Chen Pingping's eyes narrowed as he suddenly asked, "Were you the one who broke into the palace last night?"
Li Chengyuan laughed and said, "Yeah! It's me, but it's not just me, 933 also has Uncle Wuzhu and Old Huang!"
It was Uncle Wuzhu who led Hong Sixiang away, and Lao Huang and I went to steal the key.
But it seems that only Uncle Wuzhu was found in the palace!"
Chen Pingping nodded in amazement and said, "Indeed, Your Majesty only knows that someone mistakenly entered the palace and was driven away by Eunuch Hong.
But I didn't expect that this would actually lure the snake out of its hole!"
Fan Xian interrupted, "So, you heard the princess and Zhuang Mohan plotting last night? But that can't be used as evidence, right?"
"What about this?" Li Chengyuan took out a few more pieces of paper from his arms and placed them on the table.
After Fan Xian took it and read it, he was so shocked that his mouth went dry.
Seeing Fan Xian's shocked expression, Chen Pingping asked curiously, "What's written on it?"
㈦ "Mr. Zhuang...Zhuang Mohan's confession!"
1 "???"
⑵ Chen Pingping suddenly turned around and looked at Li Chengyuan, also shocked, "You even got this?"
Wu Lichengyuan laughed and said, "Didn't you also arrest Zhuang Mohan's driver?"
7Fan Xian: “???”
Chen Pingping shook his head and said, "I did arrest his coachman, but I only found out from interrogation that Zhuang Mohan had met with the Minister of Rites, Guo Youzhi, in private. I don't know anything else!"
Li Chengyuan replied, "Guo Youzhi is also Li Yunrui's man. That day, Guo Youzhi helped Li Yunrui pass a message to Zhuang Mohan!"
6 “So that’s how it is!” Chen Pingping understood everything.
⑧Fan Xian: “…”
Does love make you know nothing?
"Brother, how did you convince Zhuang Mohan to plead guilty?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
"I didn't say that, he confessed on his own initiative!" Li Chengyuan said with emotion: "That day I sent someone to look for him outside the city.
Originally, I thought about asking him if he was willing to admit his mistake. If he was willing to admit his mistake, I would give him a chance to correct it and promise him that it was the eldest princess who bribed the Emperor of Qi and he framed you for the benefit of Qi. In this way, his reputation could be saved.
And if he persists, I will use threats and inducements to force him to tell the truth."
"What's the result?" Fan Xian asked curiously.
"As soon as my people started talking, Zhuang Mohan took the initiative to admit his mistake.
He said that my four sentences as a scholar and the sentence 'No one is perfect, but it is the greatest virtue to be able to correct one's mistakes' made a deep impression on him.
So I want to repent and admit my mistakes.
Then my people told him they could help him cover up the truth.
He said he didn't want to make the same mistake again and wanted to face the facts, so he rejected my offer and insisted on admitting all his mistakes!
After hearing Li Chengyuan's words, everyone present fell silent.
Even though Zhuang Mohan had framed Fan Xian and even though he was a great scholar from an enemy country, at this moment, everyone present had a sincere admiration for him.
It is easy to say that one can correct mistakes, but not many people can actually do it.
And people like Zhuang Mohan who admit their mistakes so thoroughly are really admired.
Fan Xian sighed and said, "Brother, I don't blame him anymore!"
Li Chengyuan nodded, looking relieved.
With Fan Xian's words, he could help Zhuang Mohan.
Regardless, Zhuang Mohan's proactive admission of his fault helped both him and Fan Xian, and the grudge was finally settled.
Chapter 158: Friendly match between Li Chengyuan and Chen Pingping! Fan Xian and Li Chengyuan showdown!
"With Mr. Zhuang's testimony, can we convict the Princess?"
Wang Qinian asked excitedly.
Fan Xian also looked at Li Chengyuan and Chen Pingping with hope.
Then, Li Chengyuan and Chen Pingping shook their heads.
Li Chengyuan said, "Forget about punishing him. Your Majesty will at most scold Li Yunrui and give him some mild punishment to explain to the outside world. That's all!"
"Why?" Fan Xian asked, puzzled. "Is this the grave crime of treason? Even this doesn't infuriate His Majesty?"
"Heh~!" Chen Pingping shook his head and laughed, "Fan Xian, you're not as insightful as Cheng Yuan in this regard!"
After praising Li Chengyuan, Chen Pingping said, "No matter what, Li Yunrui is the eldest princess. Although she's not a blood relative, she's still a member of the royal family. No matter how serious her crime is, she'll be reprimanded!"
