(I'm in a hurry today, and the number of words in this chapter is slightly less, so let's make do with it.) Ask for a subscription. ）

Li Yong woke up and turned around, and the figure in his eyes slowly became clear, it was the face of Yang Shenjin, who was sitting in front of him with an indifferent expression. After he fainted, Yang Shenjin didn't even stretch out a finger to help him, just sat quietly, waiting for him to wake up slowly.

"Ahh Li Yong moaned softly.

"Li Taishou, are you okay?" Yang Shenjin's voice was as cold as ice in an ice cellar, although it was a greeting, there was no trace of warmth.

Li Yong didn't answer, gritted his teeth and slowly got up, propped himself up on the chair, opened his mouth and kept panting, the blood stains on the corners of his mouth and saliva slowly dripped down, looking extremely embarrassed.

Yang Shenjin looked at Li Yong with disgust, took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve but covered his mouth and coughed, and said slowly: "Does Li Taishou still want to listen?" ”

Li Yong gasped: "Listen, of course you have to listen, but you have to see how despicable and shameless you are." ”

Yang Shenjin said coldly: "Li Taishou, don't forget your identity. Are you qualified to accuse others of being vile and shameless now? The self-proclaimed Li Taishou is planted on money, and I don't know what people in the world will say about you. What is the disgrace of the body, what is the late festival is not guaranteed, it is said that you Li Taishou. ”

The vicious words were like needle piercing Li Yong's heart, but Li Yong was speechless, Yang Shenjin was right, he was ruined in the evening, can he blame others?

"Originally, I didn't know what kind of intimate relationship you had with Du Youlin, until Liu Ji said that you and him were actually good friends. Last spring, you brought two five-flowered horses with you to Beijing, may I take the liberty of asking, where did these two horses go? ”

Li Yong was speechless, Du Youlin likes horses, and the two five-flowered horses were indeed given to Du Youlin by himself, and this matter was shaken out for some reason. But in fact, Du Youlin paid the money, and now it seems that even if he said that he sold it to Du Youlin, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

"Two horses are not worth much, even if it is a five-flower BMW, it is only one hundred and eighty yuan, but sending a horse is a small matter, and the relationship between you and Du Youlin is a big thing. Du Youlin has now committed a big crime, and all the people associated with it will be interrogated, and you can't escape this matter. ”

"Du Gong and I are just friends, so what if we give him two horses? Even concubines and maids can be given to each other by my Tang scholars, so what can I do if I send two horses? Could it be that you, Yang Shangshu, have no dealings with others for old age and death, so there is no financial exchange with others. Li Yong shouted.

Yang Shenjin stretched out his hand and slapped the table and shouted: "Yes, I also make friends with people, and I also give people money and property as gifts, but I use my money, and I don't have any public money." Can you compare the money you give away with those of your friends who squandered feasts and drinks with the public money of the imperial court? Moreover, your motive is not to make friends, you have a different purpose. You can't escape being implicated in Liu Ji's accusation of exposing Du Youlin, what kind of collusion is there between you and Du Youlin, Du Youlin's crime of 'dying and proverbial, constructing the East Palace, and reprimanding public opinion' is afraid that you also have a share, this is not a friend to make friends, but collusion with bad intentions, you are still quibbling here, you really don't know whether you live or die. ”

Li Yong shouted: "Wronged, there is no such thing, I don't know if Du Youlin has ever been charged with such a crime, Du Youlin and I are just friends, and the conversation never involves anything else, you can't speculate and frame him." ”

Yang Shenjin sneered and said: "I also hope that you have nothing to do, but the evidence points to you, and it is useless for you to quibble and deny." I have already told you that someone has revealed that you and Pei Dunfu like to discuss the government and politics after drinking, so are you and Du Youlin innocent? If you have bad deeds in the past, you will not be wronged in the future, and it is useless for you to deny it. Besides, Du Youlin is already on trial in the capital, and soon he will confess to you, and you are still here to cover up for him. Li Yong, Li Yong, do you know that you are about to face a catastrophe? ”

Li Yong's body shook like a sieve, the weather was not cold, on the contrary, the sun was shining brightly in the past few days, and there was still some heat at night, but Li Yong seemed to be in the harsh winter, his upper and lower teeth were trembling, and his lips were blue and purple.

