"I wonder who Master Gongsun and Master Liu are here for?"
Although he had some guesses in his mind, Lou Hai still asked.
Master Wang and Yang Qing frowned. They also sensed that Gongsun Yuanyi came with bad intentions, and secretly felt a little troublesome in their hearts.
Although they are both members of the Eternal Life Palace, they are also different in importance.
Among the seven departments in the Palace of Eternal Life, the one with the highest status is the Alchemy Department. The two masters of Fang Xiandao are both masters of alchemy and the first rank of the Taoist sect. They have a distinguished status and are valued by Emperor Jiaming.
Even the commander, Zhao Zhong, did not interfere much with the Alchemy Department.
Next is the Supervision Department, which has supervisory responsibilities for all matters in the Changsheng Palace.
The Demon Suppressing Division and the Demon Catching Division have almost equal status.
To put it bluntly, they are the goons of the Palace of Eternal Life. Wherever demons cause trouble, they go to deal with it.
Then there is the Department of Medicine and the Department of Herb Collection, which are at the bottom among the six departments.
The last, of course, is He Ping'an's blessed place, the Drug Testing Department.
Needless to say, there is no need to talk about status. Drug testers basically have no human rights, and their life and death depend on other people's thoughts.
"Of course I'm here for the four people who died in vain in Li Chun Yuan."
Gongsun Yuanyang said.
"I wonder if Master Gongsun is related to Li Chun Yuan?"
Lou Hai asked. Logically speaking, if someone has nothing to do with both parties in the case, no matter how high their status is, they cannot directly interfere with the trial.
Even Chief Secretary Wang and others only watched from the sidelines and did not interrupt casually during the trial.
Gongsun Yuanyi hesitated for a moment and then sent a message to Lou Hai: "Pindao is one of the owners of Lichun Courtyard. I don't know if he is qualified or not."
As soon as these words came out, Lou Hai's expression suddenly became strange, and then he said: "If that's the case, it's naturally possible."
It turns out that Gongsun Yuanyi is one of the masterminds behind Li Chun Yuan, so it’s no wonder.
It's just that this Taoist priest opened a brothel for the first time even in the Daxuan Dynasty.
No wonder Gongsun Yuanyi didn't want to say it clearly, and no one had ever heard of it.
Yang Qing, Master Wang and others were hesitant to speak, knowing that Lou Hai was fairly fair in dealing with things. Since he could say this, there must be his reasons.
However, He Pingan's consciousness captured this message. His expression remained unchanged, but he had already begun to connect these clues in his heart.
At this moment, Bao Hui seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly crawled to Gongsun Yuanyi's side, crying: "Sir, they believed in this mirror, so they wanted to let these two people go, and instead wanted to punish the civilian women. "
Gongsun Yuan glanced at Bao Hui, kicked him away, and then slowly said: "That's called the Mind-inquiring Mirror. It was developed by a Confucian semi-sage and later imitated it. How dare you talk nonsense?"
"Why don't you quickly apologize to all your lords?"
Bao Hui's speed of observing words and emotions was unmatched by anyone. He quickly said: "It's a common woman who is ignorant. Please don't blame me, sir."
"Public women take charge of their own words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped himself three times with his bow left and right. His face suddenly swelled up, and a few strands of bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
This madam was also a ruthless person and could do him ruthless things. He Ping'an remained silent and watched their performance.
"My lords, the ignorant are not guilty. Do you think this is feasible?"
Gongsun Yuanyang asked.
Lou Hai glanced at the subordinate officials beside him, saw them nodding, and said, "If that's the case, let's forget it."
"But after Gongsun Zhenren returns, he must be strictly disciplined. Such market women
, speak freely, don't cause any trouble. "
"Don't worry, Mr. Lou."
Gongsun Yuanyang opened his mouth and said: "When I came here this time, I specially invited Mr. Liu Dingliu, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment. I was afraid that I was not clear about the matters in the court, so I invited him to help the poor Taoist solve his doubts. At the same time, he also Prevent you from saying the wrong thing.”
Having said this, the young official behind him came out and bowed his hands to everyone: "Liu Ding, the doctor of the lower punishment department, has met all of you."
Everyone returned the gift one after another, and Master Wang and others also met Gongsun Yuanyi, but the two sides had different positions, so naturally their expressions were not good-looking.
When He Pingan heard this, wasn't this the man who raped Liu Ding?
The person who had spoken nonsense in Di Bao before and was scolded by Yang Qing.
