In Liangdu, a young master dressed in white was walking on the street. There were bustling crowds on the street. She looked around, and the crowd seemed to be rushing in one direction. The corners of her pale lips raised, and she shook the folding fan in her hand. It seemed that today
This Liangdu city is quite lively.
She folded the folding fan, raised her head slightly, and looked at the sky. Maybe it was because summer was coming soon, and the sun seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Is this just like this bank embezzlement case? It has already entered.
The stage is now at its peak, and what awaits is the final judgment.
Just when she was about to move forward, there was suddenly a sound of horse hooves hitting the ground behind her, and the neighing of the fierce horses was deafening. Listening to this sound, Yun Yan frowned slightly, and the people in Liangdu were becoming more and more bold.
Well, horses are not allowed on the streets. These nobles are really lawless.
"Child, my child, don't do it..." Suddenly a shrill woman's voice came from behind, and the voice was full of despair.
After hearing this, Yun Yan suddenly turned around. At the end of his gaze, a five or six year old child stood in the middle of the street. Oncoming were two or three people riding tall horses. The person at the front was Xuan Yi.
Wearing a brocade robe, he had a face with sharp edges, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were full of sinister looks. He waved his riding crop and looked at the child in front of him. He suddenly tightened the reins. However, the distance was too close and he couldn't pull it at all.
Live horse.
Just as the horse was about to step on the child, a white figure suddenly passed by. She hugged the child and stepped aside.
"Hiss—" The man in brocade clothes frowned tightly, with a terrifyingly gloomy face. He pulled the reins, and the horse under him spread its front legs and roared, moving around uneasily. The crowd around him retreated when he saw this.
When you are far away, you dare not get close.
Yunyan put the child on the ground and whispered: "Are you okay?"
The child looked at Yun Yan, was stunned for a moment, and then started to cry loudly. Upon seeing this, the child's mother ran over quickly and hugged the child aside.
The man on horseback glanced at the man in white on the ground, his brows furrowed, and suddenly his mellow voice came, "Are you okay?" His tone was cold.
Listening to this voice, Yun Yan looked at the crying child hiding in her mother's arms. She frowned slightly and felt anger rising in her heart. She turned around and looked at the handsome face of the man on horseback.
His face was full of indifference, and he asked, "If I hadn't held this child away just now, do you think he would be fine?"
The man on the horse's face darkened. He looked at the man in white in front of him and said nothing. Instead, a man in a strong suit behind him rode forward, looked at Yun Yan and shouted: "Wangyou, you know you are following
Who speaks?"
Do you know who you are talking to? Listening to this sentence, it brought back some memories of Yunyan, as if someone had said this to her when she first entered Liangdu a month ago.
The corners of Yun Yan's lips curled up slightly, and she said with a chuckle: "Is it because of who you are that you can ignore other people's lives? Even animals know the value of life, but people themselves don't know that." She looked at the horse with a mocking look.
man.
The man in black clothes and brocade robes paused for a moment, and his thick eyebrows knitted together. Was he scolding him for being worse than a beast? The man behind him looked at Yun Yan and said angrily: "You..."
He pulled out the sword from his waist and was about to take action.
At this moment, the man in black robes and brocade robes suddenly turned around, and glared at the person next to him with his sinister eyes. The man paused and backed away respectfully.
"What do you want?" Looking at the young man in white in front of him, the man in black clothes asked in a deep voice, with no change of emotion visible in his dark eyes.
A smile appeared at the corner of Yun Yan's lips, and she said calmly: "It's not what I want, but what you want. It seems you should be the one to apologize for almost bumping into someone."
The man in Xuanyi tightened his eyes and looked at the calm man in front of him. Do you want him to apologize? This is the first time someone dares to talk to him like this, and he is still a thin man. But his eyes are particularly sharp.
, people dare not look down upon them. There seems to be a smell of gunpowder smoke rising between the two people.
After a while, the man in black clothes suddenly withdrew his gaze and said to the men behind him, "Give that child a hundred taels of silver."
