Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"So, you were the one back then, and you were the one who did the Dragon Boat Festival?" Li Shu questioned Li Xu.

Li Xu knelt on the ground, but his waist was straight. The enthusiasm in his eyes seemed to dissipate a little. At this moment, he laughed at himself: "Brother Huang, since the incident back then has been exposed, I have nothing to say. But, This time, I only regret that I didn't act more ruthlessly. I know that the emperor will not believe me if I say anything now, but I still want to say that Zhao Er and Tang Jingxiao, I have never done anything."

"Are you still stubborn at this moment?" Li Shu's eyes were mixed with anger and sadness, "If you didn't do it, why did you send the hidden guards to kill Tang Yue?"

Li Xu shut his mouth, took a hard look at Tang Wuyi, then looked at Li Shu and said, "Brother Emperor, can I report this matter alone?"

At this time, Yang Ji who was standing outside suddenly came in and said: "Your Majesty, Dongdu Pavilion heard that the Taoist priest asked to see him, saying that he had made an important discovery."

"Oh? The priest who was with you?" Li Shu asked Tang Wuyi.

Tang Wuyi hesitated for a while, and he rushed back to the capital at night, taking the gold medal that Li Shu gave him, with the intention of allowing Wen Tao to stay safely in Dongdu Pavilion.The investigation of this case revealed that Li Huan's last letter had come to light, Tang Wuyi couldn't think of any reason for Wen Tao to come here.

"Your Majesty, the case has come to light, I'm afraid..."

"Hmph." Before Tang Wuyi finished speaking, Li Xu said, "Don't you dare to listen to what your own people in Dongdu Pavilion found out?"

Li Shu waved his hand and said, "Pass!"

Wen Tao was wearing the uniform of the disciples of the Dongdu Pavilion, a black robe with narrow sleeves, his forehead hair combed up, his brows were picturesque, and his spirit was radiant.Li Shu's eyes rested on him for a while, he seemed a little confused, and finally asked about the case: "What do you want to say?"

Just as Wen Tao was about to speak, a burst of cold light flew over, Tang Wuyi was terrified, before he had time to think, he flew in front of Wen Tao, it turned out to be a hidden weapon, flew out from Li Xu's cuff, and was stabbing Tang Wuyi right now. left shoulder.

"Li Xu, you!" Li Shu pulled out his sword and pointed at Li Xu, "It's just crazy!"

Seeing that he missed Wen Tao, Li Xu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Heaven will not help me hahahahaha." Everyone was wondering, when they suddenly saw him with a fierce look on his face, he stood up suddenly, his sleeves fluttered slightly, and he was planning to shoot at him. Wen Tao shot another hidden weapon.

After all, Li Shu is a martial arts practitioner. He was unprepared when the first concealed weapon was shot, but at this moment he shot it earlier. When he saw Li Xu's cuff vibrate slightly, he directly stabbed the saber at Li Xu, and the blade pierced his chest. , bleeding profusely.

Li Xu looked at Li Shu with a ferocious face but still smiled and said, "Brother Huang, are you going to kill me?"

Li Shu just reacted subconsciously, now seeing Li Xu hit by the sword, the wound is also at a critical point, and he said with grief on his face: "You have committed murder again and again, and you don't know how to repent! Do you have a conscience?"

Li Xu breathed a little weakly and said: "Brother Huang, since I did what I did back then, I have never expected Brother Huang to forgive me. But I have never regretted it." He paused, a smile burst out and said, "That's okay , All the things that happened back then are on my head, the emperor's brother killed his relatives righteously, and when the eldest brother is rehabilitated, all officials will have nothing to say." He began to laugh as he spoke, "Emperor brother is still an emperor through the ages, and his name will go down in history! Hahaha ……Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Xu's laughter was intermittent, filling the Guanzheng Hall like a ghost, until the laughter gradually weakened and finally returned to nothingness.

Only then did Yang Ji go to check and report back: "Your Majesty, King Yan has passed away."

Li Shu was still a little absent-minded, and he paused for a while before asking: "Why does King Yan have a hidden weapon?"

