Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 194
Li Longji looked at the badge over and over again, and suddenly glanced at Yang Guozhong, but soon turned his attention to An Lushan.

"Just a waist badge really doesn't explain anything, An Lushan, do you have any other evidence?" Li Longji asked deeply.

"I still have witnesses!" An Lushan gritted his teeth and said, "The assassin revealed his identity before he died, and he was ordered by Yang Guozhong to assassinate him. In this matter, several people who followed Usumish Khan All guards can testify!"

Li Longji frowned suddenly. After thinking about it, he said to Gao Lishi: "Go and bring those witnesses."

Gao Lishi nodded, and then exited the hall.

After a while, Gao Lishi suddenly reported in a panic.

"Your Majesty, those Turkic guards committed suicide!"

This news made everyone even more astonished, and An Lushan was stunned.

On the contrary, Li Longji seemed much calmer.

Yang Guozhong looked at Li Longji, and suddenly understood something, and a smug smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Since the witness is dead, there is no need to mention this matter. You two are my right-hand men. I hope that you can trust each other and help me govern this world well." Li Longji said to the two seriously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your instruction." The two of them knew that Li Longji didn't want to investigate who sent the killer, and there would be no good results if this continued, so they simply thanked them at the same time.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from all countries have arrived except Usumish Khan. Will the dinner continue?" Yang Guozhong asked.

"Continue. In addition, I don't want other envoys to know about Usumish's murder." Li Longji swept across the crowd lightly, and everyone in the hall knelt on the ground at the same time.

"Your servants must abide by the sacred metaphor!"

After a big battle at Tianlai Inn, Zhengyang City fell into panic.

After Chang Feng's ambush was seen through, the two sides started a fierce battle, but Doihara and the others were all murderous Japanese pirates, so how could this group of yamen servants be their opponents?
Fortunately, there were not many Japanese pirates, and Chang Feng had set up a net in Tianlai Inn in order to catch them, so he was able to suppress all the Japanese pirates.

Except for Doihara, who is strong in martial arts, he broke out of the siege alone to chase the treasure box, and the rest of the Japanese pirates were all captured and brought to justice with the help of Kyoko.

This battle can be said to be a complete victory.

On the way back to the yamen, Chang Feng met Tao Ruozhu who had rushed back from Luoyang.

Tao Ruozhu went to Luoyang to find someone to decipher the letters from Dongying, and he just turned back at this time.

"Chang Butou, why do you look so ugly?" Tao Ruozhu saw that he was escorting a group of people, but his face was full of sadness, so he jumped off the horse and asked.

"Bachelor Tao...my lord..." Chang Feng sighed mournfully and did not continue.

However, Tao Ruozhu understood the meaning of his words, and said incredulously: "How is it possible? Before I left, didn't your lord still be happy?"

"Hey... It's hard to say!" Chang Feng lowered his head and wept, sighed for a while, and then suddenly said: "Xue Shi Tao, Master Shangshu has been rescued, and is now in the county government."

"What? Teacher... Teacher, is he safe?" Tao Ruozhu was overjoyed when he heard that Cui Huan was rescued, and asked Chang Feng by the shoulder.

"Master Shang Shu is in a coma, but he should have woken up now." Chang Feng said with a sad face: "In order to save Lord Shang Shu, Master, he even put his life on the line."

Tao Ruozhu's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect so many things to happen in Zhengyang County in the short day since he left.

He didn't know what to say for a while, so he patted Chang Feng on the shoulder.

Chang Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, then walked towards the county government office.

Tao Ruozhu stopped talking and followed closely behind him.

On the side of the square in front of the county government office, there is a coffin, under which there is a mahogany coffin.

Xiao Huahua was dressed in linen and filial piety, kneeling beside the coffin, her face was full of tears, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Although she is young, she also knows the meaning of the word "death", but she knows that she will never see her loving father.

Little Huzi sat next to her, holding her hand tightly, wiping the tears from her face with his sleeve from time to time.

Many people from Zhengyang County came, and they all lined up consciously, and kowtowed in front of the coffin.

No one spoke, and the whole square was silent, except for the sound of slight crying.

Xiao Wu and Zhang Xuan ordered two people to see Chang Feng tied up several wounded prisoners, and hurried over.

"Brother Chang, what are you doing here?" Xiao Wu looked at the prisoners and asked.

Chang Feng knelt down in the direction of the coffin, kowtowed vigorously a few times, and said bitterly, "These are the rogues from Japan who poisoned your lord!"

Xiao Wu and Zhang Xuanming looked at each other in surprise at the same time. They had been discussing Li Canghai's funeral, but they didn't expect Chang Feng to catch Dongying Ronin without telling them.

"Put them in custody first, and try them after the adults have dealt with it." Zhang Xuanming sighed.

The sadness on Chang Feng's face was even heavier, he cursed fiercely, and then ordered people to take all the Dongying Ronin to the prison.

"Xiao Wu, I heard Chang Butou said that the teacher is now in the county government?" Tao Ruozhu asked eagerly.

Xiao Wu nodded and said: "Master Shang Shu has woken up and is currently resting in the back hall. Scholar Tao please do what you want."

Tao Ruozhu was overjoyed. He hurriedly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Wu, "This is the translated letter from Dongying. I'll go see my teacher first, and then I'll come to thank you all."

After finishing speaking, Tao Ruozhu trotted towards the back hall of the Yamen.

Xiao Wu opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper from inside, and looked at it carefully, his brows suddenly frowned.

"What's written on it?" Chang Feng hurriedly asked, seeing that Xiao Wu's expression was a little strange.

"It said that the person who wrote the letter followed Lu Jitong to a village and found that he was torturing innocent girls, so he wrote a letter to remind a woman named Xingzi to be careful of Lu Jitong." Xiao Wu said.

"Wait, who do you want to remind?" Chang Feng asked suddenly.

"Xingzi." Xiao Wu looked at the note again, and said with certainty.

"Xingzi?" Chang Feng muttered a few words, then suddenly yelled: "Not good!", and rushed towards the prison.

Xiao Wu and Zhang Xuanming scratched their heads in a daze, Zhang Xuanming took the note, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is the best evidence against Lu Jitong, please keep it safe."

"Brother Zhang, is your lord really dead?" Xiao Wu suddenly pulled Zhang Xuanming's arm, glanced around, and asked cautiously in a low voice.

Zhang Xuanming solemnly said: "Little Wu, you were also present when your lord died. Could it be that there is something wrong?"

Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment, at that time he confirmed that Li Canghai had lost his breath, but he always felt that Li Canghai was still alive.
