Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

In the afternoon, the presiding judge Wei Zheng and the jurors Li Xiaogong, Wang, Liu Zhenghui, Sun Fujia and Dai Zhou began to try the envoys of Fusang and Korea in Dali Temple, and Li Ke, Li Tai and Li You, who were key figures in the case, also attended the trial. List.

Li Ke came very late. When he arrived at the lobby of Dali Temple, Li Tai, Li You and the presiding judges had already taken their seats. Li Ke smiled apologetically at everyone, and then sat in the seats that had been arranged.

Although his charges have been cleared, Li Ke still knows the reasons why Wei Zheng and others allowed him to sit in on the hearing: First, because Li You's charges have not yet been determined, Li Ke's attitude played a key role in determining Li You's charges.Second, among all the evidence that can be used to sue Princess Fusang, Li Ke obtained the most personal and physical evidence, including that the beasts were many Fusang warriors. Wei Zheng and others wanted Li Ke to attend the hearing because they wanted him to give him support in this regard when necessary.As for Li Tai, it may be Wang's arrangement for Li Ke to let him sit in. He wants Li Tai to have more contact with criminal cases so that he can accumulate more experience in this area.

Seeing Li Ke on the spot, Wei Zheng ordered the yamen servants to bring Fusang and the Goryeo envoys to the lobby. The yamen servants agreed to leave the lobby, and after a while, they took the Susang envoys Morita Rieko, Inugami Mita, and Pharmacist Huiri, and the Goryeo envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi. To the court.

"Secretary Supervisor Wei, I don't know what crime I, a weak woman, have committed? You ordered me to be arrested in the dungeon of Dali Temple and imprisoned us in the dungeon for a day and a night?" Rieko Morita walked into the lobby and saw Li Ke, Li You and the two couldn't help being taken aback for a while, but she recovered her normal state in an instant, and said to Wei Zheng who was sitting in the main seat.

However, Li Ke knew that Rieko Morita wanted to use offense instead of defense. She said "we" instead of "I" in her last sentence, which fully expressed her purpose. She wanted to unite with the other four to put pressure on Wei Zheng.

"Princess, four envoys, the Dali Temple has always arrested villains who violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty and hurt the people of the Tang Dynasty. There is a reason for arresting you to the dungeon of the Dali Temple. Don't worry, as long as you can prove your innocence, I will The official can release you on the spot." Wei Zheng ignored Rieko Morita's pressure, and replied solemnly, "However, the facts prove that the evidence of your crime is solid, and the official will definitely punish you severely, and will never tolerate adultery."

"Now, I want to tell you one thing. Someone has accused the princess of intending to kill him at Dali Temple. Moreover, according to our investigation, it was found that Her Royal Highness was involved in the poisoning case in the palace. Of course, it also involved Goryeo. The two envoys of the country, and the purpose of my official meeting today is to give justice to the accusers, and to find out whether the two envoys, the princess and Gao Li, really participated in the poisoning case in the palace." Wei Zheng continued, "His Royal Highness , you should remember what happened on Suzaku Street? At that time, you and Hanwang treated a poisoned patient, and you also knew the doctor Sheng Deyan who treated the patient at that time? It was he who wanted to sue you. His pleading said that you first Threatening to use him to serve the Fusang Kingdom, and when he refused in every possible way, you made a killing plan and ordered the warriors around you to throw him into the Weishui River outside the city. Moreover, you should know that the words of the holy virtues prove that His Highness the King of Han Whether it is an important witness related to the poisoning case, and when the palace poisoning case urgently needed Sheng Deyan to prove the innocence of the King of Han, you, the princess, secretly captured him and murdered such an important witness. This official suspects that you were involved in the poisoning case in the palace. This official is thinking that your words to appease Sheng De are false, and your real purpose is to kill His Highness and frame His Royal Highness."

"What? There will be such a thing?" Inugami Mita and Yakushi Eri couldn't believe that Morita Rieko would do such a bold thing, their faces turned pale at the same time, Inugami Mita tried his best Keeping calm, he asked Wei Zheng, "The emissary wants to ask Secretary Wei, if Secretary Wei has conclusive evidence to prove that the princess is involved in this case?"

Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi on the side also took the opportunity to clamor for Wei Zheng to produce evidence, saying that they should not be framed for such crimes indiscriminately. On the contrary, Morita Rieko herself was surprisingly silent, just staring at Li Ke silently.

"The two envoys, Inugami Mita and Yakushi Huiri, if I want to arrest people, I will naturally have witnesses and physical evidence. Otherwise, diplomatic relations between the two countries will be imminent. How can I frame Her Royal Highness indiscriminately?" Wei Zhengdao, "As for the two of you? Participated in this case, I don't have conclusive evidence, but as Fusang's official envoy to Datang, since Princess Morita Rieko, the deputy envoy of your mission, is involved in this case, you are responsible for all the consequences, so I The official can only imprison you."

After Wei Zheng explained this, Inugami Mita Suki and Pharmacist Huiri stopped talking.Indeed, what Wei Zheng said was quite correct. As Fusang's official envoys to the Tang Dynasty, if such a major event happened in the mission, they really had to bear the responsibility for the consequences.However, Rieko Morita has done a big thing now. She is poisoning the queen and the noble concubine. How can the Tang Dynasty let go of such a serious crime?If Datang insisted on pursuing it to the end and asked them to give an explanation, what would the two of them do?

