"You are talking nonsense. According to what you said, you were the spy who was discovered ten days ago. Why didn't you go to the palace to report to the emperor and have to wait until now?" King Jin said coldly.
"I said, because the matter is urgent, I haven't had time to report it to the emperor. Besides, if I tell the emperor in advance, if the mastermind behind the spy runs out and makes trouble and prevents me from arresting him, who can bear this responsibility?" Chu Xuanchen said.
Speaking of this, he handed his hand to Emperor Hongyuan: "The emperor, the minister has been running around for seven days and seven nights to catch the spy. During this period, the minister had trouble sleeping and eating because he could not catch the spy. Fortunately, the minister did not give up. Finally, the whereabouts of the spy was found, and he was caught in King Jin’s Bezhuang. The minister’s move was for the country, for the safety of the army, for the people of Chu, the minister did not ask for merit, but only asked the emperor to deal with it fairly. , Return the courtier's innocence."
The implication was that Chu Xuanchen was telling the emperor not to chill his heart as a loyal official because of the false accusation of King Jin.
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
King Jin trembled with anger. He pointed at Chu Xuanchen and roared: "Chu Xuanchen, you turned black and white, you obviously went to Yun Ruoyue, and actually said that you were a spy. Li Ao is the king’s person. He is not a spy at all. You are framing all of this. Don't you say that he is a spy? Can you come up with evidence?"
"This king has no evidence, will he be taken to the palace?" Chu Xuanchen finished speaking, and nodded to Mo Li behind him.
Mo Li immediately presented two things to Emperor Hongyuan. When everyone saw it, one was a white snake-shaped jade pendant, and the other was a scroll of marching pattern.
Mo Li suddenly knelt and said: "The emperor Qi told the emperor. When Li Ao was escaping, the general waiter also saw it with his own eyes. At that time, he was holding the marching pattern in his hand. Because he fled in a panic, he also dropped this jade pendant. Hundreds of soldiers have seen this jade pendant. His Royal Highness Li sent someone to check it. This serpentine jade pendant has fine workmanship and is rare in the world. It was once awarded to King Jin by the emperor, but it is said that King Jin gave it to him again. At that time, the prince decided that it must be Li Ao who had stolen the layout, so the prince had been searching for him. Finally, the prince learned that Li Ao was hiding in a different village on the outskirts of King Jin, and he immediately led someone with him. Arrest, when the prince caught him, in front of thousands of soldiers, he found the marching pattern from Li Ao. Therefore, the emperor, the final general, and thousands of soldiers dared to guarantee with their heads, this Li Pride is a spy who steals the layout. As for what he steals the layout, and who instigated him, the general will not know when he waits."
"What? In front of thousands of soldiers?" Emperor Hongyuan's face was suddenly gloomy.
With so many soldiers testifying, it seems that what Chu Xuanchen said is true, then Li Ao is really a spy.
As for who instigated him, he could think of it with his heels.
"King Jin, you haven't actually recruited it? Did you instruct Li Ao? What did you instruct him to steal the marching pattern?" Emperor Hongyuan bit his silver teeth, staring at King Jin with hatred of iron and steel, furious.
King Jin's face turned pale suddenly, and he panicked instantly, "Father, the sons did not instruct him, really not. Li Ao, please tell me if you were framed by Chu Xuanchen, tell me!"
"Prince, yes, the young one was framed by King Li. Not long ago, the young man saw that you were in a bad mood and depressed, so he went to spy on the news and wanted to help the lord to make a comeback. The young one came from a spy, I learned that King Li was in collusion with the people of Tiansheng Kingdom, so he made his own claim and went to the northern military camp to spy on the news. The young man sneaked into the military camp at the time, and just wanted to search for evidence of the collusion between King Li and the enemy country, and give you a surprise. "
