He Yiqiu stood in front of Li Shiheng, shook his head lightly, and said disdainfully: "This official sees, you are not fornicating with Tubo at all, you have been bought by the Tubo people and become their meticulous work." ”

Above the court, Li Shiheng was slightly stunned, and then he felt endless coldness attacking his body.

Why did he continue to speak coldly: "According to the Tang law, those who have a secret conquest and tell the thief the news will be beheaded...... If he becomes a spy without solicitation, if he becomes an outsider as a spy or sends letters to an insider, and is subject to the knowledge of the person who is tolerated, he will be hanged...... Those who commit all crimes together will be beheaded all over the house, and their cousins will flow for 3,000 miles, and their relatives and daughters will not be enslaved in the court, and they will not be pardoned if they are pardoned. ”

Li Shiheng suddenly sat down on the ground.

Li Xuan sat aside, looking at Li Shiheng coldly, without the slightest sympathy in his eyes.

In the Tang Law, the crime of espionage is divided into four situations.

First, to provide information on the conquest of the army to the enemy; second, to provide other types of court secrets to enemy countries; 3. Assisting the enemy to enter the country privately, or sending messages to other people to spy on information; Fourth, receiving letters from enemy countries or harboring foreign spies.

To put it bluntly, Li Shiheng committed all four crimes, and all crimes were punished together, although he was not from the Yi three clans, but he was not far from the Yi three clans.

He Yiqiu stood in front of Li Shiheng, his eyes drooped, and the corners of his mouth were cold and continued: "Although your name is Li Shiheng, you are not surnamed Li, you are from Youzhou, and your surname is Xu, so you are reused by the British public, and at the same time, you are also asked to change your surname to Li." ”

Li Shiheng couldn't help but shudder, and a frightened thought rose in his heart.

"Your name is Xu Shiheng, your home is in Jixian County, Youzhou, Xujiazhuang in the western suburbs, you have parents alive, you have a brother, and your brother has three sons, all of whom have become married; You also have an older sister who joined the Zhou family in Dingzhou in her early years and has a son and a daughter; In addition, Xujiazhuang still has a lot of relatives of your clan, and you also have four cousins of the two clans, a total of forty-eight men, all of whom are going to be exiled, and their wives and children are not enslaved in the court, and their descendants, within three generations, have no chance to become officials. ”

He Yiqiu lowered his body slightly, leaned into Li Shiheng's ear, and said softly: "Do you know what this means, this means that the people of your clan, if they don't encounter a great opportunity, then within three generations, the entire Xu clan in Jixian County will be completely wiped out, and there will be no male clansmen alive." ”

A cold air suddenly rose from Li Shiheng's spine, and lightning had already permeated his whole body, and the whole person couldn't help but shiver.

"The fields are barren, the houses are abandoned, the ancestors are not allowed to sacrifice, and the descendants are completely extinct." He Qiu looked at Li Shiheng with pity, and said softly: "Don't worry, this official only needs an official letter, the Jixian County Order, and he will guarantee that he will definitely do this, or even more ruthlessly."

No matter where your children and grandchildren flee, they will be wanted forever, even if they are sheltered.

Do you think that in this case, after you die, there will be someone who will go to such trouble to protect them? ”

Before he could finish speaking, Li Shiheng had already lowered his head deeply.

Attack the heart.

Everyone present understood that Li Shiheng had collapsed.

Why did he want to put all the blame for the extermination of the three clans on Li Shiheng's body.

If in this case, Li Shiheng is really willing to bear all the responsibility for Li Jingye, then everyone present can only admit it, but ......

"There's a letter."

Li Shiheng lowered his head, sighed lightly, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had already said directly: "In the last box on the right, there is a letter.

In November last year, although the Tubo people offered four times the price, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo was imminent, and the general public understood the power of this, not to mention us.

I waited for several persuasions, but my grandfather still forced us to secretly collect pig iron and set off. ”

The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the whole world, and the people of the world are proud to become Tang people, and only a very small number of people will choose to betray the Tang Dynasty and take refuge in other countries.

Although Li Jingye did not have the idea of taking refuge in Tibet, there was no difference between what he did and what he did in Tibet.

Especially the steward of the British Mansion and the steward of the caravan had persuaded him more than once, but he still chose to do so, which was already knowingly.

He Qiu quickly found the letter, glanced at it himself, and then passed it to Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan and Pei Yan above.

The three of them couldn't help but turn their heads sideways after taking a look, this letter alone was enough to send Li Jingye to the eighteenth layer of hell.

After Li Dan took the letter, he couldn't help but slap it on the table beside him.

A loud "bang" means the anger of the royal family.

Li Xuan took the letter from Li Dan's hand, and while reading it, he said: "In order to prepare for the war of military rations, the queen of heaven has been sleepless day and night, painstakingly lonely; For the sake of the worries of the army, the saints were deeply attentive to Wuzhou, Silla, and Turkic. But our English duke, alas! ”

Li Xuan sighed, Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan and Pei Yan, their faces changed instantly.

Once this sentence spreads, it will immediately become the sharpest blade for countless ministers to impeach Li Jingye.

The king of Nanchang hates Li Jingye for not dying!

Pei Yan's gaze swept over Li Dan on the side.

Li Dan kept nodding in agreement, his eyes full of anger and ferocity.

……

Why did he hand the letter to Changshi, and Changshi recorded it quickly, and then he looked at Li Shiheng again.

"Very well, with your words, your clansmen and cousins will not be implicated in any way." He Yiqiu looked at Li Shiheng, who breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to speak, saying: "The matter has come to this, you should also think about your two sons, this official wants to come, this should be the reason why you apologize for the British public." ”

Li Shiheng raised his head in great horror, and he was already at war with heaven and man in his heart.

