Lone Grass Gap

When Lord Luo came back with someone carrying a box, the last trace of blood on Li Ji's face faded.

"King Ji, this was found from your study. You should have the key?" Lord Luo asked.

"I..." Li Ji was at a loss for words.

Looking at the situation, Sheng Yekun knew that it was irreparable, so he said, "King Ji, you should be strict with resistance and lenient with confession. You should understand this truth."

Li Ji was powerless to refute, so he could only open the lock stiffly like a puppet.

Inside the box was a dress that was exactly the same as the dragon robe that was searched from Fan Hua's room, and a package that was wrapped in several layers. After Lord Luo opened it, Fan Hua stepped forward to take a look. The parcels are all ruoye roots that have not been ground into powder.

Now Li Ji really panicked: "No, no! Someone framed me, how could there be a dragon robe in the box? I didn't let it go, I only let Ruoyegen go, not the clothes!"

Master Luo yelled: "King Ji, there are all personal and material evidence, do you still want to deny it?" After speaking, he turned his eyes to Li Ji's imperial physician, and said coldly: "You are an accomplice, if you want to avoid heavy punishment, you Better make it all clear!"

Knowing that the situation was irreversible, the imperial doctor burst into tears and fell to the ground: "Your Highness, Lord Luo, I was forced! The young master arranged for me to feed the master Ruoyegen in the butler. After the decoction, I went in for a diagnosis, and then said that the master had taken a cold medicine, which made his condition worse, so as to plant the crime on Dr. Fan. I refused the young master at first, but the young master found my family and used them Threatening me, if I don't do this, then my family will end badly, I was forced to do it, I was forced to do it!"

Li Ji listened to everything he said with a livid face, while Master Luo continued to ask: "Then what does this dragon robe have to do with King Qing's serious illness?"

"My lord, I really don't know about this. I just guessed that the young master had a feud with King Yue and Doctor Fan. The young master wanted to take revenge on them and really sit on the throne, so he wanted to use the death of the master to frame them, but I really don't know about the dragon robe, if I had known about it long ago, I would rather die than agree to the young master!"

Killing his own father, taking the lives of people he had only met a few times, and having a tendency to conspire, these crimes can be punished as one, but Li Ji has taken care of them all!

At that moment, Lord Luo ordered someone to arrest Li Ji, who was still shouting, "Let go, I am the prince, you grassroots can't catch me, you can't catch me!"

Master Luo was about to reprimand, but a high-pitched voice came in from outside the house first:

"Master Luo, I have something to report!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of people walking in. Master Luo recognized the person walking in front as the sheriff of a small county in Ziyang City.

The county guard was also overjoyed to see Lord Luo, but someone told him that Lord Luo was here, but he didn't expect that there were so many big figures present, especially His Royal Highness, when had he seen such a person?

So he hurriedly paid homage one by one, Sheng Yekun's mind still stopped at his voice, and after receiving the ceremony, he asked directly: "What are you looking for, Mr. Luo, in such a hurry?"

Master Luo is also puzzled: "Yes, why did you find it here?"

The sheriff looked at Li Ji, wanted to speak but dared not.

Master Luo saw his eyes, and comforted him: "Your Highness is here, if you have something to say, you don't need to hide it."

The sheriff hesitated for a moment, and finally said ruthlessly: "Someone wanted to report to the yamen, saying, saying that King Ji allowed his subordinates to bully the market, exploit the people, and seize good land. Those people had no choice but to report to the officials. This is the first time I have received such a big case, and I don't know what to do, so I can only ask Mr. Luo for help."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ji wanted to kick up: "Fabrication, nonsense! Who are you? You are just a sesame official, and you want to sit on me! See if I kick you to death!"

Master Luo waved his hand: "Forget about oppressing the people, now he has committed more than one crime. Come, take Li Ji, the imperial physician, yes, and the housekeeper who gave King Qing medicine, all of them into prison." Prison, choose another day for trial!"

"Wait!" An old voice rang out.

Everyone looked back, only to see King Qing staggering out wearing a robe.

He is a great hero of the Sheng Dynasty, his seniority, everyone present is inferior to him, and because of this, even Sheng Yekun said "King Qing" respectfully.

Seeing him coming out, Li Ji immediately seemed to see hope, and wanted to run towards him, but there were people on both sides of him grabbing him, making him unable to move.So he could only shout to his father: "Father, save me, father, it's just me!"

"Nizi, shut up! Cough..." King Qing drank from him, but it also affected his body that had been gnawed by illness for a long time and had become terribly weak.

Sheng Yekun hurried up to support him, he looked at Sheng Yekun with apologetic eyes, but suddenly knelt down on the ground with a "bang".At this moment, almost everyone rushed forward, trying to help him up.

