Chapter 178: Pure

Searching the royal palace is by no means an easy task, and if there is no real evidence, the dignified palace of the prince can not be searched.

Therefore, Ye Yu hopes that King Gong Zhao will take the initiative to make concessions, so that both parties will not be too embarrassed.

In the living room, King Gong Zhao was silent, but his heart was through several waves.

Although Qingwang Zhao Kai didn't say anything on the side, he also invisibly put pressure on Ye Yu.

"Bastard, how can the palace allow you and others to search at will, unless there is an edict from His Majesty, no one will think about it!"

At this time, a young woman walked in from outside, it was Princess Gong Li Fengniang.

After entering the living room, he glared directly at Ye Yu with that angry eye.

As soon as Ye Yu heard this, he immediately frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The lower officials are ordered to investigate the case, but don't they even have the right to search?" ”

"Humph! The Prince's Mansion is second only to the Imperial Palace, so what qualifications do you, a small servant, have to come and search the Palace? ”

What Li Fengniang said is actually not unreasonable, Ye Yu is also a scholar of three universities, and each of them is second only to the prime minister.

But that's just an honor, an add-on product without any authority. This is actually a very common thing for the chaotic and bloated official system of the Song Dynasty.

And Ye Yu's real power is the official position of the servant of the ministry. With the authority of the servant of the ministry, he is indeed not qualified to search the palace.

"Brother and sister, what if this king wants to search?" Qingwang Zhao Kai looked at Li Fengniang so presumptuous, so he asked in a deep voice in a long voice.

"This ......"

With the addition of Qingwang Zhao Kai, Li Fengniang's arrogance suddenly decreased a lot.

And at this moment, the living room fell into a brief stasis.

Ye Yu saw that King Qing's words suppressed the scene, so he instructed Zhang Meng to prepare to search the palace.

But just when Zhang Meng led the officials to search various places, a middle-aged man dressed in purple hurriedly walked in.

"Xiaguan Li Dao has seen His Royal Highness!" When this person entered the living room, he directly bowed to Zhao Kai.

When Zhao Kai looked at this person, his expression suddenly tightened, and then he said softly: "It turned out to be Master Li, when did you return to Beijing?" ”

"Returning to His Royal Highness, returning to Beijing from Yizhou to report on his work, the lower official only arrived in Beijing yesterday......"

After Li Dao finished speaking, he glanced up at Li Fengniang, and then continued: "The lower official thinks about the girl, so I have come to the mansion and don't want His Royal Highness to work here!" ”

"Oh? The father-daughter relationship is deep, but it is also reasonable......"

After Zhao Kai finished sighing, he didn't say anything, but glanced at Ye Yu intentionally.

And Ye Yu's face was a little solemn at the moment, because he knew that the appearance of this Li Dao was a big obstacle for him to search the palace.

After the investigation of Hu Meier and She Dongcheng, Ye Yu knew the weight of this Li Dao.

Li Dao is the father of Li Fengniang and Li Chong, and the father-in-law of King Gong Zhao Dan.

He once served as the commander of the Feng Army in the Yuejia Army, and followed Yue Fei to the north for four years in Shaoxing, and the six counties of Ketang Prefecture and Xiangyang Prefecture......

It can be said that Li Dao's accumulated military exploits, although not as good as the four generals of Zhongxing back then, are also people with brilliant military achievements.

Because of this, since then, he has not only been crowned as the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, but also served as the secretary of the military department and the envoy of the Dingyuan Army.

The superposition of this military attache military position is second only to Yu Yunwen, who is in the limelight today. When it comes to influence, Yu Yunwen has to give it three points.

It's just that this Li Dao is not often in the capital, so Yu Yunwen, the prime minister, dominates the court.

Yue Fei's military exploits were outstanding, and he was posthumously crowned the king of Hubei many years after his death, and Li Dao was given the title of Taiwei after his death and entered the king of Chu!

It can be seen that its weight cannot be underestimated.

So at this time, Li Dao appeared in the living room, undoubtedly adding a barrier to Ye Yu.

"It turned out to be Master Li, and the subordinate Ye Yu is polite!"

Li Dao turned his head, looked at Ye Yu, lightly twisted his beard and said with interest: "The old man heard about Master Ye's name in Yizhou, and now he sees it, he is really lucky!" ”

"The lower official is ashamed! Compared to Lord Li being the shepherd of His Majesty, this is what Ye Yu should revere......"

"Oh, Master Ye is polite! The old man is just a martial artist, and he can't compare to your talented literati. I just heard outside the door that Lord Ye was going to search the palace, but I don't know what happened? ”

Ye Yu secretly looked at Li Dao, and saw that this Li Dao was burly, and his beard looked extremely powerful.

Although the beard is a little pale and looks a little old, the eyes are blazing, and people can't avoid it when they look at each other.

Since Li Dao took the initiative to ask about this, Ye Yu also said bluntly: "Ye Yu was ordered to solve the case of Lingzi's murder, and there are many suspicions in this Gongwang Mansion, so the lower officials want to search ......"

"Master Ye has worked tirelessly for the dog, which makes me ashamed of my father!"

Li Dao sighed slightly: "Being able to find out the real culprit for the dog is naturally something that the old man looks forward to day and night. But this matter will not be Bachelor Ye, because the old man has already found out the murderer! ”

"Lord Li means ......" Ye Yu looked at Li Dao's unfazed eyes and seemed to feel a little strange.

"Come on, carry it up!"

With Li Dao's order, several guards who followed walked in with a person.

