Chapter 139: Qin Li, who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, is back

Qin Li, who fled without a trace, finally appeared.

During this time, Qin Li has been in extreme doubts and contradictions, and he always feels that these so-called secret agents of the Southern Tang Dynasty are fake.

However, when he was taken by these people to the Yangtze River, opposite Jinling, the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Qin Li finally realized that if he didn't do something, he would really become a traitor.

Therefore, Qin Li caught the only omission of these Southern Tang agents who protected him, and when they chose the inn, in order to be safe, the room they chose for Qin Li was the most remote one.

While sleeping at night, Qin Li escaped from the room, fled to the street, and knocked on the door of a rouge gouache shop.

When Kaifeng, Wei Zhongxian, who pretended to be Li Jinzhong, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty secret agent, once gave Qin Li some silver tickets, and Qin Li bought some items that could be used for disguise and changed his appearance.

Then, Qin Li returned to the inn in a grand manner, asked for an upper room for himself, and played with these Southern Tang spies in the dark.

Qin Li, who was hiding in the inn, had been paying close attention to these Southern Tang spies who were anxious to find him.

In the end, he found that these spies were divided into two groups, one group crossed the river to Jinling, and the other group returned to Kaifeng.

Qin Li has been following the group of secret agents who crossed the river not far away, but unfortunately, after crossing the river, these secret agents quickly scattered and disappeared.

After staying in Jinling for a month, Qin Li returned to Jiangbei again, trekking all the way, and finally returned to Kaifeng again.

After returning to Kaifeng, Qin Li found that there were notices posted on the street offering a reward for his arrest, accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and those who provided Qin Li's information or caught Qin Li could get a heavy reward, and it didn't matter whether they lived or died.

Sneaking back to his home, his home is still surrounded by officers and soldiers, which means that at least his family has not been co-located because of his escape for the time being.

Qin Li decided to take advantage of the rules in the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty that officials who blocked the road and shouted grievances must be accepted, at least to let the imperial court give him a chance to confess.

After several days of observation, Qin Li chose Zhao Kuangyin, who had not long returned to Beijing.

The matter of the little emperor Guo Zongxun's accession to the throne and Zhao Kuangyin's canonization by the emperor as the generalissimo of the Great Zhou Dynasty are already well known in Kaifeng.

Zhao Kuangyin was depressed, and he was also stunned when he saw a middle-aged man in civilian clothes suddenly rushing to his horse and shouting that he was wronged.

"Left and right, take him down, and wait for Ben Shuai to interrogate."

The soldiers on the left and right held Qin Li down, and Qin Li shouted:

"General Zhao, Marshal Zhao, Qin Li, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has a great grievance, and I ask Marshal Zhao to uphold justice for the lower officials."

Qin Li? Zhao Kuangyin didn't have much impression, when Qin Li was arrested, Zhao Kuangyin was leading the army to fight.

"Marshal, this person is the Qin Li who published a book and betrayed my Great Zhou military plane, saying that he escaped from prison a while ago, why did he come back?"

Zhao Pu hurriedly reminded on the side that during the time he came back, he had been collecting and sorting out the recent major events in Kaifeng with Shen Yilun, and wanted to find something that could be operated on to see if it could help Zhao Kuangyin.

"Oh, it turned out to be him, Qin Li, since you shouted in front of Ben Shuai's horse, according to the laws of the Great Zhou, Ben Shuai has the right and responsibility to try you, come and take Qin Li back to the barracks."

It is definitely inappropriate to bring it back to the Marshal's Palace, then it will become a private court, and it should be the safest to bring it back to the barracks.

"The marshal's words are wrong, according to the law of my Great Zhou, the subordinate officials block the road and shout grievances, and the marshal's responsibility and power is not to try the lower officials, but to take the lower officials' cases to understand the situation, and then transfer the lower officials to the division."

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Zhao Pu, he was not very familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou.

"Marshal, it is indeed as Qin Hanlin said, in front of the marshal, Qin Li is not a human prisoner."

Hearing Zhao Pu's words, Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said to Qin Li:

"Qin Li, then Ben Shuai will take you directly to the Criminal Department, when you get there, with Ben Shuai here, at least you can ensure that you finish what you want to say, and at least give you a chance to defend yourself."

"Thank you, Marshal......"

Qin Li returned to Jingdang Street to stop Zhao Kuangyin from shouting grievances, and it soon spread to Guo Zongxun.

"Wei Banban, you have done a very bad job in this matter, I am very passive now, and the most hateful thing is that I actually let Zhao Kuangyin know about this matter, you say, how should I punish you."

Guo Zongxun was indeed angry enough, for Qin Li, he originally still had the idea of making the best use of his talents, since this Qin Li could get almost all the military information of the Great Zhou as an editor of the Hanlin Academy, this shows that Qin Li is definitely a talent in this regard.

If it is used well, it is completely possible to train Qin Li to be an excellent spy, specializing in spying on enemy intelligence.

As a result, everyone knows now, and the worst thing is that Zhao Kuangyin also knows.

If such a person is rehabilitated through Zhao Kuangyin, once this person falls to Zhao Kuangyin, the consequences will ......

"The slave is guilty, please punish Your Majesty."

"What's the use of talking about this now, think about how to remedy this matter."

Wei Zhongxian knew that since the little emperor asked so, that is, he still didn't want to kill Qin Li in his heart, Qin Li didn't defect and dared to return to Kaifeng to shout grievances, this person still has merit.

"Your Majesty, Marshal Zhao has sent Qin Li to the Criminal Department, and Lord Ma, the servant of the Criminal Department, has accepted the case, and all the Jinyi guards who participated in this matter in Dongchang have been sent to Youzhou, and the minions feel that the current situation can still be taken advantage of."

Guo Zongxun pondered for a moment and said:

"Since this matter can't be covered, let's wait to see this Qin Li's confession first, send someone to keep an eye on it, I will get Qin Li's confession as soon as possible."

Guo Zongxun was very curious, where did he go during the time Qin Li was missing, what did he go to do, and why did he finally run back to Kaifeng to cry out for injustice?

In the lobby of the Criminal Department, when Qin Li wrote a book because he loved the military in order to promote the prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the books he wrote became a treasure book for the enemy country to understand the armaments of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he became a sinner who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and was rescued by the Southern Tang Dynasty spies after being put in prison...... and so on, all of which were explained one by one.

"Qin Li, since you have escaped, and even arrived in Jinling in the Southern Tang Dynasty, why did you run back again?"

Qin Li knelt in the lobby of the Criminal Department, without wearing a flail, and his face was very calm.

"Xiaguan knows that he is guilty, but in his heart, Xiaguan has never had the slightest idea of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

"Xiaguan was rescued by the Southern Tang Dynasty spies this time, and he was sincerely frightened along the way, thinking about Da Zhou, and he never had the slightest idea of defecting, the reason why he followed them to Jiangnan was that Xiaguan ......"

Speaking of this, Qin Li solemnly kowtowed to Zhao Kuangyin and Ma Yilin, who were listening:

"The lower official requests to retreat left and right, and the lower official has an important military report from the Southern Tang Dynasty......"
