Seeing that Li Jue once again denied seeing the jade pendant in public, Liu Shangmin secretly shook his head in his heart, thinking that Li Jue had chosen the most stupid choice.

If it were Yoo Sang-min, he would definitely tell the truth, because this trial is very important, and the verification of the authenticity of the confession is very strong, so any lie may bring disastrous consequences.

It's a pity that Li Jue didn't realize this, and instinctively denied the jade pendant that threatened him, which made him invisibly fall into passivity, and also made the couple unexpectedly avoid a punishment.

Huang Xi's eyes looking at Li Jue were full of regret, although Li Jue was a very smart person, he was too young after all, and his lack of social experience was so bad that he was now in a mess and pushed himself into a more dangerous situation.

Yun Na quietly picked up the hot tea on the side and tasted it slowly, the case was coming to an end at this point, as long as it was proved that the jade pendant was Li Jue's, then Li Jue would never have the possibility of turning over.

"Back to the right minister, the jewelers in the city have already brought it." Not long after, when everyone at the scene was discussing the case in private, an official from the forbidden government led several well-dressed people to Liu Shangmin and said in a loud voice.

After learning the identities of those well-dressed people, Li Jue, who was puzzled by Liu Shangmin's failure to continue the trial, couldn't help but be taken aback, with a panicked look on his face, he finally understood Liu Shangmin's intentions at this time, it turned out that he was waiting for the arrival of these jewelers.

"I've seen the right phase!" The jewelers hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted Liu Shangmin, and they were all uneasy in their hearts, not knowing why Liu Shangmin wanted to pass them in.

"Look at it, you recognize it!" Liu Shangmin asked people to bring the jade pendant to several jewelers, and asked in a deep voice quietly.

Several jewelers then carefully examined the jade pendant and whispered something to each other, they were several big merchants in the jewelry business of the Korean state, and almost all the fine jewelry worn by the Korean dignitaries and nobles came from them.

Li Jue looked at the jewelers who were looking at the jade pendant, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly, vaguely knowing that the situation was not good.

"Right Minister, if the villain remembers correctly, this is the jade pendant that the villain sold to His Royal Highness the Prince a few years ago." Finally, several jewelers finished exchanging opinions, and then a round-faced jeweler shouted to Yoo Sang-min.

"It's nonsense, how can you remember the events of a few years ago so clearly, why do you say that this jade pendant belongs to this world?" Li Jue was shocked when he heard this, knowing that things were going to go bad, so he lowered his face and scolded the round-faced jeweler loudly.

"I ask you, do you have evidence of what you say." Yoo Sang-min glanced at Yoo Sang-min, who had become emotional, and asked the round-faced jeweler quietly.

"I don't know that all the precious jewelry is purchased from Daming, and it is created by Daming's jewelry store, and each Daming jewelry store has its own production style, which can be seen at a glance from the products."

The round-faced jeweler has never experienced such a big battle, although he has rich experience in traveling south and north, but a layer of cold sweat still oozes from his forehead, he reached out to wipe the sweat beads and then opened his mouth to explain to Liu Shangmin, "The pattern on this jade pendant is more special, it is made by a Ming jewelry store that has business dealings with the villain, and the villain is deeply impressed by it because of its high price, and it was sold by His Royal Highness the Prince at that time." ”

"Right Xiang, the villain's shop has a record of selling goods back then, as long as the adult brings the account book to check, and the jewelry merchants in Seoul know about it." As he spoke, the round-faced jeweler looked at the other merchants kneeling beside him.

"Right Prime Minister, the villain did hear that this jade pendant was sold to His Royal Highness the Prince."

"The villain remembers very well that Boss Jin deliberately asked us to show off because he sold the jade pendant to His Royal Highness the Prince at a high price."

"I don't know about you, we people in the jewelry business usually like to get together and exchange news, and the villain remembers that Boss Jin seems to have sold the jade pendant to His Royal Highness the Prince at a price of 1,000 taels of silver."

……

As soon as the round-faced jeweler finished speaking, the jewelers who knelt beside him testified to him that what the round-faced jeweler said was true.

Looking at the jewelers who testified, Li Jue's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he finally understood why Liu Shangmin had to confirm with him three times and twice whether he knew this jade pendant, it turned out that Liu Shangmin had already found a jeweler to track down the source of the jade pendant.

