It was no one else who dared to "stand up" at this time, it was the most prestigious Yuan Pavilion elder of the dynasty.

The sudden voice of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion surprised the emperor very much.

In his impression, Cheng Qizhi worked as an errand under the old Yuange, did he want to intercede for Cheng Qizhi for the friendship back then?

The emperor looked at him with doubts and asked, "Elder Ge, are you speaking for Cheng Qizhi?" ”

The elder of the Yuan Pavilion stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not speaking for Cheng Qizhi, the old minister thinks that Cheng Qizhi cannot be convicted by relying on the words of Lord Wan, and Your Majesty should still be aware of it." ”

The words of the elder of the pavilion made the emperor a little displeased, and the emperor couldn't help but say: "Elder pavilion, I have not taken it upon myself to condemn Cheng Qizhi. Wan Lin came up with conclusive evidence, and I also asked Dali Temple to try the case. Whether Cheng Qizhi is guilty or not, and what kind of crime he has, will naturally be known at that time. ”

What else did the elder of the Yuan Pavilion want to say, but the emperor had already stood up, "This matter will be handled by Dali Temple, let's retreat from the dynasty!" ”

After speaking, the emperor brushed his sleeves and left.

Wu Xuehai walked to the side of Yuan Ge Lao at this time, and asked puzzledly: "Ge Lao, why are you wading into troubled waters at this time?" ”

The elder of the Yuan Pavilion just waved his hand and did not speak.

Wan Lin exposed Cheng Qizhi's crime in the hall today, and everyone couldn't help but be impressed by him, but not everyone thought of coming over to slap him, because some people were afraid that he would offend not only Cheng Qizhi, but also many officials who had deals with Cheng Qizhi.

Wan Lin was walking outside the hall, and most of them just threw admiring glances at him when they passed by him, but few people spoke to him.

Even Lu Changzhi, Song Xiuneng, Gui Sinian and others did not stop by his side.

However, King Zhenting, Dou Xianxu, and Dou Xianji all came over to walk side by side with him.

Dou Xian continued to say: "Master Wan, I didn't expect you to be so responsible at a young age, and promised your friend to help his father and mother avenge Zhaoxue, so you really went to find out Cheng Qizhi's crime. ”

Wan Lin said humbly: "The lower officials were already in the Imperial Historical Tower, and it is the duty of the lower officials to supervise the hundred officials. ”

Dou Xianji said: "Although your responsibility is here, your responsibility and courage are really admirable!" ”

King Zhenting also said: "Wan Lin, you can expose Cheng Qizhi to Your Majesty in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military today, it is true that not everyone can do it. Although this case is now handed over to Dali Temple for trial, you can go to Dali Temple to ask about the progress when you are fine. At that time, it may also need to be interrogated by the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai. ”

Dou Xianji continued: "If someone who was involved with Cheng Qizhi during the trial of this case came to stumble on you, even if you came to the old man, the old man would not let people obstruct justice." ”

"Thank you Lord Hou for your help." Wan Lin said politely.

Dou Xianji stretched his beard and said with a proud smile: "Hehehe, don't be so polite to the old man, the old man has not seen a young official with courage and responsibility like you for a long time, if there are more young officials like you, Your Majesty, why is he so tired that it makes people feel distressed!" ”

Dou Xian continued to finish, and Dou Xian continued: "I didn't expect that the Yuan Pavilion Elder would speak for Cheng Qizhi, they had only worked together for a short time before, could it be that the Yuan Pavilion Elder would miss the old like this?" Or does he secretly have something to do with Cheng Qizhi? ”

Dou Xianji said with a mocking face: "How kind do you think the Yuan Pavilion Elder is that he can intercede for a person who has only worked under him for a while?" He must have had his own calculations. ”

Dou Xian continued to nod and said, "I think he's really old and confused, right?" Speaking for Cheng Qizhi like this, isn't it obvious that people suspect that he has a relationship with Cheng Qizhi? ”

Wan Lin listened to them and didn't interject, because he also knew that the Yuan Pavilion Elders must be speaking for Cheng Qizhi for some reason, but in front of these three high-powered big people, he didn't dare to talk about it, anyway, there was Dali Temple to investigate the case, and he would have his own judgment when the time came.

Seeing that Wan Lin did not participate in the discussion of the Dou family brothers, King Zhenting praised him for doing so.

A few people were walking forward, and Wu Xuehai and Yuan Ge Lao also came over.

The Dou brothers glanced at them together, and Dou Xian continued: "See, these two people didn't know what they were discussing just now, don't think about fishing out Cheng Qizhi." ”

Dou Xianji pursed his lips, "Hmph, they want to be beautiful!" Cheng Qizhi was personally ordered by the emperor to be handed over to Dali Temple, and they fished out Cheng Qizhi unless they wanted to rebel! ”

King Zhenting also said: "I guess they shouldn't have such courage, at most they are trying to find a way to pick themselves and Cheng Qizhi clearly, right?" ”

Dou Xian continued to ask questioningly: "The elders of the Yuan Pavilion have spoken for Cheng Qizhi in front of His Majesty, how do he still want to clean it up?" ”

King Zhenting's tone was quite helpless, "He is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he has such a deep foundation in the court, there will always be a way for him." ”

When a few people were talking, Yuan Ge Lao and Wu Xuehai looked over at the same time.

The eyes of both of them were a little complicated, and the eyes of the elder of the Yuan Pavilion focused on Wan Lin for a moment before moving away.

