Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 333 Undercurrent Surging 2
The news that "He Zudao" had to hang silk to diagnose the pulse had to be used by Empress Changsun's old illness, which had already spread throughout Chang'an. Now it was heard that the doctor You Fang who assassinated Cai Shaobing had similar skills, which made the civil and military officials' suspicions about "He Zudao" assassinated Cai Shaobing once again increased.

Seeing that Cai Shaobing caught hold of his words, Ma Zhou cursed inwardly, and then said: "I have met that doctor You Fang before, and it seems that he is not the same person as He Zudao."

After hearing Ma Zhou's words, Li Shimin relaxed his frown a little, "Ma Aiqing, where did you find Mr. You Fang?"

Facing Li Shimin's inquiry, although Ma Zhou knew that there was something wrong with the matter, he couldn't hide it any longer when the matter came to an end, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Long live the Qi report, it was recommended by Guan Mutong to the minister."

When Ma Zhou's words fell, the eldest Sun Wuji, who had been sitting on the sidelines, immediately walked out of the literary class, "Long live Qi, I think Guan Mutong is the No. "

Changsun Wuji's understated tone instantly won the approval of everyone, and those ministers who had nothing to do with Fang Yiai nodded in agreement one by one, and began to express their opinions softly.

"That's right, Guan Mutong is a well-known doctor, even he can't cure the disease, how can the young doctor cure it? Could it be that this person is really worthless?"

"I have long heard that He Zudao's medical skills are outstanding. It is said that his teacher is Sun Simiao. Among the younger generation in Chang'an City, only his medical skills can steadily surpass Guan Mutong, right?"

Seeing that everyone's thoughts were led to "He Zudao" by the elder Sun Wuji, Ma Zhou was very anxious, but he didn't dare to speak rashly when he was in a panic, lest he would be caught by the wolf-hearted Cai Shaobing.

Sitting on the dragon clothes, Li Shimin listened to the whispers of the crowd, and couldn't help but associate the masked gangster who assassinated Cai Shaobing last night with "He Zudao".

"He Zudao's medical skills are obvious to all. Could it be that he really wants to kill people? But according to his martial arts, if he wants to kill Cai Shaobing, I'm afraid he won't be standing in the Hanyuan Palace today, right?"

Just when Li Shimin secretly guessed that his mind was restless, Du Ruhui, who had been silent all the time, saw that Ma Zhou was defeated by Zhangsun Wuji and Cai Shaobing in the tongue debate, so he stepped forward at a critical moment.

Standing beside Ma Zhou with a wat board in hand, Du Ruhui said in a calm tone, "Long live Qi, the young doctor was recommended by Guan Mutong, and Ma Yushi personally went to meet him. There is a loophole."

Hearing Du Ruhui's words, Ma Zhou's heart trembled, he looked sideways at the old prime minister, and thought to himself, "Old prime minister, are you trying to help Fang Jun hide this matter? Do you favor Fang Jun and drag me into the water? I provoke someone!"

Seeing that he was being dragged onto the pirate boat by Du Ruhui, Ma Zhou decided to make a mistake, and echoed, "What Prime Minister Du said is true, the young doctor was greeted by my minister and Guan Mutong together last night, and we stayed with him every step of the way. It's not as Uncle Changsun Guo guessed."

Although Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou are both famous ministers through the ages, they have turned into paper-paper makers. Although they tried their best to conceal Fang Jun's identity, they inevitably tore down the east wall to make up for the west without any preparations. There are some flaws in it .

Changsun Wuji raised his mouth slightly, looked at Ma Zhou and asked, "Oh? Inseparable? How dare you ask Ma Yushi, where did you pick up that young doctor last night?"

Ma Zhou was at a loss for words when asked by Changsun Wuji, and thought, "It's bad! Changsun Wuji's trick is so vicious! If I tell you where to meet the young doctor, he will probably ask Wansui Xuan to come to Guan Mutong for questioning. I didn't think about this before, and I didn't discuss the details, if Guan Mutong came here, it is very likely that he will reveal his secrets!"

Changsun Wuji saw that Ma Zhou was silent, knowing that Ma Zhou was powerless to fight this strategy, he chuckled secretly and hurriedly said, "Could it be that Ma Yushi forgot? House"

The triumphant eldest grandson Wuji, excitedly speaking out of words, actually drew Qin Qiong into this incident.

Qin Qiong saw that Changsun Wuji was implicating himself, and he didn't have a good impression of this uncle of the country. He snorted coldly, strode out of the martial arts class, pointed at Changsun Wuji and said: "Don't you want to spout blood there, why should you say it back?" It’s true that he went to Chang’an, but he didn’t leave the gate of the mansion last night, so why talk about going to prison for treatment? How about killing Cai Shaobing?!”

