Chapter 260: This is not my gold

In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, it cannot be said that there are all civil and military officials in the court. Anyway, most civil and military ministers have arrived at the scene.

Whether it was watching the fun or helping, it was so dark that it looked very lively. Li Shimin did not make much comments and controls on this. Since they wanted to see it, let them see it thoroughly. Not only these ministers, but also some civilians and scholars outside, Li Shimin, also invited them in with Liu Dewei. Of course, the rules cannot be broken, and the positions they stood were all outside the court.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben, Wang Gui, Cheng Yaojin, Gongsun Wuda, Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, etc., these ministers and important officials who were busy with daily affairs and were rarely seen gathered together. After a while of greeting each other, they accompanied Li Shimin and sat down in the side hall, waiting for Liu Dewei, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, to open a court for questioning.

Although I felt it was not right, Liu Dewei was still excited and rolling in his heart, and some unpleasant vanity rose in his heart.

Although he has made countless cases in his life, this is the first time he has handled such a big scene like today. The Emperor, the Secretariat, Duke Lu, Duke Yi, and the uncle, and so many big names come to watch the case together.

After looking at Shichen, Liu Dewei asked Li Shimin for instructions in a slight manner, and then he began to formally open the court for interrogation.

"Bang!"

A gavel suppressed all the noise and hustle and bustle in the hall and outside the hall. For a moment, the entire lobby of the Ministry of Justice became quiet, and everyone's eyes were aimed at Liu Dewei sitting in the main hall.

Liu Dewei's expression remained unchanged. Seeing that the effect of the gavel had already shown, he opened his mouth to order the yamen runners beside him, "Take someone to invade Liu Yiu and ask questions in the court!"

The two yamen runners bent over to receive the order, and then turned to the backyard.

Afterwards, with a sound of iron shackles, Liu Yiu leisurely entered the lobby, smiling, looking at the full hall and the crowd watching on the side, without any fear in his eyes.

People who have never seen Liu Yi, such as Changsun Wuji, Cen Wenben, Qin Shubao, Wei Zheng and others, saw that Liu Yi was not old and had such aura and courage in his behavior, and he couldn't help but nodded lightly.

"Xiaomin Liu Yi, I have seen Lord Liu!" In front of twenty huge wooden boxes, Liu Yi held iron shackles, bent down and knelt on the ground, bowed his hands and bowed to Liu Dewei.

"Liu Yi, do you know your guilt?" Liu Dewei was sitting there, staring at Liu Yi without anger, shouting to him with a stern voice.

"Xiaomin doesn't know that from last night to this day, Xiaomin has been very confused. I don't know which law of my Tang Dynasty would be treated like this. Please tell me clearly!" Liu Yi looked up at Liu Dewei above and said softly to him.

Of course Liu Yi knew the reason, but the people outside didn’t know it, and some people inside didn’t understand it, so Liu Yi wanted Liu Dewei to say it again. If more people know it, the response will be stronger after a while.

Liu Yi could even imagine that when Hou Junji knew the final result, his face was twitching constantly. I wonder if he would regret it at that time. Why did he be obsessed with bringing these twenty boxes of gold to Chang'an City?

In fact, Hou Junji has not produced much evidence, only two, more than a dozen letters of conspiracy and twenty boxes of yellow barefoot real gold.

If these two things are in normal times, they are enough to cure anyone from death and to seek chaos. It is a word that any dynasty and any emperor are extremely afraid of. As long as someone touches it a little bit, it will be extremely difficult to clear it regardless of whether it is true or false.

However, this Liu Yi is different.

From the emperor and the empress to the minor officials of the people, they have basically received the favor of Liu Yi. Liu Yi's contribution to the agriculture and education of the Tang Dynasty was no less than the important officials and the heroes in the court. He made the national strength of the Tang Dynasty at least twice as much as the ones who had made it more than twice as possible in a short period of time.

Moreover, more importantly, Liu Yiu is just a civilian or a merchant. He was just a boy from a farmer's family. He had no power, no power and no wealth. How could he treason? What did he use to treason?

The first thing that everyone thought of was slander. Everything was done by Hou Junji.

"These gold belongs to the common people!" When Liu Dewei ordered people to open all the twenty boxes beside Liu Yi, a yellow light shone in it, which made many people dizzy for a moment. However, Liu Yi, at this time, admitted to Liu Dewei calmly that these twenty boxes of gold belonged to him.

