The fact that the murderer could be in this court shocked everyone present.

The first to react was Liu Jin, who immediately took a few wrestlers to protect Zhu Youji's left and right sides, and the Jinyi guards led by Wang Xiang were like facing a great enemy.

The eyes of important ministers such as Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, and Li Si, the secretary of the household department, were dazed, and they also looked left and right vigilantly, more looking for the murderer.

The reactions of Rui Anbo Wang Yuan and Chang Ning Bo Zhou Yu were intriguing, and they silently turned their heads to look at someone standing next to them.

The people under the hall were frantically eating melons, and they originally came to watch this horrific tragedy, but they didn't want the emperor to come in person, but now there is a big reversal.

What shocked them the most was that at this moment, after the identification of the painter Bai Zihua, the murderer of that day was actually in this court.

The atmosphere in the public hall was once like a lack of oxygen, and it was very quiet.

It's just that no murderer jumped out to admit the crime, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then silently cast a respectful and puzzled gaze on Zhu Youji above.

Zhu Youzhu handed the selected portrait to Liu Jin, and Liu Jin showed the portrait to everyone present, and the appearance of the murderer was revealed.

Hey?

This portrait is vividly painted, not only showing the facial features of the person, but also showing the demeanor of the person, like a decisive young man.

When they saw the portrait displayed by Liu Jin, everyone understood why the emperor had just said those words, and immediately turned their heads to look at Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang.

"You don't think the person in the painting is Benhou, do you?" Sun Ming felt the gaze around him, and immediately looked at Li Yu and the others with unkind eyes.

No way!

The people in the hall naturally couldn't see the portrait clearly, but when they saw that everyone in the hall looked at Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, they also shook their heads in unison.

Not to mention that it is impossible for the dignified Huichang Marquis to do such a cruel and inhumane thing, even if the Huichang Marquis really wants to do it, he will send his subordinates to it, instead of personally leading the team to destroy the door.

"Hou Huichang, don't you think this person is very kind?" Zhu Youzhu saw that the Marquis of Huichang wanted to pretend to be confused, so he asked directly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the person in this portrait is indeed somewhat similar to my brother Sun Duo, but it must be that this painter framed my brother, or it was caused by a mistake in painting!" Sun Ming pointed to the painter Bai Zihua who was kneeling on the ground, and accused him indignantly.

Hey?

The people in the hall watched the development of the situation, but they knew that it was the younger brother of Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, who was seriously suspicious, and even Sun Ming's younger brother Sun Duo was the real murderer.

Zhu Youzhu remembered that Sun Duo and the person in the painting "can't be said to be irrelevant, but can only be said to be exactly the same", so he looked at Bai Zihua kneeling on the ground and asked: "Bai Zihua, what do you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, the grass people are just painting according to the truth, and I don't know if it is similar to the brother of the Marquis of Huichang!" Bai Zihua shook his head slightly, not arguing.

Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, stroked his beard lightly, but he was even more convinced that Baizi's painting was not untargeted, and now Sun Duo, the younger brother of the Marquis of Huichang, was seriously suspected.

"Your Majesty, as long as Sun Qianhu is called over to the court, we will know if it is Sun Duo who led people to launder the money house!" Seeing that there had been a major breakthrough in the case, Li Si, the head of the household, immediately stood up and proposed.

Many of Wuxun's children will be stuffed into the Jinyi Wei system, Sun Xianzong's Sun Xianzong once commanded Tongzhi in the official residence of Jinyiwei, and now Sun Duo is the deputy Qianhu of the Jinyi Acropolis North Qianhu.

The proposal of Li Si, the head of the household department, was immediately supported by the accompanying ministers, but they all agreed to bring Sun Duo over and face off with the painter Bai Zihua.

Zhu Youzhu knew that the power involved in this case was extremely large, so he lightly instructed Wang Xiang: "Wang Xiang, you will immediately send someone to bring Sun Duo over!" ”

As a local Sanpin Yamen, the Shuntian Mansion naturally does not have so much authority to arrest the dignified deputy thousand households, but it is only the Jinyi Guard who went to naturally capture it.

Wang Xiang received the order and immediately sent Mu Bin to arrest people.

"Your Majesty, this matter is too absurd, and I ask Your Majesty to retract your order. My brother has studied the books of sages since he was a child, and he worships under the great Confucianism, so it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a heartbreaking thing? Huichang Marquis Sun Ming knew that things would involve him, so he even made a request.

Yin Songcheng of Shuntian Mansion seemed to know it, so he said lightly: "Wealth is moving!" ”

"Yes or no, we will know when we meet, and the Marquis of Huichang does not need to obstruct it! You Aiqing have been standing for so long, you are all tired, you sit here, Song Qing will accompany me to the back house for a walk, and the witnesses will be taken to the side hall to be strictly guarded! Zhu Youzhu decided to walk around, so he made arrangements for the tunnel.

