The trial was at an impasse, and Li You looked up at the sky anxiously, he really didn't have much time. While interrogating the five members of the Ma family, I had to think about other follow-up work, such as breaking the Sizhou embankment and evacuating the people.

It's a pity that there is no one available at hand now, and he can't do things separately, and at the same time, he is also trying to grab credit, so Lord Li has to do his best and do it himself, and he has to spend time here with the five members of the Ma family.

Syllable! Li You filmed the case again, and he was ruthless in his desire to choose one of the five members of the Ma family to torture him at the cost of life and death, as long as the other four had weak hearts, it would be easy to do.

"Although I haven't tried any cases, I can see that Master Li is tortured to extract a confession, and he looks like he has been beaten into a confession." Sitting next to him, Gonggong Hai didn't move for a long time, and at this time, this sentence suddenly came out.

Li You, who was in a hurry, turned his head and scolded: "Shut up! What do you have to do with it! ”

Gonggong Hai seemed helpless and said: "What Lord Li said before, I, the eunuch guarding the tomb, should participate in the investigation of the embankment and bring me here, why don't you recognize it now?" Can't I say a few fair words? ”

This... Li You was a little speechless, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being cocooned.

But there is no way, Master Li guessed in his heart that Wang Zhizhou and Hai Gonggong had collusion, after he arrested Wang Zhizhou, how dare he let Wang Zhizhou's fellow party Hai Gonggong continue to move freely outside? Who knows what the Sea Guild will do?

The harm of the tiger returning to the mountain is known to the three-year-old child, not to mention anything else, only to say that if the father-in-law of Ruohai returned to the ancestral tomb, he picked up the tomb guards and killed Wang Zhizhou again, and then jointly reported to the imperial court, what can he Li You do?

Master Li didn't have a powerful subordinate to monitor Gonggong Hai, so he could only use the excuse of investigating the case together to forcibly take Gonggong Hai with him, so that he could rest assured. Until the matter is over, the case is decided, and Grandpa Hai will do whatever he likes.

Li You originally thought that under his nose, Gonggong Hai would not have a chance to do anything again, and he could concentrate on dealing with Wang Zhizhou and the Ma family. It is difficult to have both things, and Grandpa Hai can't make waves outside, but it's more convenient to sit next to him and point fingers.

Master Li glared at Grandpa Hai, and really wanted to impulsively arrest Grandpa Hai and imprison him, just like he did with Wang Zhizhou, but he couldn't.

First, the identity of the eunuch is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and it is a bit taboo for a minister to arrest the eunuch without authorization, not to mention that Gonggong Hai is also a eunuch guarding the tomb, not a miscellaneous eunuch who doesn't even have a name.

Secondly, the arrest of the governor of Sizhou is already earth-shattering, and then arresting the eunuch guarding the ancestral tomb can probably only be explained by rebellion in the eyes of outsiders.

Third, judging from the current clues, Li You can blame Wang Zhizhou for the embankment breakdown, and if Wang Zhizhou is arrested, it will be easy to deal with the crime.

But there was no sign that Gonggong Hai had a direct connection with the embankment breaking, he was just standing on the embankment with Wang Zhizhou and talking and laughing, Li You was not sure what could be found, so he didn't dare to make too much trouble with Gonggong Hai. Under the pretext of investigating the case together, forcibly restricting Gonggong Hai to his side is already the limit.

However, it is obvious that at this time, Gonggong Hai has recovered from the initial panic and understands his temporary stable situation.

Yes, Gonggong Hai did have a conspiracy with Wang Zhizhou, but his responsibility was only to jointly order the discharge of the Sizhou embankment with Wang Zhizhou after the Zuling embankment burst, and to play an invitation to Wang Zhizhou afterwards.

Before and how the Zuling embankment burst, it had nothing to do with him, Li You couldn't find any traces, and at most pulled Wang Zhizhou off the horse. And now it seems that it is unknown whether Li You can open the gap from Wang Zhizhou and the Ma family.

