Chapter 55: There Is Always a Reason to Die

The little lady of the Northland?

Li Chengyang scoffed, but after going back, he couldn't sleep well after tossing and turning. It's not that I really yearn for the girl from the north because of Li Xinglin's words, but I recall that I was always pressed by Li Xinglin when I visited the Qinglou together, and I had to get back a game no matter how I said it. Thinking like this in my heart, I gradually felt bored when I went to the gambling house Qinglou, and then I simply turned my heart sideways, found Li Zheng's way, and went to the north to join the army. Later, after becoming famous in the army, he wrote a letter to Li Xinglin, which probably means how majestic Lao Tzu is now, and his fists are terrifying. And said that it is not interesting to enter and exit the Qinglou, but it is not quite right, the women of the northern line are really bold and spicy, and some southern girls are ashamed of the tricks of hospitality, you probably haven't experienced it, and so Lao Tzu will play Qi Du next time, I must invite you to taste enough of the taste of the girl in Qidi, and see if you can say such a thing that does not understand the customs of the world.

Li Xinglin laughed after reading it, and didn't know how to reply to the letter after thinking about it for a long time, and finally only wrote the word cherished, fooling the past.

Probably Li Chengyang felt bored when he received the reply, thinking that he was so heroic, and it was a big regret in life that no one appreciated him. Back then, I also fought side by side in the fat powder pile, why is it that now such a thing as a wind and moon, Lao Tzu depicts it so explicitly, you shouldn't comment with it? This agreement to visit a hundred green houses, but I still owe more than eighty.

Besides, what is precious, but what is precious? Could it be that I think Lao Tzu has gone too far in the Qinglou, and I am afraid that my strength is not good and I will die on the belly of the girl?

So after many years, when Li Chengyang, who was full of weather, disguised himself as a man, and stood in front of Li Xinglin, Li Xinglin's dark complexion and frenzied beard like weeds startled Li Xinglin, thinking that he hadn't seen it all these years, and if it weren't for the flirtatious color at the corner of his mouth that was still faintly visible, he would almost be unrecognizable.

Before Li Xinglin could recover from the surprise when he saw Li Chengyang, the news that Li Chengyang said next was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Li Xinglin beyond measure.

Zhenbei General Li Zheng has a heart of disobedience!

As the most powerful person on the northwest border of the empire, he has always had a message exchange with Baili Zhengcheng, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Qi State opposite. If this matter is exposed, I am afraid that the government and the opposition of the two countries will be shaken and unstable.

It's just that Li Chengyang is different from the brainless gentlemen who have been fighting together since childhood, and he has seen a lot of conspiracy methods in the Kyoto circle since he was a child, and he has become more calm with so many years of military experience. He knew that even if he stood up and reported it, if there was no sufficient evidence, even if he was Li Zheng's nephew, most of the people would believe it.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the evidence is ironclad, what can it do?

Li Zheng supports the army and is self-respecting, and has been planning to operate in the northwest for many years, whether it is prestige or real power, it has long been different from the princes of a place, if it is not for the founding of the Tang Dynasty since the founding of the country, he has already been crowned with a different surname and a python robe. At this moment, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty is stalemate, and no matter what, the court is unwilling and does not dare to tear up the face rashly with the northwest town at this time, so the only way is to find a way to cover up this matter first, pretend that nothing has happened, and wait for the war to pass and then slowly figure it out.

Once that happens, Li Chengyang has only a dead end.

In order to hide these secrets, not only did Li Zheng want him to die, but there were also people in Qi who wanted him to die, and even the entire court of the Tang Dynasty had to let him die.

Therefore, Li Chengyang, who thought about all this clearly, took the opportunity to flee from the Anshi station, and did not go straight to the capital along the official road from then on. Instead, he unexpectedly went all the way to the west, until everyone thought that he was going to escape from the border of the Tang Dynasty, but they never thought that he would throw off the chasing men and horses, and take the western border all the way to the south and return to southern Xinjiang.

"It's just that even if you have some strange old friends, they are far from being friends of life and death." Listening to these incredible news, Jiang Lihu raised his head suspiciously, thinking that Li Xinglin seemed to be loyal and honest, but in fact he was full of cunning and thoughtfulness, where could it be so easy to believe Li Chengyang's words, not to mention that these secrets were even more involved in the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xinglin heard the meaning of Jiang Li's words, waved his hand to signal him not to be in a hurry, and then explained, "Those ciphertexts need to be compared with the mother book to be translated, and Li Chengyang couldn't get it in a hurry, but he stole something extremely important. ”

"Drawings of the repeater of the Ministry of Engineering." Li Xinglin paused, and then said, "It is absolutely impossible to unknowingly hand over a copy of the drawings from the heavily guarded Armament Division, not to mention that the drawings appeared in the secret box of Li Zheng's study far away in the northwest. ”

Jiang Li and Yu Haoxin glanced at each other, tacitly thinking of the group of black-clothed people who died under the crossbows, thinking that Li Xinglin was really thoughtful, even if he saw the drawings in Li Chengyang's hand, he still kept a hand, and in order to verify the authenticity of what Li Chengyang said, he also took great pains to build a batch of crossbows according to the drawings.

If the information is true, then everything is clear from here.

Nanshao is far away in southern Xinjiang, thousands of miles away from the northern line. It's just that if someone follows the clues left by Li Chengyang all the way, even if it takes some time, it will only be a matter of time before Nanshao City is found. If you want to solve this problem once and for all, the best way is to let Li Chengyang and Li Dai Tao stiffen to fake their death.

