When Hou Guoxing, who was already frightened and tortured and lost, returned to the capital, happened to be the second time that the Third Court held a trial of Wei Liangqing, the original Dali Temple Minister asked Wei Zhongxian to find a name, and was ordered by Emperor Tianqi to be favored by the imperial guards. The imperial envoy was sent to the Northern Zhili (now Datong area in Shanxi) to disperse grain and punish the punishment. He changed to a Dali Temple Minister who was a member of the eunuch party. Now the chief and deputy auditors became eunuch party members. Zhu Yinglong could not find a way to oppose it. He could not interfere with the imperial court's appointment of officials, but in the end he still took the power to listen.

On the day of the second trial, it was gray early in the morning. Experienced Beijingers knew it was going to snow at a glance. Sure enough, not long after, snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and it became heavier and heavier.

Before Hou Guoxing could even go back to the palace to see his mother Kebaba, he was taken to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Although it was snowing outside, the number of people gathered in front of the Ministry of Justice's yamen increased compared to last time. The three layers inside and three layers outside were crowded. Wei Zhongxian still ordered that the people were not allowed to be watched. After Hou Guoxing was taken into the gate of the Ministry of Justice, the gate of the Ministry of Justice was closed again.

Of course, Wei Zhongxian came over in advance and told Hou Guoxing how to speak in the lobby later. He was also on the list of attendance today because he was his nephew during trial, but he could not have imagined that the gate of the Ministry of Justice opened again. This time the trial was made by the Queen Zhang Yan personally brought Tian Shulan. Wei Zhongxian saw that the Queen Zhang Yan's face changed. Although the queen did not have the right to listen, she had the right to observe the trial. She did not sit in the court, but sat outside the court, and ordered the door of the Ministry of Justice to open and let the people come in to watch the entire interrogation process.

Today's presiding judge was Wen Bingxun, the Minister of Justice. When he saw that the left head of the hall was King Xin, Wei Zhongxian, and the Queen was sitting outside the hall. He didn't know how to knock down the auspicious tree when he lifted it. Today is undoubtedly the most difficult day for him to be the Minister of Justice. He was just crying cold, but now there is a layer of sweat on his forehead and nose.

"Pa" sound was very light, and the two rows of yamen runners standing at the lower head were immediately excited: "Majesty...Woo..."

"Take the prisoner Wei Liangqing!"

After a while, Wei Liangqing, wearing a prison clothes and still oozing blood from his lower body, was carried into the lobby like a dead dog. Seeing his nephew's miserable condition, Wei Zhongxian's lips trembled involuntarily, and an inexplicable light of grief ejaculation appeared in his eyes.

It seems that Wei Zhongxian loves Wei Liangqing very much, Zhu Yinglong thought in his heart.

"The retaliation of Wei Liangqing in the hall, and the beautiful girl Tian Shulan sued you for intentions to behave badly to him, so she fought hard to resist and stab your lower body. Is there any such thing?"

"No, it was that girl who seduced me and was stabbed in her lower body without investigating it for a while." Wei Liangqing opened her eyes and replied in a faint voice."

"But now that human evidence and physical evidence are present, it proves that you are indeed lustful about the beautiful girl Tian Shulan. What do you have to say?"

"There's nothing to say."

"Mr. Wen, you cannot be just a single word when you try a case. Why not summon other witnesses to ask? At that time, our nephew was not the only one present." Wei Zhongxian said in a silence.

Wen Bingxun, the Minister of Justice, hurriedly nodded and said yes, and slapped the auspicious tree and shouted: "Come here, bring Xiaolian, the maid of the beautiful girl Tian Shulan, to the court to ask questions!"

"Slow down!" Zhu Yinglong stopped shouting.

"What advice does Prince Xin have?" Wen Bingxun hurriedly bowed to Zhu Yinglong.

"May I ask, is there such a case trial in the Ming Dynasty? I don't let the parties confront each other first, but the witnesses are tried first. What's the reason?" Zhu Yinglong asked righteously.

"This..." Wen Bingxun's eyes floated towards Wei Zhongxian.

"That maid Xiaolian is also an accomplice to our nephew. She is not a witness, so why can't she be tried?" Wei Zhongxian defended forcefully.

"Haha, the one who sued Wei Liangqing was Tian Shulan, not this little Lian. Now Lord Wen didn't ask about Tian Shulan for the first time, but was an irrelevant maid first. What's the reason? Is there anyone who tried the case like this in my Daming Law?" Zhu Yinglong asked Wen Bingxun.

"Prince Xin, this..." Wen Bingxun was anxious and sweating on his forehead. Although he was Wei Zhongxian's person, he didn't want to offend King Xin and his eyes were directed at Wei Zhongxian for help.

