"Lord Luo, this is their private matter, and it has nothing to do with this case. Reading the book artifact" Cui Hui suddenly felt that the situation was not good, he didn't know the details of Shi An's three people, but now that he understood it, the three of them didn't seem to be very clean, so he said to Luo Qing, wanting to stop Chen Ningning from asking again, so as not to lead to uncontrollable trouble.

"My lord, this matter involves the bribes they claim to have bribed the lower officials, and the stakes are high." When Li Yuntian heard this, he bowed his hand to Luo Qingyi, and retorted loudly quietly, his heart was full of surprise, he didn't expect Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou to find out such a thing.

"Listen to the three of you, you must answer Li Chen truthfully." Luo Qing discussed with Qin Yue and Chen Tianxun beside him, and said to Shi An and the others with expressionless faces.

"Lord Qiqi, where is the birthmark on the small arm?" Liu Ming was the first to react, kowtowed to Luo Qing, and said loudly, "My lord, now is the trial of Li Zhixian's bribery case, Li Chen is confusing the public, and wants to muddy the case, please make a clear decision!" ”

"Li Chen, do you know that blatant framing in court is a big crime." Luo Qing felt that Liu Ming's words were reasonable, turned his head to look at Chen Ningning, and said with a stern expression.

"My lord, the woman is not framed, but there is conclusive evidence." Chen Ningning said to Luo Qingjiao, "The women have found witnesses, please summon them to the court." ”

"Accurate!" Luo Qing felt that things were getting more and more interesting, and he also wanted to see what Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou had found, so he nodded.

Under the gaze of everyone, several men were immediately led to the public hall by the officials of the government and knelt in front of the court.

When they saw the faces of those witnesses, Shi An and Gu Manfu's faces turned pale with a brush, while Liu Ming looked at each other suspiciously, not knowing the origin of these people.

"Oops!" Cui Hui witnessed the change in Shi An and Gu Manfu's faces, and secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, and his fists couldn't help but clench together, it seemed that the person Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou found this time would have a serious impact on the case.

"Tell all the adults at the scene, do you know these three people?" Chen Ningning walked up to a tall witness in his thirties, pointed to Shi An and asked.

"Adults, the villains don't know them." The tall and thin witness looked at Shi An and the three of them and replied affirmatively.

"Who is Liu Ming, a tea merchant in Liujia Village, Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture?" Chen Ningning heard this, the corners of her eyebrows curled up slightly, and she raised her voice.

"It's the villain's brother, who left home two years ago to do tea business in Nanzhili." The thin and tall witness immediately identified himself, which made the scene suddenly in an uproar, and Liu Ming was stunned, his face became extremely ugly.

"My lord, this is a household registration certificate issued by the government of Jiaxing Prefecture, which can prove that this person is the younger brother of Liu Ming, a tea merchant in Liujia Village, Pinghu County, Jiaxing Prefecture." Chen Ningning took out an official document from her sleeve and handed it to the errand officer on the side.

"Liu Ming, what do you say?" Luo Qing, Qin Yue, and Chen Tianxun checked it, the official document was sent using the standard paper of the government, and there was a big seal of the household room of Jiaxing Mansion on it.

"Villain...... The villain ......" Liu Ming knelt there with a bloodless face, stammering and speechless, his household registration was Liujia Village.

"Shi An, Gu Manfu, do you two have something to tell the official?" Luo Qing ignored Liu Ming, turned to Shi An and Gu Manfu, who looked frightened, and asked coldly.

"Little ...... The villain is guilty. Shi An's forehead was covered with sweat, and after his face was cloudy for a while, he touched his head to the ground, and said in a frightened tone, "Villain...... The villain is forced to be helpless, please forgive the adult! ”

"The villain is also coerced by others, and I hope that the adult will forgive his sins." Gu Manfu followed and bowed, kneeling there trembling.

Liu Ming wanted to quibble, but when he saw Shi An and Gu Manfu confessing their guilt, he knew that the general trend was gone, and he suddenly sat down on the ground, and what he had committed was far worse than Shi An and Gu Manfu.

After witnessing the scene in front of them, everyone in the lobby couldn't help but look at each other, confused, no one could have imagined that the attitude of Shi An and the three of them would change abruptly with the arrival of those witnesses.

The people in the courtyard were in an uproar, talking from ear to ear, not understanding what was happening.

"My lord, what they committed can be dealt with separately, no matter what the origin of those silver bills is, whether Li Zhixian accepts them or not is the key to this case." Cui Hui saw that Shi An and the three of them were so unbearable, and they surrendered without resistance, and secretly cursed in his heart that there was not enough success and more than failure, and after a deep groan, he said to Luo Qing with a stern expression.

"Shi An, this official asks you, did you bribe Li Zhixian with five thousand taels of silver tickets?" Hearing this, Luo Qing glanced at Qin Yue and Chen Tianxun beside him, and saw that the two of them bowed slightly, so he looked at Shi An who was kneeling there with a stern expression.

"This patrol reminds you that now that the stolen money has been seized, if you dare to lie, then you will be severely punished." As soon as Luo Qing's words fell, Cui Hui coldly warned Shi An that now he was going to make a fuss with the five thousand taels of silver tickets to defeat Li Yuntian.

"Villain...... The villain ......" Shi An raised his head and looked at Luo Qing and Cui Hui with a bloodless face, his mind was blank now, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, the people in the courtyard quieted down, staring at Shi An in unison, waiting for his answer.

Zhou Yuting and Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou couldn't help but get nervous, if Cui Hui grabbed the five thousand taels of silver tickets and fought hard, it would bring huge trouble to Li Yuntian.

