Chapter 320: Substitute for the Dead Ghost (2-in-1)
It's like responding to Li Xiangyang's speculation-
Chu Yan walked up to him and looked at him lightly, "Lone gives you two choices, recruit from the truth, tell the behind-the-scenes instructions, or go to Beiya now." ”
The emperor left alone, and without the order of the crown prince, even the concubines who came with the emperor did not dare to leave.
Everyone present knows what will happen to a suspect who is almost a sure thing, if he enters Beiya.
Everyone's eyes looked at Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyang knew that with the attitude of Emperor Fangcai, he would be a dead person, so he simply gritted his teeth, "I recruit, I recruit everything, but I have one condition, as long as His Highness can agree to this condition, I will tell His Highness who is behind the scenes." ”
"No one dares to talk to Lone about conditions." Chu Yan looked at him coldly, with a hint of sneer in his phoenix eyes, "This case, I've been waiting for five years, but I don't mind waiting any longer." As for you......"
He waved his hand at Chunjun, "Take the Marquis of Yiyang to Beiya, so that you can serve your life." ”
Chunjun took the order and just stepped forward-
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Li Xiangyang had big beads of sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said ......"
He carefully looked at Chu Yan's expression, and said in a trembling voice: "Five years ago, I secretly bought the Imperial Physician Zhou who asked for the pulse of Emperor Xiaode from the Tai Hospital, and asked him to put the powder of 'Lieyang' in Emperor Xiaode's decoction. ”
It's about his biological father, the truth about his death.
Even a person like Chu Yan, who had a strong enough endurance, heard Li Xiangyang's words, and his eyes suddenly burst out with cold killing intent.
Shen Lingxi's expression was not much better than him.
After all, the scapegoat was her dearest little aunt.
It's just that at this time, the more angry you are, the easier it is to lose judgment.
Li Xiangyang recruited it so easily, no matter how you look at it, it is a little strange.
Shen Lingxi took advantage of everyone's shocked effort, approached Chu Yan's side quietly, and reached out to tug at his sleeve.
Chu Yan understood what she meant, and his back, which was tense with anger, relaxed slightly.
"You should know that murdering the prince is tantamount to rebellion, who sent you to do this, and why do you have to kill my father?" He asked in a deep voice.
Li Xiangyang shuddered.
He bowed down, "Back to Your Highness, the commander behind the scenes is in the palace, it is His Royal Highness King Rui."
"What?" Rui Wang, who was sitting in a wooden wheelchair, didn't expect that he would suddenly be identified by Li Xiangyang, and raised his head in astonishment.
A gloomy flash flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Marquis Yiyang, this king has never had much intersection with you, how could this king instruct you to kill the imperial brother?" You're talking nonsense, and you're looking for a decent person. ”
"Your Royal Highness King Rui, do you still want to admit it?" Li Xiangyang didn't look up, and said conclusively, "In this world, the one who can take out the secret medicine of Lieyang must be a member of the Yunjiang royal family, Yun Chong is the first prince of Yunguo, and he can mix as much as he wants." ”
"Yun Chong has always had a great relationship with you, and some of the spices of Tianxiang Pavilion were purchased from Yun Chong back then. In the account book that the crown princess just presented, there should also be a name for spices, and you will know it when you check it. ”
King Rui tightened his eyebrows, "Nonsense, it's nonsense!" Yun Chong is just helping this king heal his leg disease, what does the collusion between him and you have to do with this king! ”
He looked at Chu Yan and said earnestly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't believe his words, ...... minister"
Li Xiangyang interrupted him loudly, "Six years ago, you originally planned to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince first under the pretext of Fu Meng, but unfortunately it didn't work out. ”
"Five years ago, you attacked Emperor Xiaode again, and you used the same trick to kill the King of Wei and the King of Qi, and the Zhao family killed King An."
"This time, you still want to kill the Ten Princes, and then blame His Royal Highness the Prince, so it will be three killings."
"In the end, you will kill the emperor, in this way, this country will be yours, am I saying yes or no?!"
