To say that the most miserable people in the court recently are the officials of Dali Temple. They just solved a bunch of solved cases that Chu Shangshu dug out from Feixialou and Luming. looks.

The case was directed at the commander of Jin Luanwei before. It was a hard bone. Guan was indeed in prison, but because the emperor and Chu Shangshu let it go, they could not be beaten, nor could they be scolded. What name can be judged?

And now, Chu Shangshu himself has been involved. It stands to reason that this time the trial will be better, but when Chu Bandit walked slowly to the gate of Dali Temple, his pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling casually glanced at him, and he was not angry. , everyone couldn't help but went up to pay respects on their own, as if Chu Bandit came to Dali Temple to drink tea after condescending.

Entering the office of the Dali Temple, I saw Shen Mingwei sitting in front of the hall drinking tea, before he could speak, Bandit Chu stepped forward and raised his hand to salute, and said first: "It is said that Dali Temple has something to ask me, I am here now , Mr. Shen, may I ask, I will go back to have dinner."

Shen Mingwei sat upright, and said with a smile: "It is said? Master Chu, that is solid evidence. On the day of the prime minister's assassination, you were very close and stayed very late at Bili Pavilion, which was uncharacteristic. Now there is another person in your house The servant can't bear to see you assassinate important officials in the court, so he came to Dali Temple to report the case, and presented you with an arrowhead that was privately used by your mansion. After comparison and verification, it is the same as the assassin used when the prime minister met the assassin. Master Chu, do you have anything to argue about?"

Chu Bandit laughed twice: "I don't know which slave is so betraying the master for glory? And what a shame he is, I can allow him to get my private arrowhead."

"It doesn't matter if Mr. Chu doesn't recognize it now, the people from Yushitai have already requested an order to search the house, and we will find out when the time comes."

"Then wait and see." Bandit Chu sat down on the chair next to him, took a sip of tea, and said, "I hope Yushitai can be faster, after all, this minister is also eager to prove his innocence."

Shen Mingwei didn't speak, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. In those scheming eyes, it was obvious that he had a plan in mind.

The other officials in front of the hall saw that the two senior officials had a positive face, but they were actually competing openly and secretly.

An hour later, the people from Yushitai came back with Chu bandit's innocence-the Chu mansion did not have the physical evidence such as the arrow clusters mentioned in the report, and there were no other relevant clues.

Shen Mingwei looked at Bandit Chu with a calm and composed expression, smiled, and said: "Master Chu is so fast, so fast that I missed it."

Bandit Chu hissed, and said: "Master Shen, you and I are members of the Sanju Judicial Department. What we pay attention to in handling cases is evidence. If there is no evidence now, then I am innocent. Why do you let you say it?" Patting the ashes on the robe, he said, "Since there is nothing wrong, I'll go back first."

"Lord Chu, wait a minute." Shen Mingwei stood up, half-closed his eyes and looked at Bandit Chu, knowingly asked, "I wonder if Master Chu knows Li Village, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple under my command?"

Bandit Chu smiled, turned his head sideways, raised his eyebrows, and asked knowingly, "Oh? How can I make friends with people who know Dali Temple?"

"But he said that he is very familiar with your lord." Shen Mingwei raised his hand, after a while, the jailer brought up a prisoner and grabbed his hair, under the unkempt face was Li Cun.

"It seems that I won't be able to eat today's dinner." Chu Bandit turned and sat back on the chair, looked at Li Cun, and asked casually, "Then please tell me, Mr. Li, when did I meet you? I am a little The images are gone."

"My lord, you can't deny it!" Li Cun immediately walked over and grabbed Chu Bandit's clothes like a ghost, "You said that you were the one who planned to kill the prime minister by cooperating with me inside and out!"

Chu Bandit smiled, leaned over and patted Li Cun on the shoulder, and said, "Li Cun, if what you said is true, aren't you betraying your companion? If you go into the cell together and stay together, you won't come out at once." Hope is gone."

