After Aunt Liu went out, Wan Lin and others waited for her for a long time, but they didn't see her come back.

"Why hasn't Aunt Liu come back yet?" Wan Lin sensed that something was wrong, and immediately said to Feng Zhongjun and the others vigilantly: "Let's go out and see Aunt Liu, don't have anything happen to her!" ”

Feng Zhongjun didn't dare to delay when he heard this, and hurriedly ran out of the door with Wan Lin with the soldiers sent by King Zhenting and the guards of Dali Temple, and Aunt Liu really disappeared.

"Aunt Liu! Aunt Liu! ”

Wan Lin shouted loudly, but Aunt Liu did not respond.

Wan Lin hurriedly inquired to the guard at the door, "Have you seen where Aunt Liu is going?" What kind of people came to her? ”

The guard replied, "Just now an old couple came looking for her, and my subordinates saw that they went to that alley." ”

"They talk as they talk, what are they going to do in the alley?"

Wan Lin wanted to blame the guards very much, but he thought that the guards couldn't imagine that something would happen to Aunt Liu, so he took back the words that blamed them.

Wan Lin, Feng Zhongjun and others immediately ran to the alley where Aunt Liu went, but when they arrived at the alley, there was no one inside.

Feng Zhongjun frowned worriedly, "Did they rob Aunt Liu?" ”

Wan Lin said angrily: "Is there any end? Do they think that if the witness disappears, they can't convict Cheng Qizhi? ”

Feng Zhongjun said vigilantly: "Nephew, you hurry back to Dali Temple, and we will go to find Aunt Liu." If something happens to her, you follow us to find her, what if you are also hacked? ”

Wan Lin had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go back first, uncle be careful!" ”

Feng Zhongjun continued to lead people to look for Aunt Liu nearby, and Wan Lin reluctantly returned to Dali Temple.

Gu Ze was carefully supported by Bai Yusheng, and when he saw Wan Lin coming back, he asked anxiously, "Where is Aunt Liu?" Didn't you find her? ”

Wan Lin suppressed his anger and replied: "Aunt Liu doesn't know where she went, my uncle is looking for her with someone." ”

When Gu Ze heard this, he also surged with anger, "What? This is too hateful, do they still want to attack Aunt Liu? ”

Fu Xiaojiu said anxiously: "Aunt Liu is eighty years old, if she is a little frightened, her life may be in danger!" ”

Wan Lin said with a cold look in his eyes: "If I catch whoever is hacking the witnesses and my friends again and again, I don't care what his identity is, I will definitely make him pay for his actions!" ”

When everyone was filled with righteous indignation, Feng Zhongjun strode in.

"Uncle, have you found Aunt Liu?"

Wan Lin saw his solemn expression, and his heart sank.

Feng Zhongjun didn't answer, but turned his head.

I saw two officials walking in carrying a person.

"Aunt Liu?" The people of Wan Lin quickly surrounded the past.

Aunt Liu's face was bruised, and there was a purple-red strangulation mark on her neck, and everyone was shocked when they saw her like this.

Fu Xiaojiu and Bai Yusheng went to probe Aunt Liu's snort at the same time, but both of them showed disappointed looks, and then the two of them went to touch her pulse, and then let out a heavy sigh at the same time.

When Wan Lin saw their looks, he knew that they were all out of luck.

Wan Lin blamed himself deeply: "It's all my fault, how can I be so careless and let Aunt Liu go out alone?" I should be with her! ”

Fu Xiaojiu comforted him: "I don't blame you for this, who would have thought that this murderer would dare to act so boldly and recklessly and commit murder at the gate of Dali Temple!" ”

Gu Ze gritted his teeth and said: "This person dares to do this, he really doesn't take Wang Fa in his eyes, he is simply arrogant!" ”

Feng Zhongjun said angrily: "I am going to report this matter to the prince, let him go to face the saint, and tell Your Majesty how rampant Cheng Qizhi's comrades are!" ”

Wan Lin still had to continue to take Gu Ze to testify, but he couldn't go with him, and said to Feng Zhongjun: "Then Uncle Lao will take a trip." ”

Wan Lin comforted Gu Ze again: "Mr. Gu, don't be affected by Aunt Liu's matter, although she was poisoned, but there are still you and other witnesses, Cheng Qizhi can't escape!" ”

Gu Ze also suppressed his anger for the time being, gritted his teeth and said, "I want Cheng Qizhi to pay for his blood debt!" ”

After the confessions of Gu Ze and other witnesses have been approved, Dali Temple can jointly conduct the trial of the three divisions with the Yushitai and the Criminal Department.

Aunt Liu's tragic murder at the gate of Dali Temple made Xing Zhida, the secretary of Dali Temple, shocked and angry.