On the one hand, he was loyal to the British duke, and on the other hand, he was worried about his two sons.

I was terrified.

A voice told him that you had betrayed the British Duke and that you cared about something.

A voice was warning him, even so, how powerful the British public is, even if he escapes this time, countless people will hunt him down.

Seeing that Li Shiheng was extremely hesitant, wanting to say but not daring to say it, He Yuqiu glanced at Li Xuan in surprise.

Subsequently, He Yuqiu resolutely continued to speak: "This official guarantees that as long as you open your mouth, your two sons will be absolutely safe and sound, and there may be dangers in other places, but if this official sends your two sons to the command of the king of Nanchang, the perennial border state, and the commander of the soldiers, I think it will not be so easy to be killed." ”

Li Shiheng subconsciously looked up at Li Xuan, Li Xuan nodded solemnly, and Li Shiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Yan, who saw this scene, couldn't help but turn his head sideways.

No wonder he always felt that today's interrogation, the familiar taste is very strong, he was still strange, when did Dali Temple have such a powerful temple and he didn't know, it turned out that all this was the ghost of the king of Nanchang in secret.

Pei Yan's face flashed with momentary embarrassment, but at this time, Li Shiheng finally spoke.

"Other previous events, the villain doesn't know, but at the beginning of November last year, it was supposed to be Chenshizheng's caravan departure, but suddenly the caravan captain said that he wanted to leave early, and the villain was originally unwilling, after all, the villain was the caravan director, and he was going to scold him, but he took out the private seal of the prince and forcibly asked the villain to leave in advance." Li Shiheng shook his head bitterly and said: "The villain had to comply, and later the villain also wrote to ask Guogong, and Guogong asked the villain not to meddle in his affairs. ”

The caravan supervisor, managing the affairs of the caravan, is called nosy?

"And what about the captain of the guard?" Why couldn't help but ask.

"He died, and on the day of the Qianniuwei raid, he and his men resisted and were killed by the Qianniuwei." Li Shiheng bowed his head slightly.

All the people present had solemn faces.

How could they not understand that what these people under Li Jingye were secretly doing was all more serious than selling pig iron to Tibet.

But the man died.

He Qiu shook his head calmly and said, "The person is dead, and it's useless for you to say anything." ”

"No, there is." Li Shiheng raised his head, stared at He Yiqiu, and said with a short breath: "That private seal, if nothing else, should have been found by Qianniuwei on the corpse, but because that private seal has a mystery, except for our own people, outsiders don't know that it is the private seal of the national government." ”

"Go get it!" He Yiqiu immediately looked to the side, and a Dali Temple priest immediately quickly went to the treasury behind.

Li Xuan sat on the side and waved his left hand slightly.

The next moment, the two Qianniu guards had already surrendered, and then followed quickly.

The entire lobby was solemn, and everyone understood that once the private seal was taken, Li Jingye would be completely equated with fornication.

But......

……

A thumb-sized seal was placed on the hall case, Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan, and Pei Yan looked at this one with the word "Qi" engraved on it.

Qi, Shandong, the hometown of Li Yuanji, King of Qi.

Cui Mi, Duan Baoxuan, and Pei Yan looked at each other, they had never heard of Li Jingye, even if Li Qian had anything to do with Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

Even when the Xuanwumen Revolution occurred, Li Li chose to stay out of the matter, and even at the beginning, he had a close relationship with the Qin Palace.

"Why is it a homogeneous word?" Duan Baoxuan took the initiative to speak, why did he want to stand aside immediately.

Li Shiheng raised his head, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said: "The old lady was awarded the title of Duke of Laiguo back then, and Lai was in Qidi, so he used the word Qi. ”

Everyone suddenly realized that the Xu family was born in Caozhou, Shandong, and was named the Duke of Laiguo, so Lai was replaced by the word Qi, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"Many stewards in the caravan are clear about this matter, and the Shangguan can go and ask casually." Li Shiheng sighed lightly, completely blocking Li Jingye's retreat.

Duan Baoxuan knocked lightly on the table, and then said: "Summons Qianniuwei to ask what happened on the second day of November last year?" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Duan Baoxuan in horror at the same time.

In this sentence, Duan Baoxuan just wants to put the last nail on Li Jingye's coffin board.

It must be a big deal to make Li Jingye's subordinates leave Chang'an in a hurry.

Such a thing, Chang'an Wannian Second County can't hold it at all, as for Dali Temple, at that time, Duan Baoxuan was already the secretary of Dali Temple.

Pei Yan closed his mouth tightly at this time, at that time last year, although he was in the grassland, the affairs of the Criminal Department had never been hidden from him.

In November last year, there were no major cases in the Criminal Department.

Fortunately, there is no major case, and this matter does not involve him.

It's a pity that there is no big case, otherwise there would have been an operation in this matter.

……

Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang handed over an official document to He Yan solemnly, looked at Duan Baoxuan, Pei Yan and Cui Mi with a serious face, and said: "On the night of November 2 last year, a worker transporting night incense in Zhongshu Province fell into the water and died. ”

"Last December, it won't be the matter of this king staying in Hangzhou, right?" Li Xuan on the side looked up a little uncertainly.

Last winter, the most important thing for the Tang Dynasty was to withdraw its troops from Silla.

In Yangzhou, Li Xuan killed most of the Silla people in the dark line, leaving only one or two people to pass on false information back to Silla, while he himself went to Hangzhou to contact the Japanese and let the Japanese build momentum in the southern part of Silla, resulting in a considerable part of the Silla people having a considerable number of troops and pinning them down on the southern front.

In the end, Datang successfully withdrew its troops.

Duan Baoxuan, Pei Yan and Cui Mi immediately understood that this was bound to be the case.

Li Jingye, it's over.
