When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 277
"But Liu Shangshu, since he is a murderer, why did he keep the evidence?" Xu Jin frowned. He didn't believe that a person who had been in the officialdom for so many years would have such a low IQ.

"Because..." Liu Shangshu sighed softly, looking around the faces of the crowd, "This is evidence..."

Everyone looked at him for no reason.

Liu Shangshu explained that when he investigated, the man dressed as a beggar did not cooperate.So Liu Shangshu sent people to investigate the places where the man often went, and took away all the people who had contact with him for interrogation.

It was also during this process that a pawnshop owner immediately confessed that the man had pawned a beautiful jade pendant in order to protect himself.The man had bitten to death with one bite, and it was his own.It's a pity that the bones are hard and there are also weaknesses.The Ministry of Punishment resorted to the most painful criminal law to get clues from him.

After getting clues, they immediately arrested the young man and brought him to justice.The other party readily admitted that everything aroused his suspicion, but the other party revealed his true identity and pointed out that there was a spy in the palace...

"This imperial palace has meticulous work." The young man said, his expression was weary, and his words were weak.

"Do you have evidence?" an official asked.

"I, and those objects are the evidence." The young man pushed back his messy hair.His face was a little haggard, and there were big bruises under his eyes.

Baiguan looked at him for a while, but didn't see a thing or two.

"I am the prince's personal bodyguard, Quan Li." The young man said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes showed shock, and they looked at him with complicated and puzzled eyes.

"And this detailed work..." Quan Li's eyes were full of grief, "It's in this court."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and there seemed to be a little alienation and suspicion in each other's eyes.

Cheng Muqing behind the screen couldn't help but also stood up, she turned around and stood in front of the screen.She has always had good eyesight, but this time it took a long time to realize that the man was indeed right.

He had changed so much that she couldn't even tell.

"It's Zhao Duofu!" Quan Li pointed sharply.

Zhao Duofu was taken aback by his pointing, he frowned, "Don't talk nonsense, kid..."

"Are you talking nonsense, you know it!" Quan Li growled, "Your Highness was killed by you!"

"You bullshit!"

"Then tell me, when you were assassinated, why weren't you by His Highness's side? Because Your Highness will have your sign at the place where His Highness fell off the cliff?" Quan Li stepped forward quickly, and grabbed a token from the tray beside Liu Shangshu.

The four words "General Huaihua" are impressively written on the token.

"Also, this dagger pierced through his clothes and stuck on the edge of the cliff..." Quan Li pursed his lips, "These are all yours, General Zhao. I don't want to believe that it was you, but the soldiers brought out by His Highness, Only your subordinates have returned with all their beards and tails. It is clear that you have colluded with the North, and your Highness has lost all bones!"

The hair that had just been tidied up fell down and drooped on his cheeks.On his dark face, there was touching grief, "The remnants of the Qi Kingdom fled to the north, and the north has always been the heart disease of His Highness. His Highness is ambitious and determined to unify the Central Plains. I never thought that it would be destroyed by people I trust. hands."

He is Lin Yan's personal bodyguard, and now he has a broken arm. The scale in the hearts of all officials is also tilted towards Quanli at this moment.

A trace of hesitation flashed across Zhao Duofu's face, and he immediately retorted, "Someone must have set me up!"

"General Zhao, now the witnesses and material evidence point to you as the person who indirectly killed King Wen Xiao, what evidence do you have to refute?" Li Lan said calmly.

"I..." He did not.

"It's a good place for a thief to call catch a thief." Li Lan sneered.

"In this matter, General Zhao and Qiguo's remnants cooperated internally and externally, and General Zhao also asked for advice, why?" Cao Da straightened his body and asked the bottom line.

Li Lan glanced at the person behind him and said, "I must want to bring out King Wen Xiao to suppress His Majesty and shake the foundation of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"His heart should be punished!" An official shouted.

Immediately afterwards, one sound followed closely behind.

Zhao Duofu froze in place, listening to the voices around him, his mind went blank and dazed.

"Stay here." Liu Shangshu waved his hand, unable to bear to look at it.

"Your Majesty, how will Zhao Duofu deal with it?" Li Lan started talking about the business.

"Sent to the Golden Eagle Division." Lin Heng frowned and said, "Retrial."

"Your Majesty, the matter is clear now, and I think it can't be delayed any longer." Cao Da in the audience also opened his mouth, and he cupped his hands, "If you don't punish, how will your majesty build up your prestige?"

"Then what do you say?"

Cao Da heard the displeasure in his ears, but he still said loudly, "Behead in the afternoon."

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, ask to cut...

After going to court, Cheng Muqing deliberately called Quan Li to him.

Quan Li seemed to be a completely different person, becoming taciturn and impolite.

Jinxi poured tea for him, and just as he brought the tea bowl in front of him, he snatched it away.

"You..." Jinxi showed displeasure, but she held back.She turned to look at Cheng Muqing, seeing her nod her head slightly, she took her leave.

In the huge Fengyi Palace, the double doors are open, and the breeze blows through the hall, and the incense balls hanging on the corridor shake slightly, overflowing with a little fresh fragrance.

"I didn't expect you to become a queen." Quan Li just wanted to drink tea, but his tongue was scalded by the hot tea.He frowned, and dropped the tea bowl to the ground.

"I didn't expect that you would become like this." Cheng Muqing didn't show any anger at his rude behavior.She was sitting in a high position, holding a tea bowl in her hand, with a dignified and majestic posture.

The air seemed to be silent.

"You bought that beggar, and entrusted him with the imperial decree of Princess Wenxiao, so that we can find you and identify Zhao Duofu." Cheng Muqing said slowly, "But I don't understand one thing. Your Majesty, do you have an opinion? What happened to King Wen Xiao at that time?"

Quan Li raised his legs, as if he didn't hear.

"Quanli, now is not the time to be arrogant." Cheng Muqing got up, walked straight to him, and looked at him with cold eyes.

"It's nothing more than going to the north to suppress the barbarians." Quan Li said, "Because the remnants of the Qi Kingdom married Wang Wang and stationed there, they always instigated the barbarians to resist the Jin Dynasty. Although His Highness was not satisfied with the late emperor's sending him to suppress, but he knew in his heart This is indeed a good opportunity to improve his reputation. So he reluctantly accepted it and went to the north."

"But before he arrived, a eunuch came and said that the late emperor had passed away. Zhao Duofu then yelled that His Highness was going to ascend the throne... His Highness is so thoughtful, how could he be fooled? After receiving the order, he secretly detained the eunuch and sent A few hidden guards have returned to Beijing."

This is somewhat overlapping with the previously heard version.
