Chapter 245: Poisoned Wine
A black-robed knight used a mo knife to lift the wooden box and felt that the weight inside the box was very heavy, more than 100 kilograms, and the things inside seemed to be struggling and hitting the wooden box. It should undoubtedly be Yu Santai.
He picked up the wooden box and waved it with one knife, and then prepared to chop the wooden box. By the way, he cut Yu Santai inside. A feather arrow suddenly flew over and hit his head. Before he could hum, he fell off his horse and fell to the ground.
Another black-robed knight used a sword to pick up the wooden box. The blade was raised and the wooden box slid down and went directly to his back. He only heard him shouting: "Go away! They have no horses! They can't catch up!"
The black-robed knights immediately turned their horses to escape. Feiying and the others were anxious to see this and chased them wildly. At the same time, they raised their crossbows to shoot. No matter who they shot, they could kill.
Facts have proved that Xue Rengui's training was very strict. Feiying and his team ran very fast, and they were not inferior to Lu Yun in a short period of time. The fast horses of the black-robed knights were difficult to get rid of them. What's even more terrifying is that they were on crossbow strings while running and shot three or four rounds of arrows in a row. The fourteen black-robed knights were shot and killed ten people. The remaining four black-robed knights were scared. They could not believe that this was true. Some black-robed knights even shouted in shock: "These guys actually compete with horses for their feet. Are they humans or ghosts!"
Lu Yun and the others snatched the horses of the knights who were shot to death and chased them reluctantly. They had to take Yu Santai. The four black knights quickly discussed and fled in dispersion, at least they had to leave a living room to report the news.
"Chasing the wooden box carrying it!" Lu Yunchen shouted, and stared at the knight carrying it with Feiying and the others to chase it.
Since the knight was carrying a wooden box, there was a person in the wooden box, and the horses naturally ran faster than Lu Yun and the others. The distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter. Seeing that they were only three feet away, they were about to catch up. The knight suddenly unloaded the wooden box and threw it at a very high steep slope. The wooden box suddenly exploded and a figure rolled out inside. The man was wearing a white lining, without a shirt, tied tightly by a rope, and was rolling down from the steep slope. The steep slope was more than twenty meters high, and it was covered with rocks, and so steep. If a person rolled down, it would be absolutely inauspicious.
Lu Yun hurriedly shouted: "Don't chase after you! Save people!" After that, he rode his horse to the steep slope, jumped down, and chased Yu Santai. The speed was as fast as a gust of wind. Feiying and the others followed him, jumped down one after another, and went to save people together.
Lu Yungang reached out and grabbed Yu Santai's foot and pulled him. With a "whisper" sound, a feather arrow shot into Yu Santai's head, and everyone was stunned.
Blood overflowed from the back of Yu Santai's head, dyed sand and soil red, flowing downwards. Lu Yun and the others turned their heads and looked upwards. They saw the black-robed knight riding on the horse, holding a long bow in his hand, looking proudly at them. Seeing their eyes coming, the black-robed knight snorted coldly, turned his head and left. Lu Yun's teeth clattered, but he didn't expect that he would fail in the end. These black-robed knights were really not simple.
"Go and kill him!" Feiying said as she wanted to lead four special forces members to chase the black knight.
Lu Yun sighed, "Forget it, the mission has failed. What's the use of killing him? Go back and clean the battlefield."
"Yes!" Feiying nodded helplessly.
Lu Yun carried Yu Santai's body, climbed up the slope with Feiying and others, rode horses and returned to the courtyard along the same road. Their purpose of cleaning the battlefield was to retrieve the arrows they used, because their arrows were specially made. It is best to reclaim the arrows for carrying out such secret missions. After all, their crossbows will be very likely to be made public in the future. If they are discovered by those who are interested, it is very likely to cause trouble to Li Hao.
The courtyard was already full of fire, but fortunately it was a wilderness ridge, and no one noticed it. After cleaning the battlefield and retrieving all the arrows, Lu Yun was unwilling to give up and searched the men in blue and black, trying to find out which force the other party came from.
However, these people were very cautious. How could they carry out such tasks with objects that exposed their identities? But Lu Yun was still surprised. He found a confession from the man in Qing Dynasty's arms, which was actually the confession written by Yu Santai during his lifetime, and Yu Santai's handwritten seals and handprints.
Lu Yun was overjoyed and hurriedly put the confession in his arms, took Feiying and the others away, and returned to the Marquis' Mansion of Lantian County. As soon as Lu Yun arrived at the mansion, he hid Yu Santai's body like an ice cellar and frozen it. Then he wrote a letter and sent Jinli to Duke Lu's mansion.
That night, a man wearing a black cloak came to the outside of the Marquis' Mansion of Lantian County. The person came with a square face and a curly beard. He looked very tough. He reported his identity: Yu Song, the leader of the Duke of Lu's mansion. Lu Yun had met Yu Song. This guy was a master of battle formations. Every time Cheng Yaojin went on a war battle, he appointed Yu Song as the lieutenant of the guard. He was the most trustworthy person. Lu Yun had had several interactions with Cheng Yaojin recently, so he was no stranger to Yu Song.
Lu Yun took Yu Song's living room, and then asked Feiying to carry Yu Santai's body to the living room, untied the curtain wrapped around the body, revealing Yu Santai's body. Yu Song carefully checked it and nodded slowly, saying, "The appearance is quite similar to the wanted portrait, and from his age and the calluses on his hands, it can be seen that this person practiced martial arts a lot when he was young, so it should be Yu Santai."
