Chapter 504
To be honest, if she hadn't seen how Li Xiao was trying to kill herself before, Yun Yuexi would definitely think that Li Xiao might be crazy.
But looking at it now, Li Feng also looked at Li Xiao with a dull expression, obviously he did not expect that his father, who had always been stable, would say such outrageous words.
"Li Xiao, do you know what I'm going to say now?" The emperor narrowed his eyes, obviously murderous.
"Of course I know." Li Xiao said lightly, and he seemed to catch Yun Yuexi out of the corner of his eye, and immediately said with interest: "Miss Yun, don't you want to know why the emperor sent me to kill you?"
Yun Yuexi didn't speak, as if she didn't hear it.
And Honglou, who was coming from behind them, suddenly looked at Li Feng and said, "Ouyang Lefeng, did you find the case of Mr. Chen's murder, didn't you present the evidence to the emperor?"
"Evidence?" Li Ruoxian was a little flustered, but seeing that everyone was not in a good mood, she naturally didn't dare to say more. She was not stupid enough to touch the emperor's head now, after all, she learned the first thing about it. It's just watching what's said and what's said.
"It was done by the Yao family." Of course, Honglou knew that Ouyang Lefeng was Li Feng, but the emperor personally arranged for Ouyang Lefeng to investigate the case of Chen Li's murder, so now is the best time to tell.
"Yao family?" Li Ruoxian was slightly relieved when she heard Li Feng's words. In fact, she and Yao Yuying had met a few times, but it was just a cooperative relationship, although she also contributed to the matter of Chen Li at the time. But she wasn't the one who actually killed Chen Li, but she didn't expect to have something to do with the Yao family.
Now Li Feng is naturally very grateful to the red building for diverting Li Xiao's topic, and hastily presented the evidence he found one by one, and Eunuch Liu didn't seem to be affected by Li Xiao's words just now, and respectfully walked to the emperor with a tray before.
"On the night Mr. Chen was killed, Yao Yuying entered the palace with Yao Fengchun's token. The guards on duty at that time can testify to this. In addition, the little eunuch next to Chen Li happened to be in Mr. Chen's room at that time, so when Yao Yuying appeared, he Thinking that she had bumped into Mr. Chen's affair, she didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so she hid under the bed, only to hear that Yao Yuying threatened Mr. Chen with Yun Yuexi's life, and finally asked the girl beside her to kill Mr. Chen. "
In fact, Li Feng only briefly talked about what happened. In fact, he is still very strange now, because when Wen Guanyu first brought people in, he found nothing, no matter whether the evidence or the little eunuch was found. On the contrary, when he started the investigation, the evidences popped up one after another as if they had been discussed, making people really confused, but fortunately...
Li Feng raised his head and glanced at Yun Yuexi indiscriminately. It happened that the other party was also looking at him, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head without further words.
But Yun Yuexi understood what Li Feng meant because of that one glance.
Now he feels that he has cleared Wu Xue's grievances in front of the emperor, so he hopes that she can help Li Xiao get rid of the crime.
But Yun Yuexi felt that Li Feng really overestimated her, based on her current appearance, what reason is there to exonerate Li Xiao?
Moreover, didn't Li Feng realize that Li Xiao is clearly seeking death now?
"Your Majesty, since this incident was committed by the Yao family, does it mean that the wife is innocent?" Wen Guanyu was naturally more worried about Wu Xue, after all, he was the one he loved, and he didn't know that he was in prison. Has he lost weight after staying for so long? As for the others...he really doesn't care about it.
The matter in the palace is really more than one thing, the more you know, the sooner you will die.
"Wen Aiqing, don't worry." Hearing what Wen Guanyu said, the emperor couldn't help saying coldly: "Now we have only found evidence that Yao Yuying may have killed someone, and you can't listen to one-sided words, so... Come here, Xuan Yao Fengchun, Yao Yuying enters the palace."
A sneer appeared on the corner of Li Xiao's mouth, you see, this is the emperor, selfish, and will always find others to bear the crime for him.
While waiting, Li Xiao raised his head and glanced at Ouyang Lefeng, that loving gaze made Yun Yuexi suddenly realize that Li Xiao seemed to know that Ouyang Lefeng was Li Feng's posing, so why did Li Xiao do this?
Before Yun Yuexi could figure it out, Li Xiao suddenly said again: "Back then, the emperor competed with the prince for Ruan Qingyun, but the emperor poisoned the prince. It was too late when Ruan Qingyun found out. After the prince was poisoned and died, Ruan Qingyun, in order to avenge the emperor, Instead, she threw herself into the arms of the Ninth King, and even gave birth to a child for him. At that time, the emperor wanted to kill the child, but unexpectedly, Ruan Qingyun used the child of the Ninth Concubine, who died young, to divert the emperor's attention."
