The next moment, a blood-stained note was revealed.
"grown ups?"
Lu Li looked at Wei Zheng in surprise.
"Bring it up!"
Wei Zheng looked puzzled.
It wasn't just him, Zhang Ji also looked at Lu Li with a dazed expression as he picked up the note from his side and handed it to Wei Zheng.
Where did the note come from?
He subconsciously looked at Li Xiaogong next to him, and had a guess in his heart.
Could it be that Li Xiaogong really came to the cell when he was in a coma?
At this time, the appearance of the note shocked all the officials.
Li Xiaogong was puzzled.
Why is there a note on Zhang Ji?
At this time, Wei Zheng opened the note and looked at it, his face suddenly changed, and then he stared at Li Xiaogong.
"What's going on? Master Wei seems shocked."
"What is written on it?"
"Why does this assassin still have a note on him? Such a heinous person should not have contact with others."
"Lord Li just interrogated the assassin alone, could it be him?"
The ministers also looked surprised.
When Li Xiaogong saw this, his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Bring me to see!"
Behind the screen, Li Er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out.
Wei Zheng immediately handed the note to the eunuch, and then handed it over to Li's second hand.
When Li Er saw it, he stood up abruptly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Come on!"
"Arrest Hejian County King!"
In an instant, the guards of the imperial guards all set off and rushed towards Li Xiaogong.
"His Majesty!"
Li Xiaogong was in a hurry, knelt down quickly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! I have never written any note, someone must have framed it!"
At this moment, he still doesn't understand.
It was clear that someone had plotted against him.
And this man...
Li Xiaogong subconsciously looked towards Li Xiao.
However, Li Xiao was still as calm as ever.
At this moment, he understood everything.
Li Er was unmoved by Li Xiaogong's begging for mercy.
Immediately afterwards, the guards of the forbidden army subdued Li Xiaogong, unable to move.
"Show them."
Li Er's voice came from behind the screen again.
Then, an old eunuch took out the note again.
Li Daozong was the closest, first took a look at the note, his expression changed suddenly, and then all the ministers looked over it.
Li Xiao and Li Junxian also saw it.
Li Junxian had an unbelievable expression on his face: "How could it be..."
The content on the note is how Li Xiaogong coerced and lured Zhang Ji to slander Li Xiao.
Not only that, Li Xiaogong also promised how to save the lives of the two after the matter is completed.
Li Junxian was stupefied at first, but when he saw Lu Li beside Zhang Ji, a light flashed in his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
It turned out that His Highness had prepared a backhand in advance.
This note was clearly Lu Li's fraud.
In the hall, no one noticed it.
I don't know when it was put on Zhang Ji.
At this time, the eyes of the officials looking at Li Xiaogong also changed.
"Master Li, you keep saying that you have never written a note, so you mean that the people from Dali Temple deliberately framed you?"
Wei Zheng stared at Li Xiaogong angrily.
"His Majesty!"
But Li Xiaogong anxiously looked at the screen and shouted: "I can swear to the sky, if this matter is what I do, it will definitely..."
"Master Li!"
But Li Xiao interrupted Li Xiaogong and said: "If it is useful to swear, what is the use of this evidence?"
"If it's what you mean, wouldn't every death row inmate just need to take an oath to get away with it?"
"you!"
Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and glared, wishing he could eat Li Xiao alive.
At this moment, Wei Zheng asked Zhang Ji, "Zhang Ji, what's the matter with this note? Who gave it to you?"
Zhang Ji also looked confused.
He was already in a coma because of his injuries, and was brought here after waking up.
He didn't even know that there was a note on his body, so how could he know who wrote it?
But looking at the current situation, it seems that Li Xiaogong met him in the cell before and left a note for him.
Moreover, the content of the note seemed to be so important that His Majesty was furious when he saw Thunder.
"grown ups."
Zhang Ji frowned, his brain cells were running wildly, and then he said slowly: "I was already in a coma before, and I don't know who wrote it."
He thought a lot.
He knew very well that if he spoke for Li Xiaogong at this time, he would undoubtedly be suspected of protecting Li Xiaogong.
In that case, Li Xiaogong would be even more unable to clear up the suspicion.
And Li Xiaogong is his only savior, if Li Xiaogong is gone, he will be finished.
"do not know?!"
Wei Zheng frowned, then looked at Lu Li, "Who else has seen them in the cell?"
