This Martial Saint is too generous.

"I gave the coachman money because the coachman wants to rent a house for his wife. It's completely out of my kindness."

"As for the gold leaf for the commander who guards the city, it is because many brothers' shoes are torn. I am the North Eagle Flying General conferred by the Holy Majesty, and I can be regarded as a soldier. No shoes to wear... gold leaf is used to buy shoes for the brethren, is there any problem?"

Qin Jinyang asked coldly, not in a hurry.

"Hahaha... Hahaha... Absurd, simply absurd... Are you kind? Do you have the world in mind? I think you are shameless!"

Wu Zhiqian sneered twice, and asked mockingly: "The criminal Qin Yuanyang, do you believe what you say? Do you think I will believe it?"

Lu Chongqing frowned behind the case, and he quietly observed the prince's expression.

Ugh……

The prince's expression was also ugly.

This case...is difficult to judge.

Although Wu Zhiqian produced evidence, the evidence was not strong enough to fully prove Qin Jinyang's crime.

But after all, it was evidence, and Qin Jinyang could not prove his innocence.

This Shangshu is too wronged, and both sides are splinted.

"What I'm telling you is the truth...there is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who can discern the truth, and there is the Master Shangshu who can distinguish right from wrong. As a little servant, is it important whether you believe it or not?"

"If I reward the coachman with a few taels of silver, it can prove that I hid criminals, then I will also give you a few taels of silver. Are you also my accomplice?"

Qin Jinyang retorted, with a disdainful expression.

The lobby was completely silent.

Shi Yingnan wanted to scold Wu Zhiqian, but Wan Duyan stopped him.

This stunned head is really stunned...

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is present, but you are yelling and screaming. How decent is this? You are so young, why should you leave a bad impression on others.

Your master put all his heart and soul into cultivating you into a talent, and you offended all the nobles in one go, so what's the matter.

As for Qin Jinyang, the evidence clearly cannot convict him.

The fourth child also wanted to rush up, but was stopped by the third child and the seniors of the military department.

Their thinking is the same as that of Wan Duyan.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince present, the fourth child should be calmer, after all, he will be wandering around the court in the future.

Although the others wanted to stand up for Qin Jinyang, they all had their own sense of proportion.

As long as Qin Jinyang is not convicted, he still has a chance.

……

"Hehe...it is really a cunning thing with a sharp tongue."

"I have known for a long time that you will deny it. Do you think I only have these evidences? You are naive...Come here, bring the evidence."

Wu Zhiqian sneered and flicked his sleeve again.

After the words fell, everyone in the audience turned their heads and looked outside the hall eagerly. Even the crown prince and Prince Gao were curious.

Soon, the soldiers of the Ministry of Punishment trotted to the lobby with the wooden plate.

On the wooden plate is a piece of clothing.

"Old man... Are you familiar with this dress?"

Wu Zhiqian walked up to the evidence, picked up his clothes, and brought them to the old driver, asking each word in a very slow tone.

"Remember... I remember..."

The old man was frightened into a cold sweat, kowtowed and shouted.

"Say……"

Wu Zhiqian said.

"It's the clothes of Mu Zhihe, a wanted criminal."

"That day, the Northern Eagle Flying General and the wanted criminal bought off the city defender, and urged me to leave the city quickly... After I left the city, I rode my horse and galloped, and the wanted criminal in the carriage also changed his outfit. And the old clothes he replaced , and threw it in the river outside the city. After returning to the city, I felt sorry for the good material of the clothes, so I went out of the city again and quietly salvaged the clothes.”

The old coachman stammered and paused several times before finally speaking in full.

"This dress belongs to the fugitive Mu Zhihe... The Evidence Department of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has carefully investigated. The fabric of this dress is a gift from the Holy Majesty, and only the palace can weave it... Principal Wu Heqian has personally checked the reward records of His Majesty. , During that time, only Mu Shidi received a reward."

Wu Zhiqian shook his clothes.

