(Cat pounces on Chinese) ugly, in Longxi Mansion, Nan Zhao has changed into a clean long dress, worried that the prince will get in the way, she has been accompanying the emperor.

Although she was temporarily blessed by the emperor, she was restless while waiting for the next witness.

With her understanding of the crown prince, if she can't attack the emperor, I'm afraid that she will find another breakthrough, and now, she is alone, there is no one to trust, only one step at a time!

"Nanzhao, the time has come!" When Father-in-law Cao came to pass the word, she picked up her baggage and followed Father-in-law Cao to the Zhanyue Pavilion of Longxi Mansion, which is usually used for banquets, because the place is spacious, and it is temporarily used as a place to try cases.

The case of King Tai'an's rebellion has always been tried by the crown prince, and all the witnesses are in his hands, and he brought them all tonight, as well as several volumes of files, which were placed in the hall of Zhanyue Pavilion.

The emperor was supported by Gonggong Cao and sat down in front of the wood carving case directly above, he didn't look at the file in detail a few days ago, and he had to look at it carefully if he wanted to try it in person tonight.

"Nanzhao, come and see too!" The emperor pointed at her and said. Nan Zhao couldn't ask for it, so he immediately walked over and picked up the file to read it carefully.

The crown prince Zhou Zheng arrived early, sat on a chair specially moved for him, leaned on the back of the chair casually, and looked at Nan Zhao carefully looking at the figure of the file.

The first volume of the dossier records that on the day of the unitary, the king of Tai'an and the national teacher Wuyazi had a dispute in front of the prison monument, the king of Tai'an used force, and the accompanying 19 Wang Fuwei people all drew their swords to face each other, and the whole team of the 100-foot armor team of the Yunzhou army guarding the monument can testify, and at the end of the dossier, the handprint of the witness was left behind.

The second volume of the dossier records that the head of the Nine Lives General Meng Gao Meng sealed the order of the prince, went to the Yunzhou military camp to check the matter of the prison tablet, and when he reached the halfway point, he suddenly encountered the king of Tai'an to assassinate the national teacher Wuyanzi, and persuaded him to no avail, and the king of Tai'an even threatened to kill the national teacher, so he would send troops to kill the emperor, and Meng Gao swore to fight to the death before the king of Tai'an and his party were taken!

The third volume of the dossier records that Sima Feng had already secretly deployed rebels in an attempt to disadvantage the emperor, but because the king of Tai'an was arrested and planned to die, he fled from Yunzhou City with several subordinates.

There are also a few volumes that are similar to the previous ones, roughly talking about how the king of Tai'an planned to rebel, as if the person who wrote the dossier witnessed it with his own eyes, and he said it more than he had an eye.

Nan Zhao gently put down the file, and at this time, Zhou Yang was also interrogated from the prison. As soon as he was escorted into the hall by Yu Linwei, although Nan Zhao had already prepared in his heart, when he really saw it with his own eyes, his heart was still tightly clenched.

The ninth brother had heavy chains on his hands and feet, and he was still wearing the clothes they had worn when they were separated outside the Bodhi Pagoda that day, but the luxurious robe on the outside had been stripped away when he entered the prison, and he wore only a white shirt lined inside, and he had been locked up in the prison for two days, and it was so dirty that it was not good.

And in just two days, her handsome ninth brother has lost weight, the jade crown tied to the top of his head has disappeared, and his hair is messy like grass, like a beggar, but his back is still straight, and he has never compromised in the slightest because of his current situation.

This kind of spirit, Nan Zhao saw it in him more than once, and the impact of such a contrast made her feel even more uncomfortable, and she was the first to ask

"The king of Tai'an has been crowned the prince, and the crime of treason has not yet been finalized, have they tortured the prince?" When he came, Zhou Yang only knew that his father was going to try his case in person, and Yu Linwei entered the prison to bring him over.

As early as the day he was arrested, he knew that everything was a conspiracy of Zhou Zheng, and he had asked to see his father and tell the truth, but Emperor Yan turned a blind eye.

And in this long two-night day, he almost recognized the reality. His father, how could he have patiently listened to a word from him?

As early as the year he was born, didn't his father look forward to his death? In the Yunzhou Heavenly Prison, it was damp and dim, and there was a smell of rot everywhere, and he thought, in his life, maybe it would stop here!

