Chapter 858

Li Shimin's question made all the officials of those aristocratic families confused. They did not expect that Li Shimin was waiting for them here. Whoever was the head of the family needs Li Shimin's recognition now. If Li Shimin does not admit it, then they would not be able to get the money. After all, most of their money is in the hands of Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, this, I believe our heads will not do such a thing! Please be aware of it!" Cui Ren was a little panicked at this moment. If they really killed those heads, it would not be as simple as slapping their family in the face. The key is that their family will soon fall into civil strife. It is unlikely that they want to unite to deal with the court. Someone will definitely defect to Li Shimin because of money.

"Do you believe it or not? Then you will know when you go and see your head. Look at them. Have we scolded them or tortured them? You can all go and see. There is nothing to show to others. However, I also hope that you will consider it clearly. Who will be the next head of the family? Is it among you?

Or, if you choose a respected person from your family, you will recommend it to me. I will see it. There is nothing else. If you have any opinions on the testimony, you can just follow His Royal Highness to see it later!" Li Shimin sat there, and said to them in a very plain tone.

When they heard this, their hearts were sinking. Now that Li Shimin said this, it means that these testimonies are true. Their heads must be dying. It would be simple to die. But in the future, if their aristocratic families want to return to their former glory again, there will be no hope.

It is even said that in the future, their aristocratic families will be in name only, and gradually, even this name may not be available.

Soon, they followed Li Chengqian to the Dali Temple and entered the cell of Dali Temple. They wanted to ask their heads why they did this and why they put the family in a huge crisis. When they entered the cell, they were stunned. The heads of their homes were sleeping soundly in the cell, with a good face, and there were quilts on the table, which were prepared for them!

"Why are you all sleeping?" Cui Renshi looked at Li Chengqian in surprise and asked.

"Oh, that's right. The interrogation was a bit late last night and they all went to bed. But you can go in and wake them up!" Li Chengqian said with a smile. When Master Cui Ren heard it, he entered the prison cell of their head of the Cui family, pushed their head and shouted: "Uncle Fifth, Uncle Fifth!"

"Well, don't make a noise. Let me sleep for a while. I said everything, and I admit it, don't make a noise!" The head of the family turned around and said impatiently.

"This, Uncle Fifth, it's me, Uncle Fifth!" Master Cui Ren was anxious when he heard this, why did he admit it? He even said in front of so many people.

"Hmm? Oh, it's you, why are you here?" The head of the family opened his eyes and saw that it was Master Cui In, so he struggled to do it. Master Cui In immediately supported him.

"How are you sleeping well?" Li Chengqian stood there with a smile and said.

"You, you!" The head of the family saw that it was Li Chengqian, so angry.

"Gu doesn't want to come and disturb you, it's because they don't believe your confession, so Gu will bring them over to see you and see if Gu has tortured you." Li Chengqian still looked at them with a smile and said.

"Hmph, despicable!" The head of the family turned his head and said angrily.

"But don't say that, you want our father and son to live. Now that we have been caught, we must ask clearly, no matter how we dare to do it, we must dare to take it. Otherwise, you will embarrass your aristocratic family. Assassinate the emperor and the prince, you are so brave!" Li Chengqian stood there and continued to say with a smile.

"Uncle Fifth, I have tortured you. There are so many ministers here, you can tell the truth." Cui Ren immediately reminded his head and said. The head of the family turned his head and looked at Li Chengqian, then lowered his head and said nothing. It was really useless tortured.

"Uncle Fifth, do you say that otherwise, it will kill you. It's time." Cui Ren looked at him anxiously and urged him.

"We have no punishment. We admit it. There is no way. If you don't admit it, it's okay. Don't come to see us. Do whatever you should do. Do what Your Majesty has told you. We have lost, and we have lost very thoroughly. In the future, don't think about avenging us. We can't avenge anymore. Just be your official!" The head of the family sighed, and then looked at the officials watching here and said. The officials were quite surprised when they heard it. They admitted it and did not allow them to overturn the case. This is a fatal thing.

"Uncle Fifth, what are you talking about? Such a thing is going to be beheaded!" Cui Renshi continued to remind him anxiously and shouted.