The old coachman was trembling, wishing he could burrow his head deep into the floor.

When Wu Heqian heard his elder brother calling his name, he raised his head hastily.

Touched.

The elder brother deserves to be the elder brother, and he will always miss the brotherhood in his heart. Although he has caused trouble for the elder brother, but when he has the opportunity to do meritorious deeds, the elder brother still misses himself.

……

Swish!
Everyone's eyes turned to Qin Jinyang again, people were eagerly waiting for Qin Jinyang's explanation.

"A piece of clothing picked up in the river can prove that I hid criminals? Don't you think it's far-fetched?"

"Besides, what does a dress prove?"

Qin Jinyang sneered.

In other words, the evidence presented by the Wu family is not vicious... It is far from impeccable.

If the prince is on the side of the Wu family, these evidences may kill him.

But the evidence is too vague, if the prince wants to help him, the Wu family will definitely lose.

"Hehehe, I knew you were going to deny it... One piece of evidence may not be able to prove that you committed a crime, but several pieces of evidence are all added together, so what are you still arguing about? Could it be that you alone accounted for all the coincidences in the world? ?”

"Forget it... you are stubborn, you can mess around, but I, Wu Zhiqian, can't... Do you want evidence? Then I will give you the evidence... someone..."

Wu Zhiqian suddenly shouted again.

Everyone in the audience frowned.

And evidence?

How could he still produce evidence?
Some people have already begun to suspect... Yes, if one piece of evidence is an accident, it would be too coincidental for several pieces of evidence to be added together.

……

Soon, another Punishment soldier trotted over.

This time, the pawn held a short knife in the wooden tray.

The scabbard is golden and inlaid with two black gemstones, it looks like a precious sword.

Seeing the precious sword, Qin Jinyang frowned.

Hei Lan knife!

This was Xu Yuansheng's saber when he was young. As Xu Yuancheng became stronger and stronger, this saber was not strong enough and was replaced.

But Xu Yuansheng didn't throw it away, but gave it to the ancestral hall.

Xu Yuancheng's first fortuitous encounter was to cut open the secret palace with a black haze knife.

Xu Yuansheng founded Helan Villa, and Hei Landao accompanied him all the way.

In the end, the Hei Lan knife became the owner's token of Helan Villa. Xu Yuancheng painted cakes for the inner disciples more than once. Whoever can get the Hei Lan knife in the future will be the future young owner.

After Xu Yuancheng's death, the Hei Lan knife naturally came into Qin Jinyang's hands.

When leaving Yundong Province, Qin Jinyang originally planned to leave the knife in the villa, but Wu Shengshi insisted on letting Qin Jinyang hold it.

First of all, Qin Jinyang is the owner of Helan Villa. Although Qin Jinyang is inappropriate, the title belongs to him.

Secondly, although the Hei Lan knife is not enough in Xu Yuancheng's hands, Qin Jinyang's third-rank knife is enough for him to use the fourth-rank Dzogchen, and it is also a rare sharp weapon.

This is weird.

Qin Jinyang narrowed his eyes.

As soon as he moved to Beiying Mansion, he hung the Heilan Knife in his bedroom.

In the sensitive place of the imperial capital, running around with a knife hanging around is likely to cause misunderstandings by the Imperial Forest Army.

……

"This weapon is your Qin Jinyang's saber, right?"

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice tracked down a hiding place of Mu Zhihe, but unfortunately he has already escaped...Although he was not caught, the Ministry of Criminal Justice found this weapon... How do you explain this time?"

"You wouldn't say that the Ministry of Criminal Justice stole your knife and wanted to blame you, would you?"

"Or, the criminal Mu Zhihe went to Beiying Mansion on the way to escape, and specifically stole your knife."

Wu Zhiqian asked slowly.

His expression is extremely calm. After all, he has tried all his cases, and almost every case can be found out. He can be regarded as Detective Wu.

