Chapter 433
Yang Yizhao said: "Second Master Long naturally denies it. But Wang Cheng insisted, what can you do? In this way, Second Master Long will be involved in the case of the leakage of the fragrant epiphyllum, and may even be involved in the poisoning of Baifengcheng Compared with smuggling property from the Forbidden Palace, it is even more serious. Yang Jie ordered Wang Cheng and Zhang Asi to be imprisoned in court, and also imprisoned the second son Long in the side room of the prison."

Xiao Yezi frowned and scolded: "Then he ransacked the house and ransacked it all over the city, didn't he? The crime has not been convicted yet, so let's make public opinion first! How vicious it is!"

Yang Yizhao said calmly: "No matter whether these evidences are true or not, it is an indisputable fact that all the clues now point to Second Master Long. Including the letter copied by Yang Jie just now, it was indeed written by Wang Cheng to Second Master Long A gift list. Since Wang Cheng is a close friend of the Long family, some human relations are normal. But even if it is an ordinary human relationship, the timing is sensitive and there are witnesses. Being able to smuggle contraband does not necessarily mean that you cannot smuggle prohibited drugs... As long as witnesses insist that the confession will not be retracted, even if there is no conviction, it will not be clear."

Xiao Ye Zi paced back and forth angrily: "This will make this matter even more difficult."

Yang Yizhao said: "That's why we have to wait here for Shen Zhaoxi to come back, and we can't let Yang Jie meet Shen Zhaoxi alone. Now, apart from witness testimony, other evidence is unnecessary. As long as we work hard, there must be a turning point. The Long family holds them in high regard, and Senior Long is the pillar of the country, I believe Shen Zhaoxi will be lenient to the Long family."

Xiao Yezi swallowed her grievances forcefully: "That's all." She suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Let me tell you, I went to the imperial treasury to follow the guards at the door today, and I also gained something." He told Yang Yizhao all the news he heard.

Yang Yizhao pondered for a moment: "Although it's a little bit out of reach, it may be a clue. Let's meet with Shen Zhaoxi first to see the situation, and then it's more appropriate to say this."

The two of them waited until nightfall before they heard the messenger at the gate of the palace shout loudly: "The leader returns to the palace—"

Xiao Yezi and Yang Yizhao glanced at each other, and both rushed to catch up, bowing down in front of Shen Zhaoxi's motorcade: "See the leader of God!"

One hand lifted the curtain of the car, revealing half of Shen Zhaoxi's face, he was still smiling, but he couldn't hide the tiredness and anxiety in his eyes: "It's you."

Yang Yizhao bowed his head and said, "Is the leader rushing back because of the matter of Second Master Long?"

Shen Zhaoxi nodded: "Are you also waiting here for this matter?"

Yang Yizhao replied: "Yes. This matter involves the Liu family, and Shu is the representative of the Liu family, so he had to come. I heard that Yang's emissary is already waiting in the palace for the judgment of the leader. Shu came here to plead with the leader to allow Shu to settle the case. He and Hongyao are listening."

Shen Zhaoxi sighed: "This is what it should be. Get up and follow me into the palace."

Xiao Ye Zi looked at Shen Zhaoxi carefully, seeing that his face was gray, his heart moved, but he didn't speak.The two followed Shen Zhaoxi's motorcade and entered the main hall.

Above the main hall, Yang Jie has been waiting for a long time.Seeing Shen Zhaoxi's return, Yang Jie immediately stepped forward to pay homage: "My subordinates see the leader."

Shen Zhaoxi nodded slightly to signal, walked to the throne and sat down, Fang Yi raised his hand: "Stay flat."

Yang Jie stood up, saw Xiao Yezi and Yang Yizhao also coming, and smiled: "Mr. Shu and the red-waisted girl are here too, that's good."

The maid beside Shen Zhaoxi served tea to Shen Zhaoxi as usual, but Shen Zhaoxi pushed him away with one hand.He only looked at Yang Jie with a pair of eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is what you said in the letter true? Long Heng really participated in the robbery of the forbidden palace?"

Yang Jie bowed and said: "Every sentence in the letter from my subordinate is true. All the witnesses and material evidence have been detained in the prison of Yuehua City. If the leader has any doubts, my subordinates will immediately send someone to interrogate the witnesses."

Little Ye Zi never forgot such words as "witness" and "material evidence" when listening to Yang Jie, she clearly compared Long Heng to a criminal, and was already extremely displeased.Yang Yizhao also knew what she wanted, so he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said, "Master, I don't know if Shu has something to say."

Shen Zhaoxi's eyes lit up: "Mr. Shu, but it's okay to say."

Yang Yizhao said respectfully: "Shu was present throughout the trial, and indeed heard Wang Cheng testify against the second son of Long. However, Shu thinks there are still doubts about the supporting evidence. According to his resume, Wang Cheng and the Long family Having known each other for many years, it can be said that he is a confidant cultivated by the Long family. According to common sense, if Wang Cheng is grateful, he will naturally take the initiative to associate with the Long family. It seems a bit far-fetched to conclude that Second Master Long accepted Wang Cheng's bribes in the gift list, and then extended to Second Master Long also participated in the piracy and sale of contraband mentioned by Wang Cheng. As for the private gift of fragrant epiphyllum, there is no evidence. There is some quarrel with Envoy Yang, but based on what Wang Cheng said alone, and there is no solid evidence...If this is the case, it would be a bit rash to put him in prison."

Shen Zhaoxi nodded and said: "Mr. Shu's meaning is also reasonable. Yang Jie, what else did you find?"

Yang Jie glanced at Yang Yizhao, and replied: "My subordinates went to the Dragon Mansion to search, and found something, and brought it with me, and submitted it to the leader for viewing."

"Bring it up." Shen Zhaoxi said.

As soon as Yang Jie waved his hand, a servant presented a thin brocade box.The maid took the brocade box and presented it to Shen Zhaoxi.

Shen Zhaoxi reached out to lift the lid of the box, and frowned—there was only an ordinary red paper lying in the box, but the name on it really made Shen Zhaoxi fall into deep thought.

Yang Jie said loudly: "This red letter of proposal was confiscated from the bedroom of the servants of the Dragon Mansion. On it were the birthdays of a man and a woman. The man was Liu Zi, the young master of Liuji Silk and Satin Village in Baifeng City, and the woman It was Long Heng's youngest daughter, Long Xin. According to investigations by subordinates, a month ago, the Liu family admired the power of the Long family, and specially found a middleman to bring gifts to the Long family to propose marriage. But the Long family didn't like the Liu family, so they beat the middleman back. This marriage also failed. I heard that Liu Ziwen said that the marriage proposal was not successful, so he was very angry. He also publicly slandered the Long family, saying that the Long family was bullying others. After that, some people in Baifeng City slandered the two daughters of the Long family. The language is unbearable."

Shen Zhaoxi frowned and said: "You mean, the Long family couldn't bear to see their daughter being slandered, so they planned the case of poisoning the fragrant epiphyllum?"

Yang Jie responded: "On this point, my subordinates have sent people to interrogate Long Heng and his family. But they all agreed that they had already returned the dowry gift from the Liu family, and had never taken revenge on the Liu family. The family is also a little suspicious. When in Baifeng City, the dragon envoy also had conflicts with the elders of the Liu family..."

Shen Zhaoxi's face became more and more ugly, he bowed his head and remained silent.

At this time, someone from outside the palace came to report: "Report to the leader, the jade envoy has sent an urgent military message from the flying pigeon in Baifeng City."
