First you have to find evidence, and then you have to find witnesses.
But now.
In the Hejian Palace, those who know the inside story, or in other words, are the ones who can know the inside story.
All of them died in one day.
Li Chengqian thought of everything, but he never expected that the matter would develop to this point.
same.
What he didn't expect even more was these people.
The Hejian Palace is not an ordinary place, and Li Chongyi and Li Xiaogong are not ordinary people.
These two gentlemen have a cautious and cautious style of dealing with things.
In ordinary times, let alone oppressing the people, he has never even done anything to drive away beggars.
What I'm afraid of is that someone will take these things to the court and talk about them.
They have thought of even such small things.
How could they not find out the whereabouts of the servants in the mansion?
You know, Li Chongyi is now married and has children.
If the child had an accident, Li Chongyi would have no place to cry.
Therefore, when selecting slaves, Li Chongyi personally selected them one by one.
Moreover, he also checked the household registration and past experiences of these people, and he would only stay if they were innocent.
But even though everyone was careful, something unexpected happened.
Among the more than twenty people who died in one breath, at least half were old people who had lived in the Hejian Palace for more than five years.
but now.
But all these people died.
Li Chengqian didn't believe that each of them was innocent.
To spend five years or more sneaking into a person's home, even Li Chengqian had to admire these people's perseverance and courage.
"Why bother?"
"Why do they bother?"
Li Xiaogong said with a sad face: "I have never treated them badly, why do they want to harm my adopted son..."
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and clear your family's grievances."
"Um."
"I trust you." Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly: "I just hope that this day can come soon, let alone die."
"I already have enough lives on my hands."
"I don't want to see so many people die because of me."
Because he committed too many killings in his early years.
During this period, Li Xiaogong had already brought the word kindness to the extreme.
On weekdays, even if someone did something wrong, he would not beat or punish him. At most, he would have someone give him a lecture.
During festivals and festivals, he would also have the barn doors of the Hejian Prince's Palace opened to give money, clothing, and food to the poor.
But even if it comes to this.
Still no good news reflected on him.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Xiaogong, feeling a little sad.
Li Xiaogong was a person who truly fought for the Tang Dynasty all his life.
Moreover, he also trained a general like Li Chongyi who could take charge of his own duties for the Tang Dynasty.
For the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiaogong and his family could be said to have devoted themselves wholeheartedly.
but now.
But someone hurt them.
At this moment.
Gao Zhixing spoke: "In order to frame a person, these guys really spend a lot of money."
"We actually started planning it five or six years ago."
"Besides, these people are really a group of loyal and brave people."
Gao Zhixing rubbed his chin, looked at the dead servants of the Hejian Palace and said, "I don't know where the people who did this got these people."
Hear the words of the highest and most virtuous.
Li Chengqian suddenly felt that he had forgotten something.
He frowned suddenly and reached out to grab Gao Zhixing's wrist.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Zhixing looked at him with some confusion.
"Something's wrong."
"I feel like I forgot something."
Li Chengqian rubbed his temples vigorously.
At this moment, Li Chengqian felt a flash of lightning flash in his mind.
"not good."
"We've fallen into a trap!"
Li Chengqian stood up suddenly, grabbed Gao Zhixing and walked out.
As he walked, he shouted: "Get your horses ready, get your horses ready, and go back to Dali Temple quickly!"
"Go back to Dali Temple?"
Gao Zhixing looked puzzled.
It’s already this time, why are you still going back to Dali Temple? ???
But what Li Chengqian said next made him break into a cold sweat.
"If you are the one who started these things."
Li Chengqian said directly: "After killing these circumstantial evidences that can be used by the court to obtain evidence, what will you do next?"
Gao Zhixing was suddenly startled.
What else can be done?
If he is the mastermind behind this, after killing these circumstantial evidence, his next step will definitely be to kill the witnesses again.
After all, as long as the witnesses are dead, the evidence is still there.
Then this crime is considered to be completely crucified.
Gao Zhixing shuddered: "You mean, they will go to Dali Temple to kill people? No?"
Where is Dali Temple?
That is the Supreme People's Court of this era.
If you run wild wherever you go, you are rebelling.
"Even the generals of the current dynasty dare to set up a trap, what else can they not dare to do?"
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said: "Now I just hope that my guess is wrong and that nothing happens to the witness..."
However.
There is a saying in this world that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortunes never come alone.
When Li Chengqian and Gao Zhixing returned to Dali Temple, Dali Temple was already in chaos.
From inside the courtyard to outside the courtyard, you can see running errands everywhere.
Wei Zhengdu, who originally took a rest today, reappeared in Dali Temple.
Far away.
Li Chengqian saw Wei Zhengzheng pulling He was looking at someone and yelling at something.
"Master Wei!"
Li Chengqian walked up to Wei Zheng, looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
"An assassin came to Dali Temple just now."
Wei Zheng said truthfully: "The witness in Li Chongyi's bribery case was killed."
Hurry up and hurry up.
Li Chengqian was still a step too late.
"Holy shit..."
Li Chengqian couldn't control his emotions and cursed several Chinese quintessences in succession.
"What the hell happened to him falling to the ground!"
Li Chengqian grabbed the yamen officer who had just been reprimanded by Wei Zheng: "Didn't I tell you to watch the witnesses?"
"I...I...I..."
He didn't even know how terrifying the furious Li Chengqian was.
The official was so frightened that he could hardly breathe.
The next moment, the officer knelt directly in front of Li Chengqian: "I am indeed keeping a close eye on that witness."
"I also specially found a dozen brothers on duty to guard the door of his room."
"But who would have thought that the assassin would be so powerful that he could break through the heavy siege of our brothers and go in to kill the witness..."
The Yamen official kowtowed to Li Chengqian repeatedly: "Damn it, damn it. Damn it, it's because you neglected your duty and thought of things too simply..."
Hear his explanation.
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He thought the case was simple.
As long as we find out the ins and outs of everything and the truth, it will be over.
But who would have thought that this chain-linked strategy would lead to a dead end at every step.
Li Chengqian clenched his fists tightly and said, "Okay, that's it. There's no point in blaming you."
"Master Wei!"
Li Chengqian raised his head and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Originally I didn't intend to trouble you, but now you have seen it."
"This group of people is coming with such force that I really can't stand it."
"So, I can only ask you to come out and investigate this case together..."
