Strictly speaking, it seems that none of these can be called dolls, even those made by poor families for children to play with are more elaborate than this one.

But even such a patchwork of rotten wood is enough to make people realize his usefulness and shudder because of it.

Because on the white brocade fixed by several embroidery needles outside the doll, there is a line of small characters clearly written in ink, which is Lu Hou's name and his birth date.

Witchcraft, real sorcery.

People around looked at Li Xi with shock and fear in their eyes.No wonder Lu Hou would rather destroy the future of his son-in-law than arrest him. This is not a deliberate framing with a slant of heart, but a last resort out of extreme anger.

The elders who originally admired Li Xi also lost their faces.

Unlike those immature movers, they think more.

As old people who have been active in court for a long time, they are well aware of Li Xi's life experience.

The status of the twin sons in the Hou's mansion can be said to be very embarrassing, and Lu Hou doesn't like him very much as he has shown to the outside world, but is extremely jealous, even loathing.

After all, the approval letter from the fortune teller was still in his ears, and this kind of child who restrained his relatives would always make him feel a little pissed. If Li Xi hadn't won two yuan in a row and became famous in one fell swoop, I'm afraid Lu Hou would have exiled him in Jiangnan's house and left him in the cold for the rest of his life.

For such a reason, it is not surprising that Li Xi feels resentment towards Lu Hou.But after returning to the capital, this child has always been very filial, and his behavior is also orderly. It is unimaginable that there is such a secret in private.

A father who is not kind, naturally cannot expect pure filial piety from a son.

But after all, he is the biological father, and if he disagrees with him, he will kill him, which is really frightening to think about.

What's more, Dazhou has express laws and regulations on witchcraft, as long as it is involved, it is a capital offense.Even the father can cast a curse without changing his face, how can he know that it will not harm His Majesty?

There was a dead silence in the hall, and the surrounding atmosphere became chilling.The person who bumped into the servant just now has been taken down by the guards, but it is Li Xi's Shuang'er attendant who is close to him.

"Your Excellency, it is clear that this thing was all done by Lu Yunxi, and no one in the Hou Mansion knew about it. The Hou Ye was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted, and the wife was dying of miscarriage. Only the young master managed the overall situation reluctantly in the mansion. The family scandal also involves the taboos of the Zhou Dynasty. The young master means to take him back first, and wait until everything is found out. Then ask the adults to make decisions. Unexpectedly, the house is too chaotic, and this lowly servant was allowed to escape and report the news, which disturbed me Raise a son's banquet." When Lu Hou's confidant saw that the matter was exposed, he quickly complained, and blamed all the crimes on Li Xi's master and servant.

The doll in his sleeve was dug out from Marquis Lu's yard after he found Mrs. Hou's doll.He only saw this after Lu Hou fainted. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so he had to keep it on his body temporarily, but he didn't want to fall out here.

But it should be God's will.

Lu Hou's confidants took a peek at Li Xi, and thought to himself, it was Lu Yunxi's fault after all, so don't blame him for pushing them out to take the blame at this time.

The boy's defense made the atmosphere in the hall more condensed.

Lu Hou was in a coma, Mrs. Hou had a miscarriage, and no one in the mansion was in charge of the overall situation. These three messages were enough to make everyone imagine a big drama in the back court of the Hou Mansion.

Lu Yunxi is the only legitimate son of Marquis Lu, and intends to become an official, but Marquis Lu has no son or concubine.If Mrs. Jihou doesn't have this child, there is a high probability that the Hou's mansion will belong to Lu Yunxi in the future.However, Mrs. Hou's old clam gave birth to a bead, and unexpectedly became pregnant. Even the imperial doctor of the imperial hospital said that it must be a son.

Lu Yunxi has endured for many years and was not favored.After finally keeping the clouds open, how could he just watch everything go to waste, so he decided to curse Lu Hou's family to death, and then seize power.

"It's such a ruthless method, even my own father is not spared." The young man of the Xiangfu who was watching the excitement before opened his mouth, and he didn't know whether he sighed intentionally or unintentionally.

Although his voice was not loud, it was extremely clear in the quiet environment right now.As for the other people who heard his words, they all looked at Li Xi with fearful eyes.

The elders discussed in a low voice for a while, and then they planned to ask someone to go to Jing Zhaoyin, who was in charge of the case, to interrogate in public.But who would have expected that before they could open their mouths, the sound of the death knell could be heard in the distance, right in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

Then, the doorman of the Prince Regent's Mansion came in with a boy with tears all over his face, and said in a choked voice, "Marquis Lu...it's gone..."

