Find the real culprit in three steps.

And all the people rejoiced.

Let's not talk about whether you can really find out.

Do you really want to find it in three steps, just be so sloppy, can you win people's trust?

Isn't that funny?

The prince is a fish on the board, there is no choice but to let you mess around, but we are not!

The attendant behind Dazong Zheng carefully reminded: "Lord Wang, don't you have to stop it? ”

Dazong said calmly, "How long does it take to get from here to Miyagi?" ”

The attendant was stunned, "Less than half a cup of tea." ”

Da Zongzheng said softly: "Since this person stood up, it has been far more than a cup of tea. ”

The attendant blinked his clear eyes that weren't stained with much wisdom, "And then?" ”

Da Zongzheng didn't speak, but looked at Xia Jingyun with emotion, it seems that this young man's status in His Majesty's heart is very unusual!

Dazong Zheng didn't speak, and the rest of the people didn't have anything to do with the prince, so they could only let Xia Jingyun "mess around" like this.

And the people invited by Xia Jingyun also opened everyone's eyes.

Well, it was a real eye-opener.

I saw an old Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and holding a dust whisk slowly walking into the entrance.

Although the Taoist robe on his body is old, it is completely clean, his beard and hair are all white, and his tall figure exudes the charm of a fairy wind and bones.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Incredible merit! ”

The old Taoist shook off the dust and made a gesture, "Ladies and gentlemen, the poor road is polite." ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a confused face, and they don't know what Xia Jingyun is trying to do.

Great Xia was established for many years, and in the early days, Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, so Buddhism was relatively declining in the entire Great Xia.

There is only one White Horse Temple in Zhongjing City, and because of its high status, it is still operated cautiously.

And Taoism in a few decades ago when the Great Xia was in danger of overturning, once sent a wide range of people down the mountain to relieve the poor, afterwards the situation in the Great Xia was stable, the Taoist leader at that time had a reward for the crown, so the Taoist priest in the Great Xia status is not low, every major event has the Taoist envoy to hold a ceremony.

But on this occasion, what is the purpose of inviting a Taoist priest?

Lead everyone to burn incense and pray for God's oracle?

Xia Jingyun opened his mouth and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, my lords, I happened to meet this Taoist chief on the street a few days ago, and when he saw me, he said that I could win Zhonghuiyuan this year, and I knew at that time that this was a master of the world!" ”

Looking at his serious nonsense, Qin Li couldn't help but laugh, and many of the rest shook their heads helplessly, only feeling that a serious public trial full of treachery, power and calculation, and leaving countless talking points was tossed into a farce by him.

Zhongshu Shilang couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Your Highness, although you are the presiding judge, but the court should have the order of the court, in front of so many people, try such a big case as the assassination of the grandson of Fengyang, and connive at this person to make such nonsense, what kind of system!" ”

"Eh, eh! How to speak? ”

Xia Jingyun looked displeased, "Why are you in such a hurry?" You're the real murderer, I'm afraid I'll get you out, what's the matter? Then you ask Fengyang Gong, does he want the system or the truth? ”

The old master of Qin had a dark face, still racing his acting skills, "As long as the real murderer can be found, the old man has nothing to do." But if Xia Gongzi still can't find it after making such a fool of himself, then don't blame my Qin family for also remembering you! ”

"Listen! Fengyang Gong completely agrees! ”

Xia Jingyun came as if he couldn't understand the words, and then looked at Qin Sichao, "Presumably Qin Gongzi is not afraid of shadows, so naturally he will not refuse to help find out the real murderer of Qian Gongzi, right?" ”

Qin Sichao smiled helplessly, "I'm willing to cooperate, but Gao Yang, such a strange thing, you should think about how to end it first." ”

"Qin Gongzi Gaoyi!"

Xia Jingyun also pretended to be obedient and only listened to half of it, gave Qin Sichao a thumbs up, and then made a gesture to the Taoist priest, "Daoist, today's matter, I hope you can help spy on the heavens and find out the real culprit." ”

"Wait!"

The British prince suddenly said: "When the old man was young, he also visited many real people. I don't know where the Taoist comes from, what is the Taoist number? ”

The old Taoist priest smiled slightly, "People outside the square, what is the name and surname of the teacher, but since the noble person has asked, the poor Dao is one of the twelve disciples of the Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain, the Dao number, Taiyi." ”

"Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace? Haven't you heard of this place in Daomen? ”

"I haven't heard of it, but you hear this name, how bold you are!"

"It is indeed a common name of the Daomen, this Taoist is afraid that he is a hermit master, so he will go down the mountain by chance."

