Another day passed, and a light drizzle fell in the sky at some point, and the already thick white fog in the forest became a little thicker.

The last rays of the sunset fell into the mountains, and the black man who had brought him food for several days appeared again, only this time the man in black did not carry the package, but carried him by the collar without saying a word, and sent him out of the lion forest.

After three days of torture, Pei Ran turned from a handsome little boy into a wild man in the mountains, and his expensive robe became unsightly due to a few days of running and struggling.

The moment he was thrown to the ground, he only felt that his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably, and his palms were painful.

There are also other places on the body, there are signs of being bitten by snakes and scratched by wolves.

The drizzle fluttered and fell above his head, and soon he was wet, his robe was wet and sticking to his body, his hair had already fallen apart, and his hair was inexplicably shorter than three days ago, and the ends of his hair seemed to have been gnawed by a dog.

"You're alive, yes."

The demonic voice sounded in his ears again, but Pei Ran felt a little nostalgic.

To hear this voice means that he has truly survived countless dangers.

Pei Ran looked up, and Qi Changrong, who was not far away, was holding an umbrella, standing quietly in the rain and staring at his embarrassment.

Unlike the joy of Pei Ran's rest of his life after the catastrophe, Qi Changrong's eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without the slightest wave.

She asked lightly, "Have you taken it?" ”

In front of him is an insurmountable mountain, and behind him is a deep forest that eats people and does not spit out bones.

Pei Ran lowered his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Yes."

He knew very well that if he said that he was not convinced, Qi Changrong would be able to turn around and leave, and then order someone to throw him in.

He could barely survive the first three days, but he couldn't whimsically think that the second three days were fine.

His father often taught him that people, you must learn to recognize reality.

Under power, if you don't want to die, you can only bow your head.

"Take him back to the wooden house and report to the official school tomorrow."

The veiled guard responded, "Yes." ”

……

Criminal Department, Trial Hall.

Ye Quan sat on top in a dark red official uniform, and his next hand was Tian Shengyang, the head of the Criminal Department, who was in charge of taking notes.

The reception officer Sun Jing stood behind Tian Shengyang, and Qin Yushi was also in the hall.

The hour was approaching, and Ye Quan looked out frequently, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows.

He made an appointment with the prince of the East Palace that he would come to give him the town during the formal interrogation, but time passed in the blink of an eye, but he had not seen the figure of the East Palace.

He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened along the way.

At this time, a government soldier outside the trial hall came in and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived at the front door of the Punishment Department!" ”

Everyone in the interrogation hall was stunned, and Ye Quan smiled lightly: "This official is the same rank as Pu Ting, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to suppress him during the interrogation, so I invited the prince of the East Palace to come to help." ”

Qin Zhong pondered for a while, stroked his chin and beard, and said: "The prince of the East Palace is upright and clear-minded, with him sitting here, this case will be solved, we can rest assured." ”

"What Qin Yushi said is reasonable." Ye Quan bowed his head in greeting.

As he spoke, an elegant and indifferent man with a crown like jade entered the trial hall.

Everyone got up one after another and bowed their hands to him: "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Looking up, Qi Changrong was wearing a plush cloak, and in the winter future, the people waiting in the East Palace had already wrapped her in airtightness.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, please get up."

A clear and smiling voice came into the ears of everyone present, and Ye Quan rose up first and said, "Your Highness, your place is here." ”

Qi Changrong raised his feet and stepped forward, and sat down in the Taishi chair specially prepared by Ye Quan.

Looking around with indifferent eyes, Qi Changrong's gaze fell on the middle of the trial hall one after another, and when she fell to the foot in front of her, she paused and asked Ye Quan, "Does the Criminal Department have a screen?" ”

Ye Quan, who didn't expect to have this question, didn't know why, and replied truthfully: "There should be, what does Your Highness want to do?" ”

"Go and move it here and stand it, don't let the hall filth the lonely eyes."

“……”

Everyone was silent.

Ye Quan broke the silence with a cough and hurriedly ordered people to do it.

Not long after, the only screen in the Criminal Department was moved over, standing firmly in front of Qi Changrong, isolating all scrutiny.

The patterns on the screen are complex and intertwined, enough to cover the faces of the people behind the screen, and as long as she doesn't make a sound, no one knows her identity.

She sat down on the Taishi chair, looked at the trial hall through the screen with sharp eyes, and said lazily: "Okay, Master Ye can start." ”

This position is very much to her liking, and people outside can't see her, but she can see everything outside.

After receiving the order, Ye Quan held the startling wood in his hand and slapped it hard: "Tell the plaintiff Bai Yi, the defendant Pu Ting!" ”

After a while, Bai Yi and Pu Ting were each pressed up.

"Get on your knees!"

Someone scolded, Bai Yi knelt down without a trace of hesitation when he heard this, he was a civilian, and he didn't have any official merits, so he naturally wanted to kneel.

When Ye Quan's eyes turned to Pu Ting, he saw that the man raised his head proudly and sneered at him disdainfully: "Lord Ye, you and I are of the same rank, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand my knees." ”

Now he is only forced to go to prison, the truth is still sinking to the bottom, and Emperor Jin An has not yet removed him from his official position.

