Li Yi held the fan in his hand. His face was gloomy, and there was no fear in his eyes.
"Li Lange, what do you mean?"
"You said that I have designs on your Li family's grain and military pay?”
"And you're framing me for killing Li Qi?"
Li Lange narrowed her eyes. Li Yi was not afraid at all.
She was furious!
"Half a month ago, when my father accepted the task of escorting the rations and military pay and handed it to me, he asked my adopted brother to escort it with me!”
"You intentionally or unintentionally tried to build a relationship with your adopted brother, saying bad things about my Li family to your adopted brother. You wanted your adopted brother to smuggle out the grain and military pay and push everything on me!”
"Unfortunately, you have the wrong idea. Our Li family members will never fight against external enemies!”
After hearing this, Zhou De was so scared that he was covered in cold sweat. He looked at Li Yi in disbelief.
"Taking grain and military pay is a great crime!”
"Moreover, the grain and military pay are all transported to the front line to provide for the soldiers!”
"How dare you!"
Li Yi's heart was too dark!
If he really schemed to steal the rations and military pay, then the front line would definitely be in chaos!
The Great Tang was only maintaining peace on the surface. If the enemy realized that something was wrong, they would definitely take the opportunity to attack!
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Li Yi could not help but clap his hands when he heard this. His eyes were like eagle eyes as he stared straight at Li Lange.
"What a good brother of the Li family, never causing internal strife!”
"What a good accusation!"
"Li Lange, your few words are so light, yet you actually pinned such a big crime on me!”
"I told you, if you really think I'm the murderer, kill Li Qi, or have designs on the rations and military pay, show me the evidence!”
"Without evidence, you can make up whatever you want. I don't have the mood to accompany you guys in this mess!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi looked at everyone coldly, flicked his sleeves, and turned around to leave!
Zhou De quickly stopped him.
"Li Yi, you're an important suspect now. You can't leave!”
Li Yi did not look afraid and smiled.
"You don't have enough evidence to detain me just based on the act these two put on!”
Li Yi's expression was arrogant. As soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to leave!
Li Yu looked at Li Yi's back and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"Why? Are you in such a hurry to leave because you're in a hurry to deal with the evidence that hasn't been eliminated in time?”
Li Yi stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Li Yu.
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
Li Yu chuckled and looked at Li Yi with a dangerous expression.
"Since you insist on holding on to the evidence, I'll make sure you admit defeat.”
Li Yu raised his hand, his voice cold.
"Capture the suspect, Li Yi!"
"He had time to deal with the murder weapon, but he didn't have time to wash off the blood on his body when he killed someone or change it to something else for us to notice!”
Li Yi's expression changed when he heard this. He raised his feet and was about to rush out.
Zhou De quickly waved his hand.”
A few soldiers swarmed up and pressed Li Yi down!
She started to check his clothes.
Li Yi's face was pressed to the ground, and half of his head was tilted!
His face was ashen with anger!
"I am the son of Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao, and you are treating me like this.”
"When my father reports to His Majesty, he will definitely not forgive you!”
Zhou De's face darkened. He raised his hand at the hesitant soldier.
"Search carefully!"
Who cares whose son he is!
Even if he was the current Crown Prince, His Majesty would have to kill him directly for daring to have designs on grain and military pay!
Everyone's eyes fell on Li Yi.
A few soldiers pressed him down and pulled out a bloodstained silk handkerchief from his chest. His sleeves were stained with blood.
The soldier looked up at Li Yu.
"Sir, I found it!"
"There are bloodstains on both of his sleeves, and the silk handkerchief in his hand is also stained with blood!”
Li Yu smiled and looked at Li Yi.
"Didn't you want evidence? Now that I've placed the evidence in front of you, do you still have anything to say?”
Li Yi's face was livid as he looked at Li Yu with hatred!
"Li Yu, you actually ruined my plans!”
"I won't let you off easily!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou De raised his hand, and the soldier covered Li Yi's mouth.
Zhou De pulled up his sleeves and looked very serious.
"Escort him back to the Supreme Court's prison!"
"This official wants to enter the palace to ask His Majesty for an edict!”
It did not matter if Li Yi had stolen the rations and military pay, just the thought of killing Li Qi was already very serious!
Moreover, who could be sure that this was done by Li Yi alone, or that the Prince of Zhao, Li Xiaogong, had the intention to rebel!
When Zhou De thought of this, his heart trembled. The capital was becoming more and more chaotic!
Zhou De cupped his hands towards Li Yu.
"Li Yu, I'll have to trouble you to clean up after this.”
Li Yu nodded. Zhou De left in a hurry!
Li Yi was also taken away by the soldiers!
Everyone in the surroundings dissipated.
Li Qi's corpse was still on the table.
Li Lange looked at his silent adopted brother, her eyes red as she clenched her fists.
Li Yu reached out and closed Li Qi's eyes, sighing.
"The autopsy has ended. Young Master Li's death is a tragedy.”
"I will send people to transport Young Master Li's body to General Li's residence.”
"He deserves a grand burial."
Li Lange nodded and choked.
"Alright."
She watched as the soldiers carried her adopted brother's body away. Her father had not returned to the capital yet. If he knew, he would be extremely sad!
Princess Ping Yang stood silently behind her and looked at her disciple. She could not expose her identity today and went forward to comfort her!
Di Renjie lowered his head and bowed to apologize to Li Lange.
Li Yu pursed his lips and a thought flashed through his mind.
"What did you mean when you said that your adopted brother had already guessed Li Yi's true motive?”
Li Lange rubbed her eyes and said.
"Recently, adopted brother has discovered that Li Yi is secretly recruiting soldiers and buying horses. I'm afraid he wants to transport away the grain and military pay. However, now that Li Yi has been captured, he should be fine!”
Li Yu's expression changed when he heard this.
"Do you know where he hid the soldiers and men he bought?”
Li Lan Ge was shocked by Li Yu's expression and pointed outside,
"It's in a mortuary south of the city.”
Li Yu took out his waist token and handed it to Di Renjie.
"Now, use your fastest speed to mobilize troops and arrest all of them!”
Di Renjie's expression tensed up when he heard that. He nodded with the waist token and ran out quickly.
Li Lan Ge looked at Li Yu," But…but what's the matter?"”
Li Yu's expression was solemn.
"I'm afraid that the rations and military pay might not be able to be preserved.”
Li Lange's eyes darkened,"But Li Yi has already caught it..."
At this moment, a soldier ran towards them!
"Milord, bad news!"
"On the way to the palace, Lord Zhou was…was shot by an arrow and fell from his horse.”
