"Caomin's eyes have been unable to see since a strange disease occurred in the thirteenth year of Changxi, so they dropped out of Qingming midway." Tian Liu's voice was full of regret.
"You..." Emperor Tiansheng hesitated for a moment, wondering how this Tianliu was related to this case.
"Your Majesty." Tian Liu said unhurriedly, "The Caomin is Li Changyong who was captured by the Imperial Capital for bribery and bought the test questions earlier. The Caomin reported a fake name to the Imperial Capital."
"Li Changyong is you?" Emperor Tiansheng's eyes flashed - Li Changyong is actually blind!
When the Imperial Capital Mansion got Li Changyong who was reselling the test questions, he grabbed the test questions sealed with wax and looked sneaky in a small alley. Unpacking and checking, counting from the time when the crime was committed, Li Changyong can only get the test questions just now, so it can be said that from beginning to end, those who have taken the test questions alone, except for Gu Nanyi who was accused of stealing the test questions by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, As for the remaining Li Changyong, Gu Nanyi has already proved that he has never gone out. No matter how blind Li Changyong is, it means that the test questions have not been leaked.
Emperor Tiansheng's expression immediately relaxed a little. In any case, if the test questions were not leaked, the Chunwei scandal that shocked the world would no longer exist, and the court's face and reputation were somewhat maintained.
It's just that there are some things that I still can't figure out, such as why Tian Liu gave up a fake name, and why it was in Wei Zhi's hands. Shouldn't this be the witness of Peng Pei and others? And this real Lee Jang Yong...
His eyes turned to Li Changyong, but he was a tough man. Although he was dressed as a scholar, his face was full of flesh, his eyes rolled around, and he was full of quack air. Standing behind him all the time, guarding against death.
Feng Zhiwei didn't look at Li Changyong, but just watched the few people in the hall. Since Li Changyong appeared, the faces of Peng Pei and the second and seventh princes hadn't changed, but it was Wu Dashi, who had challenged her just now, who suddenly lowered his head and started drinking tea.
At this glance, I knew that this matter was not written by one person. It should be several parties, each responsible for a link, which played the role of keeping secret and supervising each other. There is a loophole.
"Li Changyong." Zong Chen kicked lightly, and said, "Who are you, and why are you here, tell your Majesty."
Li Changyong trembled all over, and glanced at Master Wu again, but he was so focused on drinking tea that he didn't raise his head, the corners of his mouth trembled, remembering the strange and strange ways of hurting people behind him, he swallowed, and said helplessly: "Little one ... The young one's name is Li Changyong... a native of Dijing, who lives in Baiya Street, Xinghua Bridge, South Gate of Dijing... The small family originally had a bit of a fortune, and was considered a wealthy family, but the young one was addicted to gambling and owed a whole lot of gambling debts. Asking for debts, forcing the baby in the family to cry and call the mother-in-law, and the old lady hanged herself... The little one was anxious, and ran to the creditor's house with a knife, ready to go in with a red knife and out with a white knife, and die happily... Outside Xinghua Bridge I was stopped by someone in the alley... To my little one... You are going to die anyway, and death is worth it... As long as I am waiting to get something in the West Second Alley of Donglou Street at Haishi the next night, Just walk to the vicinity of Beisi Hutong within the specified time. If you are caught by the Imperial Capital... just say that I bought it from the Ministry of Rites through a relationship... After the matter is completed, give my family a thousand taels of silver and buy a big house for my wife and children on Jianghuai Road …”
At this time, the Qingming students who were originally listening outside had already been hinted by Feng Zhiwei, and they were relieved to disperse, and the heads of various departments could no longer mix in to listen to the trial, and they also left quietly. These people knew that they would not let them listen to the full Well, the reason why Emperor Tiansheng let them in before was because more and more people gathered in the streets outside, fearing that things would get out of hand.
As a result, the hall gradually quieted down, and instead created a depressing and stiff atmosphere. Emperor Tiansheng half-closed his eyes, listening to Li Changyong's explanation, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Looking at him, I don't know what the old emperor's mood is at the moment, only Ning Yi didn't look at his face, but only slightly lowered his eyes on his fingers.
Tian Shengdi's fingers, covered by the wide sleeves of his robe, trembled convulsively.
Ning Yi's eyes flashed, he knew that the emperor was not silent, but his heart was burning, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Li Changyong!" He said immediately, "Since you accepted the deal, why are you in Lord Wei's control now?"
"Young...you don't know..." Li Changyong wept bitterly, "I left on time that night, and when I arrived at West Er Hutong of Donglou Street, someone came over and asked, 'Your Excellency, what is your name?' The little one answered immediately. , and was knocked unconscious... After that, he was locked in a dark room... The little one didn't know what happened... "
"Your Majesty." With a sneer, Feng Zhiwei stepped forward and said, "These two witnesses can be regarded as my ministers, but they don't know the ins and outs of it. Let this minister explain it to you once and for all. .”
At this moment, Emperor Tiansheng slowed down, stared at Peng Pei who was already pale, and said in a deep voice, "Say it!"
"Things have to start from the beginning when Weichen took over the Ministry of Rites." Feng Zhiwei said, "The first thing I did when I took over the Ministry of Rites was to have someone clean up the documents and files left by the previous minister. In the dark cell, I found a weird list."
Emperor Tiansheng's expression changed, and he immediately asked, "What list?"
"Weichen doesn't know either." Feng Zhiwei said, "On the above is simply written some numbers, and the person's surname, place of origin, for example, the first line, Weichen remembers, it is ten thousand, Wang, Quyang, a few words .”
Emperor Tiansheng's face turned ugly again, and he glanced at Feng Zhiwei, "Where's the list?"
Feng Zhiwei stared into his eyes, and slowly said: "I don't know what this list is, but I think it's suspicious, so I don't feel relieved to leave it in the study, so I brought it back to the mansion. That night, there was a fire in the mansion, and I was released. Someone snatched it out, put the list in the bedroom, I don’t know if it was burned.”
Emperor Tiansheng pondered for a while, and said: "Your mansion is burning so badly, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here."
