The eldest son is fierce

Duke Liang's heart sank to the bottom, and his mind was working quickly to find a solution.

At this time, Xiao Di had already brought the witness to the court with an arrogant stride.

"Prince Yan, where has Prince Yan been recently?"

When he saw Xiao Di, Qi Wendao's face twitched violently and he asked in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister and his party looked at each other in bewilderment.

Prince of Yan, Xiao Di... If he hadn't appeared now, they would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in Kyoto.

"Master Qi, the Prince of Yan has no foundation in the court, so he's not a threat, right?"

someone whispered.

"Confused."

Qi Wendao stared at Xiao Di with a grim expression: "Although Prince Yan doesn't have much foundation in the court, he is a prince. With Tang Yi's help, there is nothing he can't do."

"If he is the one who actually does the work, and Tang Yi is just a bait to attract our attention, then we might die without even knowing how we died."

Hearing this, the group of people suddenly became a little scared.

Now Tang Yi is still interrogating Duke Liang, forcing this dignified family into an awkward situation.

If they don't keep an eye on Tang Yi, they might be the ones to be tried next time.

"Your Majesty, this old man is the former steward of the Liang family, Liang Gui."

In the court, Tang Yi bowed to Emperor Yanwen and said, "Back then, the Liang family hid the red book and iron certificate, and it was Liang Gui who carried out the operation. What is the truth? Your Majesty will know once you ask."

Emperor Yanwen's cold gaze immediately fell on Liang Gui.

Liang Gui was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling.

"I am guilty, Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"I confess, I tell you everything, I tell you everything."

Liang Gui was already frightened half to death. He kowtowed and pointed at Duke Liang, saying, "Your Majesty, it was you who told me to do this. It was you who told me to do this!"

"When Prime Minister Du advised Your Majesty to take back the Red Book and Iron Certificate, the Duke was very upset. So, taking advantage of the Northern Di invasion of the capital, he ordered me to...hide the Red Book and Iron Certificate in a toilet."

"To prevent any accidents, the master also killed the servants who knew the truth and buried them all in the toilet."

"I, I took advantage of the chaos when the Northern Di army attacked the Duke's Mansion and escaped..."

After hearing Liang Gui's confession, Emperor Yanwen's face suddenly turned cold.

He was not a pedantic person. If the Liang family hid the red book and iron certificate in that place in order to protect it from falling into the hands of foreign enemies, and took it out and reported it immediately afterwards, he would not mind.

After all, in order to escape the Northern Di army, he, the emperor, even crawled through a dog hole.

But from the very beginning, the Liang family only wanted to use the red book and iron certificate for their own selfish desires, and even lied to him, saying that the red book and iron certificate had been abducted by the Northern Di.

In order to cope with his investigation, he even hid the red book and iron certificate in that place for half a year!

What did they regard the emperor's reward as?

"My dear Lord Liang, do you have anything to explain to me?" Emperor Yanwen's eyes fell on Duke Liang and his voice was stern.

Emperor Taizu was such a hero, but he was humiliated by this idiot. This was simply intolerable.

Killing is not enough to appease his anger.

"Your Majesty, Liang Gui was indeed the steward of the Duke of Liang's mansion, but he is framing me!"

Duke Liang had already prepared a response plan. Facing Emperor Yanwen's questioning, he very frankly admitted Liang Gui's identity.

But Liang Gui would never admit the testimony he gave even if he was beaten to death.

Without evidence, what can you do to me even if you talk big?

Without any physical evidence, you want to convict a former steward of the Duke of Liang's Mansion based on his empty promises?

dream!

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you and to the Great Yan. How could I do such a treasonous act that betrays my ancestors?"

Duke Liang looked directly into Emperor Yanwen's eyes and pointed at Tang Yi: "It was him, Your Majesty. He was the one who deliberately plotted to harm me. Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"

Liang Rong also reacted and kowtowed to Emperor Yanwen: "Yes, Your Majesty, all of this is Tang Yi's conspiracy, it's all Tang Yi's conspiracy!"

Emperor Yanwen stared at the Liang father and son who were kneeling in the court and trying hard to act pitiful, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Haha, without any witnesses, you and your son will go crazy.

If there are witnesses, is it a conspiracy? Is it a frame-up?

I'm afraid you and your son have forgotten how arrogant you were just now?

Seeing this scene, the place was in an uproar.

"Lord Tang is presenting a witness, but there's only one witness. There's really no way to verify the story. Damn it, are we going to let this bastard get away with it?"

"Didn't Liang Gui say that? Those who knew the truth back then were all killed and buried alive."

"Damn it, so Lord Tang is in trouble."

"..."

***, Qi Wendao and others looked at this scene, and finally there was a smile on their faces.

An old fox is an old fox. If he refuses to admit anything like this, and there is no physical evidence or sufficient witnesses, then even if Liang Gui speaks eloquently, it will only be his own words.

Liang Rong also raised his head and looked at Tang Yi provocatively.

Tang Yi was speechless when he looked at the father and son. Idiot, I made such a big scene and invited all parties to join in. Would I dare to play such a big game without evidence?

"Duke Liang and the Crown Prince, you really won't cry until you see the coffin!"

He stepped forward and kicked Liang Rong to the ground, staring down at the father and son. "Are you two sure we have evidence? So you have no other options?"

"What a shame, I have the evidence!"

Duke Liang and Liang Rong suddenly raised their heads and stared at Tang Yi coldly.

You have evidence? Impossible!

It has been more than ten years, and except for Liang Gui, all the people who knew about this matter are dead. Where did you get the evidence?

Haha, you are just trying to scare us!

Tang Yi pointed at the red-lettered certificate in Duke Liang's hand and said with a playful smile, "Old Liang, why are you so arrogant? Haven't you always held the evidence in your hands?"

"The red seal and iron certificate is the evidence!"

Duke Liang and Liang Rong's expressions instantly froze.

Everyone's eyes fell on the red-lettered iron certificate in the hands of Duke Liang.

Many people immediately understood what Tang Yi meant and became excited.

"That's right! The Duke of Liang's Mansion is storing the Red Book and Iron Certificate, and the Red Book and Iron Certificate itself is a form of evidence."

"That's true, but how can we prove that the red seal and iron certificate are evidence?"

"No, I feel like I understand it, but I'm even more confused..."

"..."

The scene suddenly became noisy, with everyone speculating and discussing.

Duke Liang felt extremely uneasy as he listened to the discussions around him. His face turned pale and purple. He felt that the life-saving talisman in his hand was suddenly extremely hot, and he couldn't help but want to throw it away.

Tang Yi approached him, shattering the hope in his heart word by word.

"Look at the bottom of the red-lettered iron certificate in your hand. Is there a triangular scratch?"

"That was the evidence Liang Gui left behind to protect himself when you asked him to do this."

"And you just solemnly assured me that the Red Book and Iron Certificate had absolutely never passed through the hands of any outsider."

"Then the question arises. Liang Gui did such a great job, how could he appear in the Red Book of Iron?"

Duke Liang subconsciously flipped open the red-lettered iron certificate, and sure enough, there was a clear triangular scratch on the bottom of the certificate.

Boom!

Duke Liang was suddenly struck by lightning and was stunned.