Silver? Hearing this, Yun Yan snorted, turned around, and said with a sneer: "It is indeed the way people like you do things." She looked ahead. Those princes and grandsons probably thought that money could solve everything.
However, she turned her head and glanced at the woman holding the child. Maybe money was more important to her than an apology. Thinking of this, she walked directly forward.
Looking at the young man in white clothes leaving in front of him, the man in black clothes darkened his eyes. What did he mean by this kind of person?
A man behind him whispered: "This man..."
"Don't worry about him yet." The man in black clothes said calmly, looking at the man in white clothes in front of him, this was the first time he saw such a look, as clear as a spring and as cold as a bone, but that look made people want to explore, but
He had a premonition that he would meet him again soon. After thinking for a moment, he waved his riding crop and ran straight ahead.
Looking at the fast horse leaving her side, Yun Yan raised her eyes and met the eyes of the person on the horse. She was frightened. That person had a murderous aura all over his body. If he was a killer, how could he?
Who dares to ride into Liangdu with such arrogance? Who is he?
At the entrance of the government office, where could you still see the entrance? The outside was already surrounded by crowds. Looking at the people surrounding them, Yun Yan stood aside and sighed slightly in her heart. In fact, she had no idea about the outcome even after she came.
There is no impact, but I always want to see what happens to Gao Qi!
Looking at the crowd, Yunyan looked for the place where the crowd was loose. She used her inner strength to make the crowd move out of the way. Then her thin body slowly squeezed in. Standing at the corner of the gate, she relaxed.
In one breath, it’s really not easy to get in.
There was a "pop" sound, and in the courtroom, Li Gongye suddenly slapped the hall in shock and shouted angrily: "Who is there in the hall? You didn't even kneel down when you saw me!"
Under the court, a man in white prison uniform was kneeling there. He was unkempt and his face was full of dejection. But next to him, a man in splendid clothes stood there. He was completely different from the man kneeling on the ground. He
With a shy belly and head held high, he looked at Li Congye and said with a sneer: "My uncle's official position is more than a little higher than yours, so I'm going to kneel to you? I'm afraid Mr. Li won't be able to sit firmly on this chair."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar outside the court, and everyone was indignant. Some people even directly cursed: "This kind of corrupt official is so arrogant at this time, he should be dragged out and beheaded."
"That's right. He is so rude in court. Do you really think it's great that he is the uncle of the state?"
"Is there any royal law for this?"
…
After hearing this, Yun Yan raised her lips slightly and glanced at the angry expressions of the people beside her. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at Gao Qi in the court. She wanted to see how long he could remain arrogant.
With a "pop" sound, Li Congye clapped his hands again. He looked at Gao Qi and said coldly: "Come here, take the criminal Gao Qi and kneel on the ground."
At this order, two government officials immediately walked out from the ceremonial guards on both sides. They went directly over and pressed Gao Qi to the ground.
Gao Qi waved his hands and shouted loudly: "How dare you, a little prince, to be so rude to my uncle? His Japanese uncle will never let you go if he comes out."
"Here, there are no uncles, only kings!" Li Gongye said with a serious look on his face.
"Okay!" The people watching outside cheered after hearing Li Gongye's words.
Looking at Gao Qi who was already kneeling down, Yun Yan nodded. This Li practitioner is quite good. It is really rare that he can ignore the powerful.
"Quiet!" Li Gongye said loudly, and suddenly the whole Yamen was silent.
Looking at the people kneeling in the hall, Li Gongye continued: "Everyone in the hall, who is Yang Ao?"
The man in white prison uniform kneeling below raised his head, revealing his unshaven face, and said in a low voice: "I am."
"Are you the one who escorted the disaster relief funds to the disaster area for disaster relief?" Li Gongye asked again.
"Yes." Yang Ao said without raising his head.
Li Gongye nodded and asked: "Did you know that the 1.5 million taels of silver you took to the disaster area ended up being only 150,000 taels of silver? The 150,000 taels of silver were only one-tenth of the initial amount. This matter
What's your explanation?"
