Wu Tong was pacing back and forth in the hall, worried, Fan Yi told him that Xiang Lin was upright, well-behaved, and a good official who was loyal and virtuous. Wu Tongshen knew that the situation was critical, racked his brains to find a way, and really spent a lot of thought.

"Lord Wu is not so leisurely!" The two people who entered outside the hall were Sun Yan and Zuo Chao, and Tie Qing's face was full of resentment. Wu Tong was thinking about how to deal with them, but he didn't expect these two to come to the door in person, and then frowned, "It's just right!" Can you two be convicted of sins today?! Sun Zuo and the others snorted crookedly and ignored it.

"Zuo Chao! As a prisoner, you have accepted the responsibility of correcting the defects in the bill, how dare you transgress your authority and take care of the case privately without me?! Sun Yan, since you are a prison prisoner, you just need to arrest and arrest him, how can you collude with him and not sue me?! "Wu Tong, as a prison official, accepts the ten evils, six stolen goods, seven crimes and other crimes, and has the power to adjudicate, while Zuo Chao and Sun Yan are just complementary people.

"My lord! Although this official does not have the right to judge the case, Xu Xianglin insulted the daughter of Lord Situ, which is simply not as good as a pig and a dog... Lord Situ ordered me to adjudicate this case today, which is to delegate power to this official, so how can I not try this case? "With Xie Shen's support behind him, Zuo Chao's words are straightforward and carried away." What Lord Zuo said is true, if Lord Wu still feels unfair, why not go to Situ Mansion in person and compete with Lord Xie to tell him right and wrong? Sun Yan scoffed.

"Nonsense! How can it be reasonable to influence the private trial of a case and not report it to justice? You are too bold to do it! This official is now under the order of the prime minister to thoroughly investigate this case, if you continue to act arbitrarily, arbitrarily judge this case, and inflict punishment, don't blame me for playing the prime minister and lowering the responsibility! Presumably, both of them knew about the case and deceived the officials, and caused chaos in prison and lawlessness, what should they be guilty of? ... He deserves to be punished! Do you have three heads and nine lives? Wu Tong was righteous and majestic, and when Sun Zuo and the others heard that the prime minister was also involved in the case, they were a little frightened for a while, and left without saying a word.

Zuo Chao thanked Shen again, Xie Shen was slightly surprised when he heard this, he knew that Fan Yi appreciated Xiang Lin, and wanted to marry his daughter to him, he wanted to take this opportunity to let Fan Yi 'see' Xiang Lin's character, not to rely on it, to disturb the affairs of the two families, and to get rid of the trouble in his heart logically, but Fan Yi trusted him so much, and now he got in the way, so if he wanted to get rid of Xiang Lin again, it would not be so easy.

Xie Shen then called Zhu Yi to discuss countermeasures, Zhu Yi looked embarrassed, in order to get rid of Xiang Lin, he tried his best to get rid of Xiang Lin, first found love medicine, and then set up a Hongmen wine banquet, and ruthlessly used the little girl as bait, which succeeded in framing him, and now Fan Yi is not only not resentful, but also wants to intervene to save him, which really surprised him.

"My lord, now there is Fan Yi in the way, and it will not be easy to kill Xu Xianglin, but... However, the reason why Fan Yi was bent on saving him was out of trust, but in the eyes of the lower officials, Fan Yi was still suspicious of this matter, and his trust in Xu Xianglin was now just a thin piece of paper. Second, Fan Yi was worried about the prime minister's face, for fear that he would fall into an ugly reputation of not knowing people and not knowing good and evil because of this matter. Zhu Yi analyzed the head, Xie Shen stroked his beard and nodded frequently.

"It makes sense, but how can you make that old guy stop trusting him? Do you have a plan? Xie Shen's face was gloomy, Zhu Yi thought for a long time, muttered in his ear, and then said goodbye and left.

