Half an hour later, Han Yang knelt in Chengming Hall and presented his closing statement with both hands.
On both sides of Han Yang, Jiang Qing and Qian Fangyuan were also present.
The final result of the joint trial of the three divisions still had to be submitted to the Emperor of Chu. Han Yang had written his submission, but Jiang Qing did not read it, and Qian Fang originally did not want to read it. Everything is according to Han Yang's wishes.
Xiao Yuande picked up the folder, turned to the last page, glanced at the conclusion, and put the folder aside.
He had already listened to the eunuch's description of the process of the three-division trial, and even said that there was no need to read the excerpt.
"The case has been settled. But what should we do next?" Xiao Yuande asked.
Jiang Qing said nothing, Qian Fangyuan was puzzled.
The case has been closed, is there anything else that needs to be done?
Qian Fangyuan was confused and looked sideways at Han Yang and Jiang Qing.
Han Yang knew clearly in his heart that just as he had expected in Dali Temple, this matter was in deep water and His Majesty wanted to follow the clues and involve other things, so these coincidences were no coincidence.
Whether it is a coincidence or not is not important. What matters is whether His Majesty believes it or not.
Han Yang first read the letter from Qiu Ruoruo. The so-called evidence was shocking, as if another huge stone had been thrown into the turbulent waves in Kyoto, making the waves even more turbulent.
There is no false person under the great reputation.
As expected, this young lady from the Qiu family has taken on the reputation of being the most talented woman in Kyoto.
That letter alone explains a lot. Alert, intelligent, attentive...and ruthless.
Why is he said to be ruthless?
Each stroke on the letter is not only evidence, but also some vicious ways to deal with it.
In front of the emperor, Han Yang seemed to be in a daze, thinking of the calm and calm young man in prison, and of the girl in yellow skirt in the court hall of Dali Temple.
After a long silence, Xiao Yuande saw that no one was speaking, so he said to himself: "Han Yang, can you tell me if there are any doubts about this case?"
Han Yang came to his senses when he heard the sound, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, I do have some doubts."
"You all stand up and speak." Xiao Yuande said.
Han Yang and the other three stood up, only to hear Han Yang continue to say: "Zhao Jie deserves to die, and Yu Zhi is not guilty. This is an explanation to His Majesty. But the fire at Youquan Villa killed dozens of people in the sea of fire, but the murderer has not yet been found. "
"According to Wei Chen's guess, the person behind the scenes used the fire to assassinate Yu Zhi and sent Zhao Jie to Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi was young and frivolous and passionate, so he would not let Zhao Jie go. And Fu Taining happened to be passing by Youquan. Villa, escorted Yu Zhi back to Kyoto."
It just so happens.
When Han Yang said this word, he paused very deliberately. And such deliberateness was telling Xiao Yuande that there was something wrong with Fu Taining.
"Although justice has been done to Yu Zhi, the dozens of people who died in Youquan Villa have yet to be given an explanation to the world."
As Han Yang spoke, he knelt down towards Xiao Yuande and said, "I request you, Han Yang, to thoroughly investigate this case, find the murderer for those dozens of innocent souls, and let the deceased rest in peace."
Seeing this, Jiang Qing also said: "My lord, Jiang Qing, second the proposal!"
Qian Fangyuan said in panic: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Qian Fangyuan, second your proposal!"
The three of them are all good at observing words and emotions, not to mention Xiao Yuande has made it so obvious.
"What to do next?"
The emperor's question cannot be read as a question. If you really thought it was that simple, I'm afraid this head would have moved a long time ago.
Han Yang answered Xiao Yuande's words as he had expected in advance and as Qiu Ruoruo had "arranged" for him.
"In this case, the case will be handed over to Dali Temple. Han Yang, please give me an explanation as soon as possible."
"My lord, take your orders!"
Xiao Yuande glanced at Jiang Qing, then remembered another thing, and said, "Jiang Qing, how should Yu Zhi be rewarded for his merits in investigating the case?"
Regarding this matter, Jiang Qing had confidence in his heart and reported back: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have prepared a memorial to promote Yu Zhi to the position of censor of Youqiandu."
Youqiandu Yushi, this is an official position of the fourth rank. The last censor of Youqiandu was Bai Zishi who colluded with Cangshan. Now that Bai Zishi has been beheaded, this position is naturally vacant.
From the ninth-rank secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the fourth-rank Youqian Du Censor, this was more than three consecutive promotions.
Qian Fangyuan was secretly shocked. This was something that had never happened before, and His Majesty would definitely not agree to it.
Xiao Yuande was silent for a moment and said: "Jiang Qing, do you think Yu Zhi can afford to serve as the censor of Youqiandu?"
Jiang Qing said sternly: "Yu Zhi acted cautiously in Beiliang Mansion and kept his sharp edge. It is not a coincidence that he was able to investigate the unjust case for two years. This person can be of great use."
"If that's the case, then so be it!"
...
...
Early the next morning, Yu Zhi had a good sleep. A war of words is more tiring than a fight. Even if Yu Zhi has the confidence, he still needs to deal with it mentally.
What's more, Yu Zhi has been imprisoned for a long time.
After coming out of Dali Temple, I fell asleep, not even bothering to take care of the mess, and slept until dawn.
"Hey, where are Tong'er and the others?" Yu Zhi had just woken up and had not seen Li Wantong.
Qiu Ruoruo said: "A few days ago, Sister Li and the others went to Linquan Ancient Tree to pray for you, and now they should go to fulfill their wishes."
"Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"
"You don't understand. You have to be more diligent about these things. It will be more convenient next time to ask the gods to do things."
