"That's right, it's October 29th, less than two months have passed, and we were all curious at the time, so we remember it very clearly." Several guys glanced at each other without knowing it, and then a round-faced guy kneeling in front of him hurriedly said.

"In that case, you should remember what happened that night, so tell me about what hour you heard the noise in the courtyard, how many people you saw through the windows, torches or lanterns?"

Just when the civil and military officials at the scene were waiting for Li Yuntian to counterattack from the time, Li Yuntian turned his voice and looked at the guys from the Bafang Warehouse quietly and asked.

"Grandpa Yuguo, it was the beginning of the ugly hour, and there were about seven or eight people, carrying two lanterns." The round-faced guy had already prepared, and after a little frightened heart, he replied.

"Did you hear those people talking, or did you go and check them out?" Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, looked at the round-faced guy and asked.

"Grandpa Yuguo, they didn't speak, and the little ones didn't dare to act rashly for fear of being discovered, so they all stayed in the house." The round-faced guy shook his head when he heard this, and said with a nervous expression.

"Tell my father, when did that shipment arrive at the warehouse?" Li Yuntian glanced at the round-faced guy and asked lightly.

"October 25." When the round-faced guy heard this, he immediately said the date, perhaps because he was nervous, and added, "If Grandpa Guo doesn't believe it, you can go and check the account books of their incoming and outgoing goods." ”

"Sue Sù Bengong, why do you think that the goods arrived in the warehouse on October 25, maybe they arrived before, or maybe they were transported in later!"

Li Yuntian's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he stared coldly at the round-faced guy, "As far as my father knows, the warehouse of the Bafang Warehouse often enters and exits goods, is it possible that the goods are sandwiched in the scattered goods and gradually transported into the warehouse, or the boxes where the goods are stored are different, so you are impressed?"

The round-faced guy didn't expect Li Yuntian to ask such a question, and he was stunned for a moment, with a frightened look on his face, and the sweat on his forehead ran down his cheeks.

As Li Yuntian said, including Yang Fu's warehouse, the warehouse of Bafang Warehouse comes in and out of goods every day, after all, the merchants who can afford to rent the warehouse have a very good business in the Gyeonggi area, and often need goods to move.

There are two kinds of wooden boxes used in Yang Fu's goods, one is a square wooden box, and the other is a long wooden box, which is used to hold goods of different specifications, because these two kinds of wooden boxes are often used, so they will not attract the attention of the outside world.

Seeing this, everyone present shook their heads helplessly, it was obvious that the round-faced guy was not Li Yuntian's opponent, and Li Yuntian grabbed the handle and was speechless in a few words, everyone couldn't help but look forward to the end of this farce, do you want to watch Li Yuntian expose the so-called "testimony" of those witnesses one by one? This is simply a shame for the Ming Dynasty!

Li Yuntian looked at the round-faced guy who was stunned and at a loss, in fact, the person who secretly taught the round-faced guy and others to make false confessions was too anxious, and wanted to convict himself with the round-faced guy and others, so he let the round-faced guy bite to death the time he entered the arquebus, and then ignored some of the most basic common sense in the business field.

It's a pity that Li Yuntian, who attaches great importance to business, knows these basic common senses clearly, so he found a flaw in the words of the round-faced guy.

"Zhen Guogong, the reason why they knew that the goods were the Bafang Warehouse that arrived on October 25 was because they were surprised when they found that someone had visited Yang Fu's treasury at night, and two days later they went to the servant sent by Yang Fu to guard the warehouse to drink, and drunk him while drinking to find out the news, and learned from the mouth of the servant that the time of purchase, and also knew that there were forbidden items such as arquebuses inside, and they didn't dare to reveal these things to the outside world because they were implicated."

Just when the round-faced guy was in a predicament and couldn't answer Li Yuntian's question, Wei Xin, who was sitting behind the desk in the lobby, frowned, opened his mouth to explain to Li Yuntian, and then turned to the round-faced guy and said in a deep voice, "This official has long known that you didn't report it, and originally wanted to give you a chance to reform yourself, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn, and you are still resisting at this time, aren't you afraid of being beheaded all over the house?" ”

"Say, who did you send to inquire about Yang Fu's servants at that time?" As he spoke, Wei Xin's face sank, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"My lord, at that time, it was the villain and Yang Fu's servant Yang Laosan who drank wine, and the villain and others did not dare to leak it to outsiders because they were afraid, please forgive me."

The round-faced guy was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted suddenly, realizing that Wei Xin, who seemed to be stern, was looking for him to go under the steps, and hurriedly followed Wei Xin's words, and then pleaded guilty with his head on the ground with a frightened expression.

