The emperor is coming, thundering!
The faces of the soldiers in the Beijing camp who had been arrogant and domineering just now changed with shock. They all took a step back, and then immediately knelt down in unison, "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Li Yilong looked like a tiger with sharp eyes, scanning the thousands of soldiers in front of him, his momentum not diminishing at all.
"Your Beijing camp is my emperor's army. You dare to force the palace to rebel tonight. Are you tired of living?"
With an angry shout, thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp were shocked and frightened.
The leading officer raised his head tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please be clear that we are not forcing the palace to rebel, we just want an explanation!"
"Want to explain?"
Li Yi snorted coldly, "If you want to speak out, you still need to carry swords and guns, and you also besiege my imperial army and expose your sword in front of the emperor. What kind of crime is it? You don't know?"
His voice was calm and indifferent, but it contained great pressure, making people shudder.
There was a "clang" sound.
The leading officer was so frightened that he dropped the long knife in his hand and fell to the ground, "Your Majesty, I definitely didn't mean to do this. I hope your Majesty will forgive me."
The other soldiers in the Beijing camp abandoned their weapons one after another and did not dare to raise their heads.
Li Yi winked, and Lu Hancheng immediately led the imperial army forward and surrounded the soldiers of the Beijing camp who had laid down their weapons.
Seeing this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally dropped halfway.
The same was true for Cao Qingyan behind him. Looking at the young emperor in front of him, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he was really lucky to meet the Ming Lord again!
With a few light words, the fierce soldiers from the Beijing camp actually surrendered on the spot. How amazing!
"snort!"
Li Yi snorted coldly and said: "What nonsense do you want to say? It was my intention to arrest Xia Dehe. Xia Dehe's family committed suicide out of fear of crime. He is already dead. Whatever you want to do, he has lived enough!"
The leading officer had a hot temper and immediately refused to accept the decision. He clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if you can arrest someone, arrest them. Why did Old General Xia and his whole family die tragically, and even the mansion was burned to the ground? Old General Xia was at fault, but he should be tried. Why would you kill someone directly?"
Several other officers also showed anger, "Your Majesty, this is really strange. General Xia died unjustly. Your Majesty, please take a closer look?"
"That's right, someone must have avenged himself and murdered General Xia's family. Please ask Your Majesty to investigate clearly, find out the truth, and comfort the souls of General Xia and his family!"
Thousands of soldiers from the capital camp shouted in unison, "Please give justice to General Xia, Your Majesty!"
How could Li Yi not know the thoughts of these soldiers? He was also a soldier. If it were him, his old superior and old general died inexplicably, he would not be able to swallow this breath!
I would rather die than seek justice!
This is a soldier!
Moreover, this is probably not only the meaning of these thousands of soldiers in the capital camp, but also the meaning of the entire capital army!
Li Yi narrowed his eyes, glanced around, and saw that these soldiers were just angry, and then realized that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed!
There must be someone behind the scenes who is deliberately fanning the flames and doing it on purpose.
Now that the old General Xia Dehe is dead, there is no evidence of his death. Even if Deputy Admiral Ma Chen is used as a tainted witness, he may not be able to convince these angry soldiers.
This is troublesome!
The atmosphere was so oppressive that it felt suffocating.
Li Yi suppressed the panic in his heart and tried to tell himself to be calm. If he messed up, it would be completely over. If he aroused the anger of the army, it would lead to the destruction of the country. Wouldn't this be the enemy's trap?
Taking a deep breath, he faced the many soldiers of the Beijing camp and said in a solemn tone: "Old General Xia Dehe has great military achievements and is powerful in the world. He swept across Yunei, expanded the territory, and made countless military exploits for our Dafeng Dynasty. He is the true leader of Dafeng. God of War!"
These words immediately resonated with the soldiers in the Beijing camp. Many of General Xia's subordinates lowered their heads in sadness. The man would not shed tears easily, but he was not sad yet. Only they knew that General Xia had come to this day. How difficult it is.
But his tone changed, "But do you know that General Xia Dehe is the biggest protector of Longmen in the capital!"
As soon as these words came out, the sky shook and became silent!
All the soldiers in the Beijing camp were shocked.
After a brief moment of silence, a soldier shouted in disbelief: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. The old general loves his soldiers as much as his own children and lives and eats with rough guys like me. How could he be the protector of those beasts!"
"Yes, it's impossible. It must be a frame-up. Someone framed the old general!"
"The old general has always been thrifty. The court has not paid salaries for several months. The old general used his own money to sell his family property and pay us salaries. How could he do such an unconscionable thing!"
