No one has ever dared to say such a thing in front of Zhang Yuci, after the emperor ascended the throne today, the Zhang family has always been in power, and everyone must be respectful in front of him, even if the situation is unfavorable to the Zhang family now, he also has the power to argue in front of the emperor, and besides, he is different from the third brother, the affairs of the Zhang family are in his hands, and the queen mother knows that he has a problem, and will try her best to protect him.

The emperor asked Song Chengxuan to come here to investigate the case, not to put him to death immediately, Song Chengxuan should know how to be measured.

Zhang Yuci frowned: "Presumptuous, don't say that the official is not wrong, even if the official is wrong, the emperor presides over the overall situation, you are an unpopular official, you dare to be so arrogant, just based on this, I will refer to you in front of the emperor." ”

When Song Chengxuan heard this, his face did not change, and he said lightly: "Uncle Guo should atone for his sins first, and then talk about others." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in carrying a box.

Song Chengxuan was sitting precariously, the light in the room was dim, but the contours of his face were more clear, adding a little more grace than before.

Zhang Yuci was unexpectedly afraid.

The box was placed in front of Zhang Yuci.

Zhang Yuci couldn't help but look at the box, what was in this box? was thinking about it, only to hear a voice from the window: "Country...... Uncle Guo...... Do you remember me...... I'm Sun Fuyang. ”

Zhang Yuci's heart sank, and he went to look at the window again, and a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared there, the man was dressed in a Taoist robe, his eyes were evasive, and there was fear on his face, and Zhang Yuci immediately shrank nervously when he looked at each other.

Sun Fuyang.

Sun Fuyang is really alive.

Song Chengxuan said: "Uncle Guo let go of his subordinates, and the person who is looking for him all over the city is him, right?" ”

Zhang Yuci sneered: "There are so many deceitful Taoist priests, who is this Sun Fuyang, how can I know." ”

"His apprentice is still in the Zhang family," Song Chengxuan raised his eyes, "Didn't Uncle Guo invite him in?" ”

Zhang Yuci seemed to be silent, but gritted his teeth, Sun Fuyang's apprentice was indeed taken into custody by them, and now the existence of that person has also become evidence, it seems that from the beginning, Song Chengxuan calculated this.

Sun Fuyang's voice trembled: "The things of the year were all done by my master Zhenhua, Uncle Guo has killed my master and brother, I finally escaped, and I have lived tremblingly all these years, I beg you to raise your noble hands and let go of the two masters and apprentices of Xiaodao, Xiaodao was just buying medicinal materials for Zhenhua Zhenren back then, and he didn't do anything."

I don't know the secret recipe for those pills made by my master, and I don't know what will happen to those pills after eating them. ”

Zhang Yuci's eyes were slightly deep, looking at Sun Fuyang, Sun Fuyang's words meant something, as if he took Sun Fuyang's apprentice for the secret recipe of the pill.

Song Chengxuan brought this warm cage and led the topic to the pill, obviously he had figured out the secret of the pill, but unfortunately, the pill was no longer destroyed by him, and they could no longer find evidence.

"What else do you know?" Song Chengxuan's cold eyes looked at Sun Fuyang, "If the pill is crushed and burned, will it still have medicinal effect?" ”

Sun Fuyang pondered for a while: "My master only said that the pill he refined was difficult to remove the medicinal properties, because the most important medicine in the pill was originally tempered by fire, although I didn't have the master's prescription for alchemy, but I remember these things clearly." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuci's heart couldn't help but sink.

Song Chengxuan stood up, slowly walked to the box, and stretched out his hand to uncover the seal outside the box: "This is sealed by Zongzheng Temple when it was carried out from Zhang's house." ”

The seal was opened, and someone immediately stepped forward to open the box, revealing its contents.

There is a warm cage in the box.

Zhang Yuci was stunned for a moment, he had crushed those pills into powder and threw them into the warm cage before, how could Song Chengxuan know about this?

