As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
"Have you thought it through?"
Lou Hai asked.
Lu Yong was brought to Jingzhao Mansion, but he did not target Lu Yong, especially when he heard that Lu Yong had passed the exam and had good poetry skills. He even taught a few sentences in the exam, which he greatly appreciated, and he also admired Lu Yong very much.
Otherwise, how can we wait for He Ping'an to come? The reputation of Jingzhao Mansion Prison is such that even the slick gangsters on the streets of Xuanyang must be afraid of him.
Those street gangsters would rather go to the county jail than enter the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Yang Qing and others also tightened their expressions. They heard that He Ping'an had brought this person out of Xuanyang City Gate.
Thinking about this case again, nine times out of ten, He Ping'an was probably responsible.
If it goes through the interrogation mirror, once Lu Yong confesses, He Ping'an will not be able to escape the guilt.
There was a sneer on the old bustard's face. Although Lu Yong was good at studying, he was just a nerd and dared to ask questions. According to the immortal master, these two people were definitely responsible for this matter.
The watchman's expression remained normal. He didn't know much about the mirror, so he just recalled what he saw truthfully.
"Sir, Xiaosheng has thought clearly and is willing to look into the mirror to prove his innocence!"
Lu Yong waved his clothes, looking like he was about to wash away his grievances.
If someone didn't know, they would really think that he was unjustly accused.
He Ping'an felt funny in his heart. This Lu Yong was indeed a good young man who could be cultivated. Not only was he talented, but he could also act. Now he had inspired his ambitions and was already qualified to become a powerful minister.
"Okay, since you insist on doing so, I will do as you wish."
Although Lou Hai cherished his talents, he turned around and signaled, and several government servants walked to the back hall. After a while, they carried a simple bronze mirror, which was as tall as a person, to the lobby.
After the bronze mirror was placed, Lou Hai stepped off the stage. With a thought in his mind, a burst of righteousness burst out from his chest. Under Lou Hai's control, it landed on the bronze mirror.
His cultivation level is comparable to that of Yang Qing, and he is a third-grade Confucian monk.
Suddenly, soft white light glowed on the originally smooth mirror surface.
As the white light came on, everyone felt the emotion. They felt as if the secrets in their hearts were being spied on, and they were about to blurt it out.
It was not until three breaths passed that everyone finally adapted to the magic of the Heart-Winning Mirror and gradually regained their composure.
"Lu Yong, come forward!"
Lou Hai stood in front of the bronze mirror, his voice was like thunder, and his figure, which was still a little chubby, now looked much majestic.
Lu Yong looked back at He Pingan, and when he saw the other person gave him a firm look, he stepped forward.
When Lu Yong stood still, Lou Hai began to ask: "Lu Yong, let me ask you, did you go out of the city with He Ping'an the night before yesterday?"
Following his question, a white light shot out from the surface of the Questioning Mirror, surrounding Lu Yong.
I saw Lu Yong in the white light, his face was wandering, and he was obviously struggling in his heart. He paused for three breaths. The white light on the mirror became even hotter, prompting Lu Yong to speak: "The night before yesterday, I did go out of the city with Lord He. .”
"Why are you leaving the city?"
Lou Hai looked calm and continued to ask
Lu Yong's face showed a frank look: "I left the city to find Liu Ruoxiang."
"Look, sir, let's just say that this guy conspired with others to murder the people in Lichun Courtyard. I feel sorry for Xiang'er..."
"Woooooooo..."
Bao Hui began to sob softly again, seeming to be apologizing for Liu Ruoxiang's injustice.
The people below also started talking about it
"quiet!"
Lou Hai's face darkened, he shouted loudly, and his words immediately silenced all the voices.
"Have you ever found it?"
Lou Hai asked.
"Never!"
Lu Yong seemed to have adapted to the mirror at this time and answered questions faster and faster.
Bao Hui's expression changed and he was about to speak out, but unfortunately his mouth opened wide, but no sound came out.
Hearing Lu Yong's answer, Lou Hai's face widened and he asked, "Since you didn't find it, why did you leave the city for three hours?"
Lu Yong glanced at He Ping'an and replied, "Because Mr. He discovered some medicinal materials, it was delayed for some time."
Lou Hai looked curious and asked, "Oh, what medicinal materials?"
