Chapter 63: Erchen has no evidence
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is too arrogant, since he has confessed his guilt, please ask Your Majesty to deal with it according to my Daqing law!"
As soon as the minister finished speaking, Liu Yin hurriedly stood up and agreed.
"Father, Liu Qigui is the crown prince, but he did such a heartbreaking thing, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, such a thing has never happened, and I hope that my father will punish him severely!"
Father, did you see that?
How did these ministers treat the emperor, and what did they do about the affinity between the princes and the princes you said.
At this time, Liu Qi's smile suddenly disappeared, and he swept back, and his sharp eyes made the ministers shudder.
What's more, he involuntarily took a step back.
"This king is right, but who says that this king has confessed?"
In the court, everyone was stunned, is there a difference?
"Liu Qi, since you already agree with what the ministers just said, why do you now say that you don't admit your guilt?"
This is also a question in everyone's mind.
Liu Qi smiled and walked to a pillar in the main hall.
"May I ask you, what is this?"
The ministers' faces were full of disdain.
Someone stood up impatiently.
"Can't the prince see it? It's a pillar. β
As soon as the words fell, some people could not help but laugh at the prince, thinking that his move was so naΓ―ve.
"Nope! It's not a pillar, it's a tall spear. β
Hearing this, many people laughed at it.
Liu Yin sneered and took a few steps forward.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, everyone can see that this is a pillar, how to talk about a spear, isn't this a fallacy?"
Liu Qi nodded.
"That's right, the king asks you, if everyone here thinks he's a spear, and only you think he's a pillar, then is it still a pillar?"
"If everyone in the world says that this is a spear, and only you think that this is the pillar, then it is not the pillar!"
Liu Yin was stunned by the question, and the thoughts in his mind turned and turned, and they were almost dry and smoking, but he didn't know how to refute them.
At this moment, a minister stepped forward.
"The crown prince Hugh wants to distort the facts, even if many people think about it, it can't be changed, this is a pillar of truth."
Liu Qi clapped his hands.
"Your Excellency, you said something so good!"
"That's the way it is, even if everyone is convinced that it's a spear, it's still a pillar."
"Is the man who says that the pillar is a spear? That's right, they're just stupid, it's like everyone says, what kind of person this king is, it's not wrong, but it still can't be changed, this king is not guilty! β
I turned around and was waiting here.
The minister who took the initiative to stand up and correct the prince's remarks just now really wanted to give himself a few slaps at this time.
At this time, Yang Wenyuan suddenly bowed to Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty! What the prince said is reasonable, and what we say cannot be used as evidence for sin. β
"However, this matter has been strictly examined by the court captain, and all aspects of the correction show that it was the prince who instigated it, so how should the prince explain it in the face of such ironclad evidence?"
Emperor Qing pondered for a moment.
"Liu Qi, Lord Yang's words, did you hear them? Since you say you're not guilty, do you have proof? β
"Erchen has no evidence!"
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds, and then immediately laughed.
"Without evidence, what are you talking nonsense here?"
"I thought you had something to clear your name, but it turned out that you couldn't get anything, it's a joke."
"But..."
As soon as these two words came out of Liu Qi's mouth, the noisy atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
"However, although there is no evidence, this matter has been carefully investigated by Lord Zhang, and it is complicated, and it absolutely cannot be shown that this is what Erchen did!"
Everyone is confused, what do you mean? Could it be anyone else?
"Father, why don't you let Lord Zhang come over and confront your sons face to face?"
Everyone was even more puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this prince's gourd.
"Okay."
"Xuan, Zhang Shi enters the hall!"
After a while, Zhang Shi entered the hall with a solemn face.
"Weichen, knock on Your Majesty."
"Zhang Shi, I told you to investigate the assassin thoroughly, what is the result?"
Zhang Shi stood up and saluted.
"Your Majesty, whether it is from Huyanchar's confession or all the signs of the investigation, it is clear that the crown prince and Qin Wei are the most suspicious, and they also echo the motive of this case."
At this point, Liu Yin laughed.
"So what else is there to say? Liu Qi heard it, you are the most suspicious, and now you can't come up with evidence to prove it for yourself, what else is there to say? β
Liu Qi glanced at him coldly, only hating himself for being soft-hearted at the beginning, why didn't he cripple him.
"Father, Lord Zhang is saying that Erchen is the most suspicious, and it is in line with the motive for committing the crime, but there is no full evidence, it is sure that it is Erchen."
"Based on what Huyanchar said, how can it be concluded that the retainer is the mastermind?"
Emperor Qing nodded slightly.
"It's true that I can't say it yet, but you must be. But your suspicion is the greatest, and at many times, you and Qin Wei echoed the conditions for committing the crime, what do you say? β
Liu Qi chuckled, turned around and suddenly looked at Liu Yin.
This look made Liu Yin's body tremble.
"Liu Yin, this king asks you, where can you be on the night of Huyanchar's escape?"
Belch... How did this get to me. Liu Yin's face was full of astonishment.
"I took the servants to Nanming Lake to fish that night, and returned to the house early the next morning, and the servants can prove it."
Liu Qi shook his head while laughing.
"The servant is your confidant, what proof do you have that you didn't do anything else that night?"
When Liu Yin heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Liu Qi, don't you spew blood, I'll go back the next day, but it's filled with a bucket of fish."
"Hehe, a bucket of fish, can the fish talk? Can it give you proof? What a joke. β
Liu Yin was a little flustered and no longer argued with Liu Qi.
"Father, wronged, the son really went fishing."
Liu Qi ignored him and turned to look at Emperor Qing on the high platform.
"Father, if you want to say that Qin Wei was suspicious that night, then Liu Yin also has something to be suspicious of, and he also echoed the motive for committing the crime."
Shangshu of the Criminal Department stepped forward at this time.
"The prince Hugh wants to talk nonsense, at this time, Liu Yin does have the time to commit crimes, but he didn't go out, the only one who went out at that time, everyone knows, was Qin Wei under you."
"Although he brought back General Bai Qi, who knows, did he do anything else during the days he went out of this city?"
"Moreover, not long after he returned, Huyanchar entered Kyoto, and it was too much of a coincidence that there was a later assassination, right?"
Facing the correction of Lu Dewang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Qi shook his head.
"No, no, no."
"Lord Lu, if you extrapolate by time, Huyanchar escaped from prison not long ago, but one of them is also outside the city."
"Also, not long before the Huyanchar incident, there was another person who also came from outside the city."
Everyone was full of confusion, and they couldn't guess who the two people Liu Qi was talking about were.
