In the dead of night, there is an old house on the outskirts of Qiandu City.
The plaque on it is shaky and covered with cobwebs, and you can only vaguely make out the word "李".
Although this house is in disrepair, it is not small in size, with three entrances and four exits. Even in the suburbs, it is a rare large house.
It can be seen that the Li Mansion was glorious before, but for some unknown reason, it is now completely lonely.
In the main hall of Li Mansion, among the ruins on the ground, stood a man dressed in purple.
Even though the purple clothes are very spacious, the uneven figure under the clothes is still looming and graceful.
Ziyi has been standing here for a long time, as if waiting for someone.
It's just that a long time has passed and no one has come.
It wasn't until the sky turned white that a figure in black slowly appeared from the eaves.
This man is tall and straight, with a tiger's back and a wasp's waist. He has a red tassel gun in his hand, full of murderous intent!
"You waited all night just to summon me. Why?"
"Of course it's to avenge the past!" Ziyi said calmly.
"Hmph, do you still remember the feud back then? I thought you were happy in the palace and didn't miss Shu!" The figure in black sneered.
"Li Jibei, you don't need to provoke me, you are a member of the Li family, and I am naturally a member of the Li family too!"
"I remember the bloody feud back then better than anyone else!"
"I didn't call you here today to argue about who is right and who is wrong."
"If you want revenge, you have your way, and I naturally have mine."
"I called you back. I just found someone who can help us deal with him. We can start preparing for some things."
Hearing this, Li Jibei raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Who is it?"
"The eldest son of Wulinghou Mansion, the fifth-rank Anbei General, Li Changkong!"
"The person standing behind him is the prince!"
When Li Jibei heard this, his eyes widened, and the aura around his body became somewhat disordered.
If you want to fight against that person, a mere fifth-grade General Anbei is naturally not enough, but if the prince is here... it won't be a problem!
While he was still deep in thought, Ziyi took out a letter from his arms and threw it at him.
"What is it?" Li Jibei took it and asked.
"You don't have to worry about it, just give it to Li Changkong. If he trusts me, he will naturally know what to do."
"Why would he believe you?"
Ziyi smiled and said: "He is among the smartest people in the world and will believe it."
"Then what do you think, I will help you?" Li Jibei said coldly.
Ziyi smiled helplessly again, said no more, turned around and left the ruins of Li's Mansion.
Once upon a time, this place was so prosperous.
There are scholars who talk and laugh, but there are no white people in our dealings, that's all.
After Ziyi left, Li Jibei looked at the letter in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he smiled: "Li Changkong, it's quite interesting."
"You better have some skills!"
…
Three days later, the Ministry of Punishment.
Emperor Jing Xing sat high in his official position, and to his left sat the three elders of the cabinet and Zhong Yu.
Zhong Prison did not have such treatment, but considering that this was the place where the Ministry of Punishment tried the case, as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he was in charge of the trial today, so he could sit here.
Sitting on the right side of Emperor Jing Xing were Prince Liu Yu and Li Changkong.
As for Liu Jing, he didn't even come.
This made Liu Yu very unhappy.
He felt slighted.
"It's getting late and everyone who is supposed to come has arrived, let's get started." Emperor Jing Xing said.
Hearing this, Zhong Yu stood up and said, "Bring the traffickers in!"
After a while, Luan Fu, Hao Chang and Chen Shi were brought in, all tied up.
Press down on the floor and don't move.
Zhong Yu waved his hand, and the six guards let go of the three of them.
When the three of them raised their heads, Liu Yu immediately frowned, feeling something was wrong.
Luan Fu was very arrogant when he was taken away.
Although he is thin, he has a good-looking face and good energy.
But now, his gray hair was hanging down, his eyes were cloudy and lifeless, and he looked desperate.
Including Hao Chang and Chen Shi, the same is true.
Liu Yu couldn't help it, and immediately stood up and asked: "Master Zhong, I have seen Luan Fu before, but he didn't look like this."
"In your punishment department, someone secretly committed a lynching?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yu's heart immediately skipped a beat.
He knew that his son's previous messing up had already made His Royal Highness very unhappy.
Now in front of His Majesty, the abuse of lynching of important criminals will be carried out.
The future destiny of their Zhong family is basically at an end.
So he immediately shook his head and said quickly: "I don't dare!"
"Luan Fu and the other three are the key criminals appointed by His Majesty, which is of great significance."
"I have given orders to everyone in the Criminal Department, they must be strictly monitored, and there must be no violation of the rules!"
"Abuse of lynching is absolutely impossible."
"But..." Liu Yu wanted to say more, but Li Changkong tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Liu Yu turned around and saw Li Changkong shaking his head at him.
Seeing this, Liu Yu had no choice but to retreat.
Li Changkong was relieved when he saw this.
Previously, Zhong Yu really wanted to surrender to the prince, and Li Changkong was sure that the criminal department was definitely the department with the least hands and feet of King Jing.
As for Zhong Yunfeng messing up the Rouge matter, Liu Yu and the others didn't know about it, but he himself was well-informed, and it was probably related to Wei Xiang.
Zhong Yunfeng... suffered a terrible disaster and became the one who took the blame.
Looking at it this way, the Criminal Department is still worth wooing.
But now, this case clearly has little to do with the Ministry of Punishment. At most, it is being tried in the Ministry of Punishment.
The prince wanted to do this in front of His Majesty.
Doesn't this force people to switch sides to Liu Jing's side?
After seeing that the prince had calmed down, Zhong Yu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and directly yelled at the three people in the audience: "You and the three of you are aware of your guilt?"
When Luan Fu heard this, he was immediately frightened. Looking at Zhong Yu and Emperor Jing Xing who were sitting high on the stage, tears immediately flowed down his face.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
But after mumbling for a long time, he didn't say even a single word.
Finally, he looked in the direction of the prince, sighed helplessly, then raised his head and laughed: "Convicted!"
"Hahaha, I am guilty, I did everything!"
"It was I, together with Hao Chang, who forced Chen Shi to secretly use oil, coal ink and ingot seals to make counterfeit banknotes and sell them everywhere."
"I did all of this!"
Luan Fu looked crazy, as if he was crazy, and said hysterically.
Hao Chang on the side also cried bitterly when he heard this, kowtowed his head crazily, and shouted: "Confess your guilt! I also admit my guilt! We all did it!"
"I was the one who set the fire in the printing and ink bureau! I was the only one in the docket at the time. Who else could it be besides me?"
"Haha, hahaha!"
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"
Hao Chang's cries seemed to contain huge disappointment and... resentment!
