Under the torture of Tong Ti, Ke Quan couldn't help but torture and confess.

The confession was very favorable to the king of Zhou - Ke Quan admitted that he was bribed by Qian Baipo to poison the medical needle, and when Yuanhai asked him to apply the needle, he used the poisonous needle to pierce the acupuncture point, causing Yuanhai's death.

Pei Zhuo determined that Ke Quan's confession was not credible: "After investigating that Ke Quan was introduced by Meng Shangshu to diagnose and treat Yuan Tongzhi's disease, Pei thought that Meng Shangshu was more suspicious, but His Royal Highness ordered the criminal interrogation to be presided over by Tong Tixing, and excluded the subordinate officials from the torture interrogation, and the subordinate officials questioned the suspicion of being beaten into a trick, so he asked His Royal Highness to convene the officials of the capital and the prefects of the southern prefectures of Nanzhili to hold a public trial, and ask the people involved in the case again in public, so as to ensure that the law enforcement and judgment of the case were not biased." ”

This is a face-to-face call, and it is clear that it is going to make a big deal out of it.

In the final analysis, although the king of Zhou is the supervisor and has the imperial golden order in hand, but even if His Majesty the emperor comes to Nanjing in person, the minister of criminal justice also has the power to consult the public trial, if the king of Zhou does not want to be impeached by the imperial historian for perverting the law and covering his own interests, he must allow the public trial to be admonished, you must know that this case has reached such a momentum, the confrontation has long been limited to Yuan Ge Lao and Xuan Zhutang, and all the officials in the court know that this is the duel between the king of Zhou and the king of Linzi.

Now the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as the home of King Zhou, if the public trial is rejected again, public opinion will of course question the unfairness of law enforcement, and His Royal Highness King Zhou is a thief.

The date of the trial was quickly decided.

On the day of the public trial, Lan Ting got up, and when Chun Gui served him in an official robe, he looked a little absent-minded, and Lan Ting saw Chun Gui's thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Hui Hui is worried about the public trial, and I regret that I can't go to Xuande Hall to watch the trial." ”

Chun Gui did not hide it: "Today, Pei Zhuo and Qian Baipo must be prepared, new witnesses will appear, Ke Quan should also retract his confession, we can't find out the back hand arranged by Yuan Dang this time, since so many cases, only this case is the most tricky, even if it is ...... Mo asked Xiaodao to communicate with Yuan Tongzhi's soul, and Yuan Tongzhi exposed Meng Zhi's crimes, but Meng Zhi did not reveal the detailed plan of Yuan Dang, which was impossible to prevent, and the outcome was uncertain. ”

"This time, we have to go head-to-head with Yuan Ji, which is not necessarily a good thing, after all, the more Yuan Ji is deeply involved in this murder case, even if he can launch Qian Baipo, Pei Zhuo and others to take the blame in the future, he will not want to retreat unharmed, it can be said that as long as we win this game, we can completely cut off the hope of King Linzi to get the prince, so that he will be out of the game early, and His Royal Highness will have a greater chance of winning.

It is also very beneficial for the situation in the four provinces south of the Yangtze River. Lan Ting tied the knot of the round-necked official robe himself, took the black gauze hat handed by Qingping and brought it upright, and gently shook Chunhui's hand: "Huihui can also go to Xuande Hall to watch." ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, someone will question me again for snooping on foreign affairs." In fact, she has already seen foreign affairs, but after all, she has not been above board, and if she wants to appear in the Xuande Hall in a grand manner today, it is to give people a handle.

"Behind the screen block of Xuande Hall, there was originally a small tea room, Hui Hui can also hear about the public trial when he sits in the tea room, and today Yin Niangzi is the widow of the deceased, although she does not need to testify in court, but it is also normal for her to care about the results of the public trial, and Hui Hui will accompany her to listen to the trial behind the screen, which is also reasonable."

