Du Zhongqing's eyes were scarlet, and he knocked his forehead heavily on the ground.

He raised his eyes again and looked at Fu Jiuqu earnestly.

"One time when I was in a hospital in Shitang, I heard them talking about the former medical officer Chen Chusheng... The criminals suspected that the tragic death of Chen Taiyi and his family was related to Zhang Lu. Please ask the Prince of Guangling County to investigate thoroughly."

As Du Zhongqing spoke, he put his head on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

When he lifted it up again, there was blood on his forehead.

"The guilty people have also heard Shi Tang mention the cat of Prince Guangling, and the slave girl named Luo Tan who serves the cat of Prince Guangling... But the guilty people don't know yet what the connection is between them..."

Wow!

The execution ground once again erupted in shock.

The corners of Fu Jiuqu's lips raised into a smile.

"Really? That's a coincidence."

Du Zhongqing said: "Every sentence of the guilty people is true. Please investigate carefully."

Zhang Yaozhuo's eyes widened, "This is unreasonable. He boldly commits a crime and slanders an official of the imperial court. Someone comes and pulls him down..."

"Sir Zhang." Fu Jiuqu interrupted him, "Those who are clear will be clean themselves, so why not listen?"

"Prince!" Du Zhongqing raised his head and stared at Fu Jiuqu, "The guilty people didn't say anything before because they thought that in this world, officials protect each other and there is no place to redress their grievances... Moreover, the crimes committed by the guilty people are unpardonable.

, then he kept silent. And..."

His eyes fell on Hu Man again, "From the beginning to the end, Hu Man just couldn't stand the entanglement of the sinners. He taught me the method of deodorizing the body of the Saint of Zhenla, but she knew nothing about this case.

, she has never hurt anyone, including me... I hurt her, humiliated her, and hurt her the most. She had countless opportunities to kill me, but she didn't do it... The sinners begged the Prince of Guangling County to make the decision for her.

,Return her innocence!"

One head, two heads.

Du Zhongqing's hands were tied behind his back, and he hit his head on the ground without caring.

As if to prove the truth of his words, he refused to stop even though he was covered in blood.

Hu Man lay limp on the ground, staring at him motionless, opening and closing his mouth without making any sound.

A gentle breeze blows, and the sun rises warmly above the head.

When Xin Yi left the execution ground, he felt a chill down his spine and his steps felt like they were filled with lead.

The crowded crowd dispersed in all directions, and their ears were filled with all kinds of discussions.

Everyone was discussing the case, and Xin Yi listened, walking among the bustling crowd, but thinking about what groceries to buy and take home, and how to tell Fu Jiuqu about the surgery when he came in the evening...

Although surgery has been available since the time of Hua Tuo, it did not develop well until the Tang and Song Dynasties. People at that time would definitely be very wary of the treatment method of disembowelment...

Does Prince Guangling think that he wants to murder him?

Outside Funing Hall.

Fu Jiuqu lowered his head and stood in front of Zhao Zhen, listening to his scolding.

"You are really brave. You kept me in the dark about such a big thing?"

Fu Jiuqu said: "Didn't the ministers report everything to the officials?"

"It's too late." Zhao Guanjia said, and became very angry. "I really believed your lies. I thought you wanted to take care of your colleagues, focus on mending relationships, take the initiative to give way, invite the three divisions to review, and let Zhang Yaozhuo supervise the execution.

, and on the grounds that Du Zhongqing had committed many crimes and slandered the imperial court, he requested that he be executed in an untimely manner... You, you! It turns out that all this is a trap set by you!"

Fu Jiuqu pursed his thin lips slightly, "Wei Chen thinks that it is inappropriate for officials to use the word "trap". A scheming means a strategy. Shi Tang coveted beauty and killed people, He Xu made money and faked it, Lu Gongbai, a noble and well-known family, was addicted to women.

Colluding with party members? If I report it like this, the officials must also find it far-fetched, right?"

"Hmph!" Zhao Zhen looked at him coldly, "Since you have suspicions, why don't you investigate with all your strength and insist on taking the matter to the court, letting the people of Bianjing watch, letting the people of the world know about it, and making me laugh at the ridicule of all the people!

