With a crisp sound of 'Bang!', King Qing Li Cong smashed the cup hard on the ground, smashing it to pieces. He couldn't curb his anger and said viciously: "You dare to fool me if you are ungrateful!"

He had just received news from the secret agent. After Li Qing'an politely rejected his son Li Qiu, he turned around to the East Palace. He used so much effort to write the invitation. Li Qing'an's merciless refusal made him feel a setback that he had never experienced before, and greatly lost his face.

Although Li Qiu next to him was also disappointed, he was not as annoyed as his father Li Cong. From the time when Li Qingan refused, he had realized that Li Qingan might have seen through his strategy. Li Qingan turned around to the East Palace, which was as expected.

"It's fine if he doesn't come. Since he refuses to reconcile with Dong Yanguang and does not accept the invitation from his father, it means that he is determined to go with the prince. Father, Li Qing'an is not worth worrying about and cannot become a stumbling block for his father. The child suggests not to let him go."

"But I can't breathe this. I, Li Cong, is the eldest son of the emperor?"

Li Cong punched the table hard, staring out the window and said word by word: "I want to kill him!"

"Your Highness wants to kill people, but the person you want to kill should not be Li Qing'an!" Li Cong's aide Yan Kai walked in from outside.

Dong Yanguang has never stopped since the morning. He found Zhang Yun, King Qing, Yang Zhao, and Yang Li. It was not until the last step that Yang Li agreed to plead for him and finally accepted his 1,000 taels of gold worth ten thousand guan and 1,000 acres of Guanzhong Shangtian.

Yang Ji is the backbone of the Yang family. He is willing to plead for him. Dong Yanguang's heart, which has been hanging in the air, finally let go of half. The acquired dynasty is the dynasty, and the Yang family still has one day to operate for him. Since the Yang family has come forward to plead for him, at least he can take Wang Zhongsi's path, and at least he can be the prefect of Yizhou.

Thinking of his dignified governor of Shanzhou and deputy envoy of Longyou Jiedu, who was actually going to be the prefect, he couldn't help but hate Li Qing'an again, and Ge Shu Han. If they hadn't harmed him behind his back, would he end up like this?

At this time, the drum sounded at Guanfang Gate. Dong Yanguang accelerated his horse speed. More than a dozen subordinates followed closely. From afar, there was no one in front of Baoning Fang Gate. Just when Dong Yanguang was about to rush into the gate, a large number of men in black rushed out of the yard. Everyone held bows and arrows. He pointed at Dong Yanguang and fired arrows together. The arrows suddenly shot like rain, and instantly shot Dong Yanguang like a hedgehog. Without even having time to scream, Dong Yanguang fell to the ground. Most of his dozen followers were shot to death. The remaining few turned around and wanted to run away, but were caught up by the men in black and shot to death one by one.

A man in black was afraid that Dong Yanguang would not die, so he stabbed him hard into his chest. The man in black threw down a few bows and arrows, ran in various directions, and disappeared into the dark night after a while. After a long time, several servants came out tremblingly. Seeing the dead bodies on the ground, they were so scared that they shouted, "Murder! Come on!"

The news of Dong Yanguang's murder spread throughout the court and the country early the next morning, and countless people were shocked.

Although Dong Yanguang was seriously guilty, he was killed in the capital, which indicates that the capital was unsafe. Officials from various ministries, temples and prisons were talking about it. Many people mentioned Li Qing'an intentionally or unintentionally, as if he was the most suspicious of killing Dong Yanguang, but soon another news came that the bow and arrows thrown by the murderer were owned by the Longyou Army, and the suspicion came to Geshuhan again.

Today, Li Longji did not come to the Imperial Study room to handle government affairs. After the matter in Longyou was decided, he became tired of the cumbersome court affairs and threw the memorials to Gao Lishi for criticism.

Li Longji had just gotten up and was sitting at the table drinking a bowl of ginseng tea. At this time, an eunuch hurried over and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Gao has news that Jingzhao Yin Xiao Jiong has urgent matters to report."

"What happened?" Li Longji was a little unhappy. He had a rare day off during this period, so if he had something to do, he would come to him.

