Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 723
In his opinion, this kind of thing would never happen in the Tang Dynasty he governed.

Especially when the official defended the Lin family and sent Zhang Yuan to prison, it was really satisfying.

Li Longji even felt that this story could be used as a model for instructing all officials.

However, the story does not end here.

Then, the story suddenly changed, and several walking silhouettes carrying boxes appeared on the screen.

Just when Li Longji was wondering, two tall men suddenly appeared and blocked the way of several people.

Those two couldn't help but said, they stepped forward and cut the person in front of them in half with a knife.

With a scream, blood immediately sprinkled the entire curtain.

"Your Majesty! The daughters of the people are wronged!" At this moment, Ningxiang's mournful cry suddenly came from behind the curtain.

Ning Xiang's shrill cry suddenly startled everyone.

"Bold! On such a festive day, you actually performed such a cruel thing. What is your intention? Come, take this woman down quickly!" Before everyone could react, Song Kun stood up immediately, pointing Ning Xiang shouted sharply.

Hearing this, several guards rushed up immediately, about to catch Ning Xiang.

"I see who dares to step forward?" Di Qing suddenly appeared in front of Ning Xiang, and shouted with wide eyes.

"Princess, this woman deliberately said this bloody thing, it is clearly a conspiracy. The princess defends her so much, could it be that she was instructed by the princess?" Song Kun knew that Di Qing was Li Canghai's confidante, so He deliberately drank.

Di Qing snorted coldly and said: "My lord, Ning Xiang is just telling a story, how did she plot something wrong? Could it be that you are the person she is telling in the story?"

Song Kun's face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "Your Majesty, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. What do the people in this story have to do with me?"

"Oh, since it has nothing to do with you, why are you in such a hurry? Besides, Ningxiang is a guest of the imperial concubine, do you still want to say that the imperial concubine is plotting against the emperor?" Di Qing said with her eyes wide open.

As soon as this remark came out, Song Kun's face suddenly became ugly.

He hastily knelt down to Li Longji: "Your Majesty knows clearly, the princess took the meaning out of context, and I have absolutely no intention of doing so!"

Li Longji said with some displeasure: "Song Aiqing, this is just a story, why are you so serious? You interrupted the story for no reason, which made me lose my interest."

"I'm just worried about your majesty's safety, and I hope your majesty will forgive me." Song Kun looked loyal.

"Okay, get up! Since she was brought by my concubine, how could she have any plans for me? The story continues, but I'm curious, what's the story behind this?" Li Longji stroked his beard.

Seeing this, Di Qing turned to Ning Xiang and said, "Ning Xiang, tell your experience boldly, the Holy Majesty will decide for you!"

Ning Xiang nodded, then knelt down on the stage, weeping loudly: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has a grievance, I beg Your Majesty to make the decision!"

"What's wrong with you?" Li Longji asked curiously.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the shadow puppet show just now is not a pure story, but something that really happened. Minnv and my father made a living as a shadow play performer. When they came to Chang'an a few days ago, someone found my father and gave him ten taels of silver. Minnv and others staged a tragedy of the Lin family in Chang'an. On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Minnv and her father performed a performance according to what she said. But the next morning, when Minnv and others were about to leave, they encountered a killer blocking the way. My father and two senior brothers She was brutally slaughtered, and the girl was lucky enough to escape, please Your Majesty to make the decision for the girl!" Ning Xiang said with sobs and tears.

Li Longji frowned immediately after listening.

"Since your father and daughter make a living as a performer, have you offended anyone?" Li Longji asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Minnv and others have traveled the rivers and lakes, being kind to others, and have never offended others. I hate the killer who indiscriminately killed Minnv's father and senior brothers with cruel means. I beg Your Majesty to make decisions for Minnv and return Minnv justice." !” Ning Xiang choked up.

"This is strange. Since your father and daughter have no enemies, who would want to kill you?" Li Longji asked, stroking his beard.

"Your Majesty, even if there is a murder case, it should be handed over to the local yamen for investigation. This woman offends Your Majesty without any reason. It is a crime of disrespect! Your Majesty, please decree that this woman be imprisoned. After the truth of what she said is found out, Release it again!" Song Kun, who had just stood up not long ago, stood up again at this time, and said righteously.

At this time, Yang Yuhuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels that Miss Ningxiang must have grievances, otherwise she would not risk her life to beg Your Majesty to decide. What's more, the concubine likes this shadow play very much. Xiang stays with the concubine, and when the concubine learns this way, it can be seen by your majesty. I wonder what your majesty thinks?"

Li Longji pondered for a while, nodded and said: "What my concubine said is very true. I also think this shadow puppet is quite interesting. If it can be combined with the dance in the Liyuan, it will be more interesting. If this is the case, then I will do it for her once." host."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Ning Xiang kept crying as she touched her head to the ground.

Li Longji glanced at the officials, and finally stopped on Li Canghai.

"Li Canghai, is there someone in your Dali Temple who can resolve this matter and give her justice?" Li Longji asked lightly.

Li Canghai walked out, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, this matter can be settled by me, why do you need to find someone else?"

Li Longji smiled and said: "Li Aiqing, don't forget that the things you promised me have not been completed yet. Within two days, find out the truth about the murder of your adopted daughter, find out who colluded with the traitors, and Catch the head of the thief. The two-day deadline will come in a few hours. If you can't give me the answer I want, you will be beheaded! Before you are beheaded, recommend one to me. The right person to choose!"

Li Canghai also smiled: "How does Your Majesty know that the subject will definitely be beheaded?"

"Oh? Have you resolved all these matters?" Li Longji asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, I asked His Majesty to come here this time to settle these matters in front of His Majesty." Li Canghai said confidently.

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were shocked.

No one could believe that Li Canghai was able to resolve these matters within two days.

Seeing that he looked quite confident, but he didn't seem to be lying, everyone suddenly became curious.

"Oh? Then I'll have to wait and see." Li Longji stroked his beard and said with interest.

"Then you're going to be presumptuous." Li Canghai said with a slight salute to Li Longji, "Actually, the murder of my righteous daughter, the robbery of the head of the bandit, and even the murder of Ningxiang's relatives all came from the same source. .”

"What do you mean?" Li Longji asked.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me and speak slowly. In fact, my righteous daughter did not kill anyone. She just fell into someone else's trap and was mistaken for the murderer." Li Canghai said.

"Master Li, it's ridiculous for you to say this. The murderer is your adopted daughter, so you will naturally excuse her." Song Kun snorted.
