However, having said that, Li Zhiyun was also a little strange. The person Liu Wenqi cursed was his second brother and not him, let alone him who ordered Liu Wenqi to stab the villain. Why did Lao Li call him here?
It's not another case investigation.
Thinking of this, Li Zhiyun felt a little nauseous for no reason.
What's the point of investigating this kind of thing? Anyway, in the end, the investigation will definitely turn out to be nothing. After experiencing the case of Dou's secretly hiding a crossbow, Li Zhiyun realized that as long as the case involves high-level officials, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.
For example, this time, Liu Wenqi stabbed the villain of King Qin, could it be simple?
Liu Wenqi belongs to the crown prince. Is it possible that the crown prince directed Liu Wenqi to kill the villain? Is it possible that it was a fight for the right to inherit the throne?
The King of Qin beat Liu Wenqi into a human shape. It is indeed possible that the latter hated the King of Qin, but would Liu Wenqi really be mentally retarded enough to use such illusory power to murder the King of Qin?
And the concubine who made the accusation, there is something wrong no matter how you look at it.
Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, I think that Liu Wenqi committed such a sinister thing and deserved to die. Persecuting the current King of Qin, General Tiance, is equivalent to destroying the country of Tang Dynasty. He should be divided into five pieces. However, this case is definitely not like that.
Simple, I request your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation and not let go of any murderer who attempts to murder King Qin."
Liu Wenqi almost fainted from fright when he heard the five horses dismembering the body.
Oops!
What he said was that if Li Zhiyun hadn't been the King of Chu and knew very well who the real owner of this piece of shit Pei Ji was, he would have almost thought that Pei Ji was wholeheartedly plotting for the King of Qin.
Of course, Li Zhiyun agreed with what Pei Ji said.
Everyone present, except the Crown Prince and King Qi, felt unhappy with Liu Wenjing and wished he would die immediately.
Liu Wenjing was the prince's son, and she and the King of Qin were natural enemies. What Pei Ji said could be said to have spoken to the heart of the King of Qin.
In Li Zhiyun's mind, the last time he wiped out Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuanji told him in Jinyang that it was Liu Wenjing, a piece of shit, who asked the prince to plan his army.
Therefore, Li Zhiyun also agreed with Pei Ji's vicious plan.
Although the person Pei Ji was targeting in his words was Liu Wenqi, in fact everyone knew that Pei Ji was targeting Liu Wenjing.
What Pei Ji wants is to prove Liu Wenqi's crime, and then implicate Liu Wenjing!
Of course, the prince cannot just sit back and watch this happen. He only has one Liu Wenjing in the political hall. If Pei Ji uses Liu Wenqi to kill Liu Wenjing, his loss will be too great.
"Prime Minister Pei, be careful." The prince said in an aggressive tone, "Now that the truth is unknown, it is too ridiculous to convict just by relying on a concubine to inform. It is impossible to say for sure that the concubine did this to murder the King of Qin and shift the blame.
On to Liu Wenqi."
Pei Ji asked back: "One is the King of Qin and the other is a slave. May I ask Your Highness the Crown Prince, how can the King of Qin have any grudge against a slave?"
The prince was at a loss for words. How on earth could he clean it? The stolen goods were indeed found from Liu Wenqi's house, and the concubine was indeed Liu Wenqi's concubine.
The witnesses and physical evidence are all there.
But he didn't believe it!
He didn't believe that Liu Wenqi would do such a thing, let alone that there was no conspiracy behind it. Maybe it was arranged by his second brother!
But the problem is, the incident happened suddenly, the second child and Pei Ji had already searched out the things, and he couldn't refute it for a while.
Li Yuan remained silent.
Although he was angry that Liu Wenqi had done such a dirty thing, he did not lose his mind immediately. He also felt that there was something wrong behind this matter.
Liu Wenqi, how could he have the courage to do such a thing?
At this time, King Qin cupped his hands and said: "Father, Liu Wenqi owed thirty thousand taels to the gambling house before and was sent to Jingzhao Mansion for not paying back. When I heard the case, I did bring personal grudges and used torture to beat Liu Wenqi. But I
Ask yourself if you have done anything wrong.
