Xie Zhizhou glanced at Du Qi, he really didn't know how Du Qi got these books.
But in front of the emperor, he couldn't admit it.
Once admitted, it is a great crime.
In any case, this matter cannot be pleaded guilty, Xie Zhizhou gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, this is a slander, and it is all fabricated by Du Qi. These things are non-existent."
Du Qi wanted to laugh when he heard that.
Xie Zhizhou's response was really stupid. If Xie Zhizhou pleaded guilty directly, perhaps Xie Zhizhou's treatment would not be miserable, and his life might be saved. However, Xie Zhizhou knew his mistakes and did not correct them. If he wanted to bear it to the end, it would be a crime.
To fight head-on with the emperor is courting death.
Li Yuan hated Xie Zhizhou even more, and said with a sneer, "You really never repent."
Xie Zhizhou said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."
Li Yuandao: "It is said that Du Qi provided these two booklets. But the reason why Du Qi got them was from Li Daquan. You may not know that Li Daquan has already confessed all of them."
Xie Zhizhou's complexion changed drastically.
Unexpectedly, Li Daquan betrayed him. The problem is, he went to see Li Daquan last night and convinced Li Daquan. Now, Li Daquan has exposed all the news.
When did this happen?
Li Yuan continued: "I don't know what to say? Apart from you, Xie Mu, Xie Hong, Lin Ming and others have all been arrested. Now these people are all outside the Ganlu Palace, do you want to meet? "
Boom! !
At this moment, Xie Zhizhou's mind exploded.
He was stunned for a moment.
Originally, Xie Zhizhou still had a little persistence, and he still wanted to carry it to death. But now, Xie Zhizhou can no longer hold on. Because whether it is Xie Hong, or Xie Mian, or Lin Ming, Li Daquan, they all know everything about it.
This cannot be concealed at all.
Plop!
Xie Zhizhou knelt on the ground, kowtowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty!"
"Of course you are guilty."
Li Yuan's eyes were sharp, and he said: "Not only did you collect a huge amount of money, but you also framed Du Qi. As the imperial court's official, you set up a bureau to frame the imperial court's official. You are really daring."
Xie Zhizhou knocked his head on the ground.
He was very desperate in his heart. He didn't expect that a mere matter of dealing with Du Qi would evolve to the present state.
Total collapse.
Li Yuan continued: "Since you have pleaded guilty, I don't need to interrogate you. Someone, drag Xie Zhizhou down and give him death!"
"Thank you, bestow death!"
"Li Daquan, Xie Hong, and Lin Ming were brought to Dali Temple and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation."
Li Yuan quickly gave the order.
This is a sharp knife to cut through the mess, directly execute Xie Zhizhou and Xie Mu, and throw the rest to Dali Temple, and let Dali Temple be responsible for interrogation and disposal. Although the crimes of several people are not capital crimes, at least they are not easy charges.
Xie Zhizhou was dragged down, he opened his mouth to beg for mercy, and even wanted to confess the prince. But when the words came to his lips, Xie Zhizhou finally swallowed them back, because if he confessed to the crown prince, he would surely die as well.
If the prince is not confessed, his family members can still be taken care of. This is Xie Zhizhou's plan.
When Xie Zhizhou was taken down, Li Yuan asked, "Erlang, are you satisfied with my treatment?"
Du Qi respectfully said: "Your Majesty is wise, and only with His Majesty as the master can I get my grievances cleared and not be targeted. Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful."
Li Yuan said: "Back off!"
"yes!"
Du Qi immediately turned around and retreated.
After Du Qi withdrew, Li Yuan looked at Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, I wanted to ask before whether this matter had anything to do with the East Palace. But I didn't ask when the words came to my lips. It's not that I didn't dare Ask, I don¡¯t want to ask.¡±
Xiao Li bowed his back and said: "Your Majesty loves the prince, and the world can learn from it."
Li Yuan snorted and said: "I take care of the prince's face, but what is the prince doing? He spends his days running around and doing some shady things. Do you know that the account books just now involve nearly 200,000 yuan of money."
