216.Chapter 216

Now that the waves in Chang'an City are treacherous, and there are countless eyeliners arranged everywhere, how can you not know the whereabouts of the dignified King of Xin'an? As soon as he rode his horse away from the Wu Guogong Mansion and Zongzheng Temple, the news of his visit to Wu Guogong and King Jing was already on the desks of many people. For this young county king, the old foxes did not care. Even the eldest princess of Anxing just lazily looked at the news and put it down.

Even though he did have some intelligence, he was just a young man who didn't have much means. Jun didn't see, even if he ran around and worked hard to intercede for Li Heng, the king of Yue, didn't Wu Guogong and King Jing have any movement? How could these two cunning foxes be persuaded by a mere junior?

Everyone understands that at such a time, if you are involved in the rebellion of King Yue, you will only end up with a thorn in the side of several people. The forces that are willing to let King Yue die have long exceeded the forces that feel that King Yue should live. And the so-called impartial neutrals only verify the evidence, and do not recognize any human feelings.

Princess An Xing and the others wanted to put Li Heng to death, so they naturally didn't want any variables to appear halfway, and after waiting for a while, they tried all kinds of means. All of a sudden, the evidence that was originally "wiped out" scrambled to emerge again, as if the traces of the so-called "deliberate" removal of King Yue had resurfaced in the dark.

As a result, the palace that seemed to be slaughtered suddenly appeared again with soldiers who escaped death. It is said that he was almost burned to death that day, but fortunately he rolled down the mountain stream and was rescued by the monks of a nearby temple. This man was mostly disfigured and had difficulty in moving, but he did not hinder his speech, testifying that he could recognize the face of the man in the armor.

Then, the right-hand man who had followed Li Wei for nearly four years suddenly committed suicide, leaving a letter to identify Li Heng, the king of Yue, and Li Wei, the heir of Yue, who had secretly hidden armor and plotted against him. It is said that Li Wei quietly changed the armor of the Zhichong Mansion he was in, and after accumulating hundreds of them, Fang ordered people to transport them to the vicinity of Chang'an one after another. Because he was caught by Li Wei, he had to become the person who transported the armor into the palace, and he was extremely panicked. I really didn't want to harm my family, so I couldn't stand the burden and committed suicide.

After hearing these so-called "evidence", Li Hui and Princess Changning were depressed for several days. And Li Wei, the heir of Pu Wang, who was tried again, was completely stunned, except for shaking his head and denying it, he couldn't say anything else. When he returned to the side hall under house arrest that day, he fell ill. The disease was menacing, and it took a month to get better. When Li Hui went to visit him again, his whole body became silent, covered with dark clouds, his eyes were blank, and he seemed to be stimulated a lot.

Although Li Wei fell ill, King Jing and Xu Ye were not able to interrogate him again. But along the line of Zhichong Mansion, several "people from Yuewangfu" were caught one after another. These people may not be the soldiers under Li Wei's command, nor are they the servants of the Yue Wangfu, nor are they the servants he hired in the Zhichong Mansion. But they all had some relationship with Li Wei and the Yue Palace, and they were identified by the surviving soldiers in the palace one by one. Needless to say, they naturally confirmed the charge of raising soldiers privately in the Yue Wangfu and smuggling armor in secret.

At this moment, the kidnapped king of the county also came with news. Some hunters found him seriously injured and unconscious near the Qinling Mountains, and because they didn't know his identity, they carried him home for treatment. He was well-dressed, obviously with a valuable status, and Orion did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported it to Li Zheng. After Li Zheng reported it layer by layer, the local officials were busy trying to bring this suspected nobleman into the county seat for treatment.

However, at this time, the best opportunity for rescue had already been missed, and there were no skilled doctors in the county. The king of the county returned to the government after only a day or two, and then passed away, and he never came to his senses. And when he was embellished, Fang You's attendants found that he had left two lines of blood on his body, accusing Li Henghu, the king of Yue, of poisoning his son. As for the robbers who killed and injured him, they were long gone.

When Jian Guogong Xu Ye said this during the trial, Li Heng, Li Wei and Li Jing, father and son, were all shocked.

Li Wei and Li Jing originally had some hope left in their hearts, thinking that the King of Guizheng County might not be in the same league as the King of Langling County, as long as he was found, he might be able to testify for them. I didn't expect to hear the news of his death now, and I didn't know whether to be sad or hateful for a while - he actually bit his father back before he died!!

And Li Heng was in tears, crying silently for a while. As far as he is concerned, it is better to believe that the king of Guizheng County is not aware of the unfilial behavior of the king of Langling County, and he does not believe that his two sons are traitors. Moreover, why did the king of the returned county pay with his life to fulfill the lie of the king of Langling County? It's not good for him. No, he was just taken advantage of, and then his life was lost.

Even if he takes a step back, the king of Guizheng County does have the intention of framing his father and brother, and he will not choose to give up his life. But the eldest princess of Anxing and the king of Langling County killed him without hesitation, which was really vicious. Whether he died innocently or not, the pain of losing a son is real for a father.

