Lu Hai and the others couldn't help but glance at each other after listening to Ma Xianglin's words, and then lowered their heads one after another, although they had confessed to Ma Xianglin last night, but no one could be this up-and-coming bird to avoid being hated, so they could only continue to wait for the opportunity.

As expected by the outside world, Lu Hai and the others are all experienced people, and at this time, they can naturally hear from Ma Xianglin's court trial that they did not directly let them confess, and they were quite protective in their words, otherwise they could just take out their confessions last night.

"The official counts three times, and the repentant person will automatically stand up, otherwise the official will act according to the law!"

Ma Xianglin looked at Lu Hai and the others quietly, and after slapping the shocked wood hard, he issued an ultimatum in a loud voice, "University scholars are the mainstay of the country, don't you feel guilty for killing them for your own selfish interests?" ”

"Young and vigorous!"

Seeing that Ma Xianglin actually set a time limit for Tian Gaofeng, Lu Hai and others to confess, the officials of the jury couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts, thinking that Ma Xianglin was too young to be too young to be rash, how could the court trial be as simple as he imagined?

However, the people outside the hall looked at the scene in front of them with interest, wondering whether Ma Xianglin's warning would make Tian Gaofeng, Lu Hai and others confess.

"One...... 2. ......"

Under the gaze of everyone, Ma Xianglin, who was confident, quietly began to report the count, how could he be the kind of young and frivolous person who had been with Li Hongyu for so long?

"Three!"

Finally, Ma Xianglin's eyes flashed with a cold light and then reported the last number in a deep voice, if Lu Hai and the others were smart, they would seize this opportunity to confess.

"Guilty below!"

Just when the officials of the jury were quite disapproving of this, a scene that stunned the people at the scene appeared, only to see that the businessmen except Tian Gaofeng took a step forward in unison, and then knelt on the ground in unison and said to Ma Xianglin.

"They confessed!"

At this moment, not only the officials of the jury, but even the people outside the hall were extremely shocked, never expecting that Lu Hai and others would unexpectedly admit their guilt.

"You...... You ......" Tian Gaofeng's face turned pale, and he turned to look at Lu Hai and the others in amazement, no matter what, he didn't expect that everyone except him would confess.

"Tian Gaofeng, can you plead guilty?" At this time, Ma Xianglin looked at Tian Gaofeng coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"I am not guilty, I can't admit it!" Tian Gaofeng's face changed a few times when he heard this, and then he gritted his teeth and looked at Ma Xianglin, he was the culprit unlike Lu Hai and the others, so in his opinion, there was no way out at all.

"Tian Gaofeng, this official has already given you a chance, but you don't know how to cherish it, so don't blame the ruthlessness of the Ming Law at that time!"

Ma Xianglin had already guessed that Tian Gaofeng would resist stubbornly, so he sneered and said to him, "Wait a minute, this official will convince you!" ”

"Are you genuinely confessing?" As he spoke, Ma Xianglin no longer paid attention to Tian Gaofeng, who was bloodless, and looked at Lu Hai and the others who were kneeling there and asked.

"Go back to your lordship, and repent of your sins in good faith." Where did Lu Hai and the others still have a choice, so they replied in unison again.

"Okay, in that case, then you can write down how to plot to kill the scholar, and the official should check it in court to see if it is consistent, lest anyone be lucky!"

Ma Xianglin frowned slightly when he heard this, and then glanced at Tian Gaofeng, who was standing alone in front of the hall, and then ordered in a deep voice, "Come on, give them pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and let them write a confession." ”

With Ma Xianglin's order, the officials of the Customs Department immediately brought the paper and pen that had been prepared, and Lu Hai and the others then lay down on the stool and wrote down the things of the day as they were.

"How did they confess so quickly? I haven't even used the big punishment yet! ”

"Didn't you hear, Scholar Li has already spoken, and if he repents, he will be lenient with those involved in the case."

"Can you believe the words of the government? If the presiding judge turns around, they won't have any way out. ”

"I heard that Mr. Li promised a thousand dollars, and they must have known that Mr. Li wanted to forgive them, so they seized the opportunity to confess."

"I heard that Mr. Li was a master of trial before the imperial examination, and he even solved a strange case before entering Beijing to take the exam, so this case must not be a problem, so Master Lu and they confessed to the crime."

……

While Lu Hai and others were writing confessions there, the people outside the hall were talking about it, and they were shocked and puzzled by Lu Hai and others' confessions.

The officials of the jury also whispered to each other about Lu Hai and others' confessions, and the development of the matter was completely beyond their expectations, didn't Lu Hai and others know the consequences of doing so?

Compared with outsiders, Tian Gaofeng, an insider, had a blank mind at this time, looking at Lu Hai and the others who were writing their confessions there with a pale face, and really couldn't understand why Lu Hai and the others would confess together, in this case, he would undoubtedly become the target of the public, and there was no way to retreat!

Ma Xianglin sat leisurely behind the desk and sipping tea, feeling very comfortable, this feeling of controlling the overall situation is really wonderful, Tian Gaofeng is now completely an inescapable prey, waiting to be slaughtered by him wantonly.

