Chapter 84 Closing the case(2/2)
The eunuch was sent out with a sharp voice, and the guards in the hall delivered the voices one by one.
For a moment, Su Dawei's voice echoed in the hall.
The civil and military officials standing in the hall subconsciously looked at the hall gate.
In the dark sky, Su Dawei was wearing a Dali Temple official robe, with a goldfish bag hanging around his waist, holding some files in his hands, and quickly walked into the hall.
"My minister, the young minister of Dali Temple, Su Dawei, come to see Your Majesty and Empress Wu."
"No gift."
Behind the bead curtain, Li Zhi's hoarse voice came: "Report the result of the case directly."
"Here."
Su Dawei responded, took a breath, and snorted: "The case of Princess Gaoyang is quite bizarre. It was done by Taoist Guo Xingzhen using the witchcraft."
“What is the evidence?”
"have."
Su Dawei bowed his head and held the file in both hands and said, "The case trial process is recorded in the book. First, before Princess Gaoyang was killed, she borrowed the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" written by Master Xuanzang. Now, this book has been found in Guo Xingzhen's Taoist Temple.
Secondly, Guo Xingzhen's disciples admitted that it was Guo Xingzhen who ordered them to buy dolls in the western market for the purpose of casting spells.
One of them said that he had stole Princess Gaoyang's hair.
Another evidence is the case of the head of the Yue Prince's Mansion, Cui Huan.
Cui Huan also died of a witch curse, but was also cursed by Guo Xingzhen.”
"What's the motivation?"
Behind the pearl curtain, the slightly majestic voice of Empress Wu came.
A case, just having evidence is not complete.
The motives, means of crime, evidence, and results must be presented together so that the logic can be smooth and the case will be considered complete.
"According to Guo Xingzhen, he attacked Cui Huan because Cui Huan was the Censor and the son of Cui Yixuan."
"Cui Yixuan?"
Wu Meiniang and Li Zhi were surprised and suspicious.
At the same time, there were many people in the court who shouted unexpectedly.
Cui Yixuan, who defected to Duke Wei Li Mi at the end of the Sui Dynasty, was not allowed to use it.
In the early years of Wude, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and served as Sima of Huaizhou. He was crowned as Duke of Qingqiu County and was promoted to the governor of Xi.
During the Zhenguan period, he was appointed as the chief minister of the Shangshuosi, the chief minister of King Han Li Yuanjia, and the governor of Wuzhou. He suppressed the Chen Shuozhen uprising, supported the deposed king and established Wu, and was appointed as the chief minister of the Censor and the governor of Puzhou.
“That’s right.”
Su Dawei said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Guo Xingzhen and Chen Shuozhen, who had been in trouble in the past few years, went out together. It was a relationship between brothers and sisters. Cui Yixuan led his troops to suppress and defeat Chen Shuozhen. Therefore, Guo Xingzhen had a grudge against him."
After saying this, the logic will be understood.
All the officials present, as well as Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang who were sitting in the hall, knew after a moment of thinking that Cui Yixuan is now the governor of Puzhou.
Cui Yixuan has four sons, and his eldest son is Cui Huan.
The next three are Cui Shenji, Cui Shenqing and Cui Shenfu, who are not in Chang'an now.
Perhaps Guo Xingzhen was thinking in his heart: Who told Cui Huan to be in Chang'an? It's you.
"Guo Xingzhen chose Cui Huan in order to test the effect of the witch curse technique, and the second to avenge his revenge."
"I don't understand... Princess Gaoyang, what kind of hatred does it have with Guo Xingzhen?"
Li Zhi's voice in the hall gasped slightly and said, "What reason does Guo Xingzhen have to kill the princess?"
"For revenge."
"He has a grudge against Gao Yang?"
"No."
Su Dawei said: "But he has a grudge against His Majesty."
"Um?"
Sitting behind the bead curtain, Li Zhi's body suddenly stood up, his head was no longer dizzy and his spirit was no longer depressed.
"What kind of hatred does he have with me?"
"Chen Shuozhen and Guo Xingzhen, the sects they learned from, were under Xiao Xian's subordinates in the south, and were all pacified by the Tang Dynasty."
"Did he come for revenge?"
