"Back to ...... Back to the adult, the little ...... The little one is a cultivator who has wandered the world, and his status is low, how can he know a high-ranking official of the court like Lord Li. 2.

was asked by Li Hongyu bluntly, the nervous and emaciated middle-aged man's face suddenly changed, his body trembled involuntarily, and then replied calmly.

"Tell this official, why did you leave the capital all of a sudden?" Li Hongyu saw that the emaciated middle-aged man was so frightened by his words that his face was bloodless, and he knew that he had lied, but he didn't care about it now and continued to ask.

"Adults, the small wandering in the four seas has no fixed place, every place comes with fate, goes with fate, and the fate is exhausted, and the small one leaves."

The emaciated middle-aged man laughed when he heard this, explained with a smile, and subconsciously reached out to wipe the cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

"In that case, why did you change your outfit? Is this what a monastic should do? Li Hongyu knew from the emaciated middle-aged man's reaction that he was extremely nervous at this time, so he asked with a sneer.

Li Hongyu is not afraid of emaciated middle-aged people lying, because the more he lies, the more flaws he will show, and the kind of person who tells the truth as soon as he comes up is not easy to deal with, it is obvious that what he says is the kind of innocuous truth, so it is difficult to grasp the handle in his words.

"This ......"

The emaciated middle-aged man was speechless for a while when he heard this, although he had already thought of an excuse on the way back to the capital, but his mind was blank in a panic, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he explained with a flustered expression, "Back to the adult, the little one is in a hurry, and he doesn't want to be disturbed on the road, so he asked the villain to catch demons or fortune telling, so he changed his clothes." ”

Hearing this, Liu Han, who was sitting on the side to listen to the trial, frowned suddenly, it was obvious that the emaciated middle-aged man was full of lies, and if he were replaced, he would have been tortured a long time ago.

"Are you afraid of being asked to refine the elixir?" Li Hongyu sneered, glared at the emaciated middle-aged man meaningfully and said.

"Back to the adult, the little ...... Although the villain can do alchemy, he ...... But it's been a long time since I practiced it...... It's been refined. ”

The emaciated middle-aged man's body trembled again when he heard this, his eyes were full of panic, and he stammered back, sweat on his forehead like rain, Li Hongyu's words undoubtedly poked at his sore spot.

"Really?" Seeing this, a sneer flashed at the corner of Li Hongyu's mouth, and he stared at him with a serious expression and said, "But according to the official's verification, you have been selling refined pills in the capital before you left the capital, and someone has seen you refining medicine in the Taoist temple, how can it be that you haven't refined it for a long time?" ”

"My lord, the villain didn't make it clear in a hurry, because he didn't have to refine medicine after leaving the capital." The emaciated middle-aged man didn't expect Li Hongyu to find out his bottom in detail, and after hearing that his face changed, he hurriedly changed his words.

"When are you going to refine medicine again?" Seeing that the emaciated middle-aged man had changed his statement, Li Hongyu's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of pity, and he asked with a cold expression, I'm afraid that the emaciated middle-aged man hasn't realized that he has been led by the nose.

"The villain is going to refine medicine after he arrives in Shandong, and the villain can raise coils at that time." The emaciated middle-aged man saw that Li Hongyu did not question his statement, and thought that he had passed the test in a fool's way, so he bowed down and said with a smile on his face.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" Li Hongyu frowned when he heard this, and then looked at the emaciated middle-aged man and said.

"What do you mean, sir?" The emaciated middle-aged man was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of Li Hongyu's words.

"This official didn't see your tools for refining pills, those things don't seem to be easy to buy, where did you put them?" Li Hongyu looked at the emaciated middle-aged man quietly and asked coldly.

There are no tools for refining pills on the market, after all, there are only a few people refining pills, and if there is no demand, there will naturally be no supply, and people need to be specially found to make them.

"What the adults said is very true, the villain's medicine refining equipment was accidentally lost on the road, so the first thing he did after arriving in Shandong was to customize a set of equipment."

Seeing that Li Hongyu mentioned the equipment for refining pills, the emaciated middle-aged man's face became difficult to look at again, and he explained with a smile on his face.

"I'm afraid you don't have that chance anymore!"

Li Hongyu's face sank when he heard this, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the startling wood on the table, pointed at the emaciated middle-aged man and shouted in a deep voice, "Come on, take down this traitor who conspired with Li Kezhuo to this official, and still don't want to repent until now, you just wait for the whole door to be beheaded!" ”

As Li Hongyu's voice fell, several soldiers immediately rushed over on both sides of the lobby, and the emaciated middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground was dragged out.

"Adult, small wrongs, small wrongs, please be aware of them!"

The emaciated middle-aged man never expected Li Hongyu to turn his face when he said it, and regarded him as Li Kezhuo's accomplice, so frightened that his soul suddenly scattered, and he shouted loudly while struggling, he didn't want to be regarded as a traitor who murdered Emperor Taichang, otherwise not only would his life be difficult to protect his family, but he would also lose his head.

