Everyone at the scene knelt down to worship, feeling very surprised.
No one expected that Li Changfeng would come to the scene in person.
If he was accused of being guilty on the spot, how could he get off the stage?
The Minister of Dali Temple would not punish a prince on the spot, would he?
Some people are a little angry.
In their view, Li Changfeng was just using his power to bully others.
Otherwise, why would he attend such an occasion in person?
Li Changfeng seemed very indifferent.
He nodded slightly and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, get up."
Everyone stood up, Zhang Haihui moved a chair, Li Changfeng sat down, raised his hand to the Dali Temple Minister, and motioned for him to continue.
The Minister of Dali Temple did not expect that Li Changfeng would come to the trial site in person. He laughed dryly and sat on the high platform with some uneasiness.
Snap!
He patted the gavel again and asked loudly: "Who do you think you can sue?"
Wu Daniu glanced at Li Changfeng secretly, swallowed hard, and said in a timid voice: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince."
"What's the complaint?"
"After the little old man ate the salt sold by His Highness the Ninth Prince, the old woman and daughter suffered from diarrhea and almost lost their lives!"
Having said this, Wu Daniu gritted his teeth and said loudly: "There is a big problem with the small tribute salt sold by His Highness the Ninth Prince, and I must give an explanation to you!"
The Minister of Dali Temple glanced at Li Changfeng and asked, "What do you have to say, Your Highness?"
Li Changfeng shook his head in boredom and said: "There's nothing to say. Isn't it just that the Wang family deliberately framed me? You can just use the trial."
The Minister of Dali Temple coughed dryly, feeling quite helpless.
As a prince, how can you say such nonsense without evidence?
However, he did not dare to remind him.
Li Changfeng is a fierce man who dares to burn down the properties of eight aristocratic families in the name of catching assassins. Is there anything he doesn't dare to do?
What is said is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Those who originally did not believe that Li Changfeng would sell the problematic salt tribute now looked thoughtful.
Even those who thought there was something wrong with Li Changfeng were a little shaken at this moment.
The Wang family has every motive to do this.
Moreover, the Wang family previously claimed that there was a problem with the salt fields and no official salt was available for sale. When Li Changfeng Xiaogong salt was sold at a reduced price, it was suddenly supplied in unlimited quantities.
This thing itself is weird.
With a flexible mind, I have already guessed the fishiness involved.
The Minister of Dali Temple looked at the middle-aged man and said sternly: "Do you have any evidence?"
The middle-aged man was startled: "My old woman and daughter have not recovered yet. Isn't this proof?"
Dali Temple Qing smiled coldly: "Really?"
Then he shouted coldly: "Brother Wu!"
Hearing this name, the middle-aged man was obviously a little panicked.
A man wearing coarse linen clothes came out. When he saw the middle-aged man, he pointed at his nose and yelled curses.
"Okay, you son of a bitch, I'm just telling you why you asked me for croton. It turned out that it was for my mother-in-law to frame His Highness the Ninth Prince. Do you still have a conscience? If it weren't for His Highness the Ninth Prince, would we be able to eat such good salt?
When did you see His Highness the Ninth Prince thinking about us poor people like melons and jujubes? He has always made money from dignitaries!"
This angry curse immediately started a heated discussion among the onlookers at the scene.
"Badou, this is something for diarrhea after taking medicine, and he actually gave it to his own family?"
"Yes, if it weren't for His Highness the Ninth Prince, would we be able to eat such good salt? How come I don't see anyone around me having problems after eating Xiaogong Salt?"
"The most important thing is, I don't think His Highness the Ninth Prince would be interested in our little money. They can earn so much money from Doudou, Beer and BBQ City, Mixue Ice City and the No. 1 jewelry store in the world!"
"I can finally see it. This guy is clearly slandering His Highness the Ninth Prince!"
"What a courageous dog!"
…
Wu Daniu was a little scared.
But he still gritted his teeth and said: "No, I have never asked you for crotons!"
When Wu Lao Yao was about to speak, he was stopped by the Dali Temple Minister, who shouted: "It is said that Shopkeeper Liu of the Liu Family Tailor Shop."
Wu Daniu became even more panicked, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He secretly glanced at Shopkeeper Liu, who glared at him fiercely.
Then he bowed to Li Changfeng, and then pointed at Wu Daniu and said to the Minister of Dali Temple: "Yes, that's him. He asked me to customize a set of high-quality silk robes. It cost a total of eight taels of snowflake silver!"
The Minister of Dali Temple smiled coldly, slapped the gavel hard, and asked sternly: "Wu Daniu, you are a carriage driver, where do you get the money to make custom-made silk fabric clothes?"
Wu Daniu pretended to be calm and said: "Can't I make enough money?"
"How much do you earn? Do you want me to call the owner of the car dealership and the groom who works with you to ask how much your wages are?"
When the trial reached this point, the people who came to see the excitement really became lively at this time, and they all reprimanded Wu Daniu for this.
A horseman unexpectedly ordered a silk brocade dress. He thought with his heels that the money came from a bad source.
"This...this..." The cold sweat on Wu Daniu's forehead was already dripping down, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "He is talking nonsense! Where did I get so much money to customize the brocade clothes?"
"The preface does not match the postscript, Wu Daniu, you still don't know the crime?!"
The Minister of Dali Temple shouted angrily, Wu Daniu was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, his face was as pale as paper, but he still refused to admit it.
"Didn't I say something wrong?"
"Okay, let's just pretend that you made a mistake. You deposited ninety taels of silver at the bank. Do you want me to take out your deposit certificate? Now explain to me how you earned this money!"
At this time, Wu Daniu's psychological defense was completely defeated.
He knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head, and cried bitterly: "Young man was just confused for a moment. That man gave me a hundred taels of silver and asked me to do this. If I don't do it, I'll kill him." My little daughter, I did it out of necessity!"
At this point in the trial, the truth comes out.
Everyone at the scene started yelling.
"You heartless thing, how dare you frame His Highness the Ninth Prince? You really deserve to die!"
"Let me tell you, how could His Highness the Ninth Prince do such a thing? It turns out he was really framed!"
"The Wang family, it must be the Wang family! They don't want us to eat Xiaogong salt, and they want His Highness the Ninth Prince to not be able to sell Xiaogong salt!"
"Yes, the whole world belongs to your Majesty. How dare the Ninth Prince do such a thing? Your Majesty is the first one to spare him!"
"The Wang family is so shameless!"
Li Changfeng originally wanted to see what means Emperor Qianwu would use to clear his name, and he even planned to spread rumors afterwards to completely ruin the reputation of the Wang family.
But I didn't expect that things would develop to such an extent.
Not all the people were fools. They saw the entanglement of interests and directly targeted the Wang family.
