"Deputy Chief Wang, this king flipped through the case file of the He family, and found that both the He family and the Yue family were conclusive, and it didn't look like they were lying, so I think there was any misunderstanding here."

Under Wang Zhen's gaze, Li Yuntian pondered for a while and then slowly spoke, "This king feels that the focus of this case is not the poisoning death of Commander Zhao Tongzhi, but the whereabouts of the arsenic bag back then. ”

"Arsenic's whereabouts?" Wang Zhen's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know what Li Yuntian meant.

"The Yue clan did not see the He clan poisoned with his own eyes, but only concluded that Zhao Commander Tongzhi was poisoned based on the bag of arsenic whose whereabouts were unknown."

Li Yuntian nodded and said his opinion in an orderly manner, "Judging from the current evidence, the Zhao Mansion did buy a packet of arsenic back then, but this packet of arsenic disappeared later, and no one knows where he went, so this king is wondering where it went, and there will be any hidden meaning in this?" ”

"Lord Wang, do you mean that the bag of arsenic was taken away and not in the Zhao family?" Hearing this, Wang Zhen finally understood Li Yuntian's intentions, and couldn't help but ask with some surprise, he never thought that Li Yuntian would say this, this is a situation that no one mentioned before.

"This king noticed that according to the records in the case file, it was He's personal maid who went to the pharmacy to buy precious medicinal materials and bought arsenic for Zhao Commander Tongzhi to buy by the way when he was taking supplements, saying that he was going back to medicine mice."

Li Yuntian nodded to Wang Zhen solemnly, and continued to tell his views on He's case, "This king thinks it's strange, can such a trivial matter as buying arsenic medicine rats be put aside and let a personal maid do it?" ”

"Of course, according to Yue's statement, the He family deliberately let the personal maid go to the pharmacy to get the medicine because he wanted to hide people's eyes, but this king thinks that maybe there will be other hidden secrets in this, after all, this is just Yue's speculation based on the death of Zhao Commander Tongzhi."

As he spoke, Li Yuntian's face showed a thoughtful look, and he looked at Wang Zhen and said in a deep voice, "For example, the He family's personal maid took advantage of the opportunity to buy medicine to steal other medicines, but the account was recorded in the Zhao family's account, and no one would check the accounts of those medicines due to his special status. ”

"Lord Wang, do you mean that the personal maid took advantage of the convenience of buying medicine to take advantage of the opportunity to profit from it?" Wang Zhen looked at Li Yuntian with some surprise, and had to say that Li Yuntian's reasoning was reasonable, and those who came out from big families to do things would always find ways to benefit from it.

"Deputy Manager Wang, in fact, have you thought about it, it is the behavior of the personal maid buying medicine in the pharmacy, but it can rule out the suspicion of He's murder, just imagine that if He wants to kill someone, he will definitely not let the personal maid buy arsenic openly, and will definitely buy it secretly."

Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, although the personal maid went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and could lead the charge to He's body, but at the same time, it actually ruled out her suspicion, because as long as people with no IQ problems would not do that kind of stupid thing that is easy to give people a handle.

"Lord, in that case, why did the personal maid take the bag of arsenic, and where did the bag of arsenic go?" Wang Zhen nodded subconsciously when he heard this, it seemed that Wang Shan was still too tender, just thinking about convicting the He family, but ignoring such an important relief, and then asked curiously, he wanted to know how Li Yuntian explained the arsenic.

"It's very simple, as the personal maid said, take back the medicine mouse, but it's not the mouse of the medicine Zhao family, but the mouse of the medicine mother's family." Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and gave Wang Zhen an answer.

"I see!" Wang Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yuntian's explanation to be so simple, but it was reasonable, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart that Li Yuntian's thoughtfulness could make the lie so complete.

"Lord Wang, why did the Yue clan frame the He clan and claim to have seen Commander Zhao's death and poisoning?"

However, Li Yuntian has only explained the whereabouts of arsenic in He's case, the most important of which is Yue's testimony, so Wang Zhen then asked, wondering what Li Yuntian's explanation is.

"The Yue family was favored at that time, and suddenly Commander Zhao Tongzhi, who was in the prime of life, died unexpectedly, she must have been heartbroken, and there were some rumors in the market that affected her psychology, so she suspected the cause of Commander Zhao's death."

