At the same time that the Lu family went to invite Taizong's merit iron scroll, Chu Xian also hurried through the file.

He had to get to the bottom of the case as quickly as possible, and he had to know all the details so that he could see if there were any flaws and loopholes in it.

At the same time, an old man in cloth clothes on the Lu family's side was smug and was talking.

"Lord Assassin Shi, I have served as a clerk in the government for 20 years, and I have also done the compilation of the procuratorate, and I know the laws of this dynasty well, according to the laws of the Holy Dynasty, the criminal department is promoted to the level of the criminal department, and it is indeed the right to supervise the judgment of the government in various places, but it can only be a supervision and trial, and it cannot be interfered with, let alone confused, and it is necessary to act recklessly by relying on power. While speaking, the old man in cloth also glanced at Chu Xian in the hall over there.

Obviously, the person he said was Chu Xian.

Lu Shouyao knew that this old man in cloth was the one who helped the Lu family in the court, and he was regarded as a lawyer, and in the Yanzhou territory, the other party's status and popularity in the court were still very high, and it was because this old man was familiar with the laws of the Holy Dynasty that he was found by the Lu family.

"He Jingtang, say whatever you want, don't beat around the bush in front of this official. Lu Shouyao said at this time, and the old man, that is, He Jingtang, hurriedly laughed and said: "Lord Assassin Shi, what I mean below is that this kind of big case with a vital life, according to the procedures of the Holy Dynasty Hall, has already been carried out, even if it is the magistrate of the Criminal Division, he can only supervise the trial within half a day, unless he can put forward other ironclad evidence to refute the previous judgment, otherwise, before sunset today, how should it be judged, and how should it be judged." ”

Lu Shouyao's eyes lit up.

Although he is a assassin, not all the laws of the Holy Dynasty are known, but He Jingtang is different, the other party is an 'expert' in this area, so there must be laws to follow.

"Really?"

"It's true. ”

He Jingtang was full of confidence at the moment: "Lord Thorn Shi, we are in charge now, and I have carefully studied it before, and now it is ironclad evidence, not to mention, in such a short period of time, even if he Chu Xian is capable, he may not be able to understand all the details, let alone put forward any rebuttals, when the time comes, above the public court, I am sure below, and I have the confidence to argue with that Chu Xian, although he is the magistrate of the Criminal Division, hum, the old man is really not afraid of him, at least in this public court, he is not even worthy of giving me He Mou's shoes." ”

Hearing this kind of confident words, Lu Shouyao also increased his confidence.

"Okay, He Jingtang, when the hall reopens in a while, you will deal with Chu Xian, see what he has to say, you remember, everything must be in accordance with the law of the Holy Dynasty, killing people to pay for their lives, it is justified, not who has the right to do anything wrong, besides, if there is anything, this assassin will be your backer, and you can rest assured and boldly argue with that Chu Xian. Lu Shouyao gave He Jingtang a lot of support.

When the latter heard this, he nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Lord Thorn Shi, wait a while, make sure that Chu Xian is speechless, and he can't even speak." ”

At this time, He Jingtang glanced up at Chu Xian and found that the other party had closed the file.

"After reading it, what are you kidding, it's just pretending and grandstanding. He Jingtang whispered, his tone with disdain.

As he said, maybe he didn't sit high in the official position before, and maybe he didn't have any supernatural powers and martial arts, but he had his strengths.

His specialty is to be proficient in all the laws, and for this reason, he has spent decades memorizing the various laws of the Holy Dynasty, and even he feels that in the entire Holy Dynasty, even if he is an immortal official, he may not understand the laws of the Holy Dynasty.

This is one of them.

The second is that He Jingtang has been in the court for more than ten years, and it can be said that he has no defeat, in his words, once the court is opened, this court is his territory, his world, using various rules, proficient in the law and eloquent talent beyond ordinary people, He Jingtang believes that he is the king of the court, invincible existence.

Just like now, when he saw Chu Xian just read the file for a moment and closed it, he immediately scoffed, thinking that it was impossible for the other party to read the file carefully in such a short time, so there would inevitably be mistakes, and in the public court, there could not be any mistakes, as long as there were, they could immediately become the target of attack.

Chu Xian didn't know who He Jingtang was, let alone what the other party was thinking, he was going to overpower himself in the court for a while, and now Chu Xian just wanted to understand the murder of Lu Zeyuan as soon as possible.

He read the dossier, this is only the first step, and next, he will also question Li Ziyun and many witnesses.

With a reassuring look, Chu Xian asked Li Ziyun to describe the process from beginning to end, and there could be no omissions.

Li Ziyun naturally knew that this matter was very important, so she took a deep breath and began to tell.

At this moment, Chu Xian listened carefully, but as soon as Li Ziyun was halfway through speaking, someone over there said: "Hmph, it's nonsense, this is for her to shirk the crime." ”

Chu Xian frowned, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke.

"Who's making a fuss?"

With a gloomy face, Chu Xian asked.

The man smiled, took a step forward, and arched his hand: "In Xia He Jingtang, it is the lawyer of the Lu family. ”

Chu Xian saw that this old man was crazy, but he didn't plan to deal with the other party, so he only said: "If a person commits a crime, you must not make a noise, and you will not be punished for the first offense. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at He Jingtang, and let Li Ziyun continue to tell.

