Although King Lin's wisdom and strategy are not as good as those of the prince and King Yi, he is not stupid, and he understands all the meanings of Lin Han's words.

The two hit it off, reached the same camp at the moment, and began to discuss how to deal with Jiang Chuge and solve the crisis caused by Liu Hu.

At that time, Jiang Chuge, who did not know that he had been betrayed by Lin Han, once again read and sorted out all the evidence in the Criminal Division, and called the messenger to ask the deputy envoy Lin Han to come and discuss her next move.

However, the messenger went for a long time, and when he came back, he told him that after Lin Han came to the division this morning, he went out again, but at this moment, he has not returned.

As for the specific whereabouts, Lin Han did not take the initiative to say, and they did not dare to ask.

Jiang Chuge was not suspicious because of this, and just ordered the messenger to inform him to come to see her after Lin Han returned, and sent the person away.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chuge took the codex she wrote on the desk, took the two of them to the prison of the Criminal Division.

Inside the prison, the people of the Liu Mansion are still all locked up inside, from top to bottom.

When they saw someone coming, they kept crying out or wronging, or forgiving their sins, or sparing their lives.

If you knew today, why did you help the abuse in the first place?

Jiang Chuge sighed in his heart, and after rushing to see her coming, he followed the cell head beside him and ordered: "Release all the families and nursing homes of the Liu Mansion, and leave only Liu Hu and his housekeeper." But...... Before they were released, they were to be punished with eighty rods each. ”

These men have done many evil things with the evil lord, and eighty rods are considered light.

But after they had been detained for nearly half a month, Jiang Chuge slightly reduced his punishment.

"Yes, sir."

With so many people guarding every day, my ears are filled with all kinds of wails, and the cell head has long been tortured and mentally exhausted.

Seeing that Jiang Chuge decided to release him, he should go down at the right time.

It's so fast, it's never been more positive.

Under the leadership of the cell leader, Jiang Chuge and the three of them soon arrived outside the cell where Liu Hu was being held.

"Master Jiang, how is the case investigated?"

Liu Hu, who was unkempt and had dirty clothes, was dozing off against the wall, but Jiang Chuge and his party suddenly appeared in his sight.

He got up excitedly and rushed to the cell door, asking expectantly.

"It's being investigated."

Jiang Chuge was concise and to the point, and then said: "Liu Hu, no matter what kind of purpose you have for taking the initiative to report this group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, there is one thing that this official wants to tell you that with just a few account books and notebooks, as well as some side supporting evidence, you want to convict the court officials who have reached the highest official position or even the second rank...... Hard! ”

From that night in Liu's Mansion, the analysis of her and Lou Song's words, this person can sit firmly in the position of the third grade of the Ministry of Industry, and the means and abilities are by no means lacking, and his eloquence is not weak.

If there is any slight loophole in the evidence, he will be arrested to quibble and even get rid of the crime.

In the end, she, the criminal officer who is the fourth grade of the big trial, will get into trouble.

"My lord, although the grass people reported Lou Song and others with a sense of revenge, what the grass people said is absolutely not false. The women...... They were all specially searched by the grass people in order to please them, and both the grass people and the housekeeper could testify, but they died at the hands of Lou Song, Han Xiao, Yan Jun, and Gu Yihua. ”

Liu Hu saw that Jiang Chuge's words were full of helplessness from Lou Song and the others, and he reached out angrily and grabbed the wooden pole of the prison door, his haggard face was full of eagerness, and his gloomy eyes were even more smeared with unwillingness.

When he didn't intend to betray Lou Song and the others, they wanted to take his life.

Now that he has come to this point, he has already made up his mind to break the net.

If these people can't be convicted, no matter whether Jiang Chuge finally sentences him to death because of those women who were not killed, they will not let him go.

Since it is destined to die......

"My lord, you must not come here simply to tell the grass people that you are not completely sure that Lou Song and other officials will be punished, right?"

Liu Hu is not a dull person, and after a little calm, he thought of this.

