Chapter 70 is over

Another ten-day dynasty, the ministers once again lined up in a neat line from the Huiji Gate to enter the palace, and then there was a discussion about today's events. At present, the most urgent thing in the Song Dynasty is not the case of the Fang family. After all, this is just a small matter related to a family. The bigger situation is the situation in the north.

However, during this period of time, there has not been much news from the north. Except for Youzhou City, which is still surrounded by the barbarians, there is no follow-up. However, no news can also be regarded as a good omen. At least the gateway of the Central Plains in Youzhou is still in the hands of the Song people. As long as Wang Chong in the southwest quickly passes, everything has room for redemption.

And this time, another more important problem also emerged, which is Wang Chong's itinerary. It has been half a month, and the court naturally urged him, and it was not until three days ago that they had to report that the king rushed through Lingzhou and was coming to the capital. In fact, there is nothing we can do. Wang Chong, as the commander-in-chief of the army, can't just leave. He must make full arrangements.

Although these family officials who have never looked up to the generals are dissatisfied with this, they can only complain a few times underneath at the juji when they must rely on Wang Chong to guard the northern Xinjiang, and they dare not say it.

After finishing the matter in the north, the officials said a lot of other things, but everyone's mind was not here, because they knew that more than half a month had passed, and the matter of the Fang family must be explained today.

Sure enough, when the officials calmed down and the waiter was about to ask if anyone wanted to speak again, Wu Jingzi was the first to stand up and speak. He was very dissatisfied with the attitude of some of Lian Chongru's recent push committee. The other party did not solve Xu Jinghong in prison according to his own wishes, and the conviction of the Gyeonggi government was not settled, which made Wu Sikong very angry. Taking advantage of today's court meeting, he would blame the two government departments in public and knock on Lian Chongru and Lu Bingqing. .

Once Wu Jingji came out of his courtiers, everyone was stunned, and then listened to him say, "The matter of the Fang family has been many days since then. Jingji Prefecture and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, why haven't you given a conclusion? Do you have to wait until something big happens in the court before you try your best to investigate?

This was a little heavy, and many people looked at the two government officials with gloating eyes, waiting for their defense. Originally, according to the rules, it was natural for Lian Chongru, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, to reply first, but somehow, this time he was silent and just swept his eyes to Lu Bingqing.

Seeing the other party like this, Lu Bingqing naturally couldn't refuse. At the same time, he was already prepared, so although he was criticized by Wu Jingzi, he did not panic. After waiting for a while, he walked out of the class, first saluted the sitting puppet emperor, and then arched his hand to Wu Jingzi and said, "Lord Wu's words are really serious. Our capital has been trying to investigate the case since the Fang family's bloody case, and never dare to slack off at all."

"Oh, isn't it? So why haven't you heard that the Gyeonggi government has reported the truth of the case today? Is it that you can't find out, or do you want to shield someone and refuse to report the truth? Wu Jingzi asked with a cold face.

"This case is not trivial. We must investigate carefully in order to prevent the murderer from getting out, so it has been delayed until today." Lu Bingqing said calmly in the face of the other party's pressure, "But just last night, everything had a clue. Today, Wu Sikong didn't ask, and the subordinate also wanted to tell the truth we investigated."

"Oh?" Other officials showed curiosity when they heard this and didn't know what he would say. Many officials frowned. They were worried that the Gyeonggi government would directly return the charges to Xu Jinghong in order to relieve their pressure, so that even the Ministry of Criminal Justice could only directly decide the case, and their previous confessions would not work.

However, Lu Bingqing's words were beyond everyone's expectations. He continued to say in a calm voice, "There is one thing that I don't let you know, that is, when the people in my capital government rushed to the scene of the crime, they found not only the bodies of the Fang family, but also the bodies of three other men in black who looked obviously as accomplices."

"What? Are all the rumors rumored before true? Many officials suddenly burst into their hearts. Although they do not spread these words, they still know the words spread among the people. At the same time, many people turn their eyes to the seemingly calm Ye Mingyang - because according to recent rumors, these three people have a lot to do with the Ye family.

Although Ye Mingyang was still very calm and seemed to have nothing to do with him, his heart suddenly sank and vaguely felt that the situation was a little bad. But his nourishing skills are so good that people can't see any problems on the surface.

Lu Bingqing's words continued: "Because this case is important, even if there are such obvious clues at the scene, our Gyeonggi government does not dare to adopt them at all, so that the three bodies have been inspected layer by layer. It was not until two days ago that we could officially confirm that the three of them were indeed killed by the Fang family's nurse in a fight with the Fang family, but there is no doubt about this.

