Queen's Detective

Li Yan has always felt that there is no road in this world that he cannot walk.

A Buddha walking on a bloody road may be awakening the world's compassion.

A demon walking on a bloody road may be a sea of ​​evil.

It is difficult for Li Yan to find a definition for himself, because he often acts according to his whim, and his mood changes all the time.But there is only one thing he knows very clearly, he wants to go to the other end of the road.

So he went.

As for what to encounter on the way, whether it is worthwhile to do so is not within the scope of his consideration.

But seeing the same scenery many times is also a very boring thing. After all, not everyone like Yan Sanbai never gets tired of watching it.And these people who persevered in killing him didn't even cover their faces, which hurt his eyes.

He couldn't wait to see Yan Sanbai even more.

Looking at his master in fresh clothes and angry horse beside him, Ling Ding felt a rare feeling of admiration for him - after all, not everyone can handle a long knife taller than a person so handsomely.

It's just that these people are too annoying.Lone Ding's complexion couldn't help but darken, and his hand holding the sword tightened a bit.

On the other hand, waiting can be frustrating, especially for those who don't want to wait a moment.

"Lord Yan, the King of Luoyang has not arrived yet, so let's not wait, shall we start first?"

"Maybe he was delayed by something on the road, and you all know that some roads are not easy to walk." Yan Sanbai calmly said, "Is Mr. Chen in a hurry? Oh, yes, Mr. Chen is very happy to have a son, so he should be in a hurry .”

"This... this, Master Yan was joking, there is no rush to be dismissed, no hurry." Master Chen was secretly startled, lowered his head and retreated.

The rest of the people who were about to speak were suddenly silent when they saw Mr. Chen's reaction.An Guogong on the opposite side glanced at him sharply. His daughter married this surnamed Chen, but she has not yet conceived.Happy to have a son, hum, I don't know where it came from.

Yan Sanbai could break Master Chen's secret in one go, but of course it is also possible to break someone else's.The effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger was very good, and the audience waited in silence for a while, but the silence will not last forever.

Sitting at the top of the left is the gray-haired Zuo Xiang. Because of his advanced age and poor health, he doesn't often go up to court.But this person is highly respected in the ruling and opposition parties, and even Su Shihui gave him three points.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Luoyang may have been delayed on the way, but now half an hour has passed, and all colleagues still have business to do, shall we continue?"

The emperor thought for a while, then nodded, "Guan Aiqing, you can continue."

"Yes." Guan Qing nodded and turned around, "Bring Mrs. Xie up."

Yan Sanbai knew that he couldn't procrastinate, but he didn't know what happened to Guan Qingci, maybe... he knew something?

Mrs. Xie was quickly brought up, and this time she no longer kept silent, and said everything she knew with anger in her heart.The content was not much different from what was circulated outside, that is, King Li stood by and indirectly caused the deaths of the people of Hongheling.

However, because he had known it for a long time, his words did not cause much trouble.

Yan Sanbai did not return to the emperor, looked at her, and said: "Can you guarantee that what you said is the truth?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie raised her head in embarrassment, staring at him with fixed eyes, "You suspect that I am a false witness? Don't you want to let the Hongheling matter be revealed to the world? Or are you just a person who is just trying to gain fame and not distinguish between black and white? !"

Xie was so excited that he almost spat on Yan Sanbai's face.But Yan Sanbai didn't frown, nor backed away, "Because we want to reveal the truth to the world, some questions must be asked. I'll ask you again, how can you be sure that what you said is the truth?"

Probably because Yan Sanbai's attitude was very sincere, Xie calmed down a little, she didn't dare to look up at the emperor sitting in the front, she clenched her hands tightly and said: "Yes, I'm sure."

"Why?"

"Because it was the dark guard who told me the news, don't they know the truth of the year?"

Hearing the word 'dark guard', everyone's expressions finally changed.

Yan Sanbai asked again: "Do you know that Amu who was beaten to death is also related to the hidden guard?"

There was a gloomy look in Xie's eyes, and he couldn't help but said: "He is a descendant of the dark guard, and he deserves to die."

"So, do you admit that Amu's death is related to you?" Yan San raised his head leisurely and glanced around, "Everyone, Mrs. Xie is a witness and a sinner. Young Master Fang was poisoned to death a few days ago. The case can be closed."

When Fang Hua heard this, he became anxious. Although it was his son who died, he really wanted to catch the murderer, but he didn't want to reveal that the murderer was Fang Hua's woman in front of everyone!To put it bluntly, the purpose of the murderer is to kill the prince!How could the Fang family bear this crime!

He secretly wiped off his sweat, "Here, Mr. Yan, aren't we trying the Hongheling case? This matter can be postponed..."

