Chen Qi presented the two letters: "The above are the notes of my father and the prince. If you don't believe it, just ask someone to check it."
Master Fu nodded: "Then test it."
After saying that, he ordered someone to come to get Chen Fuyin's memorial and several autographed letters. Similarly, he also picked up the prince's autographed letter and the memorial with the prince's seal.
The letter written by Chen Fuyin to Chen Qi was indeed written by Chen Fuyin himself and cannot be faked. As for the letter from the prince, although it was not written by the prince, it was stamped with the prince's private seal.
As soon as this result came out, the matter was basically settled.
After Master Fu got the result, he turned to look at King Zhao and Taifu Song.
King Zhao didn't speak, but Taifu Song had a bad look on his face: "As far as I know, there are people outside who forged seals. How can we say that this seal is genuine?!"
An old official who came to help with the inspection said: "Master Taifu, this is unmistakable. Even if the seal is forged, there will be slight deviations, and there is a corner missing on the edge of the prince's private seal."
Taifu Song was so choked by these words that he said everything.
Seeing this, Chen Qi knelt down and begged: "Please, sir, please make the decision for me, the Chen family, and the people of Qingzhou!"
"After my father's death, a new governor named Sun came to Qingzhou. During last year's autumn harvest, he increased the tax revenue by several percent. The people of Qingzhou are having a hard time. If this continues, the people will be miserable!"
Fortunately, it was only a year. In these years, the world was at peace, and people's families also had some savings. Although there were some problems, they were not serious, so the things were not exposed. But if Qingzhou continues to let the prince control it, Then the matter is serious.
"If your Excellency doesn't believe it, just send someone to Qingzhou to verify it. Please make the decision for the people of Qingzhou."
Master Fu said: "I already understand what you said."
At this moment, someone outside hurriedly came and said that the prince had arrived. Master Fu raised his eyes and saw the prince walking in from the gate. Beside him, there were guards.
The prince's face was gloomy, and he looked at Chen Qishi who was kneeling on the ground, like a poisonous snake dormant in the dark.
Mr. Fu did not move in his seat. He bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Highness."
The prince's face was gloomy and he sneered coldly: "Master Fu has such great official authority. He doesn't even show courtesy when he sees Gu."
Logically speaking, although Mr. Fu, the minister of Dali Temple, is one of the nine ministers and has a high official position, the prince is still the prince. When ministers meet the prince, they must bow respectfully.
But now Master Fu is the presiding judge, and the prince is the person under investigation. It would be ridiculous if he left his position to salute the suspect.
This is the court where cases are tried in Dali Temple!
Mr. Fu's expression remained unchanged: "Your Highness is joking. Your Majesty is reviewing the case today. Please bear with me for the inconvenience caused."
Mr. Fu was indeed a little scared in front of the emperor. After all, he was the monarch and he was a minister. If he was not careful, he would lose his life.
Although the emperor became more reasonable and considerate of his subordinates after he ascended the throne, Master Fu still remembered how many of his subordinates died when the emperor ascended the throne, and the streets of the imperial city were dyed red.
But if it is the prince, Mr. Fu is not afraid. After this incident, it is still unknown whether the prince can keep his position as prince.
The prince's eyes were cold: "Joking, what I don't like the most is joking. Mr. Dali Temple, you are so brave, even I dare to question you."
Mr. Fu said: "This matter was ordered by His Majesty. If His Majesty has any dissatisfaction, feel free to tell His Majesty."
After hearing this, the prince's face became even more gloomy and frightening. He never dreamed that the emperor of Dong Zhao, his father, would have people come to interrogate him, the crown prince of the country, and even want to give him conviction.
When it comes to the case of Qingfeng Courtyard, the emperor asked him to reflect, which made him feel uneasy, but he also knew that the incident was over, and he would come out of the East Palace sooner or later, and he would still be his crown prince.
But when the Qingzhou incident was exposed, the situation was very unfavorable for him.
Master Fu said: "Your Highness, the Chen family is suing you for killing the Chen family and oppressing the people of Qingzhou. Is this true?!"
The prince naturally refused to admit it: "It's a joke. You stay alone and help your father to govern the world. How can you oppress the people?!"
"Let's talk about the affairs of the Chen family of the former Qingzhou Prefecture. I have also heard about it. The whole family died in a fire. It is really pitiful, but what does this matter have to do with Gu?!"
Mr. Fu said: "Your Highness, it is said that someone saw that Mr. Sun Hesun, who is beside your Highness, went to Qingzhou and met with Chen Fuyin. I wonder if this is the case?!"
There was not much cover-up about Sun He's trip to Qingzhou, but everyone in the Chen family was dead. Officials in the city and even some ordinary people knew about it.
Sun He was the prince's cousin, and he was on errands for the prince. He went to Qingzhou, so he must be on errands for the prince.
The prince said: "I did go there. I had some things for him to do. Even if he went, it had nothing to do with the Chen family."
Lord Fu raised a letter in his hand: "Master Sun once went to see Chen Fuyin and asked Chen Fuyin to work for His Highness and collect some money for His Highness. This is the letter that the Prince gave to Chen Fuyin. Your Highness can recognize it. ?!”
When the prince saw this, his expression changed. He had sent people to look for this letter before, but could not find it. Sun He had to order people to set a fire and burn the Chen family together with the letter. Clean and tidy.
Unexpectedly, a letter he thought was gone would appear in Dali Temple as evidence against him.
Master Fu said: "Chen Fuyin knew that if he rejected His Highness, the Chen family would be in trouble, but Chen Fuyin could not do such things as oppressing his people, so he gave the letter to his son who was traveling far away."
"Your Highness, after seeing this letter, do you have anything else to say? Maybe you want me to read the contents of the letter to Your Highness one by one. There is also His Highness's seal on it."
Mr. Fu's face was cold: "There is also this letter, which is the final letter written by Chen Fuyin to his son Chen Qi. Your Highness, would you like me to read it and find out how Chen Fuyin knew that the Chen family was in danger? Let Chen Qi The further you run, the better.”
"The handwriting on this letter belongs to Chen Fuyin. Could it be that His Highness wants to say that Chen Fuyin would set up this trap to harm you before he died?!"
When the prince heard this, his face suddenly turned blue and white, and he looked extremely ugly. He really didn't know that Chen Qi still had such important evidence in his hands.
Master Fu said: "Your Highness, do you admit these two things or not?!"
The prince's face turned pale, and his face changed several times. He frowned and said, "I'll admit it if I admit it. If I don't admit it, I won't admit it if I haven't done it!"
"That seal is a forgery. It's Chen Fuyin's final letter. I don't know who he took refuge in. He risked the lives of his whole family and wanted to harm an orphan!"
