Chapter 63: The Fish Dies, the Net Is Broken, and the Desperate Gamble

The retrial of Zhu Limou's rebellion and Xu Wenchong's assassination, which was triggered by the Turkic prince case, ended the second session in the dispute over the qualification of witnesses.

From a technical point of view, there has been little progress on the merits. The first class at least pointed out so many suspicious points, and the suspect had a clear direction. Although two witnesses were presented in the second session, neither of them had time to testify in person. However, if there is no confession in court and a confession drawn, the legal effect is extremely low. Luo Li, the governor of the city, has not even had time to make a decision, whether to be a tainted witness, or to resist to the end.

Therefore, the suspenseful atmosphere after the end of the second class was strong, and the predictable pressure at the end of the third class also increased suddenly.

"Actually, I still have a circumstantial evidence that I haven't said." In the small alley at the back door of the yamen of the Criminal Department, when the carriage of the spring was passing by Du Dongchen, she lifted the curtain and said.

Today is the tenth day of October, and it is already the weather of winter. However, the Tang Dynasty is in a warm period in history, unlike the Ming Dynasty, which tragically caught up with the Xiaoice River period, so the climate is warm, similar to the feeling of late autumn. Except for the northern part of the lunar month and the new year, the rest of the time is not cold all winter.

But despite this, the curtain has also been replaced with a thick, dark blue background, embroidered with pale pink peach blossoms, and the white is in that calm and bleak atmosphere, revealing a trace of gentle spring.

Du Dongchen looked out of the car window and saw the picture of a slender hand holding the car curtain, which strongly stimulated his vision. The afterglow of the setting sun, obliquely shining down, reflected on the face of the owner of that hand, seemed to cast a faint golden-red shimmer on that sweet face, and it was incomprehensibly beautiful. In this way, it seemed to break into his eyes far away, but very close, and his heart suddenly stopped. Immediately, the bitterness gushed out, and it was topless in an instant.

Why? They said they were the right ones!

"Would you like to ask?" He forced himself to ask in a cold, mocking tone.

Chun Tu didn't seem to sense his attitude, and was still smiling. "Shortly before Zhu Li's rebellion, my grandfather inexplicably fell seriously ill, which was not suitable for the climate of Chang'an, and had to return to his hometown to recuperate for a while. I took advantage of the manpower and material resources to overturn the case this time, and investigated it by the way, because the time of my grandfather's illness was too coincidental, and it smelled of conspiracy. The result? I found out that there was something wrong with the imperial doctor Hou who treated my grandfather back then. ”

"What's the problem?" Du Dongchen asked, then pursed his lips.

This is what it looks like. There is a fragile feeling of desperately resisting the pressure, which makes Chun Tu can't bear to make a heavy hand. But to be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself. She understands this truth.

So she said meaningfully, "That Imperial Doctor is really bold, I haven't scared him yet, he did it all." It turned out that your grandfather coerced him to take the opportunity of treating my grandfather for a common cold, and he was drugged to cause him to become seriously ill, so serious that he had to recuperate for a year and a half before recovering. ”

"What does that mean?" Du Dongchen sneered. "Add another charge to my grandfather for murdering a minister of the same dynasty? Your grandfather isn't dead! ”

"My grandfather will live a hundred years." Chun Tuyu found herself very unhappy that someone cursed Bai Jingyuan, "Above the government." My grandfather never put his own selfish desires above the common good. Therefore, he had a clear conscience, and his hands were not stained with blood. Don't you understand that this is the essential difference between my grandfather and your grandfather. ”

It can't be said that Bai Jingyuan has never done anything that ignores his conscience, and no one is absolutely clean when he achieves such a high position. But she was deeply convinced. My grandfather always put the family above the individual, and the country above the family.

This is the foundation of being an official, and he has done it. He may not have been a good father or grandfather. But he was a good officer.

Du Dongchen was choked because he had nothing to say about what his grandfather and father had done. Even my aunt, who is the queen, is now because of my father's father and brother, if they are in the depths of the thorn bushes, they dare not move, but they may still be implicated.

"Lord Du, no, the hall wants to call you Brother Du, there are no real fools in the world. When this evidence is brought to the court, everyone will understand that it was your grandfather who thought my grandfather was in the way, so that he came up with this shady trick, lest anyone see through his tricks and obstruct his actions. also shows from the side that he is the driving force behind the Zhu Li case! How powerful is such evidence, legal and probative? ”

"Is this your defense method of falling into the ground?" Du Dongchen's spirit was about to collapse, but he held on.

"Nope. This is called Skynet's magnificence, negligence but not leakage. Chun Tu also looked cold, "Brother Du, you can do it yourself." ”

"However, the Bai family is not so clean." Just as Chun Tuyu was about to put down the curtain and leave, Du Dongchen suddenly said, "Do you know which genius wrote "Ten Discussions"? ”

Chun Tu only smiled, but did not speak.

Her reaction surprised Du Dongchen, and he suddenly realized something, "You know? ”

How would Chunroku know? That incident, his grandfather said it was top secret, and even Bai Jingyuan was kept in the dark. How can this girl have such great ability, is it really like some fools say, she is protected by gods and ghosts?