Song Chengxuan raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuci: "What was the use of the pill refined by Zhenhua back then?" Zhenhua is dead, those pills are in the hands of Uncle Guo, what did Uncle Guo do with them? ”

Zhang Yuci kept himself calm: "How did Zhenhua die, the palace has its own records, you can check it, as for the pill refined by Zhenhua...... I've never seen it, you don't have any evidence for saying this, could it be that you want to frame the official? ”

"The evidence is right in front of you," Song Chengxuan looked at the warm cage, "Sun Fuyang said, the pills refined by Zhenhua are not afraid of fire, fortunately, the ashes of the cage are here...... But what Uncle Guo said is right, there is no basis for empty words, and he wants to find someone to try the effect of the medicine. ”

After Song Chengxuan said this, Zhang Yuci couldn't help but take a step back.

Song Chengxuan said lightly: "Uncle Guo should have heard of what it means to 'prove his innocence'." ”

Zhang Yuci's whole body trembled, Song Chengxuan meant that he wanted him to taste the ashes in the warm cage by himself, how could he not know the medicinal effect of the pill, if he took this medicine, a small amount would be sick for a long time, and a large amount would be like the king of Jingjun at that time.

The people next to Song Chengxuan opened the lid of the warm cage.

Song Chengxuan said: "Serve Uncle Guo to eat, if it is useless, the rumors will be broken." ”

Seeing those people take out the ashes and put them in the bowl, Zhang Yuci was horrified, and he suddenly looked at Song Chengxuan: "Bold Song Chengxuan, you are deliberately killing the emperor's relatives and relatives by doing this, and you should be punished for the crime." ”

"When did I start killing?" Song Chengxuan sat down again, "This warm cage was taken from the Zhang family, and the seal has not been opened until now, how can the ashes in the warm cage kill people after taking it?" Uncle Guo is exaggerating. ”

"Someone," Zhang Yuci shouted, "take down the rebellious ministers and thieves in front of you." ”

As soon as Zhang Yuci's words fell, the guards of the Zhang family in the courtyard all pulled out the long knives on their waists, before they were suppressed by the people of the yamen and did not dare to act rashly, and when they heard the words of the master, they knew that they had to fight for their lives.

A token appeared in Song Chengxuan's hand.

"This official is ordered to investigate the case," Song Chengxuan's clear voice spread throughout the courtyard, "Uncle Guo is doing it at this time, who is the chaotic minister and thief?" ”

The soldiers in armor in the courtyard looked at the Zhang family guards with awe-inspiring eyes, the blades on their waists were not out, just taking a step forward, and they had already forced the Zhang family to retreat nervously.

At this time, Zhang Yuci felt fear, this Song Chengxuan would not let him go today.

"Song Chengxuan," Zhang Yuci said sharply, "Think about the Song family...... If you are the enemy of the Zhang family, you know what will happen. ”

Song Chengxuan said indifferently: "Serving the country, although I am still honorable in death, I will serve the country with a heart, and what will happen will I not worry about my uncle." ”

The ashes had been mixed with water, and the soldiers sent the bowl into Song Chengxuan's hands.

"Uncle Guo is at ease," Song Chengxuan said, "I will do this matter myself, and I will bear any consequences, Uncle Guo really has grievances, and I will naturally be punished." ”

The soldier stepped forward to press Zhang Yuci's body, Zhang Yuci has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his fists and feet are still there, the soldier was helpless for a while, but Song Chengxuan was not anxious, and stepped forward and stretched out his hand.

Zhang Yuci only felt that Song Chengxuan's hand on his shoulder was like a thousand pounds, so that he couldn't move for a while, the two soldiers took the opportunity to hug his arm, Zhang Yuci was about to struggle again, only to feel a pain in his leg, and the whole person involuntarily knelt down.

Next, his jaw was pinched, and something salty and thick immediately poured into his mouth, and he looked at Song Chengxuan in front of him with wide eyes, he couldn't believe that this young official dared to attack him like this.

Zhang Yuci wanted to spit out something in his mouth, but the cold hand of the soldier next to him covered his mouth and nose, making him breathless, and he involuntarily swallowed the gray water in his mouth during the struggle.

Zhang Yuci heard a cold voice ringing in his ears.

"More than ten years ago, Uncle Guo fed such a pill to a baby girl who was still swaddling, did Uncle Guo ever think that one day he would also taste the taste of this pill?"
