Yuan Tuan now only hopes that the emperor can give him a lenient sentence for Lin Yi's sake.
Yuan Tuan said truthfully: "Hai Shi. We drank until just before we broke up...Lin Yi also invited Feitian Shu and Mr. You, who all have a good relationship with Lin Yi. Lin Yi said that he was leaving Beijing soon, so he invited some brothers to drink
Lin Yi also drank a lot tonight..."
After hearing this, the emperor's face turned from anger to joy, and he said to Yuan Tuan with a pleasant look: "It's none of your business. Since you've drunk too much, just go to bed."
Yuan Tuan was immediately confused by the emperor's change.
Yuan Tuan quickly thanked him.
After Yuan Tuan went down, the emperor happily said to Teng Bin: "I was worried that this matter had something to do with Lin Yi. In the end, it had nothing to do with it. My second brother didn't cause me any trouble. Haha..."
Tengbin was also very happy.
He also didn't want Lin Yi to get involved.
Because this matter is too big.
The emperor then said to Teng Bin: "If anyone doubts Lin Yi, let him ask Feitian Shu and the others directly. If he still doesn't believe it, let him ask me."
Teng Bin said: "Yes!"
But how did the emperor and Teng Bin know that it was Lin Yi who assassinated Shangguan Minghong.
Of course Lin Yi knew how serious the assassination of Shangguan Minghong was. So Lin Yi thought of everything. In order to prevent people from suspecting him, and in order to prevent the blood demon clan and Shangguan Minghong's gang members from colluding to make a big fuss about this matter, Lin Yi let
Someone pretended to be him and invited some friends from the DPRK and China to drink.
With these few friends testifying, everything is safe.
So this time Lin Yi's plan was perfect.
Although the Blood Demon and the Iron-faced Lord guessed that Lin Yi was responsible, there was no evidence at all.
The next day, Lin Yi "learned" that Shangguan Minghong had been assassinated and rushed to the general's mansion.
The General's Mansion is now shrouded in solemnity and sadness.
People from various yamen of the Criminal Department, as well as Shangguan Minghong's gang members, were constantly coming in and out.
Shangguan Minghong's body has been examined and has now been placed in a coffin.
The coffin is placed in the funeral shed for relatives and friends to pay their condolences.
His family put him into a military uniform and covered him with a piece of horse leather. Because Shangguan Minghong often told people before his death that his greatest wish in life was to die in battle for his country and be buried in horse leather.
Although he was assassinated and did not die heroically on the battlefield, his family still gave him a piece of horse leather.
No one knows that Shangguan Minghong belongs to the blood demon clan and is the most mysterious demon soul.
No one knows the despicable things he did.
So in people's eyes, he is a hero.
The mourners were very sad. Shangguan Minghong’s relatives were kneeling at the side of the mourning hall, wearing sackcloth and mourning, and the sound of wailing could not be heard.
Lin Yi stood in front of the coffin, also looking sad.
Lin Yi also shed some tears in public.
Then Lin Yi comforted Shangguan Minghong's family and went into the palace to see the emperor.
Seeing Lin Yi's sad expression and his eye circles still red, the emperor said: "I know that you and General Shangguan are brothers and sisters. I am also very sad to lose a great general. You and I can bear with you and accept the change."
Lin Yi said: "If I hadn't been hunting down the Kunlun Demon, I would have investigated this case myself! To avenge the bloodshed of my 'brother'."
The emperor also hoped that Lin Yi would get rid of the Kunlun Demon as soon as possible.
"You concentrate on dealing with the Kunlun Demon. General Shangguan's case, I will order people to investigate with all possible strength." At this point, the emperor looked at Lin Yi again and said: "I now suspect that it was done by Prime Minister Lu's gang. However, the Minister of Dali Temple said that he personally dealt with
The executioner conducted an autopsy and found that the assassin's martial arts skills were top-notch. He didn't look like someone from the imperial court. He was probably the work of a top master in the world. Did you know that Prime Minister Lu is still connected with those powerful figures in the world?"
When Lin Yi heard this, he thought to himself that although Prime Minister Lu was thrown into prison, at least his life could be saved now.
If Shangguan Minghong's death was pinned on Prime Minister Lu, the emperor would probably kill Prime Minister Lu in order to appease Shangguan Minghong's party members and the people.
