Chapter 239 The newly appointed chief judge
Chapter 239 The newly appointed presiding judge
Time passed minute by minute. When Li Ke finished speaking, it was noon. Wei Zheng gave Li Ke a few details of the omissions and heard the news. Li Ke answered Wei Zheng tirelessly, making Wei Zheng very satisfied with Li Ke's answer. Because Li Ke's rebuke to Changsun Wuji just now, and Changsun Wuji remained silent, the inquiry process was entirely handled by Wei Zheng alone, and Wei Zheng became the presiding judge, and Changsun Wuji and the other three became the jury.
After Wei Zhengxun asked Li Ke, he turned his eyes to the four people and asked if there was any problem. The four people shook their heads and said that there was no. Wei Zheng himself knew that the case was just Li Ke's suspected, and there was no real evidence that he was involved or that he was the mastermind, so he could only tell Li Ke that the review was over today and asked him to wait for the notice of the next review.
After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Xiaogong and Wei Zheng nodded, ignored the dark faces of President Sun Wuji and Liu Zhenghui, and stepped out of the Ministry of Justice alone in everyone's eyes.
Li Ke left the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Changsun Wuji and the other two looked at the files recorded by the clerk. Seeing that there was no omission of the above words, they looked at each other and understood it and went to the palace to meet Li Shimin to meet Li Shimin. Li Shimin stayed by Empress Changsun for a long time. Seeing that Empress Changsun had taken medicine, she comforted her a few words. After Empress Changsun fell asleep again after eating some porridge, he returned to Liangyi Hall to handle government affairs.
Changsun Wuji, Li Xiaogong, Wei Zheng, Liu Zhenghui and Sun Fujia walked into Liangyi Hall. Before they could even give a gift, Li Shimin asked, "How is the trial situation?"
Changsun Wuji did not say anything. Wei Zheng knew what he was thinking, so he stepped forward and handed the file to Li Shimin. After reading the file, Li Shimin signaled the five people to sit down. Then he put the file on the desk and said, "Have the palace maids and interior decorations interrogated that night? And has Qianniuwei, who found the body today, interrogated in detail? How was the corpse examination done? Have you found any suspicious clues?"
"Your Majesty, this case is very complicated and strange. Judging from the current clues, His Highness the King of Han is the most suspicious. However, only through the one-sided words of the King of Han Palace, the ministers are not sure whether he is related to this case. Therefore, they can only find the old and young man who were treated by him on Zhuque Street to prove whether his words are true." Liu Zhenghui said, "Also, his testimony mentioned that there were Princess Fusang and his warriors at the scene. Interrogating Princess Fusang also requires the emperor's approval."
"Yeah," Li Shimin nodded in agreement and continued to ask, "What else can I gain?"
"We learned from the testimony of the imperial doctor that the Queen and Yin Fei Niang had an extra medicinal herb. This medicinal material was produced in the bitter and cold place of Youbei and was not toxic. As long as it was mixed with Chinese medicines such as Cistanche, Morinica, Poria, Seabuckthorn, Wujiao, Eucommia, Eucommia ulmoides, can produce toxicity, causing people to faint until death. Sandalwood is the nemesis of the kidney, it has the effect of adsorption and neutralization of this poison. It just so happened that the Queen's bedroom used spices to smoke, which is sandalwood, and the sandalwood covered by the Queen's face was sandalwood.
Wood powder also plays a role in adsorbing and neutralizing the toxicity in his body. Therefore, sandalwood smoke powder is the reason why the poisoning was not caused too much after solving the poison in the queen." Sun Fujia said, "So, I believe that the poisoned person must be very familiar with the toxicity of the kidney, and naturally the effect of sandalwood is very clear. So since the queen has used sandalwood in her bedroom for several days, the poisoned person will definitely not use the poison if he knows this situation. Therefore, I believe that the poisoning person must not know that the queen is using sandalwood."
"Yeah!" Wei Zheng suddenly said, "Wei Chen agrees with Daliqing's statement. The reason why the queen was able to resurrect cheese was because of sandalwood. Therefore, if the enemy knew that the queen was using sandalwood, he would not be able to use such poisoning as the kidney. Therefore, the first point in Wei Chen guessed was that the plan to poison the queen was designed and arranged before the queen used sandalwood, so the enemy did not notice that the queen was doing sandalwood, so he would omit it when he was taking action. The next year, the enemy began to implement the poisoning plan after the queen used sandalwood. He was not a person in the palace and did not know the situation in the palace at all, and he was even more unaware of the situation in the palace, so that such a big loophole appeared after the plan was implemented."
"Yeah!" Li Shimin nodded, "I also think this case is strange. Through your analysis, it is not like preparing in advance and having a premeditated drug plan. However, except for the omissions, poisoning, murder and other methods of heart removal by Sandalwood, there is no trace of the situation elsewhere, it is indeed not like a plan designed and decided to implement in a hurry."
"What the emperor said is very much!" Wei Zheng continued, "This case is indeed exquisitely designed, but there are some things to be investigated, such as the skull is a good breakthrough. Also, the cause of Xianglan's death is indeed suspicious. I still don't know what role she played in this case."
