Lu Ning smiled, looked at Gu Fengtang and said:
"My lord, that's right."
"Subordinates have arrested Cao Dachun, and the Chinese and military officials must be surprised."
"As soon as the emperor goes to court tomorrow, the civil and military officials will definitely ask questions in front of the adults. The adults only need to pay attention to those who don't pay much attention to this matter."
"The court should mention Cao Dachun's crimes, and must make it clear that Cao Dachun is the real culprit who murdered Prince Yong'an."
"Don't say it too clearly."
"Look at some people's reactions."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, "That's all?"
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Although these can't explain anything, the people behind the Five Color Snow Cicada will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. Even if they don't talk to adults, they will behave differently from before."
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "It's a relief? It makes sense."
The next day.
March sixteenth.
Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and in the large courtyard in front of the Tai Chi Hall, civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Three or five people stood together in a circle, talking about Cao Dachun being taken away by the Town Magic Division.
Some people are talking about what Cao Dachun committed?Why was he suddenly arrested?
Some people also whispered that Lu Ning was too arrogant. He became the deputy director of Zhenma Division and acted mischievously. He didn't have the laws of the Great Zhou at all.
"Cough cough...!"
After a while, Mr. Qin Ge came slowly, and when he cleared his throat, everyone fell silent instantly.
Sheng Minzheng, Duke of Zhen, was an old man with a thin face. Looking at the age of 60, he held Chaohu in his hand and glanced at Qin Zhong lightly.
Beside him, Duke Yan Chang, Uncle Pei Tong, Duke Rong and others were all there.
Some people greeted Qin Zhong, while others ignored him.
Zhang Juming stood with some officials of the Ministry of Punishment, not smiling, seeing Qin Zhong approaching, a look of boredom flashed across his face.
Qin Zhong didn't care about everyone's eyes, he walked quickly to the front and stood there.
After taking a look at Zhen Guogong, Yan Guogong and others, he hugged the Chaohu and remained silent.
Not long after, Gu Fengtang came wearing court clothes and holding a court wat.
When all the officials saw it, they stepped forward to greet Gu Fengtang one after another.
"Gu Sizheng, good morning!"
"Master Gu, good morning!"
"Gu Sizheng, your face is full of spring breeze. I wonder if there is any happy event?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity of greeting Gu Fengtang, all the officials asked Chengxuan Department about Cao Dachun.
Gu Fengtang just smiled and kept silent.
"Everyone, if you have any questions, let's discuss them in the morning." Gu Fengtang cupped his hands and walked forward.
At this time, Pei Tong, Zhang Juming, Shi Rui and others came forward to greet Gu Fengtang, and immediately mentioned Cao Dachun, saying that the town magic department was doing a good job.
Zhang Juming, in particular, is very much in favor of Zhenmagus' actions.
After a while, Qin Zhong, Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others also came forward to greet Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, Qin Zhong and the others also took the opportunity of saying hello, and stepped forward to ask Cao Dachun what he had committed, and why was he arrested by the Zhenmagic Division?
"Old Qin Ge, if you have something to say, let's say it above the court." Gu Fengtang smiled.
Qin Zhong nodded with a dry smile, glanced at Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others, and everyone walked away knowingly.
Qin Zhong and Gu Fengtang whispered to each other: "I heard that Zhou Huan and Zhou Qianhu died on duty?"
Gu Fengtang lowered his eyebrows: "Who did Mr. Ge listen to?"
Qin Zhong lowered his voice and said: "The old man's housekeeper's son, Wei Jie, has a close relationship with Zhou Qianhu. He went to Zhou Qianhu for something. It seems that he heard that he died for two days. Why didn't Master Si Zheng report it?"
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, Wei Jie has been dead for two days, how could he tell Qin Zhong this?
Could it be that there are traitors in the Town Magic Division?
"This official has assigned Zhou Huan a task, and he is not in Beijing and Zhou for the time being."
Gu Fengtang said with deep eyebrows, and changed the topic: "The son of the old housekeeper is interesting. He listens to nonsense. After the morning court is over, I will interrogate him carefully."
Hearing this, Qin Zhong hurriedly laughed and said, "That's unfortunate, Wei Jie left Jingzhou yesterday evening, and went back to his hometown to do business. It will take some time before he can return to Jingzhou."
Gu Fengtang lowered his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it when he comes back."
Qin Zhong nodded with a smile, then walked aside silently.
Gu Fengtang remained calm, seeing that after Qin Zhong left, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, and Han Li had no intention of looking for him other than to glance at him.
It's interesting.
No one really would ask him for a question.
A moment later, at the third quarter of Mao Shi, the door of the Taiji Hall opened, and a young eunuch shouted, "Go up!"
When Qin Zhong and the others saw that it wasn't Liu Jin, their eyes flickered slightly. Was there no old eunuch in Cheng Xuansi's arrest?
Enter the Tai Chi Hall.
The empress was dressed in a golden red dragon robe, with jade beads hanging around her neck, sitting on the dragon chair, with Bai Xue and Bai Wei on both sides, and Fang Xuewu, the chief servant, standing on the side with a blank expression.
"Long live Your Majesty."
After Qin Zhong, Pei Tong and other civil and military officials stood up, they saluted the empress one after another.
"All the gentlemen are flat."
When the empress raised her jade hand, Qin Zhong and the others straightened up slightly.
In the hall, there was a moment of silence.
The Empress lowered her eyebrows and said:
"My lords, do you have anything to play today?"
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Gu Fengtang to play first, all looking at Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."
"Well, let's play!"
"Returning to Your Majesty, yesterday, Deputy Director Lu of Zhenma Division tracked down Cao Dachun, the Secretary of Chengxuan Division, and was related to the murder of Prince Yong'an. He arrested Cao Dachun, Liu Jin and other experienced eunuchs early in the morning."
"During the criminal trial, Liu Jin and others confessed and testified that Cao Dachun exchanged blood and poison with the Eighteen Demon Scorpion Demons, poisoning Prince Yong'an."
"As for the detailed process and behind-the-scenes instigation, it is still under investigation and the results will be forthcoming."
Gu Fengtang will tell the story of Cao Dachun's arrest, but he doesn't explain it too clearly.
When he was speaking, his spiritual consciousness was observing the changes in everyone's expressions.
Finding that except for Qin Zhong, everyone's expressions have not changed, they can't help frowning slightly.
Just when Gu Fengtang was about to withdraw his consciousness, he suddenly noticed that Han Li's chest heaved slightly, and his originally dull expression became a little soft and comfortable.
Other than that, the expressions of the others did not change much.
Is it Han Li? ?
A look of surprise flashed in Gu Fengtang's eyes. In his impression, Han Li was a very honest military officer. Why did he harm Prince Yong'an?
It's unbelievable!
As for Qin Zhong, Gu Fengtang had been investigating for a long time, and Qin Zhong had indeed planted three Shayueye flowers.
But five years ago, Sha Yueyehua died.
Qin Zhong also destroyed it.
As for whether the poison of Sha Yueyehua was poisoned by Qin Zhong when Prince Yong'an was killed, it has not yet been found out.
"Very good, pass on my word of mouth to ask Deputy Director Lu to find out the truth from Cao Dachun as soon as possible at all costs." The female emperor's eyes lighted up slightly, and at the same time a flash of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"It's Your Majesty!" Gu Fengtang bowed and returned to his original position.
"Dare to ask Gu Sizheng, Deputy Director Lu to arrest Cao Dachun, do you have enough evidence and official documents in advance?"
Suddenly, a person came out to look at Gu Fengtang and questioned him.