The British Duke planned to wait for the old Taoist priest to say a place he knew, and then try it again, but he didn't expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he threw out the name of the Kunlun Mountain Jade Void Palace, which he had never heard of, and it didn't seem to be fake, so he couldn't refute it, so he had to shut up.

Xia Jingyun arched his hand, "The stakes are very high, and you nobles are also cautious, not intentionally targeted, and don't blame the Taoist." ”

The old man bowed slightly, full of bearing, "It's okay." Can there be a suspect? ”

Xia Jingyun said: "Right now, there are only this Prince Qin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

Lao Dao's palm flipped over, and the originally empty palm was already holding two cotton ropes at some point, "Then please choose one for each of the two nobles." ”

No one saw how these two cotton ropes were conjured, and they couldn't help but be a little more interested in this old man.

Nothing else, it's good to have fun!

The prince glanced at Xia Jingyun, Xia Jingyun nodded at him slightly, and the prince simply walked down and chose one at random, extremely cooperative.

is still the same sentence, he has been forced to a dead end, there is no way back, there is no other way except to believe in Xia Jingyun.

The prince was like this, and Qin Sichao had no choice but to choose another one.

Lao Dao lifted the two ropes, and saw that each of the two ropes was wearing a copper coin.

He was facing south, his eyes slightly closed, and his mouth was full of words, as if he were praying, as if he were praying for strength from the gods.

Then he opened his eyes suddenly, exhaled a breath of turbidity slightly, and slowly spoke, "The poor road will be burned by fire, if it is a murderer, its rope will continue, and the copper coin will not fall!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a fire fold and lit two ropes from the bottom in front of everyone.

When the flame met the cotton, it ignited instantly, and then climbed up.

Everyone's eyes looked at Lao Dao's hands, and they subconsciously became nervous, as if waiting for the opening of the casino.

The rope in Lao Dao's right hand suddenly couldn't withstand the fire, broke silently, and the copper coin fell to the ground, making a crisp sound on the bluestone slab.

It was the cotton thread that belonged to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince's face was overjoyed!

And in the left hand of the old road, the cotton thread belonging to Qin Gongzi kept burning.

With the current level of science and technology and the public's cognition, such a thing is indeed easy for them to believe with a simple world view that this is an instruction from heaven.

The fire on the cotton thread has gradually been extinguished, but the cotton thread is still hanging on the copper coin, and there is no sign of breaking half of it.

The old Taoist priest flipped his wrist and put away the cotton thread, "Two nobles, the results have been revealed." ”

Qin Sichao frowned slightly, as if he was pondering the mystery.

"Ridiculous!"

As Qin Xiang's hardcore, Zhongshu Shilang naturally couldn't tolerate such a result, and immediately slapped the table and stood up, "This is just a trick in the rivers and lakes, how can it be used to convict!" ”

The old Taoist priest glanced at him lightly, and the indifference in his eyes was as lofty as a god, which made Zhongshu Shilang, a high-ranking and powerful minister, also stunned.

"The world is dull, and it is difficult to see the heavens. Anyway, since the poor road was entrusted by Xia Gongzi, he would do another law. ”

He took out a piece of yellow paper from his sleeve, held it in his hand, and walked around in front of everyone in the hall first, "Everyone, please see, is there anything strange about this yellow paper?" ”

Everyone widened their eyes and looked carefully, but they couldn't see the reason, and shook their heads in unison.

The old Taoist priest put the yellow paper in front of him and asked people to find three sticks of incense.

He held the incense in his hand, lit it with a fire, and knelt facing south, still chanting words in his mouth, as if burning incense and praying that God would lend him a pair of discerning eyes, so that he could see this disturbance clearly.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

After a moment, he shouted and put the incense in his hand on the yellow paper.

The yellow paper was quickly scalded and then slowly ignited.

But the strange thing is that this fire, which should have spread out like ripples, is like a reef in the water, bypassing various obstacles and spreading to the rest of the places that can burn.

After a few breaths, an exclamation suddenly sounded, causing people outside the hall to stretch their necks to look.

I saw the unburned yellow paper, which suddenly took on a shape.

That's the shape of a word.

That word is written: Qin.

No one knows why, no one knows if this is the apocalypse, they only know that this is beyond their cognition, this is like a scene of heaven's will, clearly identifying Qin Gongzi as the murderer of Qian Gongzi!

Such a situation has a fatal persuasive power for them who still worship the doctrine of ghosts and gods.

