Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 380
"You...you are presumptuous! Huangfukun, this is the court, how can you allow foul language?" A minister standing beside Yang Guozhong trembled with anger, pointed at Huangfukun and shouted sharply.

"Shut up, everyone!" Seeing the two sides arguing endlessly, Li Longji became angry immediately.

Seeing this, the ministers all knelt down on the ground and bowed down at the same time: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"This is the court, not the market! As ministers, you are acting like a market swearing, how decent!" Li Longji scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the ministers are guilty!" All the ministers crawled on the ground and replied loudly.

Among the officials, Li Canghai was the only one who did not kneel down. He stood alone without any movement.

Li Longji stared at him, not knowing what he was thinking, he stroked his beard angrily, and said in a deep voice: "Li Canghai, I hope you can give me an explanation."

Li Canghai did not speak. After being silent for a while, he suddenly bowed deeply to Li Longji and said seriously, "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"

Li Longji frowned slightly, and the atmosphere became frozen for a while.

Everyone strained their ears, Li Longji's answer would determine Li Canghai's fate.

After a long while, Li Longji let out a sigh of relief and said, "I believe in you."

When Cui Huan and the others heard this, joy immediately appeared on their faces, while Yang Guozhong and the others turned ugly.

Li Canghai nodded, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why I let Wuyin go is to find out from him the whereabouts of 'Linzhu' who is behind the scenes of 'Nilin Xuanwu'!"

"Hmph, this is all you said, who can prove it?" Yang Guozhong snorted coldly.

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said calmly: "There is no need to prove it, because I have already found Lord Lin."

When this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Li Longji was also a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Where is the traitor now?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the traitor had fallen into the urn, but was rescued by his associates." Li Canghai bowed and saluted.

"So you haven't caught the traitor?" Yang Guozhong sneered.

"It's true that I didn't catch him, but I got some news from him. I think Master Yang will be very interested." Li Canghai said calmly.

Yang Guozhong frowned slightly, and snorted coldly: "What news?"

"Naturally, it was an assassin who cooperated with the rebels to assassinate An Lushan, but killed Wusumish by mistake." Li Canghai said plainly.

Yang Guozhong's heart skipped a beat suddenly, he stared at Li Canghai coldly, and shouted: "What does this have to do with the truth?"

Li Canghai shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "According to Lord Lin, the killer held a letter and asked to cooperate with Lord Lin. The letter said that he would assassinate An Lushan. This happened to be used by the rebels. Therefore, he killed Usumish by mistake."

"What do you want to say?" Yang Guozhong's pupils shrank slightly.

"I want to say that Master Yang's name appears to be on the letter that the killer carried!" Li Canghai said with narrowed eyes.

"You are framing!" Yang Guozhong's eyes were wide open, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he hurriedly bowed to Li Longji: "Your Majesty, Li Canghai is spitting blood, I hope Your Majesty will decide for you!"

Li Longji looked deeply at Yang Guozhong, and said coldly: "Guozhong, what Li Canghai said is true or not?"

Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "I am loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts! Li Canghai is spitting blood! I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

Li Canghai sneered a few times, and he also bowed to Li Longji and said: "Your Majesty, I also want His Majesty to investigate this matter personally. Coincidentally, I captured the traitor Zuo Shi yesterday. This person is a member of the traitor organization. He is responsible for the high authority, solicitation and bribery of officials. His majesty will know the truth in the next trial!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Guozhong's face instantly turned into a pig liver color.He didn't expect that Di Hentian would also fall into Li Canghai's hands!

"Where is this person now?" Li Longji was clearly angry.

"Return to Your Majesty, this person has a special status and is being imprisoned in a hidden place." Li Canghai glanced at Yang Guozhong coldly, and bowed back.

He didn't want to move Yang Guozhong, after all, he had to rely on him to contain An Lushan, but Yang Guozhong was so aggressive that he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

He has always despised people like Yang Guozhong who harmed Zhongliang and turned right and wrong.

If it can be overthrown and the officials can be rectified, as long as the emperor works hard to govern, perhaps Datang can avoid the Anshi Rebellion.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Yang Guozhong cannot be brought down, after this incident, the emperor's trust in him will not be as good as before.

Li Longji stared at Yang Guozhong, with nameless anger flashing in his eyes.

Yang Guozhong rolled his eyes, knelt down on the ground, and cried in a fake way: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! If your majesty doesn't believe in me, I can only die to show my will!"

As he spoke, Yang Guozhong yelled and slammed into the jade steps.

With a bang, a large amount of blood flowed out of Yang Guozhong's head.

Those who followed him knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiangguo is devoted to the country and loyal. How could he collude with the rebels? I hope His Majesty will see clearly!"

Li Longji was also taken aback. He didn't expect Yang Guozhong to show his ambition by death, so he hurriedly said with concern: "Guozhong, I believe in your loyalty! Someone, help him to rest, and the imperial doctor came to bandage his wound." !"

Li Canghai and Li Tan looked at each other, and they both frowned.

It can be seen from this matter that Li Longji's favor and trust in Yang Guozhong is definitely more than anyone else.

Li Longji picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and pondered: "The rebel's words are mostly false accusations, so don't believe them all. I believe in the loyalty of the country, I'm afraid the rebel deliberately told you that the purpose is to cause civil strife among the courtiers. Li Canghai, since you have met the leader of the rebels, do you know who he is?"

Li Canghai sighed secretly, Yang Guozhong just used tricks to wash away his suspicions, and it will be even more difficult to deal with him in the future.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I don't know the identity of Master Lin yet. However, I will do my best to investigate." Li Canghai replied.

"Li Canghai, I believe in you, and I hope you will not disappoint me." Li Longji said.

"I will go all out!" Li Canghai bowed deeply.

"Forget it, let's retreat!" Seeing that the officials had nothing to do, Li Longji waved his hand.

After the ministers bowed down, they withdrew from the court one after another.

After leaving the main hall, Li Canghai talked with Li Tan.

"My lord, thank you for seconding Jianning Tiewei and me."

Li Tan smiled lightly, nodded disapprovingly, and asked, "Cang Hai, have you really found the 'Lin Lord'?"

"I did find the 'Lin Lord', but let him escape. The prince once said that the 'Lin Lord' was among the crowd that night. I wonder if the prince has any doubts?" Li Canghai asked.

Li Tan frowned slightly, and said: "This king suspects about a dozen people. During this time, this king sent people to observe them secretly, and found nothing unusual."
