Wang Yuan rushed forward in shock, gently put Li Yong's body flat on the ground, and probed his snort with his hand, only feeling a slight breath out, but no breath to enter.

Yang Shenjin wiped his face indiscriminately and shouted, "What? Can it be saved? ”

Wang Yuan shook his head slightly and sighed: "I'm afraid I can't save it." ”

Yang Shen stomped his feet and scolded, and several subordinate officials came forward to check the injury, all of them sighed and shook their heads. Yang Shenjin wiped a few handfuls indiscriminately, and stepped forward to check when he could see, but saw that Li Yong's white hair was full of dirty blood, and the situation was extremely terrifying. Seeing Li Yong's eyes wide and seemed to be looking at him, his heart was empty, and he waved his hand and said, "Drag it down, drag it down." ”

Liu Ji stepped forward and said: "Yang Shangshu, please go back to the inner hall to wipe your face and change your clothes first, and deal with the matter here." ”

Yang Shenjin cursed and brushed his sleeves away, and the officials in the hall also sighed and dispersed, Liu Ji came forward with a few officials, and said to Wang Yuan, who was squatting beside Li Yong: "Deputy Envoy Wang, go, I'll deal with the matter here." ”

Wang Yuan was grief-stricken in his heart, and Li Yong's defense of his last dignity in this way was too intense. Although Li Yong's move completely cut off Yang Shenjin's attempt, which was beneficial in terms of major events, Wang Yuan did not want such a result, and the price of confessing himself with his life was too great. Li Yong may have been well thought out, and he wanted to maintain his dignity and pride in this way, while also putting a final exclamation point on his life's uninhibited and arrogant.

"Deputy Envoy Wang, Deputy Envoy Wang?" Liu Ji still called in a low voice on the side.

Wang Yuan frowned and raised his head and said, "Don't drive Liu, Li Taishou committed suicide, what do you feel in your heart?" ”

Liu Ji was stunned and said, "Do you think?" Although it is a pity, he deserves it, and he commits suicide in fear of sin......"

Wang Yuan shouted coldly: "Shut up, you don't accumulate virtue when people die." You know what the truth is. He is guilty, are you Liu Ji an innocent person? ”

"Deputy Envoy Wang, this ...... What are these words? Liu Ji panicked.

Wang Yuan sneered: "You know my words in your own heart, you step down, I will sort out Li Taishou, and then you will carry him into the burial." People die greatly, be respectful, don't say that like that just now, aren't you afraid that Li Taishou's soul will come to you? ”

Liu Ji shivered and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the lower official knows that he is wrong." ”

Liu Ji beckoned and ordered several officials to retreat aside. Wang Yuan turned his head to look at Li Yong's face, gently wiped the blood flowing from Li Yong's forehead with a cloth towel, looked at Li Yong's eyes who had lost his brilliance, and said in a low voice: "Li Taishou, you can rest in peace." Mrs. Zun asked me to bring you a few words, I didn't have a chance to tell you, I was going to tell you later, but I didn't expect to have no chance. Madame Zun asked me to tell you that she and your children and grandchildren do not blame you, they just don't understand you. Mrs. Zun said that she will take your children and grandchildren to live a peaceful life, and will not let your Li family's incense be cut off. She also said that if there is an afterlife...... She's still willing to marry you......"

Wang Yuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his voice was a little choked.

Li Yong's mouth suddenly let out a long sigh, his eyes were slowly closed, and the hideous look on his face was relaxed and calm. Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to probe his snort again, but there was no breath at all.

Wang Yuan stood up and silently walked out of the county hall, rode on his horse and walked slowly up the street, the sun was shining in the sky, the market was still busy, green trees and red flowers, a prosperous scene, but Wang Yuan's mood was very low, and he was not interested in these. After returning to the pavilion, I didn't even eat lunch, so I fell asleep.

As soon as Li Yong died, it would be impossible for Du Youlin to make a breakthrough in this case, and only when Li Yong came out to testify against Du Youlin could it be possible to go further. And relying on Liu Ji's report alone, it can't achieve the expected effect.

Yang Shen's main purpose in Beihai County is to Du Youlin's case, and the so-called embezzlement of public money is not too important. Bringing down Li Shizhi and bringing down the prince is not an order of magnitude at all. And now, the errand is smashed.

Yang Shenjin never imagined that such a situation would happen in the hall today, he smashed a room of things in the back hall in anger, and finally sat down with a pant and carefully where the mistake of this matter was, and how to explain the matter to Xiangguo. If there is no reason to explain, Xiangguo will not be able to pass that level, and Wang Ji will not be able to wait to ridicule himself after knowing this.

