Chapter 290: The Dog Jumps Over the Wall
Not long after the trial of the Yamen of the Dadu Governor's Mansion began, many gentry and ordinary people came to watch, and the Dadu Governor's Mansion gradually became more lively.
Guo Yuanzhen and some guards of the Three Swords Brigade were sent by Xue Shao to various important places, and after disguised and disguised, they lurked and secretly carried out secret missions of surveillance and protection. After all, this is someone else's territory, in case someone is really forced to be anxious, and a dog is in a hurry to mutiny and kill, then it will be a hero who has suffered a loss in front of him.
Guo Yuanzhen quietly approached Xue Shao's side in the crowd and whispered to him, "Mrs. Lu went to the back hall to meet Li Xiantong once before going to the court." ”
"Let her see." Xue Shao said decisively.
Guo Yuanzhen was stunned, "Not very good?" According to the rules, Li Xiantong is already a suspect now, and no one is allowed to see him before the court trial, let alone the first indicator and witness in this case, his original wife Lu? Aren't you afraid that the two of them will get away with it after colluding to confess? ”
"I still want to teach you this kind of trivial matter, I think you are going back more and more as you live!" Xue Shao hated a little that iron could not become steel, and scolded in a low voice.
"Oh yes!" Guo Yuanzhen suddenly, I was secretly staring, if I found that they were colluding confessions, I would stop and expose them, wouldn't it?
Guo Yuanzhen blended into the crowd again and quietly left.
In the court, Wei Yuanzhong was still routinely interrogating Wei and making court notes. Later, it was rumored that Niu Ben himself came to the court and confronted Webster. Coming and going, there is still work to be done.
In the back hall, the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were responsible for guarding the suspect Li Xiantong. However, the old general Li Jinxing sent half of his personal guards of 100 people to strengthen the defenses here. It stands to reason that this is not in accordance with the rules, and there is no reason for the field army to operate the garrison of the yamen. But at a time like this, whoever has the biggest fist makes sense. Li Xiantong could not refute and protest.
In fact, Li Xiantong was already a little discouraged. He was locked up in a room alone, slumped alone in such a dejected state that he almost fainted with a sense of burnout and frustration that he had never felt before.
fell into the hands of his own woman, this is something that Li Xiantong has never thought of. Especially the Lu family, an old couple who have been married for ten years, when they are in trouble, Li Xiantong once thought that it was the only person in the world that he could really trust.
The Lu family's rebellion and betrayal were like the last straw that crushed the camel, which completely dispersed the spirit in Li Xiantong's heart.
Throw in the towel......
Just as this thought jumped into Li Xiantong's mind, the door was pushed open, and a cold voice came in, "Li Xiantong, someone wants to see you!" ”
Li Xiantong suddenly felt a wave of disgust in his heart, this voice was very familiar to him, the little secretary of the Fa Cao who used to follow him every day to blow his beard and pat the horse, and sent him to be his grandson, today when he saw me Li Xiantong in trouble, he called me by my name and fell into the well!
So Li Xiantong didn't bother to take care of it, so he simply turned over and lay down on the couch, his face turned inward, and he didn't even look at the door.
Lu Shi walked into the room and closed the door, walked lightly to Li Xiantong's side and knelt down, and muttered softly, "Husband." ”
Li Xiantong was shocked as if he had been electrocuted, and he sat up and looked at Lu Shi in surprise, "You ......"
"Why, you don't recognize me?" Lu's expression was quite relaxed, as if he was smiling, just like when he usually served him at home.
"Why are you here?" Li Xiantong was very surprised, he was Fa Cao's army and knew the rules of the Daoist Mansion, and he also knew that Dao Dao had long been controlled by Li Jinxing, how could they allow such an important witness as the Lu clan to come to see me?
"I'm here to save your life."
Lu's five words once again surprised Li Xiantong.
He stood up and looked at Lu condescendingly with round eyes, as if he had never known her.
"Don't you believe me?" Lu Shi was still sitting, looking up at Li Xiantong.
"You...... You were in court just now, and you clearly wanted to put me to death. Li Xiantong said, "I never thought that the person who gave me the last knife would be you!" ”
"Husband, although you divorced me, you will always be my husband in your heart, and this cannot be changed." Lu Shi said calmly, "You are ruthless to me, but I still can't do it, and I am unrighteous to you." If I don't fall into the well for you, I won't be able to appear in front of you now to save your life! - Husband, whether you are dead or alive after this case is over, this will be the last time we will meet. So, what I say to you right now can be regarded as a farewell! ”
"......" Li Xiantong suddenly became a little cramped and uneasy.
It's like a man who fell into the water grabbed a life-saving straw, and of course Li Xiantong wanted to hold on to it firmly. But he never thought that this straw would be thrown by the Lu family.
Li Xiantong looked at his ten-year-old wife who had just been divorced, thinking that she was exiled thousands of miles away when she was twenty years old, she eloped away from home and followed the hardships all the way, and gave birth to a child in the middle of the road, and the mother and child were almost lost after the most childless, and the husband and wife had almost never quarreled once in the past ten years, respecting each other as much as a guest but also being as light as water, and then not long ago he finally divorced her...... Then today's pair of Bo Gongtang was stabbed in the heart by her, and now, she said that she came to save her life!
