Yu Zhi smiled inwardly, after waiting for so many days, the "evidence" finally arrived.
The "evidence" came from the north, and it was evidence that Zhao Jie deserved his crime and deserved to die.
On the day when Yu Zhi was imprisoned, Yu Zhi asked Qiu Ruoruo to write a letter to Beiliang Mansion. At this moment, only Prince Xiao Jingyao, who is far away in Beiliang Mansion, can save Yu Zhi.
Han Yang's eyes passed through the crowd and landed on the girl in the yellow dress.
Han Yang stayed in Dali Temple all year round and knew the reputations of those boys and girls in Kyoto, but he had never seen them.
When he met Qiu Ruoruo, Han Yang didn't know who the girl in the yellow skirt was.
Jiang Qing said in Han Yang's ear: "This is the granddaughter of Mrs. Qiu, Qiu Ruoruo."
When Han Yang looked at Qiu Ruoruo again, there were a few different emotions in his eyes.
During the time when Yu Zhi was in prison, Han Yang began to investigate the details of Yu Zhi.
Life experience, relatives and friends, family members, life... were all placed on Han Yang's table one by one, so Han Yang also knew many secrets that were not secrets. Among them is the relationship between Yu Zhi and the Qiu family.
Qiu Jinfeng's only granddaughter is his best friend.
How friendly is this?
It is not difficult to see from the traceable deeds in the past that Qiu Ruoruo regards Yu Zhi as her biological brother.
Ye Qinghuan, who is at the top of the Qingyun Examination Ranking, Qiu Ruoruo, who is known as a talented girl in Kyoto... Why are these two people who are so outstanding in the Chu Dynasty willing to make friends with them?
Han Yang became more and more interested in Yu Zhi.
To understand a person should not be based on his family background, but should be based on the friends around him.
A person cannot choose his family background, but the friends he makes are chosen by each other.
This is why birds of a feather flock together and people flock together.
Back then, Yu Zhi was still ashamed of asking. Back then, Ye Qinghuan and Qiu Ruoruo were the most prestigious young men in Kyoto!
"Bring the people up!"
The yamen officer let her go, and Qiu Ruoruoshi stepped into the courtroom, with another person following behind her.
The man was tall, with slightly messy long hair, and a travel-stained look. He had obviously been traveling for a long time.
"The civilian girl Qiu Ruoruo has met all of you."
"The last general, the deputy general of the Northern Territory Army, Yuan Hongxin, has met all of you."
Qiu Ruoruo's appearance was still expected by everyone, but why did Yuan Hongxin, who was stationed in the north, appear here?
The officers and soldiers of the Northern Territory Army returned to Beijing privately, which was a serious crime of beheading.
But Yuan Hongxin has already appeared here.
Han Yang said again: "You two know the rules of the three-level trial. If you give false testimony or perjury, you will be punished with the same crime as ordinary people."
Qiu Ruoruo took a step forward, presented the letter with both hands, and said, "Master Han, this letter is from Beiliang Mansion. You will know the authenticity at a glance."
As the letter was presented, Yu Zhi looked at Zhao Kai and saw the confused look on his face. He knew that Zhao Kai did not know what Zhao Jie was doing in Beiliang Mansion.
Yu Zhi said to Yuan Hongxin: "General Yuan, tell Mr. Zhao whether his son Zhao Jie should die!"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, and a bad feeling emerged in his heart.
Not only Zhao Kai, but also all the officials in the court had a strange feeling, as if Yu Zhi had been controlling the rhythm of this three-division trial.
From summoning Fu Taining to the court, to admitting to killing Zhao Jie, to the three doubts raised by Yu Zhi, to the "evidence" that Yu Zhi has been waiting for now, everyone followed Yu Zhi's story and watched Yu Zhi turn things around.
Yuan Hongxin came from the north and traveled day and night before he arrived in Kyoto.
This is the prince's order, and it is also Xu Qing's order. It is also an opportunity for him to make meritorious deeds.