Seeing him say this, Jiang Chuge looked at the cell boss behind him and the two messengers who came with her: "You guys stand down for the time being, you are not allowed to let anyone approach here without the permission of this official." ”

"Yes."

The three of them spoke in unison and quickly retreated.

When the footsteps were far away, until they couldn't hear it, Jiang Chuge looked at Liu Hu again: "But anyone who has done something wrong, no matter how strong his heart is, it is impossible not to have a trace of fear. Liu Hu, this official wants you to cooperate with this official to perform a play, if you can succeed, this official will try his best to exempt you from the death penalty, but the living crime is still inescapable. ”

"Lord Xie, the grass people will do their best to cooperate with you."

When Liu Hu heard that Jiang Chuge said the words to exempt him from capital crimes, he was surprised for a moment, came back to his senses, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

After experiencing being assassinated by people from the same camp, Liu Hu has long lost his former sharpness and arrogance, and his heart and personality are a lot calmer.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

What he has done, and what he owes, must be paid by himself.

"But the ruler does according to the law."

Although Liu Hu was one of the murderers who killed those innocent women, it was indirect.

But because of the seriousness of the circumstances, according to the law, he should be sentenced to death.

However, he was able to reduce part of his culpability for his meritorious report, so he was exempted from the death penalty, but he was still sentenced to 3,000 li of exile, the highest rank of exile, and to serve as a coolie in the army.

And the four of Lou Song can only pay for their crimes with death, and there is no other way.

Jiang Chuge sighed slightly in his heart, and said, "This official will set up a bureau to let Lou Song and the others mess up and send someone to assassinate you again." At that time, the officer will try to get you stabbed by them, but not your life. Afterwards, the official will announce that you have been stabbed to death......"

After Jiang Chuge explained everything to Liu Hu, as soon as he came out of the prison of the Criminal Division, he saw Lin Han walking towards her in the distance, frowning, as if he had encountered some problem.

When Lin Han left King Lin's mansion, he took a shortcut and returned to the Punishment Division as quickly as possible, but he heard from the messenger that Jiang asked him to go to see her as soon as he returned.

Seeing Lin Han like this, Jiang Chuge subconsciously thought that something had happened in the division.

"Jiang Ti Punishment~"

Suddenly hearing Jiang Chuge's voice, Lin Han, who was thinking about things, suddenly raised his head, and the sound he made seemed to be frightened.

"Deputy Envoy Lin, are you alright?"

Jiang Chuge frowned slightly, how could this Lin Han look like he was shocked by her?

"It's okay, we're just thinking about it."

Lin Han explained in a disguised way, and then asked Jiang Chuge: "I heard that the messenger said that Jiang Ti was looking for me, I don't know what happened?" ”

"I originally planned to discuss with you the trial of Liu Hu's case of reporting official corruption, but now I have a way to deal with it."

Jiang Chuge smiled lightly, and then planned to leave past Lin Han.

However, Lin Han suddenly reached out to stop him when she passed by him.

Immediately, he seemed to sense that something was wrong, and in Jiang Chuge's meaningful sight, he suddenly withdrew his hand, faced Jiang Chuge, opened his mouth with a look of remorse, and even claimed to be a subordinate official.

"Lord Jiang, the lower officials have been disrespectful to you in the past, and now they regret not being ...... at the beginning."

"Deputy Envoy Lin, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, I won't take those past things to heart, and you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Jiang Chuge interrupted Lin Han, the two were in the same company, many things had to cooperate with each other, Lin Han was willing to let go of his prejudices, although it was a little sudden, but it was a good thing after all.

Seeing Jiang Chuge say this, Lin Han breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he could gain Jiang Chuge's trust, the next thing would be much easier.

Thinking of this, his slightly drooping eyelids quickly crossed a trace of cruel calculation, and then raised his head, but his eyes were already full of respect and sincerity.

"In this way, the lower officials thank you for your leniency......"

