A League of Nobleman 君子盟 Episode 3

The queen mother asked Lan Jue and Mo Wen to participate in the interrogation, and other officials below the third rank were waiting outside the door. The queen mother ordered Zhang Ping to hear the case. Zhang Ping questioned Hanyan for burning her body with turpentine and fire beads. Hanyan pleaded guilty and accused Xie Hao of poisoning her. Although she was aware of it in time, she still caused her miscarriage. Han Yan said that a few days ago, she found out that Xie Hao was conspiring with Lan Jue. Lan Jue's incriminating evidence fell into the hands of others, and she repeatedly instructed Xie Hao to seduce that person to take the opportunity to retrieve it. Only when she realized this matter would Xie Hao kill her to silence her.

As for the blood book, Hanyan said that he wanted to insinuate this matter and make Lan Jue's death crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason public, and Hanyan also said that the evidence of Lan Jue's treason with the enemy was hidden in a bead made of rhino horn. The smoke indicates that the bead has collapsed in the house now, and the Empress Dowager hurriedly sent people to look for it. Lan Jue did not admit to this crime. After he was a guilty minister, he only entered Enke after being pardoned by the court ten years ago, so he dared not be ungrateful.

Soon the guards brought the rhinoceros horn beads, in which the contents of the secret letter pointed to Lan Jue collaborating with the enemy. In order to pardon the court's secrets, Zhang Ping was sent out of the house by the Queen Mother. Afterwards, the queen mother asked Lan Jue to be imprisoned in the Xing Prison Division. Lan Jue finally begged to take a look at the dear letter. After reading the letter, Lan Jue said that the letter was forged, and someone deliberately framed herself. Then he presented evidence, and Gong Songming also verified that the letter was not written by Lan Jue himself. Mo Wen remembered that Guo Yun and Guo Shilang in the court knew left-handed calligraphy, and Guo Yun and Lan Jue were competing for the post of Minister of Rites. Guo Yun had the motive to frame Lan Jue.

The queen mother interrogated Guo Yun, but Guo Yun did not admit that the letter was forged by himself. Mo Wen pointed out the personal relationship between Guo Yun and Han Yan, Guo Yun publicly denied the personal relationship with Han Yan, and bluntly said that he did not like a lowly prostitute like Han Yan. Han Yan was heartbroken and simply admitted that what she had just identified as Lan Jue's words was perjury, and everything tonight was framed by Guo Yun to frame Lan Jue. Although Guo Yun denied the crime, the queen mother was angry that her whereabouts were being used and handed over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Lan Jue arranged for his subordinates to intercept the beggar, and he found the second blood letter. He promptly ordered his subordinates to burn the evidence. On the return trip, Zhang Ping recalled the details of the case and suddenly realized that Han Yan was not the real culprit. But when he returned to Banyue Tower, he learned that the case had been solved, and that Han Yan was ordered by Guo Yun to do everything. Zhang Ping suspects that he was once again deceived by Lan Jue. At this time, he accidentally discovers that the dancer Zhixia's head oil, which was frightened by Xie Hao's tragic death, tastes the same as Xie Hao. He used hypnosis to help Zhixia get rid of her inner demons. The two recalled the scene of the crime, asked Zhixia and learned that she used Xiehao hair oil today, and Li Niang at the dance scene knew that Zhixia used Xiehao hair oil. Kai Zhixia prevented her from burning herself to death. Zhang Ping speculates that Li Niang is the real murderer.

Zhang Ping asked about Li Niang's whereabouts, and learned that she had been taken away by Lord Wang to see the doctor because she was scared. At this time, Zhixia was taken away by Lan Jue and Mo Wen, and she secretly managed to break free from the bondage in the carriage.
