A female servant turned out of the screen and took the slaves down.

Ji Wen also calmed down, thinking that in the face of the facts, no matter how he presented evidence, it would not make any difference.

It's strange to say that as the legal director of Jingzhao Prefecture, the word "fact" jumped into his mind and felt a little strange.

~~

A carriage stopped in front of the gate of Youxiang Mansion.

Du Mei and Du Jin held hands with each other and got off the carriage, walked into the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and waited in the veranda in the front yard.

They were temporarily summoned by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion, apparently for the purpose of the Xuanyangfang Villa.

Feeling the solemn atmosphere here, Du Wei's eyes became more worried.

"Second mother."

"It doesn't matter." Du Jin patted her hand and whispered, "We can just answer whatever the right minister asks."

The strange thing is that after they waited for a long time, no one came from the Youxiang Mansion to call them for questioning.

Just wait.

Du Wei couldn't help but wonder, and recalled that when she left the house last night, Xue Bai hadn't left yet, and was standing there thinking.

I don’t know what he did later in the Ji family’s house.

~~

A female maid walked into the lobby and walked around the screen.

"Alang, my slaves have asked, and all six slaves are sure that it was Xue Bai and the Tian brothers who committed the murder. But one of them said it was not them."

Li Linfu was not surprised and just asked: "Who is it?"

"The slave didn't see it clearly. She only said that it was not long after Xue Bai robbed the person that someone came to the other house to kill people. When she heard the screams, she hid in the flower garden and didn't dare to look. She didn't know anything else."

"It's normal to kill people at night without seeing them clearly." Li Linfu asked: "Is there anything else?"

"She said that she is a lowly slave and will be hanged to death if she dares to file a complaint against her master. Please don't tell me that she told the truth."

Li Linfu, the dignified prime minister, rarely asked about these details in person. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Let Luo Qiang check."

"Here."

After all, they are just specious things.

Li Linfu was getting older and hadn't slept all night. He couldn't bear it anymore. He closed his eyes and thought that he might as well take all the suspicious ones to trial.

It's just that although there are many people under his command, not many dare to risk their lives to deal with the East Palace.

It is not appropriate for Wang Xie to investigate, Ji Wen and Xue Bai are biting each other... After much calculation, there is only Luo Xishi.

Presumably with this order, Ji Wen will give some benefits, and Luo Xishi will definitely find out that Xue Bai colluded with Dong Palace, a group of losers.

Just as he was thinking about this, Cang Bi rushed over.

"Alang, we just found important physical evidence."

It was a piece of paper that had not been burned cleanly. The four words "See the word and obey the order" could be recognized on it. The calligraphy was excellent, and a corner of the seal could also be seen.

Li Linfu narrowed his eyes slightly and recognized the seal.

The official seal of the East Palace.

This piece of paper is indeed an order for the subordinates of the East Palace to communicate with each other.

"Where did you find it?"

"There are traces of paper dust stuck to the bottom of Jixiang's boots. Jixiang must have been present when the letter was burned and accidentally stepped on it."

Li Linfu turned his head suddenly, murderous intent evident in his eyes.

Cang Bi was startled and said quickly: "No wonder Huangfu Weiming's case was unable to touch the East Palace. Is it possible that the dogs we have raised for two or three years are not yet mature?"

He is a confidant of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He really does not lack Ji Wen's filial piety. He is afraid that Li Heng will ascend the throne. He also personally went outside the city to check whether it was true that Xue Bai was buried alive in the East Palace.

Isn't a wolfdog who "repays favors and repays debts" more useful than a stupid dog who picks up shit and eats it everywhere?

~~

In the hall, everyone was tired after experiencing too long a silence.

Finally, a junior official from Jingzhao Mansion reported: "Right Prime Minister, Wu Kangcheng has arrived."

When Ji Wen heard this, he suddenly understood a lot of things. He trembled and shouted, "I understand! It was Xue Bai who harmed me intentionally. Right Prime Minister, Ji Wen admitted that he was eager for success and misunderstood Yang Zhongcheng..."

