Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 235 Chapter 243: Murder

Early the next morning, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs submitted a memorial to the Ministry of Criminal Justice at the Xiaochao meeting, reporting the results of the Ministry of Criminal Justice's trial. Yu Santai undoubtedly became the biggest suspect at present, and Li Hao's suspicion naturally decreased, and it can even be said that there is no suspect. .

However, none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty interceded for Li Hao. The others did it because they were not familiar with Li Hao, while Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji did not want to appear to be familiar with Li Hao. Anyway, Li Hao has nothing to suspect now, and it will be a matter of time before he is released. They felt relieved and let him stay in prison for a while, anyway, he is often in prison and he is used to it.

Li Shimin didn't expect that none of the ministers pleaded for Li Hao, and he couldn't help but sigh that Li Hao's popularity was not good. Since everyone didn't plead, he couldn't offer to release Li Hao. Arrest Yu Santai, and at the same time check whether there is someone who is behind the scenes. He is as wise as Li Shimin. He doesn't think that a small snakehead dares to attack the majestic Lord Hou. There must be a shady scene. He is very annoyed this time. Gong Gong, what a terrible thing this is. If he swallowed it by mistake, wouldn’t he be dead now? He even wondered if the purpose of the poisoner was to murder him, so he naturally asked the Ministry of Punishment to investigate to the end.

The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was ordered to continue the investigation, and the official documents of the arrest of Yu Santai spread out, covering the entire Jingzhao that day, and began to spread to the whole country. The poisoning incident became more and more serious. The front page of the Datang Daily was published In the first day or two of the poisoning incident, they all questioned Li Hao. Why did the young hero become a suspect in poisoning? At that time, many people supported Li Hao, saying that this matter must have nothing to do with Li Hao. After finding the biggest suspect, a large number of literati immediately complained for Li Hao. People who read the newspapers cursed at Santai and complained for Li Hao at the same time. , the common people are discussing Li Hao.

A literati wrote an article called "Lantian County Hou Fu", which was submitted to Datang Daily, and it was published on the headlines of the newspaper on the same day. Li Hao's life story was completely dug up. Contributing prescriptions to cure plague, planting cowpox, fixing the severe drought in Guanzhong, inventing Quyuanli, soap and toothpaste and other daily necessities are all major events that benefit the people.

Looking at Li Hao's military exploits again, in the battle of conquering Tuyuhun, he captured the enemy chieftain Fuyun, led [-] people to defend Tingzhou, resisted [-] enemy troops, and led the army to attack Gaochang.

After being praised by the common people, all the officials in the court realized that, unconsciously, that seemingly scoundrel had made so many contributions, and every one of them was a great contribution. With so much credit, it is estimated that he has become an important minister of the court. However, Li Hao is still a powerless and powerless scientific research minister, and the title of Marquis of Lantian County looks good. Looking at Li Hao, is such a young hero really an asshole? His future seems to be brighter than anyone else.

People's speeches created public opinion pressure. Some people reported to Li Shimin, asking for Li Hao's release, but Li Shimin did not approve, saying to wait, but he ordered Li Hao's family to visit the prison freely, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice should not stop it.

Now, there is a group of people outside the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all of whom are Li Hao's family and friends. When Turandot saw Li Hao, he was very happy and even grabbed Li Hao's ears, because Li Hao Hao made her worry. In fact, she had already wiped away her tears secretly before entering the prison.

Qin Su's concentration was a little weak, and when he was talking to Li Hao, tears filled his frame, and Li Hao could only continue to comfort him.Cheng Chumo came in to have a drink with Li Hao, wishing him an early release from prison by the way.

Hou Junji on the side looked very uncomfortable. He also heard the rumors outside and knew that Li Hao had been cleared of suspicion and that it would only be a matter of time before he was released from prison. And he also said that it is absolutely impossible for Li Hao to get out of this prison alive, and now he seems to be slapped in the face.

For the whole day, the prison in front of the Ministry of Justice was as lively as a vegetable market, and it was the first time that people in Li's residence felt that the prison of the Ministry of Justice was not so eerie.

People in Li Hao's family were happy, but someone was worried, and these two were brothers, yes, they were Li Chengqian and Li Tai.

Yu Santai has been exposed, Li Hao has been cleared of suspicion, can Li Chengqian not worry, as long as Yu Santai is caught, he will definitely bite him, he is not simply worrying now, but trembling with fright.

As for Li Tai, he must be much calmer. The original plan of killing two birds with one stone has already killed a bird, and now he can only deal with Li Chengqian. Confession, in order to avoid any accidents, for the sake of the crown prince, he had to be careful.

Although he was very cautious, he was still negligent. He didn't know that his behavior of visiting Li Hao in prison had aroused Li Hao's suspicion. where to escape.

It is not only the Flying Eagle Special Forces that are eyeing on Li Tai, but also Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji reasoned from motives. He only needs to infer, if the prince commits a crime, who will benefit the most. The answer is obvious. The one who benefits the most is Wei. Wang Litai, followed by Wu Wang Li Ke, because both of them have coveted Li Chengqian's crown prince for a long time.