Since Li Yuntian discussed with Wang Zhen about the solution to the He family's case, he must have been well prepared, and he couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard the words, "As the saying goes, if you care, you will be chaotic, the Yue family went to see his body with the mentality that Commander Zhao Tongzhi died unexpectedly, and naturally felt that Commander Zhao Tongzhi's death was suspicious." ”

"Deputy Chief Wang, it was the He clan who was guarding Commander Zhao's side at that time, and the Yue clan was just standing far away, even if he got closer, he only glanced at it in a hurry, how clearly could he see it?" Saying that, Li Yuntian explained to Wang Zhen that although the Yue family was favored, she was only a concubine, and it was the wife He who was guarding Zhao Commander Tongzhi, so it was impossible for the Yue family to look at it so carefully.

Wang Zhen couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he heard this, if it weren't for Li Yuntian, he wouldn't know that there were so many flaws in the He family's murder case, and these flaws were not in the previous two trials, Zheng Xiang and the head of the criminal department focused on the pharmacy guy and the personal maid, wanting to prove whether the personal maid bought arsenic or not.

After several heavy punishments, the pharmacy guy and the personal maid were brought back to life, and the confession was changed accordingly, making the case more and more complicated.

In the final analysis, Li Yuntian analyzed and deduced the facts of the case based on the evidence he had, emphasizing evidence over confessions, while Zheng Xiang and the head of the criminal department relied on punishment to obtain evidence, which would make the confessions of those witnesses easily influenced by human factors.

This is also the reason why Li Yuntian's cases do not like to be tortured, but he can always find out the case.

"After listening to the words of the prince, the miscellaneous family was like an enlightenment, and in an instant, I felt relieved in the case of the He family, it seems that the Yue family deliberately framed the He family?" Wang Zhen frowned slightly after listening to Li Yuntian's opinion on the Yue family, and then asked tentatively.

If it is according to what Li Yuntian said earlier, then the Yue family is falsely accusing the He family, and Wang Zhen does not care about the life or death of the Yue family, but in this way, it will inevitably affect the trial of Xue Xuan's bribery case, which is the most important thing.

However, Wang Zhen didn't think that Li Yuntian would do this, it was obvious that Li Yuntian knew why Xue Xuan was arrested and imprisoned, and he would definitely not solve the He family's case so rashly, in that case, it would violate the interests of the orthodox emperor.

"The Yue family didn't deliberately frame the He family, but it was the arsenic that caused trouble, and it was also bewitched by people with ulterior motives." Sure enough, Li Yuntian shook his head when he heard this, the case is naturally not so simple, otherwise Jinyiwei would have fallen into the He family's case because of the Yue family's adultererous husband, and he had to find a way to choose Jinyiwei from it, so that the yamen of all the major ministries and courtyards in the capital would not be affected by the He case.

After all, yesterday morning Li Yuntian led the people to seize the embroidery village where the Yue family and Wang Shan had a private meeting, and now many people outside know that Yue's adulterer is in Jinyiwei, this problem Li Yuntian must solve, except that Wang Shan is Wang Zhen's nephew, Jinyiwei can represent the emperor's face, and he can't lose face to the emperor because of this weathering incident

"People with ulterior motives?" Wang Zhen didn't think that the person in Li Yuntian's mouth was referring to Wang Shan, otherwise Li Yuntian would not have given him Yue's mouth, he felt that Li Yuntian's words had another deep meaning, and couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian curiously, wondering who Li Yuntian was talking about.

"This king thinks that someone covets Yue's beauty, so he pretended to be Jinyiwei and had an affair with him, and later learned that Yue's suspected that He poisoned his husband, and then instigated Yue's to denounce He's and secretly threatened to blackmail He."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and explained to Wang Zhen quietly, "In order to deceive the Yue family's trust, the other party did not hesitate to pretend to be Wang Shan's name and also imitated Jinyiwei's waist card. ”

"The miscellaneous family also thinks so, how could the people of Jinyiwei be involved in this case." Wang Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, Li Yuntian was obviously helping Wang Shan to exonerate him, so that Wang Shan could get out of it.

"Lord, the miscellaneous family has a reluctant request, and I hope that the prince agrees, Jinyiwei is a close attendant of the emperor's side, and it is inconvenient to intervene in this kind of civil case, so the miscellaneous family asks the prince not to name the specific name, so as not to affect his career.

"Deputy Chief Wang is reasonable, this king will omit people's names at that time." Li Yuntian knew that Wang Zhen's move was for Wang Shan, otherwise there would be a lot of unnecessary trouble at this time, so he said to Wang Zhen seriously.