After a pause, seeing that everyone was still listening to him carefully, Lu Bingqing said, "And this is not how shocking the subordinates. After all, the other party killed the people of the Fang family, the important minister in the court, which damaged some people, and left the dead accomplices in a moment of panic. After dispelling this question, the subordinate knew a situation that surprised me and almost couldn't believe it.

"What's going on? Don't sell it." Wu Jingzi stopped when he saw that he only said half of his words and said impatiently. However, other officials have shown a clear color. In addition to that statement, what else can surprise Lu Bingqing?

"Yes, the subordinate said it directly." After taking a deep breath, Lu Bingqing said slowly, "That is, while we are sure that these three are accomplices of the murderers, the subordinates who went to visit the identities of the three also found out the exact identities of these three people. The three of them used to be bandit killers in the world, and each of them had a bloody case. The three were Liu Siming, Pang Dingtian and Xue Muyao. But strangely, all three of them suddenly disappeared in the past two years and stopped committing crimes.

"It was not until the subordinates of the subordinates had discovered an amazing truth after several investigations. The three of them had been accepted by a powerful family and became their killers. And this family is where Ye Situ, one of the three princes in our dynasty, is in the Ye family!" Finally, without any pause, he said everything he had to say.

The hall suddenly became quiet. Although everyone had guessed the key, the impact directly said by Lu Bingqing was still quite strong, making it impossible for everyone to react for a long time.

Among this, the expression of Ye Mingyang and the attachment of the Ye family was the most wonderful. They seemed to say something, but they didn't know what to say for a while. In the end, they only stared at the bold five-grade prefectural governor on the spot. I don't know if he took the wrong medicine today.

"Lu Fuyin, this is the court. You must be responsible for everything you say. Don't talk nonsense!" After a long time, Ye Mingyang, who was already pale, said solemnly. Wu Jingzi, who was still asking everything, consciously retreated after asking such a result. He knew that it was time to change people to talk next. At the same time, Wu Jingzi was also surprised. If he was asked to choose an enemy, Ye Mingyang, who was more powerful than himself and more capable than himself, was naturally far higher than Xu Jinghong, who had many ways to deal with.

"What the subordinate said is true. What dare you do?" Now that all the words have been made clear, Lu Bingqing also changed his previous retreat and faced Ye Mingyang's momentum, which seemed very calm.

"You..." Ye Mingyang didn't expect things to be like this. Although he was angry, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Lord Lu, is there any evidence for everything you said? Don't do this for personal gain or being bought, otherwise you can't bear the consequences.

"Lu Bingqing, I think you were instigated to say such a confused word. You'd better change it quickly, otherwise I'm afraid it will end well." ... After seeing Ye Mingyang make a sound, many officials attached to the Ye family woke up like a dream and scolded Lu Bingqing loudly. They wanted to suppress Lu Bingqing with this group of offensive.

Ye Mingyang slowed down and recovered from the chaos just now and sneered, "Only these three thieves have put such a serious crime on your official. Lu Bingqing's case is too arbitrary, isn't it?"

"Your Excellency's words are wrong. The subordinate did not say that the behind-the-scenes murderer who killed the Fang family this time is Lord Ye." Even under such circumstances, Lu Bingqing was still very sober and immediately argued, "I only said that those three people had something to do with the Ye family, and I never said that what they did was related to the Ye family."

"..." Hearing what he said, everyone including Ye Mingyang suffocated and couldn't speak. This is really a little guilty. The other party didn't say it clearly, and they jumped out one by one, which was really caused by panic and disorder.

"Although your words are reasonable, your previous words have implied the meaning of Lord Ye. Otherwise, Lord Lu, why do you add an amazing decoration before you make it clear? He reacted quickly to make up for it.

But for this move, Lu Bingqing has been carefully studied, so naturally he will not be asked down by this. He smiled and said, "Does Lord Yin think so? Then let me ask, how can you feel when you know that these murderers of more than 100 people in the Fang family are related to the Ye family? What scares me not that the culprit of this matter is the Ye family, but that it has something to do with the Ye family.

I didn't expect that Lu Bingqing used to be very low-key, but this time his sophistry has become so sharp that officials around him really looked at him with new eyes. Even Ye Mingyang has to say secretly that this person is not small.

But he won't really say that. After thinking about it, he already has a way to deal with it, and said, "These three people are indeed a little involved with my Ye family, but I have driven these notorious thieves out of the house a few months ago." At this time, he will not tell the truth, let alone: "So what they did has nothing to do with my Ye family. On the contrary, Xu Jinghong, who was taken down before, is more suspicious!

