Chapter 577
Li Mingfang's death, Shangguan Xuanyi actually didn't care, he even felt that her death was not a pity. But someone detained the basin that killed Li Mingfang on his body, which had to ask him to send someone to investigate the cause of Li Mingfang's death.
After Shangguan Xuanyi returned home, he arranged for the dark one to find out the truth of the matter.
Early the next morning, Dark One told Shangguan Xuanyi what he had discovered, and Lord Yang couldn't stand the torture to extract a confession, so he confessed everything.
The truth of the matter is that Lord Yang overheard Li Mingfang and the people of Bat Village discussing the kidnapping and ransom of the county lord of Rui'an, it just so happened that he had been greedy for a lot of money in the past few years, and now someone is threatening him with this, he lacks silver to fill this hole, and feels that this is really a godsend!
He planned to take the opportunity to cooperate with Li Mingfang to kidnap the county lord of Rui'an, extort 300,000 taels from Shengping Hou, and then divide him 100,000 taels, so that his shortfall in public funds could be filled.
He didn't expect Li Mingfang to refuse, she said that it was impossible for Shengping Hou to get 300,000 taels! But for the sake of his uncle, he would give him 10,000 taels after the matter was completed.
Where is 10,000 taels enough to fill that vacancy! He retreated to the next best thing, only 60,000 taels.
60,000 taels, and he took another 20,000 taels out himself, so that the deficit of public funds could be made up.
But where is Li Mingfang willing to take out 60,000 taels, she takes out 60,000 taels, in that case, she will only have 40,000 taels left!
The two of them shared the spoils unevenly, and the people who threatened Lord Yang were pressed tightly, so Lord Yang could only retreat and plan to ask Li Mingfang to borrow 60,000 taels first and return it to her later, but unfortunately, Li Mingfang's wedding date was approaching, and 100,000 taels of silver were used to press the bottom of the box, so how could he agree to lend it.
Lord Yang was also annoyed by this, but he also had no choice, General Li's official was bigger than his.
At this time, the person who threatened him told him that if he killed Li Mingfang and wanted to blame the six princes' subordinates, he would help him fill in the empty army!
Otherwise, once this matter reaches the emperor, he will lose his life, and his wife and children will be reduced to slavery, and he will not be able to turn over for generations!
Although Lord Yang knew that the person who blamed the Six Princes was no different from the one who blamed the Six Princes, he had no other way but to agree.
After thinking about it, Lord Yang thought of arresting Li Fu's son who was a soldier in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and threatened Li Fu to deliberately expose his flaws and lead the people of the Six Princes to the house.
Li Fu himself is a slave, his son because he saved Li Mingjun who fell from a tree because he was a child, and he got the grace of Li Lao Taijun, and finally got rid of his slave status, and now he is in the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division, his son has a great future in the future, he is still waiting for his son to glorify his ancestors, how can he bear to have an accident with his son! After a night of entanglement, he reluctantly agreed.
Li Fu just promised to lead people over, he didn't expect that when he arrived at the house, he would see Li Mingfang dead, Li Fu is an understanding person, he knew that Li Mingfang was dead, and he couldn't live if he knew this secret, so he simply committed suicide, so as to prove to Lord Yang that he would never tell this matter, and hoped that Lord Yang would let his innocent son go.
Li Fu's suicide was an accident for Lord Yang, but Li Fu's suicide made him feel that things were better! In this way, no one knew that Li Mingfang's death had something to do with him! It just so happened that he could blame Feng Yang for Li Fu's death.
He didn't expect that there was no trace of a fight at the scene, but it became one of the keys to solving the case.
What I found in the dark is basically the same as what Lord Yang said, but Lord Yang didn't say who the person who secretly threatened him was!
"Who threatened him?" Shangguan Xuanyi asked Dark One.
Dark One shook his head: "That person is very careful, every time he sees his face, he wears a mask, and he doesn't leave any clues, and Lord Yang also said that he doesn't know who he is, because he wears a mask every time, and his voice is also disguised." ”
Shangguan Xuanyi nodded, and let Dark One retreat.
If you want to know who threatened Lord Yang, you only need to analyze who benefited the most from Li Mingfang's death.
His intuition told him that this was done by the third prince.
But Li Mingfang's death doesn't do much good to the third child! Didn't the third child ask the queen mother for this family affair himself? Now he has destroyed this chess piece with his own hands, why is it? Shangguan Xuanyi frowned.
Just in order to turn himself and the Li family against each other, he killed Li Mingfang and then blamed himself, is this a bit worth the loss?
Without the support of a father-in-law who holds the power of the army, has the third child found a better person to rely on than General Li?
Or does he think that he can't find evidence to prove that he did it, killing a person who is not in him and always wants to cuckold himself, and then he will not get less support, and he can put himself and General Li against him?
In the absence of evidence, would General Li believe that it was the Third Prince who killed Li Mingfang? If he were General Li, he would not have thought that the Third Prince would have killed Li Mingfang!
General Li was more inclined to believe that he had sent someone to threaten Lord Yang to assassinate Li Mingfang.
I thought it was a good show that I directed and acted myself!
Hmph!
Shangguan Xuanyi didn't think much about it when he thought of this, he couldn't find evidence for the time being, it doesn't mean that he couldn't find evidence in the future, he walked a lot at night, and he would always encounter ghosts.
Whether it is the third prince or General Li, he is not afraid!
The Li family used to be full of loyal martyrs, but in all dynasties and dynasties, no matter how much merit there was, he couldn't beat a single one! He just found some clues, owed more evidence, and served it in one pot!
He shook his head, put his head down, and concentrated on the business on the table.
……
The case could not be closed for the time being because he couldn't find the person who threatened him to kill Li Mingfang in the mouth of Yang Da.
But Li Mingfang found someone to kidnap Xiao'er and extort 200,000 taels is conclusive evidence!
Mrs. Li went to prison again.
Regarding Li Mingfang's kidnapping for ransom, the people of the Li family put all the responsibility on Li Mingfang, who was already dead, and they didn't know anything about it.
The people arranged by Feng Yang also caught the people at the bottom of the river, and after repeated torture, they only said that Li Fu ordered them to do this, and they didn't know why they did it. Just do what you're told!
Li Mingfang and Li Fu are dead, and the emperor remembers that the Li family is full of loyal martyrs, and uses the excuse that his godson is not strict to weaken part of General Li's military power as a punishment.
As for Lord Yang, although the person he said threatened him has not yet been found, his corrupt army and his design to frame the six princes are a fact, and the fate of beheading cannot be lost, as for his family, the male is in the army, and the female is enslaved.
Mrs. Li's sister simply hates Mrs. Li to death!
