Three days later.

News came from the palace.

The dog that tested the poison bleed, wailed and died.

That Wang Fangshi was also poisoned and died.

Liu Che was too desperate to know the effect.

So just give them those pills to eat.

If so much mercury and lead are poured down, can you not die?

Seeing the result, Liu Che completely believed Wei Yan's words, and in a fit of rage, he killed Wang Fangshi and those Fangshi who pretended to be ghosts.

As for Su Wen, who was imprisoned in the cell, he naturally couldn't escape death.

However, Bingji is reviewing, preparing to use him as a breakthrough to find out more people.

So, for the time being, he can live a few more days.

Those who were implicated with him were frightened and began to jump over the wall to save themselves.

The gang led by Jiang Chong once again framed the chief judge Bingji by framing Prince Wei, slandering that he had a puppet in his house and cursing His Majesty.

At the same time, the Dead began to be sent to assassinate Bingji and Wei Yan.

Under the protection of the eldest princess, the assassination attempts all ended in failure.

However, the witchcraft made Liu Che hesitate again.

He still believed in this ancient witchcraft, and when he was about to send Jiang Chong to investigate thoroughly, Wei Yan took Bingji and took the initiative to enter the palace.

He took out two puppets, and the names of him and Bingji were written on them, and said, "Your Majesty, if you believe that this witchcraft is true, then, please see if the minister and Lord Bingji will die." ”

Liu Che couldn't bear to experiment with him, and said: "Donkey, I believe in you, but this witchcraft has existed since ancient times, and it has always been passed down to this day, and there is always a reason for it." ”

Wei Yan said unceremoniously: "Its truth is to deceive ignorant people with those things that are false. Your Majesty, allow me and Lord Bingji to answer your questions in person. ”

Liu Che saw that he insisted, so he had to agree.

Wei Yan and Bingji lived in the palace and were guarded by guards day and night.

The puppets were buried under their beds, and the guards cursed them every day.

Five days later, there was no change in their bodies, not even a trace of illness.

At this time, Bingji asked people to bring many files, all of which were cases of witchcraft that were falsely accused by the people of Kyoto and the ministers.

Bingji had witnesses brought in again.

All kinds of evidence suggest that most of the people who use witchcraft to denounce others are slandering.

I can't see that others are better off than myself.

Jealous of other people's beautiful wives.

Brothers compete with each other for family property.

Peer-to-peer competition for business.

Even have a grudge because of someone else's words.

They were all denounced by witchcraft.

Because of the occurrence of the witch case, the government attaches great importance to it, and as long as the defendant is informed, he is arrested, tortured, and forced to confess.

Under Bingji's re-examination, those prisoners who were tortured into confessions were all wronged.

This volume of cases illustrates the absurdity and darkness of witchcraft.

The so-called witchcraft of witchcraft and the use of puppets to spell people is completely a trick of deception and deception, and it is not enough to convict anyone.

Even if someone does curse people in this way, it will not have any effect.

"Your Majesty, just like when we are eating, writing, or reading, we point to things around us and curse others, do you think this will really make people sick and even die?"

Wei Yan asked.

"Even if the puppet has blood on it and a name written on it, it is just a trick to deliberately bluff people, and it is completely those villains who take advantage of people's fear of ghosts and gods to deliberately harm people."

Liu Che froze there and didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, Jiang Chong suddenly broke in from outside, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ghosts and gods are above, they blaspheme the ghosts and gods, disrespect witchcraft, and will be punished!" ”

Wei Yan suddenly shouted at him: "Even if there are ghosts and gods, you are the one who will be punished!" You have always had a gap with Prince Wei, and you were afraid that he would retaliate against you after he ascended the throne, so you took advantage of His Majesty's long-term illness to deliberately use witchcraft to talk about things, and finally colluded with Su Wenhan and others to deliberately bury the puppet in the East Palace and frame the prince! For your own selfishness, you killed the prince and the queen, killed so many innocent people who were implicated, made Kyoto bleed, made Your Majesty's father and son kill each other, and made me lose a prince with both ability and integrity! God won't let you go! The ghosts and gods won't let you go! ”

Wei Yan's words were full of resentment and loudness, and even Bingji on the side clenched his fists, full of anger.

Liu Che's whole body trembled, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Chong, don't you know, yes or no?" ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Jiang Chong was terrified, kowtowed desperately, and cried: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" The minister is wronged! ”

"Are you wronged?"

Wei Yan said loudly, raised his sleeves, and suddenly there was a terrible scream and a crying voice from inside: "It's Jiang Chong...... It was Jiang Chong who asked us to bury the puppet in the East Palace...... It was Jiang Chong who was afraid that the prince would settle accounts with him after he ascended the throne, so he asked us to frame the prince together...... Spare your life...... Spare your life......"

It's Su Wen's voice!

Jiang Chong, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly widened his eyes and was terrified.

Wei Yan raised his sleeves and stared at him with a gloomy face: "Su Wen has committed suicide in prison, and his ghost cannot be reincarnated, because he framed the prince with you, tried to poison His Majesty, and killed several innocent people implicated in the witch Gu case. He will go to eighteen layers of hell and be burned at the stake day and night! So, he's repenting! He was begging bitterly, begging the prince and queen who had died unjustly, begging for the tens of thousands of innocent lives he had killed, begging them to forgive him! ”

"Jiang Chong! Your sins are a hundred times heavier than his, and you will be tormented even more painfully than he is when you die! You first killed the father and son of Zhao Guojun, and now you killed the prince and the queen, don't you still admit your guilt? ”

With the last shout, Jiang Chong suddenly collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, frightened feces and urine, and his face was colorless.

"Jiang Chong! Don't you plead guilty? Will you be like me forever without being reborn? ”

In Wei Yan's sleeve robe, Su Wen's sharp and poignant voice came again.

Jiang Chong suddenly screamed in horror, his body shrunk into a ball, his hands covered his ears, and he cried and shouted: "Confess, I confess ......"

Liu Che on the stage, also with a blank face, trembling all over, suddenly said with tears on his face: "According to the son, according to the son, the father blames you, blames you......"

At this time, Wei Yan's sleeve robe shook, and there was no sound inside.

Bingji on the side, looking dumbfounded.

Su Wenming is still in prison, although he was tortured and dying, but he is not dead at all, how can he commit suicide?

And why is his soul in this sleeve?

Bingji's worldview has been completely subverted.

Wei Yan's chest rose and fell violently, and the hatred and anger buried in it were finally vented.

Since you believe in ghosts and gods, then, I will use ghosts and gods to close the case!

It was a day that everyone in the Great Yan Empire would remember.

Prince Wei was rehabilitated.

Jiang Chong, Su Wenhan, and others were beheaded all over the house!

In the midst of Kyoto, blood flowed again.

All those who had participated in framing and attacking the crown prince were killed one by one.

The Son of Heaven built a thinking womb, ascended the tower to repent, and granted amnesty to the world.

The eldest princess, Ma Weiyan, was named the Marquis of Guannei for her merits, and became the youngest and most favored minister of the Great Yan Empire.