"This must be someone's treacherous plot. Someone is deliberately trying to smear the old general. I beg your majesty to find out what's going on!"
"..."
Seeing this situation, Li Yi became more and more troubled. These soldiers had simple temperaments, but they could also be easily taken advantage of. Look, aren't they being used as guns?
"Your deputy admiral Ma Chen has reported this matter to me. Do you have any objections?"
A soldier was very dissatisfied and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Chen has always been at odds with General Xia. Who knows if he is deliberately slandering General Xia."
"That is, Ma Chen himself has disappeared. Who knows that he was not coerced by others and told lies to deceive His Majesty!"
"That's right, Ma Chen is just a scholar who is good at writing, but what he says cannot be trusted!"
Li Yi frowned. How did these soldiers know about Ma Chen's disappearance?
He had arranged for the internal surveillance to capture Ma Chen an hour ago. In just one hour, even these soldiers knew about it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat broke out down his spine, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. The enemy's hands and eyes could reach the sky!
He was able to know every move he made in such a short period of time, and he was able to take advantage of it!
He even took the opportunity to make a fuss about this matter!
This method is really terrible!
But how could Li Yi admit defeat and immediately said: "Okay, you can trust me!"
The soldiers in the Beijing camp were stunned for a moment, and then they all shouted: "Believe in Your Majesty, we believe in Your Majesty!"
"Okay, I will make you give up today and give you justice!"
"All soldiers in the capital camp obey orders!"
"promise……"
"Follow me to General Xia's residence!"
A group of people marched straight to General Xia's mansion. If they want to convince these soldiers, they can only have iron-clad evidence.
Li Yi believed that no matter how cautious the enemy was, they would definitely leave clues.
Not letting these Beijing soldiers believe it will inevitably make them lose confidence in themselves and the court. That is the real disaster!
At this time, the Xia Mansion was completely burned to the ground, and there were charred corpses lying on the ground, which was shocking.
Li Yi checked and found that although these people died of poisoning, they still had wounds pierced by swords. It can be seen that these people had been fed poison, and they were afraid that they would not die, so they chopped the corpses with swords. .
So vicious!
But this does not mean that General Xia is the protective umbrella of Longmen.
"Who was the first to arrive at the scene?" Li Yi asked with a frown.
Qinglong stood up and said, "This is my minister."
"Have you found anything unusual or found anything useful?"
Qinglong shook his head and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, no, when we came, the fire had reached an irreversible trend. We wanted to put out the fire, but the fire was too strong."
Li Yi thought deeply: "Didn't you find anyone suspicious?"
"No, we have searched all places, including the outer streets, and there is no one there."
Li Yi thought: "Impossible!"
"No matter how fast these people are, even if they kill people and set fires, they can't escape so fast!"
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Qinglong, "Have you searched the courtyard of Xia Mansion too?"
Qinglong was stunned and quickly explained, "Back to Your Majesty, the courtyard of Xia Mansion has been burned. No one can get in. There is no way there will be anyone."
"Nothing is impossible." Li Yi pointed to the footprints in the corner. They were the marks of boots, not of a person.
It can be seen that the enemy did not have time to escape at all, but hid in the corner and waited for Qinglong and the internal machine surveillance master to leave before escaping.
Damn it, it's just a little bit close, and someone can get the stolen goods together.
But it's too late to say anything now!
Qinglong was so frightened that he knelt down to plead guilty.
Li Yi waved his hand. Qinglong was really not to blame for this. After all, he was still young and should be given time to make mistakes.
However, as Ma Chen said, Xia Dehe is a big link in this spider web and has a very high level, so he must have collected a lot of money. He would not deposit it into the bank, so he would naturally hide it. The location must be within the mansion.
As long as you find the location where the silver is hidden, everything will be clear.
Thinking of this, he began to walk around in the burnt courtyard, and all the internal surveillance experts followed closely, but they had no idea what His Majesty was doing.
But Li Yi's wisdom and calmness in times of crisis convinced Cao Qingyan, Lu Hancheng, and Qinglong.
It’s as if that figure is there and all difficulties are solved!
After searching for an hour, there was still no clue. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp outside the mansion began to become restless.
And the atmosphere in the mansion began to be depressed and irritable. If Li Yi had no evidence to prove that Xia Dehe was corrupt and bribery, then he would be completely defeated and the consequences of losing the support of the people are self-evident.
Suddenly, he noticed something unusual.
On the walls of a charred courtyard, these walls seemed to have been specially treated. After the fire, they did not change at all. They were still as white as new. They were particularly eye-catching in the dark ruins of the mansion.
"Found it!" Li Yi raised his thin lips evilly.
"Someone, smash the wall!"