Zhongshu Shilang was also stunned, if it is said once, it is a coincidence, but how can it be said twice?

Can it still be said to be meaningless?

One by one, his eyes fell on Qin Sichao's body, he had been motionless like a mountain, his eyebrows were frowning at the moment, staring at the word [Qin] on the ground that was swaying lightly in the slight spring breeze.

It seems that he doesn't understand how the other party did it, and he seems to be thinking about how to break the game.

At this moment, Xia Jingyun took the initiative to speak.

"Dao Chief, the so-called things are only three, if you want to really win the trust of others, let's better come three times, after three times, if it is the same result, presumably everyone will no longer have objections."

The old Taoist priest raised his eyebrows, "Master Xia, the poor road has a fate with you, so I am willing to help today, but you and I have a fate of three times, and in the future, if you ask for the poor road, even if it is thousands of dollars, the poor road will not make another move, can you think about it?" ”

Xia Jingyun's face was solemn, "For the sake of justice, for justice, for the sake of comforting the dead, in order to arrest the real murderer, why not spare a little calculation in the future!" But the light of the right way will shine on the earth. ”

"The death of Qian Gongzi, at first I was a suspect, then the prince was suspected, and now Qin Gongzi is suspected. The first time he cleared my name, the second time he was the prince Zhaoxue, and the third time if he was not the son of Qin, he would ask the Taoist to return the innocence of the prince of Qin! ”

After saying this, many people were swaying, and they couldn't help but think a little higher in their hearts.

And those who are really powerful and knowledgeable, such as the King of Qi, the old master of Qin, and the British duke, naturally don't believe this nonsense, but they also have to admit that on such an occasion, in front of everyone with such a free attitude, they already have the demeanor of a few big things.

"Hahahaha, fate comes and goes, gathering and scattering is uncertain, the poor road has already calculated that you will have such a request!"

The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and smiled lightly, "Breeze, bright moon!" Bring things up! ”

As soon as the words fell, two twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist children came up from outside the hall with a tray on which was placed something in the shape of a box, covered with a red cloth so that people could not see what was inside.

The old Taoist priest asked people to put a table in the middle of the lobby, and then put down the two trays, and took out a small bottle from his sleeve, and said to everyone: "This is unique to my Yuxu Palace, the pure glass bottle refined by the real person himself, the same bottle, one in each of these two boxes, this is the mother bottle, those two are the bottles, next, the old Taoist will use my Jade Void Palace secret method to practice, and later invite the two nobles to put their hands into the unsealed side of the box, just hold it, touch the bottle body, and the real murderer's hand will immediately become bright red." ”

As he spoke, he held the bottle in both hands, knelt on the ground, and muttered as before.

After reading for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, "Two nobles, please hold the bottle!" ”

Everyone looked at the crown prince and Qin Sichao.

The prince hesitated for a moment, and with the confidence given to him by the first two levels, he reached into the box.

Qin Sichao pursed his lips and also put his hand in.

The old Taoist priest waited for a moment and said, "Two nobles, please stop and show your palms!" ”

The two of them withdrew their hands at the same time, showing their palms to the crowd.

There was a buzz, and the chatter rang out.

Because Qin Sichao, who had been judged to be a murderer twice before, had clean palms, but His Royal Highness the Prince, who was about to clear his grievances, had a striking bright red palm!

The prince also sensed that something was wrong in everyone's eyes, turned his palm to look, was dumbfounded, and subconsciously shouted: "Xia Jingyun, what's going on?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Zhongshu Shilang finally found an opportunity, and he also broke the shock in his heart, "This Taiyi Dao Chief, can your family's apocalypse be different?" ”

Everyone also talked a lot, looking at this immortal wind dao master, his eyes were not in awe before, but full of doubt.

King Qi shook his head, Fang Cai thought that this young man was extraordinary, who knew that he would cause such a farce, he knew that Fang Cai should really stop him, and he shouldn't have let them mess around like this.

The British public sneered, and now as long as it is a scene that can make Xia Jingyun deflated, he is extremely happy.

As soon as this result came out, the prince was knocked to the bottom again, and by the way, Xia Jingyun was also discredited, it was like buying one and getting one free, wonderful!

