"Sinner Shi Kailin, see Your Highness!"

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw Shi Kailin holding his hands behind his back and kneeling on the ground with a pop.

Immediately after, all the officials and soldiers standing behind him threw down their blades and knelt on the ground with them.

And behind them, standing were all the people of Jincheng.

Liu Qi slowly stepped forward and helped Shi Kailin up.

"Come on, untie Master Shi!"

Although Shi Kailin is guilty, he is not a man who does so, and he is also worthy of his admiration.

Liu Qi gave him the courtesy he deserved, and walked in front, leading everyone, through the crowd of ordinary people, towards the Taishou Mansion...

...

Sitting in Shi Kailin's former position, looking at Shi Kailin below, I don't know how he feels.

Liu Qi took a deep breath.

"Master Shi, you can say it."

Shi Kailin nodded, looked around, and then faced the prince.

"Things start from the eighth day of last month..."

Halfway through hearing this, Liu Qi gasped and couldn't help clenching his fists.

"What you said is true?"

"Your Highness, you heard it right, the one who drove the subordinate to do this is the son of the squire of the military department of the dynasty, Hu Hui!"

The squire of the military department, Hu Tingyi. It is equivalent to the second-in-command of the military department.

Not only is this person in a high position, but his identity is also very special.

The Hu Hui mentioned by Shi Kailin is married to Princess Yamen, the daughter of Concubine Liu, that is, one of his sisters, and he is naturally Daqing's concubine.

The father is a minister of the court, the mother-in-law is the imperial concubine of the dynasty, and the wife is the princess of the dynasty. A proper winner in life.

What a son of an official eunuch, a good relative of the emperor!

Liu Qiqi's body trembled.

"Go on."

Shi Kailin told the story, and then in front of everyone, he uncovered the silent truth of Ma Feng Village!

The cause of the incident was Hu Hui, who came to Jincheng one day, took a fancy to a folk girl, and forcibly defiled her.

Later, he was worried that the matter would be exposed, and he sent someone to investigate and learned that his daughter was from Luzhang County, Mafeng Village.

His father was unwilling, so he thought of reporting to the local county order, and Ma Wei was the first to report to the official.

But Ma Weixian was not present at the time, and his father returned.

In order not to expand the matter, Hu Hui personally led people to Mafeng Village, hoping that the father of the people's daughter would not report the case to the government.

The father of the folk girl was unwilling, so Ma Hu Hui ordered his subordinates to kill all the eighty-seven people in Mafeng Village!!

Later, he ordered someone to sort out the scene in detail.

That's why, when Zhang Shi arrived, he would see that everything was very clean, except for the absence of people, as if someone had cleaned it.

But what Hu Hui didn't expect was!

After Ma Weixian returned to the county government, he learned from a government official that a villager from Mafeng Village had come and said that there was a case to report.

At this time, it happened that the officials of Jincheng were also there.

In a responsible manner, Ma Weixian came to Mafeng Village with several officials.

It was found that his eighty-seven people were missing, and he suddenly felt that something bad was wrong.

On the eighth day of the first month of last month, he came to Jincheng alone.

When Shi Kailin learned of this, he was furious and was bound to investigate the case thoroughly.

But that night, Hu Hui appeared.

He found Shi Kailin, coerced and lured, and threatened that if he did not suppress the matter and return to the court, he would immediately dismiss him.

Jia He was worried about Shi Kailin and worried that his official position would not be guaranteed, so he persuaded Shi Kailin to turn a blind eye to this matter. When nothing is known.

Shi Kailin agreed.

But he didn't expect that it was this decision that made him step into the abyss.

The day after Shi Kailin agreed, Zhao Weixian disappeared, and according to Jia He, he was ordered by Hu Hui to kill his mouth and buried on a back mountain in Jincheng.

At that time, Shi Kailin panicked, he knew that such an act was a serious crime.

Later, Jia He learned that Zhao Weixian had seen the officials that day, and the officials also knew that Zhao Weixian was going to Mafeng Village first.

With Shi Kailin's acquiescence, Jia He led people and wanted to kill the officials.

However, Shi Kailin couldn't bear it, so he saved the life of the official.

But as a result, even though he brought it back, he still let Hu Hui order someone, smashed his legs, and pulled out his tongue.

When she heard this, Zhao Wenhui, who was present, was already crying.

Liu Qi looked in his eyes and sighed softly.

I have to say that his father did die very unjustly.

The matter has not been investigated clearly, just because this matter is related to the concubine of the dynasty, so he was killed and killed.

Fortunately, Zhao Weixian's family didn't know about it, otherwise, I'm afraid that if it weren't for them, they would all become dead souls.

Holding back the anger in his heart, Liu Qi slowly spoke.

"Shi Kailin, this king also asks you, except for Jia He, don't other officials know about this? Why weren't they disposed of by Hu Juni? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, these people have a good relationship with Jia He, and after the incident, it was Jia He who took them and dealt with them together, so Hu Hui did not do anything to them when they were equivalent to accomplices."

Liu Qi took a deep breath, nodded, and continued to ask.

"Okay, that Ben Wang's troops took the trail and were intercepted by you and his people halfway, and they were also instructed by Hu Hui, right?"

Shi Kailin didn't speak, and nodded heavily.

At this point, the truth has been revealed, and as for some details, just leave them to Zhang Shi.

At this time, I saw Liu Qi clenching his fists with both hands, closing his eyes slightly, and leaning back, as if he had been drained of all the strength in his body.

Under the bright and prosperous Daqing, such a horrific crime could have happened!

If I hadn't insisted on my own opinion, I'm afraid this matter would have been sealed forever.

Maybe, that lovely Zhao Wenhui will also be implicated in this matter because of this.

"Shi Kailin, although the mastermind of this matter is Hu Hui, but you helped Hu Hui cover up the crime and murder the officials, can you admit your guilt?"

Shi Kailin raised his hands and lay on the ground.

"The lower official pleaded guilty!"

"Okay, the king is now sentenced, Shi Kailin's crime is unforgivable, and he is now dismissed from all positions and sent to prison, and his officials, all those who participate in this matter, will be questioned for their crimes, and they will be beheaded at noon tomorrow!"

"Master Shi, do you have anything else to say?"

However, in the face of the prince's sentence, Shi Kailin smiled.

He kowtowed to the prince three times.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

Not only Shi Kailin, but everyone present looked at Liu Qi on the table with a grateful face.

Such a prince is really lenient.

Just the fact that Shi Kailin kidnapped the four princes of the dynasty and guarded Jincheng can already be regarded as a rebellion.

Whether it's him, or the officials under him. This is a great sin of the Nine Clans!

But the prince announced the sentence but they were personal, which can already be said to be an amnesty for Shi Kailin and others.

The other officials who followed Shi Kailin also thanked them one after another, thanking the prince for their kindness.

At this moment, Qin Wei suddenly led people and ran into the hall.

"Your Highness, Jia and the others have all found it, but..."
