Chapter 176 Conspiracy

"What? Who said that? Who dares to slander me like this?" Lord Zhen swept all the files on the table, blew his beard and stared, gritted his teeth, and his face was flushed, obviously out of anger. It's not easy.

The master is also worried: "This... this little one doesn't know, so I said... that the person who came to the hearing that day said it first, and then I don't know who caught the clues, so I said it was you, my lord." I couldn't find the murderer, so I tortured and tortured a good official into a murderer. I also said..."

Master Zhen was so angry that his chest heaved up and down: "What else?"

Master: "You also said, sir, that you are dissatisfied with these cases because Master Yu suppressed you, so you are dissatisfied. The people who came that day said that Master Yu was beaten by you, leaving nothing but breath. Well, maybe what's going on now? There are even people who have sorted out all the cases Mr. Yu has solved in the past six months, so it doesn't matter..."

Master Zhen was too angry to speak, but just looked at the other party coldly: "..."

The master had no choice but to continue to say: "After such a list, Master Yu has really handled a lot of cases. I believe you know a few of them, and they are very famous...Although everyone doesn't talk about it now, the voice of doubt is getting louder. More and more..."

Lord Zhen sneered: "The emperor has already sentenced him to beheaded after ten days, don't they believe what the emperor said?"

Master shook his head, because it was judged by the emperor, so the people did not dare to say it publicly, but this case was tried by the adults, so there were rumors in the market that the emperor was confused by Lord Zhen, and Lord Zhen slandered the officials of the court. Master Zhen did not dare to say anything about being punishable, for fear that Master Zhen would be pissed off directly.

Master Zhen took a deep breath: "..." He was so angry that he had no energy left.

Obviously Yu Xiaochu admitted it herself, she is not guilty, what did she admit to?
The master was also apprehensive about being told that the three of them became a tiger, and he still has some doubts. Could it be that they were too arbitrary?

It's just that seeing is believing. They did see Mr. Yu appear at the scene of the crime with their own eyes.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
The master didn't dare to say these things, he looked at Master Zhen's unkind face, and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, don't worry, now the people don't know your good intentions, after Master Yu is executed, after a long time, they will naturally No one will remember."

Master Zhen thought about it too, and his mood improved: "Is there anything else? Go down if you have nothing to do."

The master thought for a while and continued: "My lord, perhaps this word has also reached the ears of the emperor. The emperor sent someone to point out that the emperor knew about this case. It's just that Lord Yu has done a lot of practical things before, so I will reward you." The punishment is clear, saying that if someone comes to visit the prison in the past few days, please don't stop me, as long as the person is not lost."

Master Zhen didn't bother to think about it anymore: "I leave this matter to you, you can figure it out..."

He waved his hand and let the master go out.

It was only after the door of the study room was closed that Mr. Zhen looked at the front blankly. He looked at the files spread out not far away, and couldn't help but panic for no reason. Could it be... that he was really wrong?
No, it's definitely not possible... No matter how you look at this case, Yu Xiaochu is the most suspect. Since there are no other suspects, she must be the murderer!
He was right, he must be right...

But for some reason, the panic in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

It never occurred to Chu Qing that the first person who came to see her was someone from Uncle Liu. The person who came was Fang Zirui, a third-rank official of the imperial court, and he was the servant of the household department. When he came, not only Chu Qing was surprised Yes, even Mr. Zhen probably didn't expect that he personally brought Mr. Fang here.

Master Zhen: "My lord...why did you come here in person? This..."

Mr. Fang: "I heard that the case has been settled, so I came to have a look. Speaking of the cases that Mr. Yu handled earlier, some of them involved the Ministry of Household Affairs. I have long wanted to come and have a look, but I haven't Find the right time, and think about it later, if you don't come here again, I'm afraid... you won't have the chance to see Lord Yu. Don't worry, Lord Zhen, I'm just saying a few words, why, don't you say no Do not worry?"

Lord Zhen quickly waved his hand: "How could this be...then... my lord, please go ahead and prepare some thin wine outside. It's rare for us to see each other, so we will definitely have a drink or two."

Master Fang smiled, didn't say yes, but also didn't say no, Master Zhen didn't dare to say too much, so he quickly stepped back and went to make arrangements on his own.

After Mr. Zhen left, the yamen servants also took him away. For a while, only Chu Qing and Mr. Fang were left in the cell.

Because Chu Qing is a serious criminal, she is the only prisoner in the place of detention. She is calm and calm on weekdays. After getting used to it, it suddenly became lively. Chu Qing felt that she was not used to it. She lay there and raised her head. , Master Fang smiled, his expression was very calm, and there was no sign of decadence and frustration that he was about to go to the execution ground. Although Master Fang was entrusted to come here, seeing Chu Qing's calmness, he really gave birth to a bit of admiration: "Master Yu, this must be the first time we've met."

