When Mrs. Jian spoke, her eyes unconsciously looked at Zhao Tianlin, and she almost didn't say, I am afraid that the witness will be poisoned by Zhao Tianlin if he leaves Jian's house.

Zhao Tianlin's face froze, he really thought so.

He designed Master Jian and Yun Jin, firstly, in order to get himself out of the matter of shielding Ye Shangshu, as long as the person who embezzled public funds was not the person sent by Ye Shangshu, then Zhao Tianlin did not have the crime of shielding. Second, and most importantly, it is necessary to use the matter of Yunjin for Li Mu to divert the attention of the courtiers, so that this little thing that Ye Shangshu did is nothing, and as soon as Emperor Yongqing is happy, Ye Shangshu can immediately come out of the prison.

But this matter can't be known, whether it's a courtier or Emperor Yongqing, once it is known, then he Zhao Tianlin will be finished.

"Zhou Shangshu, the concubine only asks you to be here, interrogate the witnesses on the spot, wait for the witnesses to write their testimony, and then have King Zhao and Yun Shizi testify, as for whether Zhou Shangshu will bring people back to the Yamen of the Criminal Department for retrial, the concubine has no objection."

Poof!

Mrs. Jian knelt directly towards Zhou Shangshu. Zhou Shangshu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Jane, what are you doing, get up quickly." ”

Mrs. Jian choked back tears, shook her head, and said: "Zhou Shangshu, the concubine begs you, please return our lord's innocence, our lord is an honest man, he will always do errands with his head bored, and he will never have such a dirty mind, you go and ask the ministers of the court, but whoever knows our lord, who doesn't know who he is." ”

Zhou Shangshu pondered for a moment, one thing Mrs. Jian said was absolutely true, Master Jian's personality was indeed commendable, and his reputation in the court was excellent, otherwise he would not have been handpicked to Jingzhou. Zhou Shangshu also went to check, Master Jian did practical things in Jingzhou, and these people in Jingzhou can see it clearly.

But King Zhao's side ......

Zhou Shangshu looked at Yun Jin hesitantly, only to see Yun Jin say lightly: "If something really happens to the witness, I'm afraid that Zhou Shangshu will not be able to explain." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Shangshu was shocked, yes, if this witness was really taken care of, he would definitely be punished.

Besides, there is nothing that Madame Jane mentioned that is not allowed by any law, and it is not considered to be overdue, so why can't she agree?

In the end, Zhou Shangshu nodded and said, "Mrs. Jane, please get up, the official agreed." ”

As he spoke, he saluted Zhao Tianlin and Yun Jin again, and said, "The prince, the prince, please also ask the two of you to be a witness." ”

"This king disagrees!" Zhao Tianlin still had to jump out to oppose it.

Xie Qing stroked his forehead speechlessly, is it already Zhao Tianlin's obsession to disagree?

"His Royal Highness King Zhao, the person who tried the case is Zhou Shangshu, not His Royal Highness King Zhao, if His Royal Highness King Zhao doesn't want to hear it, then you can leave directly, and you don't necessarily have to be a witness." Xie Qing said coldly.

You oppose it, right, but it doesn't matter.

Disagree, get out!

Zhao Tianlin's heart tightened, how could he leave, who knows what the witness would say, if he left, wouldn't it be all up to someone else's mouth.

"No, this king must be present!" Zhao Tianlin immediately objected.

Xie Qing's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Zhao has agreed, so there is nothing to dispute." Mrs. Jane, bring the witnesses out, rest assured, with Zhou Shangshu of the Criminal Department, it will be fine. ”

Zhao Tianlin's face suddenly darkened, he was tricked by Xie Qing, and he was fooled by Xie Qing when he didn't notice it for a while.

"Xie Qing, you calculate this king!" Zhao Tianlin gritted his teeth angrily.

The corners of his lips were slightly hooked, Xie Qing smiled, and said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao, where is this, the princess of this world thinks that His Royal Highness King Zhao is a person who is called a virtuous king in the court, this matter is just a trivial matter, there is no need to let His Royal Highness King Zhao entangle, if His Royal Highness King Zhao still opposes it, unless it is ......"

In Zhao Tianlin's resentful eyes, Xie Qingdan's lips lightly spit out a sentence: "Unless someone is weak-hearted." ”

This person is naturally Zhao Tianlin, if it weren't for Zhao Tianlin's weak heart, why would he oppose a harmless little request again and again.

What else can Zhao Tianlin say, if he says it again, it really shows that he is weak in heart.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, everyone present could see it really from the beginning, Zhao Tianlin was weak-hearted......

Mrs. Jane nodded to the grandmother beside her, and after a while, she saw that the grandmother brought out a little maid, who was tied up with five flowers and her mouth was gagged with strips of cloth.

Mama took off the strip of cloth from the little maid's mouth, and the little maid hurriedly knelt down towards Mrs. Jane, crying and said, "Madam, the slave really didn't poison the master, please Madame to be clear." ”

Madame Jane pointed at the maid and reprimanded, "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, Madame Ben would have doubted you?" Ping'er, it was Mrs. Ben who saw that you were pitiful and bought you into the house, Mrs. Ben treated you with kindness and righteousness, but you actually poisoned the master, and put the forged suicide note in the master's study, you are really a wolf! ”

Ping'er shook her head again and again, crying and said, "Madam, there are no slaves, there are really no slaves." ”

"Still lying!" Mrs. Jane said angrily, "This is what Mrs. Ben saw with her own eyes, before the lord was poisoned, he only drank the tea you handed over. ”

"No, madam, even if the master was poisoned after drinking the tea handed by the slave, but the tea was not made by the slave, this does not prove that the slave was poisoned." Ping'er pleaded again.

