"Shouyang Lord, this official is completely official, there is no such thing as a false accusation, and this official's subordinates witnessed him entering your house through the back door when they followed Cui Li."

Facing Li Jin, who was extremely emotional, Jin Cheng said to him expressionlessly, "This official believes that as long as the people present at the time are interrogated, right and wrong will naturally be clear at a glance. ”

"Which of you was on duty in the backyard last night?" As he spoke, Jin Cheng turned to the subordinates of the Shouyang Dajun's Mansion who were kneeling there, and asked coldly.

The subordinates of the Shouyang Dajun's Mansion looked at each other, and no one responded, and it was obvious that the people on duty at that time were weak and did not dare to respond.

"Why, do you want this official to take out the roster on duty and roll call?" Jin Cheng glanced at those subordinates, and said in a cold tone, he had naturally cultivated a cold character in the Yi Forbidden Mansion for many years, and he could feel a faint chill when he tried the case.

"Who's on duty, don't stand up yet!" Seeing this, Yin Shi knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly turned around and shouted to the person behind him.

"Back to ...... Back to my lord, is it...... It's the little ones on duty! Hearing this, several domestic servants and maids raised their heads, looked at Jin Cheng with panicked expressions, and stammered.

"This official asks you, did you see Cui Li in the early hours of last night?" Jin Cheng asked as he stared at the subordinates expressionlessly.

"I didn't ...... No. The cold sweat of several subordinates flowed down in an instant, and they hurriedly denied it.

"Do you know that you will be guilty of perjury, and can you afford to kill His Highness?" Jin Cheng suddenly sneered when he heard this, and looked at the subordinates a little gloomily and said.

Several subordinates' faces suddenly changed when they heard this, and they looked a little overwhelmed, if Jin Cheng interrogated them as soon as he came up, they would definitely be able to deal with it calmly, after all, Li Ji must have explained how they responded.

But after witnessing what happened before, especially the scene where Li Yuntian refuted Li Jin, the mentality of these subordinates couldn't help but change.

The person these subordinates can rely on is naturally Li Yao, but if there is enough evidence to prove that Li Yao committed the crime of killing the king of Joseon, then under Li Yuntian's main trial, Li Yao has no possibility of escaping, which means that the pillar in their hearts will collapse with a bang.

It is from this aspect that Li Yuntian decided to try Li Yao first, the so-called capture of thieves and kings, as long as Li Yao's arrogance is beaten down, it will make the mentality of his subordinates change.

Like Da Ming, the murder of the king of Joseon is a crime full of beheadings, even if those subordinates don't think about themselves, they have to think about their families, once Li Yao's crime is convicted, it will affect the family, this kind of big crime is not something they can bear.

"Lord Kim, are you threatening them?" Li Ji knew that the mentality of those subordinates had changed, and he couldn't help but sneer and asked, wanting to reduce the pressure on those subordinates.

"The official is just telling the truth, if it weren't for the prince's mercy and wanting to give them a chance, the official would have been strictly interrogated." Jin Cheng looked at Li Yao coldly when he heard this, everyone knew the style of the Forbidden Mansion, and after several tortures, those people would definitely tell the truth and be severely punished.

"It's just a trick, what kind of ability!"

Li Yao knew that what Jin Cheng said was the truth, and at the same time, he also knew that Jin Cheng's words were actually said to those subordinates, and he wanted to let those subordinates distinguish the current situation, so he was secretly anxious in his heart, and pretended to be calm and said loudly.

"Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you run Cui Li, this official will convince you this time."

Jin Cheng didn't bother with Li Yao, anyway, Li Yao was already in a deep predicament, so he didn't bother to argue with him, looked at Li Jin and said with a sneer, he now knows Li Yuntian's attitude towards the murder of the king of Joseon, so he is not afraid of offending Li Yao if he wants to find out the case.

"Come on, search them, and see who picked up the jade pendant last night! As he spoke, Jin Cheng waved his hand at the official of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion on the side, and shouted in a deep voice.

With Jin Cheng's order, a group of wolf-like servants immediately swarmed forward, searching for something on the bodies of those male servants, which made Li Jin and others puzzled.

"My lord, I found it!" Soon, an errand removed the jade pendant hanging from the neck of a round-faced manservant, and then brought it to Jin Cheng's face, whose face turned pale in an instant, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this situation, Li Jin couldn't help but feel confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Show you, what is written on this jade pendant?" Under the curious gaze of everyone, Jin Cheng asked the servants of the Yi Forbidden Mansion to show the jade pendant to Li Ji, Huang Xi, Jin Zongrui and others present.

"Cui!" After Li Ji and others looked at it, their eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise, it turned out that the jade pendant was engraved with a Chinese character "Cui", and there was no writing in ancient Korea, so Chinese characters were used for a long time.

"This jade pendant was customized by the official in the jewelry shop in the city, and it is recorded in the accounts of the jewelry shop, and it is worth a lot of money, and the official is very curious why it went to you?" A sneer flashed at the corner of Jin Cheng's mouth, and he asked as he stared at the round-faced manservant expressionlessly.

