Lin Heng flipped through the booklet twice, ten lines at a glance.

He originally thought that this grievance was just a formality, but he didn't expect that Yuan Zhenzhu would actually have evidence in his hand.

The booklet looks old, and the inscriptions on it are no longer as bright as they used to be.

She never took this thing out, and presumably she didn't trust herself and Qingqing.Lin Heng paused his fingers slightly, and couldn't help thinking, would Qingqing be unhappy if he knew it?
He handed the booklet to Li Lanyi, "All the officials present should read it."

"Yes." Li Lan took it, stepped off the stage, and presented it to Tao Yushi first.

Tao Yushi frowned, and quickly glanced around, "The seal on it is indeed the official seal of Dali Temple."

The Chancellor of Dali Temple used to buy and sell boys and girls for his own entertainment.How could such a person have such thoughts?Lin Heng's eyes turned to Yuan Zhenzhu.

The woman remained kneeling on the ground with her head lowered so that no one could see her face clearly.

The pamphlet was circulated, and the faces of the officials recorded in it were already very ugly.

After a while, the booklet returned to Li Lan's hands.

"Everyone, Dajin has always paid attention to personal evidence and material evidence, and enforced the law impartially." Liu Shangshu said, "This matter is only Miss Yuan's side story at present. I think it should be investigated again."

"Lord Liu, the facts are already in front of us." Li Lan said with a smile, "The witnesses and physical evidence are all there, so what worries do you have?"

Liu Shangshu pursed his lips, thinking of what happened to Zhao Duofu earlier, he had some doubts in his heart.

Seeing that he did not speak, the other officials also remained silent.

An unconvinced official snorted, "Your Majesty! If you want to overturn the case, just overturn it! Why bother to find someone and get a fake evidence?"

"People struggle to get close to the gate of the imperial city. Now that an orphan of the Yuan family has come, the guards immediately greet him. If it is a coincidence, who will believe it?"

Lin Heng looked over and found that the speakers were all officials recorded in the pamphlet.

According to the pamphlet, they will be charged with "harming Zhongliang".The founding empress hated such nasty things the most, so the corresponding punishment was quite severe.They did not want to be punished, so they fought with their backs to overthrow such statements.

"Your Majesty, I am really Yuan Guogong's daughter!" Yuan Zhenzhu, who heard the meaning behind the words, almost shouted eagerly.Immediately afterwards, she touched her clothes and took out a jade pendant from her bosom, "Father chose a marriage for me back then... This jade pendant was given to me by the mistress of the aristocratic family..."

The jade is crystal clear, and the patterns carved on it are even more meticulously carved. It is a high-quality suet jade.

"I heard that in the early years, the Yuan family and..." Li Lan glanced across a group of officials, "It seems that he was engaged to the Cui family."

"Li Zhangyin really knows everything." An official said sarcastically.

"Slaves are not talented, they like to ask around." Li Lanyi just smiled.

The official suddenly felt like his fist was hitting cotton, limp and weak.

"This matter will be investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Lin Heng said, "If what this girl said is true, I will definitely give the Yuan family justice."

"Yes." Liu Shangshu hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Retire." Lin Heng stood up, glanced at Liu Shangshu, "Master Liu, you come with me."

Liu Shangshu could only keep up.

Out of the main hall, Lin Heng walked in front, and Liu Shangshu followed.There was a distance of two steps between the two, but the atmosphere was extremely awkward.

"Master Liu." Lin Heng spoke first, "I also entrusted you to do what Zhao Duofu did before. You did not disappoint me, and I am very satisfied. But I also know that you have doubts in your heart, right?"

Seeing him speak, Liu Shangshu no longer concealed his intentions, "Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate the case because I never belonged to any power?"

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded.

"And this incident will eventually involve Zhao Duofu's betrayal of King Wen Xiao, is it also your arrangement?"

"No."

"Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate this matter. I believe that Zhao Duofu was wronged, and I want to get rid of his crimes. Just when I was about to succeed, witnesses suddenly appeared, proving that Zhao Duofu was careful." Liu Shangshu calmly After finishing speaking, he looked up at Lin Heng, "Your Majesty, do you think this is a coincidence? Aren't you taking advantage of the minister?"

Taking advantage of him not belonging to any force, finding out the truth is fair and just, so that Zhao Duofu can be imprisoned in a fair and just manner?

Lin Heng looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "I can understand that you have such an idea. But Liu Shangshu, you have to understand that since I am sitting in this position, there is no need to waste such a big setback, just for a little Useless people, laying many traps."

Liu Shangshu was silent.

"Liu Shangshu, you might as well recall the memories." Lin Heng continued, "At that time, who was pushing the flames?"

then……

Li Lanyi?Liu Shangshu first thought of Li Lanyi, but later thought that Zhao Duofu was from King Wenxiao.But Li Lanyi and King Wen Xiao have always been at loggerheads, so his targeting of Zhao Duofu was within his consideration from the very beginning...

and many more!

His eyes suddenly lit up, Cao Da.In the court, his position was very strange...

"Your Majesty, are you really ignorant of this result?" Liu Shangshu confirmed again.

Lin Heng gave a faint "hmm", then waved his hand, "Go down."

From the very beginning, he regarded the person behind the scenes as Lin Heng. Now that Lin Heng talked to him, he finally knew who caused this ending.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Shangshu suddenly took two steps forward, "Then Your Majesty wants Zhao Duofu to die?"

Lin Heng, who was walking in front, paused, and a deep voice reached his ears——

"Never thought of that."

"Yes! Zhao Duofu pleaded guilty now, and he will be executed at noon!"

noon?

……

In the endless streets and alleys, prison cars pass quietly.The man sitting in the cage was ragged and had no good place on his body.Even though there is a noisy market all around, there is no sign of the man opening up.

"What crime did the man commit?"

People around couldn't help asking.

The guards on both sides of the road cast a glance at him and said, "I have committed a serious crime of treason!"

People in twos and threes looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"His Royal Highness the First Crown Prince, who is now enshrined as King Wen Xiao, was the one who killed him." The guard said lightly.

"What? His Highness actually fell in his hands?" Some people couldn't believe it.

"Do you know who he is?" the guard sneered.

The people shook their heads puzzled.

"He is the general next to the first prince. His Highness trusts him and takes him with him when he goes out. Hmph~ who knows, he has completely betrayed his promise."

"It's too much! White-eyed wolf!" Some people were filled with righteous indignation, grabbed the rotten leaves in the vegetable basket and threw them into the cage.

Someone took the lead, and the atmosphere suddenly rose.

Immediately afterwards, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown all over the sky.

"A person as good as His Highness was defeated by such a person!"

"White-eyed wolf!"

"Dogs are more loyal than you!"
