Early the next morning, Li Yi led Sun Ce and others to worship.

There were not many guests coming and going today to pay their respects, and there were only monks and nuns doing rituals in the mourning hall. Li Yi was not familiar with the family members of Wang Zhixian, but they had met the day before yesterday, and could only face the sad Mrs. Wang in silence.

The mourning hall was completely white, with cigarette smoke lingering, and monks and nuns chanting continuously. On both sides of the coffin, there was only one person kneeling alone, which seemed a little lonely. Wang Zhixian got married after he achieved fame, and his wife was not pregnant for many years, so there was no

Heir. Because no relatives came to help, the scene was very lonely. Only Mrs. Wang looked dull and knelt beside the coffin.

Due to the chanting of monks and nuns, Mrs. Wang didn't notice until Li Yi came closer. She just looked at Li Yi with a blank face and stood up: "Master Li."

Mrs. Wang's face was haggard, and her eyes were red and swollen, which seemed to be the result of being overly sad and crying day and night.

Li Yi couldn't help but feel depressed. He nodded slightly, glanced at the futon next to the coffin, and then glanced at Mrs. Wang who was a little weak, and said: "When the county lord was alive, he treated the boy as a kinsman and nephew.

"Now that I have passed away, if you have any difficulties, Madam, just tell me."

The day before yesterday, when Wang Zhixian woke up, he asked Li Yi. Mrs. Wang also knew about it and understood that this man had a close relationship with her husband. She just thought that she was widowed in middle age and what would she expect if her husband died, so she had no idea.

He nodded and said nothing.

Li Yi's expression darkened, and after finishing the incense, he slowly withdrew.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he said to Sun Ce behind him: "Wang Zhixian is an upright official and doesn't have much savings. Later, you can pay 500 taels of silver from the Fuguo Society and give it to Mrs. Wang."

Sun Ce also knew that Wang Zhixian was a good official and respected him very much. He nodded and agreed without saying anything.

Just when Li Yi was explaining, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door, and then a group of people walked in slowly.

Li Yi turned around and saw Lin Zongming, Wang Changlin and others surrounding Zhang Heng in. Zhang Heng was wearing a crimson official robe and his face was silent. He was not surprised at all when he saw Li Yi, because he was coming for Li Yi.

of.

Mrs. Wang, who came to see off the guests, saw that it was the Censor. She had already stood up and got down to face Zhang Hengfu.

But Zhang Heng seemed not to have seen him, and walked directly towards Li Yi, with a smile on his face, and said: "Chengfeng Lang values ​​​​love and friendship, so he has come so long ago."

Looking at Zhang Heng in front of him, Li Yi was not panicked, but instead had a cold look in his eyes.

At this time, people came to the house to express their condolences. Zhang Heng was dressed as a government official and came here surrounded by people like this. He was here to express his condolences. He was obviously here to handle a case.

In order to prevent the traces of myself from being lost, I came here to block people, disrespecting the dead and the living. I really didn't have any ethics at all.

Of course, Zhang Heng knew that there was something wrong with what he was doing, but in any case, it was most appropriate to block Li Yi here. Otherwise, when he returns to Fuguo Society, if he escapes secretly or leads others to resist, he will suffer. In this case

In comparison, it can only disturb Wang Zhixian's funeral.

Zhang Heng was a little surprised to see that Li Yi was not panicked at all, but was waiting for him. At this time, he had time to say to Mrs. Wang next to him: "Madam, get up quickly. Wang Zhixian died of a sudden illness. But,

Thanks a lot."

Mrs. Wang came from a wealthy family and had a weak temperament. Although she knew that her husband's death had something to do with Zhang Heng, she just stood up and said: "My husband passed away, as it should be. But I never expected that my husband devoted himself to working hard and doing things for the people."

After doing so many good things, she was injured to the point of death. The woman looked at her husband's injured and injured body, and her heart was almost broken. She only thought about the person who did it, then... is that still a human being? "

Zhang Heng's expression was slightly stiff. He did feel guilty about the death of Wang Zhixian, but the officialdom was ups and downs, life and death were determined, and he didn't have many inner demons.

Thinking of what he had to do today, Zhang Heng said: "I have some official duties here today. I just want to pay my respects to the magistrate Wang after finishing them."