Dou Xianxu rolled his eyelids dissatisfied, "What kind of eyes are they?" ”

After Dou Xian finished speaking, he glared back at the two of them.

Dou Xianji said stiffly: "We don't have to be like them, if they dare to make any small moves to Wan Daren, we will pay it back several times!" ”

Wan Lin didn't expect Dou Xianji and Dou Xianxu to help him so much, and they had a better impression of the two of them than before.

Wan Lin was going to Dali Temple to hand over affairs, and when he walked out of the palace gate, he was going to separate from the three of them, and King Zhenting said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I will accompany you to Dali Temple." ”

Wan Lin knew that King Zhenting was worried about his safety, so he thanked him very appreciatively: "There is Lord Lao." ”

Dou Xianxu also wanted to accompany Wan Lin to Dali Temple, but with King Zhenting accompanying him, he didn't have to follow the fun, and the brothers left.

Although Dou Xianxu's family affair with the Zhenting King family did not succeed, when he spoke to the Zhenting King just now, his tone was natural, and there seemed to be no suspicion, and the Zhenting King secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

King Zhenting could see that Dou Xianxu was dissatisfied at the housewarming banquet of Wanlin's house yesterday, but he didn't show much obviousness, and now seeing his attitude towards himself, King Zhenting also had a changed impression of Dou Xianxu.

He had always thought that Dou Xianxu had borrowed the light of Dou Xianji and Yun Guifei to sit in the position of the head of the household, and he had no ability.

But after so many years, Dou Xianxu has done a fairly good job in this household department, although someone under his hand has had an accident, but it has nothing to do with him, because he has no worries about food and clothing, and his family is well-off, so he is not very greedy.

King Zhen suddenly felt that the people on the side of the Zhaowang Party did not seem to have as much real power as the people on the side of the Jiewang Party, but their character seemed to be stronger than them.

If King Zhao really became the prince, it might be a good thing.

Wan Lin went to Dali Temple and handed over the evidence in his hand to Lord Xing of Dali Temple.

Lord Xing personally took over the evidence in Wan Lin's hand, and when he saw the things in his hand, Lord Xing said with guilt: "Lord Wan has worked hard these days, this case should have been involved in Dali Temple at the beginning, but you were all busy alone." ”

Wan Lin smiled and said, "Aren't you helping the subordinate now?" Cheng Qizhi's case will be in charge of Dali Temple from now on, and Lord Xing and all the adults of Dali Temple will have to work hard. ”

Lord Xing said: "This is what our Dali Temple should do, how dare you say that it is hard?" ”

Wan Lin asked, "Do you need to stay behind to help you clean up Cheng Qizhi's crimes?" ”

Lord Xing shook his head and said, "Don't bother Lord Wan." These things are what Dali Temple should do, so go and get busy. ”

Wan Lin arched his hand and said: "Yes, then the lower official will retire first." ”

After Wan Lin left Dali Temple, King Zhenting sent him back to Yushitai.

Gui Sinian saw that Wan Lin was back, and greeted him very warmly, "Lord Wan, you are really the face of our Yushitai today!" I really admire and feel guilty to see you exposing Cheng Qizhi in front of His Majesty, the old man was actually deceived by him, and even felt that he was a good official who was honest and honest. If you hadn't discovered his crime in time, I'm afraid that Yushitai would have been ridiculed. ”

Wan Lin didn't know what deal Gui Sinian had with Cheng Qizhi, he really thought that Gui Sinian was deceived by Cheng Qizhi, and he said that he was indeed thanking himself.

Wan Lin said politely: "My lord is serious, Xia Guan was only entrusted by a friend to start investigating Cheng Qizhi's crime, but he didn't expect to confirm all his criminal evidence." ”

After Gui Sinian praised Wan Lin, he got down to business: "You said in front of Your Majesty that you still have a few witnesses, where are those witnesses?" ”

Wan Lin replied frankly: "Some of them are in other places, and some are in the capital. ”

Gui Sinian hurriedly said: "Then these witnesses must also be prepared to testify against Cheng Qizhi, otherwise there will be many dreams at night, and I don't know what will happen." ”

Wan Lin replied: "What you said is that I will let them go to Dali Temple to testify against Cheng Qizhi in the past two days." ”

Gui Sinian smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, you're busy, just open your mouth if you need an old man."

Wan Lin was busy in the morning, and in the afternoon, he went to ask Fu Xiaojiu to send a message to Gu Ze, asking Gu Ze to rush back as soon as possible.

Wan Lin personally went to Aunt Liu and told her that Cheng Qizhi had been escorted to Dali Temple to prepare for trial, and she would go to Dali Temple to testify tomorrow, so that she didn't have to be afraid of anything, as long as she told the truth about Cheng Qizhi's crimes.

Aunt Liu thanked Wan Lin for her kindness, and moved the old tears.

Gu Ze just left the capital and didn't go far, and received a letter from Fu Xiaojiu in the evening.

Gu Ze couldn't help but be very excited when he learned that Cheng Qizhi was escorted to Dali Temple for trial, and rushed back to the capital overnight in order to come back to testify against him quickly.

Gu Ze arrived when the city gate was just opened, but he didn't expect that someone was already standing at the city gate waiting for him.

"You're Mr. Gu, right?" A man who looked like a scholar asked.

Gu Ze replied politely: "It's Gu Ze below!" Who are you? ”

The man replied: "Below is the scribe of the Imperial Historical Observatory, who was ordered by the Lord Wan to take you to Dali Temple to testify." ”
