Chapter 123: Heated Arguments
Li An's straightforward criticism of several foreign ministers of the Dongnu Kingdom is a very unreasonable behavior, however, at this time, the situation is extremely critical, the soldiers and horses of the Dongnu Kingdom have surrounded them, and at this time, what kind of politeness is considered, it is the most important thing to suppress them with power first, besides, the soldiers and horses of the Dongnu Kingdom surrounded them without negotiation only on the basis of some superficial evidence, which in itself is also very unreasonable, which is disrespectful to the Tang Empire.
Several foreign ministers of the Eastern Women's Kingdom are all respected ministers, and Li An is just a low-ranking captain of the Tang Army, and he dares to speak to them like this, which makes the faces of several foreign ministers extremely ugly, and they all glared at Li An angrily.
Sixiang Zhao Hui's eyes rolled and asked: "Everything must be based on real evidence, Captain Li said that someone deliberately framed you, is there any evidence?" ”
Li An frowned: "Evidence? Our Tang army has strict military discipline and never humiliates the people, this is the evidence. ”
At this time, the situation is more critical, Li An must always remain tough, if he is weak, he will be suspected of being weak-hearted, which will make the Dongnu people think that this matter was done by Tang Jun, so the consequences are unimaginable.
And the reason why Li An dares to be so tough, one is that there is the support of the Tang Empire behind him, and the officials of the Eastern Women's Kingdom can't do anything to them, and the other is that he is absolutely confident in the truth, which is obviously framed by the enemy, and the Tang Army under his command has no such courage, he does not do bad things, and he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, how can Li An be afraid.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhao Hui's mouth: "What Captain Li said can also be counted as evidence?" ”
Li An smiled indifferently and looked at Zhao Hui: "Sixiang, just based on the items left at the scene, you believe that it was our Tang Jun who did it, which is too far-fetched!" ”
Zhao Hui smiled lightly: "Captain Li, not only the items left at the scene, but also many witnesses at the scene, they all said that they saw the soldiers of the Tang Army break into other people's homes, and then quickly fled after committing the murder, which is ironclad evidence, not a fabrication by us." ”
"The human evidence is here, what else does Captain Li have to say?"
Five-phase Zhao Wufu stared at Li An, although the hostility was less than a few days ago, but the anger was especially there.
As soon as they heard the evidence, Xi Yu and other Tang officials changed their faces, according to the current situation, the situation was very unfavorable to the Tang Mission, but they were helpless, they could only push Li An, who was much lower than them, to the forefront, who made Li An the supreme commander of the Tang Army's guards?
And Xi Yu had already prepared for the worst, once the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, he was ready to lead the Tang Dynasty mission, in accordance with the requirements of the military and civilians of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, to leave the Queen City first, so as to prevent further intensification of the conflict.
Of course, unlike the worries of Xi Yu and other officials, Ang Lee's expression was always full of confidence and relaxation, obviously he was framed, so what else is there to worry about?
"Hehe, there are still witnesses, that's good, the four phases can bring out all the witnesses, my Tang Army officers and soldiers are all in the camp, you can let your people and cards enter the camp, check them one by one, if you find the perpetrators of last night, immediately point them out, if the soldiers of our Tang Army really do bad things, I will never protect them."
Ang Lee's expression was very relaxed.
Zhao Hui was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know how to accept it, he did have a witness, but these witnesses only said that they saw a group of people in Tang Army uniform, committing murder and fleeing, but they couldn't recognize which Tang Army soldier it was, and they didn't dare to get too close, so they naturally couldn't identify the appearance of the murderer.
"In order to ensure their own safety, of course the witnesses did not dare to get too close, but they just looked out through the crack in the door, so naturally they could not see the face of the perpetrator, how could they identify this."
A tall foreign minister frowned.
Li An was stunned, from the figure of this foreign minister, it can be seen that he is a brave and warlike general, and from his official uniform, it can be seen that he is the foreign minister of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, that is, one of the five foreign ministers.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency?"
"The second phase Zhao Yafu is me."
Li An nodded lightly: "Oh, it turned out to be the second phase, disrespectful, disrespectful, dare to ask the second phase, since the witnesses did not see the true face of the perpetrator, how can it be sure that our Tang Army did it?" Besides, there are thousands of people in my Tang army, so how can I investigate? ”
"This ......"
Zhao Yafu frowned: "Judging from the current situation, there is indeed not enough evidence to prove that it must have been done by your Tang Army, but your suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest, because such a thing has never happened in our Dongnu Country, and after your Tang Army entered, such a thing occurred, so at least you can't get rid of suspicion." ”
Li An nodded approvingly, Zhao Yafu was right, no matter what, such a big thing happened in the Queen City, resulting in the death of nearly a hundred people, and there were indeed a lot of Tang Army items left at the scene, so the suspicion of the Tang Army soldiers is naturally the greatest, which no one can deny, of course, it is only a little suspicion.
