Chapter 149 Mr. Zhou, how do you explain this?

Chapter 149 Mr. Zhou, how do you explain this?

Chapter 149 Mr. Zhou, how do you explain this? (The last day to ask for monthly tickets)

At the same time as the three judges were trying Zhao Duan in the Dali Temple, on the other side.

The capital of Dayu.

At the west gate, the soldiers guarding the city were taking over as usual. When the new defenders walked up the city wall, stood on the majestic city at their feet with weapons in hand, and looked to the west.

The people queuing to enter the city were like a string of ink dots scattered on the ground.

"yawn."

A soldier couldn't help but yawn, rubbed his eyes, and subconsciously moved his gaze into the distance, hoping to wake up by looking into the distance.

Then he blinked and saw at the end of his sight, on the horizon, a black dot approaching at a very fast speed.

He couldn't see clearly at first, but when the enemy came into the range of the crossbows of the defenders, he finally saw clearly that it was a galloping horse.

The horse's hooves were raised, and the speed was almost floating on the ground, raising a trail of dust on the ground behind it.

The rider on the horse was actually a dusty "female general"!
He is riding a horse and waving a whip, looking heroic, with his hair tied into a ponytail at the back of his head and a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

Seven days ago, the owner of the Narcissus Hall, who had left the capital, shouted at the people queuing at the city gate on his horse:
"The imperial court orders the police to return to the city, and get out of the way!"

……

North city gate.

Zhang Han, who was exhausted from the journey, stopped his horse at the city gate and asked condescendingly:

"Has anything happened in the capital these days?"

The gatekeeper was acquainted with Zhang Han, and said with a strange expression:

"You're back just in time. Hurry to the Dali Temple, or there might be more excitement to watch. Today, the three courts are trying Zhao Duan together. I'm afraid your Lihua Hall Master is not far from death."

Zhang Han's face suddenly changed.

……

"The evidence I've been waiting for is here."

In the court, when Zhao Duan said this loudly, the air was silent for a moment.

Immediately, people who thought the dust had settled were stunned.

His eyes involuntarily fell on the young priestess who suddenly broke into the court.

Some people were unfamiliar with him, but many people recognized this disciple of the Heavenly Master whose style of doing things was very different from that of ordinary people.

Zhao Duan's words were echoing in my mind, but I felt more and more confused.

"evidence?"

Ma Yan's eyes lit up, and for no reason, his heart suddenly settled down.

At this moment, he looked at the smile on Zhao Duan's lips and recalled that the young man looked like this on the day when the traitor was caught.

It was a smile that showed one was in control of the overall situation and had everything planned out.

"The Lord has finally spoken!"

Qian Kerou was in the crowd, excited and said on tiptoe:
"It turns out that the master is not admitting guilt, nor is he speechless, but is waiting for the evidence to be sent to him!"

Shen Juan, Hou Renmeng and Old Man Zheng were all perked up, their eyes burning, realizing that a turning point might have arrived.

"evidence?"

In the hall, Yuan Li's eyes showed interest and he glanced at Zhou Cheng next to him.

The gavel in his hand was still hanging, but the verdict he was about to pronounce had come to an abrupt halt, and a momentary uneasiness appeared on his deeply wrinkled face.

"Priest Jin Jian?"

The Minister of Justice, who had a low sense of presence, was surprised to reveal the girl's identity, and then looked at Zhao Duan:

"You said you have evidence?"

Zhao Duan waited until the commotion in the crowd had calmed down a little, nodded with a smile, and said:

"That's right. Just now, Lord Zhou repeatedly interrogated witnesses and presented physical evidence, accusing me of raping and murdering Su Hongyu, and then asked me if I had anything to say."

His tone was brisk and calm.

Although he was wearing prison uniform and shackles, standing in this majestic and solemn lobby, he did not look nervous at all.

He walked slowly and calmly, his eyes swept across the faces around him, and his voice suddenly became louder:
"Of course I have something to say!"

He looked at Wang Shan, the doctor, the coroner, Su Hongyu's uncle and aunt, and other witnesses, and said with emotion:
"There are so many witnesses, confessions, and detailed, interconnected evidence. It must have taken a lot of effort for you, Mr. Zhou, to arrange everything so well."

The gavel in Zhou Cheng's hand finally fell with a "bang". He had no expression on his face and shouted sternly:

"How dare you, a criminal in the hall, disobey me and frame me? What is your intention?"

"False accusation?" Zhao Duan smiled and said meaningfully:
"Master Zhou, don't you feel guilty for saying this?"

Then, without waiting for Zhou Cheng to respond, he continued:
"Fortunately, when I learned that Qin Qiu was missing and suspected of being kidnapped by you, I realized that you might want to do something to me, so in order to protect myself, I had no choice but to make some arrangements."

That day, he used a mirror to see Qin Qu in prison, and he guessed that Zhou Cheng was going to attack him.

He decisively summoned Jin Jian and asked her for help, and secretly followed Zhou Cheng, and as expected, he gained something.

This was also the reason why when he went to arrest people later, he waited until the two of them had finished their conspiracy before breaking into the building.

Just waiting for the evidence to be collected!
Arrange? Arrange?
At this moment, the expressions of everyone in Dali Temple changed significantly.

Many people outside the hall were also concentrating on the performance.

"Mysterious!"

In the jury box, He Zheng sneered, but the slight tension between his brows revealed his inner uneasiness.

The arrival of the golden tablet already means some kind of signal.

If it's just a trick, will it alert the disciples of Heavenly Master to come?
"Priest Jin Jian, I am disabled, so please take out the evidence I left with you and show it to everyone in the hall today."

Zhao Duan took in everyone's expressions, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"Okay." Jin Jian looked like he hadn't woken up yet and was very sleepy.

