Chapter 1240: Night Detective Edict
"He, do you know who I am?" Waiting for the two guards to remove the shackles from He's body, Li Yuntian looked at He's suspicious expression and asked in a deep voice.
"The prisoner doesn't know, please let me know." He Shi glanced up and down at the gentle and elegant man in front of him, and then shook his head, secretly feeling strange in his heart, not knowing who wanted to interrogate him this time.
"This is Lord Zhong." Yun Na, who was standing beside Li Yuntian, first introduced Li Yuntian to the He family in a coquettish voice, and then said with a serious expression, "He family, the emperor has ordered the prince to try your case with the celebrant and the three law divisions, do you have something to say to the prince." ”
"Loyalty...... Loyal to the prince! He's body suddenly froze there, looking at Li Yuntian dumbfounded, never imagined that the prestigious Li Yuntian would appear here, and he would have to preside over his own case.
"Lord, the guilty woman was wronged, the criminal woman did not poison her husband, please make a clear decision." Soon, He Shi recovered from the shock and couldn't help but cry loudly, kowtowing to Li Yuntian while crying.
Li Yuntian silently looked at the He family who was crying there, and was very sympathetic to He's experience, knowing that she must have suffered a lot these days.
Yun Na was just about to stop He's crying, Li Yuntian waved his hand at her, He's crying now will feel much better, and his mood will become calmer.
"The prince forgives the sin, the guilty woman was rude just now." After crying for a while, He Shi, who had vented his grievances and resentment in his heart, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, knelt there and pleaded with his head to Li Yuntian to plead guilty.
"He Clan, this king asks you, since you said that you were wronged, then you tell this king why the Yue clan framed you and put you to death!" Li Yuntian pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said quietly, "Don't tell this king that the Yue family wants to seize the family property, this king has understood, even if the Zhao family's family property is in the hands of the Yue family after your death." ”
"Lord Wang, the prisoner is suspicious...... Suspect that the Yue clan is stealing people in front of him. He knew that Li Yuntian was not as easy to fool as other officials, so after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and explained the reason, "Yue wanted the prisoner to issue a document to agree to her remarriage on the grounds that she was young and couldn't bear the loneliness, but the prisoner didn't want her to be widowed at a young age, so he promised her to allow her to marry after the three-year filial piety period expired, but she couldn't wait, so she framed the prisoner." ”
"In that case, why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Yuntian had long expected that the He family would know a little bit of the inside story, and stared at the He family with a serious expression when he heard the words, if the He family poked out this hidden secret, it would be of great benefit to her.
"Lord Wang, the prisoner just suspects that there is no real evidence, and what she says rashly will only make outsiders see the jokes of our Zhao Mansion, so the prisoner didn't tell anyone." Yue's face showed a trace of helplessness and gloom, "The prisoner once had people follow Yue's in private, but then she slipped away after she became alert, so she had to bury this matter in her heart. ”
"Are you worried that the Yue family's stealing will lose the Zhao family's people after it is made public, so you don't agree to open the coffin for an autopsy?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, so that he could explain why the He family didn't mention the Yue family's stealing in court, and it would be the Zhao family who would be embarrassed at that time, and she was not sure that the government could find the adulterer, so she simply concealed it.
"The husband of the prisoner has been in the earth for many days, and the prisoner does not want to disturb his purity." Yue nodded and said with a sad face, "The prisoner wanted to give Yue a chance to repent, but she didn't expect her to go her own way. ”
"Did the Yue clan mention the adulterer?" Li Yuntian knew the bitterness in Yue's heart, shook his head helplessly and asked, the top priority now is to find the adulterer, only in this way can the He family be exonerated.
"The prisoner only knew that the adulterer was very powerful, and the prisoner had no chance to speak when she was interrogated in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and when she entered the imperial prison, she was tortured to extract a confession." Hearing this, the He clan recalled carefully, then shook his head at Li Yuntian, and said with a sad and indignant face, "Otherwise, how dare the Yue clan do such a thing that is inferior to a pig and a dog." ”
Li Yuntian's eyes flashed with a look of pity when he heard this, and the He family would definitely not have thought that she had been involved in a wrestling between the two camps of the court, the inner court and the civil official group, and had become a pitiful flag.
"Tell this king, have you or your family ever bribed Xue Xuan, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple?" Li Yuntian didn't want to dwell too much on the affairs of the Yue family, and then Yu Feng turned around and asked.
In fact, Jin Yiwei's purpose of wanting to put the He family to death was for Xue Xuan, so Li Yuntian wanted to make sure that the Zhao family was enough for someone to bribe Xue Xuan because of the He family's affairs.