Yu Zhi laughed and said, "Where did you learn these words?"
Qiu Ruoruo looked at Yu Zhi and said slyly: "In the past, didn't you often say that you would rather believe in the existence of gods, Buddhas and immortals than in their non-existence?"
"Did I say this?" Yu Zhi rolled his eyes and denied.
Linquan Ancient Tree is located next to Weiming Lake, and Qingquan Ancient Tree has some legendary color.
Therefore, many people come here to seek marriage, prosperity in officialdom, and fortune in business. Many residences have also been built in the surrounding areas, and you only need to pay some money to stay there for a few days.
Many people often come here to drink tea and drink, taking advantage of the breeze in the forest and the flowing water in the spring, looking for a marriage.
Yu Zhi and Qiu Ruoruo walked on the bluestone road and moved forward slowly. Last winter, Yu Zhi visited Linquan Ancient Tree once and threw the eyesore Guo Songxian into Weiming Lake.
That incident was once spread in Kyoto and became a topic of conversation among everyone.
The summer is hot and there will be many people in the morning and evening. Many people come to pray at the ancient trees in the spring in the morning, rest in the teahouse in the forest during the day, and do not set off home until dusk for the whole day.
Literati and poets often come here, as do girls waiting to be married. The tranquility of the mountains just relieves the boredom in their hearts.
"Brother Xiaoyu, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go over and talk. You go to find Sister Li first." Qiu Ruoruo left alone, leaving Yu Zhi alone.
Yu Zhi waved his hands and opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
The prosperity and tranquility of Kyoto made Yu Zhi relax. In Kyoto, he does not need to worry about the assassination of Mr. San and others. This confidence comes from the fact that this is Kyoto, and it also comes from the fact that he has the realm of the seventh level of Kaibi.
The bluestone road, the wind in the forest, walking through Weiming Lake and entering the mountains, half of the heat has disappeared.
There are many small stalls on both sides of the road, selling melons, selling fans...it's so lively.
Yu Zhi was not in a hurry to look for Li Wantong. He glanced at the ancient tree covered with red ropes from a distance and walked into a teahouse.
The teahouse is made of bamboo, and the air is filled with the fragrance of bamboo. The teahouse draws spring water as tea soup, which is sweet and refreshing. It is the most famous teahouse among the ancient trees in Linquan.
The teahouse's signboard only has the word "teahouse".
Every seat in the teahouse is blocked and well hidden. This is also deliberately designed for those girls who are waiting for marriage, in order to prevent some lustful people from recognizing their identities and trying to climb high with ulterior motives.
Yu Zhi found a seat by the window. Bamboo branches blocked his view on three sides. Looking out the window, he could see the only way to and from the ancient trees in Linquan.
Sitting here, you will naturally not miss Li Wantong and Qiu Ruoruo.
A cup of tea, accompanied by the breeze, is quite pleasant.
When Yu Zhi closed his eyes and enjoyed it, two figures appeared outside the bamboo branches.
This is a lady and a maid. They are all wearing Su embroidery from Nanzhou Prefecture. They are obviously from a wealthy family.
This is none other than Princess Jiang Xiyue and maid Xiaonu of the Chu Palace.
Yesterday, Jiang Xiyue came to Laiquan Ancient Tree to seek a good marriage for Xiang Jinghao, and then lived in a nearby house. I wanted to try the tea here today, but I ran out of space early.
"Madam, there are people here too." The slave said dejectedly, "The business of this tea house is getting better."
Jiang Xiyue said with a little disappointment: "It seems that we can only wait until next time."
Jiang Xiyue doesn't like to go out very much. If it weren't for Xiang Jinghao, she wouldn't come to Quangushu.
Listening to the voice, Yu Zhi felt inexplicably friendly, and couldn't help but said: "If you two don't mind, you can drink tea with me. I'm the only one here."
When Jiang Xiyue heard this, she walked in. "That's it, it's just annoying."
At this moment, Yu Zhi just saw Jiang Xiyue's face clearly. The woman in front of him was not the most beautiful person in the world, but it made Yu Zhi feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before.
There is a beautiful Emeizi, and Hui's voice is clear and gentle.
In terms of gentleness, no one can compare to the woman in front of her. In terms of dignity, no one can match her even the ladies from high-ranking families.
Yu Zhi couldn't look away for a while, and the familiarity and kindness in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Xiyue was not like that. The young man's features gave her a feeling of déjà vu, which was a memory she had buried deep down. She knew that she must have seen this young man somewhere.
The two stared at each other, both in trance.
But I heard the little slave say: "You are so rude, how can you stare at my wife like this?"
Yu Zhi suddenly came back to his senses, looked away, and said hurriedly: "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to."
Yu Zhi had never been in such a panic, not even during that beautiful moment with Li Wantong.
Jiang Xiyue said: "It doesn't matter."
Jiang Xiyue sat down opposite Yu Zhi, while Xiao Nu stood behind Jiang Xiyue and glared at Yu Zhi.
Gulu gulu~
Waves of fragrance waft out of the tea soup, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Madam, please have some tea." Yu Zhi made tea for Jiang Xiyue, but didn't say much.
Jiang Xiyue was still looking at Yu Zhi, and the more she looked at him, the more familiar and kind she felt. The strange feeling was inexplicable, as if she had seen him in a dream.
Yu Zhi cast his gaze out the window for a long time, and it took a long time before Jiang Xiyue's eyes landed on Yu Zhi's face.
Finally, Yu Zhi blushed and said, "Madam, you'd better not look at me like that."
"I'm shy!"
