The decree shall not be false.
Princess Jinyang is a person who often stays by Li Shimin's side, she is a blood relative, and she is deeply loved by Li Shimin, and she is very familiar with Li Shimin's handwriting.
Therefore, Li Fengman is willing to believe in Princess Jinyang's judgment, and in this matter, Liu Ying does not seem to have the possibility of lying, the holy decree is a real thing, since Princess Jinyang has seen it, it means that he is not afraid that he will show his stuff after returning to Chang'an, unless he is bold and wants to leave Princess Jinyang in Fuchuan forever and not go back.
Now it seems that Liu Ying is not so bold, even if he wants to be unfavorable to Princess Jinyang, Cheng Huaibi will not stand idly by.
After a few days of observation and temptation, Li Fengman obviously found that whether it was Cheng Huaibi or Pei Sheng later, their attitude towards Liu Ying was not as friendly as they imagined.
Liu Ying couldn't really direct them.
Therefore, during this period of time, Liu Ying rarely stayed in the Li Mansion, but went outside to mingle with local officials such as Zhao Xuan and Fan Zheng.
Squeak!
Liu Ying had already reached out to open the door, stood at the door, and swept his gaze towards the four people in the room, and finally fell on Li Feng's face.
"Big brother, it's time for us to go out."
Princess Jinyang came closer, and whispered to Li Fengman: "Since it is the father's will, let's just follow the words, I know that the father has always loved the eldest brother, and he will never be unfavorable to the eldest brother." ” Half a year ago, Li Chengqian launched a political transformation and conspired to rebel, but in the end, Li Shimin was not willing to give up his dead hand, and now Li Chengqian has become a common man without any threat, let alone done any unscrupulous acts of being a traitor and criminal, and Li Shimin has no reason to deal with him.
Li Fengman didn't speak, just nodded lightly, now, it is useless to dodge, Liu Ying, the Holy Decree and Princess Jinyang, as well as the officials outside who are oppressive, have already forced him into a corner, and can only follow the script they have predetermined before.
"Since you always have to face it, then don't delay it any longer, let's go!"
Li Fengman took the lead and went out of the room with Princess Jinyang.
In the courtyard, someone has already set up a table and set aside an open space, as if they want to use this place as a county hall and directly try the case in front of everyone.
Seeing Liu Ying and Princess Jinyang coming out, Zhao Xuan hurriedly bowed forward, and after greeting Princess Jinyang first, Zhengse said to Liu Yingyu: "Your Excellency, everything is ready, do you think you should start interrogating the suspect now?"
” From beginning to end, Zhao Xuan ignored Li Fengman, but when he mentioned the word suspect, he unconsciously glanced at Li Fengman.
Obviously, at this moment, in Zhao Xuan's eyes, the fact that Li Feng offended the deposed prince Li Chengqian has been confirmed, and he no longer needs to be too polite to an impostor.
"In that case, let's get started."
Liu Ying nodded with satisfaction and said, "Lord Zhao is a local governor, since this case happened in Lord Zhao's jurisdiction, it should be presided over by Lord Zhao himself." ” "Xiaguan?"
Zhao Xuan's complexion changed slightly, but he didn't expect that when the matter came to an end, Liu Ying actually asked him to push him to the front desk.
"I'm afraid that's a little wrong, isn't it?"
Zhao Xuan said softly: "The envoy is the Qin cha personally pointed by the Holy Lord, with you here, which round will you get the Qipin County Order of the lower officials?"
Moreover, this case is related to the bloodline of the royal family, and the stakes are very important, and the lower officials are afraid that they will not be able to afford it, and the lower officials feel that it is better for the superior envoy to try it personally. ” Zhao Xuan instinctively retreated.
In any case, this case is about the abolished prince, and it is okay for him to assist from the side, but it is absolutely impossible to be the first bird to preside over the case.
"Lord Zhao, are you trying to harm our family?!"
Liu Ying's face turned cold, and he reprimanded angrily: "Our family is an internal servant, do you think our family is suitable to sit in the position of the chief judge to try this case?"
” Zhao Xuan was stunned, how could he forget this stubble, the inner servants are not allowed to interfere in politics, whether it is the affairs of the court or the authority of the local government, the inner servants are not allowed to interfere, and they must avoid suspicion.
Otherwise, it will be a major matter of avoidance, and if the palace is seriously investigated, it is possible to lose your head.
Liu Ying's pot was thrown very simply, so that Zhao Xuan had no reason to refute it, he couldn't help but aim at Cheng Huaibi, except for Liu Ying, Cheng Huaibi had the highest official rank, but Cheng Huaibi turned his head and didn't dump him at all, Zhao Xuan's heart was cold.
Turning his head and glancing at his colleagues behind him, whether it was the county Cheng Fan Zheng or the main Bo Chen Dewen, they were all so frightened that they took a step back, not daring to meet Zhao Xuan's gaze.
Obviously, no one is stupid, and no one wants to carry this pot.
And he, Zhao Xuan, as the commander of Fuchuan County, has a unique advantage in carrying the pot, and now everyone's eyes are on him, no matter how much he resists in his heart, there is no reason to shirk.
The knife is already on the neck, and if you don't do it, you have to do it.
"Lord Zhao, everyone is waiting for you, please!"
Liu Ying urged.
Zhao Xuan shuddered for a moment, cursed MMP in his heart, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, strode to the temporary set up pre-trial table and sat down.
Zhao Xuan has long been familiar with the process of trying the case, but it is the first time for Zhao Xuan to try a case with royal blood.
There are not only the envoys sent by the emperor next to him, but also Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang, who is deeply favored by the saints, there are generals, there are guards, the scene is huge, Zhao Xuan's heart can't help but be a little apprehensive.
