Chapter 812: What Should Not Be Ignored (Part 1)
Even though Li Ling's heart was tough, this sudden change made him discolored when it happened. At the same time, in addition to being angry, he felt deeply afraid.
It is obvious that Hu Shenjue died after drinking poisoned wine, which means that there is something wrong with the wine in the wine pot he brought. Li Ling was planning to drink a glass of it with him just now. If this sip of wine is really drunk, he is afraid that he will die on the spot like Hu Shenjue!
"Come!" Li Ling's eyes turned to Hu Yuanjue and shouted decisively. Li Moyun and the others were outside the hall and they had to take down the person as soon as possible. No more accidents!
In just a short moment, Li Ling, who was quickly calming down, had made a judgment that this matter must have nothing to do with Hu Yuanjue. His sudden surrender and show of goodwill was so strange, not to mention that Hu Shenjue came to toast him was caused by him.
Also, there was no problem with the wine at Hu Shenjue's hand. It was Hu Yuanjue's seemingly unintentional collision that brought the pot of deadly poisonous wine, and it was also what he asked for. If he had not carefully designed and arranged by Hu Yuanjue, Li Ling would not believe it.
Therefore, this person must be taken down immediately! He, a Hu family, is afraid that he does not have such tricks and courage. There must be someone behind him who will instruct him to ask the truth!
In fact, Li Ling didn't need to shout and give orders. Just screaming in the hall. When he was in a mess, more than a dozen guards guarding outside the hall had already rushed in decisively. After seeing the dead in front of Li Ling, their faces changed drastically. They didn't care about anything else and quickly approached him. However, there were obstacles along the way, they were all knocked down one by one.
When they came to the front, Li Ling decisively ordered: "Take him down!" It was referring to Hu Yuanjue, who was pale and looked at the desperate Hu Yuanjue. Yang Zhen immediately stepped in front of him, and he held him with his hands and pressed him on the table, causing the food and food on the table to overturn and all the food on his body and face, making Hu Yuanjue, who was originally of good temperament, suddenly became embarrassed, but at this time he didn't even struggle, as if he was frightened by this incident.
"Young master, are you okay?" Li Moyun blocked Li Ling and squatted on Hu Shenjue and looked at him. After confirming that the other party was dead, his eyes trembled even more, "It's because we are not well-off guards, so please punish me."
"It's not your business." Li Ling calmed down completely and quickly swept his eyes over the Hu family around him, "Look at them, don't let anyone go. Also, go to the government office to transfer people and take them to the trial."
"Yes." Someone immediately agreed on the side.
It was not until this time that Li Ling looked at the guys who served dishes and vegetables next to him. The one he saved just now was a dried fruit. Judging from the route, it should be from there: "Which hero has rescued Li Ling, please show up and see me, so I can thank my savior."
As he said this, many guards also focused on the other side. Many guys were so scared that they were trembling. At this time, they were even more at a loss and hid back. There was only one person. As everyone was paying attention, his temperament suddenly changed. His body, which was originally hunched and humble, was even more vicious and vicious.
"Master!"
"Senior Shao..."
When Li Moyun and Li Ling saw some things on their faces, they showed their true face and cried out one after another.
The man who was mixed up with the mate and saved Li Ling. At this time, it was Shao Qiuxi, which made Li Ling and others feel a little surprised. It seems that the act of saving Li Ling easily with a dried fruit just now became extremely reasonable.
By the way, the relationship between Shao Qiuxi and Li Ling has always been close and separated, and has not really been to Li Ling for his use. However, in order to repay Li Ling's favor for saving him and for a common goal, he always appears around Li Ling. Once he is in danger, he will always be rescued.
This time, this time, if it weren't for his action, Li Ling would have turned into a corpse like Hu Shenjue.
However, this made people even more curious. Even Li Ling didn't know such a conspiracy, so how did he know? So after the official meeting, Li Ling expressed his questions without hesitation.
Shao Qiuxi's face was solemn: "I have been secretly catching some of the actions of the Luotian Sect these days, but just two days ago, the person who found the shadow connected with him." As he said that, he pointed at Hu Yuanjue, who had been tied up by a rope. The latter was even more shocked when he heard this, and now he was completely desperate.
Li Ling also frowned in surprise: "Luo Tian Sect..." Only then did he realize what the source of his uneasiness was, it was this Luo Tian Sect!
This is a real flies like a flies who are chasing the stinky slaughter. As long as there is a little storm, you can see the figure of the Luotian Sect's traitors - this is like this in the southwest, the south of the Yangtze River, and the northern border before... But this time in Huguang, people in various places have already died of disasters and have not seen them come out to make trouble. This is obviously very unreasonable.
