Chapter 317
Jinluan Palace.
"Your Majesty, Dali Temple Chief Tian Qing, Qin Wenchang and his wife have arrived outside the palace!"
Shangguan Wan'er bowed.
"Send!"
Wu Zhao's voice was cold.
Soon, Tian Qing and Qin Wenchang and his wife stepped into the Jinluan Palace.
Gao Yang's eyes instantly looked over.
Tian Qing looked natural, while Qin Wenchang and his wife looked terrified.
When he saw Qin Wenchang, Gao Yang's lips curled up, but he did not speak.
"Your Majesty, I am Dali Temple Chief Tian Qing, and I pay my respects to you!"
"I, Qin Wenchang and Tian Yan, pay my respects to you!"
Wu Zhao said directly, "Bold Tian Qing, do you know your crime?"
Wu Zhao's face was angry, and she crushed Tian Qing with a strong majesty.
Tian Qing knelt on the ground in a hurry, his face full of fear, "Your Majesty, what crime have I committed?"
"I ask you, Lin went to the Dali Temple to appeal for justice, why did you torture the wronged person, and even threatened to beat him out with sticks if he came again?"
"Is this true?"
"It is true, but I have a clear conscience!" Tian Qing said.
"Having a clear conscience? Isn't it because the person Lin wants to sue is your brother-in-law?"
"Your Majesty, there is absolutely no such thing. In the Dali Temple, there is only public and no private. I admit that I did punish Lin and said that I would throw her out if she came again!"
"But there is a reason for this, because Lin is full of lies. She only wants to convict me based on the theory of the dead soul, a black basin, and ghosts and gods. My punishment of her is in line with the laws of Daqian!"
"And the Dali Temple constables have already secretly investigated this matter and have already found out that it is completely false. Lin is a false accusation. I beg your majesty to see it clearly!"
When Lin heard this, his face was instantly filled with anger, "Lord Tian, you are talking nonsense. Touch your conscience, do you dare to say that you have investigated?"
Tian Qing proudly straightened up, with a righteous face, "I have a clear conscience and there are witnesses!"
Wu Zhao frowned.
According to Tian Qing, although he used the torture of the rod on Lin, he really couldn't convict her of dereliction of duty...
After all, what Lin said was a ghost story. One can't trust even one person's words when solving a case, let alone a dream to complain!
Wu Zetian absolutely believed Lin's performance. It was definitely not acting, nor did it seem like she had a mental problem.
Thinking of this, Wu Zetian looked at Qin Wenchang and his wife again.
"I ask you, why did Lin sue you? If you dare to hide even a word, I will kill all your clans!"
Qin Wenchang trembled, his tone was bitter, and he even sighed.
"Your Majesty, I am really wronged and have suffered this unprovoked disaster."
"Five months ago, it was still late, and my husband and I were at home. Suddenly, a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes came to our house to stay for one night. My husband and I have always been warm-hearted, so we agreed."
"The man left early the next morning, and this rich businessman claimed to be surnamed Hong, not Lu at all, but Lin refused to believe it and insisted that it was her husband, and my husband and I made him into a black basin!"
"My husband and I have always been very good people. After this incident, our black basin business has dropped sharply, and my brother-in-law who is dedicated to serving the people has also been implicated. I beg your majesty to make a decision for my husband and me and give us a clear name!"
When he was excited, Qin Wenchang knelt on the ground and loudly asked Wu Zhao to make the decision.
Tian Qing stood in the center of the Golden Palace with his hands behind his back, and sighed, "It's just a little bit of wind and frost."
Wu Zhao suddenly felt a headache.
She had never tried a case before, and thought that this case must be a case of officials oppressing the people, and it was a very easy case to solve.
She was even prepared for a massacre.
But she didn't expect the case to be more complicated than she expected, and even involved ghosts and gods!
Who is real and who is fake?
Lin became excited. She looked at Qin Wenchang and pointed at him and cursed, "Your Majesty, you can't believe this man's nonsense!"
"My husband died at the hands of this couple. Not only did they kill people and rob them of their wealth, they also made my husband's body into a black basin."
"Please understand, Your Majesty!"
Lu Wen looked at Lin, his eyes deep, and he asked coldly, "Lin, my Dali Temple has always enforced the law impartially. Don't say that I am deceiving you. Let me ask you, in addition to a black basin, there is also a woodcutter who witnessed a man entering the house of Qin Wenchang and his wife. Do you have any other evidence?"
Lin shook her head, "No!"
"But there can't be such a coincidence in the world. This must be true."
"They... must be murderers!"
Lu Wen sneered, and didn't look at Lin directly, but looked at Wu Zhao instead.
"Your Majesty, the matter is very clear. Lin missed her late husband too much, so she was in a trance and had nightmares every day, so she imagined all this."
"Qin Wenchang and his wife were falsely accused. Although Tian Qing, the chief of the Dali Temple, was excessive in law enforcement, it was fair!"
"Lin beat the drum of injustice, but she was not wronged. She wasted your majesty's time. According to the rules of Taizu, she should be executed.The nine clans!"
After these words fell, Lin's face changed drastically.
Qin Wenchang and his wife and Tian Qing showed joy on their faces.
"Your Excellency is really fair, I thank you!"
Qin Wenchang bowed to Lu Wen.
Lu Wen said proudly, "I have judged countless cases in my life, and I have judged more cases than Bill and others have eaten rice. I can tell at a glance whether it is an injustice."
"Based on the current evidence, you are innocent. The laws of Daqian will never let any bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person!"
Lin looked at Lu Wen in astonishment, and then immediately looked at Wu Zhao.
"Your Majesty, they are the murderers, how can they be innocent! "
She rushed all the way from Qingzhou to Chang'an City, even filed a complaint with the emperor and was tortured by rolling steel needles. Isn't this enough to get justice?
Lin suddenly turned around, and Qin Wenchang and his wife happened to look at her.
They had sneers on their faces, as if they were laughing at her for overestimating her own abilities.
You sold your family property, went to the Dali Temple many times, and even held the imperial edict, filed a complaint with the emperor, and was tortured by rolling steel needles.
But so what?
What can you do to me?
How can you convict me without any evidence in your hand?
Lin was desperate, her fists clenched, her nails pierced deeply into her palms, and blood oozed out.
A feeling of powerlessness arose spontaneously.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, with a thick sigh.
"Lin, until now, you still refuse to point out this official and drag this official into this muddy water?"