"Fang Shangshu doesn't want to avenge the young master as soon as possible?"

Fang Hua was really suffering and couldn't tell, "Of course I wanted to."

At this time, the emperor spoke at the right time, "Then hero Yan, please tell me in detail, let me listen carefully, why did she murder my son."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Sanbai pushed the boat smoothly, and naturally no one else dared to object, "Actually, the reason why I brought up this case at this time is because it is closely related to the Hongheling case. The Xie family is very concerned about the Hongheling case. The court resented the royal family, and then..."

Yan Sanbai spoke slowly, this narration would naturally take some time.Guan Qingci knew that Yan Sanbai was delaying time for Li Yan, but he didn't stop it.

He no longer believed in Li Yan, but he was still willing to believe in Yan Sanbai.It was a gut feeling, a terrible gut feeling.

He carefully observed the reactions in the room. Some people quietly clenched their hands hidden in their sleeves, some had wandering eyes, and some had gloomy faces. Different reactions represented different hearts. Once the Hongheling case came out, the situation in the court suddenly changed. The outside is clear.

But this is not what Guan Qingci cares about, he just wants to know the truth, that's all.

"...Your Majesty, the whole thing is like this. Although the Xie family is evil because of evil, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Young Master Fang are completely innocent people. This crime cannot be avoided."

"Just do as you said, beheaded at the end of the autumn." As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Fan Zhengchun immediately winked at the subordinates at the door, telling them to take Mrs. Xie away quickly.

Mrs. Xie probably expected this moment and didn't struggle, but before being dragged out of the door, she suddenly raised her head, her red eyes swept across the emperor, staring at Yan Sanbai, "Master Yan! Please help me!" I, Hongheling, reverse the case! I beg you, Qin Yan’s remnant army could not have killed so many people, Li Jie must be an accomplice! Li’s family is not doing well—oh!”

The voice was so shrill that it hurt people's ears, and it was as if their hearts were being grabbed by a pair of bone claws.The people next to her hurriedly covered her mouth and dragged her away as quickly as possible, but her bloodshot eyes kept staring at Yan Sanbai, with tears streaming down her face.

She knew that this was her last chance, she was the most favored wife of the Shangshu Mansion, she could have lived a carefree life, but she couldn't.The past haunted her like a nightmare, the more she lived at the foot of the imperial city, the more difficult it was for her to be at peace.

She never had any hope for the Emperor's family, but she felt that the white-clothed detective in front of her was trustworthy.

The emperor on the first seat slumped, and Xie's words were like a slap in the face, slapping the royal family hard in the face.No matter how benevolent the emperor is, he will not be in a good mood at the moment.

All the officials also calmed down, everyone's eyes were on Yan Sanbai, and all the conflicts were focused on him——what will the detective who Xie put his last hope on do?

However, everyone found that they didn't find a trace of nervousness or fear in Yan Sanbai.

He knew what he was doing and what he should do.

Li Yan hasn't come yet, so he will come.

Taking a deep breath, stretching his brows and eyes, Yan Sanbai cupped his hands, and there was a refreshing breeze in his gestures, "Your Majesty, my lords, the Hongheling case..."

However, he had just begun to speak when a frivolous and clear voice suddenly came from the door, "Why didn't you wait for me?"

He turned around, and the rest of the people also followed the prestige, and saw a person walking in with the light behind him, that eye-catching red clothes, familiar tone of voice, who is it not the King of Luoyang who came late?

Their eyes met, Yan Sanbai and Li Yan looked at each other and smiled.

However, the others frowned. After seeing Li Yan's state clearly, they were impatiently surprised, "My lord, this is..."

"Oh," Li Yan walked in casually, took a white handkerchief from Yan Sanbai, wiped the blood on his hands and face, and said nonchalantly, "A few more people came to kill me on the road. Mine, no problem."

The King of Luoyang is a true warrior, the red on his body is as flamboyant as the blood.

Guan Qingci couldn't help frowning, Li Yan glanced at him, then turned to look at Yan Sanbai, "Where did the matter go?"

"Just flipped through the opening chapter."

Li Yan nodded, "Master Guan, please invite Zheng Yong and the others to come up."

The people were brought quickly, and more than a dozen people were lined up below.

"What advice does your lord have?" Guan Qingci stood in front of the dozen or so people, his defense was quite obvious.

"I don't dare to be a teacher. The reason you all gathered today is to return the truth to Hongheling. Lord Guan, it seems that you... already know everything, right?"

Guan Qingci's eyes were slightly cold, Li Yan had just arrived, how did he know that he already knew?Sure enough, he didn't have any good intentions?

Unexpectedly, Li Yan made a gesture of invitation, "Since you already know, then tell me, my lord, listen."