Lu Yun handed Yu Santai's confession and said, "This is his confession."
Yu Song looked at the confession and frowned and shook his head: "According to the wishes of my master, it is unlikely that the prince would be convicted of this corpse and confession."
"Why!" Feiying beside him shouted anxiously, "What should I do if my master is still locked up!"
"Don't worry, this little brother." Yu Song raised his hand and said, "My master said that the Marquis of Li County has been removed from the suspicion and will be released from prison soon. Don't give up the body and confession, otherwise it will only cause the Marquis of Li County to get into trouble again."
Lu Yun was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Why is this? This confession clearly states that the person instructed him to live in the imperial city. In the imperial city, who else can there be except the crown prince!"
"Brother Lu, don't be excited first." Yu Song said slowly, "Youdao is the word "official". Those who are officials have the ability to reverse black and white. If Yu Santai is alive, it would be fine. He can testify, but now he is dead. It's all right and wrong that the officials say. They can say that this matter was planned by the Marquis of Li County, and the confession is also fake. Anyway, Yu Santai is dead now, and there is no evidence of death."
"Why...how is this happening!" Feiying shouted angrily when she heard this. They fought hard to rob Yu Santai. They thought that they could reverse the whole situation by getting a confession, but they didn't expect to hear such a blow to others.
Yu Song sighed helplessly: "The officialdom is so dark. After all... the person you are going to deal with is the prince, a county marquis, and a prince. Tell me, where will the ministers stand?"
The five members of the Flying Eagle Special Forces were silent when they heard this. They suddenly felt that Li Hao had a good ideological education at the beginning, so he was loyal to Li Hao. It was very good. Why did he be loyal to the Tang Dynasty? The future emperor of the Tang Dynasty did such despicable things. They felt very uncomfortable and very uncomfortable. Such a court and crown prince made them sad.
Feiying and the others were relatively simple, so they were sad after listening to Yu Song's words. Lu Yun was an old driver and understood these principles in seconds. He nodded and promised to properly handle the body and confession. Yu Song was relieved and said goodbye in a hurry and left.
That night, Lu Yun personally led someone to dismember Yu Song's body and abandon it. Yu Santai's head was thrown onto the official road outside Chang'an City. Although such behavior was a bit cruel, it was really nothing compared to the sins Yu Santai did.
The next morning, it was the Grand Chamber meeting. In the Tai Chi Hall, the Minister of Justice reported on the new progress of the poisoning case and found Yu Santai's head. The case entered a dead end.
Li Shimin looked very bad and asked the Ministry of Justice to continue to investigate the case. The Minister of Justice respectfully accepted the order, and then asked Li Shimin how to deal with Li Hao.
Now Li Hao is no longer suspicious. Li Shimin immediately waved his hand, and Li Hao and everyone from the Ji Fu Bone Shop in Xishi were acquitted. All the documents were reported and then issued.
Less than an hour after the court meeting dispersed, the official documents of Li Hao were released to the Ministry of Justice. The Minister of Justice personally brought people to the Ministry of Justice to release Li Hao and others. Li Hao walked out of the prison. The warden removed the torture instruments for Li Hao and bowed and said, "Marquis of Li County, you can be released from prison."
Li Hao walked outside Hou Junji's cell and looked at Hou Junji. Hou Junji also looked up at him resentfully. The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment. Li Hao bowed to Hou Junji and said calmly: "Sir Hou, I will take the lead and I wish you a good time to get out of prison as soon as possible."
These seemingly polite and warm farewell words and congratulations were extremely harsh in Hou Junji's ears. He had said that Li Hao could not get out of the Ministry of Justice prison, but now he was slapped in the face.
After Li Hao walked out of the Ministry of Justice, he couldn't help but look back. The gloomy prison door was like the mouth of a giant beast. How many thieves and nobles had lost their lives here. It was really not easy for him to walk out in a hurry.
Lu Yun was waiting for Li Hao outside the prison. Seeing that Li Hao looked back, he stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Why, it's not like the Dali Temple prison. Are you addicted to going to jail?"
"No." Li Hao smiled indifferently and said slowly, "I was just thinking that I have been in jail for so many years, and it seems that it is enough. I won't go to jail in the future."
Lu Yun looked stern when he heard this. He seemed to be serious when he heard Li Hao's words. Only Lu Yun knew that Li Hao had never been serious in the past few years. Maybe it was because of laziness, or maybe it was because of other reasons.
Li Hao went to take a shower when he got home. After staying in prison for so many days without taking a shower, his body was stuck and he felt so uncomfortable. Even he disliked the smell on his body.
However, he was in a state of great pleasure. Lu Yun suddenly rushed into the bathroom and said in a deep voice: "Young Master, someone is coming from the palace!"
"Ah?" Li Hao was confused when he heard this, and hurried back to the private room to dry his body, dressed neatly, and then came to the front yard like a gust of wind.
I saw that the front yard was full of people, all of Jinwu Guards guarding the palace, and Xu Lian stood in front.
"Li Hao, the Marquis of Lantian County, received the order!" Xu Lian shouted loudly when he saw Li Hao coming out.
Li Hao quickly took everyone to salute: "My minister Li Hao received the order."
Xu Lian shouted loudly: "According to the emperor's oral order, I will give Li Hao a glass of fine wine in Lantian County." While speaking, a Jinwu Guard was carrying a tray and out of the row. On the tray was placed a golden carved wine glass, which was very exquisite. The wine in the cup swayed and shined in the sun.
