Chapter 32: Fatal Love (I)
On Shaobo Lake in Yangzhou, on a beautifully decorated pleasure boat, Dongfang Bai and a woman in white stand side by side.
"That's the way it is." After Dongfang Bai finished speaking, he looked at the woman in white.
"The illusion that the two of you have teamed up to create, this Li You can even break it!" The woman in white looked surprised when she heard this. "Looks like we're underestimating him."
"Yes." Dongfang Bai nodded in agreement. "And that Wang Miao is also very terrifying, according to yesterday's situation, it seems that he has not used his full strength."
"The Pig Divine Beast is an ancient divine beast, not only can see through all illusions, but also has infinite strength, which is really a headache opponent." The woman in white turned to look at Dongfang Bai. "These things must be reported to the queen at once. However, I am now on a mission, and I can't get out of it for a short time, so I can only ask the envoy. ”
"I was going to return to Chang'an immediately, but Biyue was arrested, and my life and death are not yet known, so I made a special trip to discuss rescue plans with you." Dongfang Bai explained.
"The queen has expected this matter for a long time, and she has already laid out a rescue plan in advance, so the envoy does not need to worry."
"Is that true?" Dongfang Bai looked surprised.
"The queen is like a god, and Biyue is the person she values, how can she sit idly by, and the envoy can rest assured."
"Great." Oriental white face is happy. "Then I'll return to Chang'an immediately, and we'll have a date later."
"Hmm. Take care all the way. ”
………
Shengtang County Lobby.
Li You sat behind the bookcase, Wang Miao stood next to the bookcase, and Yang Ming, the main bookkeeper, sat on the side. On both sides of the lobby, Liu Zhong and other officials held water and fire sticks in their hands, with solemn faces.
In the center of the lobby, Wei Zhuang stood with his hands behind his back, and Bi Yue was tied behind his back, curled up on the ground, his face lifeless.
"Biyue, are you guilty?" Li You asked Biyue.
"My lord, it has nothing to do with Biyue, it's all my doing." Wei Zhuang didn't wait for Biyue to speak, and had already answered first.
When Bi Yue heard Wei Zhuang's words, she looked up at Wei Zhuang, her originally dead face regained a little blood, and tears flashed in her eyes.
"It's all you?" Li You showed a sneer. "Then you should tell the official what you have done?"
"I killed Zhao Wu, Feng Guang, and Feng Liang." Wei Zhuang's face was calm.
"Then why did you kill them?"
"Because they robbed Yun'er's grave!" Wei Zhuang gritted his teeth and said.
"How did you find out about this?"
"Hey!" Wei Zhuang sighed. "After Yun'er died, I couldn't let go, so I went to Yangzhou to find friends. Unexpectedly, on the head of his friend's maid, Yun'er's golden hairpin was found. ”
"That golden hairpin was customized for Yun'er when I was in Chang'an to take the exam, it is an auspicious cloud around a pearl, the only one in the world!" Wei Zhuang's face was sad. "Zhao Wu and the others actually stole Yun'er's grave, it's not a pity to die! It's not a pity to die! ”
When the surrounding officials and the chief bookkeeper Yang Ming heard this, they all looked at each other, and they all showed expressions of disbelief. Because he had known about this for a long time, Li You had a calm face.
"Then how do you know that it was Zhao Wu and the others who did it?" Although he knew the result, Li You still asked Wei Zhuang.
"I..."Wei Zhuang couldn't help but look at Biyue.
"Biyue has been in ambush in the cemetery in the south of the city for more than three months, and has discovered the shameless behavior of Zhao Wu and the three of them many times!" Biyue also had a look of disgust on her face.
When the people in the lobby heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and a few couldn't help but whisper, unable to accept such a fact for a while. Yang Ming stopped the pen in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Li You, and found that Li You was as calm as water, as if he had known about it for a long time, and couldn't help but show a surprised look.
"What a guts!" Li You looked at Biyue meaningfully, which made Biyue not know how to respond for a while. "Wei Zhuang, this official will ask you again, how did you kill Zhao Wu?"
"Pretending to be a female corpse and scaring him to death." Wei Zhuang still looked calm.
"Scared to death? Do you know what a person who is scared to death should look like? Li You raised his eyes and looked at Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong, pass on the work! ”
"Yes!" Liu Zhong turned around and walked to the witness room on the side of the lobby. ", go to the court!"
A moment later, Wei Miao'er and Long Tongue came to the lobby.
"It's easy to see your lord." "Wei Miao'er, see your lord." The long tongue was serious, but Wei Miaoer showed a playful smile at Li You, and Li You had to pretend not to see it. When Wei Zhuang and Bi Yue saw Wei Miao'er, they all showed surprised looks.
"Zuo, Zhao Wu was scared to death?" Li You asked about the long tongue.
Long Tongue looked panicked, and involuntarily looked at Wei Miao'er, Wei Miao'er nodded at Long Tongue, and Long Tongue stabilized his mind. "Returning to my lord, people who are scared to death will have round eyes, white lips, and hideous faces, but Zhao Wu's face was peaceful when he died, and he was obviously not scared to death."
"Wei Zhuang, can you hear clearly?" Li You turned to Wei Zhuang.
"No way, I saw him that day..."
"Do you want to know what's going on?" Without waiting for Wei Zhuang to finish speaking, Li You interrupted. "Liu Zhong, pass on Wang Baoren!"
"Yes!" Liu Zhong came to the witness room again. "Wang Baoren, go to the court!"
Wang Baoren took three steps and made two steps to the lobby. "The grass people have seen adults!"
"Wang Baoren, you will tell the situation you saw that day as it is."
