Back to Tang Dynasty to be Emperor

Li You, he was at a loss, he didn't know how to explain to Wei Zheng, and he didn't know how to justify.He just didn't expect that Zhang Zhong would keep such a trick, he didn't expect that his plan would still be secret in the end.

Yes, Zhang Zhong's perjury was his instigation and plan. How could he, who hated Li Ke to the core, let go of such an opportunity to make things worse?As for the medicinal materials, he also took them away. His purpose of taking these medicinal materials was obvious, and his purpose was still to frame Li Ke. His purpose of taking these medicinal materials was that the Queen died of no cure when she was poisoned. Li Shimin is sure that Li Ke will not be convicted in three trials.It's just that now suddenly he suddenly found a flaw in his plan, and it was an irreparable flaw. He didn't expect to see Zhang Zhong destroying the account books of medicinal materials in and out of the medicinal food room with his own hands. He never thought that the dead eunuch would return There will be such a hand.

Then, the trial of the case was not over yet, just when Wei Zheng wanted to continue to ask Li You why, the Dali Temple clerk reported back to Wei Zheng, saying that Deng Tongda, the magistrate of Chang'an County outside the door, asked for an interview, saying that he had to submit important evidence.

"Biography!" Wei Zheng said in a serious tone, having become very calm up to now.

The yamen servant left, and soon brought Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi to the court. Behind Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi were seven or eight policemen from Chang'an County and a few ordinary people in Chang'an who were not very well dressed.

Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi first saluted Li Ke and Li Tai, and then Wei Zheng and others, while several Chang'an people around him knelt behind him after they came to the lobby.

Wei Zheng saw Deng Tongda and the policemen around him, and asked, "Magistrate Deng, I heard that there is evidence to be presented to this officer, but what kind of evidence is it?"

Seeing Wei Zheng questioning him, Deng Tongda quickly took out a few sheets of paper full of words from his sleeve and handed them to Wei Zheng.Wei Zheng read everything on the paper in detail, his face was gloomy and terrifying, "Magistrate Deng, where did you get this confession? Is what the confession said true?"

From Wei Zheng's expression, it can be seen how serious the situation is, and the other Wang's jurors also read the confession in turn, and their faces also showed a terrifying expression.Especially Wang, his expression was very serious, and he said in a stern tone, "Magistrate Deng, can you read this confession beforehand, and who else has read it besides you? The situation stated in the confession is serious, can you Tell me, who did you get this confession from?"

Naturally, Deng Tongda hadn't read the confession, but Li Ke had already arranged it. Naturally, he wouldn't be intimidated by what Wei Zheng and Wang said, and said neither humble nor overbearing, "Report to Secretary Supervisor and Wang Shilang. Found in the court, in addition to this, there was a note, which said to ask the next official to find witnesses and physical evidence at this address, and said that after the witnesses and characters were found, they should be handed over to Dali Temple without delay. The officials know the seriousness of the situation, so they dare not be negligent, and come directly to Dali Temple after finding witnesses and physical evidence according to the note, as for the things written on it, the officials have not read it."

"You said there are still witnesses and physical evidence?" Wei Zheng asked suddenly, "Where are the personal and physical evidence? Pass it up quickly?"

"Promise!" Deng Tongda said, and then said to Zuo Yi beside him, "Zuo Yi, bring the witness and physical evidence to the court."

At the same time, he handed the note to Dai Zhou who was nearby!

Zuo Yi led the order and walked out of the lobby. After a while, he walked into the lobby with a middle-aged man. The first person Li Ke saw this man was "Teng", stood up and shouted "Sheng Deyan!" ?”, and the middle-aged man heard Li Ke calling his name, and at the moment he saw Li Ke, he suddenly pushed his left wing away, staggered forward a few steps and saluted Li Ke, “Your Highness, I’m late. Your Highness has been wronged, please punish him!"

Li Ke hurriedly lifted Sheng Deyan up in front of him, and said sincerely, "Doctor Sheng, it would be great if you could come. You are the one who cleared up the crime of killing this king. How can this king punish you?"

Immediately, Li Ke said to Wei Zheng, "Secretary Superintendent Wei, this is Sheng Deyan, the doctor I told you about when I rescued people on Zhuque Street. He drove it."

After Li Ke finished speaking, Sheng Deyan saluted Wei Zheng and others.

Seeing that Sheng Deyan was very weak, and knowing what happened to him through the content of the confession, Wei Zheng did not let him kneel and speak. Sheng Deyan stood up and told Wei Zheng that he followed Li Ke's instructions on Zhuque Street He ordered an old man to be healed and prescribed a prescription, and the prescription contained several precious herbs, and these few herbs were also given to him by Li Ke at night.

After listening carefully to Sheng Deyan's narration, Wei Zheng asked again, "Sheng Deyan, is what you just said true? You need to know the consequences of perjury!"

"Chief judge Wei, everything Cao Ming said is true!" Sheng Deyan said.

"That means everything in your confession is true?" Wei Zheng asked, taking out a copy of the confession that Deng Tongda gave him.

"Yes!" Sheng Deyan replied simply.

"Okay, Sheng Deyan, you can go down!" Wei Zheng finished speaking, and when Sheng Deyan left the courtroom, he said to Deng Tongda, "What do these people kneeling behind you do? Are they the witnesses of these confessions? ?”

"Cao Ming has met the presiding judge Wei, and everything in the confession is true. We have no intention of deceiving the presiding judge." A Chang'an citizen kneeling on the ground said.

"The confession said that you sold carriages, cloth bags, ropes and other things to others. Are you sure that the carriages, cloth bags and ropes used to kidnap Sheng Deyan were all sold from your store?" Wei Zheng continued to ask.

"Returning to the chief judge, we have been making these things for decades, and some of them are family-handed craftsmanship. The things we make have our own unique characteristics, so we can't make mistakes." One of the Chang'an residents said.

"Okay, if you say that, the official will believe you, you go down first!" Wei Zheng said.

Several Chang'an civilians kneeling on the ground followed the yamen servants of Dali Temple and exited the hall.

"Magistrate Deng, what about the remaining witnesses in this statement? This is the key person in this case!" Wei Zheng read the last statement with a sigh.

"This lower official doesn't know either. The lower official went to that place to find people according to the note, and found these few people." Deng Tongda replied.He hadn't read the confession himself, so naturally he didn't know the meaning of Wei Zheng's words.But Wei Zheng, Wang and others knew the importance of this person after reading the confession.

Wei Zheng and others would not doubt Deng Tongda's words. He said it would be best if I didn't, and they would not ask Deng Tongda any more.It's just that they have read all the notes, and they can't see anything. They are very puzzled how the case has become so responsible until now.However, there is one thing they know very well, that is, by finding out the real cause of Xianglan's death, Zhang Zhong perjured her death, the death of imperial physician Sun Yan and the testimony of doctor Sheng Deyan can prove that Li Ke's crime no longer exists.As for Li You, according to the current evidence, no charges can be determined.

Therefore, after discussing for a long time, Wei Zheng and others finally came to a conclusion that Li Ke was not guilty of poisoning, and Li You was the most suspected.But the matter was not over at this time, not only did it not end, but it became more chaotic. The reason was the few confessions in Wei Zheng's hand, some Chang'an people and the doctor Sheng Deyan.

Therefore, the matter developed beyond the scope of his control, Wei Zheng discussed with Wang and others, and finally decided to report the situation to Li Shimin to see what instructions Li Shimin had.
