Chapter 585 Best Policy

Li Zhaocheng arranged more than a hundred memorial tablets in the lobby alone, and sat on his knees, waiting for Li Yong and Li Xia to come out after talking.

He waited for a long time, but he was not in a hurry, thinking that the two of them could chat longer, it would be great...

Outside the courtyard, Liu Jinsuo hurried over, and when he reached the door of the house, he said directly: "Marshal, something happened."

With a "squeak", Li Xia pushed the door and walked out.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Jinsuo said: "Didn't the commander-in-chief go out last night? After the commander-in-chief went out, someone in the palace came to deliver an order, asking the commander-in-chief to enter the palace to perform his duties this morning. I couldn't find the commander-in-chief, so I followed the plan of being called into the palace." done."

"An accident?" Li Xia asked.

He and Li Yong went to Prince Zhong's Mansion last night and spent the whole night convincing Zhao Xuan.

Prince Zhong's Mansion is not like other places where people can go to report information at any time.

Therefore, Li Xia made arrangements before leaving, and if anyone asked to see him, he just said he didn't see him.

There will also be people who have to meet, such as officials.

That is also simple, just pretend to be assassinated while walking on the road, and then say "seriously injured and unable to see the wind" after returning home.

"Yes, there was an accident." Liu Jinsuo scratched his head and said, "We were very careful. We asked Lao Jiang to wear a soft armor inside and an official uniform on the outside. With chicken blood in his arms, we arranged for people to stay in Baominfang. Pretend to assassinate, there are the fewest people there, so it’s easy to fool. But damn it, I just walked to Qingwazi, and a real assassin did it, it’s a real assassin!"

"Dead?"

"Lao Jiang, Dong Hao, and Wu Ba were all hit by arrows, and they didn't hurt their vitals, but the arrow was poisonous, and Wu Ba died before pulling it back. I saved the whole night, but Lao Jiang and Dong Hao still died... ...Damn! I always knew that someone was going to assassinate me, but this method is too difficult to prevent, I was wrong."

Li Xia closed his eyes and shook his head.

Zhao Yurui decided to kill him, then he will die sooner or later in Lin'an.

No matter how powerful he is, no matter how clever he is, it is impossible to calculate whether someone will rush out to him in this city of a million people.

It is possible to hide in the mansion all the time, but Zhao and Rui can know when the officials will summon them earlier and make arrangements in advance.

If Li Xia is really in the sedan chair this time, there are two questions about whether he can survive.

But he will never escape the next time, because the person who wants to kill him has more power.

Li Xia is not a fairy either, he can count everything.

In other words, he moved one step faster and killed Zhao Yurui first.

It seems to be going well.

But if there is any hesitation, it only takes half a day at night, and he will die...

~~
At noon the next day, Li's Mansion in Wushan.

Gu Yi narrowed his eyes and looked around.

There is nothing special outside of Li Xia's mansion.

On the contrary, the Princess Mansion in the south is still under construction, and you can see the soil piled up on the side of the road.

Gu Yi pointed to another small courtyard in the north of Li Mansion, and asked, "Whose courtyard is this?"

"It's vacant." Zhao Yuxi responded, "It was originally assigned to the Princess Mansion, but the scale has been reduced."

Between two sentences, the courtyard door opened with a "squeak".

"Ah! What's the matter, gentlemen?"

A small official came forward and introduced him.

"This is the prefect Zhao of Lin'an, this is Wu Tixing, the prison secretary, this is Cheng Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and this is the Marquis of Sanya Wangdu... I came here to visit Li Jieshuai and ask about the Mongolian assassins."

Gu Yi stood among the officials and did not speak, and no one called his name.

But obviously, he was the one who really came to investigate the case.

After entering Li's mansion, the first thing he saw were four corpses in the hall.

Gu Yi lifted the white cloth to take a look, and asked the servants of the Li family: "During the assassination yesterday, did these four people die?"

"Yes."

"How many arrows are there?"

Zhao Yuxi stepped forward and rushed to respond: "There are twelve branches, which are in the Lin'an government office, and they have all been poisoned."

"is it?"

Gu Yi looked at a big man who rushed out to entertain him, clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask your Excellency Gao's name?"

"Liu Jinsuo, under the command of the Zhenxi Army."

"It was actually Liu Tongzhi in person, Liu Tongzhi is not in the army, how can he guard the gate of Li Jieshuai's mansion?"

