Chapter 148: Framed

Let's say that Xiao Ti was here, and suddenly received a message from Meng Xizhou, saying that the eagle guards had found Li Qiao's whereabouts according to the portrait drawn by Yu Yuanxuan.

Li Qiao is the president of a secret poetry society in the city, and that poetry society is called Canghai Society.

The members of the meeting are all literati and scholars, and they all have a unified characteristic, that is, they do not meet talents.

Encounters like theirs are the most likely to have resentment towards the court and the emperor.

Xiao Ti ordered the arrest of all members of the Canghai Society.

The Eagle Guards are extremely efficient.

In the afternoon of the same day, the entire members of the Canghai Society were swept away and all of them were imprisoned in the prison of the Fa-rectification Division.

Among them, of course, also includes Li Qiao.

When Luo Pingsha heard about this, he immediately put down his paintbrush and hurried to the prison to arrange the interrogation.

At first, those scholars could grit their teeth and refuse to tell the truth.

After a few rounds of torture, one of them finally couldn't hold on.

It turned out that all the anti-poems circulating in the market were written by them.

Some of them have failed many times, and some have finally been admitted to the Jinshi, but because no one has recommended them, they have not been arranged for official positions, and they are still sitting on the cold bench for several years.

The hardships of studying hard in the cold window, as well as the dark side of officialdom, made them resentful of the imperial court.

They hate the injustice of the world, the injustice of the court, and the injustice of the emperor.

Those anti-poems are the tools they use to vent their resentment.

Originally, the anti-poems they wrote were only circulated to each other in private, until Li Qiao suddenly proposed that he could help print those anti-poems into a book and distribute them without being discovered.

At first, everyone was still skeptical, but when Li Qiao really released the book that concealed anti-poetry, everyone completely believed his words.

Li Qiao accumulated a lot of prestige in the poetry society and became the president.

Luo Pingsha personally interrogated Li Qiao.

To Luo Pingsha's surprise, before he could let people be tortured, Li Qiao confessed all in one go.

"It was King Min who asked me to print those anti-poems into books, he has long been dissatisfied with the current emperor, obviously he is a brother, but the current emperor can sit on the world and enjoy the worship of all the people, but he can only be an idle prince with no power and powerless, he is unwilling! He wanted the anti-poetry to spread among the people, so as to discredit the emperor's image in the hearts of the people. ”

Luo Pingsha handed this confession to the king of Langjun.

After reading the content of the confession, Xiao Ti asked, "How much do you think these words are true?" ”

Luo Pingsha replied honestly: "He said eloquently, and it seemed to be true, but his subordinates felt that his words were not credible. ”

Xiao Ti put down his confession: "How can you see it? ”

He confessed too quickly, as if he had expected it.

Taking a step back, even if the anti-poetry case is really the mastermind of King Min, how can King Min keep the hidden danger of Li Qiao?

People like Li Qiao, who knew a lot, either stayed under their noses and stared closely, or they just killed a hundred, and they definitely wouldn't let him run around outside.

The subordinates always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. ”

Xiao Ti's index finger tapped lightly on the table: "You mean, someone is deliberately luring the Eagle Guard to find Li Qiao, so as to frame King Min?" ”

Luo Pingsha bowed his head in agreement.

At this moment, Meng Xizhou walked in.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qiyu County, someone has come to the palace, saying that the emperor has summoned you to the palace."

Xiao Ti's eyes fell on the confession again.

As soon as the Canghai Society was arrested, someone came to the palace, which was inevitably too fast.
