Qian was originally left in the garrison guarded by the guards, and he didn't know what was going on, so when he was brought up, he saw two Du Zhengen at a glance, first with a shocked face, and then set his eyes on Du Jing who was standing aside.

This glance can be described as complicated, like asking for help and worrying, as if grateful and suspicious.

Du Jing only raised his eyes and glanced at her briefly, then immediately withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes again.

"Qian, can you tell which of them is true and which is false?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Qian glanced at the two people in front of him who were similarly described, and then timidly set his eyes on Ye Qianhuai.

Ye Tianhuai looked at her calmly, without the slightest aggression around her, but Qian didn't dare to look at her eyes, she lowered her eyes a little weakly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the women of the people are also ...... I don't recognize it either. By the end of her voice, she was inaudible.

"Then I ask you again, did you know that there are people in this world who are so similar to Du Zhengen's description?"

Qian shook his head again and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the women don't know." ”

Ye Qianhuai nodded and said to everyone: "Since Du Jing and the Qian family can't tell the difference, then let's wait for Shen Yuan to arrive and let them take a look." ”

Not long after her words fell, the people sent by Li Baoquan and Du Jing came back with people.

It didn't take long for Shen Yuanzheng of Tai Hospital and Jingzhao Mansion to come to the same conclusion.

"Although Lao Chen has never seen a wound from a human bite, but," Shen Yuan, who was almost old, pointed to the right ear of the death row prisoner, "according to what Lao Chen saw, the wound on this person's ear should have been three or four days ago, and now it looks like it has just fallen into a scab." ”

The angle of observation is very different.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." He spread out the right palm of Du Zhengen, who was supported by the right guard, and said, "This person has calluses in his palms and in the tiger's mouth, which is a characteristic of martial artists who use swords and guns all year round. ”

After saying that, he walked up to the death row prisoner again, spread his hands, and said, "And this person's callus is only born on the tip of his left finger, which is not the part where he holds the weapon." Xia Guan guessed that the identity of this person should be a luthier who played the huqin or the guqin. ”

After he finished speaking, the death row prisoner subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at him.

The testimony of the two pointed to the conclusion that Du Zhengen was dropped.

Ye Tianhuai didn't speak, but looked at Du Jing sideways, as if waiting for him to speak.

He still hung his head down, like a student who had done something wrong, staring straight at the ground in front of him.

"Du Jing, why are you so confused?" In the silence, Gu Shihai, who was sitting next to Ye Tianhuai, took the lead in attacking, he took the case and glared at Du Jingdao angrily, "You don't know such a big thing as the people under your hands dropping the death row prisoner, how did you control it?" ”

As soon as he spoke, Du Jing immediately knelt down and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Pavilion Elder, it was the subordinate who neglected to supervise and almost made a big mistake, I beg Your Majesty to punish you!" ”

After saying that, he slammed his head on the ground.

"What does Elder Gu Ge mean is that Du Jing doesn't know about Du Zhengen's bag drop?"

Gu Shihai stepped down from his seat, stood beside Du Jing, who was kneeling, and said to Ye Tianhuai: "Your Majesty doesn't know, there are not a few people below who secretly make private claims in order to meet their wishes. In this matter, I was afraid that the officials of the Criminal Department saw that it was Du Jing's son and nephew who was tortured, so they secretly changed the person. ”

Ye Tianhuai sneered and said, "Elder Gu Ge also said that it was to welcome the above, if there is no such meaning above, how can the people below greet him?" What's more," Ye Qianhuai looked at the Qian family, "You also heard the conversation between Du Jing and the Qian family, how can Gu Ge Lao explain this?" ”

In the face of Ye Qianhuai's questioning, Gu Shihai was not afraid, he replied: "The minister remembers that Du Jing replied that it was a lie used to coax the Qian family, but it was just a mistake. ”

"Hehe," Ye Tianhuai looked at Gu Shihai, laughed dryly, and asked, "Old Gu Ge, do you remember how old I am this year?" ”

She suddenly asked such a question, which made Gu Shihai stunned for a while and didn't answer.

Ye Tianhuai's eyes suddenly widened with anger, and he glared at him and said, "I am seventeen years old this year, not seven years old!" Gu Ge Lao replied to me with such far-fetched and loopholes, is it me or a babbling child? Gu Ge Lao, I am already pro-government. ”

Her last few words were spoken slowly and lowly, and every word hit Gu Shihai's heart.

"The small shop village mill where Du Zhengen is hiding is the Du family's property, and the guards protecting Du Zhengen are led by Du Jing's attendants, do you still want to say that Du Jing has no knowledge about this matter?" Ye Qianhuai asked.

Hearing Ye Tianhuai's words, Du Jing couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, his eyes full of incomprehension and awe.

"Your Majesty...... Where did Your Majesty hear about this? Du Jing muttered.

"I have my own eyes. Du Jing, do you think that after staying in the palace for a long time, I am blind and deaf, and I can be at your mercy? The three divisions will judge the deer as a horse, and Li Dai Taostiff on the death penalty field, Du Jing, as the secretary of the criminal department, you still don't have the slightest reverence for the law, can I still have the king's law and the heavenly principle at all? ”

There was a dead silence on the execution platform, and the crowd around the execution ground whispered instead.

The power struggles in the Dajing Dynasty have a long history, and there is no shortage of upstarts and fallen ministers in each dynasty, but these things are rarely known to the people, and the change of power is often only in the form of an edict to let the people know a result.

Because doing so will reduce the majesty of the royal family and magnates in the hearts of the people, on the other hand, it will also make things absolutely desperate, and it will be difficult to turn around.

But for ordinary people, being able to witness the emperors and magnates standing at the pinnacle of power stage such a big drama in front of their eyes is much more exciting than any book or play.

Ye Tianhuai said this in front of so many people, and it was already clear that she didn't want to leave half a way out for Du Jing, but she didn't mention Gu Shihai in her words, so she was not ready to involve Gu Shihai in this matter.

The people on this stage are all old people who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, who can't understand what the emperor means?

It's just that the Criminal Department is too important to Gu Shihai, and the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department needs a person who can be trusted in terms of relationship and ability, so Gu Shihai doesn't want to give up Du Jing easily.

Ye Tianhuai preemptively announced when he hesitated to speak: "Du Jing, as a scholar of the Criminal Department, knows the law and violates the law, because he abolishes the public for private purposes, he really loses the emperor's favor, which makes me disappointed, and I will be immediately demoted to a commoner and never hired." ”

In the surprised gazes, Ye Tianhuai looked at Gu Shihai again, and said, "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is led by Gu Gelao, and Du Jing and Du Zhengen are in custody pending trial. Elder Gu Ge, the Criminal Department is in chaos now, you have to take care of it, don't let me down again. ”
