Chapter 3: Confrontation

Li Yang was taken to the back hall of the prefect's yamen.

The nature of the assassination case of the Goryeo mission is not comparable to that of ordinary cases, and even if the crown prince of Goryeo is not dead, this kind of case cannot be tried in the lobby.

Inside the back hall.

Gongsun Zhen, Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng, Li Gang, the crown prince of Goryeo, Li Xi, the seventh prince of Goryeo, and others gathered together, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Yang and Xiao Ai.

"Boldly Diao Min, didn't kneel when you saw this official?" Gongsun was really anxious to administer justice for the prince of Goryeo, stood at the head of the case, and was the first to speak.

"Plop" Xiao Ai knelt down.

She is just a poor and weak woman, how can she withstand the official authority of the prefect.

"Brother Li." She pulled the corner of Li Yang's clothes, really worried that he would come hard.

Of course, Li Yang didn't come hard.

Not only did he not come hard, but after kneeling, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, not a sneer, not a sneer, but a normal smile.

It's just this normal smile that makes Gongsun really feel that when he kneels, he is despising himself.

What the hell is going on with this man?

Gongsun Zhen gave birth to a nameless fire for no reason, and slapped the table, "Boldly Diao Min, are you guilty?" ”

Li Yang was not frightened.

The crown prince of Goryeo was startled, and said secretly: I was the one who was assassinated, why are you so angry?

"What is the crime of the grass people?" Li Yang asked.

"You still can't deny it!" Gongsun Zhenguan shouted with full authority.

"Actually, I don't even know why I got here." Li Yang really doesn't know.

But he thought about it.

The problem must be in the customs clearance documents.

Sure enough, Gongsun took out the confiscated customs clearance document and sneered: "This official will let you know that Li Yang of Bianliang Killing Pig Street ...... If you want to go out of Beijing to Luzhou, you will be released according to the inspection, and the fifth year of Tiansheng will be on the day of the first day of the fifth month. ”

He opened the customs clearance document and read it aloud, paused when he read the date, and then looked at Li Yang, "You only left the capital on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, that is, on the sixth day of the first month of this month?" ”

Li Yang nodded.

Not to mention the sixth day of the first month, even if it is the eighth day of the first month, the ninth day of the first month, and the tenth day of the first month, as long as Gongsun Zhen said that it is not a number other than thirty, he will nod.

Because he never counted the date.

He's a traveler who comes on vacation, so why doesn't he care about the date?

There was only one date he cared about, and that was twenty days.

Gongsun Zhen naturally didn't know this, held the customs clearance paper, and continued: "There is a local seal on it, the date is Xinyou Day, that is, the ninth day of the first month of this month, hum, from the capital to Luzhou, even if you take the official road, there are thousands of miles away, and it takes ten days to ride a horse normally, you actually arrived in just three days, and the speed is about to catch up with six hundred miles of urgency, you are an idle You Fanglangzhong, what can be a big deal to come to Luzhou in such a hurry?" ”

After asking, he firmly deduced on his own: "It's just to assassinate the crown prince of Goryeo, now, are you guilty?" ”

Li Yang paused for a moment, quickly digested it in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "If you hurry up, you are guilty?" ”

Gongsun Zhen pointed at Li Yang and asked, "Do you dare to deny it?" Well, the official asked you, what are you doing in such a hurry to come to Luzhou? ”

"I'm tired of staying in the capital, I want to change the environment, change the way of living, as for why it's so fast, bored on the road, and want to pursue some excitement, I galloped all the way, but I didn't expect to arrive in Luzhou in three days." The smile on Li Yang's face was gone, because he was concentrating on weaving lies.

The customs clearance document did not say that he had companions and family members, that is to say, he was alone, since he was himself, there was no witness, and the things on the road were not what he wanted to say.

"Nonsense." Gongsun Zhen couldn't say anything about Li Yang, and said angrily.

"It's a fact." Li Yang said.

"What are you doing with so much talk, it's a waste of time." The crown prince of Goryeo said impatiently.

Gongsun Zhen's face changed, and he slapped the table again, "You Diao Min, it seems that you don't need to be punished, you won't be recruited." ”

"The prefect wants to be beaten into a trick?" Li Yang's words were like needles, piercing Gongsun Zhen's heart.

Gongsun Zhen's face turned red, and for a while, he couldn't speak.

Li Yang had something to say: "You say I'm an assassin, but who has ever seen an assassin eat in a restaurant when he was assassinating?" And with a weak girl? Moreover, when you were fighting the assassins, I was still eating in the restaurant, and I never took half a step out of the restaurant, how could I assassinate you? The guests in the restaurant can prove it, no, the shopkeeper is also here, and he can also prove it, if I am an assassin, will I be a doppelganger? Can you eat in a restaurant while going to the street to stab? ”

"Yes, Dad, he has an alibi, you can't wronged a good person and beat him into a trick." Gongsun Ce is strong, and he really can't see it.

"You know what." Gongsun was so angry that he pulled his son aside.

The crown prince of Goryeo snorted coldly, "Hmph, even if you have nothing to do with the crime of assassination, then this little king called for help to you at that time, why didn't you save you when you died?" ”

When Li Yang heard this, he suddenly shouted to the shopkeeper of the restaurant who was waiting on the side: "Are you guilty? ”

The "......" shopkeeper was stunned.

The others didn't react either.

"Are you guilty?" Li Yang asked again.

"What does this have to do with me?" The shopkeeper screamed in dismay.

There was nothing for him here, just because the prince ran into his restaurant at that time, and Li Yang was also a guest in the restaurant, he was forcibly brought here.

