Tibet

At noon, Liu Wutong woke up again, and Li Ye and Peng Haiyan rushed to his bed.

Liu Wutong was very weak and his voice was small, but his thoughts were clear.

He said to Li Ye: "Captain Li brought me back from the gate of hell, I..."

Li Ye waved his hand to stop his laughter and said, "No need to say more, I have one more thing to ask you."

Liu Wutong nodded slightly, and Li Ye took out the scene drawing drawn by Yang Shun and asked, "Is this scene correct?"

Liu Wutong looked carefully and saw that everyone had a name written on their head. He pointed at the person holding his left hand and whispered: "This man is not Lao Zhao, but Yang Shun. Lao Zhao was originally there. He was ordered to get the silver and wooden cage. Yang stepped forward to take his place.”

Li Ye and Peng Haiyan looked at each other, and both of them had a look of understanding in their eyes. As expected, Yang Shun had deceived them in the most crucial part.

Liu Wutong's wife gave her husband some water and raised the pillow for him. Liu Wutong felt better.

Liu Wutong took a breath and added: "He failed to hold down his left hand for a moment and let go. I later realized that the assassin took advantage of that opportunity to take poison!"

"Ah!" Peng Haiyan exclaimed. He suddenly discovered the flaw in his thinking. The assassin could not only move his head but also his hands after taking the poison.

Li Ye frowned and said, "His arm has supernatural power, so he may not be able to hold it down!"

Liu Wutong smiled bitterly and said: "I thought so too at the time, so I didn't blame him."

Peng Haiyan shook his head, "That's not the case. Zeng Honger is nicknamed the one-armed prodigy. He is a strange man. He only has the power of his right arm, and his left arm is as strong as a child."

Liu Wutong closed his eyes and sighed softly: "I later understood that he had deliberately let go. It turned out that he was an insider. No wonder he wanted to assassinate me."

"Are you sure it was him who assassinated you?"

Liu Wutong said coldly: "That's him, I'm too familiar with him."

At this time, Li Ye had completely understood, and the logic was very clear.

Yang Shun originally thought that everything was safe. He was a small person and would not be traced to him, but he asked him to draw a scene map. Yang Shun realized that he was about to be exposed, so he misled himself and everyone with the wrong location, and planted the suspicion. Liu Wutong's head.

Yang Shun was also afraid that Liu Wutong would come looking for his wife and children, and he would be exposed at that time, so he ambush Liu Wutong at night to silence him. However, the assassination failed, and he could only flee in a hurry.

Li Ye nodded, "He has escaped, where will he go?"

Liu Wutong pondered for a moment and said, "It's probably Luoyang. He only has one relative, his uncle is in Luoyang."

At this time, a soldier walked in and whispered a few words in Li Ye's ear. Li Ye nodded and told Liu Wutong to have a good rest. He and Peng Haiyan walked out.

Zhang Ping came. When he saw Li Ye, he sighed and said, "We found traces of that thief Yang Shun. It's probably difficult to track him down."

"where is he?"

"I have a brother who is standing guard in the east city. He knows Yang Shun. He said that just as the city gate opened, Yang rode out of the city and headed east. He walked in a hurry and didn't even say hello."

Zhang Ping said with a guilty look on his face: "I like to talk about loyalty. This Yang Shun has been studying martial arts in our martial arts school for a year, so I regard him as my disciple. How could I know that?"

Li Ye patted his arm and said, "Yang Shun did help me a lot. He stole the note for me. I'm very grateful to him privately. The crime is a business matter now and has nothing to do with private matters, so you don't have to blame yourself."

Zhang Ping smiled and said, "When you say this, I seem to feel better again."

"That's right! Public is public, private is private. That Zhang Bian is not a good person. I'm still happy if he is dead. It's best to kill Zhang Jun together."

Zhang Ping nodded, "I understand, brother, there is no need to comfort me, I know this matter well."

Li Ye asked him again: "Be careful yourself. The current situation is very chaotic recently. The assassination of the consort may be just the beginning. I feel that someone will attack the Wang family. You must be extra careful. Don't do anything if anyone invites you to go out alone." Xin, if anything happens, tell me in time."

Zhang Ping nodded silently, "I understand!"

