Jet-black blood spilled on the table and floor, emitting a string of white foam and mist, and a discerning person could see that it was mixed with poison.

Pei Zheng, who witnessed the scene of Wen Feng vomiting blood, had a look of shock on his face, and there was only one thought left in his mind: Are you crazy?

Isn't it good to return to Chang'an alive? Even if it is a fake to bring back the prince of the grassland, can't you take it as a fake and a real one?

Who in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had ever seen the real prince of the grassland? Even if someone came up with substantial evidence to denounce him, he could completely shift the responsibility to the Hu people.

Playing this kind of bitter meat trick of being poisoned and assassinated, aren't you afraid that the Li family will simply kill people and kill them?

Why do you want to die and find a place where no one is to commit suicide, don't bother Lao Tzu?

......

Pei Zheng poured out the vocabulary he had learned in the two lives, and greeted the eighteenth generation of Wenfeng's ancestors in his heart.

Wen Feng spat out a few mouthfuls of black blood, his lips squirmed, he couldn't even speak, and his body couldn't stop falling back.

Lin Xing, who was too shocked and stunned on the spot, finally reacted, stepped forward violently, and rushed to hold Wen Feng before he fell, without saying a word, mobilized a wisp of true qi through the Shaofu acupoint into Wen Feng's body, and quickly swam around to check.

The true qi escapes and is chaotic.

Lin Xing's expression changed slightly when he learned the result, and he gritted his teeth and crossed a large stream of true qi to stabilize Wen Feng's breath.

"What do you think, Lord Wen?"

With Lin Xing's true qi maintained, Wen Feng was pulled back from the death line, and his state improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he struggled and said, "Don't worry about the old man, let's see if the prince of the grassland is sick?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously looked over, just in time to see the white fat boy bleeding from the chair.

Shi Luoning, the Jinzhou assassin closest to the white fat boy, was like lightning forward, grabbed the person with his right hand, probed his nose with his left hand, and said in a cold and suppressed anger: "The person is gone." ”

Pei Zheng's heart was cold, this dead old man really wanted to burn with the Li family's jade.

Is there an uncommon hatred between you and the Li family for killing your father and taking your wife? Do you want to pull the Li family into the water desperately?

Wen Feng was excited when he heard this, spit out a mouthful of blood again, and said like crazy: "The Li family, it is the poison of the Li family, and the Li family dares to destroy the Hu people's plan to join Daxia for the sake of the family's interests, which is the crime of exterminating the clan." ”

"Lord Luo, General Lin, hurry up, the Li family wants to kill people, and it's too late. ”

However, Luo Ning and Lin Xing, who should cooperate with Wen Feng's acting, looked cold and unmoved.

There are too many unusual things about the facts happening in front of them, if the two of them can't even see the slightest abnormality, they are casually led by Wen Feng's nose, why are they in a high position?

Luo Ning looked at Wen Feng with a gloomy face: "This official and Lord Wen have no grievances in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, why does Lord Wen want to calculate me?"

Wen Feng's lame reason is a joke in Luo Ning's opinion, even if the Li family wants to destroy the Hu people's attachment, there is a way, why take the stupidest method and poison their own house?

On the contrary, Wen Feng directed and acted in a bitter plan, and it is more likely that he will take the opportunity to frame the Li family.

It's just that at the moment, the prince of the grassland is poisoned and dies, and Wen Feng himself may die of poison at any time.

Luo Ning couldn't determine the true situation for a while, so he said a tentative word.

Wen Feng looked at Luo Ning with a look of disbelief, and directly poured a basin of dirty water: "I didn't expect Lord Luo to be a fellow party member of the Li family? Are you worthy of Your Majesty's trust in making you a feudal official? Are you worthy of the expectations of the imperial court and the eight million people of Jinzhou?"

When Luo Ning heard this, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he had a trace of doubt in his heart, could it really be that the Li family did it?

Wen Feng leaned on Lin Xing and looked at Luo Ning with a sneer on his face: "Luo Ning, do you think that you colluded with the Li family to kill the official and the prince of the grassland to destroy the Hu people's attachment, and escaped the pursuit of His Majesty and the imperial court?"

"How about this official make a bet with you, once the court investigates it, do you think the Li family will push you out to be a scapegoat?"

Luo Ning looked moved when he heard this.

From an outsider's point of view, Pei Zheng, who watched this scene coldly, had to admit that Wen Feng's use of the prisoner's dilemma to manipulate Luo Ning was indeed a difficult conspiracy.

The prince of the grassland was poisoned and died in the Li Mansion, and there is no doubt that the most suspicious is the Li family.

Luo Ning is deeply involved in it, and he is also inseparable.

At present, Luo Ning has two choices, first, believe in the Li family, and believe that the poisoning has nothing to do with the Li family, and someone or one of Wen Feng or Lin Xingpei Zheng poisoned the prince of the grassland to blame the Li family.

Second, it was determined that the poisoner was the Li family.

However, this case involves the proton of the vassal state and the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and it is not Luo Ning's conclusion that the coffin of the Jinzhou assassin can be concluded, and Emperor Jian'an will definitely send a messenger and professional case-handling personnel to investigate thoroughly.

Wen Feng dared to do such a thing, Pei Zheng believed that he would not leave any handle, not to mention that Wen Feng had no motive to poison on the surface.

