Chapter 236: Is the Son of Heaven Dead?
The style of the third prince Ji re-investigating the case is very different.
Originally, Li Ji, a son of a family from a family, was involved in the intertwined forces, and anyone who came to investigate had to be cautious, but His Royal Highness King Zhao was a nobleman and didn't pay attention to these messy things at all.
If you're not honest, I'll beat you.
Under this kind of quick knife cutting through the mess, Li Ji soon couldn't hold on.
It's not because he has no backbone, originally he was a son of a family, in order not to implicate the family, he could commit suicide in minutes, but His Royal Highness King Zhao tied Li Ji's family in the capital in front of him.
Li Ji has a lot of wives and concubines, and many heirs, a total of four sons and two daughters, the eldest has just turned eighteen years old, and the youngest one daughter is only four or five years old this year.
The third prince's face was hideous.
"If you don't speak, this king will slaughter them all!"
Li Ji was covered in wounds at this moment, and after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
Where does this seem to be the behavior of a criminal department book, this is clearly a bandit who kidnaps a ticket!
Dajin, is there no royal law?
Li Ji struggled to sit up and hissed, "Your Highness, which national law of the Great Jin Dynasty asked you to try the case like this?" ”
The third prince Ji was expressionless, and directly picked up a knife and stabbed Li Ji's son in the chest and abdomen, this son was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he didn't even scream, so he died.
The rest of the Li family's family members all shrank to the side and trembled, not daring to speak.
"Fuck your mother's law!"
This third prince likes to mess around in the military camp since he was a child, so he learned a lot of dirty words from those Qiu Ba.
He looked at Li Ji fiercely and sneered.
"Do you know what's going on right now? The father of this king, the Holy Son of Heaven of my Great Jin, because you rebellious ministers and thieves are in the palace at this time, and you don't know whether you live or die! ”
"Lao Tzu now, you have confiscated the entire Li family of Zhao County, you don't need any reason, and no one in the court dares to say that this king is not, you evil animal, you dare to mention any national law to this king!"
Ji Zhong stabbed another family member of the Li family to death.
"In Dajin, my Ji family is the law of the country!"
Li Ji's eyelids trembled, and the whole person fell into extreme pain.
No father can watch his children suffer such a catastrophe.
His mouth trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "I didn't know that he was going to rebel, he just asked me if I had a diehard ...... in Yulinwei."
"I don't really know what he's going to do......"
Ji Chong's eyes lit up, grabbed Li Ji's collar, and said coldly: "Who is he?" ”
Li Ji's body trembled, and he glanced up at Ji Chong.
"Your Highness, if I tell him, can you spare my family?"
"I can't."
The third prince's face was indifferent: "Your family is doomed, and no one can save you, but as long as you tell the person who instructed you, this matter may end with you, and it will not involve the Li family of Zhaojun." ”
Li Ji lowered his head in pain.
There is no way, this matter is too big, it has already pierced the sky, and it has reached this point, and there is no way to calm down without a large number of people dying.
"I, I said ......"
Giving up the small family and protecting everyone is the only way out for Li Ji now, otherwise this matter will inevitably be involved in the head of the Li family of Zhao County, in fact, if it were not for the power of the Li family of Zhao County, this big family might have been raided at this time.
"Yes...... Li Yan, the squire of the military department, asked me for the names of Zhou Danian and others, but I really don't know what he used to do and what happened afterwards......"
I knew that it would be the current result, but Li Yan was talking about breaking the sky at the beginning, and it was impossible for Li Ji to cooperate with him.
At this time, the former general of Yubayashi was full of remorse.
"Li Yan..."
The third prince sneered a few times, waved his hand and said, "Put Li Ji's family in the prison of the Criminal Department, and wait for the fate, and the rest of them will be with this king." ”
His Royal Highness King Zhao looked indifferent.
"Go to the military department!"
Several prime ministers have made it clear that whoever is involved in this matter will be arrested, no matter what identity or background, it is always the background of the royal family.
The third prince took a group of officials and rushed from the criminal department to the military department.
After asking the officials of the Ministry of War, he learned that Li Yan, the right attendant, had been ill in the past two days and had not come to work at the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
"Go to Pingnanhou Mansion."
