Li Rulong was shocked, "But, but we don't have any evidence."
Yan Li said, "We don't need evidence."
"We don't need evidence?" Li Rulong said, "Even if your judgment is correct, what is in the hidden compartment that made the marshal kill him?"
Yan Li said, "It's just some evidence that can expose his disguise."
Li Rulong said helplessly, "But where can we find that evidence now? Even if it's true, it must be hidden somewhere."
"We don't need evidence," Yan Li said.
Li Rulong was shocked, "We don't need evidence?"
Yan Li smiled and said, "Because there's another truth to this whole matter. Now, go and gather everyone here. Tell them that I know who the murderer is. I will tell them everything clearly in front of everyone. "
Li Rulong's expression changed, "You want to announce it now? Not tomorrow? "
Yan Li asked curiously, "Why wait until tomorrow?"
Li Rulong said, "Because tomorrow is the deadline. Usually, the deadline is the time when the murderer is most relaxed. Otherwise, he might come out and cause trouble. "
Yan Li said, "I want to catch him off guard."
Summoning people could be done by instructing the soldiers. Soon, the bamboo courtyard was filled with people.
Zhang Zhidong, who lived in the residence, was the first to arrive. He looked calm, without sadness or anger, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life.
Dai Shaobao and Qu Zhengping followed behind Zhang Zhidong. Other than them, there were more than ten generals.
Surprisingly, Sun Bo also came with his men. As the chief of detectives of Rong City, he was qualified to participate in any murder case.
On the college's side, Shen Liuyun was the leader. Ji Zhiyuan was nowhere to be found.
Lianhai Changjin walked over and whispered, "Her Majesty is missing. We can't find her anywhere."
Yan Li replied nonchalantly, "He was probably worried, so he went to investigate on his own. Don't worry. With her strength, how could she get lost? "
Lianhai Changjin said, "But don't we have to wait for Her Majesty to come and reveal the truth?"
Yan Li said, "Just repeat it afterwards. I'll leave this task to you."
Lianhai Changjin knew that once he decided to do something, very few people could change his mind. He could only smile bitterly.
"Now that everyone is here, how much longer do you want to wait?" Dai Shaobao said coldly.
Yan Li said faintly, "This is a very long story. I'll make it clear in advance that if you have any questions, you can raise them on the spot. I won't answer any more questions after that."
Dai Shaobao said impatiently, "What long story? Isn't it just to uncover the identity of the murderer? Hurry up and tell me who the murderer is so I can tear him apart!"
Yan Li ignored him and sat down on the steps of the bamboo building. Without Li Rulong by his side, he immediately stood out like a crane in a flock of chickens. He looked like the leader of his subordinates.
This position really made people unhappy, but there was nothing they could do about it.
"Who is the murderer? Allow me to keep you in suspense." Yan Li said, "First of all, I want to say that the plan to assassinate Aguba has failed."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Aguba dead? "A general could not help but reprimand him.
Yan Li said, "I have to say that His Majesty's plan was very detailed. If it wasn't leaked, there was an 80% chance of success."
"Leaked?" Everyone's expressions changed. Sun Bo said, "Are you saying that someone betrayed His Majesty?"
"Who is it that dares to collude with the Desolate race!?" The crowd was enraged. They looked like they wanted to hack the traitor into pieces.
Just as Yan Li was about to speak, he suddenly heard a voice transmission, "Ji Zhiyuan is now in my hands."
His expression changed slightly as he searched the crowd.
"If you want her to live, speak according to my wishes. I know you know what I want. "The voice continued.
Yan Li narrowed his eyes slightly.
Everyone suddenly realized that Yan Li was no longer speaking. They pressed, "Who is the traitor? Hurry up and say it!"
"What's there to panic about?" Yan Li suddenly laughed. "The traitor is naturally your marshal."
The voice said with satisfaction, "A wise man submits to circumstances. I will consider sparing your and her life."
He was satisfied, but his words shocked everyone present.
Ma Guanshan nearly jumped up. He said angrily, "Yan Li, do you know what the crime of slandering a second-grade general of the court is? Executing your entire family is considered a light punishment."
"Bastard, die!" A few impulsive generals immediately charged forward to kill Yan Li.
Zhang Zhidong suddenly raised his hand to stop them. He said calmly, "I only want to know. What makes you think I'm a traitor?"
Yan Li said, "Because you have colluded with Aguba for a long time."
"Little Yan, if you dare slander the marshal again, even if I have to die a horrible death, I will make sure your blood splatters on the spot!" Qu Zhengping's suppressed anger finally exploded.
Yan Li suddenly roared, "A whole twelve years!"
His voice was like a clap of thunder, exploding in the small bamboo yard. The buzzing sounds of discussion immediately stopped, and there was a strange silence.
