Chapter 71: Arraignment
Yun Zhao lived on Yingzui Rock, spending half of his time studying military books and listening to Shen Feng explain some cases of uniting troops in combat. The other half of his time was spent diligently practicing swordsmanship and archery, and fighting horses on Yingzui Rock. The gangsters practiced together, keeping themselves too busy to think about anything else. Only in the dead of night would Yun Zhao take out the package and rub it carefully.
At this time, in a quiet courtyard in Shangjing, the capital of Dayue, Rou Niang was also looking in the direction of Lucheng dreamingly. She believed that Yun Zhao was definitely not dead. Now Rou Niang knew that the person who saved her was Who is it? That is the son of Emperor Dai Viet. Every time she thinks of this, Rou Niang gets excited. She has a chance to avenge herself, and that is the son of the emperor. When he avenges her and avenges her, she will Go back to Lucheng, go back to Yunjia Village, where Brother Yun will definitely be waiting for you at home.
In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince was listening to Xu Wei's report, with no expression on his face. Xu Wei was a little uneasy, "Fourth Master, I really tried my best, but it's a pity that Lucheng is now run by Sima Rui. It's like an iron bucket, and you really can't find any loopholes."
Li Xiao nodded, "You don't have to have any ideas, just try your best. I didn't expect that Sima Rui is also a talented person. In the past, this person was unknown in Sima's family. After going to Lucheng for more than half a year, he was able to completely control Lucheng. It shouldn’t be underestimated. As for what happened in Lucheng, you didn’t gain anything, but I did get some clues here.”
Xu Wei was shocked. He went to Lucheng in person and found nothing. The fourth master was sitting in Shangjing City. Where did the clues come from? Looking at Xu Wei's surprised eyes, Li Xiao pulled out a letter from the desk and said, "Look Look, this is a letter sent by Feng Congyi, the former guard of Lucheng, to the Feng family. You will understand it as soon as you read it."
Xu Wei took the letter with surprise and uncertainty, and hurriedly scanned it, his face changed color suddenly, and stood up Huo Di, "Fourth Master, if what Feng Congyi said in the letter is true, then he is betraying the country and supporting the enemy, which is a very serious crime. "Yes, I want to report to Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Li Xiao waved his hand, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, this is just a guess without any evidence. How can you convince your majesty? This involves the disciples of the eldest brother. If there is no conclusive evidence, such a rash report will be made." , what do you think His Majesty will think of me?"
"But Fourth Master, if this matter is not contained, there will be endless harm!" Xu Wei said.
"Master Xu, this matter must not be mentioned without proof. When you come back this time, you can report the destruction of Yunjia Village to His Majesty in detail. This involves the disciples of eldest brother, so there is no need to worry. What’s more, I need to make it clear that this woman was requested by my eldest brother, do you understand?”
"Yes!" Xu Wei nodded.
"Even if this case of slaughtering villages and robbing people is confirmed, we still can't move Big Brother. Therefore, we have to find another way. Suo Wenhai is one of the ways. If Suo Wenhai can open his mouth, then our confidence will greatly increase."
"It's been so long and Suo Wenhai still hasn't spoken?" Xu Wei said in surprise.
"You have a tough mouth!" Li Xiao smiled bitterly, "My elder brother is really good at training disciples. My subordinates tried their best. This man looked skinny and bones, but he didn't open his mouth."
"It seems that the only way to find a solution is to look at him." Xu Wei said: "After the official returned, he immediately broke the news. This case of destroying villages and robbing people has solid evidence. Your Majesty has no way to question it."
"Well, you go ahead!" Li Xiao waved his hand, "This trip has been hard."
"Fourth Master, thank you for your trouble!" Xu Wei bowed and left the study.
Li Xiao sat by the desk and pondered for a long time. He picked up Feng Congyi's letter and read it over and over again. He stood up and said, "Here comes someone!"
"Fourth Master!" At the door of the study, a guard stepped in.
"Let's go to another hospital. I want to interrogate that Suo Wenhai in person!"
Suo Wenhai was carried in by two people. Both of his legs were broken. His originally thin face was now swollen and fatter than a pig's head. Most of his teeth were missing. He was carried in by two guards and went to
As soon as it was thrown on the ground, it collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
Looking at Suo Wenhai's appearance, Li Xiao raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he had suffered a lot, but he could still hold on. His bones were indeed very hard.
"Suo Wenhai!" Li Xiao's deep voice rang out.
Hearing the sound, Suo Wenhai put his hands on the ground, raised his head with difficulty, managed to open his swollen eyes that were narrowed to a slit, and looked at Li Xiao, "Fourth Master, please kill me!"
Hey hey hey! Li Xiao sneered, "Death is easy, but here, without my permission, you can't die even if you want to. How can you do this? How many days can he survive like this? Go and find the best doctor.
Come, treat his injury." The last few words were said to the two people who came in carrying Suo Wenhai.