Mrs. Wang didn't know the meaning of Zhang Heng's words, and her face was confused.

"Li Yi, do you know your guilt?" At this time, Zhang Heng looked at Li Yi and his tone suddenly became stern.

Li Yi's eyes turned cold and he said angrily: "Why is this, sir?"

Zhang Heng had long expected Li Yi's answer, and immediately said: "You incited the victims to fight against the government. Everyone knows this. At this time, do you still want to pretend to be crazy?"

If you are a tactful person, you have to go out and talk to yourself if you want to be questioned. Why is it that when he is asked like this in front of the mourning hall, Mrs. Wang is extremely angry next to her, and even the people around her who come to express condolences frown.

Zhang Heng had something on his mind at that time and did not think of this. At that time, he only focused on questioning the guilt and found nothing wrong.

Li Yi was not panicked. He looked at Zhang Heng and Wang Changlin and others beside him, and said: "Sir, there are no rules here. Let's talk about it when we go out."

Zhang Heng sneered and said: "Go out and talk? You should go to the prison to confess your sins and be punished."

Li Yi saw Zhang Heng vowing not to give up, and a trace of anger flashed across his face. He didn't want to disturb the peace of the mourning hall, but Zhang Heng didn't care.

At that moment, he glanced at Zhang Heng with some doubts and said: "Master Zhang is old and I know it, but I am not as energetic as I am now, and I am also suffering from psychedelic syndrome, right? I just heard about the disaster victim's death."

I learned that I had not gone to Yaoshan before, so why did my lord come here like this today, so I raised an army to question him, but I didn’t understand.”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng snorted and said: "What an excuse. You are fooling me like this when you are an official. Everyone knows your reputation among the victims. The victims of the disasters rebelled against the government the day before yesterday. Anyone who can incite the victims except

You, who else? Don’t lose your innocence, the evidence of your innocence will be clear after my interrogation.”

"You want to arrest me?" Li Yi frowned when he heard this: "There is no real evidence and no identification, so your Excellency is going to arrest the official?"

Zhang Heng snorted coldly and said: "This is a serious crime of treason. There is no need for you to delay at all. Just go with me."

After saying this, many soldiers suddenly appeared behind him and stood between the two of them.

Li Yi had long seen that Zhang Heng was surrounded by expert guards. He was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the officers and soldiers, and just looked at Zhang Heng coldly.

Only Lin Zongming and Wang Changlin had seen Li Yi's skills. They had been hiding far away just now. When they saw the officers and soldiers pouring in, they suddenly became determined and shouted: "Arrest Li Yi."

As soon as the words came out, the two of them seemed to be running away.

Many elite soldiers rushed forward, mostly from Xue Lianjing's camp.

A burly soldier walked up to Li Yi. He thought he was dealing with a master this time, but he didn't expect that he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. His interest suddenly waned, and he just grabbed Li Yi fiercely.

Li Yi's expression did not change at all. With a flash of his palm, he clamped the sergeant's jaw and applied a slight force. The sergeant who had just stood like an iron tower suddenly fell to his knees, his face too painful to stand.

Xue Lian's expression suddenly changed and he said loudly: "Don't underestimate the enemy, attack them all."

After saying that, he pulled Zhang Heng back again and again.

Nearly a hundred sergeants stepped forward quickly. When they saw the result of their companions, their expressions dropped their contempt. They all stared at Li Yi solemnly and surrounded him.

Sun Ce's face turned pale and he said loudly: "We are officials of the imperial court, and we are innocent. Who dares to come forward?"

At that time, these words were a joke to the sergeant's ears. Fortunately, they knew in advance that the scholar could not be harmed. At that moment, one of them pushed Sun Cerium away with his arm. Sun Cerium was unsteady on his feet and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Li Yi's face was calm. He did not try to break out of the encirclement as Zhang Heng and others thought. Instead, he stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "What you want is my life, Li Yi. If you have the ability, just take it."

Zhang Heng was slightly surprised when he heard this, but Wang Changlin was heartbroken that he had been killed by Li Yi before. He lost his usual composure and shouted: "Li Yi is very skilled, sir, please don't fall into his trap."

Hearing this shout, Zhang Heng immediately stepped back in panic.

Everyone present looked shocked when they saw Li Yi not moving at all and Zhang Heng and others who retreated hastily.