Everyone lowered their eyebrows and looked, the person who spoke was Yan Chang, the Duke of Yan.
Gu Fengtang was slightly surprised, he glanced at Yan Chang and said, "Of course, without enough evidence, Deputy Director Lu would not enter the palace to arrest Cao Dachun."
Yan Chang's eyes darkened: "That's right, but how did the old man hear that he has no evidence, nor arrest documents, and suppressed Cao Dachun with a strong posture, and took him away."
Gu Fengtang smiled and said, "Isn't Lord Yan not too clear about the meaning of the existence of the Zhenmagic Division?"
Yan Chang lowered his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Gu Fengtang still smiled and said: "The town magician investigates the case. Everyone except the emperor must cooperate. Including you, Yan Guogong, no one has the privilege."
"So, Cao Dachun first resisted and refused to cooperate, and then he wanted to escape. Deputy Director Lu took him, how can he be suppressed with a strong posture?"
"Let's not talk about the evidence obtained by Deputy Director Lu, just talk about Cao Dachun. If there is no problem in his heart, why didn't he cooperate and why did he run away?"
"There is no crime, Zhenmensi will return his innocence and justice."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chang's expression was serious and he didn't speak any more.
But the smile on Gu Fengtang's face disappeared: "Yan Guogong actually spoke for the old eunuch who killed Prince Yong'an, why?"
Duke Yan's expression faltered, and he snorted coldly, "What kind of friendship does this old man have with an old eunuch? I just feel that the Zhenmagic Division must follow the rules when investigating cases."
"If you ignore the legal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will undoubtedly be a bandit."
The corner of Gu Fengtang's mouth twitched coldly: "Duke Yan is so swearing, he looks like he is going to ask the crime town magician, I don't know if he listened to who said it, or guessed it on his own?"
Yan Guogong's old face darkened: "This old man is just talking about the facts, Gu Sizheng don't change the topic."
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "I have just made it very clear that Deputy Director Lu not only has evidence, but he is a gold medal demon suppressor himself and does not need any apprehension documents. Except for His Majesty, everyone has to cooperate with his investigation."
"I said so, can Duke Yan understand?"
"Finally, why does the Zhenmagic Division handle the case, why do you have to prove something to you, Lord Yan? I only need to prove it to His Majesty, and Yan Guogong is not qualified to know the details of the Zhenmagic Division's handling of the case."
"you!?"
Yan Guogong blushed when Gu Fengtang said it.
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "What? Could it be that what I said is wrong?"
Yan Guogong held the court wat and remained silent.
The female emperor's phoenix eyes flashed, she glanced at Yan Chang and said, "Duke, step down, I personally asked Deputy Secretary Lu to handle this matter."
Duke Yan was slightly surprised, and immediately returned to his original position after a salute.
Qin Zhong, Pei Tong, Zhen Guogong and others shook their heads secretly. Lu Ning dared to take Cao Dachun directly. How could His Majesty not know in advance?
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to report." Seeing that no one said anything, Qin Zhong stepped forward to salute.
"Old Qin, tell me."
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is still a matter of the troubled people in the five states."
"The veteran has sent people to the five states to find out that some people deliberately incited the people to cause chaos in the five states, and even burned, killed and looted. This has nothing to do with the veteran."
"But those rioters kept saying that His Majesty would execute the old official. The old official only helped Deputy Secretary Lu once, but those rioters bit the old official and would not let go."
"Excuse me, old minister, it's just a group of unscrupulous people bullying His Majesty who is young and a woman, unworthy of sitting on the dragon chair, so under the instigation of others, they stir up trouble everywhere and affect His Majesty's rule."
Qin Zhong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone stared at Qin Zhong, thinking that although those rioters have problems, aren't you, Qin Zhong, a treacherous villain?
"Your Majesty, I have a law to eliminate civil disorder."
At this time, Zhang Juming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, stepped forward, bowed and said.
The empress who was staring at Qin Zhong looked at Zhang Juming and raised her mouth and said, "Zhang Aiqing, tell me."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's solution is very simple. Let the town magician investigate the old Qin Zhong of Qin Pavilion immediately, and rectify the laws of the country, and give an explanation to the people of the five states, and the disaster will surely be quelled."
Officials: "..."
Qin Zhong: "..."
Empress: "..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Juming in surprise, only Zhang Juming dared to say this, not because Zhang Juming was awesome, but because he was too straightforward.
Everyone knew that Qin Zhong was guilty, and it was a serious crime, killing his head ten times was not an exaggeration, but anyone who dared to say it in front of Qin Zhong in the court hall, even Gu Fengtang would not.
But Zhang Juming dared to say it.
"Master Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Zhong turned his face and glared at Zhang Juming.
Zhang Juming was not afraid at all, looked directly at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to quell the civil unrest in the five states, this method is the most effective."
Just as Qin Zhong was about to speak, the Empress coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhang, do you have any other options?"
Zhang Juming hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this method of the minister is the fastest and most direct method."
Qin Zhong shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty asks if you have any other solutions, especially... don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "That's the only way."
Everyone: "..."
This is to kill Qin Zhong!
The female emperor's phoenix eyes flashed slightly and she said: "Zhang Aiqing, I know that you are upright, but don't say such words that are not conducive to the unity of the monarch and his subjects in the future."
Zhang Juming opened his mouth.
The empress continued to say: "I have been thinking about the riots in the five prefectures for a while, and the Department of Zhenmagic has too many affairs to handle."
"Therefore, Zhang Aiqing, I will now promote you to be the second assistant to the cabinet, and cooperate with Elder Qin Ge to solve the troubled people in the five prefectures."
Hearing this, except for Gu Fengtang, the other civil and military officials were stunned.
Zhang Juming himself was stunned!
Your Majesty, I just want to kill Qin Zhong, you don't have to!
If I was promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet, I would have to look at Qin Zhong's treacherous old face every day, it would make me sick to death!
Zhang Juming opened his mouth, and seeing the empress's firm gaze, he finally took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with Elder Qin Ge to investigate this matter and suppress it."
Qin Zhong on the side was both excited and frowning. What was excited was that the empress still valued him very much, otherwise she would not have entrusted him with the task of suppressing the turmoil in the five states.
What makes her eyebrows heavy is that the empress actually promoted Zhang Juming as the second assistant, and also served as the secretary of the Ministry of punishment. Is this to check and balance herself?
Pressure ah, full of pressure!
Qin Zhong's old eyes squinted at Zhang Juming, thinking that Zhang Juming's wings were growing, and it would be difficult to get rid of him.
He can only avoid it as much as possible, so as not to have major conflicts with it.
Otherwise, such a single-minded person is very difficult to deal with.
moment.
Ending early.
After the empress left, Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials congratulated Zhang Juming one after another.
Zhang Juming, who was originally serious, actually laughed amidst the congratulations of the crowd.
All the civil and military officials were amazed, wondering why Zhang Juming, who has always been serious and unsmiling, is abnormal today?
Zhang Juming stared at the back of Qin Zhong leaving, and the smile in his eyes was getting bigger and bigger.
Just now he didn't understand the Empress' thoughts, but now he finally figured it out, the Empress wanted him to fight Qin Zhong.
Only in this way, Qin Zhong will gradually reveal his true nature, and finally get rid of Qin Zhong.
Therefore, it seems that the empress is partial to Qin Zhong, but in fact she values him more.
"Haha, Qin Zhong, you treacherous old thief, your time is numbered."
Zhang Juming laughed heartily.
……
Yongle Palace.
