Sun Huai responded, stepped forward with a rosewood tray in his hand, and slowly uncovered the cover......

A piece of a burned huqin.

A few pulse case prescriptions.

A broken page of rubbing paper from an ancient book.

There is no content or provenance of the book, and I don't even know what the book is, so it is displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

Zhang Yaozhuo asked: "What does the county king mean?" ”

Without waiting for Fu Jiuqu to speak, Sun Huai explained with a smile, "Lord Zhang, these are the two pieces of evidence that the Imperial City Division found in the Medicine King Pagoda yesterday. This is the huqin used by Chen Chusheng, this is Chen Chusheng's last book before his death, and these are Chen Chusheng's medical prescriptions for comparison......"

Zhang Yaozhuo glanced at it nonchalantly.

"How can you confirm that these things belong to Chen Chusheng?"

Smack! Fu Jiuqu smiled faintly and clapped his hands twice.

Cheng Cang walked into the court with an old man with gray hair.

"Zhou Ji, the former medical officer of Hanlin Hospital, has seen Master Zhang."

Zhang Yaozhuo frowned, his expression was a little complicated.

Zhou Ji once edited the medical dictionary with Chen Chusheng back then, and he was most familiar with Chen Chusheng. However, Zhou Ji said that he was sick and old a few years ago, and resigned from his post as a medical envoy, so he did not know where to go.

Where did Fu Jiuqu dig up this old antique?

Zhou Ji reported to his home, and stepped forward to check the evidence in Sun Huai's tray.

Only picked up half a burnt huqin, and Zhou Ji's eyes turned red.

"It's him, it's his huqin."

Looking at Chen Chusheng's book again, Zhou Ji is even more sad.

"It's him, it's the handwriting of Imperial Physician Chen. Confused, he's confused. ”

Zhang Yaozhuo coughed lightly, "Old Zhou, most of the huqins look like this, and this one is not uncommon, why do you think it is Chen Chusheng's thing?" ”

"The old man naturally recognizes it."

The stem was half burned, revealing only the tail, and the barrel had a blackened mark on one end, but it was well preserved. Zhou Ji peeled off the pitch-black skin, rubbed the handwriting on the bottom, and suddenly burst into tears.

"Three-inch gentleman. This is the nickname of Imperial Physician Chen, which was given by the official family. ”

"Official?" Zhang Yaozhuo was surprised.

"In the fifth year of Jingyou, Li Yuanhao went to Song Jianxia and sent an envoy to Bianjing, the disputes between the DPRK and China were everywhere, and the battle between Song and Xia was about to break out. The old man and Imperial Physician Chen were in front of the palace together, prescribing medicine, but with little effect.

That night, Mrs. Chen played a song "Breaking the Array Music" with this piano, and the official family was able to sleep well. When he woke up the next day, the official family gave Imperial Doctor Chen the nickname of 'Three-inch Gentleman'. Imperial Physician Chen personally engraved the words on the piano and said that he would pass them on to his descendants. In order to avoid damage, the leather was redone and wrapped inside......"

After a pause, Zhou Ji's eyes widened.

"If Lord Zhang doesn't believe the old man, you can go to the official's house to confirm it...... Perhaps the official family can still think of the "Breaking Array Music" that they have heard several times in the three years of the Song and Xia War, and think of Chen Chusheng, an elegant gentleman whose medical heart is better than that of a doctor. ”

Three inches refers to the strings, which is also a traditional Chinese medicine term, referring to the upper, middle and lower three dantians. The heart of the doctor is better than the doctor, and the elegant gentleman is the praise of the Zhao official family to Chen Chusheng back then.

Xu was lamented by Chen Chusheng's tragic encounter, Zhou Ji red-eyed, and his voice hoarsely read out the text left by Chen Chusheng.

“…… Whoever I have slain is a man who deserves to die...... Don't say that the baby is innocent, but the soul is pitiful...... Bodhi beings in the world, who is not pitied? ”

In the public court, the atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.