He also asked the Marquis of Yongchun to return to southern Xinjiang, and it was this person who took the lead in admonishing him.
When I met him in a brothel, he was still just a seventh-grade sesame officer, and he had to give in even three points when he saw me.
At this time, less than half a year later, he had already been promoted to the fifth rank official, and his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation was only about the eighth rank. It was obvious that his virtue was not worthy of his position.
He was promoted so quickly, and he seems to be a master who adapts to the changing circumstances, exploits every opportunity, and is good at flattering others.
Even if these are not enough, there must be big shots behind.
With a thought in his mind, he communicated with Dongshi's clone, and he suddenly felt confident.
At this time, Liu Ding already understood the previous case and asked: "According to the Daxuan Law, although the questions asked in the heart mirror can be used as evidence."
"But it's about four lives. It's better to let He Ping'an go through a self-examination and ask the question just now to show his solemnity. Sirs, what do you think?"
"this......"
Lou Hai looked inquiringly at Mr. Wang and Yang Qing, who were sitting far away.
The king's chief secretary didn't say anything, either in terms of cultivation or official position, there was a certain distance between him and him.
On the contrary, Yang Qing's cultivation level is comparable to his, and his father-in-law is not an ordinary person, so he still needs to respect their opinions.
Yang Qing was about to refuse, but suddenly his heart moved. Then his face became much calmer and he said: "But it depends on Master Lou's orders."
It was He Ping'an who sent him a message, telling him not to worry.
Ever since the last case trial in Changle County, He Ping'an knew that Yang Qing couldn't understand the meaning in his eyes.
He will never do anything stupid again like letting Yang Qing look at her and act like that.
"Okay, He Ping'an comes forward."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Lou Hai returned to the mirror.
He Ping'an walked steadily to the heart-searching mirror, his expression unchanged at all.
"He Pingan, I want to ask you, did you look for Liu Ruoxiang the night before yesterday? Did you find him?"
Lou Hai asked.
"That night, I did take Lu Yong to look for Liu Ruoxiang, but we couldn't find him!"
He Pingan's answer was exactly the same as Lu Yong's answer.
"Lu Yong said that you once picked a century-old red fruit. Is this true?"
Lou Hai asked again.
"It's true. The century-old red fruit was discovered by chance on the way to Liu Ruoxiang, so I picked it back along the way."
He Ping'an spoke eloquently: "Sir, you should know that I am proficient in pharmacology, I also have a medicine shop at home, and I am very proficient in these magical herbs."
"If that's the case, it makes sense. Where is the location where you found the century-old Zhu Guo?"
Lou Hai asked.
"Two hundred miles west of Xuanyang, near Zhang Village."
"There are still pits there."
He Ping'an replied, confident.
"Zhang Cun?"
"If so, Zhangcun is four hundred miles away from Zhangcun, and Majiazhuang is in another direction. You are a sixth-level martial arts practitioner, and you are bringing someone with you. It seems that time does not allow it."
According to the speed of sixth-level martial arts, he can run two hundred miles in one hour, but with He Ping'an and one person, the speed will slow down a lot. In three hours, it is almost the same to go back and forth to Zhangcun, but if he wants to kill people in Majiazhuang again, the time will be much longer. It was too late.
Lou Hai meditated for a moment, and then the official seal suddenly appeared in his hand. His awe-inspiring righteousness surged, and a shadow appeared in front of everyone. The city towers, hills and Heze were all vivid, and countless light spots could even be seen moving.
Everyone took a closer look and saw that it was the map of Xuanyang Gyeonggi.
There is a formation of light flickering in the center of the imperial city, it is the formation in Xuanyang Palace that covers the imperial city.
Lou Hai pointed his finger, two hundred miles west of Xuanyang City, on the map, the picture there suddenly zoomed in, and Zhang Cun appeared in front of everyone.
"It's right there."
He Pingan pointed to a barren mountain outside Zhang Village, and sure enough, he found a small pit on a cliff.
There were heavy signs of digging nearby, and it looked like someone had just dug away the contents.
This century-old red fruit was discovered by He Ping'an when he went to Gusong Village. It was indeed near Zhang Village.
Although it was not precious, He Ping'an got it by chance, so he picked it back and sent it to the Xiancao Hall for medical use.
"In this case, the case has come to light, and He Ping'an and Lu Yong have been acquitted."
Lou Hai was about to retreat again, but was interrupted by two voices at the same time.
"Wait!"
Two voices sounded.
A voice came from Liu Ding.
There was another voice, and it actually came from He Ping'an.