"Bring the suspect Li Feng to the court!"
The duck has been put on the shelves, but it can't come down, Zhao Xuan raised his hand violently and slapped the table, which opened the prelude to the case of the abolished prince being impersonated.
The process of the trial is very simple, the suspect goes to court, the human and physical evidence is bombarded in turn, so many facts are in front of him, even if the suspect does not admit it in person, Zhao Xuan can easily convict Li Fengman.
Half an hour later, all the evidence was presented, even the decomposed body that had been picked up in the backyard and only the bones were removed.
Zhao Xuan was shocked, and asked Li Fengman in a loud voice: "Now that there are all the human and material evidence, all of them criticize you as the person who impersonated the deposed prince Li Chengqian, the suspect Li Feng, can you plead guilty?!"
” Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Fengman's body.

Li Fengman stood in the middle of the crowd, and did not rush to confess his guilt, but turned his head to look around at the people who had formed a circle, his eyes seemed to be searching for something.
The big girl who was still in the courtyard just now, the second girl, the third girl, the fourth girl and Li Yi all disappeared, thinking that Liu Ying sent someone to take them away in advance, otherwise, with the temperament of a few girls, they would definitely run out to hold grievances for him, the father.
Li Hu, Li Li, Qian Xiaogui and other effective guard men are all tied up at the moment, and they can't be counted on.
The people around him, at this moment, only the old rich and noble, Genfu, and the women and children in the house are still free, and there is no rope to add to the body, but they are also firmly guarded by the servants with swords.
On the surface, it seems that the situation is under Liu Ying's control, and even if Li Fengman does not open his mouth to admit it, they can forcibly put the hat of this criminal on his head.
"Well, I admit it, I'm really not a waste prince!"
Li Fengman opened his mouth and said: "The name Li Feng is also a pseudonym, my real name is Li Fengman, I was originally a cook, because I looked a little similar to the abolished prince Li Chengqian, so after the abolished prince died of illness, he was impersonated by the housekeeper Lao Fuguier of the Li Mansion, the purpose was to appease a few children, it was out of a good heart." ” "I didn't covet anything, and there was nothing to covet about as a deposed prince, when I came, the Li Mansion was even so poor that I couldn't even afford to eat......
Li Fengman began to tell the truth, acting in his true colors, in front of so many people, he told the secret that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, his mind was relaxed for a while, and the feeling of telling the truth was really cool.
"Smack!"
Zhao Xuan slapped the table and said loudly: "Enough!"
Since you have confessed to your deeds, sign and pledge!
” At this time, the criminal scribe who had already recorded the confession came over with a pen and paper, and Li Fengman waved his pen and signed his name.
Then, the scribe bowed down and presented the confession to Zhao Xuan in front of the case.
"Next, this official pronounces the verdict!"
Zhao Xuan glanced at the confession record, and after confirming that it was correct, he slapped the shocked wood again, and said loudly: "The suspect Li Fengman, pretending to be of royal blood, the evidence is conclusive, and he himself confessed, the official ruled in accordance with the law, sentenced him to death, and temporarily detained in the county jail. ” According to the Tang law, the verdict of a condemned prisoner is not determined by one official or one word, but must be reported layer by layer, and after the crime is repeatedly determined, the final decision is finally made by the criminal department and even the emperor.
Therefore, although Zhao Xuan sentenced Li Fengman to death, if he wanted to really cut off his head, he had to wait for a few more months for a re-examination.
"Lord Zhao!"
At this time, Liu Ying, who had been sitting beside Zhao Xuan and had never spoken, suddenly whispered to Zhao Xuan: "The emperor once said that this matter is related to the face of the royal family, and it must be handled specially. ” "Kill it?!"
Zhao Xuan's figure was shocked, and he turned his head to look at Liu Ying a little incredulously, "Lord Envoy, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to do this, right?"
” Liu Ying's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "This is the will of the Holy Lord, what's the matter, Lord Zhao wants to resist the will and disrespect?"
” "The lower officials don't dare!"
A drop of cold sweat slipped across Zhao Xuan's head, he stood up, bowed to Liu Ying, stepped aside, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan just thinks that it is not the will of the Holy Lord, or it is most appropriate for you to announce it in person, Your Excellency, Xiaguan is timid and dare not overstep!"
” At a critical time, Zhao Xuan still withered.
He had a bad feeling that he was being used as a scapegoat.
Therefore, even if he risked offending Liu Ying, the envoy, he resolutely refused to carry this pot.
No matter how much Liu Ying criticizes, he is just an internal servant, and if he is offended, he will be offended, and he Zhao Xuan is not the kind of soft egg who has no back, anyone can handle it.
But he really can't afford to decide this pot, and if he can't get it right, not only will his small county order be unstable, but it will even affect his Laozi's future, so he has to be cautious.
"Useless stuff!
Go aside!
” Liu Ying glared at Zhao Xuan fiercely, flicked his sleeves, stood up directly, swept his cold gaze over Li Fengman, and announced loudly to everyone present: "There is a saying in the saint, the royal blood is not allowed to be dirty, if the evidence of the matter of pretending to abolish the prince is conclusive, once it is verified, it can be directly sentenced to be executed without going through the criminal department, and the law will be corrected on the spot, so as to correct the public!"
” "Now, since the suspect has confessed his guilt and the evidence is conclusive, he should act according to the will of God."
Liu Ying suddenly shouted to the left and right messengers: "Come on, tie the prisoner Li Fengman's hands and feet, and correct the law on the spot!"
” Liu Ying's order made everyone present change their faces greatly.
