"Lord Yang, you said that I deliberately killed the people, and said that the evidence is conclusive. www.biquge.info In that case, can you show me the hard evidence, so that I can be convinced? Li Canghai said lightly.

"Good! This official will leave you with nothing to say! Yang Guozhong didn't give Li Heng a chance to open his mouth at all, and said loudly: "Come on, bring witnesses to the court!" ”

Moments later, several witnesses were brought up.

"This official asks you, but your relatives died in the fire of Anxingfang?" Yang Guozhong asked.

"Back to my lord, exactly. The villain's brother was first forcibly taken away by the officials, and then burned to death by fire. But the government said that the villain's brother was poisoned, and this was all done to protect the villain. But the villain's brother wasn't poisoned! Pity my brother, what a wrongful death! Whining. ”

Li Canghai glanced at the person and found that this person was the scholar who had identified him in the court before, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Yang Guozhong looked serious, and after asking the scholar, he asked the others again.

Sure enough, everyone is in unison.

"Li Canghai, what else do you have to say? In order to ask for merit from the saints, you did not hesitate to make up the theory of poison and kill innocent people, you are simply a courtier in vain! Yang Guozhong was furious, looking distressed, and seemed to be very disappointed with what Li Canghai had done.

Li Canghai looked indifferent and sneered: "Lord Yang, are they the evidence you said?" ”

"They can prove that their relatives were not poisoned, but you took it upon yourself to forcibly detain their relatives, isn't that enough to prove the facts?" Yang Guozhong snorted.

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Lord Yang, can you allow me to ask a few questions?" First of all, they just said that their relatives were forcibly arrested by the government, but this does not mean that I was behind the scenes, right? Secondly, how did Lord Yang know that they were the relatives of the people who were burned to death? As far as I know, all the bodies have been burned beyond recognition, and how do they recognize the burned people as their relatives? ”

"Jokes, if a loved one is caught, how can they not recognize it? You deny what they say by burning the corpses, which is clearly a strong argument! Yang Guozhong shouted in a deep voice.

A sneer rose at the corner of Li Canghai's mouth, he didn't look at Yang Guozhong, and looked straight at the kneeling people.

"Your name is Du Mei, right?" Li Canghai stared at the scholar at the leader and asked.

"Yes, I'm Du Mei." The scholar nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "Master Li, what kind of enmity does my brother have against you, and you want to kill him?" ”

"How many brothers do you have?" Li Canghai asked.

"I only have one brother. And my brother has been burned to death by you, my poor brother! Woo woo woo ....... Du Mei said, suddenly beating his chest and crying.

The cry was so miserable that it really made the listener sad and the listener wept.

Li Canghai nodded, and then said, "Let me ask you, was your brother forcibly arrested by the officials in front of you?" ”

Seeing this, Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, and shouted: "Li Canghai, you are a suspect now, what right do you have to interrogate others?" ”

He didn't open his mouth from beginning to end, and Li Heng, who had been looking around, glanced at Yang Guozhong, and said lightly: "Li Canghai is just a suspect, not a real murderer." What's more, he is clearing his own grievances, why not? If he can find out the truth by himself, it will save Lord Yang trouble, right? ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, is this not in accordance with the rules?" Yang Guozhong's face was a little ugly when he heard this.

"Datang Law, which stipulates that suspects are not allowed to clear their names?" Li Heng asked rhetorically.

Yang Guozhong was suddenly stunned by Li Heng's question, and he was suddenly a little speechless.

There is indeed no provision in the law of the Tang Dynasty that the suspect cannot defend himself.

This made him suddenly feel a little anxious in his heart.

"Canghai, continue your question." Li Heng took a sip of the teacup and said lightly.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie is gracious." Li Canghai bowed to Li Heng, and after that, he stared at Du Mei and said coldly: "Answer the question, did you see your brother being forcibly arrested by the officials?" ”

"Yes! I've seen it with my own eyes! Du Mei shouted.

Li Canghai suddenly laughed, looking at Li Canghai's weird smile, a bad feeling suddenly rose in Du Mei's heart.

"In that case, you must not know this person, right?" Li Canghai snapped his fingers, and among the onlookers, a middle-aged man suddenly rushed in.

The man's face was dark, and he looked very honest and simple.

Du Mei hurriedly looked back, but this look made him stunned.

"Brother......? You, when will you come back ......? ”

Before he finished speaking, Du Mei immediately reacted and hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Du Mei, Du Mei! I worked hard to bring you up and let you read and write, just looking forward to the day when you can get ahead and be a good official for the sake of the people! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it! I've only been gone for two months, and you're cursing me to die? The man was furious, and after finishing speaking, he directly kicked Du Mei in the chest and kicked Du Mei to the ground.

The man was furious, pointed at Du Mei and scolded for a while, then knelt down in front of Li Canghai, and cried: "Master Li, I have no way to discipline me, and I have taught such a brother who does not distinguish between right and wrong. My brother has always behaved, but he was black-hearted for a while, so he came to frame Master Li. Ask Master Li to give him a chance to mend his ways, and the grass people are willing to bear all the blame for him! Please be gracious! ”

"Brother...... I....... Seeing the man kneeling and begging Li Canghai for mercy, Du Mei suddenly panicked.

"What are you, why don't you admit your mistake to Master Li soon?" The man gave Du Mei a backhand slap and said angrily.

This slap immediately stunned Du Mei, he covered his cheeks and froze in place.

"Framing the court officials, do you know what this crime is? The worst sentence is three years in prison, and the worst is exile to the frontier! Do you really want to bear this sin for him? Li Canghai looked at the man with pity and asked.

"As long as the adults can spare his life, the grass people...... Willing! The man clenched his fists and nodded.

At this time, Du Mei, who was beaten and was a little dazed, suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Canghai, crying: "My lord, all this is the fault of the grass people, and it has nothing to do with my brother!" The grass people are willing to bear all the consequences, and beg the adults not to punish their brothers! ”

The sudden change made everyone confused.

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "Do you really think you can bear all the consequences?" If this matter is just a dispute between the people, it is simple. It's a pity, don't forget, it's you who went to sue the royal court! Now, while your brother is still alive, you are deliberately lying, do you know what this crime is? ”

Du Mei knelt on the ground, his body suddenly trembled violently, and there was not even a trace of blood on his face. (To be continued.) )
