"You are the crown prince and a nobleman, but if he killed my father, I should pay for my father's life!" Du Ziyu looked at the crown prince Chu Zheng resentfully, her eyes splitting.

Fei Shangshu pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Du, is there any evidence for what you said?" ”

Although the whole thing sounds like the cause and effect are very smooth, whether it is true or not requires evidence.

After all, the person Du Ziyu sued was the crown prince.

"I have proof!" When Du Ziyu said, he took out a stack of paper from his arms, "The silver sent to the border over the years has been recorded clearly. ”

Fei Shangshu, as the presiding judge, took over the "physical evidence" inspection first.

"This is what my father wrote down when he went to visit him." Du Ziyu explained again. Just by looking at the paper, you can tell that it was written recently.

After Fei Shangshu read it, he handed it over to the inner attendant to present it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed Du Yancai's handwriting. But what is recorded in it still needs to be checked. "Fei Shangshu is cautious and speaks without leakage.

The handwriting is good, but whether what is recorded on it is true or false, he will not easily draw conclusions.

The emperor looked at the physical evidence presented, and his face suddenly sank, and more than half of the disaster relief silver allocated to Huzhou every year was sent to the border pass!

Although the border also needs silver, it can't be used behind his back to move public funds!

Moreover, was the silver sent to the border gate, or to the prince's private treasury?

"Prince, what do you say?"

Everyone could hear that the emperor's tone was not good, and it seemed that the emperor had already believed most of the physical evidence presented.

In the past, Du Yancai was determined to die, and then there was Du Yancai's daughter Jin Dian, who was wronged, and the human and material evidence was there, and even the emperor was angry, and the crown prince Chu Zheng was probably finished......

Embezzling public funds and framing Zhongliang, what kind of punishment will such a prince receive?

In the blink of an eye, everyone present didn't know how much speculation there was.

After all, the crown prince Chu Zheng is the emperor's own son, and these charges will not be dead, but in front of everyone's eyes, this matter will definitely not be over.

I'm afraid that the East Palace is going to change masters......

The position of the crown prince was in jeopardy, and many people were ecstatic for a while.

At the emperor's suggestion, the chamberlain handed the physical evidence to the crown prince Chu Zheng. Chu Zheng didn't look at it, he knew in his heart whether this physical evidence was true or false.

"Fei Shangshu has finished the trial?" Chu Zheng's tone was calm, without any sense of panic.

Fei Shangshu thought for a moment before replying respectfully: "The details still need to be verified." ”

He has never been involved in factional struggles, and whether this matter is true or not, he does not want to offend anyone, including the crown prince. Although the current situation is very unfavorable for the crown prince, it cannot be completely affirmed that the prince is guilty.

Chu Zheng's eyes were slightly cold, "Fei Shangshu has finished the review, but the palace still has questions." His Majesty ordered, Du Yancai was escorted back to Beijing, and the Du family's family was temporarily detained in the government prison of Huzhou Mansion, why did Miss Du appear in the capital? ”

Fei Shangshu was stunned, yes, the Du family's family members should be locked up in Huzhou Prison at this moment, how could they appear in the capital?

It was his negligence, Du Yan died in prison a few days ago, for this matter, he was dizzy, and he actually ignored such an important point - a female prisoner who should have been locked up in the prison appeared here, this kind of behavior is equivalent to escaping from prison.

Du Ziyu appeared in front of people, and this matter itself was problematic.

"This ...... It's the lower officials who are negligent......"

Fei Shangshu was very embarrassed and embarrassed, because he had been a criminal department secretary for so many years, he had ignored such important information. Then he immediately asked: "Miss Du, you should be in prison, why did you come to the capital?" Did you break from jail? ”

"I didn't break from prison!" Du Ziyu blurted out.

At this time, Huo Sijin stood up, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, Changjin knows a little about this matter. Miss Du is Du Yancai's daughter, and she should have been taken into custody at the same time, but at that time, the official reported that Miss Du had been sent to the temple to become a monk, and the law stipulated that the person who became a monk would not be implicated by the family, so she was not included in the detention. ”

"It's just that now it seems that this is not the case, I think it was the Du family who bought the servants." Huo Sijin pointed to Du Ziyu's thick black hair.