"Who said I was guarding the door? Isn't this going back to court to offer meritorious service? I live here!"

Gu Yi frowned, secretly thinking that Li Xia was domineering, and that he brought the imperial court generals for his own use.

His gaze fell on one of the corpses again, and he squatted down to observe the location of the damage and wound on the leather armor.

"This guard only suffered this arrow wound?"

"Yes." Liu Jinsuo was already unhappy.

"Poisoned?"

"Yes."

"What poison?"

"Heartbroken grass."

"Since the poison is so strong, Li Jieshuai is not dead?"

"How did you talk!" Liu Jinsuo was furious.

Zhao and Xi were the highest officials, and they came forward to mediate with gentle words.

Liu Jinsuo didn't dare to offend the prefect of Lin'an, so he pointed to the corpse in front of Gu Yi, and said, "Lao Jiang sucked the wound for the commander, and died of poison."

Gu Yi nodded, the doubts in his eyes were slightly cleared.

"Can I visit Li Jieshuai?"

"The commander-in-chief can't see the wind, so why don't we go in and see the three of us?"

……

In the main house, Li Xia was lying on the couch and fell into a coma.

Sitting beside the couch were two women, one beautiful and the other delicate.

Gu Yi glanced at it, and secretly thought that Li Xia was quite blessed.

More importantly, he has observed that the eyes of these two women are red, the tears are not dry, and the crying is not fake.

There was bloody cloth on the ground, and the beautiful woman was changing Li Xia's dressing. She carefully removed the cloth strip from Li Xia's shoulder, revealing the wound.

It was indeed an arrow wound, the wound was deep, and a piece of flesh was scraped off...

Zhao Yuxi asked in a low voice, "Is it Master Tang?"

"I have seen all the nobles, but I dare not be called 'everyone'. My family name is indeed Tang."

"Mo Duoli, everyone Tang continues." Zhao Yuxi asked again: "How is Li Jieshuai?"

"Thank you for your concern. The doctor said that Mr. Lang is in good health and has resisted the poison, but he has been in a coma." Tang Anan responded, already crying.

The pretty girl on the side even cried silently, and the tears never stopped.

"Can I ask..."

Over there, Gu Yi had already walked around the house, glanced at the two boxes of books, and asked, "What has Li Jieshuai done these past few days?"

"I have been discussing poems and songs with my servants in the mansion. I only met the prefect of Lin'an Zhao for two hours in the evening the day before yesterday. After that, I went to the palace to have an audience in the early morning yesterday. I didn't want to be assassinated. I have been in a coma since I came back."

"Oh, the prefect of Lin'an?" Gu Yi glanced at Zhao Yuxi.

"Yes."

Gu Yi took a few steps, glanced at the open book on the table, and asked Zhao Yuxi, "Is this a book from the prefect Zhao?"

"This...is true." Zhao Yuxi said: "It's better to let Li Jieshuai rest and rest, don't disturb me."

After saying that, he pulled Gu Yi back out.

The group walked around the Li Mansion again before leaving.

Gu Yidang even went to the small courtyard to the north and ordered people to turn over all the floor tiles.

"You all know, this place is also the property of Princess Ruiguo."

"is it?"

Zhao Yuxu cupped his hands and said, "You all know, didn't you come to investigate the assassination case of Li Jieshuai? Why bother..."

Gu Yi suddenly moved closer, and slowly asked: "Then what case does Zhifu Zhao think I am investigating?"

Zhao and Xi froze slightly.

Gu Yi stared at his expression, took in all the details, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Keep flipping!"

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Zhao Yuxi was also puzzled.

But after returning to the sedan chair, he sneered.

——You, Gu Yi, are amazing, you are very good at investigating cases, and found out that I met Li Xia in private.

But I'm afraid I forgot, this is Lin'an officialdom.

Still want to keep checking?
Ah.

……

On the streets of Lin'an, people can no longer hear the song of "big centipede, little centipede".

In a few days, many boys have learned new songs.

It was a poem by Ouyang Xiu, but after the sentence pattern was changed, it revealed a different meaning.

"Yao, Huang, Wei, and Zi opened the first order, and they all withered without realizing it. They bent their bows or tried to shoot stone tigers, but they also wanted to get drunk and kill Jingjiang Jiao. The remaining flowers can't be seen in one day, and the east wind sends us crying..."

~~
"Your Majesty, calm down, you are guilty of a humble position!"

