When Shi Li heard that Cha Yongpan was biting him, he couldn't help but jump:

"This matter is clearly done by you and Gao Bin in private collusion, Gao Bin has all confessed, you dare to frame the court officials here, King Langya, you can make the decision for the ministers!"

"Lord Shi, don't be bored! Cha Yong, you go on. Sima Jingwen raised his voice.

"Yes, King Langya." Zha Yong gave a salute to King Langya and continued:

In order to let the theory of Yin soldiers borrowing food spread among the people, Lord Shi specially arranged for some brothers to pretend to be civilians and merchants, and exaggerated what they saw with their own eyes in nearby wine shops and inns. At that time, there were also merchants and nearby boatmen who saw them, but these people were timid by nature, and they naturally couldn't see the truth because of the fog, so it was rumored that they were in the dark. ”

"Then why does a grain ship come to Hangou?"

"Lord Shi said that as soon as this matter comes out, the imperial court will send someone to investigate, so a grain ship will be transferred to disrupt the direction of the imperial court's investigation."

"And what about the food on this ship?" Sima Jingwen continued to ask.

"I have entered the Chaji rice shop, and the money sold has also been distributed to Lord Shi and Gao Bin."

When Shi Li heard this, he immediately stood up and defended: "King Langya, at the beginning, Cha Yong found Gao Bin because he didn't have enough money, and Gao Bin didn't have enough money so he found the minister, and the minister lent them because of the loss of face. The money is the principal they pay back to their courtiers and the interest they pay.

Chen's brother is rich in the world, and it is indeed not a pity to check the money in the rice shop to the minister, and the minister never forgets to be the foundation of the official, and what Zha Yong said is the private collusion between him and Gao Bin, and the minister really doesn't know it. ”

Seeing that Shi Li had put all the blame on himself, Zha Yong held back his anger, calmed down, and asked loudly: "Lord Assassin Shi, is this really the case?" ”

Then he slowed down his voice and said: "King Langya, check that two percent of the profits of the rice shop will be distributed to Lord Thorn Shishi, one component will be given to Gao Bin, and seventy percent will be returned to the rice shop, and the daily expenses will be borne by the rice shop itself." This plan is also made by Cha Ji Mipu, and the villain is willing to provide all the account books of the accounts that have been shared with Lord Shi and Gao Bin since the cooperation. ”

Shi Li didn't expect that Zha Yong would risk his life and be willing to provide account books, and his face immediately turned red, but he was speechless for a while, but he was really used to seeing big scenes, so he stepped forward after a little adjustment:

"King Langya, the minister did receive some example money, and Gao Bin said that it was Huaicao Wharf to honor the official, and the minister was ashamed."

Sima Jingwen looked at Shi Li and was silent, at this time, Wang Dao saw that Shi Li was so cunning, and said with a smile: "Lord Shi, the imperial court decree also hopes that King Langya will find out the facts of the case, as for how to decide, I must believe that King Langya will report to the court, and His Majesty and Niangniang will decide, Lord Shi should be calm and restless." ”

Sima Jingwen looked at Yi Xue behind Wuji again, but Yi Xue at this time was not as angry as Fang Cai, her brows were only slightly frowned, but from her eyes, there seemed to be something else in mind.

And Murong Jia on the side had a smiling expression, looking at everything in front of him, as if he had other plans in his heart.

Sima Jingwen turned his mind and no longer paid attention to Shi Li: "Zha Yong, go on." ”

"After the boat goes ashore at the end, it is necessary to find a suitable place to hide, the villain's ancestor is a descendant of the king of Shanyang, and the villain thinks that only the tomb of the king of Shanyang is the least known, so he hides the grain in the underground palace.

Later, the villain learned that someone went to Luofeng Villa to ask for the key to open the pipe nail of the tomb of King Shanyang, and he knew that this matter could not be concealed, and the owner of Luofeng Villa was a close friend of the villain, and specially came to persuade the villain to abandon the secret and turn to the light, and then Lord Gu Rong found the villain again and explained the stakes, so there was a villain behind to cooperate with Lord Gu to lure Gao Bin to the tomb of King Shanyang. ”

When Sima Jingwen heard this, he nodded seriously and expressed his affirmation.

