As Jin Cheng spoke, several officials from the Forbidden Mansion escorted the two men covered in blood and knelt in front of Li Yuntian.

"Do you know both of them?" Under the suspicious gaze of the people at the scene, Jin Cheng pointed to the two people and asked the round-faced manservant and others.

"Lord Hui, they seem to be Lord Cui's entourage." The round-faced manservant took a closer look at the two men and was the first to recognize their identities, so he replied that he had spent the longest time with Cui Li and the others last night, and he had been there recently, so he could recognize them.

"Yes, the two of them are Cui Li's entourage." Jin Cheng nodded when he heard this, turned to the people at the scene and said, "This official was ordered by the prince to assist in the investigation of the case, and the capable personnel of the Yi Forbidden Mansion and the sergeant of the martial arts hall followed Cui Li together. ”

"When Cui Li's traces were found again, he was fleeing over the wall with a rope on the city wall, and his entourage was beheaded to death on the spot in order to prevent the government from arresting and resisting by force, and the two were wounded and captured."

Saying that, Jin Cheng turned to Li Ji and Huang Xi and other high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Korean State, and said loudly, "According to the official's inquiry, Cui Li did not take money in the palace of the Lord of Shouyang, they are ready to hide in the deep mountains and dense forests to avoid the limelight, even if they want money, there is nowhere to spend it, for them, the top priority is to save their lives, as long as the money on hand is enough, they will find a way to raise money in the future." ”

Li Ji and Huang Xi and others nodded secretly when they heard this, the first thing Cui Li had to face after escaping from Seoul was the search and arrest of the Ming army and the North Korean army.

Therefore, in order to avoid the pursuit of the government, Cui Li and others had to hide in the deep mountains and old forests to save their lives, so where did they still have the intention of asking for money, and food was more important at that time.

"Shouyang Dajun, Cui Li came to look for you, is it really to ask for money? Or do I want to say goodbye to you! Jin Cheng glanced around at the people present, then turned to Li Yao and asked in a deep voice.

"Cui Li did ask for money from Ben Dajun, as for why he asked for money, Ben Dajun doesn't know, maybe he wants to give it to others." Li Yao gritted his teeth when he heard this, and looked at Jin Cheng with a dissatisfied expression, since Cui Li had already fled, what else was he afraid of?

"Lord Shouyang, we have arranged a large number of people for Cui Li to settle down in every foothold in the city, he has become a frightened bird, how can he find anyone?"

Jin Cheng sneered and glanced at Li Jin, if it weren't for Li Yuntian's presence, he would have let Li Jin be punished a long time ago, and then said to the entourage of Cui Li, "Tell everyone, where did you go after you left the Shouyang Dajun Mansion?" ”

"I went straight to the city wall, and I wanted to climb over the wall and get out of the city." One of the attendants replied dejectedly that he wanted to find a way to survive for himself, after all, no one wanted to die when there was a way to live.

"He has been beaten like this by you, so naturally whatever you say is what you say!" Hearing this, Li Yao looked at Jin Cheng coldly, and his words were full of a hint of provocation.

"Lord Shouyang, this king tells you that if a lie is covered up with thousands of lies, there will be thousands of flaws." At this time, Li Yuntian put down the teacup in his hand and said to Li Ji with a straight face, "When you thought that your lies would solve the siege for you, you didn't know that you had fallen into greater danger. ”

"Lord Wang, the lower officials don't understand what the prince means." Li Yao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then gritted his teeth and said to Li Yuntian, although he didn't know what Li Yuntian was going to do, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Generally speaking, large households will have an account book of income and expenditure, although there are discrepancies, but there is generally no mistake." Li Yuntian looked at Li Yu with a serious expression, "Shouyang Dajun, this king doesn't care whether you have open accounts or secret accounts, there will always be an account book to record your finances, as long as you check the income and expenditure of the past two days, you can know whether you gave Cui Jian any money last night!" ”

Li Yao's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he looked at Li Yuntian with a shocked expression, he had patronized the matter of dealing with Cui Li before, and he never expected that such a big flaw had been inadvertently revealed.

"Li Yao, if you still want to continue to play this boring trick, then this king will accompany you to play, and this king wants to see how capable you are!"

Seeing Li Yao looking at him with a stunned expression, Li Yuntian pondered for a while and said, "This king believes that there are many loopholes hidden in your lies, as long as this king finds out and sees what else you have to say." ”

Hearing this, everyone at the scene suddenly had a commotion, and many of Li Yao's lies just now were exposed one by one, which made him have no credibility in front of people, this situation is very bad, and I am afraid that no one will believe Li Yao in the future.

This is also Li Yuntian's purpose, he guessed that Li Yao would not be caught with his hands tied, and he would definitely be cheated at that time, so he deliberately exposed his lies, made him lose people's trust, and then brought him to justice.