"Did you share the bed with He Zudao? How can you be sure if he comes out or not? Could it be that you have been guarding the door with him all night?" Changsun Wuji got angry when he saw Qin Qiong, and after saying some sarcastic words, Continued: "Thinking that Xie Zhongju is He Zhudao's schoolboy accompaniment, and the prisoner knows He Zhudao's secrets, he is afraid that his crime will be exposed, so he is afraid of the crime, and ventured to go to the prison in disguise to find out the truth!"

Qin Qiong didn't know the details, and only said that Fang Yiai was recuperating at home and studying books. He was ridiculed by Changsun Wuji, so he naturally wouldn't swallow his anger.

Then, Qin Qiong took a step forward, looked straight at Cai Shaobing and said coldly: "Xie Zhongju has always been in good health, why did he go to the procuratorate for two days and was on the verge of death? It is clear that you deliberately imprisoned him, tortured him to extract a confession, and tortured him to death. Sincerely!"

Cai Shaobing was told by Qin Qiong that the center was empty, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he stood aside and hesitated, "I"

Seeing Qin Qiong who came out halfway, he shifted the focus of the topic to other places in a few words. Ma Zhou was overjoyed, and started to fight back against Changsun Wuji instead.

"Long live the report, yesterday Wei Chen and Prime Minister Du went to the prison to check on the criminal Xie Zhongju, but they happened to bump into uncle Changsun Guo and Song Guogong. I think Song Guogong is the father of Xiao Rui, the victim of this case. He obviously went to the prison Severe torture to extract a confession, beat Xie Zhongju into a trick!"

Xiao Yu was standing on the sidelines watching Du Ruhui and Ma Zhou's predicament, when he suddenly saw Ma Zhou involving himself, he walked out of the class after being told by Ma Zhou that he was in pain, held up the wat board and said: "Long live, old minister I did go to the procuratorate yesterday, but it wasn’t because Ma Yushi said that he was tortured into a trick, but because he wanted to get justice for the child.”

"Seek justice?" Du Ruhui sneered, and murmured, "What kind of justice? Overstep the chief judge and deputy judges and collude with cruel officials to torture and extract a confession in the prison of the procuratorate?"

Changsun Wuji was a little dazed by Qin Qiong's words before, but now seeing Du Ruhui and the two start to fight back, how could he, who had finally found the handle of "He Zudao", sit back and watch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away?

"What is Prime Minister Du talking about? Could it be that I am not the presiding judge of this case?" Changsun Wuji looked at Du Ruhui and continued: "What are you talking about colluding with cruel officials? Cai Shaobing is originally a document of the procuratorate. I and Song Guogong is not familiar with the punishment of interrogating prisoners, so he was ordered to come to assist in the trial!"

After Xiao Yu was rescued by Changsun Wuji, he was unwilling to lose his defense, and said: "Long live Qi, I think Prime Minister Du and He Zudao are teachers and students, and it is inevitable that he will have selfish intentions when he is ordered to try this case. I hope the Long Live Order will send the presiding judge."

Seeing that Xiao Yu brought up his relationship with He Zudao to make a fuss, Du Ruhui followed closely, "I think I was ordered by the king to hear this case, so how could I forget my duty for personal reasons? May I ask how has Song Guogong ever favored He Zudao since I started this case?" feet?"

"You never favored He Zudao? Then why did you stop Prime Minister Changsun from interrogating the criminals yesterday? You obviously wanted to delay the time, and told He Zudao to attend the imperial examination before we can talk about it!"

"Why did I ever have such a plan? If the old man and Ma Yushi didn't stop me yesterday, I'm afraid the criminal Xie Zhongju would have been tortured and killed by Cai Shaobing!"

Du Ruhui and Xiao Yu were arguing fiercely, and Li Shimin, who was sitting in the hall, was not at ease. Watching His Highness walk out of the court class, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Xiao Yu were four important officials of the state. The emperor of the ages, couldn't help but move his little Jiujiu.

"Ma Zhou and He Zudao are congenial, Ruhui and He Zudao are teachers and students, and Wuji is always grabbing He Zudao's tricks. The three of them collided with each other. It would be like fire and water. It would be better to send two more An experienced and upright minister to try this case together?"

After some thought, Li Shimin made up his mind, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Xiao Rui is the widow's virtuous son-in-law, and I am deeply saddened by his death. If this case is not handled strictly, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone." , how about adding two chief judges?"

"Wei Zheng listens to the order!" Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng, and said seriously: "I ordered you to preside over this case and try it with Ruhui and Wuji!"

After appointing Wei Zheng, Li Shimin thought of the upright temper of this "Bronze Mirror", and couldn't help but choose another candidate for the presiding judge in his mind.

In a blink of an eye, he looked at Fang Xuanling, who was at the head of the literary class, and saw that he was silent from the beginning to the end. Li Shimin nodded and smiled, and said, "Xuanling, I order you to be one of the chief judges of this case. You must do your best to bring Xiao Rui to justice." Let’s find out the truth about his death.”
