Chapter 112 Night Trial of Wei Yong [Please subscribe and vote]

The carriage stopped steadily in front of the first courtyard outside the Daliang Palace, which is now the Xinling Lord's Mansion.

However, at this time, the front of Lord Xinling's mansion was already filled with soldiers in armor, and the entire gate of Lord Xinling was also surrounded by water.

"You know you're afraid? I thought you didn't understand fear!" Wuming joked with a smile.

Yan Yan smiled back awkwardly. These were the generals and soldiers of the entire Wei Kingdom. Their aura alone could scare people to death.

Wuming and Yan Lu got off the carriage first, and the crowd around them also gave way to the road.

Yan Yan also followed Wuming and walked through the crowd, and then he saw Lord Xinling in brocade clothes standing in front of the mansion instead of in the mansion.

Kneeling in front of Lord Xinling were Dianqing, Mei Sanniang, Wei Yong and others.

"Is this going to be a public trial?" Yan Yan looked at Wuming and asked.

"No matter how you say it, Mei Yi is still a great general of the Wei State. If such a big man is assassinated, he will always have to give an explanation to the three armies!" Wuming said calmly.

"Invite the Korean envoy!" Wuming led Yan Yan through the crowd and came to Lord Xinling and saluted.

Lord Xinling nodded, looked at Yan Yan, then bowed and said, "Envoy, please take a seat!"

Yan Yan was stunned, thinking that Lord Xinling wanted to cause trouble for him, but he didn't expect that he just asked him to be a witness.

So Yan Yan, led by his attendants, took Shao Siming to sit in front of the bill that had been prepared for them.

After sitting quietly for a while, I heard a loud shout.

"The king's envoy has arrived!"

Yan Yan and others immediately stood up and watched the eunuch representing King Wei walking from the crowd.

"By the order of the king, I came to supervise the assassination of 13 officials including the general and the servant!" The eunuch saluted Lord Xinling and then sat down on the left side of Lord Xinling.

"I have been ordered by the king to preside over the assassination case of 13 courtiers including General Mei Yi and his servants!"

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Lord Xinling walked to the center of the makeshift trial stage, waved his brocade sleeves, and sat on the main seat.

The surroundings immediately became quiet, and all eyes were turned to Lord Xinling in the center.

Sikou of the State of Wei, who was in charge of presiding over the trial, invited the family members of all the assassinated officials to the square, then turned to salute Lord Xinling and said, "Your Excellency, all relatives of the victims are here!"

Lord Xinling nodded and looked at Wei Yong who was kneeling at the foot of the steps in front of him.

"Wei Yong, can you plead guilty?"

"What crime is Yong guilty of?" Wei Yong did not intend to plead guilty.

As long as Lord Xinling and the State of Wei fail to catch Black and White Xuanjian, there will be no witnesses and no evidence!

"Wei Yong will definitely die!" Yan Yan sighed.

A person's name, a tree's shadow, if there is no evidence, how could Lord Xinling interrogate him overnight or in public in front of the generals of the three armies of Wei State.

Perhaps Wei Yong thought that he could not be convicted if he could not catch Black and White Xuanjian, but sometimes, the evidence did not necessarily need to be true.

"Bring witnesses and evidence!" Lord Xinling ignored Wei Yong and continued to speak.Wei Yong frowned and turned to look at the people who were being escorted up by the guards of Xinling Lord's Mansion and the pile of bamboo slips. When he saw the people being escorted up, Wei Yong's expression changed instantly.

"I've seen you, Your Majesty!" Each witness came forward and saluted.

"Who are you?" Lord Xinling asked calmly.

"Wei Yong's family is the chief historian, counselor, and retainer!" Each witness reported his family name.

Yan Yan watched quietly as these people told them how Wei Yong conspired with them to kill Mei Yi, the imperial servant and other officials, and even provided all the correspondence between them.

As for the originally most important witness, Black and White Xuanjian, it is not so important at this time, because Black and White Xuanjian is just a hired killer!
With each additional piece of evidence, Wei Yong's face became paler. By the time everyone had finished their statements, Wei Yong had already slumped down on the ground. However, the attendants on both sides clamped his limbs with killing sticks and knelt on the ground. .

"I recognize the money but not the people in my trap. This is the list of people Wei Yong hired me to trap and kill!" However, no one expected that just when there was a mountain of evidence against Wei Yong, the black widow appeared in the tall building bracket opposite Xinling Lord's Mansion. On top of it, a bamboo slip was thrown.

Mao Sui stepped in front of Lord Xinling, caught the flying bamboo slips steadily, opened them carefully and confirmed that there was no danger, and then forwarded them to Lord Xinling's case.

Lord Xinling looked at the list sent by the Black Widow, and his face became much gloomier. There were not just 14 people on the list, but more than [-] officials from Wei State, ranging from Daliang courtiers to local officials.

"Luo Wang has a grudge against Wei Yong. The testimony and evidence are not credible and will not be accepted!" However, the great scholar Xue Gong behind Lord Xinling reminded Lord Xinling in a low voice that the matter could not be expanded any further.

Lord Xinling nodded, announced that the list provided by Black Widow would not be used, and threw the list into the furnace nearby.

"The evidence is conclusive, ironclad, Wei Yong, what excuse do you have?" Lord Xinling looked at Wei Yong and spoke slowly.

"Yong, I have nothing to say!" Wei Yong knew that he would definitely die, and finally understood that in fact, he was just a chess piece in the hands of King Wei and Lord Xinling, used to clean the court for Prince Wu.

"According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, Wei Yong assassinated 14 ministers, including the general and the imperial servant, and was sentenced to Che Li and the Yi tribe!" Lord Xinling threw the token in front of Wei Yong.

Wei Yong looked at the token that fell to the ground, but he stared at Lord Xinling, laughed, turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, and finally broke free of the killing stick that restrained him.

"I will wait for you and your Majesty below!" Wei Yong sneered, taking off his hair crown and letting his white hair fall loose.

"Bold!" The envoy was furious.

The punishment imposed by Lord Xinling was not just Wei Yong alone, but also included Wei Yong's long history and retainers who reported and testified, as well as officials who were replaced by Wei Yong after he killed people.

"It seems that King Wei is really seriously ill!" Zhu Jia sat not far behind Yan Yan and whispered.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yan turned his head and glanced at the Zhu family.

When the Zhu family saw Yan Yan turning his head, he also nodded steadily.

"Wei is going to change!" Yan Yan also said in approval.

One emperor and one courtier.

The King of Wei knew that he did not have much time, so he wanted to make way for Prince Wu and eliminate future troubles, so Wei Yong became the sword.

It seems that Wei Yong replaced many courtiers, but in fact it was just a short shuffle. In the end, Prince Wu appointed his own people to take over these positions to ensure the smooth transition of royal power.

Wei Yong may have known that he was a sword from the beginning, but he thought that he could dominate the government and stabilize his position, so that King Wei and Lord Xinling did not dare to touch him, but he did not expect the courage of Lord Xinling and King Wei But it was bigger than he imagined.