Li Xiangyang almost let go, and every sentence of these words he said was an identification of King Rui.
The content of it was simply appalling, and it shocked the people present and set off a storm in their hearts.
Even King Rui was shocked by Knotty.
Over the years, he has hidden some ambitions, yes.
But it is far from the level that Li Xiangyang said.
It took a while for King Rui to find his voice, "Li Xiangyang, this king doesn't care who the master behind you is, since you keep saying that I instructed you to do this, what is the evidence?" Is there any evidence? ”
When Yiyang Hou heard this, he finally raised his head, looked at him with burning eyes, and said loudly: "Your leg disease has been cured six years ago, but you are still sitting in a wooden wheelchair every day, isn't this evidence?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked at King Rui's legs.
As everyone knows, His Royal Highness King Rui has a disease in the womb, is not good at walking, and can only walk with the help of a wooden wheelchair.
From ancient times to the present day, no cripple has been able to ascend to the throne.
Therefore, no one will regard King Rui, who sits in a wooden wheelchair all day long, as a contender for the throne.
But if he has a disease in his legs, it is fake, coupled with Li Xiangyang's series of identifications......
No one will doubt the truth of Li Xiangyang's words.
Chu Yan was originally angry because Li Xiangyang told the details of killing his father.
But now, as he heard Li Xiangyang's sentence by sentence, one after another seemed to beat King Rui to death.
Chu Yan's expression became more and more solemn, and his eyes became more and more cold.
Not only him, but also Shen Lingxi.
Sure enough, Li Xiangyang admitted that he was the real murderer so quickly, and also identified King Rui, which was another mystery.
If Shen Lingxi hadn't sent Liu Meiren to follow Yun Chong, go to the Drunken Flower Courtyard and see the "Mr. Chunshan".
Today, she and Chu Yan are afraid that they will also believe Li Xiangyang's words.
Li Xiangyang was dying, and he was still struggling so openly, just to find a substitute for the real master behind him.
King Rui, from the moment he believed in Yun Chong, he was already a ghost for the dead.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." King Rui looked at Chu Yan pleadingly, "You believe me, I really didn't kill the imperial brother, and the deaths of several princes are definitely not related to me!" ”
When Li Xiangyang heard this, he also looked at Chu Yan, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the person who is dying, his words are also good, the minister knows that he has committed an unforgivable sin, and Emperor Xiaode died in the hands of the minister. ”
"The minister now confesses everything to His Royal Highness and identifies the murderer, and he has only one wish, that is, to ask His Highness to open up to my son Li Huai, you can cut me with a thousand knives, and please don't hurt my son's hair, otherwise, the minister will be like a knife, and he will not be blind!"
Chu Yanfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
If he heard this in anger, not only would he not let Li Huai go, but he would exchange his way for others.
He will definitely cut Li Xiangyang, his favorite son, with a thousand knives in front of Li Xiangyang, in order to solve the revenge of killing his father.
With Li Xiangyang's brain, he would not have guessed this.
At this time, he deliberately made this kind of request, which was to hate Li Huai to death.
Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at Li Huai, Li Huai straightened his back, knelt on the ground, and looked at Li Xiangyang's gaze, which was full of mockery.
Obviously, he also knew Li Xiangyang's intentions very well.
Chu Yan's gaze swept back and forth on the father and son, and then fell on King Rui, who looked earnest.
"This case not only involves the death of Emperor Xiaode, but also involves the death of the three princes, the stakes are very high, not just based on the words of the two of you, you can make a conclusion, and after the lonely person verifies whether what you said is true, the emperor will be cleared and then the court will be heard. Someone came, and all the cadres in this hall were taken to Beiya, and they were put in the heavenly prison for strict interrogation. ”
When the words fell, the embroidered messenger immediately stepped forward and escorted King Rui, Zhao Guifei, Li Xiangyang, Li Yizheng and the nurse away one by one.
King Rui's face was full of panic, and he couldn't tell whether he was really flustered or pretended to be on his face.
