Li Xizhi's eyes were blazing and his demeanor was calm, and when he heard Zhao Shichun ask if Zhao Shixiong had any evidence, he suddenly smiled, and then glanced at Zhao Shixiong and said: "At the beginning, Commander Ye was ordered to go to Sizhou, and along the way to the north, he did pass with Pu Luhun, the servant of the Criminal Department of the Jin State, if Chongguo Gong didn't believe it, maybe you can ask the witness I brought over, he was on the boat at the beginning, and he must be able to testify whether Commander Ye colluded with the Jin people." ”

Yu Yunwen frowned, he didn't expect that Ye Qing was really right, and he really stood on the other side of Zhao Shixiong at the critical moment.

Originally, he thought that he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Li Xizhi, and he didn't want to start slandering Ye Qing as soon as he came up today.

And the reason why Li Xizhi turned his back on the tacit understanding with Yu Yunwen was entirely because he also discovered Zhao Shixiong's secret transfer to Yangzhou City last night, so when he was on the way to Chongguo Mansion today, he had to negotiate with Zhao Shixiong, who was deliberately waiting for him, on the road, and then compromised.

In Li Xizhi's opinion, Zhao Shixiong made full preparations, and the entire 2,000-strong troops were placed in Yangzhou City, and Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing did not have a chance of winning at all, not to mention that Ye Qing had never promised himself not to interfere in Yu Yunwen's affairs.

During this time, Ye Qing had a close relationship with Yu Yunwen, and a full hundred Imperial City Division guards were completely handed over to Yu Yunwen for dispatch. It is enough to show that Ye Qing never thought of standing on the same position as himself at all.

In such a situation, Li Xizhi didn't feel that he had any reason to stand on the same position as Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing, who were in a weak position, to deal with Zhao Shixiong.

What's more, Zhao Shixiong is the person that the imperial court wants to recall, even if he is not deposed by Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen today, maybe tomorrow the imperial court will send others to remove Zhao Shixiong.

In short, Zhao Shixiong still wants to cover the sky with one hand on Huainan East Road and Yangzhou as before.

Now that the imperial court has made up its mind, it will definitely not give up control of Huainan East Road because of the defeat of Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen in Yangzhou.

So in order to appease the position of envoy, why should he face the difficulties at this time when the situation is not conducive to him?

In order to appease the envoy, he has been withholding it for several years, do you still care about enduring it for a while longer? Besides, no matter how important the position of appeasement is, it is not as important as life, and if you want to fight with Zhao Shixiong at this time, you will undoubtedly kill yourself.

"The witness that Lord Li said is Li Yuan?" Yu Yunwen glanced at Ye Qing, who had a calm face, and didn't react at all to being framed and blamed, as if Li Xizhi was not witnessing him at the moment, but someone else.

"Lord Yu is high, it seems that Lord Yu also knows about Commander Ye's collusion with the Jin people? So is it ...... today. Li Xizhi nodded and admitted that the witness he brought was Li Yuan.

But Yu Yunwen didn't wait for him to finish, and said after sneering: "But as far as I know, it was Li Yuan who was traveling with the squire of the Criminal Department of the Jin State, and another merchant in Lin'an City, Luo Shichuan, Luo Shichuan colluded with the Jin people to cross the Huai River to the north together, and then his whereabouts are unknown, Shen Fa, the governor of Sizhou, has been looking for Sizhou for several days in succession, but he has not found anyone, and Li Yuan, I have not heard of anything to do with Commander Ye, but I heard that when I was in Sizhou, I was very close to Lord Li, and there seems to be a Xia courtier Li Ji, It can't be that there is a conspiracy between the three of you, but today it was framed by Commander Ye, right? ”

Regarding Yu Yunwen's rebuttal, Li Xizhi was not angry, his demeanor was calm, and he even smiled good-natured and admitted: "When I was in Sizhou, I did meet Li Yuan a few times, but I didn't have any collusion with him, I approached him just to learn from this person's mouth that the evidence of the collusion between Commander Ye and the Jin man Pu Luhun was just that." ”

After Li Xizhi finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Shichun who was sitting quietly in the chair, and then suddenly said to Yangzhou Zhizhou: "Lord Liu, you must know that when Commander Ye arrived in Yangzhou, he was already in Sizhou, naturally, he would not know the witness Li Yuan, and after Commander Ye arrived in Sizhou, what did he do, it seems that I don't need to say it, right?" ”

Ye Qing, who had not interjected, watched Li Xizhi finally turn his gaze to himself, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhao Shixiong take the lead in saluting Chongguogong.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Chongguo Gong, since the lower officials heard the report of Lord Li Xizhi yesterday, they have secretly ordered 2,000 people of the Five Rivers Army to enter Yangzhou, the purpose is to take down Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing who colluded with the Jin people for the imperial court, and I hope that Chongguo Gong can truthfully perform to the saint at that time." ”

"What? You...... You actually transferred 2,000 Wuhe troops into Yangzhou City? Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun's hand shook, and his demeanor finally stopped looking like a middle-aged man with a calm bearing, and he looked at Zhao Shixiong with some shock and asked.

"Yes, Xia Guan originally wanted to tell Chongguo Gong yesterday, but Xia Guan was afraid that once he told Chong Guo Gong, if the news leaked, I am afraid that these two people would be given an opportunity to take advantage of, so he hid this matter from Chongguo Gong, thinking that after taking Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen today, he would ask Chongguo Gong for his guilt." Zhao Shixiong's honest and simple face was full of loyalty and courage.

