Chapter 166: The Truth
Li Xia smiled slightly: "I didn't expect Lord Lu to take me seriously. But I promised Sui'er that I would never kill anyone again, which was a bit difficult for me. ”
Yang Zhen's face changed greatly at this moment, he didn't expect this to happen, and he didn't bring the personal soldiers that Ting Wei had equipped him, now that Li Xia was in danger, his heart began to pound, he glanced at Li He, and saw that he was calm and calm, and he had no fear at all.
The people who were worshipping in the mourning hall also rushed over when they heard the voice, and the whole hall was stunned with fright, and one of them stood up and said, "Lu Lin, are you crazy?" ”。
Lu Lin sneered: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Lu Lin, am in charge of the security of Gyeonggi, this person is a rebel, I will catch the thief, why should you be surprised, when I catch him, I will tell you." As he spoke, he looked left and right and shouted, "Don't do it yet, what are you stunned about?" ”
"Whoa!"
"Slow!" Yang Zhen stood up, Li Xia was taken aback, and was about to let him hide, everything was taken care of by himself, even if something happened to him, he could also ask the location of Zheng's "Smoke Pavilion". But he didn't even care about coming out, didn't he want something bad?
Yang Zhen knew that if he didn't come out at this moment, Li Xia would be besieged, and a big battle was inevitable, no matter what the result was, it was not something he was happy to see. The emperor gave him a mission, but he didn't let him cause a big disaster. Besides, Li Xia already had a life-saving grace for him, how could he be in danger again, so he didn't care about anything else and stepped forward.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Yang? Lu Lin is polite, I don't know what the adults have to say? ”
"It's not good to see the teaching!" Yang Zhen's hungry wolf-like gaze shot at Lu Lin, and Gege smiled: "The chest is right." Eyes flirting; If the chest is not right, the eyes will be squinting. Lieutenant Lu Lin, Yang Zhen asked. How did you come to know the word "Smoke Pavilion"? The assassination of Xia Guan last night, can it have anything to do with you? Are you the murderer behind the scenes! ”
His words were pressing, and Lu Lin retreated again and again in a panic. I only heard Yang Zhen say again: "People commit the circumvention of the criminal law, this is a common trick, but it is so cunning, it is really unexpected." If you turn yourself in now, I will do it as if you were surrendering. Otherwise. If you follow the laws of the country, you may not have a physiology. ”
"Hahaha!" Lu Lin laughed wildly, "Lord Yang." What evidence do you have? I know that it is not strange that the Yan Pavilion is not surprising, since I am in charge of the security of the capital, there are naturally my people everywhere. What I want to know, just see if I want to. As for the murderer. Where is the murderer? Where is the murderer? He opened his hands. Laughing, it seemed that it had nothing to do with the matter, but everyone could see that he was covering up.
"This is what you should look for, didn't Lord Yang be ordered by the emperor to investigate this case? So what are you waiting for? Go check it out! He shouted arrogantly, and everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
Yang Zhen ignored him and walked towards the Zheng family and said, "Mrs. Sister-in-law, do you know about the Yan Pavilion?" ”
"Smoke Pavilion?" In fact, when Lu Lin asked her just now. Zheng was thinking about this, but she really didn't know. What is the Yan Pavilion, so he had to shake his head, "The concubine doesn't know where it is!" ”
Yang Zhen looked at it, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do, and at this moment, a childish voice said: "I know where the Yan Pavilion is!" ”
Everyone was stunned and looked in that direction, and saw Su Youfang's youngest son, Su Zhengtai, looking at everyone with big eyes without fear.
Yang Zhen was overjoyed, walked over, stroked his head and said, "Child, you say, I am the one who avenges your father." ”
Su Zhengtai nodded and said loudly: "One family is benevolent, one country is benevolent; One family, one country; One man is greedy, and the other country is in turmoil. And so it is. This is said to be a matter of words, and one person determines the country. My father often taught me that my husband should distinguish between good and evil in the world, and I have long seen this person as cunning, his body is not right, and his heart is not right. I knew it, and I didn't tell him. But my husband was ordered by the emperor to avenge his father, and I should tell him the truth. The husband came over with his ear. ”
He was a little kid who insulted Lu Lin with the words in "University", making his face blue and red for a while, which was very strange. Seeing him tell Yang Zhen quietly, he was even more angry.
"Lord Yang, you have to let everyone know what this kid says. Otherwise, who can know if it's true or not? He saw Yang Zhen stand up and shouted loudly.
Yang Zhen glanced at him coldly and said, "Lord Lu, you want to know earlier, so that you can send someone to destroy the evidence in advance, right?" It's a pity it's late. ”
He walked up to Li Xia and said, "Brother Li, let's go." As he spoke, he took Li Xia's hand and walked outside.
Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect him to pull Li Xia, and in a panic, they forgot to stop him. Lu Lin roared: "Stop them!" The guards rushed up and stopped Yang Zhen and Li Xia again.
"Bold Lu Lin, do you think there is still a royal law in you?" Yang Zhen was furious and pointed at Lu Lindao.
"Wang Fa, it depends on who set it up. Here, I am the king! Lu Lin glanced at the two of them with great contempt.
