Chapter 157: Trickery
Li Zhen is calm by nature, at least on the surface, no one has ever seen Li Zhen behave in front of the public, but now he will behave like this, the officials in the hall were shocked, and they couldn't help but be curious, and they all stared at Su Gan Chengji, secretly guessing what Su Gan Chengji said to Li Zhen, and everyone was stunned for a while, even the old and serious Fang Xuanling was the same.
"No way, it's absolutely impossible!" Li Zhen muttered a few words with a pale face, and then suddenly raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "Come on, take the prisoner down, strictly guard, no one is allowed to visit in private without a holy decree!" ”
Li Zhen gave the order, and the servants who were spontaneously stunned came back to their senses, hesitantly rushed forward, and set up the Chengji of Su Gan, who had been beaten to a bloody pulp, and was about to go to the back hall, but at this moment, Li Ke, the king of Wu, suddenly shouted: "Slow! Li Ke was the chief judge, and since he spoke, the servants slowed down and stood in the hall with Su Gan Chengji, waiting for Li Ke's order.
Don't believe it, Li Ke doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe that Su Gan Chengji can tell Li Zhen the truth, besides, even if Su Gan Chengji says it, it's just a confession of the prince's house, and there is something strange, everyone knows that the prince is the mastermind behind Su Gan Chengji, but there is no evidence, how can Li Zhen be shocked by such a news, in Li Ke's opinion, there must be something strange here, but Li Ke can't see through which play Li Zhen is playing for a while.
"Eighth brother, what the hell is going on?" Li Ke frowned, looked at Su Gan Chengji, looked at Li Zhen again, and asked in a deep voice.
Li Zhen just turned pale, shook his head and didn't answer, Li Ke saw this, so he had to turn his gaze to Su Gan Chengji, and said in shock: "Su Gan Chengji, you are so bold, you don't recruit from the truth!" ”
Su Gan Chengji's pale face was already flushed at the moment because he was beaten on the board, the green tendons on his forehead were beating non-stop, a pair of bloodshot eyes stared at Li Zhen, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, his body writhed non-stop, but he was unable to break free from the clamps of several officials around him, and his fierce appearance seemed to resent Li Zhen for revealing the truth.
Hey, it's done! Li Zhen was proud in his heart for a while, without him, in fact, Su Gan Chengji never said anything, Li Zhen blocked everyone's sight for a moment, and quickly reached out and flicked it on the throat of Su Gan Chengji, just like that, it has hurt the vocal cords of Su Gan Chengji a lot, and he didn't want to speak for two or three days, at this time, seeing the excited look of Su Gan Chengji, Li Zhen knew that the matter had become more than half, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was full of grief and said: "Third brother, Fang Gong, this matter is important, This case will be tried here first, and the Sugan Chengji will be escorted down first, hey, why is it too anxious to fry each other! ”
Public opinion! Li Ke faintly guessed Li Zhen's intentions, although he didn't understand why Li Zhen did this, but Li Ke didn't want to break Li Zhen's intentions, his eyes rolled a few times, and he shouted: "Hold it down, no holy decree, no one is allowed to visit this person in private!" Seeing that Li Ke had already issued an order, the officials who had been on call for a long time flocked to drag the struggling Su Gan Chengji down, and settled down in prison without mentioning it.
"Fang Gong, eighth brother, this case has some eyebrows now, should I go to the palace to report to my father and the emperor?" After De Gan Chengji was escorted down, Li Ke smiled lightly and asked casually.
Fang Xuanling frowned, did not speak, just nodded noncommittally, Li Zhen seemed to have not recovered from the horror at this time, just stood there, did not even say anything, in view of this, Li Ke had to walk down the hall, paced in front of Li Zhen, and asked with a concerned look: "Eighth brother, are you okay?" ”
"Ah, no, it's okay, let the third brother smile, hehe, the little brother is fine." Li Zhen showed a wry smile and shook her head.
