Qiao Wei still had a dazed expression on his face, pointing at himself with his white index finger, which he had only grasped the pen on weekdays, with the innocent doubt on his face that even his political opponents would not suspect that he was faking it.

"Me?" Qiao Wei took a long time to turn the corner, "I am the envoy?"

Old man Han stood in the middle of the hall, pointed at Qiao Wei and shouted loudly, "It's you, your devil! Your Majesty! You must decide for those dead girls. They are all teenagers who did the crime."

No matter how loud old man Han yelled, no one in the hall believed him.After all, he abducted those girls, so it is impossible to shirk the blame with just a few words.He is not innocent!

Qiao Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he didn't even bother to explain, it was really nonsense.

An Zaizhong spoke in a timely manner: "Your Majesty, this villain who presumptuously bites a good person, would rather be stubborn than torture, and will not tell the truth."

The old man Han yelled that he was wronged, but he did not change his words. He insisted on pointing at Qiao Wei as the mastermind behind the scenes.

Qiao Wei is Yanyou's confidant, and has a relatively close personal relationship.Although the promotion is a bit sloppy, after taking office as a secretary, his style is extravagant and wasteful, he is very happy, and he has conflicts with Gao Situ, the money manager, but even Gao Situ doesn't think that Qiao Wei can do evil things.

Yan You nodded to An Zaizhong, and asked him to drag him down to beat him with a board, and then bring him back for further interrogation.

The guard dragged old man Han out like a chicken.

The old man Han shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I'm telling the truth! It's really him, I have evidence!"

As soon as the word "evidence" came out, An Zaizhong frowned.The case had not been progressed in his hands for two months before, and no evidence was brought up. It was suddenly brought up in the hall, which made people feel bad.He raised his chin lightly and told the guards to drag him out quickly.

But Yan You raised his hand and said: "Wait a minute. Let him be convinced. What evidence, please tell me."

The old man Han said: "Whoever comes, he will write a note to inform me. Although he asked me to burn it, I kept it. There are hundreds of them."

"Where?"

"My residence, under the mat where I sleep, one foot against the wall, buried there."

Yan You hurried to fetch it immediately to see if there was really a note.

Old man Han escaped a beating and knelt back to the hall.

Qiao Wei looked quite embarrassed, but he had to wait with him in the hall.

Wang He reminded Yan You a few words, so Yan You asked him to continue asking other questions.

Wang He asked again how the girls were kidnapped and sold, where the bodies were dumped, and so on.

The old man Han answered one by one, but his answers were similar to those before. Some of them could not be remembered, and he could only name a few distinctive girls.Most of the time, he used it in places where there were few people. He poured the girl's medicine back and locked him in a room in the city. The room was soundproofed, and the girl had nowhere to ask for help. down.

The girls were stubborn and refused to die, or they were ashamed after being lost, and some were ruined and thrown into the dry well after death.Naturally, no one checked the dry well at home, so nothing happened.

There were many bones in the dry well, and it took the Sibai Department a month to clean them up, but there were still three bones missing, but Old Man Han couldn't tell clearly, sometimes he said they were taken away, and sometimes he said they ran away.An Zaizhong suspected that he had other dump sites, but he couldn't find out.

Afterwards, the matter involved the Yin of Yan Ge City Mansion.Although some people lost their girls and dared not speak up, there were also people who reported to the governor.It's just that there is no body, and the peasants have no money to confess, so Fu Yin put a case on the record, so forget it, at most let people search around, so how can they find it.

Yan You was going to exile the Fu Yin directly, but there was no one to take his place at the moment.Although the Fu Yin is cunning and greedy for money, he has never committed any crimes, and he does not stand in line with the courtiers, so he manages the security of Yange City well.If they change, the qualifications are almost enough to replace them, most of them are from Qin Yanyan's faction, not to mention that the capital will be moved soon, and the governor's term is only a few months.

Wang He advised a few words.Yanyou changed the exile sentence into a fine salary.

After less than half an hour, the evidence mentioned by the old man Han was presented.A stack of hundreds of notes was thrown unevenly in the broken box, some old and some new.The note is one or two fingers wide, but the words on it are not written on it, but small pieces cut out of other things one by one. The small pieces of words are pasted on the note to form some simple meanings, such as Thirteen Days, two people, seventeen days, three people and so on.

"What kind of evidence is this!" Yan You snorted.This is just a note made by someone who collected Qiao Wei's words, and it cannot be identified as Qiao Wei's work at all.

An Zaizhong's face sank like water, and he clasped his fists and asked, "Master Qiao, is this your handwriting?"

Qiao Wei took a few notes and read them one by one, nodded and said, "It's my handwriting."

An Zai said in the middle: "Your Majesty, the criminal who fabricated evidence privately and framed the courtiers should be executed!"

He no longer dared to proceed with the trial. If the old man Han continued to slander, it would only shake people's hearts, and he would not be able to catch the culprit at all.

