Zhang Mu may follow the crowd, or he may bully the weak and fear the strong.
But he's not stupid.
When Yang Tong asked this question, he hit a vital point in his heart. His face suddenly turned pale, and he lowered his head and didn't know how to respond for a while.
"Tell me! How did you escape from Yangshan? Who saved you!" Yang Tong shouted loudly at that time.
Zhang Mu's body trembled, and his head buried even lower.
"I...I..." Zhang Mu hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something, but he happened to feel the cold gaze from Ying Li on the side, and he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
"Don't want to say it? It seems that the person who rescued you must be shady. Why don't you write it down for me?!" Xia Xianyin on the stage also smelled it, her face darkened, and she said in a cold voice.
The three swordsmen and penmen look at me and I look at you, they look sick.
"If you are still unwilling to write, then I think today's joint trial will be temporarily suspended. I will wait until the commander-in-chief sends some people who can write to come, and it will not be too late to review again!" Xia Xianyin said with squinted eyes.
Although she is not very old, she has also been an official in the Wuyang court for several years, so she naturally understands what these guys are afraid of. After saying this, the expressions of the three swordsmen and pen officials suddenly changed, and they did not dare to hesitate, lowering their heads and looking at their respective cases.
The pen in front of the stage is like a dragon or a snake.
"Remember me to review the lyrics." Xia Xianyin saw that the three of them had surrendered, and glanced at Zhang Mu coldly, and then said: "Zhang Mu, a disciple of Dongqing Academy, was at the Liyang Divine Staircase when Yangshan was destroyed."
"Yangshan Mountain is thousands of feet high. Zhang Mu's cultivation is no higher than Panqiu, but he can escape from the Fierce Sun Staircase in an instant. If he appears under Yangshan Mountain, he must be rescued by an expert."
"But this guy can't tell the truth and doesn't want to reveal the name of the person who did it."
"Of course!"
"On that day, apart from Li Danqing, who communicated with the last spirit of the holy mountain in Yangshan, only Youyun's spy could do it. There are many fishy things about this matter. Zhang Mu is suspected of being a member of Youyun's accomplices.
, be detained in jail from now on, and escorted back to the Tianjian Division for retrial..."
When the word "Jiansi" came out that day, Zhang Mu's face turned pale - in a place like Tianjiansi, regardless of guilt or innocence, as long as you enter, you will have to take off half of your skin if you don't die.
His body was trembling and he looked at Ying Li who was standing aside as if he was asking for help. However, he saw that Ying Li's face was equally ugly and he didn't pay any attention to his thoughts.
Zhang Mu immediately panicked and hurriedly said: "Sir, spare my life! I have never met the people in Youyun. They really weren't the ones who saved me!"
"Who is that?" Yang Tong asked at the right time.
Zhang Mu paused, a little undecided.
"I advise you to think carefully before answering. Whether it is glory, wealth or power in this world, it only makes sense if you have a life to enjoy it..." Yang Tong narrowed his eyes and said softly.
Yang Tong's words almost became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Zhang Mu's body trembled and he no longer hesitated.
"Yes! It's Li Danqing! It's Li Danqing who saved us!"
He lowered his head and spoke loudly, and as soon as he said this, the expressions of everyone present changed. Ying Li and Qin Chenggu's expressions were ashen, and it was hard to see the extreme.
"I wonder if you are still satisfied with this evidence?" Xia Xianyin smiled when she heard this. She turned her head to look at the crowd and asked in a deep voice.
Although everyone in the audience was unwilling to do so, they could not refute this in the slightest. They all had gloomy expressions and remained silent.
"Do you have anything else to ask Li Shizi? If not, then please Li Shizi step aside first, and we will continue to interrogate the people behind. However, everyone who has participated in the Yangshan Xinghui Gate cannot
Let it go!" Xia Xianyin made the final decision at this moment and said this.
Li Danqing blinked at Xia Xianyin without looking at the other people in the room.
At this moment, he bowed and then left.
Yang Tong beside him also bowed and left. Just when he was about to walk out of the main room, Qin Chenggu suddenly stopped Yang Tong: "Dean Yang!"
Hearing this, Yang Tong turned his head and looked at Qin Chenggu. Qin Chenggu just gritted his teeth and whispered: "I hope that Dean Yang will not regret today's decision in the future!"
Yang Tong smiled bitterly, saluted Qin Chenggu again, and then left the main room together with Li Danqing without looking back.
…
At this moment, outside the door, Qingzhu and others were like ants on a hot pot, very anxious.
Seeing Li Danqing walking out, everyone's eyes lit up and they gathered around him.
"How is the dean?" Liu Yanzhen stepped forward first and asked.
"I've already come out, what else can I do?" Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders and said very relaxedly. "I've told you all, I just went to see old friends. My prince's reputation for charity is well known all over the world.
I made a lot of friends in Wuyang City in my early years, and we are all acquaintances, but it is just a formality, is it possible that it could really be something big?"
Li Danqing spoke so calmly that everyone in the Dafeng Courtyard was doubtful. On the other hand, Yang Tong, who followed him out from the side, raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Danqing with a somewhat meaningful look.
"I think the person who just entered seems to be Xia Siming..." Qingzhu also asked at this time.
Li Danqing nodded. After receiving such a response, Qingzhu felt certain in his mind. He probably guessed that this trip to Yingshui City would not be a serious problem.
At this time, a herald came out of the house and looked at the people outside the house and said loudly: "Master Xiwen of Dafengyuan."