At the beginning, Xu Qing gave him a chance to return to the Northern Territory Army with Zhao Jie's head. It's a pity that he let Zhao Jie escape.
Now, the opportunity is before him again, and he knows that he must not let Xu Qing down this time.
"The general has an old relationship with Mr. Zhao Kai, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. A few months ago, Mr. Zhao's son Zhao Jie came to the Northern Border Army to find the general. He asked the general to lead his troops to besiege a family in Beiliang Mansion in order to kidnap a woman. Used as a hostage to threaten Yu Zhi..."
Yuan Hongxin narrated that that night, not only Yuan Hongxin but also Wang Xiao, both of them listened to Zhao Jie's instigation and besieged that small courtyard.
Yu Zhi knew that the big deal had been decided, so he turned around and looked for something in the crowd outside the courtroom.
He saw Li Wantong and Yu Lan and showed a bright smile to them. But because he hadn't combed his hair for several days, his unkempt appearance made his bright smile look a little sad.
Yu Zhi saw another person who made him feel sick to his stomach - Xiang Jinghao.
This nuisance is everywhere!
After Han Yang read the letter, he felt much clearer and thought to himself: No wonder this kid is so confident in prison. He must have anticipated today's situation.
He handed the letter to Jiang Qing and said, "Today's matter should be concluded."
...
...
In the imperial garden of the imperial palace, the eunuch once again informed the Emperor of Chu of what was happening in Dali Temple.
But this time, the eunuch also carried a memorial in his hand. This memorial also came from the far north and was expedited for 800 miles.
After Xiao Yuande listened to the eunuch's story, he looked at the memorial in his hand. The seal on the memorial indicates the identity of the owner of the memorial.
Xiao Yuande suddenly smiled and said to the queen: "It seems that Yao'er thinks highly of this boy. He even rushed 800 miles to send the memorial back from the north."
The Queen was surprised and said: "Is it that Yu Zhi? In recent days, that murder case has caused a lot of trouble in the city. I also heard a lot about it in the harem. For some reason, that girl in Chuchen also said a lot of good things about Yu Zhi."
Xiao Yuande took a look at the memorial. There wasn't much written on it, but it was written in detail. It probably means the same thing. Yu Zhi is a good person, and he also reported Yuan Hongxin's unauthorized visit to Beijing.
"Yu Zhi's case should have been concluded. I just don't know how Han Yang can find out the truth in this case."
Xiao Yuande's eyes were sharp and cold. The Chu court needed to be cleaned, but someone took action first, and Xiao Yuande was willing to use this excuse to trample those moths to death.
Yu Zhi was heading towards Nanzhou Prefecture's knife, but someone wanted to test the sharpness of this knife in Kyoto first.
Xiao Yuande couldn't help but laugh out loud. This Yu Zhi is really my lucky star.
"Go tell Han Yang and investigate thoroughly!"
The banditry in Nanzhou Prefecture has been going on for several months. The mountains and rivers there have always been dangerous and strange. People who hide in the mountains cannot find them.
It is really incredible that tens of thousands of troops failed to suppress the bandits.
While military expenditures from the DPRK were shipped to Nanzhou Prefecture one after another, the list of dead and injured soldiers continued to increase.
Only then did Xiao Yuande realize that more than ten cities in Nanzhou Prefecture were in Xiang Ji's hands. Xiang Ji got wind when he wanted, rain got rain when he wanted, even banditry that had never appeared before appeared.
"I don’t know how long it will take Xiang Ji to come out after he enters Gutian Tower. It is said that there is an opportunity to enter the tenth-level Grandmaster realm hidden in Gutian Tower. If Xiang Ji becomes a Grandmaster... the military power of Nanzhou Prefecture cannot stay In Xiang Ji’s hands.”
...
...
Yuan Hongxin recounted what happened that night word for word, including Wang Xiao and Prince Xiao Jingyao.
"The general is stupid and deceived by Zhao Jie's words, betraying the trust of Marshal Xu Qing. This trip is based on the orders of the Crown Prince and Marshal Xu to report Zhao Jie's actions to the Third Division. Please enforce the law impartially."
