The emperor's people are quick to do things, and the results were already achieved after just half an hour's rest.
The list stated that there was only one spice shop that could buy this Yulixiang, and the only people who bought it were the daughter of the Minister of Etiquette and the daughter of an inconspicuous merchant.
The merchants have nothing to do with people like them, but the eldest daughter of the Li family died of poisoning, but the second daughter bought the spices that were induced by the poison. This is interesting.
"Li Weizhong, what's going on?" The emperor punched the desk in front of him hard.
"Your Majesty, I don't know this!" Li Weizhong knelt down with a plop, picked up the piece of paper, took a look at it, and said tremblingly.
"Rushuang, what is going on? Why don't you explain it to the emperor quickly?" Li Weizhong yelled at Li Rushuang behind him.
"Your Majesty, father, I, I just smelled this Yulixiang when I was shopping that day and asked if it was good, so I bought some back. I don't know what Yiluoxiang is or what poison it is. My eldest sister and I usually Our relationship has always been good, how could I harm my eldest sister? I beg the emperor to understand, I really don’t know anything."
Li Rushuang took a step forward, knelt down, and cried to the emperor with a look of grievance and pity.
"You know whether you know it or not, you will know after you have met her." Baili Mochen said suddenly, ignoring Li Rushuang's excuses.
"Father, my son accidentally saved a person a few days ago, which may be related to this case." Baili Mochen said to the emperor respectfully.
"Oh, bring them up!" The emperor nodded and motioned for Baili Mochen to bring them up.
Baili Mochen waved his hand, and someone led a woman in.
This person is none other than the third young lady of the Li family, Li Ruyun, whom she had not seen a few days ago.
"Yun'er, where have you been? Why haven't you come home for so long? My father thought..." Li Weizhong's voice choked up when he saw Li Ruyun.
He had already lost one daughter and could not afford to lose another.
"Your Majesty, please see Your Majesty, please see King Yao." Li Ruyun stepped forward, knelt down, and waited until the Emperor waved his hand before standing up.
"Father!" He stepped aside and called his father respectfully.
At this time, Mrs. Fang was shocked, knowing that today was probably the end.
"Speaking of which, do you know anything related to this case?" The emperor, who was sitting upright, asked with a strong and solemn aura belonging to the king.
"If I return to the emperor, my eldest sister's death has nothing to do with this Miss Duan. Everything was done by my second sister and my wife."
Li Ruyun didn't know whether it was because he had become indifferent after experiencing life and death, or what happened.
He actually said what was in his heart without hesitation at all.
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense. She was sick before and always likes to talk nonsense." Fang quickly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Emperor, saying eagerly.
God knows how she felt the moment she saw Li Ruyun. It was as scary as seeing a ghost.
The emperor waved his hand to stop Fang's explanation. He already made a decision in his heart and just turned to ask Li Ruyun.
"Really? Where's the evidence?" The emperor looked at Li Ruyun with unclear eyes.
"The little girl is the evidence. The Yiluoxiang is what the madam threatened with my aunt's life and ordered the little girl to give it to the eldest sister to drink. Now I still have a little powder here, and the emperor can have it tested. Because I was sick before. At that time, I almost leaked their secret, so my wife and my second sister planned to get rid of me. If I hadn't accidentally met Prince Yao and saved me, I would have been killed by a knife at this moment. "
Li Ruyun finished speaking slowly and glanced at Fang and her daughter, with full regret and hatred in their eyes.
The guard next to the emperor stepped forward and took the small medicine bottle from Li Ruyun's hand, turned and left. After a while, he came back and whispered something in the emperor's ear. The emperor's face immediately became a little more ugly.
"Bold Madam Fang, as a mistress of the house, you have no way of raising your daughter, yet you are so vicious and poisonous to your eldest daughter. You are simply heartless and unforgivable." Madam Fang roared down the hall with an angry look on the emperor's face.
"Your Majesty, it's my fault that I know I'm guilty. All this is done by my wife and it's none of Shuang'er's business. Please forgive Shuang'er for the sake of Shuang'er's young age and ignorance." "
Mrs. Fang knew that she would inevitably die this time, but she still wanted to keep her favorite daughter.
I didn't expect that after so many years of hard work and planning in the back house, she would be defeated today, and I don't know whose hands it was.
Although she was unwilling to give in, she had no power to recover, and she only asked the emperor to spare her daughter's life.
At this time, the emperor was looking through the confessions of the people who wanted to kill Li Ruyun. It even mentioned that the Fang family had secretly raised no less than a hundred people. These people could be said to be thugs or private soldiers. general existence.
Seeing the blue veins on the emperor's forehead bulge, it is simply outrageous. A woman dares to raise so many people privately in the capital. What is her intention
Damn it, damn it, do you still take him as the emperor seriously
The emperor looked at the testimony in his hand, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense.
Finally, he slapped the table in front of him hard.
"The people came to remove Li Weizhong from the post of Minister of Rites and put him on death row. Fang and the two daughters of the Li family were put on death row and were to be executed on a certain day. All the property of the Li family was confiscated into the state treasury, and the rest were all transferred to the state treasury. Slave status, you will not be able to leave it for the rest of your life!"
Before Li Weizhong knew what was going on, he had already been stripped of his court uniform and dragged out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
After Li Weizhong reacted, he just kept shouting for the emperor to spare his life. Unfortunately, he didn't even know what mistake he had made.
After the emperor finished speaking, Mrs. Fang had already become like a corpse, standing there blankly, lifeless.
Li Rushuang was still struggling, shouting, 'Why are you arresting me? let me go. ';If so, who would care about her
Li Ruyun, on the other hand, followed the person in front of her with a calm face. It seemed that she already knew her ending.
What do you hate most about being an emperor? Of course, someone who is disloyal to himself and has second thoughts is raising private soldiers in the capital. That is a crime that is enough to destroy the nine clans. The emperor's punishment for the Li family is relatively light.
This is why the emperor acted like this because he did not want to expose this matter to others. Once this matter became known to everyone, it would inevitably affect his face and prestige as the emperor.
You know, a woman can support so many people in Kyoto under his nose, which shows how incompetent this emperor is.
Therefore, for the sake of his own face, the emperor could only deal with it this way.
After the Li family was dragged away, the emperor handed over the remaining matters to Baili Mochen.
Baili Mochen declared Chunfeng innocent on the spot. The happy Chunfeng Niang stepped forward and hugged Chunfeng, crying with joy!
