The person who came was none other than Lan Yitian, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He had been to Daxiangguo Temple since last night and spent the whole day investigating last night's case.
At this time, I didn't even have time to change my clothes, and I looked completely dusty.
Behind him were Master Liu, the minister of Dali Temple, and two inspectors and censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, forming a gathering of the three divisions.
Lan Yitian walked directly to General Hu and said, "Master Hu, your actions have violated the laws of our court. Because of your actions, the troops of the five cities have put all twelve gates in the capital under martial law. Thirteen relatives
Military guards have also lined up in front of the palace."
His expression was serious and serious, "General Hu, you are not stupid. Have you thought clearly about what this means? Do you really want to do this?"
His words made the soldiers following General Hu feel scared.
They join the army to earn a bright future and shine on their families, but they don't want to get involved in rebellion for no reason like this. This is no joke, the lives of their families are at stake!
General Hu turned his eyes on everyone's faces and suddenly laughed up to the sky, "Hahahaha, you bastards, don't think I don't know. You are all from aristocratic families that have been rooted in this capital for decades.
During our interactions, who is not related to whom? In daily life, you have a relationship with me, and I have a relationship with you. I leave things to you?
That is to say, there is nothing wrong with that surnamed Wen. Looking back, I will just find someone who is harmless and can be used as a scapegoat.
Hu didn't have such great ambitions, he just wanted to avenge the fifth prince because of his kindness, and now he was given such a big label!
Hahahaha, what a law of this dynasty, what a three-level judicial review! The officials protect each other, and they connect with each other, so you don’t have to be disgusting in front of Hu!"
These few words scolded everyone present, and Changxing Hou's face suddenly turned ugly.
However, he still handed the sword to the attendant beside him because he knew in his heart that if General Hu cursed these words, today's fight would not be fought.
"General Hu, I don't know. Apart from this guard, do you have any evidence to prove that I killed the fifth prince?"
Wen Tingyuan, who had been criticized by General Hu but had not spoken a word, suddenly spoke.
So many things happened just now. The person who confronted General Hu was Prince An, Marquis Changxing, and even Princess Danyu, but there was no such person.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about this man, and no one was surprised why he never came out to defend himself.
It was only then that everyone remembered that General Hu had always been targeting this person!
Princess Jiahe stared at Wen Tingyuan with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see some clues from his face.
She found that she was actually conflicted.
She knew that she should believe General Hu's words, after all, he was hers, but looking at this face, she hoped that General Hu's words were wrong. How could Wen Tingyuan kill her fifth emperor brother.
General Hu's eyes widened immediately because of his words, and the long sword that he did not withdraw immediately pointed at Wen Tingyuan, "My son, Wen family, someone is supporting you now, and you actually want to deny it!"
Wen Tingyuan smiled faintly and said, "General Hu, have you ever heard of the term "one who listens and one believes"?
As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms and handed it to Lan Yitian calmly, "Because Mr. Wen was seriously ill, Mr. Wen left Beijing and rushed to Nanzhou for a visit ten days ago. And because the sixth son of the Changxing Marquis Mansion got married today,
I promised early that I would not be absent, so I have been traveling day and night to get there."
He pointed to the document in Lan Yitian's hand, "This is Wen's route guide. It has the seals of various states. Wen is now submitting it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for inspection.
General Hu will not think that Wen still has such great energy and can bribe all the government officials from the capital to Nanzhou for his own use!"
Lan Yitian had already read through all the documents, and then handed them over to several fellow officials from Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After several people read it, they all nodded. Lan Yitian unfolded the document in front of everyone, "I and my colleagues from Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate made a preliminary identification and found that it was indeed the official seal of each state. However, further comparison work,
We have to go back to know for sure.”
General Hu glared angrily, "Young son of the Wen family! Since you have this certificate in your hand, why didn't you just show it out? It's obviously something fishy!"
"General Hu!" Wen Tingyuan smiled faintly, "If I had taken it out just now, I would not be able to see even a word of this document by now! You have already determined the answer in your heart, how can you still do it?
Do you believe my evidence?"
He said, bowing and saluting Lan Yitian and others, "But Wen, as a scholar, as a student of my Daqi, I firmly believe in my Daqi's laws. Right and wrong are left to the arbitrator, rather than relying on hands."
The weapons or power inside."
Marquis Changxing immediately agreed, "Yes, regardless of family background, status, or official position, we are all subjects of Daqi and obey the laws of Daqi. If everyone does not believe in the law, everyone will not believe in sitting in the mirror.
If you don’t support the officials below, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?”
As soon as he said these words, everyone immediately cheered.
General Hu's eyes fell coldly on Wen Tingyuan's face. He was not that kind of educated person to begin with. He had to learn to argue with others later. How could he be their opponent at this time?
He has already seen clearly that he cannot take the life of the man in front of him today.
Not only is it impossible today, it will also be impossible in the future.
"General Hu, there is one more thing. The guard next to you can tell you when the fifth prince died unexpectedly?"
General Hu turned to look at the guard.
The guard was almost dead at this time, and he was holding on with only one breath. He looked at Wen Tingyuan with lightning eyes, and only gave three words, "The sky will be bright."
As soon as these words came out, before anyone else could say anything, today's groom official sneered and said, "That's nonsense. Last night, Zingyuan entered the city when he was ugly. Because I got married today, the three of us and the fourth son of the Song family were together in Wuwei."
Drinking in the building is not something that only two people can see."
Prince An also laughed, "Wuwei Building is opened by the Fifth Prince. This matter is an open secret in Beijing. Other buildings are afraid of the curfew, but they never care about it. General Hu doesn't know about it, right?"
The way everyone looked at General Hu now changed completely. His so-called evidence at this time was almost clearly false evidence.
People can't help but think of the accusation made by Prince Anjun just now. Did he really have an ulterior motive for entering the city today?
General Hu was also completely stunned. His eyes moved back and forth on the faces of the three of them, and then fell on the guard.
However, Lan Yitian had already taken out the small notebook he carried with him, recorded the words of the few people just now, and then ordered the people next to him to collect evidence.
"General Hu! You are so brave!"
Amidst the lights, the Seventh Prince and his people came in force.
