Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"Slap!" A burst of loud applause resounded throughout the Guanzheng Hall.

The corner of Li Xu's mouth was bleeding, he touched his swollen half face, and looked at Li Shu in disbelief.But Li Shu seemed to be patient for a long time, and finally burst out a cavity of anger, and the thunder was furious, covering the entire Daming Palace like a tsunami.It's not that Li Xu has never seen an angry Li Shu, but Li Shu's anger has never been directed at him as directly as today. He looked at his brother whom he had looked up to for decades, feeling grievance, grief and incomprehension intertwined. The pressure on his chest made him unable to speak a single word.

Li Shu's palm was extremely powerful. It's not that he didn't know that Li Xu was weak since he was a child, and he had to learn horseback riding and archery for a long time before he could barely master it. No one can match, but today, he can't tolerate it no matter what.In front of all the officials, he endured it, and in front of Tang Wuyi, he endured it again. Now, only he and Li Xu are left in the huge Guanzheng Hall of Daming Palace, he can't bear it anymore.

"Brother Huang..." After a long time, Li Xu finally calmed down and called out softly.

Li Shu turned around without looking at him, and snorted heavily.

Li Xu was a little confused, and asked, "Brother Huang, why are you doing this?"

Li Shu was just panting heavily with his back turned to him, but when he heard this, he became angry from his heart, turned around and pointed at Li Xu and scolded, "You are here to ask me now? Why didn't you want to ask me when you killed Tang Jingxiao? "

Only then did Li Xu understand why Li Shu was so furious, he knelt on his knees and said, "Brother Huang, I don't have any."

"You don't?" Li Shu pointed at him, "It's not a day or two since you've been afraid of Tang Jingxiao. He didn't let go of the strategy in his heart, he wanted Qiu Jian to take the position at that time, but I didn't follow you, you actually ordered a killer and killed him at my Dragon Boat Festival!"

"My brother was wronged!" Li Xu looked at Li Shu, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, "My brother didn't kill him."

"Hmph!" Li Shu stared at him and said, "Do you have any fear of Tang Jingxiao?"

Li Xu gritted his teeth, nodded, but hastily explained: "But my brother never thought of killing him."

"Last year when Tang Jingxiao confronted Li Guangxing single-handedly in Shaolin Temple, you became murderous when Li Guangxing was used as a sword in the chest. In the past, you tolerated him because you thought he was just a titan with no plans. Later, you gradually found out that he had his own self in his chest. With hills and ravines, and the support of half of the former Tiance Army of the Shence Army, there is no room for him!" Li Shu's eyes were burning, as if he would swallow Li Xu in the next second.

Li Xu's chest heaved, his brother knew him too well, every sentence hit his mind, but just like this, it was hard for him to refute.That's right, everything Li Shu said was correct, he was not afraid of Tang Jingxiao for a day or two, and after the Shaolin Temple incident, he was even more murderous, so at this time, he couldn't argue with it.

Li Shu continued: "Aside from you, who else can kill people in front of all officials in my Linde Hall?"

"Brother Huang, it is precisely because I am in Linde Palace, in front of all the officials, that I don't need to do anything." Li Xu suddenly grasped the reason to defend himself, "That's right, I am afraid of Tang Jingxiao. My younger brother also admitted that he had murderous intentions, but everyone knows that the Dragon Boat Festival is organized by the younger brother, and the seats of all the officials are arranged by the younger brother. Yes, it is very easy for the younger brother to kill him at the Dragon Boat Festival, but the younger brother Why did you choose such an occasion where people would be suspicious?"

Li Shu frowned upon hearing this, but still didn't believe it.He knows his third younger brother very well, and he has been the one with the most eyes since he was a child. When he was a child, he accidentally broke his father's favorite pen holder in the imperial study. On the body, the little eunuch was immediately pulled out of the stick and killed. He was secretly happy that he had escaped, but he also remembered Li Xu's crooked brows and eyes, harmless to humans and animals but hiding countless schemes.

Li Xu looked at Li Shu's expression, knowing that he still didn't believe it, a sense of sadness surged in his heart, and there was a bit of crying in his voice: "Brother Emperor, I was really wronged."

Li Shu looked at him, his face was like a crown of jade, and his pair of azure phoenix eyes were very kind.It's not that he doesn't know that Li Xu has done a lot of unspeakable things, including supporting Yunshangfang to monitor the movements of officials and various places, but when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He needs someone to do these things, but he never allows him Crossing the line, especially some of the military branded things that are deeply rooted in his bones.

Li Xu doesn't know his brother Huang well. He knew Li Shu still didn't believe him when he saw his expression, so he said loudly: "Brother Huang, if I haven't done this matter, I just haven't done it. I'm not afraid of people coming to investigate." .”

"Hmph!" Li Shu said, "Both the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple are under your command, so how could they find you?"

Li Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Huang is not afraid even if he asks Dongdu Pavilion to check on my younger brother."

Hearing this, Li Shu's suspicion towards Li Xu was finally shaken.Asking Dongdu Pavilion to investigate is to ask Tang Wuyi to investigate. Tang Wuyi is Tang Jingxiao's brother-in-law. Judging from his expression just now, he will never let it go. Tang Wuyi has a good reputation for investigating cases. Surely, I would never say such a thing.Of course, it is possible that Li Xu really did not kill Tang Jingxiao, or he is confident that Tang Wuyi will never find out.

Seeing that Li Shu was still hesitating, Li Xu continued: "Brother Huang, I didn't kill anyone. At today's Dragon Boat Festival, it was Qiu Jian first, and then Tang Jingxiao. Someone was able to frame Qiu Jian and kill Tang Jingxiao under the noses of Brother Huang and my younger brother." I know that my brother still has doubts about my brother, but if this matter is really not done by my brother, how does my brother plan to deal with it?"

Li Shu frowned when he heard this. It is not appropriate to make this matter public, especially the death of Tang Jingxiao is related to the stability of the Shence Army, so he can only report his death. But if Li Xu really did not do it, then this The matter must be investigated, and the truth must be found out.He stared at Li Xu and said, "It's really not you?"

Li Xu kowtowed: "No."

"Then, I will really ask Tang Wuyi to investigate." Li Shu stared at him tentatively.

"It's all up to Brother Huang to decide." Li Xu replied loudly.

Seeing his upright attitude, Li Shu believed him a little bit, so he said: "I have appointed him as the special envoy of Dali Temple, and I will order him to investigate Tang Aiqing's case when he enters the palace tomorrow. Those who are not on the stage stop beforehand to avoid suspicion, and if Tang Wuyi finds out about you, he will do his best to cooperate."

Li Xu hurriedly said: "Your brother obeys the order."

Outside the Guanzheng Hall, dark clouds covered the sun, and a few jackdaws flew by, leaving mottled black shadows on the palace wall.
