Chapter 1321: Stubborn Resistance

"Shouyang Lord, this king has been giving you another chance, but it's a pity that you are lucky and obsessed!" Seeing Li Yao's posture of stubbornly resisting to the end, Li Yuntian couldn't help but shake his head and said with disappointment.

"Lord Wang, the lower official admits that it was a dereliction of duty for the lower official not to rescue His Royal Highness the Lord back then, but the killing of His Royal Highness really has nothing to do with the lower officials, I hope the prince will find out."

Now Li Yao no longer dares to hope to inherit the throne of the king of Joseon, and the top priority is to get rid of the suspicion of killing the king of Joseon, so he gritted his teeth, solemnly bowed to Li Yuntian and said, deciding to hold on to the end.

Seeing this situation, the people at the scene couldn't help but feel a commotion, although Li Yuntian did not show the evidence that Li Yao was the person who killed the king of Joseon, but after the previous scene of Li Yao and Yin's panic, everyone had already determined that Li Yao had done this matter.

Huang Xi shook his head gloomily, and then looked at Li Yuntian who was sitting there with a serious expression, his heart was full of awe, who would have thought that Li Yuntian would decide Li Jin's fate in just a few words, no one expected such a bizarre thing to happen before.

"Shouyang Lord, it seems that you are not immortal if you don't have the heart of the Yellow River, since this is the case, then this king will let you die clearly, and let the truth of the death of the king of Korea be revealed to the world." Li Yuntian stared at Li Yao, whose face was pale, for a while, and then said loudly.

"Someone, take the criminal." As he spoke, Li Yuntian gave a deep order to a military attache of the Xiaowu Army standing in front of him.

Hearing the word "criminal", puzzled looks appeared on the faces of everyone at the scene, not knowing who Li Yuntian was going to bring this time.

Soon, under the expectation of everyone, a middle-aged man in civilian clothes was brought up by several soldiers of the Xiaowu Army.

Many people at the scene didn't know the man in casual clothes, and they whispered to each other about each other's origins, and Li Yao obviously recognized the other party, and his face became difficult to look at again.

In addition to Li Jin, Jin Zongrui and Cui Yande in the crowd also knew the identity of the man in civilian clothes, and subconsciously glanced at each other, a look of surprise appeared on their faces, they never imagined that Li Yuntian would find this person.

"See the prince for his humble duties!" After coming to Li Yuntian's face, the man in civilian clothes bowed his hand to Li Yuntian and bowed.

It was only then that those present knew that the man in civilian clothes was also an official of the Korean state, but not many people had seen him.

"Tell everyone, who are you?" Li Yuntian glanced at the scene with a surprised look, and asked the man in civilian clothes quietly.

"Hui Wangye, the lowly Jin Kui, is a general under General Pu Hui." The man in plain clothes didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly reported to his home.

As Jin Kui's words fell, the people at the scene showed surprised looks, not expecting that he would be Pu Hui's general.

"Jin Kui, this king asks you, in the file of Bing Cao, you have died with General Park, why do you want to hide your life and death!" Li Yuntian waved his hand, and a military attache of the Xiaowu Army took a dossier, Li Yuntian turned to one of the pages and looked at Jin Kui quietly and asked.

It turned out that when Park Hui died in battle, Jin Kui also died with him, but he didn't have as much face as Park Hui, and his body was buried on the spot.

"Bing Cao's judgment, I wonder if this is recorded in this file?" Without waiting for Jin Kui to reply, Li Yuntian turned his head to look at Li Wei, the soldier who was sitting on the side.

"Back to the prince, it is indeed recorded in the case file, and the lower official remembers very well that General Jin's bereavement pension was personally approved by the lower official." Hearing this, Li Wei hurriedly stood up and bowed to Li Yuntian in reply.

"General Jin and General Cui, do you recognize this person?" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and then asked Jin Zongrui and Cui Yunde, who were very familiar with the generals of the court.

"Back to the prince, this person is indeed a general under General Park." Jin Zongrui and Cui Yande immediately stood up when they heard this, and after the two looked at each other and exchanged opinions, Jin Zongrui bowed and replied.

The reason why Jin Zongrui came to answer was because Jin Zongrui concurrently served as the right supporter of the parliamentary government, so his status in the officialdom was half a grade higher than Cui Yunde, so it was natural for him to answer Li Yuntian's question.

"Lord Wang, it is a last resort to do this, if you don't fake your death, you will be killed like General Park." After getting the confirmation of Zong Rui and Cui Yande this year, Li Yuntian looked at Jin Kui, Jin Kui's face showed a gloomy look, and he replied with a wry smile.

"General Park was killed?" There was a commotion at the scene, and the news that Jin Kui said was too shocking, you must know that Pu Kui's funeral was extremely grand, and it caused a sensation in the entire Seoul, from the dignitaries and nobles to the peddlers and pawns.

But now Jin Kui actually said that Pu Hui was killed, which really caused an uproar among everyone, and people looked at Jin Kui in shock, wondering who wanted to kill Pu Hui.

Li Yao's fists were clenched tightly, and he glared at Jin Kui viciously, before this he thought that Jin Kui was dead, but he didn't expect that this guy and Zhao Shanggong came to escape with a golden cicada shell, so that now it has caused him so much trouble.

