Chen Fang quickly said: "Master Lu, you must not talk about things without evidence. Now the king of Shu is presiding over the case. If he gets caught, it will be very bad for the prince!"

Lu Xie said angrily: "What are you afraid he will do? King Jing has already been sent to follow Li Shan to inspect the irrigation facilities in various places. The other princes have not yet grown up. Who among the courtiers is full enough to eat and have nothing to do to offend the prince? As long as You're not blind, anyone can guess that this matter was instigated by the King of Shu!"

The chamber fell silent.

Chen Fang thought for a while and said to Zhao Dong: "Your Highness, we all know that the king of Shu must be behind this matter, but we have no evidence, and he is the chief judge, so we have nothing to do with him!"

"The only thing we can do to prove His Highness's innocence is to figure out why Jing Min wanted to bite His Highness back. It's not good for him. He can't live anymore. Why did he frame His Highness before he died? This doesn't make sense! There is also the matter of the letter, Jing Min must have known about it, the letter must be a forgery, what I don't understand is, who can imitate His Highness's handwriting so that it is fake, it is really terrible!"

Zhao Dong couldn't help but look at Young Fu Zhang Wei, stood up and bowed and said, "Young Fu, I'm still in a dream until now, those people's intentions are so sinister, they want to kill me, please Shao Fu clears up my doubts!"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhao Dong: "Your Highness, those letters were really not written by His Highness to Jing Min?"

The expressions of the other subordinates at the scene changed after hearing this, and Lu Xie was not happy on the spot, "Young Fu, what do you mean? Don't you know who His Highness is?"

Zhang Wei ignored Lu Xie's words and other people's expressions, and only looked at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dongdao: "Young Fu, I really didn't instruct Jing Min to do these things secretly. If I want to get money, I have a way, and I can get a lot of wealth in the shortest time, so why bother to do this? What about things that harm Daqian’s interests?”

Zhang Wei's expression softened a little, he withdrew his sharp eyes, got up and stroked his long beard, and said after a moment of pondering: "In the opinion of the veteran, Your Highness need not worry! Since His Majesty asked His Highness to stay in the East Palace and not go out, His Highness Just read books and practice martial arts in the palace with peace of mind!"

All the prince's subordinates looked at each other in blank dismay, what kind of way to deal with it, people are already going to put a knife on the prince's neck, and you still let the prince read books and practice martial arts with peace of mind?Isn't this letting the prince wait to die?

Except for Zhao Dong, everyone else looked at Zhang Wei angrily.

Zhao Dong bowed to Zhang Wei and said, "Please forgive me for being stupid, and please speak clearly!"

Zhang Wei said: "At this time, the relevant criminals have been imprisoned. If His Highness sends someone to contact these criminals, it may not only be useless, but may be used by the other party. Since the other party intends to use this matter to bring His Highness down from the throne of the prince , I will definitely try my best to catch His Highness. During this period of time, the more His Highness does, the more mistakes he may make. The best way is to do nothing!"

"Your Highness, you must know that Your Majesty is a Mingjun, a generation of Mingjun that is rare in the ages. Who can easily deceive His Majesty's insight and judgment? Your Majesty ordered His Highness to be banned from the East Palace. It seems that you have already doubted His Highness. What about His Highness? He is doing this to prevent His Highness from continuing to make mistakes. Colluding with Sogdian merchants to smuggle and do business is not a heinous crime. His Majesty will definitely not deprive His Highness of the crown prince just because of this. The old minister said it a long time ago. As long as Your Highness remembers not to commit the serious crime of treason, no one can change the crown prince!"

"In addition, Your Majesty does not allow other people to be the presiding judge, but the king of Shu is the presiding judge. Don't you think this is strange? If the evidence is forged by the king of Shu, and the confession of the prisoner is forced by the king of Shu , the king of Shu will definitely stop the flag and drums this time!"

Zhao Dong hadn't made a sound yet, but Liu Xian, the crown prince next to him, came to his senses and said, "Young Fu means that His Majesty already suspects that the King of Shu is behind the scenes, so he is deliberately asked to be the presiding judge in order to test Shu. king?"

Zhang Wei stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "It's a test, but it's also a warning! Your Majesty ordered the Chief Judge of the Three Jurisdictions to conduct a joint trial. Even if the King of Shu is the chief judge, can he really dominate the entire trial process and details of the case with one hand? His king of Shu is not so powerful yet, and the court is not established by him! Next, as long as the king of Shu does anything to frame the prince, it may leave traces, and the eyes of those court officials are not blind , they are some old foxes, it is not easy for the King of Shu to hide from their eyes!"

"At this moment, Your Highness must be calm. How could His Majesty not have the intention to sharpen His Highness in this matter? If His Highness can't calm down and act rashly, trying to save himself, the opponent will take advantage of the loopholes and make mistakes. Wrong, it will definitely disappoint His Majesty!"

Zhao Dong thought for a moment, then bowed to Zhang Wei and said, "Young Fu's words are thought-provoking, and I deeply admire them! Forget it, I'm studying and practicing martial arts in the palace these few days. I want to see what tricks my youngest can come up with. Come!"

The Palace of the King of Shu.

Zhao Ping walked into the lobby with a sullen face, followed by Zhan Shizhuo Bufan, and he waved to the servant girl in the lobby: "You all go down!"

The servants and maids retreated one after another.

Zhuo Bufan cupped his hands to Zhao Ping and said: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked you to preside over this case. Now it's over. The crown prince has been banned from the East Palace again. We can't do anything. We have time to find more evidence to convict the crown prince. The crown prince is definitely finished." Already!"

Zhao Ping turned around and said, "You are too happy!"