Li He suddenly walked out at this time, and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, it's not good to make too much trouble at this time!" Lord Yang, this matter is not chaotic, but if it continues like this, it will become an unclear mess. Everyone has his own account, good and evil are rewarded, Lord Lu's sin has been confirmed, it is better to break it today. Go back and tear up all this mess! ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and saw countless soldiers suddenly coming in outside the door, all wearing armor, all of them fierce and vicious. Liu Qing was also wearing armor, holding a matching sword in his hand, strode in, and said: "I just heard that someone said that he is the king, I want to see who is so bold and dares to openly disobey orders!" ”
Everyone hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord Qinghe! ”
Lu Lin's face was gray, he knew that it was impossible to escape, and he wanted to resist to the death, so he bit it and said: "Lord Wang, the villain is not guilty, they have repeatedly forced each other to say this, it is not the fault of his subordinates!" ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, his men put away their knives and retreated. Li Xia retracted his vigilant posture, stood up straight, and hugged his fists at the prince of Qinghe, "Lord, thank you for rushing to the rescue!" ”
Liu Qing helped him up and said with a smile: "Master Li said that the case will be solved today, let me lead the troops to wait in ambush everywhere, it seems that he expected it well." ”
Everyone looked at Li He in surprise, but he smiled, waved his hand and said: "Xiaguan calculated a hexagram last night, whether it is a hexagram of Ji Tailai, you will know that there is no danger today, since there is nothing to do, go to the Yan Pavilion to get evidence!" ”
After everyone arrived, they knew that the Yan Pavilion was just a small temple, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty had monks to inherit Buddhism, because there were not many believers, and the incense was not prosperous, so few people knew here. I saw that the temple door said Qingfeng Temple, and when I walked in, the plaque on the east chamber was written with the word "Yan Pavilion". The people were overjoyed, and when they went in to check it, they saw a box placed on the tribute table, opened with a key, and inside was a thin roll of silk, on which were the names of the people involved, and an account.
The above is mainly the list and number of bribes given and accepted by officials under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, and Lu Lin is the person who accepts the most bribes in Beijing. The facts of the case have been revealed. Yang Zhen hurriedly wrote a recital, and immediately entered the palace to meet the emperor.
This is the second time he has met the emperor, and he still has a trace of apprehension in his heart. Li Xia followed him, this was also the second time he entered the palace, the first time was to send Sui'er to the palace, thinking about whether he could see Sui'er, so the two of them had their own thoughts, knelt down under the corridor, and waited for Liu Zhao's arrival.
Seeing Cai Lun coming, Li Xia called in a low voice. He and Cai Lun were old, when Cai Lun was making paper, he had his help, so Cai Lun was very happy when he saw him, and walked over and said: "Why did you enter the palace, is the case solved?" ”
Li Xia nodded and said, "Exactly, Cai Changshi, when will the emperor come?" ”
Cai Lun saw that the two of them were still kneeling and said: "Let's get up and wait first, the emperor is at the nobleman's place, and he was late for the review last night, and when he got off the court, he was very sleepy and just fell asleep." However, she replied to the nobleman, and she said let the two of you wait first! ”
Yang Zhen and Li Xia stood up and were talking, but they saw Zhao Yu coming with a food box, and seeing that Li Xia was very excited, he trotted over and called, "Brother Li!" Regardless of the difference between men and women, they held hands with him and looked at each other, with tears in their eyes.
Li Xia said: "The jade girl is still so beautiful, but she is a little thinner, isn't she eating well in the palace?" ”
Zhao Yu wiped away his tears and said: "What is not good to eat, it is because I was angry with that queen, I had a serious illness, and I was imprisoned again, so I naturally lost some weight." Brother Li misses you so much, saying that he is in the palace, but he can't see Brother Zuo, and he doesn't have any acquaintances, people here are very bullied, if it weren't for the emperor's favor Miss, I don't know how to live in this palace! Brother Li, how is Madame? How is my grandmother? How are everyone in the family? ”。
Li Xia patted her shoulder with a smile and said: "Miss enters the palace, with her talent and beauty, it is normal to be jealous, Miss is smart and extremely noble, she will turn evil into good fortune, you are by Miss's side, everything should be persuaded, for the sake of Miss." The family is fine, the old lady is in slightly poor health due to her old age, and the rest is fine. ”
Zhao Yu was still about to speak, Cai Lun said: "Miss Zhao Yu, it's inconvenient to talk in the palace, let's talk about it when we have a chance in the future, why did the nobles let you come?" ”。
Zhao Yucai remembered that he was still holding the food box, so he said: "Look at my memory, as soon as I saw Brother Li, I forgot everything, this was ordered by the noble lady, he said that it was cold outside, the two of you can go to the palace to rest, eat something, from the early dynasty to the present, you must have eaten nothing, beware of being hungry." ”
Yang Zhen hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Niangniang, we are not hungry." ”
Li Xia said: "I'm a little hungry, but did my mother cook it?" ”。
Zhao Yu said with a smile: "Knowing that it was Brother Li who came, Niangniang naturally cooked it herself." ”
Li Xia said with a smile: "In the past, I only ate the food cooked by my mother once, which was very delicious, and I have not forgotten it, and today it can be regarded as a blessing." Come on, Lord Yang, the craftsmanship of the noble lady is the best, isn't it a hard work to live up to the mother's hard work if you don't eat it? ”
Yang Zhen had no choice but to enter the hall with him and simply ate some. Then Li Xia talked to Cai Lun, waiting for Liu Zhao's summons, but this wait was an hour. (To be continued......)