Zhang Juming personally came to thank the Empress, not because the Empress gave him a promotion, but because the Empress gave him a chance to fight Qin Zhong.
This is very important.
With this opportunity, he can confront Qin Zhong tit for tat until he catches Qin Zhong more.
At that time, even if he sacrificed himself, as long as he could get rid of the treacherous old thief Qin Zhong, it would be worth it!
"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Deputy Secretary Lu." The empress looked at Zhang Juming with a smile.
"Deputy Director Lu? Lu Ning?"
Zhang Juming was a little stunned. In his heart, he actually admired Lu Ning's boldness. It can be said that he was young and promising.
The female emperor said: "It's Deputy Director Lu, who has been giving me advice to promote you to second assistant so that I can check and balance Qin Zhong."
Zhang Juming's expression was very exciting, and he sighed: "This Deputy Director Lu is really a young prodigy in the first week of the week, and it is also a blessing for the first week of the week."
The Empress smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Juming was amazed for a moment, and bowed deeply: "The minister resigns."
……
Town Magic Division.
Gu Fengtang returned to the Hall of Justice after the morning court.
"See your lord."
The five of Lu Ning saluted Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang sat in front of the desk, nodded, and then his eyes fell on the last person.
It was a man in his 40s. He looked younger, but his temples were slightly gray, his body was of medium height, and he looked very strong.
It was Ren Wujie, the deputy director.
"Is the injury healed?"
"Master, it's better!"
Ren Wujie's voice was slightly low, and with his pale expression, it was obvious that he had not fully recovered.
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "Come on duty, let's do some light tasks of interrogation first."
"It's my lord." Ren Wujie nodded.
Gu Fengtang glanced over Chen Hu, Zhang Chong and the others, and said in a deep voice: "You have all heard about the major event that happened yesterday. Deputy Director Lu has found out the murder of Prince Yong'an. The murderer is Cao Dachun, who has been arrested and brought to justice. .”
As he spoke, he paused and stared at Chen Hu and the others.
The four of them looked at each other and glanced at Lu Ning next to them.
Especially Ren Wujie, since he was injured at the end of the month, he came to work for the first time today, so it was also the first time he saw Lu Ning, so he had to watch Lu Ning more often.
Gu Fengtang raised his voice and said: "This case has been accumulated in the Zhenma Division for 33 years, and you have investigated it for at least 20 years. However, Deputy Director Lu has just taken office for half a month, and the investigation of this case has revealed the truth."
"This fully proves that it's not that Zhenmensi is incompetent, but that there is something wrong with people."
Hearing this, Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Hongchen, and Ren Wujie looked a little ugly, and they didn't dare to refute the facts.
Gu Fengtang saw that the faces of the four people had changed, but it was different from Han Li's change, his eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Okay, then I will do the tasks in my hands well, and besides that, don't let go of your cultivation."
"Chang'an stay, the others go."
"It's an adult!"
The four nodded respectfully, and after glancing at Lu Ning, they turned and left quickly.
Lu Ning looked back and saw the four of them going away, so he turned around and asked, "How is it, my lord?"
Gu Fengtang looked at Lu Ning admiringly, and the corner of his mouth twitched for a moment: "You really make sense, as soon as I see the civil and military officials, they rush up to say hello and ask about Cao Dachun."
"Even Qin Zhong is like this."
"However, there are a few people who remain indifferent, that is, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, Duke Rong, and Han Li."
"These four people, Rong Guogong can exclude, because he is not a military officer."
"Zhen Guogong, Yan Guogong, and Han Li originally acted in a low-key manner. They didn't say hello and ask, so they can't explain anything."
"But above the court, I will follow what you said, after you say it."
"Han Li, who had a dull expression on his face, was obviously relieved."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "It turned out to be him."
Gu Fengtang said: "Don't worry, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, Lord Yan stood up and accused the Town Magic Division of not following the law and being lawless. Regarding this matter, he argued with the official in the court."
"Although this is consistent with Yanchang's tough character, it is not consistent with his low-key character."
"So, it's a bit difficult for me to determine who it is."
The corner of Lu Ning's mouth slightly raised: "My lord, don't worry, just send someone to watch the two of you. You can always find out some secrets."
Gu Fengtang nodded and said: "What you said is not bad."
"There is one more thing, you should pay attention to it secretly."
Lu Ning asked curiously, "My lord, what's the matter?"
Gu Fengtang stared at the outside of the hall with deep eyebrows: "There is Qin Zhong's traitor in the Zhenma Division, find him out as soon as possible."
Lu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and only after he asked clearly did he know that Qin Zhong actually got the news of Zhou Huan's death?
"The subordinates are secretly watching."
Then Lu Ning resigned, turned around and went to the black prison.
Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, and Sheng Xuan did not rest all night, and interrogated Cao Dachun overnight, writing a full fifty pages of confession alone.
"My lord, almost, Cao Dachun has nothing to explain." Gu Wushuang said a little tired.
Lu Ning nodded, took the confession file and said: "Go and rest, call He Donglai."
"It's an adult!"
Gu Wushuang and the three took others to rest.
Lu Ning was sitting in the dark cell, watching Cao Dachun's confession. The content of the confession was similar to that of Liu Jin and others, but more detailed.
Cao Dachun's confession of his crimes was not because he was a confidant of the prince who failed to fight for the throne, but because he was forced to leave the palace by Cheng Xuansi, which ruined his life, which became the grief of Cao Dachun's life.
He just wanted to bring down the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't mention Mr. Jinlin, he just said that he supported King Yongshan in his heart, but King Yongshan was useless at all.
Even if the King of Yongshan was given a chance, he couldn't grasp it.
He explained how he made a deal with the Scorpio Demon, how he obtained the blood poison, and finally how he poisoned Prince Yong'an without anyone noticing it.
Indeed, as Lu Ning guessed, Cao Dachun did not directly poison Prince Yong'an.
Because it is easy to be detected that way, but the blood and poison are reconciled as fertilizer, and given to cherry trees and linden trees, so that the fruits they bear bear insignificant toxins.
Eating less is fine, but eating too much will make your body worse.
Cao Dachun also confessed that the blood poison in Prince Yong'an is not a kind of blood poison, but there should be poison, saying that it is Qin Zhong's Shayueyehua.
But Cao Dachun had no evidence, he just suspected that Qin Zhong bribed the court ladies and eunuchs to poison Prince Yong'an.
In addition, Cao Dachun also confessed that King Yongshan had a rebellious heart, and even King Yongshan even made the dragon robe.
"Lu Chang'an, Prince Yong'an, our family did not kill each other alone, and our family has also explained everything that should be explained. Can we spend the rest of our lives in the sky prison?"
Lu Ning flashed his cold eyes and asked, "Do you know Han Li?"
"Han Li?"
Cao Dachun frowned, and said: "Isn't he the left servant of the Ministry of War now? Why do you ask our family?"
Lu Ning said: "I don't like nonsense, what do you think of Han Li?"
Cao Dachun shook his head: "Our family has nothing to do with him, so it's not very clear."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "What about Duke Yan?"
Cao Dachun's old eyes flashed: "Yanchang? He is a heavy-hearted person. He controls the Dragonrider. He is also very low-key. It is difficult to catch him unless someone is sent to watch him every day."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, not long after, He Dong came with someone.
"grown ups."
"Take Cao Dachun to the sky prison and put him on the third floor."
Lu Ning got up and said.
"It's an adult."
He Dong nodded, and immediately sent people to escort Cao Dachun to the prison.
Lu Ning also followed to avoid accidents.
