Fu Yi and Xiao Yu quarreled for a long time, but in the end they couldn't get any results, so Li Shimin turned to Li Xiu and asked him for his opinion, in fact, this was also an opportunity he gave Li Xiu to express his views in advance, so as to counter Xiao Yu's accusations.

I saw that after Li Xiu heard Li Shimin's inquiry, he immediately stood up with a slight smile, and then came to the hall to salute Li Shimin first, and then turned to Xiao Yu and said: "Xiao Xiang just mentioned Monk Huiming, I'm very curious, how much does Xiao know about this monk?" ”

"Hmph, Master Huiming's matter has already spread all over Chang'an, the old man knows what's strange, and if it weren't for the influence of you, he wouldn't have been forced to self-immolate and die, in addition, the old man heard that there are many eminent monks who also want to emulate Hui Ming, if the imperial court does not withdraw the blow to Buddhism, I'm afraid that there will be self-immolation of senior monks all over the Tang Dynasty, and then the people of the world will be boiling with resentment, I don't know if you can afford it?" Xiao Yu also became very excited when he said the end, and asked loudly at the moment.

"Hahahaha~" I saw that Li Xiu suddenly laughed at this time, and after a long while, he stopped and asked, "I really can't figure out a question, Hui Ming's body has been pulled to the Xinzhu County Ya, and the county Ya has also filed a case to find the cause of Hui Ming's death, but now no conclusion has been drawn, Xiao Xiang, how do you know that Hui Ming committed suicide?" ”

"Do you still need to check this, Huiming has asked you for a theory several times before, wanting to seek justice for Buddhism, but you threw him to the north of the city and asked him to walk for a few days to return to Chang'an, which is simply the biggest humiliation for him, and finally forced him to die, hoping to wake you up with his own death, which is also a well-known thing in Chang'an, but unfortunately now it seems that his death did not have any effect at all!" Xiao Yu reprimanded with a cold face again, originally he had a good impression of Li Xiu, but this time because of the matter of Buddhism, he had an unprecedented bad feeling towards Li Xiu.

"Everybody knows it, right? I can't see it! Li Xiu smiled mysteriously at this time, and then turned to Li Shimin and saluted again, "Your Majesty, the minister came today to bring two witnesses, and now they are waiting outside the palace gate, begging Your Majesty to summon them!" ”

"Human witness?" As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, not only Li Shimin above was stunned, but Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu and others in the hall were also stunned, and they couldn't understand where Li Xiu got any witnesses, and this was not a trial case, what did he do with witnesses? Only the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to have guessed something from Li Xiu yesterday, so he wasn't too surprised.

"Your Majesty, Hui Ming's death is not so simple, now the Xinzhu County Government is also making every effort to investigate the case, and now there has been some progress, and the content they found is very amazing, so today the ministers will bring the Xinzhu County Order and the county lieutenant, they can explain the inside story of the case to Your Majesty!" Li Xiu saw the surprised expressions of the people around him, and immediately explained again.

Hearing Li Xiu say that Hui Ming's death had another hidden secret, this made all the people around him surprised, and many people showed solemn expressions, after all, they were all old foxes in the officialdom, even if Li Xiu didn't say anything hidden, but they had already sniffed out a little different atmosphere.

"Xuan!" Li Shimin also seemed to have guessed something when he heard this, and commanded without hesitation. Xiao Yu and the others, who were standing next to Li Xiu, also felt a little uneasy, and their faces became a little unpleasant.

After a while, I saw Zhang Xianling and Wu Xianwei being brought into the palace, and the two of them usually did not have the opportunity to meet the emperor, so they were also a little nervous at this time, among which Zhang Xianling was okay, after all, when he was a high school jinshi, he had entered the palace, and he was personally summoned by the emperor Li Yuan at that time, and he performed well at this time, but Wu Xianwei was much worse, and even trembled nervously, lowered his head and only cared about his feet, and did not dare to look up at all.

"Chen Xinzhu County Order (County Lieutenant), see Your Majesty!" After Zhang Xianling and Wu Xianwei came in, they immediately saluted Li Shimin. There is not such a big gap between the monarchs and ministers in this period of the Tang Dynasty, at least there is no need to bow three times and bow nine times at every turn like in the Ming and Qing dynasties, in fact, unless there is a particularly major ceremony, such as enthronement and the like, usually the courtiers do not have to kneel when they see the emperor.

"No need to be polite, I heard Yan Guogong say just now, you found out that there is another secret in the death of Monk Huiming?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice at this time, if the death of Monk Huiming really has another hidden meaning, then behind this is a big conspiracy against Li Xiu, thinking that someone dared to frame the minister he relied on the most, which made Li Shimin's face gloomy.