Zhao Kai's face was ashen. Zhao Kai didn't know these things.
And these things combined are enough to make Zhao Jie die many times.
"Impossible. There is no way my son would do such a thing. It must be a frame-up. Yuan Hongxin, you and I have known each other for many years, why would you frame my son like this."
Yuan Hongxin had no affection for Zhao Kai at all. If it weren't for Zhao Jie, he would still be the deputy general of the Northern Army. Why would he need to be so worried every day?
In the Northern Army, Yuan Hongxin had lost face. Even his former subordinates all shook their heads and sighed.
The Northern Army has the highest military discipline and strict discipline.
For decades, the Northern Territory Army guarded the northern border, resisted foreign enemies externally, maintained public order internally, and was loved by the people. It was only through long-term service that it gained its reputation.
Reputation does not accumulate overnight, but it only takes a few days to destroy it.
Yuan Hongxin said: "Master Zhao, this matter is not my word. All the soldiers of the Northern Army can vouch for me. In addition, this is a letter from Zhao Jie to me. Master Zhao can see if it is Zhao Jie's handwriting. "
Immediately, Yuan Hongxin took out the letter from his arms and threw it in front of Zhao Kai.
The jury officials all watched this scene, knowing that the case had been concluded. To put it more seriously, Zhao Jie colluded with Yuan Hongxin, the deputy general of the Northern Territory Army, to disrupt the peace of the Northern Territory.
To put it mildly, the two of them intended to rob the people of Beiliang City, which was no different from bandits.
Knowing the law and breaking the law will result in an additional penalty.
It is already a serious crime to mobilize the Northern Army without permission, and it is a crime to be executed on the spot.
Standing outside the courtroom, Xiang Jinghao never thought that Yu Zhi still had such a trick in mind.
According to what Zhao Jie did in the north, this man's death was in vain.
I only heard Yu Zhi say: "My lords, what Zhao Jie wanted to abduct in Beiliang City was my unmarried wife. He had evil intentions towards the family members of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I think there should be no problem if I kill her." Bar."
Qian Fangyuan looked at the letter in his hand, which was stamped with the private seals of Crown Prince Xiao Jingyao and Northern Territory Army Commander Xu Qing. This is obviously to protect Yu Zhi.
Qian Fangyuan hurriedly wiped the sweat from his face. In front of the prince and Xu Qing, what did he, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, mean to him? Even with Prime Minister Li Xiuyuan's instructions, he would not dare to go against these two people.
Jiang Qingxun glanced at Qian Fangyuan and said, "Sir Qian, I think this case can be closed."
Qian Fangyuan came to his senses and responded hurriedly: "Of course, everything is subject to Master Jiang and Master Han. I...I have no objection."
The letters between Prince Xiao Jingyao and Northern Border Army Xu Qing, and Yuan Hongxin's confession identified Zhao Jie as a criminal who had committed the crime of beheading.
Yu Zhi knew there was nothing wrong in avenging his unmarried wife.
The only mistake might be to kill someone without permission.
I don't care about that now. Colluding with the deputy general of the Northern Territory Army, it would be fine if they just kidnapped civilian girls, but they really had other agendas. Even his Zhao Kai clan will be wiped out.
Han Yang looked at the young man and had other doubts in his mind. For example, the government servant who wanted to assassinate Yu Zhi that night, such as the second and third doubts raised by Yu Zhi. Why did Zhao Jie's body appear on Yu Zhi's carriage, and why did the bodies of those masked killers disappear?
There is a letter from the prince and Xu Qing, and Yu Zhi is not guilty of killing Zhao Jie. So Yu Zhi had no reason to lie.
Han Yang felt a conspiratorial hand closing continuously. Fortunately, Yu Zhi's "evidence" came in time.
boom!
Han Yang's gavel fell.
"I declare that Yu Zhi is not guilty!"
It's really concise and concise, without any explanation. Because that letter and Yuan Hongxin are the best explanations.
