When he returned to the county office, the one who sat on the presiding judge became the third prince. He looked back at the 'Mirror Hanging' plaque on the high hanging hall, his expression solemn and upright.

Turning his head, he said to the star fruit and others standing below: "When the dynasty is under the rule, the officials are clear and clear, and they will never be allowed to be corrupt and oppress the people." If you have grievances, if you have grievances, as long as there is reason and evidence, this king will make decisions for you. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the onlookers again, and raised his voice: "It's the same, if there is an unjust, false or wrongful case, if you are oppressed, no matter who is involved, no matter how big your official is, don't be afraid." As long as there is reason, this king will make decisions for you. ”

The third prince took out the Acting Patrol Seal from his arms, threw it on the table with a 'bang', and also fell into the hearts of everyone present.

"If the officials rule Qingming, the world will be clear. Who dares to harm my Chao Qingming, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”

The crowd of onlookers was indignant and praised the three princes endlessly. Only the Zhou County Order, who is sitting at the bottom, is difficult to sit on his back if he has a thorn in his back.

Soon, the results of the interrogation of Zhang Qian and others came out, and when he was brought to court, his whole body was intact, and there was no sign of being tortured.

Zhou County Ling was lucky, thinking that the third prince would not have any results, but the result made his jaw drop.

Zhang Qian recruited everything.

In the matter of wronging star fruit and Zhao Langzhong, how he coerced and lured the villagers to sue, how he intimidated and induced Goudan to betray his godfather to testify, and the arrangements for Goudan and the villagers after the matter was completed.

When the dog heard that the county order's final arrangement for the insider was 'kill without mercy', his eyes were as big as eggs in anger.

"You clearly promised everyone to be rich and noble, and the family that you said was good was ten acres of fertile land, and the family that you said was good was two hundred taels of silver......"

Carambola sneered lightly, and explained the dog's confusion: "You are plotting for other people's money, and people are worried that you will report him for murder in the past." Your life is a great threat to him, and only the dead can keep the secret! ”

Zhou Xianling's fat body rolled down from the chair, and he knelt crookedly in the center of the hall, shouting in a cold sweat: "The third prince is Mingjian, and the lower officials are wronged." ”

The third prince ignored him and continued to call other witnesses.

The villagers who previously proved how star fruit committed crimes and how they killed people all recounted that they were forced to do so. The details of being coerced and lured are the same as Zhang Qian's confession.

The witnesses came one by one, and the rhetoric was in line with each other, and Zhou County, who had been in the officialdom for 18 years, finally understood: It was hopeless to overturn the case.

But this is not a dead end, I am just a shrimp soldier and crab general, I just do what I am told. In this case, how much sin can I have when it happens? It's a big deal to be sent to a poor area, and if you are not afraid, it is not a disaster.

If you can please the three princes, maybe you don't even have to go to a poor place?

Yes, follow the wishes of the three princes to catch two more bigger officials, and if there is snow blowing the wind on the pillow, things will definitely pass smoothly.

His heart turned a thousand times, and he kept thinking about which non-fatal cases to betray.

Before he could figure it out, star fruit and Joan gave him a painful blow together.

The first to stand up was Qiao An, who knelt on the ground and accused Zhou County Commander of abusing his power and abusing the suspect. Zhao Langzhong was a witness, he unbuttoned his shirt in the courtroom, and his body was covered with hideous scars.

Imperial Physician Feng inspected and pointed out the scars one by one: "This is a whip wound, according to the degree of overlapping scars, the number of whips should be more than thousands of lashes." ”

"This is a knife wound, the wound is small and deep, and it should be pierced to the bone. This is a soldering iron, based on the number of wounds, there should be ......"

Counting them everywhere, Imperial Physician Feng, who was accustomed to suffering, life and death, couldn't help but smack his tongue: "Where is this interrogation, it's simply hell on earth." It's just that he is suspected of practicing medicine illegally, he has not killed for money, and he has not extorted money, so how can he be tortured like this? ”

Qiao Kangcheng also rushed over, he said his experience indignantly, and naturally gained a sigh after the injury.

Zhou County's order was so anxious that he was sweating, and hurriedly kowtowed to argue: "It's not that the lower officials want to act like this, but they really don't dare to disobey the order." An Gongzi personally supervised and personally started the interrogation, how can the Xiaguan District and County Orders tolerate him? ”

Carambola stood up: "Helping the bad guys sing praises is also forced to be helpless?" ”

Zhou County Ling was still confused, and the star fruit had already come to the 'merit letter' he had shown to the third prince before: "If you want to say that others are forced to sign and stamp their handprints on it, you know that he is lawless in your jurisdiction and tortures prisoners, how can you still have the face to take out this letter?" ”

Carambola finds its name and compares the handprints on it. Then he sneered and said, "Even if I was coerced, I still refused to write the correct name, and I still didn't give him a complete handprint." This is my attitude towards oppression and power. ”

She told the story of being coerced by the An family steward, and then straightened her waist and looked at Zhou County's order: "I left such an obvious flaw for Lord Zhou, telling you that this public virtue letter must not be used, why can't you wait to ask for credit for An Zhiyuan?" ”

Star fruit looked at Qiao An's name again, and when she saw the obvious break on his handprint, she couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's not just me, Qiao An has also given you a similar reminder." ”

She pointed to the handprint to Zhou County, who looked at the obviously uncountable handprints on it, and remembered the tea cup that Qiao An had broken 'unintentionally' at that time, and regretted that her intestines were blue.