"Let the general deal with me."

"Your Majesty, it seems that Dong Yanguang was killed."

"What!" Li Longji stood up with a 'tween!'. Dong Yanguang was killed. Who is so bold?

"Set up to the imperial study immediately."

In the imperial study room, Gao Lishi was listening to the explanation of Jingzhao Yin Xiao Jiong. Dong Yanguang and all of his eighteen personal soldiers were killed. Dong Yanguang was hit by forty-two arrows. This incident made Gao Lishi feel a little heavy. It was obvious that Li Qing'an could not escape the relationship. He would be blocked tomorrow. If the case was not investigated as soon as possible, Li Qing'an would probably be implicated.

At this time, Li Linfu, Chen Xilie and Zhang Yun also arrived one after another. Li Linfu was the right prime minister. He had no choice but to do such a big thing. Chen Xilie was the Minister of War. Dong Yanguang was ordered by the Ministry of War to enter the capital, so he could not escape his responsibility. Zhang Yun was because Dong Yanguang had visited him yesterday. If he did not leave himself in a clear way, he might be implicated.

Seeing that Xiao Jing was passing by himself and making a memorial, Li Linfu couldn't help but snorted heavily and said coldly: "Eunuch Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Jing was so scared that he trembled all over. Because of the urgent situation, he ran to Xingqing Palace directly. Only then did he remember that he had offside. He quickly stammered and explained: "Li Xiangguo, Bei Zhi has handed the memorial to the Secretariat. Because the matter is serious and there is a new situation, he came to explain."

"Is that true? It turns out that small things were reported to the original person, and big things came to meet the saint."

"This is not the subordinate, this means, the subordinate means"

Xiao Jing was so anxious that he was incoherent. At this time, Gao Lishi waved his hand and smiled: "Prime Minister, let's talk about this in advance. I guess the emperor will arrive soon. Let's talk about Dong Yanguang first."

Li Linfu glared at Xiao Jing and impeached him after the matter was over. He looked so terrified that he asked Xiao Jing coldly: "Tell me! What's new?"

Xiao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "I have collected all the information about Dong Yanguang's activities yesterday."

"What kind of intelligence was collected?"

Li Longji strode into the imperial study room, Gao Lishi, Li Linfu and others bowed together, "I will attend Your Majesty!"

Li Longji sat down on the imperial bed and waved his hand and said, "Give me the memorial first."

Li Linfu quickly handed the memorial handed over by Xiao Jing to the Secretariat to Li Longji, "Please read your Majesty."

Li Longji opened the memorial and carefully read what happened last night. The imperial study room was very quiet, and no one dared to disturb Li Longji's thinking. Li Linfu quickly swept to Gao Lishi from the corner of his eyes. Li Qing'an was the first suspect in Dong Yanguang's death. He and Dong Yanguang were as deep as the sea, and he could also possess the bows and arrows from Longyou. Moreover, he brought two hundred people to Beijing, and all the conditions were very consistent. It was very likely that he would frame Geshuhan after killing Dong Yanguang.

Unexpectedly, Gao Lishi's face was as calm as water, and his face had no expression. Li Linfu suddenly realized that Gao Lishi must have evidence that Li Qing'an was absent. Could it be Geshuhan? He threw down the bow and arrow after killing people, making others think that he was framed. Although Geshuhan's army that he visited Beijing this time did not bring bow and arrow, his five hundred personal soldiers were carrying bow and arrows. He killed Dong Yanguang and all the Longyou Army was under his control, and he was also suspected.

Zhang Yun, the Minister of Revenue, was very nervous. Dong Yanguang had found him after entering Beijing yesterday. Although he ignored him, it proved from another aspect that Dong Yanguang had something to do with him. When the emperor asked later, how should he answer?

At this time, Li Longji finished reading the memorial, which only described the situation of Dong Yanguang being killed in front of Baoningfang Gate, including the time, place, number of people, number of arrows, and the bows and arrows thrown, as well as the testimony of the ward. As for other situations, the memorial was not mentioned.

