Chapter 179 The Emperor’s Scheme

"Li Si?" Li Zhao was slightly startled. This name was very familiar. If it was the Li Si he knew, he must be Li Si's evil slave.

But how did he become evidence?

Suddenly, he thought of something and was shocked.

Since arriving in Chang'an Township, there have always been some figures wandering outside Chang'an Township. Later, after being discovered by Slave, Li Si was among them. After Li Si's collapse, he didn't pay attention to it.

"Did Li Si become Jia Xiong's evil slave?"

Li Zhao's face turned serious.

A bad guess filled my mind.

"Pass on Li Si." The waiter shouted, and after a while, Li Si was brought up.

Li Zhao took a closer look and saw that he was indeed the evil slave of the Li Mansion, and his face became even more ugly.

If this person learned about the situation in Chang'an Township and informed Jia Xiong, what would be the consequences? Li Zhao couldn't believe it.

He secretly cursed himself for being careless and not realizing how sinister some people were.

"Li Si, tell me everything you saw in Chang'an Township." Jia Xiong saw Li Si and signaled.

Li Si stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, and his eyes fell on Li Zhao in the middle of the crowd, with a vague evil look on his face.

"Don't be afraid. Mr. Zongzheng is the one who makes the decision for you, and no one can touch you." Jia Xiong encouraged Li Si because he was afraid of Li Zhao.

Li Si was not afraid, but was thinking about what words to use to kill Li Zhao.

He wanted to avenge his master, and he wanted to let this man die without a burial place.

"No!" Li Si glared at Li Zhao viciously, showing no fear that this was the imperial court, the most majestic place in the world today.

"Master Zongzheng, I have conclusive evidence that Li Zhao killed hundreds of students."

oh!

When Zong Zheng heard this, he did not hide his joy and asked repeatedly: "Who are you? What is your relationship with Li Zhao? How did Li Zhao kill the student?"

"Zongzheng, I am a slave of the Li Mansion." The word 'Li Mansion' is ambiguous. Li Si's mansion is Li Mansion, and Li Zhao's mansion is also Li Mansion. Li Si's Mansion has been sealed, so Li Mansion is the latter.

Already.

This is what many people think.

"I have watched Li Zhao grow up since I was a child."

"The villain came to Chang'an Township yesterday and saw Li Zhaoming enslaving and killing students wantonly. Everything the villain said is the truth and I would never dare to lie."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Li Zhao with a look of jealousy and hatred.

This son is a slave of the Li family, so it is not an exaggeration to witness the murder process. Moreover, as a member of the Li family, what Li Si said will never be false and can be used as a witness.

Zong Zheng was overjoyed and immediately asked Li Zhao: "Li Zhao, do you know that you are guilty? Students are the hope of our country, and your majesty has decreed to treat them kindly. But you are better off killing people wantonly. Do you still have the laws of our country in your eyes?"

Not allowing Li Zhao to explain, the sect leader glanced at Tingwei: "Where is Tingwei? May I ask Li Zhao how to deal with this crime?"

As one of the Nine Qings, Tingwei was a little displeased to be spoken to from such a high position, but since the clan leader was from the clan, it was hard to show it, so he went out and said: "According to the law, I should be killed, but General Li is the commander-in-chief of my court.

Don’t act rashly, you need sufficient evidence.”

His meaning is very obvious. Li Si's words alone cannot prove that Li Zhao killed the students.

Zong Zheng didn't expect Tingwei to speak like this, so he glared at him fiercely and then looked at Jia Xiong.

Jia Xiong understood and said, "Everyone must know that yesterday the student went to Chang'an Township, and Uncle Sun Tong, the doctor waiting for the imperial edict, was also accompanying him. Why not call him and ask, so as to know whether what Li Si said can be used as evidence."

When Li Zhao heard this, he frowned and glanced at Jia Xiong inadvertently.

Why did this person ask Shusun Tong to testify?

Shusun Tong has been tied up by Wu Quan and secretly detained in the inn. This is done very secretly. I believe not many people know about it, but Jia Xiong dares to say this. Is there any change?

That idea is getting stronger and stronger.

When the ministers heard this, their eyes looked a little strange.

They knew that Shusun Tong followed his disciple to Chang'an Township. However, since the student was killed, Shusun Tong would not be able to survive. But why let him testify? Could it be that Shusun Tong was not dead?

This is good news. If it is true, then Li Zhao will definitely die.

Some people are happy to see this result, but Li Zhao is really annoying.