"By the way, Cui Sishan, the domestic slave in your house, is a genuinely strong man. It should be impossible for criminals to steal your weapons without telling him?"

"In our criminal department, no one has been able to steal your knife under Cui Sishan's eyes."

Wu Zhiqian added another sentence.

This sentence also completely blocked Qin Jinyang's sophistry.

……

The audience was silent, and people's eyes kept wandering from Hei Landao and Qin Jinyang.

Yes.

Why is Qin Jinyang's saber in Mu Zhihe's hiding place?

This time, even the fourth child began to hesitate.

Could it be... is the young master negligent?
The Ministry of Punishment did find out where Mu Zhihe was hiding, which was the place where he told the young master.

But when the Ministry of Criminal Affairs checked, Mu Zhihe had already moved, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was in vain.

The Ministry of Justice actually found the young master's saber.

damn...

Could it be that I harmed the young master?

The fourth child feels guilty like never before.

……

Qin Jinyang frowned slightly.

The Hei Lan Knife was obviously hanging in the bedroom, why did it end up in the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?
theft!

Correct……

Definitely theft.

But Wu Zhiqian is right, Cui Sishan can even touch the sixth grade, no one can steal his own knife under his nose.

For so many years, Cui Sishan guarded Beiying Mansion conscientiously. Even when he was arrested, he did not come to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice to join in the fun, and still guarded Beiying Mansion.

Thieves never stand a chance.

Is it...

Is it the boss and the second child?

Qin Jinyang turned his head abruptly, and looked at the eldest and second eldest in the crowd.

Sure enough, when the two met Qin Jinyang's gaze, they lowered their heads subconsciously and dodged for a while.

Although the two of them quickly came to their senses and began to look directly at Qin Jinyang, looking very indignant, but the guilty conscience at that moment had exposed many problems.

Qin Jinyang knew it well.

It was the boss and the second brother who stole his knife.

That's right... Cui Sishan sits in Beiying Mansion, but his two sons are his weaknesses.

……

"Hmph, the brothers in the Ministry of Criminal Justice stayed up all night every day, and several brothers were so tired that they fell ill. We managed to find the hiding place of the wanted criminal, but you caught us inside and outside, and leaked the news..."

"Defense by day and night, but it's hard to guard against family thieves. Qin Jinyang, you, the North Eagle Flyer, are you worthy of the trust of the Holy Majesty?"

Wu Zhiqian turned around and slapped the gavel hard.

Sitting behind the case, Lu Chongqing was startled by the sound of slapping.

But he didn't pursue Wu Zhiqian's mistake of overstepping his power to shoot the gavel tree, but felt that Wu Zhiqian handled things beautifully.

With so much evidence presented, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't say anything inappropriate.

Qin Jinyang is done.

When His Royal Highness gives an order, he should be convicted.

The biggest problem now is how to appease these royal relatives.

……

"Come here... Serious torture..."

"With so much evidence in front of you, you still dare to despise the Ministry of Punishment. Today, the official insists on making you confess your guilt in person... Bring all the torture tools up."

Wu Zhiqian pointed at Qin Jinyang and berated him sharply.

"Wait... Where's the commander of the defenders who took the gold leaves? Let him out!"

Suddenly, someone interrupted.

It was Zhang Puqing, the general of the Ministry of War. He stood up in full view and walked to Qin Jinyang's side.

"General Zhang, the Ministry of Punishment is trying the case. Why are you joining the Ministry of Military Affairs? You have exceeded your authority."

Wu Zhiqian narrowed his eyes.

Zhang Puqing and Su Zhannan are rivals, Qin Jinyang is from Su Zhannan, you don't know?

Your Majesty hates the Ministry of War's meddling in the affairs of the Imperial Capital the most. You are creating trouble for yourself in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I did not participate in the trial of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Just now Wu Shilang said that Qin Jinyang bribed the commander of the defenders with gold leaves. As a member of the Ministry of War, I want to meet this commander... Whether it is really a bribe or not, I have to tell the commander himself. Ask."

