Volume 1 Covering the Sky with One Hand Chapter 12 The Old Man

"Starting from Zhen Yi's unjust case is a good reason to be in the limelight." Liu Junyue sat upright. She thought for a moment and asked, "Then what's our next step?"

"The private correspondence between Yanzhou Mujiang Zimo and the frontier fortress is extremely strange." Liu Taijing picked up the pot and poured the tea, "Guess."

"The letter was intercepted. The problem lies with the person who sent the letter. Jiang Zimo is a state shepherd with a deep city. The person he chose must be a member of the Jiang clan or a close confidant. I guess..." Liu Junyue pressed her lips to think, "This

Was the person intercepted?"

"Yes." Liu Taijing nodded slightly, "But, it's not entirely right."

Liu Junyue just took a sip of tea, and immediately frowned and smacked her lips: "Why is it so bitter... What do you mean by not being completely right? Yes is right, you are always hiding things, please speak up!"

"The person was indeed intercepted, but the person was also changed, and the time before and after was wrong. Think about it, it is a long way from Yanzhou to the frontier fortress, and the exile team was almost at Daizhou, so the letter was received." Liu Taijing

His fingertips flicked across the flickering lights, "Jiang Zimo had great foresight. He must have sent the letter immediately when he learned the news of Zhen Yi's execution. However, he was intercepted on the way, and the matter was subsequently reported to Pang Boyi for a decision.

Pang Boyi only had to wait for the team to arrive at the frontier fortress, deliver the letter, and then wait for the generals at the frontier fortress to send the people out. Using the trick, Jiang Zimo was trapped in prison. "

"But they didn't expect that Zhen Xie escaped, and the trap he laid didn't catch the prey!" Liu Junyue suddenly realized, "No wonder the case from four years ago has been kept until now. To catch the thief and get dirty, Pang Boyi only had letters, and Jiang Zimo killed him.

I wrote a letter, but someone framed me!"

"So, Chongdu now sends people to Yanzhou to try the case. Logically speaking, Jiang Zimo will be sent to Chongdu to be handled by Ting Weizheng, left, right and third supervisor." Liu Taijing nodded with satisfaction, "But now there is a

Although the messenger is concerned with Yanzhou Mu, he cannot report it to Emperor Jingcheng because Pang Boyi wants to cover up the situation and secretly deal with Jiang Zimo and Yanzhou."

Tingwei is divided into two main prisons, the left and right prisons, and is in charge of the imperial edict and the trial of large and small cases across the country.

Zhou Mu's illicit affair with the frontier fortress was a major case, but it involved a small person with no official or title, and there was no real evidence. Although Emperor Jingcheng usually only cared about having fun, Pang Boyi still didn't dare to report it. He had something to worry about, but no one knew it.

What reason.

Liu Junyue was curious and asked: "How do you know so clearly?"

"More friends and more paths." Liu Taijing glanced at her slowly, "There are quite a few Taoists serving as officials in these nine states. Just ask around."

"I see, then Jiang Zimo still has a glimmer of hope." Liu Junyue couldn't help but admire his brother's mind, "But this old man is too miserable. Yanzhou has floods all the year round, and he manages it in a sound way. This time he got into trouble.

No one in the court could say a good word for him."

"The Jiang family was silent. In the early years, the Jiang family's daughters entered the palace draft, but the Jiao family took the lead and became the queen. There was no one in the palace compound to smoothen the relationship, so it was difficult to find a way." Liu Taijing said earnestly, "The road to power and desire is the path of heaven.

The dark road is slippery. One wrong step will lead to an abyss."

Liu Junyue heard the sinister meaning in the words, and she asked seriously: "But what does Jiang Zimo have to do with the Huachuan fire?"

Liu Taijing fell silent, and after a while he looked at his sister: "He was also present on the fireworks boat, but he got off the boat because of busy business, and not long after, the boat caught fire. Speaking of which, he is the most suspected of arson here.

That's him."

Liu Junyue said hurriedly: "Then you still save him?!"

