After passing the painted copper-wood gate, it was clean and deserted.

There were no crying or shouting, the world was still peaceful, and Lingwu was even more peaceful, and there were not many prisoners in the prison.

Of course, there will still be people wearing shackles and locks and wearing mottled faces. After all, the crime cannot be completely eliminated.

&!&

The gate sounded loudly, and I knew someone was unlocking the lock. The prison head knew that an official was coming in, so he stood in the shadow next to him.

The door opened, and Li 9zhou came first. Several prisons stood on both sides and bowed quickly.

The old man smiled and raised his hand to make a guiding gesture, saying, "Please, sir."

Li 9zhou was still ashamed, and he only smiled faintly, but his steps were still not too fast.

The prison rooms in the prison are all single rooms, built with grout and are extremely strong. Like all prisons, there are only small high windows here, and the air is not smooth and there is a cold and moldy smell.

Li 9zhou stopped a little when he entered the corridor of the inner prison, raised his hand and held his forehead, as if he was not used to the dim light inside.

A ray of sunlight penetrated into the oblique window on the top, and there were countless floating dust particles in the light. After seeing it, I felt the silence and dirt here.

Perhaps he had heard the conversation outside, the arrested Onmyoji stood up from the pile of straw in the corner of the wall, dragged his shackles and looked at the visitor with his eyes squinted.

"Do you know why I caught you in?" Li 9zhou asked coldly.

Onmyoji hummed and said, "Although I am from Japan, your government cannot catch a good citizen for no reason."

"Good people." Li 9zhou said frankly: "Are you really a good people?"

Onmyoji looked at him with a deep look, "What did I do?"

Li 9zhou sneered: "I won't say anything about it in advance. You are Onmyoji, right?"

"No," Onmyoji's eyes moved slightly, and a sneer appeared on his lips.

"Mr. Onmyoji." Li 9zhou didn't even bother to ask his name. He walked closer and leaned slightly, "Onmyoji can control Shikigami, right?"

Onmyoji tense his face. Shikigami, few people in the Tang Dynasty knew about Shikigami. The young man in front of him actually knew about Shikigami.

"Onmyoji control Shikigami is the main magic skill of the Onmyoji. Some people make contracts through seal letters, some subjugate through sealing methods, some voluntarily submit them through friendship relationships, and can be made into paper-cuts. As long as the agreed spell is recited and summoned at any time, even the soul of a human can be used, and some use living creatures as Shikigami. I'm right?"

Seeing that he knew so clearly, Onmyoji kept silent.

"Actually, you don't have to think so hard. Today I'm going to tell you clearly what mistakes you made..." Li 9zhou's eyes shaved on the prisoner's face like an ice edge, and slowly spit out a few words, "You are from the Royal Family in Japan."

Onmyoji's eyebrows jumped violently.

"Do you know what it means when you take action in the first day?" Li 9zhou paused, "It means the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Japan."

"I don't understand what you said." Onmyoji said this, but his face turned pale, suppressing the ups and downs of his chest and his breath became thicker.

Li 9zhou walked indoors for a few steps, as if he was watching this simple room. He turned his head and looked around, and finally stopped in front of Onmyoji, slowly squatted down, looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "Do you know who I am?"

Onmyoji turned his head and insisted on ignoring it.

"I am Li 9zhou, you should have heard of it." Li 9zhou didn't care and said lightly: "The most powerful figure in the Tang Dynasty."

Li 9zhou deliberately paused, looked at the blue veins that were beating around his neck, and continued in a flat-panel, yet extremely bewitching tone: "Since I'm here, you should realize the seriousness of the matter. Your attack on Yang Guifei has touched the affairs of the Tang Dynasty royal family. If she cannot wake up, then Japan will not have a good life. The Tang Dynasty's navy will definitely cross the sea to avenge Yang Guifei."

Beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down from Onmyoji's forehead and dripped on his dirty prison clothes, which were so dirty that they could not see their true nature, and they fainted into a black ball.

"You know the importance of Yang Guifei in my Tang Dynasty." Li 9zhou's tight voice was as cold and cruel as the sound from hell. Every word was stuck in his heart. "You'd better raise your head now and look at me. Let's have a good talk, how about it?"

Onmyoji did not raise his head as he asked, but he knew very well that Li 9zhou already knew everything.

"I'm a little curious, how did you know that Yang Guifei was here?" Li 9zhou seemed to see through what he thought in his heart and said coldly: "I know you are not afraid of death, but are you not afraid of being involved in the Japanese royal family?"