"Who wanted to kill General Park?" Li Yuntian glanced at Li Jin, who was staring directly at Jin Kui, and asked slowly, now that Li Jin is already a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board, he is ready to break Li Yao's psychological defense step by step and make his crime of killing the king of Joseon public.

"Back to the prince, it's the Lord of Shouyang!" Jin Kui stretched out his hand to look at Li Jin, who was looking at him, raised his voice and said loudly.

Boom, although everyone at the scene had been prepared, but after hearing Jin Kui's testimony, it still caused a commotion, after all, Jin Kui's identity is special, so his testimony can be trusted by everyone.

"It's nonsense, why did this prince kill General Park, he is the hero of the extermination of the rebels!" Li Yao was immediately furious when he heard this, and yelled at Jin Kui angrily, then turned to Li Yuntian and bowed down and said, "The prince is aware that he is slandering the lower officials!" ”

"Lord, what he said is true, General Park is loyal to the Lord of Shouyang, and he did not hesitate to lead the army to attack Gyeongbokgung Palace and kill His Royal Highness the Lord for him, but he regarded us as a potential danger and deliberately transferred us to the battlefield for attrition, so that the brothers were on the battlefield in vain."

Jin Kui's emotions suddenly became excited when he heard this, and he said after bowing his hand to Li Yuntian, "The night General Park died, he was nearby, and he witnessed the Shouyang Maharaja's people enter the military tent and kill the injured General Park, and claimed that he died of injuries and died in battle. ”

"Who killed the king of Joseon?" An imperceptible smile flashed at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he stared at Jin Kui with a solemn expression and asked.

"Back to the prince, under the instruction of the Lord Shouyang, General Park sent His Royal Highness on the way." Jin Kui bent his legs as he spoke, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said to Li Yuntian with his head on the ground, "Lord Wang, I know that I am guilty of my own duties, please punish the prince!" ”

"Nonsense, nonsense!" When Li Yao heard this, he immediately knelt down to Li Yuntian, and said excitedly, "Lord Wang, someone must have framed this monarch, I hope that the prince will be the master of this monarch!" ”

"Shouyang Lord, this king is very disappointed in you, he used Li Daitao's strategy to hide in the people for several years, is it just to frame you now?" Li Yuntian looked at Li Yao, whose face was flushed, and said with a frown, "Do you think this kind of thing is possible?" ”

"Lord Wang, the lower officials really didn't kill His Royal Highness, they framed the lower officials." A large amount of cold sweat oozed from Li Yao's forehead, and he wiped the beads of sweat rolling off his face with his sleeve and said to Li Yuntian, ready to carry it to the end.

Seeing this situation, the officials and people present couldn't help but be in an uproar, both Zhao Shanggong and Jin Kui pointed out that Li Yao was the murderer behind the murder of the king of Joseon, coupled with the previous abnormal behavior of Li Yao and Yin, people have already found him guilty.

"Since this is the case, then this king will convince you, lest you say that you have been wronged!" Li Yuntian sneered and looked at Jin Cheng who was sitting on the side, "Lord Jin, tell everyone what you know." ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Jin Cheng hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Yuntian with a respectful expression.

Li Ji, Huang Xi and others couldn't help but look at Jin Cheng in surprise, they never thought that Jin Cheng would also be involved in this case, they didn't know anything about it before.

"Shouyang Dajun, did you have an uninvited guest in your house last night!" Subsequently, under the surprised gaze of everyone, Jin Cheng asked Li Jin in a loud voice, and Li Yuntian, the supreme governor of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, secretly asked him to assist in the investigation of the case, so that the result of the case was more acceptable to the upper and lower levels of the Korean state.

"I don't know what you mean!" A look of shock suddenly appeared on Li Yao's face, he naturally knew that the uninvited guest Jin Cheng said was Cui Li, knowing that Cui Li was targeted by someone last night, he felt that something was wrong in his heart, and then stabilized his mind and replied calmly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official was assigned by the prince to control the government to check Cui Li's whereabouts, and last night Cui Li secretly went to the Shouyang Dajun's Mansion before he disappeared, entered the courtyard through the back door, and came out after staying in it for a quarter of an hour."

Jin Cheng had long known that Li Yao would deny it, so he looked up at the crowd at the scene and said, "The prince already knew from the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace that Cui Li was also at the scene when His Royal Highness was killed, so he let the official control Cui Li's whereabouts, the two fires a few days ago were planned by Cui Li, and during that time, Cui Li went to the palace of the Shouyang Lord, presumably the Shouyang Maharaja of the fire house is also inseparable!" ”

"Nonsense, this prince never knew about arson, you are a member of the prince, do you want to announce a personal vendetta to slander this prince!" Li Yao couldn't take care of it much at this time, and looked at Jin Cheng with a somewhat hideous expression.

Only now did he realize that Li Yuntian had been eyeing him for a long time, and deliberately set a trap for him to let Cui Li send someone to set fire, I am afraid that the news that the survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace were found was deliberately released by Li Yuntian, and as a result, he was a thief with a weak heart, and unfortunately fell into Li Yuntian's tricks, so that he ended up like this.

Now the only hope that Li Jin has is that Cui Li, who knows his many details, can successfully escape from Seoul, or die in battle with the pursuers, so that he will have one less of the biggest threats.