There are often regrets, but now there is only unwillingness. It's not that he didn't take this path out of the light, but that he was wrong from the beginning!

When he came, he thought about it, whether it was white silk or poisonous wine, if he could die, it would already be the favor of God, right?

But he never expected that he heard that familiar voice, and his eyes immediately lit up with hope, it was Nan Zhao!

She's back! He thought she was dead in the Epiphany! Prince Zhou Zheng took Nan Zhao's words and said

"Torture? You are a little commoner, where do you only have eyes to see that the king of Tai'an has been tortured, and there is any harm to him? Nan Zhao stopped talking, but his eyes were full of indignation and forbearance.

Although she couldn't see any scars on Brother Jiu's face, hands and feet, she knew the prince's vicious temperament very well, how could Brother Jiu fall into his hands without being punished?

There were many kinds of torture that did not leave scars on the surface, and when she saw Brother Jiu's pale face, she knew that she had suffered a lot!

"Read the dossier!" The emperor gets straight to the point. Gonggong Cao picked up the file, and after reading it aloud in the hall, Emperor Yan asked the people kneeling below

"Zhou Yang, assassinate the important ministers of the imperial court, and conspire with the Duke of Zhenguo to assassinate me and the prince, you can plead guilty!" Zhou Yang replied in a deep voice

"Father, the dossier is all nonsense, the son did not kill the national teacher, let alone plot anything with the prince of Zhenguo!"

"Then you just don't admit it!"

"If the son does such a great rebellion, may the sky thunder and thunder, and the five thunders will hit the top!" It was when his voice fell, a blinding light suddenly flashed in the sky outside, and there was a 'boom', and thunder rolled in.

The first half of the night was the night moon in the sky, and the sudden explosion of thunder, and then the oath of Zhou Yang, it was inevitable that people would reverie.

Zhou Zheng stood up and said with a worried face

"Ninth brother, you are so ruthless, you swear poisonously so close to your father, do you see, God knows that you are lying, if you want five thunders to hit the top, no one will stop you, but don't implicate your father!" Emperor Yan was indeed frightened by the thunder, shrunk on the chair behind the case, and believed that this thunder was going to split Zhou Yang, and asked someone to escort Zhou Yang outside the house!

"Your Majesty!" Nan Zhao hurriedly said loudly

"That's just a thunderbolt, if it really comes down today, the emperor doesn't want to stay away from King Tai'an, but to rectify those warlocks who scare the emperor with spells!"

"Nanzhao, you mean?" She replied with a grim face

"That thunder just now is not unusual, if the little girl is not mistaken, it is a thunder deliberately led by a warlock!" As for who the warlock was, she didn't name it, after all, she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, and it was inappropriate to speak rashly in front of the emperor.

Zhou Zheng immediately spoke up

"Father, Nanzhao said these words clearly to exonerate King Tai'an!" Nam Zhao doesn't deny it, she said

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, if the King of Tai'an is really guilty, he will never be cleared of my words, the same, if the King of Tai'an is not guilty, he will not be found guilty because of this thunder out of nothing!" After saying that, she added

"Isn't it just a thunderbolt? If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to listen to thunder, he will be free - Nan Zhao can also try to lead the thunder and split enough for His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

"You!" The prince was choked by her words. For the masters of the Taoist faction, it is not uncommon to be able to call the wind and rain, and after listening to her words, Emperor Yan also felt that the thunder was quite strange.

As an emperor, he hates others to play with him the most, and a dark light is revealed in his old eyes. Zhou Zheng is also very good at observing the eyes and feelings, so he secretly hates Nan Zhao in his heart, and his father is convinced in just a few words.

In the past, Emperor Yan was obedient to the words of the national teacher, he thought that in addition to the national teacher, the father and the emperor would be more trusted by the six gods, but he didn't expect to help Nanzhao by mistake.

If this woman is not removed, I am afraid that she will soon take the place of Wu Yazi's former position! That thunder was diverted by Nan Zhao's words, Emperor Yan ordered several witnesses to face the saint, Nan Zhao knew that in just two days, the prince would be able to get so many criminal files, and it was inevitable that someone would fall into the ground, and among all the witnesses, one of them was Wang Fuwei!