Yang Shenjin had no pity, looked at Li Yong coldly and continued: "Li Taishou, you should understand that if it is a case of embezzlement of public funds, the blame lies with you. But if you talk about the government and politics in vain and are involved with Du Youlin's case, then it is not a matter that you can die and apologize. When I saw that day when your family moved out of the yamen, your family was actually living in poverty, and I felt very uncomfortable. But then I rejoiced for them. If you embezzle a lot of money and don't use it for your own family, that's not necessarily a bad thing for them. At least the case doesn't involve them. I guess you were prescient enough to do that on purpose. ”

Li Yong's heart was like a knife, he was not prescient at all, but he didn't think of his family at all, he only cared about his own happiness and forgot about them.

Yang Shenjin continued: "However, once your case is not only limited to the embezzlement of public funds, but also the ill-intentioned discussion of the government, I am afraid that your family will all be implicated by you. You should be more familiar with the Tang Law than me, and you should know what this crime will bring. Your wife, three concubines, five sons and seventeen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren, dozens of people up and down, who can be spared? That's the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, Li Taishou, have you thought about it? ”

The internal organs in Li Yong's heart were being cut by the knife piece by piece, and he couldn't breathe in pain. After ignoring family affection for decades, for the first time, he reflected on his debt to them, but he still wanted to continue to implicate them in the bottomless abyss, which was a despair that Li Yong could no longer bear. It's okay if he dies, but he still has to implicate innocent family members, this is something that must not happen, this is something he must not accept.

"If you dare to touch my family, I won't let you go." Li Yong gritted his teeth.

Yang Shenjin smiled: "I don't know how many times I've heard this, but do you think Yang will worry about this?" ”

Li Yong gasped and said: "Yang Shenjin, don't be too complacent, if you do evil like this, there will be a day of retribution." Then your children and grandchildren will be connected, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”

Yang Shenjin frowned and said, "Li Taishou, are you angry with me?" My duty is to investigate the case, and if you didn't commit the crime, how could I come to you for trouble. The state has national laws and family rules, don't you still understand this truth? ”

Li Yong was about to speak, but Yang Shenjin waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you want to say, you must say that you are wronged, that's not what I want to hear." Li Taishou, in fact, I sympathize with you, I came to talk to you tonight, in fact, I want to help you. The case is here, it's useless for you to deny, if you really want to save your family, I have a way to help you. ”

Li Yong's eyes lit up and said, "You want to help me?" What's the solution? ”

Yang Shenjin got up and came to Li Yong's side, leaned over slightly and whispered in Li Yong's ear: "Li Taishou, even if you deny Du Youlin's case, Du Youlin will definitely bite you out, and Liu Ji will also prove that you can't escape the matter between you and Du Youlin." But if you change your thinking and expose Du Youlin before he bites you out, it will be different. That is called wearing a crime and making meritorious contributions, so that Du Youlin has no excuse for the crime. It's called denunciation, not accomplices, do you understand the difference? ”

Li Yong opened his mouth wide and said in a daze: "You want me to ...... Climb the false Du neighbors? ”

Yang Shen sighed: "You just don't open your mind, what is it called climbing?" It's called whistleblowing. I promise you, as long as you follow my advice and do what you have to do, I will keep your family safe. ”

Li Yong was stunned, with a complicated expression on his face.

Yang Shenjin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think about it, I won't force you, tomorrow the hall will see yourself." I'll send someone to escort you to your family tonight, and you'll have a great time. Your family lives in the inn, and I have sent someone to protect you and do some small part, so you don't have to thank me. I'm gone, so I'm going to think about it. ”

Yang Shenjin straightened up, took the lantern on the pillar and held it in his hand, slowly walked to the door, looked back at Li Yong, who was motionless like a wooden man, turned around and squeaked open the door, and floated away like a ghost.
