Chapter 251: Framing
Mo Qi Shentong didn't dare to stay overnight because of his strict family style, so he went back to the concert hall early to accompany Guo Ren. Qingmo has been fighting repeatedly in the past few days, his body is tired, and he doesn't want to hinder Li Mao's eyes, so he left with his magical powers.
Li Mao finished tossing Xiaoru, he didn't feel tired at all, and he didn't feel a little sleepy, so he drank back again, Xiaoru was not strong enough to drink, and he had just endured the ravages of wind and rain, it was his muscles and bones that were soft, and he fell asleep while sitting.
Zheng Zhuzhu's two daughters saw that Li Mao was not happy, and they opened up a seat again, two fierce generals on the battlefield, and they had all kinds of means. How could he kill a thousand enemies and lose nine hundred and nine, Li Mao also felt that the sky was spinning, his eyes were full of stars, and he was rarely drunk.
Li Mao is not drunk easily, but when he is drunk, he has a hard time, tossing and turning until dawn before he sleeps soundly.
When I woke up, the sky was bright, the surroundings were quiet, and Xiaoru was gone.
It was expected that he was going to prepare breakfast for himself, Li Mao didn't think much about it, and sat in a daze, his head was still dizzy, and the acid water in his stomach was surging upward, and he was nauseous. He called for water to drink, and after calling several times and seeing no one, he got up and went out.
The winter sun is shining, and the piercing eyes hurt.
Li Mao was hangover and didn't wake up, his steps were staggering, his eyes were also hazy, and he was walking with a pillar of the porch, and an iron chain was volleying into the air, heading towards his neck. Li Mao heard the sound to distinguish the direction, and retreated.
After a hangover, his body was not as dexterous as before, and he actually hit his head on the pillar.
One chain went into the air, and the other slashed into the air, this time curling his feet naked. Li Mao jumped and slammed into the window, intending to use the strength of his back to break the window lattice and retreat into the house.
The opponent has already laid a net waiting for him, and he is afraid of suffering a loss in a head-on confrontation.
A crossbow bolt flew past his ear and was nailed to the load-bearing pillar under the eaves, humming.
The other party had a bow and crossbow, and Li Mao immediately gave up resistance.
Four iron chains soared into the air like a giant python, wrapping around his ankles and wrists respectively, and the strength was just right, and the comers were all masters.
The four big men each dragged one end of the iron chain, trying to pull Li Mao down, but found that they were pulling a rooted iron pillar, and they couldn't move at all. A group of armor soldiers then surrounded him, and dozens of iron guns densely formed a barrel array, trapping Li Mao.
A general came up and shouted, "Assistant." ”
Everyone stared with guns, still staring, and the archers in the distance were also waiting for them, and they did not let up in the slightest.
"You are Li Mao?"
"Who are you?"
"The free rider Li was assassinated last night, and there is your jade pendant at the scene of the murder, come with me to Shence Prison for a trip."
"Divine Prison, do you have an edict?"
There is a first-class legal department and prison in the Shence Army, which acts as a judicial agent in the army, and can also try cases involving officials when the edict is issued.
Li Mao and Li Fu are not in the Shence Army, and if there is no edict, the Shence Army has no right to intervene.
"Less nonsense, come with us!" The young general shouted viciously.
Li Mao judged the situation and decided to give in first, if he didn't leave, they would most likely kill him on the spot in the name of resisting arrest.
The Shence sergeant put Li Mao in full shackles, covered his head with a black hood, and hugged him out of Pingkangli.
At that time, the night-rich Pingkangli was still asleep at the moment, so it didn't alarm many people.
It was very cold outside, Li Mao's clothes were thin, and the cold wind was agitated, and he completely sobered up.
Lee is dead? He was fine last night, why did his kung fu life disappear in the blink of an eye?
Own jade pendant......
As a commonly used ornament for men, Li Mao's jade pendant is more of a high-quality color carved by famous craftsmen, and the big road goods on the street that have always cost two yuan, add up to more than ten or twenty yuan.
Li Yu was killed in the house, and his jade pendant was left at the scene, so it is needless to say that someone is framing him.
