Tibet

Chapter 97 A glimmer of hope

Li Ye reacted quickly, fell backwards, bent his waist at ninety degrees, and stabbed the air with his long sword. Li Ye then somersaulted and rolled a foot away, drew the sword in his hand, and shouted: "Who is he? "

At this time, he suddenly heard Li Dai shouting: "Wait a minute, girl, he seems to be my son!"

Li Ye was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Father, are you okay?"

Li Dai sighed, "Girl, this is my son, let him come over!"

The cold light disappeared in a flash, and someone shouted: "Come here!"

It was indeed a woman's voice. Li Ye understood clearly in his heart that this should be the female swordsman protecting his father. There seemed to be three black shadows. Could it be that his grandfather had a premonition that his father was in danger and sent him to protect him?

Li Ye also sheathed his sword, stepped forward and asked, "Father, where are you?"

"I'm here!" Li Dai's excited voice came from the black hole.

He held his son's hand and said, "Did my grandfather ask you to come visit me?"

"yes!"

Li Dai sighed, "I fell into their illusion. I said a lot of things I shouldn't have said, and I even pressed my fingerprints on it. I don't even know what I said? I'm afraid it's not good for your grandfather."

Li Ye sighed secretly, his father was indeed under an illusion.

"I just went to see Gao Weng, and he told me that my father did everything. It was my grandfather who arranged for you to cooperate with Yang Shenjin to destroy the evidence of the national treasury deficit."

"Nonsense! I didn't, there's no such thing!" Li Dai shouted in fear.

He suddenly took his son's hand and cried: "Go back and tell your grandfather that you won't frame your father even if you beat me to death!"

Li Ye's nose felt a little sore, and he quickly comforted him: "Father, don't worry, I know you have been under an illusion, and I was worried that they would kill you to silence you, so I came here in a hurry."

"They wanted to kill me and silence me. Thanks to these three girls, they arrived in time, killed those bastards and saved my life!"

Li Ye bowed to the three people in the darkness and said, "Thank you three girls for saving my father's life. Who are you?"

A woman in the lead said: "We were sent by Master to protect your father!"

"Your master is..."

"You should have seen it."

Li Ye had a thought in his mind and blurted out, "Lie Feng!"

The leading woman nodded, "My master said that there is sorcery in the Daming Palace, and she is fully responsible!"

Li Ye finally saw hope, and Lie Feng took action, which brought another turn to the case that was almost difficult to overturn.

He quickly said to his father: "Father, don't worry, my grandfather has come back. He will make a representation to the emperor and will definitely clear his father's innocence."

"But... they want to kill me. I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to die inexplicably. I'm even more afraid that if I die, my father and family will be harmed, especially you mother and son. I'm very afraid of harming you!"

Li Ye gradually got to know this father. Although he was cowardly and weak, he was indeed kind-hearted and kind-hearted. At this time, he was still worried about hurting himself and his mother.

"Don't worry, father! My grandfather is still in power, and he can handle this case well. Besides, if anything happens, I will take my mother and run away, and I will never be implicated!"

The leading woman next to him said: "Li Shijun, don't worry about assassination. One of our sisters has already gone to report to the master. The master will advise the emperor to change the place. As long as we are here, even sorcery will be useless."

Li Ye was also anxious to find Gao Lishi and tell him that someone had assassinated his father and there was something wrong with the interrogation report.

"Father, do you know the truth?"

Li Dai sighed: "I know nothing!"

"Okay! I'm going to tell my grandfather that my father is safe and sound now!"

"Watch yourself!"

Li Ye bowed to the three women in the darkness, turned around and left quickly.

Li Ye was not embarrassed by the jailer and quickly returned to the ground, where Gao Fu was still waiting for him.

"Is your father okay?"

Li Ye said in a deep voice: "I'm going to see Gao Weng and report to him any important information!"

Gao Fu shook his head, "Gao Weng just sent someone to inform you that he has entered the palace, so that you don't have to look for him anymore. He knows everything you want to say."

Li Ye stopped his grandfather Li Linfu who was returning to Chang'an City in front of Chunming Gate and reported to him the latest situation.

What Li Linfu learned about the situation was also very fragmentary. Only from his grandson did he learn the details of what happened.

When Li Linfu heard that his son had confessed to the crime, he was so angry that he punched the car window. Now he was in big trouble.