Mrs. Jane snorted coldly: "Why don't you want to think about it, how did Mrs. Ben catch you, Mrs. Ben thinks that something is wrong with you, and catches you sneaking into the master's study on the spot, how can you explain this?" ”

"Please forgive Madame, the slave and maid are greedy for a while, and see that the Squire's Mansion is already in danger, so it's like going to the master's study to steal a few valuable things, the slave and maid don't dare anymore, beg Madame to spare the slave and maid." Ping'er knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lady Jane.

"So far, you're still lying, you're really hard-mouthed, and in order not to tell the truth, you'd rather let yourself be charged with stealing." Mrs. Jane's face turned blue with anger.

Pointing at Ping'er with trembling fingers, Mrs. Jane gritted her teeth and said, "Mrs. Ben treats you well, but you will take revenge, Mrs. Ben is really blind, how could she buy a maid like you into the mansion." ”

Apple, who was kneeling on the ground, really kowtowed and begged for mercy, but she didn't say anything else.

Mrs. Jian said to Zhou Shangshu: "Zhou Shangshu, her name is Ping'er, she is the maid in our house, our master was poisoned after drinking the tea she handed over, it was the cup of tea that Fang Cai Zhang examined, the concubine felt that she was wrong early in the morning, because she was always on guard against her, and caught her secretly putting a suicide note in the study on the spot." But this maid refused to tell the truth, and only bothered Zhou Shangshu to let her speak. ”

Zhou Shangshu is the secretary of the Criminal Department, he has a way to interrogate the prisoner and let the prisoner tell the truth, even if he is not in the Yamen of the Criminal Department at the moment, and the equipment is not complete, but she believes that Zhou Shangshu must have a way.

Zhao Tianlin frowned slightly, this Ping'er didn't know if it was arranged by Ye Chengxuan, that matter was all arranged by Ye Chengxuan, and he didn't know who arranged it.

However, his gaze moved up slightly, and he glanced at the person in the shadows, but it really didn't work, so that this apple would never be able to open his mouth.

Zhou Shangshu looked at Ping'er condescendingly, and said loudly: "People have stolen goods, you still don't tell the truth?" ”

Ping'er cried and said, "My lord, there really is no slave and maid, the slave and maid are just a ghost for a while, and I ask the adult to see it." ”

"You can't see it, can you?" Zhou Shangshu roared sharply, "Bold slave, do you think this official is easy to fool? Come on, go to the punishment! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant stepped forward and put Ping'er down, but took out a clamping stick.

Suddenly, Ping'er's face changed greatly, and big drops of sweat appeared on her forehead instantly, the clamping stick is used to clamp her fingers, put ten fingers into the clamping stick, and then the official tightened the clamping stick, and the ten fingers instantly seemed to be squeezed, and the ten fingers were connected to the heart, and the pain was unbearable.

"Please spare your life, your life......" Ping'er kowtowed repeatedly.

Zhou Shangshu also ignored her: "Punishment!" ”

At the sound of an order, the stick quickly slapped onto Apple's fingers.

Yes......

With only a scream, Ping'er's fingers, which were still intact, were dripping with blood in an instant.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives." Sweat had already wet her hair, and Ping'er's face had turned pale, which showed how much it hurt.

Zhou Shangshu's face did not change, and he said loudly: "Don't tell the truth yet!" ”

For these reactions of the prisoners, Zhou Shangshu was no longer surprised. Like Ping'er and others, Zhou Shangshu has seen a lot, and he pretended to be innocent at the beginning, and at this time, he only needs to be punished heavily, let her suffer a little, and tell the truth immediately.

"The slave and the maid say, the slave and the maid say everything......"

Sure enough, after being punished, don't you just learn to be obedient.

"Yes......" However, as soon as Ping'er spoke, Chen Yuan immediately flew past Ping'er, and when his body stabilized, a silver needle was between his fingers.

Mrs. Jane's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly walked up to Ping'er, looked around, and muttered, "What I was worried about is indeed right. ”

Sure enough, someone doesn't want Ping'er to tell the truth, and someone wants to attack Ping'er.

Xie Qing raised her eyebrows slightly, "Ping'er, you still don't tell the truth, you can see that someone is trying to kill you." ”

The pain in her fingers had made Ping'er's face as pale as a piece of paper, and now that she listened to Xie Qing's words, she couldn't see a trace of blood on her face, and her eyes were full of horror.

"This king just said that it is not safe here, if Ping'er is brought to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, how can there be a matter of talent." Cold, Zhao Tianlin jumped out and said.

Xie Qing's eyes were slightly cold, and he raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Tianlin lightly, did he think that no one could see his thoughts? The people present were afraid that even Zhou Shangshu of the Criminal Department could see it clearly.

Zhao Tianlin didn't miss the look that Xie Qing looked at him, and his face suddenly turned dark, and the look that Xie Qing looked at him just now seemed to be looking at an idiot.

"Ping'er, keep talking!" Zhou Shangshu said coldly. It's enough to put a hidden weapon in front of him!