Although the kidnapping of Li is secretive, it is far from seamless. In addition to Lin Ying and Chen Yuan, there must be other people with bronze tiger heads in the Shangdu Jinyuan in Ziqing.
There are many factions in the copper tiger head, and it is difficult to say that his actions will not be leaked out.
Then Li Fu's death is very likely to be related to the copper tiger head, and it is very likely that Li Shidao killed Li Fu and framed himself.
This person has obviously lost its usefulness, and not only that, but it has also become a bane, and it is better to get rid of it once and for all. It was a big risk to assassinate a high-ranking official of the third rank in the capital city of Chang'an, especially a person with a special status like Li Fu. Of course, if you can splash dirty water on the opponent's body, it will be the best, not only to hide the truth and protect yourself, but also to pick up the rabbit by the way.
It's a very lucrative deal.
This logic is very resistant to scrutiny. Li Yu escaped death, he has become a frightened bird, except for the people on Li Shidao's side, who else can he trust, he will let a stranger enter his mansion in a grand manner, and talk to him?
In the legend, those master assassins who fly off the wall and kill people invisibly, they want fame and fortune, Li Shidao may be able to make money, but an idle official who sits and waits for death can't get into their eyes.
As for ordinary assassins, Zhang Zhi and Hao Jinzhong are not easy people, and they will not take it lightly if they eat a trench and grow wise.
Li Shidao kills people and blames the blame, this Li Mao is not surprised, he has this motive and this ability, what surprised him is that Li Shidao, who was pressed to death by Li Shigu in Ziqing, would have the ability to mobilize the Shence Army for his use!
Li Mao blamed himself a little, for his carelessness, and he was even more impressed by Li Shidao.
As soon as the group walked out of the north gate of Pingkangli, they were stopped by a team of red-jacketed sergeants, the Shence army's clothing was based on black, and the entire forbidden army was like this, and the soldiers in red jackets in Chang'an were only nominally subordinate to Jin Wuwei, and the Jingzhaoluo soldiers who were actually dispatched by Jingzhaofu.
"A certain person was ordered by Yin Da of Jingzhao Mansion to bring the suspect Li Mao to the court."
A green-robed civil official held a bamboo stick in the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion and asked for someone from the Shence Army.
"Joke, when will it be your Jingzhao Mansion's turn to take care of the affairs of the Divine Ce Army?"
"Li Fu and Li Mao are not Shence soldiers, if there is no edict, please ask the little general to release them."
"I was ordered to do an errand, but I can't obey my orders."
"Then offend."
The green-robed civil official raised the order with a gloomy face, and hundreds of soldiers hidden in the surrounding street corners hula-la-la-la, hanging swords from their waists, holding guns, stretching their bows and arrows, and swords rattling.
There were no more than thirty Shence soldiers, and they were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, and their expressions were a little frightened.
If the Shence soldiers suffered a loss, they called friends to openly attack the Jingzhao Luo military camp, shouting and shouting to kill, if the Jing Zhao Luo soldiers suffered a loss, but they did not dare to set foot in the Shen Ce military camp half a step, so Jing Zhao Luo soldiers hated the Shen Ce soldiers to the bone.
In order to appease the resentment of the Jingzhao soldiers, the palace specially issued a decree strictly prohibiting the Shence soldiers from storming the Jingzhao camp, and the Jingzhao soldiers placed the holy decree at the gate of the Yuan, and every time the Shence soldiers chased after them, they read out the holy decree once as a talisman.
Today, there are many people in Jingzhaoluo, if you take the opportunity to beat them violently, it will be a blank beating, and the Shence soldiers can't help but tremble. Some of them recognized that the green-robed civil official was Zhong Lian, the judicial officer of Jingzhao Mansion, and quietly reminded Li Hang, the captain of the unified army: "It's 'iron mask refining', it's not easy to mess with." ”
Li Hang naturally heard of Zhong Lian's name, and gasped, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he couldn't wipe his face.
Li Mao smiled on the horse: "They are all minions of the Son of Heaven, if you have something to say, don't hurt me because of me." ”
Zhong Lian and Li Hang each glanced at him, Li Mao was already drunk at the moment, and saw that Jingzhao Mansion and Shence Army were facing each other on the street, and when they saw that there was an opportunity, they deliberately made words to instigate.