！ Although this person is not as familiar with her as the people who are looking for dragons and tigers, she is often seen by Brother Jiu, and she remembers his name, which is Xunsong.

When Nan Zhao saw the man come in, he felt very uncomfortable, but it was conceivable that her ninth brother was even more uncomfortable than her. This is what has always protected his life and death, he regards him as a relative, a brother, and the most trusted person, but he pressed a bloody handprint in the file to accuse him of rebellion!

Nan Zhao also deliberately went to look through the file with this person's testimony, which clearly stated how Zhou Yang assassinated the national teacher and launched a mutiny after consulting with the Zhenguo Gong!

"Your name is Xunsong?" Emperor Yan asked.

"Yes!"

"Did it say in this file that you were coerced into custody, or was it true? If it is coercion, I will personally try it at this moment, and I can say that I will forgive you for your innocence! "The emperor's guarantee is here, Nan Zhao and Zhou Yang are looking at Xun Song very expectantly, hoping that he can tell the truth, after all, other witness testimony can be arranged by the prince, and Xun Song is Zhou Yang is personal guard, the nature is different!

Xun Song knelt on the ground and replied righteously

"The testimony drawn by the lowly office is true, and there is no lie!" Hearing this, Zhou Yang, who was also kneeling on the ground, darkened his eyes, and the loss ran through his whole body, and he asked

"Xun Song, why are you here?"

"Lord Wang, I'm sorry, Xun Song can't lie with his conscience like other brothers, you did kill the national teacher with your own hands, and you also conspired with the grandfather of the country to raise troops, your subordinates were there at the time, you heard it really true!"

"You talk nonsense!" Zhou Yang's hands were shaking, and the resentment of being stabbed in the face by the most trusted person condensed in his eyes.

"What the humble post said, every sentence is true, please check it out!" Xun Song lay on the ground, his head gently snorted on the floor, very sincere.

Zhou Yang took a deep breath and looked up at the hanging beam above, countless sarcasms. Zhou Zheng came out while the fan was hot and personally presented another file

"Father, in addition to the witness testimony, this is the result of an autopsy." It is clearly written in the dossier that the corpse of the national teacher Wuyazi was hit by five arrows, but the real fatal wound came from a sword wound in the chest, and through the comparison of the blades of the Qinggang sword carried by Zhou Yang, it was confirmed that it was the same sword!

"The Qinggang sword of King Tai'an is cast by Tao Tie, a famous swordsmith in Fengzhou, and the blade has spiral horns, and after being cut by it, it will also leave unique scars, and the swordsmith died a few years ago, and the Qinggang sword is the only one in the world...... "The emperor finished reading and listening, regardless of the testimony and witness evidence, all confirmed Zhou Yang's crime!

But Zhou Yang has no other evidence to prove his innocence except for saying that he was wronged, and the situation is really not good!

Nan Zhao knew that if she wanted to turn the situation around, she had to start with Xun Song and the Qinggang sword, and she immediately pleaded

"Your Majesty, can you let the little girl take a look at the Qinggang sword?" Emperor Yan was also waiting for her to speak, and he was ready immediately!

It didn't take long for Gonggong Cao to present the Qinggang sword that Zhou Yang carried when he was arrested that day, she took the sword in her hand and slowly unsheathed it, and it was visible that there were still blood stains on the blade.

Nan Zhao asked

"Brother Jiu, did you use this sword when they took it away from you that day?" Zhou Yang shook his head

"No, that night I found that the national teacher and his party were ambushed, this king and all the king's palace guards came forward to check, and they were surrounded by Meng Gaomeng and other nine-life servants who arrived later, and this king didn't even draw his sword!" Of course, she believed that what Brother Jiu said was true, and confirming this would prove that the bloodstains on the sword at this moment were only later.

She looked down and sniffed the blood, human blood! Then, she closed her eyes, put her hand on the blood, and used the power of the spirit flower to sense the remaining thoughts on the blade, which really made her see some sporadic images.

It's night, galloping horses, shadows. Then, you can't see anything! The reason why Nan Zhao can see these through the sword body is not that this sword has spirituality, but that the blood does come from the national teacher Wuyazi, because it is a tragic death, there are resentments, and although Wuyazi was not a real master during his lifetime, but with the help of Tan Long, he still has some ability, and his blood itself is more spiritual than the blood of ordinary people.

