"In this way, you can remove the suspicion and pretend that you are also a victim."
"Of course, I'm just guessing, not targeting the King of Yue, maybe my guess is wrong."
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, a person stood up.
Li Xiao took a look, but found that this person was Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling said thoughtfully: "Master Li said that the assassination is related to Princess Dongying, I agree with that..."
"Master Fang, continue talking if you have anything to say." Wei Zheng said.
Fang Xuanling nodded and looked at Wei Zheng: "Master Wei, I want to ask you something."
"What's the matter?"
"As far as I know, the water fairy from Fengfenglou also went to Yunlan Bieyuan yesterday. May I ask where this person is now?"
"Daffodil?"
Wei Zheng looked puzzled, and immediately called his subordinates and asked, "Have you called everyone at the scene of yesterday's incident?"
The people from Dali Temple immediately replied in a respectful voice: "My lord, everyone has been called, and there is no such person as Water Fairy."
"It's just that the Yunlan Courtyard was set on fire by an assassin. Many people died in the fire, and they were all beyond recognition. The subordinates are doing their best to confirm that this person died in the fire."
"How long will it take to confirm the identity?" Wei Zheng asked with a frown.
"My lord, in another hour, the investigation will be completed."
"Well, back off!"
Swiping his men back, Wei Zheng looked at Fang Xuanling again, and asked, "What does this water fairy have to do with this matter?"
Not only Wei Zheng was puzzled, but all the ministers present had question marks on their faces.
Aren't you investigating the case of the prince's assassination?
Why did it involve a woman in a brothel?
Only Li Xiao had thoughtful eyes.
A light flashed in his mind.
Apart from Li Ke and Li Tai, there is another person who knows his whereabouts.
That is the daffodil.
Li Ke once said that when Narcissus was invited, he intended to let him also attend the poetry meeting.
But why did Fang Xuanling know?
wrong!
That Xiang Jun!
Li Xiao got up quickly, and asked Fang Xuanling: "Master Fang, you sent people to watch Fengyulou before, because of this water fairy?"
"good."
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Xiao with some surprise.
Just when everyone was wondering why Li Xiao knew about it, Li Xiao suddenly said, "Is she a spy from Dongpu?"
"His Royal Highness Yue Wang is really smart, he can understand anything." Fang Xuanling laughed.
"This……"
The officials were stunned.
"What exactly is the situation?"
"How did King Yue know?"
Everyone looked at Li Xiao suspiciously.
At this time, Li Xiao's heart suddenly became clear.
He confirmed one thing.
Fang Xuanling was wrongly blamed before.
That Xiang Jun was not Po Jun, he was staring at Fengyulou because he suspected that Narcissus was a spy from Dongying.
It has nothing to do with him.
And in Wubenfang, the token he found from Qisha was probably also a blame game.
If it was an assassination, how could he carry such an important thing as a token?
Once it fails, wouldn't it be betraying the master?
If Fang Xuanling was really "Lord Hou", he wouldn't be so stupid.
Therefore, "Hou Ye" has someone else.
Moreover, it is probably this Li Xiaogong!
But he still couldn't be sure, he just secretly felt that it was him.
He always felt that he had overlooked some important information.
Hearing this, Wei Zheng immediately said: "The interrogation will be suspended for a while, and we will wait until Dali Temple confirms the body of Yunlan Bieyuan. Please move to the guest room to rest, my lords."
Immediately afterwards, servants from Dali Temple came over and led the officials away.
Lu Li took advantage of the situation and came to Li Xiao's place, ready to take him to the guest room.
Before leaving, Li Xiao saw Li Xiaogong's malicious eyes.
When he came to the guest room, Li Xiao asked, "Lu Li, why did you remind me to be careful just now?"
This question has been lingering in his mind.
How did Lu Li know in advance that someone would deal with him?
"My lord, I received a report early this morning. There are rumors that your Highness is more intelligent than all your elder brothers, but you are not destined to be the crown prince, so I feel unwilling."
Lu Li said slowly, "I don't know who spread these rumors, but they are all discussed in private."
"It just so happened that the crown prince was assassinated at this time, and the subordinates immediately thought that this might be a conspiracy against His Highness, and wanted to put the blame on His Highness."
"Oh?"
Li Xiao looked at Lu Li in surprise.