She also didn't like this kind of occasion, but she still reached out her hand politely and took out a palm-sized scroll from the cloth bag at her waist.

When the scroll was taken out, many people's faces changed slightly and they recognized this thing.

Video reel!

When Zhao Duan first traveled through time and met the county magistrate of Ning'an, his "rival" Zhang Changshuo bleeds profusely and spent a video reel to record the process of his meeting with the other party.

In the court of Dayu, officials who have reached a certain rank are no strangers to this thing.

For example, when Feng Ju met Zhao Duan on the boat, he repeatedly played dumb in order to avoid being recorded and leaving any evidence. What is in this scroll?
What was recorded?
No one knows, but it arouses people's endless imagination.

In the hall, Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes, but he remained calm, because someone in his position would naturally not be completely unprepared for this kind of magical weapon.

The fiery red emerald ring on his hand, the size of a pigeon egg, is a treasure that can sense the fluctuations of magical power.

Once being spied on by magic, it will respond with warnings.

He subconsciously thought that something went wrong with the way his subordinates were doing things.

Or maybe Wang Shan was tricked into revealing something during the days he was in the imperial prison.

However, the next second, when Jin Jian unfolded the scroll and transferred the magic power, all the images and sounds recorded in the scroll were projected into the air in the form of a "light curtain".

Zhou Cheng's face suddenly changed and he was no longer calm.

What appeared on the light curtain was the scene of that day when he invited Wang Shan to meet him in Hele Tower.

This was also the scene before Zhao Duan arrived.

in the painting.

Wang Shan was all smiles: "My Lord, you summoned me today. I wonder if you are thinking of the past and came to me to reminisce about the past, right?"

Zhou Cheng said: "...I am looking for you, not for anything else, but only for one person."

"Who?"

"Zhao Duan!"

As soon as this scene began and the sound was heard, the expressions of the people present suddenly became subtle.

The following conversation is the real killer move.

"How about the woman you sent?"

"Speaking of this, I also remember it vividly... In the end, Zhao Duan actually tied up his concubine, threw her aside, and slept all night long!... He said that he only had the saint in his heart, and heaven and earth could bear witness to it."

"How can you be sure? Explain it in more detail!"

"What the adults are reminding me of is..."

"Where is that woman? I want to see her."

"Your Excellency, it is clear that Zhao Duan killed people to silence them, showing no respect for the law!"

In the painting, Zhou Cheng laughed loudly, raised his glass, and collided with it:
"Today I finally understand how you gained the favor of the eunuch..."

At this point, the picture stopped abruptly, the light curtain disappeared, and Jin Jian, who was acting as the projectionist, silently rolled up the scroll with an innocent look on his face.

Quiet.

There was a sudden deathly silence inside and outside the court.

The next second, someone dropped something in his hand, making a noise.

The crowd buzzed and made a loud noise!
It was like the water in a pot boiling. Many of the jurors from the Dali Temple stood up in shock. The files in He Zheng's hands were scattered to the ground, and his face was as pale as paper.

He subconsciously looked at Zhou Cheng in the hall, only to see that this minister, one of the Nine Ministers and the one entrusted with the care of the young emperor, was also stunned.

The only word in my mind is "impossible".

I was clearly wearing a ring that day, why...

When he caught a glimpse of the golden tablet that looked like it had nothing to do with me, he suddenly came to his senses.

Yes, the magic weapon can prevent general peeping, but what if the person who is eavesdropping and recording is the old master’s direct disciple?
Then it makes sense that they didn't notice it.

His eyes went dark and he almost lost his composure.

Yuan Li and the Minister of Justice beside him suddenly looked at him with pity in their expressions.

In the jury box.

A smile appeared on Ma Yan's stern face.

Sun Lianying looked like she was asleep, but as he already knew the inside story, he was not disturbed at all and even felt like laughing.

The group of witnesses also turned pale, especially Wang Shan. His legs went limp and he fell to the ground, his face pale and his smug look gone!

Outside the hall, everyone in Lihua Hall could not hide their joy.

"I said, Your Excellency is absolutely innocent!"

Qian Kerou's round face was red due to excitement.

"My lord... No wonder, when he took us to catch people that day, he was not in a hurry at all and even let us eat first." Hou Renmeng realized it belatedly.

"As it should be. I said that the day the adults were taken away was unusually peaceful."

Shen Juan was amazed, "So it was already arranged."

Old man Zheng was smiling and looking relaxed.

The crowd of onlookers around were in an uproar.

No one thought that the "evidence" Zhao Duan produced would be this.

He did not explain Su Hongyu's death.

There was no response to the carefully woven evidence.

His response was simple, like a knife, cutting through the fog and going straight to the core.

Once this video recording is released, just Wang Shan’s words in the video will be enough to overturn the charges in this case.

The ambiguous "hints" in Zhou Cheng's words put him, the presiding judge, in the spotlight.

"It's so... Zhao Jisi's loyalty to His Majesty is admirable!"

"This Wang Shan and this group of so-called witnesses are truly unscrupulous people. They are slandering Envoy Zhao with their lies!"

"Zhou Tingwei has already met Wang Shan... This..."

There was a lot of discussion and the wind direction immediately changed.

With just this one piece of evidence, Zhao Duan will not fall today. Not only that, it is even possible that the emperor's favor will be even greater.

Who can withstand the saying "There is only a saint in my heart, and heaven and earth can bear witness"?
But, having said that, licking to this extent and not touching the beauty even when she was offered to him was a bit... Everyone felt a mixture of admiration and contempt.

I think Zhao Duan is seriously ill...

"Lord Zhou, how do you explain this?" In the hall, Yuan Li looked at him with a smile.
