"I've met Scholar Lee, my lords."

After entering the hall of Fusi in Jinyi Weibei Town, Li Kezhuo was slightly stunned when he saw the civil and military ministers on both sides of the hall, he didn't expect so many people to come to hear the trial, and then cheered up and came to the front of the hall to salute Li Hongyu and the adults present.

"Li Kezhuo, the official asked you, why did the waiter who tested the medicine die?"

Li Hongyu stared at Li Kezhuo for a while, and then asked in a deep voice with an expressionless face, to everyone's surprise, he did not mention the Yunyou Fangshi, but asked about the inner servant who was bleeding after the test of medicine.

"Scholar, this official has already said that the 'elixir' can only be taken by those who are destined, how can it be possessed by those who are blessed!" Li Kezhuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Li Hongyu meant for a while, so that the words he had prepared before could not come in handy, and he replied after stabilizing his somewhat flustered mind.

"So, another chamberlain is destined to be a person?" Li Hongyu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and asked in a cold voice.

"Exactly!" Li Kezhuo nodded with a serious expression, he has no way out now, he can only grit his teeth and hold on, do you want him to admit that Emperor Taichang's death is related to him?

"If the will of heaven is like this, the official has nothing to say, but God has the virtue of a good life, and he gave such a miraculous elixir, then he must want to help the world and save people and benefit the people in the world."

Li Hongyu groaned for a moment when he heard this, and then glared at Li Kezhuo with a serious expression and asked, "Therefore, how can God use a cruel way to punish the people of the world who have mistakenly taken the elixir?" Even if there is a punishment, shouldn't the culprits who give the elixir to those who have no fate be punished? ”

Hearing this, Li Kezhuo's face suddenly changed, and the direction of Li Hongyu's attack was completely outside his imagination, making him not know how to answer in a hurry, after all, the waiter who tested the medicine died too miserably.

When the ministers on the jury heard this, there was also a commotion, and they whispered privately about the chamberlain who had died after testing the medicine, and they all shook their heads secretly.

The ministers of Tuogu had witnessed the death of the inner servant, but at that time, because everyone's attention was focused on the magical effect of the "elixir" offered by Li Kezhuo, they didn't care about the inner servant, and now after Li Hongyu mentioned it, everyone realized that the death of the inner servant was really too miserable.

"Providence is like this, and the official is helpless!"

Seeing that the ministers on the jury were all talking about the chamberlain who died after testing the medicine, and they all thought that his death was a bit miserable, Li Kezhuo suddenly panicked, and hurriedly opened his mouth to quibble.

"Providence?"

Hearing this, Li Hongyu looked at Li Kezhuo coldly, "As far as this official knows, you have neither cultivated the Tao nor studied the I Ching gossip before, how can you know the will of heaven?" ”

"Scholar Li, although the official doesn't know what the will of heaven is, but the elixir can manifest the will of heaven, and those who are destined to serve will be eliminated, and those who are not destined will die immediately."

Li Kezhuo's face changed again, he knew that Li Hongyu was saying that he was using the word "providence" in vain, so he suppressed the panic in his heart and said, it is true that he killed the elixir in one bite.

"Li Kezhuo, you once said in front of Emperor Daxing that the 'elixir' you offered was a gift from a previous immortal, is this true?"

Seeing Li Kezhuo's stubborn posture of resisting to the end, Li Hongyu sneered in his heart, he didn't expect Li Kezhuo to confess at all, so Yu Feng asked instead.

"Of course, otherwise this official will not be dedicated to Emperor Daxing." Li Kezhuo nodded solemnly when he heard this, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Li Hongyu finally asked the question he had prepared for.

"Have you verified the effectiveness of the elixir?" Since Li Hongyu was promoted to the court to try this case, he must have already made up his mind and asked in an orderly manner.

"The elixir is naturally obtained by those who are destined, and when the immortal chief gave the official the elixir, he once warned the official that the elixir was originally a heavenly immortal, so if you want to appear in the world, you must choose a suitable time."

Li Kezhuo raised his head and looked at Li Hongyu when he heard this, and said with a serious expression, putting on an unfathomable posture, anyway, those illusory things can't verify the authenticity, he can say whatever he wants.

"Do you mean that after Emperor Daxing posted a notice to seek medical treatment, it was just the time for the elixir to appear?" The corners of Li Hongyu's mouth suddenly flashed with a sneer of disdain, and he asked expressionlessly.

Obviously, Li Kezhuo replied like this in order not to exonerate the elixir to Emperor Wanli, Li Kezhuo is not a stupid person, and he has already thought of the rhetoric when he offered the elixir to Emperor Taichang.

"Exactly." Li Kezhuo nodded solemnly when he heard this, he was not afraid of Li Hongyu mentioning Emperor Wanli at all.

"I see." Li Hongyu pretended to be thoughtful and nodded, and seemed to be talking to himself, "It turned out that the official was suspicious, and I thought that you deliberately didn't give the elixir to Lord Wanli." ”

"As a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, this official should be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, if it weren't for the repeated advice of the immortal chief, how could he not offer the elixir!" Li Kezhuo hurriedly explained when he heard this, and at the same time secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that the matter of Emperor Wanli has been prevaricated by him, could it be that Li Hongyu wants to find the "immortal chief" who was fictionalized by him?