"

"The official's words are serious. If this case is handled well, the people of the world will only praise the official's benevolence and wisdom, and the righteousness of killing relatives. How can they laugh at it..."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen frowned and his beard trembled with anger. He pointed at Fu Jiuqu's nose and scolded, "Have you arranged my path? My only way out is to destroy our relatives for justice, right or wrong?"

?You bitch, you are forcing me to submit!"

Fu Jiuqu raised his hands and saluted with a correct attitude, looking like he knew his mistake but was helpless.

"The official pardons me. Wei Chen found out that the case was full of doubts and was indignant. However, due to insufficient evidence, Du Zhongqing thought Shi Tang was his benefactor and refused to tell even half of the truth. Wei Chen had to take this step

…”

After a pause, he raised his head.

"Wei Chen knows that the official family has been busy with state affairs recently, so he does not dare to disturb the official family, and he definitely does not dare to make decisions for the official family. How to resolve this case is decided by the official family, and no small minister dares to disobey. It's just..."

Fu Jiuqu sighed softly: "I have one more thing to say before I leave. When the tree is big, it attracts the wind, and it is more favored than Wuwei. The officials are sensible people. Today they dare to kill people and set fires for personal gain. They dare to saw off the pig pens in the inner garden of the officials."

To humiliate the Queen’s wedding ceremony, I might dare to climb on top of the official family tomorrow…”

After saying that, his eyelids drooped slightly and he bowed his eyes lightly.

"The officials will slowly think about how to deal with it, and the ministers will take their leave."

"Get out!" Zhao Zhen cursed with his eyes wide open.

Fu Jiuqu smiled, bowed respectfully and left.

He knew that this time he was taking risks and exposing the matter in broad daylight for all the people to hear, because he was afraid that his uncle, the emperor, would once again protect his shortcomings and treat Zhang Guifei lightly because of his concern for Concubine Zhang.

As for whether it would offend the emperor?

He couldn't care less.

Moreover, the most angry person in the official family at the moment would not be him.

Imperial City Division.

When Fu Jiuqu stepped into the threshold, Cai Qi, Wei Mao and others rushed forward and asked him nervously.

"How? Did the officials blame me?"

Fu Jiuqu shook his head and walked in lazily, "How could it be? Officials are not dim-witted kings."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and laughed together.

"The prince is really planning to leave no stone unturned. Let's see how they escape this time. Once Zhang Lu is captured, his subordinates will interrogate him overnight..."

Fu Jiuqu glanced over coldly, "Don't be careless. Regarding the matter of Chen Chusheng and Luo Tan mentioned by Du Zhongqing, Wei Mao, you can take the lead and investigate and deal with it again. The evidence must be solid to prevent them from having any chance of turning over.

.”

Wei Mao stood up straight and said, "Subordinate, take orders!"

Fu Jiuqu sat down lazily and waved his hand: "You all can go down."

"yes."

All the subordinates filed away.

But Fu Jiuqu stopped Sun Huai: "Change my clothes."

Sun Huai smiled and said: "Master, where are you going?"

Fu Jiuqu curled up the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "Let's go eat."

~~

Fu Jiuqu came out after changing his clothes and put on a blue cape. He looked handsome, arrogant and noble.

Cai Qi was waiting outside, watching him tut and smile teasingly.

"Where is Prince Guangling going to attend the banquet? Dressed up so elegantly?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced at him, "What does it have to do with you?"

Cai Qi walked forward with a half-smile but looked him up and down.

"When we didn't break off the engagement a while ago, we were brothers and we were affectionate and righteous. Now that we've broken off the engagement, all the troubles and bad luck have been passed on to me, we are no longer brothers? Can't we even ask?"

This statement sounds a bit sour, but it means something.

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it just what you want to marry Miss Cao?"

"Fart!" Cai Qi lowered his eyes and glared at him. When he realized that there was a subordinate watching next to him, he quickly suppressed his expression, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice:

"Others don't know me, don't you? I watched Cao Yilan grow up and always thought of her as my younger sister. Have you ever heard of any elder brother who is willing to marry a younger sister?"

Fu Jiuqu seemed to be smiling, but his dark eyes were full of meaning.

"Chonglou, tell the truth. Did you deliberately plot against me?" Cai Qi narrowed his eyes, smacked his tongue and said, "I only came to my senses in the past two days. If you have anything to do, ask me to comfort her. Go

Spread the word...you have no good intentions."