Li Cun quickly shook his head and said sadly: "No, the guilty minister is a person with a wife and children. As long as I confess the truth and atone for the sins caused by a momentary mistake, the Lord is merciful, and my family will be killed!"

"Li Village has already explained everything. The secret letters you exchanged, the property you sent, and the plot to assassinate the prime minister with your officials of the Ministry of Punishment have all been stolen." Shen Mingwei turned to look at Bandit Chu, He smiled and said, "Li Cun just confessed this morning. The inscriptions and all kinds of physical evidence are there. Why don't you take a look at it yourself, Mr. Chu? But I don't think you need to read it. Come on, someone, take the prisoner Chu Bandit down!"

Bandit Chu raised his hand to avoid the jailer, and laughed suddenly, slightly insane. The prisoner faced him, and no one dared to come forward.

Shen Mingwei got up, and reprimanded: "The evidence is convincing, what's so ridiculous about refusing to punish him!"

Bandit Chu raised his head and pointed his chin at Shen Mingwei, extremely arrogant, and said loudly: "I laugh at you, Shen Mingwei, who has been the secretary of Dali Temple for ten years in vain, and dare to let a fake Li village testify against me as a third-rank official. If you don't do anything, you should be executed for the crime!"

"Spoken nonsense!" Shen Mingwei raised his head and pointed at Chu Bandit, and said angrily to the Prisoner, "Don't take it down quickly! Do you want me to turn around and punish you?"

Chu Bie smiled: "I see who dares to touch me today."

The Prisoners were in a dilemma for a while, and what was urgent was that they broke into a cold sweat on the spot.

Suddenly, there was the sound of drumming outside.

Soon, a yamen servant rushed in, clasped his fists and saluted: "Report! There are people beating drums and complaining of grievances outside."

Shen Mingwei said impatiently: "I'll try again later, let's go down first."

"My lord, this person's identity is extraordinary, it is Li Muyun, the son of Li Village, who reported the unjust case of bandits killing his father!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, and looked at "Li Village" in prison uniform in front of the hall.

After Zhao Liangyue went down to the court, he was sent back by Jingmo, thinking that there was nothing to do today, so he hugged Abai to watch the falling flowers in the courtyard.

After a while, someone came to visit, Youbai turned down from the eaves and opened the door, Zhao Liang saw Xiang Mian and Han Ting from a distance.

The two had never appeared at the same time like this before, they always staggered tacitly, and there was a posture of not seeing each other, but today, for some reason, they both appeared, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

Zhao Liangyue recalled that Xiang Mian once complained once in a while, saying that Han Ting was just a little boy, and he knew how to seduce those girls who had never seen the world, and he was not as good as the little fat guy he thought before.

And Han Ting also said that Xiang Mian, a dandy who has been bullying the weak since he was a child, is the person he hates the most in his life. Dealing with him is like being with a tiger, which makes him despise.

But today... there is no trace of disgust and disdain.

Could it be that something unexpected happened?

Even Zhao Liangyue became curious, and when the two sat down, he asked, "Today, did the sun come out from the west?"

The two looked at Zhao Liangyue suspiciously, then looked at each other again, suddenly understood the meaning of Zhao Liangyue's words, and burst out laughing.

"When will the suspicion be resolved?" Zhao Liangyue poured a cup of tea for each of them and asked.

"It's also fate." Han Ting shook his head, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, do you remember that I beat up the Jingzhao Mansion at Bili Pavilion, which caused a commotion in the capital that was known to the whole city?" Ya that matter?"

"I did hear it. It was Brother Xiang who told me."

Xiang Mian heard the words, and said: "I was also hearsay at the time, and because of this, I misunderstood him, thinking that he is really like the rumors in Beijing, dissolute and unrestrained, only picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

"How about it, is it a slap in the face now?" Han Ting frowned, and said cheerfully, "In fact, I donate money with righteousness, and I am chivalrous and courageous."

