The shackles and shackles on Yan Sui's body have been removed, and when he moves, he kneels down and kowtows in the direction of the screen: "Thank you, Shengshang Longen." ”

The emperor on the other side of the screen said with a smile: "No courtesy." The other party Jin Rui said: "Fang Aiqing is really a good hand at solving the case, and she has lived up to my trust." ”

Fang Jinrui saluted, said that he didn't dare, and said: "Back to the saint, although the case of Renyibo being framed is over, the cause of Miss Jiang's death is still unknown, and the confession made by Shen Xiu and the people of Jiang's mansion just now proves that Jiang Ge Lao has such unbearable behavior towards Miss Jiang is really suspicious. The minister asked the saint to agree, handed over the Jiang Mansion and Shen Xiu to Weichen, interrogated carefully, and gave Miss Jiang justice. ”

Fang Jinrui made such a request in court, but it was not unexpected by Zhu Youning. He has always been upright and upright, and he can't get used to the injustice in this world, he avenged Yan Sui, and he is also impartial to find out the truth, and the same is true when he meets Jiang Gelao.

It's just that Zhu Youning believes that the discerning people present can see that there are some problems with Shen Mo's testimony and those subordinates who came out to testify. It's not that they proved that Yan Sui was beaten unconscious is a lie, but that Jiang Gelao, a high-ranking and powerful minister, raped his own daughter, is really incredible.

If this kind of news spreads and becomes known to the whole world, Jiang Ge will not want to raise his head and be a man in his life.

There was silence. They are all concerned with the meaning of the sacred.

Fang Jinrui stood straight, looking in the direction of the screen with a serious face.

A soft sigh came from inside the screen, followed by the emperor's somewhat tired voice: "Enough, this matter will be revealed." Jiang Aiqing's character I believe. ”

Fang Jinrui's pupils shrank suddenly, and he already understood something in his heart.

The silence in the hall could hear the sound of his own breathing, and the sound of the rubbing of clothes as the emperor got up was also harsh.

"Go back to the palace."

"Obey the order, the Holy One!" Xiao Zhengde's slightly shrill voice broke the silence.

Because the case is over, there is no soap who has raised his voice to spread the word, and the people don't know what is being discussed in the hall.

When the emperor boarded the chariot and slowly left, the people had already knelt down and shouted long live the excited mountain.

In the lobby, the deputy trial officials headed by Yang Ge Lao and the officials who were watching were all solemn.

Yang Ge walked up to Fang Jinrui with a smile and arched his hand: "Lord Fang's ability to try cases, the old man has seen it, and he has the means, which is very good." ”

When Elder Yang Ge spoke, his eyes fell on Yan Sui and Zhu Youning.

Fang Jinrui arched his hand and said, "You are too famous." ”

Zhu Youning didn't know if Yang Ge Lao still remembered her, after all, it was six years ago when Linshan County was unsealed, but the old man's eyes were full of deep meaning, so Zhu Youning had to wonder if Yang Ge Lao hated her too.

Yang Ge nodded to Jin Rui, and left with his hands.

With him taking the lead, the rest of the officials who were observing and the deputy judges also took their subordinates all the way out, and the hall of Shuntianfu was empty in a moment.

In the quiet lobby, you can hear the noise of the people outside and the voices of the soaps when they evacuate the people. It seems that the atmosphere in the hall is even more eerie.

"Master Fang." Zhu Youning curtsied his knees and saluted Fang Jinrui.

Fang Jinrui put away the heaviness in his heart, and when he looked at the little apprentice, he had a loving smile on his face: "Hmm." It is not convenient to see you before the trial. Have you been doing well in the capital these days? ”

"If you go back to your teacher, you've had a good time. When I heard that my teacher had come to Beijing, I was always very worried. ”

Fang Jinrui smiled and waved his hand: "Being able to get the Holy Enlightenment is very happy for the teacher's heart." You don't have to think about it. ”

That's all he can say at this time? Can it still be said that the Holy Lord usually doesn't use him much, but when he is in danger, he catches him back and pushes him to the cusp, and he is not happy at all?

That's a crime of killing the head.

Zhu Youning had no choice but to say: "There is room for the teacher's ambition to be displayed, and I am also very happy for the teacher." ”

Fang Jinrui smiled, "The matter is over, you should go back." As a teacher, you still have to stay in Beijing to listen to the arrangement of the holy order, so you can go back by yourself. ”

"Yes." Looking at Fang Jinrui's meaning, he turned out to be saying goodbye now, didn't he want her to go to him?

Just thinking about it, Zhu Youning knew that Fang Jinrui didn't want to get too close to her in the capital, so as not to involve her.

