The sun woke up and opened the hazy sleepy eyes with mist, and the light sprinkled onto the earth and stone ground through the mischievous clouds, shining into thousands of households, and also awakening the sleeping Qingli.

Qingli simply dressed up and ate some food and fruits. The closed door was opened. Facing the bright light and cold wind, he walked to the lobby.

The quiet man in black and the departed man in blue were sitting on a carved mahogany chair and talking.

Turning his head at the sound of soft, slow footsteps.

Qingyou said: "I'll go out of the mansion with Liyan, you're not in good health, just be in the mansion!"

Qingli hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Li Yan stared at Qingli's water eyes and said, "If Li'er is bored, you can take a few guards out for a walk." ”

Qing Li glanced at him and replied, "Hmm." ”

They went to the yamen first, and the subordinate sent by Qingyou to inquire yesterday evening said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, yesterday's subordinates investigated Li Tong and Zhang San overnight and found no abnormalities. ”

"Li Tong has been an official in Luzhou for three years, and he has always been conscientious and has never had a bad history, and he is very upright. ”

"When Zhang San went out, although he gave money to a few young beggars, according to the investigation of his subordinates, those beggars never helped Zhang San do anything, nor did they help him contact anyone. ”

Qing You's brows furrowed, and his subordinates retreated.

Li Yan raised his starry eyes and asked the officer, "Has anyone seen Li Tong or Zhang San last night?"

The official replied, "Lord Tongju has been here. ”

"General judgment. He whispered.

Qingyou answered Li's doubts, and he said: "It is judged that Li Da is Li Tong's subordinate and his brother, and the two of them have a very good relationship, brother and brother. It was not surprising that Li Da went to see Li Tong. ”

Li Yan's eyes were deep and said, "Go and interrogate Li Tong." ”

When Li Tong arrived, he shouted and asked: "Is the letter really you found from Zhang San's study?" Do you know that if you lie, then your crime will not be cleared." ”

Li Tong lowered his head and hesitated, and replied after a while: "I found it from Zhang San's study!"

Li Yan sneered lightly, and then asked, "What else did he have on his desk at that time, and he could put pen and ink next to this letter." ”

Li Tong flashed a trace of panic in his eyes, and then calmed down: "The minister was only looking for the letter at that time, and he didn't pay attention. ”

He asked, "Even if you were only looking for letters at the time, how could you not know if the pen and ink pressed the letters?" ”

Li Tong's eyes flashed and replied: "The minister remembered it, it seems to have it!"

Qingyou heard Li Tong's words and reprimanded: "Zhang San has never put pen and ink on the table. You are clearly telling a lie. ”

Li Tong was taken aback and said, "The minister should have made a mistake." ”

Qingyou said: "After verification, you have a good reputation as a prefect for three years and are very loved. It's not like someone who can be corrupt, if you don't tell the truth, then I can only assume that you did it. ”

Li Tong was still silent.

Liyan said: "Take Li Tong down first and pass on Li Da." ”

When Li Tong heard this, his hanging head was raised suddenly, and he said, "This matter has nothing to do with him." ”

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't matter, we have our own judgment." ”

Li Tong was taken down by the officials, and a moment later, Li Da came.

Li Dadao: "I don't know what His Royal Highness and the Governor are looking for." ”

Li Yan said: "The letter is from you to Li Tong." ”

Li Da was stunned and replied, "Why did the governor say this?"

Li Yan moved his slightly stiff arm and said, "Li Tong confessed that the letter was given to him by you." ”

Li Da was puzzled, "Lord Prince, Lord Governor Mingjian, this is definitely Li Tong's lie! I have never sent him a letter!"

Li Yan sneered: "I heard that the relationship between the two of you brothers is very good, if you don't tell the truth about this matter, then this crime will be on your brother Li Tong." ”

Li Da dropped a drop of cold sweat, but still insisted: "Although Li Tong is my own brother, if this matter is really done by him, the minister will never cover him for personal gain." ”

At this time, Li Tong, who was taken behind the scenes, walked out and said, "Li Da, you are like this." ”

Li Da's pupils shrank, he sneered, and said, "Brother, don't be impatient, what I said is the truth!" he glanced at Li Tong.

Li Tong looked at Li Da again, and he said directly: "Back to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Governor, the minister did not explain the truth before, this letter was actually handed over to me by my brother Li Da! He told me that this was obtained by him from a maid in Zhang's mansion, if the minister said it, the maid and he would be retaliated against by Zhang San, so the minister concealed the truth before." ”

Li Da raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat and said, "Li Tong, how can you put the blame on me, I am your brother!"

Li Daodao: "That's the case, how can I shirk it! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to investigate!"

During the interrogation, Qingyou had already sent someone to check on Li Da.

Soon, the maid that Li Tong said was passed up, and the maid was very scared, her hand didn't know where to put it, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Qingyou pointed at Li Da and asked, "Have you ever sent a letter to this person?"

The maid replied tremblingly, "The courtier has not sent a letter to this person. ”

Li Da hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Governor Mingjian, the minister definitely doesn't know this woman, and this woman also said that she has never given a letter to the minister, so this is all Li Tong's lie." ”

Li Tong was furious and was about to have a seizure.

The servant girl raised her eyes as if to say something.

Li Da glanced at the servant girl to warn her, but she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, he said, "Have you ever seen that man, if you lie, it is the crime of killing the head." ”

The maidservant girl was frightened, she quickly knelt down, closed her eyes and said, "That prince once bought the words of Lord Zhang on my house from the courtier. ”

At first, the courtiers thought that they would lose those words, but since he wanted to buy them, they would sell them to him, so they didn't think too much, and the courtiers didn't know anything.

Li Da panicked, pointed at the maid and said, "You must have been bribed by Li Tong and framed me." ”

The servant girl was frightened and her tears couldn't stop falling. "The courtiers are not lying, no. ...”

Li Tong also knelt down and said, "The ministers are really wronged, it's all their conspiracy." ”

The person who went to inquire said to Qingyou and Liyan: "According to the investigation of his subordinates, Li Da has colluded with the second master of Nashan Tiger Village, and before the official silver was lost, some people saw the second master and Li Da nearby. ”

Qingyou slapped the table and was furious: "Li Da, what else do you have to say?" ”

Li Da was very flustered at first, but he still didn't admit it, and said: "The human and physical evidence is there, if you can't come up with favorable evidence to prove your innocence, then you can only be detained and interrogated!"

Seeing that there was no turning point, Li Da stood up calmly and said, "Since you all know, then I will tell you generously that this is what I did!"