"King Langya, although the villain is not a hero, but he is not a robber and a reckless thief in the green forest, the original intention of the villain's cooperation with Lord Shi and Gao Bin was originally for the brothers of the Twelve Halls of Caoyun. Now that the price of grain is soaring, the people are helpless to requisition grain, and at the same time, it has also affected the disaster relief in Beijun, which violates the morality of the rivers and lakes and the original intention of the villain. Therefore, the villain decided to tell the truth in order to restore the peace of the people of Jiangdong. ”

Speaking of this, Cha Yong knelt down, fell to the ground, kowtowed, and said:

"The villain knows that his sins are unforgivable, and he is willing to bow to the law, and only ask King Langya to protect my brothers in the twelve churches."

After hearing this, Sima Jingwen still just nodded, and said in a clear voice:

"This king was ordered to investigate the case, just to find out the facts, and now there are human and physical evidence, and Gao Bin and Zha Yong have also explained their experience. Now the facts of the case have become clear, but whether the assassin Shi Li is involved in this case, there are different opinions, and this king will submit the case file and evidence to the imperial court, and this king believes that he has his own judgment. ”

After speaking, he paused, glanced at Zha Yong, and continued:

Although Zha Yong participated in this case, he trapped Gao Bin because of his meritorious service, and at the same time made up for the 3,000 stone of smuggling Hangou, and donated another 2,000 stone of grain for disaster relief, and took the initiative to undertake all the transportation and labor in the process of the imperial court's transfer and grain collection.

In the investigation of the case, I also learned that Cha Yong and his Cao Yun Wharf also sought a lot of benefits for the livelihood of the people on both sides of the Huaishui River. Therefore, Cha Yong was exempted from detention. ”

Hearing this, Cha Yong fell deep on the ground, slammed his head on the ground, and thanked loudly:

"The sinner Zha Yong thanked King Langya, King Langya was merciful, and the sinner felt deeply guilty. Zha Yong is willing to donate another million money to help the imperial court for disaster relief, so as to show the grace of His Majesty and Niangniang! ”

Seeing that Zha Yong was so eye-catching, Sima Jingwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Today's court trial, do you have anything else to add?" ”

Shi Li just wanted to defend again, but saw Wang Dao staring at him and making a look that didn't need to be said, although he didn't know what he meant, it was inconvenient to speak.

I only heard Wang Dao say: "This Fu Festival Imperial History was ordered by the imperial court to Jianye to assist King Langya to supervise, today the court trial is detained, if there is no supplement to submit the sealed volume to the court, according to the court law, from the four grades below the official and those without official positions by the Langya King to conclude the case, from the four grades above the officials, need to be decided after the court discussion. ”

Sima Jingwen nodded and said: "What Lord Wang said is that this king will supervise and adjudicate the case ex officio, and he will never violate the laws of the imperial court. The Huaiyin grain loss case is basically clear, Li Zhao has been sentenced to justice in the grain requisition case, and Li Zhao's co-defendant also has a real confession. ”

When Shi Li heard this, he had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "The lower official is indeed guilty of negligence, and this official believes that His Majesty and Niangniang will be judged." ”

At this time, Gu Rong also stood up and arched his hand: "King Langya, there will be three more days of Ya Sui (winter solstice), the official release of Guan Pu, according to the court etiquette system, hundreds of officials will never do anything, choose auspicious Chen and save trouble." ”

"It's three days away, and the case will be concluded tomorrow, everyone has been busy for a while, so we should relax. Since the official warehouse has been requisitioned 40,000 stones, after the Ya Nian has passed, the grain will be arranged to be shipped to Chang'an, and the king will set off to return to Beijing to resume his life. ”

After that, he announced his retirement.

Sima Jingwen got up and walked outside the hall, Gu Rong, Wang Qing and others followed one after another, but Director Wang gave Shi Li a look, Shi Li seemed to understand what Director Wang meant, and gave him a knowing look.