Li Yu and the others were actually not tired from standing, but now that the emperor had spoken, they naturally had to sit obediently on the empty chair prepared earlier.

Huichang Marquis Sun Ming and other Qi Xun seemed restless at the moment, but things had developed to this point, especially Sun Duo was found out, and he could only act with the camera.

Located in the north of the city, the Shuncheon Mansion is located in the Rizhongfang, because this is the model of the world's government office, so it presents the most standard government layout, and covers a wide area.

"Your Majesty, please inside!" Song Cheng seemed to do everything without changing his color, and made a gesture of invitation respectfully.

Although Zhu Youzhi knew the layout of the Shuntian Mansion from the network in his previous life, when he really set foot here, he had a different feeling.

Bypass the screen, pass through the Gongyin Gate at the back, and enter the second hall area. The second hall is usually used to hear ordinary civil cases, and it is very quiet here.

If you enter through the door on the east side of Sando, you will come to the Sando area.

The west side of the three halls is the study, the east side is the signing room, and the north center is naturally the public hall used to hear private cases, and the signing room is the daily office of Suncheon Mansion Yin.

Jin Yiwei has already taken the first step to clear this place, so naturally there will be no idle people.

Zhu Youzhu stood outside the corridor, liking the elegance of this courtyard, but faintly heard the sound of some weaving cloth coming from inside.

"Your Majesty, please here!" Song Cheng arranged things and hurriedly walked over and pointed to the door of the signing room.

Zhu Youzhu walked into the signing room and glanced at it briefly.

This is the layout of the outer hall, which is a tea room for entertaining guests, and the inner room is an office area, and the bookshelves at the back are filled with various files.

Zhu Youzhu didn't go to the inside, and he was not interested in the official affairs of the Shuntian Mansion, so he asked lightly: "Song Qing, you just sent someone to go?" ”

"Exactly!" Song Cheng's eyes were clear, and he responded seriously.

Zhu Youji's interest was still in the current case, so he asked seriously: "Do you say you can find incriminating evidence?" ”

"I don't know! It's just that according to the minister's investigation, the evidence should be in it! Song Cheng's face did not change, and he shook his head seriously.

Liu Jin's brows frowned slightly, looking at the pair of monarchs and ministers suspiciously.

He knew that on the day when Song Cheng faced the saint, the two monarchs and ministers chatted for a full cup of tea in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but they talked about something specifically, and he was not present at the time.

Zhu Youji's brows frowned slightly, and he asked curiously: "Song Qing, you know that this case involves so much, aren't you really afraid?" ”

"When a minister reads and enters a career, he only asks for two words of axiom!" Song Cheng knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, but he responded without the slightest fear on his face.

Zhu Youzhu glanced at Song Cheng lightly, and then walked outside: "Song Qing is really good to pursue, then do you know what I want?" ”

"Foolishness!" Song Cheng couldn't guess Zhu Youji's thoughts, so he respectfully surrendered his hand.

Zhu Youzhu looked up at the sky above the courtyard, and said with great certainty: "What I want is for the country to be strong and the people to be rich!" ”

The country is strong and the people are rich?

Song Cheng's body shook slightly, although it sounded like a cliché, after all, he had heard too many lofty ideals since he was a child, but he strongly felt in his heart that this emperor was moving towards this goal.

Although he had not come into contact with the ancient Yao Shun, had not seen the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, and did not know what the nearest Yongle prosperity was like, he felt that he would be able to see a brilliant prosperous era of Hongzhi.

It's not that I think Zhu Youzhu is a Mingjun because I have been promoted repeatedly, but through my own contact and observation, I came to this conclusion.

The reason why he was able to try the case so smoothly like today was because of the support of this Ming Jun behind him, otherwise how could he be so methodical.

"I heard that Song Qing is as incorruptible as water, I don't mind if I go to the back house to have a look!" Zhu Youji's gaze fell on the door that passed through the back house, and he made a request.

Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "It seems that the clumsy inner is weaving, I am afraid that it will hinder the holy vision!" ”

"It's okay!" Zhu Youzhi was suddenly interested, and walked inside.

In fact, at this moment, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, this was like a Schrödinger's cat game, and now too many virtuous ministers in history could not stand the test.

Hongzhi Zhongxing, who was praised by later generations, were all virtuous ministers who were rare to see in a century, but the fact was that the Ming Dynasty ushered in the craziest period of large landlord annexation, and countless people could only become tenants.

