Chapter 134
As soon as the words "assassinate the officials" came out, several guards in the palace rushed forward and restrained Li Xia tightly.

Li Xia didn't struggle, and let them hold her down.

Ding Daquan was furious and glanced at Ma Tianji.

Ma Tianji slapped the table and shouted angrily, "Assassinate officials? Simply stop talking nonsense! Is this plausible?!"

Bai Mao was terrified, huddled into a ball, and muttered: "I, I... I don't know... But Li Xia is so bold... I also think that my wife is too... too scary."

"Your Majesty, on the contrary, I think this matter is true." Li Maoying said: "If this thieves are allowed to make up nonsense, how can they make up such absurd things?"

"That's right, even the minister can't make it up."

"The same is true for my minister, I would never dare to make up such nonsense..."

Zhao Yun waved his hands nonchalantly, as if he only listened to the wine story.

Compared with sitting still at the Great Court Assembly, he obviously prefers this kind of introductory event, especially today's event is a bit more legendary, rather than boring government affairs.

"go on."

"Yes." Xiao Tailai asked Bai Mao again: "Why did they bring you?"

Bai Maodao: "The villain... is the reason for Nie Zhongyou to escape. He made up the story that after being captured by the Zhang family, he would rather die than surrender. It was the villain who escaped from prison and rescued him..."

"You saved him?"

"Yes, the villain is a thief. He is best at flying over walls and breaking locks to open doors. Nie Zhongyou made up a lie that the villain rescued him. After arriving in Lin'an, he placed the villain outside the city, and he went to see the prime minister himself. "

"Why?"

"If Prime Minister Right doesn't see through his lie, he won't tell the story of his arrest. If he sees through, he will ask the villain to testify for him."

"That being the case, why did you report him again?"

Bai Maodao: "Since the villain has to return to Da Song, how can he continue to help these traitors? Of course, report them!"

Xiao Tailai said: "They trust you?"

"The villain looks very timid after growing up like this. They trust the villain because of his appearance. But they didn't expect that the villain is actually loyal and courageous."

Xiao Tailai kept a straight face, ignored Bai Mao, turned around, and said, "Nie Zhongyou, how did you come back?!"

Nie Zhongyou was hunched over and kneeling on the ground, raised his head when he heard the words, and spoke with difficulty, his voice was hoarse and weak.

A guard came forward and listened to his mouth for a long time.

"He said that although he was captured by the Zhang family, he never defected. It was Bai Mao who rescued him, and he fled back to Song Dynasty."

Xiao Tailai bowed to Zhao Yun, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have already tried Nie Zhongyou's collusion with the enemy and treason. The evidence is convincing, but there is no strong defense. I think this matter is beyond doubt..."

Ma Tianji let out a soft "hum".

Even a treacherous person like him couldn't help but feel a little sarcasm in his heart.

The pawn was born and died, but was really planted as a rebel by these loyal and righteous ministers?
It seems that Uncle Xie Fang cannot be defeated today.

Regardless of whether Li Xia defected or not, Nie Zhongyou's defection is certain.Then, Uncle Xie Fang's arrest of Li Xia is indeed justified.

If anything goes wrong next, I'm afraid that dirty water will be poured on people like myself...

Thinking so, Ma Tianji glanced at Ding Daquan.

But he saw Ding Daquan's eyes...seemed to be looking at Jia Sidao's case.

Thinking about it, Jia Sidao, the prodigal son raised by the maidservant, was playing with crickets again, so he made up his mind to sit on the wall and watch.

Finally, Ding Daquan turned around.

Ma Tianji quickly gestured with his eyes, asking if he would point the finger at Cheng Yuanfeng?
If you can't reverse the left side, you can first turn the right side.

Ding Daquan shook his head slightly. On the one hand, he was not interested in Cheng Yuanfeng's right chancellor position, and on the other hand, he knew that the officials could not believe it.

Ma Tianji was a little disappointed, and said: "Your Majesty, what you see before you is no definite evidence pointing to Li Xia."

Xiao Tailai said: "It seems that Ma Shilang agrees with Nie Zhongyou's betrayal of the enemy and the country?"

Ma Tianji should not.

Xiao Tailai said to Zhao Yun again: "Your Majesty, Sanya has obtained evidence of Li Xia's treason."

"Take it out."

Then Xiao Tailai picked up a bundle from the plate carried by the guard, opened it, and there were clay pots, flints and other objects in it.

He asked Li Xia, "Is this your thing?"

"Yes."

Xiao Tailai asked again: "Do you know where it landed?"

Li Xia said: "After I entered the city, I stayed at the Xizi Inn in the city, and left this burden there."

"Why did you fall?"

