Chapter 1323: Stubborn Resistance to the End

"Now there are all the human and material evidence, saying, when and where did you get this jade pendant?" After getting the confirmation of Li Ji, Huang Xi and others, Jin Cheng's face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice at the round-faced manservant.

"Big ...... My lord...... Small...... Villain recruits...... Confess. The round-faced manservant didn't expect such a change in things, and he was so confused for a while that he didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly touched his head to Jin Cheng and said, "This jade pendant is ...... It was the villain who picked it up in the house last night...... Picked up. ”

"Where is Fuchu?" Jin Cheng sneered when he heard this, and warned sharply, "This official reminds you that if you lie again, this official will be severely punished." ”

"In ...... Near the back door. The round-faced manservant reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and replied nervously.

"When?" Jin Cheng glared at the round-faced manservant and asked with a grim expression.

Ling ...... In the wee hours of the morning, Gu ...... The exact time is not ...... I don't know. Under Jin Cheng's sharp gaze, the round-faced manservant had lost the ability to resist and stammered.

"Tell me why you went to the back door in the wee hours of the morning?" An imperceptible smile flashed across the corners of Jin Cheng's mouth, and he continued to put pressure on the round-faced manlet.

"Lord Jin, he is a servant of this Dajun's family, and he has the responsibility of taking care of the house, why not go to inspect the backyard in the early hours of the morning?" This is, Li Yao, who has already figured out the cause and effect of the matter, can't hold it anymore, otherwise the round-faced manservant will confess under Jin Cheng's interrogation, so he said coldly, wanting to stop the round-faced manservant from answering.

"Shouyang Maharaja, please respect yourself when this official tries the case, otherwise this official will be punished for the crime of disturbing the public court!" Hearing this, Jin Cheng looked at Li Jin, who was glaring at him viciously, and warned with an expressionless face that the authority of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion could not be challenged, even if Li Jin was the prince of the Joseon Kingdom.

"How could that jade pendant run to this king's house for no reason, someone must have set a trap to frame this king, if you dare to confuse black and white, this king will definitely not give up!" Seeing Jin Cheng's cold expression, Li Jian knew that he was not scaring himself, so he gritted his teeth and said.

"Humph!" Jin Cheng snorted disdainfully when he heard this, and then looked at the round-faced manservant, "Say, why did you go to the back door in the early hours of the morning?" ”

"As the Lord of Shouyang said before, that jade pendant will not appear in that place for no reason, you are too greedy, not only picked it up but also wanted to swallow it privately, so that you fell into the current situation!"

As he spoke, Jin Chengyu turned around and said with a serious expression, "Actually, you should know that we all know what happened last night, if you are obsessed, you will fall into a catastrophe, can you afford to kill His Royal Highness?" ”

"Lord Wang, Lord Jin is coercing the servants of the lower officials, please be the master of the matter and give the lower officials justice." Li Jin's face changed a few times when he heard this, and he knew that he could no longer disturb Jin Cheng's trial, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Yuntian, who was sitting there sipping tea.

"This king gives you a chance to tell the truth what you know, and no matter what you say, this king will not let people ask you a second time."

Li Yuntian knew that Li Yao was now in the final struggle, so after taking a sip of the fragrant tea in the teacup, he said to the round-faced manservant, "But you have to remember that what you say will determine your future fate, and how to answer it is up to you to weigh it yourself." ”

The round-faced manservant was stunned when he heard this, the sweat on his face kept flowing down, and Li Yuntian's words made him bear huge psychological pressure.

Obviously, Li Yuntian, as the prince of the Ming Dynasty, would definitely speak his word, as long as he gave an answer, Jin Cheng would never ask him a second time, and this would become the final answer for him to stay in the Forbidden Mansion.

"The prince asks you something, answer quickly!" Jin Cheng saw that the round-faced manservant's eyes froze there a little dazedly, so he raised his voice and shouted, "Do you want the prince to wait for you!" ”

"Lord Wang, the villain is guilty, the villain is guilty!" Frightened by Jin Cheng like this, the round-faced manservant couldn't help but shiver, and looked up at Li Yuntianhou, who was looking at him with a teacup, and kowtowed:

"Last night, the villain was on duty in the backyard, knocking on the door in the morning, the villain and his companions went to check, and found that the person who came was the government to check Cui Li, and when the villain sent away Lord Cui, he found that there was this jade pendant on the road, because the word 'Cui' was engraved on it, and I thought it was Lord Cui who fell, anyway, he wanted to escape from the city, so the villain had the courage to give it down."

With a bang, there was an uproar at the scene, no wonder Cui Li disappeared last night, it turned out that he escaped from the city at night.

Li Yao's face was blue and white for a while, he wanted to angrily reprimand the round-faced manservant for lying, but when he noticed Jin Cheng staring at him deadly, he reluctantly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, if he opened his mouth now, Jin Cheng would definitely teach him a lesson in the name of disrupting the case, he couldn't give Jin Cheng this handle.

Huang Xi shook his head gloomily, looking at Li Yao's gaze was extremely complicated, although he knew that it was Li Yao who killed the king of Joseon, but he never expected that he would be defeated so completely in front of Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian didn't even have the intention of fighting him, but just let Jin Cheng come to try the case after saying a few words.

In this way, Li Yuntian not only showed superb resourcefulness, but also took into account the face of the North Korean officials and people at the scene, and the fact that Kim Cheng tried the case undoubtedly made it easier for them to accept it psychologically.