Seeing Cao Dachun locked up in the cell on the third floor of the Heavenly Prison, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Mo glanced at Eunuch Cao, shook his head and said, "This old bastard is still alive today, what a retribution!"
……
In a blink of an eye, March [-]th.
Experience: 2715 million points.
After Lu Ning glanced at the catalog, he didn't have any experience.
When he came to Beizhengsi, he found that Wang Ding, who had gone to Feng'an County in Yunzhou, had returned.
Lu Ning slightly lowered his eyebrows and said, "Have you caught Deng Yan?"
Wang Ding nodded and said: "Return to your lord, if you catch him, you will be put in a dark prison."
Lu Ning was a little surprised. Normally speaking, if Deng Yan had a problem, even if Wang Ding went to Deng Yan's hometown, he would be in vain.
"What was he doing when you caught him?"
"To bury his old mother, we gave him a day. After burying his old mother, he obediently came back with us."
"..."
Lu Ning was a little stunned, it seemed like a coincidence.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
Wang Ding was a little stunned: "My lord, don't you want to interrogate?"
Lu Ning shook his head: "There is no need to interrogate."
Wang Ding nodded, and immediately released Deng Yan.
In the main hall, Lu Ning looked at Gu Wushuang and said, "You were asked to check the second floor of the dungeon and the food delivery person, how did you check?"
Gu Wushuang frowned and said: "There is no result, everyone seems to be normal."
Lu Ning said coldly: "That's weird, is it Wenren Tang who was helped by ghosts?"
As soon as the voice fell, a hundred households walked in quickly from outside: "See Mr. Lu, Mr. Sizheng asked his subordinates to tell you that the man who heard about it has made a move."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes lit up, and Gu Wushuang and the others were also surprised.
So what about the former Great Elder of the Overlord Sect, he couldn't bear Master Lu's method of torture.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Ning with a hint of fear.
In a dark prison.
When Lu Ning came with someone, Chen Hu laughed triumphantly: "Deputy Lu, your punishment of cutting flesh is really severe. Chen just cut him for seven days, and he can't bear it."
Lu Ning smiled, walked to the prison and saw that Wen Rentang's left and right pectoral muscles were flattened, and the ribs on both sides were shaved so that the bones were exposed, and a beating heart could be seen.
Taking a look, Lu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, this Chen Hu really knows how to cut flesh.
He just proposed a method, he didn't expect to cut it so seriously.
The key point is that Wenren Tang's mouth is really hard, and he couldn't hold it in the end.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Ning looked at Gu Fengtang and gave a slight salute: "My lord."
Gu Fengtang looked away from the file, nodded to Lu Ning and said: "The criminal law is good, it has been filed."
When the confession that was about to be read was provided to Lu Ning, he continued to look down at the rest of the confession.
Lu Ning took a closer look, and Wen Rentang admitted that he was the one who attacked Emperor Ming Wu the night before the Battle of Yunlu, severely injured Gu Fengtang, and damaged Emperor Ming Wu's life, making it difficult to have children.
The person behind the scenes made Lu Ning's eyes condense.
This person turned out to be Emperor Ming Wu's half-brother, the sixth prince Zhou Huaihao, who is now King Yongshan.
Wenren Tang, who was invited by King Yongshan, originally wanted to kill Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
But the people from the Zhenma Division stepped forward one by one, fearless of death, and finally waited for Pei Tong and Kou Shize, and a 30 army surrounded Wenren Tang.
Even if Wenren Tang Sanpin is strong, it is impossible to kill all 30 troops, and he will be exhausted to death.
Seeing that it was hopeless to kill the third prince, Wen Rentang fled and went to return to the sixth prince.
Hearing that the third prince was not dead, the sixth prince was very angry. After all, this was a good opportunity to kill the third prince.
If you miss it, it may be difficult to find opportunities in the future.
Then he ordered Wen Rentang to go back and kill the third prince again.
But outside of the third prince's tent, the defense became tighter.
Wen Rentang did not complete the task, and was ridiculed by the sixth prince when he returned, and returned to the Bazong in a fit of anger, and began to act in a low-key manner.
After Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he had always been brooding about the assassination of Wenren Tang, especially after Prince Yong'an was killed, he had difficulty in bearing children, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Let Gu Fengtang secretly investigate the overlord's people.
In the end, Wenren Tang was targeted, but there was not enough evidence to prove that it was Wenren Tang who did it back then.
Therefore, he was hanging all the time, and Wen Rentang was not arrested.
Until 20 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it, and regardless of the legal system, he asked Gu Fengtang to lead someone to arrest Wenren Tang.
Wen Rentang knew in his heart that Zhenmagus had no evidence, even if he was arrested, he would not be able to find out the result, and he would have to be released sooner or later.
Who knew that this detention lasted for 20 years.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty heard that Empress Yuanning was pregnant, so he locked up Wenren Tang without interrogation.
Seeing this, there is no more text.
Lu Ning looked at the confession in Gu Fengtang's hand. It happened that Gu Fengtang read the rest of the part, raised his head and handed the confession to Lu Ning.
He got up and stood in front of the prison, staring coldly at Wenren Tang with his hands behind his back: "Before you joined the Overlord Sect, you were a disciple of Wuxiang Sect, right?"
A look of surprise flashed in Wen Rentang's eyes: "As expected of you, Gu Fengtang."
Gu Fengtang slowly clenched his palms: "Wuxiangmen is a sect that has been extinct in the world for a hundred years. I didn't expect you to be the successor."
Back then, Wenren Tang used the Wuxiang Sect's Little Wuxiang Palm, which was extremely powerful and caused great damage to human body functions.
In fact, Gu Fengtang was more seriously injured than Emperor Ming Wu at that time, but he didn't hurt his lifeblood. Even so, it still caused his progress in cultivation to be slow for decades.
In the prison, Wen Rentang sneered twice, but did not speak again.
Gu Fengtang didn't say anything, turned his head and said: "Chen Hu, Zhang Chong."
"Subordinates are here."
"Take it to the third floor of the dungeon, and close it first."
"It's an adult."
Chen and Hu personally escorted Wenren Tang to the prison, accompanied by thousands of households.
At this time, Lu Ning also read the rest of the statement.
Wen Rentang did not explain who helped him escape from the prison, which made Lu Ning frown.
But this time, Wenren Tang was imprisoned on the third floor of the prison, so there shouldn't be any problems with Mr. Mo guarding him.
Lu Ning sorted out the confession and handed it to Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang went to the palace with his confession.
……
There are three floors of the prison.
After Chen Hu and Zhang Chong imprisoned Wenren Tang in Cell No. 30, they told Mr. Mo to take him away.
Mo Lao's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked slowly towards cell No. 30.
For a moment, he stood in front of the cell, looking at Wen Rentang who was covered in blood in the cell.
Wenren Tang also stared at Mo Lao coldly, with a complex look in his eyes.
After a long time.
Then Mo Laocai said coldly: "It's really useless, if you give you a chance, you won't be able to escape Jingzhou."

Thanks for the reward and support from the boss of calm self, (*^▽^*)! !
Thanks to all the readers who silently supported (/≧▽≦)/! !
(End of this chapter)
Lu Ning smiled, looked at Gu Fengtang and said:
"My lord, that's right."
"Subordinates have arrested Cao Dachun, and the Chinese and military officials must be surprised."
"As soon as the emperor goes to court tomorrow, the civil and military officials will definitely ask questions in front of the adults. The adults only need to pay attention to those who don't pay much attention to this matter."
"The court should mention Cao Dachun's crimes, and must make it clear that Cao Dachun is the real culprit who murdered Prince Yong'an."
