Chapter 182 Finale (10)

Huzhou.

At this time, the man in black found the man in purple, and the man in purple followed the man in black and went out.

"who are you?"

"I'm just a shadow."

"Shadow, whose shadow are you?"

"You should have heard of his name."

"who is it?"

"Yuan Tiangang."

"It turned out to be him."

"You are dying."

"Death? My glory and wealth are about to come, how could I die?"

"Listen to my advice. Since you are still a talented person, cooperation with me is the way to get ahead.",

"You are just a shadow. You have no right to decide other people's lives. I'm leaving."

The Huzhou County Government Office was turned into a temporary palace, and the Yulin Guards outside the gate were closely guarded. In the court, Wu Zetian sat behind the public case, with a Qianniu guard kneeling below. Wu Zetian said with a pleasant expression: "Well, you did a good job in this matter, I will give you a reward."

The Qianniu guard said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! I have something I want to ask of Your Majesty." I heard that the voice that spoke was the man in purple robe.

Wu Zetian said: "Just tell me."

The man in purple robe said: "This case started two years ago and ended today. For two full years, I have never been home to see you. Therefore, I want to take leave before the emperor comes to visit my hometown."

Wu Zetian said: "This is human nature, why not? I'll grant you two months' leave and you can leave tomorrow."

The man in purple robe kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace!"

……

Youzhou.

Zhang Yang trained the soldiers in the camp so that they could adapt to the rhythm of the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Lu Bing came over and said, "Young Master."

Zhang Yang put down the horse and said, "What's wrong?"

"There are people who want to work with us."

"Who is it?"

"He said his name was Shadow."

Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said, "Ask him to wait for me at the City God's Temple. I'll be there shortly."

"Yes."

Zhang Yang changed into casual clothes and took Lu Bing and the others to the City God's Temple.

I saw this shadow there, dressed in black clothes and a mask.

"You came."

"You want to cooperate with me? A different shadow?"

"There are times when the shadow plays a bigger role."

"what would you like?"

"A promise."

"promise?"

"Your promise, if one day I ask you to save my life."

"You don't deserve it."

"Really? How about using the information about your men Hu Jinghui and Jin Mulan to save my life?"

Hearing this, Lu Bing instantly unsheathed the Xiuchun Dao on his waist and pressed it against Shadow's neck, shouting: "Presumptuous."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and asked Lu Bing to put down his sword, and said: "You are talking about Hu Jinghui. He is just the twin brother of Uncle Zhongyong. Besides, Jin Mulan only looks like Princess Yiyang. I am from Da Zhou." There are thousands of people with similar looks."

Shadow was speechless for a moment, and Zhang Yang continued: "They all have road signs and household registrations. This is not just something you just say."

"Show your sincerity, otherwise our cooperation will only be a mirror image."

Shadow suddenly said: "If I hand over the list of a killer organization that is rampant in Huainan, can this save my life?"

Zhang Yang suddenly said: "I suddenly want to know whose shadow you are."

"Yuan Tiangang."

Zhang Yang said in surprise: "It is indeed him." Then he whispered, raised his head and looked at the shadow.

Shadow was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Zhang Yang said: "I will save your life, but I want two lists."

"clear."

After the shadow left, Lu Bing asked, "Master, do you really want to cooperate with him?"

"It is better to lure the tiger deeper than to seek its skin." Zhang Yang said: "Remember, stay closer to your friends and closer to your enemies. If he is really obedient, then I will find a way to save his life, but If he doesn't obey, let him accompany those captains who touch gold."

Lu Bing listened thoughtfully to Zhang Yang's words.

……

Di Renjie returned to the hotel and kept wandering in the room; Zeng Tai was so anxious that he kept rubbing his hands and muttering softly: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Yingyu said anxiously: "Two adults, you are talking. What's going on?"

Di Renjie stopped and sighed: "I am incompetent and fell into the trap of the other party!"

Yingyu was shocked: "What? A trap?!"

Di Renjie said: "I finally understand now that the reason why he kidnapped the prince was to let the emperor see with his own eyes that the prince was with the traitor, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of harming the prince." Zeng Tai said: "But why did he want to Framing the prince? Is it the emperor’s order?”