Just because he had too many things to deal with, Li Ling was completely focused on how to compete with those corrupt officials and profiteers, and actually ignored this biggest enemy.
Now I know how serious my negligence is. If it weren't for Shao Qiuxi and taking action in time, I would be afraid that I would have been killed by the conspiracy of Luo Tian Cult.
Fearing, Li Ling quickly asked again: "Does Senior Shao know where they are hiding now? Hu Yuanjue is also a member of the Luotian Sect?"
"No, he is not, he is just right. I discovered this when I followed Shadow's whereabouts. I wanted to warn you, but it was too late. Fortunately, I got in here and found that someone had prepared poisoned wine, so I could only knock over your wine glass. But the real poisoned man left early in the chaos." Shao Qiuxi said with a wry smile.
The assassin who wanted to use a knife to kill someone to prepare poisoned wine was one of the major disciples of the Shadow Protector who specialized in assassination. His other skills may not be too strong, but escaping and escaping was awesome. Shao Qiuxi was busy saving Li Ling, so he had to let him go first.
"Thank you, Senior Shao, for helping you again. Li Ling is unforgettable." Li Ling hurriedly bowed and saluted, "But I don't know what your plans are next?"
"I found some inside information and was about to talk to you in detail." Shao Qiuxi said with a solemn expression, "In this way, you can deal with the matter in front of you first, and I will talk to you in detail later."
"Okay." Li Ling agreed immediately. He could see that making Shao Qiuxi so serious must be a major event that has an important connection with the Luotian Sect.
After they finished speaking, the government office arrived quickly. When they heard that Lord Li was assassinated, Wang Yaochen and other officials were scared to death. They quickly ordered the troops and brought the people to come over in person. They did not breathe a sigh of relief until they saw that Li Ling was safe.
Then after some talk, they were even more furious and immediately escorted the Hu family to the government office according to Li Ling's wishes. At the same time, they also sealed the Taibai Building, and the shopkeepers and friends were also arrested to the government office. At least they had to be found out that the poisoning had nothing to do with the restaurant before they could let them go back.
After such a busy life, it was late at night, but Li Ling did not go to bed, but came to the cell where Hu Yuanjue was imprisoned. Looking at the guy who had been punished and covered in blood, he said, "I really can't understand why you made such a decision. You are not from the Luotian Sect, so why did you cooperate with them? Also, don't you know what the consequences will be for killing the imperial officials?"
After the torture and interrogation just now, Hu Yuanjue had already explained all the truth truth.
As Shao Qiuxi said, he had contact with the Luotian Sect outside Suizhou City, and learned from them that Li Ling's identity and everything that happened in the city, including Li Ling's possession of everything, and even several officials sent by the Governor's Office were arrested by him one after another, and the food could no longer fall into the hands of his Hu family.
This made Hu Yuanjue very nervous, and then he was bewitched by the Luotian Sect and designed to get rid of Li Ling. For this reason, he even used the trick of false surrender, and later he even used his brother's life to poison him. Unfortunately, he failed in the end and was captured alive on the spot, without even having a chance to argue.
How could he, a local merchant, resist the tortures in the face of the Imperial City Department?
When Li Ling asked this, he coughed again and spitted out two mouthfuls of blood: "Mr. Li, you are arrogant, so naturally you won't understand the situation of the little people like me. Do you know that in the cracks between you officials, the small businesses are so humble. If one is bad, it will be the end of the family being killed.
"You forced the robbery of the food belonging to my Hu family before, which has already made us sinners in front of the governor. If we cannot make the merits and punishments, our Hu family will definitely not have a foothold in Wuchang.
"But in the end, the foreign merchant who thought he had only some methods was actually an imperial official. This made me completely desperate, not only for my Hu family, but also for myself, because when I came, I had already boasted about Haikou and would not go back if I failed... Just when I was desperate, someone pointed out a way for me, a path that could turn around the current situation even though it was dangerous. Since that's the case, why can't I take a risk?"
Li Ling stared at him with no mercy, only hatred: "A family like you who are greedy and who can completely ignore the king's law and the lives of others for their own selfish interests should suffer a catastrophe.
"To be honest, it's still a good thing for me now. I'm worried that I can't find any more crimes to attack you and the forces behind you. But now, there is a Luotian Sect, which is a rebellion that the court must wipe out. I'm afraid that this crime will be irreparable if it falls to anyone."