"He was not the only one involved in the fire on the flower boat. Over the years, I have found out the mastermind, but I also want to find out the rest of the small fish and shrimps." Liu Taijing stood up and walked to the door to watch the rain, saying in a soothing tone.

, "If Jiang Zimo is involved, I would only save him to kill him with my own hands."

"If the messenger was arranged by Pang Boyi, there must be something in Pang Boyi's hands." Liu Junyue followed his brother's gaze and looked at the light rain in front of the door, "Besides, Tingwei came to Yanzhou in person, so he is so confident, Pang Boyi must have made all the arrangements.

Now. What are you going to do?"

It was windy and rainy outside, and Liu Taijing looked into the sky, his deep eyes reflecting the rainy night that was as turbid as black water.

"He has a good plan." Liu Taijing said with a playful smile, "I have a wall ladder."



After a table of food was cleared, Master Qizhou shook his legs and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick.

"It's a colorful world outside, and you two are still young." Master Qi Zhou spat out a piece of meat, "Have you decided?"

"It's decided." Yuan Ji rubbed Qi Zhou's little feet vigorously, "Join the world and break the inner demon——"

"Check out your mother's life experience." Master Qi Zhou said for him, then turned his head and spat out the residue, "Damn it, it would be beneficial if you were willing to find out about your mother's life experience and break your inner demons." He said and turned to look at the smoking pole at the door.

Jiang Guo, "But what are you going to do?"

Jiang Guo had cried today, but now with a cold face, she opened her mouth and said, "What does it have to do with you that I go to see my grandpa?"

"Hey--"

Master Qi Zhou stood up with a long voice, and the muddy yellow soup in the copper basin splashed all over Yuan Ji's face.

Wuting hurriedly stopped him and comforted him: "Master, it's a good thing for junior sister to go see grandpa. When Jiang Guo was a full moon, the old man climbed all the way up the mountain and gave more than ten loads of gifts. She remembered love and was filial."

"Why the hell are you not being filial and filial to me?" Master Qi Zhou raised his neck, "I'm going to shit and piss you until you grow big. Is it easy? I, I can—"

Jiang Guo turned his head suddenly, his eyes red. He was so frightened that Master Qi Zhou suddenly lost his courage and muttered angrily.

"Master said that Jiang Guo deserved it. She made the cucumber dish on the table today." Wu Ting pinched Qi Zhou's back, "Master likes to drink, and she brewed the bamboo leaves in the courtyard."

Yes, Master is afraid he has forgotten."

"Hmph, you're already old enough to get married, and you just know how to shoot cucumbers." Master Qi Zhou grunted in a strange manner, "Hmph, that's amazing."

Jiang Guo knocked the cigarette stick against the door, and said in a cold voice: "Old man, have I given you shame?"

"Hey! Look, good intentions are nothing." Master Qi Zhou pulled Wu Ting to let her comment, "Yanzhou Mu is squatting in prison now, how do you get in? Isn't it possible to rob the prison?"

Master Qi Zhou is worried about Jiang Guo's fiery temper. Jiang Zimo is her grandfather, and now he has white hair and is still in prison. If Jiang Guo sees him, will the cell be flattened?

"It's not like a prison robbery." Yuanji raised his sleeves and wiped his face. "Although the letter was discovered four years ago, it has been pending for so long and the trial has only started today. There is still room for detours."

Wu Ting asked in surprise: "Junior brother, are you saying Master Jiang can still be saved?"

"In the case of the letter, it was said that the person was sent to Yanzhou, but I escaped with the young lady. The young lady is not in Yanzhou, and the letter is just a piece of blank paper." Yuan Ji poured the footwashing water, "The main thing is the person.

The third prisoner, Tingwei, is here to hear the case, and the case can only be closed with human and physical evidence. Otherwise, it is unreasonable to convict just by talking empty words."

Qizhou Zhenren put on his shoes and walked across the street, saying: "That's true, but now the handwriting of the letter is indeed from Jiang Zimo, and the sender is also imprisoned. This person is Jiang Zimo's person. When the third prison arrives, it will be so...