"That's good, that's good." Li Ke said with a smile full of satisfaction: "Eighth brother, do you need to report to my father about today's matter?" ”
Although Li Ke said that he was asking whether he wanted to report to Old Man Li, he was actually asking Li Zhen what his plans were, Li Zhen could hear this, smiled, and said with an informed look: "Third brother, now that the case has just started, it has not yet achieved results, and it seems that there is no need to alarm my father and his old man." ”
"It's okay, it's getting late today, so let's get here first, and then I'll continue the trial tomorrow." Li Ke nodded knowingly, looked sideways at the silent Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Gong, what do you always think?" ”
As long as the trial time can be delayed, Fang Xuanling doesn't care, and when he saw Li Ke asking at this time, he just nodded calmly and said, "It's okay." ”
Seeing that Fang Xuanling had no objections, Li Ke nodded, walked back to the hall, picked up the shocking wood, slapped it suddenly, and said loudly: "Retreat!" Fang Xuanling didn't stay long, but he arched his hand at Li Ke and the brothers and left, Li Ke walked down the hall, stuck to Li Zhen's body, and said in a low voice: "Eighth brother, today's matter ......."
Ha, it's time to explore the truth, hehe, we don't believe that your kid can stand it. Li Zhen understood Li Ke's intention to ask this, but he didn't speak immediately, hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and then said in Li Ke's ear: "Third brother, Su Gan Chengji revealed the whereabouts of a person, but I don't know whether it's true or not, how about the younger brother send someone to check it out, and then report back to the third brother?" ”
"Oh?" When Li Ke heard this, he was stunned, his eyes turned several times quickly, and then he hesitated to ask: "Who is it?" ”
"Wang Ji!" Li Zhen said her name softly, but Li Ke was shocked, and she almost blurted out, looking at Li Zhen with a suspicious face, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
The old man sent Fang Xuanling to participate in the trial, and it was clear that he was planning to delay the change, Li Zhen already knew this in his heart, but Li Zhen didn't want to go at the pace of the old man, like that, Li Zhen and other brothers would inevitably be degraded, so that the contradiction detonated in advance became Li Zhen's only choice, and the most critical person in the arsenal case of Wang Ji is a trump card in Li Zhen's hand, once this card is played, all forces will be greatly moved, and things will inevitably be big, so as to make a big deal in this way, It's possible to fish in troubled waters, it's better than being led by the nose by the old man, isn't it? This is also the purpose of Li Zhen's performance of this scene today, around this time Su Gan Chengji has been temporarily sealed, only Wang Ji came out, Su Gan Chengji can not open the mouth is no big problem, of course, this card Li Zhen can play, but can not play by himself, but Li Ke, the chief judge, is the best beater, as for whether Li Ke will take the bait, Li Zhen is not very sure, can only wait for Li Ke to make a choice.
Li Ke is a shrewd person, he can't trust Li Zhen at all, not to mention that there are a lot of flaws in Li Zhen's series of words, how can he really be deceived by Li Zhen, but Wang Ji is in Li Zhen's hands Li Ke knows, at this time, listening to Li Zhende means that he intends to hand over Wang Ji, and will hand over Wang Ji's head to Su Gan Chengji's confession, his heart can't help but move, secretly thinking about Li Zhen's intentions, just let him think about what he thinks, but he can't think of what Li Zhen's intentions are, so as to whether to accept Li Zhen's kindness, Li Ke will inevitably make some difficulties - after getting Wang Ji, the case can be solved immediately, the prince will inevitably fight back in an all-round way, the court situation will inevitably be chaotic, and things are promising, this is in line with Li Ke's strategic concept, but the problem is that in the case of Li Zhen's intentions, Li Ke was worried that he would be used as a gun by Li Zhen, so he hesitated for a while, did not speak for a long time, just stared at Li Zhen, and wanted to see some clues from Li Zhen's face.
Disappointed, still disappointed, Li Ke stared at Li Zhen for a long time, but he still couldn't see Li Zhen's true intentions, although he was heartbroken for Wang Ji in his heart, he was not yet dizzy, and muttered: "Is this true? ”
Ha, this kid is tempted! Li Zhen's heart moved, but her face was full of solemnity and said: "Third brother, junior brother doesn't know whether what Su Gan Chengji said is true or false, and he has to send someone to check Fang Zhi." ”
"Oh." Li Ke nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Eighth brother, in your opinion, when will there be quasi-news?" ”
"It's hard to say, the day after tomorrow at the earliest, if everything is correct, I'm afraid there will be news early in the morning after tomorrow, I don't know what the third brother thinks?" Li Zhen shook her head lightly and said.
