Chapter 219
The emperor's people do things quickly. After just half an hour of rest, they already had results.
The only one spice shop on the list is bought with Yuli Xiang, and the only ones who bought it were the son of the Minister of Rites and the daughter of an inconspicuous merchant.
The merchant has nothing to do with them, but the eldest daughter of the Li family died of poisoning, while the second daughter bought the spice that was tempted by poison. This is interesting.
"Li Weizhong, what's going on?" The emperor punched the table in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I don't know!" Li Weizhong knelt down on the ground with a pounce, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, and said tremblingly.
"Rushuang, what's going on? Why don't you explain it clearly to the emperor?" Li Weizhong roared at Li Rushuang behind him.
"Emperor, father, I, I just smelled Yu Lixiang's question when I was shopping that day and bought some, so I bought some back. I don't know what Yi Luoxiang or poison. My relationship with my elder sister has always been good, so how could I harm my elder sister? Please be clear about the emperor, my elder sister really doesn't know anything."
Li Rushuang stepped forward and knelt down, crying to the emperor with a grievance and pitiful look on his face.
"Do you know, you will know if you have seen her." Baili Mochen ignored Li Rushuang's quibbling and suddenly spoke.
"Father, my son, I accidentally saved someone a few days ago, which may be related to this case." Baili Mochen said respectfully to the emperor.
"Oh, bring it up!" The emperor nodded and signaled Baili Mochen to bring the person up.
Baili Mochen waved his hand and someone brought a woman in.
This person is Li Ruyun, a third lady from the Li family whom he had not seen a few days ago.
"Yun'er, where have you been? Why haven't you been home for so long? I thought my father..." Li Weizhong's voice was choked when he saw Li Ruyun.
He has lost one daughter and can no longer lose the second one.
"My sister, please see the emperor, see King Yao." Li Ruyun stepped forward and knelt down and stood up until the emperor waved his hand.
"Father!" stepped aside and said respectfully.
At this time, Fang was shocked and knew that today was probably over.
"After saying that, do you know what's going on with this case?" the emperor asked with a strong murderous aura that belongs to the king.
"If you want to go back to the emperor, my elder sister's death has nothing to do with this Miss Duan. Everything was done by my second sister and wife."
Li Ruyun didn't know if it was because she became calm after experiencing life and death, or what was wrong.
He actually said what he said without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to her nonsense. She was sick before and always liked to talk nonsense." Fang hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the emperor, and said anxiously.
God knows how she felt when she saw Li Ruyun the moment she saw it, it was as terrifying as seeing a ghost.
The emperor waved his hand to stop Fang's defense, and he had already made a decision in his heart, but turned around and asked Li Ruyun.
"Is that true? Where is the evidence?" The emperor looked at Li Ruyun with an unknown look.
"The little woman is the evidence. Yi Luoxiang was the wife who threatened the wife's life and ordered the girl to take it to her elder sister for drinks. Now I still have some medicine powder here, so the emperor can let someone test it. Because I was sick, I almost missed their secrets, so my wife and second sister were about to get rid of me. If I hadn't met Prince Yao by chance and saved me, I would have been a dead soul under a knife at this moment."
Li Ruyun finished speaking slowly, and glanced at the Fang family's mother and daughter, with full of regret and hatred in her eyes.
The guard next to the emperor stepped forward and took the small medicine bottle from Li Ruyun's hand, turned around and left, and after a while, he came back and whispered something in the emperor's ear, and the emperor's face immediately became even more ugly.
"Bold Fang, as a mistress in the family, you are so vicious and poisoned by your daughter. You are so vicious and you are so sinister and you are so sinless." Fang, who was in the court with an angry look on the emperor, shouted.
"The emperor, it is all the fault of the ministers who know the crime. All of this is done by the ministers and it is not about Shuang'er's business. Please let Shuang'er go for Shuang'er's sake because of his young and ignorant."
Fang knew that he could not escape death this time, but he still wanted to keep her beloved daughter.
Unexpectedly, she had been working hard in the back home for so many years and would have fallen into today's life, and she didn't know who was falling into it.
Although she was unwilling to accept it, she had no power to turn the world back and only asked the emperor to let her daughter go.
At this time, the emperor was looking through the confessions of the people who wanted to kill Li Ruyun before. It even mentioned that Fang had raised more than a hundred people in private. These people could be said to be thugs or private soldiers.
The veins on the emperor's forehead swelled up, which was a rebellious thing. A woman dared to raise so many people in the capital. What is this intention?
Damn it, it's damn. Did you take him as an emperor seriously?
The emperor looked at the testimony in his hand and his anger became more and more intense.
Finally, he slapped the case in front of him hard.
"The person who came here dismissed Li Weizhong from the position of Minister of Rites and was sent to death prison. Fang and two lesbians from the Li family were admitted to death prison and were sentenced to death. All the property of the Li family was copied into the national treasury, and the rest of the people were all slaves and they were not allowed to leave their ranks for life!"
Li Weizhong didn't know what was going on, so he had already been pulled out of the court ward and dragged out of the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.
Li Weizhong, who reacted, kept shouting to the emperor to spare his life. He didn't know what he had made.
After the emperor finished speaking, Fang had already become like a dead body, stunned in place, and was completely lifeless.
Li Rushuang was still struggling and shouting, "Why should I catch me? Let me go." But who would pay attention to her?
However, Li Ruyun followed the person ahead with a calm look. It seemed that she had known her ending for a long time.
What do you hate most as an emperor? Of course, it is because of being unfaithful to himself and having two hearts. Raising private soldiers in the capital is enough to destroy the nine clans. The emperor's punishment for the Li family is quite light.
This is why the emperor did not want to expose this matter to others, so he acted like this. Once everyone knew it, it would inevitably affect his face and prestige as the emperor.
You know, even a woman can raise so many people under his nose, which shows how incompetent the emperor is.
So 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 rest to Baili Mochen for treatment.