Li Yao wanted to refute Li Yuntian, but the corners of his mouth squirmed a few times and he didn't say anything, because he had already noticed the strange look in the eyes of the people around him, the previous series of events could be said to have made him lose face, and he found that he was now like a clown in people's eyes.

Therefore, Li Jin didn't know if he would continue to hold on for a while, judging from the current situation, doing so would only make him suffer more humiliation.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion, and under the surprised gaze of the people, more than a dozen sergeants of the Xiaowu Army and the servants of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion walked in with a gray-headed man with some scars on his face.

"Cui Zhenshen!" Soon, the officials present recognized that the embarrassed-looking man was Cui Li, who was wanted by Li Yuntian before.

When he saw the dejected Cui Li, Li Yao's body suddenly froze there, his face was full of surprise, he never imagined that Cui Li would be caught so quickly.

But think about it, the sergeants of the Xiaowu Army and the officers of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion have been chasing Cui Li who escaped from the city since last night, Cui Li is a scholar after all, how can he outrun those rude strong men?

After seeing Cui Li, the scene that was originally a little commotion suddenly fell silent, and everyone focused on him, Cui Li was the most important person in Li Yao's case.

"Take the Lord Shouyang down." Li Yuntian had long known that Cui Li would be caught, because this was a pre-designed bridge section for him, and in order to prevent Li Yao, who was already a little crazy, from disturbing Cui Li's interrogation, he nodded to Jin Cheng, and Jin Cheng shouted at the officials of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion who were present.

Several servants of the forbidden mansion immediately rushed to meet Li Yao, although Li Yao was unwilling to leave like this, but there was no way to do it, so he forcibly took those servants away.

"Get on your knees!" After coming to Li Yuntian, a soldier of the Xiaowu Army kicked at Cui Li's retreat bend, and Cui Li fell to his knees.

"Cui Li, this official asks you, why did you flee from the city in a hurry last night and resist the pursuit of the government by force?" Cui Li is just a small Zhengwu inspection of the government, so interrogating Cui Li naturally does not need Li Yuntian to come out Jin Cheng glared at Cui Li and shouted.

"Xiaguan knew that the matter of letting people set fire to the residence of the Ming army on the two roads who came to Seoul was exposed, so he wanted to escape from the city before the government was arrested."

Cui Li glanced up at Jin Cheng, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The reason why Xia Guan let people set fire is because he wants to frame the Lord Ling, and the Lord Ling secretly supports Lord Linying, ostensibly to let Lord Linying inherit the throne, but in fact, it is for his own interests, and he is ready to manipulate Lord Linying to take charge of military and political power, and the lower officials can't let him succeed in this trick!" ”

Li Ji didn't expect Cui Li to target himself, his face suddenly became a little ugly, although he felt a little annoyed in his heart, but now is obviously not the time to care, since Cui Li admitted that he sent someone to set fire, it means that he has pushed himself to a dead end.

However, Li Ji still admires Cui Li, Cui Li must have known that it would be difficult to get rid of his death this time, so he took all the blame and wanted to exonerate Li Ji.

"Where did you go before you fled last night?" Jin Cheng naturally knew Cui Li's thoughts, but he didn't care, but asked methodically.

"Last night?"

Cui Li's brows suddenly frowned slightly, and after looking at the two entourages kneeling on the side, he said to Jin Cheng, "Last night, Xia Guan went to see Shouyang Dajun before leaving, thank him for his care of Xia Guan over the years, Shouyang Dajun didn't know what Xia Guan did, Xia Guan went to see him just to be grateful to him, and Xia Guan thought that Shouyang Dajun was the best heir to the throne in the future." ”

Li Ji, Huang Xi and the others saw the scene just now, and knew from the actions of the two entourages that Cui Li looked at him why Cui Li wanted to admit that he had seen Li Jin last night, and if he had those two entourages to testify, if he lied, he would fall into a greater predicament, and it would also affect Li Jin.

"Just saying goodbye?" After listening to Cui Li's words, the corners of Jin Cheng's mouth suddenly showed a sneer, and he asked in a loud voice.

The people around couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and it was obvious that Cui Li's words just now meant that one of him and Li Yao was lying.

"It's just a farewell, it's all come to this point, what else does the official have to say to the Lord of Shouyang." Cui Li looked at the strange-looking people around him, and vaguely realized that something was wrong from the reactions of the people around him, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he hesitated for a moment and replied in a proper manner.

"Have you accepted money from the Lord of Shouyang? How many? Jin Chengyan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he pointed at Cui Li and asked loudly.

"Money?" Cui Li finally reacted at this time, and couldn't help but look at Yin who was kneeling not far away, and was very surprised by what Jin Cheng said just now.