"Come, go and bring his books." Liu Shangmin saw that the round-faced jeweler was very sure about the sale of the jade pendant to Li Jue, so he issued an order in a deep voice, if the sale of the jade pendant was really recorded in the account book, then Li Jue would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River this time.

"Your Royal Highness, can you think about it again, have you seen this jade pendant before?" Then, Liu Shangmin looked at Li Jue again and asked in a deep voice.

"Right Prime Minister, this son is usually busy with official business, how can he pay attention to such trivial matters, even if this son buys this jade pendant, he has long lost his impression." Li Jue became a lot more cautious this time, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth to shirk it, not wanting to be too passive in the matter of the jade pendant.

Liu Shangmin clearly felt the change in Li Jue's attitude, and shook his head helplessly in his heart, it was too late for Li Jue to change his confession at this time.

In fact, the key to this case is not whether Li Jue remembers the jade pendant, but whether the jade pendant belongs to Li Jue, because it involves whether Li Jue met with Li Jue at the hawker couple's house.

"Your Royal Highness, have you ever lost jade pendants and other ornaments recently?" Then, Liu Shangmin looked at Li Jue quietly and asked.

"The ornaments of this son are kept by special servants, and it is not clear whether they have lost this son." Li Jue had already realized the seriousness of the situation, so he said carefully, trying to make his evidence not flawed.

"Your Highness, do you think your servants will steal your ornaments?" Liu Shangmin saw that Li Jue's answer became smarter, so he muttered for a while and then broke the meaning of Li Jue's words.

"This son of the world doesn't know, and the son of the world has never cared about this matter." Li Jue shook his head when he heard this, he had already made up his mind not to answer Liu Shangmin's question directly.

"Someone is coming, a servant who serves by His Royal Highness the Prince." Liu Shangmin had already expected Li Jue to do this, so he shouted an order to the soldiers of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion at the scene.

Soon, under Li Jue's expressionless gaze, several men and women who looked like people were brought up by the soldiers of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, kneeling there and thinking that Liu Shangmin would salute, they were the subordinates who served Li Jue.

"I ask you, have you lost any of His Royal Highness's ornaments?" After the men and women identified themselves, Liu Shangmin asked solemnly.

"Back to the right minister, the villain has carefully checked it, and the ornaments of His Royal Highness the Prince are not lost, and everything is accounted for." Hearing this, a tall and thin man hurriedly spoke, and raised the account book in his hand as he spoke, which recorded the income and expenditure of the ornaments owned by Li Jue.

"Do you know this jade pendant?" When Liu Shangmin heard this, he asked people to show the tall and thin man the jade pendant, and asked quietly.

"Back to the right minister, this jade pendant was bought from a jewelry shop a few years ago by His Royal Highness the Prince." The tall and thin man recognized the jade pendant at a glance and replied without thinking.

"You tell Benxiang, where did this jade pendant go?" Liu Shangmin bowed slightly when he heard this, and asked in a deep voice.

"This villain doesn't know, and when he came back one night, this jade pendant was gone, so the villain crossed it out of the account book and prepared a new jade pendant for His Royal Highness." The thin and tall man replied in an orderly manner, "If you don't believe it, you can read the account book, and when the villain crossed out the jade pendant, there was the seal of Steward Li on it." ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Li Jue was suddenly furious in his heart, and stepped forward and kicked the thin and tall subordinate to the ground, he couldn't have imagined that not only Li Xing betrayed him, but even the subordinates around him joined forces to frame him.

"Say, who asked you to frame this son, if you don't tell the truth, this son will beat you to death!" Li Jue did not let go of the tall and thin servant who fell to the ground, and kicked him hard with his foot, so that the tall and thin servant held his head tightly with both hands, and curled up there motionless, not daring to resist in the slightest.

Seeing this, Liu Shangmin's brows furrowed slightly, and then he waved his hand, and the soldiers from the forbidden mansion rushed forward to stop the emotional Li Jue, lest he commit murder and hurt people in public.

