The people who were watching didn't care. When they heard that Su Wo Yazi was dead, it meant that Du He had won, and everyone cheered.
…
Looking down through the hole, there are actually sharpened wooden stakes underneath. Even if a cow goes down, it will definitely have its intestines broken, let alone the teeth.
Su Wo's teeth are so ugly!
Li Er and the civil and military ministers all got on the ring and stared at the hole one by one.
Li Er glanced at Du He.
Du He shook his head.
Li Er said in a deep voice: "Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, will thoroughly investigate this matter. Within three days, the truth must be found out and an explanation must be given to Japan!"
"yes!"
Wei Ting, minister of Dali Temple, and Li Daozong, minister of punishment, agreed at the same time.
Then, Li Er said: "Du He, come with me!"
Everyone started to get busy, but Li Er called Du He to his residence.
Du He took a quick glance and saw seven or eight archers in the distance, who quickly disappeared from sight.
Li Er said: "Don't worry, these are all sent by me to protect you. If Su Wa Yazi really dares to kill you, I will definitely kill him first. However, I did not expect that things would turn out like this."
Like this, now, if Japan makes a fuss about this matter, it will always be our fault, Datang!"
Du He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is wise and saw that there was something wrong with the arena at a glance. I don't want to hide it from your Majesty, but I also felt that something was fishy!"
Du He briefly explained what happened during the competition.
When Li Er heard this, two gleams of light shot out from his eyes, and he said: "Hmph, you are so brave, you even dare to move on the ring. I want to see who dares to be so bold. Well, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have their own responsibility for this matter."
Go and investigate thoroughly, so you don’t have to worry about it. Do you know why I’m looking for you?”
Du He chuckled: "Your Majesty is just interested in my invincible armor. Your Majesty, please give me a price."
"Well, Du He," Li Erdu was amused, "You eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. You invented the invincible armor, but you didn't present it, and you still dare to bargain with me!"
"I am very poor!"
"Are you poor?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am too poor!" Du He looked harmless.
Li Er: "..."
After a long while, Li Ercai said leisurely: "Okay, what are your conditions?"
Du He thought for a while, scratched his head, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Shen, the vice president of Banshan College, recently gave me a difficult problem, which requires a large amount of shipbuilding and navigation information. However, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only the Imperial Palace Library has it.
I am bold enough to ask Your Majesty's permission to lend the ancient books on shipbuilding and navigation from the library to Banshan College for one month."
Du He said it very cryptically.
In fact, since he started dealing with Japan, he knew that his sailing plan would be advanced.
The most important thing in sailing is to build ships. At present, he lacks a large number of such craftsmen, and even more lacks information in this field.
The most complete information is found in the Imperial Palace Library.
Li Er heard this, but he didn't take it seriously: "Okay, I'm sure, but within one month, you must return all the estimates intact, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is wise!"
"Okay, what about this invincible armor?" Li Er looked at Du He's industrial-looking armor longingly.
Du He took off the armor and put it on the table in front of Li Er.
Then he introduced: "Your Majesty, in fact, these are just a few iron plates. They are not invulnerable, but they can absorb swords and guns and make them lose their power."
"Oh? There are such magical things? But in my opinion, these are just a few iron plates."
"Your Majesty, actually, this is very simple... These are just a few ordinary iron plates, but I added natural magnets to them. Your Majesty, please take a look..."
After saying that, Du He picked up an iron cylinder holding candles from the side.
A long way away, the cylinder was sucked in.
Boom.
Make a crisp sound.
Li Er was stunned.
Invincible armor?
Bullshit!
This is simply a child's play!
He actually agreed to a condition for Du He?
He felt he had been cheated.
However, when he reacted and looked up, Du He had already disappeared.
Outside the big tent, there was the sound of Du He's footsteps and the sound of someone wanting to be beaten: "Your Majesty, I have exhausted a lot of energy in the competition just now and I urgently need to rest. I'm going to leave."
"You bastard...get back here!"
There was no movement outside.
Chamberlain Zhao Yang whispered: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Huyi County has gone far."
Li Er: "..."
Li Er punched the table.
…
That night.
The Japanese mission unexpectedly left Chang'an City quietly without saying goodbye.
The news didn't come out until the next day.
The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were a little confused.
"Su Wo Yazi is dead, don't the Japanese people intend to pursue this matter?"
"It's strange that their prince is dead, but he left quietly. Is there some hidden secret in this?"
"Perhaps it was Du He, the Duke of Huyi County, who threatened him. This is not the first time Du He has done this kind of thing!"
In the court, the civil and military ministers started talking one after another.
In the end, everyone blamed Du He, thinking that it was Du He who threatened the Japanese people and scared them away.
Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained at all.
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, now the Japanese people leave without saying goodbye and take away Su Wo Yazi's body. Although it is strange, it is also a good thing. Otherwise, if the Japanese people take a closer look, Su Wo Yazi did not die in the ring, but died in the ring.
He died because there was something wrong with the arena. I, Datang, must give an explanation to Japan. When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be more than one trouble!"
"What Mr. Changsun said makes sense. Now that the Japanese are gone, the matter has been settled!"
Many people agree with Changsun Wuji's words.
Li Er heard this and said: "What the auxiliary machine said makes sense, but who did it in the ring? This matter must be thoroughly investigated. How are the investigations by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple going?"
Wei Ting and Li Daozong hurried forward to report.
The next day, the case was found out.
It turned out that Yang Yuhua's nephew Yang Youding was bribed by the Japanese. As Yang Yuhua's nephew, he infiltrated the arena construction site. He cut a piece off the northeast corner of the arena and put it back intact. He did a simple treatment.
It looked as if it had not been cut, but the purpose was to use it against Du He. Who knew that Su Wo's teeth fell off on their own in the end.
The case file was sent to the palace, and Li Er was furious.
What Li Er was angry about was not Yang Youding's behavior, but anger that someone dared to liaise with Japan and attack his ministers.
This kind of trend must not increase!
Immediately, Li Er ordered Yang Youding to be executed. Yang Yuhua was implicated and sent to Lingnan.
The supervision of the Ministry of Rites was not strict, and all officials except Chen Shuda, the Minister of Rites, were fined half a year's salary and demoted one level.
Chen Shuda was not punished, not because he was too proud, but because during the whole process, he was still feeding alpacas and pandas at Dream Group and was not involved in this matter at all, so he escaped with his life!
