"Li Hongquan, go and bring it to me." The emperor sat up straight, pointed to the confession in the hands of the Minister of Punishment, and said eagerly to Li Hongquan beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Hongquan took the order, walked down the steps, took the confession from the Minister of Punishment, walked up the steps, checked and confirmed that it was non-toxic, and carefully presented it to the Emperor.
"The Minister of Punishment, what is said in this confession is true?" The emperor read every word of the confession clearly, put down the testimony in his hand, and asked eagerly.
"Your Majesty, every word and every sentence above is from the mouth of the second victim's mother. The ministers will never dare to fake it. The portrait is also drawn by the artist according to her description, and the emperor is also asked to investigate." The minister of punishment lowered his head. , said firmly.
"Don't Mr. Li feel a little overstepped?" At the moment when the sentence of the Minister of Punishment was just finished, Baili Liumo's icy and emotionless voice sounded in the hall. He changed his posture and glanced sharply at the next person. Lord Li, the minister of punishment, lowered his eyes and said lazily, "The chief trial of this case is the prince and the prince. Why did the prince and the prince not know when there was news from the Ministry of punishment, but you, Mr. Li, reported directly to the father? Or Mr. Li. Do you think this king and the prince can't get into your eyes?"
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. It's not that Xiaguan didn't tell the Lord and the Crown Prince. It's just because the identities of the people in this portrait are too sensitive, so Xiaguan dared to hide the two and directly reported the situation to the Emperor." Yan's legs began to tremble a little. For Baili Liumo, it was not so much awe, but rather fear. This expressionless, but stern-hearted prince, he felt that he did not have the psychological endurance to challenge him. , but this incident happened to touch his inverse scale, so now his mood is very uneasy, and he responded in a low voice with all kinds of fear.
"Oh? So this king has misunderstood you?" Baili Liumo raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, raised his eyes to look at the terrified minister of punishment in the center of the hall, and said without any deep meaning, "Lord Li does. A loyal minister who is loyal to the lord and patriotic, this king was just reflecting on himself and the prince. Is it because the two of us have a too bad impression on Mr. Li, that's why we have today's incident. This king wants to ask Mr. Li for advice. The king and the crown prince are the kind of treacherous ministers who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and protect the country and the people from danger, aren't they?"
"My lord, this minister is frightened, this is not what this minister means." The Minister of Punishment's legs softened, and he knelt on the ground with a plop. He said in a panic, his eyes fell on the emperor, and he took two steps forward on his knees, asking for help. , "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of the minister, this is not what the minister means."
"Okay, Mo'er, don't blame him, let's take a look at this before you make a decision." The emperor interrupted the questioning and quarrel, and handed the confession and portrait in his hand to Li Hongquan. Baili Liumo said. Baili Liumo nodded slightly, and didn't say anything more, but the cold sweep still made the Minister of Punishment not dare to do anything, and trembled on the spot, waiting for the emperor's orders.
Taking the two pieces of rice paper that Li Hongquan handed over, Baili Liumo's eyes sank slightly, and there was a terrifying coldness in his eyes. Even Li Hongquan, who had seen the wind and waves, couldn't help but take two steps back.