"Sir Wen, you can try it as much as you want. What are you doing when you look at our family?" Wei Zhongxian snorted angrily.

"Come here, bring the beautiful girl Tian Shulan!" Wen Bingxun gritted his teeth with embarrassment and patted the auspicious wooden slogan. The two deputy judges next to him were relieved, thinking, "Fortunately, I am not the chief judge, otherwise I would have been myself today." At the same time, he looked at Wen Bingxun with sympathy. Alas, you, the Minister of Justice, are you going to do your best.

"The beautiful girl Tian Shulan bowed to the three great masters, the prince and the king of Wei." Tian Shulan bowed.

"Tian Shulan, Honbudo asked you, what did you become a selected girl?"

“Today’s September 28th.”

"When will you set off to Beijing?"

"The third day of October."

"You should tell the situation along the way to the details of the situation, from the Honbudang, the two masters, as well as Prince Xin and Wei Changgong, one by one, and do not hide the slightest!"

At that moment, Tian Shulan repeated what she said in front of the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor of Heaven in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. The people outside were excited. If it weren't for the imperial guards next to Queen Zhang Yan, they would probably have rushed in and severely punished Wei Liangqing's shouts, as if they could melt the snowflakes in the sky with their own shouts.

After the scene was finally under control, the people calmed down. Wen Bingxun, who was sitting in the presiding position, was now hanging himself and committing suicide. He was scared to sweat just now, but now it became cold. He suddenly felt cold all over, as if he had been stripped naked and threw it into the snow. Why was he so unlucky about this?

Next, Ye Lianyi, who pretended to be a maid, was examined. Ye Lianyi's ability to tease people was born, and pretended to be pitiful was even more amazing. Her statement almost made the people who were examined in the lobby lose control again, and Wei Zhongxian's face became pale the more he heard it. Fortunately, now he rescued Hou Guoxing, and he would help him in the palace. If Hou Guoxing helped Wei Liangqing, things would have room for improvement.

"Xiao Lian, although I sympathize with you for your experience, I cannot just listen to your family's words when I interrogate the case. The matter of handling cases in this department is reasonable and well-founded, so you should retreat first." Wen Bingxun asked Ye Lianyi, who was disguised as a maid, to retreat first. At first, Zhu Yinglong was worried that she would be recognized, but now he finally let go of the stone in his heart. Wei Zhongxian just glanced at Ye Lianyi, and did not recognize that the person kneeling on the ground was her concubine Ye Lianyi. Of course, it also attributed to Xiong Hu's makeup skills, otherwise he would not have hidden it from so many people's eyes.

"I'm here, bring the commander of the Jinyiwei, Shi Hou Guoxing, to the court!" Wen Bingxun thought to himself that as long as he passed this level today, he would resign from the Minister of Justice tomorrow and go home to take care of his old age. He was discouraged and lazy.

Hou Guoxing had just put on the red kirin robe that the Jinyiwei commanded Shi and walked in. In just a few days, the red kirin robe looked much looser when he wore it, and he became confused and seemed to have not woken up. He had an official position, so naturally there was no need to kneel down in the lobby, just hold his fists and greet him.

"Waiting for Command History, the Ministry of Education asked you, along the way, you will tell you all the situation on the way back to Beijing from Kaifeng."

"Yes, Master of the Ministry." Hou Guoxing said with his fists. He gave Wei Liangqing a great attentiveness to his beautiful daughter Tian Shulan. He allowed two maids to accompany him, and hired a carriage alone, and told everything before Feiyundu.

The more Wei Zhongxian heard, his face turned pale. This was a counter-case for Wei Liangqing. It was clearly a detriment. In fact, this was already considered a good thing. Hou Guoxing just told the matter truthfully and did not add fuel to the fire. This was already quite unfavorable to Wei Liangqing. Wei Zhongxian wanted to go up and kill Hou Guoxing with a knife. If he had known, he would not have saved him at such a high price. He would have to use this point that he could not be partially listened to and believed. He would have encouraged his ministers to write a letter to help Wei Liangqing speak. As long as he delayed the time and the attacks of these ministers, it would not be difficult for Wei Liangqing to be able to save his life. Now that Hou Guoxing came to the court, Wei Zhongxian originally wanted to turn defeat into victory, but now there was no hope. There was also Li Yongzhen. Now everyone has confirmed this fact, and the fakes have become real.

"Wenbu Hall, the case is now clear. Now it's not just the plaintiff's testimony, but also the third party's testimony. It's time for you to pronounce the verdict!" Zhu Yinglong saw Wei Zhongxian's angry look and was excited, and said to Wen Bingxun, the chief trialist who was sitting in the hall to try the case.