The back house is the place where the family members of the Shuncheon Mansion live, and the courtyard inside is very clean, because there are few domestic servants, so it seems very quiet, and the open space also raises chickens and vegetables.

In the west wing, there was a sound of weaving, and a beautiful woman was skillfully operating the loom, and her lower abdomen was already slightly raised.

The beautiful skinny girl Xiaotao had just finished feeding the chickens and was about to go to deliver water, but when she saw the emperor coming, she just glanced at the handsome emperor, and then knelt down to greet her.

Zhu Youzhi saw this situation, but he knew that the intelligence was not deceiving.

Although the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all greedy insects, it is undeniable that there are officials among them who can clean themselves, and this black-faced young man can at least stick to his official ethics until now.

"Honorable Ann!" When Yun Niang learned that Zhu Youzhu was coming, she also stopped the live salute in her hand in a panic.

Song Cheng's expression that has not changed for thousands of years seems to have a touch of warmth, and he also introduced it to Zhu Youji: "Your Majesty, this is the clumsy Yunniang, the minister can stick to the official conduct, and it is fortunate that she takes care of the family affairs for the minister!" ”

"It's really a good helper! Yun Niang, did you weave this cloth? Zhu Youzhu nodded approvingly, and then his eyes fell on the cotton sermon on the shuttle loom.

"Yes!"

"How long have you been weaving?"

"This cloth has been knitting for two days!"

"How many days will it take?"

"One and a half days and a half!"

When questioning here, Liu Jin walked directly into the main room. Yahuan Xiaotao had already seen it, but she didn't dare to stop it, and she knew that there was nothing valuable to steal from this family.

When Liu Jin came out, he also had two hands on Zhu Youji.

"This cloth is going to the royal cloth shop!"

"Exactly!"

"Let me write a line!"

Zhu Youzhu suddenly became interested, so he decided to write an inscription on the white cloth that had not yet been woven.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Yun Niang was overjoyed in her heart, and even thanked her.

Zhu Youzhu seemed to be on a whim, so he wrote on it with a pen: "A porridge and a meal, when thinking about where it comes from, it is not easy; Half a thread and half a thread, the constant thought of material resources is difficult. ”

Song Cheng thought he was going to destroy half of the cloth, but after seeing the line on it, his eyes couldn't help but show admiration.

Regardless of whether he can succeed in creating a prosperous era of Hongye in the end, and today's son is indeed a Ming Jun with the people in his heart, and it is no wonder that he will support himself to uncover the truth of the bloody case of the Qian Mansion.

After Zhu Youzhu handed over the pen to Liu Jin, he instructed: "Liu Jin, go back and order the cabinet to draft the decree!" Yun Niang can run a family inside, and she can be a husband outside, and she will give Yun Niang four products to Mrs. Fate, give 100 cloth tickets, and a pair of jade Ruyi! ”

The current cloth ticket can be said to be real money, and it has become the hard currency in the capital nowadays, and a hundred cloth tickets can be said to be a huge amount of money.

"Your Majesty, this reward is too heavy!" Song Cheng's eyes widened, and he stopped him.

Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand to help the moved Yun Niang up, and said lightly: "I want my courtiers to be honest, but I don't want my courtiers to be honest!" It's just that the court is not rich now, this gift is for Yun Niang, Yun Niang should also focus on the baby in the womb, and work less in the future! ”

Although he had thought about paying a high salary, it turned out that a high salary could not support the incorruptible, and today's finances do not allow it, so it is an expedient measure to increase the reward.

"Wife thank you, Your Majesty Longen!" Yun Niang's tears fell, and she realized that her husband had really met a good monarch, and it was no wonder that she had been involved in the case day and night recently.

Zhu Youzhu did not stay here for long, and when he learned that Sun Duo had been brought to the court, he returned to the court to continue the trial.

After Song Cheng learned of Zhu Youji's generous gift, as if he had no worries, he called the witness Bai Zihua to the court again with a shock.

Zhu Youzhu had already returned to the throne and drank tea silently, knowing that the real drama was about to begin.

Song Cheng saw that Bai Zihua was brought up, so he pointed to Sun Duo, who had just been arrested, and asked: "Bai Zihua, do you recognize this person!" ”

Everyone present knew that this would be a crucial piece of evidence, and immediately looked at Bai Zihua with bated breath.

Bai Zihua turned his head to look at Sun Duo, immediately sat aside in fright, stretched out his hand and pointed at Sun Duo and said in fear: "Yes, yes, it was he who led people to destroy the Qian Mansion Manmen, and it was he who killed my son!" ”

The case finally ushered in a major breakthrough, and the person who slaughtered the Qian Mansion turned out to be the younger brother of Sun Ming, the Marquis of Huichang, a person who could not have imagined in advance.