But unfortunately, there is so little blood to be seen!

"Nanzhao! Have you seen it? Zhou Zheng sat back on the chair and looked at her expectantly.

This prince has laid out such a precise situation, you can use your spiritual power to break it! Nan Zhao didn't look at the prince, his eyes subconsciously looked at Zhou Yang's side, and saw her ninth brother kneeling there, as if he had given up, and his heart was even more anxious.

"Now that you're looking at it, let's take back the evidence!" Zhou Zheng said in a commanding tone. Father-in-law Cao was about to come up to collect the sword, Nan Zhao suddenly thought of one thing, if this sword was indeed the murder weapon that stabbed Wuyanzi at that time, then it could never be the one that her ninth brother carried!

Because when Zhou Yang arrived, Wu Yazi had already died of anger, and the Qinggang sword on his body at that time had not yet been unsheathed!

"Wait!" Nan Zhao bypassed Gonggong Cao's side, walked directly to Zhou Yang's side and knelt down, and asked

"Brother Jiu, take a closer look at this sword, but what do you have to say?" Zhou Yang slowly raised his head, and could look at her up close, and there was a familiar soft wave in his eyes.

Although he didn't know why she asked him to look at the sword, he did so, and after looking at it carefully, his face changed.

"This sword is not the king's Qinggang sword!" Zhou Zheng, who was sitting there, immediately stood up and emphasized

"Everyone knows that there is only one Qinggang sword in the world, and that blade is specially forged, and no one else can imitate it!" Other things were all arranged by Zhou Zheng in advance, and he had nothing to say, but about the Qinggang Sword, Zhou Yang naturally had something to say!

He took over

"Although this sword is exactly the same as the Qinggang sword, it is different! Qinggang sword is the sword that Zhenguo Gong sent to this king eight years ago, these eight years, it has been by the king's side, this king wears it almost every day, its hilt has long been sharpened by the hand to smooth and round, and this one, but it is not commonly used sword, so the hilt is new, and its blade, although it has been opened, but because of the use of less, it is very different, this sword as long as a little bit of understanding the weapon people to see! As soon as Emperor Yan heard that he had a clue, he immediately called his imperial head general, Zhao Zifeng, and showed him the sword.

Zhao Zifeng said

"Emperor Qi, this sword is undoubtedly a new sword!" Because Zhao Zifeng is not the person of the king of Tai'an and the crown prince, Emperor Yan still believes his testimony.

"Even if it's a sword that has only been cut for a short time, it's not the Qinggang sword owned by King Tai'an at all!" Nan Zhao emphasized

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there is only one Qinggang sword in this world, and it seems that His Royal Highness is lonely and unheard, no, there is one in front of him?" As for where this hit came from, didn't he Zhou Zheng know best?

Zhou Zheng replied disappreciatively

"It's just a sword, what if King Tai'an had already thought of exonerating himself, and before that, he secretly prepared another sword?" This speculation also works.

Therefore, Nan Zhao can only prove the problem of Qinggang Sword, it is not enough, she also needs to break the testimony of the witness Xun Song to prove that he is lying!

"Your Majesty...... Are you alright? Father-in-law Cao's worried voice came. Emperor Yan, who was sitting directly above, frowned and held his forehead, his head disease had been committed again!

In this case, the interrogation naturally could not continue, so Emperor Yan forcibly announced

"The next trial in this case is postponed until after dawn tomorrow." He also ordered that Zhou Yangxian be imprisoned in Longxi Mansion and strictly guarded by Yulin Wei, not only that, but he gave Nanzhao an imperial golden order, seeing this order is like seeing Emperor Yan himself, the last one to get this order is the national teacher Wuyanzi!

Nan Zhao excitedly took the emperor's order, with this order, she was unimpeded in this Longxi Mansion, which shows that Emperor Yan has basically favored her side!

Now, all the witnesses have also been moved to the side court, and the prince and the Nine Lives are not allowed to interfere, which can be regarded as giving Nan Zhao a chance to start with these witnesses before the trial.

When Emperor Yan went back to rest, she first went to the place where Zhou Yang was held to meet him alone. Longxi Mansion, the west chamber of Zhanyue Pavilion.

