Chapter 417 Ordered to Hear the Case 3
The meaning of this relief is obviously for Ye Xuling to sleep, and the people want to scold one by one when they hear it, and the expressions of Mrs. Qi and Uncle Qi are a little angry.
Prince: "This way of relieving boredom is really special, it is actually abducted from outside the house, or a person dressed as a man, you are really amazing." ”
In fact, Li Tong also felt that something was wrong when he said this, but they didn't have the ability to make wisdom in a hurry, so they could only talk nonsense.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department slapped the shocked wood: "Bold Li Tong, when you get to the lobby, you still dare to talk nonsense, if you refuse to tell the truth again, don't blame the official for torturing you." ”
Li Tong was frightened, he quietly glanced in the direction of King Hengjun, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
Qi Xi'er said boldly: "My lord, Li Tong is obviously talking nonsense, the courtiers were knocked unconscious by them and brought back to the Hengjun Palace.
However, when they were sober, they happened to hear the conversation between their master and two servants, and they said that at a glance, they could see that the courtier was a woman disguised as a man, and it was much better than the previous goods.
The courtiers felt that these words were too filthy, and they couldn't speak eloquently and didn't say anything to anyone, but this person named Li Tong clearly didn't want to admit what she had done, so the courtiers let it go, and forgot to check it out with adults. ”
Li Tong retorted: "Nonsense, how can we say this, this is the first time that the two of us have taken people captive, and the women who had accidents before have nothing to do with us." ”
The Criminal Department Shangshu said: "Suspect Li Tong, since you said that Miss Qi was taken back to the Hengjun Mansion by you, then did you enter the front door or the back door of the palace." ”
Li Tong didn't think it mattered much to which door he went, so he replied casually: "Of course it's the back door, how dare you make a big deal about this kind of thing." ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately said: "It's good for you to admit it, come here, bring witnesses." ”
Li Tong wondered what witnesses he needed to bring with him when he entered which door.
Two forty or fifty-year-old women had been sent in, and the two women had been hanging their heads and didn't dare to look at people, and after being brought into the hall, they knelt on the ground with a bang, "I've seen Lord Qingtian." ”
There was a trace of embarrassment on the face of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the word "Qingtian Master", to be honest, he really couldn't afford it.
"Whoever is in the hall, report your name."
The two women hurriedly said, "The old woman Chen Li." ”
"The old woman, Bai Zhang, is a descendant of the Hengjun Palace, and she is usually responsible for guarding the gate of the backyard."
"Do you know these three people in the hall?"
The two of them hurriedly said: "I know each other, the one lying down is the eldest prince, and the other two are the entourage of the eldest prince, one is called Li and the other is called Li Zhu. ”
"Why are they buying you wine?"
"Because they often let us open the back door, sometimes during the day, sometimes at night, for fear that we would be upset, they would buy us some wine and food to eat, and occasionally some silver taels ......"
"Open the back door often? So what's so unusual about them? ”
Chen Li said: "Every time he goes back to find a gift for the eldest son, he will carry a big bag when he comes back." ”
Up and down the hall, there was a sudden explosion outside the yali, and the face of the king of Hengjun was also difficult to see, he knew that this matter must not be hidden, but he really didn't expect that it was because of the two gatekeepers in the palace to break the way, and when did the criminal department Shangshu go to the palace to get people?
"And what about them...... How long has it been since you were looking for a gift for your eldest son? ”
Chen Li thought for a while: "Great, it's been about five or six years, and Li Tong has been with the eldest prince for almost five or six years. ”
Bai Zhangshi said: "It's five years, the old woman remembers very clearly, five years ago in the spring, it rained one day, the old woman and the steward asked for leave, went home to plant the land for a day, and came back to be on duty all night, because it was said that it was good, and then, Li Tong and Li Zhu came in with a hemp bag, and they stuffed us with five taels of silver, so that we should have never seen them."
At that time, they only went out occasionally, and the old woman didn't pay much attention, but they were really a little strange, every time they found a gift for the eldest prince, it didn't take long for them to carry things out of the house, and the excuses given were that the eldest prince didn't like it. ”
"How many times have they done this, do you know?"
Chen Li and Bai Zhang glanced at each other, "I can't remember the exact number, but there will be one or two times a month over the years." There are also two people in the house who watch the back door, and we are all on duty, but I don't know if they have brought gifts back when we are not guarding the door. ”
Li Tong hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, Chen Li, you are talking nonsense!" It's the first time we've brought someone back today, so you don't want to die, do you? ”
Chen Li is afraid of the Lord of the Criminal Department, the prince, and the King of Hengjun, but only Li Tong and Li Zhu, because the people who brought them here have already said that as long as they tell the truth, the eldest prince will be able to clear the suspicion, and the prince will also reward them greatly, and when Li Tong and Li Zhu's crimes are convicted, those two can't retaliate against them even if they want to.
"Huh! How dare you threaten us? If you do too many small bad things, you will be punished! Oh, old woman, I forgot, you have already suffered retribution, and God can't even see it, and thunder will smash you directly.
In the past, the old lady didn't think much about it, but today it seems that those ruined little girls were all done by the two of you, what to give a gift to the eldest son, you are using the eldest prince as a shield! The eldest prince was harmed by you two shameless beasts like this! ”
After Chen Li finished speaking, he also glanced at King Hengjun as if he was invited, and the angry King of Hengjun scolded the two of them for being stupid.
Hearing the familiar words, the corners of the prince's mouth couldn't help twitching again.
Ye Xuling, who was lying on the ground, rolled his eyes, but still didn't say a word.
"Silence!"
Chen Li was suddenly honest.
The Criminal Department Shangshu said: "Chen Li, is what you just said true?" ”
"It's true, the old woman definitely doesn't have half a lie, please check it out with Lord Qingtian!"
"Li Tong Li Zhu, how many people have you taken back in the name of giving gifts to Ye Xuling?"
Li Tong and Li Zhu quietly glanced at the right front, looked at their prince with a frosty face, and then simply gritted their teeth: "Back to the adult, the kidnapping of Miss Qi was done by us, and the women who had an accident in Beijing in the past were also handled by the two of us, and we don't remember how many people there were, but there are almost dozens of people, the two of us are the flower thieves in the mouths of the people, and we have nothing to do with our eldest son. ”
The Criminal Department Shangshu said angrily: "Do you think that's all your sins? You say that you have spoiled people, but where have you spoiled them? ”
"This, this, naturally, is in our accommodation."