Li Longji put down the memorial and asked Xiao Jing: "Xiao Aiqing, when I came in the door just now, I heard you say that there were new discoveries. Now you can tell me! What new discoveries are there?"

"Your Majesty, I have investigated hundreds of people and have basically figured out Dong Yanguang's route yesterday. He found a lot of people yesterday."

"Wait a minute!" Li Longji stopped him and said, "Since there are many people involved, I will ask questions in Datong Palace. Today I will come to investigate the case and must come to the bottom of the matter."

Everyone moved to Datong Palace again, Li Longji sat down and said, "Xiao Aiqing, start talking!"

"I obey the order!"

Xiao Jing stepped forward and bowed, and said slowly: "Dong Yanguang came to Beijing yesterday morning. They first met Li Qing'an at the entrance of Dongcheng City. It is said that they were nervous and quite hostile at that time. This is the first one."

"Okay! Let me tell you about Li Qing'an first."

Several eunuchs hurriedly ran to find Li Qing'an, and Li Longji said to Xiao Jing again: "You keep talking."

Xiao Jing glanced at Zhang Yun and whispered: "Then Dong Yanguang went to find Shangshu Zhang."

Li Longji glanced at Zhang Yun with a stern look, and Zhang Yun was so scared that he hurried out: "Yesterday, I was slightly sick and went back to the mansion early. I met Dong Yanguang in front of the mansion. He begged me to plead for him, but I ignored him and didn't say a word to him."

Li Longji believed Zhang Yun's words. With Zhang Yun's shrewdness, how could he cause trouble? He nodded and asked, "What is the relationship between Aiqing and Dong Yanguang?"

Zhang Yun's heart was shocked. What should come but could not escape. He had to bite the bullet and said, "Dong Yanguang's daughter is the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, and it has such a little bit of relationship."

Li Longji glanced at him and did not continue. He said to Xiao Jiong again: "Let's talk about it!"

"After Dong Yanguang left Xiao Mansion, he went to Prince Qing Mansion again. Someone saw him enter the gate of Prince Qing Mansion."

"King Qing?" Li Longji's head suddenly became a little big. Only then did he remember that Dong Yanguang was the one from King Qing. Needless to say, he must have pleaded with King Qing.

"What else?"

"Also, Dong Yanguang found Uncle Xian, the young master of Jingzhao Prefecture, and they discussed together for half an hour."

"Transfer my will to meet with King Xuanqing and King Xian Yu Shuming of Jingzhao Prefecture."

At this time, a loud shout came from outside the hall, "The General of the Anxi Central Army Li Qing'an has arrived and is waiting outside the hall."

"Xuan him into the palace!"

"The emperor has an order to meet Li Qing'an, the General of the Xishan Governor of Xuan'an!"

With the guards shouting loudly, Li Qingan hurried into the hall. He also heard about Dong Yanguang's assassination, which made him happy and worried. It was because Dong Yanguang was killed and the revenge was avenged, and the worry was because the attacker was vicious. He killed someone on the eve of his about to be rewarded, which made him suspicious. It was obviously to affect his reward tomorrow. Who would this person be?

He stepped forward and bowed, "My minister Li Qing'an, see Your Majesty!"

Li Longji looked at him and asked, "General Li, you must know about Dong Yanguang's murder. I think you know it too. I just want to ask you one thing, is Dong Yanguang you killed?"

"Although I hate Dong Yanguang and wish I could kill him with my own hands, Your Majesty once promised to give Anxi Army an explanation, so I am waiting for Your Majesty's punishment and will never commit suicide without authorization. Dong Yanguang was not killed by me."

"Your Majesty, I can also prove that Dong Yanguang was not killed by General Li."

Gao Lishi slowly walked out and said, "General Li's follower was in my mansion last night and had never left. The old slave saw it with his own eyes. Although Dong Yanguang was killed by two hundred people, it should have nothing to do with General Li."

Li Longji glanced at Li Linfu again and said, "What do the Prime Minister think?"

Li Linfu sighed lightly and said, "All those who are Li Qing'an have been killed in battle. I agree with what General Gao Da said."

Li Longji nodded and said, "General Li, you deny killing Dong Yanguang. I believe you will not lie in front of me. You should step back! Take a shower and change your clothes, and wait for tomorrow's morning."