Liu Yi's actions made everyone's expressions condense, and they all looked at Liu Yi.

Where did he get so much gold? Could it be that he really has plans to rebel?

In the side hall next to it, there were only a few people including Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, etc., and the expressions on their faces did not change much. I think they all saw a hint of clue. Today, I just want to know the answer.

"So, did you admit it?" Liu Dewei asked Liu Yi at the right time.

"The master misunderstood. Xiaomin said that these gold belong to the people, but the people have no intention of treason." Liu Yiuan said softly: "Today's saints are wise rulers who are unparalleled. They are wise and wise, and they are capable of singing and dancing. When the prosperous times are first revealed, Xiaomin is brave, but he dares not act against the will of heaven and seeking such a lifeless act. Therefore, you have misunderstood."

He flattered Li Shimin without any trace. Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting closer to Li Shimin, looked up and saw that after hearing Liu Yi's words, the corner of the emperor's mouth curled up a little, and he couldn't help but stretch out a pair of big fingers to Liu Yi, the boy.

"Hmph," Liu Dewei was unmoved at all. He picked up the letters on his desk, looked at Liu Yiu and said, "Then, what explanation do you think of these letters that collude with the Turks? Also, where did you, a small new landlord, get these golds?!"

"Mr. Liu, a while ago, Xiaomin received a letter and said that Mr. Liu was actually Xiaomin's biological elder brother who had been separated for many years. It was really unexpected that Xiaomin and Liu were actually their biological brothers." Without answering Liu Dewei's question, Liu Yiu began to get in touch with Liu Dewei.

"It's nonsense!" Liu Dewei looked stern, and he suddenly slapped the agglomeration again, saying, "I am already forty-six years this year, and I am about the same age as your parents. How could he be your biological brother?!"

"If you don't believe me, Xiaomin has a letter to prove it! Please take a look." As he said that, Liu Yiu took out a letter from his arms and handed it over to the jail beside him, and said loudly to Liu Dewei: "According to what the letter said in the letter, Lord Liu is indeed Xiaomin's biological elder brother! If the adult does not recognize it, then I wonder what explanation should be given to this letter? Please teach me."

With his own way, he also treated his body. In just a flash, Liu Yi returned what Liu Dewei asked him just now.

"You?" Liu Dewei opened his mouth but couldn't speak. After so many years of trial, this was the first time he encountered a situation like today. He was asked by his prisoners so much that he was so silenced.

"Okay, even if you say politely, these letters are not enough to be trustworthy. Then, what explanation do you think of these gold? With the current financial resources of your Liu family, how can you get such huge wealth?" Liu Dewei is also a person who can take it and let it go. Since Liu Yi's words are reasonable, he is unwilling to do anything more.

"Xiaomin has a treasure map passed down by his ancestors. Please read it."

Then, Liu Yiuan pulled out a very vulgar Qiao Duan'er and treasure map.

"My grandfather was the personal guard of Yang Xuangan, a general of the previous dynasty. When General Yang raised troops to rebel against the Sui Dynasty, in order to prevent accidents, Zeng ordered his grandfather to bury a batch of gold for later use. Later, for some reason, the matter was left in the end, and the map of burying gold was left in the hands of his grandfather. Xiaomin discovered it not long ago when he was sorting out the relics of his ancestors." Liu Yiu also handed over a dilapidated drawing.

"In order to recognize it, out of habit, when casting gold, the word Yang was printed on each piece of gold. If the adults don't believe it, check it on the spot." Then, Liu Yiuan threw out another seemingly reasonable evidence.

"Oh?" Liu Dewei glanced at the gold in the box below, and signaled to Shubo on the side. Shubo went down to check the gold himself.

"Sir," Shubo picked up a few pieces of gold, looked at them one by one, then shook his head and reported to Liu Dewei: "These gold bricks are smooth and there is no handwriting."

"This is impossible!" Liu Yi suddenly stood up from the ground, walked to the near side of Shubo, picked up a piece of gold, looked up and down seriously, and kept muttering: "This is impossible! This is impossible! How could there be no words? This is impossible!"

"Sir, this is not the gold of the common people! This is not, sir!" As he said that, Liu Yiuan pretended to be angry and threw the two gold bricks in his hand to the ground.

"Click!" With a crisp sound, two pieces of gold that fell to the ground broke.

At the same time, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Cen Wenben all reacted. They finally knew what Liu Yi wanted to do...
