Principal of the Heavens

"My lord, this matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, how could the case be closed so hastily." He Zongwei immediately refuted.

"What's not clear? Mr. Guo was beaten last night. Fan Xian was on the flower boat that night, and he didn't have time to commit crimes at all!

And you keep saying that Fan Xian did it, but you can't produce any evidence. Is it possible to convict people of guilt based on Guo Baokun's one-sided words? "

Li Yi didn't seem to care about what He Zongwei said, but still asked Xiangmei Zhili.

Mei Zhili's face was cloudy and uncertain, he was silent for two seconds, then turned to look at He Zongwei, the meaning was very obvious, if they couldn't produce more evidence, the case would be closed.

"There is evidence!" He Zongwei shouted quickly, and at the same time took out a piece of paper from his pocket without haste, "Your Excellency, the evidence is here. Wanli is often a guest in the sad autumn, and he is alone on the stage with a hundred years of illness."

As He Zongwei said, he handed the paper to Mei Zhili, "This poem was written by Fan Xian at the poetry meeting yesterday, and the murderer kept chanting this poem when he committed the crime yesterday."

Li Yi glanced at it, and immediately retorted, "So many people at yesterday's poetry meeting knew about this poem, just because of this, it cannot prove that Fan Xian did it.

And I suspect that it was Guo Baokun, Mr. Guo, who was angry yesterday. Fan Xian made such a good poem, so he had no choice but to beat himself up.

In order to tarnish Fan Xian's reputation, Mr. Guo even went so far as to do it himself, which is truly amazing. "

Li Yi looked at Guo Baokun as if he admired him very much, and he was able to beat his own determination.

Guo Baokun was speechless at this moment, and with difficulty stretched out his hands and waved his hands to express his anger.

He Zongwei hurriedly comforted him for a while, and then let Guo Baokun put his hand back on the stretcher.

"Joke, why did Mr. Guo beat himself? Don't talk nonsense in the courtroom." He Zongwei smiled disdainfully, with contempt in his eyes.

"Then how can you prove that it was Fan Xian who beat Guo Baokun? It's impossible to decide based on the current evidence, but we have evidence to prove that Fan Xian himself was not there."

Li Yi was confident now, and looked at He Zongwei provocatively. He really didn't like this He Zongwei.

"Then ask witnesses." After Mei Zhili finished speaking, he looked at the poem on the table.

He had to admire in his heart, this is really a good poem.

Li Yi's witness is Li Hongcheng, Prince Jing's son, and asked the servants of the Kyoto Prefecture to notify him.

Li Hongcheng's movements were also quite fast, perhaps because he had prepared in advance, but he had already arrived at the court in three to five minutes.

Mei Zhili and He Zongwei saluted immediately, and Li Hongcheng glanced at Mei Zhili indifferently.

"Fan Xian and Xiao Wang spent the night on the flower boat yesterday and did not go out." Li Hongcheng is now talking nonsense with his eyes open. Fan Xian did go out last night, but he didn't know what he did until now.

Didn't he just beat Guo Baokun up, don't worry about small things.

After Li Hongcheng finished speaking, Mei Zhili immediately lost his temper, and the other party, as a child of the royal family, took the initiative to stand up and support Fan Xian on the platform.

And there was really no real evidence to prove that Fan Xian had indeed hit Guo Baokun, He Zongwei also looked helpless at this time.

Fan Xian was very meticulous in his work, and no one saw him that night.

"Since there are witnesses, then Fan Xian is cleared of suspicion. This is the end of your case." Mei Zhili's face was full of joy, and he was about to give up when he said that.

"My lord!" A shout came from the outside of the courtroom.

"What's the matter?" Mei Zhili hesitated for a moment, and asked without dropping the gavel directly.

"His Royal Highness is here."

As soon as the officer's words fell, dozens of well-trained sergeants in armor and waist knives walked in through the gate of Kyoto Prefecture, and stood on both sides.

After the hearing, He Zongwei glanced at him from afar, then turned his head to look at Guo Baokun, "Mr. Guo, Fan Xian is done for today."

Guo Baokun hummed twice to express that he knew it, but anyone could tell that he was very happy at this moment.

A carriage came to the gate of the capital, Prince Li Chengqian slowly stepped out of the carriage, and the servants beside him immediately put on the canopy.

Li Chengqian was wearing azure blue clothes, and walked towards Fan Xian slowly with his hands raised.

It's just that the canopy following behind him couldn't get in for a while because the gate of the capital was too short.

Li Chengqian looked at it helplessly, stood on the spot and directed, "You are in the front, and you take it in sideways from the back."

After seeing Hua Gai coming in, Li Chengqian smiled calmly and walked into the courtroom freely.

All of a sudden, except for Li Yi and Fan Xian, everyone else knelt down and chanted, "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Even Guo Baokun groaned a few times while lying on the stretcher, and it was probably barely audible that he said he was paying his respects to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Chengqian walked up to Li Hongcheng and said, "They are all relatives of my family, get up quickly."

At the same time, he looked at Mei Zhili behind him, "Master Mei, please get up quickly."

Mei Zhili was helped up by the prince in fear, "His Royal Highness, why are you here?"

Li Chengqian immediately said, "I'll come to see your trial!"

"This..." Mei Zhili was silent for a moment, then pointed to the seat he had taken before in the courtroom, "His Royal Highness, please take your seat."

Li Chengqian turned his head to look at Li Yi at this time. He knew who the person in front of him was, although he didn't know what Li Yi and the second prince talked about that day.

But Li Chengqian knew exactly what Li Yi and Fan Xian said that day.

Li Chengqian could immediately tell that this person was definitely a genius, a rare genius.

It took only a few days to enter Kyoto, and there was almost no information.

He was able to judge very clearly the specific relationship between his eldest princess and the second prince.

It is even possible to roughly estimate the real thing they are going to do next, and the calculation is close to ten.

And he can also help Fan Xian analyze the pros and cons, such a person is rare.

It's a pity that he can't use it for himself, Li Chengqian thought so, picked up a small stool and placed it on the left side of Mei Zhili's seat, "This prince will sit here."

Mei Zhili kept bowing his head to Li Chengqian.

"Sit!" Li Chengqian said after taking the order, glanced at Mei Zhili in front of him.

"Don't dare." Mei Zhili lowered his head by three points, how dare he sit down beside the prince.

"Mei Zhili, you are Yi of Kyoto Prefecture, don't mess up your identity. Sit down." Li Chengqian's tone was obviously much more serious than before.

After listening to Li Chengqian's words, Mei Zhili walked around tremblingly holding the table, and then slowly sat down on the chair. When he sat on the chair, he seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and even the sweat on his forehead was covered with a layer of sweat. Layer by layer to take off.

He didn't seem to know where to put his hands, took the pleadings, looked at the gavel, but he didn't know what to do for a long time.

"His Royal Highness, the trial of the case is over, and Fan Xian is not guilty." Li Yi looked at Li Chengqian and Mei Zhili and said.