"Right Minister, this person was definitely instructed by someone to frame this son, Right Prime Minister must not spare him, and he must find out the main messenger behind the scenes!" Li Jue shook off the soldiers of the Forbidden Mansion who had set him up, and said angrily to Liu Shangmin, he didn't know who else he could trust now.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, don't be impatient, this minister will find out about this matter." Liu Shangmin can understand Li Jue's mood at this time, he will not feel good if anyone is betrayed by the people around him, he quietly comforted Li Jue, and then asked people to bring the account book in the hands of the thin and tall man.

According to the above record, the jade pendant involved in the case was crossed out before the assassination, and the reason for the cross-out was "consumption", which means that the jade pendant had left Li Jue at that time.

If you compare the time, you will find that the time when the jade pendant disappeared was only one day later than Li Jue and Li Ying met at the hawker couple's house, which undoubtedly confirmed the meeting between Li Jue and Li Ying.

After reading the account book, Liu Shangmin handed it to Li Ji and Huang Xi, and asked the two of them to look at it to confirm that there was indeed a record of the jade pendant in the account book.

Li Ji and Huang Xi checked it and nodded to Liu Shangmin, confirming the authenticity of the jade pendant incident, so that others would have nothing to say.

No one could have imagined that this key account book was actually a fake account carefully forged by Li Yuntian, and as for the thin and tall people, they were naturally bought by Li Yuntian's people, so they framed Li Jue.

"The leader and the left minister, this son was wronged, and this son didn't give the jade pendant to others at all, they joined forces to frame this son." Li Jue couldn't help but be anxious at this time, and hurriedly said to Li Ji and Huang Xi that according to the progress of the trial, he would be more than lucky.

"Your Royal Highness, do you admit to meeting with the Lord of Anping and discussing the assassination?" Liu Shangmin saw that Li Jue was already out of order, so he asked in a deep voice.

"Right Prime Minister, this prince really hasn't done this, this prince is a dignified prince, how can he use such a despicable and obscene way to deal with the prince of Shouyang? This son was wronged, and the mastermind behind it must be the Lord of Shouyang, and once something happens to this son, he will benefit a lot! ”

Li Jue's forehead had unconsciously oozing cold sweat, and he had clearly realized the bad situation at this time, so after stabilizing his mind, he said with an indignant face, except for Li Jue, he really couldn't think of anyone who would harm him.

"Your Royal Highness, do you have any evidence that the Lord of Shouyang was involved in this matter?" Seeing that Li Jue pulled out Li Jue, Liu Shangmin naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, so he said with a cold expression, "After the previous investigation, the prime minister did not find that the Lord of Shouyang was involved in this case. ”

"Anping Dajun is the person of Shouyang Dajun, the reason why he assassinated this prince is definitely under the instruction of Shouyang Dajun, the right minister must find out the truth, and he can't let the mastermind behind the scenes run away.

Li Jue couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, where did he have any evidence, otherwise he would not end up in such an embarrassing end, so he shouted at Liu Shangmin, even if he finished this time, he would drag Shouyang Dajun into the water.

"Your Royal Highness, if you have any accident in the assassination, then the Lord of Shouyang will be the first target to be suspected, now that the Lord Zhong is in Seoul, how could the Lord of Shouyang do such a blatant thing?" Liu Shangmin felt that Li Jue was a little unscrupulous and unreasonable now, so he frowned and asked.

Obviously, Li Jue and Li Yao were both victims of the assassination incident, which made it very unlikely that Li Jue would participate in the planning of the assassination incident, and with Li Jue's IQ, he should not do such a desperate thing in a good situation.

What is especially important is that if it weren't for the fact that Park Sanze used Jin Shan to unexpectedly find Li Yuntian to complain about his grievances, then Li Yao is now the king of Joseon, so when he has the upper hand, Li Yao is full of food and wants to assassinate Li Jue?

It was Li Jue, although Park Sanze tried to prevent the Ming Dynasty from announcing Li Jue as the king, but he also offended Li Yuntian invisibly, considering that Li Jue has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, so the possibility of Li Jue planning the assassination incident is very high.

"He is an out-and-out villain, even the first king dares to kill for the throne, let alone poison the son of this world!" Li Jue heard that Liu Shangmin didn't believe his words, and even defended Li Yao in his words, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "In order to get the throne, he will do everything he can, and he will also hope that the right minister will see it and bring him to justice!" ”