Yang Ji hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave is not effective, and he didn't search the body when he went to Yan Wang's mansion to pass on the news of King Yan."

Li Shu sighed deeply, he really couldn't understand Li Xu's intention to bring a hidden weapon to the palace, he said slowly: "Forget it, he is the prince, you don't want to search him, get up."

Yang Ji got up and asked: "Your Majesty, Pavilion Master Tang is injured, do you want to pass on the imperial physician?"

It was only then that Li Shu remembered that Li Xu's first hidden weapon hit Tang Wuyi, and Wen Tao was checking his wound at the moment, so he hurriedly said, "Quickly tell the imperial physician, Tang Yue, is there any poison in the hidden weapon?"

Wen Tao had already checked it just now, and now he replied: "Return to Your Majesty, it is not poisonous, it is just a flesh injury."

Li Shu felt relieved and said, "That's good."

After a while, a few of Yang Ji's confidants first came up and carried Li Xu's body down, and then the imperial physician came up and bandaged Tang Wuyi's wound.There was a thrilling moment just now, and it was inevitable that several people were a little tired.Tang Wuyi didn't know why Wen Tao came here, but Li Shu was right in front of him now, so it was inconvenient for him to ask him.He didn't understand why Li Xu wanted to attack Wen Tao, he looked at Wen Tao suspiciously, and Wen Tao was also puzzled.Just now when Li Xu was hysterical after being hit by the sword, Wen Tao had been checking Tang Wuyi's injuries from the beginning to the end.He had no doubt that if there was poison in the hidden weapon, Wen Tao would have interrupted the confrontation between Li Shu and Li Xu.

Seeing that Li Shu looked a little distracted, Yang Ji offered eight-treasure tea, and Li Shu drank half a cup in one go, sitting on the dragon chair in Guanzheng Hall, as if he was still thinking about what happened just now.

Not long after, the imperial physician treated Tang Wuyi's wound and retreated, leaving only Li Shu, Yang Ji, Tang Wuyi, and Wen Tao in the hall.

"Okay, what did you find out?" Li Shu stared at Wen Tao. At first he didn't pay much attention to this Dongdu Pavilion attendant, but just now Li Xu tried to murder him again and again. Instead, Tao became curious about what he found.

"Return to Your Majesty, General Tang was not poisoned by King Yan." Wen Tao said calmly.

"What?" Li Shu was dizzy for a while, "Did he kill Jing Xiao?"

"General Tang was poisoned by Mr. Pu," Wen Tao said.

Li Shu looked in disbelief, and he said to Tang Wuyi: "What's going on? Didn't Pu Qiming commit suicide before the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Tang Wuyi naturally trusted Wen Tao with all his heart, but even so, after hearing this, he still looked at Wen Tao with a confused face.

"Mr. Pu had ordered the coffin, shroud, incense candles and other things long before he committed suicide. He calculated the timing and sent the Tang Pavilion master to the capital to get a hand scroll. The last prince's last letter was hidden in the hand scroll."

"I already know this."

Wen Tao nodded and continued: "The day he committed suicide happened to be the day when General Tang routinely returned to the Eastern Capital every month. He passed away suddenly. Someone must preside over the funeral. The master of the Tang Pavilion is still in the capital, and General Tang happens to be in the pavilion. Now that all the funeral objects are ready, General Tang will naturally preside over the funeral as the head of the Tang clan."

"So what?" Li Shu asked.

"Among the funeral objects Mr. Pu prepared were only a pair of joss sticks, which were used on the first night of the vigil. That night, the only person who stayed in the mourning hall in the pavilion was General Tang. A lot of cinnabar. The cinnabar is highly poisonous after forging. Caomin went to check the coffin shop. The boss said that the pair of incense candles did not come from their shop. Mr. Pu ordered them to be placed with his coffin and shroud. Mr. Pu planned Everything, to dismiss Pavilion Master Tang, is to poison General Tang with cinnabar on the first night of General Tang's vigil!"