"Second phase, can I ask you three questions?"
Zhao Yafu and Zhao Hui and Zhao Wufu beside him glanced at each other and nodded: "Okay, if Captain Li has any questions, just say it." ”
Li An smiled lightly: "First, this time there was a tragedy in which six families were slaughtered, and it was carried out in the middle of the night, which is enough to show that this is a long-planned conspiracy, not an accident, right." ”
"That's right, if it happened by chance, it would never happen six times in a row."
The second minister Zhao Yafu nodded yes, Zhao Wufu also nodded, Zhao Hui pursed his lips and said nothing, and the eldest minister Zhao Daiwen was even more expressionless, as if he hadn't heard it.
"Since this is a long-planned conspiracy, what reason does our Tang Army have to do this, and what good can we do to slaughter the ordinary people of Dongnu Country."
Li Anyi's rhetorical question.
Zhao Yafu and Zhao Wufu glanced at each other, and felt that what Li An said was reasonable, the people who were killed were extremely ordinary people, and the loss of these people did not have much impact on Dongnuguo, and it was indeed meaningless for Tang Jun to do this, and it would only put them in an extremely unfavorable situation.
Zhao Hui drooped his eyelids, and didn't quite agree with Ang Li's words, but it was not easy to refute, Zhao Daiwen still stood at the end, as if these things had nothing to do with him.
"Captain Li encountered assassins as soon as he entered the Queen City, and it is inevitable that the soldiers under his command will have resentment, so it is not impossible to slaughter the people to vent their anger."
A thin official of the Eastern Women's Kingdom said in a dark voice.
When Zhao Hui heard this, his brows stretched slightly, and he looked at Li An with a gloating look.
'Amazing, it seems that the officials of the Eastern Women's Kingdom are not all unscrupulous, but also have a talent for sophistry. ’
Li An secretly screamed, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.
"The second question, a large number of Tang Army equipment and items were found in the homes of the six slaughtered people, and the people nearby also saw a group of soldiers in Tang Army uniforms committing murder, if our soldiers are really resentful and want to vent, how can they be stupid to leave so much evidence, isn't this clear that they want others to find out? If they have no scruples, why should they run away? ”
Li An looked at the foreign ministers of the East Women's Country and said with a straight face.
"After committing the murder, it is inevitable that I will be nervous, so it is naturally easy to lose everything."
Zhao Hui said softly.
Li An grinned: "Weapons are life for soldiers, even if they are lost, it is impossible to drop the weapon, and it is the main battle weapon such as the horizontal knife, of course, it is impossible to lose so much." ”
All the officials of the Eastern Female Kingdom were powerless to refute, and most of them were blushing.
Li An continued: "The third question, the Queen City is the capital of the Eastern Women's Kingdom, and there are soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth at night, but these patrols and horses have not caught any of the murderers, which has to make me suspicious, and there may be something else hidden in this." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a strong reaction among the officials of the Dongnu Kingdom, what did Ang Lee mean by this? As long as you are not a fool and you can hear it, this is a hint that the people and horses on the night patrol of the East Female Country are in the same group as the murderers, if not, why can't so many soldiers patrolling the night not find the murderers in time, let alone catch any of the murderers?
Of course, even if these night watchmen are innocent, it is enough to show their incompetence, as night watchmen, they have the responsibility to protect the safety of the people in the city, and not only did they fail to protect the people, but also let the murderers easily escape, this ability is really shameful.
"Ebony, come out."
Zhao Wufu's face was extremely ugly, and his breath seemed a little disordered.
"Five phases."
Ebony lowered his head and his face was gray.
"Ebony, you were on duty last night, Captain Li suspects you of colluding with the murderer, what do you have to say."
"Wuxiang, how could I Ebony do such a thing, but since the murderer can avoid our army's patrol route, he must be very familiar with the terrain of the Queen City and the route of our army's patrol, otherwise, it will never be possible to do this."
Ebony swears.
Li An smiled faintly: "Everyone, General Ebony also said that the murderer must be someone who is extremely familiar with the terrain of the Queen City and the patrol route of soldiers and horses at night, and my Tang soldiers have only been in the Queen City for a long time, and they are very unfamiliar with these two. ”
"Yes! Oh, yes! From this point of view, the murderer must not be a soldier of the Tang Army. ”
"That's right, Tang Jun's trip is to make friends with my country, how can he do such a thing."
"The people who were destroyed were all ordinary people, who did it?"
The officials of the Eastern Women's Country discussed and expressed their opinions.
Zhao Daiwen, the prime minister who had been silent, walked over with a smile and said softly: "I don't believe that the Tang army soldiers will do such evil things, and this must be the case, but in order to make the people in the city feel at ease, I also ask the Tang army soldiers and horses to be temporarily stationed outside the city, so that once such a thing happens again in the city, no one will suspect you."
