Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

At this time, Li Xie broke free suddenly and fled into the dense forest. Defang immediately sent someone to chase him, but he escaped.

"Li Xie will definitely inform Li Yi's fellow party, and if he cannot succeed, he will return to the city immediately!" Defang ordered

Defang and Wang Tongda led troops to arrest all Li Yi's accomplices in Changdao County, including hundreds of servants, and then returned to the main city of Qinzhou, where they captured Xing Changyuan and others. The soldiers came to report, "General Wang, it's not good. The imperial army came from outside the city and said they were attacking you, General."

"Conquest?" Wang Tongda was startled, "This must be a conspiracy by Li Yi and others to deceive the Holy Majesty and frame this general."

"General, what's the matter?" the lieutenant asked.

"I will go out of the city with this general, and explain the whole story to the chief general"

"General, what if the coming general is also Li Yi's party? Isn't the general in danger, why not fight them!"

"Shut up! You and I are the generals of the imperial court. How can we do such an act of treason and leave the city as we are going?" Wang Tongda insisted

"The last general obeys!" The lieutenant general had no choice but to follow

Wang Tongda opened the city gate and walked out with two lieutenants. Seeing that Cao Bin was the commander of the imperial conquest army, he stepped forward and said, "The last general, Wang Tongda, see General Cao."

"Wang Tongda, you are so brave, you dare to rebel!" Cao Bin drew his sword and pointed at Wang Tongda, "Say! Where is the prince now!"

"My lord is here!" At this moment Defang came out, looked at Cao Bin and said, "General Cao, I'm fine."

"My lord!" Cao Bin hurriedly got off his horse and said, "See you, my lord!"

"General Cao is free of courtesy." Defang stepped forward, "The general came so quickly."

"The last general led his troops here as soon as he received the order. He was afraid of delaying the important event. However, what is going on? Didn't you say that you are missing, my lord?"

"It's a long story, and I will explain it to the general later." Defang took out the military talisman, "This is the military talisman that His Majesty gave to the king, and it can mobilize five thousand soldiers. General Cao, now Li Yi still has many traitors and remnants." , this king wants to borrow troops."

Cao Bin worshiped, "The last general will obey the order of the prince"

When the imperial army entered the city, because Li Yi had received news from Beijing, he hid himself. Defang ordered to post a notice to arrest Li Yi. Because the observation officer Feng and his wife knew Li Yi's affairs very well, so Defang ordered his troops to arrest Li Yi. The evildoers in Qinzhou.The people in the city did not become chaotic because the army entered the city. Instead, they welcomed the army and reported many villains to the imperial army. Soon, with the cooperation of many parties, almost all of Li Yi's accomplices in Qinzhou were captured and searched. A large number of letters and huge property were published.

The matter was reported back to the capital, and it was learned that so many courtiers and Qinzhou people were involved in the case, and that Li Yi had escaped without a trace. Taizong was furious and ordered to arrest Li Yi within a time limit. Soon, a rich man in Hanoi The family arrested Li Yi and brought him back to the capital, where Yushitai tried the case.

Li Yi's case involved a wide range of people, ranging from the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Officials to the local government yamen servants. More than a thousand people were involved in the case.

On the way back to Nanqing Palace, when Defang met the servants of the officials, a series of conspiracies began to break out. The servants of the officials did not steal anything, but wanted to escape from Shi's mansion to rescue the family members who were imprisoned by Shi Bo. When Bo knew about it, he threatened to take his life, so the servant broke free and ran away. The servant chased to the street, but unexpectedly ran into the sedan chair team of Defang. Fang escorted people to the Shi Mansion, and the servant who was chasing him told the servant that he would kill his whole family if he dared to talk nonsense. This is why when Shi Bo took out the jade pendant and framed him for stealing things, the servant did not dare to speak. Shi Bo himself did not expect that the servants would lead Defang to his private house. Shi Bo knew that Defang must be very suspicious of the environment of her residence. When he learned about Defang from the housekeeper When Fang came to the mansion to ask some questions, he felt that there was something wrong. After Defang left, he killed the servant.
