The old man knelt up, and then said, "The humble position is indeed the original Qi Longtai, the general responsible for escorting the disaster relief silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the palace looked at Qi Longtai who looked like a flower child with a surprised look on their faces.

The emperor's face sank, his eyes stared at the person under the stage, and then asked, "Hmph, didn't you say that you were dead!?" Why are you back in this palace alive now!? Aren't you lying to me!? ”

Liu Qing was so frightened that he was about to pee his pants, but he still tried his best to suppress the fear in his heart, and also comforted himself not to expose his stuffing too early, maybe it was a person Su Cimo found at random to scare him. But the big eyes on his face were trembling up and down very uneasily, as if he wanted to see whether that face was Qi Longtai or not.

"I don't dare to be humble, I have been in charge of coaching recruits in the barracks before the humiliation, and the matter of escorting the salary and silver was also found by Lord Liu Qing in person, and he promised me to open a road for his people halfway, saying that if someone robs the silver, don't be in a hurry to arrest it, and he will definitely give me a generous bounty as a thank you at that time." Qi Longtai said, with a faint sadness on his face.

The eldest prince and the seventh prince who were standing in front of the ministers looked at this old minister with very ugly faces. Only the prince had a playful look on his face, with a mysterious smile on his face.

He thinks that the more he watches this play, the more interesting he feels.

The more Liu Qing listened to that voice, the more familiar he felt, at the beginning, his subordinates clearly replied to him that they had killed him, but he didn't expect that this Qi Longtai was still alive, not only alive, but also dared to come to the Holy Lord to testify against him.

Suddenly, Liu Qing was furious, and then he angrily resisted and broke free from the palace people who were pulling Liu Qing, and suddenly ran to the position in the palace and knelt down for the emperor, and then knelt on the ground loudly and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty! You must seek justice for Weichen! That man was not Qi Longtai at all, and Qi Longtai had died in that flood a few years ago. At first glance, this person was the adult surnamed Su who casually came to act. Emperor! You can't believe it! ”

When the emperor saw Liu Qing going crazy, he immediately became a little angry, and immediately ordered someone to stop Liu Qing from continuing to make trouble in front of the palace, but he wanted to listen carefully to how Qi Longtai came back from the Yellow River.

"Qi Longtai, you go on!" The emperor reached out and pinched his brows, and then commanded in a low voice.

Qi Longtai immediately responded, and then continued to answer: "I know that I shouldn't have thought about Lord Liu Qing's request, but at that time, the villain was just a small deputy general in the barracks, and the family was hungry and cold, and there was a mother and brother who needed me to take care of it, so he was very short of money. Immediately, he had a crooked mind about Lord Liu Qing's money. ”

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, then you will punish me! But I'm not here to confess my guilt today, I want to expose what a villain this Liu Qing is! Qi Longtai said, his face had always been as calm as ever, but when he said the name of the adult, he suddenly became very annoyed, and his eyes widened and he looked there.

The emperor looked at Qi Longtai under the stage with a deep meaning, don't say it's this Qi Longtai, it's Su Cimo who stood aside and looked at the person on the throne whose face turned black because of anger, and her heart was a little nervous.

The Seventh Prince, who was standing below, also noticed that the emperor's face was becoming more and more gloomy at this moment, looking as if a storm was coming, and the eyes that seemed to have a tiger spirit and an eagle pool exuded bursts of black gas at this moment, and everyone who watched it felt shuddered.

Suddenly, the Seventh Prince's face became more and more nervous.

But this Qi Longtai was not afraid at all and continued: "Those silver taels were actually ordered by Lord Liu Qing to be taken away by the river, and he also took advantage of the fact that he had a money transaction with me to personally write a letter, asking those of us who were guarding the silver not to do anything with the people he sent, and then took the silver away privately, and then asked the subordinates arranged by Lord Liu Qing around him, what should we do with those who escorted the silver, but the person immediately turned his face, A large number of killers were summoned to rush out and cut and kill all of us as the officers and soldiers who escorted us, and everyone was caught off guard, and many of them were not very pushed into the river and torn away. They also slashed my neck, and then threw it into the Yellow River, I thought I would die, but I was saved by a boatman on the Yellow River, and now I have the opportunity to come to the capital to rehabilitate Lord Su who died unjustly! ”

When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and then he yelled: "Bastard! Bastard thing! ”

With that, he picked up a booklet in his hand and smashed it into the open space in front of him.

The eunuchs next to him all looked nervously at the emperor and didn't dare to squeak anymore, and immediately Liu Qing cried, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy while shouting injustice.

