Chapter 922: A fatal knife that fell into the well
Letters, small seals, and official documents are placed on the table.
Li Shiheng knelt in the lobby, with all the human and material evidence.
Duan Baoxuan glanced at Pei Yan and Cui Mi respectively, and asked calmly, "Two, what should we do next?" ”
"What's more, just close the case directly, fornicate with Tibet, sell the news, kill passers-by, spy on the center, Li Jingye should be punished for his crimes." Cui Mi's eyes revealed a killing intent.
On that day, King Xiang got married, and although Cui Mi himself went to the Dou family, his sister-in-law went to King Xiang's mansion on his behalf.
If the palace really catches fire, under the chaos, his sister-in-law will have an accident if he doesn't say it well.
What's more, although Cui Mi is a son of a family, he has a close relationship with the bachelor of Beimen, which means that he is likely to choose Li Dan in the future.
Judging from Li Jingye's face that has been exposed now, his methods are ruthless and vicious, meticulous and thorough.
If it hadn't been discovered early by the King of Nanchang that day, I'm afraid that there would have been a fire in the Xiangwang Mansion.
Duan Baoxuan nodded, turned to look at Pei Yan, and said in a deep voice: "Pei Shangshu, what does the Criminal Department think?" ”
Pei Yan sighed deeply and said, "Now everything has confirmed the guilt of the British public, and this church also approves it, but it is just ...... In any case, the Church believes that at least the British Duke should be given a chance to defend himself in court. ”
"There are all human and material evidence, if the British Duke wants to defend himself, this king will fight for him a chance in front of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Li Xuan's face was cold.
Seeing that Pei Yan still wanted to say something, Li Xuan shook his head and said: "Pei Gong, if this king's guess is correct, even if he calls the British Duke to the court, he will only say that everything was not done by him, everything was planted by others, and then force the witness to change his words." ”
Li Xuan turned his head to look at Li Shiheng and asked directly, "By the way, where are your two sons now?" ”
Li Shiheng bowed his head deeply and said, "Half a month ago, I was sent to Caozhou. ”
"General Zhonglang." Li Xuan immediately looked at He Yan.
Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang immediately surrendered He Yan: "The end will be." ”
"You go back now, immediately send someone to Caozhou, find out Li Shiheng's two sons, and then Qianniu Wei hides it, and when the matter is over, send it to the northwest." Li Xuan gave the order directly.
He Yan did not hesitate, and immediately gave his hand and said: "The last general will take the order." ”
Turning around, He Yan bowed his hand towards Pei Yan, Duan Baoxuan and Cui Mi, and then turned around and left.
Duan Baoxuan glanced at Li Xuan deeply, he knew that He Yan was not listening to Li Xuan, but he also wanted to find out the truth of last year's case.
Because if last year's case was really the Tubo people who stole the military intelligence of the Northeast from Zhongshu Province, then it would be tantamount to a dereliction of duty by Qianniuwei.
At this time, Pei Yan turned his head, looked at Duan Baoxuan seriously, and asked in a deep voice: "Duan Gong, what do you think, even if the British Duke is guilty, he should be qualified to defend himself in court, even if he is a death row prisoner, he has the opportunity to speak before he is beheaded." ”
Pei Yan did not deny that Li Jingye was guilty, he just hoped that Li Jingye would have one last chance to speak.
No matter what, Li Jingye is Li Qian's grandson, and under this banner, no one can say anything about Pei Yan.
Pei Yan is selling favors, but this favor is not sold to Li Jingye, but it is sold to other people who want to save Li Jingye.
Duan Baoxuan turned his head and looked at Li Shiheng, who was bowing his head in a heavy face.
Li Jingye is guilty, this is something that has been proven,
Duan Baoxuan also served under Li Qian back then, and someone had greeted him before, hoping to let Li Jingye go.
But now that Li Jingye is guilty, he only has one last chance to turn over.
If he can't seize the last opportunity, he'll just die.
Duan Baoxuan turned his head and glanced at Li Xuan.
The king of Nanchang undoubtedly wants to put Li Jingye to death, and even if Li Jingye comes back, he may not have much chance to turn around.
Let him open his mouth once, and want to come to His Majesty to explain to the main general.
Thinking of this, Duan Baoxuan said, "Everyone, the facts of this matter ......."
"Ahem!" A cough suddenly rang out from outside the courtroom.
Duan Baoxuan subconsciously raised his head, and saw a familiar figure flashing quickly.
Duan Baoxuan was stunned.
Di Renjie, why did he come.
Immediately, Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a gloomy face, what does the king of Nanchang mean by this, do you threaten them with Di Renjie?
At this time, Li Xuan suddenly smiled, looked at Duan Baoxuan, and said, "Since Duan Gong is also interested, then call the British Duke over, this king happens to have some other things, and I want to ask the British Prince." ”
"Anything else?" Duan Baoxuan's heart immediately felt a sigh.
For a moment, he felt an incomparable threat coming from Li Xuan's body.
In his heart, he directly told him that if Li Jingye was really called, then Li Xuan would really be able to send Li Jingye into the eighteenth layer of hell.
Pei Yan on one side noticed the strange atmosphere, looked at Li Xuan with some incomprehension, and asked, "I don't know if the prince has anything else to ask the British duke?" ”
"Not much, just three or five things." Li Xuan turned around, looked at the public hall in front of him, and said calmly: "When I was in Hangzhou last year, there were remnants of the Tianyin Sect hidden in the British Public Palace; and in Chang'an, some people used the British Mansion to spy on the palace and set up altars; At the beginning of this year, the ......"
