Chapter 557 Panic(1/2)
After much deliberation, His Majesty Li Er couldn't figure out why the Changsun family did this.
More importantly, if this incident was planned by Changsun Wuji, with his understanding of Changsun Wuji, he would never leave such an obvious clue.
Besides, Changsun's family and the royal family are married, and Changsun Wuji and himself worked hard to conquer this world.
Regardless of his friendship with Changsun Wuji or the relationship between Changsun's family and the royal family, it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to rebel.
Because only by following the footsteps of the royal family, the Changsun family will gain the greatest benefits.
Since it is impossible for Changsun Wuji to rebel, and Yang Fan is confident in his words.
So now we have to figure out a question: Is there any definite evidence that it was Changsun Wuji who did it?
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er stared at Yang Fan and asked: "You keep saying that these soldiers are sent by the Changsun family, but there are witnesses and physical evidence that prove that the leader is a member of the Changsun family? Are there direct descendants of the Changsun family among them?"
"
Yang Fan rolled his eyes and was speechless.
If he could catch a direct descendant of the Changsun family, why would he come here with all his injuries to gain sympathy?
It was precisely because when Li Junxian and Xi Junmai rushed to Changsun's farm, they found not only the escaped soldiers but also the body of Changsun Bin.
According to the confession of the servants at Changsun's farm, Changsun Chong was still at the farm during the day, and they had no idea whether he was still there at night.
Although Yang Fan was certain that all of this was Chang Sun Chong's fault, he did not catch the scene after all, which left him to find a direct descendant of the Chang Sun family to serve as a scapegoat.
However, regarding His Majesty Li Er's question, Yang Fan still said categorically: "Your Majesty, as for whether what the minister said is true, you can immediately send someone to verify it. The King of Hejian County and the craftsmen from the Firearms Supervision were all there at that time. It is true that
There were about two hundred people who attacked the firearms prison. The leader was Changsun Bin, the housekeeper of the Changsun family. We used the thunder to repel them and allowed them to escape back to the farm of the Changsun family. You will find out once you check.
true and false."
His Majesty Li Er thought he had discovered something fishy, and angrily rebuked: "In my opinion, you and Li Junxian can be regarded as veteran generals in the army. Not only are the Firearms Prison guarded by more than 20 forbidden troops, but they also sent 100
Baiqi, there are more than 100 of you in total, so it’s considered a calculation without any intention.”
"In addition, the opponent only has a total of two hundred people, but they can actually kill so many of you and injure them. In the end, it took the thunder to repel them. Do you think my hundred knights are made of paper, or do you think I am stupid?"
In Li Er's view, there were more than 100 people stationed at the Firearms Prison. With the strength of Baiqi, even if the two hundred thieves were strong soldiers in the army, it was impossible to kill them with such heavy casualties.
The personnel in Baiqili are all selected from a million, and they are all brave men in the army.
So many people are enough to destroy a tribe, but the other party can kill you by surprise with a big knife. This is pure bullshit!
Speaking of this matter, Yang Fan was still angry. If Duan Zhixuan hadn't interfered, he wouldn't have lost so many people.
Not to mention the dead guards, the two seriously injured special forces soldiers made Yang Fan feel pain in his body.
Now that His Majesty Li Er still doubted it, Yang Fan couldn't help but became furious. He looked into His Majesty Li Er's eyes without any sign of weakness and said firmly: "Your Majesty, if there is any falsehood in what I just said, I dare to guarantee it with my head.
As for why there were so many casualties, it was because of some villain's mischief and General Li's hundred cavalry had no time to support them. Your Majesty can personally ask General Li Junxian about this."
"You mean there are still people helping these people enter the firearms prison?" His Majesty Li Er asked with a frown.
Yang Fan neither confirmed nor denied, but asked: "Your Majesty, I don't have any evidence, so I dare not say whether there are other people involved, but your Majesty can think about it."
"The reason why the Firearms Supervision Bureau was originally built near the Daming Palace was because there were guards patrolling the Daming Palace."
"Two hundred people is not a small target. If no one cooperates, how can so many people bypass the Forbidden Army's defense line?"
After hearing Yang Fan's analysis, His Majesty Li Er fell silent.
Indeed, as he said, the reason why the Firearms Supervision Bureau was originally built near the Daming Palace was from a safety perspective.
Li Er rubbed his head, his head hurt a little.
He really didn't expect that even the Forbidden Army would be involved. It seemed that there were quite a few people involved!
For a moment, the hall fell into silence.
At this time, Wang Huangui came in with the imperial doctor, making Li Er also notice Yang Fan's condition.
There's no way this guy could have caused such an injury on purpose to fool himself.
You know, the densely packed iron pieces on Yang Fan's back make people take a breath of cold air.
If these iron pieces were deeper, it might be impossible for the gods to save them!
Now Yang Fan has lost too much blood and his face is a little pale. If he tries to argue with him at this time, he is afraid that Yang Fan will not even cooperate with the treatment.