This time naturally angered the old guy He Jingtang, he gritted his teeth angrily, but he knew the rules, if he interfered again, the other party would definitely catch it, so although he was angry in his heart, he didn't continue to speak, but He Jingtang was already holding back his anger.

"Yellow-haired little thing, what kind of thing, isn't it just luck to climb to the position of the six-rank pusher, what's the big deal, in the public court for a while, it will make your yellow-mouthed child lose face. ”

He Jingtang was ruthless at this moment, and began to think about how to speak for a while.

Here, Li Ziyun finished speaking.

Chu Xian pondered, in fact, what Li Ziyun said was very simple, she came to Yanzhou to collect a special medicinal material, and this medicinal material is only produced in the sea.

Chu Xian knew that Li Ziyun came to Yanzhou for herself.

The medicinal materials are used to nourish the body, so Li Ziyun came to Yanzhou, which did not appear in Chu Xian's dream, naturally, in the previous life in the dream, Li Ziyun did not experience this catastrophe at all, in other words, she hurt her, if it wasn't for collecting medicine for herself, she wouldn't have come to Yanzhou, and if she didn't come to Yanzhou, she wouldn't have been entangled by Lu Zeyuan.

After all, Li Ziyun is very famous in Jingzhou, and when she arrived in Yanzhou, she was somehow known by Lu Zeyuan, who has been pestering, Li Ziyun was overwhelmed, but just when she was about to leave, she was suddenly surrounded by the government officials, and at that time, Li Ziyun was not until Lu Zeyuan was actually killed.

This is what Li Ziyun knows, but obviously, no one can prove whether her statement is true or false, and it is said that she was also alone at the time of the crime, so no one can prove that she was not present at the time.

Regarding Li Ziyun's statement, Chu Xian believed it, but it was useless for him to believe it alone.

Nodding at Li Ziyun, Chu Xian asked the other witnesses again, this time it was much more detailed.

The guards who have been following Lu Zeyuan said that in the past few days that the young master of his family has been in Yanzhou since Li Ziyun came, he has been looking for it almost every day, looking for it every day, and sometimes he will accompany him, which he can prove.

And just before Lu Zeyuan was killed, this Lu Zeyuan instructed them to invite Li Ziyun to a banquet in one of his courtyards for a while, and the guards were still at the door, and they saw Li Ziyun enter the courtyard, and not long after, when they went in again, they found that Lu Zeyuan fell to the ground and died, but Li Ziyun was nowhere to be found.

This is the guard's statement, obviously, in this way, Li Ziyun is indeed the biggest suspect.

First, he can prove that Li Ziyun was present when Lu Zeyuan was killed, and Li Ziyun was also the last person to see Lu Zeyuan, which is the most favorable witness.

There is also physical evidence.

One is to inspect Lu Zeyuan's body, and the fatal wound is a silver needle pierced into the eye, not only into the brain, but also highly toxic.

When Chu Xian knew this, he also unconsciously thought of Li Ziyun's "Thousand Acupoint Needle Method", as well as Li Ziyun's poison technique, which she was good at, Lu Zeyuan died under this trick, and it was indeed easy to think that Li Ziyun was the real murderer.

In addition, Li Zihua's handkerchief was also left at the scene, which is ironclad evidence.

However, in this matter, Li Ziyun said that she did not go to the banquet, let alone the courtyard, as for the handkerchief, it was Lu Zeyuan who pestered her before, she accidentally left it and was picked up by Lu Zeyuan, Li Ziyun saw that the other party actually picked it up and put it on his mouth and nose to smell it, because he was disgusting, so he abandoned it.

Who would have thought that this would become ironclad evidence, and her statement was obviously not believed, after all, it was only a one-sided statement.

In this way, the whole case seems to be logical.

Li Ziyun came to Yanzhou Guanhai City, Lu Zeyuan often harassed and followed, so Li Ziyun was annoyed, and gave birth to murderous intentions, and when he went to the banquet, he used a thousand acupuncture method to pierce Lu Zeyuan's brain with a quenching needle, causing his death.

This is the case as described in the dossier.

The time was last night.

Knowing this, Chu Xian's fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase, and he was silent in thought.

Hao Qinglian, who was already sitting next to him, said: "Lord Chu, this is what happened, you see, in terms of time, Li Ziyun can't prove that she didn't go to the other courtyard, and on the other side, there are guards to testify that she went, so she may be lying, plus other evidence, as well as the motive for killing because of disgust with Lu Zeyuan's harassment, all of this is logical, so the previous court trial has already determined that Li Ziyun is the real murderer." ”

Hao Qinglian must say this, after all, this is the previous result, and he is also telling and reminding Chu Xian that this matter is the truth, or don't make trouble for yourself.

Now in his opinion, there is no other outcome in this case.

After Hao Qinglian finished speaking, He Jingtang below couldn't help but say: "Lord Hao is right, judging from the experience of the thousands of court trials I have participated in, this case is ironclad, so I am very puzzled, I don't know why you blocked Lord Chu, or did Lord Chu have other ulterior motives?"