"Lord Qiqi, the five thousand taels of silver tickets were indeed given to Li Zhixian by the villain, someone gave the villain a sum of money to let the villain come to Baishui Town to do business, looking for an opportunity to bribe Li Zhixian, and the villain gave the five thousand taels of silver tickets to the second lady." Shi An's face was cloudy for a while, and he gritted his teeth and decided to hold on to the end, otherwise he would be falsely accused, and the crime would be severe.

Hearing this, the scene was in an uproar again.

"My lord, since someone instructed him to frame Li Zhixian, then this person's confession is not credible." Yang Demin felt that things were becoming more and more ridiculous, and said to Luo Qingyi.

"Governor Yang's words are wrong, although Shi An is guilty, but it is a fact that Li Zhixian accepted bribes, and the five thousand taels of silver tickets are ironclad evidence!" Cui Hui sneered and refuted loudly.

"My lord, whether the lower official accepted bribes, maybe the shopkeeper of the Jiujiang branch of Longchang Qianzhuang can explain it clearly." Yang Demin frowned, and was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Yuntian took the first step, looked at the courtyard gate and said.

The errand officer who had previously gone to summon the shopkeeper of the Jiujiang branch of Longchang Qianzhuang led a middle-aged man with a goatee on his chin to walk in, and that middle-aged man was the shopkeeper of the Jiujiang branch.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, can you tell the official if there are any of these silver tickets that have only been circulated in the market this year?" After the shopkeeper Zhao knelt down in front of the hall, Li Yuntian asked him to give him the five silver tickets, and asked quietly.

"This one started circulating in June this year." Shopkeeper Zhao quickly selected one of the five silver votes and held it up for Li Yuntian to see.

"Are you sure it's June?" Li Yuntian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in a deep voice.

"At the end of May, the total number shipped a batch of large-denomination silver tickets, including this one, the small one remembers the ticket number on the batch of silver tickets, our semicolon is the beginning of June to put this batch of silver tickets on the market, adults do not believe it can be checked, there is a record in our semicolon account." Shopkeeper Zhao nodded and replied methodically.

"Shi An, since this silver ticket was only put on the market in early June, why did you get it in April?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and asked Shi An coldly.

"Little ...... The villain is a silver ticket to the Jiujiang branch in June. Shi An never expected that there was such a doorway in the silver ticket, and said in a panic.

A hint of a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he turned to look at Luo Qing.

"Boldly Diao Min, since you obtained the silver ticket in June, how did you bribe Li Zhixian in April?" Luo Qing felt that it was a farce when things came to this point, so he threw out a warrant and said with a sneer, "It seems that this official will not punish you, you will not be honest, come here, give this official a board, and beat him until he recruits." ”

"Adult, small move, small move!" The officials rushed up and pressed Luo Qing to the ground, and before they could be executed, Luo Qing screamed like a pig, shouting with a bloodless face.

It turned out that Shi An lost a lot of money in business last year, and just when he was anxious about his debts, a middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows with a Jinling accent found him and offered to help him pay off his debts, but he had to do something for him.

After learning that it was not for him to make money and kill people and set fires, the desperate Shi An agreed, and after paying back the bill, he went to Baishui Town according to the instructions of the middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows, and at the end of June, he went to the Jiujiang branch to take five thousand taels of silver tickets, and gave it to the middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows after remembering the number above.

It wasn't until August that the round-faced and thick-eyebrow middle-aged man asked Shi An to write a letter to the inspector to accuse Li Yuntian of asking for bribes, and he knew that he was going to frame Li Yuntian, and he had no choice but to follow the arrangement of the middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows.

Besides, a middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows is not a good person at first glance, and if he doesn't do what the other party says, I'm afraid the whole family will be in danger.

As for how the five thousand taels of silver tickets ran into Li Yuntian's study, then he didn't know.

Luo Qing then interrogated the errand who "searched" the silver ticket in Li Yuntian's study, and after learning that a silver ticket was only circulated in the market in June, the officer was paralyzed on the ground, and he accepted the benefit of a stranger, so he framed Li Yuntian during the search.

The matter has come to this point, the ins and outs of the five thousand taels of silver tickets have been clearly investigated, and Li Yuntian has finally been returned to his innocence.

Liu Ming and Gu Manfu are also related to the middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows, Liu Ming was originally a liar, formerly known as Lu Hai, two years ago he met Liu Ming by chance, and saw that he had property on him, so he went with him, killed him on the way, and went to Yangzhou in place of Liu Ming's identity, and continued to cheat on the grounds of doing tea business.

Later, a few years ago, Lu Hai's scam was discovered, and he was accused by the other party, asking him to compensate for the loss, and the critical moment was a middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows who helped him get out of the siege and asked him to go to Baishui Town to frame Li Yuntian.

Gu Manfu's only son mistakenly made a group of fox friends last year, and at their instigation, he lost all his family property in **, and when the ** people forced debts, a middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows intervened to help him pay off his gambling debts, so he also came to Baishui Town.

Among the witnesses found by Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, there were businessmen who saw through the land and sea scam and the owner of the ** family where Gu Manfu's only son went, and the two were of course shocked when they saw it, and they didn't expect Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou to find these people, so their sources of funds would not be able to be explained.

Originally, Lu Hai and Gu Manfu were worried because Li Yuntian's case had alarmed Emperor Yongle, but now several important witnesses suddenly popped up, which made the psychological defense line of the two thieves who were weak in an instant be destroyed.

Luo Qing immediately ordered the middle-aged man with a round face and thick eyebrows to be wanted, and announced on the spot that Li Yuntian was innocent and freed, which made Li Yuntian excitedly hug Zhou Yuting, Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, and cried bitterly, Zhou Yuting couldn't help but shed tears, and the people at the scene couldn't help but feel sad.
