Chapter 69: Procrastination
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the confession of the guards of the Wang family, someone gave him ten taels of gold to go outside the city to spread the word, not from the Wang family, and he did not know the person who gave him the money, and the money had been found under the confession of the prisoner." Dai Zheng bowed and said.
"What?" Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others who heard this all secretly said that it was not good, and if the only witness did not testify, it would be difficult for Qin Feng not to die. Even Li Shimin, who was sitting above, was secretly bad in his heart, although he prevented the family from attacking, he didn't expect the people of the family to tamper with the testimony and evidence.
"Present me with my testimony!" Li Shimin said.
Dai Zheng took out the testimony from his arms, stepped forward and handed it to Gonggong Li, who took it and turned around and handed it back to Li Shimin.
The atmosphere in the entire hall was a little solemn, Qin Qiong and the others looked anxious, thinking about how to deal with it, while the officials of the family showed joy on their faces.
After reading the testimony, Li Shimin's face was like frost, and this testimony said that the Wang family guards were bribed by unknown personnel and went to spread the word outside the city, and they did not know that it was Gao Ziyan who was kidnapped.
"Your Majesty, since this matter has been found out that the guards were bribed, and not instructed by the Wang family, then this matter has nothing to do with the Wang family, God sent Qin Feng to use force in the capital, one of the crimes, kidnapping the court officials, the second crime, killing Wang Jingxuan without authorization, and the third, according to the Tang Dynasty decree, Qin Feng was punished for all three crimes, which is the crime of killing the head. Please give your Majesty a decree! Punish the heavens and wait for Qin Feng! ”
"Your Majesty, please give an order!"
As soon as an official finished speaking, a large group of people followed and stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, there are still many doubts in this matter, and there will be no mistake in following the retainer of the Wang family and arresting it personally. Qin Feng can't be convicted for the time being! The minister wants to interrogate the Wang family guards in person! Forget Your Majesty's permission! Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice rang out at the right time.
Li Shimin was trying to figure out how to delay Qin Feng when he heard Cheng Biting Jin's words. But how could the people of the family give up such a good opportunity. Without waiting for Li Shimin to speak, he continued.
"Your Majesty, the ministers know that the heavens have given Qin Feng a lot of merits, but the merits of the crime of killing cannot be compensated, and please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish Qin Feng as soon as possible!!"
"Please give your majesty an order!" Many people from the family persecuted again.
Li Shimin was a little angry in his heart, forcing the palace.
"Enough! Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui obey orders! ”
"The old minister is here!" Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui stood up and said.
"I want you to go to Dali Temple to try this case anew! Find the people behind the scenes! Ten days, let me find out. Li Shimin stood up and said.
"Obey the order!" The three of them bowed.
"Retreat!" Li Shimin turned around and walked out, ignoring the people of the family who continued to play. Li Shimin, who came out of the main hall, sighed, thinking, Qin Feng, Qin Feng, it is the first time that I have been forced to retreat from the dynasty, and I have delayed it for you, and it will be up to you next.
Dali Temple, Qin Feng's prison, except for Qin Feng, Li Ke, Cheng Chumo, Yu Chi Baolin, Changsun Chong and others who should be there.
"Fengzi, I'm afraid that the court will not be quiet today, and the people of the family will probably impeach and execute you to Your Majesty today!" Changsun Chong said that in the past two days, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Chong analyzed the current situation, which made Changsun Chong very worried about Qin Feng's situation.
"What about Your Majesty? Fengzi has so much credit, won't Your Majesty protect Fengzi? Cheng Chumo asked Li Ke.
"My father's side is also under a lot of pressure, if there is no sufficient evidence to prove that the Wang family kidnapped Gao Ziyan, then Fengzi's side will be in danger!" Li Ke said.
"The Wang family guard we arrested that day is not a witness, and with him to testify, I am afraid that the Wang family will not admit it!" Yu Chi Baolin said.
"The guard is a guard of the Wang family, I'm afraid that this guard will tell a lie, then Fengzi is difficult to distinguish, after all, before the interrogation, Fengzi killed Wang Jingxuan in front of His Majesty!" Changsun Chong said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, just help me keep an eye on when the people of the little family can come to Chang'an recently." When the families arrive, help me invite people over, and I will have my own plans when the time comes. Chu Mo, Pauline, you two have been going to the cement factory more recently, and opening a few more kilns, and after a while, they will be used. Qin Feng said to the brothers.
"Okay, I got it." Cheng Chumo agreed.
"By the way, Fengzi, Zhang Dayong is back!" Qin Huaiyu said to Qin Feng.
"Brother Zhang is back!" Qin Feng looked surprised, and asked Qin Huaiyu, "Did you bring back any grain?" ”
"Brought it back, tens of thousands of catties, according to him, the price of grain over there is very low, and there are still people over there who are collecting it, he just brought more than half of it back! I'll bring him to you tomorrow! Qin Huaiyu said.
"Good! Huaiyu, if you go back today, build more granaries and seal all the grain you brought back, it won't be long before it will be of great use! Qin Feng said to Qin Huaiyu.
"Good! I'll take someone to build it when I go back today! Qin Huaiyu agreed.
"Xiao Ke, Chongyi, you two are now staying in Chang'an and watching our business, the perfume shop is temporarily closed, and I will talk about it when I go out."
"Good!"
"Oko, the drawings over there are all for you, and arrange for the craftsmen to build the tools you need as soon as possible!"
"Well, I've already arranged for the craftsman to do it!"
"Huaiyu, have you done everything about Zi Yan?" Qin Feng asked calmly towards Qin Huaiyu.
"It's all done as you say!" When several people heard this topic, they all looked at Qin Feng with some concern, and they all knew that Gao Ziyan's death was a big blow to Qin Feng.
"Okay, you all go back, aren't you going to sell paper today? Let's go, keep an eye on the dots, and see if anyone is messing around! After Qin Feng finished speaking to a few people, he lay on the meadow, looking like a send-off.
Several people glanced at each other, sighed, said goodbye to Qin Feng, got up and walked out.
Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin went to the cement factory, Qin Huaiyu and Li Zhen went back to Qinzhuang to build a granary, Li Ke and Li Chongyi went to the restaurant, and Changsun Chong rushed to Dongshi.
When the eldest grandson rushed to the shop that sold paper, he saw a lot of scholars lined up, and these scholars were dressed in ordinary clothes, and some of them had patches on their clothes.
The front has been blocked by the students who bought paper, and he can't get in, so Changsun Chong can only enter the store through the back door, and in the store, there are neatly transported papers, all of which are cut. And the workers' door only needs to divide the paper for sale, ten sheets and a pile of twenty wen, which is the price negotiated by Li Shimin and Qin Feng.
The shop was noisy, and the scholar who entered the store looked at the paper behind him, and his face was full of joy.
"It's really paper, such beautiful paper! Bring me twenty! ”
"This boy is embarrassed, each person is limited to ten copies!"
"Why? Isn't it okay to buy more? I have money! "The scholar is about to be anxious!
"Don't worry, everyone needs more, you can come and buy it every day!"
"What's there every day?" The scholar was very excited.
"It's there every day, don't rush to grab it, if you buy it, go out from there, there are still many people behind!" The little guy who sold said to the scholar over and over again.