"This, this..." Wen Bingxun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He was cold just now, but now he was so anxious that he was steaming all over. He couldn't ask Wei Zhongxian for help because Wei Zhongxian was sitting on his right head like a wooden man, with no expression on his face.

"Is it difficult to judge such an obvious case?" Queen Zhang Yan suddenly stood up and said coldly to Wen Bingxun.

"Duke Wei, Duke Wei, Duke Wei..." Wen Bingxun stood up and shouted lightly at Wei Zhongxian, but there was no response. There was no choice but to turn around, aim at the hall, slapped the awkward wood, and said, "I listen to the verdict in the hall: Duke Ning Guo Wei Liangqing ignores the emperor's kindness and does not want to repay..." Jili said a series of official articles, and then sentenced Wei Liangqing to behead him in the hall. When the emperor's imperial pen is decided, he will bend the Meridian Gate at noon tomorrow!

When the verdict was heard, the people outside the lobby shouted repeatedly, pointing and telling Wei Liangqing's ugly behavior on weekdays. It seems that killing Wei Liangqing is very popular.

Wei Zhongxian was finally helped out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. It is said that he vomited a large mouthful of blood when he returned to the mansion.

The Minister of Justice Wen Bingxun fell ill as soon as he got home. The next day he submitted a memorial begging to resign and go home to retire. Wei Zhongxian hated his incompetence and sentenced his nephew Wei Liangqing to his death and kicked him out of the court.

The snow continued to fall until the next day, when Wei Zhongxian was desperate to seek Emperor Tianqi, Wei Liangqing was beheaded in public at the Meridian Gate. Miraculously, as soon as Wei Liangqing's head fell to the ground, the snowflakes in the sky stopped, and the sky suddenly cleared up. The people all said that this was God's eyes opened. I don't know what strange scene would appear when Wei Zhongxian was beheaded. The Chinese people are most superstitious about this. Every strange natural scene in the sky was thought of by people as some kind of omen or warning from heaven. This kind of thing became more and more magical and magical. It also pulled Zhu Yinglong and Tian Shulan in. Tian Shulan was said to be the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Xuannv sent by God to punish the evil people. Zhu Yinglong was circulated as the true god of the guardian who protected the Nine Heavens Xuannv. There were all kinds of messy legends, but at least now Zhu Yinglong's image is completely positive.

Emperor Tianqi fell into the water last year and was asthma after walking a few steps. In addition, his health was not good, and it was snowing heavily and the weather was cold. Basically, people could only live on a warm bed. Emperor Tianqi was not a lustful emperor and had a unclear relationship with Kebaba. Basically, Wei Zhongxian arranged for him to favor the concubine and favor the concubine. Although Tian Shulan made him a little moved, Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba were motivated and opposed it, believing that Tian Shulan was a woman like Daji who was a disaster for the country and could not stay in the palace, and encouraged Emperor Tianqi to drive Tian Shulan out. Emperor Tianqi was a little unbelievable at first. Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba were nagging in his ear for a long time, so he believed it and issued an imperial edict saying that the beautiful girl Tian Shulan suffered a lot of resentment. The emperor pityed her and issued an order to remove the identity of the beautiful girl and let her leave the palace and reunite her family.

In this way, Tian Shulan can come out of the palace and no longer have to worry. A stone in Zhu Yinglong's heart fell to the ground.

Wei Liangqing was executed, and Emperor Tianqi felt a little sorry for Wei Zhongxian, the loyal minister. He specially ordered Wei Zhongxian to take over the position of Wei Liangdong as Duke of Ningguo and Grand Tutor, and Wei Pengyi was the position of the prince's Taibao, which was considered compensation. Wei Zhongxian died a nephew, and his power increased a lot. This was unexpected by Zhu Yinglong. He could only sigh that Emperor Tianqi's trust in Wei Zhongxian was too strong, but there was a slight change, that is, Emperor Tianqi also added Dongping Hou, Shaoshi, Wei Zhongxian and Kebaba to Hou Guoxing. After Hou Guoxing came back, he seemed to have become a person. With the support of his uncle Ke Guangxian, he looked at him and cultivated his confidants, which was very polite to compete with Wei Zhongxian. This gratifying change was exactly what Zhu Yinglong wanted.

Another gratifying thing is that Shen Xi has been recovered for several months and has recovered. Although she is a little limping when walking, she is much more energetic than before. It is time to solve the mystery of the identity of Shen Xi when she rescued Shen Xi. In addition to Zhu Yinglong, there is another group of people.