Even if Qin Cha will not be able to find substantial evidence of the Li family's poisoning for a while and a half, he will preconceived that this case is related to the Li family, and the subordinates who are responsible for preparing the banquet will be arrested and tortured to extract confessions, including Li He.

At this point, the Li family was forced into a corner.

First of all, there is almost no possibility of the Li family rebelling.

It is true that the Li family is the top family in Great Xia, but the Great Xia has been established for more than 200 years, and today it is peaceful, the people are attached, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty generally recognize the royal family of Great Xia.

As long as the Li family dares to pull the flag and rebel, they will immediately fall into isolation, and then be exterminated by the counterinsurgency army.

On the contrary, the Li family honestly accepted the investigation, walked around the relationship, and threw out the scapegoat at the right time, which could minimize the loss and preserve the family.

The Li family rebelled, naturally deserving of death, and the clan should be exterminated, but the Li family kept to himself, even the emperor could not destroy the entire Li family on trumped-up charges.

Otherwise, the world's big families will feel that their lips and teeth are cold, and people's hearts will fluctuate.

So the question is, what scapegoat would be more suitable and valuable than the feudal official Jinzhou Thorn Shi who drank and feasted with the prince of the steppe?

A feudal official who took refuge in the family, but if the emperor has a little imperial tricks, he can't tolerate him.

In this way, Luo Ning has only one choice.

I saw Luo Ning righteously said: "Lord Wen misunderstood, this official is just a temptation, now it seems that the poisoner must be the Li family, this official will escape from the thief's den and bring people back to arrest the murderer." ”

An inexplicable look of joy flashed in Wen Feng's eyes.

"Lord Luo is slow, the Li family is powerful, and you must not act rashly. ”

Luo Ning asked with a look of surprise on his face, "What does Master Wen mean by this?"

Wen Feng explained: "As we all know, the Li family's power is deep-rooted, and there are countless martial arts powerhouses in the clan. ”

"At that time, don't say that the murderer is arrested, Lord Luo and this official will die at the hands of the Li family, according to what this official sees, after Lord Luo escapes from the Li Mansion, don't overpublicize this matter, immediately send someone to report to Your Majesty, and let Your Majesty send someone over. ”

Luo Ning glanced at Wen Feng deeply, and at this moment, he was extremely sure that the Li family was deliberately framed by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites in front of him.

Who would have thought that the Li family would receive a kind reception, but it would lead the wolf into the room and suffer from it.

Thinking of this, Luo Ning felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart, not because Wen Feng framed the Li family, but because the other party calculated that he would deal with the Li family with him.

If he had the opportunity, he would let this waiter of the Ministry of Rites know that the feudal officials were not so easy to calculate.

"Lord Wen is thoughtful, and the official must refer to the implementation and take his leave. ”

Wen Feng spoke again to stop him: "Lord Luo, slow down. ”

Luo Ning stopped, and there was already a trace of impatience in his expression: "What else does Master Wen have to order?"

Wen Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air slightly, pointed at Lin Xing and said: "This official is highly poisonous, whether he is alive or dead is still unknown, but General Lin is still unharmed, this official hopes that Lord Luo will take him with him, don't let him be poisoned by the Li family." ”

Lin Xing frowned slightly, and just wanted to speak, when suddenly a strange feeling came from his palm.

Sensing carefully, Wen Feng wrote eight words in the palm of his hand: "The son of the world is fake, abandon the fake and be true." ”

Lin Xing's expression froze, nodded slightly, and finally didn't say anything.

A flash of anger flashed in Luo Ning's eyes, not to mention the calculation of the official, but also to arrange someone to monitor the official, really let the official knead it?

"This is the proper righteousness, General Lin, leave with this official quickly. ”

Hmph, I won't worry about you for the time being, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow for a long time, and we'll see.

Lin Xing looked at Pei Zheng, who was standing in the distance, his expression was uncertain, and shouted: "Why are you kid stunned, hurry up and pack up and leave with Ben." ”

Wen Feng immediately objected: "He can't go." ”

"Everyone is gone, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the Li family, and besides, this official is highly poisoned and needs someone to take care of him, so he must stay. ”

Lin Xingyu couldn't bear to say: "But Pei Zheng is easy to be angry with the Li family if he stays, and if something changes, it will be a dead end." ”

"He has no merit and hard work along the way, why can't Lord Wen give him a way to live?"

Wen Feng grabbed his hand tightly, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "No." The official vouched for his life, and with the official here, he couldn't die. ”

Lin Xing's face was struggling, and it was difficult to make a decision.

At this time, Luo Ning and the others were impatient, and couldn't help urging: "Do you want to go or not?"

Wen Feng tried his best to push Lin Xing away, his face was full of madness and determination: "Go." For the sake of Great Xia and Your Majesty, go quickly. ”

A touch of unwillingness appeared on Lin Xing's face, he closed his eyes and put Wen Feng down, got up decisively and stepped out of the lobby, his voice suppressed anger and unwillingness: "Go." ”

Luo Ning followed closely and walked out.

For some reason, Pei Zheng saw this scene, not only did he lose his initial anger, but his mind was unusually calm.

With a humble status and low strength, it seems that there is nothing strange about being chosen as a sacrifice by a big man.

Just like killing pigs and slaughtering sheep during the New Year's holidays to celebrate, who cares what pigs and sheep think?

True anger will never be a barking dog, but a splash of blood.
