I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 683: Surrender into a move
Hearing Li Shen's threat, Zheng Ji felt a little unhappy. Even if you are a prince, legally you have no right to interfere with the government affairs of Longzhou.
But if he really refused, King Ji might do something. He was well-known for King Ji's lawlessness in Chang'an.
At this time, a clerk behind him lowered his head and whispered a few words into Zheng Ji's ear. Zheng Ji nodded after listening.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, according to the rules, you should not be allowed to visit me, but as the prince said, since he is the Royal Guards, I will let you see me.
Moreover, Xiaguan’s clan also said that they would never be enemies with His Highness from now on. "
"Clan? Zheng family? Are you..." Li Shen asked with some uncertainty.
"The lower official is the Zheng family in Xingyang."
"Oh~~~ It turns out to be the Zheng family in Xingyang. It seems that we are old acquaintances. No wonder I felt cordial when I met you just now. Haha" Li Shen chuckled.
Li Shen did not expect that the governor of Longzhou was a member of the Wu surname clan. Should he find a way to deal with him?
Zheng Ji looked at Li Shen's smile and the cunning in his eyes. He suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, although I, Zheng, have done some things against the prince in the past, the clan has changed its mind now.
I hope His Highness Prince Ji will put aside the past grudges, and I, Mrs. Zheng, will not be at odds with you in the future. "
Li Shen's expression didn't change after hearing this.
"Let's not talk about this in advance. This king is here for the purpose of banning the army. Governor Zheng should take me to see him.
Governor Zheng can rest assured that I will never interfere in the political affairs of Longzhou. If they really kill people and steal goods, I will not show any favoritism and they will not regret their death.
But if they hadn't done it, I don't want our royal family to suffer a loss of reputation. Do you understand what I say to Governor Zheng? "
Li Shen's words were very clear. Zheng Ji nodded, stood up and personally led Li Shen to the government prison.
As soon as I arrived at the government prison, an official came out to greet me.
"I've met the governor."
"How was the interrogation?" Zheng Ji asked.
"Reporting to the governor, the three of them have confessed. Here are their testimonies and signatures." He said and handed the paper in his hand to Zheng Ji.
Zheng Ji took the paper with a smile on his face. It seemed that King Ji's visit was in vain and he had already confessed.
"Prince Zheng, I would like to see those three people." Li Shen said expressionlessly.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, the three of them have already confessed. There is no need for me to read it," Zheng Ji said.
He didn't understand why King Ji was so persistent?
"Prince Zheng, I just went to see these three people. Don't worry."
"Okay then, Your Majesty, please follow me." He said and entered the prison.
The cell leader led him to the innermost place where felons were held.
"Your Majesty, it's these three people."
Li Shen turned around and looked over, only to see three people lying on the ground in the prison. Their hair was unkempt and their faces were covered in blood. Their appearance was completely indistinguishable.
Moreover, they were covered in blood, and Li Shen even thought that these three people were dead.
"What's going on, three dead people?" Li Shen asked, pointing to the cell.
"Your Majesty, this is just torture. The three of them will never admit it at first, but the witnesses and material evidence are all there and cannot allow them to quibble." Zheng Ji explained.
"Open the door." Li Shen's face was also gloomy.
"My lord, they are repeat offenders. They cannot..."
"I told you to open the door!" Li Shen interrupted Zheng Ji with a serious tone.
Zheng Ji had no choice but to ask the old man to open the cell.
Li Shen walked in. Wang Xuance and Xue Rengui knelt down to check on the three of them.
"My lord, they are all still alive, but their injuries are a bit serious." Xue Rengui stood up and reported back.
"President Zheng, is this how you try the case? Is this a case of subjugation?"
Do you think your confession is credible? "Li Shen's tone was cold and he stared at Zheng Ji sharply.
"Your Majesty, the three of them refused to confess, so I had no choice but to make this decision, and the murder weapons they used were the same as those of the deceased.
The time was also very consistent, and the waiter at the restaurant also confirmed that the three of them left in a hurry before dawn.
Doesn't this mean they are the murderers? "Zheng Ji also showed no sign of weakness.
When the three were arrested, the blood on the knife of one of them had not yet dried, and the blade of the knife could be aligned with the knife.
Li Shen also frowned. Nothing else was evidence, except that knife. The knives of the Forbidden Army were all specially made, and the blades were different from others.
"Prince Zheng, I think this matter is strange. I will give you two ways. First, I will stay here to participate in the investigation of this case.
I want to see all the files, and the credit will go to you after solving the case.
Article 2: I will truthfully report to Your Majesty what I saw and ask Your Majesty to send people from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case.
But it's not clear whether you, the governor of Longzhou, can still sit securely by then. "
Li Shen didn't talk nonsense to him and just gave Zheng Ji two ways to go.
Zheng Ji was also a little angry after hearing this. King Ji was forcing him, but he did not dare to get angry. If His Majesty really knew about it, he would send officials from the Ministry of Punishments here,
Seeing that the prisoner was beaten and beaten, if he was really unjust in the end, he would be the end of his life as a governor.
If it doesn't work well, he might even be exiled. Not long ago, more than a hundred officials were exiled.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"
"Prince Zheng, I would like to know how many of you have been beaten into submission in the past?" Li Shen smiled contemptuously.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, the evidence in this case is solid, how can it be that he was beaten into submission." The official in charge of the interrogation interjected.
He is an old man here, has handled countless cases, and has some skills.
"Huh, you're the one in charge of the interrogation, right? You'd better hope they are the real murderers, otherwise you should know the consequences." Li Shen snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, someone is awake." Wang Xuance reminded Li Shen at this time.
Li Shen lowered his head and saw a person moving his body, and hurriedly stepped forward and squatted down.
"Hey, hey, can you hear me?"
The man moved a little, groaned probably because of the pain, and then tried to support his body, trying to get up.
Seeing this, Xue Rengui quickly stepped forward, supported the man against the wall, and lifted his hair. Li Shen saw a face of about thirty years old.
"What is your name and where do you belong?" Li Shen approached and asked.
The man opened his eyes and looked at Li Shen. His eyes went from dull to full of charm.
"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, His Royal Highness Prince Ji, please save the villain. Ahem..."
When the man saw Li Shen, he recognized him as King Ji at a glance. In sudden excitement, he started coughing after speaking.
Li Shen was stunned. Oh, he still recognizes himself. He must be the forbidden army of Chang'an City. It seems that he did not spend time in Chang'an in vain. So many people know him.
"Tell me first, was it the three of you who committed the murder?" Li Shen asked directly.
"Prince Ji...Your Highness...the three of us...were wronged. The villain...the three of us...did not kill anyone."
