Li Yi knows very well how miserable people on the margins of society are, and sometimes they really have no choice.
He said calmly, "Tell me, who is it?"
"If you don't tell and take the blame, your family will not escape the fate of being silenced. If you tell, I promise to rescue your family and avenge you!"
Hearing this, Guo Lu was obviously moved.
Then, Li Yi continued to attack his psychological defense line, "I am the emperor today, don't my words have more authority than those people?"
"ah!"
These words immediately stunned Guo Lu, and his eyes were exposed.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes. Sure enough, someone was up to something!
Guo Lu finally collapsed and wailed, "Your Majesty, please save my family. As long as my family can survive, I will say anything!"
As if he had made up his mind with great determination, the chains on his body rattled with his movements.
Tears were wrapped in snot and sprayed out. He was embarrassed, but also extremely miserable.
But everyone else present, including Cao Fengyang and Wei Ziya, were all shocked.
This hob meat actually said that?
They used all kinds of tortures, but this kid just refused to speak, and he couldn't get in any food or salt!
But when His Majesty arrived, he didn't hit anyone or curse anyone. He just asked a few questions, and the boy spat out.
Thinking of this, they all admired Li Yi for his excellent ability in interrogating prisoners.
"good!"
"I promise you that I will rescue your family."
Li Yi waved his hand and Cao Qingyan walked in quickly, "Your Majesty, this old slave is here."
He stared at Guo Lu, "Where is your family? I will send people to rescue them now."
"His name is Cao Qingyan, and he is the number one expert in internal machine surveillance. Don't worry, no one in the capital can be his opponent. Should you be relieved now?"
Sure enough, Guo Lu's last line of defense collapsed completely. His eyes were full of hope and he said weakly: "Your Majesty, I knew that my family was being held in a cellar under a restaurant. Not only my family, but also several others were involved. The person’s family.”
"As for the name of that restaurant, I don't know."
"Your Majesty, please save my family. As long as you can save my family, I will say anything and tell you everything!" He stared at Li Yi expectantly, tears streaming down his face.
Now, things are in trouble.
Cao Fengyang and others present looked embarrassed.
The scope of this clue is also too large.
Who knows how many restaurants there are in the capital? Does that restaurant have a cellar?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will be very troublesome. There are thousands of restaurants in the capital. If you search every house, you may not be able to find it even at dawn, and it will be easy to alert the snake."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter is indeed difficult to handle. Finding a restaurant and cellar in the capital is undoubtedly like finding a needle in a haystack."
"Your Majesty, this matter needs long-term consideration. It is best not to make any moves."
Guo Lu was shocked and wailed: "Your Majesty, please save my family, please!"
"Your Majesty, I will sacrifice my life to save my family."
"I beg you, little man, I kowtow to you." He cried loudly, the chains on his body rattling.
Li Yi frowned. No matter what, he needed to rescue Guo Lu's family first. Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, this was the only clue.
"Okay, I promise to help you rescue your family, but there is one thing. If you dare to play tricks with me, I guarantee that you will not be able to live or die!"
Guo Lu nodded without any doubt and stared at Li Yi with aggrieved eyes, "Yes, the villain knows, the villain knows."
Everyone wanted to continue to persuade Li Yi, but it was obvious that Li Yi was very determined and did not dare to say anything more.
Li Yi suddenly whispered a few words to Cao Qingyan, and then he saluted and left.
As soon as Cao Qingyan left, Wei Ziya stepped forward worriedly and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, why don't I arrange for Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to search together. If there are more people, it should be faster, otherwise the case will not be solved tomorrow."
"If the students who will be referred tomorrow attack the imperial court together, it will still be a big trouble."
Li Yi shook his head and smiled calmly, "No, it's easy for people in the court to alert others."
"You don't have to worry about it, just wait here."
Immediately, he ordered Guo Lu to be put down and arranged for a doctor to treat the wound, but he must not die again.
And he was lying on the chairs brought by the chamberlains on the left and right, closing his eyes to rest and waiting quietly.
This scene immediately surprised everyone present. Your Majesty does not use Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, or the Beijing Camp. Who are you using?
There are thousands of restaurants in the capital. Without sending troops to conduct large-scale searches, Guo Lu's family members would not be found at all.
They really couldn't calm down and were impatient, but looking at Li Yifeng's calm appearance, they became even more confused.
