wind building. Aunt Jiang's face changed greatly, and she said in her heart, shouldn't the eldest prince be in the little slut's room brought by the old man last night? How did you die in the Drunken Wind Building?

Kong Jingzhi looked at Aunt Jiang's face, and had a bad premonition in his heart, put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Something to hide from me?" ”

Aunt Jiang has followed Kong Jingzhi for many years, and knew that Kong Jingzhi was ruthless, so she cried and told Kong Jingzhi what happened.

Kong Jingzhi was furious after hearing this, and directly ordered someone to beat Aunt Jiang half to death and throw her into the firewood room. When he came to Lin Taohua's detention place, he saw at a glance the locks that had been re-attached after being damaged, as well as the inconspicuous kicking marks on the door. Kong Jingzhi directly suspected Yue Yang's head, but he took the prisoner in violation of the law first, and there was no evidence to prove that Yue Yang entered the house and committed murder, so he could only suppress the fire in his heart.

Since this peach tree spirit couldn't stay by his side, he was convicted of murder, and then there was a matter of preparing for torture in the afternoon.

Kong Jingzhi guessed that Zhou Ming would come to defend Lin Taohua, but he didn't expect that he would be able to save the senior staff outside. The poison in the high-ranking foreign office is the famous intoxication on the rivers and lakes, this poison can only be solved by the person who makes the poison, and the person who makes the poison has already died in the rivers and lakes, it can be said that the current intoxication has no solution at all, and the poisoned person will continue to sleep in his sleep until he runs out of life. Zhou Ming actually saved him! Kong Jingzhi's gaze turned to Lin Taohua, who had a stubborn face, only this Yuan Spirit, who could not be counted as a human being, could do this.

"My lord, the grass people came with their certificates, please allow the grass people to come to the court." Zhou Ming was stopped by the official and said loudly.

According to the laws of the Jin Kingdom, unless there is a special confidential case, the government must hear it in public, and the people can come to observe it if they wish. This kind of regulation is to show the restraint of the imperial court on officials, and the second is to take the opportunity to deter the people. Kong Jingzhi didn't want to let Zhou Ming in, but Zhou Ming was the head of Qiu Ming and knew the law well, so he couldn't let him mess around at will, so he waved his hand and let the officials let Zhou Ming and his party in.

Zhou Ming walked into the lobby and quickly looked at Lin Taohua, and was a little relieved to see that she was fine, and bowed down and said, "Zhou Ming greets my lord." ”

The high-ranking outsiders are not as famous as Zhou Ming, and they all bow their heads and bow down.

"Grass People Gao Bin"

"Grass Folk Yang Qingxin"

"Grass Folk Dong Guier"

"Knock on your lordship."

Kong Jingzhi glanced at it lightly, and asked with a startled pat in his hand: "What are the demands of the people in the hall?" ”

Zhou Ming bowed and said loudly: "Lord Qiqi, the day before yesterday, the grass people and the inner son Zhou Lin went to the Huichun Hall to sell snow ear soup, and because the Huichun Hall shopkeeper Mr. Yang was not there, they sold it to the senior staff in the lobby of the Huichun Hall. At that time, in the lobby of the Rejuvenation Hall, the senior staff tasted three bowls on the spot, and Dong Gui'er, the junior of the Rejuvenation Hall, could testify. ”

Dong Guier kowtowed and said: "The small one is indeed at the scene, and there is nothing unusual after the senior staff eats out the soup." ”

Zhou Ming continued: "After that, my husband and wife went to the Gao family manor with the Gao Yuan, took the silver and left, during which the snow ear soup did not fake others, after my husband and wife left, Yang Qingxin, the owner of the Huichun Hall, went to the Gao family manor, and personally checked the efficacy of the snow ear soup, only the nourishing effect, and no toxicity, the adult can ask Yang Dongjia if it is true." ”

Kong Jingzhi asked lightly: "Yang Qingxin, is what Zhou Jieyuan said true?" ”

Yang Qingxin kowtowed and said: "The grass people have indeed verified that the snow ear soup is not poisonous, and it is much milder than the mountain ginseng Ganoderma lucidum in terms of nourishment. ”

Kong Jingzhi nodded.