"Ah? This... why does His Highness say that?"

Zhao Pingdao: "Don't you think Father is very partial to my boss?"

"Your Majesty favors the crown prince? Is this... why didn't I see it? The crown prince is still grounded!" Zhuo Bufan was very puzzled.

Zhao Ping said: "Father promised to Shi Dayou that as long as he told the truth, he would send soldiers to send him and his whole family out of the country. Just retract the confession, isn't he favoring the boss, what is it?"

"Hiss—I heard His Majesty say that His Majesty really seems to be partial to the Crown Prince. Eh, no, His Majesty seems to have said that he will send someone to investigate. If Shi Dayou lies, he will kill his whole family!"

Zhao Ping shook his head: "Based on the situation at the time, it was a certainty that the boss was involved in this case. The confessions of several prisoners all confessed his crimes, and the evidence was ironclad. Under normal circumstances, this is enough to convict the boss, but His father just promised Shi Dayou that if Shi Dayou retracted his confession, his father would have a reason to conduct a joint trial of the three divisions, and let the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Yushitai all participate in the trial of the case. The matter of torture and confession cannot be concealed!"

Chapter 1103 Can't Find It

"The interrogation officials actually threatened, lured, and tortured the prisoner. The confessions of Jing Min and Shi Dayou are not credible. Do you think this case can be settled with just a few letters? If the boss insists on those few letters The letter was not written by him, it was written by someone imitating his handwriting. Could it be that the father really won the crown prince with these few letters? Unless the father himself has the intention of abolishing the prince, do you think the father Would you do that at this time? If you don't talk about others, just say my mother's test and he won't pass!"

Zhuo Bufan frowned, and said: "But Your Majesty appointed you as the presiding judge again. Isn't it convenient for you to find evidence of crimes for the prince? If your majesty deliberately favors the prince, why should you do this? Wouldn't it be better to change other ministers to be the presiding judge?" Not better, I can't figure it out!"

Zhao Ping shook his head: "If you think that my father asked me to be the chief interrogator so that I can find the boss's criminal evidence, then you are very wrong. He is here to make it convenient for me. He is testing me, right? You are warning me that if I frame the boss in the slightest during the trial process, he will definitely know about it, and then it will be my unlucky time!"

Zhuo Bufan was covered in cold sweat after listening.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

Zhao Ping thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid that Huang Dezhong will be sacrificed in this case, and the next investigation can only use normal means. I try not to intervene in the investigation and interrogation personally, and hand over the investigation and interrogation of the entire case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. , Dali Temple, and the chief officials of Yushitai to carry out the investigation. This king is only responsible for listening to the results. It is best to collect the boss’s criminal evidence. If there is no new discovery, this case can only be handed over to Father Huangsheng with the current evidence. Judge!"

Zhan Shizhuo of the palace could not help but feel very sorry: "Your Highness, in fact, as long as we plan properly this time, it is not impossible to pull the prince down, but just as His Highness said, His Majesty seems to be deliberately favoring the Prince. If we use means, His Majesty will definitely not like it, and this will make His Majesty loathe His Highness instead!"

Zhao Ping smiled wryly: "Father is not partial to the boss, he wants to be fair, but he is indeed partial to the boss, I and the boss are both his sons, he must have a bowl of water, the boss's temperament, the father is very clear , let’s try not to use this method in the future, if we overdo it, it will not be worth the loss!”

"What Your Highness said is true!"

Prison prison.

As night fell, the chill in the prison seemed to rise.

A series of iron gates were opened, and several jailers came in carrying rice buckets and pottery bowls and chopsticks.

"It's time to eat!" The head of the cell shouted, and began to order the guards to put food in ceramic bowls for the prisoners in each cell, and send them in through the small window under the cell door together with bamboo chopsticks.

Watching several jailers walk away, the prison head looked back, walked to the door of cell No. [-], leaned on the door and knocked on the door.

In the corner of the cell, a prisoner in prison uniform heard a knock on the door and came over.

The jailer said casually: "Master Huang, Your Highness asked me to bring you a sentence, Huang Dezhong, your family will be taken care of by this king for you. As long as this king is here for a day, they will have no worries about food and clothing."

After speaking, the prison boss left directly.

Huang Dezhong's face in the cell turned pale in an instant, and he took several steps back and fell to the ground.

After the last patrol, the cell head on duty led the guards out from the depths of the cell, and locked the iron doors one by one with iron locks.

When the last iron door was locked, the prison chief turned around and said to the guards: "It's getting late, brothers, go back to your room and rest!"

The jailers scattered lazily, and the cell boss also carried the keys of each cell and the three iron doors to the annexe on duty.

The guards huddled in the dormitory and pushed Pai Gow for an hour. In the end, everyone couldn't stand it any longer, and the game broke up. They went to their bunks to sleep, and the lights in the dormitory were blown out.

The entire prison fell into silence.

A man in black suddenly appeared inside the prison. This person went back and forth between the on-duty side room and the prisoner's dormitory. The whole process was silent, and then easily took a large bunch of keys from the waist of the sleeping prisoner in the side room.

The three iron gates were easily opened one by one by the man in black with a key. Oil lamps were hung on the walls of the prison corridor. He didn't make a sound, but quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

The feeling that the man in black gave them was too dangerous. The most sensible choice at this time was to choose to pretend to be asleep, pretending to be sound asleep. If the man in black found out that they were still awake, they might be silenced.

The man in black was walking unhurriedly with his sword in hand. There was a prisoner hanging on the door of a cell in front of the right. The man in black stopped in front of the cell door and turned his head to look. A belt, hanged?The man in black shook his head and continued to walk forward.
