Chapter 331: Hot Potato

Wang Shouyi became serious: "The Flying Mouse confessed that someone gave him three thousand taels of silver a month ago to steal something. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Three thousand taels? What is so valuable that it costs so much silver? Li Longji also felt strange.

The Flying Mouse confessed that he went to Qianling more than ten days ago to steal a jade book, handed it over to the person who entrusted it, and exchanged it for three thousand taels of silver. He had just hidden his money before we caught him! ”

"What, Wang joins the army, you repeat, what did he steal?" Liang Dequan's face changed.

"He said he went to Qianling to steal a jade book!"

When Li Longji heard this, he was already furious, and he said sharply: "It's a bastard!" Where is this flying rat now? Take me quickly, I'm going to kill him alive!" ”

Of course, Liang Dequan knew why Li Longji was so angry, he didn't expect that the thieves who stole Qianling would hide in Luzhou, which he governed here, if Long Yan was angry, he would really be investigated......

Thinking of this, Liang Dequan couldn't help but sweat coldly, he glanced at Li Longji, and thought to himself: This matter has to push Li Longji to the front no matter what, no matter what, Li Longji is the king of the county, or the grandson of Gaozong Li Zhi, with him in front of him, he really has to be investigated, and his responsibility is smaller.

Thinking of this, Liang Dequan hurriedly said to Li Longji: "King Linzi, don't worry, this matter is not trivial, don't be reckless, if you don't do it, we will be affected!" ”

Li Longji snorted angrily: "Lord Thorn Shi, then what do you say about this?" “

Liang Dequan rolled his eyes and said slowly: "This case is related to Emperor Gaozong and the current saint, you are the direct grandson of Emperor Gaozong, I think it is most appropriate for this case to be handed over to you for trial, I don't know what King Linzi wants?" “

Li Longji glanced at Liang Dequan, his face sank and he was dissatisfied: "Lord Thorn Shi, you are very shrewd in this abacus." Do you want to throw this hot potato at me, and you can't afford to be idle yourself? “

Liang Dequan saw that Li Longji's tone was not good, and hurriedly explained: "How can it? This case is being tried by the King of Linzi, of course I will not stay out of the matter, I will fully cooperate! “

Hearing Liang Dequan say this, Li Longji's face softened a little and said: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't take this case, but as a descendant of the Li family, I can't let the emperor be ashamed, so I took this case." ”

"King Gaoyi of Linzi, this official admires!" Liang Dequan was happy and did not forget to put on a high hat for Li Longji.

"I'll say ugly things in front, if Lord Assassin doesn't cooperate, I'll turn around and leave immediately!"

"How can it! Liang will fully cooperate with the king of Linzi! Liang Dequan swore solemnly.

Li Longji nodded slightly, and took the case, he turned his head to Wang Shouyi and asked, "Can the Flying Mouse explain, who asked him to steal the jade book?" ”

"Confessed!" Wang Shouyi replied.

"Who is it?" Li Longji asked.

"He said that he was a good man from Bai Zongyuan!"

"Impossible!" Liang Dequan exclaimed on the side.

Li Longji and Wang Shouyi looked at Liang Dequan together, with a strange look on their faces.

Li Longji's eyes flickered, and he asked Liang Dequan: "Lord Assassin Shi, do you know the secret of this?" ”

Liang Dequan realized that he was a little out of shape, and he hurriedly explained: "King Linzi, how can I know the hidden secret, it's just that this Bai Zongyuan is my brother-in-law, and I still know a little about him!" If he did something else against the law, it is still possible. Such a rebellious thing, he is absolutely impossible to do! ”

When Wang Shouyi heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Lord Assassin Shi, do you mean that I framed Bai Dashan?" The Flying Mouse is in prison at the moment, if Lord Assassin Shi doesn't believe it, you can interrogate him in person, and you can find out if it's true or not! ”

Li Longji also said politely: "So, Lord Assassin Shi dares to vouch for Bai Zongyuan?"

"This ......"

Although Liang Dequan didn't believe that Bai Zongyuan would do such a thing, he didn't dare to ask him to pack the ticket.

Li Longji snorted coldly and said: "On weekdays, I basically don't ask about the big and small things in the Yamen of the Assassin's Mansion, but today's matter is related to the first emperor and the saint!" Since I am asked to try this case, no matter who is involved, I must investigate it to the end. ”

Speaking of this, Li Longji stared at Liang Dequan and said, "I'm going to go to the prison site to interrogate the flying rat, please go with Master Assassin Shi, I don't know what to do?" ”

Of course, Liang Dequan knew that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly nodded and said: "King Linzi is reasonable, of course I have to go together!" ”

Li Longji and Liang Dequan followed Wang Shouyi to the government prison, and the cell boss was already waiting in front of the prison door.

Wang Shouyi commanded the cell boss: "Open the prison door, Lord Assassin Shi and King Linzi will interrogate the flying rat on the spot!" ”

"Yes! Join the Army! The cell boss agreed, and quickly ordered the jailer to open the door.

The three of them followed the cell leader to the cell of the Flying Rat, and through the wooden fence, they saw one man lying on his side with his back to the cell door.

Wang Shouyi commanded the cell boss: "Go and bring the prisoner out, and the assassin Lord and the king of Linzi will interrogate!" ”

The cell boss answered the promise, opened the door of the cell, and shouted to the flying rats: "Get up quickly! ”

The Flying Rat didn't answer, and the cell boss felt that something was wrong with the situation, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take a closer look, and the Flying Rat was bleeding from all its knots, and its face was dead and gray, and it didn't move.

"Huh? How so? The cell boss was shocked.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Wang Shou hurriedly followed up the cell, stepped forward and leaned over to investigate, and the flying rat was no longer breathing.

Wang Shouyi's face was gloomy, and he turned to the cell boss and yelled, "What the hell is going on? ”

The cell boss was also frightened: "Wang ...... Wang joins the army...... I...... He ......"

Li Longji frowned and ordered a jailer: "Hurry up and call the servants!" ”

A jailer sped away.

After a while, Qi Zuo followed the jailer panting, and he saluted Liang Dequan and Li Longji: "My subordinates see Lord Assassin Shi and King Linzi!" ”

Liang Dequan pointed at the flying rat and said, "Quickly find out the cause of his death!" ”

He inspected it on the spot.

After a while, he reported to Liang Dequan after conducting an inquest: "Lord Qiyu, this person died of arsenic poisoning, and the body still has temperature, and the death will not take more than a quarter of an hour!" ”

"No more than a quarter of an hour?" Li Longji stared at the cell head and asked, "Who else has been here before we came!" ”

"White ...... White...... Bai Er, the housekeeper of the white great good man, has been here! The cell boss's legs and stomach trembled.

"What is he here for?" Li Longji asked.

He ...... He said that the great white man instructed him to send some food to the flying rats! ”

"Is this prison what he says he will enter? What do you want you to do? Wang Shouyi said angrily.

The cell leader glanced at Liang Dequan cautiously, and then replied: "In the past, when An joined the army, he once ordered that if Bai Er wanted to enter the prison to visit the prisoners, there was no need to stop him!" In the past, Bai Er has been to the prison many times, and it has been good, but who knows that today it is ......"

Li Longji looked at Liang Dequan coldly: "Lord Thorn Shi, what do you say I should do?" ”
