Such a big movement in the back house immediately alarmed the front hall.
When the little prince was dragged out with a slight force, Murong Nuohebo finally arrived and roared to stop him.
No one paid any attention to the internal guards.
It was originally a puppet regime that supported the vassal state, but now it has become a subjugated slave relying on others. Do you really think you are a figure?
Li Yan looked at this person and felt a little disgusted.
If it weren't for this man's incompetent rule, which made the people in Tuyuhun miserable, the Gar family would not have mobilized 200,000 soldiers from the territory of Tuyuhun to fight in the Battle of Dafeichuan.
Even if the 200,000 soldiers are mixed, the number is here after all. It is conceivable that almost all the young and strong men who can participate in the war will join the ranks of fighting against the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, when Qinling came to rule later, the people were almost in dire straits, and all the people participated in the war to overthrow it.
The king is a boat, and all the people are water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This Confucian saying could not be more accurate. Li Shimin kept it in mind, but many rulers were not willing to understand it at all.
Compared to Murong Nuohebo's fuss, Princess Honghua looked at the banner in Li Yan's hand and her face changed drastically: "Who are you?"
Li Yan still has some respect for Princess Honghua. After all, she married Tuyuhun and kept the border stable. She has made great contributions: "Li Yuanfang, deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty and internal security envoy, has met the princess. Please advise me."
If the prince confesses, I will try my best to ensure that he is dealt with leniently!"
Princess Honghua took a deep breath: "You are so young that you can be the deputy envoy of the envoy and be given a banner. It is obvious that the holy family is prosperous. I am the eldest princess. If you give me some face and forgive my son,
I will remember this kindness!"
Li Yan responded with silence.
Lift Li Zhi out to suppress me?
When had Li Zhi ever cared about the so-called family relationship? Let alone a sister who was not a biological sister, even a sister born to Empress Changsun would not be of much importance in the eyes of that ruthless and unkind saint.
As for Princess Honghua, she probably didn't have much affection for Li Zhi. During the Tang Dynasty, Wu changed her surname to Wu and was named the eldest princess of Xiping by Wu Zetian. Later, her great-grandson married Wu Zetian's niece.
Li Shimin: "..."
The seniority is a bit confusing, let me sort it out.
When Princess Honghua saw that Li Yan was unmoved and her son was wailing, she knew that the matter was difficult to resolve. Her attitude changed again and she pursed her lips: "Then it's okay for me and my wife to participate in the interrogation together, right?"
Li Yan knew that their presence was to give the little prince confidence.
But sometimes the presence of parents can often break down psychological defenses.
He nodded and said: "Princess please!"
Everyone went directly to the Governor's Mansion.
The governor manages the affairs of a continent, and there is also a prison in the governor's house, where serious and important criminals are imprisoned.
Qizhou is also Shangzhou, and the torture equipment is well-equipped. When the little prince was taken in, the child's legs were shaking and he couldn't even stand firmly.
The arrival of the princess and his wife made him feel as if he had received an amnesty: "Father! Queen! Save me! Save me!"
It wasn't until Li Yan came in together that the shouting suddenly stopped.
After Li Yan, came Wei Chengqing, Wei Xuanzhen, Shen Juyuan, and finally Li Yiyan walked in.
The chief and deputy envoys of the Tang Dynasty each maintained their own integrity.
Looking at the two banners, Princess Honghua's eyes became more solemn.
At this time, she knew that it was impossible to resist forcefully, and she could only hope that her son would not be guilty of serious crimes.
However, when Li Yan spoke, the air in the prison became cold: "Hang him up!"
The two jailers hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward, one to the left and the other to the right, grabbing the two arms and half-hanging him up.
The little prince was completely stunned.
What's even more stupid is that although his parents looked extremely ugly, they didn't dare to stop him and watched this scene happen.
After showing off his power, Li Yan began to tell:
"There was rebellion in the imperial court and secret connections with Tibet. The criminal department of the inner guard Dali Temple interrogated the witnesses one after another, but in the end they were silenced. The saint was furious!"
"The method used by the murderer is consciousness-only energy, and what is hidden in the secret compartment is the secret scroll of this energy. Apart from the master Qi Ji in the Daci'en Temple, this is probably the only secret scroll left in the world. .”
"I originally thought that Master Xuanzang had accepted a successor in Famen Temple, but I didn't expect that you secretly put this package containing the secret scroll in while you were worshiping the relics. In this case, I have every reason to suspect , there is some kind of connection between the murderer and you."
When he said this, his eyes sparkled, and a strong sense of oppression arose spontaneously: "Now that your parents are here, tell me, I will be lenient if I confess!"
The little prince had spilled the beans before, and knew that denying it was impossible. Seeing that his parents could not save him, despair filled his eyes.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then whispered: "Someone asked me to let him go."
Everyone looked serious, and Li Yan asked: "Who?"
The little prince shook his head: "I don't know who that person is. I only heard the voice. That person is always standing in the darkness. I can't see it at all..."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "You are willing to listen to such a hidden guy and put a package of unknown origin under the relic seat?"
