Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 406 The truth of the year
If there is no accident, Wang Chi's head will be cut off entirely.

However, just when the sharp Yanyue blade of the long halberd fell on Wang Hao's shoulder, Wang Hao suddenly collapsed and yelled for mercy.

It was also Qi Yunhe who received it in time. When he just yelled the word "rao", Qi Yunhe controlled the long halberd very well, and the sharp crescent moon blade stayed on Wang Hao's neck, with only a slight difference.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat, and Wang Hao even peed his pants in fright, and sat on the ground trembling.

Li Canghai and Li Yu winked at each other, and they smiled tacitly.

"Devils! You are demons!" Wang Hao sat paralyzed on the ground, his eyes full of horror, and he muttered in his mouth.

Even they didn't say that they would kill whoever they killed, at least they would only take their lives after extorting a confession through torture.

He originally thought that the people in front of him were just trying to scare him. After all, he was an official of the imperial court, so they would be somewhat afraid.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party didn't care about these at all, and actually wanted to take his life!

One is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the other is the Minister of Dali Temple, and the other is the descendant of the current royal family. Which of these three is not a high-ranking person?

Only then did Wang Chi realize that he had overestimated himself.

When these three people unite, even if they are white, they can be called black. More importantly, between themselves and them, the emperor will definitely trust them.

Between life and perseverance, Wang Chi chose the former.

Although his power was given by Li Linfu, he also did a lot of things for him, not to mention that he was dead, wouldn't it be ridiculous to sacrifice his life for a dead man?

Today's Wang Chi only thinks of being able to survive, how can he care about the rest?
"Take him away, put him in a prison, and keep him under strict supervision!" Seeing that Wang Chiu had lost the will to resist and his psychological defense had collapsed, Li Canghai nodded secretly and ordered casually.

Several Jinwuwei soldiers immediately tied up the distraught Wang Chi, and then the whole team left the deserted house.

"Lord Li, you really frightened this old man. I thought you were really going to kill Wang Chiu!" Cui Huan said while walking on the road, recalling it still with lingering fear.

Li Canghai smiled and said, "Lord Cui thinks I will really kill Wang Chi?"

Cui Huan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Don't you want to kill him?"

"Master Cui, don't you see that we did this on purpose?" Li Yu interjected excitedly.

"Oh? On purpose? I don't understand." Cui Huan shook his head.

Li Yu laughed and said: "Actually, when Wang Ji refused to speak, the master gave me a secret wink. At first I didn't understand what the master meant, but the conversation with the husband later made me understand. Sir The meaning is to create some pressure on Wang Chi, so that he knows that he is dispensable to us, so that he will care about his own life."

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and continued excitedly: "Wang Ji naturally didn't believe what we said at first, he was very confident that we would not kill him, but when Yunhe almost beheaded him with a long halberd, He realized that he was not as important as he imagined, and then he walked around the gate of hell, and his persistence in his heart would collapse."

"Could it be that the prince is not afraid that if Qi Yunhe misses, he will really kill Wang Chi?" Cui Huan asked in astonishment.

Li Yu waved his folding fan and said triumphantly: "This king is very confident in Yunhe's skills. With his ability, he can completely master it just right. Facts have proved that this king did not guess wrong. When Wang Chi's life and death are at stake, the most important thing is I chose to save my life."

"So that's how it is." Cui Huan sighed, and at the same time, he admired the two brave and careful people.

"All of this is under the master's control!" Li Yu said with great admiration.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said: "This time I was able to break Wang Hao's heart, thanks to the prince and Steward Qi, if the prince hadn't guessed what I meant in time, and the steward Qi was superb in martial arts, this bone of Wang Hao is really easy to chew."

"Mr. is overrated. It's because of Mr.'s good teaching...haha!" Li Yu felt very proud of being able to personally participate in the case and help Li Canghai capture Wang Hao in one fell swoop, and even walked a little lightly. a feeling of.

"Only Master Li can use such methods in such a calm and unhurried manner. If it were someone else, Wang Chi would have already lost his head." Cui Huan said in amazement.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "To deal with the wicked, one must use a more vicious method than the wicked. This is called repaying the person with his own way. Wang Hao has done all kinds of evil things for the tiger, and what he has to bear is a big one." The sanction of Tang law, not personal anger."