If there is really something wrong, how can I explain it to my daughter?
If he becomes a widow before he gets married, Li Er will really become a joke!
Thinking of this, His Majesty Li Er did not entangle with Yang Fan and directly gave the order: "Okay, I will carefully consider what you said and let the imperial doctor treat your wound first. Otherwise, do you think your body is made of iron?"
After hearing Li Er's words, Yang Fan sighed slightly.
It is really difficult for His Majesty Li Er to make a decision on the spot.
It seems that Changsun Wuji's status in his heart is really different.
If others were involved in this kind of thing, even if they were just suspected, His Majesty Li Er might have them arrested.
However, of course, Yang Fan would not give up so easily and said again: "Thank you for your Majesty's grace. Let the imperial doctor treat Zai Weichen's wounds on the spot."
"As for what Wei Chen said just now, all the evidence points to Changsun Chong. All we need to do is call him in and confront him, and the truth will come to light."
After saying that, Yang Fan remained silent and turned his head to indicate to the imperial doctor that he could treat the wound.
Li Er really didn't expect that Yang Fan would be so stubborn. It seemed that this kid would not give up unless he was given an explanation.
Then he turned to the old eunuch Wang Huangui and said: "Go and announce that today's court meeting will be postponed for the time being. Immediately let someone go to the scene and let Li Junxian and Li Xiaogong present the detailed investigation results."
"No!" Wang Huangui took the order and left quickly.
Half an hour later, Li Junxian arrived at Ganlu Hall.
The horse racing along the way made Li Junxian sweat profusely.
Entering the main hall, Li Junxian knelt down and reported back: "Your Majesty, I will be surveying the scene and making statistics with the Prince of Hejian. This time the Firearms Supervisor was attacked. Seventeen people were killed by the Forbidden Army, and eight others were seriously injured. The seriously injured person survived.
The chance of coming down is also very small.”
"One hundred and thirty-two of the intruders died on the spot, and more than thirty were seriously injured. The rest escaped and were all killed or captured by the general."
"After interrogation, it was found that the invading bandits were led by Changsun Bin. This person was once the steward of the Changsun family. For some unknown reason, this person died suddenly on the farm in the early morning. As for whether there is anyone behind the scenes, it remains to be verified!"
"In addition, in this incident, the reason why the general was unable to come back in time was because he was deliberately obstructed and delayed by Duke Bao. There is a detailed record in the booklet. Your Majesty is requested to review the specific process."
Li Junxian made a brief report and then handed over a pile of paper.
Obviously, these were just recorded confessions and narratives, and there was no time to sort them out.
However, His Majesty Li Er did not blame him and browsed it roughly.
"Is he really from the Changsun family?"
His Majesty Li Er frowned, and combined with the evidence in his hand, it was easy to think of Changsun Chong.
Changsun Chong and Yang Fan have a long-standing grudge, and they obviously have motives and reasons for doing this.
Moreover, Changsun Bin, as the steward of the Changsun family, could not give orders to others.
There were both witnesses and material evidence. Although Chang Sun Chong was not caught on the spot, Chang Sun Chong could not escape the involvement.
What happened was that Changsun Chong fell into trouble at Yang Fan's hands several times and held a grudge against Yang Fan.
He wanted to launch a surprise attack while Yang Fan was in charge of the firearms inspection.
If Yang Fan can be killed, not only can he get rid of an opponent, but he can also avenge bloodshed.
Even if Yang Fan cannot be killed, the firearms in the firearms prison can still be stolen.
Today was the day when Yang Fan handed over the task. If he couldn't get the firearm, he would definitely punish Yang Fan.
No matter which goal is achieved, Changsun Chong will be the winner in the end.
But what Changsun Chong didn't expect was that Yang Fan had already discovered the secret tunnel they dug, thus avoiding a conspiracy.
After roughly framing the whole story, His Majesty Li Er was filled with rage!
Knowing that Yang Fan was responsible for producing the empire's weapons, Changsun Chong still didn't forget his grudge. It was damned.
The most unforgivable thing is that Duan Zhixuan deliberately let these people in. How did he ever take me seriously?
Such disregard for national law and failure to abide by military orders, how is it different from rebellion?
The more His Majesty Li Er watched, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he shouted directly: "Baiqi will immediately send Duan Zhixuan to the sky prison and let the three departments interrogate him. If the evidence is conclusive, I will not be lenient."
"In addition, I have told Changsun Wuji to come to the palace to see me immediately. I want to ask him personally how he taught his son, whether he still has the laws of the court in his eyes, and whether he still has me as the emperor? Hum,
I will definitely ask him to hand over Changsun Chong, otherwise, huh!"
His Majesty Li Er was furious and issued a series of instructions.
The maids in the palace were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Li Junxian stood up and accepted the order: "I obey the order!"
He turned around and glanced at Yang Fan, then turned around and walked out of Ganlu Hall.
At this time, Yang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