Di Renjie shook his head: "Absolutely not. Although the emperor has doubts, he will never instruct the internal guards to frame the prince. They must have ulterior motives! The situation was extremely urgent at the time, and there was no time to inquire about the situation carefully. I think there must be something in between. There is a secret. Now that Li Gui has committed suicide and the prince is in custody, it may be difficult to find out."

Zeng Tai nodded. Yingyu was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes: "You guys have been talking for a long time. Where is the prince? What should I do with the prince?"

Di Renjie sighed: "The current situation is extremely dangerous! If we can't find strong evidence to prove the prince's innocence, not only will the prince's life be at risk, but the world of Li Tang may also come to an end!"

Yingyu cried "Wow": "Sir, you, you must save the prince!"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said: "Today at the scene, I deliberately betrayed the prince for two reasons: First, the emperor is suspicious by nature. If you put all the blame on the prince, she will not believe it. This is This will lay the groundwork for us to rescue the prince later; secondly, if I am strong enough to defend the prince, the consequences will be that not only will the prince not be able to escape the involvement, but I will also be imprisoned. In this way, there will be no one outside who can defend the prince. This also plays into the opponent's plan. Now, if we stay, the prince can still be saved! It's not too late to make amends. I don't believe there is no flaw in this!"

"My lord is absolutely right!" A familiar voice came from outside the window. Everyone was startled and turned to look out the window. There was a soft sound, the window opened, and a person floated in - Li Yuanfang!

Di Renjie shouted: "Yuanfang!"

Li Yuanfang fell to his knees: "Sir, I'm back!"

Di Renjie hurriedly helped him up: "Okay, okay! It's just the right time to come back!"

Li Yuanfang said: "I heard about the conspiracy between the emperor and the purple-robed man. But I didn't know that your Excellency had returned to Huzhou at that time. I thought it was too late to go to Liujiazhuang to inform you, so I decided to act alone and broke into Yubei Lane at night to wait for an opportunity. Rescue the prince..." Then he described what happened next -

Li Yuanfang lay on the roof, gently peeled off a few tiles, and looked down into the room. In the room, the man in purple robe laughed triumphantly: "Li Gui, you finally revealed the whereabouts of the book!"

Li Gui looked at the purple-robed man and then at the prince, and for a moment he didn't understand what was going on.

The prince cried: "Li Gui, don't blame me. I fell into their hands. Yes, he forced me to do this!"

Li Gui screamed and collapsed to the ground. Just then, there was a shout from outside the door. It turned out that the Imperial Guards stormed in.

After hearing this, Di Renjie exclaimed: "Were you present at that time?" Li Yuanfang nodded.

Di Renjie said: "In other words, you saw everything that happened in the house at that time?"

Li Yuanfang said: "Yes."

Di Renjie said: "The prince said that when there was a killing sound in the courtyard, the lights in the house went dark."

Li Yuanfang said: "Yes, the prince did not lie." He described what happened at the scene -

In the main room of the small courtyard, there was a "pop" sound and the lights went out. The man in purple robe pulled out the steel knife as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he hacked all the men in black in the room to death.

Li Yuanfang was about to go down to rescue the prince when he saw the man in purple robe quickly pulled open a sheet in the corner, revealing a dead body inside - it was none other than Liu Chali wearing a purple robe and a mask! In this moment of astonishment, the man in purple robe flew out of the window.

In the blink of an eye, Di Renjie and his people came one after another, but they were a step too late. When Li Yuanfang saw Di Renjie's arrival, he thought for a moment, then turned around and chased the purple-robed man...

Li Yuanfang said: "Originally, I thought that since the Lord is here, the prince would be safe. But who would have thought that the prince still did not escape the fate of being framed!"

Di Renjie asked: "What happened next?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I followed the purple-robed man to the old Yuelai store in the west end of the city..."

Then, he described what he saw——

The man in purple robe ran outside the inn and looked around. There was silence around him, without any sound. He jumped up and quickly swept into the courtyard of the inn. He entered the room, locked the door, took off his human skin mask and purple robe, threw them into a large iron basin, and quickly changed into Qian Niuwei's clothes.

Li Yuanfang hung upside down from the eaves, licked the broken window paper and looked inside. The man in purple robe fastened the buttons of his coat, then walked under the bed, took out a package, reached out and opened it, and inside there were two copies of "The Blue Shirt". The man in purple robe pulled out his dagger, cut off the connection, took out the pictures hidden in the two books, threw the books into the iron basin, and picked up the oil lamp to put the mask, purple robe and "The Legend of the Blue Shirt" in the iron basin. 》Ignite, and in an instant, the flames burst into flames.