Ji Wen waited for Yang Shenjin to finish venting and the room was quiet, and then quietly entered the house like a shadow. After the robbery of Li Yong's family last night, Ji Wen has been hiding in the county government with his people, so as not to be accidentally bumped into by Liu Dehai's regimental training soldiers and horses, who were searched by the whole city. Early this morning, he was in the dark to observe the trial process, and he also witnessed Li Yong's suicide.

Ji Wen was also very depressed, but he was not as hysterical as Yang Shenjin, and he still had some sense to think about something when Yang Shenjin went crazy.

"Yang Shangshu, don't hurt your body." Ji Wen whispered beside Yang Shenjin, who was panting in the chair.

Yang Shenjin snorted and did not answer, Ji Wen held back the embarrassment of being ignored, and said again in a low voice: "This matter is definitely a troublemaker, then Li Yong originally accepted Yang Shangshu's conditions, why did he suddenly change his mind today?" He had already compromised in order to protect his family, so why was he so tough today? Someone must be making trouble. ”

Yang Shenjin raised his head and said, "What do you think, say it quickly." ”

Ji Wen said: "There are only two possibilities for this matter, one is that Li Yong impulsively did it regardless of the safety of his family, which is basically impossible, Li Yong is not a crazy person, he will disregard the safety of his family." Another possibility is that Li Yong knows what happened last night, and he knows that his family has been rescued, so he no longer has any worries to worry about. If the latter possibility is true, someone secretly passed the news to Li Yong to know. ”

Yang Shenjin frowned and said: "I also think so, but Li Yong has been detained in my courtyard, last night and even before going to the court today, he was guarded by my confidants, and no one contacted and talked to him, how could he know the news of last night?" ”

Ji Wen said with a twist: "This is also something that the humble position feels puzzled, Yang Shangshu's personal subordinates have no doubts, but if someone hadn't told Li Yong the news, today's matter would not have been explained." ”

Yang Shenjin thought about it for a while, got up and shouted outward: "Come on, carry Li Yong's body into the back office." ”

Someone outside agreed, and Ji Wen said in a low voice, "Did Yang Shangshu remember something suspicious?" ”

Yang Shenjin said: "Before going to the court, no idle people contacted and talked to Li Yong, but after going to the court, someone talked to him. And someone even made him tea for him to drink, and after that, Li Yong's tone changed, and I wanted to figure out the reason. ”

Ji Wen nodded slightly and said: "What Yang Shangshu said is very true, I also think that Wang Yuan's kid is a little strange, Li Yong is already a guilty body, what is he doing to show goodwill?" Listening to you, he didn't say a word in the hall before, and he didn't say a word, but today he went to make tea for Li Yong, which is very strange. ”

Yang Shenjin said: "I wonder if there is something strange in that tea, maybe there is some kind of medicine that made Li Yong lose his heart and impulse to die." ”

Ji Wen resisted the urge to complain, and said in his heart: Are you a pig brain? If the person who took the medicine died, he would be found out, how could Wang Yuan do that.

After the tea time, Liu Ji took several officials to carry Li Yong's body in with the door panel and placed it on the bluestone by the flower bed. Someone put a hat on Li Yong and covered his wounds. Li Yong's eyes were also closed, his face was much calmer, and he didn't look so scary.

Yang Shenjin stood at the corpse and looked at it for a while, then reached out and took off Li Yong's hat, and a blood-stained white hair leaked out in a mess.

Yang Shenjin frowned, turned his head to stare at Liu Ji and shouted, "What about the hosta on Li Yong's head?" Do you want to take even the things of the dead? ”

Liu Ji hurriedly said: "No, I didn't take any hosta for my humble position." ”

Ji Wen stepped forward and shouted coldly, "Who sorted out the corpse just now?" Who took the hosta on Li Yong's bun? ”

Liu Ji understood, and shouted to several officials: "You dogs, you dare to be greedy for the property of the dead man, why don't you take it out quickly, do you want to die?" ”

Several officials looked panicked, one knelt on the ground first, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the rest also hurriedly kowtowed while taking something out of their arms. Several belongings on Li Yong's body were taken out, such as hostas, rings, sachets, jade pendants and other things on the ground. These officials took the opportunity to collect the corpse and searched the valuable objects on Li Yong's body, and put a hat on Li Yong in order to cover up the messy white hair after the hosta was removed.

"Hit." Gwenn shouted.

Seven or eight soldiers stepped forward, grabbed a few officials and punched and kicked them, and suddenly there was a cry of father and mother.

Yang Shenjin frowned and looked at a few things on the ground, his eyes fell on a crane silver hairpin, and he gently took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. Jiwen's eyes were also attracted by the silver hairpin, and he leaned up to take a look.

Suddenly, Ji Wen exclaimed in surprise, "Where have I seen this hairpin?" ”