Yan Li's eyes were sharp as he stared at Zhang Zhidong. "The murder of the Huo family twelve years ago was orchestrated by you. The so-called spy of the Desolate was not Azhari, but one of Huo Xiu's disciples who replaced Aguba."
Zhang Zhidong remained silent.
A general shouted, "Where's the evidence?"
"Cangyang." Yan Li suddenly shouted.
A figure suddenly jumped in from outside the yard.
"It's the new King of the Desolate. Protect the marshal!"
"Don't worry, I'm not here to start a war." Cangyang came to Yan Li with a parcel in her arms. She opened the parcel and revealed a box.
"Everyone, please look. I don't know this person, but you should be familiar with him." Cangyang slowly opened the box, revealing a frozen human head.
"It's Aguba!" Ma Guanshan could not help but widen his eyes. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that Aguba had died like this.
"Don't worry." Cang Yang smiled charmingly, groping around the human head's face, she actually tore off the human skin from the face.
"A human skin mask?" Lianhai Changjin was surprised. "I thought only the Sacred World Palace had the ability to do this."
"Isn't … isn't this Huo Zheng?" An old general suddenly exclaimed. "Didn't he die twelve years ago?"
Those who recognized this person were all old generals who had stayed in Rong City for more than fifteen years.
Those who did not know this person also learned of his identity from the old generals.
This person was Huo Zheng, the adopted son of Huo Xiu.
Yan Li said faintly, "I haven't been in contact with him for a long time, but his every action is like that of a traditional aristocratic son. He speaks the common language even more fluently than many of the nobles of Yongling. It was not until I took a blow from him with the Hidden Sword Incantation and found that he used genuine Qi that I was sure he was not Aguba. "
Sun Bo said calmly, "Then how did you know he was one of Huo Xiu's disciples?"
Yan Li said, "Because of the Heaven Wounding Fist. Tashi Doji paid the price with his life to find out the truth. Before coming to Rong City, I did not know who Huo Xiu was, but I had heard of the Heaven Wounding Fist. From then on, I already knew that someone in Rong City must have colluded with Huo Zheng to benefit from it. "
Sun Bo nodded. "The Heaven Wounding Fist's power is insidious and overbearing. It destroys the foundation of one's cultivation. Therefore, those who were killed by the Heaven Wounding Fist looked as if they were killed by the boldness. This also explains why Huo Zheng had not been discovered for so many years. Then how did you know that the person Huo Zheng colluded with was the Marshal? "
Yan Li said, "Because after Huo Xiu's death, he and his family benefited the most. After that, he could constantly ask for supplies from the imperial court to strengthen his family. After a whole twelve years, even a tiny mosquito would have become a huge creature. However, the Dragon Subduing Army became stronger and stronger, gradually breaking a certain balance. "
"What balance?" Sun Bo asked.
Yan Li said, "The balance of power between the Desolate God Army and the Dragon Subduing Army. He did not expect that because of the Dragon Subduing Army's strength, it made Ji Tiansheng feel a sense of danger. She might have sensed the danger, so she was determined to get rid of the Desolate Race and curb the Dragon Subduing Army's strength. Coincidentally, the barbarians handed over the covenant book at this time, so everything went according to plan. "
The generals were so engrossed that they had forgotten to pursue his crime of calling His Majesty by his name.
Sun Bo said, "He was afraid that his plot would be exposed, so he leaked the secret during the Flame Worship Festival to kill His Majesty?"
"We'll talk about this later." Yan Li kept them in suspense. "What I want to say now is that because of my existence, his plan had deviated, so he had to think of ways to make up for it."
"What deviated?" Sun Bo asked.
Yan Li said, "I killed Azhari."
Sun Bo said, "So what if you killed Azhari?"
Yan Li said, "He was afraid that Huo Xiu's descendants would come to me and tell me the truth."
Sun Bo said, "Aren't Huo Xiu's descendants all dead?"
Yan Li said, "Tashi Duoji said that the entire Rong City is Huo Xiu's descendants."
Sun Bo smiled and said, "That's not wrong."
Yan Li said, "So he had to use the excuse of colluding with the Desolate Race to imprison me in the Blackwater Court."
Sun Bo said, "This way, he could prevent Huo Xiu's descendants from coming into contact with you."
Yan Li said, "But later, he felt that it wasn't safe."
Sun Bo said, "Indeed, it wasn't safe. I could think of more than ten ways to come into contact with you."
Yan Li said, "So he sent a spy to stay by my side."
Sun Bo said, "Who was the spy?"
Yan Li looked at Li Rulong lightly. "To gain my trust, the fastest way was to save me. It just so happened that I killed Azhari, giving him a perfect excuse. "
Li Rulong's expression changed slightly before he gradually calmed down. He said, "How did you find out?"
Yan Li said, "When we were leaving the city, we crashed into a car. Your reaction was too intense, so I began to suspect you."