"Eunuch Liu, gag Li Xiao and pull it down." The emperor looked at Li Xiao now like a dead person, obviously he did not intend to spare Li Xiao's life.
Although Yun Yuexi lowered her head, she still felt Li Feng's gaze on her, and she didn't know what she was thinking of. Yun Yuexi suddenly stepped forward and stopped the guards who were holding Li Xiao.
"Yun Yuexi, what do you want to do!" The emperor was annoyed. Even though Li Xiao had said so many old things in a fast manner just now, after all, the people here are all smart people. Even if they heard it, they would pretend not to listen. Yes, but now that Yun Yuexi actually stopped him, did he make it clear that he was going against him?
……
At this moment, Ouyang Haoxuan still doesn't know what happened above the palace hall, and he has searched around with Ouyang Qing for a long time, but there is no other gain, so he can only return to the place just now.
"How is it?" Seeing that Ouyang Yunhua had checked it, Ouyang Haoxuan leaned over and asked, "Did you find anything?"
"These people are ordinary people, not dead men." Ouyang Yunhua's complexion was not very good, maybe it was because the corpse was too corrupted, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she still said vigorously: "And he's from a village."
"A village?" Ouyang Qing scanned around and said in disbelief, "You're not mistaken, so many people died in this village, all of them were middle-aged men, and there are no two old and weak women and children?"
"I said that these people came from a village, but I didn't say that they killed people from a village!" Ouyang Yunhua rolled his eyes, unable to care about Ouyang Qing, he simply turned his head and pointed at the corpse and said, "Although there are calluses on the hands , but it can be seen that it was caused by years of hard work, not by using a sword."
"Lin Xi, what did you find out just now?" It turned out that when Ouyang Yunhua was examining the body, Ouyang Haoxuan had sent Lin Xi to take people nearby to investigate the details. use.
But Ouyang Qing is not someone who gets hit so easily.
For him, this is not his place, and naturally he won't make things difficult for him because of these things, and he won't feel that he is useless just because the other party thinks about him. Speaking of which, he just doesn't like Ouyang Haoxuan, That's all.
But, didn't Ouyang Qing think about it, is it really okay to dislike Ouyang Haoxuan like this?
After all, his name was also Ouyang Haoxuan, wasn't he?
It's just that Ouyang Qing who came here has already assumed her own identity, because it is natural for Yun Yuexi to dislike Ouyang Haoxuan.
"There are seven nearby villages, one of which is Yaojia Village, where most of the villagers have the surname Yao, but now there are only old people and children left. I heard from those old people that the middle-aged people in the village were invited to work in the mountains. Every month I will give you two taels of silver, but I haven't seen anyone for two months, and I haven't given you any silver."
"It seems that these people belong to Yao Family Village?" Ouyang Yunhua raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Where are the women in the village?"
"It is said that he walked with the man. He was supposed to cook, but his whereabouts are unknown now." Lin Xi was also very helpless. Those old people are not young, and it is not bad to be able to ask so many news. As for the children... ...It is estimated that there are not many children left.
"This matter seems to be strange." Seeing that Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Haoxuan were silent, Ouyang Yunhua couldn't help but blinked and asked, "Why are you two silent? Did you think of something?"
"During the famine earlier, the national treasury was in short supply. If Li Xiao hadn't used the money to block the disaster, the emperor probably wouldn't be able to provide the money to relieve the disaster. Thinking about it this way, where is the money?" Ouyang Haoxuan looked at the corpse in the pit, as if thinking He said thoughtfully: "Besides, the Yao family has only Yao Fengchun himself in the capital from beginning to end. Which aristocratic family have you seen like this?"
"Although the Yao family is not considered a family, it is a big family. If you think so, then Yao Fengchun selects the more powerful descendants from these clans to return to Beijing every year, so where are these clans?" Ouyang Qing rarely asked Ouyang Haoxuan bickered, but said seriously: "Maybe this Yao family village is a branch of the Yao family."
"The national treasury is short of money, where did the money go? The emperor never gave an answer from beginning to end, and when I led the troops to go to war, all the military pay came from the Li family or the silver donated by the people spontaneously. What did you do?" Ouyang Haoxuan touched his chin, nodded and said: "The Yao family has been silently obeying the orders of the emperor all these years, when the big families were in front, no one paid attention to the Yao family, so..."
"So, it is very likely that the emperor asked Yao Fengchun to do something that no one knew about, and all the money was spent on this matter. In other words, these people are warriors selected by the Yao family." Ouyang Qing took Ouyang Haoxuan's words, and for the first time there was something called a tacit understanding between the two of them.
"Warrior?" Ouyang Yunhua was also confused by this matter, so she didn't notice the change between Ouyang Qing and Ouyang Haoxuan, she just lowered her head and thought: "Let's assume that they are digging secret passages, and then Don't reveal the secret, everyone involved in this matter will be killed, so what is the emperor hiding? Or... what is he looking for?"
