An old case caused an uproar, and it reminded Li Longji of those memories that had long been blurred.

That year, an orphan who had lost his father was brought to him, evoking the compassion of the emperor, and he was really raised as his own child at that time.

Now, the child has passed away, and his daughters are all married to women, holding a paper to avenge their father's grievances, which seems to have touched a certain string in his heart.

It's been three years, and after three years, he learned that there is another hidden story here, his own children, he can not be seen, beaten and scolded, but it doesn't mean that he can be bullied casually, Li Longji lowered his eyes, he couldn't see joy and anger, those words swept in front of him over and over again, and finally became a specific figure, and the person he put outside to leave for the latter was actually poisoned.

There was silence in the hall, only the occasional "rustling" sound of paper, Ge Shuhan looked at the floor under his feet without blinking, it seemed that there was a flower on it, and the woman standing in the middle lowered her eyebrows, waiting quietly.

After a while, Li Longji raised his head, glanced at the two of them, and called his cronies.

"Colliers."

"The old slave is here."

"Take her to the side hall, and don't wait any longer."

Gao Lishi took Wang Yunxiu out according to his words, and Li Longji watched her figure disappear and turned his gaze to Ge Shuhan.

"What happened three years ago, why is it only revealed today? What do you eat in the government office? ”

Ge Shuhan raised his head in astonishment, picked up Chao Wat and said, "It's all the dereliction of duty of the subordinates. ”

At that time, it was still Li Linfu's court that covered the sky with one hand, and it was easy to drown a local matter, or send it down lightly, Li Longji immediately reacted and waved his hand: "I just feel it, and I don't do your business." ”

"What do you think?"

"If the minister is a border commander, he will ask His Majesty to strictly investigate at the meeting, but now that he is in the center, he can only respectfully ask His Majesty for a holy judgment."

Ge Shuhan replied in a proper manner, Li Longji understood what he meant, the matter is not simple, it involves the predecessor of Zaifu and a favored minister, and a large number of people may be implicated, this is no longer a simple criminal case.

As a result, the ministers of the political affairs hall, including the crown prince, were summoned to the Qinzheng Building, and the paper-like paper circulated in everyone's hands, and those shocking accusations made everyone's hearts unable to calm down.

"Done it all? Tell me what you think. ”

Zhongshu ordered Chen Xilie to sit under the prince, Li Mao sat opposite him, followed by Zhang Jun in the waiter, the three of them are the heads of the political hall, the words of the Son of Heaven, that is, for them, Chen Xilie's qualifications are the oldest.

"The minister has a confession here, which was just sent by Dali Temple, which involves the beginning and end of the case, and I implore the Supreme Imperial Review."

Li Mao stood up and handed the confession to Gao Lishi, who immediately sent it to Li Longji's case.

Li Longji only looked at the beginning, immediately turned to the end, went to see the name of the chief judge, and then raised his head, his eyes turned on the body of the crown prince Li Heng, Li Heng sat upright, and even his waist, which was a little rickety on weekdays, seemed to be a little straighter.

"Yang Guozhong, hum, it's really impressive, you all take a look."

Chen Xilie was the first to receive it, only flipped it over slightly and then handed it to Zhang Jun, the more Zhang Jun looked at it, the more frightened he became, so that when he gave it to Ge Shuhan, his fingers were a little white, Ge Shuhan read it carefully, and returned it to Gao Lishi.

"What about the prince, don't you take a look?"

"The minister has already seen it when he was in the province." Li Heng turned sideways and bowed his head in reply.

Li Longji threw the confession on several cases, put it together with the previous piece of paper, and said coldly.

"The first complaint is here, the confession is also there, how to deal with it, can the political affairs hall have a conclusion?"

The matter was revealed in front of the king, and for the political affairs hall that had only been established for less than a month, it was not hesitant to be tested, if Li Mao had the power of Li Linfu, his decision would be Zaifu's decision, and there would be no problem at all, but he was not.

Li Mao looked at Chen Xilie first, the old man hung his head and didn't know what he was thinking, he had to urge.

"Chen Xiangguo, what does Zhongshu Province think?"

"Since the facts are clear, let's do it according to the law."

Li Mao looked at Zhang Jun again, and the latter arched his hand and said.

"Three years have passed since the incident, there is no human and material evidence, even the main messenger has passed away, although there is a confession, it is too far-fetched, the people involved in the case, Wang Ji and Luo Xizao have been ambushed, Ji Wen is in the court, and the rest such as Yuan Xi, Wei Zhi and others have already been imprisoned, and there is almost nothing left, in the final analysis, Yang Guozhong is just a person who handles it, and there is something inappropriate in severe punishment and leniency, Your Highness thinks twice."

Li Mao nodded noncommittally and turned to Ge Shuhan.

"What does the king mean?"

"Lynching is unforgivable."

Ge Shuhan replied succinctly, and after listening to their opinions, Li Mao turned around, picked up the chao wat, and bowed his hand in the direction of the throne.

"The ministers have been discussed."

"Come on."

"Yang Guozhong used lynching to harm his colleagues, the crime is unforgivable, and he is going to be beheaded, and he is instructed by others, demoted to one level, hanged, executed after the autumn, confiscated private property, and his wife flows for a thousand miles."

Li Mao's voice was not loud, but it was like a lightning strike in everyone's hearts, even the prince looked at him a few more times, only Li Longji's face did not change, and he said lightly.

"What about Li Linfu?"

"Pursue the title, and bury the coffin."

The crowd was in an uproar, which was tantamount to digging the dead out of the ground, replacing it with a thin coffin and burying it, which was a little better than dissecting the coffin and killing the corpse.

"Do you all think the same thing?"

Ge Shuhan replied first: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Chen Xilie then replied: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Zhang Jun opened his mouth, and finally bowed his head and replied: "The minister has no opinion." ”

Menxia Province has the right to refute, and his words also represent Li Mao's opinion in the political hall, and Li Longji ordered the last person in the hall.

"What about the prince, do you also second?"

Li Heng slowly stood up, turned to the direction of the throne, and raised his hand.

"The ministers of the political hall are in charge of the government, such a disposal is naturally appropriate, but there seems to be something to discuss, Yang Guozhong has committed three years, Wang Jiedu has been harmed by people for three years, and there is not only a word into the forbidden, to a weak woman to beat the drum, if this matter is an edict to the world, how can the imperial court face the raging situation, the supreme Qianqiu holy name is actually a villain's ears, such a situation, but also to reduce the sentence, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."

Including Li Longji, everyone's eyes looked over, is this still the prince who can't shrink?

Li Mao sighed secretly, the other party's goal, really wanted to make Yang Guozhong die, although he was sentenced to death, but it could be put in the autumn queen, according to the rules, before the autumn decision, it will be reconsidered, most of the half a year's effort, it is not surprising that anything happens, the pen is held in the emperor's hand, if you want to be gracious, there will be no obstacles, so that you can advance and retreat, and now it is exposed by the prince, and what is difficult to do has become the Son of Heaven.

Li Longji's face was not much embarrassed, but he looked at the gray-haired son with interest, and was about to speak, when suddenly a news came from outside the palace, which shocked everyone present.

Someone actually robbed Yang Guozhong, the felony they discussed, from the imperial city!
