Chen Ercai's death temporarily brought the case into the first impasse, and at this time, the case was finally known to more and more people with the passage of time.

After all, the number of officers and soldiers who came in and out of the inn increased, and the people in the inn were taken away before and after, and it was difficult to hide the news from the crowd.

In addition, Liu Jin also attracted the attention of the people as the list eye, and soon there were rumors that the list eye of the current branch died mysteriously indoors, but soon, the news that the list eye was a suicide rather than a homicide seemed to be pushed out by an invisible pusher.

After this article was born, various versions were also paid successively, making people impetuous.

In the early morning of the next day, there were officials who reported one after another, and Dali Temple and the Criminal Department had to read out the case in public.

Under pressure from many parties, coupled with the fact that the progress of the case was hindered, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Mu Shaochen and Mu Wuye, as the first defendants, entered Dali Temple one after another, and Wei Jiuli, who was accused of leaking the question, also entered Dali Temple to undergo three sessions of trial.

Only then did the people know about it.

This incident immediately set off a storm among the people, after all, the imperial examination is regarded as an extremely sacred thing, and it is also the only chance for many ordinary people to enter the ranks, but if even such an opportunity is secretly operated by those clans, it will not cut off people's path.

Every scholar has been reading hard almost since he was three years old, and even the family is poor, and the family is poor and desperate, smashing the pot and selling iron for him to study, but seeing that the bright road is in front of him, he is snuffed out, and no one is reconciled.

This matter can be said to have completely touched the interests of the people, even if there is no one at home for scientific research, after all, not needing it now does not mean that it will not be needed in the future.

In addition, there is a promoter behind it, and on the afternoon of the second day when the rumors were spreading, some people began to gather in the government to ask for justice for Liu Jin and for the world's scholars.

This matter is not Ying Tianfu's responsibility, and he can't either, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after hearing that this matter is related to the Nine Emperor Princes, his face is like a bitter melon.

How is it related to the Nine Emperor Princes.

Just this year, because they Ying Tianfu has been surrounded several times, the previous one has been replaced, and this time the matter is even more serious, it is simply people sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

Ying Tianfu Yin was afraid of arousing the anger of the people, and his own black yarn was not guaranteed, so he could only play the matter up.

Wei Guojun could only hand over the matter to the prime minister, let him be responsible for pacifying the people, and participate in the case.

After all, the officials related to the imperial examination are either under review or need to avoid suspicion, and the prime minister is the person in charge of the last imperial examination, and he is a great Confucian in the world, with a certain prestige, and most importantly, the prime minister is currently a neutral faction.

The first time this incident happened, Wei Guojun suspected his sons, but he really didn't want to believe that his sons would harm his brothers by 'self-harm'.

How to fight between the princes Wei Guojun can turn a blind eye, but once it is harmful to the dynasty and the country, it will definitely touch his scales, and he has always believed that although his sons have their own thoughts, at least they will not be such short-sighted people.

Therefore, he hesitated again, but in the case, he avoided the participation of all princes and forces for the first time, and only secretly hoped that his sons would not let him down.

The prime minister did come forward to temporarily pacify the people, but before Dali Temple and the Criminal Department could breathe a sigh of relief, something happened again, and this incident provoked the people who had just been pacified.

That is, Tanhua Su Hualin suddenly surrendered to Tianfu, claiming that he could also prove that there was indeed fraud in this imperial examination.

The confession he presented was similar to what Liu Jin said, he was also deceived by Mu Shaochen, but because he was not as literary as Liu Jin, Mu Shaochen did not look for him later, but he also wrote those strategies, and when he took the exam, he understood that Mu Shaochen had obtained the test questions in advance.

It's just that he knows that his literary talent is just average, and he can get into the flower because of the prophet's test questions, and he doesn't want to live up to his family's expectations, so he thinks about making a mistake to the end, thinking that he will be a good official in the future and ask for his life to make up for his mistakes.

But Liu Jin's death made him feel uneasy, as another insider, he could not pass the accountability of conscience, and on the other hand, he was afraid of being killed, and recently he always found that someone was watching or following him, so he decided to turn himself in.

The other party's confession pointed directly at Mu Shaochen, but it was also vaguely leaked from the side of the roll call test questions.

The test questions are delivered to the examiner the day before the exam and distributed the next day, while the rest of the time is in the hands of the person in charge of the host.

The person in charge of the organizer is not the chief examiner, but he is the main person in charge of this imperial examination, that is, Wei Jiuli.

That is to directly explain that if the test questions were not leaked from the monarch's side, there is only one possibility, that is, the main person in charge, Wei Jiuli, leaked the exam questions.

And Mu Shaochen got very close to Bai Tang because of the previous poisoning incident, and Wei Jiuli also got close to the Rongguo Mansion because of Bai Tang.

Moreover, recently, the Rongguo Mansion and the Great Prince have been getting farther and farther away, and it cannot be thrown out that the Nine Emperors want to use this imperial examination to win over the position of the Rongguo Mansion.