"Ye Qing, what else do you have to say now? If you think that I and Governor Zhao have wronged you, you can defend your innocence in front of Chongguo Gong. Li Xizhi's victory was in his hand, and he looked at Ye Qing and said confidently.

"What the two of you said seems to be pointing to me Ye Qing alone, but I don't know why I want to bring Lord Shangyu? You say that I colluded with Jinren, and there are human and physical evidence, I have no opinion, but you accuse Lord Yu, what evidence do you have? Ye Qing glanced at Li Xizhi, then swept past Zhao Shixiong, walked up to Chongguo Gong, who looked a little dazed, and took out the piece of ink jade pendant that Zhao Gou had given him.

"...... this?" Chongguo Gong was taken aback, and when he saw the word Jingkang on it, he already knew who this jade pendant was, and he knew that Ye Qing was obviously impossible to collude with the golden people.

"Ugh......." Ye Qing handed the jade pendant to Chongguo Gong for inspection, and then shook his head and said helplessly: "I thought that the holy relics given by the Emperor Taishang could suppress the traitorous ministers, but now it seems that even if they know each other, I am afraid they will not admit that they know it, and it is even very likely to be said that it is fake, no matter how real the holy relics are, there are no two thousand Wuhe troops in Yangzhou City, which can make people feel scared, right, Li Xizhi?" ”

"If the Emperor gave you a holy relic, I'm afraid you would have taken it out a long time ago, and would you wait until today?" Li Xizhi retorted disdainfully, and the implication was naturally to point out that the Moyu pendant in Ye Qing's hand was fake.

However, I was quite shocked in my heart, if it was really a holy thing, then I conspired with Zhao Shixiong, I am afraid that even if Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen succeeded in framing Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen today, I am afraid that my position of appeasement will become more and more distant from me, right?

"But this is indeed the Holy Relic of the Emperor." Chongguo Gong respectfully took the black jade pendant, and then cautiously handed it to Ye Qing and said.

"Yu Yunwen colluded with you, and said that he colluded with the Jin people, what's wrong? Unless he can tell right from wrong now and no longer ...... with you. Zhao Shixiong silently stared at the ink jade pendant in Ye Qing's hand and said in a deep voice.

Ye Qing ignored Zhao Shixiong's words, but looked back at the door, and after splashing Li San to make an OK gesture to him, Ye Qing looked at Li Xizhi and Zhao Shixiong, and a bright smile appeared on his face for the first time.

"Two adults, since you have witnesses in your hands to prove that I colluded with the Jinren, but I still have witnesses in my hands to prove that you are two adults, one is colluding with the Jinren, and the other is enriching your own pockets through the Xia people. By the way, Governor Zhao shouldn't have heard from Shen Fa for a long time, right? I'm afraid that after returning to Yangzhou, Lord Li has no news of Xia Ren Li Ji, right? It just so happens that I see the two of them, why don't we bring the witnesses together?" Ye Qing showed a mouthful of white teeth, looked at everyone and smiled.

"What do you mean? Do you dare to detain important officials of the court without permission? Aren't you afraid of my Great Song Law! Zhao Shixiong panicked, Shen Fa had indeed not communicated with him for a long time, he thought that he had something big to do with Pu Luhun, but now it seems that he was detained by Ye Qinghe.

"The law of the Great Song Dynasty? Shaoqing of Dali Temple is here, he didn't speak, you say I broke the law? What's more, does the Imperial City Secretary still need to look at the law to do things? Is it really the Imperial City Division or the Imperial City Division in the past? Ye Qing turned his back and looked at Zhao Shixiong and said disdainfully.

"Come on, take down Ye Qing, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division, and hand it over to Chongguo Gong for trial!" Zhao Shixiong walked to the door of the main hall without warning, looked at the few figures in the courtyard, and said loudly.

"Governor Zhao, you ......." Chongguo Gong was startled, jumped up directly from the chair, and didn't expect Zhao Shixiong to come prepared, and he really mobilized two thousand people in Yangzhou City.

At first, he thought it was a trick, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"If anyone forcibly breaks into the mansion of the Duke of Chongguo, there will be no forgiveness!" Ye Qing walked to the door of the main hall, stood side by side with Zhao Shixiong, and said lightly to the courtyard.

Then, there were also bursts of rumors, from near and far to the outside of the Chongguo Mansion.

"Just with your 100 Imperial City Division's jailers, you also want to stop my 2,000-strong Five Rivers Army?" Zhao Shixiong frowned, turned to look at Ye Qing and said coldly.

"It is quite possible that a hundred people will become a thousand. Everyone listened, and immediately stood in the corner, if anyone dared to walk around at will, there would be no mercy! Those who dare to resist will be killed! Ye Qing spoke up into the courtyard again.

"What if it's a thousand?" Zhao Shixiong turned around and looked at Chongguo Gong, who was starting to look a little flustered, and after a pause, he said fiercely: "Even if you Ye Qing have a thousand jailers, even if you can block the two thousand Five Rivers Army outside the mansion, how can you stop the Eight Thousand Five Rivers Army stationed in Yin Mountain outside the city!" ”

"Governor Zhao, you privately dispatched troops, which is against the law of my Great Song Dynasty, not to mention, you have not come up with full evidence to prove that Commander Ye is ...... Moreover, Commander Ye still has the Holy Relic of the Emperor and his old man in his hands, how can you act like this? Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun looked at Zhao Shixiong, who was not tall, but at this moment, he felt that his back did not seem to be much shorter than Ye Qing.

"Chongguo Gong, you must not be deceived by him, the so-called holy relics in his hands are not real, but fake, what do you say, Lord Li?" Zhao Shixiong's eyes should have been simple, but at this moment, they were fierce.
