Chapter 499: Spare Chess Pieces
At the moment when Li Shimin muttered to himself and hesitated in his heart, a group of students had already come to a stop in front of Li Shimin.
"Holy." All the students knelt on the ground in unison, lowered their heads respectfully to the ground, and then unanimously shouted, "The students are guilty, please punish the saints!" ”
"Please be punished!"
"Please be punished!"
……
One after another, the voices of guilt came out one after another, and they resounded throughout the air in an instant.
Not only Li Shimin, but even the rest of the hundreds of officials and ministers, and even the surrounding people, saw the scene where the students of the academy suddenly knelt down and asked Li Shimin for their guilt, and they were all stunned on the spot.
Like stone carvings, I can't be dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand at all what this was doing.
And along with Li Yi, Luo Tong and Cheng Chumo, who came out of the academy, also looked at the kneeling students with doubts.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, Brother Bo'an, what the hell are you doing?" Cheng Chumo looked at Li Yi suspiciously.
Just now, wasn't it still doing exercises?
The Bo'an brothers also praised them.
But at this moment, they are ...... Which one are you going to make a fuss about?
Cheng Chumo couldn't understand it at all.
Luo Tong was also puzzled.
"I don't know about this!" Li Yi smiled bitterly, spread his hands, glanced at Cheng Chumo and retracted his gaze, and then said lightly, "Maybe...... These children, not satisfied with their behavior just now! ”
"......" Cheng Chumo's face turned dark, and he glanced at Li Yi.
Is this not satisfied with their behavior just now?
They have already taken the initiative to start pleading guilty in front of the saints, okay...
You are really stupid when I am Cheng Chumo......
Cheng Chumo didn't want to complain about Li Yi anymore.
However, he also knew that since Li Yi didn't want to say it, he deliberately interrupted him, and he couldn't ask for a reason.
Simply, I might as well keep silent and look carefully for a while, and then I can know the reason.
Li Yi saw that Cheng Chu was silent and didn't ask, so he shook his head and smiled, and looked over.
I saw that not far away, after a group of students pleaded guilty like this, Li Shimin, who was a little stunned just now, had already come back to his senses.
"Get up." Li Shimin waved his hand suspiciously, motioned for the students to get up, blinked his eyes and said, "What are you guilty of?" In this exercise, it's just a matter of becoming a captive, just practice diligently next time, don't blame yourself too much! ”
Li Shimin is a very smart person.
When the students made such a fuss, he did not immediately express the curiosity in his heart, but took the opportunity to comfort the students.
In fact, he also guessed.
Estimate...... This group of students came to ask him for guilt, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with Xiang Wuji's poisoning in the academy.
But a wise monarch is like that.
No matter what you do, you only see through it and don't break it.
It is better to let the civil and military officials, and let the people around them, after hearing their testimony, be more convincing, and he can be more deterrent when he handles things, and have more benefits for the monarch and the ministers to work together.
In this way, once their words are conclusive and the evidence is sufficient, even if the murderer wants to quibble, he is powerless.
In the future, it will become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats.
This can make Li Shimin get twice the result with half the effort!
Li Yi, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but sigh when he saw all this Li Shimin do.
"The Emperor's Technique, it really doesn't see the bottom!"
The officials of the Lu family not far away, Lu Qinghai among them, were also stunned after seeing this scene.
I couldn't help but start trembling slightly.
"Could it be...... Are they going to mutiny? ”
"Could it be...... Will they ignore their parents, their brothers and sisters? ”
"No, no......"
"Definitely not!"
Lu Qinghai shook his head vigorously.
He didn't believe that this group of poor students, who were as timid as rats and would be scared to pee at the slightest intimidation, would be able to tell the world about it regardless of the safety of their families.
But the world is unpredictable.
It's always that the more you are afraid of something, the more you come.
I saw that the students kneeling on the ground, under Li Shimin's instructions, suddenly raised their heads, and when they looked at each other, one of the students had already taken the lead in opening their mouths.
There was a tone of self-reproach in his voice.