"Misunderstand?!"

Yang Shenjin's anger finally broke out. He stood up suddenly, pointed at Ji Wen and cursed: "You said it was a misunderstanding now?! How dare you let me raid your home?!"

Ji Wen was so anxious that he didn't even bother to pay attention to Yang Shenjin, and just explained to Li Linfu.

"Young Minister Mingjing, the reason why I misunderstood Yang Zhongcheng is because Xue Bai and Wu Kangcheng colluded. They took advantage of my desire to win credit and deliberately defrauded me. Right Minister, Wu Kangcheng is not allowed to question, but can only be tortured to extract a confession!"

"

"There is no need for a trial." Li Linfu said calmly.

"Here."

Wu Kangcheng, who had just been brought here, was actually taken away again like this.

Ji Wen was overjoyed, knowing that he had found the key.

He struck while the iron was hot and cried loudly: "Right Prime Minister, it turns out that Xue Bai framed Ji Wen in all this. Please make the decision for Ji Wen... My son, he died so miserably!"

Xue Bai became calmer and calmer.

What slaves and sons, more than thirty people died, does Li Linfu really care about these?

There was a lot of arguing tonight, but no one was arguing about a key issue - where the dead men in the East Palace were hidden.

Li Linfu already knew the answer to this question, because Xue Bai said yesterday afternoon that he was at Wang Weang's villa, and Guo Qianli found out after the fire at Wang's villa in Daozhengfang.

No one in the hall mentioned it, it was just that they didn't dare to mention it.

Li Linfu dared to mention it and asked: "Wang Fei, what do you think?"

Wang Fei remained silent for a long time, as if he was asleep. At this time, he quickly made a cross-hand salute and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, can you please allow me, my stupid brother, and my incompetent son to express my gratitude to you in private?"

Report?"

He described Wang Welding as "stupid".

Because Wang Wen does seem a bit stupid, it doesn't affect his career as an official, but he is clearly not smart.

"allow."

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

~~

The king wanted to report secretly to the Prime Minister, so everyone in the hall had no choice but to go out and wait in the corridor.

Ji Wen looked around and asked Yang Zhao, "What do you think of Yang Canjun?"

Yang Zhao said nonchalantly: "You are all too serious. Didn't you just mess up your errand? Next time we find the hiding place of the dead men in the East Palace and raid it, that's it."

"I really doubt Xue Bai, my son..."

Yang Zhao didn't care about Ji Xiang's death and interrupted: "Then you will find the hiding place of the dead men in the East Palace and steal it. When this is done, the right minister will not keep Xue Bai."

Ji Wen was stunned for a moment, but he knew that it was Yang Zhao who saw clearly, and asked: "Am I okay this time?"

"As I said, didn't you just mess up the errand? It's not like you ransacked Wang Langzhong's house."

"That's good if you see it this way..."

Ji Wen calmed down and remembered his original thoughts.

He knew that Wang Fei had long resented Yang Shen Jin deeply, and this was the biggest reason for him to dare to search Yang Shen Jin's house.

This move can win Wang Fei's favor.

In fact, Wang Fei can decide today's matter with just one sentence.

And people like Xue Bai and Guo Qianli dared to suspect that Wang Fei's brother was harboring the dead men of the East Palace, and they didn't even know how they died.

~~

After waiting for a while, Li Linfu did not call everyone back to the hall.

The three members of the Wang family came out of the lobby. Wang Xian called Luo Xishi and whispered a few words. After that, he said loudly: "The right minister is exhausted, so let's all disperse. Let's get this matter done as soon as possible."

Ji Wen was greatly surprised. He didn't expect that the dispute would only end lightly after such a long dispute.

"But, Xue Bai colluded with the East Palace..."

He was still shouting, and Luo Xishi patted him on the shoulder.

Ji Wen turned around and asked, "What did Wang Langzhong say to you?"

Luo Xishi did not answer immediately. He waited for a moment before asking.
To be continued...