Sent to the temple to become a monk, but the hair is still there, which family is this.

Huo Sijin sighed in her heart, it was also her fault, the Du family sent their daughter to the temple just to avoid it temporarily, and they didn't plan to really let her become a monk, she had actually guessed this a long time ago. It's just that she thought that Du Ziyu was just a weak woman, and she might not know what her father was doing, since she was pushing the boat down the river now, it didn't hurt to let her go with one eye open.

was soft-hearted for a while, but he didn't expect it to bring today's disaster.

In this way, she should not be soft-hearted.

She said to herself in her heart: Huo Sijin, Huo Sijin, why don't you have a long memory? If you are soft-hearted to others, others may not be the same for you, haven't you experienced enough of being bitten back by others?

"Changjin also has a question, from Huzhou to the capital, thousands of miles away, Miss Du, a weak woman alone, how did she arrive in the capital safe and sound? And also successfully entered the well-guarded prison? Changjin remembered that His Majesty had instructed that Du Yan was the culprit, and no one was allowed to visit him without the will of His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Fei Shangshu's face was like a vegetable, he was really dizzy, he actually missed so many doubts, Du Ziyu walked to the capital alone and unharmed, how could it be possible without a pusher behind him?

Among the doubts, Fei Shangshu didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately accused: "The prison guards are unfavorable, and it is a dereliction of duty on behalf of Weichen." ”

"Of course you're derelict in your duties." It was Chu Zheng who took the words, "It is a dereliction of duty to let outsiders go to prison, and it is even more dereliction of duty to be killed." ”

Fei Shangshu's face turned pale, and he was convicted of poor supervision. He tried his best to calm himself down, but fortunately, he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, do you mean that Du Yancai did not commit suicide?" Instead, they were killed? ”

In the end, he has been a scholar of the criminal department for many years, and he has captured the voice of the prince.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, Du Yan was the one he killed? How so?

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for his courage, do you have any evidence to prove that Du Yan was killed? Who killed him? Fei Shangshu hurriedly asked.

If Du Yancai did not commit suicide, then the authenticity of the suicide note remains to be verified, and even the physical evidence presented by Du Ziyu is not necessarily true.

Fei Shangshu has encountered a lot of ups and downs in cases, but it is the first time he has encountered such a big wave, and he can't help but feel excited. If Chu Zheng had evidence in his hands, then this matter would have undergone a shocking reversal. And the case may soon be closed.

Fei Shangshu was not the only one who was excited, all the courtiers looked at each other in surprise, and even the emperor, who was still calm, changed his expression, looked at Chu Zheng directly, just waiting for him to come up with evidence.

Chu Zheng's expression did not change, and he asked lightly, "What kind of poison did Du Yancai die from?" ”

Fei Shangshu replied: "It's aconitum." ”

"Aconitum is highly poisonous, and it can't be bought in ordinary herb shops, where did Miss Du get it?"

As soon as he heard Chu Zheng say it, Fei Shangshu wanted to slap his thigh, is he a pig brain? How can you even ignore this?

"Miss Du, where did the aconitum come from?" Fei Shangshu turned to question Du Ziyu, this time Fei Shangshu's tone unconsciously carried a bit of the majesty of the presiding judge. Seeing the prince's unhurried and confident appearance, Fei Shangshu had a hunch in his heart that what the prince said was true, and this Du Ziyu was full of lies and put them together.

In the court, although Fei Shangshu has always been neutral and does not offend people easily, this does not mean that he will be willing to be manipulated. Du Ziyu put him on the same side, and also caused him to be charged with poor supervision, he would not be generous as if it had never happened.

"Where did you get it? Or ......" Fei Shangshu paused, and then said meaningfully, "Or did someone give it to you?" ”

A touch of panic flashed on her little face, and Du Ziyu hurriedly blurted out: "I bought it myself!" ”

Hearing this, Fei Shangshu suddenly had a bottom in his heart, this Du Ziyu really put him along.

Clichés are a useful trick when he tries cases. Du Ziyu said that she bought it herself, but in fact it was not, someone behind her instructed her to frame the prince.