The Onmyoji finally raised his head and met Li 9zhou's gaze, and still maintained his own persistence: "You said it well, but this was done by one of me, and it has nothing to do with Japan."

"It doesn't matter whether it's related or not, it's not your final decision." Li 9zhou smiled slightly.

"I said everything, it was my one person who did it. If you want to kill, kill it quickly. Why do you say so much?"

Li 9zhou's tone was cold, "You have a life of treason, but you can't resist the life of Yang Guifei. If she has three or two shorts, she will use the entire Japan to be buried with her. You also know that I hold the military power of the Tang Dynasty in my hand."

Onmyoji's eyes trembled quickly, but he did not answer.

Li 9zhou pursed the lines of his lips and said slowly and clearly: "But I don't want to go to that step, nor do I want you to die."

"Don't you want me to die?" Onmyoji laughed to the sky, "Why?"

"The Tang Dynasty has been dating Japan for a long time." Li 9zhou said quietly without any concern: "It doesn't matter to me whether you die or live. I just don't want the century-old friendship between our two countries to be destroyed by you."

Onmyoji looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to know?"

"Good question." Li 9zhou nodded slowly, "I am not interested in your life at all. I am interested... Who is the person behind it?"

"That's probably going to disappoint you." Onmyoji gritted his teeth, "This matter is important, and I'm not stupid. Do you think I'll tell you so easily?"

Li 9zhou tilted his head and looked at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which made people feel cold for no reason: "You can't help it."

Onmyoji couldn't help but blurt out and asked: "What do you mean?"

"I have already grasped the evidence that you used Shikigami to murder Yang Guifei. Whether you admit it or not, you can't change anything. The Onmyoji in Japan has always been controlled by the court. Since you have taken action, it will have nothing to do with the Japanese court."

Onmyoji was shocked and said with a forced smile: "What do you want?"

Li 9zhou said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing. At worst, you can break off diplomatic relations with Japan and send troops to attack to avenge Yang Guifei."

"no!"

"I know you don't want to see that situation either." Li 9zhou smiled slightly and spread his hands, "So, you'd better cooperate and explain honestly."

"You...you..." Onmyoji's teeth quaked, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes blew, and he said angrily, "Are you threatening me with the court?"

"It's just threatening you!" Li 9zhou looked at him calmly.

Onmyoji's face was pale and his heart was filled with despair.

Li 9zhou in front of him was like a cat playing with a mouse, but gently fiddling his claws made people unable to resist.

"Talk while there is still a chance, and when it's still time." Li 9zhou squatted in front of him and whispered: "After all, things have not been done yet, and there is still a chance of life."

Onmyoji lowered his head, his sweat was dry and wet all over his body. After a long time, he whispered: "What do you want me to do?"

"First, cure Yang Guifei." Li 9zhou let out a gentle laugh in his throat, "First, tell me who the person behind the scenes is."

The Onmyoji paused with a blank expression and nodded slowly, "It's okay to cure Yang Guifei, but I can't say anything about the person behind the scenes."

"You still want to continue hiding it, but I'm afraid you can't hide it." Li 9zhou looked at him.

Onmyoji looked at him deeply: "I told you, what are the benefits of me?"

"I can't give you too much, but at most I can use the power in my hands to deepen the relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Japan. I believe that you are planning to murder Yang Guifei for this."

Onmyoji closed his eyes, as if he was thinking violently in his mind.

pp,

He did all this and really valued the people behind him who could help Japan, because the secret was involved, Japan was also the one who received the interests.

But, after all, I don’t know what kind of person Li 9zhou is. If I speak up, will the situation be worse?

"This is a gambling game." Li 9zhou seemed to know what he was thinking once again.

Onmyoji had been completely crushed, and his whole body leaned forward weakly, and he barely sat on the ground with his hands.

After a full silence of about 1 incense stick, he finally opened his chapped lips.

"The person who instructed me to do this was Yuan Zai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Unexpectedly, Li 9zhou did not seem surprised, but was stunned for a moment, then looked at Onmyoji calmly and said, "Can you relieve the Shikigami on Yang Guifei?"

Onmyoji nodded weakly.

At this time, he was already in a desperate situation and was in prison. If Li 9zhou wanted his life, it would be just a matter of one sentence. No one would ask about a foreigner who committed a crime and died in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

But Li 9zhou chose to believe him, which made Onmyoji see a trace of hope of survival. Everyone wants to live well, and no one will seek death for no reason.

"Let him go." Li 9zhou called the prison chief to give orders.
