Deng Xu's expression was a little impatient: "Zhang Ping doesn't need to say anything else, just point out the murderer."

Lu Zhonghe struggled desperately under the palm of the yamen runners.

Zhang Ping bowed and said, "Sir, the real murderer mentioned by the student is Dou Fang, the Minister of Justice in the past."

As soon as he said this, the whole court was quiet.

Even Lan Jue couldn't think for a moment. He only listened to Zhang Ping and continued: "When the student heard the Chen Zishang case, there was something that he could not understand. Chen Zishang's article quoted his mother's poems, so he was not a stolen article. He didn't say such evidence earlier, and he would have to wait until his family was destroyed and the case was overturned for him. This is unreasonable."

When anyone is wronged, he will try his best to show evidence that can prove his innocence. Why doesn’t Chen Zishang?

Is it not, or is it deliberately ignored after saying it?

"Mr. Dou is a clean official. He has handled several major cases. The students have long admired his reputation. In the Chen Zishang case, he exposed the Chen family's family's assets, but he ignored this clue. The students found it very strange. There is also the death of Chen Zishang's mother."

Mrs. Chen was killed in front of the criminal department and deliberately picked Liu Yuan's official sedan when she arrived. This behavior seemed to be unable to do something or tell some truth, and she had no choice but to struggle in the end.

She was using her life to cry for justice. What did she know and couldn't say it?

"When the students found out the truth, they found out that Mrs. Chen was actually using her own death to tell the world the inside story of the case."

Deng Xu finally spoke again. He stared at Zhang Ping and said word by word: "What you said at this time is suspected of slandering the imperial officials. If you can't provide evidence, you will know the consequences yourself."

Zhang Ping did not answer, but only continued what he said just now.

"When the student was at Chassian Bookstore, he discovered something very strange. Six years ago, the literary party where Chen Zishang was convicted, Sixian Bookstore was one of the merchants sponsored."

Chen Zishang was wronged, so who can get his article and give it to Ma Hong immediately? Obviously, he is the person who sponsored the article.

Why did Ma Hong refuse to say until his death? Why did he frame Chen Zishang? Who was the one who gave him Chen Zishang?

Ma Hong and Ma Lian are from poor families. How can Ma Lian change their household registration and come to the capital as a Shu County person?

"All things are put together, Chen Zishang seems to have been framed by someone on purpose. These students can't figure it out, and there is one reason they lack."

The lack of the reason why Chen Zishang was deliberately murdered. With such a precise layout, the person who layouts is obviously not an ordinary person. Why did he do this?

Six years later, why did the second shopkeeper of Sixian Bookstore come up with another fake identity and kill Ma Hong's younger brother Ma Lian?

"It was not until Master Lan accidentally saw Chen Zishang's handwriting on the student's pawn and told the student an allusion that the truth of the case was revealed."

Zhang Ping took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was the inscription he dubbed in Chen Zishang's ancestral hall that day.

Deng Xu pressed his forehead and said, "Mr. Lan, you happen to be here. Can you explain in detail how can you see the truth of the unjust case six years ago in Chen Zishang's handwriting?"

Lan Jue said: "The officials also don't understand the truth. They just think that Chen Zishang's words are rare. Unexpectedly, someone in this dynasty will write such words."

He presented the rubbings from left to right, and even Tao Zhoufeng came up to take a look.

Bu Yifan said: "This is Wang Youjun's running script style. People in the world have learned it, and there is nothing rare."

Tao Zhoufeng frowned: "It's a bit strange. How could he write this letter?" He suddenly looked up, "Can it be..."

Lan Jue sighed lightly: "Mr. Tao saw that the words in this life were copied by Wang Youjun's Lanting book, but strangely, the copy was not written by Ouyang Lu, Yu Yongxing, Chu Henan or Feng Chengsu."

It is said that Emperor Taizong of Tang sent prime minister Xiao Yi to deceive the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" and couldn't let go of it. He ordered everyone in the court to copy the calligraphy, which was engraved on the stone, and gave it to the royal relatives and important officials and the Tianxia Academy.

The copies of Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Feng Chengsu and Zhuge Zhen are the most famous.

The true version of "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was burialized by Emperor Taizong of Tang. Those copies and stone carvings were gradually lost in the war. Only copies of Chu, Yu, Feng and Ouyang have been passed down to this world.

Zhang Ping said: "Mr. Lan's suggestion reminded students of something that happened to this dynasty many years ago. I believe you must be familiar with it."

Tao Zhoufeng half opened his mouth: "Can you,..." He sat back on the chair in shock.

Zhang Ping nodded slowly.

More than 20 years ago, this dynasty once had a sad and strange thing.

A small county in Qingzhou built a temple to dig soil and dug out a stone box from the ground. The county thought it was an antique and it was taken to the prefecture.

The magistrate of Qingzhou at that time was Chen Zishang's grandfather Chen Wending.

When the stone box was sent to the prefecture, Chen Wending's friend, Zhou Gong, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, returned to his hometown to visit his relatives. He passed by Qingzhou and was a guest at the Chen's mansion. He was proficient in antiques. After identifying this box, he concluded that it might be a Tang Dynasty object.

Chen Wending invited a craftsman to open the stone box. There was no gold, silver and jewelry in the box, and only a volume of silk book lying in the yellow satin lining. The book was written in the book, which was "Preface to the Lanting Collection", but it was not the copy of Chu, Yu, Feng, and Ouyang based on the font and signature.

Duke Zhou then repeatedly considered and looked at it, and speculated that this silk book was most likely a lost copy of Zhuge Zhen.

The place where the temple was built was originally a school in the Tang Dynasty. It was probably during the war in the late Tang Dynasty that the people in the academy sealed the copy in a stone box and hid it underground in order to avoid war.

It took many years before the light of day was seen again.

Chen Wending and Duke Zhou immediately wrote a letter to the court.

When the late emperor learned about it, he was overjoyed and ordered Duke Zhou to return to the capital immediately with the silk manuscript.

Duke Zhou then left Qingzhou and returned to the capital by boat. That night, he encountered water bandits on the river. The whole family and the young and old, and nearly 30 servants on the boat, were almost all buried in the river.

The ship was burned clean by a fire.

The case shocked the court and the Ministry of Justice under the order to investigate thoroughly. More than a month later, the case was solved. The murderer was a bandit in the riverside area. The bandit leader was named Niu Ba. According to his confession, he saw that Zhou Gong was a "author of the imperial envoy". There were many cages on the ship, so he became malicious and killed people. After taking gold, silver and jewelry, he set fire to the ship.

When he searched his nest, he found only gold, silver and other objects, and there was no trace of Zhuge Zhen’s copy of the “Preface to the Lanting Collection”.

Perhaps this copy has been buried in the sea of ​​fire and has been lost since then.

Niu Ba and a group of bandits were all sentenced to death, and Chen Wending also resigned from his official position due to blame.

Dou Fang was a disciple of Zhou Gongsui. Zhang Ping obtained the permission of Emperor Yongxuan and read the previous files. He found that Lord Dou had written to the court at that time and still had doubts about the case. He suspected that Niu Ba was ordered by someone, not just to rob money. However, he had just passed the imperial examination and was just a minor official, with a slight word and no evidence. The case was closed after Niu Ba and others were beheaded.

Lu Zhonghe's face was ashes and had stopped struggling. His hair dissipated as he was just struggling, revealing his half-bald head.