Li Xia said: "Because I saw Lin Zi and Liu Jinsuo were arrested, I left the Xizi Inn without checking out."

Xiao Tailai nodded, and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, please let Li Xia write a few words."

"allow."

His own servant came forward with a pen and ink.

Li Xia also let go of one hand. He took the brush and asked, "What to write?"

Xiao Tailai smiled but said: "I heard that your poems are good, how about your poems?"

"it is good."

Li Xia then wrote a dozen crooked characters.

Xiao Tai looked at it, saw that the characters were written in a normal way, but the sentences were well written, so he couldn't help but read it out slowly.

"I'm not afraid of being smashed to pieces, I want to stay innocent in the world."

"Good poetic talent." Xiao Tailai praised, stroking his palms and said, "You have such a hard heart, and you can still be so calm at this moment. No wonder the Beiren want you to return to Da Song as a spy."

Uncle Xie Fang was very moved when he heard this.

He closed his eyes, and the more he savored, the more he felt that this line of poetry just suited his state of mind.

Fighting against traitors, knowing that they can't do it, is it not for the purpose of "keeping innocence in the world"?

……

"Li Xia, I heard that you wrote three poems in the north, all of which are famous works handed down from generation to generation, is it true?"

"I didn't write it, I read it from the book."

Following these two questions and answers, Xiao Tailai ordered someone to submit a few papers of poems, which were circulated by the officials and the princes.

There were sighs of emotion in the hall from time to time.

"Good words..."

"This kind of poetry is definitely not something that a young man can write."

"..."

"Li Xia, from which book did you read these poems?"

""Junior Chinese""

"What book is that?"

Li Xia replied: "The book of teaching poetry, poetry and Fu, I read the line "Lime Yin" just now from it."

"Why hasn't this old man read this book in his life?"

"It's an orphan."

"However, that song "Hillside Sheep" is in a northern tune, so what book can have both northern and southern tunes?"

Li Xia said: "I don't know."

"Where's the book?"

"The house was on fire, it burned."

"Hmph, Zhuzi must have something to hide."

"The old man doesn't believe him either..."

"My lords, my lords." Xiao Tailai said, "Today's court trial is not for discussing poetry, please calm down."

When the hall was quiet, he said to Li Xia again: "These poems came out because of you, so?"

Li Xia did not deny it, and replied, "Yes."

Xiao Tailai suddenly took out a piece of colored paper from the bag, folded it, and handed it in front of Li Xia, asking: "The song "Tianjingsha" on this paper is written by you, is it true?"

Li Xia looked at it, his expression froze.

His eyes finally changed. Although he was not flustered, he seemed a little puzzled.

"Yes."

Bozhou, the mansion of thousands of military and civilian households.

Zhang Wenjing raised her eyebrows, stomped her feet, and said, "Fifth brother, where are my things?"

Zhang Hongdao seemed a little helpless, and said: "I've said it all. At that time, I just picked it up and took a look at it. I didn't take it away. Wherever you dropped yourself, just look for it."

Zhang Wenjing said anxiously: "I haven't seen it for many days, it must be you who took it."

"Strange." Zhang Hongdao looked blank, "What am I going to do with your things?"

Zhang Wenjing's eyes were red, and she was already crying.

"Don't cry." Zhang Hongdao said with a wry smile, "If you fancy something in our courtyard, just take it away, Fifth Brother will never frown."

"I don't want your belongings, I want mine...that one..."

"Okay, okay, it's not that fifth brother took your things, you think I'm free?" Zhang Hongdao persuaded softly, "How about this, how about I give you a sword?"

"What's the use of my sword, you give me something back..."

Halfway through Zhang Wenjing's speech, Zhang Hongdao took out a long sword from the box and said something slowly.

"Father got it from Weishan. The original owner is... Fifth Brother's rare opponent in his life, so I asked my father to give it to me. Even though you are a woman, just keep yourself safe."

Zhang Wenjing looked at the long sword, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Zhang Hongdao handed the sword over, with sincere eyes, sighed, and said, "I wanted to keep this thing, so that I could always urge myself, and I gave it to you because I couldn't see you crying. But I really didn't take your paper." Yes, maybe the servant girl next to you saw you like that every day, and put it away for you..."

Lin'an Palace City, Xuande Hall.

Li Xia looked at it, and saw that under the song "Tianjingsha" that he wrote, someone wrote another small poem in beautiful silk handwriting, it was a woman's handwriting...

"The title is acacia, and the screen window is covered with tung leaves. The autumn light is like rain and chess, and the powder tent does not allow the fragrance of flowers and dew. The new is lonely, the old is wild, and the news of the jade furnace is recorded in Qiantang. The small corridor is full of red banana trees, and there are residual clouds. Take advantage of the yellow moon."