"Yes, Shusun Tong is also involved in this matter. He is a rare witness to announce that Shusun Tong has entered the palace." Zongzheng waved his hand, and someone went to announce it.

In Li Zhao's anxious eyes, he saw Shusun Tong, and his expression changed drastically.

The bad premonition just now may almost become a reality.

That is, the hundreds of people who were secretly held in the inn last night were robbed, and Wu Quan and others may also have suffered.

But that's not right! He was at the inn last night, and nothing happened. He left the inn this morning at 10:00, and only one hour passed between now and 00:00.

The next moment, his face turned ugly.

Someone must have robbed the inn at this hour and rescued Shusun Tong. In that case, the bad guy was also rescued.

This is not a good sign.

That's right, since Li Si is Jia Xiong's man, he will definitely inform Jia Xiong if he knows about Chang'an Township. With Jia Xiong's ability, it is not difficult to take down Wu Quan and others.

Still careless!

This time there was really no evidence. He originally wanted to rely on these students to guard against the conspiracy of some thoughtful people, but he still neglected it.

Fortunately, he had reported the incident in Chang'an Township to Your Majesty last night, otherwise he would have died.

"Dr. Daizhao, yesterday you saw Li Zhao ordered someone to kill the student."

After Shusuntong came in, Zongzheng immediately asked, not giving Li Zhao a chance to reply.

Shusun Tong had no expression, nor did he have the brilliance of the past. He looked lifeless, as if he knew he was in danger, even if Jia Xiong told him, he would be fine.

After looking at Jia Xiong, he nodded without saying much.

"Exactly!"

He had to lie.

It was Jia Xiong who sent people to rescue them this morning, and asked him to go to court to testify, and even threatened the Shusun family.

He has no ability to resist, and he can only do this for the sake of his family.

"Haha!" After receiving a positive reply, Zong Zheng laughed, looked at Li Zhao teasingly, and shouted: "Li Zhao, what else do you have to say."

Li Zhao sighed, what else could he say? The only evidence had been taken away, and people like Shusun Tong were lying. No matter how much he said, it was useless. Instead, it was a waste of saliva.

There is nothing he can do now, the only way is to see His Majesty. Only His Majesty can clear him of the unfounded charges.

Of course, after this incident, he also knew who wanted to harm him. Judging from the situation in the main hall, besides Jia Xiong, there was another Zongzheng who didn't want him to have an easy time.

As for the reason, there is no need to dwell on it.

"I don't want to say anything, I want to see His Majesty."

He is too lazy to pay attention to Zongzheng, let alone call himself a ‘subordinate’.

Seeing this attitude, Zong Zheng rolled his eyes sharply and his anger was rising.

"Meet Your Majesty, are you still qualified to meet His Majesty now?" He immediately ordered Ting Wei, "Ting Wei, the evidence of Li Zhao's murder of students is conclusive. It goes without saying how to deal with it!"

"I suggest" after all, he was not the emperor and did not dare to make rash decisions. He could only suggest, "immediately kill Li Zhao to set an example and comfort many students."

"Yes, Li Zhao has been convicted and should be executed immediately and asked to be dealt with by the Tingwei." Jia Xiong agreed.

Wei Ting frowned.

He just didn't want to offend Zong Zheng, but he was not afraid of him. He raised his hands and said, "As I said before, General Li is the commander-in-chief of our court. I have no right to deal with him. It's up to Your Majesty to make a decision."

"You? It's obvious that you are showing partiality. The evidence of the crime is conclusive. Your Majesty does not need to make a decision." He left the court lieutenant aside and immediately ordered, "Come here, capture Li Zhao and execute the chariot splitting immediately."

The words were spoken, but no guard responded, which made Zong Zheng feel like exploding.

It was Feng Quji who came forward to smooth things over.

"Zong Zheng, as Tingwei said, General Li is the commander in chief and it is up to Your Majesty to make a decision."

"However, since Your Majesty has an itchy body and is not interested in political affairs, he can temporarily step down from his military duties to wait for his crimes and be temporarily imprisoned in Xianyang Prison. Is that okay?"

Feng Quji asked Zong Zheng pleadingly.

Zong Zheng glanced at Feng Quji and was very angry. He didn't know that Feng Quji favored Li Zhao. However, Feng Quji was the acting minister personally appointed by His Majesty, and it was difficult to refute, so he made this decision.

"Forget it! Li Zhao, you have been convicted. Now you are temporarily relieved of your duties as commander-in-chief and thrown into prison."

"Come here, execute it immediately."

"No!" Finally a guard responded, and then the guard escorted Li Zhao away.