"Father, this is really strange. The last silver was clearly found in Su Mansion, but why was it blamed on Lord Liu Qing's head!? The Seventh Prince hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt down on one knee to ask the emperor for his life.

Several ministers next to him also nodded immediately.

"I also have a copy of the testimony for this matter!" Su Cimo didn't wait for the emperor to reply, but instead strangled the bad intentions of the Seven Princes in the cradle with his own preconceived ideas.

"Ministers of the Zongren Mansion, I have here a handwritten survey record recorded by the officials who went to my mansion to investigate in the government office that day! If you don't believe me, take out this booklet and see what is written on it, it is written, on the west wall of the Su Mansion I saw a few footprints deep in the mud, and the footprints looked like they were stepped on when they were carried by people. This evidence is enough to prove that there were several chests of silver with official crests in my father's room that day, which came from the guests on the wall! Presumably he was in a hurry to leave at the end, and he was afraid of being bumped into by the people in the house, so the few footprints left by the west wall that climbed in didn't have time to wipe them off. If you refuse to believe it, I will hand over this evidence to the emperor in its entirety, and let the emperor send someone to carefully examine the authenticity of this codex for me. Su Cimo walked left and right, looking idle, and said Ao.

Suddenly, all the ministers in the court gasped, and their heads were almost unable to think normally by the bombshell bombshell-like evidence and modified evidence that Su Cimo fired one after another.

When the emperor heard this, he didn't want to shield anyone, but directly asked the eunuch to come over and ask for the codex in Su Cimo's hand, which Su Cimo bought at a high price in the Xinghua Building in the last few days.

Although Su Cimo didn't know why this thing went so smoothly, she felt that this matter should be because God was helping her.

The emperor carefully reviewed and looked through it, but there was no trace of fraud, and then asked several ministers closest to the Internal Affairs Office to come forward to check, and the ministers shook their heads helplessly, which meant a code, implying that the emperor's booklet was eighty percent true.

When the emperor saw this, he was so angry that he threw the codex on the desk in front of him, and then he stood up and said to the ministers in the audience: "You! It's ridiculous! Monkey business! What do you think of my court!? Is it a treasury for you to make money for gold and silver!? I worked hard for the sake of the people, but I didn't think that you moths couldn't wait to eat all my wealth so soon! ”

Suddenly, the emperor Long Yan was furious, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, his footsteps kept wandering in front of the palace, and then he shook his head with a worried look on his face, and seemed to think of how he explained how these ministers did things on weekdays, and they obviously didn't do a good job, but they didn't find out at all, and they really just punished Su Qingfeng.

But fortunately, Su Qingfeng died of natural causes in prison, not because he was ruthless.

The emperor was angry, so he announced his retirement from the court, saying that this case still needs to be carefully examined.

Su Cimo saw the hundred officials going down, although there were ups and downs in his heart, he inevitably felt comfortable for a while. Finally, this matter was finally completed by him.

Tuoba Heng sent Chen Feng to comfort Su Cimo when he was fine, but Su Cimo was not as unthinkable or unhappy as he thought.

The Qi Longtai who was captured from the frontier was carefully interrogated by the people sent by the emperor to the Internal Affairs Office, and the reason why he was so obedient was that Tuoba Heng spent a lot of money in his hands, so he agreed to give it a try.

Sure enough, Qi Longtai's chess piece, Tuoba Heng did not use it wrong. Within a few days, news came out from the Internal Affairs Office sent by the emperor to investigate the case, saying that all the evidence provided by Su Cimo was true, and then some of the adults she accused in court were indeed guilty.

Liu Qing is the first assistant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs, tens of thousands of silver taels are trivial matters, but Liu Qing's mother and father are both founding fathers, and the power of Liu Qing's family in Beijing is extremely large, so the emperor thought about it and felt that he should not do anything to Liu Qing, but just undertook the remaining ministers, and demoted Liu Qing to the official position of Sanpin as a punishment.

Originally, Liu Qing's interpersonal relationship in the Internal Affairs Office was extremely good, and if he suddenly pulled out the nail, the emperor was afraid that his regime would loosen to some extent.

But now there is strong evidence to prove that Su Qingfeng was wronged, and even the dozen or so big boxes in his house were done by people with intentions, and they were recorded very clearly in the codex of the government office, but the dog official who investigated the case didn't know who instructed him to change the case file.

It's just that the official finished this matter and flew away, and now the emperor can't find where others have gone if he wants to fake the crime.

Helplessly, the emperor still punished several people around Liu Qing who had conclusive evidence, and abolished the official.
