"No... I can't go. If you go, you'll bring trouble upon yourself." Mrs. Zhang stopped the master.
"Do you think Yue'er can withstand Gu Zhouting's interrogation just because of her little tricks? Who is Gu Zhouting? Even the veteran bastards in the officialdom dare not make trouble in front of him. Since he dares to tell Yue'er If he goes, it means he already has the evidence and a plan in mind."
"But I have told Biluo to take on this responsibility, saying that she can't bear to see Yue'er worrying about Si Lang's marriage. It was her own decision. As long as Yue'er was not instigated, there is room for change in this matter. Yue'er can't bear the crime of being lax in controlling her servants, and it won't hurt her bones."
Qin Bochong hesitated, and luck took over.
"I still have to go to the palace and find Concubine Sun, just in case."
In the lobby of the Criminal Department, Gu Zhouting, as the presiding judge, interrogated Chu Feifan first, and then Li Zhong and Yao Shilang according to the procedure. Everyone already knew these circumstances. Based on Li Zhong's confession, it could only prove that Yao Shilang was innocent, and could not determine the true identity. Who is the mastermind behind .
Why is Gu Zhouting so confident? What evidence does he have?
When Master Yao was taken down, Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Yan Hui, Liu Wenbin, and Du Qianyuan come to the hall."
Three candidates came to the hall. All three of them had clear eyes and upright spirits.
"The end of Xueyan's return."
"I will learn from Liu Wenbin."
"The last student is Du Qianyuan."
"I've met my lord."
Gu Zhouting nodded slightly and said in a gentle tone: "Tell me how you found out that Chu Feifan bought the test questions, and how you confirmed that Chu Feifan bought the real test questions."
Yan replied seriously: "We can't confirm that what Chu Feifan bought is the real test question, but we can confirm that Chu Feifan thinks it is the real test question. No matter whether the test question is true or false, now that we have discovered it, we have the obligation to report it to the court. If it is true, it will matter. If the fairness and justice of the Luncai Ceremony are false, it means that someone is using it to make ill-gotten gains."
"That makes sense." Chen Yushi said in approval, stroking his three-inch beard.
Gu Zhouting motioned to Yan Hui to continue.
Yanhui explained everything one by one.
"So, every link is guided by Jiang Pengcheng, right?"
"Yes, it was Jiang Pengcheng who first discovered Chu Feifan's anomaly, and it was Jiang Pengcheng who suggested that we follow Chu Feifan, but the final decision to report him to the police was a decision made by the four of us after discussion."
Gu Zhouting motioned for them to stand aside and slapped the gavel heavily: "Take Jiang Pengcheng."
Jiang Pengcheng was brought to the court in despair.
He didn't dare to look at several of his fellow villagers and classmates, and felt guilty.
When Yan Hui and others saw Jiang Pengcheng, their expressions were complicated, with some regrets, but mostly disappointment.
"Kneel down."
Jiang Pengcheng knelt down honestly.
"Jiang Pengcheng, please retell your confession to all your lords." Gu Zhou stopped.
He casually passed Jiang Pengcheng's confession to Chen Yushi, who read it and passed it to the Second Highness.
Jiang Chengpeng knew that there was no need for him to struggle pointlessly and confessed truthfully.
At this moment, Xiao Wang was still unable to connect the man wearing a bamboo hat with Yu Qing, the princess's bodyguard.
He was still wondering who was so bold.
Where did the test questions in the man's hand come from?
"So, it was this man wearing a bamboo hat who gave you two hundred taels of silver and promised you that you would pass the test, and asked you to guide Yan Hui and others to discover that Chu Feifan had bought the test questions, and encouraged everyone to report to the official, right?"
Jiang Pengcheng regretted: "Yes."
"How do you believe that this man wearing a hat can really guarantee that you will do well in your studies?"
"The student thought that since his master could find out that the test questions were leaked, he must be someone closely related to the current examination."
"Jiang Pengcheng, wait aside."
Gu Zhouting cleared his throat and then said: "Princess Princess, Yu Qing and Biluo are coming to the court."
Xiao Wang's heart trembled, Crown Princess? Gu Zhouting actually passed on the title of Crown Princess? Could it be...
Xiao Wang felt like five thunders were hitting his head.
Other officials hearing the trial were also surprised and looked at each other.
Is it possible that it was the Crown Princess who planned this scandal?
This...this is no reason!
Everyone couldn't help but think of the rumors that the prince and the princess were not getting along.
Could it be that the Crown Princess grew hatred out of love and took revenge on His Highness the Crown Prince?
Only Xiao Yan looked at Xiao Wang calmly.
This scene is wonderful.
Gu Zhouting was indeed a talented person, he was able to find out the truth about the Crown Princess.
Qin Siyue's master and servant were brought to the hall.
Before Gu Zhouting could speak, Minister Gong said, "Show the princess a seat."
Gu Zhouting had no objection and asked her to sit for a while. Sooner or later she would have to kneel down.
Qin Siyue could sit down, but Yu Qing and Bi Luo did not have such treatment. Gu Zhou paused and clapped his hands, speaking in a cold voice: "Kneel down and listen to the trial."
Yu Qing looked calm and knelt down.
Bi Luo was so scared that her hands hidden in her sleeves were shaking. She glanced at the Crown Princess and then at the Prince. The Prince's eyes were full of doubts.
Biluo slowly knelt down.
"Yu Qing, on the 12th of this month, have you ever been to Cuichun Tower?"
Yu Qing said nothing.
Gu Zhouting snorted coldly: "Pretending to be mute? Come, bring the flower lady of Cuichunlou."
The flower girl was brought up.
Gu Zhouting took out the portrait and said, "Hua Niang, look carefully. Is this portrait drawn according to your description?"
The flower lady looked at the painting and said, "This was painted last night by a gentleman named Jiang based on my description of my concubine."
Gu Zhouting handed the portrait to Chen Yushi for circulation.
Although this portrait has simple brushwork and rough lines, it captures the essence of the character, especially the cold eyes, which are no different from Yu Qing kneeling in the hall.
When Xiao Wang saw the painting, he could determine who the person in the portrait was almost at a glance, because he had seen this person's portrait, and the brushstrokes and techniques were the same.
It was not painted by a man named Jiang at all, but by Jiang Wan Ning.
As for the person in the painting, it is undoubtedly Yu Qing.
"Then the person in the painting is the one who asked you about Chu Feifan at Cuichun Tower on the 12th of this month?"
"Sir, that's right."
"See if this person is in court."
Hua Niang glanced around, finally landing on Yu Qing who was kneeling next to her, and said firmly: "That's him."
"How did he ask? How did you answer?"
"Back to your lord, I had just sent Mr. Chu away when I was stopped by this man. He gave me a piece of silver and asked me, is that Mr. Chu just now a candidate?"
"I said, yes, his name is Chu Feifan, from Luzhou. I laughed and said, he is just an ignorant idiot, and then he left."
Gu Zhouting signaled the official to take Hua Niang down, and then asked Jiang Pengcheng: "Jiang Pengcheng, see clearly, is this person the person you met at Qingxin Tea House today, is he the person who gave you money and promised you benefits. "
Jiang Pengcheng glanced at Yu Qing and said, "My lord, every time the student sees him, he is wearing a bamboo hat. The bamboo hat is pressed very low, and his appearance cannot be seen clearly. Moreover, he is also wearing casual clothes, not the guard uniform." , but the student recognized his hands and his knife. There was an inch-long knife scar on his right hand, and a blue double fish necklace hung on the handle of his knife."
