I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 38

Liu He kept cursing in his heart, but on his face he had a sad face, hating iron for being weak and saying to Liu Yishan:
"Nephew, I think I have never treated you badly, but why are you treating me like this now?!

You secretly use my name to commit crimes and extort money.

Now that the Dongchuang incident has been revealed, you still want to frame me for injustice? ! "

Liu He said, turning his head to look at Liu Han, with tears in his eyes, heartbroken.

"Brother, we are a family after all, why do you want to kill me so far?!
You and Yishan went astray and hurt yourself. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your sister-in-law? "

Liu Han's pupils shrank, looking at his younger brother's eyes, his lips trembled.

Liu Yishan was filled with resentment when he heard this, since he was arrogant, extravagant and dissipated since he was a child, he has developed a cruel and selfish temperament.

He felt that his uncle could rely on Prime Minister Cui to get rid of his charges, but he refused to save them!

And they want to force them to death, so vicious and selfish, what kind of family are you talking about? !
Maybe he is just trying to get revenge for the trouble he caused before, so he puts the blame on them!
If it was his son who was kneeling in this hall now, he wouldn't be so cruel!
Liu Yishan said bitterly: "Your Majesty, everything we did was ordered by Liu He behind the scenes!
Everything he said was a lie!He just wants me and my dad to take the blame!

My dad said it last night,

The reason why Liu He's name is not on the account book is that

That's because Liu He and my father said that they are a family, and there is no need to divide the account too clearly, as long as the outsider's share is accounted for!

It can be seen that at that time, Liu He must have made a plan, and if the matter was revealed one day, he would completely evade himself..."

The pale-faced Liu Han suddenly interrupted his son's complaint in a hoarse voice: "... Nizi! Shut up!"

"Father!" Liu Yishan looked at Liu Han with red eyes, "Liu He is heartless and ungrateful, do you really want to take the blame for him?"

Cui Cen frowned and looked at Liu Yishan in surprise.

Liu He is really confused, this kind of nephew who is selfish, stupid and short-sighted, should draw a clear line with him as soon as possible!
In order not to get into trouble for myself now, I still bite like a mad dog.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yishan has done a lot of evil. From his words, it is clear that he has a lot of resentment towards Lord Liu.
If he deliberately made a false confession for revenge, will His Majesty also be punished accordingly?

Besides, His Majesty just said that other people also confessed that Mr. Liu was involved in it,
But I didn't see the confession, and I didn't hear other people speak, why don't I let them talk about it, is it true? "

Cui Cen glanced lightly at the dozen or so officials kneeling, and said unhurriedly.

"Everyone, as long as you are willing to recruit from the truth, His Majesty will see that you are actively repenting, and you will be lenient.

But if you don't know repentance, and cheat other innocent people,
If the truth is found out, they will be punished severely, and the whole family will be implicated! "

Xin Zhao's eyes were cold.

Cui Cen's attitude was extremely arrogant when he said such words in front of the emperor!
Directly threaten the group of officials to speak carefully? !Don't pay attention to him at all!
Xin Zhao squeezed the gavel tightly with five fingers, suppressing the surging emotion in his eyes, he sighed.

"Prime Minister Cui, these people are punished according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, and the most serious ones are also from the three clans.

You directly implicate the nine clans as soon as you open your mouth. Are you ignoring the laws set by my emperor Taizu?
If everyone behaved as the prime minister thought, and dealt with prisoners as they wished,

Then what credibility does my Great Qin court have among the people, and how can it be called fair and just?
Although I am young, I still know these crude ways of governing the country.

Prime Minister Cui, as the head of all the officials, you should set a correct example for all the officials. "

Standing with his hands in his hands, Cui Luan, who was the background board, turned his eyes around the emperor's ashen face with great interest, and felt that today's scene was more exciting than expected.

The emperor has been refreshing his cognition these days.

In every contest with his elder brother, the emperor is more tolerant than he expected.

Like now, Cui Cen bluntly said in front of the emperor that he was implicating the nine clans.

Not only to warn those officials, but also to shake the emperor's face.

This was the emperor who had been thrown in the face by Cui Cen so directly in front of all the ministers since the emperor came to power.

The emperor's expression was on the verge of breaking out, but he still endured it.

Not only did he not talk back, he also said these words in a reasonable way.

But anyone with a brain can hear that the emperor is turning around and stabbing Cui Cen.

It's a pity that the current emperor, fighting an old fox like his brother, will suffer the most.

Cui Cen was annoyed for a while, his expression became a little cold, he suddenly raised his eyes to look directly at Xin Zhao.

"Since the emperor keeps saying that he is fair and just,

But with only one account book and a few confessions that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, it is determined that Mr. Liu is corrupt and accepting bribes.
The veteran is dull, I don't know what kind of fairness and justice is this? "

Xin Zhao secretly took a deep breath, told himself to be patient, first write down the account of this old man in a small book!
Liu Muzhi suddenly bowed to Xin Zhao and said:

"Your Majesty, when these officials were brought to justice last night, Xichang had interrogated them and recorded a complete statement.
The ministers also saw it in their eyes. They didn't have the slightest scar on their bodies, and what they said was definitely not a trick of torture.

Your Majesty can give the confession to Prime Minister Cui and other ministers for reading. If there is any discrepancy between what they say later and the confession,

It is to deliberately deceive the emperor, even if His Majesty is benevolent, and intends to give them a chance to reform,

It's also because they don't know how to cherish, as Prime Minister Cui said, they should be blamed for the whole family. "

Xin Zhao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise Liu Muzhi in his heart.

This man is usually taciturn, but he is not clumsy.

Cui Cen rubbed his hands secretly to warn those officials not to talk nonsense.

But what Liu Muzhi said now blocked their thoughts of changing their confession.

Xin Zhao looked at the dozen or so people who were kneeling in the hall with uneasy expressions, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said loudly:
"Fortunately, Liu Aiqing reminded me, but I didn't expect this.

Come here, distribute the confessions they confessed last night to Prime Minister Cui and the ministers for circulation.

Dear friends, testify that if what these people say in the future proves to be false, the crime will be added and the nine families will be implicated!
If their words cannot completely prove Liu He's innocence, then Liu He will be put in prison and will be tried again after the truth is found out!

Prime Minister Cui, what do you think? "

The imperial eunuch distributed the confession according to the emperor's order.

Cui Cen squeezed the confession in his hand, his face was a little ugly.

The other ministers also had different complexions and exchanged glances with each other, but no one spoke.

Xin Zhao stared at the dozens of officials coldly, and said in a deep voice:

"Now you can say, Jiang Dawei, start with you!"

The dozens of officials were flustered, this... this!The Emperor and Prime Minister Cui have already talked about this point, what should they say? !
I felt that no matter what I said, not only would I be sure to die, but even my family members would be buried with me!

Jiang Dawei, who was called first, knelt on the ground and shivered slightly, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.

He felt that when he was arrested last night, he was not more flustered than this moment.
