"Yang Fu, my father-in-law will ask you again, are you sure that you are the one you met on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month?" In the midst of the discussion of everyone in the hall, Li Yuntian walked in front of Yang Fu, stared at him with a fierce expression and asked.

"Yes...... It's the fifth day of the eighth month, and the little people ...... Remember clearly. Since Yang Fu had previously sworn that he had seen Li Yuntian on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month, it was difficult to ride a tiger now, so he could only hold on to the end and stammer.

"You lie, my father-in-law stayed in Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month, and didn't leave until the next day, how could he go to see you at night." Hearing this, Li Yuntian's face sank, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Fu and said with a sneer.

"Chen Dudu, there are records of entering and leaving the palace, as long as Chen Dudu sends people to attack and transfer the records of entering and leaving the palace on the fifth and sixth days of the first month of August, you will know that what this duke said is true." As he spoke, Li Yuntian turned to Chen Tai in the public court, and mentioned a proposal to him in a deep voice.

"Someone, repair a letter ......" Chen Tai didn't expect things to be so coincidental, Li Yuntian was in the palace on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month, so he took out a sign in the table and prepared to send someone to the palace with the official documents of the Gyeonggi Governor's Office to check the records of entering and leaving the palace on the fifth and sixth days of the eighth month.

Everyone present couldn't help but talk about it one after another, secretly sighing that Li Yuntian's luck was good, as long as the records of entering and leaving the palace were transferred, then Yang Fu's lie that he had seen Li Yuntian on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month would be self-defeating.

Unlike others, Yang Pu did not discuss this matter, but picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yang Fu, have you thought about it, have you seen Zhenguo Gong on the fifth day of the eighth month?"

Wei Xin's face became a little ugly, no matter what, he would never have thought that such an accident would happen, he knew that Li Yuntian was not bluffing, because the official business at hand was too busy Li Yuntian did live in Wenyuan Pavilion for a few nights this year, which was not a secret in the palace, so he interrupted Chen Tai's words in a hurry, and asked Yang Fu, who was kneeling there sweating profusely, with an expressionless face.

If Li Yuntian was in the palace on the night of the fifth day of the eighth month, then he would naturally not be able to see Yang Fu, which also proved that the document provided by Yang Fu that should have the seal of the chief instructor of the martial arts hall was fake, and this was definitely not a scene that Wei Xin wanted to see.

Therefore, Wei Xin had to find a way to prevent this from happening, so he opened his mouth to remind Yang Fu.

"Little ...... Xiaomin remembered wrong, it was eight...... On the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, I can see the town of Guogong! ”

Yang Fu was already frightened by the sudden change, the records in the palace must have supreme authority, then his lies will be completely exposed at that time, and suddenly heard Wei Xin's question, he came back to his senses after being stunned for a moment, and hurriedly answered.

Hearing this, the scene couldn't help but suddenly, all the ministers present were old and respectful, how could they not see that Yang Fu was lying.

"Yang Fu, you speak inconsistently, just now it was the fifth year of junior high school, how did you become the sixth year of junior high school now?" Li Yuntian sneered, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Yang Fu, and asked angrily, as if he was angered by Yang Fu's rebellion.

"Grandpa Guo, nearly half a year has passed since the incident, and Xiaomin can't remember clearly for a while." Yang Fu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Li Yuntian's appearance of asking for guilt, and hurriedly said with a quibble, "Xiaomin remembers now, Grandpa Guo saw Xiaomin on the sixth day of the first month, and when Xiaomin was on the seventh day of the first month, he deliberately went to the temple to worship the Buddha and ask for wishes, and wanted to know whether it was evil or good after meeting with Grandpa Guo." ”

"You ......" Li Yuntian saw that Yang Fu was actually a scoundrel, and because he was so angry, he pointed at Yang Fu and couldn't say anything for a while.

"Chen Dudu, this person is a cunning and cunning person at first glance, if he is not tortured, he will not confess honestly!" Then, Li Yuntian turned to Chen Tai and said angrily.

"My lord, Xiaomin is just telling the truth, please let Xiaomin call the shots." Seeing that Li Yuntian was excited and his expression was a little out of shape, Yang Fu's heart suddenly became settled, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Chen Tai and shouted loudly.

"Governor Chen, according to Benbo, in order to determine whether he has seen Yang Fu on the sixth night of the sixth day of the first month of Zhenguo, it is better to transfer the records of those days in and out of the palace." Wei Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time, glanced at the angry Li Yuntian, and said in a deep voice to Chen Tai beside him.

As long as it can be proved that Li Yuntian is no longer in the palace on the sixth day of the first month, then Li Yuntian cannot prove that he did not see Wei Xin that night, because no matter where Li Yuntian is on the sixth night except the palace, no matter who can testify to Li Yuntian, then it will not be accepted by Wei Xin, and it is suspected that Li Yuntian is a fraud.

