"Lord Wang, Xia Guan remembered that the Lord of Shouyang was not alone in Gyeongbokgung Palace at that time, and there was another person who followed him, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very close."

Under the intently gaze of everyone at the scene, Zhao Shanggong remembered something, and said to Li Yuntian with a regretful face, "It's a pity that Xiaguan was too far away at that time and couldn't see his appearance clearly for a while. ”

"And one more?" Hearing this, the people in the compound of the Forbidden Mansion couldn't help but look at each other, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces, and they all wanted to know who the person who was with Li Yao was.

"Zhao Shanggong, think about it again, who is that person?" Li Yuntian looked at Zhao Shanggong quietly and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the prince, the situation was chaotic at that time, and the officials didn't see the other party clearly." Zhao Shanggong recalled carefully, and finally shook her head helplessly at Li Yuntian, she knew that this matter was very important, so she didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Everyone at the scene couldn't help but show a look of disappointment when they heard this, thinking that there would be further progress in the case, but the clue was still broken.

Li Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, Zhao Shanggong didn't see Cui Li's appearance clearly at that time, otherwise things would have become troublesome, if Cui Li was exposed, it would be equivalent to giving the outside world more handles.

The reason why Li Jin wanted to enter Gyeongbokgung Palace with Park Hui's rebels was because he was worried that Park Hui's rebels would make a mistake in the face of the Joseon king, after all, the Joseon king had reigned for many years and was quite prestigious among the people, so he went to suppress the battle, and at the same time wanted to witness the killing of the Joseon king and Li Jue.

It's a pity that Li Jue actually fled, and he also mobilized the army to fight back to fight Li Jue, if it weren't for the fact that Li Jue's army was more than Li Jue, then the person who fled from Seoul in embarrassment would probably be Li Jue.

"Zhao Shanggong, since you can't think of it, then this king can't exist as this person." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and said to Zhao Shanggong with a serious expression, "What you said, this king will definitely investigate thoroughly, if you have half a lie, this king will definitely punish you severely!" ”

"Lord Wang, what the lower officials said is true, and if there is no truth, I am willing to be punished." Zhao Shanggong looked at Li Yuntian with a resolute expression, without the slightest intention of retreating.

"What do you have to say?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and looked at the people kneeling behind Zhao Shanggong, wondering if they could provide any valuable clues.

"Lord Wang, I know who the person who followed the Lord of Shouyang that night." Just when people thought that the remaining survivors of Gyeongbokgung Palace had nothing to say, a survivor wearing the uniform of the Inner Janissary suddenly raised his head and reported to Li Yuntianyu, "I know him from a humble position, and this person is Cui Li, who is the government to examine Cui Li!" ”

"Cui Zhenshen!" With a bang, everyone at the scene suddenly fell into a commotion, and they all looked around looking for Cui Li, who should participate in today's court trial as the inspector of the government's five products.

However, to the surprise of the people, the officials who searched the scene did not find Cui Li, and they did not know where Cui Li went.

"Lord Wang, there is one thing that the lower official has not had time to report to the prince, the government has investigated the sudden disappearance of Cui Li last night, and the lower official has sent someone to look for it." At this time, Li Ji pondered for a while and bowed to Li Yuntian and said, he thought that Cui Li's disappearance was irrelevant, but he did not expect to be involved in the murder of the king of Joseon.

The officials who were looking for Cui Li at the scene looked at Li Ji in surprise when they heard this, Cui Li did not disappear sooner or later, but he was going to disappear when Li Yuntian was on trial, the smell was too weird, and anyone could feel that this matter was extraordinary.

"Are you sure it was Cui Jianshen who was with Shouyang Dajun that night?" Li Yuntian did not inquire about Cui Li's matter, but asked the internal guard for confirmation with an expressionless face.

"Lord Hui, Cui Jianshen has served in the parliamentary government for ten years, and he has seen him many times, and he will definitely not admit his mistake." The inner guard nodded, and said with an affirmative face, he also changed into the rebel clothes that attacked the palace that night and escaped with his life, otherwise he would not be able to leave Gyeongbokgung Palace, which was blocked by the rebels.

"Interesting!" Li Yuntian couldn't help but slowly spit out three words from his mouth when he heard this, and then glanced around at the scene and said, "Everyone, it seems that this Cui Zhenshen is the key to this case. ”

"The last general obeys!" A general of the Xiaowu Army immediately stepped forward quickly, bowed his hand to Li Yuntian, and left quickly, and went to the city to post a notice that Cui Li was wanted.

"Shouyang Maharaja, since Zhao Shanggong has pointed out that you were in Gyeongbokgung Palace on the night of the incident, and you insist that you are at home, then this king will summon your family servants to come and inquire!" After the general left, Li Yuntian turned to Li Yu and said quietly.

"The lower officials are up to the prince." Li Yao bowed to Li Yuntian and said loudly, he was not afraid of Li Yuntian interrogating the people in his family.

At this time, it has been several years since the Joseon king, and Li Yao left quietly and came back quietly that night, so only a few people in the family knew that he had gone out, and others always thought that he was in the bedroom.