As long as he can be safe and sound, why bother? If you go back and report Li Youqu to make a move, the results of the trial are innumerable, if the court accepts it, it will be completely safe. Now that the three of them are together, Li You is one, he and Wang Zhizhou are two, two to one, and the court should always trust the side with more people.

Thinking of this, Gonggong Hai was as steady as Mount Tai, and glanced at Li You a few times triumphantly, as if he was the victor. "What does Master Li think of me? Continue to judge, judge! I'm watching here, turning around and playing 1510, so that the court will know Lord Li's resoluteness. ”

Li You was almost about to scold. Gonggong Hai's words are not indiscriminate complaints, as a eunuch sent to the place to guard the tomb, he is equivalent to half a Qincha and the eyes and ears of the royal family. Although it has lost the prestige and fortune of interfering in local affairs, it still has the channels and power to report directly to the court and the palace.

Especially when it comes to the ancestral tomb, the eunuch guarding the tomb has a very heavy report, and if he really wants to make trouble, Li You doesn't want to scold him.

But... Li You suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he realized something. After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly found that the eunuch in front of me was the real key person!

Most of the embankment collapse was planned by Gonggong Hai and Wang Zhizhou, even if he did not participate, he must be an insider, as long as he turned against the water, he was worried that there was no evidence of Wang Zhizhou?

All I need is someone to come out and take responsibility, whether it is Wang Zhizhou alone, or Wang Zhizhou and Hai Gonggong, there is no difference. He and Gonggong Hai had no grudges before.

Even if there is no empirical evidence, then he and Wang Zhizhou are two parties that contradict each other, and Gonggong Hai, the eunuch guarding the tomb, can be the seemingly fair third party. As long as Gonggong Hai is willing to say a few words to the court in favor of himself, in a two-to-one situation, can the court still not believe himself?

He tortured the five members of the Ma family to find evidence of Wang Zhizhou, which is simply reluctant! The Hai Gonggong next to him is the character with the richest connotation!

Thinking wildly, Li You suddenly changed his smiling face, invited Gonggong Hai into the back hall, and made people feel shocked by tea.

pinched his nose and whispered: "This official has heard such a sentence from the mouth of a villain, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Ming people don't say secret words, since you can cooperate with Wang Zhizhou, why can't you cooperate with this official? Now no matter what, the ancestral tomb is in danger, and you and I need to join forces, the same great merit of saving the ancestral tomb, and the same great merit of protecting the country, is Gonggong Hai willing to let it go? ”

This is a very tempting suggestion, which is equivalent to giving Hai Gonggong a low-hanging fruit, and it is also what Hai Gonggong has been pursuing before. For him, it seems that there is no difference between cooperating with Wang Zhizhou or Li You, and it is very simple to agree.

But Gonggong Hai thought about it for a while, and then flatly refused: "I don't understand what Master Li said, and I don't understand what you mean when you say that I have cooperated with Wang Zhizhou. I am the eunuch guarding the mausoleum, and the embankment outside the mausoleum is the responsibility of your place, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere. ”

Li You was very surprised by the attitude of Gonggong Hai, he thought that Eli was moving, and it would be very simple to win over, but he didn't expect this eunuch to not eat this set, and he was unmoved in the face of huge interests, and he could almost be called oil and salt... In order to leave Sizhou for meritorious service, he dared to conspire with Wang Zhizhou to attack the idea of the ancestral tomb, of course, Gonggong Hai is not a person without courage and courage. But he also knew that things were different from the previous plan, and it became very complicated after Li Youheng stepped in.

Complexity means that the signs of the East Window incident have increased, and we all know that the more people in the know, the greater the leakage may be. Therefore, Gonggong Hai's idea has quietly changed from making great achievements to protecting himself, and his goal has changed, as long as he stabilizes, why bother to conspire with Li You again?

Moreover, Gonggong Hai has no sense of trust in Li You, and he does not dare to take risks with the tiger out of caution. He was not afraid of cooperating with Wang Zhizhou, who had little power, but he was afraid of cooperating with Li You.