He arched his hand at Jiang Chuge, and his face was moved: "I just heard that the lord has a strategy to try several officials who were reported by Liu Hu, I don't know if it can be useful to get up and down the officials?" ”

"It's nature! But this is not the place to speak, and when we get back to the council chamber, you and I will discuss again. ”

Jiang Chuge smiled slightly, then turned around and walked in front of him, heading towards the Criminal Division. Lin Han hurriedly followed.

The prison under the Criminal Investigation Division was not located in the same place as the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Division, and Jiang Chuge and the others returned to the department after about half a burnt incense.

As soon as he returned to the division, Lin Han took the initiative to go to the conference hall again to discuss the trial of the case.

After entering the conference hall, Jiang Chuge had not yet spoken, but he took the lead again, and he was a little impatient.

In the face of Lin Han's excessive initiative again and again, even with his previous so-called remorse, Jiang Chuge couldn't help but have concerns in his heart.

In line with the mentality that there must be a demon when something goes wrong, in the discussion with Lin Han, Jiang Chuge left some thoughts, and did not reveal her real interrogation method to him.

She only told Lin Han that she had obtained new evidence from Liu Hu and would enter the palace this afternoon to meet with her, ask for the detention of Lou Song and several other court officials, and the trial will begin tomorrow.

As for the specifics, he refused to elaborate on the grounds that he had an agreement with Liu Hu.

In this way, all you have to do is watch tonight.

If Lin Han has a problem, Liu Hu will be in danger tonight.

If he has no problem, she will think of another way to lure Lou Song and other officials involved in the case to send assassins to assassinate Liu Hu.

After the discussion, after Jiang Chuge left the conference hall, she went straight to the study where she handled affairs in the department, summoned a credible officer, and ordered him to secretly inquire about the personalities of Lou Song, Han Xiao, Yan Jun, and Gu Yihua.

After the errand left, Jiang Chuge prepared to write a recital and left the Criminal Division.

Because it was noon, and considering that it was very likely that she would not see the emperor at this time, she ate a bowl of noodles in a roadside shop before slowly heading to the palace.

In less than four moments, Jiang Chuge appeared in front of the palace gate.

The guards on duty at the gate of the palace recognized her, and after she explained her intentions, one of them entered to report for her.

The news was passed layer by layer and sent down layer by layer, Jiang Chuge saw a little father-in-law running towards the gate of the palace, announcing her visit, it was already half an hour later.

"Lord Jiang, the emperor is waiting for you in Haitang Palace, please go with the minions."

The little father-in-law bent over Jiang Chuge and said quite respectfully.

"Begonia Palace?"

Because of the experience of being framed once, Jiang Chuge couldn't help but question.

Why did the emperor choose the harem when he saw the courtiers?

"Lord Jiang doesn't have to worry, Haitang Palace is the residence of Concubine Rou Niangniang and the two princesses. When Gong Chen reported the news that you entered the palace to ask to see, it happened that the emperor accompanied Concubine Rou Niangniang in Haitang Palace, Princess Le Tao heard that you were coming, and insisted on seeing you, because you were a daughter, the emperor promised Her Royal Highness the princess, and saw you in Haitang Palace, not the imperial study. ”

After the little eunuch explained, Jiang Chuge's doubts dissipated, followed him, and finally arrived at Haitang Palace after about half an hour.

The little eunuch led Jiang Chuge to the gate of the Begonia Palace and retreated, and was led in by a higher level of palace people.

Not long after, Jiang Chuge saw the emperor, Concubine Rou, and the two little princesses in the main hall of Haitang Palace.

At this time, the emperor was accompanying Concubine Rou to admire a herb planted in a flower pot, which was quite beautiful and extremely brightly colored.

Seeing that Jiang Chuge was coming, he wanted to kneel down and salute, so he waved his big hand and said, "Excuse me." Jiang Ti Xing, what I said to you about the exemption from kneeling in front of the emperor is not a casual remark, if you take it so inappropriately, I will take it back with the gold medal for avoiding death. ”

The emperor's expression was slightly serious, and there was a bit of seriousness in his tone.
