Although Zhao Shanqian was a son of Prince Liu Yan, and he and Xia Jingying, the Minister of Household Affairs, were officials in the same dynasty. Although they were colleagues, they rarely met each other. If it weren't for Xia Jingying's thorough investigation of the treasury deficit case, the two of them would have rarely met each other this time. intersection. This time his son Xia Tong committed a crime, which gave Zhao Shanqian even more headache. He looked at Li Jun in the hall and asked lightly: "Li Jun, did you hear it outside just now?"
"I heard them all!"
Xia Tong was stunned, why did he hear everything? Could it be that he had been waiting outside? He swallowed slightly uneasily.
Li Jun continued to answer: "I heard it really down below, but I don't dare to speak nonsense." After saying that, he knelt down and worshiped, looking frightened and uneasy, "Even if I have ten courages, I don't dare to say it. !”
Zhao Shanqian's stern eyes were full of surprise, "Just say it, I have the final say!"
Li Jun raised his head and looked at Mr. Fu Yin who was sitting in the hall, and then looked meaningfully at Xia Tong beside him, with a look of fear in his eyes.
"What?" Xia Tong felt uncomfortable and angrily spat out, "Just say it!"
Li Jun made a grimace, "Mr. Xia, then... just tell me?"
Xia Tong uncomfortably avoided Li Jun's eyes and looked at Fuyin Zhao Shanqian in the hall, "If Mr. Fuyin asks you to say it, just say it!"
Li Jun kowtowed to Fu Yin again, "Sir, everything my uncle said is true..."
"What?" Xia Tong's eyes were wide open with bloodshot eyes. He pointed at Li Jun with his trembling right hand and cursed, "Li Jun, what nonsense are you talking about! Never did I ask you to threaten Mr. Li to discuss the purchase of land. Isn't it you..."
"Quiet...Quiet..." Two gavel sounds echoed through the lobby, and Xia Tong became quiet. Zhao Shanqian continued to say sternly, "Let Li Jun finish his words first!"
Xia Tong was so angry that his face turned red and his eyes stared straight at Li Yun. Li Jun completely ignored Xia Tong's expression at this moment and continued: "A few days ago, Mr. Xia and Mr. Fan had some unhappiness because of me. You must have known about it. Later, when Mr. Xia learned that Mr. Fan's trip to the capital was not only He came to thank the emperor and planned to buy land in the southern suburbs of the capital. When he learned that the landowner was his cousin, he thought of taking the land by force to suppress Fan Enyu's spirit. So he thought about it. In this way, he used his father's power in the Ministry of Household Affairs to create two deeds, and asked me to come forward to coerce my cousin to make a deal, and framed Mr. Fan for forging the deeds. I was forced by Xia Tong's power and had no choice but to obey. . Mr. Fan’s deed was also written by Mr. Xia.”
Xia Tong couldn't stand at all, and even became hysterical, "Sir... it's not like this at all... it's not like this..." He was so angry that he became a little incoherent, "It's him... it's him..."
"Who is he?" Zhao Shanqian clapped his hands impatiently.
With a "bang", Xia Tong was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground and exclaimed: "It's him... nonsense! I didn't threaten you at all!"
Although Zhao Shanqian wanted to exonerate Xia Tong, the witness testimony was conclusive and it was difficult to defend him in person. After all, Fan Enyu was not easy to mess with. He sighed secretly, picked up the deed on the desk and showed it, "What about this deed?" What do you say?"
"This deed has nothing to do with me!" Xia Tong shook his head and vehemently denied it. "It was signed by him and Yuan Li and has nothing to do with me!"
Zhao Shanqian put down the deed and continued to ask Li Jun, "That's right! Although the seal of the Ministry of Revenue on this is wrong, the signatures are indeed from Li Yuanwai and Mr. Fan? Since you said there is also a forced conscription of Yuan Li from other places Do you have any real evidence for the official document?"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Tong came back to his senses, and his face turned pale with fright. Although Li Jun added more details to the course of the incident, the official document on land acquisition did exist, and... Xia Tong frowned regretfully.
"Take it with you!" Li Jun calmly took it out from his arms and presented it with both hands, "This official document was given to me by Mr. Xia at that time and asked me to threaten my cousin!"
Zhao Shanqian's face was as dark as water. If he had relied on Li Jun's words just now, the case would have been misjudged and then dropped. Now if this physical evidence is true, then I'm afraid no one can save Li Jun. After all, it was faked by the Ministry of Household Affairs. According to official documents, except for Xia Tong, Fan Enyu and Li Jun do not have this condition. Even if Zhao Shanqian wants to excuse him, he cannot. The case will even implicate Xia Tong's father Xia Jingying. In the small case, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, and in a large case, it is the crime of taking power. crime. Zhao Shanqian lowered his head, frowned helplessly, and waved to the officer.
The officer on duty stepped forward to take the document from Li Jun's hand and presented it to Fu Yin. Zhao Shanqian looked through it carefully and found that it was indeed a land acquisition official document with a seal from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Even the year, month and day were exactly the same as the other document. Now that both witnesses and physical evidence were available, the case had become more complicated. The son of a high-ranking official was guilty of the crime. The case is over. If the verdict is announced immediately, I am afraid that it will not only offend the prince, but if it is not pronounced, it will not be a dereliction of duty. After Zhao Shanqian thought about it, he gritted his teeth and slapped his jaw, and asked Xia Tong in a stern voice: "Xia Tong, the witnesses and physical evidence are here, can you plead guilty?"
Xia Tong was almost desperate at this time, but he thought of his father. Maybe he could ask the prince to save him. Now think carefully about what happened in the past few days, how could it be such a coincidence? He calmed down secretly, and then cried and shouted: "Sir... they designed it to frame me! Li Jun must have been designed by Fan Enyu, they just wanted to frame me..." Although Xia Tong I doubted this, but couldn't connect the various circumstances, so I could only blindly say that it was designed by them.
Li Jun looked at Xia Tongtong innocently: "Mr. Xia, Mr. Fan and I have never met each other. I was beaten up that day. How could I follow his plan to harm you? I'm just reporting the truth."
"That's right!" Zhao Shanqian said, "Since you said they designed to trap you, do you have any evidence?"
"Evidence? Evidence?" Xia Tong tried his best to recall, and suddenly an idea flashed, "Mr. Wu, by the way, Wu Yi can testify that Li Yun was introduced to me..."
"Who is this Wu Yi you are talking about?"
"He is a son of a wealthy businessman in the capital, and I have known each other for a long time. He and Li Jun have also known each other for many years, so Mr. Wu must know whether Li Jun and Fan Enyu are familiar with each other." Xia Tong knew in his heart that Mr. Wu's arrival might not be useful, but as long as he Come forward and help prove that Li Jun and Fan Enyu are old acquaintances, then Li and Fan will be suspected of setting up a trap. The case can at least be delayed for a while longer. In the end, when father and others deal with it, they will have one more piece of evidence. Mr. Wu is an old friend of Xia Tong's who has known him for many years, so he is very confident that as long as he gives Wu Yi a look, he will definitely testify on his behalf.
