Next to the new opening of the Tingwei Mansion, the gate is strictly guarded, and there are forbidden troops standing guard at the door, and in peacetime, the people of the imperial capital, whether they are officials or civilians, usually try to avoid passing through here.

The Tingwei Mansion is the highest judicial body of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the cases heard here are either cases of rebellion, or cases involving the royal family or officials above the fourth rank, or the cases of the upper rank scholars, no matter which one it is, it must be a major case.

The wind and snow have been falling, and the forbidden army standing at the door is almost frozen in the cold wind, when a young woman came from the street, the woman was wearing a pure white filial piety dress, and her head was wrapped in a white cloth.

"Wronged!"

The forbidden army at the door was startled, and couldn't help but look at the weather, and it took a while to come back to their senses, several forbidden soldiers looked at each other, and Wu Chang sighed, knowing that it was another unjust case.

In the end, they either swallowed their anger and went to other places, or they went to the imperial capital to file a complaint; this is a road where the fish are dead and the net is broken, and if they go to the Tingwei Mansion to file a complaint, if they fail, they will have to sit back.

After receiving the report from the commander, the official of the Tingwei Mansion came out, took the paper from the woman's hand, and ordered the woman to be taken into custody.

In the evening, Yuzhou Lu Guo Qu Zhang sued Sheng Huai and Lu Guo County Shou Zhang Fan, accusing them of murder for money, murdering 38 members of the Qu family, Yuzhou Lu State officials and officials protect each other, resulting in Chen injustice, the Sheng family up and down, against the Qu family, the Qu family is cornered, can only risk the death of God, to the court Wei Mansion to sue the royal complaint.

The news reached the palace almost immediately, and Gonggong Lin immediately realized that this was Liu Han's action, and immediately notified Gonggong Mu, and at the same time asked the internal guards of the Tingwei Mansion to copy the paper intact.

Gonggong Lin immediately arranged for the imperial history, so that the imperial history was ready to act at any time, and as for who to impeach, it depends on how it develops next.

Tingwei Wei Falcon looked at the paper in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a headache, as an old official with more than 30 years of experience in the palace, he was fully aware of the disputes in the court, this paper came sooner or later, but when Yangzhou was in a stalemate, he smelled the smell of internal guards.

"My lord, how do you think this is tried?" asked Zuo Jian Tang Lin with a wry smile, obviously, he also felt the same way.

"What else, try as usual!" said Bao Zhun, the right eunuch, who was born in a family of laws, and his father and grandfather both served in the Imperial Governor's Mansion.

"Hey, the trial should naturally be tried," Wei Falcon sighed, he didn't finish his words, but it was enough, of course this trial had to be tried, and they were all watching from above and below, they couldn't ignore it, but this trial also had a trial method, to what extent, those people were involved, and there was something special about it.

"I think that such a serious case will be reported to the emperor after the court governor's mansion is heard, and His Majesty the emperor will decide. Tang Lin proposed.

Bao Zhun shook his head and said: "Then there is such a trial, Lord Tang's words are wrong, we should try it according to the law of the Great Jin, and whoever is tried is whom." ”

Wei Falcon looked at Bao Zhun and then at Tang Lin, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then Master Bao will try it first." ”

Bao Zhun was slightly stunned, according to the imperial court system, the Tingwei Mansion set up Wei Zheng and the left and right supervisors, Wei Zheng and the left supervisor are responsible for the trial of cases, of which the Wei Zheng is responsible for cases involving the second rank and above the imperial court and the royal family, the left supervisor is responsible for the trial of other officials and scholars, and the right supervisor is responsible for arrest, that is, the chief arresters at all levels under the Tingwei Mansion are under his control, and the trial of cases is not within the scope of his authority.

"My lord, this move is not in line with the regulations of the imperial court. Bao Zhun clenched his fists and protested.

Wei Ying smiled bitterly in his heart, turned his head to look at Tang Lin and said, "What Lord Bao said is very true, Lord Tang, you should work hard first." ”

Tang Lin scolded in his heart, but this was his duty, so he had no choice but to say: "The lower officials obey the order, and they will be promoted tomorrow." ”

Wei Falcon nodded: "I need the assistance of the old man, just open my mouth, this case involves important ministers of the imperial court, the two states of Assassin Shi and the county guard of Lu State, you need to take those witnesses and prisoners, report it immediately, Lord Bao, you also have to prepare immediately." ”

Bao Zhun got up: "Yes, the lower officials immediately summoned all the heads of the captors, and then listened to the dispatch of Lord Tang." ”

Wei Falcon took a deep breath, looked up at Tang Lin, who looked deeply, got up and swayed away, Bao Zhun immediately summoned the head catchers and soldiers at all levels, ready to leave Yuzhou at any time, and escorted the witnesses and prisoners to the imperial capital for trial.