Li Hang stubbornly raised the saber and shouted: "The military order is like a mountain, whoever dares to stand in the way will be killed." ”
The thirty sergeants roared in unison, and the swords were unsheathed together, and the momentum was majestic, and they were brave for themselves.
"If you are ordered to handle the case, whoever dares to resist arrest will be killed." Zhong Lian didn't give an inch.
Hundreds of soldiers roared in unison, one by one, ready to beat their old opponents and take revenge.
An early riser pushed a wheelbarrow to pass by, saw the confrontation between the two armies, did not feel trembling, was sticking to the edge of the ditch to rub forward, suddenly heard the roar again and again, nervous, spread his legs and ran forward, his heart was flustered, he stepped on the air carelessly, and with a belch, he even led the car into the ditch.
Jing Zhaoluo burst into laughter, and those who were close threw away their spears and rushed to save people.
This smile greatly eased the atmosphere. The sun is rising higher and higher, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street, Pingkangli is a place where the nine streams and three religions are mixed, and it is not a joke to see Jingzhao Mansion and Shence Army confronting each other on the street.
"If you want to take him away, you will give me a token as a basis." Li Hang proposed a compromise plan.
Zhong Lian threw the order sign in his hand to Li Hang, Li Hang glanced at Li Mao, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and separated the crowd and walked away. The thirty Shence soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and slipped away.
In the Nanfang Gate of Chongrenfang on the other street, Yin Li Shiwang, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, saw that his subordinate took Zhong Lian back to Li Mao, and breathed a long sigh of relief, while rubbing his heart, he said to the left and right: "It's terrible, it's terrible, Xiao Wang, this Jingzhao Yin can't do it anymore, it's too scary, it's scared to death." ”
Around the third watch last night, Chang'an County reported that Li Fu, a freelancer and a regular attendant, was assassinated at home, and his family found a jade pendant engraved with Li Mao's name at the scene of the murder.
As soon as Li Shi heard this, his head buzzed.
"This is an attempt to cover up, this is someone framing him."
After Li Shi dropped these two resounding words, he immediately sent someone to find Li Mao, and told him that he must bring people to Jingzhao Mansion.
It is true that Li Mao and Li have had a holiday, but this festival has been revealed. Li Mao gave him such a generous gift is proof, Li Shi believes that people's sincerity is directly proportional to the gift given, and the thicker the gift, the more sincere the heart.
Therefore, he decided that it would never be Li Mao who killed people. Besides, if Li Mao really wanted to kill Li Fu, how could he throw the jade pendant engraved with his name at the scene of the murder?
If it's a premeditated murder, then you shouldn't bring anything.
But Li Mao was not in the Academy, and Qingmo and Mo Qi knew where he was, but they didn't say anything because they misjudged the situation. After this delay, the Shence Army intervened.
Li Shi was shocked to learn that the Shence Army had arrested Li Mao in Pingkang, and he didn't know who the Shence Army was instructed to intervene in, but one thing he knew very well was that someone wanted to make a fuss about Li Miao's death.
These people's spearheads may be aimed at Li Mao, but if they don't do it well, they will affect themselves.
Li Shi sent Zhong Lian, the most effective cadre under his command, to rob people halfway, and Zhong Lian served as a four-sided envoy with the judicial participation of Jingzhao Mansion as a street envoy on all sides, and had the right to mobilize thousands of Jingzhao soldiers. This person is nicknamed "Iron Mask Lian", and he has always recognized the law and does not recognize people, and he is the most suitable person to do this kind of thankless work.
The Shence Army has no edict to arrest people, it is evil! Zhong Lian was ordered to handle the case, yes! Good and evil do not stand together, and evil does not prevail over good.
Zhong Lian lived up to his trust and brought Li Mao back to Jingzhao Mansion safely. Li Shi avoided it. There is no room for turning around at this point, so we can only play it truthfully and listen to the holy judgment.
The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and no one can say what the result of the judgment will be, Li Shi feels that he needs to avoid it first.