The three classes of officials were separated on both sides and remained motionless.

Gao Miao's fist clenched, thoughtful.

Zhang Yaozhuo frowned and calmed his face, as if he was owed a lot of money.

Only Fu Jiuqu's face did not change color.

Zhou Ji finished reading it and let out a long sigh.

"Doctor Chen is kind-hearted, noble and self-despiseful, born with a compassionate heart, and is a gentleman praised by the official. The old man really doesn't know, why did he go astray and make a big mistake? ”

Fu Jiuqu closed his eyes lightly: "That's another case." ”

He briefly told the old things he heard in the Medicine King Tower.

Zhou Ji was so shocked that he could barely speak.

"The old man always thought that Imperial Doctor Chen had already returned to his hometown, teased his grandson, and enjoyed the joy of family. I didn't know that he had suffered such a bad luck? ”

After a moment's pause, he jerked his head around.

"King of Guangling County, why has this major case of exterminating the door disappeared for many years and no one has mentioned it?"

Gao Miao, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help it, and her lips opened lightly, "I'm in Bianjing, and I haven't even learned about it." ”

Fu Jiuqu smiled meaningfully.

"Maybe some people hide it and don't want this matter to make a big fuss. Zhou Lao rest assured that the Imperial City Division will re-inquire about this case, and it is bound to investigate the case and give an explanation to the innocent and tragic dead. ”

Zhou Ji nodded, stroking the huqin and sighing.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were opened, and he looked at Zhang Yaozhuo under the "mirror hanging", and there was uninhibited unruliness and wildness on his handsome face.

"If Lord Zhang thinks that the testimony of these witnesses is not enough, I still have a corpse for re-examination here, and it just so happens that Zhou Lao is here, so he can help palm his eyes and see how Ma Fan died."

Immediately afterwards, the witnesses and exhibits such as the Kabuki, the corpse, and the Yuxian San were presented to the court one by one, and Zhou Ji also confirmed Xin Yi's previous conjecture on the spot...... The cause of Ma Fan's death was related to Yu Xiansan, not Xin Yi's murder.

Zhang Yaozhuo's face changed slightly, and he motioned to Zeng Qinda to accept the evidence, and arched his hand without smiling.

"The king of Guangling County has good skills, and this government admires it!"

"Well said." Fu Jiuqu smiled slightly, "When it comes to investigating the case, my Imperial City Division is much better than you Kaifeng Mansion." ”

A chuckle, full of grace.

said arrogant words, but he didn't see anything out of line.

Zhang Yaozhuo's old face has changed.

Then, rub your beard and laugh dryly.

"The evidence given by the king of the county is extremely helpful to this case. The government will definitely carefully distinguish and clear up the case, so that the truth will come out long ago. Before that, Xiao Zhang's family still has to take Kaifeng Mansion into custody, and when the truth is revealed, if she is really innocent, the mansion will return her innocence......"

Fu Jiuqu smiled slowly, his eyes were as calm as frozen lake, and he couldn't see his anger, but his words were like knives.

"Lord Zhang ignores the witnesses and detains the innocent, does he want to find out the facts of the case, or is he waiting for an opportunity to retaliate and turn him into a trick?"

Zhang Yaozhuo suppressed his anger and shook his head with a smile.

"The king of the county has wronged this house. The water ghost case involves a wide range of cases, the facts of the case are complicated, and the officials have repeatedly ordered them to eliminate the influence, and they must not be hastily handled, and the government has to be cautious and serious. Until the suspect is solved, the government cannot let the suspect go. ”

"Humph!" Fu Jiuqu smiled coldly, "I think Master Zhang is not suspicious of Xiao Zhang's family, but of this king." Since this is the case, then you and I will go to the official family to argue and argue. ”

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The king of Guangling seems to be crazy, but in fact he is sophisticated and extremely cautious. Will he not hesitate to go to the official family for a case that has nothing to do with him?