Wei Ziya wanted to ask Li Yi several times, but Cao Fengyang stopped him.
He has not been with Li Yi for a long time, but he knows Li Yi very well. Your Majesty will never do anything that you are not sure about.
As time passed by, all the ministers stayed in their cells and waited quietly.
At night, the prison was lifeless, and even the air became solid and heavy, making people feel depressed.
Officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment were sweating profusely with anxiety. This time they were the first to be held accountable.
Slowly, Cao Fengyang, Wei Ziya and the others also became anxious.
This matter is of great importance. If it is not handled well, it will easily cause immeasurable consequences. The most frightening thing is that it will lose the support of the people.
His Majesty was the first to reform the martial arts examinations and hold the new martial arts examinations for the first time. Such a big fraud case occurred in the martial arts academy. If nothing else, His Majesty's face will be damaged today?
What's even more frightening is that it is also a blow to the morale of the imperial court. The other party can make the imperial court lose all face by using a small trick. So how can this kind of imperial court be convincing?
The ministers were impatient, like ants on a hot pot, spinning around.
But only Li Yi leaned on the chair, motionless as a mountain.
late at night.
Cao Fengyang couldn't help it anymore, and walked slowly to Li Yi's side, calling softly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, why don't you go back and rest first, I and a few adults are waiting here."
Li Yi didn't raise his head or open his eyes, "No need."
Seeing this, Cao Fengyang suggested again: "Otherwise, postpone this martial arts competition..."
Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes and said in an unhappy tone, "No, the martial arts competition must not be postponed!"
"I just want everyone in the world to see that I will never compromise, and I will dig to the bottom to dig out all those young people!"
"No matter who it is, he dares to cheat in the examination room, confiscate his home and destroy his family, and destroy ten clans."
"I will set an example for the people of the world, and set an example for the future monarchs of the Gale Dynasty!"
When the ministers heard this, their hearts trembled.
Cao Fengyang knew the crime, and then said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that this matter has something to do with Mr. Yan, Liu Jin, and the Queen Mother Xiaoning!"
At this time, Wei Ziya also added: "The masters of the internal surveillance system are watching Yan's house day and night. No one has come in or out of Yan's house for several days. Isn't this Master Yan or Liu Jin up to something?"
Cao Fengyang shook his head, "Maybe there are other people, aristocratic families, or even people from Beiliao who are up to something."
Li Yi smiled and said nothing. It was not impossible, but he would rather believe that Mr. Yan and Liu Jin were up to something.
Now we can only place our hope on Guo Lu. As long as he opens his mouth and continues to investigate, it will be clear.
"No matter who it is, if you find out, you will be killed without mercy!" Li Yi's eyes were gleaming with murderous intent.
Cao Fengyang and others also have murderous intentions. The imperial examination and the military examination are important matters of the country. Anyone who dares to reach out to these two places is truly seeking death!
This is no longer as simple as harming the interests of the imperial court, but harming the interests of the entire Dafeng Dynasty and damaging the interests of countless students!
At this moment, there were footsteps outside the cell door.
"Report, Lord Cao Qingyan is here!"
"Your Majesty, this old slave has lived up to his command!"
"Your Majesty, I am not ashamed to be young..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at it together. Have they really found it?
The first person who entered the door was Cao Qingyan, and the second person was a tall and strong fat man, dark and fat, with a face full of flesh. He was Zhen Guandong.
Zhen Guandong knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the person was found. According to your instructions, no one else was disturbed. My brothers and I stole the person."
At this time, all the ministers were confused. What happened? Did they really find it?
No, who is this guy? He has a sinister face and is not a good person at first glance?
Your Majesty has such a wide network of people, there are His Majesty’s people everywhere.
"His father!" A woman stumbled in and burst into tears. She immediately hugged Guo Lu, and the two hugged each other and cried.
Li Yi slowly walked into the two of them and said calmly: "I have rescued your family, now it's time for you to speak, right?"
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell over. Now, as long as Guo Lu opens his mouth, the truth behind the scenes will be revealed.
And their heads will eventually be used to commemorate the first military exercise of the Gale Dynasty!
Guo Lu was also crying so much that he was extremely grateful: "Your Majesty, I said it, I said it all!"
Li Yi subconsciously asked: "Is it Liu Jin or Young Master Yan?"
"No, not them!"