If everyone in the court, who is a noble man, imitates Liu Wenqi and borrows money from everywhere without repaying it, where will the judicial majesty of the court be?
Erchen was tortured in pain just to warn other noble disciples. However, Erchen never expected that Liu Wenqi would be so resentful to him.
It was the son's fault that he acted inappropriately, and he also believed that Prime Minister Liu was by no means a lax family man. Since the prince's brother wholeheartedly believed that Liu Wenqi was not at fault, I had no objection, so the matter was dropped.
I sincerely ask my father to allow me to resign from the position of governor of Jingzhao Prefecture."
Li Yuan frowned and said: "This matter has not been clarified yet, so why do you need to take a step back? I have never come here and I am not a man who ignores the facts. Don't mention this matter again."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded.
After saying this, Li Yuan looked at Liu Wenqi.
"Liu Wenqi, the witnesses and material evidence are all there. What do you have to say?"
"I am wronged!" Liu Wenqi shouted, defending himself with tears and snot in his nose, "Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Qin used torture on me that day. I do feel resentful, but I would never dare to do such a vicious thing. Please understand, Your Majesty."
check!"
"Mingcha?" Li Yuan pointed to the bronze puppet on the ground, "The things were found from your house, how do you explain it?"
"Someone is setting this up!" Liu Wenqi insisted.
"Who framed you?" Li Zhiyun asked, and then said: "The person who dares to frame you must not be an ordinary person. As long as he takes action, he will definitely leave traces. As long as you can speak out, His Majesty will definitely make the decision for you."
"I..." Liu Wenqi's face turned red, but he couldn't explain why.
He doesn't know!
The prince said: "I beg your father to give me some time, and I will definitely find out the murderer!"
"Hehehe." Pei Ji smiled and said: "His Royal Highness has to supervise the country and investigate cases, aren't you afraid that you will be too busy?"
"If this matter is not investigated and brought to light, it will definitely happen again in the future. The murderer was so audacious that he murdered court officials and deserved death. I must restore peace to the court!" the prince said loudly.
Pei Ji nodded and said: "Yes, the murderer is so bold that he curses King Qin instead of others. This shows how sinister his intentions are. The murderer sees that King Qin is the White Jade Pillar of the Tang Dynasty and wants to destroy our country.
Tang Sheji, we really need to investigate thoroughly. Since His Highness the Crown Prince wants to investigate, I have no objection."
Well, when did Pei Ji become so talkative?
Just when everyone was surprised, Lao Li suddenly said: "Liu Wenjing and Liu Wenqi are being held in prison. Pei Ji will be in charge of the investigation. Let the others go down first."
The prince was anxious, "Father!"
Asking Pei Ji to investigate the case, is it because Liu Wenjing didn't die quickly enough?
No one in the court knew that Liu Wenjing and Pei Ji had a grudge.
"That's enough, I'm tired." Waving his hand, Li Yuan turned and left.
Liu Wenjing never said a word. He knew very well that if Liu Wenqi did such a thing, he would not be able to escape. The reason why he did not speak was because it was useless to say anything now. There were both witnesses and physical evidence. How could he escape?
Prove innocence.
The things were found from his brother's mansion. Since the concubine had the courage to report Liu Wenqi, she was definitely not the only one. More importantly, he suspected that the King of Qin was behind this matter.
Cursing the royal family, King Qin, General Tiance, he can't escape.
Liu Wenjing looked at the prince and said, "Your Highness, my brother, has never done such a thing. Those who are clean will clean themselves up. Your Highness does not need to worry."
Li Zhiyun smiled secretly, Old Liu, you are really confident. The person in charge of the investigation now is your mortal enemy.
Although I don’t know where Liu Wenjing’s confidence comes from, it does not prevent Li Zhiyun from continuing to eat melons. This matter is definitely not simple, and someone must be causing trouble.
Li Zhiyun knew who it was without even thinking about it.
Is this your back-up plan? It should not be underestimated.