The old head of the Qin family secretly said in his heart, he was still young, but he was from Xia Jingyun, and he had no way to steal the fun, so he had to continue to play his acting skills, and said with a puzzled and blank face: "Master Xia, what's going on?" Why is the result different? ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department snorted, "Fengyang Gong, do you still need to say this?" This immortal master who claims to be the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain is actually a Taoist priest who has been abducted and deceived, and the bottle is reversed, and he has smashed it! It's ridiculous that we have such a large group of important ministers in the DPRK and the central government, and we are still accompanying him here like a fool! ”

Only the head of the Black Ice Platform looked at Xia Jingyun hesitantly, judging from the information he received, this young man has always done things one by one, and he is extremely sophisticated, how could such a mistake occur?

He looked at the old Taoist priest again, and found that he was also calm, and he didn't see the slightest panic, could it be that there was something else wrong?

And gradually, these spirits slowly calmed down from the initial ridicule and surprise, because they also found that Xia Jingyun and the old Taoist priest were a little calm.

At this moment, Xia Jingyun finally spoke.

He looked at Qin Gongzi, "Qin Gongzi, I have to say, you are really smart, but unfortunately, you are not as smart as me." ”

He looked at the crowd, "The reason why this time there will be a different result than the previous one is because"

He jerked out his hand, tore the red cloth covering the box, and threw the two boxes to the ground, revealing the true face inside the tray.

"Because the two bottles in here have already been coated with a layer of cinnabar by me! As long as you hold it, your hands will inevitably turn red! No exceptions! ”

As he spoke, he held the bottle that Qin Sichao should have held just now, and then let go and opened it to everyone, revealing the same bright red palm, and then looked at Qin Sichao, "Qin Gongzi, I want to ask, why didn't you dare to hold that bottle?" Are you afraid that your real murderer's identity will be detected? ”

Qin Sichao, who had always been light and breezy, finally changed his face, and he reacted suddenly, he had fallen into Xia Jingyun's trap!

The retinue beside King Qi whispered, "Lord Wang, does this show anything?" ”

King Qi's gaze at Xia Jingyun was completely different from before, full of appreciation and admiration, and said leisurely: "This represents four words: being a thief has a weak heart." ”

He twisted his beard and sighed, "All the scenes in front of this are for the last moment, at a young age, the grasp of people's hearts has reached such a point, the future is terrible, the future is terrible!" ”

The first seat of the Black Ice Platform also had a feeling that it was really like this, Xia Jingyun's plan was really like this, always thundering in the flat ground, which made people unguardable.

The last trick is actually not complicated at all, and it can even be said to be cliché, if it is taken out directly, it is basically impossible for a smart person like Qin Sichao to be fooled.

But the ingenuity of Xia Jingyun's design is that he made two false moves in front of him.

These two false tricks seem to be useless, but cumulatively, they have brought huge pressure to the real murderer in the field, making him dare not really touch the bottle, making this vulgar trick suddenly become wonderful and become a real killer move.

And such a thing is enough to convince everyone.

At this time, the old Taoist priest brushed the dust and said leisurely: "The first two times were indeed the heavenly opportunities invited by the poor Dao, but this last time, it was only to cooperate with Xia Gongzi. ”

The prince also suddenly realized, his mood rose and fell like a roller coaster, and he climbed from the bottom to the peak.

He laughed smugly, and said with a bit of boasting: "Lonely Xing sat up straight, knowing that he was not the real murderer, so he dared to really hold this bottle, not afraid of the test, but some real murderers, who were thieves, did not dare to gamble under the miracles of the previous two times, so they had to pretend to stretch out their hands, but in fact they did not dare to hold it!" Therefore, those whose hands are dyed red are innocent, and those whose palms are innocent, but those whose hands are stained with real blood! ”

He looked at Xia Jingyun with admiration, "Xia Gaoyang! Hello skills, good thoughts! ”

Xia Jingyun was neither happy nor angry, and looked at Qin Sichao, "Master Qin, the matter has come to this, what else do you have to say?" ”

Qin Sichao slowly adjusted his mood, "I just don't want to be at the mercy of this wandering Taoist to touch that bottle, are you going to be convicted of this?" ”

Qin Sichao's words, just like the prince's self-defense before, seemed pale and powerless, and it was difficult to convince the public.

But just like Xia Jingyun's retort at the time, you said that this thing can be convicted, and everyone really can't say anything, but if you want to say that it can't be convicted, it does lack some key evidence.

As long as you carry it to death, it's really hard to say anything.

Therefore, after a moment of panic, Qin Sichao immediately adjusted his mood, saw the same loopholes, and decided to resist stubbornly.

"Qin Gongzi is worthy of being the dragon and phoenix among people, and at this time, he can still have such a strong state of mind."