"Yes, sir." Wang Baoren recounted what he saw that day. Seeing that Zhao Wu was paralyzed in place, the female corpse turned around and left the courtyard. The grass people waited for a while, and wanted to go to see Zhao Wu's situation, when a woman in yellow suddenly appeared. ”
"After the woman in yellow tested Zhao Wu's snort, she didn't know what spell she used, Zhao Wu actually floated into the air and slowly fell into the water tank." Wang Baoren showed an incredible look. "The woman in yellow put the door panel on the water tank, pressed the rockery in the garden on the door panel, and then stood in front of the water tank for more than an hour before turning to leave."
Li You motioned for Wang Baoren to step back, and then turned his head to look at Wei Zhuang. "Wei Zhuang, do you understand?"
Wei Zhuang involuntarily turned his head to look at Biyue.
"You didn't scare Zhao Wu to death, but someone managed to kill Zhao Wu after you left. Do you know why this person had to kill Zhao Wu? ”
"Why?" Wei Zhuang hurriedly asked.
"Because Zhao Wu discovered a secret that shouldn't have been discovered." Li You looked at Biyue meaningfully. "Miss Biyue, am I right?"
"The folk girl doesn't understand what the adults mean." Bi Yue turned her head, avoiding Wei Zhuang and Li You's gaze.
"Wei Zhuang, the female corpse that Wang Baoren just mentioned, but you?" Li You turned to Wei Zhuang.
"Hmm." Wei Zhuang nodded.
"Wang Baoren said that the skull of the female corpse you pretended to be at that time was broken and her brain was exposed, but is it true?" Li You continued to ask.
"That's true."
"Then the official asked you, why do you want to dress up as such a female corpse?"
"Because—" Wei Zhuang didn't know how to answer for a while. Because Zhao Wu is most afraid of this..."
"Let the official tell you." Without waiting for Wei Zhuang to finish speaking, Li You interrupted. "Because Biyue made you dress up like this!"
“!!” Wei Zhuang looked at Li You incredulously.
"Do you know why Biyue made you dress up like this?"
Wei Zhuang was attracted by Li You's words and stared at Li You intently. "Why?"
"Because that's what Chu Yun looked like when he died!"
"Impossible!" Wei Zhuang looked surprised, unable to accept Li You's words.
"Biyue girl, isn't what the official said right?" Li You turned to Biyue.
"Biyue, that's not true, is it?" Wei Zhuang asked Bi Yue eagerly, and Bi Yue hurriedly shook his head.
"How did Miss Biyue know about Chu Yun's death?" Li You asked Biyue.
"I..." Biyue was speechless for a moment.
"Biyue?" Wei Zhuang's breath was short, and he looked at Biyue with a panicked expression.
"Humph! It's better to let the official answer for Miss Biyue. Li You snorted coldly. Because you opened the coffin of the wall! ”
"After learning that Chu Yun's grave was stolen, you immediately realized that your plot to bury Chu Yun alive might have been exposed. So, you secretly opened Chu Yun's coffin and found Chu Yun's death. At this point, you are convinced that the tomb robbers have discovered your secret, so you set out to find out the tomb robbers, and then use illusion to kill them one by one. "Li You is like a cannon, and he can't help but have any arguments in Biyue." What a wicked woman! ”
"You talk nonsense!" Bi Yue found that Wei Zhuang's lips were trembling, and he looked at him with a complicated expression, and immediately denied it.
"Biyue, although you have exhausted all the tricks, you have made a fatal mistake." Li You showed a sarcastic look.
"What?" Biyue looked at Li You suspiciously.
"Do you think Zhao Wu's tomb robbery gang has only three people?" Li You turned his head to look at Liu Zhong. "Mention Wu evil!"
Liu Zhong led Liu Xiao and Liu Yi to the cell. A moment later, Wu Xi, who was dressed in a torture instrument, was escorted to the lobby.
When Wu Wei saw Li You, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed. "Your Excellency!"
When Biyue saw Wu Xie, a look of despair flashed on her face.
"Wu Xi, do you remember the theft of Chu Yun's tomb?" Li You asked Wu Xi.
"The villain remembers it clearly." Wu Xie did not hesitate.
"Why?" Li You asked.
"Because it is the tomb of Mrs. Wei Zhuang, the burial must be very rich. And...""You bastards..."As soon as Wu Xie said this, Wei Zhuang couldn't control himself, and pounced on Wu Xi, and Liu Zhong and the three of them hurriedly stopped.
"Wu Xie, you go on!" Li You motioned for Wu Wei to continue.
"After the coffin was opened, Wei Zhuang's wife suddenly opened her eyes, Zhao Wu was frightened for a while, and smashed it down with a pickaxe, and immediately blood splashed..." Wei Zhuang burst into tears when he heard this, and pounced on Wu Xie again, and Liu Zhong and the three of them hurriedly stopped him again.
"Wei Zhuang, do you remember what Zhao Wu said to you?" Li You looked at Wei Zhuang. When Wei Zhuang heard this, he immediately froze in place.
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it."
Zhao Wu has always been haunted by the death of Chu Yun by mistake, and the fear of being buried alive in the ground has always haunted Zhao Wu's heart. Eventually, Biyue took advantage of this and killed Zhao Wu. Li You said this, and turned his eyes to look at Biyue. No matter how hateful Zhao Wu is, Wei Zhuang, don't forget this culprit! ”
Li You's words woke up Wei Zhuang, the man in his dream. Wei Zhuang turned to look at Bi Yue, his eyes full of disgust and hatred. "Biyue, why! Why! ”
"Sir!" Biyue wept bitterly. "I'm sorry!"
Hearing this, Li You's hanging heart finally let go.