As soon as Li Yuntian then waved his hand, a military attache who lectured on martial arts hurriedly led people to the Shouyang Dajun's Mansion to bring Li Yao's family to inquire.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yuntian exchanged opinions with Li Ji, Huang Xi, and others on the interrogation just now, and although Li Yuntian was the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he was approachable and very amiable in front of the officials of the Korean state, which made him gain a lot of favor from the North Korean officials.

Of course, Huang Xi tried his best to express doubts about Zhao Shanggong and others' identification of Li Jin, believing that Zhao Shanggong had been hiding in other places for many years, and did not take the initiative to explain the truth after learning that Li Yuntian had personally come to Seoul, and there may be hidden secrets that no one knows, and his words revealed that Zhao Shanggong was instructed by someone to frame Li Yao, and even suspected that Zhao Shanggong was a fellow party of the rebels.

Li Ji disagreed with Huang Xi's point of view, believing that Zhao Shanggong was too cautious to not come to see Li Yuntian, and reminded Huang Xi not to forget the two fires outside the city a few days ago, which meant that Zhao Shanggong's cautious actions were not groundless, but indeed threatened.

Liu Shangmin watched the argument between Li Ji and Huang Xi quietly, and did not want to get involved in the dispute between the two, but he secretly rejoiced in his heart, he believed that Zhao Shanggong was not lying, which meant that Li Ji would be in big trouble.

What was new to Liu Shangmin and the people at the scene was that Li Yuntian did not impose a punishment on the people involved in the case during the trial, and you must know that the trial of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion should not use heavy punishment, and the execution scene was usually bloody and bloody, and ghosts cried wolf.

Of course, Liu Shangmin would never think that this was Li Yuntian's benevolence, as far as he knew, Li Yuntian did not like to use punishment when he tried the case in the Ming Dynasty, and usually used careful reasoning and conclusive evidence to make the criminal bow his head and admit his guilt.

Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true, if it were Liu Shangmin, he would have already used a big punishment on Zhao Shanggong and others, so as to judge whether he was telling the truth, Li Yao's family members were naturally not spared, but then the scene was a little bloody.

When Li Yuntian was talking with Li Ji, Huang Xi and others, the officials and people at the scene were also talking in groups in low voices, secretly speculating whether Li Yao was the murderer behind the murder of the king of Joseon, or whether Zhao Shanggong was framing him.

Compared with the simple-minded people, the civil and military officials present did not think that Li Yao was the murderer of the king of Joseon, and the officialdom was deceitful, and it was guaranteed that this time was the same as the last assassination of Li Jue, and Li Yao was also framed.

In the midst of people's discussions, Li Yao's family servants were brought into the Forbidden Mansion, which made the noisy sound at the scene disappear immediately and the silence was restored.

"The inner life woman Yin has seen the prince!" The leader of the Shouyang Maharaja's Mansion was naturally the Shouyang Maharaja's wife, Yin, who bowed down after coming to Li Yuntian.

"I've seen the prince." With a hula, the people who followed Yin knelt down one after another.

"Yin, this king asks you, where was the prince of Shouyang when the rebellion broke out in Seoul?" Li Yuntian glanced at Yin's family, and saw that he had a dignified appearance, a gentle temperament, and a calm gesture, knowing that she was not a simple woman, so he asked quietly.

"Back to the prince, due to the chaos outside, the prince of Shouyang was with the inner wife that night, and he didn't go out until General Park pacified the rebels." Yin Shi had been prepared and replied in an orderly manner.

"Who else but you can prove it?" Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then asked, he naturally couldn't believe Yin's words.

"Lord Wang, the inner wife and the people around the Shouyang Dajun can prove it." Yin Shi bowed to Li Yuntian and replied in a coquettish voice, without showing any panic at all.

"Lord Wang, we can testify that the Maharaja was with his wife that night." At this time, some men and women kneeling behind the Yin clan hurriedly raised their heads and looked at Li Yuntian.

Seeing that Yin and those subordinates all testified to Li Yao, the people at the scene couldn't help but look at Li Yuntian, wondering how Li Yuntian would deal with the situation in front of him, according to the usual trial process, those subordinates should be tortured next, and only after surviving the heavy punishment can their confessions be credible.

"Yin, as far as this king knows, the prince of Shouyang has been skilled in bowing and horses since he was a child, and his courage is superb, and he is a rare general among the great monarchs." After pondering for a while, Li Yuntian looked at the Yin family quietly, "You tell this king, why didn't the Lord of Shouyang go to the rescue with General Park after learning that Gyeongbokgung Palace was besieged by the rebels, but chose to stay at home?" ”

Hearing this, Yin couldn't help but be slightly stunned, she never expected that Li Yuntian would ask such a question, which made her a little impatient, and she was even ready to be tortured.

At the same time, the civil and military officials at the scene showed surprised expressions, Li Yuntian's questioning was unexpected by everyone, but it hit the nail on the head, making Li Jin's face change immediately.