"The day after tomorrow?" Li Ke muttered, frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, if there is news, the eighth brother can inform the elder brother, so can it be done?" ”
"Cheng, if there is news, the younger brother will not forget the third brother, and he will send someone to the third brother." Li Zhen laughed, didn't say anything more, politely arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, and went straight to the palace......
The study of the Yue Wangfu is still as quiet as ever, Mo Li and Na Long sit opposite each other, silently playing Go, except for the occasional crisp sound of the chess pieces hitting on the chessboard, there is no noise in the huge study, but this quiet is broken by a burst of laughter, accompanied by the laughter is the owner of the Yue Wangfu Li Zhen: "The two gentlemen are so leisurely, this king is roasted on the fire." ”
Mo Li pushed the chessboard away with a smile, got up and said, "Your Highness is so happy, think that the matter must have been done?" ”
"That's not already, hehe, the third child is very good, how can he be so easy to deceive." Li Zhen waved his hand disappreciatively, walked to the chessboard and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Ha, Mr. Mo has a lot of advantages in this game of chess, it seems that he is going to win, what, are you interested in playing a game with this king." ”
Li Zhen's chess skills are extremely clever, and he has used this to bully the two strategists on weekdays, Mo Li and Na Long are not Li Zhen's opponents together, and they have lost a lot of time just because of the color head, and they have long been unwilling to play chess with Li Zhen anymore.
Hey, if you don't go down, you won't go down, grandma's, what's the big deal, let's go down with our left hand and right hand another day. Li Zhen saw that the two strategists hung up the war-free card, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, as much as he could itch, but he didn't have a rut, so he had to find a chair and sit down, Li Zhen described the process of today's court trial in detail, and said with a smile at the end: "Two gentlemen, a certain has stabbed the matter of Wang Ji to the third child, but this thing is very slippery, but I am afraid that I may not be willing to take over, and what should I do now?" ”
"Why should the prince worry about His Royal Highness King Wu not moving, just hand over the people, and now the arsenal case is not very important, the East Palace has already begun to move, just add another handful of firewood." After listening to Li Zhen's briefing, Na Long said quietly.
"Oh? What's the news from the other side of the East Palace? Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked.
Na Long calmly reported: "Early this morning, news came from the inside line of the East Palace, not only the guards of the East Palace have begun to adjust, but also the personnel of the prince's several secret villages outside the city have also begun to move in the city, and besides, Hou Junji has not moved much on the surface, but he has also begun to gather strength secretly. ”
"Well, it looks like the storm is coming, what's going on with the fourth and sixth heads?" Li Zhen nodded with a solemn expression.
Na Long frowned, and replied quickly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei has taken a leave of absence today, saying that he is sick at home, the palace is fully guarded, isolated from inside and outside, and it is impossible to contact the inner line. ”
Hmm, damn, this sixth is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, damn, where is this kid from? Li Zhen thought of the sneaky behavior of Li Su, the king of Shu, and immediately had a headache, I really didn't understand what role Li Su would play in this big storm, although this person did not have much power in Beijing, and he had behaved extremely low-key since returning to Beijing, but Li Zhen decided that things would not be as simple as they seemed on the surface, and always felt that there was something strange in it, but he couldn't see through the layers of fog behind the sixth child, and he couldn't help but feel irritable, got up, paced back and forth in the study, and secretly figured out the true face of the sixth child.
"Lord, His Royal Highness the King of Shu has arrived." Just as Li Zhen was thinking hard, housekeeper Liu Dequan hurriedly walked to the door of the study and reported loudly.