However, Li Shimin's mood was not good, but it scared Zhang Xianling and the two, originally the investigation of the case should have been said by Wu County Lieutenant, but he was too frightened to speak out at this time, and finally Zhang Xianling could only bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers did find out that Hui Ming's death has another hidden secret, although it is not yet known who the murderer is, but it can be concluded that Hui Ming should have died from it!" ”

"Wow~" Zhang Xianling's words were just spoken, and the entire hall couldn't help but be in an uproar, and all the ministers present began to talk about this matter one after another, and even the eldest grandson Wuji, who had been prepared, showed a surprised expression, after all, everyone said that Hui Ming died by self-immolation, but now Li Xiu found evidence that Hui Ming was killed by him, which was like a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, and the confidence of Xiao Yu and others was also removed.

Xiao Yu's face also became very ugly at this time, they originally used Hui Ming's death to cause a great turmoil among the people, so they took advantage of the situation to put pressure on the imperial court, but they didn't expect Hui Ming to die at the hands of others, which simply made them feel that their face was disgraced.

"Your Majesty, if the minister remembers well, this Zhang County Commander should be Fu Yi's student, and their masters and apprentices all hate Buddhism very much, so the minister thinks that his words are not to be believed at all!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw an official behind Xiao Yu stand up and say loudly.

"You...... You are shameless, although Zhang Li is my student, he has always been honest and honest as an official, how could he commit perjury in such a matter? As soon as the other party's words fell, he saw the hot-tempered Fu Yi jump out and retorted, and he was not angry at this time, after all, he was splashed with dirty water for no reason, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to change it.

"Hehe, I see, I didn't expect Brother Fu to have such a good student, it's really unexpected!" At this time, another person sneered and mocked, ignoring Fu Yi's defense at all.

"Shut up, don't use your villain's heart to live in the belly of a gentleman!" However, as soon as the other party's words fell, Li Xiu, who had been smiling all the time, finally couldn't help but reprimand loudly, Zhang Xianling was pulled by him to testify, but he didn't expect to be slandered out of thin air, which naturally made him very annoyed.

Seeing that Li Xiu, who had always been easy-going, was angry, and the people behind Xiao Yu were also startled, and the people who were about to open their mouths to ridicule couldn't help but shut up, and then saw Zhang Xianling's face flushed with anger and justified: "Xia Guan is not empty words, but there is physical evidence in hand, which can prove that Hui Ming died of his death!" ”

"Since you have physical evidence, then take it out and let us see it for ourselves!" Xiao Yu finally spoke at this time, but his face was also very solemn at this time.

"This ......" Zhang Xianling couldn't help but show a hesitant expression when he heard Xiao Yu let him take out the physical evidence.

"What? Shouldn't Zhang County's order be taken out? At this time, someone asked rhetorically, with a somewhat mocking tone in his tone, although Li Xiu's anger just now was somewhat deterrent, since they dared to target Li Xiu, they naturally had already been mentally prepared to offend Li Xiu.

"Of course you can take it!" Although Zhang Xianling was a lowly official, he was ridiculed several times, and at this time he was also a little angry, "It's just that the evidence is the corpse of Monk Huiming, this is the palace, and it is naturally impossible for the lower officials to bring the corpse in!" ”

"Corpses? Did you find the cause of each other's death on the corpse? Xiao Yu asked again at this time.

"The cause of Hui Ming's death is still uncertain, but we got the guidance of the colt and found that Hui Ming was definitely not burned to death, but was burned after death!" Zhang Xianling said loudly again at this time, and he did not dare to hide Li Xiu's merits in this matter.

Hearing that the cause of Hui Ming's death was discovered under the guidance of Li Xiu, the eldest grandson Wuji and the others also showed surprised expressions again, and Li Shimin even said directly: "Don Ma, how did you find out that Hui Ming was not burned to death?" ”

"Your Majesty, the corpse was burned very badly, and it was impossible to distinguish the original appearance, so it is impossible to determine whether the other party is Hui Ming or not, but Hui Ming's degree was found near the corpse, and the reason why the minister concluded that this person was not burned to death is because the inside of his mouth and nose is very clean, and he did not inhale any soot at all, so it can be concluded that the other party must have been burned after death!" Li Xiu replied immediately, although he had not studied criminal investigation, he grew up watching Conan and was proficient in hundreds of murder methods, and he naturally knew this common sense.

"Just because there is no soot in the mouth and nose of the corpse, the colt concludes that the other party was burned after death, is this too hasty?" Xiao Yu snorted coldly when he heard this, he thought that Li Xiu had some evidence in his hands, but he didn't expect that it was just judging from the corpse, which made him feel that he had hope of turning the tables, and his face recovered a little.

"Sloppy? It seems that Xiao Xiang doesn't know how to conduct an autopsy at all, and it just so happens that Lieutenant Wu, who came today, is a master in this area, so let's listen to his opinion! Seeing the expression on Xiao Yu's face, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile again, overthrowing the cause of Hui Ming's death was only his first step, and he also had a hole card in his hand, as long as he turned over this hole card, Xiao Yu's gang would have to follow the bad luck, but the ridiculous other party didn't notice it at all.