Li Qing'an's heart fell, "I thank Your Majesty!"

He bowed to Gao Lishi and Li Linfu and said, "Xie Gaoweng and the Prime Minister presided over justice."

Gao Lishi had no expression on his face, but there was a slight smile in Li Linfu's eyes. Li Qing'an had good methods and had gradually become the prince's confidant.

Li Qing'an slowly retreated. At this time, an eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, King Qing is seriously ill and cannot do it. He requested to meet His Majesty again."

Li Linfu and Chen Xilie exchanged a glance at the same time. It must be because of King Qing. Dong Yanguang was his person. He was afraid that Dong Yanguang would expose something when he was anxious, so he killed someone to silence him.

Li Longji's face was extremely difficult to see. He obviously thought of something. The hall was silent and the atmosphere was a little awkward. At this time, the guards came from outside the hall to shout: "Jingzhao Shaoyin Xian and Yu Shuming meet."

This shout was very timely, breaking the embarrassment of the hall. Li Longji immediately said: "Put him to meet him."

"Xuan Jingzhao Shaoyin Xian and Shuming meet with him!"

Uncle Xianyu walked in quickly. When Dong Yanguang died, he knew that he could not escape the disaster. He was very regretful. His momentary loyalty actually put himself to death.

As soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down and said, "I am Xian Yu Shuming to see Your Majesty!"

"Xian Yu Shaoyin, I don't want to explain anything to you anymore. What did Dong Yanguang ask you for yours yesterday? What did you do? You can come with the truth!"

Li Longji had murderous intent in his heart. He had to have an explanation for Dong Yanguang's death, but he didn't want to move Geshuhan and Li Qing'an, so King Qing would naturally not be punished. Only Xian Yu Shuming, who is Jingzhao Shaoyin, has the conditions to arrange two hundred men in black into Chang'an, and he is the best scapegoat.

Xian Yu Shuming also heard the bad intentions in Li Longji's tone. He was so scared that he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have a good personal relationship with Dong Yanguang. He knew that he was guilty and wanted to pay 10,000 yuan of money and 1,000 acres of land to get rid of the crime. Because I knew Yang Zhao, the chief of Jiannan Jiedu Prefecture, he asked me to help him plead with me."

Everyone's hearts in the hall suddenly hang up. Xian Yu Shuming really didn't want to live anymore, and actually pulled the Yang family in. The murderous intent in Li Longji's eyes became even more intense. He pressed the jade belt on his waist and said coldly: "What?"

Xian Yu Shuming was sweating profusely. He knew that the god of death was getting closer and closer to him. He simply said with a slight scheming: "Yang Zhongcheng refused to help and said he wanted to think about it, but in less than half an hour, he sent someone to send a note to ask Chen and Dong Yanguang to find Yang Ji, the minister of Guanglu Temple."

Without waiting for Li Longji to shout out, he took out the note in his arms and said anxiously: "Yang Xuan collected Dong Yanguang's 1,000 taels of gold and a thousand acres of land deeds, and agreed to help plead for love. This is the note written by Yang Zhao. Please tell me clearly."

He finished speaking in one breath and raised the note high. The note was originally an introduction letter written by Yang Zhao to Yang Ji, but Yang Ji heard that there was a bribe, so he didn't ask for the note at all. Now it has become evidence in the hands of Xian Yu Shuming.

It was this note that the strange peak suddenly rose and dragged Li Longji out to kill the stick and blocked his mouth. The hall was silent. Things actually brought the Yang family into it, and it was openly accepting bribes. Even Chen Xilie sighed secretly. How stupid this Yang Ji was, he dared to accept Dong Yanguang's bribes. He was too self-righteous.

A eunuch took the note from Xian Yu Shuming and presented it to Li Longji. The note was written by Yang Zhao, with only one sentence on it: Dong Yanguang will die and will severely damage Li Qing'an.

Li Longji gradually narrowed his eyes. What a Yang Zhao. He is indeed a non-toxic man. He actually leads the disaster to his brother. It's good, he is really cruel and cruel.
