Chapter XXXVIII: Trial of the Case (Part II)

Liu He kept scolding in his heart, but he had a sad look on his face, and he hated iron and said to Liu Yishan:

"Nephew, I think I've never treated you badly, but why do you do this to me now?!

You are secretly doing evil in my name, and you are expropriating and extorting money.

Now that the East Window incident has happened, you still want to frame me for injustice?!"

Liu He said, turning his head to look at Liu Han, with tears in his eyes, and his heart was broken.

"Big brother, we're a family, why do you want to harm me here?!

You and Yishan went astray and harmed yourself, have you ever thought about what happened to your sister-in-law?"

Liu Han's pupils shrank, and his lips trembled as he looked at his younger brother's eyes.

Liu Yishan was resentful when he heard this, arrogant and lascivious since he was a child, and developed his ruthless and selfish temperament.

He felt that his uncle could rely on Prime Minister Cui to clear his name, but he refused to save them!

And to force them to death, so vicious and selfish, what kind of family?!

Maybe he is now just to avenge the trouble he caused him in the past, so he blamed them all!

If it was his son who was kneeling under this hall now, he wouldn't be so ruthless!

Liu Yishan said hatefully: "Your Majesty, everything we do is instigated by Liu He behind our back!"

He's telling all lies! He just wants me and my dad to take the blame!

My dad said it last night,

The reason why Liu He's name is not on the account books,

That's because Liu He and my father said that they were all a family, and the accounts didn't need to be too clear, as long as they recorded the share of outsiders!

It can be seen that at that time, Liu He must have planned it, and if the matter is revealed one day, he will shirk himself completely......"

Liu Han, whose face was pale, suddenly interrupted his son's accusation in a dumb voice: "...... Shut up!"

"Dad!" Liu Yishan looked at Liu Han with red eyes, "Liu He, he is ruthless and unjust, do you really want to take responsibility for him?"

Cui Cen frowned and glanced at Liu Yishan.

Liu He is really confused, this kind of selfish, stupid and short-sighted nephew should have drawn a line with him as soon as possible!

Don't worry about getting yourself into trouble now, and bite like a mad dog.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yishan has done a lot of evil, and from his words, it is clear that he has a deep grudge against Lord Liu.

If he deliberately retaliates and deliberately makes a false confession, will Your Majesty also be punished accordingly?

Besides, although His Majesty said that other people also confessed that Lord Liu was involved,

Kechen didn't see the confession, and he didn't hear anyone else speak, so why don't you let them say it, is this the case?"

Cui Cen's gaze lightly swept to the dozen or so officials who were kneeling, and said unhurriedly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you are willing to recruit from the truth, Your Majesty will see that you are actively repenting.

But if you do not repent, and deceive others who are innocent,

If the prime minister finds out the truth, he will be severely punished, and the nine clans will be punished!"

A chill condensed in Zhao Xin's eyes.

Saying such things in front of him, the emperor, Cui Cen's attitude is really arrogant!

Directly threaten that group of officials to speak carefully?! Don't take him seriously at all!

Zhao Xin's five fingers clenched suddenly, and the emotions surging in his eyes were suppressed by him, and he sighed.

"Prime Minister Cui Cheng, these people are punished according to the laws and regulations of Great Qin, and the most serious ones are also the three clans.

As soon as you opened your mouth, you directly connected the nine clans, did you regard the law set by my Emperor Taizu as nothing?

If everyone is as the prime minister thinks, and he can deal with the prisoners as he wants,

Then what credibility does my Great Qin Imperial Court still have among the people, and how can it be called fair and just?

Although I am young, I still know these superficial ways of governing the country.

Prime Minister Cui Cheng, as the head of the hundred officials, you should set a correct example for the ministers. ”

The old god was standing with his hands in his hand, and Cui Luan, who was in the background, turned around the emperor's face with great interest, only to feel that today's scene was more exciting than imagined.

The emperor has been constantly refreshing his cognition these days.

Every time he competed with his brother, the emperor was more tolerant than he expected.

For example, now, Cui Cen is in front of the emperor and bluntly speaks of the nine clans.

Not only to warn those officials, but also to throw the emperor's face.

This is still the emperor's pro-government, and Cui Cen has been so directly slapped in front of the ministers.

The emperor's expression was on the verge of exploding, but he still endured it.

Not only did he not talk back, but he also said this reasonably.

But everyone with brains present could hear that the emperor was stabbing Cui Cen with a bend.

It's a pity that the current emperor fights with an old fox like his brother, and he is the one who suffers.

Cui Cen was annoyed for a while, his expression was a little colder, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at Zhao Xin's gaze.

"Since the emperor keeps saying that it is fair and just,

But with just an account book and a few confessions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, it is determined that Lord Liu is corrupt and bribed.

The old minister is stupid, I don't know what kind of fairness and justice this is?"

Zhao Xin secretly took a deep breath and warned himself to endure it, and first write down the old horseman's account in a small notebook!

Liu Muzhi suddenly bowed to Zhao Xin and said:

"Your Majesty, when these officials were arrested last night, Xichang had already interrogated them and recorded their full confessions.

The ministers also saw that there was not a single scar on their bodies, and what they said was by no means a trick of torture.

Your Majesty may give the confession to Prime Minister Choi and the ministers, and if there is any discrepancy between what they will say later and the confession,

is deliberately deceiving the king, even if His Majesty is benevolent and intentionally gives them a chance to mend their ways,

It's also that they don't know how to cherish it, and it should be like what Prime Minister Cui Cheng said, and the sin should be connected to the nine clans. ”

Zhao Xin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise Liu Muzhi in his heart.

This man is usually silent, but he is not clumsy.

Cui Cen secretly rubbed and warned the officials not to talk nonsense.

But now Liu Muzhi said this, which also blocked their idea of changing their confession.

Zhao Xin looked at the dozen or so people kneeling in the hall with uneasy expressions, the corners of his mouth hooked, and said loudly:

"Fortunately, Liu Aiqing reminded me, but I didn't expect this.

Come and distribute these confessions they confessed last night to Prime Minister Cui Cheng and the ministers to circulate.

You Aiqing testify that if what these people say later proves to be false, it will be a crime plus one degree and even the nine clans!

If their words cannot fully prove Liu He's innocence, Liu He will be taken to prison until the truth is found out before another trial!

Prime Minister Choi, what do you think of this?"

The imperial eunuch followed the emperor's instructions and distributed the confession.

Cui Cen pinched the confession in his hand, and his face was a little ugly.

The other ministers also had different faces, exchanged glances with each other, and no one spoke.

Zhao Xin stared coldly at the dozen or so officials, and said in a deep voice:

"Now you can say, Jiang Dawei, start with you!"

The dozen or so officials were flustered, this ...... The emperor and Prime Minister Cui Cheng have all talked about this, what do they say?!

I feel that no matter what I say, not only will I definitely die, but even my family will be buried with me!

Jiang Dawei, who was the first to be named, knelt on the ground and trembled slightly, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

He felt that when he was arrested last night, nothing made him more panicked than this moment.