This is also why ordinary people would rather die than sue God, unless the grievances are too heavy and the net is broken, then God will sue.

To redress grievances, there must be witnesses, but also must be criminals, case files and witnesses, etc., are all in the place, the Tingwei Mansion must send a special person to escort the witnesses to the imperial capital, and then have to go through a series of trials, sometimes the evidence and witnesses need to be repeatedly arrested, the Tingwei Mansion to hear a case, it takes four or five years, that is a common thing.

Gu Heng was clear about this situation, so when he was in the capital of God, he brought five of the most important witnesses and some evidence about the case.

"Father-in-law, this is the file and witness evidence about the Qu family's case. ”

In the inn, Gu Heng said very respectfully to the wheat who was sitting on the chair, five people dressed in ordinary clothes were in another room, accompanied by the Gu family's family, and there were dozens of figures around this courtyard, these people were all transferred from the Tiger Benwei and were responsible for protecting the five witnesses.

Maizi looked up, gently blew down the steaming teacup, and nodded slightly: "This case can bring down Sheng Huai, but it's too slow, Wei Falcon, this old guy won't be so easy, he can just get something out of the way, it can drag on for a few years, and the court can't afford to wait." ”

Gu Heng knew that this was the truth with a slight contemplation, this young father-in-law was very shrewd and couldn't fool him easily. He smiled bitterly: "This Sheng Huai has deep roots in Yangzhou, the officialdom and the people are intertwined, and there is the support of the Lu family's Yu family and other gate valves behind him, it is very difficult to shake him." ”

"If it weren't difficult, this matter wouldn't have been handed over to Mr. Liu. Wheat Zi said in a deep slump, and then asked, "What else does Mr. Liu command?"

Gu Heng had already noticed that the father-in-law from the palace called Liu Han Mr., which showed that Liu Han's position in the eyes of these nobles in the palace, his bet was a win, and the concubines of the two fathers were nothing, even if they gave their half-sisters, it was worth it.

Gu Heng pondered slightly, and then replied: "Lord Liu is investigating the interception of the grain ship of the Cao Gang, and at the same time, he is thinking about completing the task in the palace. ”

"Don't speak for him," Maizi frowned, "In addition to arranging for this Qu clan to sue, what other methods does he have?"

Gu Heng shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, Lord Liu originally arranged for his subordinates to go to Jiankang to see if they could find loopholes in Jiankang, but before leaving, Sheng Huai was suddenly assassinated, and the one who assassinated Sheng Huai was the second child of the Qu family. ”

"The second child of this Qu family is quite kind," Maizi showed a smile, and then sighed: "It's a pity that I didn't succeed, otherwise the court wouldn't be so embarrassed." ”

"Yes," Gu Heng replied with low eyebrows, and then said after hesitation: "Father-in-law, the small, the small, the little one felt that Lord Liu should still have a plan, but he didn't tell the little one." ”

Maizi didn't say anything more, nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you will be in charge of this matter, remember that you can only do it well, and you can't make mistakes." You will stay in this inn, you don't have to worry about the cost, if there is any situation, just tell the shopkeeper. ”

Gu Heng finally put his mind at ease, now his main task is to take care of these witnesses and evidence, it is obvious that this inn called the Mai family's old store belongs to the internal guard, and there will be no problems with security.

"This is the imperial capital, there are all kinds of people, if you take it lightly, then you are not far from death. Wheat saw through his thoughts, so he reminded unceremoniously.

Gu Heng was shocked, and hurriedly thanked him, promising to be vigilant and never dare to take it lightly.

Wheat returned to the palace and went straight to Gonggong Lin to complain, Gonggong Lin's illness seemed to be repeated, there were still three braziers in the room, it became hotter, Gonggong Lin leaned on the bed, wrapped tightly.

"Gu Heng seems to be Liu Han's first move, he should still have a back hand. Wheat hesitated to finish, and then looked at Grandpa Lin, who was lying with his head up, wrapped in a robe under his neck.

The wheat didn't move, still remaining respectful, and after half a sound, Gonggong Lin sighed faintly: "This is the right move, Liu Han can make the Hanhai Trading Company to dominate the Western Regions, it must not be a simple person, wait a minute." ”

"But what ..... the old ancestor?" said Maizi with some concern.

