"The minister did not dare to take credit, it was only thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and decisiveness that he was able to achieve this merit." Li Canghai bowed, he didn't care about the credit.

After a pause, Li Canghai said: "Your Majesty, regarding the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' conspiracy case, the minister has made new progress. ”

"Oh? What did you find? Li Longji was a little surprised, didn't he say that he had been in a coma all day? How did he investigate?

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister found out that Liu Tong, the assassin of Dugi Dao, secretly colluded with the traitor, and it was the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' in the court!" Li Canghai's gaze stayed on Liu Tong and said word by word.

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a stone was thrown into the calm lake, and everyone's eyes looked at Liu Tong at the same time.

Li Longji frowned, speaking of the traitor, he was introduced, but throughout the process, Liu Tong was indeed loyal. In addition, Liu Tong cried bitterly afterwards, saying that he had been deceived and was willing to die to thank God, Li Longji felt that he was not lying, so he was not convicted.

Now, Li Canghai actually said that he colluded with the traitor, which made Li Longji hesitate.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" Liu Tong threw himself on his knees and shouted.

"Li Canghai, if you frame the ministers of the court in public, do you know what the consequences are?" Yang Guozhong suddenly walked out and asked sharply.

"I'm not blaming him, I'm exposing him." Li Canghai said indifferently.

"Nonsense! Lord Liu, as the assassin of Dugi Dao, is a feudal official, how can he have anything to do with the traitor? You're framing your loyal servants! Yang Guozhong said with a righteous face.

"Lord Yang, how do you know that I am framing him?" Li Canghai asked rhetorically.

"Hmph, Liu Tong is dedicated to protecting the saint. He is a loyal servant, and you have seen these things with your own eyes. Let alone. Ying Yangwei's infiltration into the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu' was done by General Ying Yangwei, and His Majesty has also investigated this matter clearly. It has nothing to do with Liu Tong, you say that he colluded with the traitor, what is it if he is not framed? Yang Guozhong said.

Li Longji stroked his beard and frowned: "What Yang Qing said is extremely true, Liu Aiqing is loyal to me, and I believe that he was deceived by others. Li Canghai, you say that he is related to the traitor, what evidence do you have? ”

"Your Majesty, Ying Yangwei is Liu Tong's army. How could a mere lieutenant secretly replace a guard under his nose? Li Canghai said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! Captain Yingyang Wei was the most trusted person of the ministers, but he didn't want him to be a 'reverse scale Xuanwu' person, he used the trust of the ministers to secretly mix the traitors into it, these ministers did not know, I hope Your Majesty will see it! Liu Tong shouted that he was wronged.

"Oh? You really don't know? Li Canghai asked indifferently.

"I don't know." Liu Tong glanced at him hatefully and gritted his teeth.

"Well, since you don't know. Then let me tell you one by one. Li Canghai took a step forward and said coldly: "You are indeed hiding very deeply, if it weren't for Liang Xiu's death, I wouldn't have suspected you." ”

"Liang Xiu committed suicide in fear of sin. What does this have to do with me? Liu Tong glared and said angrily.

"If Liang Xiu really committed suicide in fear of sin, there were many opportunities on the way from Luoyang to Tongzhou. Why do you have to wait until you get to Tongzhou Prison before you want to commit suicide? Li Canghai looked at Liu Tong indifferently, he sneered and continued: "What's more. Liang Xiu was coerced to be used by the 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', after he was captured. I have talked to him, and Liang Xiu already wants to make meritorious service to atone for his sins, so when I heard the news of his suicide, I became suspicious of you. ”

"Liang Xiu committed suicide in fear of crime, this matter is known to everyone in the Assassin Mansion, and the body has also been examined by the body, which is conclusive evidence. When Master Li said this, he suspected that Liang Xiu was killed by me? Liu Tong said with a gloomy face.

"Based on speculation alone, you can conclude that Liu Tong is related to 'Reverse Scale Xuanwu', which is too arbitrary." Li Longji frowned.

"Yes, these are just inferences. However, I would like to ask Lord Liu, why did a felony like Liang Xiu have the opportunity to commit suicide? After discovering that he had committed suicide, why did he not leave his body but burn it? As an assassin, Lord Liu should be extremely familiar with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and he should be no stranger to imprisoning felons and preserving evidence of corpses, right? Li Canghai's sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he said indifferently.

"Liang Xiu's suicide was a dereliction of duty on the part of the jailer, as for the burning of the body, it was only because it was hot at that time that the body was difficult to preserve, so in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, he took it upon himself to burn the body." Liu Tong retorted.

Li Canghai frowned, Liu Tong's words put all the blame on the others, plus the body had already been destroyed, no matter what he said at this time, Liu Tong could deny it.

"You are indeed cautious, but you have neglected the most important point." Li Canghai said lightly.

Liu Tong was stunned, he looked at Li Canghai and frowned: "What did I ignore?" ”

Li Canghai took out a piece of paper from between his sleeves and said, "This is the autopsy report made by Tongzhou, which records the cause of Liang Xiu's death in detail, please take a look at it." ”

A eunuch walked over, took the autopsy sheet from him, and presented it to Li Longji.

"What does it mean that the throat was cut in front of him and he died of suffocation?" Li Longji looked at the autopsy list and said with some puzzlement.

"Back to Your Majesty, this shows that Liang Xiu hanged himself, and this is exactly where the suspicion lies." Li Canghai bowed and said.

Li Longji carefully looked at the autopsy records, but did not find any suspicions, and he frowned and said, "Where are the suspicions?" I don't think there's anything out of the ordinary in this autopsy? “

"Back to Your Majesty, the throat is cut in front, this is where the suspicion lies." Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Li Canghai explained: "But all those who hang themselves have their heads drooping, and when they hang themselves, because the center of gravity is forward, the back of the neck will be broken, resulting in suffocation and death." However, the cause of Liang Xiu's death was a broken throat, and the reason why the minister suspected Liang Xiu's death was because it was impossible for a person who hanged himself to commit suicide, so it can be concluded that Liang Xiu did not hang himself, but after being twisted his neck, he disguised himself as a suicide! ”

Liu Tong's face turned ugly, and he screamed, "Impossible! How can you know about Tongzhou when you are far away in Zhengyang? This autopsy must have been faked! ”

Li Canghai looked at him coldly, a smile of pity rose at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "I am indeed far away in Zhengyang, but it is precisely because of this that I can investigate secretly without being discovered by you." ”

Li Longji's face was obviously a little angry, he waved his hand and threw the autopsy sheet over, and said in a low voice: "See for yourself whether this autopsy list is true or false?" ”

Liu Tong knelt on the ground and took the autopsy sheet, and looked at it carefully, which really made him stunned on the spot. (To be continued.) )
