Faced with Meng Zhengqi's hints, Cai Ming was unmoved.

He already understood Zheng Yuan's wrist.

What's more, the minister from the imperial court, Lord Li Ji, has also arrived.

At this time, if he still stupidly fell to Meng Zhengqi, he would undoubtedly kill himself.

He said with great righteousness and awe:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what the lower officials said is true. And no one coerced it. These correspondence are all correspondence between the lower officials and the Lord Assassin."

"The lower officials listened to the words of Lord Shi and killed many adults who were originally innocent. The lower officials are willing to take on this responsibility."

Hearing this, the face of Meng Zhengqi revealed a gloom.

This Cai Ming really doesn't know how to lift.

However, in the face of Cai Ming's report and evidence, Meng Zhengqi did not restrain himself.

"Cai Ming, what benefits did the other party give you, and actually let you fabricate such non-existent things to frame your own official?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the official insists that the things that the envoy said have nothing to do with the official!"

Listening to Meng Zhengqi arguing loudly over there.

On this side, the eldest grandson Wuji pouted and said, "This guy has a hard mouth!"

Qin Fan also nodded approvingly: "Yes, maybe in a few hundred years, when people open this guy's grave, they will find an extremely stiff mouth."

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "If that's the case, then this person's mouth has become a treasure!"

Seeing that the three of them were giggling there, Li Ji and Zheng Yuan didn't react.

After all, it was His Majesty and the people close to His Majesty.

For the eldest grandson, Li Ji is also an old acquaintance.

And Qin Fan is Zheng Yuan's teacher.

Zheng Yuan had informed himself of this before.

However, that Meng Zhengqi was unhappy.

In his eyes, these three people are Zheng Yuan's acquaintances, and because of Zheng Yuan's relationship, he was able to enter here to listen to the case.

Now, it's clear that the other party is making fun of himself.

So he was furious and said, "Bold! Who are the three of you? Above the court, you dare to play and fight?"

"Don't you treat my Tang Dynasty law as if it were nothing?"

Hearing this, Qin Fan felt a little ridiculous.

A man who has broken countless laws, facing the ridicule of several people at this moment, actually uses the law as a weapon to attack.

However, Zheng Yuan frowned and said, "Meng Zhengqi, your case is not clear, and you are not qualified to question others."

Meng Zhengqi snorted coldly and did not speak.

Anyway, he just won't admit it, as long as he doesn't admit it, as an assassin, these people don't dare to execute themselves in such a situation where the chain of evidence is not perfect.

In this way, the relationship behind him will be reversed, and finally he can be acquitted.

Meng Zhengqi thought so.

However, Zheng Yuan clapped his hands, but Nie Li, the chief bookkeeper, took out a large number of account books.

Meng Zhengqi looked at Zheng Yuan's actions, and some bad premonitions emerged in his heart.

And Zheng Yuan also lived up to his premonition.

Zheng Yuan picked up an account book, opened it and said:

"Meng Zhengqi, then the land of Luding Mountain north of Taicang is your Meng family's property?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhengqi was uncertain.

But Zheng Yuan didn't wait for him to answer, turned the pages of the account book, and continued to ask:

"Then are the lakes and valleys and elm ponds your Meng's inheritance?"

Subsequently, Zheng Yuan said hundreds of industries like beans in a bamboo tube.

Meng Zhengqi was sweating profusely from the beginning, and he was completely numb in the end.

He didn't understand why his background was so clearly investigated.

You must know that these industries have been installed under his name one by one by relying on power over the years.

So, he spoke, "Your Excellency, these are all my dreams

The ancestral property of the family!"

Zheng Yuan laughed: "What an ancestral property!"

"You Meng Zhengqi is in the Sui Dynasty, and you are just a mere jinshi, and you are only a county commander."

"Your ancestor, your father was a poor scholar with no merit, and your grandfather was just a scholar in a large family."

"Do you need me to go back further?"

Hearing this, Meng Zhengqi was silent.

Zheng Yuan continued to export: "These industries of yours are worth the accumulation of hundreds of years of accumulation by a medium-sized family."

"This shows how many bad things you have done over the years! How many taels of silver have they embezzled, and how many people have they oppressed."

"If it weren't for forcible grabbing. With your wealth, even if you have served as a thorn for hundreds of years, you can't buy one-twelfth of them!"

Li Shimin also looked angry.

This man owns so many properties.

Many of them must have been forcibly seized through their official positions in the history of assassination.

However, the imperial court gave him the position of assassin in history, so that he could benefit one party, not become a scourge of one place!

Even if some of them were purchased through formal channels, where did the large sum of silver taels come from?

It's not about sucking blood from the people and plucking the hair from the court!

Qin Fan saw Meng Zhengqi's restrained voice at this time, and couldn't help reminding:

"Don't forget the officials who were wrongfully imprisoned, and perhaps they have a connection to these industries."

Zheng Yuan nodded approvingly.

Master was really like a god.

After seizing the list of unjustly killed officials, he hesitated for a while.

Because of this evidence alone, even if there is a warden Cai Ming as a witness, there is no way to completely barb Shi Meng Zhengqi.

And after thinking about it for a long time, when interrogating other subordinates, Zheng Yuan found that Meng Zhengqi had secretly placed a lot of properties.

So, he followed the vine and recorded all the industrial investigations according to the clues.

Then something was discovered.

Some of these industries are the unjust death of officials.

Perhaps, those officials who died unjustly are not all Meng Zhengqi's sworn enemies, and some of them are just rich and suspenseful.

His own industry aroused Meng Zhengqi's covetousness, which caused the disaster of death.

Not only was he unjustly imprisoned, but he was also killed in prison.

The family property was taken away, and the fate of his wife, sons, and daughters must not be much better.

Zheng Yuan slowly spoke: "Of the 128 properties just mentioned, 35 were originally the property of the officials who were unjustly imprisoned."

"But now, all those have fallen into the hands of your Meng Zhengqi, what do you have to say about this?"

Meng Zhengqi's face turned pale and he didn't say a word.

Because at this moment, the last link in the chain of evidence has been completed.

And with this complete evidence, it is completely enough to convict Meng Zhengqi and put him to death!

But Zheng Yuan didn't stop, this evidence of Meng Zhengqi's crime is far more than what is in front of him.

He continued to speak, confessing the charges one by one.

Meng Zhengqi saw that the general trend had gone, and he didn't say a word, so he listened silently.

In the end, Zheng Yuan opened his mouth and sentenced:

"This official pronounced the sentence in the capacity of a special envoy: Meng Zhengqi, who has been in office for decades, has brutalized good people, framed colleagues, and instigated subordinates."

"All the bad things are done, and the conscience is lost. Sentenced to be escorted to Chang'an, and beheaded after the autumn!"