Cui Huan was stunned for a moment, he thought about the meaning of this sentence, and his face suddenly became serious.

He bowed deeply to Li Canghai, and said earnestly: "Your Li is so young, but he is so persistent in the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty. It is really admirable. Please pay homage to me!"

Li Canghai hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Master Cui, you are a senior, the younger generation will definitely not be able to bear it!"

Cui Huan didn't care at all, he said with tears in his eyes, "Lord Li, if there were more loyal ministers like you in the Great Tang, how could it be that it has fallen to this level?"

When Li Canghai and Li Yu heard this, their hearts suddenly became much heavier.

It is an indisputable fact that the Tang Dynasty is already in turmoil, but what's the use of it?
The emperor seeks pleasure all day long, and the government is dominated by treacherous ministers. Loyal ministers and good generals are either persecuted to death or demoted to exile. How many people dare to speak up in the court today?

"Master Cui, no matter what, there are still many loyal people in the Tang Dynasty, and they have not reached the point of no return." Li Canghai thought for a while, and said with relief.

"I hope that the heavens will protect the Great Tang, sweep away the haze as soon as possible, and pass on the foundation of the world!" Cui Huan sighed looking up to the sky.

Li Canghai opened his mouth, he really wanted to tell Cui Huan what would happen next, but before this kind of thing happened, who would believe it?

With a long sigh, Li Canghai shook his head, lifted his spirits, and said, "Master Cui, the most important thing right now is to interrogate Wang Yu and Luo Xishi, and the cancerous tumors of the Tang Dynasty must be eradicated one by one."

Cui Huan sighed and nodded, and said, "At this point, we can only take one step at a time."

Li Yu suddenly asked: "Sir, when did you catch Luo Xishi?"

"I don't know if Luo Xishi was caught or not. I entrusted the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. I just hope to catch him." Li Canghai said with a smile.

Li Yu blinked, and said in surprise: "So, what you said before are all deceiving Wang Yu?"

"Not all of them. At least I have sent someone to get the evidence. As for Luo Xishi, I don't know if I have caught it." Li Canghai said.

"Sir, you are really treacherous!" Li Yu suddenly said with emotion: "If this fellow Wang Chi knows the truth, I don't know if he will be bumped to death."

Li Canghai shrugged casually, and suddenly asked: "My lord, why did you go to the former residence of the Qin family?"

Li Canghai was very curious. When he had arranged everything and waited for Wang Ji to sneak in, Li Yu and Qi Yunhe appeared in the Qin residence.

At that time, it was already late, so he stopped the two of them in order to prevent them from being startled, but he had no time to ask them in the future.

"I heard that my husband was investigating Qin Fu's collusion with the enemy and treason more than ten years ago. I also wanted to do my part, so I went to Qin's house with Yunhe to see if I could find some clues." He said. At this point, Li Yu pouted suddenly, and said, "Who knew that when I entered the house, I saw many mounds. Bad luck, really bad luck! Sir, who are the people buried in those mounds?"

"An old friend of the Qin family!" Li Canghai said deeply.

"A member of the Qin family?" Li Yu was stunned for a moment. He recalled those grave mounds, and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.

"There are still two days until the deadline. Before that, we must find out what happened back then." Li Canghai said firmly.

Everyone nodded and immediately quickened their pace.

Luoyang Prison, Dizi No. [-] Cell, a man with a white face and short beard, with a fierce look in his eyes, yelled loudly inside.

"Come here! Let me out! I'm the official of the imperial court! How dare you arrest me? It's unreasonable!"

"Where is the person? Come quickly! I am the prefect of Shi'an County. You are so brave, why don't you let me out?"

"Come on... Come on!"

……

At the end of the cell, Li Canghai had his hands behind his back, followed by Li Yu, Cui Huan and others, and beside him stood the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Lord Gao, is he Luo Xishi?" Li Canghai asked curiously as he looked at the cell.

Gao Luochuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, nodded and said, "Yes, he is Luo Xishi. When we went to his home, we found that he was not at home. We found out later that he went to the brothel, and we caught him in the brothel. Live. Master Li, when do you plan to interrogate him?"

