Wu Sansi anxiously paced back and forth in the study, Wu Jiang also knelt on the ground and trembled, but the servant who went to invite Xue Liang did not return for a long time, and did not see Xue Liang coming, Wu Sansi became more and more anxious, and paced to the door again, Wu Sansi opened the door and prepared to go to Xue Liang's room by himself, but as soon as the door opened, Xue Liang had already come to the door, Wu Sansi saw this, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Liang, and said anxiously: "Mr. is finally here, my nephew, who is not angry, has committed trouble again, and please teach me." Wu Sansi said as he pulled Xue Liang into the study.

Wu Sansi was about to tell Xue Liang about this matter in detail, but Xue Liang spoke first: "King Liang, don't panic, Xue already understands the ins and outs of this matter. Xue Liang looked around and saw that there was only Wu Jiang in the room except for King Liang, so he whispered to the two of them about the countermeasures.

Li Sanlang, who was guarding outside King Liang's mansion, waited for a long time, but still no one left the mansion. Chen Xuanli asked Li Sanlang in a low voice: "Li Sicheng, will we let people in again to spread the word or directly lead the troops in?" Li Saburo thought for a while and said, "No." The offender is Wujiang, but it is really unwise to lead troops to break into the Liang Wangfu at night, according to my opinion, you and I will enter the palace first, depending on the situation. Chen Xuanli arched his hand and replied: "Oh! ”

At this time, Li Ke happened to arrive in a horse-drawn carriage. Li Sanlang saw Li Ke and hurriedly asked, "How is the matter?" Li Ke pointed to Wufu in the car and said: "This is the housekeeper of the Wufu, who was arrested by me on the spot when he was about to transfer the princess. Li Sanlang slapped his fist and said, "Okay! This time it's a stolen one! So he turned around and ordered: "All the soldiers listen to the order, follow me into the house to arrest Wujiang!" ”

"Whoa!" The crowd shouted. All the Yulin Army quickly began to act, pushed open the door of the Liang Wangfu and rushed in, Li Sanlang and Li Ke directly led the Yulin Army to the lobby. But when everyone arrived at the lobby, the scene was beyond Li Sanlang and Li Ke's expectations, only to see Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang were sipping tea in the lobby calmly, and they didn't seem panicked when they saw Yu Linjun, especially Wu Jiang, as if the matter had nothing to do with him. Seeing this, Li Ke's heart immediately swelled with an ominous premonition, did the two of them force their composure, or was there something strange about this matter? But it's not possible, it's clear that everyone has stolen goods, why can the two of them be so at ease?

Of course, Li Sanlang also noticed that something seemed to be wrong, but at this juncture, it was impossible for him to temporarily change his hexagram, so he said to Wu Sansi: "Dali Temple Qing Wujiang privately imprisoned Princess Khitan Azina, and now she has been seized by Long Ansi, and I am here to arrest her, please don't blame King Liang!" ”

Wu Sansi listened to Li Sanlang's words, but put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly, and said slowly: "This Long An Division is full of power, and everyone who is in the middle of the night can directly lead troops to break into my Liang Wang's mansion, it seems that my Liang King will be taken away by Long An Si is just around the corner." ”

Hearing Wu Sansi say this, Li Sanlang hurriedly bowed his hand and replied: "Please don't misunderstand King Liang, Long Ansi's trip is just to capture Wujiang, and it has nothing to do with King Liang's mansion, and I ask King Liang to take care of it." ”

Wu Sansi suddenly shouted: "You brought hundreds of Yulin troops directly into my Liang Wangfu in the middle of the night, and you said that it has nothing to do with my Liang Wangfu?" For the public, this Wujiang is also a member of the imperial court, and for the private part, he is also my nephew. Shall I allow you to take him away like this? ”

Li Sanlang replied: "Please King Liang to calm his anger, tonight's affairs are all official affairs, and the evidence is conclusive, and the law is really unforgivable!" Please also ask King Liang to make it convenient! ”

