After reading the urgent news from Lujiang, He Ke's heart was shaken, but his face was silent.

He ordered the middle hall to rest, but ordered the officials of the four ministries to maintain order in the court, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the court.

Didn't there be urgent news back from this Lujiang? Isn't it just to help with the interrogation? Why did you suddenly take a break and leave? Qiu Shengnian, Zhang Jian and the others looked at each other, unable to understand.

And after Zhou Yangxu saw He Kenan and the others leave in a hurry, he found that his hand hanging by his side trembled involuntarily. A deep horror passed through my heart, something big must have happened in Lujiang.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is an urgent message from Lujiang." In the Dali Temple, He Kenan handed the urgent news to Gong Ruxi and others. Sure enough, I saw the shocked look on their faces soon after, and the content of the letter was indeed too surprising.

"My lords, what should we do now?" Because the content of the emergency news is too important, He Kenan doesn't know what to do.

This is not only a matter of the Zhou family's cheating marriage, but also involves the three princes, and also involves major military affairs.

"Quickly report this matter to the emperor. Lord He, you stay in Dali Temple to stabilize the situation in the court, and I, Lord Luo, and Lord Ren quickly enter the palace to ask for orders. As soon as Gong Ruxi saw the content of the urgent news, he knew that this Jingzhao was about to set off a storm again.

I didn't expect the Lujiang Zhou family to do such a thing, and what I didn't expect was that the third prince would leave such a big handle in the Lujiang Zhou family.

Luo Shijing and Ren Hongyi agreed with Gong Ruxi's statement, and the four people present knew what this urgent news represented and what impact it would have on the situation in Jingzhao, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, and several people acted separately.

He Kenan continued to go back to the Dali Temple court for interrogation, delaying the time, while Gong Ruxi and the three entered the palace to see Emperor Changtai.

Not to mention He Kenan's situation in the public hall of Dali Temple, it is said that Gong Ruxi and the other three hurriedly entered the palace. The chief officials of the three departments jointly asked to see the emperor. There must be something important, and the guards of the palace gate bureau did not dare to obstruct it, so they let it go immediately.

It didn't take long for Gong Ruxi and the three of them to be announced into the Zichen Palace.

Emperor Changtai was a little puzzled, shouldn't these three people be interrogated in Dali Temple? How can there be an urgent matter to enter the palace to ask for a meeting?

Dali Temple is already the highest place for the judgment of the judge, and there are three divisions to intervene. The matter of Deng Wengu can be tried properly, could it be that Concubine Xian and the third child obstructed this matter more?

He remembered that Concubine Xian knelt outside the Zichen Palace. A faint displeasure flashed in my heart.

"Returning to the emperor, the ministers did not dare to make their own judgments, so they came to ask for an order. This is urgent news from Lujiang, please take a look at the emperor. After briefly describing the unexpected circumstances that occurred during the interrogation, Gong Ruxi respectfully submitted the urgent interrogation.

The matter involves the prince and the army, this is the emperor's business, where do they dare to deal with it easily.

"Oh? Zhu Xu and others came back from Lujiang?? Emperor Changtai took the urgent news from Zhang Sheng and asked.

I thought to myself, this line of people is very efficient. In just a few days, news has already returned. didn't wait for Gong Ruxi and them to reply, and opened the urgent message.

"Dungeon Sixty Girls...... Secret compartment in the study...... The Seal of the Three Princes...... The number of crossbows traded is huge...... The evidence is complete, and you can return to Jingzhao in three days......" Emperor Changtai looked at the words on the urgent message, his face full of haze.

With a "snap", he pressed the urgent news heavily on the imperial case. It can be seen that the anger in the heart is strong.

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! Your Majesty, please calm your anger! ......" Gong Ruxi and the other three saw Emperor Changtai's reaction, and immediately knelt down, and could only repeat this sentence.

They didn't know what to say, and they were also extremely shocked when they first saw the urgent news, this matter was too important, and they had to ask the emperor for the will. The people of the Zhou family and Tang Yuan and others are still on the public hall of Dali Temple.

"The third prince of Xuan enters the palace! The sum of the Xuanjun Department's Shangshu Bian! Put Zhou Yangxu and others in prison! Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, immediately ban Zhou Shilang's Mansion, no one is allowed to enter or leave! No official is allowed to leak the emergency news of Lujiang, and wait for Zhu Xu to return to Jingzhao to try the case again! ”

Soon, the furious Emperor Changtai issued a series of orders, and Gong Ruxi and others hurriedly took the order to act quickly according to Emperor Changtai's will.

Therefore, Zhou Yangxu and Zhou Xueli, who were still above the public hall of Dali Temple, and other members of the Zhou family, did not understand what was going on, so they were taken into the prison of Dali Temple.

What's more, Zhou Yangxu and the rest of the Zhou family didn't understand why there was such a change, no matter how Zhou Yangxu protested and asked, the officials of Dali Temple were silent. No matter how much he coerced and lured him, and brought out the number one of the virtuous concubines and the three princes in the palace, the jailers of Dali Temple were like wood, and their mouths were tightly closed.

And the Zhou family and the third prince did not even have any news and words. It wasn't until five days later, when Zhou Yangxu and the others were taken to the Dali Temple again, that he knew what had happened in Lujiang.

Zhu Xu, Yang Jianrui and others, who set off for Lujiang, returned to Jingzhao, and when they came back, they were even more urgent than when they went, and they could catch up with the speed of the military department's eight hundred miles of urgency.

After the group returned to Jingzhao, they didn't care about resting at all, so they went to see He Kenan, Ren Hongyi and others, described the tragic situation in the Zhou family's dungeon, and explained the important evidence found from the study.

After handing in all the materials, Zhu Xu and the others were completely exhausted, and they fainted unsupportively.