Chungui listened to Lan Ting's reasons for her hearing properly, so he stopped being hypocritical: "Then I will accompany Yin Niangzi after a while." ”

"In the future, no matter what Huihui wants, there is no need to scruples, you can propose it to me, I can have a heart-to-heart with you most of the time, but after all, sometimes I am afraid that I will ignore it when I am busy, Huihui knows the general, that is, the wish is not realized and will not linger, but I don't want any of your wishes to be disappointed." The neatly dressed young official suddenly spoke in a gentle tone, and took a step closer, gently dropping a warm kiss on Chungui's forehead.

Yu:......

I think I should think about it when my uncle is there in the future, maybe I should close my eyes and pretend to be blind when I enter the house to serve.

Obviously she was just a bystander, but at this time, she felt that her cheeks were hot, and she was so shy that she wanted to go out of the door.

Chungui seemed to have been shaken by Lan Ting's sudden affection and Qingqing's hand, and she shook the deer, and her face was rarely red, but she only thought that Lan Ting was busy with official business during this time, and some guilt was not as considerate as in the past, she saw that Qingping had pretended to be calm and went out, stood on tiptoe, responded with a kiss, and pushed Lan Ting out with a smile: "I see that there is a vicious battle to fight for a while, and the uncle is still paying close attention to the love of children here." ”

Lan Ting was a little helpless, he had already sensed the crisis, but it seemed that Chun Gui had not realized that he had a bad plan, and it was useless to pierce this layer of windows, so he could only work harder to please Chun Gui, as long as there was no suspicion between them, it would be possible to slowly dispel that person's ambition.

Emotional matters, in Lan Ting's opinion, if there is already a marriage constraint, it will never be able to be changed again, even if the person's intentions are very

Danger is not tolerated by secular etiquette, but what he doesn't want is that Chungui will also be deeply struggling between emotion and morality because of that person's influence, he doesn't need a wife who can only be faithful to marriage because he is afraid of the condemnation of secular etiquette, what he needs is that Chungui is true and unswerving, and he will not regret meeting with other people in this life.

He hopes that Chungui has always believed that she has got the best lover and marriage, just like in the past and now, and does not look at others much.

The same will be true in the future.

He was reluctant to ask why Chungui had a private meeting with King Zhou in Minghexie, not because he didn't care, but because he cared too much.

He was afraid that the reason was actually not what he liked, and no matter how he chose, he would never be happy again.

If you want to talk about resentment, of course Lan Ting has it, and it is aimed at King Zhou.

He has not yet been tolerant and generous to the point of understanding the intentions of the king of Zhou, and he will even be annoyed these nights, reviewing his decision to assist the king of Zhou, I will go to the soup for you, accompany the rise and fall of the clan and serve your life, what are you doing? Do you know that your intentions and actions may drag everyone into a catastrophe?! But Lan Ting is not an impulsive person, just like he actually made every decision after careful consideration, determined to assist King Zhou, never because of personal affairs, so he could not condemn King Zhou for harboring such intentions, so he lost the qualification to become the lord of the society.

After all, King Zhou is not doing anything that harms the overall situation at the moment.

I only hope that if Chungui does not make any response, King Zhou will dispel his dangerous desire and stop being obsessed.

As long as King Zhou can rest assured to be the lord of the prosperous society and discipline himself to lead the world, Zhao Lanting will always be a courtier loyal to the monarchy, no matter for whom, public or private, this is the best result.

There was no need for his advice, the king of Zhou should understand such a simple truth.

When Lan Ting faced King Zhou, he remained silent.

At this time, the public trial has not begun, the Nanjing ministers and officials have not been allowed to enter the Xuande Hall, after the empty public hall, the tea room that is separated by the carved screen, looking out of the small courtyard, a bush of wood hibiscus is spitting out the beauty, but the south of the Yangtze River is autumn, gradually less sunny, today is the gloomy weather, less than the morning sun shines, so that the fangduo seems to be slightly lost / spirit.

King Zhou drank tea and decided to chat with Lan Ting for a while.