"This ...... This ......" The round-faced manservant suddenly panicked, sweat pouring down his forehead, obviously not knowing how to answer this question, after all, that jade pendant looked very valuable, and it would never be something that a person of his status could have.

Although Li Yao didn't know what was going on, it was obvious that the round-faced manservant had done something that he shouldn't have done, so he knelt there looking at a loss, and his heart suddenly felt anxious.

"Say, where did you pick up the jade pendant?" Jin Cheng saw that the round-faced manservant was speechless for a long time, so he pointed at him with his hand and asked sharply.

"Back to ...... Back to my lord, that ...... The jade pendant was picked up by the villain on the road a few days ago...... picked it up, and wanted to take it for himself for a while, and hoped that the adults would punish it. The round-faced manservant finally came to his senses and quickly knelt on the ground to plead guilty to Kim.

"A few days ago?" Jin Cheng immediately sneered when he heard this, and asked loudly, "Since it was not long before this time, you told the official that you picked up this jade pendant a few days ago?" ”

"Three...... Three days ago! The round-faced manservant was already out of order at this time, and he reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead before replying.

"Are you sure?" Jin Cheng glared at the round-faced manservant and asked in an indifferent voice.

"Indeed...... Are you sure! The round-faced manservant nodded his head again and again, and he couldn't regret it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Come on, take the shopkeeper." Jin Cheng glanced coldly at the round-faced manservant and said to the official of the Righteous Forbidden Mansion who was standing aside.

"The villain has seen the prince." Soon after, under the curious gaze of everyone, the shopkeeper of the largest jewelry store in Seoul was brought up, knelt in front of Li Yuntian and saluted nervously, not knowing why the people from the Righteous Forbidden Mansion brought him over early in the morning, because he was locked in a wing room in the backyard, he did not know the progress of the trial.

"Shopkeeper Fang, do you know this thing?" Jin Cheng asked an official of the Forbidden Mansion to bring the jade pendant to him and asked quietly.

"Master Hui, this is the jewelry you ordered in the small shop." Shopkeeper Fang took it and looked at it carefully before speaking.

"Do you remember when you gave this to your subordinates?" Jin Cheng continued to ask methodically.

"My lord, I remember very well that the little one was given to me yesterday afternoon." Shopkeeper Fang didn't want to blurt out his debut.

Hearing this, the scene couldn't help but be in an uproar, and they all looked at the round-faced manservant, which meant that the round-faced manservant was lying.

The round-faced manservant's body trembled, and he kept wiping the sweat from his face, and his mind was blank.

Seeing this, Li Yao suddenly sighed in his heart, the round-faced manservant is still too inexperienced, it is obvious that this jade pendant is a trap set by Jin Cheng, the more he lies, the more he will fall into the mud, the best choice now is to tell the truth, which will not make him so passive.

Li Yuntian took the hot tea handed over by Yun Na and tasted it slowly, he had already laid the groundwork for the previous things, and then he was going to enjoy Jin Cheng's performance, because it was about the prince of the Korean state, he also wanted the yamen of the Korean country to get involved, so that the result would be more acceptable to the people and officials of the Korean state.

"How can you prove that this jade pendant was handed over to this official yesterday afternoon?" Jin Cheng naturally knew his mission, and asked the shopkeeper Fang in a deep voice.

In fact, how to try the case Jin Cheng'an came according to Li Yuntian's orders, if he was allowed to try the case and directly serve the round-faced manservant with a big punishment, he would not believe that the round-faced manservant would not confess under torture!

"Back to the adult, there is this account in the villain's account, and the adult will check the account book." Hearing this, Shopkeeper Fang hurriedly replied, a hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, he thought he had committed something big, but he didn't expect it to be just because of a jade pendant.

So the shopkeeper Fang had a bottom in his heart, he recorded the daily revenue and expenditure of the jewelry shop in the account book, so he was not afraid that Jin Cheng would go to check the accounts, in fact, Jin Cheng just wanted his record of the jade pendant account.

"Come, give him the books." Hearing this, Jin Cheng beckoned a hand, and an errand officer from the Forbidden Mansion brought an account book, handed it to the Fang shopkeeper, and commanded in a deep voice, "Fang shopkeeper, you find out the account of the jade pendant." ”

"My lord, here." Of course, the shopkeeper Fang was clear about his account books, and when he heard this, he immediately turned to the page where the jade pendant was recorded, pointed it out and showed it to Jin Cheng.

"Let your lords see it." After a glance, Jin Cheng asked his servants to take the account books to Li Ji, Huang Xi, Jin Zongrui and others.

Li Ji, Huang Xi and the others nodded their heads after reading it, expressing their agreement with the record in the account book, which described in detail the size and characteristics of the jade pendant, which was exactly the same as the jade pendant they had seen before.

This means one thing, that is, this jade pendant was picked up by the round-faced manservant after yesterday afternoon, and it definitely won't be three days ago.

Seeing this, Li Yao couldn't help but close his eyes in pain, he naturally guessed the intention of Jin Cheng's move, nine times out of ten it was related to Cui Li's incident last night, but now he was powerless in the face of the conclusive evidence in front of him, and he could only blame the round-faced manservant for being too greedy, so that he broke into a big disaster.