Li Canghai thought for a while, then said calmly: "First lock him up for two days, during this period you only need to bring him meals, and no one is allowed to talk to him."

"Why is this?" Everyone was a little puzzled.

Li Canghai didn't answer, but walked towards Xuanzihao's cell on his own.

Although everyone was confused, after seeing how powerful Li Canghai was, they had long been in awe of him, so they didn't feel that something was wrong and followed him one after another.

The cell of Xuan Zihao was located on the third basement floor of Luoyang Prison, and Wang Chi was locked in the third cell.

Everyone opened the cell and followed Li Canghai into it. Wang Hao sat slumped on the ground, as if he had aged a lot.

"Wang Ji? Master Cui, why is he here?" The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was a little surprised, he asked Cui Huan in a low voice.

Cui Huan booed him, then pointed to Li Canghai slightly, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials nodded suddenly, and then fell silent.

"Wang Chi, the people standing in front of you are all people you are familiar with, can you tell me?" Li Canghai said indifferently.

Wang Ji looked at the crowd and said with a wry smile: "I, Wang Ji, have been smart all my life, and I never thought I would be in your hands. In this case, if you want to know anything, just ask! I only have one request, spare my life."

Li Canghai nodded, and said: "There are two ministers, Li and Li, to testify. I promise you that as long as you tell everything honestly, I will ask the Holy One to show mercy and save you from death."

Wang Ji gave a wry smile, sighed, and said, "I've become a prisoner now, what dare I hide?"

"First question, why did you steal the evidence that Feng and Zhao said?" Li Canghai asked.

"Because the evidence the two of them said will reveal a dusty past, and it will be extremely detrimental to me. I have to take the risk of stealing it." Wang Ji said.

"This old incident, but the case of Qin Fu collaborating with the enemy and treason in 14?"

Wang Ji smiled wryly, and said, "Why should you ask questions knowingly? That's right, this is the case."

"In this way, what Feng and Zhao said is true? They let the Tubo army enter the city and identified Qin Fu, all because of your coercion?" Li Canghai continued to ask.

Wang Hao nodded and said, "They were indeed coerced, but it has nothing to do with me, it was all done by Luo Xishi. Even Li Linfu's plan to deal with Qin Fu was also thought up by Luo Xishi."

"Why did Li Linfu deal with Qin Fu? How did he do it?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"Li Linfu dealt with Qin Fu because he offended Li Linfu. Li Linfu has always been a narrow-minded man who always seeks revenge, but Qin Fu has repeatedly opposed him. How could he let it go?" Wang Jia lowered his head with a sad face. Sighing, he said, "As for how to carry it out, my lord has been investigating for so long, could it be that nothing has been found out?"

Li Canghai smiled indifferently, and said: "If my guess is correct, Li Linfu is actually colluding with Tubo in secret, right? First of all, we will find a way to get Qin Fu to leave the border, and then take the opportunity to let Tubo send troops. At the same time, we will publicize it in the court The matter of Qin Fu colluding with the enemy. After the news of the border war, it attracted the attention of the Holy Majesty, and Qin Fu was immediately arrested. But Qin Fu is a general, and the Holy Majesty will order the three justices to jointly try it. At this time, the so-called people are needed. However, you did not expect that the Sanfa Division took this matter very seriously. They deliberately delayed the trial time and wanted to find out the truth, but Li Linfu got the confession written by Qin Fu who was deceived. The imperial edict. As a result, the closing statement was forged and submitted to the imperial court. As a result, needless to say, the Holy Majesty was furious and executed the whole family of the Qin family."

After hearing this, everyone was astonished. No one thought that the truth of the year would be like this!
Wang Ji opened his eyes with an unbelievable light. After a while, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "In just a few days, you were able to investigate so clearly what happened 14 years ago. You are really amazing." !"

"In this matter, what role did you play?" Li Canghai asked in a deep voice.

"I am in charge of contacting Tubo Zanpu. Tubo has always regarded Qin Fu as a confidant. In this regard, Li Linfu and Tubo have the same goal. Therefore, Tubo Zanpu is very attentive to this plan. After Qin Fu left the border At this time, immediately attack Guazhou and other places to cooperate with Li Linfu's plan." Wang Hao said.