"Young students don't quite understand it. From Master He's words, it seems to be some kind of century-old red fruit."
Lu Yong opened his mouth and answered.
Lou Hai pondered for a few breaths. Seeing that he had nothing to ask, he asked Lu Yong to walk out of the mirror.
"In this case, the matter has been revealed and there is no need for another trial. The murderer of these three people may be someone else. Lu Yong and He Ping'an are acquitted."
Lou Hai withdrew and said that he wanted to withdraw from the court.
He originally admired Lu Yong, and did not want to offend He Ping'an of the Changsheng Palace. He was just the honorary boss of Jingzhao Palace. King Jing suddenly asked him yesterday.
Emperor Jiaming's two sons were King Jing and King Han.
Since the Daxuan Dynasty, the Jingzhao Mansion has had an honorary boss, Jingzhao Mu, usually held by the prince. However, because there was no prince in the Daxuan Dynasty, after consulting Emperor Jiaming, King Jing was finally appointed.
Normally, King Jing seldom interfered with the affairs of Jingzhao Mansion, but this time he did so, which made Lou Hai somewhat difficult to deal with, so he sent people to the Palace of Eternal Life to get He Ping'an.
After passing the Questioning Mirror at this time, even if King Jing asked, he could reply.
At this time, Bao Hui stood up and shouted injustice: "Sir... the three of us can't die in vain. This mirror may not be accurate."
Lou Hai was stunned and shouted angrily: "How dare you! This mind-asking mirror was personally developed by the Daxuan Confucian half-sage five hundred years ago. How dare you, a cunning woman, insult a half-sage? Come on, Give me twenty more strikes!"
As soon as the words fell, government officials on both sides came out and forced Bao Hui down on the stool regardless of her resistance. Two other government officials stood on either side, raising their canes and dropping them heavily.
"Wait!"
A loud shout was heard, and two people walked out of the lobby.
One of them was wearing a purple Taoist robe and had a sinister face. When He Pingan saw it, his eyes narrowed. It was Gongsun Yuanyi, a disciple of Tao Zhenren, the director of alchemy.
Behind Gongsun Yuanyi was a domineering young man, dressed in blue official uniform, with a white pheasant embroidered on the official palace, which is the symbol of the fifth-rank official.
He Ping'an secretly wondered, what is Gongsun Yuanyi doing here?
Could it be that this case has something to do with him?
The young official behind him looks to be in his twenties, already a fifth-rank official, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person.
He Ping'an felt familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere. After a brief recollection, he remembered that when he first went to Lichun Court, this person wanted to grab his seat. Finally, he heard that he was from the Palace of Eternal Life. , and then retreated.
If he were a fifth-rank official, how could he be afraid of a small official in green like himself?
Hearing the sound, Lou Hai saw these two people, sat up from the high platform, and said with a smile: "It turns out that it's Master Gongsun and Mr. Liu who are here. I hope you'll forgive me for being a little far away."
There are thousands of official positions in Daxuan, but if you ask which is the most difficult official position, anyone in the officialdom will silently say four words: Jingzhao Prefecture Yin.
Although he was in a high and powerful position, he was not a human being, especially after Emperor Jiaming took office. Thirteen Jingzhao governors were replaced in ten years.
If you want to ask why, the main reason is that Jingzhao Mansion is located at the foot of Tianzi. It is a place where princes, nobles, relatives of the emperor, princes, generals, and powerful officials gather. The rich and powerful are married to each other, and the relationships are intricate. If you are not careful, it will He will be dismissed from office, beheaded and sent to the army.
On the contrary, Lou Hai, four years have passed since he became the governor of Jingzhao, but he is still firmly in Diaoyutai.
The reason is that, on the surface, he is all-rounded and can offend no one, but in fact, he is very deep and hidden.
So whether he met the king's chief secretary or Gongsun Yuanyi and others, even though his official position was lower than his, he still looked warm and kind, making no one angry.
"Master Lou, there is no need to be polite. The two of us are here just for this case."
Gongsun Yuan looked solemn and said, "I don't want to see Mr. Lou being tortured as soon as I come here."
Lou Hai was stunned. He thought that Gongsun Yuanyi came here for He Ping'an. After all, they were all from the Palace of Eternal Life, which was quite reasonable.
But hearing what he said, Lou Hai never expected that he came here for this old bustard.
