Zhao Mengqi obviously wanted more than a little.

So another official came out of the court, followed by two clerks holding the case files.

"The empress, the Imperial City Office, handled the case of Lu Derun and Qian Guozhong's bootstrapping. Feng Yuanqing, Wang Heguang and Xu Wen, who were involved in the case, have confessed.

Li Lu committed suicide due to crimes. According to the complaint, Li Lu was the mastermind of the case. It is said that he was instructed by someone in the court, but the clues were interrupted and there was no way to investigate them in depth.

According to the investigation, Cai An secretly contacted the northern people, including his subordinates in the army and his seizure of letters as evidence.

And during the birthday party of Prince Rong's Mansion, three unknown sea ships docked on the coast near Sanjiangzhai, with soldiers hidden on them, and their purpose was probably to intercept and kill King Zhong."

Now, the ministers began to be uproar. Although the Lu Gan Office did not explicitly explain the connection, when they put it together, they could figure out a conspiracy by looking at it.

The locked King Zhong outside the city to create opportunities for suspected Mongolian armed forces, but the armed forces who might have come from the sea were late, so they failed.

This is treason and rebellion!

And there are clues that point faintly towards the center of the court. If this is the case, a major case can be initiated at any time.

The Luguan Office then continued, "The reason why King Zhong killed Cai An was because when he had already shown his identity, Cai An still shot arrows at King Zhong's guards and ordered his subordinates to aim at King Zhong with crossbows, which was a major suspect of intending to murder!

In any case, it was already a rebellious act to fight against the prince, so it was nothing wrong with King Zhong's killing of Cai An, and the military law that was used during the war!

Originally, after King Zhong killed Cai An, he sent a pension of 500 yuan to the Cai family. At that time, Cai Li had no objection. There were clues that she sued King Zhong because she was instructed by someone. The specific situation has not been determined yet."

Another big piece of information, everyone understood that Cai Li’s complaint was planned, and the court…

Ding Daquan and others began to be deeply frightened. All this shows that all the things they did were under the surveillance of King Zhong!

Afterwards, the clerk behind the Lu Gan Office sent the case files to the train of important officials for review and inspection.

At the same time, a group of suspects involved in the case were escorted out of the waiting-out courtyard. Feng Caosi, Wang Xiansi and Xu Cangsi removed the black squid head and official uniforms, leaving only a white silk mid-lane. They were a little depressed, but there was no sign of being tortured, and their expressions were generally very calm.

There are also a bunch of key witnesses, including Li Lu's official clerk, Wei Guo's 54th commander, the garrison soldiers of Sanjiang Village, fishermen, Cai's neighbors and dozens of people.

This is enough to show that everything listed in the case file can withstand verification and cannot be questioned.

Then Cai Li and Yuan Ze were also taken to the imperial front again.

Zhao Mengqi sat down on the edge of the imperial throne, supporting his legs and hanging his legs, shaking them, without any image, smiling lazily.

"Cai Li, now, are you planning to confess truthfully or continue to deceive the whole world?"

Cai Li, who knew the story of the east window, had already collapsed. When his legs were weak, he fell to the ground and cried, "Your Highness, you are the civilian woman who is stupid and greedy...

Late at night ten days ago, a group of people broke into my house and asked the civilian woman to sue His Highness. Not only did they threaten the lives of the civilian woman's family, but they also promised to give 1,000 guan of money afterwards.

They also said that they didn’t really want to tell the truth to the end, just act as a play and change their words at the right time, and there will be no future troubles. The civilian woman agreed in a daze.

Then they took the family of the women and taught me how to speak and respond. Yesterday, they secretly sent my family to Lin'an and arranged for me to go to Dali Temple to complain this morning. They said that by then, there will naturally be officials who will come to take my case..."

Although the officials present had already guessed, they were still shocked to hear Cai Li's confession.

The onlookers rumored what they saw and heard in circles. Everyone was stunned by this big melon and began to realize that they were completely exploited, not for the little profits of Cai Li's personal interests, but had a bigger conspiracy.

Zhao Mengqi sighed and shook his head, "You woman, you look extremely smart, but you do stupid things. Do you know that if Cai An's case is really handled according to the rules of the court, the punishment of the clan may not be enough, and the whole family will be punished. For the sake of being both women and children, you may be exempted from the punishment of being absent, but you will definitely be demoted to the lowly family. Your two young girls will be charged in the Jiaofangsi.

Perhaps, if I had expressed my intention to investigate deeply at that time, you would have been silenced long ago. Just look at whoever the case involves.

Even if you are threatened and tempted by others, you actually didn’t have the opportunity to tell the truth when you were in the imperial examination. However, you have been obsessed with it and even deceived the officials. This is a serious crime to deceive the emperor.

Now, for the sake of your two daughters, I will give you one last chance and explain all the details. If you can help find out the person behind the scenes, I will ask my father for a pardon and relieve your guilt."

"The people's wife is willing! The people's wife is willing..." Cai Li kowtowed like pounding garlic.

The people from the Imperial City Department took all the Cai Li family and the people they brought with them just now, and only Yuan Ze was left standing there.

"Yuan Qingtian?" Zhao Mengqi's tone was full of ridicule, "I wonder if you have any explanation?"

Yuan Ze's face was dark, but he did not show any fear. "It was a coincidence that Wei Chen encountered this case. He was willing to help Cai Li because of his conscience as an official. He was exploited by her. He was just a temporary missed observation. As for the others, there was absolutely nothing else!"

Perhaps it was because he was used to trial the case and had a strong mentality, or perhaps he still had hope for his accomplices and his tone was still very strict.

"Haha, it's really a push." ​​Zhao Mengqi hummed contemptuously, "You will know later that everything you rely on is just a bubble in front of the lonely!"

After saying that, Zhao Mengqi ignored Yuan Ze, supported himself with his hand, jumped up, patted his butt casually, and looked at the civil and military officials.

"Now, you have seen it and heard it. The truth is also given. Whether it is in accordance with the law of nature and justice, you should know it in your heart."

The ministers had different expressions, some were sudden, some were heavy, some were nervous, and some were gritting their teeth...

But they all knew that although the officials' previous handling of this case was calm, they would eventually leave stains on King Zhong. But now, no one can use this matter to make trouble for King Zhong.

After a brief silence, Xiao Tailai stomped his feet hard and stood up with his head, "Your Highness Zhong! Even if you have no blame in the Cai An case, it is a fact that you beat and dump the money family. You wantonly beat, scold, humiliate the family of meritorious officials, and robbed the family. How dare you say that it is in accordance with the law of heaven and justice!? Meng Sheng said, "If the king treats his ministers like earth, then the ministers will regard the king as enemies." Is Your Highness Zhong going to turn all the civil and military officials into enemies??"

Then the inspector Zhu Yingyuan hurried out, even regardless of tidying up his appearance, and bowed perfunctorily, "Your Highness, you ignore ethical affairs, but your morality is corrupt and everyone despises you! How can you be the crown prince of the Song Dynasty? I dare to be brave, and I would like to ask Your Highness to be aware of yourself and abdicate and give way to the wise!"

Zhao Mengqi on the stage looked at these two "clear streams" and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, there are always unruly people who want to harm the orphan..."
Chapter completed!
