A sneer rose at the corner of Li Qi's mouth, and he said, "This king has acted according to the plan, and the next thing is up to Li Canghai." ā€

After a pause, Li Qi glanced at the black-robed people with masks on their faces, and said lightly: "Pass the order, if there are those who surrender, they can avoid death." If you resist, you won't be killed! ā€

However, he said that after Yang Guozhong escaped from Yuanjue Temple, he went around most of Chang'an City alone before returning to his own door.

But before he could jump into his house, many officers and soldiers suddenly rushed around him, and quickly surrounded Yang Guozhong.

Yang Guozhong was shocked, but he quickly calmed down, stared at those officers and soldiers and shouted: "You are so bold, even the prime minister's mansion is under siege? Don't leave quickly! ā€

"There's no Lord Yang here, it's just thieves who steal the elixir." Li Canghai parted the crowd, walked over, and said lightly.

Yang Guozhong stared at Li Canghai with resentful eyes and said, "Master Li, what do you mean by this?" ā€

"King Jianning came to report that he had found a thief stealing the elixir of life in Yuanjue Temple. After the thief escaped from the encirclement, he fled all the way here. Unexpectedly, this thief is none other than Lord Yang! Li Canghai said with a smile.

Yang Guozhong's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "Li Canghai, you are spewing blood!" I will go to the Holy One and accuse you of your false accusations! ā€

"Oh? That's what I mean. In that case, let's go and meet the Holy One! Li Canghai said lightly.

Late at night, the Imperial Palace of Daming Palace.

Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, while the civil and military officials stood solemnly on either side.

In the middle of the main hall, Li Canghai and Yang Guozhong stand on both sides.

Yang Guozhong's face was gloomy, and Li Canghai looked indifferent.

"Li Aiqing, why did you ask Lux to call the civil and military officials late at night?" Li Longji frowned and asked.

Before Li Canghai could speak, Yang Guozhong suddenly knelt down in front of him, beat his chest and cried: "Your Majesty! Li Canghai framed the ministers, please ask Your Majesty to make the decisions for the ministers! ā€

"What's going on?" Li Longji asked.

Yang Guozhong said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister went out to visit friends today, and he will return at night." But when he returned home, he was surrounded by Li Canghai, who framed his ministers for stealing His Majesty's elixir. Not only that, but he also made people surround the minister's mansion! Li Canghai relied on His Majesty's trust in him, framed the courtiers, and acted recklessly, hoping that His Majesty would be the master of the ministers! ā€

Li Longji frowned, stared at Li Canghai and said, "Li Aiqing, what Yang Aiqing said is true?" ā€

Li Canghai glanced at Yang Guozhong and said calmly: "Your Majesty, what Yang Xiang said is one-sided. The minister is loyal to His Majesty, and the same is true for the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty asked the minister to arrest the person who stole the elixir of life, and the minister already had an eyebrow. ā€

Hearing the words elixir, Li Longji's eyes instantly lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Oh? Who is so bold as to snatch my elixir? Where is the elixir? ā€

"Back to Your Majesty, the person who stole the elixir of life is none other than Yang Guozhong!" Li Canghai is colorful.

As soon as these words came out, the ministers, who had not yet fully awakened, woke up in an instant.

Li Longji was even more stunned.

Yang Guozhong looked panicked, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Li Canghai is spewing people in blood! The minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth! How dare you steal the elixir of life? This is obviously because he couldn't find the elixir of life, and deliberately framed the old minister! Your Majesty, you must make the decision for the old minister! ā€

As he spoke, Yang Guozhong kowtowed to Li Longji.

Li Longji looked at Yang Guozhong, then turned his gaze to Li Canghai, and asked, "Li Canghai, you said that Yang Aiqing stole the elixir, but what evidence do you have?" ā€

"Your Majesty, the evidence is in his arms now!" Li Canghai said solemnly.

When Li Longji heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, search your body!" ā€

As soon as the words fell, two guards rushed in, and they searched Yang Guozhong's body without saying anything.

After a while, a token, a money bag, and a gem were found from Yang Guozhong's body.

Yang Guozhong looked at the tray with a panicked expression and put it on the dragon table in front of Li Longji, and a layer of fine sweat instantly rose on his forehead.

Li Longji picked up those things and looked at them carefully, frowned and said, "These are just ordinary things, where is there any elixir?" ā€

Yang Guozhong let out a long breath, secretly calling for luck in his heart.

Li Canghai glanced at Yang Guozhong, then at the gem in Li Longji's hand, and suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty! This gem was brought out by the minister from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and it was originally placed in the same place with the elixir, but now how can this gem be left? ā€

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he suddenly chuckled in his heart and shouted that it was not good.

Sure enough, Li Longji took the gem and asked Li Canghai, "Li Aiqing, you said that this gem is put together with the elixir?" ā€

Li Canghai nodded and said, "The minister doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty!" This gem is an extraterrestrial meteorite, and the elixir has this gem, so it is not damaged! The minister brought it out together with the elixir of life, but it was stolen by thieves in Shouling Village! But now only this meteorite remains...... Could it be that this elixir of life has already been eaten? ā€

As he spoke, Li Canghai set his eyes on Yang Guozhong.

Not only him, but Li Longji and his ministers also looked at him.

"Yang Aiqing, can you give me an explanation? Why is this meteorite on you? Where is the elixir? Li Longji's tone was a little cold, and he stared at Yang Guozhong and asked.

Yang Guozhong had cold sweat on his forehead, and he hurriedly touched the ground with his forehead, and said, "Your Majesty, minister...... The minister is wronged! This gem was given by a friend of the minister, not an extraterrestrial meteorite. This is all Li Canghai deliberately confusing the holy hearing, framing the old minister, hoping that His Majesty will see it! ā€

Li Longji frowned, compared to Li Canghai, he still believed in Yang Guozhong.

After pondering for a while, Li Longji spoke: "Li Canghai, what evidence do you have to prove what you said? ā€

Li Canghai seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister naturally has evidence to prove it. ā€

As he spoke, Li Canghai clapped his hands.

With Li Canghai's clapping, Lu Jitong and two guards walked into the main hall carrying a mercenary.

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.

Li Longji was also confused.

"Li Aiqing, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence of what the minister said!" Li Canghai pointed to the mercenary and said.

Li Longji frowned and said, "This is just a military mercenary, how can it be regarded as evidence?" ā€

Li Canghai's expression was calm, and he said indifferently: "Your Majesty doesn't know that this mercenary was brought out of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. When the minister entered the imperial tomb, he encountered some strange things, as long as someone entered the imperial tomb and touched the mechanism, those mercenaries would act like living creatures.