"I know, before doing this, we knew that, in addition, you remember one person, Li Zhi, the Marquis of Jinyang, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't have come to this point. This guy is vicious and wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman and get us all in!" The head of the family said angrily.

"What's going on? How can you be so confused? Ah?" Cui Renshi was so anxious and very depressed.

"Yes, what's going on? Why did you take this step?" Wei Ting was also very anxious. If the heads of the family gave up, then what reason would they have to persevere?

"We were deceived by the Marquis of Jinyang. We were fooled by him. Is Marquis of Jinyang arrested now?" The head of the family said and looked at the other people. When those people heard it, they looked at Li Chengqian.

"We have not arrested yet. We will investigate his affairs, but now we are mainly investigating your affairs. After all, those maids and eunuchs were put in by you back then, and they were also the orders you gave. Of course, I will look for you." Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, but unexpectedly,

He actually told Li Zhi about it here, and Li Zhi would be in trouble at that time. Maybe those aristocratic families would attack Li Zhi. Thinking of this, Li Chengqian said, "You don't have to push the crime to others. The lord is just a marquis or a demoted marquis. Can they still command you? If you fail, will you put the blame on others?"

"Hmph, Li Zhi is vicious. When he was demoted, we really didn't understand. Now, I think about it, this person is extremely vicious. If he hadn't joined forces with us, he would have assassinated you and agreed to us. When he went up, he would cancel everything that Mr. Hu did, and we would not agree." The head of the family said to Li Chengqian angrily.

"Oh, you believe this? Humph, if you didn't want to kill our father and son, how could this happen today?" Li Chengqian continued to help Li Zhi. There was no way, Li Chengqian still didn't want Li Zhi to die. The words of his mother were still in his ears. If he could, he would help him. Although the people he was going to assassinate also included himself, no matter what, he was his younger brother.

"You just remember, don't believe his words in the future, and hum!" The head of the family said another, and then stopped talking.

"Your Highness, then, the Marquis of Jinyang is the chief culprit, why didn't he come back from arrest? The chief culprit must have severe punishment. Your Highness cannot just be a secret just because he is a prince. In this way, how can the people in the world be convinced?" Cui Renshi seemed to have caught something, and immediately stood up and said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, Your Highness, since the Marquis of Jinyang is the first culprit, why don't he be arrested? If we don't punish him severely, we will not accept it! Our head of the family was instigated by him!" Wei Ting also stood up and said to Li Chengqian.

"Yes, we must arrest the Marquis of Jinyang, otherwise we will not accept it!" The others shouted, which shocked Li Chengqian.

He did not expect that there would be such consequences. He brought them here to see the situation of these heads of the family, but now they actually took Li Zhi's life, or they wanted to exchange Li Zhi's life for the lives of these people. They said that Li Zhi was the first criminal, so if Li Zhi didn't behead him, they would not behead him. However, Li Shimin might not agree to kill Li Zhi, and he could not give such an order.

"Your Highness, please do it impartially. Marquis of Jinyang is the first criminal. If he doesn't arrest him, wouldn't he betray the law for personal gain?" Cui Renshi bowed to Li Chengqian. Li Chengqian nodded and said, "If you are alone in considering the matter of Marquis of Jinyang, you will report it to your father. What should you do at that time? There will definitely be a result. Now that everyone has seen their situation and heard that they have admitted it in person, please come back. It is useless to say more!"

Then the guards behind him came over and invited them out. After Li Chengqian was imprisoned in Dali Temple, he felt very upset and angry that Li Zhi was ignorant.

However, he still needed to report to Li Shimin quickly. Whether Li Zhi should be arrested or not is probably not good. Soon, Li Chengqian arrived at Chengtian Palace, where Li Shimin was sitting there reading the memorial.

"Father!" Li Chengqian shouted after coming in.

"I've finished reading it? Is there any objection?" Li Shimin asked when he looked at Li Chengqian.

"Father, the head of Cui's family in Qinghe woke up and admitted his crime, but he also said that this time it was instigated by the slaughter. Since they were arrested, the slaughter also needed to be arrested. Wei Ting and Cui Renshi also shouted, "If you don't catch the slaughter, they will not accept it. Father, what should I do?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin with a little anxious and asked.