And if Li Yuntian is in Wenyuan Pavilion on the sixth day of the first month, then the situation will be different, not to mention that the palace is heavily guarded, and once the palace gate is closed at night, it is not allowed to open the door unless there is an emperor's holy edict, and it is not so simple to get through the imperial city.

During the Xuande period, the city of Beijing consisted of three parts: the Forbidden City, the Imperial City and the Outer City, of which the Forbidden City was also called the "Palace City".

The Forbidden City was the place where the emperor lived, so it was surrounded by tall city walls, with four gates: Wumen, Shenwumen, Donghuamen, and Xihuamen.

The Imperial City is the place where the Forbidden City is guarded and provides various services to the Forbidden City, built around the outside of the Forbidden City, and is forbidden to idle people, etc., there are royal gardens, temples, warehouses, workshops, and a large number of breeding and service institutions.

Unlike the Forbidden City and the capital, the Imperial City did not have a wall with horse roads and battlements for defense, and only a red gate wall more than 6 meters high - Xiao Wall.

Xiao wall body red top covered yellow glazed tiles, that is, we often say red wall yellow tiles, the imperial city wall on all sides of the Daming Gate, Di'an Gate, Dong'an Gate and Xi'an Gate four gates, that is, commonly known as the "Imperial City Four".

The outer city refers to the part between the city wall of the capital and the city wall of the imperial city, most of the people live in this area, and there are Zhengyang Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Desheng Gate and Anding Gate nine city gates, which are commonly known as "Inner Nine Gates".

Wenyuan Pavilion is in the Forbidden City, if Li Yuntian is in Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, then if he wants to go to the south of the city to see Yang Fu, he must pass through the gate of Guò Palace City and the gate of the Imperial City.

Unlike the outer city, which was guarded by the Beijing army, the palace city and the imperial city were guarded by pro-troops like Jinyiwei, which meant that Li Yuntian had to pass through the guards of the palace and the imperial city one after another, and Li Yuntian had no friendship with the pro-army, so it was difficult to pass the pass silently.

What is especially important is that Yang Fu is just a mere businessman, and the situation is not urgent, there is no need for Li Yuntian to risk crossing the palace and the imperial city to meet him!

However, now it seems that Li Yuntian was not in Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the sixth day of the first month, otherwise he would not have expressed such a gaffe, which made Wei Xin decide to give Li Yuntian a heavy blow, so that Li Yuntian could not get out of Yang Fu's matter.

"Hmph, there's no need for that anymore." As soon as Wei Xin's words fell, Li Yuntian said to him coldly, "Lord Wei, a person like Yang Fu who rebelled, even if the evidence was in front of him, he would flatly deny it, and now that he has changed his confession, why bother in vain!" ”

"Zhen Guogong's words are wrong, Yang Fu went to court for the first time, and he was inevitably nervous in front of many adults, but now that he has remembered the past, he must definitely not change it again."

Wei Xin shook his head when he heard this, opened his mouth to defend Yang Fu, and then looked at Yang Fu and said loudly, "Yang Fu, whether you really remember the time of meeting this time, you have to think about it in front of all the adults!" ”

"My lord, Xiaomin can be sure this time, it is the town of Guogong who met in the Qinglou in the south of the city on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to the Qinglou to check, Xiaomin is a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, they can testify that Xiao's early August days spent the night in the Qinglou."

Yang Fu had already reacted at this time, realizing that Wei Xin, who was sitting in the court, was helping him, and hurriedly said to Wei Xin, "My lord, the little one is willing to sign and draw, and he will never regret it!" ”

Hearing the words "sign and draw", Li Yuntian's eyebrows couldn't help but rise slightly, and then looked at the scene in front of him quietly, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

Yang Pu, who was slowly sipping tea, heard that the corners of his mouth showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, and after glancing at Li Yuntian, he continued to lower his head and taste tea, as if he had a premonition of something.

Yang Shiqi, Zhang Fu and others shook their heads secretly, Wei Xin knew that Li Yuntian had to check the bottom file of entering and leaving the palace in Wenyuan Pavilion on the night of the fifth day of the first month, and it was clear that Li Yuntian was trapped in the whirlpool of Yang Fu's matter and couldn't extricate himself, but they couldn't say anything, after all, they were just hearing the judges and Wei Xin's actions were legal, so no one would stand up for Li Yuntian at this time.