"The old ancestor is in a hurry, but there is no way," Gonggong Lin sighed when he said this: "If Liu Han can't do anything in Yangzhou, then there is no way, you can only wait, and it is useless to urge him again, unless he makes a move to assassinate Sheng Huai, but it is a big taboo to do so, obviously Liu Han also thought of this, so he has not made a move until now, and he still plans to use other normal methods to deal with this matter." ”

Lin Gonggong sighed deeply after speaking, he was very helpless, in the final analysis, the emperor did not grasp all the power, and there was no way to force the subordinates to do things, Sheng Huai's corruption evidence was so clear, the emperor actually couldn't cure his crimes!

Wheat looked at him carefully, and after a while he stepped aside, beckoned a little eunuch to come in, and asked him to guard the room carefully, and go to the inner guard room by himself.

Bai Gonggong was in the room, looking at the information coming from all over the place, he put it aside after reading a copy, Xiao Chunzi transcribed on the side, Mai Zi couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw this, according to the rules of internal guards, Xiao Chunzi is now just a little eunuch serving Bai Gonggong, and he is not allowed to contact these secrets, when he served Lin Gonggong, he was not allowed to contact these, and even this room was not allowed to enter, until he was promoted.

"Ancestor, you are here. Wheat stepped forward to give a salute, but Bai Gonggong didn't raise his head, and asked, "Why are you here, Lin Gonggong's body and bones are better." ”

"Godfather's is worse today, but I'm still worried, let the little one come over and take a look, and I'll let the little Qiuzi watch there. Wheat said.

"It's nothing to do today, you can go back. Bai Gonggong instructed, and Maizi hesitated, and said with a smile: "Let's take a look at the small one, otherwise go back, the godfather asked, and the small one can't be explained." ”

Bai Gonggong looked up at him and smiled slightly: "Okay, Xiaochunzi, you can rest first and let the wheat take a look." ”

"Yes, godfather. Xiao Chunzi got up and gave way, and Maizi came over, first saluting Bai Gonggong, and then sat down to take up a pen and transcribe.

-------------------Boundary-------------------------

In the depths of the palace, in the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, in the quiet room, Xiao Hezi trembled all over, his face constantly flashed with cyan aura, his face was extremely distorted, he gritted his teeth and persevered, trying not to make any noise, but he still couldn't suppress the moaning sound from his throat.

Linglan Zhenren stood in front of him, looking at him with some surprise, Xiaohezi trembled even more fiercely, his teeth rang out, Linglan Zhenren reached out and patted him on the top of his head, Xiaohezi immediately quieted down, after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Linglan Zhenren, he hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"Master, the disciple is blunt and has failed again. ”

Linglan Zhenren shook his head slightly: "It's not your fault, you're already fast, don't worry, you have three layers now, three to four layers is a difficulty, within two years, if you want to reach the ninth layer of the Great Perfection realm, you still have to work hard." ”

"Yes, master, disciple must work hard. Kozyko replied.

Linglan Zhenren looked at him, Xiaohezi's eyes were pure, half-loud, Linglan Zhenren turned around and went out, Xiaohezi was already accustomed to this, and followed out, but Linglan Zhenren entered the quiet room on the side.

Xiao Hezi came out, habitually picked up the broom, and began to clean, Linglan Zhenren and Qiao Zhenren didn't care how he took care of the yard, as long as it didn't affect their cultivation.

But today, Xiao Hezi was a little uneasy, when he practiced just now, he felt extremely cold, as if he was immersed in an ice cave, and even his bones were frozen, if it wasn't for Linglan Zhenren's action, he would probably have gone mad.

When he first opened his eyes, he was very grateful to the master for his timely move, but then, he felt that something was wrong, the master repeatedly emphasized that he would reach the nine-layer Great Perfection realm within two years, and he didn't think about it so much, but just now he felt that the master's expression was a little wrong, and he suddenly thought of a question, why should it be in two years?

Since the accident at home, Xiao Hezi has wandered on the rivers and lakes, but he is actually a fugitive, and his heart and eyes are much more than ordinary children, and he has doubts about Linglan Zhenren for the first time.

After clearing the snow from the ground, he went back to his room, changed his coat, and went to boil a pot of water, which he planned to take a shower.

The water was boiling, lying in the hot bathtub, feeling refreshed, Linglan Zhenren's face appeared in his mind again, his mood was suddenly a little lost, and suddenly he felt a trace of danger, but where did this danger come from?

To say that Linglan Zhenren is really good to him, refining a large number of pills for him, without these pills, he will definitely not be so fast, for the raw materials of alchemy, Zhenren first asked the imperial court, and then went out to find it, and when he came back, he retreated to refine the medicine.

This is the best person for him since the family accident, but the problem is ,.... , If he didn't feel anything before, but today, he felt that something was wrong, lying in the bathtub, he began to think back to the time he spent with Linglan Zhenren, and one scene after another passed through his mind, and this time, he made more discoveries.

These discoveries made him creepy.