"Holy Lord, the grass people are guilty, it is not that they were caught in the exercise and became guilty for the sake of being captured, but that the students were threatened and deceived before, and the students were poisoned and murdered in the academy, which almost caused a big mistake, please punish the saint!"
Seeing this, the other student was greatly encouraged, so he immediately followed suit: "The saint, the grass people and others almost caused a catastrophe before, and please punish the saint!" ”
"The Holy Lord, the grass people and others, although they were coerced and intimidated by others, but the grass people and others compromised with others in private, and even brought poison to the academy, but they did not inform the prince of the matter, the princess, or others, it is already an unforgivable sin, and please punish the saint!"
"Please be punished!"
The voices of reproach sounded from the mouths of the students again.
For a while, in the air at the entrance of the entire academy, there were only these few students' reprimands, and even the sound of everyone's breathing couldn't help but become a temporary pause.
Other than that, no other sounds can be heard.
The air was so quiet that it was audible to hear a pin.
Half a day.
One after another, the sounds of surprise came from the mouths of hundreds of officials and the mouths of the people, and suddenly spread open, shaking around the air, and they couldn't stop for a long time:
"This ...... What's going on? ”
"It's just these students, how dare they poison the academy?"
"Don't talk nonsense, didn't you just hear that? These children have made it clear that they are all threatened and coerced! And now, they have taken the initiative to admit their mistakes in front of the saints, and it seems that they ...... It didn't happen that the students were poisoned! ”
"But what shameless bastard is the person who threatens them?"
"That's right, it's too damn shameless! To persecute these students, to make them do such unconscionable and sinister things? ”
"Such a despicable villain, don't let Lao Tzu know, if you let Lao Tzu know, Lao Tzu will definitely cut him with a thousand knives and divide his body!"
"Yes, such a villain should be punished!"
"Be punished!"
"Be punished!"
"Be ......"
The people under the sound were full of hatred and shouting.
The officials and the crowd were even more puzzled.
The eyebrows are incredible.
"This ......"
"Isn't it possible that what these students did was the same as that Xiang Wuji, who was forced by others to poison and murder everyone in the academy, right?"
"It's very likely!"
"In this way, Li Bo'an's drill today is only afraid of ...... It's that he has planned it a long time ago, just to lure out the real culprit behind the scenes! ”
"Li Bo'an, this kid, is really hard to learn!"
"Yes, Li Bo'an's move can not only benefit the students of the academy, but also catch the real culprit, which can be described as a plan to kill two birds with one stone, wonderful! Wonderful! ”
"Li Bo'an, this kid, is really amazing!"
After hearing this, the officials were much more rational than the people.
However, looking at Li Yi's expression, they became very vigilant one by one, and many of them were thoughtful.
They had to take a fresh look at Li Bo'an.
This son is not simple!
And the Lu family, when they heard the words of the students surrendering, they subconsciously tightened up one by one.
They all knew about the poisoning.
even sent Lu Qinghai to do this.
It's just that they never thought that this extremely secret thing would be messed up!
Not only was Xiang Wuji arrested first, but even these students in the academy, at this moment, began to confide in Li Shimin one by one.
Their Lu family is very dangerous right now!
'What to do?' ’
'Now, do we want to hand over Lu Qinghai?' ’
'I'm afraid, even if we hand over Lu Qinghai now, it will be difficult to calm everyone's anger, Li Bo'an, this kid, has a double reed play with the saint! ’
'Let's calm down and adapt to everything!' ’
'Good! ’
Secretly, one by one, the officials of the Lu family reached a unanimous agreement.
Lu Qinghai understood the eyes of the Lu family in seconds.
This matter definitely needs a person to take the blame.
He Lu Qinghai must take the blame!
Otherwise, their entire Lu family clan is very likely to be removed from the Tang Dynasty from now on!
However, while the Lu family clan was secretly discussing, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the students, and asked loudly: "You said that you were coerced and asked to poison you in the academy?" ”
This inquiring voice immediately broke all the noise.
All the officials and the people looked at Li Shimin and the students.
"Exactly, Holy One." The students did not hesitate, and immediately responded with fists, and from the faces of all of them, there was no trace of falsehood and hesitation.
