Lei Yue Longmen

After the Metropolitan Procuratorate intervened, the Ministry of Criminal Justice handled the case much more smoothly.Although the steward of the outer court died in the Tu manor, there were other witnesses, from the guards, attendants, to the handymen who cleaned the courtyard, all sent inquiries one by one.

Although these people spoke the same thing about whether Fei Congyi had left the mansion, they all said that he had never been out of the mansion.And as if it was pre-arranged, even when he eats, when he goes to the bathroom, when he goes to bed, and when he gets up, the score is exactly the same.But the more detailed it is, the more suspicious it becomes.Because ordinary people generally don't pay much attention to these small things, and the case has happened for a long time, it is human nature to have biased memory.And these people's answers are all watertight, and there is no reflection or hesitation at all, as if they are often used for review.Fu Minzheng wouldn't believe it if he said he hadn't been taught in advance.It's just that they can't be forced to convict them for colluding confessions for a while, so they can only let them go home.But the next day? They were sent for interrogation early in the morning.

After five consecutive days of interrogation, Tu Yuanshan became dissatisfied and angrily declared in the court that the Ministry of Criminal Justice deliberately detained the innocent people in the Tu manor, causing the people in the whole Tu manor to panic, no one took care of them, and it became a mess.Moreover, the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have already inquired, and if there is no result, they should dispel their doubts and release him.Subpoenas over and over again, it is inevitable that there is no suspicion of deliberately targeting the Tu family!

"fart!"

This roar not only startled all the officials, but also made the golden wings behind the emperor's crown tremble.Everyone looked behind the sound source, and saw a slender figure in a purple robe and jade belt stepping in from outside the hall. He was not young anymore, with a long face and round eyes, and his eyes were like torches.There are three strands of white beard on the two cheeks and under the upper jaw, which are long in the middle and short in the sides, in the shape of an inverted mountain, but very elegant.The square-topped black gauze hat covered half of the broad forehead, half of the white hair, and three parts of the head.There are several straight wrinkles on the broad forehead, which are almost on the same level as the two horizontal iron wings on the gauze cap.The visitor was tall and thin, with fluttering robes.It's hard for people to connect the slightly indecent "fart" just like the roar of thunder and tigers with the thin, thin, and elegant old man in front of you.There was also a guard who came in with him, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty to Li Pinghong.Obviously he failed to stop this person outside the hall, which made the young man very panicked and sweating coldly.

Li Pinghong knew that with Lan Lie's fiery temper, no one could stop him.After waving his hand to signal him to step back, the purple-robed officer bowed his knees to Li Pinghong and bowed down to Li Pinghong.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Lan Qing is dead."

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor?!"

That tiger-like sound really came from his thin body.Old and strong, full of energy.Even Tu Yuanshan, who has experienced many battles and killed people like hemp, is inferior to him in terms of momentum.

When everyone saw him, no one dared to pursue the phrase "fart".Ding Guohou's face was blue and white? White? For a while, it was extremely ugly.

There is probably only one person in the world who dares to openly insult Tu Yuanshan and call him "fart" in the court hall.

"Wen Songhou, what did you mean by that just now?"

"Say you fart!"

As if afraid that he would not understand, Lan Lie emphasized it again.Seeing Tu Yuanshan choked with anger on the spot, his expression turned from unbelievable to gloomy.The air in Cen Zhu's lungs was rushing wildly, and he suppressed a smile.

But Ding Guohou was old after all, and his self-cultivation and concentration were better than hers. Even though he was insulted to this point, he didn't fight the other party.Instead, he responded to the vulgarity of the other party with a sneer.

Lan Lie has been fighting with Tu Yuanshan for many years, and has long been immune to his series of performances.This Tu Yuanshan was known as a Confucian general and a Buddhist general in his early years. After killing Liang and impersonating meritorious service, he couldn't carry his underwear anymore, and began to vigorously eliminate dissidents, using his power to bully others.In his eyes, he is the most hypocritical and shameless villain in the world.

Lan Lie turned to the throne and reported: "Your Majesty, if the case remains unresolved, it is normal to summon witnesses. Sometimes witnesses retract their confessions again and again. It is inevitable. Ding Guohou said this It’s aimed at myself, could it be that I’m a guilty conscience!”

"Wen Songhou, I have been patient again and again, please pay attention to your words."

"Your Majesty, I have obtained the evidence, and all the servants of the Tu Mansion have confessed. It is true that Fei Congyi was not in the Tu Mansion that night. Was it the dead housekeeper in the front yard? They gave false testimony, and the Emperor asked the Emperor to preview it."

Tu Yuanshan's heart sank.He didn't have much hope for those servants. Although he unified his speech and taught him how to speak, a servant is a servant, and if he shouted a little, he would reveal the secrets of the sky. Help savvy people.Therefore, he frequently put pressure on the two ministries to stop the interrogation, because the more times he was interrogated, the greater the chance for his servants to reveal their secrets.It was the same reason why he didn't testify in person at the beginning, so that he could protect himself if things failed.

