Su Ming was so angry that he said: "This is nonsense. Although I am in charge of important affairs for the emperor, I will never bend the law for personal gain! King Li, please don't listen to the slander and slander me!"
"This is not what anyone else said, it was your daughter who said it.
Besides, Mr. Su, do you think this all happened too coincidental, why Aunt Zhang’s son who was fine suddenly killed someone, and why did Su Changxiao know about it in time?"
Chu Xuanchen said.
Su Ming was startled and glanced at Su Changxiao suspiciously. Could it be that she planned this?
However, he still pretended not to know, "King Li, I don't understand what you mean.
I am so busy with my affairs, how can I know about these trivial matters as big as sesame seeds and mung beans?"
"It doesn't matter if Mr. Su doesn't understand, the facts will help you understand."
At this point, Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Aunt Zhang said before that her son Liu Cheng got drunk and wanted to insult Wei Lin's wife Li when he was drinking at his friend Wei Lin's house.
As a result, Li refused, and Liu Cheng accidentally strangled her to death.
Before I came to the Ministry of Punishments just now, I had sent people to investigate this matter. I believe there will be results soon.
However, before the results come out, we need to interrogate the parties first."
After speaking, Chu Xuanchen ordered: "Come here, go to the prison quickly and bring Liu Cheng and Wei Lin. I will try them personally."
"Ah..." Su Changxiao suddenly exclaimed when she heard this, and her body began to tremble with guilt.
When Mo Li went to pick up someone, Su Ming quickly called a doctor and asked the doctor to bandage Su Changxiao's eyes slightly.
Soon, Moli took people to the prison to take Liu Cheng and Wei Lin to court.
When Geng Tian saw this, his face turned dark with anger.
This Ministry of Punishment was his territory, and Chu Xuanchen seemed to be in a deserted place, crossing him to pick up prisoners in the prison.
But he couldn't refute, so he could only sit there with a sullen face.
When Liu Cheng and Wei Lin came to the court, Chu Xuanchen asked, "Liu Cheng, do you think Li's death has anything to do with you?
Did you fail to insult her and strangle her to death?"
Liu Cheng was beaten with wounds all over his body. When he saw Chu Xuanchen, hope suddenly appeared in his eyes. He hurriedly said: "Please tell me, the prince, I didn't kill Li. I didn't kill Li at all. I was killed by him."
Innocent!"
"Bold Liu Cheng, how dare you change your confession in court even though you have already recruited someone!"
At this time, Geng Tian stood up, pointed at Liu Cheng and said angrily.
"Master Geng, who said you can't change your confession after being recruited?
Maybe he was beaten into a trap?"
After Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, he looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Liu Cheng, don't be afraid. If you didn't kill someone, you can tell them and I will make the decision for you."
When Liu Cheng saw Chu Xuanchen there, it was as if he saw a backer.
He nodded hurriedly and said angrily: "Your Majesty, I really didn't kill anyone.
That night Wei Lin invited me to his house for a drink. Unexpectedly, after a few drinks, I became drunk.
When I woke up, I found that I was sleeping disheveled on Wei Lin's bed, and his wife Li was lying next to me.
At that time, I was scared to death. I wanted to wake up Ms. Li and ask about the situation, but unexpectedly I found that Ms. Li was already dead.
At this time, Wei Lin rushed in, said that I had killed Li, and took me to the Ministry of Punishment."
"You really didn't kill anyone?"
Chu Xuanchen asked.
Liu Cheng nodded firmly, "Yes, Your Majesty, I really did not kill Mr. Li.
As soon as I was taken to the prison, the jailers tortured me severely and made me confess to the murder.
I didn't kill anyone, so of course I wouldn't do it, but they tortured me so severely that I couldn't bear the pain, so I did it!"
