Chapter 475 Overturning the verdict
"Yao Chengping was kind to me. At that time, I was already a centurion in the Xin Family Army and wanted to leave the Xin Family Army and follow him, but he asked me to stay and monitor Zhao Pinghou's every move."
The words of the second witness, the Xin Family Army tattoo he showed, and the correspondence between him and Yao Chengping were displayed.
The words of the second witness aroused the anger of the people.
"This Yao Chengping is such a ruthless guy. It's a waste of the Xin family's efforts to raise him like their own son!"
The black sack on the head of the third witness was also taken off. This person was none other than Liu Xi, the former director of the Imperial Observatory. He was now neatly dressed and looked solemn, looking much more normal than he was half a month ago when he was crazy.
"Yao Chengping threatened me with my family and asked me to speak to the emperor. The emperor was seriously ill and was suppressed by an evil star. This evil star was in the direction of Linlang Street."
"As for the witchcraft items and the privately made jade seal found in Zhaoping Marquis's mansion, they were all placed there by Yao Chengping's sister."
"When Yao Chengping was young, he and his sister were wandering on the streets. They were picked up by Marquis Zhaoping and brought back to the mansion. Yao Chengping began to practice martial arts, while his sister stayed in Marquis Zhaoping's mansion. Although she stayed with the third daughter of the Xin family as a maid, the Marquis Zhaoping's family treated her very well."
"These two are indeed siblings, they are equally ruthless and ruthless."
There was a kind of calm despair on Liu Xi's face. He knew that he had done something wrong and that there would always be a day when he would be judged.
"I know this so clearly because I'm afraid that Yao Chengping will kill me in the future, so I kept it to myself."
"Although the wizard who made the witchcraft puppet and the craftsman who made the private jade seal are all dead, I still have the original wood for the witchcraft puppet and the mold for the private jade seal."
"Everyone should remember, if anything happens to me, Liu Xi, in the future, it will be Yao Chengping who sent someone to do it!"
All these witnesses and evidence are gathered here today, not because Zhang Yuan was lucky enough to gather so much evidence at once.
These pieces of evidence were collected one by one by the Beijing team who had been lurking in Beijing for three years. Finally today, these pieces of evidence were strung together and revealed to the public!
The evidence was irrefutable and everyone was shocked. It turned out that the exile of Marquis Zhaoping was a shocking conspiracy.
"The Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion has been wronged for three years! The Zhaoping Marquis's family has wasted three years on a deserted island!"
"June's flying snow is truly wronged! It means that even God can't stand it anymore!"
As the people were sighing excitedly, Li Zhiyi, the Dali Temple Secretary, came out of the Dali Temple. He made a gesture to stop Zhang Yuan: "Wait!"
Li Zhiyi was forced to do something by his immediate superior Lu Sui. Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still very nervous when he saw the huge crowds of people in front of the Dali Temple.
He shouted at the first witness at the entrance of the Dali Temple: "Who knows whether this account book of yours, which claims to be the original from the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion, is a forgery?"
The boiling crowd was silent for a moment, and then someone shouted:
"Me! I'm the shopkeeper of Xingwang Commercial Bank. I believe many of you know me. I used to have purchase dealings with the Zhaoping Marquis's Mansion!"
"Because I admire the prince of Marquis Zhaoping so much, I still have the purchase list from three years ago! There is the seal of Marquis Zhaoping's mansion on it. I will take it out now and compare it with the original account book!"
"I also have a purchase order with the seal of Marquis Zhaoping's Mansion. I'll go get it too!"
Li Zhiyi choked. How could he win an argument with so many scholars all by himself?
These people may seem insignificant at ordinary times, but when the critical moment comes, they have real evidence, and we don’t even know how many copies they have.
Li Zhiyi rolled his eyes and pointed at the second witness, "Is this person who claims to be General Menghu's confidant an imposter? How can you prove his identity? Is the letter in his hand a forgery?"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan nodded at him and said, "Master Li is worthy of being an elder of our Dali Temple. He is indeed very rigorous in his work. If there are any doubts, you must explain them to everyone. Only in this way can it be shown that our Dali Temple enforces the law impartially, strictly and selflessly."
"As for whether this person is a confidant of Tiger General Yao Chengping, I have a letter written to me by Yao Chengping. It is a letter in which Yao Chengping asked me to complain to the emperor about Northwest Governor Xue Wei."
Zhang Yuan took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Everyone can compare the handwriting of this letter written by General Menghu with that of the letter in the hands of the second witness to see if they are consistent."
Li Zhiyi and Lu Sui widened their eyes at the same time. Zhang Yuan was determined to drag General Fertile Tiger into the water. Did the elders in the court know who appointed General Fertile Tiger?
Zhang Yuan is simply lawless. Is he not afraid of death?
At this moment, an escort wearing a vest from the escort agency squeezed through the crowd and said, "Please make way, everyone. We are here to deliver the case-related items from the northwest to the Dali Temple. Please don't interfere with our business!"
As soon as everyone heard that the Yuelai Escort Agency was here to deliver the item, they quickly made way for it. As everyone knows, the Yuelai Escort Agency attaches great importance to the items they escort. If anyone interferes with the escort, they should be careful.
When Lu Sui saw that the General of Cavalry's men were still maintaining order in the crowd and clearing a path for the escorts from the Yuelai Escort Agency to pass through, his eyes darkened. It would have been better not to ask the General of Cavalry for external help!
He thought the general was old and confused and tired of living! When this maddening case was over, he would definitely file a complaint with the emperor!
Lu Sui watched the escorts from Yuelai Escort Agency pulling a lot of large boxes from the other end of the long street, and asked in confusion: "Huh? What case is there in the northwest? I didn't receive any notification?"
"The tomb of the late emperor was haunted by tomb robbers. The robbers were very capable and had dug a passage in the tomb. The Northwest Governor Xue summoned villagers near Feixia Gorge to catch the tomb robbers. As a result, boxes of silver ingots were found in the tomb chamber leading to the passage."
The leading escort handed the cargo receipt to Lu Sui and said, "You should send a few more clean hands and feet to count. Each of the fifteen vehicles is loaded with 20,000 taels of silver, a total of 300,000 taels of silver."
"There are three corpses beside the tomb where the 300,000 taels of silver were placed. Lord Xue has asked people to carefully collect the evidence from the corpses and hand them over to the Dali Temple. He said that this matter is related to the corruption case of Zhaoping Marquis Mansion and no mistakes can be made."
The onlookers heard what the escort said and immediately became excited:
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver? Isn't this the amount of money involved in the case of embezzlement of military pay by the Marquis of Zhaoping?"
"So the military pay was not lost, but stolen?"
"Now the evidence is solid. Marquis Zhaoping's family did not embezzle military funds at all! They were framed by someone!"
.....
Dali Temple Minister Lu Sui looked at the receipt handed to him. With so many eyes staring at him, he couldn't decide whether to sign or not!
He was the one who presided over the corruption case of Marquis Zhaoping’s Mansion three years ago!