Li Shimin agreed with Wei Zheng very much, but he glanced at Changsun Wuji, and saw that he did not say a word, so he asked, "Super Ji, you are the presiding judge of this case. What do you think?"
"Emperor, I beg the emperor to take back the appointment that was responsible for investigating the case and send someone else!" Changsun Wuji suddenly knelt in front of Li Shimin and begged.
"Auxiliary machine, are you?" Li Shimin was surprised at Changsun Wuji's reaction and asked hurriedly.
As Changsun Wuji's friend, Liu Zhenghui, the backbone of Li Chengqian's party, was not stupid, and hurriedly told Li Ke's words in the Ministry of Justice to Li Shimin. Li Shimin listened very carefully and seriously. His face changed constantly as Liu Zhenghui told him, and finally became ashen, "It's so unreasonable!"
However, after Li Shimin said this, he remained silent. When everyone saw Li Shimin's angry expression, they were confused. They didn't know whether he was talking about Li Ke just now? Or was Changsun Wuji.
After a while, Li Shimin then said, "This case has many doubts, and there should be no carelessness during the trial. Since the auxiliary machine has voluntarily resigned, I will tolerate you so as not to be honest."
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he helped Changsun Wuji, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to everyone, "Who should be responsible for this matter?"
"Report to the emperor, the empress elected secretary Wei Zheng to investigate the trial and investigation of this case. The vacant position of Changsun Shangshu can be replaced by Wang Gui, the minister of the Huangmen."
Li Xiaogong, who had never spoken since he came to Liangyi Hall, reported that he had spoken at this time, obviously supporting Changsun Wuji to avoid the trial of the case. In both aspects, it also reflects that he tends toward Li Ke. After all, for a member like Li Xiaogong, Li Ke may be the only person in the royal family who can become a famous general, and he naturally knew the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Li Ke. Therefore, after entering Liangyi Hall, he chose to keep silent, and only then did he make such a suggestion.
In his heart, he believed that the possibility of Li Ke was very small. Li Ke was a rare talent in the royal family in literature and martial arts. His future today was limitless. He would not do such a thing under such circumstances. It was just that his contribution was too great. He was afraid that his achievements would shock the master, so he would not dare to contradict Li Shimin like Xiao Yu, and he would not speak out yesterday about the discussion of Li Ke's suspected drug case.
"I agree with the prince's opinion!" Sun Fujia hurriedly expressed his attitude.
"There are many things in my humble ministers!" Liu Zhenghui also said.
"Where are you at the auxiliary machine?" Li Shimin proposed a resolution to replace someone else, but out of respect for Changsun Wuji, he still asked and solicited his opinions.
"I have no objection!" Changsun Wuji said.
"Well, let the Secretariat prepare an order to appoint Secretary Wei Zheng to be responsible for the trial of the queen's poisoning case, and Wang Gui, the Minister of the Yellow Gate, was also responsible for assisting in the trial of the case." Seeing that everyone agreed, Li Shimin quickly issued an appointment.
"I received the order!" Wei Zheng did not refuse. After hearing Li Shimin's order, he said seriously.
"I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible, do you understand?" Li Shimin said to everyone.
"I understand!" said everyone.
"Xuancheng, you must find out the truth about the case. You cannot wrongly accuse a good person, and you cannot let a bad person go!" Li Shimin helped Wei Zheng up and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, the emperor, I am absolutely impartial in enforcing the law and let the case come to light!" Wei Zheng promised.
"Since that's the case, then you go down!" Li Shimin said, "The two thousand Jinwu Guards outside the Han Palace are indeed mobilized to mobilize a lot and withdraw them!"
Li Shimin saw that Empress Changsun was poisoned. When Empress Changsun was in danger, he heard the palace maids and eunuchs saying that Li Ke had gone to the medicinal kitchen and took away a few medicinal materials. The imperial doctor also said that these medicinal materials would solve the poisonous medicinal materials in Queen Changsun. At the same time, when the ministers discussed whether Li Ke was related to this case, Xiao Yu would contradict him for Li Ke. At that time, he issued an order to imprison Li Ke a little irrationally. Now that Li Ke refuted in the court and knew that two thousand Jinwu Guards guarded the Han Palace, he heard the analysis of the case just now. After considering it in detail, he felt that it was indeed unfair to Li Ke's measures, so he ordered the removal of the Han Palace.
"I obey the order!" Changsun Wuji respectfully accepted the order.
"If you have no problem, just step back!" Li Shimin said to everyone, and then suddenly shouted at Changsun Wuji when he stepped out of the threshold of Liangyi Hall with one foot, "Stay behind, I have something to say to you."
Changsun Wuji could see his opinion on Li Ke's opinion on the case involving Li Ke from Li Shimin's order to withdraw from the guardians of the Han Palace. Now that Li Shimin called him again, he immediately understood what Li Shimin was going to say to him, so he guarded one foot that stepped out of Liangyi Hall.
