This morning, my eyes fell on the body of Zhang Lao, the Duke of Weiguo.

In addition to his dark skin, how can his body shape make people feel weird?

There are two bulging pockets in the chest and abdomen, as if something has been stuffed into it......

Military attachés, whether tall, short, fat or thin, tend to be solid and tight. Although this Wei Guogong is nearly sixty years old, the posture of his arms and legs looks tough, but the chest and abdomen do not match his body type.

After staying in the court, I told Xiao Ke about this doubt, Xiao Ke blinked her eyelashes, and whispered to me, "There are still strange things." The slave maid used to serve the state banquet of the previous dynasty, you said, where is there a military general who does not like to drink, but this Wei Guogong is different. Especially for the Dragon Boat Banquet, I sat down and looked uncomfortable, and I retreated to the inner room and slept until the end of the banquet. ”

I laughed to myself, could it be that he is Bai Suzhen?

But the sudden thought of his story with a big orange snake made me feel creepy......

So, I managed to bring up Wei Guogong's file and read it carefully.

Which year to enter the office, promotion, handling political affairs, one by one details.

Then, a whole page of records seemed to glow and shine into my eyes.

"In the sixth year of Taizu, when he was the general of Jin Wuwei, he handled the case of plotting against the female minister Bai Xianzhao to seize power...... On the night of 24 August, Bai Xianzhao and 209 of his cronies were arrested at the Basket Street Villa in Dongshi...... His eldest son resisted stubbornly and rectified the Dharma on the spot......

"A total of 577 rebels were liquidated...... There are four children, including Bai Xianzhao, and the whereabouts of one young son and two young daughters are unknown......

I shook my head when I saw it, five hundred and seventy-seven people were arrested, so five hundred and seventy-six heads fell to the ground in the Goujiling Execution Ground in Dongshi, and the remaining main culprit, Bai Xianzhao, was cut by a thousand knives in the most prosperous place in Najing.

Before the booklet left his hand, Xiaoshu, the palace maid of the Ganlu Palace, ran over and called me all the way: "Xiaosu, ah, no, Shangshu, you are too powerful, how did you recognize Mama Hu of Ma Yuan as Bai Xianzhao." ”

"Huh?" I was puzzled.

Xiaoshu is used to being no big or small with me: "Ahhhhhhhh Didn't you teach Mama Hu in Mayuan the day before yesterday, and you still recognized who she was? ”

I couldn't help but say, "This ...... What do you hear? ”

"Alas, it's all spread outside. I just heard it, and the original words were: 'Fan Shangshu punished the horse trainer Hu Mama for mistreating his subordinates, and found that this Hu Mama actually looked the same as Bai Xianzhao, the rebellious woman, and suspected that the original person was dropped. ’”

My head buzzed, and I stood up in surprise: "Is this really the case?" ”

Xiaoshu pursed his lips: "This is still fake, or you can ask yourself." ”

I quickly summoned Xiao Ke and a few others to ask about it, and they all answered.

A bad premonition struck, who used me as a gunman to carry out this "fake hand to others" scheme!

Who were all the people there at the time...... Could it be an aunt? No, Mama Hu was still transferred to the palace by her, and like the eldest prince, they all said that they liked her equestrian skills, and they were quite close to her...... Therefore, why bother asking for trouble this time, and get into the suspicion of harboring people. Second, wouldn't this move hurt Mama Hu.

Chewie? She shouldn't know Bai Xianzhao.

That......

Hey, recalling the scene in the horse garden at that time, there were more than a dozen people at several rest desks, all of whom were looked at by them.

I began to get frustrated, blaming myself for being careless and not thinking too much! The heart is mixed, and the depression has become a pimple.

There is nothing like this that does not disturb the holy truth.

Gong Zhengsi arrested Mama Hu as soon as possible, and the emperor also drove to Gong Zhengsi to watch the trial.

I was confused, and I was torn to tell the truth about what I knew. But this time, the evil prescription of the old Taoist brother Shuchen is about to be exposed, and he has been getting close to Daddy recently, what if it affects Daddy......

