Li Yunshu retorted to Zhao Youde with just one sentence.
Ignorance is no crime is just a common saying, but this saying does not exist at all in the laws of the Great Chu.
Without waiting for Zhao Youde to speak, Li Yunshu continued.
“I had already told Zhao Yi in advance that I was an imperial envoy, but he insisted on doing it his own way.
Therefore, he cannot be considered innocent of ignorance at all.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi's housekeeper refused to admit it.
"Nonsense, you never said that."
Li Yunshu looked at Gao Gong and said respectfully.
"In addition to the common people outside the hall, there is also a eunuch in the palace and a team of imperial guards who are all witnesses.
Whether I said it or not, you will know once you ask me."
"What eunuch?"
When the eunuchs were mentioned, Gao Gong became even more suspicious that the empress was behind this matter.
Li Yunshu said calmly.
"It was the eunuch who was standing at the gate of Jingming Temple last night."
He didn't know the eunuch's name, and it was not easy for him to just say the one with the biggest breasts. Who knows if there are any bigger ones in the palace.
I only remember that it was the eunuch who led the team last night, and this morning she personally led people to deliver the gold.
I think it should be someone close to the empress.
"Shangguan Shuangyue!"
When Gao Gong heard the eunuch who was in charge last night, he naturally knew who it was.
Who is Shangguan Shuangyue?
He is the most capable general beside the empress!
If these people acted as witnesses, there was a possibility that they might have personal grudges against each other, but Shangguan Shuangyue would never do that.
Li Yunshu didn't care whether it was Shangguan Shuangyue or not, and nodded directly.
"Would you like to invite her here and ask her in person?"
Gao Gong glanced at Zhao Youde outside the hall with an embarrassed look on his face.
This incident alarmed Shangguan Shuangyue, which alarmed the empress. Not to mention him, even Zhao Youde didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
What's more, what he said was well-founded, and afterwards, even Zhao Youde couldn't hold him accountable.
Everyone has witnessed what happened today. It is impossible for him to abuse his power and bend the law for personal gain.
Seeing Gao Gong's expression, Li Yunshu knew that he was safe, and his eyes fell on Zhao Youde outside the lobby.
"Or, does Minister Zhao think that Zhao Yi's entire clan should be exterminated according to the law?"
Upon hearing this, the people outside the door shouted one by one.
"Three tribes of Yi!"
"Three tribes of Yi!"
"Three tribes of Yi!"
Li Yunshu stood on the side of justice and acted according to the law, so he was not afraid even if he stood in this hall.
The moment Zhao Yi attacked him, he was digging his own grave.
"Sir, shouldn't Zhao Yi be killed?"
Gao Gong nodded helplessly in cooperation.
“Should, should…”
"Wrong!" Li Yunshu said loudly, "The imperial envoy is acting on behalf of His Majesty. Hitting me is a slap in the face of His Majesty. All nine generations of my clan should be exterminated!"
High attack:...
Li Yunshu walked up to Zhao Youde and spoke.
"I killed him directly because I really didn't want any more innocent lives to be buried with him. Am I guilty?"
Anyway, since he killed Zhao Youde's son, the other party would never let him off.
In this case, he didn't mind offending Zhao Youde a little more at this time.
Zhao Youde's mouth twitched with anger, he really wanted to slap this guy to death.
The anger and powerlessness of not being able to stand the other person but being unable to do anything about him made his chest almost explode.
Threat, this is a naked threat.
This boy relied on his status as an imperial envoy and knew that he was Zhao Yi's biological father, so he dared to act so recklessly.
Snapped!
In the lobby, Gao Gong had already made up his mind, and he slammed the gavel in his hand.
"This government declares that Li Yunshu is not guilty!"
Li Yunshu bowed.
"Your Excellency is as good as a god in solving cases!"
……
After leaving the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Li Yunshu did not feel relaxed, but instead had a strong sense of uneasiness.
Before killing Zhao Yi, he really didn't know that Zhao Youde was the Minister of Justice.
You can't blame him for this. Zhao Yi is just Zhao Youde's illegitimate son. Who would know that?
If Zhao Youde is involved, then Zhao Yi's biological father will also be involved.
He just remembered that there was an entry among the Hundred Officials saying that Zhao Youde's two sons were not his biological sons, but he didn't know who that person was or what official position he held.
I even have no impression of what the other person looks like.
Relying on his so-called imperial envoy status, the other party might be wary of him on the surface.
However, it is easier to avoid an open attack than to guard against a hidden one, and there is no guarantee that the other party will not make an unscrupulous move.
But the person has already been killed, and even if he regrets it now, there is no turning back.
Just a few steps out of the door, Li Yunshu realized something was wrong.
Because Zhao Youde was standing at the door, as if he had been waiting for him.
The originally bustling street became extremely quiet for some reason.
Turning around, many practitioners wearing the same robes appeared on both sides of the street and surrounded the Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
boom.
When Li Yunshu turned around, the gate of Jingzhao Yinfu behind him was already tightly closed.
Chapter 10: Empress: This morning's Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup is hard to swallow
Above Jingming Temple.
Di Bing looked in the direction of Jingzhao Yinfu and questioned.
"You let him be the first to intervene in the spiritual blessed land?"
Pei Xuanji raised his chin slightly and said, "Let me see how you can take him away."
"It's time for you to go."
Di Bing clenched his fists and wrinkled his nose.
"If I can't beat you, humph!"
……
Looking at the closed door, Li Yunshu cursed inwardly.
On one side is the empress, and on the other side is Zhao Youde. The Jingzhao Yin Mansion obviously wants to stay out of it.
At this time, people on both sides of the street had gathered around.
Zhao Youde grinned grimly and looked at Li Yunshu as if he were a lamb to be slaughtered.
Killing Zhao Yi and destroying the business of Lingqi Fudi, how can this matter be resolved peacefully?
Young people are young people after all, and they think they can do whatever they want by relying on their status as imperial envoys.
Don’t you know how big the involvement is behind this spiritual blessed land?
Not to mention other sects, the Tianquan Sect behind him is the biggest beneficiary of the spiritual blessed land.
What's more, he had a good reason to ask the sect to take action.
The empress came to Jingming Temple in person last night and stayed there for several hours before coming out.
Before leaving, he said: Li Yunshu has helped me solve my doubts and has worked hard day and night, so I reward him with 100 taels of gold!
Questions to be answered. What questions does the empress have that need to be answered by a young Taoist priest in the foundation-building stage?
That must be about the way to ascension!
Who doesn’t want to know the secret of ascension?
Taking advantage of Zhao Yi's death, Li Yunshu was captured and brought back to Tianquan Sect, and the secret of ascension was obtained from him.
Not only could he avenge his son's death, but he could also make a great contribution to the sect.
Moreover, if the sect intervenes, even the empress would be wary.
He just didn't believe that the empress would fall out with the entire Tianquan Sect just for a mere Li Yunshu.
"Are you Li Yunshu?"
Li Yunshu looked at the person who was speaking, an old man in a purple robe.
