Chapter 106: Timely Rescue

Hearing this voice, Governor Li didn't understand that it was Zhao Yiyan who came back. He sat down in a chair in despair, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhao Yiyan was so anxious that without waiting for the horse to stand firm, he neatly flipped off the horse's back and rushed into the public hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw Governor Li sitting on a chair in a distraction, and Zhong Li leaning weakly on Zhong Liyu's arms, covered in blood that looked shocking.

Zhao Yiyan felt his heart stinged by something, emotionally how much he wished he could hug Zhongli into his arms, but intellectually he was not allowed to do so. He suppressed the pain in his heart, strode to the case of Governor Li, and said coldly: "What crime did the second son of Zhong commit that Governor Li made such a big move?" ”

Zhao Yiyan's voice was very cold, so cold that people didn't even dare to speak, and Governor Li stared at Zhao Yiyan in horror. For the people of the Apocalypse, he is the god of war, but for him, Zhao Yiyan is the god of death.

Governor Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva and groveled, "Isn't King Qingyang attacking the bandits?" If you don't talk about trivial things, you won't bother with the prince. The implication is to remind Zhao Yiyan not to meddle in things.

But at this time, Zhao Yiyan's temper had already risen, and he glanced at Li Zhifu with an extremely cold look and said: "The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is not a trivial matter, since Li Zhifu is not capable of trial, then give this right to this king." He deliberately mentioned his identity as the prince, which made Governor Li breathless. At the same time, the general was also accused of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, such a crime can almost condemn people to death, and he must completely take out Zhongli.

After speaking, Zhao Yiyan didn't care about Governor Li's reaction, walked to Governor Li's side, easily pushed him aside, sat in Governor Li's position and said, "Today, this king will come to try this case." ”

"The prince is wise!" The villagers said in unison.

Zhao Yiyan raised his hand and pressed it, and all the villagers stopped shouting.

"Who is the main culprit in this matter?" Zhao Yiyan kept a straight face, forcing his gaze not to look at Zhongli. He was afraid that he would not be able to resist picking her up.

After today's incident, he completely understood his mind, even if he clearly knew that the other party was a man, he was still moved.

"Lord Hui, Zhongli, the second son of the Zhong family." Xu Ze glanced at the people around him and found that no one spoke, so he stood up and said.

"Zhongli." Zhao Yiyan glanced at Zhongli and looked back at Governor Li, "Dare to ask what crime Zhongli has committed?" ”

"Collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country." Governor Li knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and he also knew that he must not change his rhetoric at this time, otherwise Zhao Yiyan would definitely catch his mistake immediately.

Zhao Yiyan's brows sank again, and he asked in a deep voice: "I don't know who told you the news, but the human and physical evidence have all been presented." ”

Governor Li choked, where did he have any physical evidence, it was just a verbal frame-up.

But at this moment, in full view of everyone, he didn't dare to tell the truth.

When he hesitated, Wang Quan stood up and said, "I caught a spy from an enemy country, and he said that Zhongli was their internal response. ”

Zhao Yiyan sneered, and his voice was even lower, "Bring it on." ”

And after hearing Wang Quan's words, Governor Li was stunned, how could he not know, what other enemy spies were there?

"And a letter of contact with an enemy country." Wang Quan asked people to go down and present it again.

A moment later, a man who looked distinctly different from the Apocalypse was brought in, with handcuffs and leg irons, a tall stature, and a very dangerous look.

In fact, this man was indeed from an enemy country, but he did not say those words.

"You're the spy?" Zhao Yiyan glanced at him, there was a storm hidden in the calm, in his territory, someone actually took advantage of his absence to bully the person he fancied, how could this be.

"I'm not a spy." The man glanced at Wang Quan contemptuously, "I'm just here to look for my relatives." "During last year's war, his father disappeared, and he came here to find his father, and he was not a spy at all.

He thought of the scene in prison just now, Wang Quan stared at him with disgust, approached the man and slowly threatened, "As long as you cooperate with me, I will agree to tell you your father's whereabouts." ”

The man gave Wang Quan a blank look, noncommittal.

At this time, the time was urgent, and Wang Quan didn't have any extra time to talk nonsense, so he brought a man over to pretend to be a spy without waiting for a discussion, but the other party refused to admit Wang Quan's accusations.

"So, you are not a spy, and you don't know about Zhongli's collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country, let alone telling Governor Li about this?" Zhao Yiyan said it in a clear manner, letting everyone understand that he is not the general who only knows how to fight, but also a wise prince.

"Governor Li, now that the 'spies' you brought have said so, what else do you have to say?" Zhao Yiyan set his eyes on Li Zhifu, who only felt as if he was locked by death, and Zhao Yiyan's eyes were too terrifying.

