The minister of Dali Temple kept asking questions without giving anyone any chance to breathe.

Magistrate Hu looked helplessly at Marquis Yongping.

He had never thought about how this young lady who escaped from the Chen family suddenly became so powerful. She was so eloquent that even Prince Jin and other officials spoke for her.

Didn't Marquis Yongping say beforehand that he had the final say in the capital's territory and that the trial was just a formality?

So what's going on now that he's being forced to death on one side?

Seeing that Magistrate Hu couldn't resist, Marquis Yongping also knew that if he was finished, his end would not be too good either.

Magistrate Hu gave him most of the jade agarwood every year, and the emperor and courtiers had already positioned the two of them as colluding with each other. If Magistrate Hu killed someone, it was because he killed someone.

The Chen family's major contribution to the annihilation of the family was made public by Zhou. Even if the emperor wanted to protect him, he might not be able to do so.

Marquis Yongping adjusted his official uniform and said, "Master Zhang, I can say a few words."

The minister of Dali Temple smiled and said, "Marquis Yongping, please speak. I am listening attentively."

He looked respectful, his words were respectful, and his tone was respectful, but when he heard his words, they sounded full of ridicule.

Marquis Yongping was angry in his heart, but he could not get angry.

He used to be a junior minister in the cabinet, their immediate boss, but now that this layer of protection is gone, these people who act according to the circumstances have less respect for him one by one.

He straightened his expression, still acting like an upright and upright official, "Master Zhang has stayed in Dali Temple for more than ten years and has handled countless major cases. He should know that local officials can only solve cases by following the traces left by the thieves.

Let’s speculate. They are not gods, and it is not easy to distinguish the authenticity. In this murder case, even if the real murderer is not a bandit, how can we know that it is not the murderer who deliberately set up a mystery to mislead Magistrate Hu? "

Yongping Hou looked at the Minister of Dali Temple with power in his eyes, "If the prefect decides the case, but makes a wrong judgment, he will be convicted of the real murderer. Who else among the prefects would dare to be responsible? Or, Mr. Zhang, didn't he decide the wrong case?

when?"

Marquis Yongping's words were so sharp that the minister of Dali Temple was speechless.

Even if the Minister of Punishment tried his best to fight back, it would be in vain. After all, they had no evidence, and at this time they were just guessing out of thin air and taking advantage of the situation to attack people's hearts.

If Marquis Yongping had insufficient concentration, he might have been able to overcome his defenses and confess his crime. But he was determined and thoughtful, and could easily find flaws in the other party's words, which made the two ministers of Dali Temple sweat profusely.

Marquis Yongping was able to become the second minister of the cabinet, and his position was as stable as a rock. In addition to his ability to make money, he also had some real abilities.

Han Youning got up and walked to a place not far from Yongping Marquis. "My daughter admires the Marquis for his quick thinking. My daughter discovered something very interesting. Do you want to hear about it, Marquis?"

Marquis Yongping looked at the calm and calm little girl in front of him, always feeling that she was very different from when he saw her three months ago.

At that time, she was innocent and ignorant, and her emotions and anger were all so vivid that people could see through her at a glance. But now, although her eyes were clear and her expression was innocent, he suddenly couldn't see through her.

Moreover, her seemingly unintentional move ruined the chess game he had set up in Duke Dingguo's mansion, and his career, which he had managed for most of his life, was almost ruined in the hands of this little woman.

Maybe there is someone guiding her behind her?

Marquis Yongping acted like an elder and said kindly, "If you have any interesting stories, please tell me."

Han Youning said, "My little girl has carefully thought about what happened in the past three months and found that there are many coincidences. The Marquis arrived at Xiangping Mansion, and one month later the Chen Mansion was exterminated. This timing is very coincidental. My little girl was hunted down all the way to Beijing.

It was also a coincidence that they were almost killed under the eyes of Mr. Hou's sister and daughter. The Chen family's billions in wealth in Xiangping Prefecture were missing, and the dowry of the aunt of Duke Dingguo's Mansion also disappeared and flew to Mr. Hou.

It’s really a coincidence that it’s in the hands of the Marquis’ daughter.”

"So many coincidences happened to be piled up together. Mr. Hou said, isn't it interesting?"

With a smile on his lips, Zhao Chengyuan looked at the chubby girl who was shining brightly in the hall. It turned out that this little girl had been suspicious of Marquis Yongping from the beginning and had been planning and preparing for this moment.

She asked him to take away all the Chen family's treasures, which was just part of her plan.

Her greatest intelligence was that she secretly ran out of the temple to play without telling her grandmother.

Nowadays, all the agencies have been exhausted and we are trying to make ends meet step by step.

Wang Shaoqing, the young minister of Dali Temple who temporarily served as the recorder, praised "Good!" "It's great!"

He looked so happy that he had no idea that he had spoken out what was in his heart, and his pen moved like a dragon, recording every word that Han Youning said.

Marquis Yongping's already ugly face became darker and darker, and he said in a calm tone, "The county master is so sharp-tongued that he forcefully grabbed me. I finally saw it. If it's a coincidence, how come so many people died, but the county master was the only one?"

How about living a good life?"

He was curious. Chen Youning escaped quietly. After returning to Beijing, he lied that he had left a few days ago and never mentioned the oriole behind him that night.

He had always suspected that she had something to do with Huang Que, who arrived later. But he followed the clues to find out her whereabouts, and she indeed escaped from Xiangping Mansion by her own ability, without anyone secretly helping her.

He was determined to expose her lies, but that would be equivalent to not exposing himself, and he could only bury his doubts deep in his heart.

Han Youning looked solemn, "Some people take risks for fame, some for profit, some for wealth, and some for sex. What Yongping Marquis means is that I collude with others to kill my relatives, but I don't know what I want?"

Marquis Yongping said coldly, "This man's heart is unpredictable, and it's hard to say anything. What I say is just a metaphor. I would like to advise the county chief, what is needed to determine the crime of life and death is solid evidence."

He stood up and pointed to the beam crown above his head, "I am a cabinet minister and a first-grade marquis. The county master wants to convict me of death. Just a few coincidences are not enough."

Han Youning smiled and said, "My daughter is just talking about her doubts, but she does not have the authority to convict people. If the Marquis wants ironclad evidence, he shouldn't ask for it from my daughter. Besides, ironclad evidence in criminal cases should be found slowly.

Detention, torture, and verification all take time. The Marquis is so anxious to ask for it, I'm afraid no one can give it to you."

She looked at the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of Punishment, "Two adults, are you right?"

The two people who were named were shocked. The head of Zhaoping County was just a little girl, but he clearly saw the trial process of this criminal case.

Doesn't this mean that they should first detain the suspect, then torture him to extract a confession, and slowly find evidence?

Although this is a ruthless move, it is enough to detain Magistrate Hu. I cannot do this to detain Marquis Yongping.

The Minister of Punishment first looked at the faces of the King of Jin and the Crown Prince. He saw that one of them was careless and the other had a deep expression. He couldn't guess what they were thinking.
