The dispute between the two high-ranking Guangdong officials did not cause much turmoil, and they could not hide the joy brought by the extermination.

The news of the extermination of the Japanese invaders reached the city of Guangzhou, and the whole city of Guangzhou was a sensation. After confirming that the matter was correct, millions of people in the city praised it, and a great crisis that had haunted the city of Guangzhou for several days was finally resolved.

There are not many secrets in the city of Guangzhou, from the disputes arising from the face of the Japanese pirates, to Lin Haoran's resolute main battle, to how Lin Haoran carried out the suppression of the Japanese invaders, these quickly spread to every corner of Guangzhou City.

Even, the business of Huang Mi's porridge shop and Lu Chunhua's field chicken shop is more prosperous than usual.

Although Lin Haoran has been in office for less than two months, Lin Haoran has punished the people for rape and evil, and even severely punished the famous evildoers.

At the same time, a large number of pigs and sheep were sent to the military camp outside the city, and a sumptuous celebration feast soon began.

Lei Zhouwei and Guangzhou Wei also drank happily, they made great achievements, and they were naturally in a good mood. In particular, Leizhou Wei originally went to Chaozhou to suppress the Japanese, but he got things done via Guangzhou, which was undoubtedly an unexpected joy.

Most importantly, this kind of victory is more beneficial than killing the enemy in peacetime. I am afraid that it will take a year and a half to realize the beheading on weekdays, and even the high-level generals will be privately swallowed as before, but this kind of military merit can often be fully realized in one or two months.

On the afternoon of the next day, Lin Haoran did not miss the appointment and decided to conduct a public trial of the Leizhou bloody case.

As soon as the news came out, the government was immediately besieged.

The Leizhou bloody case has already touched the hearts of the people of Guangzhou City, and they all yearn for Lin Lei Gong to severely punish that villain, but whether it is the evil young Ding Lu or the evil young Yan Kuan.

Hundreds of people quickly gathered in the hall, looking forward to the outcome of the public trial of the case, so as to bring justice to the world.

If everyone may have listened to the rumors before, Lin Haoran wanted to take revenge on Yan Rudou with his personal interests, but after yesterday's battle, no one would question Lin Haoran for half a point, and they had already decided that he was the Lord Qingtian.

In the hearts of many people, they came to see how this Qingtian Lord found out the real murderer from such an extremely complicated case.

In the public court, today is different from the past, and it is Shangguan sitting in a row.

The three directors were very face-saving, and they all chose to come to observe and sit in the hall in an orderly manner. However, there are also two unhurried guests, but they are Jiang Gui and Yan Rudou, the Marquis of Dingxi.

But this is the case, not only the Guangdong bigwigs are gathered here, but also the three suspected fathers are present.

Although Lin Haoran, who was wearing a scarlet official robe, was the lowest rank, he was the chief official of the Leizhou blood case, and he had the imperial order, so he naturally would not be afraid of anyone.

He sat upright in the hall, with a fair and honest plaque on his head, and his back against the seawater crescent screen, the whole person seemed not angry but mighty, and he patted the hall and said in a deep voice: "With a suspect!" ”

The officials of the Zhuang class escorted people to the court, but saw that Ding Lu, Yan Kuan, and Jiang Jianyuan were all wearing prison uniforms. Although they were given preferential treatment, the place where they served was a cell after all, and all three of them seemed to be in a state of limbo.

"Dad, I'm innocent, save me!"

Jiang Jianyuan saw his father sitting on the chair next to him, and immediately cried and called for help.

Jiang You is over forty years old, and he has been the hereditary Marquis of Dingxi for four years, but because he does not have too high military talent, he does not hold any real power in the army, so his real status cannot be said to be very high.

Now facing his son's plea for help, although Jiang You is extremely dissatisfied with Lin Haoran's "bullying", he is suppressing his anger and saying in a deep voice: "Ah Yuan, don't be impatient!" ”

Jiang Jianyuan hoped that his father would be furious, and then forced Lin Haoran to obediently roll down from above to apologize, but seeing his father's statement like this, he knew that he still had to succumb to Lin Haoran's obscenity at the moment.

"Meet your lord!"

Ding Lu and the other three knelt down honestly and saluted obediently.

Lin Haoran was condescending, and said in a deep voice with the majesty of the chief judge: "You and the other three of you, tell the story of that day to this mansion!" If there is the slightest untruth, don't blame the government for punishing you! ”

"Yes!"

The three evil young men had already been worn off most of their sharpness, and replied honestly.