"Don't say it too clearly."
"Look at some people's reactions."
Gu Fengtang frowned and said, "That's all?"
Lu Ning nodded and said: "Although these can't explain anything, the people behind the Five Color Snow Cicada will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. Even if they don't talk to adults, they will behave differently from before."
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "It's a relief? It makes sense."
The next day.
March sixteenth.
Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and in the large courtyard in front of the Tai Chi Hall, civil and military officials arrived one after another.
Three or five people stood together in a circle, talking about Cao Dachun being taken away by the Town Magic Division.
Some people are talking about what Cao Dachun committed?Why was he suddenly arrested?
Some people also whispered that Lu Ning was too arrogant. He became the deputy director of Zhenma Division and acted mischievously. He didn't have the laws of the Great Zhou at all.
"Cough cough...!"
After a while, Mr. Qin Ge came slowly, and when he cleared his throat, everyone fell silent instantly.
Sheng Minzheng, Duke of Zhen, was an old man with a thin face. Looking at the age of 60, he held Chaohu in his hand and glanced at Qin Zhong lightly.
Beside him, Duke Yan Chang, Uncle Pei Tong, Duke Rong and others were all there.
Some people greeted Qin Zhong, while others ignored him.
Zhang Juming stood with some officials of the Ministry of Punishment, not smiling, seeing Qin Zhong approaching, a look of boredom flashed across his face.
Qin Zhong didn't care about everyone's eyes, he walked quickly to the front and stood there.
After taking a look at Zhen Guogong, Yan Guogong and others, he hugged the Chaohu and remained silent.
Not long after, Gu Fengtang came wearing court clothes and holding a court wat.
When all the officials saw it, they stepped forward to greet Gu Fengtang one after another.
"Gu Sizheng, good morning!"
"Master Gu, good morning!"
"Gu Sizheng, your face is full of spring breeze. I wonder if there is any happy event?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity of greeting Gu Fengtang, all the officials asked Chengxuan Department about Cao Dachun.
Gu Fengtang just smiled and kept silent.
"Everyone, if you have any questions, let's discuss them in the morning." Gu Fengtang cupped his hands and walked forward.
At this time, Pei Tong, Zhang Juming, Shi Rui and others came forward to greet Gu Fengtang, and immediately mentioned Cao Dachun, saying that the town magic department was doing a good job.
Zhang Juming, in particular, is very much in favor of Zhenmagus' actions.
After a while, Qin Zhong, Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others also came forward to greet Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, Qin Zhong and the others also took the opportunity of saying hello, and stepped forward to ask Cao Dachun what he had committed, and why was he arrested by the Zhenmagic Division?
"Old Qin Ge, if you have something to say, let's say it above the court." Gu Fengtang smiled.
Qin Zhong nodded with a dry smile, glanced at Li Hongmao, Xu Kaishi and others, and everyone walked away knowingly.
Qin Zhong and Gu Fengtang whispered to each other: "I heard that Zhou Huan and Zhou Qianhu died on duty?"
Gu Fengtang lowered his eyebrows: "Who did Mr. Ge listen to?"
Qin Zhong lowered his voice and said: "The old man's housekeeper's son, Wei Jie, has a close relationship with Zhou Qianhu. He went to Zhou Qianhu for something. It seems that he heard that he died for two days. Why didn't Master Si Zheng report it?"
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, Wei Jie has been dead for two days, how could he tell Qin Zhong this?
Could it be that there are traitors in the Town Magic Division?
"This official has assigned Zhou Huan a task, and he is not in Beijing and Zhou for the time being."
Gu Fengtang said with deep eyebrows, and changed the topic: "The son of the old housekeeper is interesting. He listens to nonsense. After the morning court is over, I will interrogate him carefully."
Hearing this, Qin Zhong hurriedly laughed and said, "That's unfortunate, Wei Jie left Jingzhou yesterday evening, and went back to his hometown to do business. It will take some time before he can return to Jingzhou."
Gu Fengtang lowered his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it when he comes back."
Qin Zhong nodded with a smile, then walked aside silently.
Gu Fengtang remained calm, seeing that after Qin Zhong left, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, and Han Li had no intention of looking for him other than to glance at him.
It's interesting.
No one really would ask him for a question.
A moment later, at the third quarter of Mao Shi, the door of the Taiji Hall opened, and a young eunuch shouted, "Go up!"
When Qin Zhong and the others saw that it wasn't Liu Jin, their eyes flickered slightly. Was there no old eunuch in Cheng Xuansi's arrest?
Enter the Tai Chi Hall.
The empress was dressed in a golden red dragon robe, with jade beads hanging around her neck, sitting on the dragon chair, with Bai Xue and Bai Wei on both sides, and Fang Xuewu, the chief servant, standing on the side with a blank expression.
"Long live Your Majesty."
After Qin Zhong, Pei Tong and other civil and military officials stood up, they saluted the empress one after another.
"All the gentlemen are flat."
When the empress raised her jade hand, Qin Zhong and the others straightened up slightly.
In the hall, there was a moment of silence.
The Empress lowered her eyebrows and said:
"My lords, do you have anything to play today?"
Everyone seemed to be waiting for Gu Fengtang to play first, all looking at Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang's eyes flickered slightly, and he took a step forward: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."
"Well, let's play!"
"Returning to Your Majesty, yesterday, Deputy Director Lu of Zhenma Division tracked down Cao Dachun, the Secretary of Chengxuan Division, and was related to the murder of Prince Yong'an. He arrested Cao Dachun, Liu Jin and other experienced eunuchs early in the morning."
"During the criminal trial, Liu Jin and others confessed and testified that Cao Dachun exchanged blood and poison with the Eighteen Demon Scorpion Demons, poisoning Prince Yong'an."
"As for the detailed process and behind-the-scenes instigation, it is still under investigation and the results will be forthcoming."
Gu Fengtang will tell the story of Cao Dachun's arrest, but he doesn't explain it too clearly.
When he was speaking, his spiritual consciousness was observing the changes in everyone's expressions.
Finding that except for Qin Zhong, everyone's expressions have not changed, they can't help frowning slightly.
Just when Gu Fengtang was about to withdraw his consciousness, he suddenly noticed that Han Li's chest heaved slightly, and his originally dull expression became a little soft and comfortable.
Other than that, the expressions of the others did not change much.
Is it Han Li? ?
A look of surprise flashed in Gu Fengtang's eyes. In his impression, Han Li was a very honest military officer. Why did he harm Prince Yong'an?
It's unbelievable!
As for Qin Zhong, Gu Fengtang had been investigating for a long time, and Qin Zhong had indeed planted three Shayueye flowers.
But five years ago, Sha Yueyehua died.
Qin Zhong also destroyed it.
As for whether the poison of Sha Yueyehua was poisoned by Qin Zhong when Prince Yong'an was killed, it has not yet been found out.
"Very good, pass on my word of mouth to ask Deputy Director Lu to find out the truth from Cao Dachun as soon as possible at all costs." The female emperor's eyes lighted up slightly, and at the same time a flash of coldness flashed across her eyes.
"It's Your Majesty!" Gu Fengtang bowed and returned to his original position.
"Dare to ask Gu Sizheng, Deputy Director Lu to arrest Cao Dachun, do you have enough evidence and official documents in advance?"
Suddenly, a person came out to look at Gu Fengtang and questioned him.
Everyone lowered their eyebrows and looked, the person who spoke was Yan Chang, the Duke of Yan.