"It's because I don't know Mount Tai. I don't know that the young man you rescued is actually a phoenix in trouble after cleaning up officials." Xiang Mian hurriedly cupped his fists at Han Ting and said, "There are so many masters in Yuan Ting, I can't wait to see you." Blame it on me."

Han Ting also clasped his fists at Xiang Mian, and said, "Don't worry about it, don't you find out and try to redeem his innocence? That's not easy. I've tried for a long time but haven't succeeded."

I saw the two talking, and immediately drank a cup of tea as wine.

Zhao Liangyue looked at the two of them, and thought to himself, "We all greeted each other affectionately, you're my courtesy - but, seeing that Han Ting's face regained some of the youthful vigor of the past, he smiled from his heart." , Zhao Liangyue felt that Xiang Mian was another kind of bell-breaker.In life, fate is mysterious, and it is a blessing in life to have such friends who share our worries and joys.

Afterwards, the few people chatted about other things, from which new wine was delicious, to whose lady was as beautiful as a flower but married a scorpion, to the fifth prince looking for Xiao Rong with a shy face, They are all gossiping little things, but they are infinitely fun to talk about.

But for some reason, Zhao Liangyue felt that he was gradually unable to get in the way, as if he and the other were the owners of the yard, and he was the guest here.

When it was getting late, Uncle Song began to light the stone lamps, and Xiang Mian and Han Ting got up to leave.

Han Ting invited: "Brother Zhao, we're not going back to the house right now, we're going to the west of the city, there are people from the Western Regions to perform tonight, and it is said that they will use a special flute to control snakes, do you want to join us? go together?"

Zhao Liangyue thought that when Jing Mo left, he said that Bandit Chu had gone to Dali Temple to discuss matters with him, so he said, "You guys go, I'm tired today."

Han Ting nodded, instead of inviting repeatedly like in the past, he just smiled and said, "It's okay, just accompany me if you want."

Xiang Mian was already out of the hospital, he turned around and said, "Yes, I'll just stay with him."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." Obviously he rejected them, why did he feel abandoned by both friends at the same time?

Zhao Liangyue looked at the figure walking away side by side, frowned slightly, and asked Youbai beside him: "Do you feel that the two of them are like brothers?"

"My lord, it sounds quite similar." Youbai thought for a while, and said, "But lord, you also feel the same way when you are with Chu Shangshu, it's obviously different from others."

Zhao Liangyue frowned for a moment, then felt that there was some reason, and said: "Speaking of which, he and I are also brothers in the same school."

Later, Jing Mo came and said that Bandit Chu had urgent matters to deal with, so he gave a letter to Zhao Liangyue, saying that he was waiting for him to read it, and if he had anything to say, he would turn around and tell Bandit Chu.

Zhao Liangyue then opened it up and scanned it again, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Is it possible that the case of Han Cheng's assassination finally came to your lord today?"

Jing Mo sighed, and said: "Master Zhao, your guess is accurate. My family has been in Dali Temple since the next dynasty. At noon, people from Yushitai searched Chu's mansion according to the order. If the adults hadn't prepared for it, they would definitely have been killed."

Zhao Liangyue thought for a moment, and said: "The emperor probably won't investigate, most likely Prime Minister Han joined forces with other officials to make a statement, and there is nothing we can do about it."

"Then what is Mr. Zhao's opinion on what is said in the letter?"

"Don't bring up the Ningzhou disaster case in a hurry." Zhao Liangyue instructed, "Ningzhou is a serious matter, related to the two major crimes of disaster relief, embezzlement and private opening of iron mines. The Wang and Han families will definitely think of a perfect plan to suppress it. At this time, Whoever loses his temper first loses."

Jing Mo laughed and said, "Sure enough, it's exactly what my lord said."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." Then your lord sent you to ask me?

Bandit Chu is simply falling ill again!