Glancing at Li Gongye, Gao Qi said displeasedly: "Master Li, my uncle remembers it well. The last time you were here, you interrogated Yang Ao twice, and he had already confessed. If you keep asking like this, the result will naturally be
will not change."
With a cold snort, Li Gongye said directly: "I have never asked you a question, if you talk too much again, I will slap you!"
Gao Qi glared at Li Congye and said angrily: "You..." But after looking around, the officials looked at him with ferocious eyes, and he had to hold back his anger.
"Last time you said that you embezzled the disaster silver, but in the end we found out the missing disaster silver. Yang Ao... If you recruit it from the truth, I may be able to plead with the emperor on your behalf. Such a treacherous and evil person
How can we let people go? If you continue to protect me, you will become a sinner for the ages." Li Gongye continued with a stern face.
Yang Ao took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Li Congye above, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said: "Master Li, I admit... I didn't tell the truth last time. That day, I escorted the disaster bank there according to the emperor's imperial decree.
In the disaster-stricken silver area, I had gone to see a person before. He told me that the 1.5 million taels of silver was a large sum of money. It would not be enough to feed the poor people in the disaster-stricken area. Under his hint,
I had to give him 750,000 taels of silver. After that, officials from various places along the way got 600,000 taels of silver. This 600,000 taels of silver was also what he told me to win over those local officials.
, there were only 150,000 taels of silver left for disaster relief in the disaster area. I gave false testimony before, just because my family was in his hands, and I had to obey orders, but I know..." He took a deep breath as he spoke
He raised his head and said, "People are doing it, God is watching, I must tell all this."
As soon as Yang Ao said these words, the people outside were in an uproar. If someone outside had not stopped them, they would have rushed in long ago.
Listening to Yang Ao's words, Gao Qi's face turned pale. Did he even care about the lives of his family?
Li Gongye nodded and said, "So, who is the person you are talking about?"
"Uncle Gao Qi!" Yang Ao said directly without thinking.
When Gao Qi heard this, his face changed drastically, and he immediately said angrily to Yang Ao next to him: "Yang Ao, don't you dare to slander others. When did my uncle instruct you? You just wanted to get away with it, so you deliberately made false accusations."
I."
"Quiet!" Li Congye shouted loudly. He glared at Yang Ao and said in a deep voice, "Gao Qi, a few days ago, more than one million taels of financial assets were found in your courtyard on the outskirts of the city, including
There are even 750,000 taels of silver that were sent to the disaster area before. At that time, both people got the stolen goods, and you still want to quibble!"
Gao Qi opened his mouth and rolled his eyes slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "No, no, someone must have framed me. I was there just to find the person who wanted to frame me, so..."
"Looking for someone? Haha, it seems that I am going to call for a witness." Li Gongye immediately shouted outside, "Come here, ask for a witness."
Witness? Gao Qi was slightly shocked. When was there a witness? Could it be that Gao Ke had been caught? How is it possible? Even if he was caught, he would not betray him! However, except for the witness, he would
who is it?
There was another round of discussion at the door of the Yamen. Yun Yan frowned slightly. Witness? She had not heard of this, but looking at Li Gongye's confident look, she was relieved. This way, Gao Qi could be convicted.
.
At this moment, the crowd suddenly made a way, and a man in a light yellow brocade robe suddenly appeared in the courtroom. Looking at the person, Yun Yan's face changed and he turned around quickly. Why was he here?
As if he noticed a gaze paying attention to him, Mu Qingyuan suddenly turned his head and looked at the crowd. There was no one in particular, they were just common people.
Looking at the person coming, Li Congye stood up, saluted him and said, "Fourth Prince."
Mu Qingyuan walked to Yang Ao and stood next to him. He looked at Li Congye and said with a slight smile: "Master Li, there is no need to be polite. Let's continue with the case."