"Yes, Fourth Master, I will go right away." The doctor is ready, and the doctor who treated Rou Niang has been under house arrest in another courtyard.
"Fourth Master, I don't know anything. What do you want me to say? I really don't know!" Suo Wenhai communicated with tears. He knew that Li Xiao didn't tell lies. He didn't want to die, so he would just do it.
Really can't die.
Li Xiao snorted coldly, looked away, and ignored him, just tapping the desk gently with his fingers.
The doctor came soon. When he saw the people on the ground injured like this, the doctor was surprised. But he also knew where this place was. Apart from pretending to be dumb, did he have any other options? Did he mention it?
Medicine box, quickly took out medicine from it.
"Fourth Master, both of his legs are broken and need to be splinted." The doctor looked up at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded and immediately trotted out of the hall. In a moment, a few smooth wood chips came in. The doctor's skills were really good. In less than a cup of tea, Suo Wenhai's broken leg was wrapped up.
stand up.
"Fourth Master, this man suffered some internal injuries and needs to take medicine."
"You go and write a prescription, and someone will pick it up!" Li Xiao waved his hand, "You go out!"
After being fiddled with by the doctor, the severe pain in his legs was greatly relieved. Suo Wenhai felt a little more comfortable, but the fear in his heart only increased. Why did the fourth master want to treat his injuries? It was naturally so that he could live longer.
Time tortures myself.
"Suo Wenhai, you are a smart man. You don't need to beat the drum hard. I know what you are afraid of. Are you afraid that if you reveal the truth, your family will not be saved?"
Suo Wenhai raised his head, his eyes shining with prayer.
Li Xiao laughed heartily, "Suo Wenhai, eldest brother can take the lives of all your family members, but can't I, fourth master, do the same?"
"Fourth Master, please forgive me!" Suo Wenhai slammed his head on the ground with a thumping sound, "These things were done by a villain alone and have nothing to do with his family!"
Li Xiao looked at Suo Wenhai coldly and knocked blood on his forehead in a moment, but remained indifferent. "You know what I want to know. If you tell me, not only will your life be safe, I can also save you and your family."
Send it to a place where no one can find it, and give you a large sum of money so that you can live peacefully for the rest of your life. Tell me, Suo Wenhai, there is no other way for you."
Suo Wenhai looked at Li Xiao with despair in his eyes. After staying in the palace for such a long time and seeing the cruelty of these big shots, how could he easily believe Li Xiao's words?
Once he reveals the truth, Li Xiao will never pay attention to him again, but his family is really going to end. Now if he refuses to tell the truth, he will definitely die in the end, but the prince appreciates his loyalty and will protect his family. If
I said it myself, that family really died without a burial place.
"Fourth Master, that woman was robbed by a villain and led by a villain. Yunjia Village was killed by a villain by a villain. He wanted to use this woman to please the great prince. The villain's crime deserves ten thousand deaths. His crime deserves ten thousand deaths.
"Suo Wenhai burst into tears.
Li Xiao was furious. He picked up the tea bowl at hand and was about to smash it down. He raised his hand high, but then gently put it down.
"Suo Wenhai, you are commendable for your loyalty. Fourth Master likes people like you. Very good. I won't embarrass you anymore. You can live well in this other courtyard and see what you can get in exchange for your loyalty."
?Let’s see how big brother will treat you. The days are long, let’s wait and see!” Li Xiao said with a smile.
"What does Fourth Master mean?" Suo Wenhai asked.
Li Xiao snorted, "Bring it up!"
Two guards outside picked up a tied-up man and threw him in front of Suo Wenhai. "Is this the person who tipped off the news for you?" Li Xiao said with a smile.
Suo Wenhai turned his head and looked at the man who fell on the ground with a pale face. He recognized that this was a servant in the kitchen in the other courtyard. He was the one who informed him of the news. From him, he learned about his family.
It has been moved to a safe place. The prince must grit his teeth and take good care of his family.
"Four Master, please spare your life!" The man came into the hall and when he saw Li Xiao, he was already heartbroken and crying endlessly.
"Shut him up!" Li Xiao said impatiently.
A guard strode forward, the scabbard in his hand moved up and down twice, and he made two porcupine sounds. The man's teeth had been knocked out, his mouth was swollen, and he could no longer speak.
"It's hard to guard against a domestic thief even if you take all precautions!" Li Xiao sneered, "Bury this thief under the canna plant in the yard."
Suo Wenhai watched in horror as the two guards strode away carrying the man.
"Suo Wenhai, I really want to see how eldest brother will deal with you, hehehehe!" Li Xiao laughed and walked out of the hall.
An hour later, a person rushed over to the Grand Prince's Mansion, "Your Majesty, there is news from over there."
"explain!"
"Our insider was killed! The fourth master seemed very happy when he came out, with a smile on his face." The visitor reported.
Li Jian's face suddenly darkened.