He listened to Yun Chong's words and wanted to kill two birds with one stone, but he didn't expect that he would become a praying mantis that catches cicadas, and there are yellow finches behind.
Zhao Guifei looked back at the ten princes in the arms of the palace maid step by step, biting the handkerchief and crying bitterly.
She just wanted to use her son to turn over and fight for the position of the only prince, and by the way, she trampled on the Li family behind Li Yuejiao on the soles of her feet, but she didn't expect that stealing chickens would not make it a loss of rice, and everything would be empty.
Li Xiangyang shouted in a trembling voice as he walked: "Your Highness, you just promised the minister, as long as the minister tells the truth and tells the instructions behind the scenes, you will give the minister a good time, Your Highness, you have always been true to your word, and you can't go back on your word!" There is also the minister's favorite son, Your Highness must not hurt him! ”
From the day he walked into the chess game, he was destined to die a bad death, and now his only thought is that one counts as one and drags everyone to death.
Li Yizheng and the nurse trembled into a sieve, their legs were weak, and they all relied on embroidered clothes to lift them up and go out.
Everyone on the scene heard the prince's words and saw that all the suspects were taken away by the embroidered messenger, so they hurriedly walked out.
In the huge tent hall, in less than two teas, only Chu Yan, Shen Lingxi, and Li Huai and Li Xiaoqing remained.
The crime that Li Xiangyang is committing now is the crime of rebellion against the family and destroying the clan.
All the people of the Li clan are not immune.
Li Huai and Li Xiaoqing, in the absence of an amnesty, naturally had to be taken away by the embroidered messenger.
The embroiderer waited behind them.
Li Huai kowtowed to Chu Yan and Shen Lingxi, "Thank you, Your Highnesses, for finding out the truth about Tianxiang Pavilion five years ago and overthrowing the Marquis of Yiyang, in this way, I will die without regrets." ”
Chu Yan frowned slightly invisibly.
Because Li Huaicheng was very close to Shen Lingxi under his nose.
He has never had a good impression of Li Huai.
It's just that Chu Yan is not like Shen Lingxi, and Liu Meiren is from the side to solve his doubts, and he is rarely a little curious about Li Huai's abnormal behavior today.
He asked expressionlessly: "Li Xiangyang is your biological father, and you are the son of the Marquis of Yiyang, the Li family has fallen, and there is no benefit to you, why did you stand up and identify him today?" ”
This was not only what Chu Yan wanted to ask, but even Li Xiaoqing, who was kneeling behind Li Huai, was also very curious.
Although Shen Lingxi knew more than them, he didn't know much, and his apricot eyes also looked at Li Huai curiously.
Li Huai was silent for a few breaths, took off his official hat, pulled out the hosta on the top of his head, and his black hair poured down on her shoulders like flowing clouds.
Her facial features are already very delicate, but now that her dark hair is scattered, you can see that she is undoubtedly a woman.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoqing obviously recognized who she was, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
Shen Lingxi saw that the Adam's apple on her neck was fake when she was in the Guogong Mansion in Yunjiang Town, and guessed that she was a woman at that time.
Only Chu Yan looked at the woman in front of him, and then looked at Shen Lingxi, who did not have a look of surprise on his face, his eyebrows were furrowed, and his thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
For more than a month, he ate so much flying vinegar in vain.
"The courtier's surname is Li, and her name is Yuelan."
Li Yuelan tore off the fake Adam's apple attached to her throat, and her voice also regained the softness of a woman, "Li Huai, the younger brother of the courtier, as early as two years ago, when he went out of the house to look for the courtier, he was unfortunately killed by a killer sent by his mother-in-law, mistaken for a courtier. In order to avenge her mother and younger brother, the courtier's daughter survived as a younger brother. ”
"In the past two years, the courtiers have been secretly collecting evidence of Li Xiangyang and his mother-in-law, bullying and arsonizing with slaves, and they are looking forward to the day when the Li family will be able to pay the price, and today's wish has been fulfilled, and the courtiers are grateful."
When Shen Lingxi heard this, a few hints flashed in his heart.