After he and the officials of Dali Temple saw Wan Lin walking into the lobby of Dali Temple with Gu Ze and other witnesses, they first said: "This official has heard of the tragedy of the Liu family, and this official is deeply saddened for her, and he will definitely seek justice for her!" ”

Wan Lin took a step forward and said earnestly: "When the lower officials investigated the case of Cheng Qizhi's corruption and bribery and oppression of the people, he thought that he could be brought to justice if he found evidence, and the people he oppressed were given justice. But he never thought that he was all detained in Dali Temple, and there were still people who could help and abuse him outside. My lord, this case is more complicated than the lower officials thought, and please Dali Temple must investigate it thoroughly to the end, and you must not condone a sinner! ”

Xing Zhida slapped the shocked wood and said resolutely: "Please rest assured!" No matter who Cheng Qizhi is secretly colluding with, as long as their crimes are discovered, Dali Temple will not tolerate it! ”

After Wan Lin heard Xing Zhida's assurance, he felt a little comforted in his heart.

Gu Ze and the other witnesses all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xing Zhida together: "Please also ask your lord to make the decision for the grass people!" ”

Xing Zhida assured them again: "Don't worry, Dali Temple will call the shots for you!" ”

After speaking, Xing Zhida said to all the officials of Dali Temple: "You have all seen and heard it, right?" The fact that this case has developed to the point where it is today is simply outrageous! We must find out all the people involved in Cheng Qizhi's case, so that we can live up to the trust of Your Majesty and the people in Dali Temple! ”

"Yes!"

The officials of Dali Temple responded with great momentum.

Seeing the determination of all the officials of the Marble Temple, Wan Lin had nothing to worry about.

Because it is now Dali Temple taking over the case, the murder of Aunt Liu will also be investigated by Dali Temple, Wan Lin, as an official of Yushitai, is inconvenient to stay, he asked Bai Yusheng to accompany Gu Ze to stay, and he and Fu Xiaojiu left first.

Out of the door of Dali Temple, Fu Xiaojiu said angrily: "How much effort did we put into protecting Aunt Liu, and we treated her and found a yard for her, and Brother Xu also sent someone to protect her, but she was poisoned under our noses!" I'm so! ”

Wan Lin took her hand and said: "Aunt Liu's matter is just like what you said when you persuaded me just now, we can't imagine that that villain would dare to harm people in front of Dali Temple!" In fact, it's not that we're careless, it's that we underestimate their guts! ”

Fu Xiaojiu made a serious face, "If you say this, there must be a lot of people involved in Cheng Qizhi's case!" And I think there must be a lot of high-powered people who are so bold for fear of endangering themselves! This case is much more complicated than expected! ”

Fu Xiaojiu said that he was worried about Wan Linlai, "Xianggong, before this case is over, you can't take it lightly, Brother Xu hasn't fully recovered yet, let Uncle Zhongjun protect you." ”

Wan Lin said indifferently: "Now that there is such a big commotion, they don't dare to attack me again, otherwise once this person's head is found, no one else is needed, Your Majesty will definitely seek justice for me." ”

Fu Xiaojiu glanced at him, "If something really happens to you, what is the use of Your Majesty seeking justice for you again?" The most important thing is that we should plan ahead. ”

Wan Lin replied obediently: "Okay, I will listen to the lady, I will not let you worry about the family." ”

Fu Xiaojiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Fortunately, Aunt Liu has no relatives in the world, otherwise it would be the New Year, but she had such a thing, which is really worrying!" ”

Wan Lin said with sadness: "When Cheng Qizhi is convicted and executed, let's go to Aunt Liu's grave to comfort her." ”

Fu Xiaojiu nodded silently, hoping that Cheng Qizhi and his comrades could be convicted as soon as possible.

When King Zhenting learned that someone dared to kill a witness in front of the gate of Dali Temple, he was so angry that he slapped the table and immediately entered the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

When the emperor heard that Wan Lin and others had found the kidnapped witnesses and contacted other witnesses to testify, he was very happy, but when he heard the report of King Zhenting, he was so angry that he almost flipped the table.

How can that be? Who would dare to act so boldly? Not only did he not take Dachen's law into account, but he also didn't take me and the court officials seriously! ”

King Zhenting said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the minister is going to say something that you don't like to hear." You should still be prepared, the identity of the person who helped Cheng Qizhi outside is probably beyond your imagination, and this case may cause turmoil in the government and the opposition. ”

King Zhenting's words gave the emperor a blow to the head, he thought of this after listening to King Zhenting's report, and now that he heard King Zhenting say it directly, his heart was even more bitter.

"OBANG, you are one of the few people who dares to tell me the truth. Thy words are in my ears and in my heart. I am ready, no matter who this person is, as long as I find out, I will never be merciful! ”

King Zhen Ting understands the emperor's character, and he can almost do this if he can say so.

Regarding the person who was close to Cheng Qizhi in private and was so bold, King Zhenting also made his own inference, but he didn't know if his inference would be accurate.

The emperor issued holy decrees to Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Tower, telling them not to care about anything, just investigate the case.

No matter who is found, don't be appeased, let alone have any concerns, if they dare not move, they will report it to the emperor, and the emperor will deal with it personally.

With the support of the emperor's decree, all the officials of the various ministries have no burden and dare to let go of their hands and feet to investigate the case.
