Chapter 331 What Master Lu Wants To Say

After Qing Guogong finished speaking, he greeted the yamen servant to close the door of the second hall with a wheezing voice, and the suddenly tense atmosphere was relieved.

All officials, you look at me, I look at you, there is not much to say.

Only Wang Weiquan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, smiled and did not smile. Although he bowed his hands to Duke Qing, he turned his head to look at Duan Lin, the Minister of Rites beside him:
"Since Mr. Liao said so, it must be the Holy Majesty's will. We are all a family, and we are talking about avoiding it or not. As for this. Right or wrong~ I will judge by my grandfather. Let's listen to it. Master Duan thinks Woolen cloth?"

Seeing Duan Lin squinting at himself, he took two steps forward and presented the token in his hand to Duke Qing.

Then he asked contemptuously:
"About Tongwo. It is not known who raised the wolves that caused the epidemic in the south of the city. Lord Duan doesn't really think that His Royal Highness King Yu can be convicted with just a mere token, does he?"

"good."

Xie Huaibin, Minister of the Ministry of War, saw that his suggestion of evasion did not work, so he followed the words of Wang Weiquan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and helped Yu Wang Xiao Yihan to excuse:
"The people from the Shenji Camp died as soon as they delivered the token. Who can prove that his words are true? And who can prove that this token belongs to His Royal Highness King Yu? Lord Duan, this time, what is the truth?" There is really no excuse for the crime you want to impose!"

The officials in the hall nodded.

Several of them were even more eager to stand up and state their views to Duke Qing.

However, after seeing Duke Qing Liao Zhongqing took the token, he opened his mouth and took a bite, and hurriedly surrounded him and shouted:
"Grandpa, this is made of gold, you can't eat it~"

"Oh, Mr. Liao, take care of your teeth!"

Duan Lin didn't care about Duke Qing's obstruction, grabbed the token with trembling hands, and asked with concern: "Old man, how are your teeth?"

Before Qing Guogong could speak, Hong Qingkun, the sharp-eyed official of Dali Temple, pointed to the half false tooth on the long case and said:
"Hey~ Lord Duan, don't ask any more questions, let's invite Imperial Physician Lu to come over and have a look, the old man just broke his teeth!"

"what?!"

The surrounding officials exclaimed, and quickly sent the yamen servants out to bring Lu Yungui and the rest of the witnesses to the second hall.

Lu Yunli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, finished arranging the trivial matters, sat back in his original place with his robe lifted, and watched with cold eyes.

At this time, the long case of the main seat was completely surrounded, and several adults served tea and poured water, rubbed their shoulders and backs, and were extremely busy.Everyone felt as if they had been beaten to death, for fear of missing the opportunity to show courteousness to Duke Qing.

At this time, Lu Yunli was more determined.

The Holy Lord sent Liao Zhongqing, Lord of the Qing Dynasty, to preside over the round trial, not only to exonerate his fifth younger brother Lu Yungui, but also to protect King Yu and other officials involved in the case.

The reason for this is nothing more than one thing: checks and balances.

After all, Dazhou is now in the midst of natural and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, and it is really not a good time to go to war.For the emperor, it is actually the safest way to send people and a stick to make big and small things small, stabilize the court and beat all the ministers.

As for the officials in the hall, they are all born with exquisite hearts, so how can they not understand the deep meaning?
One must know that a founding father like Lord Qing can stand upright under the suspicion of Emperor Xiao Jingyu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and that his descendants are well received by the emperor, that is his own knack.

Although the Duke of Qing's mansion declared that the old man had been confused for a long time, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be sober.

Therefore, since Lord Qing got off the sedan chair, they had been watching the old fox's every move with eyesight, and they could clearly see any changes in the old man's expression.

Sure enough, the old fox started to interrupt when he came up, and the officials who were based on the principle of peace and mud must cooperate with all their strength.

But Xie Huaibin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, disagreed.

On the contrary, he believes that this matter will never be reduced to a small one, and if it does, someone will have to pay the price for this mess.