Therefore, soon the Li Wangfu was surrounded, and even the Yude Hall and the County Lord's Mansion had people who wanted to come to the door to call Bai Tang to come out and explain.

On the side of Yude Hall, although Bai Tang had told him to make trouble before, it was obviously inappropriate at present, and he couldn't experience being so noisy, so he simply closed the door.

The county lord's mansion is also closed doors.

On the side of the palace, Yakaranzhu came out with people, scolded the people under the pretext of crusade, and then asked the guards to drive the people away, which almost caused greater turmoil, and finally Wei Jiuli came out, saying that he voluntarily went to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the case would not come out if the case was not solved, which slightly appeased the rioting people.

When Wei Jiuli arrived at the Criminal Department, Bai Tang was also in the Criminal Department.

Ying Tianfu received Su Hualin's confession and immediately transferred it to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and the people were still on the way to escort, and Bai Tang, who got the news, went directly to the Criminal Department and others.

In the eyes of others, this seems to have become a dead end that can be convicted immediately, but for Bai Tang, it is a new clue, as long as the other party is a living person.

Seeing Wei Jiuli come in, Bai Tang showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he was quickly replaced by Ran.

The location and environment are not right, and the two did not say much, let alone talk about the case.

Wei Jiuli said, "The new begonia wine has been buried in the snow, and it should be a good time to wait for this matter." ”

Bai Tang said, "When the time comes, I will use this at the Yuanchun banquet, Gan Wei is not intoxicating, Yuan'er and the Queen Mother also like it very much, and leave a few bottles to send to the palace when the time comes." ”

"Okay, you can arrange it."

"Okay."

The conversation between the two stopped, as a new person had arrived in the cell.

Su Hualin was escorted in, replaced by a prisoner, and the teenager who was proud of the spring breeze before now looked depressed and decadent.

Seeing the two people standing in the cell, and seeing that their clothes were incompatible with the cell, he was stunned for a moment, and then recognized Li Wang Wei Jiuli, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes flashed with weakness and fear.

Bai Tang turned his head to look at the other party.

Su Hualin's eyes were full of bloodshots, his pupils were slightly dilated, and his eyes were covered with a layer of yellow membrane, looking haggard and tired, with a kind of malaise like ashes.

But when she saw Wei Jiuli, the emotions in her eyes were also taken into her eyes.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

Presumably in response to her reaction, Wei Jiuli didn't react, just glanced at it lightly, as if he was just looking at an unrelated stranger, and after saying to Bai Tang, he let the jailer continue to lead the way.

The jailer suddenly looked bitter, this one asked himself to go to prison, and now there is no holy decree coming down, he doesn't dare to stop the other party, I was thinking if the lord of Yutang County can stop one or two, but it seems that it still can't work, so he can only take the person in with a bitter face, and temporarily arrange it in a relatively clean single cell.

Su Hualin, who had been stiff all the time, was slightly relieved until the other party left, but was pushed by the jailer behind him.

"The county lord asked you, are you deaf?" The jailer said in a vicious voice.

"What, what?" Su Hualin was stunned for a moment, but after reacting, his face changed again, he hurriedly lowered his eyes, and said firmly, "I have already said what I should say in my confession." After saying that, he kept silent, apparently directly indicating that he would not say anything more.

Bai Tang didn't need him to say anything, but looked at the squire of the criminal department who followed behind.

The waiter of the criminal department waved his hand irritably, and asked the jailer to escort the person into the cell first.

"County Lord, I don't know how you plan to interrogate, there will be a three-division trial in two hours." The squire of the criminal department is also worried.

They couldn't guess the holy will at all, and they didn't understand why the king had let the county lord of Yutang participate in the case, and asked them to cooperate with her when necessary.

When he learned that Su Hualin surrendered, Bai Tang proposed to interrogate people first, and after the waiter asked Shangshu, the other party and Dali Siqing both nodded, so they could only invite people over and wait first.

But he really doesn't think that the other party can ask anything, and if he says something disrespectful, can he still use a beauty.

Bai Tang just nodded, and just said, "I have researched a mantra pill, and I just want to try it, but it is not available." ”

The waiter of the Criminal Department was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then stammered, "Really, Mangon Pill?" What is that? Is it possible to make people tell the truth? ”

His eyes widened in disbelief, and even the idea that the other party was a little bit like that was ridiculous.

However, Bai Tang's name is like thunder, and everything she makes can be seen, and he really doesn't know whether to believe or doubt it for a while.

Bai Tang is also helpless, this is the first time she has lied, fortunately, she is usually cold, and now her face is paralyzed and will not make people suspicious.

Of course, this kind of lie is only for the people below, and the few above all know that it is a lie, but because Wei Guojun also instructed it, they are not easy to investigate, and they only think that it is probably another of Bai Tang's mastery.

"I don't know, this medicine is ...... Shangshu"

"It's all there." Bai Tang knew what he was afraid of, so he said.

