Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 667 Debate in the courtroom
Li Longji frowned slightly, he put down the teacup, and said displeasedly: "Then have you found out the identity of the thief?"

Li Canghai glanced at Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong remained indifferent, without any change in his expression.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I haven't found out the identity of the leader of the bandits yet. However, since I have caught several thieves, I will definitely do my best to investigate this matter. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Li Canghai said solemnly.

Li Longji nodded, and said: "In this case, then find out the identity of the thief leader as soon as possible. I want to see, who dares to steal things with me in this world!"

After moving his body a few times to make himself more comfortable, Li Longji went on to say: "In a few days, it will be New Year's Eve. Over the past year, all my loves have devoted themselves to the Tang Dynasty, and I am very relieved. On New Year's Eve, I will hold a banquet in the palace to comfort all my loved ones, and all my loved ones can come with their families."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" All the ministers knelt down and thanked him.

"Aiqing, do you still have a book to play? If not, then retreat!" Li Longji said with a wave of his hand.

"Your Majesty, I have something to play!" At this moment, Yang Guozhong came out.

"What's the matter for Ai Qing?" Li Longji asked, yawning.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I heard a piece of news a few days ago. When Li Canghai was in Silla, he once captured the leader of the 'Nilin Xuanwu' thief, but he concealed it and did not report it!" Yang Guozhong said seriously.

As soon as this remark came out, there was another commotion.

Everyone knows how terrifying the organization 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' is, it almost subverts the entire Tang Dynasty!

But Li Canghai actually caught the leader of the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu', which is really unbelievable.

Even Li Longji was very surprised, his brows were tightly frowned, 'Nilin Xuanwu' was always a problem for him.

Hearing that Li Canghai had captured the leader of the thief, but did not report it, he felt a little unhappy.

"Li Canghai, is what Yang Aiqing said true?" Li Longji stared at Li Canghai and asked.

Li Canghai's eyes were slightly cold. Not many people knew about this matter. Even Huangfu Kun, who was in charge of the guard, only knew that the guard was an extremely important prisoner. As for how important it was, he had no idea at all.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have indeed captured the extremely important person of 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu'." Li Canghai replied.

"Since we caught the traitor, why didn't you tell Yu Zhen?" Li Longji's tone changed suddenly, and he became a little angry.

"Returning to Your Majesty, although I have captured the leader of the thief, there are still many suspicious things that have not been investigated, so I dare not report to Your Majesty." Li Canghai replied calmly.

Yang Guozhong snorted coldly, and said, "Lord Li, since you have captured the leader of the thief, what is there to be suspicious about? I think the most suspicious thing is why you secretly hid the thief? You caught the leader of the thief but didn't tell the Lord, I don't know. What exactly is Master Li thinking?"

Li Canghai raised his sword eyebrows slightly, stared at Yang Guozhong and said, "What does Master Yang mean by that?"

"What do you mean that you don't know yet? You clearly caught the traitor but didn't report it. Do you have other plans? This is intriguing." Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and said in a slightly weird tone.

"In this way, Master Yang believes that I am hiding the rebels?" Li Canghai sneered.

"Master Li knows better than anyone whether you are hiding the rebels. I would like to ask Mr. Li, if you haven't hidden the rebels, where are the rebels now?" Yang Guozhong asked sharply.

Li Longji also stared at Li Canghai, he stroked his beard, and said with a gloomy expression: "Li Aiqing, I ask you, where is that traitor now?"

Li Canghai sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to reply: "Your Majesty, the leader of the bandit is now in the Dongzheng army camp, and General Huangfu Kun is taking care of him. I originally planned to use the leader of the bandit as bait to catch all the rebels in one go. Hidden in the barracks, did not inherit His Majesty in time, I hope His Majesty will punish you."

"Lord Li, since you have captured the leader of the thief, you should hand it over to the Holy One. As long as you kill the leader of the thief, the 'Nilin Xuanwu' will naturally fall apart." Yang Guozhong said seriously.

Li Longji nodded, and said fiercely: "What Yang Aiqing said is true, this thief has done such a rebellious thing, I will tear him to pieces!"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The rebels are very powerful. If you easily transfer the head of the rebels, you may be taken advantage of by the rebels. In my opinion, placing him in the barracks is the safest way. "Li Canghai said.

"Hmph, from Master Li's words, it seems to be saying that the Imperial Forest Army and Longwuwei are not as powerful as the Eastern Expedition Army led by your Master Li?" Yang Guozhong shook his sleeves and snorted coldly.

"Master Yang's words are too out of context, isn't it? Master Li meant that the leader of the thieves should be guarded in the barracks to prevent the thieves from being rescued. Master Yang deliberately said that the Imperial Forest Army is not as good as the Eastern Expedition Army, really ridiculous!" Cui Huan said coldly.

Yang Guozhong glared at Cui Huan in disgust, and snorted, "No matter how powerful the thieves are, they are just clowns, so what kind of trouble can they cause? Master Cui must be thinking too much."

After a pause, Yang Guozhong continued: "What's more, the Holy Majesty wants to behead him to show the public, just to kill chickens and monkeys. If the execution is carried out in the barracks, how can it serve as a deterrent?"

"What Master Yang said is very true, the minister seconded it!"

"The minister also agrees!"

A group of Yang Guozhong's supporters expressed their support one after another, praising Yang Guozhong's loyalty, which made Li Canghai's stomach turn sour.

Li Longji frowned, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't say any more, since the leader of the thief has been caught, he will be handed over to Long Wuwei, and he will be executed at another time!"

"Your Majesty! I still have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not." Yang Guozhong said again.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. If it is executed at this time, I am afraid it will be inappropriate? In my opinion, it is better to save his life for now, and it will not be too late to deal with it after New Year's Eve." Yang Guozhong said respectfully .

Li Longji thought about it, and felt that what Yang Guozhong said was reasonable. After all, it was New Year's Eve, and if he saw blood, it would be somewhat unlucky.

Anyway, the thief leader has already been arrested, execution is only a matter of time, and there is no rush.

Thinking of this, Li Longji nodded, and said: "Just as Yang Aiqing said, hand it over to Long Wuwei to guard it strictly, and cut it off after the New Year's Eve!"

Li Canghai, who had been silent all this time, stared at Yang Guozhong for a long time, then bowed and said, "I would like to obey the sacred edict."

After retiring from the court, all the officials left the hall one after another.

Li Yu walked up to Li Canghai, touched his forehead and said, "Sir, aren't you planning to use Qin He to wipe out 'Nilin Xuanwu' in one go? What should we do now?"

Li Canghai looked at the figure of Yang Guozhong leaving surrounded by the officials, frowned and said, "The Holy Majesty has already spoken, so I have no other choice. Fortunately, Yang Guozhong doesn't know that Qin He's identity is the prince's housekeeper, otherwise it will be another verbal dispute." fight."