Therefore, seeing that the meaning is true, the tragedy is also true, and the murderer locked up in the dungeon is also true, but of course it will not be Li Chengyang.

"That is a habitual bandit on the top of Xiling Mountain, who infiltrated the city and committed such a big case, I took it outside the city, beat him half to death, dragged it back, and made some evidence according to Li Chengyang's identity and put it on him. If it is the people around him, it is naturally easy to find the loopholes, not to mention anything else, the few old injuries on Li Chengyang's body are difficult to imitate. It's just that this place is remote and no one knows about it, so I closed the case according to Li Chengyang's identity, and coupled with my deliberate arrangement, the final file looks seamless. ”

Jiang Li sighed twice, and then recalled that he had seen a prisoner in the prison, and at that time he was still wondering why he couldn't see the human form after being beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and he couldn't even speak, it turned out that everything was to cover up the truth and prevent someone from peeping into the mystery. Thinking that Li Xinglin has always been law-abiding on the surface and never selfish, but he didn't expect it to be all lip service, but when he really started, he was very dark.

"Those who achieve great things should be informal." Li Xinglin smiled, completely ignoring Jiang Li's eyes full of disdain, and just peeked at his wife with an extremely straightforward look. This matter is very important, Li Xinglin, just in case, even hid the person next to him, and if he mentions it at this time, he will inevitably be a little weak-hearted.

However, Cao Ru didn't care at all, and nodded again and again when he heard the words, if it weren't for Jiang Li and Yu Haoxin's presence, I was afraid that he would have to give a thumbs up and praise his husband for how well he could strategize.

Thinking about everything he has experienced these days, in fact, it is not out of nowhere, it is really the sin created by this guy Li Xinglin, Jiang Li, who realized it later, let out two cold snorts in his nostrils, turned his head to see Yu Haoxin expressionless, thinking that this guy has always only Cao Ru's dog-headed virtue, as long as Cao Ru opens his mouth, it is a thousand pairs, where will he speak with himself, and he couldn't help but stare at him fiercely.

Yu Haoxin didn't know, looking at the wood grain on the table in a daze.

However, Li Xinglin's figure moved forward slightly, and he secretly compared his fingers in the direction of the red-sleeved building on the side that Cao Ru couldn't see, and raised his eyebrows. Jiang Li, who was about to get up angrily, turned pale, sat back on his seat, thinking that he would not be able to see other girls except Wu Su'er in the Red Sleeve Building now, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Seeing that Jiang Li was coaxed, Li Xinglin breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as the parent official of the ruling party, he usually talks a lot and acts according to the law, and always thinks that everything is a rule, but who would have thought that these killers do not have so many reasons to follow, and if they fail to rob the prison, they will turn to murder and revenge, if it weren't for Jiang Li's desperate efforts to keep the tranquility in danger, it would almost cause a catastrophe. For this matter, he always felt sorry for Jiang Li in his heart, and only said that if he had explained it earlier, everyone would have been careful and would not have dragged him into danger.

Of course, this red-sleeved building is just a joke between men, but the drama of squeezing your eyebrows and making your eyes finally dilute the lingering thoughts in Li Xinglin's heart.

"Therefore, there is the shadow of the Qi people in this, which is somewhat confirmed by Li Zhengtongqi's statement." Jiang Li's brows furrowed, and then Li Xinglin's words combed down, "It's easy to understand that Li Zheng wants Li Chengyang to die, but why are Qi people in a hurry?" ”

The western front was mountainous and the terrain was steep, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack for both Tang and Qi. Now that the war is deadlocked, both Tang and Qi have their eyes on the eastern front, and no one dares to start a war lightly on the western front. It's just that if Li Zheng has already betrayed the Tang Dynasty at this moment, the Qi State should react as soon as Li Chengyang escapes, and before the Tang Dynasty has time to take precautions, the army will drive straight through the western border, and it will be able to capture the hinterland of the Central Plains in one fell swoop and take the Tang Dynasty Kyoto. If Li Zhengshang is undecided, it is also the best and most reasonable choice for the Qi State to let the Tang monarchs and ministers centrifuge after Li Chengyang's revelations, which can not only alleviate the Tang Army's offensive on the eastern front, but also force Li Zheng, who has no way out, to make up his mind to completely fall to the Qi State.

No matter how you say it, Qi Guo shouldn't take the initiative to find trouble with Li Chengyang.

"Or, this killer happened to have grown up in Qidi since childhood." Li Xinglin thought about it for a while, and felt that this possibility was not great, and after looking around, he saw that the other three people also shook their heads slightly, so he lowered his head and thought about it again, and then said his next conjecture, "Or, Li Zheng is through Qi, and it is not the Northern Qi royal family, but the king of the Southern Courtyard who has correspondence with him, Baili Zhengcheng." ”

If Li Zheng and the king of the Southern Courtyard of Northern Qi have a private relationship, everything can be explained.

Li Chengyang fled, no one knows how much evidence he has in his hands, if the news of the private collusion between the two is finally confessed, it is needless to say that the political situation in the Tang Dynasty is unstable, but this news will eventually spread to the Northern Qi side, and it will also be difficult for the king of the Southern Courtyard Baili to explain to the Qi court.

Therefore, in the eyes of the king of the Southern Courtyard of Qi State, Li Chengyang must also die.