Wu Sansi sneered: "The law is not forgivable? Conclusive? In that case, such a great event, then I will accompany you to face the saint now. If Wujiang is really guilty, the state has national laws, and I will not show favoritism; If Wujiang is not guilty, today you and others will lead troops to break into the Liang Palace, and you must give me an explanation! ”

Li Sanlang quickly thought about the whole case in his mind from beginning to end at this moment, this Princess Azina was on the carriage outside the mansion, and there was her personal maid Duo Yu as evidence, no matter how Qi Wufu was, it could be regarded as a dirty person, the matter was clear, and there would be no variables, so he said: "I am willing to face the saint together!" I'm afraid that Your Majesty has already rested now, so it's better for us to detain Wujiang first, and go to court tomorrow morning... ”

Wu Sansi interrupted Li Sanlang and said, "Don't! I believe Your Majesty can understand such a big event. This Wu Jiang has not yet been convicted, how can you be allowed to detain it? I will report this holy matter, and you can follow me into the palace at this moment to face the saint. ”

As soon as Wu Sansi said this, Li Sanlang couldn't say anything, so he could only answer with one hand: "Then there is King Laoliang, we will enter the palace together at this moment!" With that, he turned around and waved his hand, leading the Yulin army to withdraw from the Liang Palace.

After Li Sanlang and Li Ke left the Liang Palace, they got into the carriage and looked at it, Wu Fu was still tightly tied in the carriage, the princess had not woken up yet, and Duo Yu was taking care of it. At this time, the two of them had a bottom in their hearts, so Li Sanlang asked the Yulin army to return to the camp first, and Li Ke and Chen Xuanli drove to the palace behind Wu Sansi and Wu Jiang's carriages. Along the way, Li Ke was worried, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong for a while, and it seemed that he could only take one step at a time.

Imperial Palace, Gathering Immortal Palace. When the crowd arrived, it was already a moment.

It's strange tonight, it's really difficult to meet the female emperor on weekdays, and you may not be able to see it after many reports, but even if it's late at night today, you can be summoned by the empress. Li Sanlang couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what is the reason for this?

Li Sanlang entered the Jixian Hall with Wu Sansi, Wu Jiang, Li Ke, Chen Xuanli and other five people, only to see the female emperor sitting on the dragon chair, showing a majestic face, it seems that everyone did not sleep before entering the palace, after the five people entered the palace, they hurriedly bowed to the female emperor. At this time, there were two people standing in the palace, one of them was the princess of Taiping, there was a woman beside her, with a high nose, deep sunken eyes, thin cheeks, dressed in Khitan clothes, presumably a foreign woman, but I don't know why she appeared here at this moment.

Seeing this, Li Sanlang immediately understood that it turned out that the female emperor had not gone to bed late at night because Princess Taiping was here, so Li Sanlang shouted in a low voice: "Aunt! Princess Taiping didn't seem to hear it, and she didn't pay attention to it.

The female emperor opened her mouth and asked: "The Qing family entered the palace late at night to see me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Wu Sansi was the first to answer: "Back to Your Majesty, this Long Ansi led the Yulin army to surround and break into my Liang Wangfu at night, wanting to forcibly detain Wujiang, the secretary of Dali Temple, and the ministers and others came to face the saint and seek justice. ”

The female emperor was stunned when she heard this, and asked again: "Li Sanlang, is there such a thing?" ”

Seeing that Wu Sansi took the words out of context and accused Long Ansi in turn, Li Sanlang hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, tonight's incident has a reason. We led the Yulin army to arrest Wujiang, all because Wujiang privately imprisoned the Khitan princess Azina and wanted to do wrongdoing. As for what King Liang said, Long Ansi's encirclement and direct entry into King Liang's mansion were all because King Liang had not handed over people for a long time, and the ministers had no choice but to do it. ”

The female emperor listened to it and was silent for a long time, this Li Sanlang knelt on the ground and began to be inexplicably nervous, but he didn't dare to raise his head, and after a long time, the female emperor finally spoke: "You said that Wujiang imprisoned the Khitan princess Azina privately, is there any evidence?" ”

When the female emperor finally spoke, Li Sanlang also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is a witness, Princess Azina's personal maid Duo Yu can testify." ”

"Where is this woman?" The Empress asked.