At the edge of the Yamen, Yun Yan slowly stretched out her head and looked at the man standing inside. What was Mu Qingyuan doing here? Is he the so-called witness? Suddenly she thought of something, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Now, the play seems to be even more exciting. But in this way, she frowned and looked at Li Congye, so he is his person. No wonder!
Li Congye sat down, his face regained its dignity, looked at Mu Qingyuan below and asked: "Fourth Prince, what did you see when you led people to investigate the Gaoqi Courtyard that day?"
As soon as these words came out, Gao Qi quickly looked at Mu Qingyuan, who frowned tightly and shook his head at him.
After hearing this, Mu Qingyuan glanced at Gao Qi next to him, looking at his expression indicating that he should not speak, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he immediately turned his head, looked at Li Congye and said: "That day, the king of Japan brought his hand
When I went downstairs, I happened to see Gao Qi digging for the money he had embezzled. At that time, it could be said that both people had stolen the money, so I arrested him. There were many people who saw this scene that day, and I said
It’s the truth.”
"Gao Qi, after the Fourth Prince's testimony, do you still want to deny it?" After hearing this, Li Gongye turned his eyes to Gao Qi and asked.
Gao Qi opened his mouth, but he did not answer Li Gongye's words. Instead, he looked at Mu Qingyuan and sneered: "Do you think you are doing harm to the people? Do you know that if you do this, you will lose
What you want most, I'm afraid, you will never get."
Mu Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, and a cold look flashed across his face, but it was only for a moment. When he looked at Gao Qi again, he seemed to be sighing. He said regretfully: "Uncle,
It’s not that I don’t want to help you in this matter, but since you have done such harm to the people, I have no choice but to kill your relatives out of justice. Uncle, just plead guilty, maybe my father can forgive you.”
Looking at Mu Qingyuan, Gao Qi's eyes were full of disdain. He never imagined that one day he would be tricked by his own nephew. He snorted and suddenly laughed loudly: "Hahaha..."
With a "pop" sound, Li Gongye patted the gavel again and shouted, "Quiet!"
When Gao Qi stopped laughing, Li Gongye continued: "So, the case of disaster bank embezzlement is complete with both witness and material evidence. Gao Qi, do you still want to deny it?"
Gao Qi sneered. He suddenly stood up, turned around, looked at the people outside, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Do you all want to kill my uncle? Ha..." He turned around again and looked at Li Congye.
, mockingly said, "But don't forget my uncle's identity. I am the Queen Mother's nephew and the emperor's cousin. If anyone dares to disrespect me and ask me for guilt, my uncle will ask you for the crime! Haha..."
Arrogant laughter suddenly filled the entire courtroom.
"Come here, arrest Gao Qi and put him in the sky prison. Since he has confessed his guilt, I have to report to the emperor how to deal with it!" Li Congye said coldly, looking at Gao Qi with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
.
Outside, Yun Yan stood there, feeling as if his heartbeat had skipped half a beat. Finally, Yang Ao was about to be questioned. Oh, it was really satisfying.
Two government officials came over and lifted Gao Qi up. Gao Qi moved his body wildly and shouted loudly: "How dare you touch my uncle? My uncle will not let you go, and neither will the Queen Mother."
At this time, Mu Qingyuan suddenly walked up to Gao Qi. He said calmly with an expressionless face: "There is something I forgot to tell my uncle. The fact that I am here today is all because of the Queen Mother. She said that it cannot be because of a Gao Qi.
Qi Er defeated the entire Gao family. Uncle, you should understand what the Queen Mother means." As he said that, he stepped aside and stopped looking at Gao Qi.
Gao Qi, who was still struggling at first, shuddered after hearing this. He stood there dejectedly. Is the Queen Mother going to abandon him? How is it possible, how is it possible?!
On the ground, Yang Ao suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Congye, and said, "Master Li, there is something I have to say, otherwise I will have uneasy conscience for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Li Congye's face, and he asked directly: "What's the matter?"