After a period of waiting, Lu Hai and others wrote confessions one after another, signed and handed them to the officials of the Customs Department on the side, and the officials of the Customs Department then presented them to Ma Xianglin.

"Say it over again and let everyone hear it." Ma Xianglin looked through the confession, the expression on his face became more relaxed, and he solemnly instructed the officials of the Customs Department standing under the hall that since today is a public trial, it is natural to let everyone at the scene listen to the content of the confession.

When the official heard this, he took the confessions and read them out one by one, which soon caused an uproar among the people at the scene, and although the angles and details of several confessions were different, the core content was the same, and they all pointed out that Tian Gaofeng was the culprit in the assassination of Li Hongyu.

This made Tian Gaofeng's face change and unusually ugly, the cold sweat on his forehead rolled down his cheeks, and his breathing involuntarily became short, there was no doubt that he had been forced to a dead end at this time.

"Tian Gaofeng, what do you have to say?" After reading the confessions, Ma Xianglin put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Tian Gaofeng and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to my lord, this is their slanderous words, they want to get rid of it, so they are framed, please find out." Tian Gaofeng wiped the sweat from his forehead when he heard this, and bowed to Ma Xianglin with a grim expression.

"It's so hateful that you're still stubborn." Ma Xianglin immediately sneered when he heard this, stared at Tian Gaofeng coldly and said, "Since you don't see the coffin and don't cry, then this official will convince you!" ”

"This officer asks you, in addition to being interrogated once when you were in prison, but you were still interrogated? Have you ever written a confession and signed it? If so, bring it up now! ”

As he spoke, Ma Xianglin looked at Tian Gaofeng coldly and asked.

"I have indeed only been interrogated once, and I have met the governor and other adults, and I have not written a confession, nor have I signed a detain!"

Tian Gaofeng's eyes couldn't help but flash a look of doubt when he heard this, he didn't know what Ma Xianglin meant by asking, but now that the situation was urgent, where did he have to think carefully, so he subconsciously shook his head.

"Show him this." Ma Xianglin's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he picked up a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to an official in front of the hall.

Under the curious gaze of everyone, the official came to Tian Gaofeng, showed the paper in front of him, and let him see the contents of the paper.

Tian Gaofeng didn't think that Ma Xianglin had any evidence in his hands, otherwise he wouldn't have been hanging out and not interrogating him before, but when he saw what was written on the paper clearly, his expression immediately changed, and he never imagined that this thing would be in Ma Xianglin's hands.

"Show it to all the adults!" Seeing that Tian Gaofeng was taken aback, a sneer flashed at the corner of Ma Xianglin's mouth, and he instructed the official holding the paper, it seems that the things on the paper caught Ma Xianglin off guard, making him chaotic.

After reading the contents of the paper, the officials of the jury showed shocked expressions on their faces, this piece of paper is nothing else, it is one of the offensive and defensive alliance books signed by Tian Gaofeng and Lu Hai and others, with the signatures and handprints of Tian Gaofeng and others.

The people outside the hall didn't know what was written on the paper, but when they saw the surprised looks of the officials on the jury, they knew that it must be an important piece of material evidence that could convict Tian Gaofeng.

"Tian Gaofeng, do you recognize this thing?" Waiting for the offensive and defensive alliance book to return to his hand, Ma Xianglin slapped the startled wood hard, and then raised the alliance book in his hand and asked Tian Gaofeng coldly.

"Lord Hui, I've never seen this thing before, and the signature and handprint on it are also forged!"

Tian Gaofeng, who was in a mess in his mind, came back to his senses when he heard this, gritted his teeth and replied, no wonder Ma Xianglin was so confident, it turned out that he had such an important piece of evidence in his hand, and nine times out of ten it was searched from someone's home, which was really beyond his expectations.

"Forgery?"

Ma Xianglin sneered when he heard this, and said, "The signature can be forged, but there is only one handprint on it in the world, there is no similarity, it cannot be forged at all, as long as you take your handprint for comparison, it will be clear whether it is forged or not!" ”

"Yes...... You took my handprints on a blank piece of paper in the prison, and then wrote these things to close the case with me as a substitute for the dead! ”

Tian Gaofeng's face was repeated again when he heard this, and he naturally knew that the handprint on it was real, so he opened his mouth in a hurry to defend himself.

"If that is the case, why didn't you raise the matter in court before?" Ma Xianglin's brows suddenly furrowed, it was obvious that Tian Gaofeng had begun to mess around now.

"I didn't know your intentions before, but now it seems that they were planning to harm me." Tian Gaofeng had already come back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly replied in a loud voice, this was the best reason why he could explain that the alliance had his handprint on it.

With a bang, the people outside the lobby suddenly became commotion, and they all disdained Tian Gaofeng's words, even they could see that Tian Gaofeng was lying.

If Tian Gaofeng had suffered such unfair treatment in prison, he would have said it when Ma Xianglin asked him just now, and Tian Gaofeng had sworn that he had never signed and drawn a detention since he was arrested!

"Step by step, not a drop of water!"

The officials on both sides of the hall couldn't help but glance at each other, and it was only then that they realized that Ma Xianglin had already mastered the conclusive criminal evidence of Tian Gaofeng and others, and everything just now was just a trap for Tian Gaofeng, which made Tian Gaofeng indefensible now.