Oh, damn, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, this kid came to Lao Tzu at this time, he must not be very kind! Li Zhen stopped, looked at the two strategists, waved his hand and said, "I know, this king will come out to greet him." Liu Dequan respectfully agreed to the promise, and hurriedly ran out, busy with preparations without mentioning it.
"Your Highness, the King of Shu must have come here to probe the wind, His Highness can deal with it, no need to say more." Mo Li saw Li Zhen looking at him, and said something with a smile.
Uh-huh, that's right. Li Zhen nodded knowingly, didn't ask any more, strode out of the study, and rushed to the gate of the palace.
The day in March is already getting hotter, if it weren't for the rain in the past few days, I am afraid that the two single clothes will not be able to wear, but standing at the gate of the Yue Wangfu Xia Li Su, the king of Shu, is dressed in a robe, wrapped tightly, with a sick face, and the waist is also bent, looking like he is struggling to stand, and he does not pay attention to the warm greetings of the people under the Yue Wangfu, just standing silently with a bitter face, as if he doesn't care about everything around him, that sloppy look, which made Li Zhen, who greeted the door, startled, and hurriedly asked: "Sixth brother, What's wrong with you? ”
"Ah, it's the eighth brother, alas, since my brother was injured, this body is not very good, and he will be sick when he returns to Beijing, this is just right, thinking about the eighth brother, I am thinking about coming out and walking around, and the eighth brother will not be unwelcome." Seeing Li Zhen coming to greet him, Li Yu spread his hands with a wry smile, and said weakly.
Hurt? Sick? Damn, scammers? How could Li Zhen not know that Li Su had not suffered any injuries at all, and at this time, seeing that Li Su was going to pretend to be sick, he didn't bother to break it, so he smiled and said: "Sixth brother said that, you can come, the younger brother is deeply honored, go, sit in the house." Li Su smiled, didn't say much, and Li Zhen walked side by side into the second hall, each sat down, and his own subordinates served freshly brewed fragrant tea, neither of them spoke first, just sat opposite each other, and at the end, Li Su took the lead in holding his breath, sighed and said: "Alas, the eighth brother is now proud of the spring breeze, and it seems that the sixth brother is only left to eat and wait for death, hehe." ”
Li Zhen raised her eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: "The sixth brother is joking, the younger brother is just busy blindly, with the talent of the sixth brother, the father will definitely reuse it, this little brother knows it in his heart." ”
"Hehe, my father is just afraid that he has forgotten that there is such an unscrupulous son as his brother, so I won't talk about this." Li Su's face was gloomy and he waved his hand and said: "Eighth brother, now is the day of high wind and waves, and it is the time to see the true colors of heroes. ”
Hah, got to the point? So fast? Damn, I thought you kid was going to go around a few more times, I'm really impatient! Li Zhen despised the sixth brother in her heart, but her face was indifferent, she didn't have any expression, and said very calmly: "What the sixth brother said, this case was presided over by the third brother, and now it is still a mess, how to solve the case, and besides, even if the case is solved, it is also the credit of the third brother, and it has nothing to do with the younger brother." ”
A hint of sharpness flashed in Li Su's eyes, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Haha......, the eighth brother likes to laugh, although the elder brother is not talented, but he also knows that now the chaos has become a mess, the chaos is coming, what does it matter if the case is not solved, hehe, the Ming people don't say secret words, the elder brother took the liberty to come today, he is planning to come to the eighth brother, I don't know if the eighth brother is willing to look at the brotherhood and pull a certain brother who is not a weapon." ”
Well? Li Zhen really didn't expect the sixth child to come so straightforwardly to make such a move, and she was really confused for a while, she didn't understand which line the sixth child was connected to the wrong one, so clearly saying nonsense that no one would believe, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, but she didn't bother to say much, she just looked at Li Su with a smile.
"Eighth brother, what my brother says is from the bottom of my heart, if the eighth brother doesn't believe it, my brother should swear to God." Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak, Li Zhen Huoran stood up and cursed in an impassioned tone.