Guan Qing paused for a moment, and stared directly at Li Yan with cold eyes, as if to see something from him.

Su Shihui was thinking secretly, but his expression suddenly changed, he stood up abruptly, "My lord!"

Li Yan raised one hand, shook his head, and the smile on his lips seemed to be his unchanging symbol, "General Su, everything is ups and downs, and everything is empty, this king has come here, you should understand my determination .No one can easily kill me, and no one can easily change my decision. I have never forgotten your worries, but this is this, and that is that, and they cannot be confused."

As he said that, he looked at Guan Qingci again, his eyes were as dark as the night, but there seemed to be stars shining, "Please, Mr. Guan."

If suffering must come, then Li Yan chooses to face it soberly.

In Hongheling many years ago, the flames of war have not yet spread to this paradise hidden among the green mountains and green waters.The peace was not broken until a badly wounded general fled here with his troops.

The kind-hearted villagers didn't think about whether he had committed a heinous crime or not, and took in these remnants and defeated generals out of goodwill.Soon, however, the pursuers came.Honghe Ridge is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In order to survive, Qin Yan threatened the people in the area of ​​Honghe Ridge and ordered them to retreat more than ten miles, leaving them a chance to escape.

So far, everything has been as rumored.

the difference is--

How could the red-eyed Li Jie tolerate this kind of threat? He didn't stand on the sidelines, but ordered an attack, allowing the whole army to attack Honghe Ridge at night after resting for less than an hour.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking out of the siege, the former army began to kill like crazy.The people in Hongheling saw that the person who was rescued by him one moment raised his butcher knife the next moment, they all screamed and fled, desperately asking for help from the attacking rebel army.

However, what they didn't expect was that more horrible and cruel things were yet to come.

Those insurgents who were under the banner of justice even raised their butcher knives at them.All of a sudden, there were killing sounds and wailing everywhere, and one after another fell down, staring at the sky with their huge eyes open, dying with regret.

And they will probably never think that the reason why they will die is just because-only the dead can keep secrets.

Li Jie didn't trust anyone. Since the people here saw the fact that he would not save him, he would kill more people to keep this secret.

At that time, it was the dark guard who was responsible for clearing Honghe Ridge.

What Xie said is not wrong, Qin Yan can't kill many people at all, the biggest murderer is Li Wang Li Jia who is regarded as the savior.

The truth is always too tragic, it is ugly, dark, knowing, sometimes more painful than not knowing.

At least this is the case for the dozen or so survivors of Honghe Ridge. Some people slumped on the ground and kept asking why, but the real murderer was already dead, and only his son remained.

So all the accusations and questioning all fell on him.

There was silence here, only voices of questioning and pain flowed, Su Shihui's eyes also had a deep sadness, he looked at Li Yan, and suddenly felt powerless.

Is this what you want?Prince.

What are you doing?

"What do you have to say?" Guan Qingci's voice became low and dry, and he was waiting for Li Yan's answer.

Li Yan pursed his lips and did not answer, but when Guan Qingci frowned slightly, he suddenly made a movement that shocked the audience.

Li Yan lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down very calmly.Although he was kneeling, his back was as straight as a green pine. His eyes were firm and his tone was steady, "The truth is true. The Hongheling case was my father's fault. The merits and demerits cannot be offset, and I don't want to shirk it. Father's debt is paid by the son." , This kneeling represents my sincerity."

Everyone was stunned, Su Shihui stood up abruptly, even the emperor who had already passed the Qi did not expect that Li Yan would really do this.

In front of all civil and military officials, as if in front of the whole world, he shouldered the responsibility of this crime. This courage, this responsibility, is shocking.

The ten or so people were also shocked, unable to speak for a long time, and the mood that was about to explode just now seemed to be relieved a lot by this heavy kneeling.

This is the King of Luoyang. If he is unwilling, who in this world can force him to kneel?

But Li Yan's idea is actually very simple. When he talked about this decision with Yan Sanbai and persuaded him, he once said this-"Kneeling is not necessarily a humiliation. A person standing is not necessarily inferior to kneeling." People who are more dignified are more dignified. Anyway, I am still me, even if I am kneeling and the sky is falling, I can still stand up."

Li Yan continued: "The letter of guilt will be posted by the government soon, and all compensation will be borne by the Luoyang Palace. It doesn't matter if you forgive me or hate me, it's just that my life is still useful, but I can't give it to you. .”

The matter has come to this point, and the rest of the people have nothing to say.They did not expect Li Jie's son to be such a person, so sincere and open.

What's more, they discovered that this case was beyond trial, and all the conspiracies and tricks would be invisible in the face of this openness.