I was in a hurry, and I didn't advance or retreat on the road. Several attendants looked at me inexplicably: "My lord, my lord, who are you?" ”

But these chaotic worries are difficult to speak, coincidentally, Mama Hu's age is really similar to Bai Xianzhao, if Bai Xianzhao is still alive, he will be almost sixty years old this year!

At this age, there are very few old mothers who are still energetic and strong...... Really, all the strange conditions that make up the treacherous situation we have today!

Another wave of people came up in a rage and stopped me in the road.

It's Zhang Cairen.

She raised her eyebrows and opened her mouth: "Fan Shangshu, why do you have to get along with my uncle?" ”

I frowned: "Uncle Cairen?" Oh, Duke Weiguo, the minister didn't mean that. ”

"Don't mean that? It has been spread throughout the palace that you slandered my uncle for the real and stole the real traitor! ”

I calmly explained: "Zhang Cairen should not fall for the tricks of others. This is not the case with the minister's original words, and he did not take the initiative to spread public opinion. This time, I think it was used by someone with a heart. Give the minister a little time, and Rong Chen should think about the best of both worlds. ”

Zhang Cairen sneered: "I have heard that Fan Yu's teeth are sharp and sharp, and today can be regarded as insight!" Such quibbling is but self-inflicted cleverness, and you were blind and deaf on that day? ”

I tried to be polite: "The minister is going to the palace to participate in the trial of Mama Hu's case, Zhang Cairen might as well go with him and listen to what the testimony has to say." ”

She gritted her teeth and said, "I also want to go and meet the saint for your sin of slandering the courtiers!" Then he flicked his sleeves and strode forward.

I was shocked by the sin of slandering the courtiers.

The severity of the situation is already rapidly accumulating! I suddenly realized that if it is found out that Mama Hu is not Bai Xianzhao, then this rumor will become a "big crime of bullying the king"!

At this time, I am infinitely close to several crimes, just like standing on a cliff, and one carelessness is the danger of the abyss.

I went to Gong Zhengji with high spirits, and how to deal with it next, I had to act at the opportunity!

In front of the main hall of the palace Zhengsi, two bronze sculptures on the left and one on the right, with green hair and a single horn, angry eyes and round eyes, intimidating and courageous, named the pigg.

The pig is incarnated by "law", good at judgment, able to distinguish between right and wrong, through human feelings, and expresses the four words "righteousness and brightness".

It's just that this ancient beast has not been in the world for a long time, if it is still there, I don't know how much it will be Haiqing Heyan.

I walked carefully into the hall, and there were already dozens of people lined up in the room. The saint and Chen Gong were sitting on the top, the concubine was not present, my aunt was on the first right, and I was sitting on the second right.

When the eyes met, I felt that her eyes were as deep as the sea, and her face was unpredictable.

Zhang Cairen's gaze from the opposite side seemed to burn me.

I bowed my head, looked at my nose, nose and heart, and rehearsed in my head the conversation that would unfold next.

Huhula, the chains clanged, and the hands and feet were heavily handcuffed, Mama Hu was driven to the lobby, but her expression was acceptable, and there was no strong emotion.

The eunuch gave a salute with his hand: "Saint, the suspect has been brought." ”

The emperor nodded, rubbed his temples and raised his hand to Yang Gongzheng: "You come." ”

Yang Gongzheng, who was waiting for the will, said yes, then turned around and said, "Who is in the hall, report your name." ”

Mama Hu drooped her eyelids: "The old slave is the horse trainer Hu Qin in the Royal Horse Garden." ”

Yang Gongzheng interrogated and asked: "Since you are Huqin, why are you the same appearance and age as the rebellious female minister Bai Xianzhao?" ”

Mama Hu replied: "Back to the adult, the old slave came to the palace a few days ago to serve the royal bath, and when the task was completed, he had a strange illness at first glance, and his head and face were swollen for ten years, and then he changed into this appearance. Several fathers-in-law who were also in charge of this errand in the Ministry of Internal Service could testify for the old slave. ”

"Biography!"

Several eunuchs then came out of the crowd and fell to their knees, but their testimony was different from the truth at the time. only said: "When this Mama Hu finished her errand, she claimed that she was unwell, and she just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible." As for whether her head was swollen or not, because she covered her face with a cloth, the minions did not know. ”

I was stunned, they were obviously talking nonsense with their eyes open, but they told me that Mama Hu was swollen into a bull's head and a horse's face!