Standing in the hall, Zhang Puqing asked unhurriedly with a cold expression.

Just now Qin Jinyang said that those six gold leaves were for buying shoes for the defenders... For some reason, Zhang Puqing had an intuition in his heart that he thought Qin Yuanyang was not lying.

People in the Ministry of War have always been passionate and easily moved.

Although the frontier soldiers are jealous of the life of the defenders, but when encountering difficulties, everyone still has the same hatred.

"The commander has absconded in fear of crime, and his whereabouts are unknown... People from the Criminal Department are tracking down his whereabouts!"

Wu Zhiqian was expressionless.

Trouble.

The only thing Wu Beiqian didn't do beautifully was that he failed to assassinate that little commander and was escaped by him.

The Wu family is doing their best to hunt down and kill them, and it is believed that they will be silenced soon.

That little commander has a wife and a child, and his wife and child have been arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is impossible for him to be silent.

"The person is missing? Since everyone has run away, where did the Ministry of Justice come from for the evidence of the six gold leaves?"

Zhang Puqing asked again.

"Search home!"

Wu Zhiqian's expression was indifferent.

"Where are the family members of the little commander?"

Zhang Puqing continued to ask.

"Already arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, General Zhang should not ask any more questions. It involves the secrets of the Criminal Ministry's handling of the case, so it is inconvenient to disclose."

Wu Zhiqian became impatient.

The biggest taboo in fabricating perjury is talking too much and asking too many questions.

As long as you talk too much, sooner or later there will be flaws.

Too many words will be lost.

"The commander accepting bribes is the commander's own crime. Why did the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrest his family members? Please order the commander's family members to be released."

Zhang Puqing was not forgiving.

quack!

Wu Zhiqian clenched his fists, and the bones in his fingers made sounds.

He hates being aggressive.

"Until the prisoner is caught, the family members cannot be released... But General Zhang, please rest assured that the family members are innocent after all, and they will eat and drink well in the Ministry of Punishment, and will not suffer."

"General Zhang, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War will have an explanation for the matter of the family members, but now the officer is trying the case, please don't interrupt...Come here, and the punishment will be served!"

Wu Zhiqian flicked his sleeves, his expression already grim.

……

Whispering.

As if they had been prepared for a long time, a group of people rushed forward from the Ministry of Justice.

This group of people had ferocious expressions and a hostile look. They looked like murderers who had been tormenting others for many years.

They also brought blood-stained instruments of torture.

The instruments of torture have not been used yet, and the grotesque appearance is already frightening.

Shi Yingnan was immediately anxious. If Wan Duyan hadn't been suppressed, he would have jumped out and scolded Wu Zhiqian a long time ago.

Jiang Youliang's arms trembled, and smoke rose from his head in anger.

But his father was by his side, so he didn't dare to do anything wrong.

I am a relative of the emperor, but just because I am a relative of the emperor, the emperor strictly forbids meddling in the affairs of the officials.

The fourth brother was thirsty, and he even wanted to take Qin Jinyang to escape, but there were many experts in the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War, and there were even more experts gathered around the prince.

He only wished to suffer for the young master.

Some people hesitated in their hearts and began to doubt Qin Jinyang.

Some people believed in Qin Jinyang, but this group of people could do nothing but worry.

Seeing that Qin Jinyang was about to be sentenced again, the case fell into a stalemate again.

……

"slow……"

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared outside the lobby.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, and the crown prince looked over curiously.

It is Wu Shuangqi, the servant of the Ministry of punishment.

Many people followed behind him, and they came to the lobby aggressively.

"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Shangshu, Lord Luan..."

Wu Shuangqi saluted respectfully.

"Wu Shuangqi, I'm handling the case. You interrupted the trial and contempt the court. What should you do? As a servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you knew the law and violated the law. You still haven't pleaded guilty!"

Wu Zhiqian scowled angrily with a dark face.