"Marquis Dingguo, how do you explain this matter?"

"Back to the emperor, Fei Congyi is the adopted son of the minister, just like his own son. He does not need the instruction of the minister to go in and out of Tu's house. He came to visit that morning, and the minister told him to stay for a few days. He also agreed. That night, the minister had been taking care of his wife's condition in the backyard, thinking that he was in the front yard. However, the wife's condition relapsed that night, and I really didn't have the heart to investigate, so all the affairs of the front yard were handed over to the housekeeper.

Although I don't know the ins and outs of this matter very well, thinking about Fei Congyi's martial arts is not enough to pierce a spear through a tree trunk.Therefore, he was not the murderer who killed Lord Xiong, and I can guarantee this point.Please let the emperor learn from you. In a few words, he picked himself up completely, and said good things for his adopted son, which can be regarded as "extremely benevolent and righteous".

At this time, Li Jingchen also appeared on the list, "Father, Emperor Mingjian, Fei Congyi really does not have the skills of a murderer. Mr. Fu has already verified it in the Yamen, and many people have seen it with their own eyes."

Fu Minzheng stepped out, "That's true. That day? Lord Fei tried all his strength and couldn't pierce through the tree trunk. What's more, there was another person. Even the Lanxi guards pierced deeper than him."

When Cen Zhu heard this, he immediately took a step forward, "I heard that Fei Congyi won the post of chief guard of the Eastern Palace after he defeated Guard Lan in a martial arts competition. Now, according to Lord Fu, Guard Lan's martial arts seems to be superior to Lord Fei again. up?"

"That's wrong!" Fu Minzheng sang with her, "Guard Lan is good at strength, Master Fei wins with skill, Master Fei himself admits that strength is not as good as Guard Lan."

"Strength? Not as good as how can you win?" Cen Zhu raised his voice: "I very much suspect that Fei Congyi is deliberately hiding his strength!"

"Strength? It's not as good as it is. It is possible to win. This is the simplest truth. Where does the hidden strength come from!" Tu family officials retorted.

Cen Zhu said contemptuously: "Unless you see Fei Congyi win with skill, there is no way to prove whether he has hidden strength!"

"Then how do you want to prove it?"

"Let them fight again! In front of everyone, show your true skills!" Lan Lie shouted before it was Cen Zhu's turn this time.He and Cen Zhuo looked at each other shallowly, both of them understood each other, and he also wanted to find clues about Fei Congyi.

Li Jingchen retorted again, "I think it's inappropriate. It's really indecent for the two guards of the East Palace to fight in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Cen Zhu deliberately confronted her: "Your Highness, this statement is wrong! In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the suspicion of Chief Guard Fei can be cleared. Otherwise, a person suspected of murder will be left to guard the East Palace for a long time. , wouldn’t it put His Highness in danger.”

Li Jingchen was expressionless: "I believe in Fei Congyi, and I don't think he is the murderer."

Cen Zhu grinned, and smiled, "Your Highness? It's better not to be careless. The real danger may not be Mr. Fei, but the one who puts Mr. Fei next to His Highness!"

Her meaningful words, everyone heard the overtones.Apparently it was to remind Li Jingchen, but in fact it meant to drive a wedge between the East Palace and the Tu family.Who didn't know that she was with her on weekdays? Donggong didn't deal with it, and she didn't remind her so kindly at all.

Dun Wang felt that he had encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Without the Tu family to rely on, the East Palace would be nothing at all.

Standing up with a look of affection between sister and brother: "Father, for the safety of Huang Jie, you still have to? Verify the truth, can't you? Let the murderer stay by Huang Jie's side!"

"What kind of murderer, don't you want King Dun? Preconceived ideas!" Tu Yuanshan was suppressing a wave of anger, but at this moment he yelled violently, scaring King Dun into a shudder.Hearing his breath again, scolding him is like scolding a little chick, which means "Yellow mouth? Kid, here? How can you speak".King Dun couldn't help being anxious and angry. Li Pinghong didn't usually talk to him like this. What kind of thing is this Tu Yuanshan!

What do you want to say later, Li Pinghong suddenly closed his eyes at him, telling him to back off?Had no choice but to hold back? Swallow and go back to stand still.

"Your Majesty," Tu Yuanshan clasped his fists and said, "In order to prove Fei Congyi's innocence? I agree with Marquis Wen Song's proposal, let them fight again."

So everyone agreed, and the emperor declared Fei Congyi and Lanxi to enter the palace.Li Jingzhu took the opportunity to look back, seemingly unintentionally cast a deep glance at Cen Zhuo, and then quickly skipped over.That glance seemed particularly meaningful?Cen Zhu felt it, and thought to himself that I have done what you want, and the next? Can? Can? Achievements are none of my business.