Theoretically, Ye Quan is indeed not qualified to let Pu Ting, who is also a second-grade minister, kneel to him, even if this is the trial hall of the Criminal Department.

Ye Quan glanced at the screen, and the only person present who could make Pu Ting kneel willingly was this master.

However, the person behind the screen did not make a sound, and there was no movement, presumably because he did not want to reveal his identity for the time being.

Ye Quan didn't force it, and followed Pu Ting's words: "Come on, bring a chair to Pu Shangshu." ”

The jailer moved a small stool.

Ye Quan smirked: "I hope that Lord Pu will be in the future, the Criminal Department is not as rich as the Household Department, and there was a shortage of funds some time ago, so I didn't buy more tables and chairs." ”

After saying hello to several ministers next to him, Pu Ting's face was not half twisted, and he sat down on the low stool in a dignified manner.

He was calm and leisurely, as if he had been acquitted of his guilt.

Since he appeared, Bai Yi's hateful gaze has been glued to him, if the eyes could kill, Pu Ting would have been dead thousands of times at this time.

The iron rope struggled with a 'clang', and sensing that Bai Yi's mood was wrong, Ye Quan's hand was shocked again, and the heavy sound seemed to hit the back of everyone's head, making it refreshed.

"Okay, this is the trial hall of the Criminal Department, and the two people in the hall are all prisoners, no matter what the official asks later, you must answer truthfully, otherwise you will be punished for bullying the king!"

The results of the trial were finally handed over to Emperor Jin An, and the case could only be decided by Emperor Jin An's eyes.

During the interrogation, if someone told a lie and the false news was presented to Emperor Jin An, it would be a crime of deception.

As soon as Ye Quan stirred up the situation like this, Bai Yi's emotions eased, and he no longer stared at Pu Ting with hatred, but only nodded and said: "Although the adults are judged, the grass people will never spit out half a lie!" ”

His hatred, his resentment, will be completely vented at this moment.

Pu Ting smiled disdainfully: "I am innocent, no matter how you interrogate, innocence is innocence." ”

The arrogant words blurted out, he had already figured out the trial style of the criminal department, and they had nothing to do with themselves before they found clues.

And because they have an official position, they can't torture themselves, so who can help him?

Hearing this, Qi Changrong behind the screen raised his eyes lightly, glanced at Bai Yi, who was obviously irritated and had blue tendons on his forehead, and then looked at Pu Ting, who looked arrogant, leaning on the other side of the Taishi chair, his eyes became more and more cold.

Tian Shengyang was stunned when he put pen to paper, not knowing whether he should record these arrogant words truthfully.

Qin Zhong's brows were tightly locked, anger rose from his heart, and just as he was about to speak, Sun Jing pressed his shoulder from behind, signaling him to be restless.

"Whether you are guilty or not, you are not alone in your decision." Ye Quan was as calm as ever, and he was not disturbed by Pu Ting's words, but sneered, and then said, "Ascend to the hall!" ”

"Might-Force-"

"The plaintiff Bai Yi sued Puting for corruption, I don't know what witnesses and evidence there are?"

Bai Yi trembled and took out a coarse cloth from his chest: "This is the blood book of hundreds of people in my Bai Village, and I hope that the adults will look at it and seek justice for the innocent!" ”

His hands were chained, and as soon as he raised his hand, the sound of chains clashing came out.

Seeing the blood-stained and old cloth, Pu Ting's eyebrows sank, and his breath couldn't help but be heavy.

I didn't expect him to carry such a thing with him!

"Bring it in."

Sun Jing took the blood book and presented it to the hall.

Ye Quan read it word by word, this blood letter was written in great detail, even the number of embezzlements was involved, and there were several rows of dense signatures and fingerprints at the bottom, he looked at it, and thought that he was dazzled.

At the end, there are also several red dazzling official seals.

Apparently it was covered by the local government.

If you take a closer look, there are hundreds of people who have left their names on this blood book!

"This ......" Ye Quan was dumbfounded, returned to his composure, and asked, "Is everything said above true?" ”

Bai Yi solemnly kowtowed to Ye Quan: "There is no half-word falsehood in the above, if there is half a word nonsense, the grass people are willing to be struck by the sky and thunder, and they will never be reborn in the underworld after death."

There are a total of 326 names on this blood pleading, and seven are sealed by the government officials to testify. ”

More than 300 names, seven government official seals.

Ye Quan sighed in his heart, he had taken a closer look just now, those few official mansions were distributed in different states, and the people on the blood book were also distributed all over the place, how much effort did he have to waste alone to collect these!

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to him, Pu Ting seemed to say casually: "It's just a blood book, it's extremely easy to forge it, I can also find hundreds of people to sign and draw on it, and then stamp the official seal that I don't know if it's true or not." ”

Hearing him say this, Ye Quan was a little embarrassed.

Indeed, as Pu Ting said, if they want to forge a blood book, it is a very simple matter.

Just when Ye Quan was stunned, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind the screen.

"My lord, please take a look at my master in the blood book."

A beautiful woman's voice came from the other side, and Ye Quan knew that it was the person beside him, so he didn't say anything, and immediately handed over the thing.

Pu Ting, who was sitting in the hall, heard the prestige, and was surprised to see that he had stretched out a hand behind the screen that he thought was just a decoration.