When mentioning money, Li Yuan was even more heartbroken, saying: "Xie Zhizhou, a county magistrate, collected so much money in a short period of time. And a large part of the money must have been handed over to the East Palace. If I remember correctly, Xie Zhizhou is not It was recommended by Donggong. Obviously, Xie Zhizhou must be related to Donggong. This time, it must be ordered by Donggong."
When Xiao Li heard the words, he didn't speak.
Li Yuan continued: "When it comes to the construction of the East Palace, you old man will stop talking."
Xiao Li chuckled.
He didn't say much.
Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said again: "East Palace is becoming more and more reckless and arrogant now. I have taught him many times, and taught him to do things well, so that he has a heart. Unexpectedly, he has not even a trace of repentance. Not even thinking about it. Not only that, but I'm still desperate to deal with Du Qi, which disappoints me!"
Xiao Li still didn't speak.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes, and continued: "It seems that I have been supporting Jiancheng and suppressing the people of the world all these years, but I have made Jiancheng a little spoiled. A king without a heart of benevolence and a big heart is hard to become a great man after all. device."
Xiao Li's heart sank as he listened.
This is a bit heavy.
Could it be that the prince is about to be deposed?
Xiao Li still didn't speak, but stood obediently beside Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "I remember that the prince of the East Palace Xima is Wei Zheng, and he is Jiancheng's confidant, right?"
"yes!"
Xiao Li immediately answered.
Li Yuan looked cold and serious, and said: "The decree, the prince of the East Palace will wash the horse Wei Zheng, assist the prince of the East Palace, and the punishment will be thirty. This punishment will be carried out directly in the East Palace, and the execution will be supervised by the person who passed the decree."
"yes!"
Xiao Li responded immediately.
Xiao Li also sighed in his heart, this time the East Palace will lose face again. In fact, Xiao Li believed that Li Jiancheng was always an enemy of Du Qi, but every time he became an enemy, it would not only reduce his weight in the emperor's heart, but also cause damage to his authority.
This is obviously harmful but not beneficial. It is something that harms others and does not benefit oneself, but Donggong has always wanted to do it.
After Xiao Li left the Ganlu Hall, he called a eunuch and asked the eunuch to deliver the decree. The eunuch was a little confused when he got the order, because such an oral order was really weird.
The eunuch didn't dare to ask more questions, and immediately went to the East Palace. When he arrived at the East Palace, the eunuch immediately conveyed the oral order.
After Li Jiancheng received the order, he was already in a daze.
He didn't understand why he suddenly said that Wei Zheng was not good at assisting him, and that Wei Zheng should be punished for thirty. It's just that this time, Li Jiancheng learned his lesson. He didn't directly break into the Ganlu Palace to question Li Yuan like last time, but asked the eunuch what happened.
The problem was that the eunuch didn't know either, so he could only shake his head and answer that he didn't know.
Unwilling to give up, Li Jiancheng changed direction and asked what happened in the palace. Only then did the eunuch think of the news that Xie Zhizhou entered the palace and was eventually given to death, so he told about Xie Zhizhou.
When Li Jiancheng heard it, he knew it.
Xie Zhizhou fell.
So much so that it hurt him again.
Li Jiancheng's heart was filled with anger for a moment. He didn't expect that this time things failed again. In fact, Li Jiancheng only hinted at Xie Zhizhou. He had a conflict with Du Qi, and he had not directly ordered Xie Zhizhou to do it, nor had he made any plans.
Unexpectedly, the emperor still disposed of the East Palace.
After Wei Zheng came, he was pushed down by the eunuch who was executing him, lying on the bench, and the military stick swung up and fell down, hitting Wei Zheng's buttocks continuously.
For a while, Wei Zheng was in pain.
In the beginning, Wei Zheng was able to hold on, he gritted his teeth and endured it, without screaming. After a long time, Wei Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, and kept screaming.
When the thirty army sticks came down, Wei Zheng's buttocks were all blooming, and the place where the buttocks were located was already dripping with blood.
After the eunuch supervised the execution, he left. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