Where would Du Dongchen have thought that a shadow, a royal secret, and a lawsuit to gain light are the umbrellas on the head of Chun Tu.

Chun Tu nodded this time, but she didn't panic at all, because she had already prepared, "Brother Du should also know that this matter can't threaten me at all, right?" That's why you're talking to me in private, not in court. But the evidence I just gave you can be thrown on the table. ”

"Why do you say that?"

"Because when it comes to this case, it's really strange, and there is no evidence everywhere. Therefore, even if the "Ten Discussions" is my uncle's handwriting, I can also say that others imitated it. You know? The whole thing, what the Du family has done, can be completely summed up in one word, that is: cocooning and self-restraint. If it hadn't been wiped out at the beginning, how would it be suspected by everyone now? If it weren't for the fact that your grandfather's letter to the Governor of Luo Dadu was forged, you wouldn't have been able to threaten me with the Ten Deliberations now. ”

"You ......"

"Brother Du, now that the net is getting tighter and tighter, I'm just afraid of ...... You won't figure it out again. ”

Watching the carriage leave, Du Dongchen lost his soul. began to face up to Chun Tu, and he still liked to go to court, but in this case, going to court was torment for him. It's like putting yourself there and letting Chun Liu smoke all the time.

"Big brother, don't listen to Chunliu. She's bluffing! In the carriage, another person's voice came, it was Du Hanyu. She and her brother were in the same carriage, and they were hidden in the shadows just now, and Chun Tu didn't see them.

Du Dongchen laughed miserably, but he was speechless.

This sister can see how stupid she is when she encounters something. When is it, the Du family has already stepped towards the cliff. The other foot has also been pulled up, only the last bit of thrust is missing, and the entire Du family will be doomed, is she still unwilling to bow her head because of jealousy?

Anyway, he couldn't do anything, so he had to go home, die with everyone, and repay the Du family's kindness with this life. He didn't want to give up like this, but he really had no choice. I used to think that it was good to just defend. Anyway, Chunliu didn't have a certificate, but this point was easily broken through by Chunliu. The Du family has only a dead end, a dead end!

In the third class, is there any need to fight again?

"No, it's not a dead end!" When he returned home, Du Dongchen said his thoughts, and Du Heng immediately became angry and took the case.

Actually, it's out of control, right?

"Joel. You get your family out. Du Heng gritted his teeth and said.

As soon as these words came out, Du Qiao was still not doing anything, but Du Dongchen was shocked. "Grandfather, no! Although the matter is irreparable, there is no need to fight to the death! ”

Others don't know, but he knows what his grandfather's "family background" is. There is a fixed number of guards for the nobles of the Shi family, in addition, it is not allowed to raise private guards, once discovered, it is equivalent to complicity in rebellion, but the Du family has trained a group of dead soldiers. This is a secret, only the heads of the family in the past generations know that Chang'an City is full of eyeliner in the palace, and the virtuous king does not show mountains and dew, but he has the intelligence of the whole Tang Dynasty, but he has not found the power of the Du family under the table.

This group of people was originally prepared by my grandfather to help his grandson inherit the throne. After all, my grandfather knew how bloody and cruel the battle for the heir was, so he had prepared for it. But the queen's aunt did not give birth to a son, and the emperor still has no heirs. As the last force of the Du family, those private guards of the dead soldiers could have been used to escort the important people of the Du family to escape from Chang'an and even the Tang Dynasty at the last moment. Is it time to bury my grandfather ahead of schedule for the sake of his grandfather's anger and irrational behavior?

No! No way!

"Things have come to this point, and retreat is an abyss!" Du Heng's face was flushed, obviously angry, "My Du family is not a gutless rat, before the last moment, I didn't use the last method, I can't easily admit defeat!" ”

"But grandfather, the general trend of this case is gone, and the most important thing is to preserve the foundation of the Du family! In any case, the defeat is irreversible! Du Dongchen has always been filial, but at this time he tried his best to refute, "Do you want to break the net and make a desperate bet to destroy the last chance of life?" ”

"Fish dead net, desperate?" Du Heng smiled, his face did not have the usual kindness, but was terrifying and hideous, "Dongchen, you said these eight words so well, I just want to be like this." As for keeping the foundation of the Du family, it hasn't reached that point yet. It's really here, and my grandfather has his own opinions. ”

"No! Ancestral ......"

Before Du Dongchen could say far, there was a sudden sound of "pop" in the big study. Then, his eyes widened in disbelief and he fell limply.

"Father, what are you going to ......" Du Qiao was shocked, but found that it was his father, who had always loved Dongchen, grabbed the teapot on the table and knocked his son unconscious.

"Dongchen doesn't have to get involved in this matter, he is young, he can't be ruthless, and he can't break his wrist." Du Heng's face was gloomy, "He'll be fine, just lock him up and raise him for two days." You don't have to worry about anything else, bring in your family, it's time for them to help. Isn't there a witness for Chunliu? You use all your strength, and if necessary, your sister to find out where the witnesses are hiding. Hmph, if there is no witness and confession, how can the case be decided? ”