Speaking of which, this is the second time Li Zhen has shown his loyalty, but Li Zhen still does not intend to accept Li Su's "kindness", in Li Zhen's opinion, Li Su is too hypocritical, and there are countless mysteries hidden behind it, what kind of good brother is such a person, just a weasel and other characters, but well, at the moment of the coming chaos, Li Zhen has no need to tear his face with him, so he smiled and said: "Sixth brother doesn't have to be like this, you and I are brothers, we should work together to tide over the difficulties, right?" ”
"Haha, that's, that's." Li Su sat down with the stick on the ground, and said with a smile on his face: "Eighth brother said well, you and I are brothers, and we should be sincerely united, hehe." At this point, he paused suddenly, looked left and right, his face was full of strangeness, but he stopped speaking.
"Wait for all of them to stand down!" Li Zhen understood the intention of Li Su's move, and also wanted to hear what the sixth child wanted to say, so he smiled and waved his hand to order all the maids waiting on the left and right to retreat.
After everyone had withdrawn, Li Su mysteriously approached and said in a low voice: "Eighth brother, do you know that the East Palace is going to do it, it is said that in the past few days, hehe, this time it will be lively, how to deal with the eighth brother Although the command is, the elder brother's one hundred and eighty catties will be handed over to the eighth brother." ”
Damn, what is this kid doing? Hey, the boss is really stupid, he hasn't done it yet, the whole world knows it, there is no reason to be invincible, but this old man can learn such news without leaving the house, it seems that someone must be there in the back, grandma's, who will it be? Third? Not like! Fourth? It's not like,, what the hell! Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, but there was a look of horror on his face and said: "Sixth brother, this is not a joke, if you want to call a copy of ginseng, it is a big crime, the younger brother didn't hear anything, the sixth brother can't talk nonsense anymore." ”
Li Zhen is pretending to be confused, but Li Zhen is helpless, seeing that Li Zhen is not leaking, he hurriedly changed the topic with a smile and said: "Haha, my brother is vain, I am vain, I should be punished, I should be punished, hehe, ah, by the way, before my brother came, I heard that Su Gan Chengji opened his mouth, that's good, hehe, the one in the palace should not be able to sit still, the eighth brother has to beware of some people jumping over the wall in a hurry, if the eighth brother does not dislike it, but wherever it is useful to get the elder brother, although the opening is, the elder brother decided to advance and retreat with the eighth brother." ”
Bullshit, grandma, if anyone believes you, it won't be far from bad luck! How could Li Zhen believe Li Su's, but after thinking about it, if he could take this opportunity to find out the person behind Li Su, it would not be impossible to fight with Li Su, and said with a smile: "Okay, Brother Cheng can afford it, then you and my brothers can work together." ”
"Okay, this is my brother." Li Su stood up excitedly, and said in an excited tone: "Eighth brother, my brother has not brought many people into the Beijing Division this time, and he is only in his early five hundreds, but all of them are good men, as long as the eighth brother gives an order, even if there is a sea of fire and sword mountain in front of him, my brother dares to lead someone to break through!" ”
"Little brother, thank you Sixth Brother, if something happens, my brother will definitely not forget Sixth Brother." Li Zhen also pretended to be heroic.
"It's not too early, my brother has to go back to the house to prepare first, once there is a change, although the eighth brother sends someone to report, my brother will arrive immediately and say goodbye!" Li Su was refreshed, and as soon as he finished speaking, he didn't give Li Zhen a chance to open his mouth to stay, so he got up and went out......
"What does the sixth want to do?" After sending Li Su away, Li Zhen hurriedly returned to the study, explained the matter in detail, and asked with a frown.
Not only did Li Zhen not understand Li Zhen's strange behavior, but the two great strategists were also a little inexplicable, and they each buried their heads in thinking about it for a while, but they still didn't understand, and at the end it was Na Long who spoke first: "If something is abnormal, it is a demon, His Royal Highness the King of Shu must have a deep meaning behind this move, His Royal Highness must not be guarded against, and now that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has publicly shown goodwill, His Royal Highness might as well accept it, and there is nothing wrong with the plan, but it is not impossible to ...... Is this possible? ”
"Well, according to what Mr. said, this king wants to see what kind of goods are behind the sixth standing guy!" Li Zhen frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.
