Chapter Ninety-Six: The Trial Is Completed (12 Changes)
Dali Temple is responsible for the review of major cases in various places, so those who can enter the trial hall of Dali Temple are basically serious criminals.
Princess Gao Ping stood on the top of the lobby and was a little stunned. The lobby was empty, and that bastard Li Xisong had disappeared after bringing her back, not knowing what tricks they were playing.
Waiting until midday, two teams of officials rushed in and stood on both sides of the lobby, each with a neat face and not squinting.
Subsequently, Li Xisong, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Shaoqing of Dali Temple, often returned. Both of them were wearing official uniforms and their faces were solemn. After sitting down, Li Xisong said, "Princess, please take a seat." β
Two officials brought up a couch. Yongxing sat down unceremoniously and asked in a loud voice, "Li Xisong, do you know that you have committed a capital crime by bringing this princess here?" β
Li Xisong ignored her and said loudly: "At the second watch last night, the city defense army rescued an injured young woman two hundred meters outside the princess's mansion and captured several murderers. The woman, who claimed to be a slave of the princess, was beaten by the princess at night, and ordered her to be put in a sack and thrown into the river. She desperately broke free and fled. The official interrogated several murderers overnight, and several of them confessed that they were instructed by the princess. This matter pointed directly to Princess Gaoping, and I don't know what the princess has to say. β
Yongxing rolled his eyes: "Joke, what kind of world is this?" Anyone who casually injures himself and gathers a group of homeless people to confess, can he accuse the royal family? β
"The princess also denied it?" Li Xisong's face was expressionless.
Yongxing glanced at Chang Fu, who was sitting next to him and was recording quickly. The record book was made by Si Cheng, but the case involved the princess, and the record confession was made by Shaoqing himself.
"Of course I don't! How have I beaten my slaves and tried to kill them? It's nonsense! Yongxing held his head high, arrogant.
Li Xisong was unhurried, took a booklet in his hand, flipped through it twice, looked up and said: "The slaves and maids in the princess's mansion are all brought out from the palace, and there are records in the palace books. It is recorded here that the princess asked the inner court for a palace maid named Qin Meng on the twenty-third of the previous month. I have ordered someone to check on the princess's mansion, but there is no such palace maid in the princess's mansion. Coincidentally, the girl who was rescued by the city defense army called herself Qin Meng. β
"Qin Meng is new, and he is not smart in doing things, so I will stay in the Yongji Palace."
Li Xisong smiled faintly: "Okay." However, Xia Guan found an interesting thing when he checked the books of the inner court, in the past year, the Yongji Hall has had frequent personnel changes, and he has asked the Inner Court Office for people seven times. β
Yongxing smiled arrogantly: "I am demanding, those subordinates do not do good things, I don't want to stay, and I don't want to return to the inner court to let them make other Niangniang princes angry, so I let them out of the palace." When there are fewer people, it is natural to ask for it from the inner court, isn't it strange? β
Li Xisong smiled faintly again, and gestured to Chang Fu on the side.
Chang Fu stepped down from his seat and presented half of the waist card in front of Yongxing.
"Does the princess recognize this?"
Yongxing glanced at it with a cold face: "This is my waist card of the Yongji Palace." How is it only half a piece? Where did you pick it up? β
"If you want to talk about the origin of this half of the waist card, it's a little terrifying, the princess heard it clearly-" Li Xisong stared at Princess Gaoping with blazing eyes: "A few days ago, someone reported that the Qiwei River was blocked, and when the River Department was dredging the river, it actually fished out seven corpses from the river, all of them were young women, without coats, and they were all wounded. And this half of the waist cardβ" He paused, stared at Yongxing's face that was gradually pale, and said word by word, "It was found from one of the corpses." β
He stepped out of his seat, slowly walked to the princess, picked up the half of the waist card and carried it in front of her eyes: "Your Royal Highness the princess, can you explain?" β
Yongxing's heart was in turmoil, but he still quibbled: "How can the waist card in my palace appear on the corpse, how do I know?" Could it be that someone stole it? β
Li Xisong sneered: "Little boy? Stealing only half a waist card? Figure what? β
He walked back to the previous big case, picked up another roster on the case, and said, "The seven corpses have all been identified, and they are the seven palace maids who disappeared from the Yongji Hall before. It would be a coincidence if the princess didn't know. These seven people were sent out of the palace by the princess, and they all went to the Seven Tails River, and they all took off their coats for some reason, and they all abused themselves all over their bodies, and then they all committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river? The public supervisor taught his subordinates in a good way, and even the steps of seeking death were so consistent. β
Yongxing opened his mouth and had nothing to say, so he could only raise his head: "I don't need to explain these false accusations!" I want to see my father! β
Li Xisong ignored her and said, "Take Liu Sanyang, the steward of the princess's mansion." β
After a while, Liu Sanyang, who was short and fat, was escorted in by several officials. As soon as he entered, he fell to his knees and stammered, "My lord, spare my life, the princess let me do everything." Qin Meng was also killed by the princess! β
"Liu Sanyang, you are spewing blood!" Yongxing saw that Liu Sanyang easily defected, so he scolded angrily, and kicked over while getting up, kicking the short and fat Liu Sanyang to the ground and rolling half a circle.
Liu Sanyang was a eunuch who followed her out of the Yongji Palace, because she usually liked her and was reused by her, but she didn't expect that the eunuch was the eunuch, and he immediately betrayed the master as soon as he encountered something!
As if he hadn't seen it, Li Xisong asked Liu Sanyang: "Princess Jinzhi Yuye, why do you want to kill Qin Meng?" β
Liu Sanyang got up and stammered aggrieved: "Yesterday at noon, Prime Minister Yuwen came to the princess's mansion and looked at Qin Meng twice. The princess said that Qin Meng was looking for an opportunity to hook up with the prime minister. After the prime minister left, he kept beating Qin Meng, and in the middle of the night, he asked the villains to put her in a sack and throw her into the river to drown. It's really none of the villain's business, even the fight was fought by the princess herself! β
Yongxing scolded one by one, and stretched out his foot to kick again. Chang Fu motioned to the officials to pull Liu Sanyang aside. Yoo Sanyang was kicked in the nose by the princess and bled out. He stretched out his hand and wiped the blood, and howled like a pig.
Li Xisong snorted: "Shut up!" You're not the mastermind but also an accomplice, what kind of face do you have to howl here?! β
Liu Sanyang suddenly closed his voice.
Li Xisong asked again: "What about the seven palace maids before?" How did they all die? β
Liu Sanyang had a bitter face: "The princess has a big temper on weekdays, and she beats the palace maid whenever she is unsatisfied." When you are tired of fighting, you have to fight with the Yellow Gate and the guards. Three were killed alive. There are two more, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the princess went to the outer hall to see Yuwen Chengxiang, heard that Yuwen Chengxiang did not like her combed hair and wore clothes, and when she came back, she strangled the two palace maids who were responsible for dressing her that night. There are two more...... It's been too long, and the villain doesn't remember it. After killing it, throw it at the exit of the royal river, and ...... And he went out of the palace. β
Li Xisong closed his eyes fiercely, and felt a wave of anger slowly flowing through his heart. I can't even remember the reason for such a thing as killing, which shows how far these people have disregarded people's lives!