Lu Li respectfully replied, "Master Li, only Master Li Xiaogong has seen it."
Chapter 88: Jedi counterattack, Li Xiaogong admits defeat!
"Before being imprisoned, was there any search?" Wei Zheng asked with a frown.
"My subordinates know that this matter is of great importance, so they dare not be careless. They searched very carefully. There was nothing unusual before they were imprisoned." Lu Li replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong was extremely excited, staring at Zhang Ji, and said in a deep voice: "What on earth do you want to do? Who ordered you to frame me?!"
Facing Li Xiaogong's questioning at this time, Zhang Ji also panicked.
He also couldn't understand why things had developed to this point.
He thought that the note was really written by Li Xiaogong, maybe there was some purpose, but he hadn't thought of it yet.
"Master Li, you said you have a way to get the assassin to confess, this is your way?!"
Wei Zheng looked angry.
"Do you know what crime it is to bribe an assassin and frame the prince?"
"I do not have!"
Li Xiaogong looked anxiously at the screen, and shouted: "Your Majesty, please check clearly, I have never done this!"
"Enough!" Wei Zheng roared, "It wasn't you, could it be that my people from Dali Temple couldn't do it?"
He can't bear this responsibility.
"Master Wei, Master Li Xiaogong framed it, or planted it, that's another matter, let's not talk about it for now."
Li Xiao got up suddenly, and said slowly: "The top priority should be to find out the real culprit behind the assassination as soon as possible."
"What clues did His Royal Highness find?"
Wei Zheng looked at Li Xiao with thoughtful eyes.
I just heard Li Xiao say: "The clue is on that piece of paper."
"All the elders know that Zhang Ji has been in the army since he was a child, and now his status and power are far beyond the reach of others."
"So, he has no motive and no reason to collude with the Dongying people to assassinate my Great Tang prince."
"That is to say, assassinating the prince will not benefit him at all, but may harm the whole family."
"Then behind him, there must be someone behind him. This person has a high position and authority, and Zhang Ji is his confidant. That's why he entrusted such a big matter to Zhang Ji."
"Interesting." Li Daozong interjected, "This piece of Ji happened to be brought up by Master Li Xiaogong in the early years."
"Li Daozong, don't talk nonsense!"
Li Xiaogong glared angrily, and then said: "It is true that he was supported by me, but the military has its own system of rewards and punishments. It is his own ability to climb to the current position, so what has it to do with me?"
"I didn't say it was related to you, why are you so anxious?" Li Daozong smiled.
"No matter what, this is not enough to prove that I ordered him!" Li Xiaogong gritted his teeth and said.
"Then here comes the question..." Li Xiao sneered, "Zhang Ji was instigated by others, so he must have received favors. What kind of favors could make him risk everything to assassinate the crown prince?"
"Besides you being kind to him, who else has benefited him?"
"Gold and silver? Or precious treasures?"
"Do you think it is possible to assassinate the prince for these?"
"Ha ha."
Li Xiaogong laughed back angrily: "I have supported countless people. If they do anything against them in the future, they will all be forced on me? Even if I have the fault of knowing people, but people are not sages and sages. Pass."
"It makes sense, maybe I was thinking too much."
Li Xiao nodded, and then said: "To collude with the Japanese people to assassinate the prince must have been premeditated, privately trained dead soldiers, and hoarded a large number of weapons and armor to do it. Li Xiaogong Li lord obviously does not have these conditions."
"This……"
After hearing this, Li Daozong said thoughtfully: "A few years ago, Mr. Li Xiaogong was framed for rebellion, so he was dismissed from the military and transferred back to the capital. Could it be..."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers' eyes lit up.
This is too coincidental.
He had been suspected of treason before, and if this was true, then everything would make sense.
"You stop talking nonsense!" Li Xiaogong was furious.
"I'm sorry, I was talking too much." Li Daozong clasped his fists quickly.
"Naturally, how could Master Li Xiaogong collude with the Dongying people?"
Li Xiao said with a smile: "Master Li is the Minister of Rites, and Honglu Temple is also under his jurisdiction. If he is not deeply trusted by the emperor, how could he entrust such a heavy responsibility to him?"
Hearing this, Li Daozong's eyes lit up, and he said immediately: "The King Yue's words reminded me that Princess Dongying disappeared strangely before, and no one could explain it. Besides, I really can't imagine how she disappeared."