Lin Yi cleverly said: "I secretly joined forces with Prime Minister Lu to deal with the Kunlun Demon, and I never heard that Prime Minister Lu mentioned that I was also in contact with other powerful figures in the world. This time I came to Beijing to track down the Kunlun Demon. I couldn't figure it out at first.
Why did the Emperor dare to come to the capital when the Kunlun Demon made the emperor so angry? Now that my brother has been assassinated, could it be related to the Kunlun Demon? The Kunlun Demon has extremely high martial arts skills, and his subordinates, the Northern Demon and the Iron Demon, are all top masters in the world..."
Lin Yi's words can be said to be persuasive.
After hearing these words, the emperor suddenly seemed to understand something.
The Emperor said: "Now I will tell you the truth. It was General Shangguan and I who designed to force out Xiang Lu's 'original form'. General Shangguan knew that Xiang Lu would meet the 'Mingyue Feihuang', and it was the Iron Demon who told him. The Kunlun Demon used General Shangguan to get rid of Lu Xiang."
Prime Minister, he was worried that General Shangguan would expose their secret deal and cause trouble, so he sent people to assassinate General Shangguan and silence him! Otherwise, why would the Kunlun Demon dare to come to the capital if Shangguan is dead?
Just ran away..."
Lin Yi said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming!"
The emperor then said to Teng Bin: "The Kunlun Demon has a serious suspicion! Order Dali Temple to investigate carefully. If it is really the demon, kill it!"
Teng Bin said: "Yes!"
Teng Bin went to deliver the order, and Lin Yi said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you should also be more careful. Now I am worried that the demons will jump over the wall in a hurry."
The emperor said: "Don't worry about me. The palace is like a copper wall and an iron wall. There are also nine emperor-protecting monks and Teng Bin. If you dare to assassinate me, you are seeking death."
Lin Yi said: "Then I'll be relieved. I'll also track down the Kunlun Demon. But before I leave Beijing, I want to see Prime Minister Lu again."
The emperor said: "Why do you still want to see him?"
Lin Yi said: "I want to talk to him in person and learn more about his deal with the Iron Demon. Only by knowing more about the situation can we deal with the Demon Clan."
The emperor said: "Okay. When the time comes, someone will record the confession. If it is found that it was the Kunlun Demon who did it, it will be a testimony."
So the emperor wrote a handwritten edict, ordering Yuan Tuan to take Lin Yi to the Demon Prison.
Yuan Tuan told Lin Yi that the emperor summoned him in the middle of the night.
Yuan Tuan said with a smile: "I thought the emperor would punish me heavily, but I didn't expect that Hou Longyan would be very happy. Haha, this is the benefit of drinking with you. If you treat me to drinks more in the future, maybe I will be promoted and make a fortune next time."
Lin Yi understood that the emperor had doubts about him at that time.
Fortunately, the plan was thorough.
Lin Yi arrived at the cell where Lu Xiang was imprisoned. Since there was someone taking notes nearby, Lin Yi pretended to ask Lu Xiang for some information.
Naturally, Lu Xiang also cooperated with Lin Yi.
Finally, Lin Yi looked at Xiang Lu in the iron cage and said, "Do you know why I ask these questions?"
Prime Minister Lu said: "I don't know."
Lin Yi looked at Xiang Lu with a special look and said: "Shangguan Minghong was assassinated at two o'clock last night. He died miserably. Shangguan Minghong is my eldest brother, so I must find out the truth!"
Mr. Lu's spirits were lifted after hearing this.
He also looked at Lin Yi with a special look.
At this moment, Prime Minister Lu understood who killed Shangguan Minghong.
That's Lin Yi.
Prime Minister Lu told Lin Yi Kanpeng's clever plan, hoping that Lin Yi would move Shangguan Minghong.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yi killed Shangguan Minghong once and for all.
Prime Minister Lu suppressed his excitement and nodded towards Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also nodded towards him, and then said: "Take care!"
Prime Minister Lu said: "Take care!"
Both of them knew in their hearts that after this separation, they might never see each other again.
Lin Yi stood up and walked out of the prison.
Lu Xiang in the iron cage laughed happily.
Because although Shangguan Minghong defeated him in a fight, Shangguan Minghong himself met a tragic end.