Gu Fengtang was slightly surprised, he glanced at Yan Chang and said, "Of course, without enough evidence, Deputy Director Lu would not enter the palace to arrest Cao Dachun."
Yan Chang's eyes darkened: "That's right, but how did the old man hear that he has no evidence, nor arrest documents, and suppressed Cao Dachun with a strong posture, and took him away."
Gu Fengtang smiled and said, "Isn't Lord Yan not too clear about the meaning of the existence of the Zhenmagic Division?"
Yan Chang lowered his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Gu Fengtang still smiled and said: "The town magician investigates the case. Everyone except the emperor must cooperate. Including you, Yan Guogong, no one has the privilege."
"So, Cao Dachun first resisted and refused to cooperate, and then he wanted to escape. Deputy Director Lu took him, how can he be suppressed with a strong posture?"
"Let's not talk about the evidence obtained by Deputy Director Lu, just talk about Cao Dachun. If there is no problem in his heart, why didn't he cooperate and why did he run away?"
"There is no crime, Zhenmensi will return his innocence and justice."
Upon hearing this, Yan Chang's expression was serious and he didn't speak any more.
But the smile on Gu Fengtang's face disappeared: "Yan Guogong actually spoke for the old eunuch who killed Prince Yong'an, why?"
Duke Yan's expression faltered, and he snorted coldly, "What kind of friendship does this old man have with an old eunuch? I just feel that the Zhenmagic Division must follow the rules when investigating cases."
"If you ignore the legal system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will undoubtedly be a bandit."
The corner of Gu Fengtang's mouth twitched coldly: "Duke Yan is so swearing, he looks like he is going to ask the crime town magician, I don't know if he listened to who said it, or guessed it on his own?"
Yan Guogong's old face darkened: "This old man is just talking about the facts, Gu Sizheng don't change the topic."
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "I have just made it very clear that Deputy Director Lu not only has evidence, but he is a gold medal demon suppressor himself and does not need any apprehension documents. Except for His Majesty, everyone has to cooperate with his investigation."
"I said so, can Duke Yan understand?"
"Finally, why does the Zhenmagic Division handle the case, why do you have to prove something to you, Lord Yan? I only need to prove it to His Majesty, and Yan Guogong is not qualified to know the details of the Zhenmagic Division's handling of the case."
"you!?"
Yan Guogong blushed when Gu Fengtang said it.
Gu Fengtang said coldly: "What? Could it be that what I said is wrong?"
Yan Guogong held the court wat and remained silent.
The female emperor's phoenix eyes flashed, she glanced at Yan Chang and said, "Duke, step down, I personally asked Deputy Secretary Lu to handle this matter."
Duke Yan was slightly surprised, and immediately returned to his original position after a salute.
Qin Zhong, Pei Tong, Zhen Guogong and others shook their heads secretly. Lu Ning dared to take Cao Dachun directly. How could His Majesty not know in advance?
"Your Majesty, the old minister has something important to report." Seeing that no one said anything, Qin Zhong stepped forward to salute.
"Old Qin, tell me."
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is still a matter of the troubled people in the five states."
"The veteran has sent people to the five states to find out that some people deliberately incited the people to cause chaos in the five states, and even burned, killed and looted. This has nothing to do with the veteran."
"But those rioters kept saying that His Majesty would execute the old official. The old official only helped Deputy Secretary Lu once, but those rioters bit the old official and would not let go."
"Excuse me, old minister, it's just a group of unscrupulous people bullying His Majesty who is young and a woman, unworthy of sitting on the dragon chair, so under the instigation of others, they stir up trouble everywhere and affect His Majesty's rule."
Qin Zhong said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, everyone stared at Qin Zhong, thinking that although those rioters have problems, aren't you, Qin Zhong, a treacherous villain?
"Your Majesty, I have a law to eliminate civil disorder."
At this time, Zhang Juming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, stepped forward, bowed and said.
The empress who was staring at Qin Zhong looked at Zhang Juming and raised her mouth and said, "Zhang Aiqing, tell me."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister's solution is very simple. Let the town magician investigate the old Qin Zhong of Qin Pavilion immediately, and rectify the laws of the country, and give an explanation to the people of the five states, and the disaster will surely be quelled."
Officials: "..."
Qin Zhong: "..."
Empress: "..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Juming in surprise, only Zhang Juming dared to say this, not because Zhang Juming was awesome, but because he was too straightforward.
Everyone knew that Qin Zhong was guilty, and it was a serious crime, killing his head ten times was not an exaggeration, but anyone who dared to say it in front of Qin Zhong in the court hall, even Gu Fengtang would not.
But Zhang Juming dared to say it.
"Master Zhang, do you know what you are talking about?"
Qin Zhong turned his face and glared at Zhang Juming.
Zhang Juming was not afraid at all, looked directly at the empress and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to quell the civil unrest in the five states, this method is the most effective."
Just as Qin Zhong was about to speak, the Empress coughed lightly and said, "Master Zhang, do you have any other options?"
Zhang Juming hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this method of the minister is the fastest and most direct method."
Qin Zhong shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty asks if you have any other solutions, especially... don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Juming glanced at Qin Zhong coldly: "That's the only way."
Everyone: "..."
This is to kill Qin Zhong!
The female emperor's phoenix eyes flashed slightly and she said: "Zhang Aiqing, I know that you are upright, but don't say such words that are not conducive to the unity of the monarch and his subjects in the future."
Zhang Juming opened his mouth.
The empress continued to say: "I have been thinking about the riots in the five prefectures for a while, and the Department of Zhenmagic has too many affairs to handle."
"Therefore, Zhang Aiqing, I will now promote you to be the second assistant to the cabinet, and cooperate with Elder Qin Ge to solve the troubled people in the five prefectures."
Hearing this, except for Gu Fengtang, the other civil and military officials were stunned.
Zhang Juming himself was stunned!
Your Majesty, I just want to kill Qin Zhong, you don't have to!
If I was promoted to the second assistant of the cabinet, I would have to look at Qin Zhong's treacherous old face every day, it would make me sick to death!
Zhang Juming opened his mouth, and seeing the empress's firm gaze, he finally took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with Elder Qin Ge to investigate this matter and suppress it."
Qin Zhong on the side was both excited and frowning. What was excited was that the empress still valued him very much, otherwise she would not have entrusted him with the task of suppressing the turmoil in the five states.
What makes her eyebrows heavy is that the empress actually promoted Zhang Juming as the second assistant, and also served as the secretary of the Ministry of punishment. Is this to check and balance herself?
Pressure ah, full of pressure!
Qin Zhong's old eyes squinted at Zhang Juming, thinking that Zhang Juming's wings were growing, and it would be difficult to get rid of him.
He can only avoid it as much as possible, so as not to have major conflicts with it.
Otherwise, such a single-minded person is very difficult to deal with.
moment.
Ending early.
After the empress left, Qin Zhong and other civil and military officials congratulated Zhang Juming one after another.
Zhang Juming, who was originally serious, actually laughed amidst the congratulations of the crowd.
All the civil and military officials were amazed, wondering why Zhang Juming, who has always been serious and unsmiling, is abnormal today?
Zhang Juming stared at the back of Qin Zhong leaving, and the smile in his eyes was getting bigger and bigger.
Just now he didn't understand the Empress' thoughts, but now he finally figured it out, the Empress wanted him to fight Qin Zhong.
Only in this way, Qin Zhong will gradually reveal his true nature, and finally get rid of Qin Zhong.
Therefore, it seems that the empress is partial to Qin Zhong, but in fact she values him more.
"Haha, Qin Zhong, you treacherous old thief, your time is numbered."