Di Renjie listened and kept nodding. Li Yuanfang said: "Originally, I wanted to rush into the room and capture him, but I was afraid of disturbing the situation, so I came back here first and reported to the Lord."

Di Renjie stood up, took a long breath, walked to Li Yuanfang, knelt down and bowed down. Li Yuanfang jumped up in fright, and helped Di Renjie up: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Di Renjie said: "Yuanfang, you must accept this worship. This is for the Tang Dynasty, for Emperor Taizong, and for the late emperor to thank you for turning the tide in the crisis and saving the Tang Dynasty from being overturned."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and Li Yuanfang was even more stunned. Di Renjie kowtowed deeply, and Li Yuanfang quickly helped him up: "Sir, it's okay, it's okay." Di Renjie then stood up.

Yuan Fang looked at the people around him and said, "Sir, to be honest, until now, I still don't understand how I can turn the tide."

Zeng Tai and Ying Yu said: "We don't understand either."

Di Renjie said: "Why did this man in purple robe want to frame the prince?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Di Renjie said: "For the treasure map in "The Legend of the Blue Shirt"!"

"Treasure map?" Everyone was confused and frowning in thought.

Di Renjie nodded: "Yes, there is a 'treasure map' hidden in the three "Blue Shirts". This map involves a huge fortune, which was left by the King of Yue."

Only then did Li Yuanfang understand: "Why did the man in purple robe take out the drawings from the book?"

Di Renjie said: "Yes. He got one copy from Wu Xiaojie, a second copy from Liu Chali, and the third copy was from Li Gui. This Li Gui was a fanatic for the restoration of the Tang Dynasty, and neither Wu Xiaojie is not Liu Chali. He is not afraid of threats or inducements. He is simply a copper pea. There is only one person who can make him speak. Do you know who it is? "

Zeng Tai understood and blurted out: "Prince!"

Di Renjie nodded: "Exactly. Only when he sees the prince will he tell the whereabouts of the book. So the man in purple robe planned this conspiracy, kidnapped the prince, and induced Li Gui to reveal the truth. Then the prince, Li Gui and Liu Zha Li's corpses were all discovered by the emperor. In this way, he not only paid a favor to the emperor, but also obtained the treasure map in the book!"

Zeng Tai suddenly realized: "You mean he wants to steal the treasure!"

Di Renjie said: "This is the reason why he framed the prince. To him, the prince is not important, the treasure is the most important. And what the emperor cares about is only whether the prince is loyal to her. The man in purple robe took advantage of it. Human psychology has created this ingenious trap: the emperor gets real evidence of the prince's rebellion, and he gets the treasure. This is called everyone getting what he deserves."

Zeng Tai said: "Does it mean that the emperor doesn't know about the treasure?"

Di Renjie said: "Of course I don't know. How can the emperor know about this kind of thing!"

Zeng Tai said: "But, but we all know that once your Excellency enters the palace and reveals the treasure map contained in "The Legend of the Blue Shirt", won't he be finished?"

Di Renjie smiled and patted Zeng Tai on the shoulder: "You are still too young. Now, the emperor won't listen to anything he says. "The Legend of the Blue Shirt" and "treasure map" will only make her If you think you are trying to absolve the prince, then you will soon be accused of being an accomplice against the party! As you all saw today, didn’t I almost become a ghost under the sword? "

Zeng Tai suddenly felt enlightened and nodded vigorously.

Di Renjie sighed: "As the emperor, she actually said the words 'Prince Zhanghuai' in front of all the guards. It is conceivable that the anger in her heart is beyond words. In this case, no one can say anything for the prince." Love is a dead end."

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai both nodded.

Di Renjie said: "The man in purple robe knows the emperor very well and has seen this a long time ago, so he boldly concealed the treasure. As soon as the emperor left Huzhou, he took action immediately, took out the treasure, changed his appearance, and got away with it!"

Li Yuanfang took a breath of air: "What a watertight and clever plan!"

Di Renjie sneered: "Skynet is gray and sparse. He just ignored one of the most critical figures!"

Li Yuanfang said: "Who is this person?"

A man walked in from the door and said, "It's me."