For a while, the brotherhood between him and Zhang Xun not only shocked others, but also Xin Yi was a little surprised.

has a friend who is willing to stick a knife in both ribs, Zhang Xun is really lucky.

～～

On the day of the third year of the Emperor's reign, it was only half a month before the end of the year, and the retrial of the water ghost case in Kaifeng Mansion was spreading.

The villagers petitioned, the witnesses and exhibits were presented in court one after another, the king of Guangling County and the king of Jingzhao County came forward to testify, and Lord Zhang of Kaifeng Mansion was held accountable in turn, and the people talked about it.

It was the middle of winter, and the city of Bianjing was covered with silver.

In the snow curtain that was blowing one after another, Fu Jiuqu rode his horse and hoofed and went straight into the Sifang City and went to the Funing Palace. Zhang Yaozhuo was afraid that Fu Jiuqu would play right and wrong in front of the officials, and he would suffer a big loss after falling behind, so he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly took a small sedan chair into the palace.

Funing Hall Warm Pavilion.

Zhao Guanjia summoned Fu Jiuqu, who was asking for guilt, and Zhang Yaozhuo, who was complaining and complaining, and listened to him express his opinions with a frown.

Zhang Yaozhuo believes that Fu Jiuqu's witness evidence can only prove that Cui You is Chen Chusheng, and that he planned and carried out the Zhangjiacun water ghost case, but he cannot clear Xin Yi's suspicions, and she may be Chen Chusheng's accomplice.

Because, this little Zhang didn't know Qi Huang before, and suddenly his medical skills improved, he used to be lazy and ignorant, and suddenly he was smart and clever, and there were too many doubts on his body, so he couldn't easily conclude that he was not guilty, and he still needed to be carefully investigated.

Fu Jiuqu used Zhang Yaozhuo's torture of witnesses into a trick, corrected evidence and colluded confessions, framed the crime, and framed Zhang Duyu's widow who sacrificed her life for the country. In the absence of substantiated evidence, she maliciously led her to testify against the officials of the imperial court, and the party was a traitor with each other, and her actions were shameful and her heart could be punished.

Both of them have their own reasoning.

One has to be caught and the other has to be released, and there is a stalemate.

Zhao Guanjia had a headache when he got up in the morning, but he had always been diligent in government affairs, and his body was not happy, so he still insisted on listening to the government.

To the emperor, the life or death of a village woman was insignificant. Balancing the court, calming the disputes among the courtiers, and maintaining the stability of the court are the most important national and imperial affairs.

At this time, the chamberlain came to spread the word again.

"The official, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace asked Cao Yi to see."

Zhao Guanjia rubbed his forehead, "Xuan!" ”

Cao Yi was dressed elegantly and handsomely in an official uniform, and his air was magnificent, he calmly entered the hall and knocked to see him, but before he explained his intention, Zhao Guanjia snorted coldly.

"You're also here for Little Lady Zhang?"

Cao Yi was stunned and smiled.

"Yes, Weichen is here for Little Lady Zhang."

Zhao Guanjia's face sank.

The courtiers were not in harmony, and it was already nerve-wracking, and this was another disturbance, which made him have a more and more severe headache.

"My humerus minister is fighting for a woman, making a lot of trouble, and the government and the opposition are restless! Hmph, I'm not afraid of being laughed at when I spread it. ”

Zhang Yaozhuo: "The official family, Weichen is to claim justice. ”

Fu Jiuqu: "Weichen promised to protect the old and young in his family from Xingyuan, and he should be a promise." ”

"What about you?" Zhao Guanjia turned his head to look at Cao Yi, "Why have you been running for her again and again?" ”

Cao Yi lowered his head and arched his hand, unable to see his expression, but his tone was as calm as water.

"Official, Weichen likes her."

I didn't seem to hesitate to like it. Not only was the emperor stunned, but even Fu Jiuqu and Zhang Yaozhuo were shocked.
