Chapter 878 Bending into a Move.

After the guard left, Ye Xing suddenly realized that Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, had to intervene in the case, in addition to protecting the murderer, it was very likely that he also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the people who supported the prince.

A large part of those civil officials have now been arrested as suspects, as long as they are arrested in the prison of Jinyiwei, even if they can get out alive, I am afraid it will be difficult to become officials.

Ye Xing had heard of the torture in Jinyiwei's prison, and now he was faintly worried.

At this time, Di Xiaojie looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Brother Ye, now that Jinyiwei has arrested many people and put them in prison, what should we do now?" ”

Ye Xing pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Enter the palace to see the emperor, but I will go to see you alone, and you will all go back first." ”

Everyone was a little reluctant, but there was no way, so they had to rely on Ye Xing in the end.

But said that after Ye Xing hurriedly came to the palace, he immediately reported what Jinyiwei had done, and said: "Your Majesty, the case is based on evidence, and now Jinyiwei is handling the case, there is no evidence but a little suspicion, and they arrested my Ming Wenchen into prison, which not only does not conform to the rule of law, but also makes my Ming literati chill, and that Ji Gang, there were so many people present at the time, why did he only arrest Wenchen and not military generals, Weichen is very suspicious, Ji Gang is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents. ”

Zhu Di is not a stupid person, after listening to Ye Xing's words, he stood up from the dragon chair angrily, but after he stood up, he was also a little contradictory, Jin Yiwei's handling of cases has always been like this, he has never said anything before, could it be that today because of Ye Xing's words, Jin Yiwei's way of handling cases will be changed?

Jin Yiwei is his own pro-army, and he is somewhat partial, how can this be good?

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came to summon him, saying, "Back to the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi Guard asks Master Ji Gangji to see him!" ”

Ji Gang came to the emperor at this time, which made Ye Xing feel very strange, could it be that he already knew that Ye Xing came to find the emperor, so he came to test the emperor's meaning?

Zhu Di instructed the eunuch to bring Ji Gang in, and after a while, Ji Gang came to Zhu Di very cautiously. ”

Ye Xing and Zhu Di were both surprised when they heard Ji Gang say that he had found the murderer, Zhu Di looked at Ji Gang and asked: "Is Jinyiwei's ability to do things good, the murderer was found so quickly, tell me, who is the murderer?" ”

Ji Gang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, it's Yang Shiqi." ”

Ye Xing heard Ji Gang say that the murderer was Yang Shiqi, and he was even more shocked in his heart, this Yang Shiqi is very famous in history, five dynasties, and more than 40 years of auxiliary government, which is rare in any dynasty, but what surprised Ye Xing was not this, but that Yang Shiqi has always supported the prince Zhu Gaochi, and praised the prince's benevolence in front of the emperor many times, and now he is regarded as a murderer by Ji Gang, then Ji Gang's intentions are self-evident.

Zhu Di was also shocked when he heard that Yang Shiqi was the murderer, he glanced at Ji Gang and asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

A waiter of the Ministry of Rites was regarded as a murderer, how could he do it without evidence, Ji Gang seemed to have been prepared, so when Zhu Di asked, he hurriedly took out a document from his body, handed it to the emperor and said: "Back to the emperor, this is a crime that Yang Shiqi personally admitted, and it has been detained, please take a look at it." ”

Zhu Di took the document and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed Yang Shiqi's charge on it, and explained his motives and how to kill the person very clearly, after Zhu Di read it, he handed the document to Ye Xing, Ye Xing hurriedly took it and looked at it, only to see that it was written that Yang Shiqi killed Li Shicheng because he hated Li Shicheng to join the army like this, so when he was drinking with Li Shicheng, he put the poison in Li Shicheng's wine glass, in addition to these words, there is an obvious handprint.

When Ye Xing handed over the document to Emperor Zhu Di again, Zhu Di looked at Ye Xing and asked, "Ye Aiqing, you also investigated the basis for Li Shicheng's killing, what do you think about this matter now?" ”

Ye Xing had to say that Yang Shiqi could not be the murderer at all, this was very likely that Ji Gang tortured Yang Shiqi, and Yang Shiqi could not bear the torture before he drew the detention, but now everything is Ji Gang's one-sided words, and Ye Xing also feels that things are very difficult to do.

After Zhu Di asked, Ye Xing hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, after reading Yang Shiqi's confession, Weichen has a little doubt, then Yang Shiqi is just a Wenchen who dances and writes ink, how did he get poisoned in the wine like Li Shicheng who joined the army, Li Shicheng should be very alert as a member of the army, a clumsy Wenchen poisoned his wine glass, he may not know?" ”

Seeing Ye Xing like this, Ji Gang suddenly retorted: "How is it impossible, the situation at that time was so chaotic, Yang Shiqi took advantage of Li Shicheng's inattention to release the poison, which makes sense." ”

Ye Xing shook his head: "Lord Ji's words are bad, I'm afraid it doesn't hurt, if it was Li Shicheng who poisoned Yang Shiqi, then this matter makes sense, but Yang Shiqi poisoned Li Shicheng, then it doesn't make sense, I don't think Master Ji can't even see this, right?" ”

This Ye Xing deliberately circumvented Ji Gang on an issue, turning Ji Gang into anger, so he said: "Yang Shiqi has already drawn a charge, is there still a fake?" ”

Yes, Yang Shiqi has already drawn a charge, is this still fake, Zhu Di looked at Ye Xing, a little difficult to do.

However, Ye Xing just smiled slightly, and said: "This is not good, is it true that Yang Shiqi is really the murderer, maybe Yang Shiqi just can't stand the torture in your Jinyiwei prison, so he admitted to killing someone, Master Ji should not be in a hurry to refute first, if you want to prove that Yang Shiqi is not a trick, we can send someone to bring Yang Shiqi to the emperor and let the emperor interrogate him personally, how about it?" ”

Ji Gang's face changed suddenly, and said: "Yang Shiqi has already pleaded guilty, and then bring him to bother the emperor, how can this work......" Before Ji Gang finished speaking, Ye Xing immediately said to the emperor: "The ancient sage Mingjun will never convict a person based on one-sided words, and he will never be afraid of trouble because of the complexity of the case, so Weichen asked the emperor to interrogate Yang Shiqi in person in order to find out the truth." ”

After listening to Ye Xing's words, Zhu Di nodded slightly, Ye Xing comforted himself like this, didn't he think he was a Ming Jun, Zhu Di was naturally happy to hear this, and in addition, he didn't believe that Yang Shiqi would be the murderer, so he nodded and said, "Okay, immediately send someone to Jinyiwei and bring Yang Shiqi to see me." ”
