    The physical evidence had just been overturned, and the witness testimony was changed in court. All the officials in the hall felt that they were going crazy. He Jian coughed and beat his chest hard. Daishan, the censor of Zuodu, coughed until his face turned purple and his eyes rolled frequently. The government officials were in a panic.  , and kept patting the elderly on the back and soothing their chests.

    Zhu Houzhao didn't sit still and laughed so hard that he secretly gave Qin Kan a thumbs up while laughing.

    Although he didn¡¯t know why the witness changed his confession, Zhu Houzhao didn¡¯t care. Anyway, it was definitely Qin Kan¡¯s doing, and he was no longer suspicious.

    The hearts of the three hearing officials including Xing Zhao suddenly sank to the bottom. They looked at each other and found that each other's expressions were extremely ugly.

    "You are so bold, you dare to change your confession at short notice! Are you do you want your life?"

    "Xing Zhao, you are so brave. The court is presided over by our Sanfa Division. When will it be your turn to interrupt? If you say one more word, I will kick you out of the court!" Zuodu Censor, who has been silent all this time,  Dai Shan rubbed her chest, gasped and pointed at Xing Zhao angrily.

    Hearing this, Xing Zhao hurriedly bowed his head in response. The imperial censor is affiliated with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dai Shan is his immediate boss. Xing Zhao's various abnormal and unbecoming behaviors in the court today have made Dai Shan very dissatisfied.

    He Jian frowned deeply. It seemed like an ironclad case could not be overturned. Now the physical evidence has been lost, witnesses have retracted their confessions, and the case is turning in an unpredictable direction. It is certain that Du Hong will not be convicted today.

    "Witnesses in this hall, please tell me the truth as soon as possible. I would like to remind you that this case has been heard by heaven. I will send people to implement every word of yours in detail. If there is even half a sentence,  If you make lies, I will punish you!"

    A witness knelt forward for a few steps, lowered his head and sobbed: "Your Excellency, on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month last year, Wang Peng of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau sent someone to the prefect's Yamen to ask for help, saying that there were troublemaking weavers attacking the prince's official post.  The situation was urgent, Master Du summoned more than ten yamen servants from the yamen that is, we people, and hurried to the official post. When we arrived, the prince had been beaten to death by the angry weavers. Master Du saw that the situation was already over.  It was uncontrollable. If the order was given to arrest people, thousands of people would riot. At that time, the weavers were angry and out of control. Master Du tried to persuade the weavers, but he never gave an order to kill the weavers. I dare to guarantee it with my life!  "

    "You said that someone threatened the lives of your whole family and gave false testimony. What's going on?"

    "When the incident happened, Mr. Du was trying to comfort the weavers. Everyone was persuaded by Mr. Du to disperse in twos and threes, but suddenly a dozen men in black appeared out of nowhere and slashed at the crowd with knives. After killing them, they quickly  After leaving, thousands of weavers saw the murder. They did not dare to make trouble again and fled one after another. Master Du ordered people to pursue the murderer to no avail, so he had to collect the victim's body, ordered the city gate to be closed, and wrote a memorial  Ben, sent someone to deliver it to the Chief Secretary of Zhejiang Province. Unexpectedly, the messenger was shot and killed for no apparent reason, and Mr. Du was also put under house arrest by the officers and soldiers sent by the Chief Secretary. Moreover, our family members were also held hostage. Someone asked us to give perjury.  Put the murder of the weaver on Mr. Du's head, otherwise the lives of the family will be at risk."

    "Who wants you to give perjury?"

    The witness hesitated for a moment and said: "The villain doesn't know his identity, but when he heard them talking, he accidentally mentioned that after doing this, Mr. Cui will be heavily rewarded"

    As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court took a breath of cold air.

    Well, things are gradually becoming clearer, Du Hong is not guilty, and the real mastermind is closely related to Zhejiang Chief Minister Cui Zeng.

    He Jian, Dai Shan, and Liu Yan gathered together to discuss a few words in a low voice, and then He Jian said solemnly: "It is said that Cui Zeng, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province!"

    ***************************************************  *************

    The case shocked the court, and people heard it. As an important witness in the case, Cui Zeng naturally came to the capital early. The trial started today, and Cui Zeng had been waiting to be summoned in the side room next to the hall.

    Cui Zeng was not only the chief envoy, but also an important party member of Liu Ji. Sitting in the wing, drinking tea leisurely and listening to the trial process in the courtroom, Cui Zeng showed a sneer on his lips.

    It¡¯s simply childish!  Do you think you can escape by secretly using a trick to get the government officials to retract their confessions?  Fortunately, Liu Ge had been on guard for a long time. Even if the government officials retracted their confessions, it would not help, because his Cui Zeng's testimony was more important than those of the government officials, not to mention

    Cui Zeng reached into his arms, and there was a letter hidden in his arms. In the letter, it was vividly written in Du Hong's handwriting that he impulsively and mistakenly issued the order to kill the weavers, and asked him to save him for the sake of his subordinates and colleagues.  With the words of fate, this letter and Cui Zeng's personal testimony, how could Du Hong escape?

    He is dead!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

      ¡­¡­¡­

    He Jian's voice as a witness came from the court. Cui Zeng smiled coldly, stood up and straightened his clothes. With a cold murderous intent on his face, he slowly walked out of the wing.

    The wing room is located on the left side of the court hall. It is specially designed for witnesses to take a rest during the trial and wait for the summons in the court. It is only about fifty steps away from the court hall. You can walk outside the court hall through a small garden.

    Cui Zeng¡¯s steps were very slow, and he followed a standard civil official¡¯s eight-character step. He took one step, paused, and then took the second step.

    The chief envoy is in charge of the administration of a province. He is a second-rank official, second only to the minister of the dynasty in terms of rank. His self-cultivation, demeanor, manners and behavior naturally reveal his official authority.

    As soon as he set foot on the pebble path in the garden, a figure suddenly appeared among the bright red peonies, blocking Cui Zeng's path. Cui Zeng was stunned, but he saw the person in front of him was wearing a white official uniform. He was dark and tall.  Honest and honest, the visitor smiled silently at him, and took out an extremely delicate black wooden box and a letter from his arms. Cui Zhen took it subconsciously, without making a sound, the visitor smiled at him again, and then stepped away.  No one was seen.

    Cui Zeng frowned and opened the box curiously. When he saw the contents in the box, his expression changed drastically. He then unfolded the letter and glanced at it briefly. Cui Zeng's face suddenly turned pale, with cold sweat falling from his forehead. His expression was full of despair and fear.  His steady body was shaky, his eyes blinked a few times, and his eyes quickly turned red.

    Standing alone on the path in the garden, Cui Zeng was in a daze. He didn't know how long it had passed, until He Jian's impatient urging from the hall came from afar. Cui Zeng was agitated, and then he came back to his senses and lowered his head to look again.  When the letter appeared unexpectedly, Cui Zeng looked pale, smiled miserably, and let out a long sigh.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the court of the Ministry of Punishment, He Jian stared at Cui Zeng expressionlessly and said: "Witness Cui Zeng, I want to ask you, is it true that Du Hong, the prefect of Shaoxing, killed thirteen weavers?"

    Cui Zeng¡¯s face was as pale as a cloud, and even his voice seemed to come from a distant place.

    "Du Hong's murder of the weavers is nothing. This case was committed by this officer under the instructions of others and has nothing to do with Du Hong!"

    Boom!

    The court of the Ministry of Punishment suddenly exploded.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