In Huang Xi's opinion, Li Yao simply didn't have the slightest power to fight back in front of Li Yuntian, and since Li Yuntian knew about Cui Li's affairs since years ago, he has been withholding until now, and no one has noticed anything unusual during this period, this patience and courage are not something ordinary people can do.

It was only at this moment that Huang Xi discovered why Li Yuntian was able to sit on the throne of Prince Daming, although he had been on the throne of the left prime minister of the Korean state for decades, but Li Yuntian's scheming was not something they could speculate about, and the two were not in the same order of magnitude at all.

Not only Hwang Hee, but also high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Korean state, including Ri Ji, Yoo Sang-min, and Kim Jong-rui, were completely shocked by today's court trial.

In fact, it is not so much a court trial, but a trial of Li Ji's crimes, because Li Yuntian has completed the layout of Li Ji's crimes, which makes Li Ji's resistance look so pale and powerless, and everyone at the scene has already determined from the existing criminal evidence that Li Ji is the mastermind behind the murder of the king of Joseon.

In other words, Li Yao is finished this time, no one can save him, and killing the king of Joseon is a big crime that is beheaded by all the people, even if Li Yao is the prince of Joseon, he is not spared.

"How did you know Cui Li was going to escape?" In the commotion of the people at the scene, Jin Cheng stared at the round-faced manservant expressionlessly and asked.

"At first, the villain just thought that Master Cui was more strange when he came, but later when the villain sent him away, he heard him and his entourage whispering about going out of the city, presumably committing some crime, so he knew that he was going to escape from the city." The round-faced manservant didn't dare to hide it, and answered honestly.

"Then why didn't you tell the truth before?" Jin Cheng bowed slightly in satisfaction when he heard this, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Because ......" The round-faced manservant couldn't help but look at Li Yao, who was pale, and then lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Say!" Jin Cheng knew that the round-faced manservant was afraid of Li Jin, after all, the round-faced manservant was Li Jin's subordinate, and he was psychologically afraid of Li Jin, so he raised his voice and shouted.

"Because the king told the villain and others not to leak the things that Lord Cui had visited, otherwise they would be severely punished." The round-faced manservant couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, raised his head and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said to Jin Cheng, "In addition, the prince also gave a lot of reward to the little ones, saying that if the little ones had an accident, he would take care of the little ones' families." ”

The officials and people at the scene couldn't help but stir up again when they heard this, it was obvious that Li Yao and Cui Li had an ulterior secret before, otherwise Cui Li would never have seen Li Jin before he fled, and Li Yao would not let his subordinates help him hide it.

Li Yuntian glanced at Li Jin, whose face was a little green, and put the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, now that the overall situation has been decided, Li Jin will not be able to get rid of the intimate relationship between him and Cui Li.

"What do you say?" Jin Cheng was very satisfied with the round-faced manservant's answer, his eyes fell on the rest of the Li family members kneeling there, and asked coldly.

"Back to my lord, the villains did see Lord Cui last night, he stayed in the house with Dajun for a while and left, as for what he said and where he went, the villains really don't know."

The subordinates glanced at each other, and then an elderly servant looked up at Jin Cheng and said, "The Maharaja gave us a sum of money to keep it secret, and we have to comply, and we have put away the money that the Maharaja gave us, and we are willing to hand it over." ”

At this point, the people on the scene have realized that Li Yao is done this time, so those subordinates of the Li family have begun to leave a way back for themselves, many of them are just doing things in Li Yao's mansion for their livelihood, and there is no need to pay for their own lives and those of their families.

The round-faced manservant was the first domino, and as his psychological defense line collapsed, those subordinates in Li Jin's mansion would follow to confess.

"Shouyang Dajun, what do you have to say?" Seeing that those subordinates admitted that Cui Li went to find Li Jin last night, and also showed that Li Jin used money to buy them, Jin Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he lived up to his mission and finally successfully completed the task assigned by Li Yuntian, and then looked at Li Jin coldly, Li Yao's previous lies were ruthlessly exposed.

"Lord Wang, Xia Guan admitted that he saw Cui Jian Shen last night, he came to borrow money from Xia Guan, saying that he wanted to buy the property, Xia Guan usually admires him very much, so although he thought it was strange, he still lent him the money."

Li Yao knew that he couldn't deny that he had seen Cui Li last night, so after thinking about it for a while, he bowed to Li Yuntian and said, "The lower officials thought that Cui Jian came late at night and didn't want people to know, so he warned those servants, and he didn't know that he was going to escape, and I hope the prince will find out!" ”

"Shouyang Dajun, haven't you pleaded guilty until now?" Li Yuntian didn't mean to reply, just looked at Li Jin coldly, Jin Cheng frowned when he saw this, and then asked, I didn't expect it to come to this point Li Jin was still holding on.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are really remorseful for not paying attention to their friends for a while, and I hope the prince will punish him!" Li Yao gritted his teeth, bowed to Li Yuntian and said, he decided not to admit to death and put the blame on Cui Li, anyway, Cui Li has run away now, and it is difficult for the Ming army and the people of the Forbidden Mansion to find Cui Li for a while.

"Lord Shouyang, this king is very disappointed in you, since you don't give up if you don't go to the Yellow River, then this king will fulfill you this time!" Li Yuntian stared at Li Cheng for a while, shook his head, and then said in a deep voice to Jin Cheng, "Lord Jin, you can start." ”

"The subordinate obeys." Hearing this, Jin Cheng bowed to Li Yuntian, then waved his hand at the official of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion who was standing on the side, and shouted expressionlessly, "Go, bring him up!" ”