"Facts have proved that you are not forced, you and An Zhiyuan are simply embarrassed and in caddle."

Star fruit came to a conclusion, and her voice was sonorous and powerful.

Before Zhou County's order could refute, all the prison officials that the three princes had ordered to find had been recovered.

They confessed all the details of An Zhiyuan's torture of Zhao Langzhong and Qiao Kangcheng in prison, and also confessed to the person who gave the order: "We have been ordered by Zhou County Order, and we will fully cooperate with An Gongzi's actions, and if we do not obey at all, we will have to leave with all the cover." Later, we were driven away because Dr. Yang and Gongzi Qiao went to Shuzhou to complain, and Zhou County ordered us to be driven away just in case. ”

Things have developed to this point, and Zhou County Ling still has room for quibble.

But he was unwilling to be defeated like this, and if he wanted to save himself, he had to strive for meritorious service.

Therefore, he shouted: "I am only a petty official of the seventh grade, how can I dare to offend the son of the prefect's family?" is so flattering, the offering of 50,000 taels of silver a year is indispensable, and if I offend them again, I still have a way to live, and the people of Liang County still have a way to live? ”

This is said as if he tortured Zhao Langzhong and Qiao Kangcheng for the sake of all the people in Liang County.

Of course, this is not the point, the point is '50,000 taels of snowflake silver every year'.

The three princes were interested, and the whole government searched for the account books of the prefect of An, as well as evidence of the widows and widows of Zhou County.

Zhang Qian saw that the opportunity was coming, and he couldn't wait to make meritorious contributions: "There are account books and evidence of Zhou County's orders to accept bribes, extort merchants, and accept bribes under false pretenses. ”

The guards of the three princes not only found the account books in the county office, but also found a lot of valuable treasures.

Boxes of gold, boxes of silver, boxes of jewelry, boxes of jade and gemstones......

Where is this county office, it is clearly a treasure pavilion!

When these things were carried out, Zhou Xianling fainted on the spot.

When the onlookers saw it, they shouted and cursed.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and Zhou County's order saw that it was about to fall, and those merchants and people who were usually oppressed stood up one after another. After a while, the queue to accuse Zhou County Order formed a long line, and the most crimes listed could write a book.

Joan and Carambola glanced at each other and smiled: Although the ants are small, they can shake trees!

She tugged at his sleeve and asked him with her eyes: Is this almost over? Bringing down the Zhou County Order, the three princes should also go, right?

Without waiting for Joan to answer, the facts gave the star fruit an affirmative answer: no! The three princes have wasted such a big heart, and you have suffered such a big sin, how can it only end up with a petty official?

When the Governor of An appeared in the county office of Liang County in the dark night, everyone was stunned except for the three princes.

I don't know what I have endured, but the one kneeling in front of the three princes at this time is no longer the prefect of An who is full of calculations and arrogance.

He had no scars on his body and was in good spirits. But the appearance of kneeling under the eyelids drooping, even the pores are telling his despair.

Dark Night handed a bulging bag to the third prince, and replied: "This is the medicinal powder found in the Anzhifu Mansion, and after being checked by the doctor over there, it is the Soul Devouring Powder and the Ten Worm Scatter. ”

As soon as he heard this, Imperial Physician Feng's face changed: "But the Western Regions Strange Poison Devouring Soul Scattering and Ten Scattering? ”

Without waiting for the third prince to answer, Imperial Physician Feng had already taken the bag and checked it personally.

Then, his already stiff face instantly collapsed: "The strange poison of the Western Regions, how can you meet it in my court?" This poison is fierce and domineering, the antidote is hard to find, and it must not be circulated in our dynasty. ”

The third prince glanced at the star fruit, and the star fruit stood up and answered one by one: "Because the Governor of An has collusion with the Western Regions." ”

She told about Cuixiang's case, her experience of being imprisoned, and finally said that An Zhifu poisoned her and Qiao An, trying to create the illusion that she committed suicide in fear of crime.

"He knew that I was proficient in medicine, and he couldn't use ordinary poison to poison me. Therefore, it is smoked on the bowl that is the Western Regions, and it is rare to see 'dream butterflies'.

Dream Butterfly itself is non-poisonous, but when mixed with the smell of corpse grass common in prisons, it is a deadly poison that has no solution. ”

She took out the bowl she had handled from her hidden sleeve pocket, and asked Imperial Physician Feng for the Misty Dream Grass and the Seven-Colored Flower. As soon as the medicinal soup was poured into the bowl by special method, the pitch-black bowl slowly returned to its original dull gray-brown color.

When the color does not change again, a thin layer of medicinal powder has appeared at the bottom of the bowl.

Imperial Physician Feng came over to check, and his expression changed again: "Sure enough, it's 'Dream Butterfly', that's right, this kind of poison that seems to be completely non-toxic on the surface is a secret poison of the royal family in the Western Regions, how can An Zhifu get it?" ”

He suddenly thought of something, and Imperial Physician Feng, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, also exclaimed: "Could it be that you are a spy in the Western Regions?" ”