After Zhang Ping left, Peng Haiyan said to Li Ye: "I am responsible for the Henan Road case. I can find Yang Shun's uncle through the channels in Dali Temple and intercept Yang Shun there."

Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Should we send someone to Luoyang?"

"No, I will directly use the flying pigeon to send the message to the agency in Dali Temple in Luoyang. There is one of my subordinates over there."

"Okay! I'll ask Liu Wutong later about the specific situation of Uncle Yang Shun."

"I'll ask him later."

Li Ye added: "There is also the assassin Zeng Honger. Who recruited him? This is crucial. Maybe the murderer will emerge."

"The humble post has arranged for Wang Feng to investigate!"

Peng Haiyan left in a hurry.

At this time, the housekeeper of Li Ye's family came and told Li Ye the news that Fang Guan, the Minister of Punishment, came to visit him and was waiting in the house.

When Li Ye returned to the mansion, Fang Guan was drinking tea and waiting in the guest hall. He immediately walked into the living room and said apologetically: "I've kept the chambermaid waiting for a long time."

Fang Guan stood up and saluted: "I have something to trouble Governor Li."

"Please sit down!"

The two of them took their seats respectively. Fang Guan smiled bitterly and said, "As for the assassination of the consort, I just found out that Governor Li was also involved in the investigation."

"Who told the chamberlain?"

"What Gao Weng said was that the imperial concubine suggested it."

Li Ye smiled and said: "Mr. Gao just saw that I was bored and found something for me to do. In fact, I was just investigating for fun. You are the real investigators."

Fang Guan sneered and said, "In that case, please ask Governor Li to hand over Liu Wutong to us!"

Li Ye shook his head, "Why would the Minister of Housing think that Liu Wutong is in my hands?"

"Didn't the governor snatch away his family members?"

Li Ye looked confused, "Who told the Minister of Housing that Liu Wutong's family is in my hands?"

"Yesterday morning, a group of people from Dali Temple took away Liu Wutong's family members."

Li Ye spread his hands and said, "Then the Chamberlain should go to Ji Wen or Shaoqing Cheng Xiao. What does it have to do with me?"

Fang Guan hesitated and said: "I have already contacted Jisi Qing this morning. He admitted that he also sent Peng Haiyan, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, to investigate the assassins. But Peng Haiyan was with me at the Prince Consort's Mansion yesterday morning, and the group claimed to be Dali Temple." Si Cheng Wang Junbai, I specifically asked Shaoqing Cheng Xiao, and he confirmed that Dali Temple Si Wang Junbai is still handling the case in Yanzhou, so the group of Dali Temple officials yesterday were fake."

Li Ye stared at Fang Guan with sharp eyes, "Could it be that Fang Shilang suspected that I was pretending to be the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, Junbai?"

Fang Guan also realized that his attitude was not right, and quickly softened his tone and said: "Liu Wutong is the key to the entire case. We suspect that he is the assassin's insider. If we find this person, we will have clues to this case."

"Why did the Minister of Housing think that Liu Wutong was an insider?"

"I can't tell you the details. I can only tell Governor Li that the assassin committed suicide by poisoning and he had something to do with it."

Li Ye said calmly: "I am indeed investigating this case, but I don't think Liu Wutong is an inside agent. He is often with the consort. If he is the other party's person, he will kill the consort with one knife. Why do you need an assassin? Besides, he If it was an internal agent, he should have moved his family members long ago. Isn't he afraid that the other party will kill people and silence them?"

Obviously Li Ye's words touched Fang Guan. It has to be said that Li Ye's words have some truth, but if Liu Wutong hadn't let him go, how could the assassin commit suicide by taking poison?

Fang Guan sighed and said: "It is also possible that the mastermind behind the incident pretended to be an official of Dali Temple and snatched Liu Wutong's family away. This is because the Yushitai failed in its duty and failed to control Liu Wutong's family in time."

Li Ye nodded, "If Liu Wutong is really an insider, then his family must have been picked up by the real murderer, who used his family as hostages to force Liu Wutong out, and then killed him to silence him."

Seeing that he was still deep in thought, Li Ye smiled and said: "If Liu Wutong is an internal agent and is in my hands, then I can quickly find the real culprit and report it to the emperor. This case will be over. Mr. Fang Is that right?"