A nearly 50-year-old red-faced bearded man came out from the rank of the military commander, with a thick and strong voice like thunder rolling on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Although Mr. Qiao is a kind person, evidence must be emphasized in judging the case. If there is evidence, Mr. Qiao will use the evidence." He is a suspect, how can he understand it indiscriminately. Please make a clear judgment, Your Majesty."

Then behind him, a man in his 30s with pale skin and a clean shaven face also came out, and then analyzed: "This old man, who can recognize Master Qiao at a glance, must have been instigated by someone. The case, but the accusation case, is not a trivial matter. Is Mr. Qiao being so wronged for nothing? I will ask His Majesty to order a thorough investigation, and the old thief must not be killed."

These words already imply that An Zaizhong may be covering up the mastermind behind the scenes, as if he wants to destroy witnesses.

Behind the white-faced general appeared a small, chubby old man with a wrinkled face, his voice was as loud as those young generals, but because of his age, he couldn't help dragging his voice, and said: "Your Majesty! The old minister is bold. This person is clearly identified, and there is evidence. You can’t think it’s accusation just because of your personal likes and dislikes, and you should investigate it in detail! Mr. An, as the leader of the division, you actually want to beheaded because you don’t believe the evidence. Criminal, is this how you judge the case when you fail?"

These three people are all generals of the Yanyan faction.The brothers of the three of them, the father and the son are the generals who guard the northern and eastern borders of the Fire Nation, and their words carry a lot of weight.And although the three of them had different meanings, they all sang together to prevent An Zaizhong from beheading old man Han, and hoped that Yanyou would continue to investigate.

Yan You also respected these uncle-level ministers very much, so he could only say: "There are still many doubts about this matter, if the case is defeated, continue to investigate."

The chubby old man said again: "Your Majesty, Mr. Qiao is also under suspicion. He should be suspended and put in prison for investigation!"

"That's unnecessary." Of course Yan You believed in Qiao Wei in his heart.

The chubby old man said: "This evidence is weird, and it must be hard to believe if it is presented. Who knows if Mr. Qiao Wei is intelligent by nature, and he deliberately leaves this kind of evidence, so he casts doubts."

Qiao Wei's face turned red immediately, but he couldn't refute by himself.

Instead, Ji Sima, who is also one of the six divisions, stood up and said: "There is no evidence in this matter, and Mr. Qiao cannot be identified as guilty. It is really inappropriate to imprison the head of the sixth division because of a nonsensical accusation."

Gao Situ followed suit and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

Xia Sishi and An Sibai also clasped their hands together and said, "My minister seconded the proposal."

They are both in the Sixth Division, and they feel a little sad. Although they usually have different scores, they still can't watch the generals take this opportunity to attack civil servants.

Only Li Sibin was still standing there, with his head down, motionless, like an old monk in meditation.

The generals came out one by one, and the council should temporarily detain Qiao Wei, or at least suspend his duties to assist in the investigation.

The civil servants fought back in a row, and there was a verbal battle, which made Yan You feel dizzy.

He slammed the armrest of the throne, stood up, and shouted: "What are you arguing about!"

Only then did the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs quiet down, and knelt down to plead guilty, but they were still angry, it was so easy to be quiet.They were silent for a while, just waiting for Yanyou's next decision.

"I believe that Qiao Wei is innocent. Let's discuss this matter again!" Yan You said his order very clearly, "An Zaizhong, carefully investigate where the words on the note come from!"

An Zaizhong hesitated and said, "I need Master Qiao's assistance."

"Yes. But you can't be detained!"

An Zaizhong nodded in agreement, not daring to say a word.

Some people were dissatisfied with the result and wanted to speak up, but just as soon as they raised their heads, before they could speak, they heard the attendants shouting: "Retire!"

Yan You went out directly from the corner door of the main hall, leaving behind a room full of civil and military ministers looking at each other.

Zao Chaoshang's unhappiness spread to the Princess Mansion in a blink of an eye.Yanyan immediately entered the palace and waited for Yanyou at the door of the big study.

However, because of Xiaojun's fetal gas again, Yanyou got down and asked carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it.Immediately, he vented out the anger he had pent up early in the morning, scolded Xiaojun, and then went to the study, seeing Yanyan's face became even more gloomy.

Those generals were all handpicked by Yan Yan, they rarely spoke about North Korean affairs, they only raised some theories in military affairs to assist Yan You, today they suddenly launched an attack, and pointed at Qiao Wei, Yan You's direct descendant.

Even if Yan You spoke out to keep Qiao Wei, those generals would still look very dissatisfied.

Yanyan carefully did not mention the case, but instead opened up another topic, saying: "Recently there is a weird rumor that a ranger who came and went without a trace appeared in the city, wrapped in black aura, no one has seen it before. His true face. He is only called by his shadow, I wonder if His Majesty has heard of it before?"
