Chapter 255: The True Cause of the Case

"The officials really suffered yesterday, and now that I am here, I will definitely be able to make the officials go out safe and sound."

Looking at He Chuxi, who was originally dignified and decent, now looked at it with teary eyes, Li Wensong was a little embarrassed to treat him coldly, and only asked lightly, "I am bright and upright, so naturally I don't need to be afraid, but why did you come over suddenly?" ”

"It's just one or two small things, I stayed here for one night, which makes you worried, but Lord Zhao is aware of everything, and after asking today, he will definitely be able to wash away my grievances and let me out, why do you want to run this trip in vain."

Although Li Wensong was very moved by the willingness to share weal and woe in tribulation, it was just that Li Niangzi came over rashly, but she did not consider it. If you let others know that you are in prison, and you have to rely on the women in the family to save you, wouldn't you be laughing and generous.

In this way, the back and forth of one grievance completely offset all of Li Wensong's soft attitude.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Wensong's suddenly changed face, and she was also a little bitter in her heart. Hua Chushi had also persuaded herself not to act rashly before, but she still couldn't sit still, and found someone to come over and pretend to be a witness without authorization, just to be able to pick Li Wensong out of the yamen as soon as possible, but she didn't expect him to appreciate it at all.

"What are you talking about? As the eldest lady of the official family, I should naturally think more about the safety of the officials, even if it may be a superfluous move, but at least it represents my sincerity to the officials. ”

Mrs. Li said as she sorted out her emotions and returned to the appearance of the gentle, noble, and undesecrated lady of the Li family.

Su Jingye found that there was Li Niangzi and them in the courtyard, so he quickly dodged to avoid their sight, and in a blink of an eye, he hid behind a small arch not far from the taboo room, just enough to hear their conversation clearly.

And with the cover of a green bamboo next to the small arch, Su Jingye could occasionally poke his eyes out a few times, and the expressions of Li Niangzi and Li Wensong when they spoke just now all fell into his eyes at a glance.

Su Jingye turned around and admired very much that there could be a woman like Li Niangzi in the world, who would never abandon her husband and have been consistent for many years.

At the same time, he also lamented that Li Wensong did not know the blessings in the midst of blessings, and only thought about the side door, ignoring all the tenderness around him. In addition, Su Jingye had some other thoughts to judge Li Niangzi's stubbornness and stubbornness, and he actually threw himself on it, and never looked back.

Such three emotions erupted side by side in his heart, and it made Su Jingye accidentally peek at the most real way he got along with her, Coco Li, Sun Yu, and Li Niangzi on weekdays.

"Well, that's the case, today Mrs. Li came to find the official early in the morning, saying that she found a witness related to Lord Li,"

Zhao Ming saw that as soon as Li Niangzi and Li Wensong talked, he didn't care at all that there was a presence of his own on the side, and hurriedly interjected to explain the words, so as not to know how long it would be delayed.

As soon as this half sentence was finished, Li Wensong heard the words of the case, and instantly looked at Mrs. Li with cold eyes. Mrs. Li saw his eyes and asked, but she didn't make any response.

"Xiaguan also compared it with the known situation according to his confession, and confirmed that it was correct, Master Li's suspicion now is cleared, and he can go back with Mrs. Li now."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ming exhaled a long breath, with a sense of helplessness, bowed to Li Wensong and said goodbye, and asked his servants to lead the witnesses down.

Su Jingye, who was outside the arch, heard this, and hurriedly hid a few steps to the side to hide his figure. After all, the reason for Mrs. Li's sudden appearance today has not yet been known, and it would be a pity if he was exposed so quickly.

Zhao Ming had something hidden in his heart, and to a large extent, he closed his perception of the outside world a little, and he led his subordinates to pass through this arch one after another, and he didn't notice anything strange next to him.

When there were no outsiders around the taboo room, Li Wensong sat at the table, poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and was not in a hurry to leave, but the tone of his voice completely returned to his original appearance.

"You've been with me for so long, and you haven't learned half of my composure at all, and you have to chase after me in such a trivial matter, do you think my position in the court is not shaken enough?"

"Now that Kong Yu is completely involved in Su Jingye's camp, Su Jingye's prestige in the imperial court will also rise, and it has become a huge obstacle to the major events I planned, and you still want to intervene in this juncture, but you are really hard-hearted, do you want to come over with outsiders to deal with me?"

Li Niangzi listened to him with some disbelief after saying this reprimand, her eyes flickered for a moment, and then dimmed, she lifted the hem of her clothes, slowly sat on the chair, her eyes stubbornly stared at the green leaves and tender grass outside the door, and stubbornly refused to look at Li Wensong.

"From Fang Cai's words, I can hear that the adults have never believed me for a day in all these years." Li Niangzi spit out this sentence faintly, making Li Wensong's hand holding the cup unconsciously pause.