He did not expect that this little Sicheng could have such wisdom.
As expected of a person who climbed to the sixth rank at a young age.
"Have you ever thought about what if I really did it?"
Li Xiao looked at Lu Li thoughtfully.
"Hehe, Your Highness doesn't need to try."
Lu Li chuckled, and continued, "Your Highness is talented, resourceful, and only five years old. How could such a person be in a hurry? The one who should be in a hurry should be the Crown Prince."
"You mean, the mastermind of the assassination was the prince's?" Li Xiao stared at Lu Li.
"Your Highness, please don't wrong this subordinate!" Lu Li said hastily, "Your Highness has never said such a thing!"
"just kidding."
Li Xiao smiled, then straightened his face, and asked: "Li Xiaogong, how is your relationship with the crown prince?"
"The crown prince has no relationship with Li Xiaogong. The late emperor once strictly prohibited the children of the royal family from interfering with the important affairs of the court." Lu Li replied.
"Then it's strange." Li Xiao frowned.
For him, Li Xiaogong is the most suspected "Hou Ye".
What is the motive?
If it wasn't for helping Li Chengqian get rid of his threat, what else could it be?
Just because he had a gap with Li Chongyi?
It doesn't make sense, and the timing is wrong.
Not long after, an hour has come.
Li Xiao, as well as the officials, all returned to the interrogation hall.
Wei Zheng looked solemnly, looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Master Fang, you guessed right, the water fairy is gone."
"Among all the corpses, there is no such person. Fengyulou has also sent people there, but she has not returned."
At this time, Li Xiaogong stepped forward again and said: "According to what Mr. Fang said, if this Narcissus is also Dongying's secret agent, then His Royal Highness King Yue can't get away with it."
"Before, His Royal Highness Yue went to the Wind and Rain Tower to meet the Water Fairy, and this incident caused a lot of trouble in the city."
"An Dongying princess, a Dongying spy, both had contact with the King of Yue, and then fled in fear of crime, so what?"
After Li Xiaogong finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiao playfully.
It seems to be saying: Now you know the consequences of provoking me!
At this moment, all the ministers were also affected by Li Xiaogong's words, and they started to speculate one after another.
Even the way they looked at Li Xiao changed.
"I didn't expect that the water here is so deep."
"He's so scheming at such a young age, in the future..."
"Don't talk nonsense, this matter has not yet reached a conclusion, so be careful that it comes out of your mouth!"
Although the discussion is small, it cannot escape the ears of everyone.
For a while, Li Xiao has become the most suspected person!
Chapter 86: Kill Li Xiao
At this time in the hall.
After Li Xiaogong's words fell, all the spearheads were pointed at Li Xiao.
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Xiao with a calm smile.
He won!
Li Xiao will definitely lose!
Wei Zheng also frowned slightly, looked at Li Xiao, and asked, "King Yue, how do you justify?"
"Why make an excuse?"
Li Xiao's face was indifferent: "What the Hejian County King said before was nothing but speculation, and there is no real evidence."
"It would be too childish to think that this king is a collaborator and traitor just because he has met Princess Dongying and Narcissus!"
"Oh?" Li Xiaogong's mouth turned up, "Aren't you going to admit it at this point?"
"Master Li, is there something strange about this matter?"
Li Daozong got up suddenly, and said thoughtfully: "As far as I know, His Royal Highness the King of Yue was assassinated several times, and the guards suffered heavy losses. For this reason, His Majesty specially sent the Imperial Guard to guard him."
"Nearly half of them were lost in the Battle of Yushulin, and I almost died in Huangquan. How could he be the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"Good question!"
Li Xiaogong looked at Li Daozong and said with a smile: "Suppose you colluded with the Dongying people to plot important matters, but there are always people watching around you, what would you do?"
"You mean..." Li Daozong frowned, "Remove eyeliner?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Daozong quickly knelt down in the direction of the screen, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's my nonsense!"
But the ministers sitting here all chose to be wise and protect themselves without saying a word.
You can't talk nonsense, what are you trying to do by clearing His Majesty's eyeliner?
However, Li Xiaogong was very confident, and continued: "This is why the King of Yue was assassinated many times, and his guards suffered heavy losses, but he was always safe and sound, because it was all planned by him."
"There are three purposes for this."