Pingnan Hou Mansion is located in Yongle Fang, very close to the imperial city, only half an hour later, Ji Zhong arrived at the gate of Pingnan Hou Mansion, at this time there is nothing unusual in front of Pingnan Hou Mansion, two huge stone lions are still mighty.
Ji Zhong waved his hand: "Go and call the door." ”
The retainers of the Zhao Wangfu nodded, walked to the door of the Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Zhao, please see Li Yan, the squire of the military department." ”
A moment later, Li Yan, a soldier in regular clothes, walked out of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and accompanied him out by Mrs. Yu, the master mother of the Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Madam Yu took a few steps forward, walked in front of the third prince, and said with some trepidation: "Your Highness, what happened, why is there such a big battle?" ”
The third prince bowed his head slightly to Mrs. Yu, and said: "Mrs. Li, my father was assassinated in Qiulie, I think you also know, I am authorized by Shangshutai today to investigate and handle this case, Li Yan, the servant of the military department of your mansion, is suspected of murdering the holy son of heaven, we will invite him back to the criminal department for questioning." ”
Madam Yu's face was terrified, and she said: "Is Your Highness mistaken, my second uncle has been loyal to the Great Jin Dynasty for so many years, and has also made a lot of contributions on the battlefield, how could he murder the Holy Son of Heaven?" ”
Ji Zhong glanced back at Li Yan and said silently: "Then I have to ask Li Shilang himself." ”
In comparison, Li Yan was much calmer, he squinted his eyes, and said indifferently: "Your Highness, Your Majesty was assassinated, I know that you are sincere for your meritorious service, but as a scholar of the Criminal Department, you must always pay attention to evidence in doing things. ”
In the face of Li Yan, the third prince could not be as unreasonable as he was in the face of Li Ji.
His Royal Highness King Zhao was furious, and said in a low voice: "My father is still lying in Changle Palace, just by being a son of man, this king is qualified to take you!" ”
Li Yan's face was still calm.
"Your Highness wants to take me, where is the evidence?"
Ji Zhong sneered: "The former Yulin Wei Youlang has already confessed to you, it was you who threatened Zhou Danian with Li Ji, and put those assassins into the paddock!" ”
"This king has reason to suspect that those assassins are Li Shilang's pawns!"
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the third prince lightly.
"What about the evidence?"
Ji Zhong said angrily: "Li Ji's confession is not evidence? ”
The soldier, who had fought on the battlefield all his life, put his hands behind his back and smiled indifferently: "Not to mention whether your confession is useless, what can Li Ji's words say?" He was imprisoned for some dirty things before, and he once begged the head of the official, but the official ignored him because of the law of the country, and now after he was tortured by you, he began to bite the official. ”
Li Yan turned his head and looked at the third prince lightly.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, although you have a position as the secretary of the Criminal Department, but your understanding of my Dajin national law is like a child, you go to the Criminal Department and call a random clerk to ask, you ask him if your practice is in accordance with the rules?"
"You go and ask anyone in the Criminal Department, is Li Ji's one-sided words enough to convict this official?"
Ji Zhong was immediately furious when Li Yan said this, and he roared in a low voice: "No matter how clever you are today, unless you rebel in the Pingnan Hou Mansion, you will enter this prison of the Criminal Department no matter what!" ”
Li Yan was still indifferent.
"I, Pingnanhou Mansion, will never rebel, if you want to make trouble unreasonably, this official will go with you."
Li Yan glanced at the third prince lightly, and said with a smile: "This official and his sister-in-law have a few words, there is no problem, right?" ”
His Royal Highness King Zhao's face was indifferent: "Please." ”
Li Yan pulled Mrs. Yu aside and smiled slightly: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I'll go to the Criminal Department with them, you are good at taking care of the family, don't go out these days, and don't ask about anything in the capital." ”
Madam Yu frowned, and said with some worry: "Second uncle...... You're not going to have anything, are you? ”
"Not necessarily."
Li Yan frowned, looked in the direction of the palace, and then slowly spoke: "If that Holy Heavenly Son is safe and sound, I will probably die." ”
"If I can get out of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment unharmed, it will be that the Holy Son of Heaven is about to die."