"That was the rebellion of Ding Guo Gong a few years ago. In fact, I gave false testimony at that time. Ding Guo Gong did not collude with Wei Changming. He and Wei Changming were just acquaintances between gentlemen. They were old friends. It was just because of the
Gao Qi wanted to bring down the Li family, but I was so obsessed that I followed Gao Qi's instigation and framed Duke Dingguo. I knew that my sin was serious, but even if I was to be despised by thousands of people, I had to tell the story.
Make it known to the world and make Duke Ding innocent!" Yang Ao's dirty face was full of persistence. In this way, he would be worthy of her, and if he met her in a lower position one day, he would dare to see her.
Li Congye suddenly stood up from his seat, with a look of shock on his face. He looked at Gao Qi who was kneeling below him. After a while, he said, "Are you serious about what you said?"
"A person who is about to die does not dare to tell lies!" Yang Ao said solemnly.
At this time, Gao Qi, who was tied up by the officials, said loudly: "Nonsense, Yang Ao, you are framing my uncle. My uncle did not instruct you to frame Duke Ding at all! It's obviously you, it's you!"
"
"Quiet!" Li Congye came back to his senses. He looked at Yang Ao and said in a deep voice, "This matter must be reported to the emperor. If someone comes, Yang Ao and Gao Qi will be detained first."
Yun Yan stood there, unconsciously holding the door eaves with her hands. Looking at Yang Ao's relaxed look, she opened her mouth, with the same look of surprise on her face. She didn't expect that he would be willing to stand up and restore her grandfather's innocence.
, after all, if he really said it, I'm afraid there would be no chance for him to survive. Suddenly, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly, maybe he really loved his mother like this. Unfortunately, her mother didn't know it at that time!
However, at this moment, Yunyan caught a glimpse of a black figure out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly turned her head and looked to the right. She saw a man in black with a straw hat on his head. She couldn't see clearly his face.
His face. He seemed to be looking into the courtroom, and his eyes were awe-inspiring and cold, so familiar.
Yun Yan stroked her forehead, who was it? Suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she looked at each other. It was that time when Yang Ao was being tried, this person had also appeared. Thinking of this, she pushed aside the crowd and thought
Have to walk over.
The man in the straw hat suddenly turned around and walked towards the outside of the crowd. Seeing this scene, Yun Yan felt slightly anxious and vigorously pushed the people around him away.
After finally coming out, Yun Yan looked around and saw that the person was right in front of her before she could go far. He raised his feet and was about to chase her. But at this moment, on the right, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and a mellow
The voice came, "It is indeed you!"
Looking ahead, Yun Yan frowned. What's worse, the person turned to an alley. Feeling the strength in her arm, she turned her head, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said impatiently: "You
What do you want to do? Let go!" However, looking at the person coming, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, it was him.
Looking at the young man in white in front of him, at such a close distance, he realized that her lips were red and her teeth were white. The man in black clothes said calmly: "It seems that this hunch is really accurate."
"Do you want to avenge the killing just now?" Yun Yan glanced at the hand holding her right arm tightly, she sneered and said, "In this case, I think highly of you."
Is he mocking him? The man in black clothes looked at the young man in white in front of him, his brows furrowed, and a trace of displeasure appeared on his resolute face. He said coldly: "No one dares to talk to me like this."
"Then should I be happy that I have become the first person?" Yun Yan sneered and said with a raised eyebrow, "Hurry up and let go!"
"What if I don't let you go?" the man in black clothes said coldly, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body, indescribably hard and cold.
Yun Yan raised her brows, but unfortunately she couldn't use her left hand. She clenched her right hand suddenly and was about to take action. At this time, another voice came.
"When did second brother become interested in men? But this won't work!" A figure suddenly appeared. He was dressed in red, with long hair flying, but his handsome face lacked the smile of the past. He stepped forward and directly held out his hand.
It hit the hand of the man in black clothes. When the man in black clothes stopped his hand, he pulled the man in white clothes into his arms with a long arm, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
