The more than two hundred Confucian students knelt on the ground and watched Li Yi walking towards them step by step. They were so frightened that their scalps went numb and their souls flew out of their minds.
Today's people are not good men and women. The last time those Confucian scholars forced His Majesty to go to the palace, they just asked His Majesty for justice, and in the end they were beheaded directly.
This incident still left them with lingering fears, and they did not dare to provoke Li Yi unless they had to. But this time, the other party offered too much money for them to refuse.
The key is, this time they all did it secretly, but in the end, they were still discovered and no one ran away.
They were all a little suspicious, was it Li Yi's trick?
"Tell me, who ordered you!"
Li Yi said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you tell me, I promise to give you a way to live. If you don't tell me, you will not be able to survive or die."
As soon as the words fell, these Confucian scholars suddenly felt a chill running down their backs.
The two hundred or so people all shuddered, and the timid ones almost peed.
After a few breaths, but still no one spoke, Li Yi snorted coldly, it was really a penalty for not eating the toast.
These people were obviously cannon fodder, just trash being used, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense to them.
"good!"
"Have some backbone!"
Li Yi turned around slowly.
Seeing this scene, these Confucian scholars secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was nothing Li Yi could do to them.
But the next second, Li Yi directly pulled out a long knife from the waist of the internal machine surveillance expert behind him. The blade was like light, with a cold glow.
"Don't!"
"Your Majesty, we were wrong, don't kill me!" Immediately some Confucian scholars were frightened and begged for mercy.
If there is one, there is the second.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"The student is just obsessed. Please, Your Majesty, please spare me. Don't kill me. I don't want to die!" The few Confucian scholars at the front were so frightened that they cried and begged.
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be punished with a drink!" Li Yi snorted coldly, his eyes as terrifying as knives, "I gave you a chance, but you don't use it."
"It's a little late to beg for mercy now."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his long sword high and slashed straight at a Confucian scholar.
"Your Majesty, don't kill me, I say, I say!"
The blade suddenly stopped in mid-air, a finger's height from the scholar's head.
And he had already peed, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, he is a man in black. That man in black... is him. He gave me one hundred taels of silver and asked me to write a letter to slander Your Majesty."
"Me too, Your Majesty, I failed in the martial arts examination, and I have spent all my money, including my travel expenses. I have no choice but to agree."
"Your Majesty, we were wrong. Please, don't kill us!"
Suddenly, all the Confucian students kowtowed and begged for mercy, wailing all over the place, they were all completely frightened.
But at this moment, Li Yi's expression changed instantly, as did Cao Qingyan, Wei Ziya and others behind him.
A man in black!
Could it be him again?
It's very possible that the same person is behind this.
But who is this man in black?
"You bastard, he was the one who secretly instigated Zhongyi Village to commit martial arts fraud last time!" Li Yi glared angrily and roared with murderous intent.
"you!"
"explain!"
"Where is this man in black and how can you contact him?" Li Yi pointed at a Confucian student and asked.
The Confucian scholar shook his head like a rattle, "Your Majesty, I really don't know."
Li Yi stood with a sword in hand. He took a step forward and stared at him, "If you dare to hide anything, you will be killed without mercy. I will personally send you to the underworld!"
The Confucian scholar was so frightened that he cried: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. The man in black didn't even show his face. I only know that his voice was very soft."
"By the way, his hands are very slender and white."
Li Yi frowned. Sure enough, it was the same person as Li Nuo said.
His eyes immediately fell on the others, "What about you?"
Wherever they looked, Confucian scholars kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know. There is no contact between us. He gave us money and just asked us to write letters to slander His Majesty."
"Yes, that person is very mysterious. We don't know who he is? We can't even see his appearance clearly."
"That's right, the man in black has hidden his appearance..."
Li Yi began to sift through the messy words for useful information, and could conclude that the man in black was a young man, very tall and with slender fingers.
If you are tall, it means you are well-nourished and you are from a rich family. If you have long and slender fingers, it means you are not engaged in childbirth.
Suddenly a figure flashed in his mind, could it be Young Master Yan?
He remembered that Mr. Yan was very tall. He stayed in the mansion all year round and his fingers were naturally white.
