The men walked forward and handed it over to him, "Sir, we found this."
"Iron brand?"
Li Yang looked at it carefully and saw that the patterns carved on it were somewhat special and the texture was complex. Moreover, each of them had one, which was a token at first sight.
"Who are you?"
The man who was tied up sneered, "You can kill or chop him up if you want."
Li Yang knew these people best and would not tell them even if he killed them.
"Are you guys foreign enemies?" Li Yang guessed.
The rebels had been mostly dealt with. These people didn't look like locals, so Li Yang felt that they must be foreign enemies.
The person who assassinated Qin Yushuang was startled for a moment, "King Yi Xing is indeed smart, but so what if he guesses correctly."
He laughed, maybe out of despair, or maybe because he was too injured, in short he was going crazy.
Seeing him like this, Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
Then the rest of the people are equally useless.
Of course Li Yang has a way.
He came to another man.
There is a burning charcoal next to Li Yang, and the soldering iron on it is burning brightly.
This man also had several burns on his body. He lowered his head to one side, and his messy hair covered his face.
Li Yang stood still in front of him, "If you tell the truth, I can promise you something, such as settling down your family, giving your family a sum of money, or leaving you a complete body. Bury it, as long as you can think of it, I can promise you."
Assassinating the emperor is a capital crime. None of these people will survive, but if they can leave some money for their families, it is a profit.
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes flashed, and he turned his head to look at Li Yang.
His face was shaking, and it took him a long time to say a few words, "Really, really?"
"Of course it's true. I keep my word." Li Yang said firmly, without any evasion in his eyes.
He knew he wouldn't survive, so he believed what Li Yang said.
"good……"
"I said……"
This person told Li Yang all about their purpose and origin.
They were indeed foreign enemies, and Li Yang was right.
But when he was about to say who the culprit was, a poisonous needle struck and pierced the man's neck.
Li Yang looked in the direction and saw just a dark shadow flashing past where he was just now.
"Catch up."
The elite soldiers chased the man in the direction of his escape.
Li Yang turned around, only to find that the man was no longer breathing.
But Li Yang initially suspected that the spy should be Prime Minister Wen.
"Go and call Prime Minister Wen, and tell him it's His Majesty's order."
"If someone disobeys the will, he will be escorted directly."
"yes."
He is the King of Ignorance, and even if he is to pass orders, his level is not high enough.
Afterwards, Li Yang returned to Qin Yushuang and reported the thorough investigation to her.
…
Prime Minister Wen realized that the incident had been exposed and was about to return to his residence to clean up his mood, but was blocked by elite soldiers.
"Master Wen, please come with us."
Prime Minister Wen put on airs, "Why do I want to go with you?"
"Your Majesty has issued an order that Mr. Wen must come with us."
There is no way, disobedience will lead to deeper sin.
He could only follow these officers and soldiers into the palace.
"Don't touch me, I will leave."
Prime Minister Wen was captured and interrogated.
He was escorted here not without any preparation.
"What does your Majesty mean by this? Why did you send troops to arrest me? I really don't understand."
"Master Wen really doesn't know why I want you to come?" Qin Yushuang said in a cold voice.
"I don't know, Your Majesty, please tell me clearly." Prime Minister Wen's ability to withstand pressure is by no means that simple. He is very calm and will never reveal his secrets first.
"Then let me tell you why I summoned you. An assassin came into the palace today to assassinate me. After investigation, Prime Minister Wen's behavior was the most suspicious, and it was also the closest time for the assassin to attack me. What else does Mr. Wen have? Want to say something?”
"Your Majesty, do you have any evidence? How dare I do such a treasonous thing? I am the prime minister, and I dare not do such a disloyal thing."
Prime Minister Wen replied in a loud voice, standing there with an unyielding look.
Li Yang raised his eyebrows and said: "Prime Minister Wen is really awe-inspiring. Your Majesty is giving you a chance. If you admit it, you will be forgiven, so Mr. Wen must not miss such a good opportunity. "
"It's nonsense, I didn't do it, why should I admit it?" Prime Minister Wen's eyes seemed to want to eat Li Yang.
"Then how do you explain Mr. Wen? The timing is consistent, and the New Year gifts you have given me over the years are either vases or calligraphy and paintings. In short, they are priceless and unique. Why did you skip the preparation this year?"
It’s not that the gift is downgraded, it’s that the change is questionable.
"If we talk about time, then the remaining leaders of the previous dynasty are still following closely behind. Isn't he worthy of suspicion?"
"The New Year's gift I gave you this year is the result of my hard thinking. I want your Majesty to pay more attention to your health. It looks like deer antlers, but in fact they are precious medicinal materials and are not local. Mr. Li said that the gift is a bit too much. It’s random, I’m very sad.”
"Don't your Majesty like the New Year's gift from me? This is my great kindness."
Prime Minister Wen looked at His Majesty and said sincerely.
"My lords?" Qin Yushuang murmured in a low voice. She shook her head, "Impossible. Your lords will not collude with foreign enemies to assassinate me."
She has a pretty good relationship with the adults. The adults once mentioned the late emperor in front of her and said that her style of doing things was very similar to that of the late emperors and that she would definitely be a good saint in the future.
How could such a warm and jade-like adult harm her?
The masters were from the previous dynasty and usually didn't talk much, but Qin Yushuang could tell that he was sincerely doing good for Dayan, so this Prime Minister Wen must be biting randomly.
"I don't believe that you would harm me. Prime Minister Wen, just based on you, I am very suspicious of you."
Prime Minister Wen immediately became confused, his eyes panicked, "How could your Majesty say that?"
At this moment, some elite soldiers walked in.
"King Qi Yi Xing, we found this among the lords."
This thing is exactly the iron brand worn by foreign enemies.
Now that the evidence is there, Prime Minister Wen can continue to quibble. In order to clarify the matter for the adults, Li Yang asked Qin Yushuang for instructions.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to call the adults?"
"It's time to call all the adults to come and restore his innocence."
After listening to Qin Yushuang's order, Li Yang sent a few elite soldiers to invite the adults.
At this time, Prime Minister Wen was already devastated. He felt that his false accusations against the adults were in vain and he would have to tell the truth today. Fortunately, he was still prepared, and he might be able to change His Majesty's mind.
But the elite soldiers returned disappointed and said, "Your Majesty, all the gentlemen have escaped."
"What? Escape? How is that possible?" Qin Yushuang said unexpectedly.