Zhang Juming laughed heartily.
……
Yongle Palace.
Zhang Juming personally came to thank the Empress, not because the Empress gave him a promotion, but because the Empress gave him a chance to fight Qin Zhong.
This is very important.
With this opportunity, he can confront Qin Zhong tit for tat until he catches Qin Zhong more.
At that time, even if he sacrificed himself, as long as he could get rid of the treacherous old thief Qin Zhong, it would be worth it!
"You don't need to thank me, if you want to thank you, thank Deputy Secretary Lu." The empress looked at Zhang Juming with a smile.
"Deputy Director Lu? Lu Ning?"
Zhang Juming was a little stunned. In his heart, he actually admired Lu Ning's boldness. It can be said that he was young and promising.
The female emperor said: "It's Deputy Director Lu, who has been giving me advice to promote you to second assistant so that I can check and balance Qin Zhong."
Zhang Juming's expression was very exciting, and he sighed: "This Deputy Director Lu is really a young prodigy in the first week of the week, and it is also a blessing for the first week of the week."
The Empress smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Juming was amazed for a moment, and bowed deeply: "The minister resigns."
……
Town Magic Division.
Gu Fengtang returned to the Hall of Justice after the morning court.
"See your lord."
The five of Lu Ning saluted Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang sat in front of the desk, nodded, and then his eyes fell on the last person.
It was a man in his 40s. He looked younger, but his temples were slightly gray, his body was of medium height, and he looked very strong.
It was Ren Wujie, the deputy director.
"Is the injury healed?"
"Master, it's better!"
Ren Wujie's voice was slightly low, and with his pale expression, it was obvious that he had not fully recovered.
Gu Fengtang nodded secretly: "Come on duty, let's do some light tasks of interrogation first."
"It's my lord." Ren Wujie nodded.
Gu Fengtang glanced over Chen Hu, Zhang Chong and the others, and said in a deep voice: "You have all heard about the major event that happened yesterday. Deputy Director Lu has found out the murder of Prince Yong'an. The murderer is Cao Dachun, who has been arrested and brought to justice. .”
As he spoke, he paused and stared at Chen Hu and the others.
The four of them looked at each other and glanced at Lu Ning next to them.
Especially Ren Wujie, since he was injured at the end of the month, he came to work for the first time today, so it was also the first time he saw Lu Ning, so he had to watch Lu Ning more often.
Gu Fengtang raised his voice and said: "This case has been accumulated in the Zhenma Division for 33 years, and you have investigated it for at least 20 years. However, Deputy Director Lu has just taken office for half a month, and the investigation of this case has revealed the truth."
"This fully proves that it's not that Zhenmensi is incompetent, but that there is something wrong with people."
Hearing this, Chen Hu, Zhang Chong, Zuo Hongchen, and Ren Wujie looked a little ugly, and they didn't dare to refute the facts.
Gu Fengtang saw that the faces of the four people had changed, but it was different from Han Li's change, his eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Okay, then I will do the tasks in my hands well, and besides that, don't let go of your cultivation."
"Chang'an stay, the others go."
"It's an adult!"
The four nodded respectfully, and after glancing at Lu Ning, they turned and left quickly.
Lu Ning looked back and saw the four of them going away, so he turned around and asked, "How is it, my lord?"
Gu Fengtang looked at Lu Ning admiringly, and the corner of his mouth twitched for a moment: "You really make sense, as soon as I see the civil and military officials, they rush up to say hello and ask about Cao Dachun."
"Even Qin Zhong is like this."
"However, there are a few people who remain indifferent, that is, Duke Zhen, Duke Yan, Duke Rong, and Han Li."
"These four people, Rong Guogong can exclude, because he is not a military officer."
"Zhen Guogong, Yan Guogong, and Han Li originally acted in a low-key manner. They didn't say hello and ask, so they can't explain anything."
"But above the court, I will follow what you said, after you say it."
"Han Li, who had a dull expression on his face, was obviously relieved."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "It turned out to be him."
Gu Fengtang said: "Don't worry, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, but at this time, Lord Yan stood up and accused the Town Magic Division of not following the law and being lawless. Regarding this matter, he argued with the official in the court."
"Although this is consistent with Yanchang's tough character, it is not consistent with his low-key character."
"So, it's a bit difficult for me to determine who it is."
The corner of Lu Ning's mouth slightly raised: "My lord, don't worry, just send someone to watch the two of you. You can always find out some secrets."
Gu Fengtang nodded and said: "What you said is not bad."
"There is one more thing, you should pay attention to it secretly."
Lu Ning asked curiously, "My lord, what's the matter?"
Gu Fengtang stared at the outside of the hall with deep eyebrows: "There is Qin Zhong's traitor in the Zhenma Division, find him out as soon as possible."
Lu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, and only after he asked clearly did he know that Qin Zhong actually got the news of Zhou Huan's death?
"The subordinates are secretly watching."
Then Lu Ning resigned, turned around and went to the black prison.
Gu Wushuang, Pei Tianbei, and Sheng Xuan did not rest all night, and interrogated Cao Dachun overnight, writing a full fifty pages of confession alone.
"My lord, almost, Cao Dachun has nothing to explain." Gu Wushuang said a little tired.
Lu Ning nodded, took the confession file and said: "Go and rest, call He Donglai."
"It's an adult!"
Gu Wushuang and the three took others to rest.
Lu Ning was sitting in the dark cell, watching Cao Dachun's confession. The content of the confession was similar to that of Liu Jin and others, but more detailed.
Cao Dachun's confession of his crimes was not because he was a confidant of the prince who failed to fight for the throne, but because he was forced to leave the palace by Cheng Xuansi, which ruined his life, which became the grief of Cao Dachun's life.
He just wanted to bring down the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't mention Mr. Jinlin, he just said that he supported King Yongshan in his heart, but King Yongshan was useless at all.
Even if the King of Yongshan was given a chance, he couldn't grasp it.
He explained how he made a deal with the Scorpio Demon, how he obtained the blood poison, and finally how he poisoned Prince Yong'an without anyone noticing it.
Indeed, as Lu Ning guessed, Cao Dachun did not directly poison Prince Yong'an.
Because it is easy to be detected that way, but the blood and poison are reconciled as fertilizer, and given to cherry trees and linden trees, so that the fruits they bear bear insignificant toxins.
Eating less is fine, but eating too much will make your body worse.
Cao Dachun also confessed that the blood poison in Prince Yong'an is not a kind of blood poison, but there should be poison, saying that it is Qin Zhong's Shayueyehua.
But Cao Dachun had no evidence, he just suspected that Qin Zhong bribed the court ladies and eunuchs to poison Prince Yong'an.
In addition, Cao Dachun also confessed that King Yongshan had a rebellious heart, and even King Yongshan even made the dragon robe.
"Lu Chang'an, Prince Yong'an, our family did not kill each other alone, and our family has also explained everything that should be explained. Can we spend the rest of our lives in the sky prison?"
Lu Ning flashed his cold eyes and asked, "Do you know Han Li?"
"Han Li?"
Cao Dachun frowned, and said: "Isn't he the left servant of the Ministry of War now? Why do you ask our family?"
Lu Ning said: "I don't like nonsense, what do you think of Han Li?"
Cao Dachun shook his head: "Our family has nothing to do with him, so it's not very clear."
Lu Ning's eyes flashed: "What about Duke Yan?"
Cao Dachun's old eyes flashed: "Yanchang? He is a heavy-hearted person. He controls the Dragonrider. He is also very low-key. It is difficult to catch him unless someone is sent to watch him every day."