Chu Qing raised her eyes: "It's indeed the first time I've seen you. I don't know why your lord is here? This cell is very important, so it's not suitable for your lord to come."

Master Fang: "Being entrusted by others is nothing more than a matter of loyalty."

Chu Qing's gaze fell on Mr. Fang, looked him up a few times, and then said with a smile, "Is your lord from Uncle Liu Guo?"

Master Fang raised his eyebrows: "Uncle Guo seems to be right, Master Yu is indeed a wonderful person." He just said a few words, and she guessed who sent her.

"Master Yu, aren't you afraid that this official is someone else who came to test you?"

"I'm just alone now, and I'm going to the execution ground in ten days. What else can I be tempted by you?" Chu Qing didn't have any other expressions on his face.

Mr. Fang said: "At this point, I can still be so calm. I really have never seen another person."

Chu Qing couldn't help laughing: "If you come a few more times, my lord, you will probably be able to meet me."

Master Fang smiled, and began to talk about business: "Uncle Liu Guo is sorry that Master Yu is in prison, but it is really inconvenient for him to take action on this matter, and there is no other way, so Uncle Guo let Ben this time The official came to tell Mr. Yu that it is a pity for Uncle Guo, but there is nothing he can do to help, and I hope Mr. Yu will not blame Uncle Guo."

The corners of Chu Qing's mouth curled up, but he smiled: "I know, but please tell Mr. Fang to Uncle Guo. Uncle Guo's heart is understood. If you can escape this catastrophe by chance, you will definitely get married Huan to repay this kindness of knowledge.”

The two said a few polite words in a polite manner, and since Mr. Fang had brought the words, he left.

Mr. Fang actually didn't quite understand why Uncle Guo took such a fancy to this man, even though he knew that the other party was beyond help, he even wanted to make this trip by himself.

After Mr. Fang left the Ministry of Punishment, he repaired a letter and sent it to the uncle's mansion.

Uncle Liu Guo held the letter and said nothing for a long time: "Oh...it's a pity."

Hearing this, the other confidantes in the study couldn't help but look at each other: "What does Uncle Guo mean by that?"

Liu Guojiu handed the letter paper in his hand to several people, and after passing it on to several people, he said with emotion: "Leaving aside this case, Master Yu's loyalty to Uncle Guo alone is worthy of Uncle Guo's concern, indeed. It's a pity for such a general, but... since the opponent has already been sentenced and will be beheaded in ten days, Uncle Guo doesn't have to go into this muddy water again."

Liu Guojiu shook his head: "Where do you know, with Yu Sheng's talent, if there is no such thing, if it can really be used by us, what we plan will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."

It's just a pity. Originally, he thought, if the other party had other ways to save himself, he could give him a helping hand. When the other party came out, he would definitely be more grateful to himself and would not hesitate to repay him.

But since he couldn't be rescued, he had no choice but to find another plan.

Uncle Liu Guo soon forgot about Chu Qing and moved her to another place, but Chu Qing became busy in the next few days. In addition to Chu Qing's wonderful words that she must come three times a day, some people who were previously favored by her to solve the case also came from time to time. visit.

For a while, there were so many people outside the Ministry of Criminal Justice, which made people feel quite emotional.

This is completely two extremes from what Mr. Zhen expected. It is clear that the case of seven lives, but the case of Yu Xiaochu will definitely be settled like a mouse crossing the street.

But it happened that the other party seemed to be a hero who was wronged and died, and was so grateful, but he, who broke the case, was directly ignored by others.

Zhen Da is angry, but he can't help it, the emperor has already ordered his life.

He rubbed between his brows, thinking that as long as the time passed, after Yu Xiaochu died, everything would be settled.

With such thoughts in mind, Mr. Zhen simply ignored it and just reviewed the files, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, and he always felt that the number of cases in the past few days was obviously much less.

The master opened his mouth at the side and did not dare to say that it was not because there were fewer cases, but that there were obviously fewer people who came to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report cases.

Most of them went to Beizhen Fusi.

And the rumors in the market, because of the bizarre scene in the Ministry of Justice, have become more and more topics of conversation after dinner.

Obviously, it has become a debate about whether Yu Xiaochu is the murderer, and whether Yu Xiaochu will die when he arrives.

Chu Qing has been well-cared for these few days, even if she recovers from her illness, she has gained a lot of weight.

There was some flesh on the thin face, and after changing his appearance, his features were delicate, where did he look down and out?Mr. Zhen went to see it twice, but later he didn't want to.

During the period, Mrs. Liu also asked her maid to deliver meals twice, but she probably didn't deliver any more because she was afraid of getting involved.

Chu Qing searched around, but found nothing.

These people who came here are far from having such a deep hatred with her that they can use this method to lure her into a trap little by little, and then devour her in one fell swoop.

Who is it?