There was an unspeakable sense of powerlessness in his heart, Zhu Youning felt that he was really too small, and when he encountered the imperial power, he was really helpless.

Yan Sui and Fang Jinrui had a relationship, and today Fang Jinrui tried the case impartially to give Yan Sui Zhaoxue a chance, Yan Sui made a big gift with Fang Jinrui, and thanked him again, and saw that Fang Jinrui was tired, so he said goodbye and left.

When they went out of the gate of the yamen, the people had already dispersed.

Steward Yan, Yan Fei, Buddha Eighth Master, Dou Wanwan and Bai Ling had already prepared two carriages and stood in place anxiously waiting.

Seeing Yan Sui come out, Steward Yan and Yan Fei immediately stepped forward with their big woolen clothes and wrapped Yan Sui tightly, and Yan Fei also stuffed Yan Sui with a hand stove.

"Uncle, great!"

"Yes, uncle!"

"Miss Zhu did a really good job just now! Although we didn't have a chance to enter the hall, we were all sweating when we listened outside. ”

Zhu Youning smiled, but the gloomy color between his eyebrows did not recede, and when he saw that the eighth master of the Buddha was also standing aside, his mind moved, and he said to Yan Sui: "Uncle must be bored in Beizhen Fusi these days, right?" Interested in walking together? ”

Yan Sui immediately understood that Zhu Youning had something to say to him, and he also saw that there was a strange Buddha Eighth Master in this group of people, so he followed her meaning and said, "I also have this intention." ”

He looked down at Zhu Youning, his eyes indescribably soft.

Everyone was crowded in the crowd to witness the whole process of the trial, and they already had their own understanding of the relationship between the two.

Especially the Eighth Master of the Buddha, standing behind the adults, the case is even more real, and Jinyiwei originally had some guesses, the Eighth Master of the Buddha treated Zhu Youning as the hostess of the Bofu before, and now seeing that they have something to say, they naturally understand crookedly.

"Then I'll wait for the uncle's mansion first, and I'll see the uncle later."

Yan Sui smiled and nodded at the Buddha Eighth Master.

Steward Yan naturally protected Yan Sui every step of the way and served him in the first carriage.

Dou Wanwan and Bai Ling helped Zhu Youning into the second carriage.

The two cars slowly left Shuncheonfu one after the other.

Yan Fei and Buddha Baye watched them go away, so they all got on the horse and went back to Bofu first.

The two carriages came all the way to a spacious clearing near Shichahai. The bare willow branches were swaying in the cold wind. In the middle of the clearing, an old wooden pavilion with snow on the table top and stools, gave it a desolate and desolate feel.

There was ice on the Shicha Sea, and some children were not afraid of the cold, so they made their own skates and played on the ice, and the sound of frolicking came from afar, which diluted the desolation somewhat.

Zhu Youning and Yan Sui got out of the car one after another, and Dou Wanwan and Bai Ling had already gone to clean the tables and stools in the pavilion first, took the thick mattress in the carriage and spread it on the stools, and lit the charcoal basin that was always prepared on the carriage in the ground of the pavilion.

Zhu Youning put on a thick white fox fur collar cloak, followed Yan Sui, who was wearing a sable velvet, up the steps of the pavilion, and sat down face to face.

Steward Yan and the two maidservants stood beside the carriage, watching the master in the pavilion and the movements around him from a distance.

Zhu Youning stretched out his little white jade-like hand and hung it on the charcoal basin to bake, "Are your injuries all healed?" ”

Yan Sui smiled casually: "It's all fine, as long as you have a good life." In the North Town, Fuji did not suffer. ”

"That's good." Zhu Youning also smiled, "We are all friends, I won't talk in circles, ask in person, if you can answer, tell me, if you can't answer, I won't ask, how about it?" ”

"Know you're going to have questions." Yan Sui also put his slender and powerful hand close to the fire above the charcoal basin, leaned over and said, "If you have something to say, just ask." ”

Zhu Youning nodded, "What the hell was going on that day?" Is what Shen Xiushu said true? ”

"What I have said to you before and in court is the truth. I did lose consciousness after eating the tea, and I don't remember anything. ”

Zhu Youning lowered his eyes and bowed, "Xu is really like a drunk person, and he doesn't remember what he did?" I believe in you. But there are too many doubts in this case.

"First, since Shen Xiushu has made false testimony, how could he suddenly come to his senses and start telling the 'truth' because of Master Fang's words?

"Second, a character like Jiang Ge Lao, what woman can't find it, how can she be like this to her own daughter? It's just unbelievable, it's unbelievable.