Qingzhu was stunned, and Li Danqing comforted him: "It's just a formality. Everyone has to go and say whatever they know. It'll be fine."
Qingzhu naturally had 100% trust in Li Danqing. After hearing this, she did not doubt his presence. She nodded and followed the herald into the main room.
Everyone in Dafengyuan was still a little uneasy after seeing this, but Li Danqing knew that with Yang Tong's testimony and Zhang Mu's reluctance, unless Ying Li and Qin Chenggu could come up with something new, there would be nothing they could do in the short term.
Then impose this guilt on him.
He said at this time: "You will also go in later. Don't worry, Xiao Xianyin is one of our people. Why do we call it collusion between the government and the people? It is definitely not a big deal. Just think of it as a long-term experience. We will go through the formalities earlier.
Go back to Gale City."
After that, Li Danqing looked at Zhou Jingshui and her mother who were standing aside, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Tang, please come back to Dafeng City with us. There is nothing good in Yingshui City. Dafeng City has beautiful mountains and clear waters, so you should go and relax."
Li Danqing's words were polite and saved Tang Ru's face. Naturally, Tang Ru would not refuse and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Dean Li."
"It's easy to talk. This prince is known as a kind person, and these are all what I should do." Li Danqing said shamelessly, then looked sideways at Yang Tong, raised his eyebrows, and pointed not far away.
In the open space, he asked: "Let's talk?"
Yang Tong nodded slightly: "That's exactly what I meant."
…
"Is everything you said true?" The two of them walked to the open space. As soon as Yang Tong was sure that no one could hear their conversation, he looked at Li Danqing and asked.
Li Danqing blinked: "Of course it's true, don't you know that Xiao Xianyin is my son's son?"
Yang Tong was stunned, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Who cares about your trivial matters! I'm asking you about Wang Juetong and Long Tuo Yan Ya!"
Li Danqing just woke up from a dream. He scratched his head and said: "You asked this! Of course it is true!"
"Then what about you saying that Youyun will send troops to Yingshui County within ten days? Is it true?" Yang Tong asked again, looking very nervous.
Li Danqing gave him a somewhat strange look, and then said: "This is... I'm scaring them."
Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and glared at Li Danqing fiercely: "You dare to talk about this matter casually..."
"I'm not the roundworm in Long Tuo Yan Ya's belly. How can I be so accurate? If he has to wait until the eleventh day to send out troops, I have no choice but..." Li Danqing shrugged his shoulders easily and said helplessly.
.
Yang Tong, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was almost angry at Li Danqing's words.
He coughed for a while, and then looked at Li Danqing: "So, Youyun will really use troops against Wu Yang."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Li Danqing rolled his eyes at Yang Tong and said.
"Why are you so sure?" Yang Tong asked with some confusion.
Li Danqing looked at Yang Tong like he was an idiot: "If you don't need soldiers, then what do you mean by Long Tuo Yan Ya making such a big fuss?"
"Being able to destroy a holy mountain is a huge loss to Wu Yang. Isn't that enough?" Yang Tong asked with a frown.
Li Danqing rolled his eyes: "Holy mountains are indeed valuable, but one holy mountain can shake the foundation of Wuyang? Do you believe this?"
"Furthermore, with such a shame and humiliation, the whole court must have been in turmoil. Which of those reckless men in the Longxiang Mansion wouldn't want to take this opportunity to clean up the troops and go to war and make achievements?"
"Wu Yang will definitely take revenge. Privately, Ji Qi will protect his reputation for future generations. Publicly, he will give an explanation to the world."
"I understand this, and so does Long Tuo Yan Ya. What do you think he will do?"
Li Danqing's question made Yang Tong stunned. After being silent for a while, he looked at Li Danqing and murmured: "Is it better to strike first?"
"Well, not bad. Children can be taught." Li Danqing nodded with satisfaction.
If he had been so humiliated by Li Danqing on normal days, Yang Tong would have been furious. But at this moment, he obviously didn't have such thoughts. Yang Tong, who wanted to understand the joint, took Li Danqing's hand and started to move towards that
Walk into the main house.
"What are you doing? You finally came out and went in again?" Li Danqing broke free from Yang Tong's hand and said.
"How could such a big thing not be reported to the court? If something really happened, it would be a huge disaster!" Yang Tong said anxiously.
"I didn't realize it, but you, Dean Yang, are quite worried about the country and the people." Li Danqing gave Yang Tong a strange look and said with a smile.
Yang Tong had no intention of paying attention to Li Danqing's teasing, so he stretched out his hand to pull Li Danqing up again.
But Li Danqing retreated to avoid Yang Tong's outstretched hand: "It's useless."
"If this piece of information could be handed over, it would have been handed over long ago. The Ying family was responsible for taking away the Yangshan Holy Foundation when Yangshan was destroyed. This incident was enough to implicate the Ying family among the nine clans. What Ying Xiangjun has to do now is to think
We must do everything possible to put this matter to rest, and any news that may interfere with this matter will not be sent to Wuyang City."
"Wuyang has not suffered a defeat for so long that everyone thinks that Wuyang is as solid as Mount Tai."
As Li Danqing said this, his eyebrows suddenly sank, and his expression became a little ferocious: "So that..."
"Ji Qi even thought that my father was just a burden and that the White Wolf Army was dispensable."
"Then let him see the Wuyang world without Li Mulin..."
"How weak!"
Yang Tong was stunned. He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, at his face that was no longer full of laughter. At the fierce light in his eyes, at the cold brows...
