Chen Guo looked up at Qiu Jungao in the hall, sneered, and said word by word: "The traitor who had a grudge against Caomin for killing his father and his hatred for taking his wife is now in Qiuyue County. This person has done many evil deeds in Qiuyue County, causing harm to one side, bullying men and women, and even taking human lives... Moreover, this person, Shangshu Qiu, must have known him, he has the same surname as the adult, and his name is Fang!"

"Quo Fang?" Qiu Jungao finally changed color and said in a lost voice: "You said... you said you want to sue Qiu Fang?"

"No," Chen Guo sneered: "Qiu Fang is the eldest son of the Lord, so of course he won't not know him."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

Seeing Qiu Jungao's pupils shrink, King Qi was immediately very happy and glanced at the prince, only to see that the prince's face, which had been as calm as water, had already fluctuated and his brows were slightly frowning.

Qiu Jungao seemed to be caught off guard, and the gavel sounded again and said in a deep voice: "Chen Guo, do you sue Qiu Fang for having a grudge against you for killing your father and a grudge for taking your wife, is there any evidence?"

"If there is evidence, will the adults handle it impartially?" Chen Guo also looked aggressive.

Before Qiu Jungao could speak, the King of Qi finally said: "Shangshu Qiu is an open-minded person, and his father has no dog son. Don't you talk nonsense here?"

"Of course, Caomin dares not speak nonsense. If there is no evidence, he will not dare to come." Chen Guo said loudly.

Qiu Jungao's eyes twitched slightly, but he remained calm and said solemnly: "I am in charge of a country's criminal affairs and seeking justice. He has never been to the matter but not the others. The Qiu Fang you mentioned is indeed the son of this official, but if you can prove that Qiu Fang really killed your father and took your wife, even if he is the son of this official, he will personally send him to the guillotine."

His voice was sonorous and loud.

Chen Guo laughed and said, "Okay, if you say this to the adults, Caomin dares to complain. Caomin brought witnesses and physical evidence. What should the adults see first?"

"Bring the witness!"

A moment later, three people were taken to the lobby. They were over fifty years old, and one of them was in their early thirties. When the three of them knelt down, Qiu Jungao asked in a deep voice: "Are you all from Qiuzhuang County?"

"Sir, we are all from Qiuzhuang County and from Chen clan!"

"Oh?" Qiu Jungao said solemnly: "Have you ever known Qiu Fang?"

"Sir Hui, Qiu Fang is a famous person from Jinling Road. He has many fields in Qiuzhuang County, and we all know him."

"Okay." Qiu Jungao still maintained enough calmness. "Chen Guo complained that Qiu Fang killed his father and took his wife. Can you testify for him?"

"Sir, we can testify that many people know about this in Qiuyue County." One person replied: "On the day Chen Guo got married, Qiu Fang raped his wife and even used 500 taels of silver to force Chen Tian. His father went to Beijing to seek justice and was killed halfway."

The prince's face was expressionless, Qiu Jungao frowned even more, and asked again: "Chen Guo, do you say that Qiu Fang killed your father and took your wife away, is there any physical evidence?"

Chen Guo took out something from his arms, "Sir, this is the contract that Qiu Fang left behind when he took his wife. He left five hundred taels of silver and forced the barbarian. The white and black words on it were very clear, and there was Qiu Fang's handprint. The grass people were also forced to hold it down and pressed it. Many people can witness this. Moreover, barbarian is the party involved, which can prove this."

Chen Tian's eyes were tearful and said, "Sir, Qiu Fang defiled the grass and the people, and used 500 taels of silver to force the women to sell them back to the house. The women refused to obey. He also threatened that if he refused, he would kill all the whole family."

"Bold!" King Qi rose up and said angrily: "It's really lawless..." Turning to Qiu Jungao, he said in a deep voice: "Shangshu Qiu, what's going on? How can your son do such a thing that is worse than beasts?"

The prince raised his head slightly and said lightly: "Yingren, the matter is not yet clear, why should you be anxious? Isn't it better to talk about it when there is a result?"

The King of Qi sat down with anger on his face.

Qiu Jungao hesitated for a moment and finally said, "You are all from the Chen clan, and I cannot believe in one-sided words, but are there anyone else who can testify?"

"Sir, you also understand that you are the Minister of Justice, and Qiu Fang is even a domineering Jinling. How many ordinary people dare to come out to testify?" Chen Guo said angrily.

Qiu Jungao frowned and said, "You said Qiu Fang killed your father, is there any evidence?"

"This...!" Chen Guo was stunned, but quickly said: "Qiu Fang took away my wife, his father went to Beijing to seek justice, and he walked halfway and suddenly died. He was in good health and had no illness, so how could he die suddenly? Of course, Qiu Fang was afraid that this matter would cause trouble in the capital, so he sent someone to harm him halfway!"

"In this way, you have no actual evidence, you just guessed out of thin air?" Qiu Jungao said solemnly: "The evidence must be conclusive in torture cases. If you do not have real evidence, I cannot believe your guess. There are unexpected situations in heaven, and people will be lucky and misfortune at any time. Life and death are destined to be true. Without evidence, how can you conclude that your father did not die for other reasons?"

Chen Guo gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there is no evidence to kill his father, the robbery of the grass-roots wife is full of evidence."