"Third, the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion and the maids and daughters-in-law said their confessions that were too slippery, as if they had been memorized in advance, these people are the descendants of the Jiang family, and the honor and disgrace of life and death are tied to the master, and they actually didn't say a word for their master in the court, but every sentence bit Jiang Ge Lao You's incident.

"The combination of these things really can't help but think about it.

"And the most terrible thing is the attitude of the saints."

Zhu Youning raised his head and looked at Yan Sui's complicated eyes, "I can't figure it out, what the hell is going on." ”

Yan Sui looked at her frozen red nose, raised her hand to help her straighten her hair collar, and buried her entire face in the white fox fur.

"It's simple. This incident is actually a game of chess played by the saint. Counted everyone in the game. ”

Zhu Youning was stunned when he heard this, his apricot eyes couldn't help but widen, and he looked at Yan Sui suspiciously, and he couldn't care about his action of helping him straighten his collar.

"You mean ......"

Yan Sui sighed: "Actually, I woke up in Miss Jiang's boudoir that day, and I didn't see Shen Mo appear until I was taken away by the people from the Criminal Department, so I felt that something was wrong."

"I had a very good relationship with Shen Mo, and I thought he might have had an accident, or there was something hidden in it. Later, when I was in Fusi in Beizhen, I heard that Shen Mo closed the door to the people who came to inquire, and I never knew what this was for.

"It wasn't until today that I heard Shen Mo's testimony that I felt ridiculous as soon as I heard it, and saw the attitude of the saint, that I completely understood what was going on."

Yan Sui lowered his eyes and said helplessly: "You know, the treasury of the Great Zhou is empty now, and the most lacking thing in the court is silver. I've been around the saint for a long time, and I often hear some rumors. It is also known that the Holy Shrine has the intention of restoring the status of merchants and collecting legal commercial taxes for the state. ”

Zhu Youning nodded, "I also have some guesses about this, I thought about this as early as six or seven years ago." ”

"Hmm. The Holy One wants to improve the status of merchants, and intends to set up household registrations for merchants and support them. Naturally, the conservative ministers did not agree, and the dispute with the Holy Lord has been going on for a long time.

"And my appearance made the saint see the role of the merchant and taste the sweetness in it. It made the saint more determined to collect commercial taxes.

"Those people led by Jiang Ge Lao couldn't get used to me as a businessman from the beginning. He took the initiative to propose to the saint to marry Miss Jiang to me, and he really wanted to harm me.

"I know the Holy One's intentions, and naturally I know where I stand. When the saint saw that I was being targeted by Jiang Gelao, but he turned a blind eye to it, and gave me a marriage, I felt strange. Because I know that the Holy One is not a man who can be willing to be at the mercy of his courtiers. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Sui stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, looking at the children playing on the Shicha Sea, his voice was as soft as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time.

"From the time I went to Jiang Ge's old mansion to withdraw from my marriage, to Miss Jiang's death, to my imprisonment in the Criminal Department, and then to Shen Xiu's refusal to testify for me behind closed doors, all of this was arranged by the Holy Lord. I'm just a pawn that the Holy Lord uses to deal with the civilian clique. ”

"So you mean, Shen Xiu is actually a saint? What he did was commanded by the Holy Lord, and what he said was taught by the Holy Lord? ”

Yan Sui nodded silently, turned to look at Zhu Youning, and asked, "You can think about it, if this matter is simply acquitted, and there is no matter of Jiang Ge Lao having an affair with his own daughter, what will the result be?" ”

Zhu Youning thought carefully about Fang Cai Yansui's words, and recalled the whole thing and some things in the DPRK and China. Some scattered clues finally connected in her heart.

"I see." Zhu Youning said complicatedly, "If there is no affair and Jiang Ge's old virtue is not lost, even if he angers the people who should not be provoked and is removed from his official position because of the picketing of Miss Jiang's death, he is still a hero in the eyes of conservative ministers." for he was for the faith of their people. ”

But now, a few words written by Shen Xiu have made Jiang Ge's character appear so bad. Whether this is true or not, there will be people talking about it behind it.

"The Holy Lord used you to attack the conservative Wenchen, and then took advantage of Shen Xiu's unwillingness over the years to calculate when Elder Jiang Ge asked for marriage.

"The Holy Lord just stopped Master Fang from continuing to investigate Miss Jiang's case, and it seems that he doesn't want to investigate the matter of Jiang Ge Lao's affair with his daughter, it is very likely that Miss Jiang's death was done by the Holy Master, and he just wants to make this matter bigger in order to make it easier to use.

"And Elder Jiang and Miss Jiang don't have that kind of incestuous relationship at all, they can't afford to investigate it carefully, so the Holy Lord doesn't allow Master Fang to investigate."