"Ha~!" Fan Xian laughed in anger. "Doesn't this mean that all my brother's efforts were in vain?"
Wang Qinian also said angrily: "Isn't this a confusion of right and wrong?"
Teng Zijing said calmly: "This court can't distinguish right from wrong, otherwise I wouldn't have to pretend to die twice.
Therefore, His Highness must succeed to the throne. Only he can transform the court and bring it new vitality!"
"Hey?" Wang Qinian's eyes lit up, and he quickly agreed, "I agree with that. Only Your Highness is qualified to be the Crown Prince of Qing!"
"I agree too!" Fan Xian echoed.
Even Chen Pingping looked at Li Chengyuan with a smile on her face.
Li Chengyuan looked at everyone and laughed speechlessly: "You are talking about Li Yunrui, why are you dragging me into this?
I'm in this situation, is there any way out?
Instead of talking about my future, let’s talk about business!”
Everyone smiled when they heard Li Chengyuan say this.
Because of Li Chengyuan's words, everyone had a common goal, which was to assist Li Chengyuan in succeeding to the throne!
This is very important, and the conversation was just right!
Of course, there is no need to say much about this matter, it is enough for everyone to know it.
So everyone's attention immediately shifted to Li Yunrui.
However, after thinking for a long time, no one had any idea.
"There's nothing we can do about it!" Wang Qinian said, "Even treason can't punish her, so the Niulan Street case is even more unbearable.
What's more, the clues in the Niulan Street case have been completely cut off because Lin Gong is dead!
I can’t check it even if I want to!
All roads are blocked.
What else can we do?"
Fan Xian was also at a loss.
Although he is smart, he is limited in information, so he is like a good cook without rice.
However, when Fan Xian looked up, he saw Li Chengyuan and Chen Pingping leisurely drinking tea. He immediately said, "Brother, Dean, do you have any ideas?"
Li Chengyuan and Chen Pingping smiled at each other.
Li Chengyuan spoke first: "I definitely have a way, and I believe that the dean also has a way!"
Chen Pingping was stunned when he heard this, then asked curiously: "Chengyuan, don't tell me you guessed what my method is?"
Li Chengyuan chuckled and said, "I did guess a little, but the dean's method won't be easy to succeed!"
Chen Pingping looked at Li Chengyuan with a look of amazement and loss.
What amazed him was that Li Chengyuan could see through him completely.
What's disappointing is that he, who prides himself on being smart, now suddenly feels a little useless.
This made Chen Pingping sigh: "Oh, I'm getting old!"
Li Chengyuan hurriedly said, "Dean, you shouldn't say that! You're still young, and I was just lucky. Compared to you, I'm actually still young!"
Chen Pingping smiled gently and shook his head, then said, "My method is indeed a bit difficult and will take some time!"
"How long will it take?" Li Chengyuan asked.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Pingping said with a serious expression, "If you can spread the news of Li Yunrui's treason tomorrow, then... the night after tomorrow, before the night after tomorrow, I can get her out of Kyoto!"
"Okay, then, the day after tomorrow!" Li Chengyuan said with a smile, "The day after tomorrow, we'll do it together. You'll be responsible for getting her kicked out of Kyoto, and I'll be responsible for getting her fired!"
"Okay!" Chen Pingping said with a bright look in his eyes, showing his interest. "Actually, I'm really curious. Do you have any way to make her lose her position and title? At least for me, asking her to get out of Kyoto is the limit!"
Li Chengyuan chuckled and said, "Actually, if it weren't for you, I would have had to tell her to get out of Kyoto, but with mine and yours added together, that should be enough!"
"Okay, then I'll look forward to your surprise!" Chen Pingping responded.
He didn't ask any further questions.
Because it is not necessary.
Although they work together, they still have to do their own thing when it comes to implementation.
So it doesn’t matter whether Li Chengyuan says it or not.
More importantly, Chen Pingping could see that Li Chengyuan wanted to have a "friendly match" with him to see who could make the greater contribution in this "battle."
Since this is the case, as an elder, he naturally cannot spoil the fun.
"Don't worry, Dean, I won't let you down!" Li Chengyuan said with a smile.
"No!" Fan Xian was stunned. "Hey, you two, do you treat us as human beings? What are you talking about? Can you explain it to me?"
"What do you want to explain?" Li Chengyuan curled his lips and said, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking!"
Fan Xian: "..."
Defensive!
He's about to break through!
Wang Qinian covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter, and almost laughed out loud.