Li Dao pointed to the person who was brought in, and said coldly: "This is the murderer of the old man and child!" ”

Ye Yu looked at the man in front of him who had died, but he was very annoyed in his heart, thinking that this was obviously the new housekeeper of the palace.

At this time, King Gong Zhao Dian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth with a relaxed face: "This is Zhao Fu, the new housekeeper in the son-in-law's mansion, why did the father-in-law say that he was a murderer?" ”

Li Dao turned his face sideways and glanced at Zhao Dian, and then said: "On the way to the palace, the old man saw that Zhao Fu was in a hurry, and his expression was very frightened, and he expected that there must be a hidden secret, so he grabbed him and questioned him......

"The old man thought that this Zhao Fu was a prisoner and a thief, maybe he stole something valuable from the palace. Unexpectedly, the old man accidentally discovered that this Zhao Fu was the murderer of Chong'er! ”

"Oh? Father-in-law, why do you think that this Zhao Fu is a murderer? Zhao Dan's question at this moment was very timely, and there was no need for Ye Yu to question at all.

"Humph! The old man has two sons and a daughter under his knees, and the three jade pendants have their own uniqueness, and they have never left their ...... since they were children."

Li Dao said as he took out a jade pendant from Zhao Fu's arms, who had already died, and said in a deep voice: "But now that this jade pendant has appeared on this person, doesn't this feel suspicious?" ”

Ye Yu watched the two of them sing and harmonize, and the double reed sang seamlessly.

So he said in a deep voice: "Master Li, what can a jade pendant mean?" Even if this person is suspicious, you shouldn't kill the killer! With this move, where does Master Li put the law and discipline of the Gangchang Guidelines? ”

"This kid recruited everything, and the old man was out of control for a while, so he did such a thing, if His Majesty pursues this matter, the old man will bear it!"

"You! ……”

Ye Yu was so angry with this Li Dao that he was smoking, and this matter was clearly intentional. With a dead man to end everything, he would have no reason to search Prince Gong's mansion again.

According to the facts of the case that Li Dao said next, it is claimed that Zhao Fu confessed like this:

Because he coveted the beauty of Li Chong's concubine, he hooked up with her, but was found out by Li Chong when he was drunk that night.

Under some tearing, Zhao Fu begged for mercy in every possible way and could not be forgiven, and Li Chong had to put Zhao Fu to death.

Although Li Chong is the housekeeper of the palace, because he is the brother-in-law of King Gong, it is easy to kill a person.

Zhao Fu therefore did not stop doing two things, and stabbed Li Chong to death in the room.

Then he took advantage of the darkness of night to secretly carry Li Chong to the vicinity of the White Jade Tower, creating the illusion that he was attacked on the way.

And because Zhao Fu unintentionally picked up Ye Yu's lost folding fan, Li Chong had always hated Ye Yu, so he planned to come up with a means of transferring flowers and trees.

As for the dagger murder weapon hidden in the Bachelor's Mansion, it was left in the Bachelor's Mansion in the chaos when he sent a congratulatory gift to King Gong that day.

! These self-justifying facts made Ye Yu can only describe them with these two words in his heart.

If you want to say that Lin Weihan fabricated the case for him to justify himself, then Li Dao is a clumsy and shameless trick.

Although most of the reasons are clear, they do not stand up to scrutiny.

However, knowing that this is a lie, Ye Yu is powerless to expose it at the moment, is it necessary to investigate everyone who is dead?

With this high-ranking and powerful Li Dao, he insisted that Zhao Fu, who was still alive just now, was the murderer, how many people dared to question it?

Even if there are doubts and there is no proof of death, where should I start?

As soon as this case had an eyebrow, it was extinguished on the spot by this Li Dao.

Now it's good, the blame is put on a dead man, and it is Li Chong's Lao Tzu who personally confirms that even if Ye Yu has the heart at the moment, he is already powerless.

"Okay, Master Ye, since this case has been clarified, there is no need to delay any longer, let's go to the palace with this king to resume his life!"

Qingwang Zhao Kai also shook his head at this moment, and admonished Ye Yu meaningfully.

Li Dao saluted Zhao Kai respectfully: "Second Highness, although this case has been clarified, the lower official is willing to bear the responsibility for killing the murderer without authorization!" ”

"Lord Li doesn't have to blame himself, the pain of hurting his son is like a knife cut, and it is reasonable that his feelings are out of control, this matter will be truthfully returned to His Majesty, Lord Li doesn't have to worry!"

Zhao Kai glanced at Li Dao deeply, and then stopped staying, and went straight out of the living room to leave Prince Gong's mansion.

Ye Yu sighed slightly in his heart, and then left Prince Gong's mansion as well.

In the car of King Zhao Kai of Qing, Ye Yu sat in it silently, but his face was gloomy and depressed.

"What, unwilling?" Zhao Kai looked at Ye Yu, and then asked softly.

Ye Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xia Guan has tried a lot, but after all, he can't make a knife as much as Lord Li......"

It took a lot of effort to find clues from the impossible case.

But this is the clue that points to Prince Gong's Mansion, and Li Dao, who was killed halfway, was completely cut off with one sword, and there was nothing left.

Zhao Kai laughed dryly: "The matter has come to this, you don't have to mind, at least your confidante is saved!" ”

"What His Highness said is very true, and I hope that His Highness will say a few more kind words at that time to exempt Lin Weihan from responsibility......"

Ye Yu knows very well that even if Lin Weihan is innocent, but he obstructed the trial of the case and covered up the truth, the guilt of making a false confession cannot be exculplified!

"Master Ye rest assured, such a righteous and persistent woman, this king will not stand idly by!"

"Thank you, Second Highness!"
