The female assassin's mask was taken off at this time. Although she was not said to be a fairy, she still looked like Xiaojiabiyu. She didn't look like a killer assassin. Moreover, her words were whispering and fake, unlike
So tense.
Hearing Feng Yu's words in such serious terms, the female assassin became nervous. As she said, she did not intend to implicate Li Chong's family, but just wanted him to bear the blame for his negligence. She did not expect that Li Chong would come here in person.
He also personally admitted his acquaintance with her. If he is convicted again at this time, it will not be a light sentence.
The girl kept talking intermittently for a long time, and she didn't even know what to say in a complete sentence.
"I, I, I don't know, I thought he~"
Feng Yu sat in the main seat and looked at her, and he could roughly guess that she and Li Chong were definitely related, and it was not simple. They were very familiar with each other, but they also hated him a little, but they also cared about his family.
"Do you think he will pretend that he doesn't know anything about it, and then you can distance yourself from the Li family? If you kill me, you will die. Even if you die, you will have to take off his black gauze hat? Hate him so much? Then
You should admit to knowing him more, so that the guilt will be heavier, right?"
The female assassin struggled, but to no avail. She shook her head repeatedly, "That's not the case, that's not the case. I have no intention of harming his family. I just hate him for being an official, and I don't want Brother Ran to be implicated!"
"Brother Ran? Who is your brother Ran?"
"I, I don't know, I don't know Brother Ran, Your Highness, you heard wrong."
Looking at the blinding lies, Feng Yu really didn't expect that an assassin's acting skills would be so poor, and he dared to assassinate him like this. He really thought that Seven Kills and Tianmu were coming back, and he was still nervous. It was a waste of emotions.
.
"Did I hear wrongly? Then do you think so many people like me heard wrongly? Mr. Li, how about you explain to her, who is Brother Ran in her mouth?"
Li Chong knelt there, but did not speak. It was obvious that he was familiar with Brother Ran, but he could not tell him.
"Your Highness, I am willing to bear all the blame. Please let them go. Your Highness!"
Feng Yu put the tea cup down hard, and the sound frightened Li Chong so much that he knocked his head on the ground.
"Master Li, I just said that you are diligent, talented, and well-organized in handling affairs. Now do you want to change my opinion so quickly? The assassin named a very important person, but you have to ignore others.
, shouldering the responsibility alone, is this responsibility so easy to resist? Or do you think I am a fool?"
"Your Highness, I don't dare. It's just that this matter has nothing to do with my family. This girl just hates me. She doesn't have the strength to hurt His Highness at all. Your Highness, there is only one person left in her family now.
Please let her go."
Feng Yu did not accept this trick. He sat there without raising his head and did not listen to Li Chong's plea at all.
Li Chong didn't hear the sound for a long time, and knew that his plea would have no effect at all. He raised his head helplessly and knelt there, telling the whole story sentence by sentence.
"Well, Your Highness, this matter has to start many days ago. This girl's name is Luo Yuwei. Her father is an old friend of mine. I also watched this girl Yuwei grow up. Our two families have a close relationship.
Be good.
However, not long ago, the military pay sent by the imperial court to Qingzhou arrived in the middle of the river, and I was responsible for guarding and escorting it. Although I consider myself not a person with a heart for the world, I still know my duty as an official. This batch of military pay and food and grass are of great concern.
The battle of Qingzhou, which is about to be led by His Highness himself, and state affairs are about to begin, must not be delayed.
But something happened at this juncture. There are some bandits who have been stationed on the nearby hills all year round. They knew that I had a large amount of military pay and food and grass. They were jealous and wanted to occupy it. I also knew what they would do.
I have always been careful about my uneasy behavior. But who knew they would actually threaten the lives of Luo's whole family? I couldn't sleep, but in the end I didn't agree. Instead, I secretly transported the general's pay and food out of Jiangzhong City.
I planned to try to rescue them, but I didn’t expect that when the bandits found out, they became furious~"
"So, you mean to abandon the life and death of your best friend in order to protect the army's pay?"
"Your Highness, if you have the ability to get the best of both worlds, you won't give up either side! It's just that my niece has always resented me for this matter, thinking that I deliberately didn't save her family because I was afraid of losing my hat.
of."
"What about her? Didn't the bandits capture her?"
"This~"
Seeing that he had something hard to say, Luo Yuwei directly spoke for him, "Brother Ran and I were not in Jiangzhong at that time, because I had just celebrated my birthday, and Brother Ran took me out to play, and then
When I came back, I escaped the disaster."
"Since you know the reason, why do you have to harm him? After all, he is the uncle who has watched you grow up, doesn't he have any feelings at all?"
"I, I'm not, I didn't want to kill Uncle Li, I just wanted to~"
"Get out of the way, let me in, let me in! Dad! Yuwei!"