When the waiter of the criminal department heard this, he immediately exhaled, since the big guys above know about it, then they are not afraid, anyway, there is a tall man when the sky falls.

Then he personally took people to the iron prison where Su Hualin was held.

Because it was about the fraud case and he was a key witness, Su Hualin was held in a felony cell, separated from other cells, and it was not accessible on all sides, only a small window the size of a two fists on the iron door.

This kind of cell and interrogation situation is not the first time Bai Tang has just asked people to wait outside and enter the prison.

The waiter of the Criminal Department kept peeking at the small box that Bai Tang held in his hand along the way, which could be described as uncomfortable as scratching his heart with a hundred claws, and he couldn't wait to verify whether this thing had any effect immediately.

However, he suddenly thought that if the other party spit out after eating this thing is still the same as before, then how can he tell if the medicine has an effect, and if it is really like this, wouldn't it be ......

He peeked at Bai Tang again, and finally closed his eyes forcefully, retracted his gaze, and suppressed his curiosity, most of the time people die from too much curiosity.

However, Bai Tang did not plan to interrogate independently this time, since he used the Shingon Pill as an excuse, he had to have witnesses.

In fact, this mantra pill is not a complete fake medicine, after taking this pill, it will make people temporarily lose the ability to think, just like a hypnotized person has no self-awareness, everything is based on instinct, and there is a little spiritual power placed by Bai Tang in it, which can strengthen this consciousness.

However, the fatal disadvantage of this pill is that people with slightly higher willpower can easily resist the drug, and it may eventually cause backlash, after all, as others suspect, how can it be confirmed that the medicine is indeed effective.

Therefore, every time she takes medicine, it is best for her to use mental power to escort her on the side to ensure that the other party is telling the truth, otherwise it will be really indefensible.

Su Hualin was holding his knees and shrunk on the wooden bed and lost his mind, when he heard the movement, he looked at everyone, and when he saw the comer, his body immediately tensed, and then he lowered his head and maintained the posture just now, as if he didn't intend to pay attention to anyone.

Bai Tang walked in, and the waiter of the Criminal Department thought about it and ordered the two of them to arrest the person.

Bai Tang raised his hand and waved it, and then looked at Su Hualin, who was even more stiff and nervous because of the order of the squire of the Criminal Department, and said, "Su Hualin, are you afraid of death?" ”

When Su Hualin heard this, his body trembled slightly, and the knuckles of his knuckles holding his knees were also white, but he still lowered his head and said nothing.

Bai Tang didn't care, just walked in, paced gently, looked at the cell casually, and his voice was still soft, "Probably no one is not afraid of death, but in this world, there are always many ways for people to be fearless of death, such as for a certain belief, for wealth, for dreams, or to save someone's life......"

With his words, Su Hualin's body became more and more tense, and the green tendons in his hands were agitated.

Bai Tang swept it casually, then lowered his eyes, and said lightly, "People are selfish, you are, and so am I, so no one is right or wrong, so everyone can only rely on their own abilities." ”

When Su Hualin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then raised his head in surprise.

Bai Tang didn't look at him again, but waved his finger and motioned for the jailer to step forward.

The two jailers glanced at the waiter of the criminal department, and after the other party nodded, they stepped forward left and right, directly ripped the person off the wooden bed, and drove him to kneel.

Su Hualin's eyes were red, and he struggled hard, but he couldn't move, he could only look up at Bai Tang who was approaching, and said, "What do you want to do?" Do you use lynching, torture into a trick? But no matter what, what I say is the truth, and it will be the same no matter what punishment you use, even if you kill me. ”

"My name is Bai Tang, you may have heard of me, and you know what I'm good at." Bai Tang squatted down slightly, and the box in his hand was opened in front of him, "This is called the Mantra Pill, it is my latest refining, which can make people unconsciously controlled, and spit out the truth, you are the first person to try it." ”

"How is it possible, how can there be such a thing!" Su Hualin was stunned, then his complexion changed greatly, he gritted his teeth and struggled, his eyes were flustered and uneasy.

"I can come up with the method of youth and immortality, why can't I make a small mantra pill, I said, we each rely on our own abilities, and I won't let you tell the truth yourself, after all, you are a smart person, and what you say is not as credible as this."

"Impossible, impossible." Su Hualin's face was as white as paper, and he struggled even more, making the jailer behind him very unhappy, and pressed him down on one knee.

Bai Tang took advantage of the situation to click on his acupoint, threw the mantra pill into his mouth, and then unlocked his acupoint, signaling that the jailer could let him go.

As soon as he was let go, Su Hualin immediately covered his throat with one hand, and put the other hand in his mouth to pull out the medicine.

It's just that the medicine melts in his mouth, and the effect of the medicine is also very fast, plus Bai Tang's spiritual power has begun to enter his brain domain.

Saying so much nonsense before is nothing more than a kind of revenge, wanting the other party to enjoy more fear and uneasiness. NPC in Ancient Times: Doctor Sees Love, Depends on You