The three officials of Jiankang had a dispute over Xiang Lin's case, and they did not make a decision for a long time, but fortunately, Xiang Lin was not whipped and severely beaten by the jailers, and Wu Tong sent the servants of the palace to send meals and bring them back to the situation by the way. Xiang Lin was remorseful, but he was drunk that day, and he couldn't remember who did it or where, but he finally saw the face of the villain who hid the knife in Zhu Yi's uncle's nephew's smile.

"How is Feng Niang depressed?" Zhu Qiaofeng held her chin, sat quietly at the table and was depressed, she didn't say anything for a long time, she didn't talk as much as she used to, and the maid standing on the side asked why. Zhu Qiaofeng got up lazily and paced around, and the maidservant asked again: "Isn't the lady still thinking about that night?" Zhu Qiaofeng sighed, "Chunhong, do you think that Xu Gongzi seems to be a lustful and obscene person?" ”

Chunhong frowned slightly, "Oh lady, as the saying goes, it is difficult to know the face of a person, it is difficult to say that this Xu Gongzi is not an obscene person, not to mention that this person took the opportunity of drunkenness to insult the lady, causing the lady to almost lose her chastity, the slave knows that the lady has a good heart, but such a shameless and inferior disciple should be punished, and the lady is worried about what he does." ”

"That day, my father called you to accompany you in the guest hall, so did you pay attention to his words and deeds?" Zhu Qiaofeng asked, Chunhong thought for a moment, "Hmm... To say that this Xu Gongzi is handsome, among the guests is the most eye-catching, this person is elegant and polite at the banquet, borrowing wine to improvise poems, provoking praise from everyone.. Later..."Chunhong was suddenly stunned as she spoke, her face was embarrassed, and her eyes were looking around.

"What happened??" Zhu Qiaofeng saw her expression change suddenly, and hurriedly asked, Chunhong's panicked eyes were full of fear, and she hesitated for a while before saying, "Slave... The slave maid saw that Zhu Gongzi will.. Pour a packet of what looks like a medicinal powder into a wine cup... Then walked in front of Xu Gongzi to toast..."Zhu Qiaofeng was shocked when he heard this, and then rushed out of the door and went straight to the main hall.

When passing by the west wing, she suddenly saw her father Zhu Yi and her cousin Zhu Li inviting each other in, and after entering the wing, she closed the door tightly.

"As soon as possible, you invite all the people who attended the banquet that day to the public office, so as to prove the crime of insulting Xiang Lin... By the way, no one saw you when you drugged that day, right? ”

"Uncle can rest assured, the guests drank crookedly, no one saw it, and the nephew specially hid the wine cup under the table, and no one noticed the medicine."

The two were still chattering, and Zhu Qiaofeng, who was outside the door, was so shocked that she almost screamed out, and then hurriedly slipped back to the boudoir. Zhu Yi visited Zuo Chao in prison the day before yesterday, and Zuo Chao went to Wu Tong's mansion yesterday to discuss the matter, and compromised to hand over the case to Wu Tong for trial, and it was agreed that the public office would interrogate and try it today.

In the public office, Wu Tong sat in the court, Sun Yanzuochao sat in the small case under the hall, and then the guards escorted Xiang Lin into the hall, and Zhu Yi and a group of people also poured into the hall.

"Master Zhu, where is the love?" Wu Tong glanced around, but Zhu Qiaofeng was missing. Zhu Yi's official position was subordinate, and he stepped forward to worship, "Back to my lord, the little girl was insulted by this person, she was in pain, and she was ashamed to see people, and I hope your lord will forgive me!" Zuo Chao got up and said, "Zhu Niangzi was humiliated by this, and the adults insisted on calling her to ask about the case, could it be that she still wanted to poke her sore spot in front of everyone?" After all, Zhu Niangzi is a woman who has not left the cabinet, so let's save some face for her. Wu Tong didn't want to deal with him, so he gave up.
