Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 313

There was something in Li Canghai's words, and everyone could hear it, didn't the implication mean that he was in collusion with the rebels?
Everyone could clearly see that Li Canghai was wholeheartedly trying to save the emperor from the siege, while Yang Guozhong was constantly obstructing him and was full of hostility towards Li Canghai.

Li Canghai's words made Yang Guozhong into a rage.He said angrily: "How unreasonable is this? How dare you slander the truth! Since you are not poisoned, why don't you protect His Majesty and break out of the siege? Instead, you want to bet with them here?"

Gao Lishi cursed inwardly for being stupid, Li Canghai tried his best to convince the other party that they were not poisoned, now that he said this, it was not obvious to tell the other party, was there any fraud in it?
"Master Yang! Since the Holy Majesty entrusted this matter to Lord Li, we should trust him!" Gao Lishi suddenly raised his voice.

"Lord Yang, Your Majesty has given me the right to handle this matter, so I naturally have the right to deal with everything. If your lord obstructs me again, I don't mind using your lord to make an example of others." Li Canghai raised his eyebrows, and immediately said coldly.

"You...!" Yang Guozhong's face suddenly burst into anger.

"Guozhong, is what he said true?" Li Longji asked lightly.

Yang Guozhong was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. I am loyal to Your Majesty and will never betray Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!"

Li Longji glanced at him, frowned and said, "Then you might solve this matter for me?"

Yang Guozhong was stunned for a moment, and he shook his head.

"Since you can't solve it, then shut up!" Li Longji flicked his sleeves and snorted displeasedly: "Since I have entrusted this matter to him, I will naturally trust him. If he does not do well, I will punish him." to him!"

Having been an emperor for so many years, how could Li Longji fail to see the status quo?Now, they are in a dangerous situation. The reason why the other party did not do anything is because they want the abdication edict written by themselves, so that they can justifiably seek power and usurp the throne.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty showed powerlessness in the face of this matter, which made him very angry. Fortunately, Li Canghai appeared in time and took the initiative to undertake the matter, which made him feel a little more at ease.But what disappointed him was that Yang Guozhong kept obstructing him. Although what he said was for his own sake, it was extremely inappropriate to put it at this kind of time.

Yang Guozhong was reprimanded by Li Longji, and his face suddenly became ugly. He nodded and took a few steps back.

The injured Taoist glanced at Yang Guozhong and said, "What should you do if you bet wrong?"

"It's a wrong bet, I'll give you my life." Li Canghai said calmly.

The injured Taoist sneered: "Ha, who do you think you are? Is your life comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Canghai frowned. He knew early on that the other party would raise conditions, so he asked, "What do you want?"

"If you make a wrong bet, we will let you go without harming your lives. But the premise is that Li Longji must write down the edict of abdication." The injured Taoist said.

Li Canghai frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, I promise you!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

"Can you make a decision for the emperor?" The injured Taoist asked with a smile on his face, still icy.

Li Canghai turned his head to look at Li Longji, who had an ugly face, and said indifferently: "You heard it before, His Majesty gave me the right to do things cheaply, do you think I can make the decision?"

Everyone looked at Li Longji one after another, Li Longji's face was ugly, his brows were frowned, and he didn't speak.

After staring at Li Canghai for a moment, he said, "Since I have given him the right, all his decisions will naturally represent me."

Everyone was amazed. When some old ministers were about to speak, they were blocked by Li Longji with a wave of his hand. He said in a deep voice, "I believe him."

Li Canghai bowed deeply to Li Longji, then looked at the injured Taoist, and said, "What should we do?"

"Okay, I'll take your bet!" The injured Taoist squinted his eyes and said excitedly.

He squinted his eyes, but sneered in his heart.

Li Canghai's gamble is clearly digging a hole for himself, betting on what is not good, but betting on their plan.Leaving aside whether he really knew their plan, even if he was right, they could deny it, and they would have won anyway.

Li Canghai stared at the injured Taoist, both sides had their own scruples about each other.

The injured Taoist didn't know if there was any reinforcements that Li Canghai said, he needed time to investigate clearly.As for Li Canghai, it was purely to delay time.Wait for reinforcements to arrive.

"In this case, let's expose your conspiracy in the next step!" Li Canghai walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said indifferently: "The matter should start three months ago, if it wasn't for three months ago Occasionally, I am afraid that the name 'Nilin Xuanwu' will not be known by now."

The injured Taoist's eyes swept over the crowd, he shook his duster lightly, squinted at Li Canghai and said, "I'd like to see what ridiculous things you can say."

Li Canghai didn't care about his ridicule. He said calmly: "Three months ago, something strange happened in the Di family. Many people, including Di Ying, the head of the Di family, witnessed the face of the deceased Duke Di with their own eyes. Di Ying Tell Di Huai who is far away in Jinshui County about this matter, and hope that he can investigate this matter, and I happened to be a guest at Di Huai's house at that time, and Di Huai was busy with work, so he asked me to go to Di Huai's house to investigate on his behalf."

"Aren't you talking about our plan? Why did someone surnamed Di get involved?" The injured Taoist sneered.

Li Canghai chuckled, raised his head slightly, and said calmly: "After I came to Di's mansion, I wanted to find out the truth about Mr. Di's apparition, but I encountered murder cases one after another. No. 1 The deceased was the family member of the Di family. After investigation It was found out that his true identity was a disciple of an organization called 'Gopher Gate' in Jianghu. The No.2 deceased was the son of Huangfukun, the general of Youjin Wuwei who guarded Luoyang."

"What does this have to do with their conspiracy?" Yang Guozhong asked with his eyes rolling.

"Master Yang, don't worry, listen to me first." Li Canghai swept his gaze over the injured Taoist and others, and finally fixed his gaze on the corpses of several officials who had already died, and said, "These two don't know each other. The time of death is also different, but they all have one thing in common, that is, the way of death is very strange. Their bodies are distorted and their expressions are horrific, just like hungry ghosts calling for help."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and they all turned their eyes to the corpses in unison.

What Li Canghai described seemed to be very similar to what they saw before them. Seeing the shriveled corpse and the bright red blood on the ground, everyone suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in their stomachs.

However, Li Canghai didn't feel any discomfort. He stared at the corpses and said, "Fortunately, with the help of the eminent monk from the White Horse Temple, he found out that both of the deceased died from a strange Gu insect called 'Xuanbing Gu'. This kind of Gu worms are born in the bitter cold of the extreme north, this kind of worms live by sucking flesh and blood, and those who are infected by the Gu will die in agony and die instantly, thus keeping the corpse in the miserable state before death."