In addition, the Dragon Gate under him has been destroyed in name only after Master Si was killed, and there is indeed no one to use it.
If it were really him, the matter would become simpler.
Li Yi took a step back and looked up at Cao Qingyan and Wei Ziya, "Do you think it could be Young Master Yan?"
Hearing this, both of them were shocked, their eyes were horrifying, and they were frightened again and again.
Everyone knows that Mr. Yan is behind Mr. Yan. If it is really him, even if he is caught, what should he do?
Could it be possible to really kill him?
Now, finding out who is behind the scenes has become a problem.
But with Li Yi's temper, if he really caught Mr. Yan, how could he let him go so easily.
For a moment, Cao Qingyan and Wei Ziya looked at each other with horror.
After a long time, Li Yi spoke first, "Catch him first, and then we'll talk about it after we catch him."
Cao Qingyan said one more thing, "Your Majesty, if it is really him, could it be..."
Li Yi snorted angrily, "The prince broke the law, and the common people are also guilty, let alone him."
"I will never tolerate a grain of sand in my eyes. Anyway, he has taken refuge with Prince Fu. It would be a good idea to give him a big gift package before Prince Fu comes to Beijing."
"No!" Cao Qingyan and Wei Ziya responded in unison.
Li Yi added: "Right now, everything is just speculation. There is no evidence to show who it is. Only by catching this man in black can the truth be revealed."
"But even if he is not Mr. Yan, he will definitely have something to do with him. As long as I catch this man in black, I will personally pry open his mouth."
As for the person behind it, I guess who it is, it's either Prince Fu, Young Master Yan, or Empress Dowager Zheng Zheng Mengjing in the palace.
There is absolutely no way to escape these three people!
Wei Ziya and Cao Qingyan also nodded repeatedly, deeply impressed by Li Yi's analysis, and their eyes were full of admiration.
It has to be said that Li Yi has always been cautious and careful in his work. He can always find the loopholes of his opponents through some clues, and then use the loopholes to kill his opponents.
This is not the case with the Ning brothers, Li Cun, Sun Zhen, and Xiang Guotian.
Subsequently.
Wei Ziya frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, how can we catch this man in black?"
"Yes, this person is very cautious in what he does. It's not that easy to catch him. Moreover, he must have known about our grand arrest last night." Cao Qingyan also looked troubled.
Li Yi nodded and smiled, noncommittal, "Yes, this person is very careful. Trying to catch him in the huge crowd of people in the capital is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"But what if he shows up on his own?"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Ziya and Cao Qingyan's expressions were filled with disbelief.
Unless that guy was stupid, why would he show up on his own initiative?
They didn't dare to say this, they just thought about it in their hearts.
But Li Yi said it, narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I have a way to make the man in black appear on his own."
"What?"
Wei Ziya shook his head, not believing that the other party would be stupid enough to show up on his own.
"Since he won't come out, let's lure him out." Li Yi said calmly.
"Your Majesty, how can this be induced? The other party has been alert for a long time and will not come out easily." Cao Qingyan also looked suspicious.
"There is nothing that can't be lured out. If it doesn't come out, it can only mean that the bait is not enough." Li Yi smiled confidently, and then whispered a few words in their ears.
I saw the faces of Wei Ziya and Cao Qingyan change from surprise, to confusion, and finally to surprise.
"Your Majesty, this old slave is submissive. He is completely submissive."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are so powerful, you can think of such a method."
Li Yi nodded and said: "You guys remember, there is no prey that cannot be lured out. If there is, it only means that the bait is not heavy enough. If you want the opponent to come out, the bait must be heavy enough, so heavy that the opponent cannot refuse at all. .”
Wei Ziya and Cao Qingyan looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty, we will do it right away."
Li Yi nodded, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His face was solemn, and a pair of dark eyes flashed from time to time. As long as he caught this man in black, everything would be solved.
Taking this opportunity, we can directly capture Master Yan and Prince Fu.
As long as righteousness is in hand, even if I kill King Fu, no one in the world will find fault with me!
King Fu died, and the An family's engagement came to an end.
Really, killing three birds with one stone, wonderful!
At this moment, Qinglong suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, what should we do with these people?"