My side is going to push out a scapegoat, so the Lu family and Yan Wang's side can't even think about retreating unscathed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he took a seat beside Lu Yunli, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, his sharp eyes swept across Yu Wang Xiao Yihan's calm face, and then landed on the confession, the corners of his mouth under the veil unconsciously curled up.

Shaking the hem of the scarlet robe away with both hands, he looked ahead and said, "Master Lu's confession must have been tortured into a trick. It really is to achieve the goal and use any means."

Hearing Xie Huaibin's aggressive tone, Lu Yunli just shook his head leisurely, and answered irrelevant questions:
"Speaking of unscrupulous means, I think of a suspect who died in the Shuntian Mansion Prison, named Jia Dafang."

His tone was extremely light, as if he was talking about an insignificant person.

However, a trace of surprise flashed across Xie Huaibin's eyes, and then they sank back into the depths in an instant, so fast that people couldn't detect it.

Lu Yunli didn't stare at him closely, so naturally he couldn't catch this subtle emotional change, and his tone was still light:

"His confession is clear, and he clearly explained the matter of his younger brother and sister-in-law selling illegal salt. Even where the few boats of cotton and silk at Meishi Ferry came from and who to hand them to, he didn't say anything about it." , according to Mr. Xie, has the Shuntian Mansion been tortured into a trick?"

Xie Huaibin narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment and then said: "Shouldn't Master Lu ask Master He about whether Shuntian Mansion has been tortured?"

"Lord Xie should know that the significance of a confession lies not in whether it is tortured or not, but whether it is true." Lu Yunli slowly raised his head, his eyes suddenly became extremely deep, like a dark pool, "As for the authenticity, he is already dead. Oh, how many words are too few and how many words are missing, Master Xie, how do you think His Majesty will tell the difference?"

Xie Huaibin paused when he heard the words, then raised his eyes and asked in a low voice: "What does Lord Lu want to say?"

Lu Yunli chuckled twice, turned his head to look at Wang Yiquan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was beating Qing Guogong's back.

Before he could continue speaking, he heard someone hurriedly report from outside the hall: "Pingnanhou's mansion came to report, Lord Shen's son, Shen Meng, has woken up!"

There was no sound in the hall, and all the officials had different expressions when they heard this.

Duan Lin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, quickly stepped outside the hall, stopped the yamen servants who were running towards him, and hurriedly asked: "Is the news true?"

"Master Duan, it's absolutely true!" The yamen servant replied respectfully, "The person who came was the official from the Zhu You Section of the Imperial Hospital, and said that Shen Meng only woke up after eating the herbal medicine sent by Mr. Duan himself. But this medicine is not easy to buy outside. , he is now asking for medicine again."

The yamen servant who saw the report was full of joy, and Duan Lin's eyes shone excitedly: "Okay~Okay~"

The big head plague is saved!

The lives of the people in the south of the city have been saved!

Duan Lin hunched his thin body, waved his hands, and signaled the yamen servant to enter the second hall to report the news to everyone in the hall, while he let out a breath of relief.

Just when he turned around and crossed the threshold, another yamen servant passed him by, and rushed into the hall to report to Lu Yunli in a low voice:
"My lord, several grain boats of the Lu family were scuttled by the mob, and the canal is now in chaos. The situation in the south of the city is not optimistic. Those sick people smashed the grass shed, and the Shenji camp is already gone."

Lu Yunli raised his hand to stop it, and the yamen servant resigned.

Immediately, all kinds of gazes shot from all directions, including, Yu Wang Xiao Yihan's cold and sinister gaze that came through the gap between the white jade fingers.

"Lord Lu~" Xiao Yihan put his finger on the thumb of his left hand, and said with a half-smile, "It's getting late, when will the round trial start?"

"Return to Your Highness." Lu Yunli stood up without haste, and saluted respectfully, "I have already ordered someone to bring the suspect, Your Highness, please stay calm."

After hearing this, all the officials left Qing Guogong and sat back to their original places, waiting quietly.

At the same time, the door of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was also opened by the head of the prison.

It's just that as soon as the yamen servant stepped into the corridor, he heard a burst of exclamation from inside:
"What?!?! You fucking want to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!"

"Do your Spring and Autumn Dream!"