Zhou Ming saw that he didn't speak, and said: "That night, the senior officials invited guests and friends to the banquet, handed over the snow ear soup to Wu Aniu, the second child of the champion building, and asked him to put the warm soup into a small bowl and present, so that the snow ear soup was kept by Wu Aniu, and no one knows what happened during this period, then, even if the soup is poisonous, there was a problem during this period, and it should be asked about Zhuangyuanlou, instead of arresting Neizi who had left Qiongya County at that time." ”

After hearing this, Kong Jingzhi touched his beard and said: "According to your words, it is the responsibility of the champion building, so I will take Su Jinquan, the shopkeeper of the champion building." ”

After Su Jinquan came to the hall, Kong Jingzhi slapped the frightened Tang Mu and shouted: "Bold Su Jinquan, someone reported that you were poisoned in the food of the guests, are you guilty?" ”

Su Jinquan had just knelt down, and before he could salute, he was accused of murder by Kong Jingzhi, and his legs were weak with fright, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord is wronged!" The poison was ordered by Jin San'er in the back kitchen, and the little one really doesn't know. ”

Kong Jingyi's face was serious, and he asked, "How do you know that the poison was caused by that Jin San'er?" Falsely accusing others is punishable, and this official advises you not to talk nonsense. ”

"The grass people don't dare! Jin San'er didn't come to work this morning, the grass people sent people to look for it, and found that Jin San'er was nowhere to be found, and the grass people found this from his room, which was verified by Mr. Yang of the Huichun Hall that it was poisoned by Wu Aniu. Su Jinquan kowtowed and said.

"Heh, I didn't expect there to be physical evidence, why don't you call your husband to come and check it?" I don't know when Yue Yang, who was standing leisurely in the middle of a group of people, said softly, but everyone at the scene heard it clearly.

In front of everyone's eyes, Kong Jingzhi had to summon a servant to inspect it, and it was confirmed that it was indeed poison intoxication, which was exactly the same as the poison in the soup.

Kong Jingzhi suddenly laughed when he heard what he said.

Zhou Ming's heart tightened inexplicably, and he intuitively felt that Kong Jingzhi was afraid that he was going to reverse black and white.

Sure enough, then Kong Jingzhi said: "I didn't expect Zhou Jieyuan to do such a thing in order to save Mrs. Zun, regardless of his identity. ”

Lin Taohua saw that Kong Jingzhi actually wanted to involve Zhou Ming, she was very angry in her heart, and scolded directly: "You cool official, you actually framed a good person with a red mouth and white teeth, I think it is clearly a good thing you have done." ”

"Peach blossoms." Zhou Ming was shocked, at this time, he should not take advantage of his tongue.

"Bold!" As soon as Zhou Ming shouted Lin Taohua's name, Kong Jingzhi's shocked wood was photographed, "The bold woman dares to despise the court and slander the court officials in front of the court." Come on, slap mouth. ”

With an order, he walked out of a sturdy servant and slapped Lin Taohua twice, only hitting Lin Taohua's cheeks were swollen and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

Zhou Mingyi's hands changed color and forced himself to calm down. "What evidence do you have to prove that the grass people planted the blame?"

Kong Jingzhi sneered and said, "Do you know what kind of poison Gao Yuanwai and that Wu Aniu were poisoned in?" ”

Zhou Ming was silent, he asked Gao Yuanwai's son, but everyone had no clue, and he just gave the peach blossom dew melted with peach blossoms to Gao Yuanwai to drink, and fortunately woke up Gao Yuanwai.

Kong Jing saw that Zhou Ming couldn't answer, and said coldly: "The poison in this snow ear soup is the intoxication of the famous people in the rivers and lakes, this poison is made by the poison doctor Du Meng, and the antidote is only known to him, and this person has already died in the vendetta in the rivers and lakes, and this poison has been extinct for many years." Gao Yuanwai was also infected with this poison not long ago, but now it has suddenly improved, where did Zhou Jieyuan's antidote come from? Hmph, this official has reason to suspect that this poison has something to do with you. ”

Zhou Ming secretly hated that this poison was clearly under Kong Jingzhi, and he even wanted to pull him in. Zhou Ming bowed down and said: "The senior staff is indeed rescued by the grass people, but it is not an intoxicating antidote, but something else. I have never seen Jin San'er, and I have no grudge against Wu Aniu, how could I find Jin San'er to assassinate Wu Aniu? Please be aware of it. ”

Kong Jingzhi smiled: "Oh? That tired Zhou Jieyuan took out the antidote and looked at it. ”
