What did you say? How dare you slander your own officials like this? Gui Sinian's facial features were twisted together hideously.

Cheng Qizhi ignored him and said directly to Xing Zhida: "Lord Xing, please send someone to my house to find the set of silver dishes and chopsticks that Mrs. Gui gave me, that is the evidence of our transaction." I can also tell you the names of the people who traded in order to arrange a position for the second son of Gui, and you can go and check them one by one. ”

Xing Zhida said without hesitation: "Okay, go to Cheng's house to search immediately!" ”

Gui Sinian suddenly pounced on Cheng Qizhi, "Cheng Qizhi, you dare to slander me and our family like this, I will fight with you!" ”

Wan Lin quickly hugged Gui Sinian and comforted him: "Don't be impatient, adults!" If you are really wronged, no matter what he says, you don't have to be afraid! ”

Gui Si said angrily; "Where can I swallow this breath!" ”

The dignified Imperial Doctor was rude in the public court, which simply stunned everyone.

Some people say that he may really be wronged, otherwise how could he be so excited?

Some people also say that he is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, and the more he can't sit still like this, the more it means that he has a ghost in his heart.

Wu Xuehai couldn't stand it anymore, and said to him: "Lord Gui, what are you doing here?" It's normal for us to be wronged and angry, but we can't be so disregarding our identity, right? You can wait in peace, the old man wants to see how he can slander us. ”

Gui Sinian is now like a mad dog that has lost his mind, shouting at Wu Xuehai: "He didn't come up with evidence against you, if he also came up with such evidence, I don't think you can sit still!" ”

Wu Xuehai glared at him angrily, "Are you really crazy?" What do you say I'm doing? Do you just want to watch me slandered? ”

Yuan Cheng said at this time: "Please calm down and calm down, you are all pillars of the imperial court, and it is inevitable that you will lose your identity if you are so noisy." I think what Master Wan said is right, those who are clear will clear themselves, and Dali Temple will give you justice. ”

Although Yuan Cheng seemed to persuade them calmly, who didn't know that Wu Xuehai was a student of Yuan Ge Lao?

His relationship with the Yuan Pavilion Elder is closer than that with his father, and he has colluded with Cheng Qizhi, does the Yuan Pavilion Elder not know?

Don't look at Yuan Cheng's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance when he persuades them now, he may be hiding his weakness.

Xing Zhida said unhurriedly: "Okay, okay, Xiangye, Lord Gui, please sit down first, we have to continue to try the case." ”

Wu Xuehai and Gui Sinian sat down very reluctantly, and the two of them sighed thoughtfully, and glared at Cheng Qizhi at the same time.

Xing Zhida continued: "Lord Yuan, do you think we are going to bring Mrs. Cheng over to ask her for her confession?" ”

Yuan Cheng nodded and said, "She should be brought in, so that their husband and wife can confront each other in court, and maybe they can find more clues." ”

Xing Zhida immediately interrogated Aunt Bai.

When she saw Cheng Qizhi's appearance, she was instantly frightened and weak, and had the courage to ask Cheng Qizhi about the situation.

I heard that someone had poisoned his food, and Aunt Bai's face turned white.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Bai Yusheng couldn't bear it a little, but he couldn't speak at will, and could only use his eyes to suggest that Aunt Bai confessed everything.

Aunt Bai only glanced at him briefly, and then lowered her head deeply.

The taste of becoming a prisoner in front of his own nephew is too heart-wrenching.

Aunt Bai didn't wait to speak, and her face was full of tears.

Cheng Qizhi said to her: "The matter has come to this, just say what you have to say, Yusheng has already arranged Fangxin, and we don't have to worry about the rest of her life." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Bai suddenly raised her head, "Yusheng has accepted Fangxin as a concubine?" ”

Bai Yusheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Cheng Qizhi frowned, "What do you want?" How could he possibly let Fang Xin be a concubine? Anyway, we don't have to worry about Fangxin's affairs. ”

Aunt Bai also reacted, Cheng Fangxin was already a criminal minister, and Bai Yusheng couldn't let her enter the door of the Bai family for the sake of her own reputation.

Thinking about it, Bai Yusheng should just be able to ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing, so it is enough.

Aunt Bai didn't have any worries anymore, and began to pour beans to tell everything she participated in and everything she knew.

Aunt Bai mentioned that she had many private contacts with the daughters of Wu Xuehai's family, Mrs. Gui and Mrs. Lu.

In order to tie up Wu Xuehai, she sent gold, silver and jewelry to his daughters.

When she started dating Mrs. Gui, she also gave her some heaven and earth deed gold and silver, while Mrs. Lu gave Aunt Bai a lot of benefits in order to arrange official positions for her son and nephew.

There are also many officials' family members and even officials who have close contacts with Aunt Bai.

After listening to her confession, Bai Yusheng knew how powerful his aunt's means of "absorbing gold" were, and their family's wealth was far beyond his imagination.