"I just want to know, do you think that you are being detained here by Zhao Ming because you are involved in the kidnapping of a folk woman?"

"Although this kind of thing has a lot of impact, but there are so many people in the DPRK and China, and most of them have done this kind of evil thing, can Zhao Ming use such a serious grip on you, and arrest other officials?"

Then two rhetorical questions made Li Wensong's originally firm mind begin to waver, and Li Niangzi looked at the skeptical attitude on his face with satisfaction, and an inexplicable happiness suddenly rose in her heart.

"It seems that the adults really don't know." Li Niangzi sneered, "Just last night, in Yanliu Alley, a court official died in one of the flower buildings. ”

"Because of this person's special status and suspicion of murder, His Majesty has a clear stipulation that all officials are not allowed to surrender their identities and come to this place to fence the Washe. Zhao Ming had no choice but to order that all the people in the court related to Yanliu Lane that night to be arrested, so that the matter would not be revealed and unable to explain to His Majesty. ”

"Although this matter can be big or small, and there is no need to make such a serious situation at all, but this is just the statement of Lord Zhao on the surface, there must be another hidden story behind the scenes, if I didn't come out to find a witness to testify for the official, does the official really want to stay here until the case is solved?"

In the tone of the last sentence, Li Niangzi obviously brought a little accusation, Li Wensong was annoyed and ashamed, and immediately slapped the table and shouted in a low voice, "You are presumptuous." ”

Li Niangzi was unhappy in her heart, and was scolded by Li Wensong again, and immediately turned her face away and stopped talking to him.

Outside the arch, Su Jingye, who overheard all this, was clear. Last night, he and Zhao Ming acted separately, and when they came in a hurry, they didn't see anything, but they heard the same story from Zhao Ming's mouth as what Li Niangzi said, and Su Jingye believed it.

However, after hearing about the conversation between Li Niangzi and Li Wensong today, Su Jingye suddenly felt that Li Niangzi's guess was very likely, and it seemed that Zhao Ming deliberately concealed something.

Su Jingye bent the corners of his mouth, he was angry and wanted to laugh at Zhao Ming in his heart, he was very surprised that a person with such a brain as him had learned to talk about him left and right, it was really rare.

After some slander, Su Jingye carefully got out from behind the green bamboo and went to find Zhao Ming who was hiding in the study in front of him.

Li Wensong and Li Niangzi were angry with each other, and they didn't pay attention to any movement in front of them, so he coughed and tried to break the embarrassment and stood up.

"I know, I'll send someone to arrange an investigation after this, this is not the place to talk, you are tired today, it is better to go back early."

Li Niangzi knew that Li Wensong would never say anything soft, and being able to do so much was already the greatest sincerity he could express. Even if she was still a little depressed in her heart, Mrs. Li couldn't take care of people anymore, so she relaxed her attitude.

"The carriage is waiting outside, so please come here, sir. As for the witnesses, I will give him another sum of money later, so don't worry. ”

Li Wensong nodded stiffly, and walked out of the arch side by side with Li Niangzi, passing by the piece of bamboo where Su Jingye was hiding, but now there are people in the building.

Su Jingye came out of the arch in front of the confinement room in the backyard of the yamen, and found the study in the front yard all the way, but did not see Zhao Ming's shadow. After wandering around the front yard for a long time, Su Jingye finally learned from the mouth of his subordinate that Zhao Ming was hiding in the small study next to his bedroom.

Looking up at the sky, coupled with the sundial in the middle of the courtyard, Su Jingye found that the time had just arrived.

At such an early stage, there was still a long time before lunch, and this case was so urgent, it would not be long before Su Yutian would ask questions in person, Zhao Ming actually didn't rush to interrogate others, but only hid himself first, which showed that he was trying to escape something.

Su Jingye laughed in his heart, and pushed open the door of Zhao Ming's small study, only to see him lying on the desk, staring at the confession that had just been written on the table with a sad expression.

"King, lord, why are you here? Didn't you go and see the prisoners in the prison? I didn't find you anywhere, and I thought you were gone? ”

There was a sudden loud noise, as if it exploded in his ears, Zhao Ming looked up sharply, and found that Su Jingye walked in with a playful face, he quickly stood up, pretended to be casual and closed the things on the table, and greeted him warmly.

"This king did go over to take a few looks, but he came out quickly, but on the way, this king heard something interesting, so he came over to find the adult and said," Su Jingye withdrew his hand on the door, skillfully dodged the trajectory of Zhao Ming's arrival, and walked in the other direction to go around to the chair next to the desk.

"It's just that why the adults reacted so much, and they were anxious to come to this king, is there something that the adults are still hiding from this king?"
