Chapter 266

Because they didn't reveal the slightest rumor in advance, Li Xu, Cao Qian and others were defenseless.

Now that the situation has developed to this point, Li Xu can't hide.

Once the imperial doctor found out that Li Xu was injured, combined with the previous evidence, Li Xu's crime was basically confirmed.

But in a moment, Cao Qian had already made a decision.

The Imperial Physician soon arrived.

In order to be foolproof, there were three imperial doctors who were good at trauma, and Imperial Doctor Chen was among them.

Li Xu was unwilling to be taken to the side hall by the guards and stripped for verification.

The emperor's father-in-law, who was beside him, brought two chamberlains to supervise.

Li Xu wanted to resist, but this was the palace, not to mention the heavy forbidden army, Yu Zheng, Zhou Boxu, Shen Changze and others in the palace all knew martial arts, and he couldn't escape at all.

And once you do it, you don't admit yourself. And when the dynasty resists, the crime will be added to the first degree, and his family will also be affected.

After thinking about it, Li Xu accepted his fate.

The emperor and the hundred officials waited in the palace, and a quarter of an hour later, Imperial Physician Chen and Gonggong Gao and others returned.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Li has a scar on his left arm and back." Gao Gonggong replied truthfully.

Hearing this, there was silence.

The Emperor stared at Imperial Physician Chen.

Imperial Physician Chen arched his hand and said, "After examination, the knife wound on Master Li's body was suffered recently. ”

"Come on, take down Li Xu!" The emperor ordered in a deep voice.

The forbidden army listened to the order and immediately took down Li Xu.

Li Xu did not resist and struggled, and was arrested.

Cao Qian looked at the captured Li Xu with a cold face.

It's a pity that the chess pieces that have been buried for many years are ruined like this.

But now is not the time to regret, it is the right thing to protect yourself.

The emperor stared at Cao Qian, who hung his head, and said sternly: "This case will be presided over by King Jing, and the assistant director of Dali Temple." ”

The crime of assassinating a third-grade courtier is not light, and it is enough for Li Xu's head to fall to the ground.

Of course, it is pointless to kill a Li Xu, and finding out the mastermind behind him is the point.

Feeling the emperor's compelling gaze, Cao Qian's heart sank a little more.

Looks like he's going to have to pick up his movements.

Li Xu was sent to Dali Temple Prison, Yu Zheng was personally interrogated, and Zhang Ting and Xiang Maoyan were assistants.

In the torture room, Li Xu was tied to the torture pillar by Wuhuada, glanced at various torture instruments, and showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

In Dali Temple for many years, he used these torture instruments to interrogate many prisoners, but he never imagined that one day they would be used on himself.

After receiving Yu Zheng's signal, Xiang Maoyan glared at Li Xu and said, "You are familiar with these torture instruments, which one do you want to start with first?" Or do you want to try them all? ”

Li Xu's scalp tightened: "Lord Wang, is this going to be bent into a move?" ”

Although he had never tasted these torture instruments, he knew exactly what it was like.

All over again? No matter how tough the guy is, he can't resist.

Yu Zheng tapped his chair and stroked his hand for a while, and said slowly: "The rules of Dali Temple, Master Li, I know it." ”

Regardless of whether he is wronged or not, he must be punished first when he enters Dali Temple. If they can resist the criminal law, they will be interrogated again.

The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, Li Xu looked at Yu Zheng and said, "Don't be so troublesome, what does the prince want me to recruit, just say it." ”

"Really?" Yu Zheng looked at Li Xu with a cold face: "Tell me the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

Li Xu's eyes flashed: "There is no mastermind behind the scenes, I just want to sit in the position of Dali Siqing, so I have murderous intentions." ”

This sin is a solid fact and cannot be denied.

As for the rest, Yu Zheng had no evidence, and Li Xu didn't dare to say it.

"Sure enough, you killed Master Sun!" Hearing Li Xu's personal admission, Xiang Maoyan was furious.

Zhang Ting, who had not spoken, also had anger on his face.

It is not wrong for people to go to a high place and want to sit in the position of Dali Siqing, but they should not use this despicable and vicious means.

"That's it?" Yu Zheng asked in a deep voice.

Li Xu insisted: "That's just it." ”

Yu Zheng snorted coldly and waved his hand to let the jailer be punished.

As a rule, the punishment is first flogging, soaked in chili pepper water, and then burning......

Li Xu gritted his teeth and resisted until the jailer smeared honey on his wound and poured the ants on him.

"Ahh Screams rang out from the prison.

Ten thousand ants eroded his heart, and the painful Li Xu trembled all over, and his teeth were almost crushed.

But he didn't dare to recruit, and if he did, he would not be able to directly convict Cao Qian without empirical evidence. If Cao Qian doesn't die, his family will have to die.

Li Xu trembled like a sifting chaff, resisted stubbornly, and finally fainted in pain.