It wasn't until Wang Quan went over and pulled the sleeve of Governor Li's mansion that Governor Li reacted, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The prince is the prince of the apocalypse, would you rather believe the words of a person from an enemy country than the words of a lower official?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Yiyan's eyes sharpened, he was not stupid, Governor Li's meaning was obvious, this was directly saying that he was also collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Zhao Yiyan sneered, "Governor Li knows so well about the other party's spies, this king sees, you are the spies planted by the enemy country in the apocalypse, right?" "Who wouldn't frame him, it's just that he doesn't disdain to use this method, but this Governor Li wants to persecute him.

"Lord Wang, even if you are the prince, you can't say without evidence and slander the lower officials." Li Zhifu arched his hand, but his lowered eyes were full of cruelty.

"You also know that you can't say without evidence?" Zhao Yiyan sneered, looked at the enemy people on the ground with deep eyes, and before Zhao Yiyan could speak, the man in front of the court snorted coldly, "It turns out that it is a drama to frame each other again, speaking of which, your officials of the Apocalypse are really corrupt and specially frame their own families." ”

The man's words made Governor Li's face change greatly, and Wang Quan immediately shouted: "This is a public court, don't talk nonsense." He winked at the man as he spoke, but the man didn't seem to see his hint, and said indifferently: "Just now, this person named Wang Quan found me and asked me to pretend to be an enemy spy to confirm the evidence of Zhongli's crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country." Do you think he is stupid, if I am really a spy of the enemy country, how can I expose my internal responses, isn't this more than worth the loss? ”

The man's words made Governor Li's face pale again, he didn't expect Wang Quan to assert himself, and he didn't expect this person to temporarily stand on Zhao Yiyan's side, which made Governor Li's chest rise and fall violently, but he was helpless, because this was a fact.

"In other words, Zhongli's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country is nothing, and it is framed by others, right?" Zhao Yiyan's eyes glanced at Li Zhifu lightly, and Li Zhifu immediately trembled fiercely, he understood that in fact, from the beginning, he was standing opposite Zhao Yiyan, and Zhongli was just a fuse.

But he was unwilling to lose like this, and said: "Lord Wang, the identity of this person has yet to be ascertained, and this matter cannot be so hastily decided." ”

"You know how to be sloppy too?" Zhao Yiyan angrily threw the shocking wood in his hand on the head of Li Zhifu, smashing his head and bleeding.

"Faced with the confession of an 'unidentified' person, you believed his words, and let people arrest Zhongli, aren't you hasty?" Zhao Yiyan's questioning made Governor Li speechless, he covered the wound on his head, and stared at the boss with a pair of eyes. After Zhao Yiyan's inquiry, this matter has almost come to light, Zhongli was framed, and everyone knows who the person who framed her is.

"Folks, it is everyone's misfortune that there is such a prefect in Canggu City who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and frames the common people for his own selfishness," Seeing that he was about to be convicted, Governor Li couldn't help but jump out and said: "Lord Wang, you keep talking about evidence, what about the evidence of the official, how did the official slander Zhongli, you came up with evidence." ”

Zhao Yiyan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was waiting for your words! The reason why he kept suppressing his anger and calmly dealt with this matter, instead of coming up directly and hacking people to death, was because he didn't want Zhongli to bear such a charge.

He said indifferently: "Butler, present the evidence of Governor Li's crimes." ”

It turned out that when he came, he must have made up his mind and separated from the old housekeeper, he came here to stabilize the situation, and the old housekeeper took people to Governor Li's house to search for evidence.

Just now, he had seen the butler waiting at the door, which meant that he had found evidence.

Governor Li's face twitched, and in his incredulous gaze, the old butler walked up with a box in his hand, and said respectfully: "These are all evidence, please take a look at it." ”

"Open it in front of everyone." Zhao Yiyan said bluntly.

At this moment, Governor Li's face not only turned pale, but even his body began to tremble. The moment he saw the box, he knew he was finished.

This box is full of letters of contact between him and various officials and evidence of corruption between him and various merchants, he asked for evidence, but he didn't expect Zhao Yiyan to find evidence.

Li Zhifu couldn't bear it anymore, and his whole body fell to the ground, his face pale.

Zhao Yiyan didn't seem to see his reaction, and put out the letter in front of everyone.

Many literate people in the crowd began to read out, and when everyone heard what Governor Li had done, everyone's eyes were full of hatred when they looked at Governor Li.

Governor Li reluctantly got up from the ground, stared at Zhao Yiyan and said: "For the sake of being an official in the same dynasty, the lower official begs the prince to give the lower official a good time." ”

Zhao Yiyan didn't even look at him, got up and said to the adjutant outside the door: "Come here, arrest Governor Li, and all the people from the Yamen." ”

"Yes." The adjutant responded, and with dozens of soldiers to control the servants, Zhao Yiyan stood up and said: "The second son of Zhong involved in this case has been verified to be framed by Governor Li, and Zhong Li's collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country is purely false. ”