"Our official will naturally have to investigate this matter." Qiu Jungao said slowly: "It is not for me to cover up, but you just have to make decisions based on the words of a few of you. That is absolutely not because it is Qiu Fang. No matter who it is, our museum should be careful and not be careless in investigating the case. This is a major matter that concerns human life. I must never wrongly accuse a good person, but you can rest assured that I will never let a wicked person go."

King Qi was indeed a little anxious. What he was most concerned about now was other evidence in the hands of Chen Guo and his wife.

Chen Tian found a secret private message from Qiu Fang and his son in Qiu Jia, which contained evidence of Qiu Jia's corruption and bribery. As long as such evidence is taken out, Qiu Jungao will inevitably fall.

Seeing that Chen Guo and his wife were just entangled with the hatred of killing their father and taking their wife, they were very anxious, afraid that the two of them would forget that there was even more fatal evidence in their hands. Looking at Chen Tian, ​​they asked, "Chen Tian, ​​since you have been stolen from Qiu Mansion, you are naturally very clear about the layout of Qiu Mansion. Can you tell me about Qiu Fang's construction pattern?"

What he said was actually just reminding Chen Tian to express the letters quickly.

But Chen Tian seemed to not understand what the King of Qi meant, and replied: "My lord, although the civilian woman was robbed into the mansion, she was always locked up in a yard. The Qiu Mansion did not allow the civilian woman to enter and exit at will..."

The prince, who spoke very little, suddenly asked, "Chen Guo, you have such an injustice, can you go to your local county government office to appeal?"

Chen Guo was stunned and then said, "I have nowhere to tell you when I say something to you!"

"Oh?" said the prince: "Why is this? Qiuxian County Magistrate is a parent official. Is it because he is afraid of Qiu Fang and dare not seek justice for you?"

"When I say that, it's not the case, but the magistrate of Qiuyue County is dead." Chen Guo choked and said, "My father is Chen Lan, the former magistrate of Qiuyue County!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked again.

"Chen Lan?" Qiu Jungao opened his eyes wide and dumbfounded, "You said... you said you are Chen Lan's son?"

Chen Guo raised his head and said, "That's right, my father is Chen Lan, the former magistrate of Qiuzhuang County."

Qiu Jungao frowned and asked again: "Chen Guo, are you sure you don't have a fever? You said you are Chen Lan's son? This... how is this possible?"

"Sir, Caomin is Chen Lan's son." Chen Guo said very affirmatively.

Qiu Jungao hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "I asked you, when did your wife be robbed by Qiu Fang? I asked you again, when will your father be killed?"

"Qiu Fang stole my wife less than three years ago, and his father was also killed two years ago."

Qiu Jungao was silent for a while, suddenly got up, walked to the prince's side, and said a few words with his ears. The prince frowned even tighter, glanced at Chen Guo, pondered slightly, and then whispered a few words in Qiu Jungao's ear.

When the King of Qi saw the two whispering, he sneered in his heart, thinking that Qiu Jungao obviously felt the danger, so he was at a loss, so he asked the prince for advice in court.

However, King Qi knew very well that as long as Chen Guo and his wife took out those letters, Qiu Jungao and his son would not be able to protect themselves even if they were Daluo Jinxian. Even if they were the prince, they would not be able to protect themselves.

Qiu Jungao walked to the side and said a few more words to a servant. The servant immediately bowed and quickly left the lobby.

The King of Qi frowned slightly, not knowing what he sold in Qiu Jungao and the Prince's gourd.

"Chen Guo, this matter is of great importance, and I must be careful." Qiu Jungao returned to the presiding position, "You can wait for a moment, it won't be too long."

The King of Qi couldn't help asking, "Mr. Qiu, why don't you continue to interrogate? The prince's brother and the kingdom are in a heavy relationship. Do you have to wait here with you?"

"Reporting to Fuguo, I really have to wait." Qiu Jungao said solemnly: "It won't be too long, but just wait for a moment, the case will soon be a result. Please forgive me!"

What else did the King of Qi want to say? The prince had already said: "Yingren, Qiu Shangshu is cautious and has no fault. Since waiting for a moment can make the matter come true, why should you be anxious for a moment?"

The King of Qi wanted to speak but stopped talking, but he didn't say anything again. He thought that no matter what tricks you play, as long as you have the little letter in your hand, the result will be destined.

He looked at Chen Guo, hoping that Chen Guo would understand what he meant, but at this moment the lobby was quiet, and Chen Guo and his wife and the three witnesses were all lowering their heads and not speaking.

The atmosphere in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice became solemn, and no one said a word. Only the sound of breathing was heard, which made people feel a little stuffy.

Fortunately, everyone did not wait too long. In less than a stick of incense, footsteps were heard. The officer who had gone out entered the lobby and bowed: "Sir, you have brought him here!"

Qiu Jungao spread his eyebrows and said, "Let him come in!"

The King of Qi was stunned and then realized that the officer went out to find someone to come, but he didn't know who he had found. The most noble person in the capital was the crown prince, and even the King of Qi. No matter who intervened in this case, he could not be reversed.

In the eyes of everyone, an official wearing an official robe quickly stepped into the lobby, walked to Chen Guo, and knelt down on the ground, "I pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Qi, and to Qiubutang!"

Qiu Jungao raised his hand and pointed at Chen Guo, "Do you know him?"

The official looked at Chen Guo carefully, shook his head, and Qiu Jungao pointed at the official and asked Chen Guo: "Chen Guo, do you know him?"

Chen Guo also looked at the official's eyes and shook his head.

The King of Qi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Qiu, who is he?"