"Lord Wang, if it weren't for the mention of the people in the yamen, the prisoner wouldn't know that Lord Xue was Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Hearing this, He Shi hurriedly waved his hand, his face was full of helplessness, "Lord Wang, where does Lord Xue have the opportunity to come into contact with the prisoner woman in a high position, even if he wants to bribe someone to relieve the prisoner's wife, it must be someone under Dali Temple." ”
"If you wear these shackles for a few days, this king will definitely give you justice." Li Yuntian thought that He Shi was not lying, nodded and said in a deep voice, since He Shi has not been formally interrogated yet, He Shi is still guilty, and handcuffs and leg irons are inevitable.
Of course, Li Yuntian could let He Shi not wear handcuffs and leg irons, but he couldn't do this, otherwise he would definitely provoke criticism from the outside world, and he didn't want to cause these little troubles.
The reason why Li Yuntian Rui Naiwei He is telling the truth is because the fact that He bribed Xue Xuan is very absurd in itself, you must know that Xue Xuan ranks second in Dali Temple and is the official of Dali Temple, with He's status, he can't reach Xue Xuan at all, even if he wants to bribe, there is no way.
Not to mention that Xue Xuan has always been honest and upright, how could he accept bribes from the He family?
He left with a thousand thanks, and when she left, her heart was full of joy, her eyes were full of hope, in her opinion, Li Yuntian's trial of her case would definitely give her justice.
"Lord Wang, the He family's nails have been pulled out, and the people here are simply too ruthless." After the He clan left, Yun Na couldn't help but say to Li Yuntian, her eyes full of anger.
Not only did He have scars on his face, but his ten fingers were wrapped in gauze, and Yun Na knew that He's nails must have been pulled out, and she couldn't help but be extremely indignant at the evil deeds of the jailer.
It is conceivable that He's body must have been scarred in his clothes, which made Yun Na feel indignant.
"This is an edict, and it's good to be alive until now." Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile slightly when he heard this, in his impression, Yun Na was not such a sentimental woman, it seemed that her life over the years had a great impact on Yun Na.
"Bring the Yue clan." Subsequently, Li Yuntian said to Yun Na that the purpose of his visit to the edict this time was to meet the He family and the Yue family, especially the Yue family, and the identity of the adulterer might be found out from her.
Yun Na had already realized that she was a little out of shape at this time, and a trace of embarrassment couldn't help but appear on her face, and she bowed to Li Yuntian and left.
Soon, Yue, who was dressed in a white prison uniform, was brought in by Yun Na, with a slender posture and beautiful appearance, especially a slender waist, and a graceful willow swinging in the wind when he walked, which made people's eyes shine.
Compared with the He family, who looked haggard and had a scarred face, the Yue family was white and pure and did not look like he had been tortured at all.
"The people's woman Yue knocked to see the prince." After seeing Li Yuntian, Yue's eyes showed a nervous look, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground to salute Li Yuntian.
"Yue's family, this king asks you, Commander Zhao Tongzhi was really poisoned by the He family? Can you see it with your own eyes? Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, and then asked in a deep voice.
"Lord Wang, although the woman has not seen this with her own eyes, how could my lord die violently in the prime of life?" Yue stabilized his mind and looked at Li Yuntian with a sad face, "The woman was suspicious at that time, so she secretly looked at the corpse of the old man, and found that his lips were purple and there was blood in his seven orifices, what is this not poisoning?" ”
"In that case, why did it take two years for you to remember to report it?" Li Yuntian looked at the Yue family quietly, and asked lightly, I have to say that the Yue family looked pitiful at this time, which made people can't help but have an urge to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
However, Yue's hand is useless to Li Yuntian, it's not that Li Yuntian doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but the women Li Yuntian met have all the flowers and moons, and they are more tender than the Yue family, so the Yue family can't charm him.
"Lord Wang, the folk woman is just a small weak woman, and the power of the family is controlled by the He family, and under her obscenity, the folk woman dares to be angry and dare not speak, so she can only live hard."
Hearing this, Yue couldn't help but sigh faintly, and looked at Li Yuntian with a sad expression, "Lord Wang, in the past two years, the women have often been unable to sleep at night, and they have been tortured by their conscience, and it is really difficult to endure it anymore, so they have reported to the official, and the women have nothing else to ask for, but hope that the poisonous woman who poisoned her husband can be brought to justice." ”
"Yue, have you ever been to Embroidery Village?" Li Yuntian saw Yue's weak and sad appearance, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he stared at her expressionlessly and asked.