The noise outside the door interrupted the conversation of several people. Feng Yu frowned, guessing the identity of the visitor, but this kind of intrusion made him a little angry.
"who?"
"Your Highness King Huai, I am Li Ran, the son of Li Chong, and I have something to report! Please give me a chance to explain clearly!"
Feng Yu said towards the door, "Let him come in."
A tall and thin man walked in quickly, his eyes lingering on Li Chong and Luo Yuwei. Although the two were fine at the moment, once the guilt of assassinating the prince was confirmed, they might be
No one can afford it.
"Are you the Brother Ran mentioned by this assassin? Li Chong's son?"
Li Ran knelt down directly and said, "Your Highness, I am Li Ran. This matter is not what my father thought it was. I just want to make everything clear."
Feng Yu found it interesting, "What I just presented can almost constitute the whole thing. All the Luo family except Luo Yuwei were taken as hostages. Li Chong failed to agree to the exchange when he was guarding the army's pay. As a result, the Luo family was unlucky.
Yuwei harbored a grudge and assassinated me to harm Li Chong. Do you have anything else to add?"
Li Ran's voice was full of confidence, as he was a practitioner, "I know that this is generally the case, but what I want to say is that Yuwei is not that kind of person. Her original intention is not to assassinate His Highness, let alone
You’re not trying to harm my dad!”
"But that's the truth, isn't it?"
"My father treats Yuwei as his own child. Yuwei has been close to my family since she was a child. How could she feel resentful because my father puts national affairs first? She is a lady who likes to read and knows a lot of truths. She doesn't understand at all.
It’s our family’s fault.”
"tell me the story."
"Yuwei originally thought that for such a big thing as the assassination of His Highness, my father's official position would definitely not be preserved. Those bandits not only harmed the Luo family, but also took revenge on our Li family. They have appeared several times.
She also threatened to kill all of us in the Li family. Yuwei has a kind heart and doesn’t want the Li family to be left behind, so she wants to use this matter to get us to leave Jiangzhong.”
"Leave Jiangzhong? Avoid vendetta, seek safety, and sacrifice yourself at the expense of yourself. It sounds like you are a heroic woman. However, this matter can be told, why do you need to take dangerous measures?"
Li Ran then glanced at his father, and then said: "Yuwei has already discussed this with us, but we didn't agree and locked her up for fear that she would do something stupid. But we didn't expect that it would happen like this.
Qing Qing was not targeting His Highness from the beginning to the end, so why should I ask Your Highness to show mercy beyond the law!"
Feng Yu looked at Li Chong, "Since you want to protect yourself and don't want to sacrifice Luo Yuwei, you can just leave. Why stay in the river? Are you waiting for the bandits to come to you?"
Li Chong sighed helplessly, "Your Highness, you don't know something. These bandits are very difficult to deal with. I have led troops to suppress the bandits several times, but failed to eliminate them. I contacted several other cities.
But this hilltop is complicated, and there are crisscrossed waterways, making it difficult to capture. There are many martial arts masters among them, and we have lost a lot of people. If this thief is not eliminated, it will be difficult for the people to live a normal life."
Feng Yu laughed loudly when he heard this. He didn't know whether he was excited or angry, "So, you stay here, try your best to please me, and want to use me to help you suppress the bandits?"
Taking advantage of the prince, and doing everything before was intentional. Such a thing is inherently unsightly and difficult to end, and Li Chong had nothing to say.
"One wanted to save someone else's family and came to assassinate me in the middle of the night. The other wanted to take advantage of me and wanted to suppress the bandits. He could also save Wu Shamao along the way. Maybe he could go one step further. You guys have such a good idea. You are so smart.
Na."
The three of them didn't say anything. The truth of the matter was here, but after all, they had offended King Huai. Li Chong's thoughts were revealed, and Luo Yuwei took action directly. No matter how he dealt with it, it would not be an exaggeration.
Li Chong begged again: "Your Highness, this matter is caused by my lax discipline as an elder. Their juniors are just out of filial piety. If you can be lenient, I am willing to die for the crime!"
"father!"
"Uncle Li!"
Feng Yu looked at the three people. In the end, everyone was thinking about them, but he was the only one who was included in the calculation. It was really unlucky.
"You mean, after you die, I won't pursue this matter anymore, right?"
Li Chong became a little anxious, "Your Highness!"
Luo Yuwei also hurriedly pleaded: "Your Highness, I thought I could let them leave. I didn't know that it would destroy the nine tribes. Kill me now, kill me! Please let them go!"
"Let them go? Will the problem be solved then?"
"But, they are all~"
Feng Yu curled his lips, "Hey, does this king look so murderous? When did I say I wanted to destroy the nine tribes?"
The three of them were stunned, "Your Highness, what did you mean just now?"
