Lord Tao did not sleep well all night.

He dreamed that he had settled a case and sentenced Zhang Ping to death. Zhang Ping turned into a ghost, staring at him with blood all over his body, and said quietly: "I'm wronged..."

Lord Tao sat up with excitement, covered in sweat. Outside the window, his wife raised a half-year-old rooster and screamed. Before dawn, it was almost time to go to court.

Mrs. Tao turned over and said, "Master, you should go and tell the emperor that you should resign this Minister of Justice. You will never dare to listen to ghost stories in your life. You are not a good person to do this. You don't have much salary and you will have nightmares every day, and your beard will be a little scared. How great is Hanlin Academy? Mrs. Qin told me that the old man in her family is very idle every day."

Lord Tao got out of bed without saying a word, walked to the door, opened the door, and was covered in darkness.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Lord Tao was still in a state of uneasiness. After thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Ping might be wronged. He was about to take the exam and gave up his bright future and killed a troupe boss. This was not the behavior of scholars.

He opened the file and looked at all the evidence clearly pointing at Zhang Ping.

Lord Tao sighed, sad, and paced.

At noon, Lord Tao went to the cell to visit Zhang Ping himself. Zhang Ping was sitting in the corner of the wall for dinner. He carefully put the remaining half of the steamed bun back into the bowl before he stood up and saluted Lord Tao. Lord Tao thought in his heart that this was indeed a good young man.

Lord Tao said amiably: "This prison is a bit harder. Are you not panic or resentful to the Ministry of Education here?"

Zhang Ping said: "Students are not murderers, I believe they will definitely get justice."

Lord Tao said more kindly: "Mr. Wang told the Honbu Hall that he felt that you were not the murderer of Jin Lifa, but when Mr. Wang asked you for other suspicious points, why did you contradict him? If you helped Mr. Wang find other people's suspicious things, wouldn't you have more hope of getting rid of the crime?"

Zhang Ping lowered his eyelids: "There is no suspicion in Mr. Wang's suspicion, and students cannot describe it as suspicious."

Lord Tao twisted his beard: "Why are you sure that there is no doubt about it?"

The prison was dim, and the prison guard held a torch to light it. Zhang Ping stood in the swaying fire, his eyes and expressions were exactly the same as the wronged ghost in Lord Tao’s dream: “If the adults believe it, the students can find evidence and witnesses.”

Jin Li also had a nightmare all night. She dreamed that her cousin Li Niang stood in front of the bed and called her: "Sister...Sister Xiangwan..."

Jin Li was restless and couldn't sit or lie down.

The Ministry of Justice sent someone to tell her that the murderer's blade might be poisonous, or that Jin Lifa fell into the cesspool and entered the body too deeply, and his injuries were very dangerous. However, Jin Lifa said a few words, which was the key to the murder case. The Ministry of Justice would do his best to treat him. Many famous doctors have been transferred and posted a list of documents, offering rewards to recruit doctors who can cure Jin Lifa.

Jin Li begged to meet her husband, but was not allowed.

She was like being fryed all day long, and the apprentices were chanting in the yard, which made her feel upset. She touched the needle and thread and sat by the window, making her feel stunted, and she seemed to have returned to many years ago. She was pregnant with her eldest child and was sitting under the window with her bellyband. Li Niang pushed open the door and smiled at her: "Sister."

Li Niang's days were different from those on weekdays. She could see that others didn't pay attention to it.

Her skin color is more delicate than before, like rubbing with rouge, rosy, usually listless and sick, but now she always likes to smile with her lips bent, her eyes are a little floating, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.

She twisted Li Niang's hand and said, "You damn girl, wouldn't you look for Xiao Xiang's favor with your parents on your back?"

Li Niang's eyes were rippling with waves, and she asked, "Sister Xiangwan, do you believe there are gods?"

She said, "I believe that there is an old fairy with white beard. I have already tied a thread to your hand, and a young man like Pan An-like at the other end is connected."

Niang Li lowered her head and smiled: "Sister, do you remember that weasel we saved when we were young?"

She thought about it and it was vaguely true. When she was a child, a weasel in the backyard of her home stole a chicken. She was clamped with one of her hind legs and ran past her and Li Niang.