Seeing this situation, Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others all showed dissatisfied expressions in their eyes, and Wei Xin actually openly relieved the round-faced guy in the court, acting too explicitly.

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Wei Xin was favoring the round-faced guy, because Wei Xin was using a tactful way, everyone couldn't catch any tricks from him.

Li Yuntian sneered and looked at the scene in front of him, the round-faced guy had already revealed a fatal flaw, but outsiders didn't find it, he wanted to see how Wei Xin could help him later.

"Governor Chen, Yang Fu's servant Yang Lao Liu is responsible for guarding the goods in the warehouse at the Bafang Warehouse, and he knows a lot of inside information, as long as he asks him, he will know the truth." Wei Xin knew that the people at the scene must have complained about his previous behavior, but the Holy Order had to do that, and after glancing at the round-faced guy, he said to Chen Tai.

Chen Tai nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, and asked people to pass on Yang Lao Liu, to be honest, he felt quite embarrassed now, although he was the chief judge of the case, but it was Wei Xin who was the judge who was in the leading position in the interrogation.

"Xiaomin Yang Lao Liu knocks on all the adults!" Yang Lao Liu is a middle-aged man with a strong figure, not only is he as clean as the round-faced guy and others, but he also looks very good, as if he has not suffered much in the prison of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion, kneeling in front of and behind the hall and saluting Chen Tai and the others loudly.

"Yang Lao Liu, this official asked you, has this person invited you to drink recently?" Chen Tai looked at Yang Lao Liu with a stern expression, and asked coldly.

"My lord, one night in early November, he invited the villain to drink, and the villain drank so much that he slept until the next day, and was scolded by the owner for this." Yang Lao Liu pretended to think about it, and then said to Chen Tai, "If you don't believe it, you can ask our host." ”

Wei Xin couldn't help but flash a smile at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, before going to the hall, his cronies Jin Yiwei had already told Yang Lao Liu about the situation in the lobby, so Yang Lao Liu knew how to deal with Chen Tai's interrogation.

Yang Fu had been taken to the public room next to the lobby at this time to be detained, Chen Tai had to ask him to be asked, Yang Fu naturally knew what happened in the court, so he did not hesitate to admit that Yang Lao had mistaken things in early June 61 because of greed, and then was taken down.

"Yang Lao Liu, this official asked you, what did you see on the night of October 29?" Chen Tai didn't want to dwell on the matter of drinking, and after Yang Fu was taken away, he glanced at Li Yuntian, and saw that Li Yuntian didn't say anything, so he asked Yang Lao Liu with a cold expression.

"Lord Yu, at that time, the owner of the villain brought Zhenguo Gong and Boss Liu from the Bafang Warehouse to the warehouse to see the newly arrived arquebuses." Yang Laoliu kowtowed to Chen Tai when he heard this. Justice said awe-inspiringly, "My lord, although the villain is an errand runner, he also knows that he is loyal to the monarch and serves the country, although the prince of Zhenguo has given the villain a lot of benefits, but the villain still reported the matter secretly after learning from the pain, and begged the adult to spare the villain's life for the sake of the villain's meritorious report." ”

"It turned out to be him!" Everyone present couldn't help but glance at Yang Lao Liu when they heard this, they had already heard that the Bafang Warehouse was investigated because someone had reported to the government, and Emperor Xuande sent someone from the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion to investigate, but they didn't expect that the person who was the informant would be the Yang Lao Liu in front of him.

Li Yuntian looked at Yang Lao Liu coldly, it was obvious that this person was just a chess piece at the mercy of others, since Yang Lao Liu was responsible for guarding the treasury and was the closest person to the arquebus, so it was logical to tell the informant.

"Zhen Guogong, do you have anything to ask this person?" Chen Tai saw that Yang Lao Liu pointed out that Li Yuntian went to the warehouse that night, so he looked at Li Yuntian quietly.

Everyone present also turned their attention to Li Yuntian, waiting with great interest for how Li Yuntian would get out of trouble.

"Chen Dudu, this is just Yang Laoliu's one-sided words, not to be believed!" Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and said to Chen Tai with a stern expression, "This person is Yang Fu's confidant, since Yang Fu framed this father-in-law and said that this father-in-law met with him in private, how can this person's testimony be trusted?" ”

"The adults are aware that the villain is telling the truth, if there is half a lie, the sky thunders, and it will not be good to die!" When Yang Laoliu heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed to Chen Tai and argued loudly.