"Come and tell me, what is Yao Huang? Wei Zi? Open order? And what is meant by 'unconsciously become hatred and wither away'?!"

"Idiosyncratic..."

"The stone tiger has met the arrow. Tell me, who is Jingjiang Jiao? Who is it? Will the Mongols or the ghost still want to kill Jia Sidao? Then tell me, what is the residual flower? What is it?! Come on, He Zhongjing , come and explain this poem to me.”

"I dare not to be humble."

Zhao Yun shouted angrily: "Solution!"

"The humble job is still investigating, who is the one who spread such rumors..."

"Investigate? I asked you to investigate the case like this? In just a few days, you have caused troubles all over the city! Can't you understand what I said? Do you want me to say 'this case needs to be investigated secretly', then do you want me to continue?" Tell the world to reveal the truth? Make the world panic and ask you to investigate?!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down, the humble post did not make much fanfare..."

Zhao Yun raised his hand and pointed vigorously, and said coldly: "If there is a poem that reaches Madam Ci Xian's ears, I want the heads of both of you."

"The humble job must quell the rumors, and the rumors must be quelled."

Zhao Yun's face was still ugly, but he finally stopped putting pressure on the two, and only asked, "Is the assassination of King Rong related to Li Xia?"

"Currently there are no clues pointing to Li Xia. But... but Li Xia was assassinated, it seems to be King Rong..."

"Enough! I only ask you, who killed my younger brother?!"

Gu Yi was in a dilemma for a while, and replied helplessly: "The humble official believes that someone in Lin'an City is secretly stirring up the truth, and the truth that His Majesty wants to find out, perhaps, has been written...in the poem."

Zhao Yun closed his eyes.

He knew, and he guessed right again.

Just because he stared at his own throne, his younger brother turned husband and wife against each other, siblings became enemies, killed his wives and nephews, and murdered to the point of intolerable, and finally ended up in this situation of blood relatives.

"Yao, Huang, Wei, and Zi opened the order, and they all faded away without realizing it..."

Zhao Yun also wanted Huangcheng Secretary to prove that he was wrong.

But no proof, he was always right.

Continuing to investigate will only make the scandal of the Tian family be exploited by those who want to.

~~
"The reason is very simple. No matter who is framed for Zhao Yurui's death, Zhao Yun will doubt me, and there will be no suitable target. Then simply plant the frame on a ghost, a ghost that Zhao Yun doesn't want to touch.

At the beginning, he would not believe in evil and check me.If the Imperial City Division continues to investigate, they will be able to find out the truth.But Zhao Yuxi knew what Zhao Yun was afraid of best, so he let the ghost out.When the ghost entangles Zhao Yun, he will realize that Zhao Yurui is not worth it, and Zhao Yurui is causing trouble for him. "

"The point is, no one would have guessed that it was Ah Lang from the Zhao Yu Gang?"

"That's right." Li Xia said, "This case must be over soon. Zhao Yurui was killed by ghosts."

After Yan Yunyun listened carefully, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is Ah Lang giving me some advice?"

"Ah."

Yan Yunyun was a little moved, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Alang trusts me? But, Alang has never touched me."

"I have never touched Jiang Fan, Lin Zi, or Gao Nianfeng." Li Xia said, "You are smarter than them, so I will teach you."

"Then...Alang taught me these things because he wants me to marry...Brother Ling?"

Li Xia said: "It has nothing to do with this. You have always cared that you are a woman and a prostitute. But I use you only because you are ruthless and loyal enough. Oh, there is still a chance. At that time, I had no one else to use. Use you, you have been with me for almost three years now. Are you still struggling with women and prostitutes?"

Yan Yunyun saluted and replied, "Understood."

She became much more free and easy, smiled, and suddenly looked a little like Han Qi'an, and said: "Then, I will arrange for someone to offer medicine to Zhao Yu, and create auspiciousness. What Zhao Yun needs most right now is auspiciousness.

Then, Zhao Yu came to visit and 'give' the medicine to A Lang, and after such a show, the grievances disappeared.

Waiting for Jiang Wanli's memorial and Southwest Battle Report to come... Can Alang return to Shu? "

"good."

"Congratulations, Alang, the best strategy will be successful."

Li Xia also relaxed, and said: "Well, other plans are useless. You can go, you can't go through the tunnel, be careful when you go out, don't bring your tail."

"Don't worry, Ah Lang..."
