Whether the fear of the little Eunuch in front of him was out of panic or guilt - Li Ji looked more like the latter.
If at first it was just a bluff, now it is really suspicious
Xiaojiezi knelt there and didn't dare to look up. Yu Guangli saw the man in the chair slowly get up and walk towards him.
Looking at the pair of clean as new cloud shoes stop in front of him, xiaojiezi almost held his breath, and only the beads of sweat as big as beans hit down his cheeks one by one.
"Where did the blood stain on the corner of your robe come from?" Li Ji asked coolly.
Blood?!
Xiaojiezi immediately panicked and hurried to see the robe corner pressed under his knee.
Li Ji sneered in his heart and said, "take it down and try it carefully!"
For a moment, xiaojiezi was hit by five thunders - there was no blood at all! How could the other party see the corner of his robe under him!
This is basically leading him to reveal his flaws!
But it was too late to realize.
Or, since he entered the room, whether he was innocent or not, the result was mostly settled.
He is afraid that he is doomed to leave the dark court, and even here
Xiaojiezi was almost confused and dragged to the compartment.
"Duke Ji, please drink tea... There are several in there. I'm afraid they will have to be tried later." a little eunuch held tea to Li Ji.
Li Ji sighed: "where do you still want to drink tea? I'm tied to my trouser waist..."
The emperor used to find the assassin in two hours, but now he will have it in ten hours. It's not too much to say that his head was pressed under the guillotine.
Li Ji went out of the dark room, squinted at the sunset and sighed again.
The Duke of town is going back to Beijing
If Joe Biying can't find it again, I'm afraid the situation will become more complicated and out of control.
Thinking of what might happen, Li Ji suddenly felt that the head tied to his trouser waist could not be untied. Sooner or later, it would have to fall to the ground, but in a different way.
Listening to the scream from the compartment behind me, I felt a little sympathetic. It's not easy for anyone to be in this deep palace, and no one can decide their own life
After nearly half an hour of such trial, I had the intention to go out of the compartment.
"Ji Gong, the little Eunuch in the dark court confessed..." the internal supervisor whispered, but his face was a little different.
“……”
When Emperor Qingming returned to the heart nourishing hall, Li Ji was already waiting in the hall.
"Can you find someone?" emperor Qingming asked as soon as he stepped into the hall.
But before Li Ji answered, he knelt down and kowtowed to apologize: "return to your majesty, man... I'm afraid he's out of the palace at this time."
"What are you talking about?" emperor Qingming's voice was suddenly cold.
So many people searched and guarded that they asked people to escape from the palace?!
And just one day!
What the hell has his palace become! Can a disabled man come and go freely?!
"The slave caught a little eunuch who was locked in the dark court. The little eunuch has confessed that he rescued Qiao Biying from the dark room last night and hid in the dark court to avoid the search..."
Li Ji hardened his head and said, "this afternoon, people were taken out of the dark court by hiding in the porridge bucket for delivering rice... I immediately went to check it after I learned that Qiao Biying was taken out of the dark court, hid in the swill bucket again, and was transported out of the palace by mule cart from Xixiao gate half an hour ago..."
"... half an hour ago?!" emperor Qingming's face was gloomy and anxious: "don't make people chase him immediately!"
"The slave has ordered people to catch up!" Li Ji hurriedly said.
Emperor Qingming felt dizzy for a while. He was held by the little eunuch on his side and sat down in the chair. He stared at Li Ji, tried his best to suppress his anger, sneered and said, "you have great ability... You can make people escape from the palace all the way under your eyes!"
"This time is indeed the negligence of the slave..." Li Ji touched the ground with his forehead and dared not have a half sentence excuse: "when the matter is over, the slave will die to apologize!"
But he estimated that this matter could not be settled
"Can you tell who ordered you!" I don't know if he was angry and fierce. Therefore, Emperor Qingming only felt that he couldn't even breathe. He wanted to know who it was, from the dark court, to the eunuch delivering rice, to the people transporting swill out of the palace... Can anyone do such a series of hands and feet!
——Will you be his good queen?!
"Three people have been captured successively. Later, the two people know very little. They just take advantage of the benefits and take charge of sending Qiao Biying out of the palace... The little eunuch who helped Qiao Biying hide in the dark court knows more. He said a taboo before he fainted..." at this point, Li Ji's eyes are a little hesitant.
"Say!"
"..." Li Ji can only tell the truth.
Emperor Qingming's expression stagnated on his face. In a moment, there were waves in the fundus of his eyes.
How could
No... why not?!
Everyone will have ambition and calculation
But one thing——
"What the eunuch said may not be the truth..." emperor Qingming clenched his fist tightly and his eyes were as cold as the Abyss: "in addition to what he caught today, does he have any other companions?"
"Back to your majesty, there's another one." Li Ji turned his head slightly and looked in the direction behind him: "this man seems to have made a lot of efforts secretly, so the slave hasn't alarmed the snake yet. It's just up to his majesty to make a decision..."
The process of Qiao Biying's escape from the palace has been confirmed. Whether he catches or not is not the most important thing.
For the emperor, it is more important to find out who these people are working for——
"What happened in the dark court, seal the news first!" emperor Qingming tightly straightened his mouth for a moment and looked at the outer Hall: "stare at it secretly first, if it's a dog, it will always find its master..."
Li Ji answered.
……
Four mule carts carrying swill are about to drive near Caishi street.
It's getting late. There's a curfew in the city recently. Although it's not yet time, few people are walking around. Several men driving the bus are discussing where to drink later.
However, just at this time, when it was about to pass through an alley, a horse suddenly burst out of the alley. People sat on the horse and tried to pull the reins, but they still couldn't control the frightened horse. The population shouted "be careful", and the horse under them came straight at them.
This situation happened so suddenly that the man who drove the car didn't have time to respond. The horse ran recklessly. The mule holding the car was frightened. The board of the car shook and tilted, and the swill bucket on it fell down.

More than one mule was frightened, and several mule carts were close. Under such a collision, the horse barked, the mule chirped, and the pungent swill was sticky and greasy, slipping at people's feet. Someone fell and was covered with scolding his mother. For a moment, the situation was noisy and chaotic to the extreme.
The man in blue on the horse seemed very difficult to control the horse, so he quickly jumped off the horse's back and went forward to compensate one by one.
In the reparation room, he came to a young man who helped transport swill. The young man stood at the back, his eyes met, and nodded slightly to the man in Tsing Yi.