Wu Shuangqi is his biggest rival for the position of Shangshu. The two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. Every time this person appears, nothing good happens.

Suddenly, Wu Zhiqian's eyelids twitched, and his heart panicked.

what's the situation?
Why am I flustered?

"Wu Shuangqi, what are you doing?"

Lu Chongqing also looked curious.

Out of Shangshu's instinct, he felt that Wu Shuangqi's appearance was related to Qin Jinyang.

"Master Shangshu, this subordinate wants to sue Wu Zhiqian, the Minister of Criminal Affairs..."

"In order to satisfy his own selfish desires, Wu Zhiqian fabricated the so-called evidence and framed the court hero Qin Jinyang..."

Wu Shuangqi was also not polite, his words were sharp, and his sword edge reached Wu Zhiqian.

……

Swish!
There was an uproar.

what's the situation?
The minister of punishment, sue another minister of punishment?
The content of the complaint is to plant and frame Beiying Flying General.

Is it...

Was Qin Jinyang really wronged?
The prince frowned slightly...something is wrong.

"Hahaha, wonderful... The Zhongzhou court is really wonderful... This king didn't make this trip in vain!"

Prince Gao patted his thigh with an expression of watching the show.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to see what Wu Shuangqi was trying to trick.

The faces of the Wu family were gloomy.

Wu Beiqian glared at Wu Heqian again, he really wanted to tear this idiot into pieces.

In the hall, the eldest brother and the second child looked at each other, and both of them also had an ominous premonition.

Qin Jinyang also looked at Wu Shuangqi curiously.

This dude... I don't seem to know you, but I appreciate you for being so intrusive at this time.

If you are really convicted, you have to go back to the dungeon to wait for the trial, and then you can only escape from prison.

Qin Jinyang still doesn't want to escape from prison.

……

"You sued Wu Zhiqian? What evidence do you have?"

Lu Chongqing stood up, his whole face turned green.

Ugly.

This is a real family scandal.

Two of my confidantes actually sued each other in front of His Royal Highness, it was like slapping myself in the face.

"Come... bring the evidence..."

Wu Shuangqi stood up and said loudly.

Everyone was stunned.

lead?
Bring evidence?
What the hell.

Soon, the answer will be revealed.

Sure enough, Wu Shuangqi's subordinates brought evidence.

It was a horse, and an unremarkable carriage.

"Master Shang Shu, please take a look at this horse..."

Wu Shuangqi patted the horse on the head.

Everyone was even more confused... What's so good about a horse?

"It's an old horse, a very old horse..."

Suddenly, Jiang Youliang yelled.

At the same time, his heart started beating.

Hearing this, many people also came to their senses... Lao Ma!

"Is this horse yours?"

Wu Shuangqi looked at the old coachman, then pointed at the old horse.

"Ah... it's mine, it's mine!"

The old man nodded again and again.

"This horse is very old. Although it can still pull the cart, it can't go fast at all... If there is only one person in the carriage, it may be possible to go around the imperial capital in a day... But if there are two people, the old horse will not be strong enough. It's impossible to go that far..."

"Helping criminals out of the city, and galloping all the way...Aren't you afraid that this old horse will die from exhaustion?"

"That's all, I'll treat the old horse as a new life... But you have already returned to the imperial capital, and went out of the city to pick up clothes... After all the tossing, your horse didn't die from exhaustion?"

The old man was trembling all over, sweating profusely, and couldn't speak a word.

"Say... who made you talk nonsense!" Wu Shuangqi was originally amiable,
Suddenly, Wu Shuangqi yelled sharply, and the old man lay down directly, and there was yellow liquid on the ground.

He has been scared out of his wits.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-"

The old man trembled all over, and only this word came out of his mouth for a long time.

"Someone is threatening you...someone has taken your wife and threatened you with your wife...I know that..."

"Don't worry, your wife, I have already sent someone to rescue him..."

Wu Shuangqi said coldly.

The old man driving the car suddenly burst into tears, and his whole body collapsed completely.