Wu Xuehai, Gui Sinian and some officials secretly clenched their fists when they heard Aunt Bai's confession, and Wu Xuehai couldn't help but say: "Okay, you slut, how dare you spray people with blood like this?" ”

Gui Sinian also pointed at her and scolded angrily: "What are the intentions of the two of you? Why do you have to hold me and the right side? ”

Aunt Bai came to a free and easy mood at this time, looked at them and sneered: "Hehe, I have no grievances with you, I am not holding you back, but you have done something wrong!" Don't think that if you are in a position of power, you are not afraid of anything! Why was my grandfather poisoned? Don't you know who poisoned him? ”

After Mrs. Gui finished speaking, Xing Zhida remembered Mao Youfa again.

He first glanced at Cheng Qizhi thoughtfully, and then said to Wu Xuehai and the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all say that you have been wronged, and this official will not make a judgment on whether you have been wronged first. ”

After speaking, Xing Zhida looked at Yuan Cheng.

"Lord Yuan, what do you think?"

Yuan Cheng said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty has been following up on this case, and we must investigate this case to the bottom of the matter, and we will never wronged one or let one go." All repairs are based on evidence. ”

As soon as Yuan Cheng's words were finished, Wu Xuehai's eyes sank.

Wan Lin: How could he say such a thing, is it because he is sure that he can't find the actual evidence of Wu Xuehai's collusion with Cheng Qizhi, or does the Yuan Ge have long known what Wu Xuehai has done, and knows that one day the East Window incident will happen, so he plans to abandon Wu Xuehai?

Wan Lin thought about it, and still thought that it was impossible for the Yuan Pavilion Elder to abandon Wu Xuehai, after all, Wu Xuehai was now in the middle of the court, and he actually had more real power than the Yuan Pavilion Elder if he fell like this, the government and the opposition would definitely be greatly shocked.

And King Jie is likely to lose the position of prince because of his downfall.

Xing Zhida somewhat heard some meaning from Yuan Cheng's words.

Originally, it was a "triage of three divisions", but the chief of one of the divisions was accused of being an accomplice by the suspect, and it was a joke to spread it.

Xing Zhida thought of this and said: "Lord Gui, no matter whether Cheng Qizhi's accusation against you is true or not, you have now been implicated, and the trial of the three divisions should be suspended immediately, and you should also avoid suspicion and no longer try this case together." Wait for the old man to report this matter to His Majesty, and let His Majesty send someone to temporarily try this case with me on your behalf of Yushitai. ”

As soon as Xing Zhida said this, Gui Sinian was almost angry.

But he didn't have any right to refute, so he could only reluctantly and aggrievedly say: "The matter has come to this, then it's all up to Lord Xing to decide." ”

Xing Zhida said to everyone: "Everyone, this case will be suspended for the time being, and the old man and Lord Yuan will enter the palace." Please also cooperate and wait for Your Majesty's decision in Dali Temple. ”

Xing Zhida and Yuan Cheng left, all the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple sealed the front and back doors, and some people tried to go out, but they were "politely" stopped.

What's even more subtle is that Wu Xuehai and Gui Sinian were invited to two rooms respectively, and there were still guards at the door.

Although their hearts are uncomfortable, they can only endure it.

Only then did Wan Lin see Xing Zhida's toughness, and secretly congratulated himself that he was a good official and did not collude with Cheng Qizhi and others.

Otherwise, the case would have been a different story.

Cheng Qizhi's situation has stabilized, Fu Xiaojiu and Bai Yusheng gave him a sleeping decoction in order to maintain his physical strength and let him sleep for a while.

Bai Yusheng was guarding Cheng Qizhi in the house, and Fu Xiaojiu took this kung fu to come out to Wan Lin and ask the question in his heart.

Fu Xiaojiu asked a little worriedly: "Xianggong, do you think Wu Xuehai will be brought down because of this incident?" ”

Wan Lin said seriously: "It depends on whether the emperor can endure the pain and cut his love." However, at this time, it is still related to the issue of the prince, if the emperor really let Wu Xuehai fall because of this incident, then King Jie is unlikely to become the prince. ”

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly thought of something, and said with palpitations: "Could all this be planned by King Zhao?" It was he who asked Cheng Qizhi to pull Wu Xuehai into the water, so as to weaken King Jie's power, and then he could make King Zhao become the crown prince smoothly. ”

Wan Lin shook his head, "Judging from Cheng Qizhi's whereabouts, he has nothing to do with King Zhao, and his allegiance is still to His Majesty." ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, Fu Xiaojiu's heart was suddenly shocked, "Since Cheng Qizhi is so loyal to His Majesty, could this matter be ordered by His Majesty?" His Majesty has already decided to make King Zhao the crown prince, so he used this way to help King Zhao get rid of the people who opposed him, and let Cheng Qizhi bite out Wu Xuehai. ”

Fu Xiaojiu's words also shocked Wan Lin, but Wan Lin still denied such speculation after thinking about it.

"No, Your Majesty will not use such means, this matter is completely Cheng Qizhi's own doing. He was just too greedy, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this point. Originally, according to His Majesty's trust in him, His Majesty would turn a blind eye to a little bit of silver, but the matter is so big, His Majesty can't keep him. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said with emotion: "This is called self-destruction if you do too much injustice." If he had stopped in time, he would never have ended up like this. ”

As soon as Fu Xiaojiu's words fell, the officers and soldiers who went to Cheng Qizhi's house to search for new evidence returned.
