Suddenly, when Liu Xuan saw that Liu Qi's gaze fell on him, he couldn't help but panic.

"Third brother, what are you looking at me for? I've been called back to Beijing. ”

Liu Qi stepped forward and smiled slightly.

"Big brother, don't panic, the third brother didn't say it was you."

"I just hope that the eldest brother can explain why you didn't go to the city immediately when you returned to Kyoto that day, but stayed outside for one night first?"

At this time, Zhang Dehai was asked to investigate the results before.

Although I knew in my heart that it was related to the queen, I might be worried that he would come back this time and it would be a bad result.

Therefore, let him wait outside the city first, and then make a decision after finding out the emperor's tone.

At that time, Liu Qi didn't take it seriously, because he came back one day earlier and one day later, which didn't have much to do with it.

But now it's different, this time is just the opposite of the time when Qin Wei traveled, and it was also after Huyanchar escaped from prison.

Liu Xuanleng froze.

Could it be said that it was because the queen was worried that His Majesty would confiscate his military power, so as to replace his fourth brother Liu Yin to Youzhou?

If you really say that, it means that you are suspicious of the emperor, and I am afraid that you will not directly remove your own king of Youzhou.

"After receiving the edict from my father, the king rushed back to Qingdu non-stop, and the reason why I stayed outside for a day was to let my father and mother see my good mental state and not worry."

Is there something wrong with that? It's a little far-fetched, but it's still passable.

Be considerate of your parents, human nature.

"The eldest brother is sincere, and I naturally believe the third brother, but I just want to ask, who can prove what you did on the night you stayed?"

As soon as Liu Qi's words came out, the civil and military officials sighed.

Looking at Liu Xuan's sluggish expression, he could guess that he had no way to prove what he had done outside the city that night.

During this time, with his identity, it is entirely possible to arrange for Huyanchar to settle in a safe place.

"Father, Liu Qi is talking nonsense, and his sons are wronged!"

As he spoke, Liu Xuan glanced at Liu Qi fiercely.

Liu Qi knew very well that from this moment on, the contradiction between him and Liu Xuan and Liu Yin was irreconcilable.

But how could they ever really love themselves?

Did they defend themselves in this matter?

No, not at all!

Since you are ruthless to me, then don't blame me for Liu Qi's unrighteousness!

Emperor Qing did not respond to Liu Xuan's words. Instead, his eyes fell on Liu Qi's body.

"Just now you said that before Huyanchar's assassination, there was another person who came back from outside the city, who are you talking about?"

In the eyes of everyone, they saw Liu Qi suddenly turn around, and pointed to Yang Wenyuan, who was standing at the front of the ministers.

"Prince, what do you mean by that? Does it mean that the old man can't make it? ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand in the direction of the emperor.

"The old minister was ordered by the emperor to go to Suzhou to inspect the homeless people, and when he returned, he almost never stopped halfway, and when he arrived outside the city, and there was a captain of the city gate to inspect him, how could he have anything to do with that Huyan Char?"

But this time, Liu Qi didn't speak, but Zhang Shi stood up with a booklet in his hand.

"Lord Yang, after asking the lower officials, I know that when you returned, except for resting normally, you didn't stay too much."

"But when I arrived in Qingdu, Captain Dong Shan did not conduct too much strict inspection of your carriage, and after seeing you lift the curtain, he let you go."

"Xia Guan dared to ask my lord, after you returned to the house, who handed over the carriage to? Where did you put it? ”

Yang Wenyuan looked angry.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course, it's put in the horse pen, is it possible to bring it into the house? ”

Zhang Shi nodded.

"Okay, then the official dares to ask again. The groom took the carriage back in circles, but someone saw it, and at the same time, how long did it take him to make this process? ”

Liu Qi smiled secretly in his heart.

How can Yang Wenyuan answer this kind of question.

Don't say it's him, I'm afraid that all the ministers of the court, who will care where their carriage was taken by the groom.

But that's the point.

"How would the old man know, Your Majesty, I have never crossed paths with that Huyanchar, how could I be involved in this matter?"

"Your Highness, you are clearly confusing the public, everyone knows that before this, only you and Qin Wei have seen Huyanchar."

Everyone's eyes fell on Liu Qi.

What can be seen is that he looks calm.

Not only that, but he also took a few steps in the direction of Yang Wenyuan.

"Lord Yang, this king and Qin Wei have seen that Huyanchar is true, and everything they ask is about Wang Zhen, and this king does not make any arguments about this."

"However, after Wang Zhen's accident, this king heard that you also went to prison, and in that prison, Huyanchar was being held."

When Yang Wenyuan heard this, his face turned red, and he immediately looked at Emperor Qing.

"Your Majesty, the old minister and that Wang Zhennai are one of the few old ministers, so thinking of the old relationship, to visit in prison is the sinful of the minister, but the old minister, there has never been any intersection with that Huyanchar."

At this time, Zhang Shi spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials can testify about this matter, after the confession of the jailer that day, after Lord Yang was imprisoned, he really only met with Wang Zhen, and did not have any intersection with that Huyanchar."

Hearing this, Yang Wenyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at Zhang Shi with grateful eyes.

The expressions of the crowd also followed Zhang Shi's words, and gradually eased.

But everyone didn't expect that Zhang Shi would have a later story.

"However, the lower official learned through the jailer's confession that Huyanchar's cell was not very far from the cell where Wang Zhen was."

"On that day, Wang Zhen suddenly became mentally abnormal, yelled and yelled, and had an intersection with Huyanchar at the door of the cell."

"Although he didn't say anything, he made a gesture at him, and the jailers didn't know what he meant, and so far, they couldn't judge what Wang Zhen meant by Huyanchar."

At this time, Yang Wenyuan's eyes were like copper bells. The emotions are also very exciting.

"Zhang Shi, you slander this official!"

Liu Qi chuckled a few times.

"Lord Yang, what are you anxious about? Lord Zhang didn't say it because you asked Wang Zhen to do this. ”

"But, Lord Yang, should you prove what you told Wang Zhen that day?"

"It's just talking about old things."

"Well, who can prove it?"

It was another old-fashioned statement, however, it stumped Yang Wenyuan.

Because at this moment, no one will believe anything he says, everything is such a coincidence, and he, Yang Wenyuan, has an unshirkable suspicion.

But then, Zhang Shi suddenly picked up the booklet again, and the next words made everyone present like frightened birds.