"Lord Wang!" Duan Baoxuan unceremoniously interrupted Li Xuan, and then said directly: "That's it for today, Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Criminal Department will try the case, even if there is no confession from the British public, you can be convicted; Of course, Duan will also inform the British Duke of today's events and ask him to write a statement of defense, and as for whether to retry, it is up to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven to decide...... Perhaps, His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven will ask the British Duke in person. ”
"That's it." Pei Yan glanced at Li Xuan with some fear.
He now finally understands what Li Xuan's last killer weapon is.
Prince Hidden, Demon Cult.
Li Jingye was also deeply involved in these two things, that is, the emperor and the Empress Wu always felt that he was being used, so they did not pursue it.
But now, Li Xuan broke the news out, and when the sinister people thought about it, Li Jingye sold pig iron to Tibet in exchange for money, and everything had a reason.
Support the restoration of the descendants of Prince Yin.
The affairs of the descendants of Prince Yin can be concealed from the vast majority of officials in the court, but they can never be concealed from the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Dali Siqing and Yushi Zhongcheng.
Once this matter is lifted, it will immediately cause a monstrous wave.
……
Seeing that the three of them shrank back, Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then took the initiative to retreat half a step: "Human witness, this king doesn't want to let the British public see it anymore, at least before Qian Niuwei comes back from Caozhou, he doesn't want to, but the rest of the evidence, this king doesn't mind the British public seeing."
If the British Duke can refute all of this, the King will not mind seeing him again. ”
Letters, small seals, official documents.
These things are not something that a person can deny with empty words and white teeth.
Duan Baoxuan nodded, breathing a sigh of relief, it seems that the king of Nanchang is still a little in awe of the British duke.
The British Duke here refers to Li Quan.
At the moment when Duan Baoxuan sighed, He Yiqiu suddenly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Duan Gong, today's trial of the case, a lot of new evidence was found, and his subordinates requested that they dig deep on this basis, and I believe that more evidence will come out." ”
Duan Baoxuan's face was immediately stunned.
Pei Yan also took a deep breath and shook his head helplessly.
Cui Mi nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, continue to investigate, this official sent Di Renjie to assist you." Huaiying! ”
Cui Mi shouted outside the public hall, and the next moment, Di Renjie, who was dressed in a green official robe, walked in quickly from the outside.
Cui Mi said directly: "Next, you assist He Sizheng to continue to investigate the case." ”
"Whoa!" Di Renjie bowed his head and arched his hand.
Duan Baoxuan and Pei Yan turned to look at Cui Mi sideways and couldn't help but shake their heads.
This guy didn't know that he was being used...... Or, he himself has to rely on Di Renjie's ability.
"Okay, that's all for today, please also ask Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Criminal Department to sort out today's files and send them directly to the palace, whether to continue tomorrow or not, listen to the will of the palace." Li Xuan stood up, Li Dan also stood up, and then solemnly bowed his hands to Duan Baoxuan, Cui Mi and Pei Yan, and then turned to leave.
Sending Li Xuan and Li Dan away, Duan Baoxuan turned his head, looked at Pei Yan and Cui Mi, and said solemnly: "Two, bring the witnesses down, I will wait for the three of them to take the evidence to meet the British duke, if he can't explain to him today, then he will stay here today." ”
"Yes!" Pei Yan and Cui Mi said yes.
……
East Palace, main hall.
Li Xian looked at the secret report in his hand, looked at Zhang Da'an and Huangfu Gongyi who were sitting on both sides, frowned and asked, "Li Jingye is actually related to Prince Yin?" ”
Zhang Da'an's face was solemn, he shook his head slightly, and said: "I didn't expect this matter, but the Demon Sect has used the British Duke several times, which is a real thing. If it was before, the minister might think that this was just a coincidence, but Your Highness, the British public smuggled Tibet, and the Tibetan and Demon Sects colluded, and the Demon Sect cultivated the descendants of Prince Yin, so that the Demon Sect used the British Prince, I am afraid it is not a coincidence. ”
As soon as Zhang Da'an's words came out, Li Xian's expression was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became cold.
He sneered and said, "Lone originally wanted to give him a chance, who would have thought that he would want my Li family's Jiangshan Sheji to die alone." ”
Huangfu Gongyi sat on the side, frowned and said: "This time, it can be imagined that the British public is not simple, and the matter of Hangzhou is fine, but the matter of Chang'an, just opposite the palace, how can it be easily used by gangsters, this matter, the British public intentions are very dangerous." ”
At the mention of Li Jingye's courtyard in Chang'an, Li Xian's face immediately became gloomy.
It is not far from Taiji Palace, but there are people who set up private altars there to worship Emperor Gaozu.
This is a blatant provocation to the royal family.
Li Xian's fists were already clenched tightly.
"Your Highness." Zhang Da'an arched his hand and said softly: "You can pass the letter to Dali Temple, within three days, no one is allowed to see the British Duke again, what the King of Nanchang said today, it is best not to let the British Duke know, and then look at the matter of the Japanese Dynasty, His Royal Highness please play, let the British Duke defend himself, so that the Duke of Pingyang County also has an explanation." ”
Li Xian and Huangfu Gongyi looked at Zhang Da'an at the same time, their faces strange at the same time.
Don't let Li Jingye know that the court has already known about his collusion with Prince Yin, once he goes to the court, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to get out again.
"Okay, that's it."
Li Xian's fists were clenched, he wanted to see how Li Jingye would defend himself when he arrived.
Unconsciously, Li Xian had forgotten that he had asked Li Xuan to let Li Jingye go.