"Okay." Seeing that Yang Fu expressed an oath, Wei Xin immediately ordered the sergeant of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion standing in front of the hall in a deep voice, "Take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, let him sign and draw a pledge, and if you regret it, you should be held responsible!" ”

The two sergeants walked away quickly after bowing their hands to Wei Xin, Chen Tai shook his head helplessly when he saw this, although he was very dissatisfied with Wei Xin interrupting him in public just now, but he was helpless, after all, Wei Xin was on the order of Emperor Xuande, how could he care about it, but it was a pity that Li Yuntian had such a good opportunity to turn over, which was ruined by Wei Xin.

Soon, the two sergeants brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstones, and Yang Fu immediately wrote down the fact that he had seen Li Yuntian in the Qinglou on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month, and said that he was coerced and lured by Li Yuntian, so he had no choice but to hide those arquebuses, and finally signed and handed them to Wei Xin.

Wei Xin looked at it and handed it to Chen Tai, who read it out in public, then put it on the desk in front of him, and then issued an order to let the sergeant of the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion enter the palace with the official document he issued to read the records of the palace entry and exit ban on the sixth day of the eighth month.

"Zhen Guogong, do you remember where you were on the night of the sixth day of the eighth month?" After the sergeants left, Chen Tai asked Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

In fact, Chen Tai didn't want to ask this seemingly stupid question, but as a process of trial, he had to ask it, and these important ministers of the court present knew in their hearts that it didn't matter where Li Yuntian was on the night of the sixth day of the first month, the important thing was that if he wasn't in the palace, he wouldn't be able to clear the suspicion of meeting Yang Fu.

"It's been too long, and my father can't remember it anymore." Li Yuntian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and pointed at Yang Fu with an expressionless face and said, "However, this father can be sure that he has never seen this person before!" ”

"Zhen Guogong, you said at the time that you wanted to give the villain glory and wealth, why don't you admit it now." Yang Fu couldn't help but scream when he heard this, and said to Li Yuntian with a panicked expression.

"Shut up, no noise in the court!" Seeing this, Chen Tai couldn't help frowning slightly, slapped the shocked wood, and shouted at Yang Fu in a deep voice, all the people present at the scene were among the best members of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Fu and the grass people dared to question Li Yuntian, it was simply ignorant of etiquette and messed up with dignity.

Yang Fu was startled when he heard this, originally he thought that with Wei Xin under his cover, he could frame Li Yuntian wantonly, but now it seems that he is a little carried away, realizing that his appearance just now is a little out of line, and he hurriedly fell to the ground and did not dare to move.

"Zhen Guogong, in addition to Yang Fu, the guys from the Bafang Warehouse also testified that you were related to that batch of arquebuses, and said that I saw you go to the warehouse at night to check on that batch of arquebuses, do you have anything to say about this?"

If it is left in another case, Yang Fu who offended Li Yuntian will definitely be punished by Chen Tai on the spot, this is not that Chen Tai wants to protect Li Yuntian but to maintain the law of the imperial court, but this case is the imperial case handed over by Emperor Xuande, and Yang Fu is a witness against Li Yuntian, so he naturally does not want to punish Yang Fu, so he coldly glanced at his adoptive father who was kneeling there, and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"Governor Chen, my father has never been to the Bafang Warehouse." Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard this, and replied quietly.

The reason why he was relieved was that Chen Tai was talking about the "buddy" of the Bafang Warehouse, and did not say "the owner" or "the shopkeeper", which means that Liu Hai and the shopkeeper of the Bafang Warehouse did not betray him under torture.

In fact, even if Liu Hai and others betrayed Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian could understand, after all, there are very few people in the world who can put their lives out of the way, and not many people can hold on under the torture of Jinyiwei.

Obviously, Liu Hai and the shopkeeper of the Bafang Warehouse survived the torture, or the two were probably dead in the torture cell.

"Come on, guy with the Octagon Warehouse!" Chen Tai saw that Li Yuntian did not admit that he had been to the Bafang Warehouse, so he ordered the Gyeonggi Governor's Mansion sergeant in front of the hall in a deep voice.

Several guys from the Bafang Warehouse were quickly brought into the lobby, all dressed in a clean suit, their hair was neatly combed, and they looked like they had dressed up before going to the hall, and knelt timidly in front of the hall.

According to the confessions of these guys from the Octagon Warehouse, on the night of October 29, when they were sleeping in the bedroom, they heard movement in the yard, and after being awakened, they quietly opened the window of the bedroom driven by curiosity, and saw Liu Hai and Li Yuntian and others go to the warehouse where the arquebus was stored.

"Sue Sù Bengong, can you be sure it's October 29?" Li Yuntian knew that these guys had been coerced and lured, and he was afraid that some of them were already scarred, so he secretly couldn't help but shake his head, and asked in a deep voice after a deep groan.

Hearing this, everyone at the scene was dazzled, and Li Yuntian once again refuted with time as the starting point, did he have evidence that it was impossible for him to go to the Bafang Warehouse on October 29?
