I stood silent, looking awkward.

Li Jian glanced at me and said, "Why are you depressed?" ”

Chen Shu replied, "A few days ago, the fourth son of the Gu family said a lot of heartless words to her. ”

Li Jianran said, "If I were in his position, I would do the same." ”

"I'm just worried, after all, although I didn't go directly to prison, isn't this house arrest?" I said, "But fortunately, the British public is very thoughtful, and my previous investigation along the way is very fruitful." ”

"Since he treats you with no mercy, you are still thinking about him?" Li Jianqi said.

"It's not just about thinking about it," Chen Shu smiled evilly, "and I have to stew a cup of white pears a day for people to take to the barracks." ”

"First of all, what we are doing now must be for his sake; Secondly, I don't want to recall what he said to me, after all, once people are immersed in sad emotions, they will inevitably make mistakes in what they say and do. Finally, the autumn was dry, and he had only been heard coughing occasionally on the road. I said.

Li Jian was even more surprised, this little woman is really not simple.

This time the court seemed to have exhausted Li Jian's vitality, and in the next twenty days, not only did he not go to the court again, but even rumors spread that the palace was already preparing for Shoucai to prepare for a white affair.

And the people have not been peaceful recently, the rumors in the streets and alleys are boiling, the Gu family army, which has been resisting the invasion of Beirong, has been openly treason with the enemy, and many high-ranking generals are involved, so that the entire Gu family army is now closely monitored, and even the families of those officers and generals are imprisoned in their respective homes and are not allowed to come out and move around.

But what is even more alarming is that Murong Qin, the Marquis of Chengguo, who had just attacked the king and came to Beijing from the south for many days, was rumored to have been assassinated and seriously injured, and he would not survive.

But there are also happy people, such as Prime Minister Cao Ren, as the investigation of Gu Jiajun's case deepens, the joy between his eyebrows becomes more and more obvious, especially after the intervention of Dali Temple, everyone can realize from his expression that the evidence found is not good for the Gu family.

But with the prestige of the Gu family and the reputation of the British Duke in the court, no one wants to believe that the Gu family would do such a rebellious thing.

After another seven days, the Criminal Department temporarily detained the Gu family father and son, and submitted a clue report to the authorities, but the review of the case and the results were not clear, and there was only one sentence, which still needed further interrogation.

Therefore, Dali Temple can only bite the bullet to open the trial of this can be called the first major case of the "British public enemy case", in which Zhengqing Qiu is sitting on the throne, looking at the people outside the door, are indignant in order to take in the Gu family, in addition, the long-lost official Li Jian sat behind the hall to hear the trial, and all the princes and officials above the third grade were also arranged to supervise, he even had an unnatural expression on his face.

"Actually, I think the reason why his face is so ugly is because it is his in-laws and his son-in-law who are being tried in the court." Sun Jichen, who was hiding in the shadows with me, whispered.

"Where did this gossip come from?"

"You don't know? Qiu Zhen'er, the only daughter of Qiu Zheng, the secretary of Dali Temple, is the wife of Gu Chenyao, the third son of the British Mansion," Sun Jichen stared outside without looking back, "But I heard that the girl of the Qiu family insisted on marrying Gu Sanlang back then, but Qiu Zhengqing resolutely disagreed, and made trouble for a while, and now she doesn't have a good face when she sees her son-in-law." ”

"Then will this Qiu Zhengqing declare a personal vendetta?" I'm a little worried.

"No, Qiu Zhengqing's reputation for honesty and selflessness is well-known in China. And the last time we went to the British Mansion, the third young lady of the Gu family was pregnant, and the month was not small, so this father would not care about his daughter's life or death. Sun Jichen said, and asked me rhetorically, "Sister Bingran, are you coping with it?" ”

I was just about to answer, when a familiar and underwhelming voice came from behind me, "Even if she can't handle it, plus a few of us can handle it." ”

Sun Jichen and I looked back and were overjoyed.

This time, the people who once shared difficulties in Dingyan City will have to overcome the difficulties together.

Qiu Zheng struck a shock, and at the bottom of the hall knelt the Gu family in prison uniforms, their prison uniforms were not clean, and there were faint traces of blood - these were the scars left by the killing rod that every prisoner would suffer after being taken into custody.

"Gu Ye, you insist that the Gu family has never fornicated with Beirong, but how can this letter be explained, and how can you prove that this is a forgery?"

Such a question is actually difficult to answer, after all, it is much easier to prove that a person has not done anything than to prove what he has done, but Gu Ye's answer is not stupid, "I don't know where this person who took out the letter is, Gu Mou is not afraid of shadows, and he is willing to confront him face to face!" ”

King Yi sneered, "Gu Ye, this king really brought this witness to you, I think you won't forget his face!" ”

Sun Zhongjing let out a breath of air, and looked at us with a "tragic" face, "Everyone, bless me to leave Dali Temple alive!" ”

"Hurry up and testify, it's still nonsense!" Except for Sun Jichen, the remaining three all shouted in a low voice.