Li Hui, who was watching the trial, almost immediately set his cold gaze on the king of Langling County. I saw him pounce on the bloody letter cut from the corner of his sleeve, and howled: "This ...... This is indeed Brother's handwriting!! Brother! Brother! Why did you go so young?! Brother! You died so miserably!! ”

Xu was too sad, and the king of Langling County actually fainted from crying. The saint looked at him faintly and said nothing. King Jing and Jian Guogong, who presided over the interrogation, glanced at each other, pretended not to see him, and continued the interrogation. The king of Langling County lay on the ground for an afternoon, and was carried out by the palace people at the end of the trial. Li Hui keenly noticed that when he was lifted, his hands and feet moved slightly......

Of course, everyone didn't care whether King Langling really fainted or faked it. King Peng almost couldn't wait to say: "Sage, now the evidence is conclusive, Li Heng, the king of Yue, and Li Wei, the heir of the king of Yue, intend to rebel, and they must be sentenced in accordance with the law, otherwise they will not be able to deter the rebels!" ”

When he mentioned the word "traitor", Li Hui looked at him without a trace, and said in his heart: The living traitor is in front of him, but there is nothing he can do about it - knowing that this case is framed by these traitors, but he wants to deal with the innocent people who have been framed, which is really an excellent irony.

The saint seemed to be very embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Retry the case again." I never believe that the second brother would rebel. There must be some loophole in this. Uncle, Xu Aiqing, you look carefully, but there are other evidence and witnesses!! This case is indeed a serious matter, so there is no room for negligence!! I could not accept that my second brother had suffered any grievances. ”

King Jing and Xu Ye stood up to receive the decree, but King Peng still refused to give up and continued to persuade: "The evidence is so complete, why should the saint deceive himself? The ministers all know that the saint has always been gentle and soft-hearted, but in the face of such a thing, he must not be kind to a woman! Otherwise, there will be endless disasters!! The saint listened to the minister's words and immediately closed the case! In addition, since this case is definitely a major case of rebellion, there is no need to hide it because of the fear of the reputation of our royal clan, and it must be known to all the ministers in the court. ”

"I already have an opinion, Uncle Peng doesn't need to persuade him anymore." The attitude of the saint was very firm.

Of course, King Peng would not stop there, and privately sought out King Lu and King Jing to persuade them to give advice. Needless to say, the eldest princess of Anxing failed to unite several eldest princesses, so she handed over the post alone, demanding that Li Heng, the king of Yue, and Li Wei, the heir of Yue, be punished in accordance with the law. Their goal was to overthrow the Yue Palace, and Li Heng could not stay, nor could his eldest son Li Wei. As for Li Jing, the king of Tianshui County, he has always been unbearable, and he is not afraid.

Li Hui returned to King Pu's Mansion with an unusually heavy heart. After Wang Zixian learned of the progress of the case, he only accompanied him silently. Now they have done what they should have done, and they have done what they shouldn't have done, just waiting for those people to be willing to act in time. They weren't worried about the effect of the shot. If these people together cannot persuade the saints, it means that they have always underestimated the suspicions of the saints, and they must be more cautious in the future.

In addition, the Wang sisters and He Cheng were finally able to return home, but their knowledge was very limited, and they could not find any trace of the group of big men. And although the two sisters were placed under house arrest not in Zongzheng Temple because of their special status, but in the annex of Jingwangfu, they were frightened in the end, and they both fell ill after returning home.

Li Hui and Wang Zixian were a little disappointed, but they did not give up continuing to collect relevant evidence. Maybe one day, these bits and pieces of news can be strung together and become the key evidence for the rehabilitation of the Yue Wangfu and even the mastermind behind the scenes.

That night, Qin An, the Duke of Wu, quietly entered the palace to meet the saint. No one knows what this long-lost uncle said to the saint, except that they talked in secret for two hours. When Qin An took advantage of the night to leave the palace and return home, the sage pondered for a moment and went to the side hall where Li Heng was under house arrest.

At this time, Li Heng, the king of Yue, did not go to bed, and still came to welcome the saint in a neat and tidy manner. Xu was hit hard by the news of the death of the king of Gui Zhengjun, and his spirit seemed to be still a little sluggish. However, when he met the saint, he was as calm as usual, and there was nothing wrong with the etiquette.

The saint personally stepped forward and wanted to help him up: "Second brother doesn't need to be polite. ”

Li Heng insisted on kneeling, and in front of all the people who served, he kowtowed: "The criminal ministers are not strict with their children, which disgraces the royal family and makes His Majesty embarrassed." Your Majesty, since those traitors have set a trap and the criminal's family has all folded in, please give the criminals a death!! ”

The saint was suddenly shocked, and actually knelt down in front of him, and said with tears in his eyes: "I know that the second brother is innocent, how can I be so ruthless? Even if the second brother is really a thought, the friendship between our brothers over the years is not false!! ”

The two brothers cried opposite each other, and cried for half an hour before they lay down together, holding a deep brotherly love.

However, when this news reached the ears of Princess An Xing and King Peng, who were plotting, she smiled coldly: "Li Heng took the initiative to ask for death, but he is really considerate. Now, we saints don't know how happy they are. Oh, the three brothers are all raccoon dogs, heartless and ruthless monsters! ”

King Peng glanced at her, but he didn't know what he thought, and he stroked his beard silently.

If the deposed prince Li Song, the king of Pu Li Tai, and the saint are all monsters, then what is this noble lord who wants to get rid of all his brothers? A monster within a monster?