They heard from adults that the weasel fart was stinky, so they took three steps back and watched it run through the dog hole.

She was stunned for a moment and said, "Can the weasel become a spirit and come to pester you?"

Li Niang twisted her handkerchief and didn't say anything. She grabbed Li Niang's hand: "Good sister, don't scare me, weasel is a pickled thing, those ghosts and weird things can't be touched. Girls' homes must not be fooled."

Li Niang burst out laughing: "Sister, I know. But he will not harm me. He is an immortal. I can't even see his face. The fragrance on his body is only found in heaven. In his eyes, we mortals are smelly and pickled."

The door thudded, Jin Li's hand trembled, and the needle was stabbed. She pulled a piece of cloth to wrap her fingers, and two or three officials from the Ministry of Justice entered the house.

"My Jin Li, Lord Shangshu is going to open a retrial of the case, let's go with us."

The second trial opened, which was similar to the first trial, except that the person standing next to Tao Shangshu was replaced by an official wearing the crimson-red servant's uniform.

The Jin Li family recognized this person. He was Wang Yan, the eldest son of the Grand Tutor Wang of the dynasty. When Xiao Wu said that when the team was performing at the house of the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Wang was present and called Li Qi, Qingshu and Xianghe to ask questions.

Jin Li's heart had a bad premonition, and she was the only one kneeling in the hall, and Zhang Ping and Chen Chou were not there. Tao Shangshu cleared his throat and said, "The retrial of this case today is because some key clues related to the case were found. Jin Li's house asked you, "You said that you had just gone to the toilet when you heard the call from your husband's Jin Li. Is there anyone a certificate?"

Jin Li was stunned for a moment and said tremblingly: "Sir~ Do you suspect that the civilian woman is plotting against my husband? I am wronged! The civilian woman and her husband have been in harmony for 20 years. Why do you want to murder him? Please be aware of it! The murderer is obviously Zhang Ping!"

Master Tao said: "The weapon has not been found yet. Although Zhang Ping is suspicious, there is no actual evidence. The department has handled several cases, and the murderer is often the first person to be present. You have no evidence, and you cannot rule out the suspicion."

Jin Li took two steps and cried, "Sir, the civilian woman and her husband are in love, and everyone in the opera troupe can testify. How could the civilian woman murder my husband? This must be the screen that slandered me!"

Lord Tao sighed and waved his hand. Several officers led a man to step into the threshold and knelt down beside Jin Li's side. It was Li Qi.

Li Qi said: "Madam, more than ten years ago, when Miss Li Niang died, you came forward to testify, saying that Miss Li Niang once told you that she recognized a weasel spirit. Only the master and the eldest wife believed that Miss Li Niang died of being sucked by the weasel spirit. That's right."

Lord Tao said: "Mr. Jin Li, based on the proceeds of the case investigation, your cousin Li Niang was clearly tempted to death by someone, not a monster. Do you really don't know?"

Jin Li's whole body shook like a sieve: "Sir, the cousin of a civilian woman was indeed killed by the weasel spirit. Besides, she has been dead for almost twenty years. What does this have to do with my husband's murder?"

Lord Tao said slowly: "According to the investigation, your cousin Li Niang is kept in the deep boudoir and cannot contact the man at all. Is there any such incident?"

Jin Li nodded and cried intermittently, "Sir... So Li Niang's death is what the monster does. She did tell me back then that a weasel became an immortal, come to find her..."

Lord Tao said, "Then why don't you tell her parents?"

Jin Li cried, "Later she told the folk women that it was a joke... Our sisters often played together, and I thought they were not serious... When she died... I realized, and I realized it was true..."

Wang Yan beside Tao Shangshu said coldly: "A young and unmarried woman is indeed difficult to see a man in the deep boudoir, but some men are very easy to see her. For example, father and brother, brother-in-law..."

Jin Li's crying stopped, and Lord Tao sighed: "Jin Li, I heard that your husband Jin Lifa wanted to marry before was your cousin Li Niang, and then he married you again. Is there anything wrong?"