After the first trial, the case will probably be closed."

Yuan Ji took the handkerchief and wiped his hands and said, "What if this person didn't identify Mr. Jiang?"

"Didn't you identify Jiang Zimo?" Master Qi Zhou was stunned, "Then who will he identify?"

"Whoever sends him out to deliver a message will be identified by him in order to survive." Yuan Ji patted his robe, "As for who holds his life, he is his master."

Jiang Guo listened silently for most of the time, seemed to understand the meaning of the words, and then asked: "You mean he is not my grandpa's son?"

Yuanji's robe was covered with mud spots and could no longer be cleaned. It was hard to tell the original appearance of the black, white and yellow robe, so he simply took it off and crumpled the robe into a ball.

He looked at the indistinguishable clothes and said, "It depends on who the three Tingwei adults say he is."



The sun was rising, and the Yanzhou Prison was in disrepair for a long time. The roof tiles on the roof were dripping with rainwater. The afterglow of the sun shone between Jiang Zimo's eyes. He was disheveled. He stretched his neck and stretched out his tongue to catch the water. A few drops fell, and his dry lips were slightly

Moisturize.

There was a slow sound of footsteps, and three middle-aged men wearing mountain green soap robes stepped forward one after another, followed by the jailer holding a lantern.

"The prison is so dilapidated. How can it be without repairs?" The man in front of him raised his head and said, "I have really wronged Mr. Jiang."

The jailer understood the meaning of the words, immediately lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Yanzhou has floods every year. The prison has been dilapidated by floods in the past few years. Please bear with me, sir."

"Don't take it seriously." A person on the side held his crown slightly, "I and three other people have come all the way to be guests, Mr. Jiang is the host. But when we go to the court tomorrow, we will be sitting, Mr. Lao is kneeling, it is me and the others who are waiting for us.

Please bear with me, Mr. Jiang."

"Hey, second brother, Mr. Jiang is now over eighty years old, and he looks strong and strong." The man who spoke was thin, "How could he be angry with a weak scholar like me?"

Except for the first person, the latter two people were mean in their words. They looked coldly at Jiang Zimo and laughed endlessly while speaking.

Jiang Zimo turned his head and looked outside the wooden pillar. The old wrinkles were like ravines. When he squeezed slightly, he showed a calm smile: "The three heroes of the Chen family arrived, and they were greeted at a distance. I am now in prison with resentment, and the word "bearance",

I still need the three Tingwei adults to bear with me."

His words were hoarse, and his slow reading had the same calm and unhurried momentum as before, causing the three people to suddenly stop laughing after hearing it.

The Chen family is a family of legal scholars with deep roots in Chongdu. The three people in charge of Tingwei are Chen Qiusheng, Chen Pinggang, and Chen Jinqiu. The leader, Chen Qiusheng, serves as Tingweizheng, and the remaining two are his half-brothers.

The younger brothers hold the posts of imperial captain, left and right supervisor respectively.

Chen Qiusheng waved off the jailer and waited until there was no one around. He approached the wooden pillar and said, "I believe Mr. Jiang knows what we are doing when we come here this time. The evidence of the adultery case is now solid. When tomorrow comes,

Mr. Jiang is afraid that it will be difficult for him to see the clear sky and daylight again."

"Sir Chen's words are serious, the blue sky and the bright sun are right above my head." Jiang Zimo pointed to the residual light shining through the cracks, "If the three adults came here because of the letter, then I have said it and never written it.

"

Chen Qiusheng's eyes were cold, he stared at Jiang Zimo in silence, and then turned sideways.

Chen Pinggang was fat. He took a few steps closer and said with an angry face: "Jiang Zimo! You colluded with Liu Shuoyun, the frontier officer, to secretly take the remnants of the Zhen family to Yanzhou! There are all physical witnesses to this matter. You deny it."

Is it? You can't deny it. I know Zhen Yi is your son-in-law, but he is having an affair with foreign invaders and intends to do harm to me! But you are better off, eating the salary of the Holy Emperor and thinking about raising rebellious heirs. What? Wait for someone else