"What about you...... Who is being coerced? After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin asked them again.
But all the students immediately tightened.
Their gazes, almost subconsciously, looked towards the people of the Lu family, and stayed on Lu Qinghai for most of a moment, and then they shrunk their necks one by one, and said with a bitter face: "Holy Lord, grass people...... Grass Folk ...... No...... I dare not say..."
"Huh?" For a while, not only Li Shimin, but also the looks of the students, even the civil and military officials also looked at the past.
The people around also followed the 'brush' to watch.
Countless eyes fell on Lu Qinghai's body, like the tip of a sharp knife, stabbing Lu Qinghai's face fiercely.
Not only Lu Qinghai's face was flushed, but even the other officials of the Lu family who knew about it were also very uncomfortable.
"You...... Look at me...... Why? Lu Qinghai stammered hesitantly.
However, in response to him, there were sneering and smiling faces.
"Hehe, Lu Qinghai, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, why are you afraid of being stared at by us?" Cheng Zhijie took the lead and said with a sneer, "Look at your fearful look, this matter is ...... You coerced them into doing it, right? ”
"Yes, the old man looks the same!" Another official immediately echoed, "If anyone doesn't know, unless they do it themselves, look at your worried and scared look, isn't it who you are?" ”
"Hehe, don't say something inappropriate!" Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and squinted, laughed and said, "You see, Lu Qinghai is not the only one who is full of fear at this moment. The faces of the Lu family officials beside him looked like ...... It's all bad at the moment, this is frightened, right? ”
"Oh? Sure enough, as the auxiliary machine said! The official grinned and blinked, as if he was muttering to the eldest grandson Wuji, "Could it be that they are all real murderers?" Otherwise, how could you be scared like this? ”
"It's very likely!" Fang Xuanling also nodded.
For a while, in addition to them, they began to talk and laugh, and the rest of the officials and the rest of the people were talking, as well as the objects of suspicion, also looked at the Lu family.
The Lu family only felt that at this moment, they had become the first object of everyone's suspicion.
Even the students haven't even said who instructed it!
Seeing this, if they were silent and didn't resist at all, would it be terrible?
That's obviously a fact that is confirmed!
As a result, among the officials of the Lu family, some people immediately began to refute.
"Nonsense!" I saw one of the Lu family officials, and he scolded on the spot, "My Lu family, not only a courtier, but also a big family, how could I do such a despicable and shameless thing?" ”
"Exactly!" As soon as someone began to defend themselves, the officials of the Lu family immediately followed suit.
For a while, the voices of the Lu family were mixed with the voices of the hundreds of officials.
The entire entrance of the academy was plunged into chaos and hustle and bustle.
The noise of chaos continues.
"Silence!" After a while, Li Shimin's expression suddenly froze, and the father-in-law Gao, who came out with Li Shimin, immediately raised his voice and screamed after understanding Li Shimin's expression, which made the audience quiet.
The discussion was also immediately abrupt.
Everyone, all of them clenched their fists and lowered their bodies, looking at Li Shimin, whose face was not angry.
At this time, Li Shimin looked at the students and said lightly: "You don't have to be afraid, I am here, tell me what you know, I will never let go of a bad person, nor will I wronged a good person!" ”
The students looked at each other before they nodded to each other, "Yes, Holy Lord!" ”
That's when they began to explain.
It turned out that these people didn't know Xiang Wuji before.
And in this matter, Lu Qinghai specially found them.
If they don't do what Lu Qinghai says, then their parents and sisters will be arrested and sent to a brothel, and those who are turtle slaves will be turtle slaves, and those who are prostitutes will be prostitutes.
Even Xiang Wuji didn't know about this.
They are spare pawns.
The poison in their arms was also learned from Lu Qinghai.
After the explanation, all the students couldn't bow down for a moment, and even their heads hung down, full of chagrin.
Without Li Shimin's orders, they would not have gotten up!
Half an hour later.
Not only Li Shimin, but also the civil and military officials, and the people around them, listened to the students' stories, and their faces were grim, their eyes squinted fiercely, and they looked at the Lu family coldly.
The air was as cold as the snow in June......
