Cui Hao's answer made Li Shizhi's sweat wet on his back, how much did Cui Hao know in his later life, and what did he find out secretly?

Xun Mou listened to Cui Hao's answer, but sneered and said, "Master Cui, this is nothing more than a coincidence, it doesn't mean anything!" Maybe these three people have already been released? ”

Emperor Han also said: "That's right! Stealing other people's cattle is not a capital crime, and it is possible to let them go. ”

"That's what the minister originally thought." Cui Hao continued to reply, "But what is recorded in the case file is clearly missing. ”

Xun Mou said: "Then maybe the family members of these three mothers and sons bribed the guards and secretly released the people!" ”

Cui Hao slid towards Xun, "General Xun is not unreasonable, but who would risk the sand and release people privately?" And stealing cattle is not a capital crime, and they will be released after a few days of imprisonment. What's more......" Cui Hao's fierce eyes shot at Li Shizhi, "These three mothers and sons don't have other family members, where is there anyone to take care of them!" ”

When Li Shizhi raised his eyes, he happened to meet Cui Hao's four eyes, and was startled by his firm eyes, and leaned back slightly nervously, sensing that something was wrong, and immediately stood still, looking calm and composed, and then said disdainfully: "This is just your one-sided statement, and it is really far-fetched to link the disappearance of those three mothers and sons with the other three corpses of the Wu family." ”

Cui Haoyi said righteously: "Why did the two guards disappear at the same time? ”

As soon as Cui Hao spoke, there was an uproar in the court, everyone was shocked, and the crown prince Liu Yan was almost stunned, if his uncle really had anything to do with this matter, I am afraid that he would not be able to escape death!

Lu Zuo was very anxious at the moment, Cui Hao's actions today really caught him off guard, and I am afraid that even Li Shizhi felt the same way. Lu Zuo is in a dilemma at the moment, and he doesn't know whether to speak for Li Shizhi, but if he really speaks, then he is not a person inside and out, and he may not be able to help, but he will let his plan fall through, but if he doesn't help, wouldn't it be better than a pig and a dog?

Although Xun Mou was surprised, he was still calm, and he followed up and asked, "The jailer is missing, can it prove that those three mothers and sons were manipulated?" Who doesn't know that the Prime Minister is known for his uprightness, and you are clearly chasing after the wind. ”

The Xuanzheng Hall gradually returned to calm, but everyone was holding their breath at the moment, and the tense atmosphere seemed as if they might lose their heads at any time after a while.

Emperor Han was surprisingly calm, he was quietly observing and weighing, there was no anger, no shock, all this seemed to have nothing to do with him, he just asked Li Shizhi lightly: "Uncle Guo, do you know about this?" ”

Li Shi was stunned, and then replied in a trance: "This matter...... The minister has heard about it, but the matter is ...... It has nothing to do with the minister, and there is a discrepancy between what Master Cui said. Li Shizhi found that he was a little out of shape, adjusted his breathing in an instant, and continued to reply, "As far as the minister knows, those two jailers have already asked the government to take a leave of absence before, and they should have returned to their hometown, and the minister doesn't know where to say that he is missing?" ”

Emperor Han raised his eyebrows, his temper seemed to explode soon, and his cold eyes fell on Cui Hao's body again, "Cui Aiqing, how do you explain?" It was as if he was waiting for a satisfactory answer, otherwise he might have been furious.

Cui Hao was unhurried and cold, and said: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, who was the secretary of Dali Temple at the time, didn't even clear up the original situation, which is really a crime!" Those two jailers were in the prime of life, so why did they take a break! ”

"You ......" Li Shizhi was angry and anxious, already a little red-faced, turned around and pointed to Cui Hao's nose and asked directly, "This appearance has always been above board, how can you be presumptuous." Cui Hao, if you are making disrespectful remarks and committing the following crimes, according to the laws of our court, you should immediately be sentenced to 20 rods. ”

Seeing this, other officials also echoed their voices, "Your Majesty, Cui Hao should be punished with a cane ......in court" At the moment, the hall boiled again.

Lu Zuo, who was standing in the corner of the main hall, was also very anxious, it seemed that Cui Hao must have full confidence in bringing down Li Shizhi, otherwise he would not be so cautious that he would not contradict his boss like this, let alone let his uncle not get off the stage in front of the emperor and the prince.

"Silence!" Emperor Han's deep voice, the hall followed to regain calm, and Emperor Han continued to ask with interest, "Cui Aiqing, do you have any evidence?" If not, then it is difficult to escape the cane. ”

"There is ......"

Cui Hao's concise and neat answer made the officials present stunned, and everyone looked at each other, it has been twelve years since this case, where is there any evidence? This Cui Hao can't really get the evidence from somewhere, right? Liu Yan, Xu Bingde and others were already sweating profusely in a hurry, and Li Shizhi was even more frightened, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, and his hands were trembling in his wide sleeves.

Emperor Han frowned, could the situation really be true? couldn't help but say: "Cui Hao, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, if you are falsely accused and slandered, what crime do you know?" ”

Cui Hao swore and bowed his hand and said, "It's clear!" ”

"Then present your evidence!"

"The evidence that the minister said is waiting outside the palace!"

"People?" Emperor Han frowned and said, "Could it be those two jailers back then?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Cui Hao said confidently, "But it's not two people, but one of them." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hall exploded again, and they began to discuss. Li Shizhi's head "buzzed", and then began to spin around, his face was confused, shocked, helpless, fearful, anxious, and his heart was mixed, so he had to bury his head in a daze, and he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the other people around him.

The crown prince Liu Yan also sweated in his palms, could it be that his uncle would really plant a big heel this time? What to do? Should you sit on the sidelines and try to protect yourself? Or do you fight for your uncle? Or is it a plea?

"One?" Emperor Han asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"Someone will come later, and Your Majesty can ask him in person."

"Xuan ......," Emperor Han immediately ordered.

The Xuanzheng Hall was like a pool of stagnant water at this time, and everyone was waiting for the answer to come, waiting for the jailer to unveil it for everyone. Of course, if the jailer's words are only relied on, it may only allow the emperor to retry the case, but it may not necessarily make the prime minister worry about his life. However, seeing that Cui Hao is aggressive, and he also brought the jailer who happened that year, he must have come prepared, and it must not be so simple as letting the emperor retry the case, which everyone knows, after all, Li Shizhi is the prime minister of the dynasty, and it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, just because he is the elder brother of Empress Li and the emperor's brother-in-law, if there is no full evidence to prove that Li Shizhi secretly operated Wu Qingfeng's case, it is estimated that within a few days, he will appear in the Xuanzheng Hall in a grand manner.

Just when everyone was immersed in reverie, the guard led a person to the main hall.