After Lin Haoran gave a warning, he asked the three of them to tell again.

Ding Lu followed the previous confession, and after receiving Jiang Jianyuan's letter, he did not rush out of the city to chase Jiang Jianyuan, but stayed in a private house for the night, and set off for Guangzhou early the next morning.

Yan Kuan's confession also remained unchanged, after receiving Jiang Jianyuan's letter, he set off to chase Jiang Jianyuan and chased all the way back to Guangzhou City from Leizhou City, so he was not in Leizhou City on the night of the crime.

When it was Jiang Jianyuan's turn, facing the interrogation of where he was on the night of the tenth day of the first month, Jiang Jianyuan looked distracted, and his entire forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

Lin Haoran looked at him and couldn't say a word for a long time, so he picked up a few confessions and threw them, and suddenly changed color and asked: "Jiang Gongzi, you said that you left Leizhou City with a letter, but why did someone see you drinking flower wine in Chunfeng Tower on the tenth night of the first lunar month?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Jianyuan, and his suspicion was greatly enhanced.

"My lord, please forgive me! I...... I did lie last time, and although I left a letter for the two of them, I didn't leave Leizhou City that night! Jiang Jianyuan stubbornly admitted, but quickly explained: "I didn't do that kind of thing that lost my conscience, and I ask my lord to be clear!" ”

Originally, he did not leave Leizhou City that day, but played a trick. He paid for the steward, and let the sea vessel declare that it would be suspended for three days, and in fact he returned to Guangzhou on the next day's ship.

"What else to check, I think it's him!"

"Isn't it? This must have been set up by him! ”

"The confession is the same at one time, and the words of this kind of person are not credible at all!"

……

The people in the hall immediately discussed a lot, and the spearhead was pointed at Jiang Jianyuan, and they all made accusations.

Jiang You's face sank like water, once it was confirmed that his son did it, not only would his son be beheaded, but they were afraid that the title of Marquis of Dingxi would be smashed in his hands, which was undoubtedly a shame to the ancestors and ancestors.

"Silence!"

Lin Haoran slapped the shocked wood and said in a deep voice.

"Might-Might!"

Twelve tall soap guards slammed their long sticks of fire and water into the ground, making a scalp-tingling sound, causing the people in the hall to quickly regain quiet.

Lin Haoran looked at Jiang Jianyuan, but said lightly: "What is the fact, this government will find out!" ”

When Jiang Jianyuan heard this, his heart fell slightly.

Lin Haoran continued to flip through the paper in his hand again, but suddenly asked: "Yan Kuan, this official asks you again, were you really not in Leizhou City that night?" ”

"Lord Lin, this matter can be verified at the post stations along the way, when I returned all the way from Leizhou, I stayed in the post stations!" Yan Kuan's appearance was a little rude, and he seemed to be polite and polite.

Yan Rudou was sitting next to him, but he accused in a weird manner: "Lin Futai, how many days have it been, hasn't this matter been verified?" If you are so slack, beware that this official is not effective in handling your case! ”

"Lord Yan's words are serious, this mansion has already verified!" Lin Haoran responded lightly, and picked up a few testimonies and passed them on: "Regarding Yan Gongzi's itinerary from Leizhou Mansion, when to stay at which post station, it is all recorded here one by one, please take a look!" ”

Because it was related to the interests of their sons, after Ding Yizhong and Jiang You received those testimonies, they carefully checked them, but found that there was nothing inappropriate. Obviously, Yan Kuan can clear his suspicions.

In this way, this case is not Ding Lu, it may be Jiang Jianyuan.

Yan Rudou snorted coldly, and said directly to Lin Haoran: "Lin Futai, now that the facts are there, then my son is already an innocent person, should you release him now?" ”

Everyone looked at Lin Haoran, but heard Lin Haoran say lightly: "Lord Yan, don't be in such a hurry, whether Ling Gongzi can be released or not, we have to wait a little longer!" ”

"Why?" Yan Rudou immediately asked dissatisfiedly.

Lin Haoran met his gaze and said lightly: "Yan Gongzi still has to see one more person!" ”

"Who?" Yan Rudou asked suspiciously.

Lin Haoran did not answer immediately, but instructed the people below: "Inheritance certificate!" ”

Whether it was the officials in the hall or the people in the hall, they all wanted to know who this witness was, but they all stretched their necks and looked towards the left side of the hall.

Soon, there was movement over there, but there was a look of surprise on their faces. saw a middle-aged official wearing an official uniform come up to the court, this witness turned out to be a seven-rank official of the current dynasty, and the weight was too much.