"If your oath comes true, my father will definitely stay away from you, so as not to be implicated." Seeing Yang Lao Liu's gambling curse and swearing, Li Yuntian couldn't help but sneer, looked at him coldly and said.

Hearing this, a low laugh erupted from the scene, and it was obvious that Li Yuntian was sarcastic about Yang Lao Liu being struck by lightning.

"Zhen Guogong, can you prove that you didn't show up at the Bafang Warehouse on the night of October 29?" Chen Tai was also amused by Li Yuntian's previous words, forced back the smile in his heart, and asked with a straight face.

In Chen Tai's view, the testimonies of Yang Fu, Yang Lao Liu, and the guys at the Bafang Warehouse had formed a complete chain of evidence, and it was not easy for Li Yuntian to get out of it, so only by coming up with evidence to prove that it was impossible to appear at the Bafang Warehouse on the night of October 29, then could the situation be reversed.

"Chen Dudu, my father's daily itinerary is recorded, Chen Dudu can send someone to the lecture hall to transfer it to the archive, although this prince can't remember where he went on the night of October 29, but it is certain that he is definitely not in the Bafang warehouse."

Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and looked up at Chen Tai, "As long as the archive records are transferred, then the movements of this father-in-law that night will be clear!" ”

"Someone, take the official document and go to the Wutang to record the record of the schedule of the Zhenguo Gong." Chen Tai bowed his head slightly when he heard this, drew a command and threw it to a military attache of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office standing in front of the hall, which may be Li Yuntian's only chance to fight back.

"My lord, Zhen Guogong will definitely cover up the incident of coming to the Bafang Warehouse that night, and the records of the martial arts hall will definitely be faked, please be aware of it." Seeing this situation, Yang Laoliu, who was kneeling there, couldn't help but speak loudly, questioning Li Yuntian's call for the schedule record.

"Bold!" Chen Tai's face turned cold when he heard this, he stretched out his hand and patted a startled wood, and coldly warned Yang Lao Liu, "Yang Lao Liu, if you talk nonsense again, this official will definitely punish you for the crime of slandering the imperial court officials!" ”

"The little people don't dare, and the adults forgive their sins." Yang Laoliu's face changed, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, he was too nervous just now, and as a result, he lost his words for a while, whether Li Yuntian forged the record and checked it freely, Chen Tai and others checked it, no matter what, it was not his turn to make a big deal about it here.

"Come, take them down, and wait for them to fall." After the military attache of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office, who had accepted Chen Tai's order, left with the order in his hand, Chen Tai waved at Yang Lao Liu and the round-faced guy who were kneeling in front of the hall, preparing to bring a new wave of witnesses to the court to confront Li Yuntian.

"Wait!" As soon as Chen Tai's words fell, Li Yuntian opened his mouth to stop him.

"What's the matter with Zhen Guogong?" Chen Tai couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, turned his head to look at Li Yuntian, and everyone present also looked over curiously.

"Governor Chen, this duke has something unclear, and I want to ask the guys from the Bafang Warehouse!" Under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian said quietly.

"Zhenguo Gong, please!" Chen Tai was stunned for a moment, and then realized something, Li Yuntian seemed to be about to launch a counterattack, so he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please.

Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others also guessed this, and looked at Li Yuntian with interest, wondering what Li Yuntian would do next and whether he could surprise them.

After seeing the scene in front of him, Wei Xin's brows couldn't help frowning, and there was an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, according to his previous experience, Li Yuntian would definitely not be untargeted, he must have found something, but he couldn't imagine where those guys in the Bafang Warehouse showed their flaws.

"Tell me how far is your dwelling from the road leading from the gate to the storehouse?" Li Yuntian walked up to the round-faced guy, stared at him and asked coldly.

"There are more than a hundred steps." The round-faced guy didn't know what to do, and replied honestly.

"Be specific!" Li Yuntian asked in a deep voice when he heard this.

"About one hundred and fifteen steps." The round-faced guy thought about it carefully and gave Li Yuntian an answer.

Hearing this, the corners of Wei Xin's mouth showed a sneer, he already understood Li Yuntian's intentions, he was questioning whether the round-faced guy could see the appearance of the person who entered the treasury that night, but he could still clearly see the other party's appearance and appearance within one hundred and fifteen steps.

In ancient times, the distance of one step was about seventy centimeters, and one hundred and fifteen steps was equivalent to eighty meters, which seemed a bit far, but in fact it was still within the effective range of the eye.

"I see!" Unlike Wei Xin, Yang Shiqi's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and then nodded thoughtfully, looking at Li Yuntian's eyes full of approval, he had already realized Li Yuntian's true intentions at this time.