The reason is very simple, Wang Zhizhou is weak and must rely on him as a eunuch guarding the tomb to come forward to prove and endorse, and Li You, who has a deep background and is very famous, is different, even if he is forced to take the initiative to cooperate with him due to the situation, he still has the capital to abandon him at any time.

Maybe after Master Li took something useful out of his mouth, he betrayed him in the blink of an eye, and added a sum to his own merit book, and Gonggong Hai, who was mixed up from the palace, was of course very wary of this kind of thing. In other words, when Lee Woo has no sense of dependence on him and lacks trust in each other, this is the most lethal factor.

All in all, Grandpa Hai is very self-aware and knows how to protect himself safely. And the goal is flexible, the positioning is accurate, the thinking is clear, the will is firm, and will not be blindly coerced and lured by Lord Li.

Li You couldn't help but sigh: "I hope you don't regret missing the opportunity." ”

After saying that, he didn't say more, got up from the chair and walked out, and then Grandpa Hai was strange and asked, "Where does Master Li want to go?" ”

"This official went to see Wang Zhizhou and said a few words to him."

Gonggong Hai also stood up, "I also want to meet Wang Zhizhou and go together." ”

Li You turned around and said unceremoniously: "This official wants to talk to Lord Wang about your affairs, but you should avoid it!" ”

Before Father-in-law Hai understood, he subconsciously said, "What are you talking about me?" ”

"I want to tell him, why did I suddenly appear today? Why did the official hide his whereabouts in Neng Xuyi? Why did this official dare to arrest him and imprison him without fear? How did the officer know that there might be something wrong with him... There are many, many questions, and Lord Wang must be confused. ”

Grandpa Hai's face changed slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's nothing, the official just wants to tell Lord Wang that all this is not a coincidence, it is all thanks to Gonggong Hai! It was Gonggong Hai who told the official that there was a situation today, it was Gonggong Hai who asked Xuyi Zhixian to assist the official in concealing his whereabouts and lent it to the archers, and it was Gonggong Hai who supported the official and dared to arrest the official of the Zhengliupin Imperial Court..."Li You said lightly: "So it is better for Gonggong Hai not to be present, so as not to disturb Lord Wang's thoughts, and take a rest here for a while." ”

If Li You said this to Wang Zhizhou, would Wang Zhizhou believe it? Most of them will.

Li You's appearance on the embankment today is too weird, and his behavior is too bold and out of line. If you are very familiar with Li You's style, you won't be surprised, Li You is normal like this. But Wang Zhizhou couldn't think of this, he probably guessed that Li You was fearless.

Why is there any fear? There must be some news! So who gave the news to Lee You? Li You himself said that it was Gonggong Hai!

Gonggong Hai stood for a moment, to be honest, he was also very strange to Li You today, and for a moment he thought that it might be Wang Zhizhou who betrayed him, and planned to put the responsibility for the embankment collapse on his head, and then swallow the great merit of saving the tomb with Li You. However, it was only after Li You arrested Wang Zhizhou and tortured the five members of the Ma family that he gave up this idea.

Gonggong Hai is worried, so Wang Zhizhou will probably be suspicious of him as well? If there is any misunderstanding because of Li You's slander out of thin air, it doesn't matter if he bites him, he is not afraid of Wang Zhizhou.

But what if Li You and Wang Zhizhou join forces to bite him together? At that time, it was two to one, who did the court believe? There must always be a person responsible for the collapse of the embankment... Thinking of this, Gong Hai Khan was like rain, and with infinite strength, he forcibly separated the sturdy sergeant guarding him, and stepped forward to Li You and said, "Lord Li said it well! There are no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. Ming people don't say secret words, since I can cooperate with Wang Zhizhou, why can't I cooperate with Lord Li? Now no matter what, Zuling is in danger, and you and I need to join forces! ”

Two to one, and it was the combination he wanted the most, Master Li smiled proudly.