Mama Hu saw that the scene was not right, and began to be anxious: "My lord, Lord Gongzheng, the appearance of the old slave in his illness is obvious to all, how can they pretend not to see it!" ”

Yang Chengcheng slapped the case: "Shut up!" The official hasn't asked you yet! ”

At this time, a few Yu Linwei trotted in from outside, hurriedly saluted and panted: "Saint, Lord Gongzheng, my subordinates have found this thing in the dormitory where Mama Hu once lived in Taifu Temple!" ”

They took something out of the box, and when I looked closely, it was a human skin mask!

The audience was in an uproar.

Yang Gongzheng had a serious face: "There is such a thing!" ”

Then he looked at the crowd: "Which one will use this thing, put it on her!" ”

What I didn't expect was that Lin Yanzi was actually present, she stepped forward, and Mao Sui recommended herself: "Lord Gongzheng, the slave maid used to stay in the juggling team for a few days, and she understands how to wear this human skin mask. ”

Yang Gongzheng nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, you can try." ”

"The slave obeys."

Lin Yanzi asked for a few tools, including a full set of drama makeup, women's makeup utensils, as well as flour, beeswax, brushes of different sizes, and so on.

Then several guards of five big and three thick guards escorted Mama Hu, pulled her head, and forcibly fixed her properly.

Lin Yanzi asked someone to use a black cloth to surround the makeup scene, and explained: "You just need to watch the results, if you watch the process, the before and after comparison is not obvious."

Then she burrowed into the black cloth and put her hands up and down. Through the shadow, it can be seen that she has made a big slash on Mama Hu's face and fiddled with it all the time.

While waiting, there was a dead silence, and I didn't even dare to relax my breath. After sneaking a few glances at my aunt, she had been sitting quietly with her face like water.

It didn't take too long, about a quarter of an hour, and Lin Yanzi came out of the black cloth: "It's over." ”

The emperor nodded solemnly: "Open!" ”

Then the black curtain fell, like a dark night sinking in the east, and Mama Hu, who "appeared in the powder", changed her appearance again in front of everyone's eyes!

I almost jumped out of my chair!

The same! It's exactly the same as she used to look!

Zhang Cairen couldn't resist this change and got up suddenly, took two steps closer to take a closer look, his eyes were full of incredulity, pointing at Mama Hu's face, trembling and trembling.

The emperor's eyes were about to pop out, but he let out a sigh of relief, pursed the corners of his lips, and fell back into his "thoughtful" appearance.

Yang Gongzheng snorted coldly, his eyes sharp: "Huqin, what else do you have to argue with now?" ”

Mama Hu almost smashed the floor tiles: "Wronged! The old slave is wronged! This human skin mask is an old slave's thing, and I've never heard of it! ”

Yang Gong turned his head and asked the emperor: "Sage, you see, this person's self-defense is weak, and now all kinds of evidence have been clear. ”

The emperor thought for a moment and looked at me.

My heart pounded.

"Fan Shangshu, how did you recognize Huqin as Bai Xianzhao?"

In this situation, I had to say a lot: "Returning to the saint, the minister was given a picture album by others before, and there was a sinner Bai Xianzhao on it, so I unintentionally wrote it down. The minister said in the horse yard the day before yesterday, and the implication was only to wonder why there were such similar people in this world, and he didn't think that there would be so many involvement. ”

Yang Gongzheng laughed and said first: "This Fan Shangshu is still young, and she has heard of the personnel more than thirty years ago. The childish words spread layer by layer, but they were crooked and re-exposed this old case. ”

The saint nodded.

Then he raised his head and announced: "Today's incident involves the major case of the six-year female conspiracy of Taizu, and the culprit is now transferred to Dali Temple." And the presiding officer of the case will be investigated and reviewed one by one, and returned it at the same time, and the three divisions will be tried! ”

Everyone stood up and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty Shengming." ”

"Let's disperse."

The emperor's moment of heroism was quickly unloaded, leaving everyone's backs, mixed with heaviness and indifference.
