Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 102

"Seventh, the scroll of the layout of the secret roads of King Zhao's Mansion."

"VIII. The former palace ban commander, the former imperial bodyguard president to lead Dong Chengjia's widow's testimony and physical evidence."

"[-]. Testimonies of the bearers in Zhaowang's Mansion that night (only one bearer survived by chance)."

"Ten. Jiang Hua, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, testimonial volume."

Qin Changge uttered the last sentence forcefully and slowly, almost like a nail nailed into the air of the hall where everyone's hearts were chilled by her detailed and complete list, and it was so silent. There is a sound of wind and thunder in the hidden words, and every word seems to be able to splash sparks - some people were shocked by the murderous tone, and even shook their heads dizzily, thinking of the hard tone just now, which meant a clear statement. The content lost its charm for a while.

This woman actually obtained such detailed evidence. The interlocking evidence came from an ambush on all sides, and she was besieged everywhere without leaving any corners. Everyone felt that she was going to prove King Zhao to death. !

But even so, I never thought that this woman would have such a trump card!

How could Jiang Hua be able to testify for her!

Qin Changge looked up at the dome of 48 dragons, and sneered slightly. This is the advantage of being an imperial merchant. Regardless of his status, his influence penetrated almost all the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles in Yingdu. Under the management of Huangmeng with ulterior motives, it is not difficult to want anything.

Xiao Chen will be able to silence everything, but after he found that line of writing on the wall of Zhao Wangfu's study, he gave an order and mobilized all the power of the Phoenix Alliance to collect evidence. As long as he has the heart, there is nothing in this world. Things that can’t be done, for example, one of the four coachmen should have died under the poison of "Biluofang", but he had a heart disease, and not long before the accident, he entrusted someone to buy some with the money he had saved for many years. Su Hexiang—that thing happened to be incompatible with Bi Luofang, so he didn't die—and the acquaintance he entrusted was a subordinate of the Huangmeng branch who often provided high-quality fragrance powder to Zhao Wangfu——Tianwang Huihui, There is a divine will in the dark.

Meng Tingyuan is a great Confucian in Yingdu, and his influence is extremely huge, and Lao Meng is cunning, and he probably reached an agreement with Xiao Chen in advance, so Xiao Chen did not touch him, and those scholars who gathered at the banquet did not know the inside story, so killing him would be conspicuous , They all stayed alive, and now Qin Changge just wants them to confirm that there was indeed a banquet that night, and that King Zhao did leave halfway.

And Jiang Hua...it was an accident.

Since this guy's precious son gave the emperor the drug () that day, he heard that the memorial to his impeachment was handed over to the imperial court like flakes. Counting the crimes, the whole family died ten times. He probably panicked and ran to Zhao The palace begged to see King Zhao, and King Zhao received him in the study. The two talked for an hour, and then they broke up—this was the result of Huangmeng's efforts to inquire.

Jiang Hua returned home in dismay, and was stopped by Qi Fan on the way-there is no need to elaborate on the following things, in short, it is just a classic strategy of all kinds of seductive rebellion such as intimidation and profit.

All these actions and arrangements have been carried out in secret. Qin Changge kept silent, just waiting for the best opportunity, waiting for the most powerful testimony that can only be spoken to one person, waiting for a person who has been suppressed for a long time The burst of speech after the silence - Empress Dowager Jiang.

This is a game she has spent a long time arranging, in order to get the Empress Dowager Jiang into the trap, she did not hesitate to drag people into the water around the corner, and did not hesitate to wait from autumn to winter.

A purple jade Avalokitesvara was enshrined in the small Buddhist hall of Empress Dowager Shangjiang as a birthday gift. Except for a few people who handled the matter, even Wen Chang, who personally gave the birthday gift, did not know that this purple jade Avalokitesvara was Avalokitesvara, but it was not. It was carved by Zhongchuan Master Li Nanke's secretive stunt, "image within image".

Li Nanke was born with visions, and his eyes had strange diseases, so that he saw double shadows when looking at everything. This man was determined, and he was a strong character who did not believe in fate. An outstanding sculptor, after he became famous, he felt that it was difficult to improve his sculpture skills, and he hated his own chronic illness, so he had an idea and began to study the "double image" technique, that is, due to the difference in light, angle, and texture, The image is hidden in the image, which makes the statue show a different appearance.

At the age of 70, Li Nanke achieved some success in this skill. At the age of 78, he could display three shadows in one image. Because this skill was related to his unknown disability, he kept it secret and only passed it on to his elder brother. Disciple, and has never shown such a stunt in front of outsiders.

Li Nanke's eldest disciple was originally a member of the Phoenix League branch.

One image is double-sided, but in fact two faces are carved. The hands and feet are made in the purple jade Guanyin. After celebrating his birthday, Qin Changge has been instructing Wenchang to win over Tong Shun at all times. When the incident happened, Tong Shun moved the angle of the statue slightly when the Queen Mother worshiped the Buddha.

Canaan incense is an inch of fragrance and an inch of gold, which has the function of soothing and intoxicating.

In the curl of the cigarette, the purple jade Guanyin with a different angle, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, has turned into the face of the dead woman that is deeply rooted in the hearts of others.