"The enmity between him and the Fang family is well known, and there is also a lot of contradiction between him and my Ye family. At the beginning in the southwest, he assassinated the people of my Ye family. This time, he naturally wanted to kill two birds with one stone to use these three people. At this time, he could still put the blame on Xu Jinghong while getting rid of himself, and Ye Mingyang's on-the-spot reaction was not unpleasant.

"What Lord Ye said is very true, and it must be like this. We have seen Xu Jinghong's boldness with our own eyes, and with his resentment with the Fang family, it is understandable to do such a thing.

"Not bad, I think it must be like this. It was Xu Jinghong who used such a trick to kill two birds with one stone that drove us all around." Many vassals of the Ye family played their role again and made peace one after another.

Seeing this scene, Lu Bingqing couldn't help showing contempt, but he really couldn't find any rebuttal at this time. In order not to become the main target of the Ye family, he still has reservations about his words, but he doesn't want to give the other party a chance to transfer the blame to others.

"Lian Shangshu, now Xu Jinghong is in your prison. Should you talk about his interrogation?" Ye Mingyang hit the iron while it was hot and looked at Lian Chongru, who had been silent.

In fact, Lian Chongru has long wanted to tell the situation in prison, so as to finalize Xu Jinghong's crime. But he dared not say it at the thought of the deeply threatening note and that the mysterious man could freely enter and leave his mansion. Even if Wu Jingzi and Ye Mingyang wanted him to nod his head, he would not use his life to remove the thorns for them. After all, only by living can we have the opportunity to enjoy life.

And Wu Jingzi's mood at this time was a little contradictory. On the one hand, he was very dissatisfied with Lian Chongru's previous reaction, but at this time, he hoped that Lian Chongru would not follow Ye Mingyang's intention. It is much better to trap the Ye family than to remove Xu Jinghong, who is already insignificant and has no office. So when he looked at himself habitually, he naturally shook his head gently.

At this time, Lian Chongru finally had the confidence. After Ye Mingyang asked again, he said, "My Ministry of Criminal Justice has interrogated Xu Jinghong and his party members many times, but they insist that they have been wronged. They have never done such a thing. Moreover, they always mentioned that at the time of the incident, they were all in the capital, and it was impossible to appear at the post 20 miles away to attack the Fang family. And on this point, they said that many people in the Ming Dynasty could testify. In this regard, the subordinate is also very confused, so until today, the charges of Xu Jinghong and others cannot be implemented.

If Lu Bingqing's words and Ye Mingyang are still acceptable in surprise, the sudden reversal of integrity is too surprising him. He knows very well that Lian is from the Wu family, and Wu Jingzi's attitude just now is already obvious that he wants to kill Xu Jinghong, but why is it like this now?

After seeing the proud smile that had just disappeared on Wu Jingzi's face, Ye Mingyang suddenly found that the other party's change was actually done at his instruction. This made Ye Mingyang's heart sink suddenly. At this time, the most important thing is to get rid of himself. As for Xu Jinghong, he can find another way.

"I don't know who can prove this for Xu Jinghong and others?" At this time, Lv Zhonghe, who had never said anything, spoke. With his question, many people stood up and said that they had a banquet with Xu Jinghong and others in Fanlou that day. He and his brothers had indeed never left the restaurant.

In this way, there is more conclusive evidence, and at the same time, it also invisibly aggravates the weight of Xu Jinghong, who is not the murderer. At this time, Wu Jingzi pointed the finger at the Ye family, but Ye Mingyang just wanted to protect himself. The testimony of these people was no longer chasing and beating fiercely, causing another change in the situation.

"In this case, who will be the real murderer?" Lv Zhonghe asked again.

"This... is really difficult to infer. However, the subordinate thought that with Liu Siming, Pang Dingtian and Xue Muyao in hand, we would definitely find other people.

"Then the Gyeonggi government should pay more attention. Do you have any other ideas?"

Lv Zhonghe looked at the two people who most wanted to kill the case, but at this time, Ye and Wu both had new considerations, so they stopped talking and chose to acquiesce.

Therefore, at this court meeting, the Fang family's case was dragged on again. The only difference was that the suspicions of Xu Jinghong and others were completely cleared. That is to say, they will soon be released from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

On the other side, Cui, Chu and Xu, who watched the fight between the two directors of Wu Ye, also showed a clear picture. They knew that the court was about to make waves. Of course, all this would not happen until the situation in northern Xinjiang slowed down a little.

Subsequently, Xu Jinghong and his entourage were released by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the investigation of the other party's case was also abandoned because of the wireless request later. Naturally, no one bothered to find the murderer for them. Because of the resurgence of the war in the north, the court once again paid all its attention to northern Xinjiang. At the same time, Xu Jinghong, who was no longer in Beijing, gave birth to the idea of going to Wang Chong in northern Xinjiang...