It's just that King Qing, who was surrounded by everyone, refused to stand up, but kowtowed to Sheng Yekun with difficulty, and said in a vicissitudes of life: "His Royal Highness, the old minister has no way to teach his son, which not only harmed Xiaojia, but also almost harmed him." Sorry to everyone, this is the guilt of the old minister. Your Highness wants to take His Majesty to punish Ji'er. The old minister dare not say anything, but I hope that His Highness will not take Ji'er's life for the sake of the old minister's dedication to the country for many years. Your Highness, I implore Already!"

After that, he knocked a few more times, each time with such strength that he was about to knock the ground out of the hole, and soon, his forehead was bruised.

Lord Luo looked at Sheng Yekun in embarrassment. He was afraid that King Qing would hear what he said just now, but now it was up to His Highness the Crown Prince to order.

Sheng Yekun first helped King Qing up, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "King Qing is a hero of the Sheng Dynasty, and Yekun dare not say much in front of you, um...how about this, I will tell Father about this matter. , let the emperor decide."

King Qing's body froze, and the tears in his eyes ran across his resolute and old face, making him look like a candle in the wind, easily destroyed.

Tell Your Majesty, is there any room left?It's just that Ji'er's troubles are too great now...

Li Ji was still shouting beside him, as if he wasn't the one who wanted to poison his father to death.

Suddenly another person came out. Fan Hua looked up, and when he saw that person's face clearly, he said in his heart, you finally came out.

Fan Hua wasn't surprised by his appearance, but he was surprised by Yue Qing who was beside him in a calm and breezy manner.

Could it be that he already knew the real identity of the other party?

Fan Hua thought for a while, but he was relieved, there were so many soldiers guarding the palace, and it seemed that when Li Kui went in and out, something went wrong.

That's right, the person who came was Li Kui who was supposed to stay in Yue Wang's mansion, with his childhood sweetheart.

When Li Ji saw him, the anxiety on his face and the hope born after seeing his father come out immediately dissipated, turning into sarcasm and disdain.

"You son of a foot-washing maid, who told you to come here, get out!" While talking, his foot had already kicked towards Li Kui.

When King Qing saw him, the emotions in his eyes suddenly became mixed. On his chest, the chill was still faintly haunting, but the medicine Fan Hua gave him just now suppressed them.

Li Kui didn't know what his father was thinking at this moment, but resisted Li Ji's kick abruptly, then walked to the side of King Qing, knelt down to Sheng Yekun, kowtowed and said: "His Royal Highness, Father always loves elder brother , father is past sixty years old, if he loses his son in old age, then father will have no hope for the rest of his life, I hope His Highness will take care of father, who is old and cannot bear such bad news, so take it lightly on eldest brother!"

King Qing looked at him, with a look of shame on his face, but he quickly took it back and kowtowed to Sheng Yekun again: "I hope His Highness will be punished lightly, and the old minister will definitely teach Lizi a lesson, so that he will not harm the society!"

Sheng Yekun looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, and his heart finally softened, that's all, since the person concerned doesn't care anymore, he doesn't need to say anything.

It's just that the matter of privately making dragon robes is not trivial, so he replied to the father and son kneeling in front of him: "I see, I will tell the father what you said, and I will also intercede for you Yes, it’s just that these crimes are capital crimes, but life crimes are inevitable, no matter what, Li Ji will be punished, but King Qing, don’t worry, I will persuade my father to be good.”

After speaking, he looked at Master Luo, "Master Luo, please come and run with me."

Master Luo didn't dare to overstep, and replied: "Your Highness is serious, this is the duty of the minister, there is nothing troublesome."

Sheng Yekun nodded, and then said loudly to everyone present: "This is the end of today's incident. I hope that everyone who has witnessed this incident will not spread and exaggerate this incident, so as not to disturb the national heart."

Everyone, look at me.I looked at you, and they all replied in unison: "I would like to follow the will of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"It's all gone. King Qing, you don't have to be sad, your body is important."

King Qing's face was already full of tears, and after hearing Sheng Yekun's words, the grief in his heart eased a bit.

"Veteran, thank Your Highness for your concern."

Sheng Yekun nodded, turned around and walked towards the door, but when he was about to step out, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Fan Hua, who had a calm face, stayed for a while, and finally followed him to leave Dissipated away.

It's just that Li Kui's gaze happened to be caught by Li Kui who raised his head, and a trace of doubt flashed across his heart.

After blinking his eyes, Li Kui withdrew his doubts and helped his father back to his room.

From the beginning to the end, in an inn near Prince Qing's Mansion, a man leaned on the window and witnessed everything.

Suddenly he retracted his staring gaze, because the sound of the door opening came from behind.He smiled and turned away.