Changsun Wuji sent people to keep an eye on Wei Wangfu and Wu Wangfu at the same time, and immediately reported any changes. When the people from Weiwangfu left Chang'an City, Changsun Wuji had already received the news. It can be seen that Jiang is still old. hot.

On a barren hill thirty miles west of Chang'an City, this small courtyard was originally a small Taoist temple, but it fell into disrepair perhaps because it was too small, and was completely abandoned in the end. It collapsed, and the yard was full of waist-high weeds.

Not long after the people sent by Li Tai entered the small courtyard, Lu Yun and five members of the Flying Eagle special forces had already arrived outside the small courtyard. Arriving at the situation in the house.

I saw a gray-bearded old man tied to a chair, sitting in a messy temple, surrounded by six men in green clothes, one of the men in green clothes with a square face and wide mouth asked coldly: "Tell me, who ordered you to come here?" Poisoned in the chicken at Li’s Chicken Crossbone Shop?”

Yu Santai shook his head: "I don't know about that either."

The square-faced man in Tsing Yi glanced at another companion, and that man directly grabbed one of Yu Santai's fingers and pulled it hard. There was a crisp rattling sound, and Yu Santai let out a shrill scream, which was extremely painful.

"Say it or not." The square-faced man in Tsing Yi shouted sternly, "If you dare to speak harshly again, I will break all your fingers!"

Seeing their cruel methods, Yu Santai's face changed drastically when he heard the words, and he shouted urgently: "Don't! I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything!"

"Then tell me the truth." The square-faced man in blue said with a cloudy face, "If you dare to say a wrong word, I will hold you with a finger."

Yu Santai nodded with lingering fear, and said: "Seven days ago, a stranger came to Santai Casino and gave me 50 taels of gold, asking me to poison the chicken wishbones in Li's Chicken Wishbone Shop, demanding at least If you can poison ten people to death, the other party will give me another [-] guan after the other party agrees, and if you don’t agree, then let me and my gambling house disappear in Chang’an.”

"Who is this person?" The square-faced man in blue asked.

Yu Santai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I sent someone to follow that person, and that person entered the imperial city through the Yanxi Gate. As you know, ordinary people like us cannot enter the imperial city."

The square-faced man in green nodded and said, "Let go of his right hand, take a pen and ink, and write a confession for him!"

"Confession?" Yu Santai was taken aback when he heard the words, "Are you from the government?"

In fact, after Yu Santai knew that the poisonous chicken had flowed into the palace, he knew that something was wrong. He immediately dismissed his subordinates and prepared to escape. It happened that Li Tai sent someone to arrest him at this time. Now when he heard that he was going to write a confession, he was scared I have six souls without a master, I have committed a serious crime this time, if I am caught by the government, I will definitely die.

A man in Tsing Yi had already prepared his pen and ink, and untied one of his hands. The other two directly put the knife on his neck, while the square-faced man in Tsing Yi said coldly: "Let's write a confession. In this situation, I will Not to lie to you, it is impossible for you to survive, but as long as you write a confession, I can guarantee that you will not be tortured before you die, and at worst you will have a complete corpse. Throwing your hands and feet into an oil pan and frying them, countless tortures, just talking about it can scare you to death."

Yu Santai was so frightened that his face turned green. He knew that the square-faced man in front of him was telling the truth. He had committed a capital crime, and it was a capital crime that could be punished. Fortunately, he had no family members, but he had to suffer so much. He really couldn't imagine the torture, he couldn't stand breaking off a finger, not to mention such a horrific torture, he hesitated for a moment, then resigned, picked up the brush and began to write the confession.

After writing the confession of hundreds of words, Yu Santai signed it and put his fingerprint on it.

The square-faced man picked it up and looked at it. He was very satisfied. At this moment, there was a thunderous sound of hooves outside, and Lu Yun on the roof was also taken aback. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, he looked into the distance and saw more than 30 fast horses galloping towards him. , every rider is wearing a black robe, a black scarf covering his face, and a bamboo hat.

Lu Yun hurriedly came down from the roof quietly, joined Feiying and the others outside the courtyard, and said solemnly: "There are more than 30 enemies coming, and they seem to be fighting against Santai. Do we have reinforcements?"

Feiying shook his head and said: "The target is too big to be discovered, there are only five of us."

Lu Yun frowned slowly: "The situation is not good, the enemy is powerful, we need to play by ear, and we must grab Yu Santai."

Feiying nodded, and ordered in a low voice: "Get on the crossbow and prepare for battle."

After finishing speaking, the five of them took out the crossbow box, took out the crossbow and assembled it, ready for battle.

The thirty knights came very quickly, and they arrived outside the small courtyard in a short while. The leader did not wear a black scarf to cover his face, but wore a mask of a ghost head with copper fangs. As soon as he reined in his horse, he ordered: "Wrap the courtyard Hold on, don't let a fly go!"

All the riders were ordered to disperse and surrounded the small courtyard, only to hear the ghost man say again: "Get on the rocket!"

All the knights bent their bows and set their arrows, and the tips of the arrows were burning, and they were going to set fire to the people inside.

Seeing this, Lu Yun paled and whispered: "No, these people are here to kill people!"