Lu Ning nodded secretly, not long after, He Dong came with someone.
"grown ups."
"Take Cao Dachun to the sky prison and put him on the third floor."
Lu Ning got up and said.
"It's an adult."
He Dong nodded, and immediately sent people to escort Cao Dachun to the prison.
Lu Ning also followed to avoid accidents.
Seeing Cao Dachun locked up in the cell on the third floor of the Heavenly Prison, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Mo glanced at Eunuch Cao, shook his head and said, "This old bastard is still alive today, what a retribution!"
……
In a blink of an eye, March [-]th.
Experience: 2715 million points.
After Lu Ning glanced at the catalog, he didn't have any experience.
When he came to Beizhengsi, he found that Wang Ding, who had gone to Feng'an County in Yunzhou, had returned.
Lu Ning slightly lowered his eyebrows and said, "Have you caught Deng Yan?"
Wang Ding nodded and said: "Return to your lord, if you catch him, you will be put in a dark prison."
Lu Ning was a little surprised. Normally speaking, if Deng Yan had a problem, even if Wang Ding went to Deng Yan's hometown, he would be in vain.
"What was he doing when you caught him?"
"To bury his old mother, we gave him a day. After burying his old mother, he obediently came back with us."
"..."
Lu Ning was a little stunned, it seemed like a coincidence.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Let him go."
Wang Ding was a little stunned: "My lord, don't you want to interrogate?"
Lu Ning shook his head: "There is no need to interrogate."
Wang Ding nodded, and immediately released Deng Yan.
In the main hall, Lu Ning looked at Gu Wushuang and said, "You were asked to check the second floor of the dungeon and the food delivery person, how did you check?"
Gu Wushuang frowned and said: "There is no result, everyone seems to be normal."
Lu Ning said coldly: "That's weird, is it Wenren Tang who was helped by ghosts?"
As soon as the voice fell, a hundred households walked in quickly from outside: "See Mr. Lu, Mr. Sizheng asked his subordinates to tell you that the man who heard about it has made a move."
Hearing this, Lu Ning's eyes lit up, and Gu Wushuang and the others were also surprised.
So what about the former Great Elder of the Overlord Sect, he couldn't bear Master Lu's method of torture.
For a moment, everyone looked at Lu Ning with a hint of fear.
In a dark prison.
When Lu Ning came with someone, Chen Hu laughed triumphantly: "Deputy Lu, your punishment of cutting flesh is really severe. Chen just cut him for seven days, and he can't bear it."
Lu Ning smiled, walked to the prison and saw that Wen Rentang's left and right pectoral muscles were flattened, and the ribs on both sides were shaved so that the bones were exposed, and a beating heart could be seen.
Taking a look, Lu Ning's eyes flickered slightly, this Chen Hu really knows how to cut flesh.
He just proposed a method, he didn't expect to cut it so seriously.
The key point is that Wenren Tang's mouth is really hard, and he couldn't hold it in the end.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lu Ning looked at Gu Fengtang and gave a slight salute: "My lord."
Gu Fengtang looked away from the file, nodded to Lu Ning and said: "The criminal law is good, it has been filed."
When the confession that was about to be read was provided to Lu Ning, he continued to look down at the rest of the confession.
Lu Ning took a closer look, and Wen Rentang admitted that he was the one who attacked Emperor Ming Wu the night before the Battle of Yunlu, severely injured Gu Fengtang, and damaged Emperor Ming Wu's life, making it difficult to have children.
The person behind the scenes made Lu Ning's eyes condense.
This person turned out to be Emperor Ming Wu's half-brother, the sixth prince Zhou Huaihao, who is now King Yongshan.
Wenren Tang, who was invited by King Yongshan, originally wanted to kill Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty.
But the people from the Zhenma Division stepped forward one by one, fearless of death, and finally waited for Pei Tong and Kou Shize, and a 30 army surrounded Wenren Tang.
Even if Wenren Tang Sanpin is strong, it is impossible to kill all 30 troops, and he will be exhausted to death.
Seeing that it was hopeless to kill the third prince, Wen Rentang fled and went to return to the sixth prince.
Hearing that the third prince was not dead, the sixth prince was very angry. After all, this was a good opportunity to kill the third prince.
If you miss it, it may be difficult to find opportunities in the future.
Then he ordered Wen Rentang to go back and kill the third prince again.
But outside of the third prince's tent, the defense became tighter.
Wen Rentang did not complete the task, and was ridiculed by the sixth prince when he returned, and returned to the Bazong in a fit of anger, and began to act in a low-key manner.
After Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, he had always been brooding about the assassination of Wenren Tang, especially after Prince Yong'an was killed, he had difficulty in bearing children, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
Let Gu Fengtang secretly investigate the overlord's people.
In the end, Wenren Tang was targeted, but there was not enough evidence to prove that it was Wenren Tang who did it back then.
Therefore, he was hanging all the time, and Wen Rentang was not arrested.
Until 20 years ago, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty couldn't bear it, and regardless of the legal system, he asked Gu Fengtang to lead someone to arrest Wenren Tang.
Wen Rentang knew in his heart that Zhenmagus had no evidence, even if he was arrested, he would not be able to find out the result, and he would have to be released sooner or later.
Who knew that this detention lasted for 20 years.
Later, Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty heard that Empress Yuanning was pregnant, so he locked up Wenren Tang without interrogation.
Seeing this, there is no more text.
Lu Ning looked at the confession in Gu Fengtang's hand. It happened that Gu Fengtang read the rest of the part, raised his head and handed the confession to Lu Ning.
He got up and stood in front of the prison, staring coldly at Wenren Tang with his hands behind his back: "Before you joined the Overlord Sect, you were a disciple of Wuxiang Sect, right?"
A look of surprise flashed in Wen Rentang's eyes: "As expected of you, Gu Fengtang."
Gu Fengtang slowly clenched his palms: "Wuxiangmen is a sect that has been extinct in the world for a hundred years. I didn't expect you to be the successor."
Back then, Wenren Tang used the Wuxiang Sect's Little Wuxiang Palm, which was extremely powerful and caused great damage to human body functions.
In fact, Gu Fengtang was more seriously injured than Emperor Ming Wu at that time, but he didn't hurt his lifeblood. Even so, it still caused his progress in cultivation to be slow for decades.
In the prison, Wen Rentang sneered twice, but did not speak again.
Gu Fengtang didn't say anything, turned his head and said: "Chen Hu, Zhang Chong."
"Subordinates are here."
"Take it to the third floor of the dungeon, and close it first."
"It's an adult."
Chen and Hu personally escorted Wenren Tang to the prison, accompanied by thousands of households.
At this time, Lu Ning also read the rest of the statement.
Wen Rentang did not explain who helped him escape from the prison, which made Lu Ning frown.
But this time, Wenren Tang was imprisoned on the third floor of the prison, so there shouldn't be any problems with Mr. Mo guarding him.
Lu Ning sorted out the confession and handed it to Gu Fengtang.
Gu Fengtang went to the palace with his confession.
……
There are three floors of the prison.
After Chen Hu and Zhang Chong imprisoned Wenren Tang in Cell No. 30, they told Mr. Mo to take him away.
Mo Lao's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked slowly towards cell No. 30.
For a moment, he stood in front of the cell, looking at Wen Rentang who was covered in blood in the cell.
Wenren Tang also stared at Mo Lao coldly, with a complex look in his eyes.
After a long time.
Then Mo Laocai said coldly: "It's really useless, if you give you a chance, you won't be able to escape Jingzhou."