"Lord Yu, after my lord left, the life of the women became more and more difficult, so I wanted to learn some crafts to support myself, so I went to an embroidery village to learn art."
Yue's eyes showed a look of horror when he heard this, and then he regained his composure and said in an orderly manner, "Who would have thought that the embroidery village was actually a place where dirt and dirt were hidden, and the owner of the embroidery village actually ran a leather and meat business in order to make a profit, and the women never went there after they found out. ”
Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, from Yue's calm response, Li Yuntian knew that someone must have reported to her, otherwise how could Yue's recognize himself as King Zhong at a glance, you must know that the He family didn't know anything about his identity, and the people who went to interrogate him did not reveal that he was here, not to mention that Yue's also took the initiative to mention that there were secret prostitutes in the embroidery village.
Obviously, Yue's adulterer or Wang Zhen sent someone to leak the news to Yue's in advance, so that Yue's was prepared, and now he can't determine the identity of the person who leaked the news to Yue's.
"Yue's family, as far as this king knows, you have a private meeting with someone in the embroidery village, I don't know if this is true?" After pondering for a while, Li Yuntian asked in a deep voice, looking at the Yue clan with a serious expression.
"Lord, the women have been abiding by the women's way since they got married, and they have never done that kind of insulting thing, I don't know who is creating the rumors of the people's women, I hope the prince will see that the women will be innocent." Hearing this, Yue's emotions immediately became excited, and he raised his voice and said, looking indignant.
"Do you know this waist card? It is said to belong to the man with whom you have a private relationship. ”
Although Yue's acting was very similar, Li Yuntian still keenly saw the unconcealable nervousness and panic in her eyes, he expected that Yue's would deny it, so he didn't care about her, nodded to Yunna and said to Yue.
Yun Na took the waist card of the captain of the brocade guard from the guard on the side, and came to show her in front of Yue.
"Lord Wang, this is the first time that the woman has seen Jinyiwei's waist card, she has never seen it before, and she has never had a private meeting with anyone." Yue Shi glanced at the waist card and shook his head at Li Yuntian, and said solemnly.
"Yue's family, to tell you the truth, with this waist card, this king can find his master, this king already has a number of witnesses in his hand, and when tomorrow this king invites the holy decree to send the people of Jinyiwei, then everything will be revealed!" Li Yuntian pondered for a moment when he heard this, then looked at the Yue clan and said, "You think about it tonight, how to answer this king in the hall tomorrow." ”
Saying that, Li Yuntian got up and strode away, leaving only the panicked Yue Shi kneeling on the ground in a daze, his face pale, listening to Li Yuntian's tone, it seemed that she had suspected that she was having an affair with Jinyiwei's people, and she felt a chill down her spine when she thought of Li Yuntian's prestige in judging the case.
"Send someone to guard the prison." When he walked out of the door, Li Yuntian said in a deep voice to Yun Na, who was following behind, "Don't let people get close to the Yue family and the He family. ”
"My subordinates understand." Yun Na smiled slightly when she heard this, bowed down and answered, it seemed that Li Yuntian had finally started to fight back.
Ma Shun and others were guarding outside the gate of the edict prison, Li Yuntian came out and bowed down and sent Li Yuntian out of Beizhen Fusi, although Li Yuntian asked him to go busy with his own affairs, how could he really do it, so he honestly waited outside the gate.
"My lord, the prince sent someone to guard the edict prison." After Li Yuntian's carriage disappeared into the night curtain on the street, Zhao Cheng hurried over and reported to Ma Shunyu in a low voice.
"Quickly send someone to inform the deputy chief manager of this news." Ma Shun's brows furrowed slightly, and he gave an order expressionlessly, and the deputy chief in his mouth naturally referred to Wang Zhen.
The arrest of Xue Xuan, He Shi and others was Wang Zhen's instruction, so Ma Shun naturally wanted to tell Wang Zhen about Li Yuntian's coming to Beizhen Fusi for the first time, so that Wang Zhen could be prepared.
"My lord, what should we do in the edict prison, it's not convenient for the prince's people to do anything here." Zhao Cheng first bowed to Ma Shun and took the task, and then said helplessly.
"The prince has already paid attention to the edicts, if we do anything more, wouldn't it be looking for death!" Ma Shun glared at Zhao Cheng, got up and walked back to Beizhen Fusi, this guy is simply a pig's brain, does he want to provoke Li Yuntian at this time? Isn't this self-seeking death?
Zhao Cheng followed behind Ma Shun with a smile, secretly praying in his heart that this turmoil would pass safely as soon as possible.
