Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 316 Conspiracy
Li Canghai's heart moved, and he thought to himself: Sure enough, it was mixed with other poisons.However, he remained calm and said calmly: "You don't need to know how I got this information, you just need to know that your plan to threaten officials with poisoned wine has failed."

The officials who were a little vacillating showed joy and began to lean towards Li Longji.

"Killing a few people with poisoned wine will make all the officials believe that this is a curse, so they will feel fear. If even all the officials believe that this is a punishment from heaven, the emperor's decision will be meaningless, and you can logically force the emperor to write Issue the imperial edict, so that you can easily take over the Great Tang Dynasty without a single soldier, am I right?" Li Canghai squinted his eyes and said calmly.

"What a vicious strategy! You bunch of traitors, I'm going to tear you to pieces!" Li Longji growled furiously, gnashing his teeth.

The faces of the injured Taoist and others became more serious, and now they knew that they had underestimated Li Canghai.These were all carefully designed plans by them, but Li Canghai knew all of them. If he deduced these, then his scheming can only be described as horror.

Seeing that they were silent, Li Canghai smiled coldly, and continued: "Of course, these are not all of your arrangements. In order to force the emperor to write the edict of abdication, you have made several arrangements. Among them, the least attractive but extremely The important plan is to be carried out by Di Hentian, am I right?"

The injured Taoist frowned slightly, and when Hongyan heard Di Hentian's name, his body trembled involuntarily, which made Li Canghai more sure of his inference.

His confidence suddenly increased, and he stared at the two of them and said: "Although Di Hentian is in Zhengyang, everything he does is in cooperation with your actions. It can even be said that there are a large part of you who can control Luoyang Palace so easily. The credit comes from him, am I right?"

"You're right, I didn't expect you to even know about this? I'm curious, what else do you know?" The injured Taoist's ear moved slightly for a moment, and then he confessed bluntly.

Li Canghai stared at the injured Taoist, and he understood instantly.

The tone of the injured Taoist's speech at this time is obviously different from before. If he was questioning before, it is more like explaining now.Li Canghai knew in his heart that someone behind the scenes must be transmitting to him, but he didn't look around, but continued to talk without showing any emotion.Because, he knew that Li Tan was the person behind the scenes.

Li Canghai smiled indifferently: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient!"

"You are not weak, but you are short of numbers after all, and the emperor has the imperial army accompanying him. It is not easy to attack the emperor, so this Luoyang has become the most critical part of your plan."

"Oh? How do you say that?" The injured Taoist asked with a frown.

"The emperor must have a large army to accompany him on his eastward tour. However, as soon as he comes to Luoyang, the large army will be confined outside the city, so that your plan can continue to be implemented." Li Canghai walked forward a few steps with his hands behind his back, Then he said: "However, you know very well in your hearts that even if the army is restricted outside the city, there are Jinwu Guards guarding Luoyang to protect the emperor. Jinwu Guards are all elite soldiers and strong generals, and they will be your biggest obstacle, so your next steps The plan is to deal with them."

Speaking of this, Li Canghai casually glanced at Yang Guozhong and Liu Tong.

"To deal with the Jinwu Guard, General Huangfu must be the primary target. As long as General Huangfu is imprisoned, the Jinwu Guard will naturally lose its combat power. Therefore, you have carefully planned against General Huangfu."

"Tell me." The injured Taoist narrowed his eyes.

"You first learned about the itinerary of An Lushan to escort Wusumish, and set up an ambush to assassinate in a deserted village outside Luoyang City. Sure enough, Usumish was assassinated to death, and General Huangfu was punished by the emperor for this, and he took back his military power. You were implicated and kicked out of Luoyang to wait for dispatch, so you can use Ying Yangwei to enter the palace."

Li Canghai's tone suddenly became cold, he clenched his fists tightly, and even his breath became thicker, as if a refugee who died tragically in a deserted village appeared before his eyes, a murderous intent suddenly burst out in his eyes.

"Liu Tong drove all the beggars out of Luoyang, gathered them in a deserted village, and sent people to guard them strictly, depriving them of food and drink. When An Lushan escorted Usumish to the way, he provoked conflicts between the beggars and refugees, And took the opportunity to assassinate Usumish. By the time General Huangfu arrived, the deserted village had already been littered with corpses, and the so-called hundreds of killers were actually innocent refugees and beggars who died tragically!"

Li Canghai's forehead was throbbing with veins. He tried his best to control his emotions. After taking a deep breath, he continued: "Luoyang was originally guarded by the Jinwu Guard, but Usumish Khan was robbed and killed by so-called hundreds of killers outside Luoyang City. At this time, if someone with a heart is added to fuel the flames, General Huangfu will naturally be relieved of his military power."

"Li Canghai, you are too presumptuous! Your Majesty gave you responsibility for this matter, not for you to talk nonsense!" Yang Guozhong suddenly shouted.

"Master Yang, I'm just talking about the facts, why are you talking nonsense?" Li Canghai glanced at him coldly, and replied unceremoniously.

"A matter of fact?" Yang Guozhong snorted and said, "You are clearly exonerating Huangfu Kun! Huangfu Kun is in charge of defending Luoyang, but he didn't do his best, and even there are so many killers hidden in Luoyang City. Without knowing it, releasing his military power is a little punishment for him!"

"Master Yang!" Li Canghai raised his voice suddenly, and shouted coldly, "Do you know the identities of those hundreds of killers? And do you know how they died so tragically?"

Li Canghai's sharp eyes swept over everyone, and finally stopped on Liu Tong.

He paused every word: "Those are unarmed refugees and beggars!"

Trying to control his emotions, Li Canghai took a deep breath, and continued: "It is only because of this that the follow-up plan can be implemented. Hundreds of lives were slaughtered, it is simply the work of beasts!"

"How do you know this?" The injured Taoist was still passing on the news, and asked with his ear sideways.

Li Canghai said indifferently: "Because I escaped from that massacre by chance."

"Massacre?" Li Longji frowned slightly, and he shouted fiercely, "Liu Tong, is what Li Canghai said true or false?"

Liu Tong was sweating profusely, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, I... I just drove out some troublesome people for your majesty's safety. I don't know what massacre is, your majesty!"

"You are so brave, how dare you lie to me?" Li Longji slapped the dragon chair and angrily scolded Liu Tong.He looked at Li Canghai, and said deeply: "Li Canghai, I already know about this matter, and I will dismiss him and investigate afterward."
