"Lord Qingtian, you must be the master of the grass people, and bring the Qin soldiers who killed the good and risked the merit to justice..."

In the council chamber of the eunuch's mansion, an investigation into Qin Bing's "killing good and risking merit" is underway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, he was accusing a peasant-like person in the hall, crying a handful of snot and tears, and insisted that it was Qin Bing who slaughtered all the village where he was, and only he escaped because he went up the mountain to cut wood.

While the man was crying, Wen Tiren instructed his subordinates to drag in a dozen pockets from outside the hall and untie the bags. In an instant, dozens of human skulls rolled out, and the scene was extremely terrifying. Zhu Youzhen looked at it, and saw that some of them were women and children, and his heart ached suddenly, so he quickly turned his face away, and couldn't bear to look at it again.

"Lord Sun, this is the first rank selected by the Ministry of War from the Qin soldiers." Wen Tiren said with a smile, "Can you explain why there are women's and children's heads inside?" What do you have to say about this villager's complaint? ”

Sun Chuanting got up from his seat without saying a word and examined those heads one by one. Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru couldn't help but gasp, to be honest, they were all shocked by these terrifying heads, they just forced their composure. Sun Chuanting was able to pick up the head and inspect it almost face to face, and the two thought that if they changed themselves, they were afraid that they would be so scared that they would pee their pants.

"Master Wen, the students have checked them one by one just now." After Sun Chuanting read it all, he said unhurriedly, "It was a month and a half ago that Qin Bing handed over his head to the Ministry of War. It's summer, the weather is hot, and for more than forty days, the degree of decay of the first level must be very serious. And judging from the degree of decay of these dozens of heads, the time of killing will not exceed half a month at most. What is Qin Bing's ability to mix the head that he has just cut recently into the battle exploits that have been reported more than a month ago? ”

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru both nodded slightly unconsciously, obviously Sun Chuanting's heart was as careful as a hair, and he directly hit the crux of the problem.

"This villager, let me ask you, are you a villager from Changle Village, Zhenning County, Qingyang Prefecture?" Sun Chuanting turned to the "witness" who accused Qin Bing of killing good and risking merit and asked.

"Exactly!" The man was not ambiguous, and replied confidently.

"Coincidentally, the official of Changle Village has also been there." Sun Chuanting said unhurriedly, "Tell me, how many wine shops are there in the village, where are they located?" ”

"This..."The man didn't know that he had hit the muzzle of the gun, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he said embarrassedly, "I'm not good at drinking, I don't remember!" ”

"Then tell me again, there is a willow river next to Changle Village, is this river in the east or south of the village?" Sun Chuanting continued to ask.

The man also felt that he couldn't say anything more than he didn't know, so he had to guess blindly: "It's in the east of the village... No, the river is crooked, and the east and south of the village are reasonable..."

"Nonsense!" Sun Chuanting suddenly looked at him and said angrily, "Who are you who dare to pretend to be a villager to give false testimony!" To tell you the truth, this official has not been to Changle Village, and he deliberately deceived you just now. However, the terrain of the mountains and rivers in the various prefectures and counties of Yansui has been carefully studied by the official on the map, and there is no river at all within a radius of thirty miles around Changle Village, and the 'Liuhe' is purely made up by the official! ”

The man was so frightened that his face was like ashes, but Sun Chuanting ignored him anymore, turned to Wen Tiren and said angrily: "Lord Wen, the trial of the case must have witnesses, physical evidence, and circumstantial evidence, and the three corroborate each other in order to draw the truth. Now in the case of Qin Bing's murder of good and meritorious deeds, the human and physical evidence are not credible, and there is no doubt that it will be falsely accused. I hope that Lord will strictly investigate the real murderer behind the scenes, wash away the grievances of the Qin soldiers, and avenge these dozens of innocent and tragic deaths! ”

"Students seconded." Hong Chengchou, who has been watching coldly, also said leisurely. Li Qin's face was pale, and he glared at the "witness" fiercely.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru glanced at each other, and their hearts were like mirrors, knowing that these two cases were actually the same thing, and someone must have framed Qin Bing, and this person was most likely Li Qin who sang against Hong Chengchou.

However, Wen Tiren was cunning and cunning, and refused to make a clear statement, so he only said to the mud: "Lord Sun is reasonable, the student should report to the court according to the truth, and the court should deal with it impartially, and give the adult a fair one." As for tracking down the real culprit, it is not within the purview of the students, and the imperial court will conduct a separate case for inspection, and I hope that Lord Sun will forgive me. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought that Sun Chuanting's expectations were good, and the case was indeed tried as a confused case. Although the suspicion of Qin Bing was basically cleared, who let Gao Yingxiang go, and who killed the villagers and wronged Qin Bing, Wen Tiren found an excuse not to continue the trial.

Fortunately, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru did not favor Li Qin's side, and Zhu Youzhen did not expect to use the power of these two people to bring Li Qin down. As long as Wei Zhongxian, who was behind Li Qin, had no excuse to move the Qin soldiers again, Zhu Youzhen would be satisfied. After all, now is not the time for a showdown with Wei Zhongxian, and it is not too late to wait until his strength is further strengthened, and then slowly clean up these things that have lost his conscience.

Coming out of the eunuch's mansion, Hong Chengchou insisted on setting up a banquet in the governor's mansion to entertain guests, saying that one was to catch Sun Chuanting's wind, and the other was to express his gratitude to Wen Erren for his impartial trial, and at the same time, he also wanted to talk to Zhu Youzhen about the specific matters of the labor army. The crowd couldn't excuse themselves, so they ate a banquet from him.

At the banquet, Hong Chengchou said that Sun Chuanting would stay in the governor's palace and wait for the official appointment of the governor of Shaanxi. Wen Tiren also said that since Qin Bing was not suspicious, it should be natural for Sun Chuanting to take office. In order to show that he really investigated seriously, he also had to follow Zhou Yanru to Guyuan to take office, and investigate again along the way. Zhu Youzhen wants to work for the army, so he can just go along the way. Zhou Yanru also nodded yes again and again.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Wen Erren's meaning, and seemed to want to be close to himself. He thought about it, these two people were not members of the eunuch party, and Zhou Yanru was the new governor of Yansui, so it was also good for him to have a good relationship. His biggest enemy is Wei Zhongxian, and of course the other forces can unite as much as possible.

So he gladly agreed, and the meal was gone. Sun Chuanting lived in the Governor's Palace, and when Zhu Youzhen and Yan Ling came out, it was already a red sun.

"Your Highness, do you want to leave the city immediately? The gates are closing. Yan Ling reminded in a low voice.

"Liu Quanzhong's battalion is still in the city, right?" Zhu Youzhen asked vigilantly.

"Your Highness is here, of course they can't withdraw first." Yan Ling replied, "Xie Sheng and Liu Quanzhong are nearby. ”

"Good!" Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, "You send someone to send a letter to the mansion, we won't go back to Qinwangzhuang tonight." Let's go to the Champs-Élysées and change into casual clothes there. Call Xie Sheng and Liu Quanzhong as well, I want to meet the old gang leader Li and Li Zicheng of the Shaanxi Business Gang first, and then take you to a fun place! ”