"Waiting outside the temple now!" Li Saburo replied.

"Xuan!"

Na Duo Yu lowered her head and slowly entered the hall, and then knelt down and said: "Long live the empress, long live, long live, the slave is Princess Azina's personal maid Duo Yu." ”

"Duoyu!" The woman from the outer domain beside Princess Taiping suddenly shouted loudly.

Duo Yu heard someone calling him, so he looked up, cried with joy for a while, and shouted loudly: "Princess! ”

Princess? When Duo Yu shouted like this, Li Sanlang, Li Ke, and Chen Xuanli were all shocked in their hearts, what is going on? If the person in front of her is Princess Arzina, who is the woman in the carriage?

Li Ke recovered from his surprise, so he put his hand on Duo Yu's shoulder and asked, "Duo Yu, what did you say?" Is this a princess? Who was the woman in the carriage? ”

Duo Yu didn't answer, but shrank up, quickly stood up, got up and ran to Princess Azina, pointed at Li Ke and said, "Princess, is this person who kidnapped us on the road?" I have been hiding from him just to save my life and expose him in front of everyone. ”

In the face of the sudden change, Li Sanlang and Chen Xuanli were shocked and speechless for a while. Li Ke was even more shocked, and hurriedly said, "Duoyu, what are you talking about?" ”

Duo Yu cried at this time, and said to the princess: "Princess, Ruma was drugged by them, and now she is still in the carriage?" ”

Without waiting for the princess to speak, the female emperor said sharply: "Xuan! Bring the woman in the carriage to the temple! ”

Seeing that things had changed so much, Li Sanlang was just about to speak, but the female emperor said sharply again: "Don't say anything first, bring someone up and ask again." Li Sanlang could only shut up after hearing this, and secretly glanced at Li Ke, he knew in his heart that tonight's incident must be not good, and he must have been tricked.

After a while, the woman was carried up, and the eunuch sniffed the woman's mouth and nose with a medicine jar, and the woman woke up, she rubbed her eyes, looked around, until she saw the princess and Duoyu, and shouted weakly but excitedly: "Princess, Duoyu." So she stood up and slowly came to the princess, and at this moment she turned back and saw Li Ke, and for a moment she could not control it, let out an exclamation, pointed at Li Ke and said, "It is him, it is he who has kidnapped us!" ”

Li Ke didn't know what to say in the face of the sudden accusation? He was trying to figure out what was wrong, and he was now deeply aware that he had been framed by someone else. Li Sanlang and Chen Xuanli couldn't believe what they saw, so they could only quietly watch the development of the situation.

Princess Taiping, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and she asked Li Ke, "Captain Li, what else do you have to say now?" ”

Li Ke immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please bring Wu Fu, the steward of the Wujiang family, to the palace for questioning." ”

Without waiting for the female emperor to speak, Princess Taiping said coldly: "Okay! Take Wufu to the temple for questioning. ”

After a while, a little eunuch anxiously entered the hall, knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Princess, Wufu outside the palace is dead... He's dead. ”

What the? Wu Fu is dead? Li Sanlang, Li Ke, and Chen Xuanli were all shocked! Li Ke immediately got up and grabbed the little eunuch and asked loudly, "How did you die?" ”

The little eunuch was taken aback and said in fear, "No... I don't know, it's ... Dead, I went to call him, but ... But it's already out of breath! ”

Without waiting for Li Ke to speak again, Princess Taiping said loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter is clear, the murderer Li Ke killed people and exonerated himself!" ”

Princess Taiping finished speaking, and the female emperor immediately said loudly: "Someone! Take down the culprit Li Ke! ”