Seeing that the look on Li Kezhuo's face became a little relaxed, Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of disdain that was not easy to detect, Li Kezhuo seemed to underestimate him, if he couldn't even deal with Li Kezhuo's little tricks, how could he have the current high position?

"Since that immortal chief gave you the elixir, then it seems that you have a good chance."

Then, Li Hongyu pondered for a while, stared at Li Kezhuo and said word by word, "But what makes this official feel strange is that since that immortal chief is an immortal in the sky, he can naturally predict what will happen after Emperor Daxing takes the elixir, but he still gave it to you, and this official doesn't know if you are a chance or a bad fate!" ”

With a bang, the ministers who heard the trial at the scene heard the meaning of Li Hongyu's words, Li Hongyu was questioning Li Kezhuo's claim that the elixir came from an immortal, and if that immortal existed, he would definitely know that Emperor Taichang died suddenly after taking medicine, so it was completely harming Li Kezhuo.

"Destiny cannot be violated!"

Li Kezhuo's face changed, and he found that Li Hongyu was much more difficult than he imagined, and then replied with a gloomy face, "This official has already been warned by the immortal chief when he got the elixir, and if the person who takes it has no chance with the elixir, it will have unexpected consequences, because the official is too greedy and wants the elixir, and as a result, there is a current ending." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are useless, although they are ordered to offer medicine, but to no avail, they really deserve death!" As he spoke, Li Kezhuo arched his hand upwards obliquely, and shouted with a sad and angry expression, looking distressed.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and a cold snort occurred in his mouth, Li Kezhuo wanted to remind the ministers who were hearing the trial that he was an elixir offered by the holy decree of Emperor Taichang, and whether the elixir could save Emperor Taichang's life had nothing to do with him.

The ministers present couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, this is the most troublesome part of this case, Li Kezhuo did not offer the elixir for no reason, it was Emperor Taichang who acted according to the decree after issuing the holy decree to seek medical treatment, because the holy decree was involved, the case became very complicated, and Li Kezhuo could not be easily convicted.

This is also an important reason why Li Kezhuo was later exonerated and was only sentenced to exile to the frontier, and he could not be convicted of capital until it was determined that the elixir was the cause of Emperor Taichang's sudden death.

"Li Kezhuo, you really deserve death!"

Li Hongyu really didn't want to watch the farce of "loyalty to the monarch and patriotism" performed by Li Kezhuo, so he slapped the shocked wood hard, pointed at Li Kezhuo, who arched his hands diagonally upward, and scolded in a deep voice, "Until now, are you still obsessed?" ”

"What do you mean by that, Scholar Li?"

Li Kezhuo was shocked when he heard this, he knew that Li Hongyu was going to have a showdown with him, so he became nervous, and asked calmly after putting down the hand that was raised diagonally upward.

Because Li Kezhuo has been locked up in prison, he does not know the progress of Li Hongyu's investigation of the case and what kind of evidence he has in his hands, so he can only take one step at a time and respond to all changes without change.

"Don't think that you can hide the sea by calling those red pills that are sacrificed 'elixir', the official will tell you, and if you talk too wildly, the official will also expose your lies one by one."

Seeing Li Kezhuo pretending to be stupid there, Li Hongyu looked at him with a sneer and said, "Li Kezhuo, don't think that what you did is unaware, but you made a big mistake!" ”

"Red pills?" Li Kezhuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he quickly realized that it was the elixir he offered, which could be called a "red pill" because it was a red pill, and then looked at Li Hongyu suspiciously, "Senior Scholar Li, this official doesn't understand what you mean, can you make it clearer?" ”

"Since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, then this official will fulfill you."

Li Hongyu knew that Li Kezhuo must be very puzzled in his heart now, and wanted to know what big mistake he had made, so he shouted outside the hall, "Come, bring witnesses!" ”

"Meet Scholar Li and your Excellency." With Li Hongyu's order, the four people wearing the official uniforms of the errand were taken to the court by the soldiers of the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, and bowed and saluted under the gaze of everyone.

"Tell the adults here who you are." Li Hongyu glanced at the four people in official uniforms and asked quietly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and Ying Tianfu." The leader of the four was an old man in his sixties, who took a step forward when he heard this, bowed his hand to the ministers present, and reported his home.

"Serving?" Including Li Kezhuo, the people at the scene showed puzzled expressions, not knowing what Li Hongyu was looking for.

"Tell your lords the results of your autopsy." Summoning the puppet is naturally related to the autopsy, Li Hongyu said in a deep voice to the leading puppet.

"My lords, after careful examination by us, the waiter who died after testing the medicine died of poisoning." The leader didn't dare to slack off, and bowed back.

"Poisoned?" Hearing this, those civil and military officials at the scene were taken aback and looked at each other, could it be that Li Kezhuo dared to poison the pill he offered?

"There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add!" Li Kezhuo's face became very ugly in an instant, he never expected that Li Hongyu would actually attack him from the dead chamberlain, and said loudly in a hurry.
