Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 485 Innocence
  "Your Majesty, this is my negligence."

Hou Tai knew that this matter was big or small. If he really wanted to argue, even if he didn't have to beheaded, his life would not be easy in the future.

Even the entire Criminal Department may be cleaned up.

He had to kneel down and admit his mistake immediately, hoping that the big problem could be minimized.

Hu Yan knelt down for the second time, kowtowed vigorously and said, "I was also negligent. Please forgive me."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Lian Zining trembled more violently and knelt down and kowtowed louder.

The officials of the other three divisions all knelt down at this time, wanting to die.

They can also predict how serious the consequences will be. If they are handed over to the Jinyi Guards for investigation, they may be worse than dead, which will be even more terrible.

But all they can do now is admit their mistake. There is no explanation at all, and the document actually appears in front of them.

"All you are thinking about is how to frame our dear grandson, and you have no intention of investigating the case. Do we have to say, thank you for your hard work in framing our dear grandson?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice was like a cold wind blowing slowly through the courtroom, making everyone tremble with the coldness.

"Don't dare!"

Hu Yan and the others could only say in unison.

Zhan Hui almost wanted to curse.

With such a good opportunity and everything prepared, Jin Yiwei could find out the problem. The trial of the three divisions had just begun, and the third division was almost annihilated.

That idiot Hou Tai, couldn't he count how many copies of the documents there were?
  So angry!

Other officials who were watching were extremely disappointed with Hou Tai.

Officials who supported Zhu Xuan, such as Yang Shiqi, Qi Tai and others, were also listening. They almost couldn't help but laugh. The three departments were already so unreliable. What they found would only be even more unreliable and difficult to use as evidence. Be convincing.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not punish them at this time, but waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, get up and continue the interrogation!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Their voices were trembling.

It's okay now, but it doesn't mean it will be okay in the future. Emperor Zhu was very vengeful and tolerant. Hu Weiyong was so arrogant back then, and Zhu Yuanzhang could endure it for so many years before wielding the butcher's knife.

Sit back down.

Seeing that Hou Tai didn't dare to speak, Hu Yan first said: "But... someone is really dead!"

"Even if someone dies, it's not necessarily because of cosmetics."

Zhu Xuan retorted directly and asked: "Master Jiang, right?"

"That's right!"

Jiang Wei echoed: "The reason why our Jinyi Guards took away the records of the twenty-fifth person is because I wanted to take away one of the women with facial ulcers and go back for investigation, but that woman is still alive and well, and her ulcerated face does not require medicine. He’s healed too, bring people up.”

After a while.

An ordinary woman walked into the court with trepidation.

How had she seen such a big scene?

As soon as I came in, my legs went weak and I knelt on the ground.

He didn't dare to raise his head, just looking at the ground.

The pressure from the Criminal Court was too great for her.

"Maybe this woman didn't use a lot of cosmetics and the toxicity was not strong, so she came back to life."

Hou Tai said bravely.

Jiang Wei said: "Master Hou is right, but we Jin Yiwei have collected all the corpses of women who died of poisoning. We have dissected five corpses, and all of them are just rotten in the stomach, and the stomach is completely black. If you don't believe it, We can bring a corpse over now for you to dissect.”

"No... no need!"

Lian Zining said he didn't want to see something with such strong taste.

Hu Yan said: "But this doesn't prove anything?"

Jiang Wei said: "Of course. If it is facial poisoning, the toxins will accumulate on the face, and the cheek bones will turn black and rot, but the body will not. The black rot will occur in the stomach. What do you think, Mr. Hu?"

Hu Yan: "..."

The truth seems to be this.

They had looked at some of the autopsy reports submitted by the officials below on the murder cases, and it was indeed true that they were poisoned. The other officials became anxious here.

Could this also make Zhu Xuan stand up?

They are not reconciled!

Zhan Hui kept winking at Hou Tai, signaling Hou Tai to question him quickly.

Zhu Xuan must not be allowed to stand up.

Hou Taiwei said: "But these are just Mr. Jiang's guesses."

"That's right!"

Jiang Wei said casually: "How about you listen to what the witness said?"

"Witness, if you have any questions, you can say it boldly. This is the court of the Ministry of Justice, and His Majesty is here to make the decision for you."

Hou Tai said.

The woman just raised her head, glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang secretly, and cried: "The daughter of the people... The daughter of the people received money from a mysterious man. He asked the daughter of the people to add a little poison to the cosmetics to help him frame a person. All he had to do was Well done, I will give another five hundred taels to the daughter of the people..."

"Who is that person?" Zhu Song asked.

"No...don't know."

The woman used all her courage to say this.

Jin Yiwei could not find out who that person was, but he was certain that he must be someone from the White Lotus Sect.

But after the woman finished speaking, the officials who stood up for Zhu Yunwen in the court felt a sense of frustration again.

This time it failed again, and Zhu Yunwen basically had no hope.

Especially Hou Tai and others, the officials of the Third Division, now regret it. If they had known better, they would not have listened to Zhu Yunwen's nonsense.

Wang Du was miserable enough before, but now that he has stepped in, it seems that he has forgotten Wang Du's miserable situation.

"In addition, I have other evidence."

After Jiang Wei threw out these two pieces of evidence, he added: "I found out that the families of those dead women had a huge sum of money for no reason. Their origins were very suspicious, so someone brought them in."

After a while.

All family members were brought into court by Jin Yiwei.

The huge court hall was quickly filled with people.

They all knelt down, trembling now.

Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's power, they, like the woman, did not dare to raise their heads.

"Master of the Third Division, do you want to interrogate them?"

Jiang Wei asked calmly, his eyes sweeping over many officials.

The officials present didn't know what else to say.

They were all mute.

"You continue to interrogate!"

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "We admit that selling filthy books and competing for profits from the people, but poisonous cosmetics have nothing to do with us. As for other crimes, such as bullying scholars, if you continue to investigate, I can cooperate, but the most important thing at the moment is After we investigate the poisonous cosmetics, I will cooperate with you."

Officials: "..."

How else can I check now?
  All the evidence is available. Zhu Xuan and Zhu Song are innocent in the poisonous cosmetics incident. Zhu Yunwen used officials to frame Zhu Xuan and the others.

As for other matters, they are all trivial. As long as Zhu Xuan can give a reasonable explanation, the matter will be over.

Hou Tai and the others had no choice or idea, so they could only look at Zhan Hui.

Zhan Hui is also very anxious now. Why hasn't the person who arranged the parade and made the matter bigger come yet?
  It was not promised that it would appear on the day of the three-party trial.

He just waited for those who made trouble to save the situation and make the matter bigger.

"Zhan Hui, let's see if you are in such a hurry, are you waiting for someone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded unhurriedly.

A simple sentence scared Zhan Hui to his knees.