It turned out that this was all her strategy based on Li Jingzhu's explanation in the letter.First, he used the case of the private use of royal articles by the steward of Tu's house to assert that Fei Congyi was suspected, and then found an opportunity to force him to compete with Lanxi.

At the beginning, Cen Zhu didn't know what was the meaning behind her actions.However, the guess is that it has something to do with getting rid of Fei Congyi, so he did his best.Unexpectedly, the butler committed suicide and the plan died, thinking that this matter would probably fail.Unexpectedly, another Lan Lie came out halfway, and once again locked the suspicion on Fei Congyi.

Cen Zhu didn't understand what she meant by "finding an opportunity" before. Just now, when Fu Minzheng said that Fei Congyi's long spear pierced a tree not as deep as Lanxi's, a bright light suddenly flashed in his head.Isn't this the "timing"?Therefore, he immediately seized the opportunity to question the matter, which led to a fight between the two.

As for what would happen after the battle, she was at a loss again.She just didn't understand, the Lan guards were defeated by Fei Congyi last time, if Fei Congyi was really the real culprit who killed Lord Xiong, even ten or so Lanxis were no match.What's the point of fighting again?

Lanxi, Lanxi?Why does this name sound so familiar?By the way, Cen Zhu felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Wasn't he the same guard who compared swords with Xiang Ming in the imperial mausoleum last time?That's right, why didn't she think of it!In the future, his martial arts will definitely be able to force Fei Congyi to use his real skills, and then he will be able to know whether Fei Congyi is the real murderer.

But she wondered in a blink of an eye, since he was the one fighting against Fei Congyi before, why did he lose in martial arts?It doesn't seem right!

She didn't know that the Lanxi in the imperial mausoleum was pretended by Wu Tianji, and the Lanxi who lost to Fei Congyi was the real Lanxi.I just feel puzzled.But now that the arrow is on the line, she can't allow her to think too much.

After Fei Congyi and Lanxi arrived, they didn't talk nonsense, and they were about to start the competition.At this time, a Wenwenxiuxiu official came out and said to Li Pinghong: "Your Majesty, these two heroes are subordinates of the Eastern Palace, so there is inevitably a suspicion of tacit understanding, and they can't see the real skills. We must first set a lottery!" "

Li Pinghong stroked his long? long? beard, "It makes sense. According to all the gentlemen, what kind of prize should I set?"

At this time, someone suggested, "Who won last time and who was the chief guard of the Eastern Palace? It's better to do the same this time!"

Marquis Dingguo stared at him, his face darkened, "Nonsense! The chief guard of the Eastern Palace? He has a heavy responsibility, how can he? It's just a joke?"

But there was a storm in Cen Zhu's mind.

At this moment, she finally understood Li Jing's intentions.

This is a double-edged sword!

Once the lottery head is determined to be the chief guard of the Eastern Palace?, then Fei Congyi will definitely expose his true skills and be seen by the people present as his martial arts prowess.And if he hides on purpose, he will definitely be defeated by Lanxi and lose his position as chief guard.

This is the real purpose of Li Jingbai!

She made such a big circle, ostensibly wanting to catch the murderer, but in fact, she wanted to take advantage of the case to make the expulsion fee easier.Because of the lesser of two evils, Fei Congyi will definitely choose to hide his skills, otherwise once his martial arts are exposed, his suspicion will skyrocket!At that time, he will still lose the post of chief guard?

She recalled the look that Li Jingchen gave her, not only was it meaningful, but it had some other meaning too!

Sure enough, after Tu Yuanshan objected, someone satirized again: "Didn't you win with martial arts last time? Isn't it just a joke!"

"You!" Tu Yuanshan clenched his fists, visibly angry and indignant.

"Okay, okay! There is no need to discuss any more, let's do it this way, whoever wins the position of chief guard of the Eastern Palace will be the one." Li Pinghong came forward to uphold justice, "Don't be impatient when Marquis Dingguo is safe, since Fei Congyi He was able to win last time, and if there are no accidents this time, he should be the one to win."

Ding Guohou had no choice but to resentfully agree, and nodded suggestively to his majesty Fei Congyi.

Fei Congyi received the instruction and nodded in response.I thought to myself that I don't need to show my real skills in a martial arts competition with the person in front of me, five points are enough.So he pretended to be accommodating, "Brother Lan, please make a move!"

Unexpectedly, with this promise, there is no chance to fight back.Since this contest stipulated the use of long spears, Fei Congyi saw that the opponent's attack was fierce, so he could only resist passively with spears.The rods collide with each other, making a crisp "leverage" sound, and the opponent's spear stabs, hooks, draws, spins, stirs, or kills in the air.It's not like the clumsy one that night before, it's like a whole new person.

Who do you think he is?

It is precisely Wu Tian who has changed his face again.The fake Lanxi that made Cen Zhu amazed and made Yuezhong sigh!