The two obtained a lot of information through Wei Zheng's words, and immediately thought of the problem that needed to be solved.Suddenly, Inugami Mita and Yakushi Eri seemed to have figured something out, they couldn't help but glanced at each other, and smiled knowingly.

I heard Inugami Mita said in a deep voice, "Secretary Wei, please rest assured, as Fusang's official envoy to Datang, as long as Datang can produce enough evidence to prove that the princess is involved in this case, our Fusang will definitely be in Datang's case." Confession."

"Yes! Our Fusang is absolutely nothing more than appeasement and nurturing!" Pharmacist Hui Ri also echoed.

"The two envoys have declared righteousness, and I admire them very much!" Wei Zheng said, "Come here, give the two envoys their resignation!"

"Thank you, Secretary Wei!" Inugami Mita and Pharmacist Hui Ri respectfully sat on the chair brought by the yamen servant. The two became aloof when they sat on the chair, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that their wise choice was correct.

The same Wei Zheng also achieved their goal of separating the Fusang missions and uniting them.

Inugami Mita and Yakushi Huiri turned their backs and publicly supported Wei Zheng and Datang. Morita Rieko had already thought of this in her heart, but she still had a sad expression on her face when she heard and saw it with her own eyes.

At the same time, Rieko Morita shifted her gaze to Li You. Li You realized that Rieko Morita was watching him, and was startled suddenly, not daring to meet her gaze.

"Heh" Morita Rieko sneered, "His Royal Highness, is it difficult for my family to read the full text o]o? Why doesn't Your Highness want to look at my family directly?"

Although Morita Rieko's voice was very charming, but with her sneer just now, her words were quite intriguing.

"Princess, please show some respect. As Fusang's deputy envoy to the Tang Dynasty, and as the princess of Fusang Kingdom, please don't lose the etiquette of Fusang Kingdom!" Li You replied coldly, since Quan Wanji gave him After paying attention to death and denying his account, he began to be cold-hearted towards Rieko Morita, and he almost mobilized others to criticize him.

"Hmph!" Morita Rieko understood what Li You was thinking, and turned his gaze to Wei Zhengdao, "Just now Secretary Wei said that there are witnesses and physical evidence of my participation in the poisoning case in the palace, so please ask Secretary Wei to supervise me." Let me see the personal and physical evidence of what you have done! I would like to see what evidence your Dali Temple in the Tang Dynasty has to dare to frame me like this. However, Secretary Wei just now seemed to say that the two envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom were also involved in the palace For the case of poisoning, please bring out the personal and material evidence, so that the two envoys Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi can understand whether they have been wronged."

"Yes! Secretary Wei said that the two of us were involved in the imperial palace poisoning case, so please show evidence!" Gao Shouyan said in a deep voice. Seeing Rieko Morita's tough attitude towards Wei Zheng, he naturally knew that she did this to make the passive He became active, and Gao Shouyan and Li Siqi, who were secretly colluding with Princess Fusang, naturally formed a group with Morita Rieko.

Rieko Morita wanted witnesses, and Wei Zheng naturally had them, and the witnesses in his hands were enough to behead her ten times.However, Wei Zheng really didn't have any evidence from the Goryeo envoy. The reason why he wanted to arrest the two of them was that the old man who was poisoned on Suzaku Street mentioned in Sheng Deyan's confession might have come from the Goryeo envoy. Some reason.

"Secretary Superintendent Wei, why haven't you produced witnesses and physical evidence?" Li Siqi urged Wei Zheng again when he noticed Wei Zheng's hesitation.Obviously, Wei Zheng's hesitation made him suspect that Wei Zheng might not have the so-called evidence, and he said that he had evidence to intimidate himself.Therefore, Li Siqi became even more arrogant. He said loudly, "Secretary Superintendent Wei, Dali Siqing and Dai Shaoqing, if you don't have evidence, you will be detaining the envoy of another country without permission. Can you afford this crime?"

"Shut up! No noise is allowed in Li Siqi's courtroom!" Wei Zheng roared, "You are still a suspect, and I am the presiding judge of this case. Now I haven't asked you a question, and it's not your turn to intervene."

Si Qi was yelled at by Wei Zheng, and just as he was about to refute, he heard Wei Zheng say, "If you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for being rude, and I will let you slap your lips twenty times as a warning to others."

Wei Zheng's deterrent words had an effect. Li Siqi didn't dare to speak anymore when he saw Wei Zheng's stern face and heard his cold words. He could only turn his eyes to Gao Shouyan, who obviously meant to let him continue to ask for evidence. His The idea is simple, I just don't want to give Wei Zheng a chance to breathe.

However, just when Gao Shouyan was about to speak, Li Ke suddenly said with a smile, "Is scorpion a precious medicinal material produced in the foothills of Changbai Mountain? This king thinks that no one can collect such a precious medicinal material except Korea Yes. Deputy Envoy Li, the poison on the old man on Suzaku Street was also from a rare herbal medicine in Changbai Mountain. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no one has been able to obtain Changbai Mountain, let alone collect such precious ones. Medicinal materials and poisonous weeds, you should also know that the poisons poisoned by the old man on Zhuque Street, the queen of the palace, and the concubine Yin can only be collected in Changbai Mountain.