Sun Jichen was stunned for a while, "My second brother ...... him"

Sun Zhongjing's posture was quite enchanting, and he walked to the center of the lobby: "Grass people, Sun Zhongjing knocks on Qiu Zhengqing of Dali Temple!" ”

The onlookers immediately exclaimed

"Wow, this guy is so beautiful!"

"It's just a national beauty! Isn't he a man? ”

……

Qiu Zheng is the Dali Siqing in the end, his face does not change, and his heart does not skip a beat, "Sun Zhongjing, what is your identity?" ”

"Me? I'm a traveling doctor. ”

Yi Wang added on the side at this time: "He is also the doctor who went to the north to detoxify before. ”

Qiu Zheng suddenly felt a little more respectful, "Oh? Did you present this epistle? ”

"Lord Hui, exactly."

"Where do you get your letters?"

"Ah, to tell you the truth, my master lives in Dingyan City in the north, and his mother is from Beirong." Sun Zhongjing said, "But the tribe of my grandmother's family has been wiped out by the Huyan family of the current Beirong royal family, and then this remnant of the clan has something to do with my master, and I can't ......ignore it as an apprentice."

Qiu Zheng frowned, "Pick the key point, where did the letter come from?" ”

"Ah good, in fact, it was Bei Rong who arrested my master's relatives, and then forced me to find someone to forge a letter and send it to the capital to slander the British and the enemy and treason."

"Poof." I couldn't help but laugh.

"There's no way, I'm young and strong enough to run this leg."

The officials who supervised the trial were amazed, and the onlookers were in an uproar.

"You're talking!" Li Jing immediately couldn't sit still, and was about to continue but was stopped by Qiu Zheng, Qiu Zheng asked sharply, "Do you know what the crime of forging documents and framing important ministers of the court for collaborating with the enemy is?" ”

"What crime, do you want to cut off your head?" Sun Zhongjing was very confused.

I noticed that Qiu Zheng's shoulder twitched, and he said, "You explain the facts in detail!" ”

"Didn't you tell me to pick the key points?" Sun Zhongjing felt aggrieved, and hurriedly said after looking at Qiu Zhengdao's eyes, "I think so, they put knives on my neck, and I can only go once, but as long as they find a way to send the letter, they didn't say that they wouldn't let me clarify the truth later." It just so happened that His Royal Highness King Yi had supervised the war in the north before, and he was the one who could be fierce, and I knew one of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, so I found him and said that I was a meticulous work who was willing to change his past wrongs, and I had here some letters exchanged between the British Duke and Beirong. ”

Sun Zhongjing said, puzzled, "Originally, I wanted to explain to him later, so that he could understand that I had to frame others and save my life by the way, but before I said this, he was very happy, and said that I would abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and eliminate harm for the country, and there would be a heavy reward, so I took the letter away...... I was so embarrassed, and then no one paid attention to me. ”

Sun Zhongjing's words were subtle, after all, as a prince, when he heard that the courtiers were collaborating with the enemy, his first reaction was not suspicion and anger but joy, and Li Jing's attitude was naturally listened to by the superintendent.

Yiwang Li Jing gritted his teeth on the side, Gu Jiajun returned to Beijing for many days, this Sun Zhongjing came to him with a letter dressed like a beggar, poured a bunch of bitter water on him, saying that Gu Jiajun turned his face and did not recognize people, Gu Chenyi bullied people and occupied his concubine, and said that he was forced to take refuge in Beirong because of this, and was determined to take revenge, Yunyun.

After Li Jing learned about the "plague" in Dingyan City that day, she was scared, so she evacuated this place in advance, not knowing what happened later. Because Sun Zhongjing was too sincere in what he said, and the handwriting of the letters he took out was the same as that of the British duke, plus his secret guard reported that Sun Zhongjing did appear in Beirong after Gu Jiajun left, he believed it.

Qiu Zheng then asked, "But the handwriting of this letter is indeed the same as that of the British public, how can this be explained?" ”

"I imitated the words, I used to see a doctor in the barracks, and I saw the military written by the British government, is it difficult to imitate it?" Sun Zhongjing looked confused, "Oh, I made up part of the content according to the script, and the other Beirong King seal was carved by someone with a radish, sir, take a look, is it very rough, and there is a snake on it." ”

"But this Teng snake entrenched between the Chinese characters?"

"Yes, yes, my master has seen what the seal looks like, and he also told me about this picture, but the snake of the seal of the king of Beirong is reversed, if you don't believe it, you can find a document to see."

Qiu Zheng thought about it, ordered the master to take down the letter and compare it with the official documents exchanged between the two countries, and said, "In this case, the suspicion of this letter is cleared, but the criminal department has searched the treasury of the Gu family's military camp before and found the medicinal materials of the poison in the Zhenbei Military Station, which is also one of the suspicions. ”

Sun Zhongjing quickly answered, "My lord, there is still evidence in this matter that can prove that the British Duke is innocent." ”

"The evidence found by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple is here, what other evidence is there?"

"This evidence is not with me, with my friend, she only arrived yesterday because she ran a long way, so the evidence was too late to be sent to Dali Temple, but she has already seen your master book today, please forgive me."