The emperor just wants to mess with himself, so isn't that a good enough reason for his own son to confess?

"Grandpa, things are not desperate yet, there is still room for recovery, Gao Lishi."

Before Li Ye could finish speaking, Li Linfu waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't expect Gao Lishi to help us. He is standing on the emperor's side. He can tell you the detailed events, which is already giving you face. If the emperor doesn’t relent, it’s useless for anyone to intercede.”

"What about Lie Feng? She actually came forward to protect my father's safety. If it weren't for her, my father would have been silenced."

Li Linfu pondered for a while and said: "Liefeng is a little strange. After the death of the Supreme Emperor, she and Feilong stopped asking about government affairs. This time she actually took action, which I can't understand. But the most she can do is protect your father's safety and cannot change it. Big picture.”

"But she can prove that the other party used sorcery!"

Li Linfu smiled bitterly and said: "Illusion, alchemy, witchcraft, and immortality are all the same thing. They have different names depending on the person. It just so happens that today I like illusion the most. To say he is angry is just pretending."

Seeing that his grandfather was almost losing confidence, Li Ye decided to use his trump card.

"Grandpa, the biggest problem now is that the Yang family is not ready yet. My grandson believes that his father was framed this time because someone shot a cold arrow at his grandfather from behind, but it has nothing to do with the emperor. That's why Gao Lishi helped me go to see his father. If it is really the emperor deployment, then Gao Lishi will never give me the slightest chance."

The knot that Li Linfu was most worried about was slowly solved by his grandson. It wasn't that he couldn't see it. With how old and cunning he was, how could he not understand?

It's just that Li Linfu is obsessed with the authorities and has always been worried that the emperor will attack him, so he will think about the worst, which is not as clear as Li Ye, a bystander.

Li Linfu nodded, "You are right. The emperor wants to replace me with Yang Guozhong, but he is not ready yet. This time the emperor's target should be Yang Shenjin, not me."

Li Linfu sighed, "I'm very upset right now, what do you think I should do?"

"As my grandson said before, my father's grievances must be cleared, and he must be tried again. That confession cannot be used again. Liefeng came to help this time, and my grandfather insisted in front of the emperor that his father was under an illusion and someone was trying to kill him. If we silence ourselves and beg the emperor to give us another chance for a retrial, then we will have hope for a comeback.

Now the emperor is hesitant. As long as his grandfather stands firm, Gao Lishi will also persuade the emperor. The key is that his grandfather must stand firm. How could he send his own son to do such a thing of digging his own grave? "

Li Linfu nodded, "I will listen to you this time and persuade the emperor to try again!"

In the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Li Longji read the preliminary report with an expressionless face.

Li Longji is sixty-five years old this year, but he takes very good care of himself. There is no wrinkle on his face and he looks like he is in his early fifties.

His slender eyes shone with shrewdness and doubt. It was indeed beyond his expectation that Li Dai confessed so quickly and signed his signature.

What this means is that Li Linfu's whole family will be imprisoned and executed.

Li Longji put down the report, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and stared out the window for a long time. This was not what he wanted. He just wanted to hit a rabbit, and did not want to kill the wolf behind the rabbit.

He just wanted to warn Li Linfu.

After a long while, he turned around and said slowly: "Liefeng said that someone used witchcraft last night. Did the Punishment Department find out?"

Gao Lishi bowed and said, "Reporting to your majesty, officials from the Ministry of Punishment found a paper dragon under Li Dai's desk, with many talismans on it."

"So, it's Li Dai who knows alchemy? What is his origin?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, he was born in Ming Jingke in the 22nd year of Kaiyuan. He has been serving as a military officer in Qianniuwei. Three days ago, he was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue as a member of the Treasury Department. The clerical warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue is within his scope of authority. "

"Only three days?"

Li Longji turned around and said: "Even if a little thief steals something, it will take a month to check the site! How can he set fire to the Ministry of Finance in just three days after taking office?"

"Reporting to your majesty, there is something fishy about this. For example, the witchcraft that Lie Feng mentioned. It is true that many soldiers saw a fire dragon running into the warehouse and causing a fire. But Li Dai is just a scholar. I have never heard that he knows any alchemy. So, Where is the person who performed the magic? So I think this case has only been half tried."

Li Longji nodded, "Is there any news about Li Linfu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch reported outside the door, "Your Majesty, your right minister Li Linfu wants to see you!"