Xia Jingyun smiled, "It's a pity, I happen to really have evidence!" ”

"You have the skills to control your subordinates, and you can get everyone to kill themselves for you, so that it is difficult to investigate the case. At the same time, you are also relying on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's plot against the Qin family, and it is even more difficult to prevent it if you hide below, but! ”

He looked at Qin Sichao, "There is a fatal omission in this, that is, these people under you are not saints, they also have seven emotions and six desires, they are willing to die for you, presumably you have helped them settle their families and let them have no worries." ”

"The Criminal Department, Heibing Terrace, and Jingzhao Mansion are full of experts in investigating cases, and they will naturally know to check on the families of these people, but without exception, they find that these people have no families, right?"

The head of the Black Ice Platform and Jing Zhaoyin both nodded, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department did not move, but Xia Jingyun didn't pay attention to him, but continued: "There are many cases to be investigated by the Third Division, and there are many clues, and you threw out clues in time to lead them to the prince's side, so they didn't dig deeper, but unfortunately, I was imprisoned in the Black Ice Platform, and the people under my hands were willing to help me check desperately, and they really found out something." ”

"The owner of Fenghe Pavilion entered Beijing eight years ago, married a wife and had children, but a year ago, the husband and wife turned against each other, and the wife left with her children and disappeared."

"That groom, who has been in the Qin family for several years, has long had a wife and children, but also more than a year ago, because of a new concubine, the husband and wife turned against each other, and the wife and children left and disappeared."

"But my people have found out where they are. They all now live in a remote Zhuangzi more than 40 miles outside the city, that Zhuangzi, the terrain is hidden, far away from many main roads, as if isolated from the world, it happens to be the current Xiangfu housekeeper, for their own retirement place! ”

"I believe that as long as someone is sent to arrest and interrogate him, within a day, the truth will be revealed! Qin Gongzi, do you still want to gamble? ”

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar.

Compared to the previous things, this evidence is the most straightforward thing!

If the groom's relatives were all adopted by the Qin family, then there is no need to say more about who the groom obeys?

Your Qin family can quibble and say that it is the housekeeper's own behavior and has nothing to do with me, but are you a fool to be Your Majesty and the princes of the court?

Combined with the various signs of Fang Cai, everyone is almost certain that the mastermind behind the assassination of Qin Yuwen of the Qin family is this prince of the Xiangfu who has been staying out of the matter at first and has the same surname as the Qin family.

The first seat of the Black Ice Platform bowed his head silently, with the pervasive intelligence network of the Black Ice Platform, in fact, he also knew some clues, but he couldn't say it, he didn't dare to say it.

Because speaking out is not necessarily a good thing.

Because His Majesty hoped for the fall of the crown prince, he might not be able to bring down Qin Xiang with such a case, so he made his choice.

But he didn't expect Xia Jingyun to find out such a secret, and just push it out so resolutely, he was a little curious about how this matter would develop.

The same judgment was born in the mind of the British duke.

Things have developed to this point, and Qin Sichao's identity as the real murderer can almost be clarified.

But is this enough?

This crime can bring down the crown prince because behind it, there is His Majesty who wants to use the topic to depose the prince.

But will Your Majesty let Prime Minister Qin step down because of such a thing?

After all, this matter can also be said to be Qin Xiang's ignorance, his son did evil, and then punished three glasses of wine for the crime of dereliction of duty.

Historically, have there been fewer such things?

What's more, in a hurry, His Majesty took out Qin Xiang, and there was no suitable replacement, and the court situation that he had carefully built would be ruined in one fell swoop!

Therefore, the British public gradually came to a conclusion, and he decided to give it a go!

Help Qin Sichao speak, save Qin Sichao, sell Qin Xiang a favor, and then pave the way for him to win him over in the future.

But things are often like this, thinking is good, but it is the first step.

When Britain spoke publicly, he spoke for Qin Sichao: "I look at today's affairs, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, it is better to return to Your Majesty and choose a day for a retrial." ”

But as soon as the words fell, Xia Jingyun turned his head and looked at him with electric eyes, "British Duke, don't you want to know how Lu Fengyuan, the most outstanding heir of your Lu family, died?" ”

The British public was stunned when they heard this.

Qin Sichao's face changed suddenly.

"It was the Jade Tiger Boy who killed him in the street town, yes. But he was the one who instigated him and Concubine Shu to participate in the Zheng family's rebellion! ”

Xia Jingyun stretched out his finger and pointed straight at Qin Sichao.

"It's this prime minister's son who is hiding behind his back and stirring up the situation! This man behind the rebellion in Surabaya state! ”

The whole hall suddenly fell silent.