People who have ghosts in their hearts are easily lured out of their inner ghosts.

The timing of Tong Shun's report was so accurate.

Outside the curtain, Xiao Jue, who had heard the empress dowager's delirium with his own ears, couldn't even pretend to be deaf. He was already suspicious because of reading the case files, but Qin Changge just added fuel to the fire.

So because Xiao Chen has always performed well, the strong and solid wall of trust in Xiao Chen that has been formed for a long time was shattered in an instant.

Qin Changge, who knew Xiao Jue very well, forced him to go to court to try the case, and under the eyes of everyone, Xiao Chen was caught off guard.

With a faint smile like the morning dew, Qin Changge glanced at Xiao Chen amidst the whispers of the officials. He tilted his head to listen, with a calm expression, still the same expression of light clouds and sparse moon. Seeing her, he tilted his head. glance.

Posture...contemptuous.

Qin Changge pursed his lips, raised his eyebrows, and smiled, turning his eyes back without thinking at all, looking at Xiao Jue above with a gloomy expression.

There are many people here, flustered and flustered. They are dizzy because of today's bombs blowing up one after another. They can't distinguish the inner and outer joints. Only the three people involved remained calm and sober. Xiao Jue sneered first, With a swipe of his hand, he spread out a large stack of testimonies, and said, "You claimed thirteen volumes of testimony, why did you only report ten volumes? There are still three volumes left?"

This is what I was waiting for.

Call you... contempt?
"Your Majesty," Qin Changge pointed, casually but with certainty, "There are still three volumes in your hands."

From the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Chen's figure, which seemed to flicker slightly.

Qin Changge's smile slowly opened, as cold as ice and snow, he kowtowed slowly, and said word by word: "There are three more volumes, which are sealed in the Royal Golden Chamber, and no one has the right to retrieve them except your majesty. : Inner Palace guards' deployment and transfer records, the list of the guard leaders who were on duty that day, and the records signed by His Royal Highness Zhao Wang and the former commander."

"Volume No. 11, at the end of February in the third year of Tianbi, the record of the transfer and transfer of the guards in the inner palace."

"Volume No. 12, at the end of February in the third year of Tianbi, the list of the chief guards on duty that day."

"Volume No. 13, handover records signed by Zhao Wangchen and Dong Chengjia at the end of February in the third year of Tianbi."

"And," Qin Changge glanced sideways at Xiao Chen, implying, "These three volumes are in the hands of His Majesty."

Intentional, heavy repetition and emphasis can be extremely stressful.

In the condensed and chilling atmosphere that was shocked, Qin Changge raised his head and stared at Xiao Jue.

This is a silent battlefield, fighting without blood, neither you nor me can be tender, can't you?I'll help you.

"Your Majesty, please uphold justice and help me complete the testimony."

Xiao Jue sat stiffly on the throne, staring at Qin Changge... who are you... who are you...

your style...

You, a woman who is as weak as a floating weed, why do you act murderously in a dark way, and your words are so sharp that they are as sharp as the edge of a famous sword?

Why did he choose to open it in court and show his distrust to the public naked and bloody?Show it in front of Ah Chen?

Ah Chen...he must be seriously injured.

At this moment, his emotions are complicated... If Ah Chen is guilty, he will take revenge, but he is unwilling to cut his weak younger brother so directly and face-to-face with the blade of isolation and suspicion before the verdict is handed down.

There is a difference in the meaning and harm caused by a fair judgment after the conviction is proven, and early suspicion before the first prosecution.

What would the sensitive and delicate Ah Chen think?
Qin Changge lowered his eyelashes... You must be wondering what I want, you don't know yet.

Things...how could it be so simple?

What's more, there is no need to be compassionate in defeating an opponent. If I treat the enemy with warmth like a spring breeze, I am afraid that my end will be as cold as frost.

I still remember your sentence "If the people falsely accuse the royal family, can we know the consequences?"

How can I get the result I want without being pushed to a certain point?
When things got to this point, the officials were silent.

Anyone can see the weird atmosphere at this moment—the sufferer with a meaningful smile, the defendant who has been calm and calm but suddenly pale as if he has been hit by a heavy blow, and, sitting on the throne, his face is livid, and his eyes are surging like waves of hatred. Feeling resentful, startled, and suspicious, Your Majesty the Emperor.

This is not an ordinary murder case, nor is it an ordinary victim and defendant, if you want to survive, shut up.

After a while, Xiao Jue said shyly, "Okay, but I hope you can prove King Zhao's crime with this."

With a gesture of his hand, Yu Hai entered the side hall knowingly to get the three pieces of evidence.

Seeing this scene, all the officials really wanted to buy a lock, and lock their mouths tightly.

He didn't even dare to exclaim this time.

The thirteen volumes of evidence were all laid out on the Long case, Xiao Jue didn't look at Xiao Chen, but only stared at Qin Changge, and said, "Announce the witness."

"My lord is holy." Qin Changge smiled and turned around to signal.

Those who had already been waiting in the side hall were introduced one by one by the servants, including Meng Tingyuan, the scholars at the banquet, various witnesses of the Zhao family, and Dong Chengjia's widow.The last one to appear was Jiang Hua.