Li Xiantong never thought he was stupid. But now, there really is a little bit in his mind that can't turn.
"If I really want to hurt you, I don't have to come back to you." Lu said.
This sentence made Li Xiantong make up his mind - a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!
"You say."
"I know what you're thinking in your heart, that's right, Xue Shao's people took me captive. But they didn't bully or coerce me. Lu said, "I have talked to Miss Wei, and I have also talked to Xue Shao. I know a lot of things that I didn't know before. Eventually, I learned one thing - if you get to the bottom of it, you're dead! ”
Li Xiantong blushed and did not speak. He knew his wife, and it was true that she was gentle and virtuous and never had a temper, but that didn't mean she didn't have knowledge. She didn't go into detail about what happened to these things, but she gave a clear result, three words - dead!
Li Xiantong knows this more than anyone else.
"Only now do you have one way to live." After Lu Shi said this, he rolled his eyes and signaled, "The wall has ears." ”
Li Xiantong has always been shrewd, how could he not know what she meant. So he pretended to be unintentional and approached Lu, and Lu whispered quickly in his ear.
Li Xiantong's face changed greatly, and he glared at the Lu family abruptly, as if his wife who had been tied for ten years had become a flood beast, with a frightened look on his face, and he was extremely frightened.
Lu Shi seemed to have expected him to have such a reaction, so he was not surprised at all, and still said lightly: "Don't worry, no one instructed me to tell you this." Ten years, you have been my dearest person in this world. No matter what you've done to me, I still don't want you to end up in a very tragic end. Women are selfish, and for me, it's better for anyone to die than you to die. ”
"......" Li Xiantong opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he was speechless, and looked at Lu Shi in surprise, as if he had never known her.
"Husband, this is the last time I have called you that...... Farewell! Lu Shi said, turned around and left.
"Wait ......" Li Xiantong called out halfway through the sentence, and reached out to pull her, but he couldn't help it.
Lu Shi had already drifted away, never looking back at him again.
Li Xiantong's eyes widened as if he had been frightened by a ghost, his face turned pale, and he stood alone in the room for a long time.
……
In the yamen public hall of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Wei Yuanzhong shouted "bring the suspect"!
Li Xiantong was taken to the public hall by the two officials on the left and right, and stood there expressionlessly, neither kneeling nor silent, his face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy.
Wei Yuanzhong didn't pursue those vulgar courtiers with him, and directly waved his hand and asked the secretary of the hall to show him Fang Cai's pen book.
"Li Xiantong, someone accused you of conspiring to seize power and murdering the imperial court officials, what is your defense?" Wei Yuanzhong asked.
Li Xiantong threw the court pen and book to the little official, "I admit that I did all these things." ”
"Huh?"
There was an uproar inside and outside the courtroom.
Xue Shao frowned, turned his head sideways and asked Guo Yuanzhen beside him, "What did the Shicai Lu family say to him?" ”
"I didn't hear the last whisper." Guo Yuanzhen shook his head, "It's just that after the Lu family finished speaking, Li Xiantong's expression changed greatly. There must be something different! ”
Xue Shao twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, could it be that I think people are wrong, but I was deceived by the seemingly gentle Lu family? What kind of drama are the two planning to play together?
Xue Shaozheng was thinking about it, and Li Xiantong, who was above the court, suddenly added in a loud voice, "I admit it, but it doesn't mean that I admit my guilt!" ”
"Huh?"
Once again, the audience is full of noise!
Wei Yuanzhong shouted "silence", and after being quiet inside and out, he asked, "Since you admit that you did these things, you have already broken the law and constituted a criminal crime. Isn't it contradictory that they don't confess their sins? ”
"Of course I have my reasons." Li Xiantong's face was expressionless, and he said in a deep voice, "Originally, I didn't want to make these hidden intentions public, but since Wei Yushi and many people outside the court are aggressive to me, I can't help it." ”
"You have something to say." Wei Yuanzhong said.
Xue Shao's brows tightened, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve...... Li Xiantong suddenly chanted this sentence, and then looked up to the sky and sighed loudly, saying, "Until now, I can only achieve the great loyalty of the whole country, and sacrifice the small righteousness of family affection!" ”
Everyone became more and more curious, what exactly did he want to say?
Xue Shao's heart froze, is this guy going to jump off the wall in a hurry?!
"Wei Yushi, in fact, I shouldn't stand here to be tried, especially not in public." Li Xiantong's tone suddenly became aggressive, "Afterwards, maybe you will regret it!" ”
"This official asks about the case in court, you just have to answer!" Wei Yuanzhong shouted awe-inspiringly, "If you say such words again, you will be threatening this official in the court, and this official can cure your sin first!" ”
"Okay, Wei Yushi, you forced me!" Li Xiantong took a deep breath and stood tall with his hands on his back, his expression was extremely righteous and impassioned!
Xue Shao saw that in fact, he was cutting the back of his hand behind him, and his right hand was tightly pinching the wrist of his left hand with great strength, trembling rapidly.
Li Xiantong's heart is in a fierce fight and crazy struggle!!
