The emperor suddenly asked Jiang Xie a question, and Tang Guogong was very comfortable standing aside.

I saw Jiang Xie step forward and salute Emperor Daye and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister really thinks that Tang Zhe is the murderer of the fall case, the specific details are in the closing statement, and Tang Zhe has already pleaded guilty." ”

Tang Guogong immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this is all Jiang Xie slandering, my son didn't kill anyone at all, this is Jiang Xie is blaming the blame!" ”

The emperor measured it in his own heart, skipped him, and looked directly at Tang Zhe who was kneeling on the ground.

"Tang Zhe, I ask you, did you kill the three people who fell to death?"

I saw Tang Zhe kneeling on the ground, his voice hoarse, and he said weakly: "Your Majesty, Tang Zhe was wronged, and the confession was forced by Master Jiang to write it like this, and it was he who made me bear the responsibility." ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his two stabbed wrists.

"You fart!!"

Jiang Xie got up in a rage and kicked Tang Zhe with one kick, kicking him directly over!

Huo Yijun was taken aback, this person was really angry!

Tang Zhe crawled forward: "Dad, help......"

Tang Guogong pulled him up to protect him behind him and faced Jiang Xie directly: "Lord Jiang, you are still so presumptuous in front of the emperor, so anxious to kill my son, you Qingzheng Si is so bent into a trick, and the case is like a god?" ”

"I ......"

Jiang Xie was just about to rush over to make up for a kick when he was stopped by Huo Yijun: "My lord, calm down, Your Majesty is still there." ”

He was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, and the next moment he turned around and knelt in front of His Majesty: "Your Majesty, the human and material evidence are all here, please be aware of it." ”

Tang Zhe knelt next to Jiang Xie this time, his tone was light, and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Tang Zhe and his scholars have no grievances and no hatred against these people, and they are still weak and sick, how can they kill these three people...... Please also be aware of it. ”

After speaking, he deliberately looked at Jiang Xie, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a touch of pride.

Jiang Xie clenched his fists tightly, and he was still acting in front of the emperor.

Huo Yijun looked at this situation and found that Tang Guogong and his move must have come prepared, and it was not easy to sort out this matter.

Tang Guogong stepped forward to argue: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Jiang Sizheng has broken down the serial case into a fall case and an eye gouging case, and he is sure that my son is the murderer, so the old minister wants to ask, what explanation should be given for the fourth case of falling to his death on the bell and drum tower?" ”

"The murderer is still committing crimes outside, and Master Jiang still slanders my son as a murderer, what does this mean!"

Jiang Xie was speechless for a while, the fall of the Bell and Drum Tower was almost the same as the criminal modus operandi of the murderer in front of him, and after being reminded by Tang Guogong, it was like taking a risk to get Tang Zhe out.

The emperor asked the eunuch Yinghui beside him: "Yinghui, is what Tang Guogong said true?" Is there really a fourth homicide? ”

Eunuch Yinghui said truthfully: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed a fourth murder, the deceased was gouged out before his death and then fell from the bell and drum tower, almost similar to the first three murders, the only difference is that he was gouged out before his death, and the others were gouged out after death." ”

"Well, that's true, and I haven't found out where the body was lost and where the eyes were gouged out, so it seems that the case is closed a little early." After listening to the words of the eunuch Yinghui, the emperor once again thought of the loophole in the transcript.

Seeing that the emperor's attitude was lax.

Tang Guogong glanced at the witnesses he brought, and these people Jiang Xie and they also knew, all of them were eyewitnesses to the scene of the crime in the three cases, including the old lady of the Luo family.

Tang Guogong asked Mrs. Luo: "Old lady, Qingzheng Division said that Master Luo was pushed down by my son and fell to his death, what do you say about this?" Do you think so? ”

Mrs. Luo's expression was extremely unnatural, and she shook her head again and again: "No, no, my grandson Luo Lai fell by himself." ”

The other witnesses were all anti-water, and the shopkeeper of the Yunshang Restaurant also insisted that the guy fell by himself, which was purely an accident.

After some re-discussion of the witnesses, Tang Guogong slapped his face and said with a smug smile: "Jiang Sizheng, did you hear it, my son has nothing to do with the fall case, these people can testify, those people all fell to their deaths." ”

"You guys!"

Jiang Xie was angry, but Huo Yijun still grabbed him, shook his head at him, and signaled him not to cause trouble again.

This collective anti-water incident was obviously carefully planned by someone.

Tang Guogong's thinking is mediocre and old-fashioned, this trick should not be something he came up with, then it may be the real person behind the scenes.

And that person has been out of the house now.

Emperor Daye relieved himself and said helplessly: "Since the witness said that it was an accident, and the case continues to develop, the situation is serious. ”

"Jiang Aiqing, I ordered you to find the real murderer within three days and calm the turmoil, what can you do?"

Jiang Xie took a breath and stepped forward to bow: "Minister, it must be done."

Tang Guogong took this opportunity and said, "Your Majesty, since it can be confirmed that the murderer is not Tang Zhe, can you let my son go?" ”

The emperor raised his hand: "Tang Guogong will take Tang Zhe home." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

So they left in a hurry, and Jiang Xie raised his fist angrily when he looked at them.

"Calm, calm"

Huo Yijun comforted again.

Jiang Xie glanced at her: "Master Huo, you wait for me outside the palace, I want to talk to Your Majesty alone." ”

"Yes!"

Huo Yijun withdrew, but she wanted to listen to the conversation between the two in the hall, so she had to linger at the door of the hall for a while.

Soon after, the sound of smashing cups was heard in the hall......
