Generally speaking, if a person chooses to perjure, he or she either wants to frame some people or protect himself or others, and the madam undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

"Who is so lawless?"

"No matter who it is, we must investigate it to the end!"

"Yes, I believe the imperial envoy will definitely bring the murderer to justice!"

...

When the people and scholars heard that Lin Weiran wanted to summon the people who were in the Lotus Pond that night, they immediately condemned them in anger and looked towards the direction of the office with hatred.

Not long after, a group of yamen staff arrested the people locked up in the office. However, as the suspect was brought here, they couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out to be a young man like Xu Yuanji.

Many people realized that Xu Yuanji and others had been detained, not because of the petty imperial envoy, but for today's public trial, to investigate the culprit of the killing of Chen Xiaoxiao.

"What a great master of the sky!"

When the people and scholars in the hall saw that these young men were taken to the court, they sincerely admired the imperial envoy.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty has always had the tradition of "officials protecting each other", and often choose to open the Internet. Even the former magistrate of Chun'an, the King of Hai Yan, sent Hu Zongxian's son back according to his name, instead of doing it directly

Do the law.

But now, this imperial envoy brought the son of the Prince of Dali Temple in Nanjing, the son of Chen Xian, the son of the transferee of both Huaihedu, and the son of Li Yu, the son of the Ministry of Revenue Li Yu, and other senior officials to the hall. He was already trying to deal with the people involved in the case.

Perform punishment.

"What should be come or not!"

Xu and Li Yu looked at the young men appearing, and their faces became solemn. Xu Yu was worried that Xu Yuanji would implicate his teacher Xu Jie, while Li Yu was worried that his son would implicate him, but they all knew that the initiative had fallen into Lin Qiran's hands.

It's right.

It is also at this moment that Yangzhou City, which used to be like an iron barrel, is now likely to be severely damaged. Not only is the location of Yangzhou Prefect He Dongxu and Nanjing Ministry of Revenue Li Yu, the position of the Ministry of Revenue, was not guaranteed, but even the Transportation Envoy of both Huaihe Rivers

Affected.

If all three big shots are down, then Yangzhou City will inevitably usher in a new round of reshuffle. But, this imperial envoy also has a father-in-law of the Minister of Personnel, and Yangzhou City may have a change in surname Lin.

"The students have met the imperial envoy!"

Xu Yuanji and others finally saw the light of the sky. At this time, they came to the hall, but thought it was for the past to collide with Lin Weiran, so their behavior seemed to be very calm.

These young men are either children of the government or sons of the great salt merchants. Even if they are not talented, they will still be able to get a donation of their lives. They all studied in the Imperial College of Nanjing, so they do not need to kneel down.

Lin Weiran saw the reactions of these young men and asked lightly: "Do you know your guilt?"

"Imperial envoy, I just wanted to seize the small lotus pond building at that time, and I didn't mean to offend you! If you still feel unhappy, I am willing to receive the punishment. I just want to not take my anger on other innocent people!" Mr. Chen and Xu Yuanji

He exchanged a glance and bowed with support.

Why……

The people and scholars in the hall looked at the young men who thought it was that little thing, and even attacked Yu Lin Qingran with insidiousness, and couldn't help but shook their heads gently.

Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly and said angrily to Mr. Chen: "When you come here, don't you look at who is kneeling in the hall?"

Huh?

After listening to Lin Junran's words, Xu Yuanji and others found that the madam was actually kneeling here.

Facing their surprised gazes, the madam responded helplessly: "Young Master Chen, the imperial envoy has found out that Chen Xiaoxiao died in the lotus pond that night. You should have all caught it!"

ah!

When Xu Yuanji and others heard that this was the case, their faces suddenly changed, and they looked up at Lin Weiran in shock.

I thought Lin Qingran deliberately used the mighty power of his imperial envoy because of his petty heart, so he locked up all of them. But he never expected that he would find them even more for Chen Xiaoxiao's case.

Lin Weiran saw their reaction and asked lightly: "Tell me! Who did it? Who is the murderer who killed Chen Xiaoxiao, or you killed Chen Xiaoxiao together."

When things got to this point, they were one step closer to the truth. Chen Xiaoxiao drowned in the lotus pond. Although the truth was not known, they were no longer inseparable from their relationship.

When Mr. Chen learned that the madam had confessed, he felt both hatred and resentful, but he quickly replied: "Chen Xiaoxiao's death has nothing to do with us. She fell into the water and drowned from the Jiuqu Bridge!"

"Yes, yes, it was Chen Xiaoxiao who drowned himself!" After hearing Mr. Chen's words, the young master next to him agreed.

Xu Yu and Li Yu couldn't help but exchanged glances. Unexpectedly, Chen Xian's son was so anxious. It's no wonder that Chen Xian always loved his son very much.

this……

The scholars and the people in the hall looked at them all, but they couldn't help but feel distressed.

If these young men reach a tacit understanding, even if they are really the murderer of Chen Xiaoxiao, they can still be completely defeated and thus cover up the truth.

Lin Xuran seemed not surprised by this, and even asked Mr. Chen and others seriously: "According to my investigation, the bright moon was hanging high that night, is this true?"

"Not bad!" Mr. Chen hesitated for a moment, and knew that this matter could not be denied, so he simply answered honestly.

Xu Yuanji frowned slightly, but looked at Lin Qingran with vigilance. Others might not know, but he knew that this kid was extremely powerful and was even regarded as a threat by his uncle.

Now that Lin Weiran was able to find them so quickly, it also proved that this person was extraordinary and was indeed not comparable to a confused official like He Dongxu.

Lin Weiran's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the young masters and said, "Since that's the case, Chen Xiaoxiao's movements in the water are quite constant, but I wonder who are you there that night?"

this……

Mr. Chen and others were stunned again, but they quietly looked at Xu Yuanji.

"I...I'm not here!" A short and thin rich young man raised his hand and said cautiously.

Lin Xuran looked at him, but nodded unexpectedly and said, "You are the young master of Mr. Huang's family. You are not in the Litang that night. Then you go first!"

"Let's go, but where?" Mr. Huang couldn't help but be confused when he heard this.

Lin Weiran frowned slightly, and immediately responded: "Of course I can go wherever I want!"

"I...I can go home!" Mr. Huang pointed at his nose and looked incredible.

You know, the Huang family is just an ordinary salt merchant. Now he offended the dignified imperial envoy. His father has already prepared a high-quality coffin for him.

Lin Qingran looked at him as stupid as he was a little cute, so he said patiently: "Although you intend to kill me that day, I am not a petty person! As long as you have nothing to do with Chen Xiaoxiao's murder case, you can be in charge.

Release, go home and reunite with your loved ones!”

"Sir, I was drunk on the second floor of the Water Pavilion that night. I didn't know that Chen Xiaoxiao fell into the water. Please give me a clue!" A tall and thin young man's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately raised his hand to prove his innocence and said that he would like to prove his innocence.

.

Lin Qingran nodded without comment, and asked, "I will not wrongly accuse a good person, but I will not let a bad person go. As long as you can prove your innocence, you can release him in court! Mr. Zhou, you said you

I fell drunk on the second floor of the Water Pavilion, but I don’t know who can prove it?”

"It was the wine they had filled. When I was drunk, they would definitely know!" Mr. Zhou pointed at the young master next to him with confidence, but found that they all avoided his gaze, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of slightest change.

He said anxiously: "Brother Chen, Brother Fan, you..."