The crown prince of Goryeo was the first to react, "Bold, Ben Xiao is asking you why you are guilty of not saving yourself when you see death, you"

"What does this have to do with me?" Li Yang didn't wait for him to finish, and said first.

The words he said were exactly the same as what the shopkeeper had just said, and even the tone was exactly the same.

Everyone was stunned.

"Well said!"

Bao Zheng let out a cheer and echoed, "If you don't save yourself when you see death, you can count it as a crime, then the shopkeeper is also guilty." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his legs were weak.

"It's not just the shopkeeper."

Gongsun Ce shouted: "I was also present at the time, but I didn't come to the rescue, I am also guilty, Bao Zheng is also guilty, my father is also guilty, and Xiao Ai is also guilty...... All the people in the streets who didn't make a move were guilty. ”

I don't know why, the hearts of many people present are faintly hot, and they can't help but feel an urge to applaud.

Li Yang looked at the Goryeo prince again and made a gesture of invitation, "Please ask the Goryeo prince to punish the crime." ”

Everyone is looking at the Goryeo prince.

No one blamed him, but he seemed to hear everyone scolding him.

He couldn't help but be annoyed, pointed at Li Yang, and said, "You...... You are inciting right and wrong, slandering this little king, come here, arrest him for me. ”

In the midst of the scene, except for a Goryeo general, Park Jung-ho, no one moved.

Even the Goryeo generals were stopped by the Seventh Prince Li Xi in the mission.

"Brother Wang, since they are not guilty, let them go, don't let the people of the Great Song Dynasty think that our Goryeo royal family will only make trouble unreasonably." Li Xi said lightly.

"When is it your turn to speak?" The crown prince of Goryeo said angrily, and then glared at Li Yang, as if to say: You wait for me.

Not only Lee Yang, but everyone became the target of the Goryeo prince's anger.

"You all remember, within five days, if you don't give Ben Xiaowang an explanation...... Hum! ”

Finally, he walked away.

Gongsun Zhen hurriedly chased after him, "Prince, bring the guards with you." ”

"No need, you should keep those wine bags and rice bags for your own use, General Park, from now on, you will be fully responsible for the heavy responsibility of guarding."

Gongsun really put a cold ass on his hot face, and couldn't help but walk back stupidly.

Li Yang didn't react, as if he didn't see it.

As soon as the crown prince left, the rest of the Goryeo mission followed.

Only Song people are left in the hall, but they are by no means their own.

"Prefect, can I go?" Li Yang was the first to break the silence.

"Go, go, go." Gongsun really waved his hand impatiently, like chasing flies.

I wanted to give an explanation to the prince of Goryeo, and everyone was happy, but he didn't expect it to be like this, he was extremely depressed in his heart, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to Li Yang.

"Let's go." Li Yang picked up Xiao Ai and walked out of the yamen by himself.

"Brother Li, Xiao Ai." Bao Zheng chased him out.

Li Yang stopped, turned around and said, "Do you still have something?" ”

"It's not a big deal."

Bao Zheng looked at Li Yang with an expression as if he had nothing to do, but he didn't know what to comfort, and finally could only look at Xiao Ai, "Don't worry, it's okay, the prefect is actually not bad, but sometimes people are a little confused." ”

Li Yang said: "He is not confused. ”

Bao Zheng pursed his lips, "He's not confused?" Since the assassination of the Goryeo Mission, he has been so confused that he wants to blame you. ”

"That's why he is not confused." Li Yang said.

"What do you mean?" Bao Zheng didn't understand.

"You're here to find out the truth, and people are trying to keep the black gauze hat, is he confused?"

Li Yang not only didn't think that Gongsun was really not confused, but even felt that Gongsun was really shrewd.

With Bao Zheng's mind, how could he not understand Li Yang's words, and said with a wry smile: "Let's not talk about this officialdom, I want to ask you something." ”

"Just ask." Li Yang said generously, but he was thinking in his heart: This Bao Zheng really suspects me.

"Look at the posture of the prince of Goryeo who wants to punish you just now, did you provoke him somewhere?" Bao Zheng asked directly.

"Do you need to ask?" Li Yang suddenly discovered that sometimes Bao Zheng was not very smart.

"Brother Li, you can do it, tell me, what's going on?" Bao Zheng bowed his hand, his face full of curiosity.

Li Yang pointed at Xiao Ai and replied: "The look in the eyes of the prince of Goryeo when he looks at Xiao Ai is like a hungry wolf seeing fat meat, and he is about to run out, isn't this obvious?" ”

Bao Zheng thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was really the case.

He asked again: "But why didn't he look for Xiao Ai, but he wanted to trouble you?" ”

Li Yang smiled, glanced at Xiao Ai, leaned into Bao Zheng's ear, and said in a voice that only two people can hear and men can understand, "Because Xiao Ai's eyes are about to shine when they look at me." ”

The reason for this......

For a while, Bao Zheng didn't know what to say.

"Brother Li, Brother Bao, what are you talking about?" Xiao Ai asked curiously.

"Nothing." Li Yang patted Bao Zheng's chest, smiled mysteriously, and left.

"Brother Li, wait for me." Xiao Ai immediately trotted after him.

Bao Zheng stood at the entrance of the yamen, looking at Xiao Ai happily catching up with Li Yang's back, thinking about Li Yang's words, he suddenly felt that Li Yang's words just now didn't seem to be a joke......

Finally, Bao Zheng shook his head.

"I care about what these do, he has a full alibi, he is definitely not an assassin, but there is still a suspicion...... Why is he in such a hurry to come to Luzhou? ”