After changing the custody of Yu Lin Wei, the chains on Zhou Yang's hands and feet have been removed, and he can walk freely in the room, but in order to prevent him from committing suicide in fear of crime, Yu Lin guards guard him all the time.

When Nan Zhao walked into the West Chamber, he was sitting at the carved table waiting for her to come.

"Brother Jiu!"

"Nan Zhao, Brother Jiu thought that he would never see you again in this life!" When Zhou Yang said this, his eyes were bitter.

The corners of her eyes were sour, and she was anxious to apologize

"I'm sorry, Nan Zhao came back late!"

"How could Brother Nine blame you......" he sighed and said in a deep voice

"No matter how much those who want to put me to death torture me, it is only ......" and what really chilled his heart was betrayed by his own close brother!

He suddenly remembered the scene of the first time he saw Xunsong, that day, he had these titles and fiefs, he was young, and finally had the opportunity to leave Tiandu and go to a strange place without his father and brother, his heart was full of anticipation and fear, and he sat in the carriage at a loss and went to Taizhou.

Suddenly, there were several black-clothed people with swords, and more than a dozen people in the household line soon fell in a pool of blood, although he had been practicing martial arts in the deep palace for many years, but in the face of a well-trained killer was also in crisis, and he was about to be hacked to death by a sword, suddenly several teenagers wearing a uniform gray-blue robe broke in and rescued him from the hands of the black-clothed man.

He was about to thank his benefactor for saving his life, but they all knelt before him. This is the Wang Fuwei trained by his grandfather for him, at that time, they were all teenagers, although they called him master, the sincerity and purity in everyone's eyes were by no means humble!

Xun Song is one of them, they are all orphans who have been displaced at a very young age, so most of them have no names, when Sima Feng trained them, they did not use names, they all used numbers instead, and when they arrived at Zhou Yang's side, he felt that it was inappropriate to always call them numbers, so he named them.

Because that year, he was already looking for the daughter with the spirit flower, so he named them the word 'Xun'.

Xunlong felt that he was the most domineering, so he asked for the word 'dragon', Xunhu, he didn't have any ideas, since he was called 'dragon', then he was called tiger!

Zhou Yang thought of the scene back then, and couldn't help but have a faint smile of reminiscence on his face, he said

"When I asked Xunsong what name he wanted, he said that there were many pine trees in his hometown, but his hometown could never go back, and when he saw pine trees elsewhere, he would think of his hometown, so he used the word 'pine' as the name." When Nan Zhao heard that he remembered the events of the past years so clearly, he knew that only those who treated him sincerely would remember this.

Let's ask these royal families who have been superior since birth, who treats people who are lower than him like this?

Naturally not! After listening to Xun Song's story, the sky was almost dawn, Nan Zhao didn't want to delay time, so she could only say goodbye to Zhou Yang, and then, she went to the side courtyard to see Xun Song.

Yu Linwei saw her imperial golden order, and they all respectfully got out of the way and let her into the room where Xun Song was being held.

At this moment, Xun Song was dressed in the gray-blue robe of Wang Fuwei, twenty-seven years old, and his face was the fortitude of a martial artist, but when he saw Nan Zhao coming in alone, he still showed a little panic.

Forget about others, as Wang Fuwei, how could he not know Nan Zhao's ability? Just now he testified in person that her ninth brother was treasonous, she must hate him so much that her teeth are tight, and it is not difficult to imagine what she will do!

Nan Zhao didn't want to scare him, on the contrary, he still had the kindness on his face when he saw Wang Fuwei, and called him by name

"Xun Song, you don't have to be afraid of me, I want to find out the grievances for the ninth brother, even if I kill you, it won't help!" After hearing this, Xun Song had put away his panicked answer and looked at death as if he were at home

"No matter what you come to me and do to me, I will not change my confession!"

"Good!" Nan Zhao walked over in a few steps, looked at his hair, face, and clothes, and sighed

"I once saw on the streets of Yunzhou how several people were treated by the Nine Lives Servants, and you are the only one who has no injuries on his body, and even his clothes are not stained!" This only proves one thing, he was rebelled by the prince before all the conspiracies took place!

Xun Song avoided her scrutiny and stood there. Nan Zhao was about to walk up to him, and on his tiptoes, he whispered a word in his ear.

After hearing this, Xun Song's face changed, but he pretended to be stupid and answered

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Cat flutter Chinese