In the court, there was a silence. After a while, several policemen escorted Zhang Ping to the hall slowly. Tao Shangshu nodded to Wang Yan, and Wang Yan turned his eyes to the hall: "Jin Li, can you tell Lord Shangshu and the head office why did you want Zhang Ping to write this "Hu Lang"?

Jin Li's teeth chuckled and fought: "The civilian woman, the civilian woman occasionally had a dream, so the civilian woman occasionally had an idea..."

Wang Yan said coldly: "You asked Zhang Ping to write this drama for your husband's gift!"

Jin Lifa struggled in the darkness, and he noticed the familiar aura.

It's him, he's here...

Jin Lifa's hands twitched twice, his throat clattered, and he gasped quickly.

Wong Tai Sin...he...

"Jin Li, you know that there must be a hidden truth in Li Niang's death that day. You vaguely guessed who the murderer was, but you endured it for nearly twenty years and never pointed it out. You intentionally asked Zhang Ping to write this case. When he was writing the opera, he accidentally pointed out the truth of the case. The face he deliberately covered showed that the murderer was the one Li Niang recognized. Jin Lifa's reaction to see the playbook confirmed your guess. You took this as an opportunity to kill him in the middle of the night and frame Zhang Ping!"

Jin Li kowtowed desperately, and blood marks were faintly revealed on his forehead: "Master Shangshu, this minister, the civilian wife did not kill my husband, and I don't know what secret of my cousin's murder. If the civilian woman lies, she will be thundering in the sky!"

Zhang Ping raised his eyelids and glanced at Wang Yan. Wang Yan narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Ping, look at your expression, it seems that he is dissatisfied with the inference of the department?"

Zhang Ping looked at him again and said nothing.

Wang Yan sneered and turned his eyes: "Li Qi, are you saying the speculation of our department hospital right?"

Li Qi crawled on the ground: "The Grand Master of Shangshu is wise, the Minister of the Secretariat is wise, and Caomin is just an actor, and he dare not comment on the case on his own."

Wang Yanxiu started his hand: "You don't dare to comment. You must have said in your heart that this Minister Wang is such a fool. He believes whatever he says, and walks at my mercy, right?"

Li Qi was shocked, raised his head, Wang Yan turned around and bowed to Shangshu Tao: "Sir Shangshu."

Tao Shangshu coughed, straightened his clothes and slapped the awkward: "Li Qi, why did you falsely accused Jin Lifa and his wife of murder? What is the truth about the two murders? Come on the truth!"

Li Qi collapsed on the ground and shivered.

Wang Yan looked down at him and sneered: "If Jin Lifa is related to Jin Lishi's death, he will never take this matter to write it into a playbook. You are a servant who knows so many secrets and you must be able to go deep into the inner house. More than ten years ago, you seduced Lima, and probably accidentally caught by Jin Lifa. He did not expect that what he saw was related to the murder case. Unexpectedly, after the playbook was written, he actually pointed out the key to the murder case at that time. You are afraid that Jin Lifa will recall the incident that day and find clues, in order to destroy it.

He simply created the illusion of Zhang Ping killing people, and eliminated Jin Lifa, Jin Lifa, and Wu Xiao, who were unintentionally wrong to the key Zhang Ping. Later, according to the detective, it was clear that Jin Lifa and Jin Lifa were neither in the capital, but you deliberately changed it to induce the department to think that Jin Lifa had a ghost, and in every word, he tried to treat the department as a pawn. It was so cunning. Unfortunately, your cleverness was mistaken by cleverness. Your various actions became the evidence that you were the murderer!”

Li Qi crawled on the ground, crying in tears and shouting injustice. Wang Yan walked down the hall and walked to Zhang Ping: "Zhang Ping, you were wrong to call the headquarters in the headquarters at that time. Do you still have to say that to the headquarters in the future?"

Zhang Ping still didn't say anything. Wang Yan walked around him for a while. Suddenly, a detective hurried in and knelt down on one knee in the hall: "Sir Shangshu, you've got it."

Shangshu Tao waved: "Hurry, bring it to the court!"

The constable left in a hurry, and four or five constables pushed one person into the hall.

The man was about 40 years old, with a long and thin body, a slightly yellow face, a sparse beard, a square scarf, a half-new long gown, and a medicine box. He looked like a doctor.
