Chapter 1383 Can't deny it
The emperor looked through the account book, which clearly recorded how much money the Liu family had laundered through the Qin family over the years.
Although they are more restrained than the Tan family, they still make huge sums of money for nothing, which is always hated by people.
The emperor slammed the account book to the ground, and several members of the Liu family quickly knelt down.
Liu Beinian said directly: "Your Majesty, the Liu family has worked diligently and devoted all their efforts for the imperial court for so many years. There must be something fishy about this matter. Could you please let me take a look at the account books that are the so-called evidence of the Liu family's crimes?"
Even at this time, he was still able to remain calm in the face of danger. He did not feel that the death of the Liu family had come, but was trying to find a way to break through.
The emperor did not refuse, but just snorted angrily.
Just as Liu Beinian was checking the account books, Mo Junzhuo said again: "The emperor has been informed that Mrs. Tan, who has been executed, once accused Mrs. Liu of participating in the poisoning case of the biological mother of the King of Chu, the former Crown Princess. The evidence at that time
It is not sufficient, so there has been no follow-up. However, just yesterday, it can be proved that Mrs. Liu was indeed involved in it and played a key role. She took the initiative to surrender to the Prince of Chu's Mansion..."
As soon as Liu Beinian heard this, he knew that this was probably the chess piece that Mrs. Tan had laid in advance, but it should have been many years ago.
"The Sword Comes"
This kind of problem left over many years ago was not informed to him in advance and he was not given enough preparation time. It is indeed a bit difficult for him to deal with it temporarily now.
Moreover, he still doesn't know who this person is.
Liu Yi was confused, why did he still hold on to him?
Tan Jiapeng is already dead, shouldn't Mrs. Tan's testimony be over? Why continue to pursue it? Should a dead person be taken so seriously?
He really didn't understand. Could it be that the Liu family really couldn't be stabilized for a while?
Liu Beinian had already discovered the loopholes in the account books at this time, because this was the money transaction between the Qin family and the Liu family, so every money was handled by Mrs. Liu and her people. This should be what Duke Zhen Guo wanted back then.
OK.
Liu Beinian felt a little reassured, there was a way.
I forgot that these skills were all taught by my grandfather.
I have to say that in this matter, compared with Mr. Tan Ge, Zhen Guo Gong really made as much concessions as he did.
Liu Yi said at this time: "This matter is strange. How come the witness who testified against my wife did not come out when Mrs. Tan was alive, and she had to go to Prince Chu's Mansion to surrender. It seems that on the day Mrs. Tan died, Princess Chu went to prison.
I said a lot of things when I saw her off."
Liu Yi's attitude was to emphasize that this witness must be fake and was arranged by the Chu Palace.
Now everyone knows that the Chu Palace does not like the Liu family, so it is possible to do anything.
"That's right, His Royal Highness the King of Chu did not come to court today. Since the witness was provided by their Prince Chu's Mansion, why did His Highness the King of Chu not come himself, but instead troubled Prince Ning?"
Liu Dongchu was also unwilling to give up. After Liu Beinian came back, he already felt that Dafang seemed to have no status in the Liu family, so I had to fight for it with my remaining body.
In the court, if you hear something unfavorable to your mother, you can't treat it as if you haven't heard it.
After hearing the Liu family's "reasonable argument", Mo Junzhuo answered calmly: "Uncle Da Guo thinks that if the witness does not come out in time, he will not be considered a witness? Does he know that the emperor will issue an execution order one day?
Mrs. Tan? She has been hiding for so many years. She is naturally afraid of the power of your Liu family. She has time to think about it, isn't it right? Maybe it was Mrs. Tan's death that made her sober. If she continues to hide, maybe she will be next...
"
Liu Yi was immediately choked. They had not dealt with Prince Ning before, but he was so difficult to deal with.
"General Liu, why do you have to worry about who brought the witness? Could it be that when the King of Chu brought her, she was a witness, but when this prince brought her, she was not?"
Liu Dongchu was quickly defeated and had no way to deal with it.
Mo Junzhuo took the opportunity to request: "Your Majesty, this minister has been brought here, can she be allowed to go to the palace?"
The emperor wished that she would appear earlier, so he quickly said: "It's accurate..."
Soon, the mysterious woman appeared in the main hall.
She knelt there in fear, her voice trembling: "I have seen the emperor..."
A slave? Not a commoner?
Liu Yi was a little confused and turned to look at the woman.
The woman didn't dare to raise her head at this time, so he didn't see clearly.
"Who are you? What grudges do you have against my wife?" Liu Yi asked.
Mo Junzhuo reminded: "Uncle, the emperor hasn't spoken yet..."
Liu Yi quickly turned around and explained: "Your Majesty, I am a little anxious when I hear someone slandering my wife. Please forgive me..."
The emperor ignored him and said directly to the woman: "Raise your head and answer my question..."
"Slave, I obey..."
The woman slowly raised her head, still testing whether her angle was not too high.
"Can you testify that Mrs. Liu participated in the murder of the former Crown Princess?" the emperor asked directly, without confirming her identity first.
The Liu family were very nervous, and only Liu Beinian was thinking about how to explain.
"Go back to the emperor, this servant can prove..."
Liu Yi couldn't help it anymore and turned around and said: "Nonsense——"
When he saw the woman's face, he felt a little dazed.
Although too many years have passed, he still has an impression of that outline.
"Wanmei?"
This name already proved that she knew the woman in front of her.
"Yes, sir, I am Lamei, the lady's maid, you didn't expect that I am still alive..."
Liu Yi was completely confused, and even Liu Jian recognized the wintersweet.
The ministers knew what was going on. This should be an insider that the Liu family wanted to deal with back then but failed to handle it well.
When Liu Yi blurted out the name of wintersweet, Liu Beinian decided not to waste any effort to protect Mrs. Liu.
"You...you are not her, you just look like her..." Liu Yi wanted to explain again.
Lamei said: "Master, of course you hope that I am not her, so that no one can testify about what she did back then... It's a pity that in order to cover up the secret, you wanted to kill me, but you didn't really kill me.
There should be such a day... Your Majesty, this slave is here
There was also the correspondence between Mrs. Liu and the Tan family back then, in which she was planning the poisoning. Moreover, they wanted to blame the Queen and asked her to hand over the bowl of poison without her knowledge.
With the death of the Crown Princess, I now have the means to blackmail the Queen..."
Unexpectedly, this wintersweet not only testified against the Liu family, but also perfectly picked out Empress Liu. These things have been reflected in the letter, and no one can deny it.