The officials of the Criminal Department found a group of young girls in the dungeon of the ancestral house of the Zhou family in Lujiang, there were more than 50 people, these young girls ranged from four to twelve years old, some were newly detained, and some had been in the dungeon for several years.

Not only that, the officials of the Criminal Department also found a number of records of the smuggling of weapons by the Zhou family and the three princes in the secret compartment of the Zhou family's study, including the records of the smuggling of bows and crossbows by the Crossbow Workshop Department back then.

At the same time, the soldiers of Jiang Nanwei found a large number of bows and crossbows in another dungeon of the Zhou family, which were the bows and crossbows produced by the Crossbow Workshop Department; The officials of the Yushitai found a group of evidence of the Zhou family's perversion of the law in the Lujiang County Ya; Zhou Yangzhao has confessed to all the crimes of the Zhou family, and Zhou Yangtao is on the run; All the witnesses involved in the case in Lujiang were under the control of the Jiangnan Wei soldiers, and they were sent to Jingzhao in a few days......

The above is most of the information reported by Lujiang and his party before they fainted, and the incriminating evidence and witness confessions they handed in were enough to destroy the entire Zhou family. Together, it will also greatly affect Concubine Xian and the third prince.

According to Emperor Changtai's will, the investigation team composed of four ministries bypassed the sensitive matter of smuggling weapons between the Zhou family and the three princes, and only interrogated Zhou Xueli for the crimes of cheating on marriage and the Zhou family's imprisonment and rape of underage girls.

These two crimes alone are enough to crucify the Zhou family.

The Jingzhao Mansion soldiers who had banned the Zhou family caught Zhou Cai, who was trying to escape through the dog cave, and he was Zhou Xueli's personal manager. According to his confession. Ten years ago, when he was Zhou Xueli's personal servant, he did stay in Lujiang with Zhou Xueli for more than a month. At that time, Zhou Xueli concealed his true identity, held a wedding with Tang Yuan, and left afterwards.

Zhou Cai also confessed the truth that Tang Yuan came to the door two years ago and the Zhou family sent her to prison, and the person who was sent from Lujiang in time - the neighbors who attended the wedding of Zhou Xueli and Tang Yuan at that time, they were hunted down and killed, but fortunately they were rescued, and they also identified Zhou Xueli as Zhou Jun back then.

There was also an old man who took out the letter that asked Zhou Jun to write it on his behalf, and it was Zhou Xueli's handwriting that was checked by Lin Weili, the criminal prison officer of the Criminal Department. Zhou Xueli himself didn't remember this kind of trivial matter for a long time, but now it has become a strong evidence.

At this point, Zhou Xueli's crime of cheating on marriage was established, and the confessions of the young girl in the Zhou family's dungeon and the Zhou family's subordinates confirmed the Zhou family's crime of imprisoning and raping the young girl.

Identified by Tang Yuan's neighbors. Tang Yuan's daughter, Tang Le, was also in the dungeon of the Zhou family, but unfortunately died on the way to Jingzhao because she was too humiliated.

Zhu Xu, the waiter of the Criminal Department, Yu Weitang, the Lang of the Criminal Department, and other officials jointly signed a letter, requesting a heavy sentence for the Zhou family, saying, "The Zhou family's imprisonment and rape of underage girls are really outrageous. We can't bear to see such a miserable situation. Who has no flesh and blood relatives, and who has no love for their children? The Zhou family's sins, death is not enough to forgive! ”

The investigation team composed of four divisions quickly came to a verdict against the Zhou family, and after the verdict was submitted to Emperor Changtai, Emperor Changtai only approved two words: quasi-play!

Soon, He Kenan, the chief judge of the Dengwengu case, announced the final verdict of the Zhou family: all the people involved in the Zhou family were exiled to northern Xinjiang to serve ten years of hard labor, and there was no state-owned amnesty, and there was no reduction or reduction, and Zhou Yangxu, Zhou Yangzhao and Zhou Xueli were among them; Copying the Zhou family's property to replenish the treasury.

In order to show compassion for Tang Yuan, the imperial court allocated part of the Zhou family's family property to her as compensation, which was a considerable amount of property.

Because Tang Yuan's beating of the drum is well known, the investigation team also decided to publicize part of the facts of the case, give an explanation to the people of the world, and set the people's minds by hearing the truth straight.

When Zhou Yangxu heard this verdict in the court, he seemed to be more than ten years old in an instant, and a fishy sweet breath also surged up in his throat, and with a "poof" sound, he spurted out a mouthful of blood in his heart and slowly fell down, while Zhou Xueli, Zhou Xueyi and others shouted in horror: "Father! There was chaos in the courtroom.

Since Tang Yuan learned that his daughter was dead, he kept silent, didn't eat or drink, like a puppet, and was completely lifeless.

Now when she heard this verdict, she showed a miserable smile and howled hoarsely: "Heaven is clear! Heaven is clear! With that, she slammed into the pillar next to her with all her might, and died by touching the pillar until she fell down covered in blood, and her mouth still shouted: "Heaven is clear...... Heavenly Reason......"

By mid-July, Tang Yuan's grievances were revealed to the world, and the crimes of the Zhou family spread throughout Dayong.

The Zhou family in Lujiang was smashed by the angry people, and then set on fire at night, and the Zhou Shilang Mansion in Jingzhao was also drenched in dung at night, and the Zhou family disappeared without a trace in Jingzhao.

And the sentence "Tianli Zhaozhao" shouted by Tang Yuan before he died was also passed on by the people of Dayong and became a hot word for a while.

There are even celebrities who wrote down these four words and sent them to the official offices in various places, and the sensation caused by Tang Yuan's beating of the drums has not dissipated for a long time.
