Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 257 Investigating the Case
Li Jinglong didn't know what was going on when Zhu Tuo scolded him like this, but he still insisted: "How could I have wronged you? I work openly and aboveboard. If I really want to embarrass you, I can just call a group of people to beat you up." Enough?"

"Hehe, that's not necessarily the case. As soon as you opened your mouth, I guessed it! I looked at you with a sneaky look, and I didn't think it was a good thing."

Roar! "

After all, Li Jinglong is the son of a general. When Zhu Tuo said this, he immediately became angry and retorted: "You deserve to be imprisoned. Everyone in the capital knows that you, King Su, who only know how to conspire."

"Jiang Huan, did you hear, Li Jinglong slandered me, slandered me!

"From his words, I can see that Li Jinglong is the mastermind behind the scenes, the one who framed me! My reputation is well-known in and around Beijing, and everyone respects and loves me. The one who framed me , isn’t it this little doll?”

Before Li Jinglong could speak, he saw Jiang Rui and shouted quickly: "Commander Jiang, what is going on? Why am I in prison?"

"This is not a prison.

"What? How could this happen? Li Jinglong's eyes widened and his whole body was trembling.

Jiang Rui said without changing his expression: "Yesterday, after you had a fight with King Su, King Su left.

He was framed and imprisoned.Then there was a rumor that he stayed overnight in Wang's brothel. This matter spread like wildfire across the capital. "

"What does this have to do with me?"

"I suspect you are the mastermind behind this!"

"tell me!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Li Jinglong."

"gender?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Identity?"

"You don't even know who I am?"

Jiang Wei's face darkened and he said, "Say!"

"Li Wenzhong's son." Li Jinglong lowered his head and responded.

Jiang Rui stared at him and asked, "Why did you frame him and spread rumors to cause trouble?"

Li Jinglong's eyes were dull and he said loudly: "Commander Jiang, this is a false accusation. This is a blatant false accusation. Do you know?" Lu Xiaofeng said: "I didn't know who King Su was yesterday, how could I plot against him?" "

"Isn't it a false accusation?"

"nonsense!"

"Then, why did you come to Xiaoxiang Courtyard? How did you meet Prince Su?"

"I've been wandering around the Qinhuai River, looking at the new women. I heard someone said that a Miss Su visited Xiaoxiang Courtyard a few days ago. I want to see her. Isn't this normal? Something about that?”

"In that case, why do you have a conflict with King Su?"

"When I came here, I knew that if I wanted to meet Miss Su, I had to write a poem. I can't compare to these scholars in poetry, so I came up with this strategy. After all, the strong are respected."

Jiang Rui nodded. It was expected that he would do this. After all, he was Li Jinglong's son.

But when everything is justified, it seems unreasonable.

"Why did you send someone to report to the Yingtian County Yamen after that? Rumors are flying that Prince Su was involved in a murder case, which caused Prince Su to go to jail and stay in a brothel."

"I was wrong!"

Li Jinglong shouted, "I did not give such an order!"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "However, Prince Yingtian's Mansion said so. Could it be that you just drank too much and can't remember it?"

"No! General Jiang, you are the chief steward of Jinyiwei. You should know me. I am always cheerful. If Lord Su offends me, the most I can do is give him some trouble. How can I have such an idea."

Jiang Rui's eyes narrowed: "Are you telling the truth?" "Of course."

Jiang Rui glared angrily and reprimanded him: "You, the son of Cao Guogong, don't even have this kind of mind? Why didn't you investigate his origins immediately after the conflict with King Su? Why can you still stay here?"

"Did you know that someone used you as a dagger? It's all your fault!"

“The emperor was very angry and asked me to investigate.

You are the one who started this matter!You useless thing really embarrasses Ming Dynasty! "

Li Jinglong was speechless and said blankly: "Real or false?"

"No way? Think about Hu Weiyong's case! Idiot!"

Jiang Rui shouted angrily and immediately ordered: "Let the people from Yushitai come over."

Tongzhi Xiang and the scholar hurried to the prison, trembling all over, as if they were terribly frightened.

Jiang Rui slapped his hand on the table, and the two guards immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Jiang Rui, and kept pleading: "Commander Jiang, spare your life, this matter has nothing to do with me."

To shut up! "

Jiang Rui shouted coldly, and waited until the two of them stopped talking before he spoke: "Didn't you just say that Li Jinglong sent news that there was a murder case in Prince Su's Mansion, and that you should go and deal with it quickly?"

"Yes, that's it. Otherwise, why would we come to Xiaoxiang Courtyard inexplicably?"

"Also, before this, we did not know the true identity of King Su. If we had known, we would not have taken action against him even if he was beaten to death."

"I don't know the origin, what do you want to ask?" Jiang Rui narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Do you think that Prince Su is just an ordinary person, and wants to punch Li Jinglong in front of him, and then go to receive the reward?"

The two of them looked pale and trembling, looked at each other, and then nodded at the same time.

Li Jinglong was imprisoned in the dungeon and said loudly: "Nonsense, how could I send my servants to the Yamen? Besides, I have always been a generous person. Even if someone offends me, I will never do it for my own selfish reasons." To seek revenge, I, Li Jinglong, have great respect, how can I allow you to slander me like this!"

After hearing what both sides said, Jiang Rui thought for a while and said, "Okay, the matter is already clear. It's just that someone pretended to be a servant of the Li family and went to the county government to report the case. Is this possible?"

The two nodded at the same time.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Jiang Rui told the two of them: "Please don't act rashly on this matter until the truth comes to light."

Xiang Tongzhi and the official looked livid.

Li Jinglong rested in the cell for a long time, and then said angrily: "When I come out, this guy who wronged me will be cut into pieces. Damn it, you dare to bully me like this!"

Zhu Tuo, who was next door, heard this and gave a kind reminder: "Forget it, you don't have to worry anymore, you won't be able to get out anyway, just stay in prison and live out your life and live a happy life for a few more days. "

Li Jinglong was stunned and said, "Why?"

"Do you feel like you're being set up?"

Li Jinglong couldn't help but nodded.

"But I don't agree, I don't agree. If you don't look in the mirror, what do you think you look like?"

Li Jinglong was stunned and said: "Look alike?
"You are taking the blame."

Zhu Tuo waved his hands and warned: "Look, once this matter is investigated to the end, no matter whether there is any result or not, you will not be able to escape.

"If you can't find it, I will kill your whole family, charge you with an unfounded crime, and then be done with it. Once discovered, you will also be punished and eventually executed. Sooner or later, you will die. It's just a dead end."

Li Jinglong suddenly froze, his hands and feet felt cold, and said, "Am I really going to die?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "It's not nothing." Zhu Tuo nodded and said: "I have told you so many things from my heart, but you are not even willing to be an 'Uncle Wang'?"