"What did you just say to Li Xiangyang, so that he suddenly hates you so much, and he still wants to borrow the hand of His Highness to cut you with a thousand knives?" She asked curiously.
Li Yuelan's eyes drooped slightly, "Tell him that my younger brother died at the hands of the eldest lady two years ago." Tell him that in the tea leaves I have honored him in the past two years, there is a special medicine for him to make him inhumane. Tell him that although the eldest lady is a wrongdoer, he is also an accomplice, and the heir is the retribution he deserves. ”
Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly raised.
No wonder Fang Cai Liu Meiren looked relieved.
Li Xiangyang is really wrong, he can't live if he does his own evil.
Chu Yan looked at her thoughtfully.
finally understood why Shen Lingxi treated her differently.
He said to the embroidered clothes behind them, "Take them down and keep them alone in one place, so that they can be taken care of." ”
The embroidered clothes made the order, and then took the two down......
*
What happened in the tent hall of the Shangsi Festival, in less than half a day, spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
The Yiyang Marquis Mansion and the Rui Wang's Mansion were surrounded by internal guards and black armor guards.
Every day, there were embroidered messengers, who came in and out of the two mansions, and many people were interrogated.
After the emperor learned of his departure, Li Xiangyang's confession, Long Yan was furious.
The truth about the death of his three sons naturally made him feel more concerned than the death of Emperor Xiaode.
In less than half a month, Chu Yan has been busy collecting evidence in the embroidered clothes envoy, and he didn't have time to go to the Beiya prison for interrogation.
The emperor had already gone to the prison in person to interrogate Li Xiangyang and King Rui no less than ten times.
It's just that the confessions of the two are still the same as when they were in the tent before, passing the buck to each other and denying death.
Chu Yan handed over the things he had found over the past few days to Shen Lingxi one by one.
The nurse admitted that it was King Rui who instructed her to approach Zhao Guifei and bewitch Zhao Guifei, and Zhao Guifei also acquiesced in the case of the poisoning of the Ten Princes, and the mastermind behind the scenes was King Rui. Yun Chong wants to kill two birds with one stone, poison the ten princes, and blame me, so that the two of us will be gone, and King Rui will become the only living heir of the Chu family besides the emperor. The throne is in front of him, and it is difficult for King Rui not to be moved. ”
"That imperial doctor is a distant relative of the Li family, and he knows that his father was poisoned by the scorching sun and cold incense, so after finding out the poison in Shilang this time, he will deliberately cover it up for the Li family."
"From this point of view, before Li Xiangyang identified King Rui, Concubine Zhao and the nurse were King Rui's people, and Dr. Li was Li Xiangyang's person."
"First of all, Yun Chong designed to let the Li family's 'Tianxiang Pavilion' open."
"Li Xiangyang originally thought that this was a case committed by King Rui and had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect Zhao Guifei to take advantage of this to bite out the death of his father five years ago and drag him into the water."
"And King Rui himself counted the Li family, and wanted to see the Li family, Zhao Guifei and us fighting in a tripartite fight, but I didn't expect Li Xiangyang to die in the end, but he splashed dirty water back on him."
"The emperor personally went to the prison to inspect it, and King Rui's leg has indeed been healed for many years. Therefore, compared with King Rui's defense, the emperor is more inclined to believe what Li Xiangyang said - the mastermind behind the poisoning of his father, the eldest prince and the eighth prince is King Rui. ”
Shen Lingxi smiled when he heard this.
She rubbed the half of the embroidered picture in her hand that she put together, "Now we only caught the praying mantis and the cicada, the yellow finch, but we are still hiding in the dark to watch the play." It seems that it's time to take out the chess piece of Mr. Haruzama. ”
Shen Lingxi said, raised his eyes, and looked at Yun Chong and Xu Yuanshan's souls floating side by side not far from them......
There is a little cutie who is confused about the relationship between the characters of the Chu family, and I put the mind map of the relationship between the characters of the Chu family in the book review area.
The character relationship chart on the heroine's side, because it involves spoilers, won't let it go for the time being, and then I'll make a full version when it's over.
