Mama Li was immediately brought up.

Seeing Mama Li, Zhang Changshen was really satisfied with Wei's family.

If the Wei family didn't bring this mother-in-law out today, they would have to go to great lengths to bring people out of the Wei Mansion. Now that Wei has automatically sent people to them, if it weren't for the lack of precedent, Zhang Changshen really wanted to award Wei a pennant of "the best good prisoner".

The reason why Wei took Mama Li was also because he was used to Mama Li's existence. In the past, she didn't need to say much about anything she did, Mama Li would do it well. Wei went to the Suiping Marquis Mansion to inquire about the news and lure Xu Xi, so it was naturally easy for Mama Li, who was old and knew some inside information.

didn't expect to save Zhang Changshen's trouble.

He was shocked: "Li, last night the servant caught a thief on the street, he signed up as Li Mu, the second lady of the Suiping Marquis Mansion, Wei's companion, do you know?" ”

Mama Li's body shook, and a hanging heart fell to the ground in an instant.

Her son's family was missing, and Wei was arrested again, and she was terrified, not knowing what the person who had arrested her son was going to do.

Now that the boot on her head was on the ground, she knew what to do.

"Yes, that's my son."

"According to Li Mu's confession, two years ago, he killed the grandson of the Wenshang Shujia and framed the son of Lord Liu, the right attendant of the ministry, do you know about this?"

Mama Li was startled and hesitated to speak.

She knew that since her son was arrested, these things would have to be shaken out sooner or later.

It's just that once she admits this in court, won't her son's life be over?

Zhang Changshen was shocked: "According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, the principal offender and the accomplice are sentenced according to the severity of the crime. If your son is only commanded, then he will be exempt from the death penalty. But if he is the main culprit, he will be executed. In addition, Li Mu has confessed to this matter, saying that you instructed this matter, can you admit this? ”

Mama Li was excited, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I am wronged." I have no grievances with Wen Shangshu and Lord Liu, why should I instruct my son to take a human life? This is all done by my master, Wei. And the reason why Wei ordered us to do this was because of the instructions of his father, Lord Wei. ”

Zhang Changshen immediately perked up, and the point came: "Can you get human and physical evidence?" There is no evidence, if you want to blame the crime on Lord Wei and the Wei family, you need to have evidence. ”

"Yes, yes." Mama Li said, "At that time, a steward named Wei Kang of the Wei Mansion ordered my son to do it. Wen Shangshu's grandson was also lured to the suburbs by him......"

Mama Li knew whether she and her son's family could save their lives, it all depended on whether she cooperated, and immediately recounted the situation at that time like pouring beans on a bamboo tube.

She also adduced evidence: "My son also knows that this matter is very important, for fear that if he does this, Lord Wei and the second lady will kill him, so he specially wrote down these things and copied a few copies, one of which was handed over to me, and the other two were handed over to my in-laws and my daughter." I deliberately revealed this news to the second lady. The second lady was afraid of us, and there was no better subordinate in her hands than mine, so she did not extinguish us. ”

Zhang Changshen only felt that today's case could not be tried smoothly. If all the prisoners were so cooperative, and they could take the initiative to provide human and physical evidence, then his head would not be bald.

He immediately ordered: "Go, bring the two families provided by Wei Kang and the Li family together." ”

After the errand left, he asked Mama Li to be detained, and asked a few questions about Chunqing and Chunfen.

Although these two maids are also the children of Wei's roommate, because they are young, Wei is worried that they are not strict and can't afford to do things, so they didn't ask them to do anything private, but they didn't even tell them.

She wants to do all this, and she tells Mama Li's family to do it.

Therefore, the two maids just went through the motions, and Zhang Changshen asked someone to escort them down. Also imprisoned was Wei's coachman.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, these people cannot let them go even if they are not guilty.

told his subordinates to guard the prisoners and not allow anyone to visit, take them away, or interrogate them, and then he went out with his confession.

As soon as he left Dali Temple, he instructed his entourage: "Hurry up and inform Taifu Cen and Master Wu, the secretary of the ministry, that I have a case to present to the emperor." ”

The retinue received the order, and ran away on a fast horse.

Zhang Changshen got into the carriage slowly, walked around the street first, and then went to the palace.

"Master Zhang, wait a minute, Taifu Cen and Wu Shangshu are discussing with the emperor. We're going to give you a gift. The eunuch said a word to Zhang Changshen with a smile, and then walked into the main hall with a flick of dust.

Zhang Changshen waited outside with a leisurely expression.

As a Dali Siqing, he is usually very busy handling cases. Unless there is a big and important case, involving the court or hundreds of officials, he will come to the palace to report to the emperor. Not a few times a year.

Because of the low frequency and the importance of the case reported, the emperor is usually not particularly important in hand, and he will definitely meet him immediately.

Sure enough, the eunuch came out after a while, and said to Zhang Changshen with a smile: "Lord Zhang, the emperor is invited." You come with us. ”

Zhang Changshen followed him in.

"Okay, I know what you said, so I'll do as you say." When Emperor Xiao Qi saw Zhang Changshen coming in, he prepared to send Cen Taifu and Wu Shangshu.

"Your Majesty ......" Zhang Changshen looked at the two of them, and stopped talking.

"What's wrong? Could it be that the case is related to the two of them? Seeing this, Xiao Qi frowned and asked.

Zhang Changshen hurriedly saluted: "There is something to do with it." ”

Xiao Qi nodded and said to Mrs. Cen and Wu Shangshu: "Then you two can stay and listen." ”

Zhang Changshen put the dossier in front of Xiao Qi and said: "Wei Liniang, the daughter of Lord Wei of Taichang Temple, dropped one of her twin sons with the daughter of Zhao Yuanxun, Marquis of Suiping, fourteen years ago. Zhao Jingli, the son of the Marquis of Suiping, was actually born to Zhao Yuanliang and Wei Liniang, the second sons of the Suiguo Gongshu. ”

Xiao Qi's brows furrowed, and his expression was a little displeased: "What does this case have to do with Cen Aiqing and Wu Aiqing?" You can just do it as usual. As for Wei Qiu, I will reprimand and punish him. ”

Mrs. Cen and Wu Shangshu glanced at each other.

They knew that the emperor had this attitude after learning about the case.

Zhang Changshen's expression did not change at all, and after making a gesture, he got up, his tone was still calm: "In the trial of Wei Liniang's case of changing her son, the minister tried the culprit of Wen Shangshu's grandson's case. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Qi's expression changed, "Isn't it Liu Chengde's son who harmed the life of Wen Shangshu's grandson?" ”

"The emperor still remembers that the minister said that there was something strange about this case." Zhang Chang said cautiously.

Xiao Yu nodded: "I remember." But you've checked it, but you haven't found any evidence. ”

At that time, Wei Qiu and Liu Chengde were vying for the post of secretary of the ministry. Later, Liu Chengde was demoted because of this case, and under the opposition of the ministers who were good friends with him, Wei Qiu failed to become the secretary of the ministry, but he still became the secretary of Taichang Temple.

Back then, Zhang Changshen said that vested interests were the most suspicious, and he investigated Wei Qiu and the Wei family, but found nothing.