"This spell is actually real!" There was an uproar in the hall, and the eyes they looked at Li Xi and the dolls on the ground were even more frightened.Some of the timid ones wished they could leave the Juzi Banquet, even the bold ones would inevitably turn pale.

The elders also temporarily lost their ability to speak. Even after experiencing many storms, this is the first time they have seen such a matter related to ghosts and gods. At this moment, it seems that there is no other better way than to take people down for interrogation.

However, these people did not realize that Li Xi, who had been silent since the beginning of his career, looked calm and fearless.And the guards of the Prince Regent's Mansion, who seemed to arrest and guard him, were actually protecting him.

Silence does not represent tranquility but a prediction of a more intense outbreak, as is the case in the palace hall at this moment.The cold and murderous aura was as real as it was, and those people's disgust and contempt for Li Xi had also gathered to the climax, and they could erupt immediately without any fuse.

"What kind of literary giant and scholar, who is rare in a thousand years, is just a despicable scum who is not filial and fraternal!" A person couldn't help but cursed, and soon, more abuse followed.

"Kill him! Cut him to pieces!"

"That's right, keeping such a vicious person is a disaster for the Great Zhou, and everyone will be in danger if they live a second longer!"

The scolding in the hall is getting louder and louder, even the elders are very hesitant in their hearts.

"Heh." A chuckle was very clear in such an atmosphere, and everyone followed the sound to find out that the person who laughed was actually Li Xi.

"You still have the face to laugh out loud after doing such a heartless thing. Aren't you afraid that you will be struck by lightning if you raise your head three feet above the gods?"

"How could it be?" Li Xi raised his eyebrows and glanced at the righteous man, pointed at him and asked back: "You guys who don't have any evidence to follow others' words are not afraid of your tongue being pulled out, I am not ashamed of my heart Worried about God's punishment?"

Qingyue's voice was neither too fast nor too slow, but the sarcasm hidden in it was particularly obvious.The understatement of a sentence scolded all the people inwardly, comparing them to gossips in the market.

However, a prisoner who committed a serious crime and was about to be punished dared to be so arrogant. All the disciples glared at him, and some even burst into anger and couldn't hold back their emotions, opening their mouths to scold.However, before they could yell out loud, they were stopped by the guards of the palace: "The palace is an important place, don't be presumptuous!"

"!" Although the child was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to resist more, and could only stare angrily.

Li Xi didn't take it seriously, as if the anger was not aimed at him, he raised his voice and said to the elders: "Masters, Yun Xi has something to say. I have never done witchcraft. The servant's words are just guesses and have no real evidence. How can they be used to cover the coffin and convict him? Leaving aside other things, there is a lot of trickery in his words. Puppets with needles are the most evil things, and others avoid them. If not, why does he carry it close to his body without any hesitation? Even if it is sincerely explained, it is far-fetched. Even if the guards are not strict, it is difficult for him to fish in troubled waters. Even if he can successfully avoid the servants in the courtyard, how can he avoid the gatehouse at the gate? Even a corner gate of the Hou Mansion has several guards. Could it be that this servant has grown wings and can fly out? As for the third, this servant keeps saying that Lu Weiyao is the right size to support the family, which is even more nonsense! Everyone in the capital knows it. Even if something happens to his father, according to the rules, the family will still be supported by elders. Lu Weiyao is just an outsider, and he is under confinement. Who would dare to make decisions for my Lu family? Wouldn’t it be great? joke!"

Li Xi's words were reasonable and reasonable, although they could not convince everyone, they also weakened some doubts.

"This is a family ugliness, and it should not be publicized. But it has become what it is now, and it involves witchcraft and sorcery. The Lu family always wants to give an explanation to the elders and the current emperor and regent. If this is the case, it is better to invite Jing Zhaoyin, Gather people together for an interrogation. It is up to you to decide which is right and which is wrong!" Seeing that they stopped talking, Li Xi said without waiting for others to respond, and walked to the side table first, picked up a pen and paper, and scattered It is a sincere complaint.

In doing this, Li Xi acted in a clear and bright manner, without any fear.For a moment, everyone couldn't tell whether he used this method to defend himself in a hurry, or if he was really innocent and not afraid of interrogation and investigation.

However, just when everyone was in doubt, someone came in to report.

The one who came this time was not some unknown person, but Jing Zhaoyin who brought the yamen servants to visit in person.

Striding into the front hall, Jing Zhaoyin looked serious, first saluted the adults, and then asked the attendants to go in and greet the regent.Finally, he turned his head and said to Li Xi: "Lu Jieyuan, your elder brother Lu Weiyao just beat the drums to appeal for grievances, suing you for killing your mother and father. The evidence is convincing, please come with me to the government office!"