"Are you not convinced?" Li Hongyu raised his hand when he heard this, and he had already dragged the emaciated middle-aged man to the soldiers at the door, and he looked at the emaciated middle-aged man who was sweating profusely and had a pale face and asked.

"Adult, the little one is wronged, and the little one didn't conspire with Li Kezhuo, let alone murder the emperor."

The emaciated middle-aged man hurriedly defended when he heard this, sweating profusely on his forehead, but he knew that Li Hongyu's words could decide his life and death, so he was extremely nervous now, and his heart was almost in his throat.

"This official sees that you don't shed tears if you don't see the coffin." Li Hongyu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, and shouted at the soldiers on the side, "Come on, bring him something!" ”

The soldiers had already prepared, and when they heard this, they brought some items to the emaciated middle-aged man, and the emaciated middle-aged man's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and the things that those soldiers brought were nothing else, it was the set of pill-refining equipment that Li Kezhuo hid from his neighbor's subordinates.

"Presumably, I don't need to say that you also know these things, what else do you have to defend?"

Li Hongyu looked coldly at the emaciated middle-aged man with an extremely ugly face, and said in a cold voice, "The official has already checked, and someone in the Taoist temple outside the city has seen you use this set of equipment to make medicines. ”

"If you think he is wrong, then the official will have your relatives and friends come and ask them to identify whether this set of equipment is yours, then you are an out-and-out conspiracy, and no one can save you!"

Seeing that the emaciated middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to deny it, Li Hongyu coldly warned him, presumably the people around the emaciated middle-aged man could recognize the tools he used to refine the pills.

"My lord, the little one didn't know that Lord Li was going to refine the pill for Emperor Daxing, and thought that he had a heart for this, so he lent him the alchemy tools."

The emaciated middle-aged man's face turned from white to green, and then from green to black, Li Hongyu's words made him unable to refute, and after experiencing the initial shock, he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly defended to Li Hongyu with a panicked expression.

"Even so, you don't know about it!" Li Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, knowing that the psychological defense line of the emaciated middle-aged man had collapsed, and then glared at him coldly and said, "Say, how did you and Li Kezhuo meet, why did you lend him those tools for refining pills?" ”

As he spoke, Li Hongyu waved his hand, and the soldiers holding the emaciated middle-aged man let go of their hands, and the emaciated middle-aged man collapsed on the ground with a plop, intermittently telling the truth.

It turned out that the emaciated middle-aged man came to the capital before the death of Emperor Wanli, and soon after accidentally met Li Kezhuo.

At that time, the elixir refined by the emaciated middle-aged man cured a patient, so that the patient's family came to the stall where he set up a stall to thank him.

In fact, the family members of those patients who came to thank him were just nurseries hired by emaciated middle-aged people, who specially acted for outsiders to see, so that people could buy the pills he refined.

Speaking of which, the elixir refined by the emaciated middle-aged man is not a poison, its raw materials are ordinary medicinal materials, which can treat some common minor ailments and have no harm to the body, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by the families of those patients, how could he live to this day?

The emaciated middle-aged man knew that Li Kezhuo was the temple master of Honglu Temple, so he deliberately flaunted his alchemy skills, which made Li Kezhuo also interested in it.

Not long after Emperor Taichang ascended the throne, Li Kezhuo found the emaciated middle-aged man and asked the emaciated middle-aged man to hand him over the kind of "elixir" that Qin Shi Huang had previously boasted of sending people to find.

The emaciated middle-aged man is just talking nonsense, where can he really refine the elixir, otherwise he would have eaten it by himself, but in the face of Li Kezhuo, he couldn't refuse, otherwise he would offend Li Kezhuo.

So, the emaciated middle-aged man handed over the alchemy method recorded in an ancient book to Li Kezhuo, and as far as he knew, Emperor Jiajing took the pill refined according to this method.

To the surprise of the emaciated middle-aged man, Li Kezhuo borrowed his tools for refining pills after learning how to refine them, and gave him a lot of silver to make up for his losses.

The emaciated middle-aged man didn't know that Li Kezhuo wanted to offer the "elixir" to Emperor Taichang at that time, and thought that Li Kezhuo was just interested in refining pills, anyway, even if he took the pills he taught to refin, he would not cause death, and after he left the capital, Li Kezhuo was helpless even if he knew that he was fooled.

But it didn't take long for the emaciated middle-aged man to be surprised to learn that Li Kezhuo had offered the "elixir" to Emperor Taichang, and Emperor Taichang's condition had greatly improved.

Because Li Kezhuo claimed that the elixir offered to Emperor Taichang was given by the immortals, although the emaciated middle-aged man had doubts, he did not dare to act rashly, in case he came to the door Li Kezhuo said that he didn't know him, then he would be miserable, and he couldn't save being killed by Li Kezhuo.

Later, the emaciated middle-aged man heard about the death of Emperor Taichang and Li Kezhuo's seizure of his home, and knew that Li Kezhuo had caused a shocking disaster, so he fled from the capital in panic, so as not to be implicated in Li Kezhuo's case.
