Everyone present thought that Qin Feng was trying to pull something off again, and couldn't help but hold their breath.
As a result, Qin Feng's words made everyone stagger out of the way.
The Minister of Dali Temple stroked his trembling beard, feeling so angry!
"You brat... Ahem, Qin Feng, this is the important place of the Court of Punishment. You are not allowed to talk nonsense. Don't say anything irrelevant to the case."
"If you don't know how to restrain yourself, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The stakes in tonight's trial are unprecedentedly high.
The heroes of the national war, the Duke, the prince, and the Taibao are all involved. No matter what the outcome is, it will be enough to shake the entire Kyoto and even the beams.
In such a serious and even dangerous situation, Qin Feng still had time to joke around.
I don't know how courageous this kid is, even if the mountain collapses in front of him, his expression remains unchanged.
Or... short-sighted!
Li Qian and Lin Taibao were also so angry that their faces turned ugly.
Qin Feng, a bastard, actually showed his favor to the Dali Temple minister who was presiding over the case in public. This should be put aside elsewhere and dealt with first.
However, Qin Feng looked confident and confident, as if he regarded Dali Temple as his home.
If the Minister of Dali Temple hadn't scolded him immediately, Li Qian would have really thought that Qin Feng and the Minister of Dali Temple had some shady relationship in private.
Li Yong on the side looked at Qin Feng with a half-smile.
Since Qin Feng returned to the capital, he has almost broken the sky in Kyoto. Now with the knife clamped on his neck, he is still so calm and composed.
Talent!
In order to prevent Qin Feng from saying anything shocking again, the minister of Dali Temple did not dare to hesitate and quickly opened the file.
"The case of Xie Bi's foreign affairs has conclusive evidence. The secret letter jointly submitted by His Highness the Second Highness and Lin Taibao proves that Xie Bi secretly communicated with Chen Si, the Beidi envoy, in order to seek glory and wealth."
"In the letter, Xie Bi promised to provide covert help to Chen Si during the peace talks, thereby harming Daliang's interests."
"This confidential letter has been reviewed by officials from the Evidence Department, and the handwriting is indeed written by Xie Bi."
"Although there are no witnesses in this case, Xie Bi can be convicted based on physical evidence alone."
After reciting the facts of the case, the Minister of Dali Temple picked up the "Secret Letter of Collaboration with the Enemy" as an important exhibit from the table.
A pair of sharp eyes stared at Xie Bi without anger or authority.
"Xie Bi, I would like to ask you, can you admit that this secret letter was written by you?"
"If you don't admit it, you can provide evidence to refute it."
The core of the case lies in this confidential letter.
If Xie Bi can prove his innocence, this secret letter has nothing to do with him. It can not only clear the suspicion, but also turn Li Qian's army back.
On the contrary, this secret letter alone is enough to convict Xie Bi of death.
Xie Bi stared at the secret letter in the hand of the Dali Temple Minister with extremely firm eyes.
"This so-called evidence is definitely not from my hand. Someone must have copied my handwriting to frame me."
"Since the officials of the Evidence Department have reviewed this letter, it means that the person who copied it has reached the level of perfection."
"The handwriting is no different from mine."
"If you can't catch the person who copied it, I can't get rid of it even if I jump into the Yellow River."
"And the person who framed it was able to create this secret letter, which means that his actions were extremely secretive. The person who copied it must have been silenced."
Xie Bi's words are not unreasonable, but being reasonable is not enough. After all, the court only looks at evidence.
Dali Temple Qing's eyes were clear. Since he was sitting in this position, he had to be fair and objective.
He will never favor Xie Bi because of his special relationship with Qin Feng.
If Xie Bi really committed treason, he would not hesitate to execute Xie Bi.
But correspondingly, he will never allow anyone to frame Xie Bi.
"The suspect Xie Bi's claims are unfounded, but is there any evidence?"
Xie Bi has never been a person who likes to stalk. Faced with the question from the Minister of Dali Temple, he blurted out without any hesitation.
"I have no certificate."
As soon as he said this, it seemed that the entire trial court was echoing with Li Qian's laughter.
Li Gan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"After all, it's not just empty talk?"
"Xie Bi, you were a tough man back then. Why don't you have the courage to take action now?"
"Could it be that the good days in Kyoto have worn away your ambition?"
"Haha, with the irrefutable evidence right in front of us, how can we allow you to make empty arguments?"
Lin Taibao on the side stared at Xie Bi with sharp eyes, as if he were looking at a corpse.
At the same time, I sneered in my heart.
The person who copied it had already been buried alive by his subordinates.
No matter how powerful Qin Feng and Xie Bi are, they can never find anyone who can copy it.
Without this most important witness, Xie Bi would never be able to reverse the case!
Lin Taibao already has a winning chance.
"Bold Xie Bi, since you said it was someone who harmed you, just tell him his name!"
"I see, you old man, you are obviously greedy for life and afraid of death, and you will retract your confession before you die."
"A disloyal and unjust person like you should be executed by Lingchi."
Lin Taibao was truly a cunning man, deliberately irritating Xie Bi and forcing him to bite back.
Everyone knew that the people who framed Xie Bi were Lin Taibao and Li Qian, but so what?
There is no evidence. Just by speaking, as long as you dare to accuse Lin Taibao and Li Qian, you can accuse Xie Bi of "framing the prince and important ministers."
Faced with the pressing steps of Li Qian and Lin Taibao, Xie Bi was not fooled. Even when he was kneeling on the ground, he kept his body straight and neither humble nor arrogant.
"Justice lies in the heart of the people!"
Li Qian snorted softly: "What a fair thing."
"In this case, it is natural that it is just and fair to punish your traitor who has communicated with foreign countries to death!"
The Minister of Dali Temple frowned slightly. Although he knew very well in his heart that Xie Bi was wrongly accused, how could he reverse the case without evidence?
This night trial was originally an opportunity given to Qin Feng by Emperor Liang.
In order to appease Qin Feng, let Qin Feng serve Emperor Liang again, and intimidate all the wealthy families.
If the case cannot be overturned, or even becomes self-defeating, then the matter will be serious.
And looking at this posture, it is obvious that Li Qian and Lin Taibao don't care about the future of Liang, they only care about being in power.
The situation was extremely unfavorable to Xie Bi.
Xie Yuner, who had been listening in the next room, had his heart in his throat.
A pair of fists as white as snow, clenched tightly.
Xie Yun'er had long been mentally prepared. It would not be easy to reverse the case, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Especially Li Qian and Lin Taibao knew clearly that Emperor Liang intended to settle the feud with Qin Feng.
However, for the sake of his own career and future, he still left no room at all and was bent on putting Xie Bi to death.
Xie Yun'er's heart was completely clenched.
Just when Xie Yuner was about to rush out and defend Xie Bi, he was grabbed by a small hand.