"Lord Wang, the Yue family fornicated with others and secretly framed the master's mother, it is really an unforgivable crime!" Wang Zhen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and this time Wang Shan jumped out of the whirlpool of right and wrong in the He case, and then said pretending to be indignant.

"Alas, in fact, she is also a poor person, as far as this king knows, she was raped by that guy who pretended to be a brocade guard, and cheated her money and sex." Li Yuntian sighed when he heard this, in order to make the He family's murder case successfully resolved, he also had to find a way to save the face of the Zhao family.

"I see." How could Wang Zhen not know the intention of Li Yuntian's words, and couldn't help but nod when he heard this, if the Yue clan was forced to commit herself to the "fake Jinyi Guard" guy after being raped, then she would become a pitiful victim.

"Lord Wang, in this case, the He family will have no motive to bribe Xue Xuan." Saying that, Yue remembered something and couldn't help but say to Li Yuntian tentatively.

"Xue Xuan's case has not been carefully investigated by the official, but judging from the available evidence, it is likely that He's family did pay a bribe of a sum of money."

Li Yuntian knew Wang Zhen's thoughts, and he didn't want Xue Xuan to escape the involvement of this incident, so he pondered for a while and said, "Xue Xuan is a famous person in the court, even if he disdains to accept those bribes, whether his family or subordinates are doing illegal things under his banner needs to be carefully verified." ”

"Yes, this matter must be carefully verified, and it is related to the face of the Ming and Qing Streams, which cannot be underestimated." Wang Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, although Li Yuntian didn't say it explicitly, he already knew Li Yuntian's intentions, and nodded again and again.

As Li Yuntian said, Xue Xuan is a Qingliu celebrity in the Ming Dynasty, and can be described as one of the three heroes of the Qingliu, who is honest and honest, and it is obviously far-fetched to convict him by taking bribes, which will inevitably arouse the opposition of the court's military ministers.

Don't look at Xue Xuan's case seems to only involve the civil official group, the Xungui group is also secretly paying attention to this case, although they hope that the civil official group will be hit, but if the inner court can casually convict a court official from most of the capital, then it will make the Xungui group feel cold, and it will inevitably intervene to limit the power of the inner court, and the balance between the major forces is the king.

The so-called three heroes of Qingliu refer to the three honest and honest officials in the imperial court, who are not afraid of power, namely the Hanlin attendant Ryukyu, the Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing Xue Xuan, and the Guozi priest Li Qingzheng.

Among the three, Li Qingzheng is the most famous, and the seniority is also the highest, when he was on the "gas" to kill Emperor Hongxi, if it wasn't for Li Yuntian's intercession, he would have been clicked out of the head, and then made a great contribution in Jiaozhi, was transferred to the capital to serve, and later became the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, which can be called the head of the Ming Dynasty, and the peach and plum are all over the world.

Therefore, in dealing with a clear stream like Xue Xuan, the charge of accepting bribes is pale and powerless, you must know that Qingliu like Xue Xuan is bent on leaving his name in history, and he has long regarded money as dung.

Therefore, if you start with Xue Xuan's family or subordinates, then the bribery case will be much simpler, and the civil and military officials in the court can also accept it.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Xue Xuan will be implicated because of his lax control, so it is still difficult to escape prison.

Wang Zhen definitely wanted to give Xue Xuan a reputation for accepting bribes, but the presiding judge was Li Yuntian instead of him, and Li Yuntian, as a prince who had a lot of friendship with the civil official group, would definitely not do this, otherwise his reputation would be completely ruined.

In fact, Wang Zhen now doesn't want to kill Xue Xuan in his heart, when Xue Xuan was arrested and imprisoned, many court officials came to plead with Wang Zhen, and an old servant who had served him for many years in the family actually shed tears for it, which made Wang Zhen feel a lot of pressure.

But Xue Xuan's case was already related to the conflict of interests between the inner court and the civil official group, and it was reported to the orthodox emperor, so Wang Zhen couldn't listen to it even if he wanted to, so he had to do it hard.

Now that Li Yuntian has a better way to solve this matter, Wang Zhen will naturally agree in his heart, so as to not only hit the civilian clique, but also not make him too passive in the court.

According to historical records, after Xue Xuan was imprisoned, many people did plead with him, including many people who took refuge in Wang Zhen.

This means that the outside world thinks that Xue Xuan is unjustly imprisoned, and if he kills him, he will be despised and hostile by the people of the world, which is not the result that Wang Zhen wants, so Xue Xuan, who was originally sentenced to death, was spared.