The little prince said: "I don't know that the secret scroll you mentioned is related to the case in the capital. I also looked inside the baggage, which contains some Buddhist scriptures. I also learned the martial arts in the secret scroll, but I can't learn it at all. That People have said that once things are returned to their original owners, they will teach me a powerful set of powers, so I just did it..."
Li Yan's expression became solemn: "Return the property to its original owner?"
Wei Zhenxuan couldn't hold it in anymore: "When you opened the secret compartment, what did you see inside?"
The little prince said: "There was a Buddha statue that I liked very much, so I took it away."
Wei Zhenxuan said flatly: "How big is that Buddha statue? You carried it away all the way at such a young age?"
The little prince said: "I gave it to the guard, who took it away."
Wei Chengqing looked at the princess and his wife: "You two are unaware of this?"
Princess Honghua didn't say a word, but Murong Nuohebo said: "I saw it, but I just thought it was a gift from Famen Temple and didn't care about it."
Everyone showed disdain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was obviously a theft, and it was returned as a gift from the temple. You doted on your child to this extent, and you really deserve it.
Wei Zhenxuan: "Where did you put the Buddha statue?"
The little prince said: "It's in the cupboard in my house."
Wei Zhenxuan didn't care about anything else and walked out immediately.
Li Yan continued to ask: "Then what's your purpose of leaving knife marks on the outside of the pedestal?"
The little prince said: "I heard that this pedestal was protected by Buddha and could not be destroyed by fire. I didn't believe it. I just got a new sword recently, so I tried to chop it..."
Everyone: "..."
You are really intolerant of the things that low-quality tourists do.
Yang Zaisi was puzzled: "Since you secretly exchanged the secret object, you still dare to try the knife?"
The little prince said confidently: "It was precisely because I didn't know the seriousness of this matter that I tried the edge of the knife. It turned out that the light of the relic was useless at all. It split when I cut it!"
Everyone looked at each other, inevitably a little disappointed.
I thought I would be able to catch the clues to the murderer, but it turned out to be just an accident caused by a spoiled child playing?
Perhaps the person who instigated him had ulterior motives, but there was obviously little hope of getting clues from the child.
Princess Honghua composed herself and said, "Can you put my child down?"
Li Yan smiled slightly: "Princess, do you believe what I say?"
Princess Honghua's face was filled with anger. The queen of a king showed the majesty of the actual person in power: "What does Deputy Ambassador Li mean by this? Although my child is naughty and mischievous at a young age and is exploited by traitors, it is not a big mistake. Do you want to
Stare him to death?"
Murong Nuohebo also yelled: "My son has confessed, what else will Deputy Ambassador Li ask before he gives up?"
Li Yan said leisurely: "Your Majesty is very smart. He can make up such a lie in a hurry that suits his status and age. It is quite good. But he is still a child after all, so he still ignored it."
Princess Honghua's pupils narrowed: "What?"
Li Yan didn't answer and came to the little prince: "Tell me, why are you pretending to be sick?"
The little prince was stunned for a moment, hung down, and his eyes started to roll around.
Li Yan walked slowly, his tone was calm, but every word hit his heart: "According to what you just said, you don't know the seriousness of this matter at all. When someone comes to ask, just explain it, or you have an arrogant temperament and think that it is a big deal."
Yu’s son, then just disappear, it’s all a trivial matter anyway.”
"In the end, you chose to pretend to be sick. You even made a special soup and asked me to take your pulse, just to avoid being interrogated."
"This is a sign of complete guilt."
"As expected, later I found out that I knew Dr. Liu. I was afraid of being exposed, and my illness suddenly recovered. You have no evil intentions in your mind, so why do you need to repeat it?"
Cold sweat ran down the little prince's forehead.
Li Yan hasn't finished speaking yet: "What you just said is probably not all false. Some of it is true. Let me take a guess."
"You really don't know the importance of the package, and you left the knife mark just to test the knife. I'm not sure about this. After all, it's normal for young people to occasionally escape."
"But you should know the identity of the person who asked you to do this. The identity of the other person is the key to this case. In order to escape guilt, you deliberately denied it!"
Li Yan stopped, looked at the pale face of the little prince, and finally concluded: "It is not easy to have such quick wit at such a young age, but lies are lies, and there are always inconsistencies."
"Don't take chances anymore. If you can do everything perfectly, we won't find you at all, and your parents won't have to suffer here with you. Do you understand?"
The little prince looked up at the princess and his wife.
Murong Nuohebo looked around, a little at a loss. Princess Honghua weighed the pros and cons and shook her head slightly at her son.
After opening his eyesight, Li Yan looked around six directions and took in the whole scene. He smiled and said: "Look, your mother also knows that if you don't tell her, she will be completely hopeless. I'll be honest and be lenient, just tell me!"
Princess Honghua: "..."
The little prince finally said miserably: "I'm not sure about that person's identity, I just suspect that he...he is...the Tubo secret guard!"
