Hearing this, Gu Ying and the others couldn't help but sneer.
The black-faced general, Lu Hanqing, was shocked. He couldn't help whispering in Yan Li's ear, "Boy, are you stupid or crazy? At this time, dignity is equivalent to dog shit. If you die, you'll have nothing. Survival is the most important thing! Besides, is it a disgrace to you to be the lackey of our prince? "
"This pig is so stupid!" Ji Hyun-woon stomped his feet in anger and cursed.
Although Yuan Fushun was also very surprised, he was experienced in life and quickly understood Yan Li's thoughts. The Crown Prince's attitude was unclear. Ji Wuyi followed the Crown Prince's lead. No one knew what kind of counterattack the second prince would do. But no matter what, the three of them were siblings of the same mother. If the prince fought with them, it was very likely that they would unite against a common enemy. Even if they could protect him in the end, it was very likely that the Kingdom of Wei would be implicated.
He sighed in his heart. He couldn't help admiring Yan Li's careful thinking. But he was also worried about the current situation.
Unless Yan Li admitted that he was a member of the Parting Hatred Palace, it would be very difficult to protect him.
If he allowed Yan Li to be taken to the Eagle Magistrate's office, even if he used his connections to save him, he would only get a corpse.
No matter what, the only thing he could do now was to stop Gu Ying from taking him away.
These thoughts turned in his mind. He made a decision and gave his old friend, the black-faced general, a look. The other side immediately understood and guarded the left and right sides of Yan Li.
"The Crown Prince and I are quite close friends. Friends are friends. We don't need other relationships to cover it up. " Yan Li looked straight at Ji Wuji. There was no longer any respect in his eyes. He said in an indifferent tone, "Since the Dragon Emperor Mansion has determined that I am guilty, why don't we let them interrogate me here. As long as the Dragon Emperor Mansion can produce evidence, you don't need to arrest me. I will leave my head here."
He had already foreseen that the Dragon Emperor Mansion would make a fuss about this. How could he leave evidence so carelessly?
The Jian Residence had already been burned to a pile of ruins. If they wanted to investigate, they would have to start from the half-mountain cottage. However, who would offend the Half Mountain Hut, which provided fine wine to the various major powers, for the sake of the Jian Family?
If they wanted to investigate now, the exam would have ended by the time the results came out.
"Hmph!" Ji Hyun-woon glared at Yan Li, then looked straight at Ji Wuji and said, "Brother Crown Prince, just like what Yan Li said, he is my friend. I can't just sit back and do nothing. Why don't you interrogate him on the spot? If he's really guilty, you just have to enforce the law impartially. I won't ask any more questions. "
This time, even Ji Wuyu was speechless. Just like what Ji Wuji said, if he was guilty, he would be tried. If he was innocent, he would be released. What else could he do?
Of course, if it weren't for Ji Hyun-woon, Yan Li wouldn't have been able to decide the venue of the interrogation.
"Then let's start," Ji Wuji said.
"Go ahead." Ji Wuyu gave Lone Eagle a look.
Lone Eagle was also complaining in his heart. He had always regarded Yan Li as a weakling. Even though Gongsun Boyue's life and death were unknown, even though the Gongsun Clan had declined because of this, he only blamed all of this on the Lihen Palace. He had never taken Yan Li seriously at all. So, where could he find the evidence now?
Since there was no evidence, there was naturally no way to interrogate him. Could it be that he had to "confess under torture" in "public view"?
"What's wrong, Lord Lone Eagle? Aren't you going to start the interrogation?" Yan Li smiled coldly.
Lone Eagle suppressed his anger and looked at Ji Wuyu. "Your Highness …"
"Interrogate!" Ji Wuyu's face was dark.
Lone Eagle stared at Yan Li fiercely. "Yan Li, let me ask you. On the day the Jian Clan was exterminated, why did you appear in Qin City by the Huai River?"
"My Lord, this is different from what you said before." Yan Li said leisurely, "You said that I was seen traveling with the leader of the Lulin community. You suspected that I colluded with the Lulin community to exterminate the Jian Clan. Then let me ask you a question. Weren't the Lulin community powerful enough to exterminate the Jian Clan? Why did you cooperate with a small figure like me? It doesn't make sense. Let me ask you another question. There were many candidates who stayed in Qin City before. Why did you suspect me? "
Lone Eagle was speechless with these two questions.
If you want to pin a crime on someone, you can always find a pretext.
In fact, the excuse used to frame someone was full of loopholes. Under the glamorous appearance of power, it looked dignified. But once the opponent was evenly matched, he immediately became a clown.
Lone Eagle felt like he had become a clown. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, he showed his ugly side. He was so angry that he wanted to tear Yan Li into pieces on the spot.
"We don't know if you massacred the Jian Clan. But what we do know is that you might have participated in the massacre of Lord Liang and his subordinates!"
At this moment, another voice rang out.
This voice was hoarse and low, like the hissing of a venomous snake. The temperature of the entire loft seemed to drop, and a cold and sinister feeling lingered in the air.
This feeling made Yan Li turn to look. When he saw the person walking out from the side door, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Li Yong!"
"Yan Li, I'm really glad that you didn't die." The newcomer laughed sinisterly. His already gloomy and pale face, coupled with his laughter, appeared especially frightening.
This person was the former commander of the Judicial Department, Li Yong.
This venomous snake had been hiding in the dark for a long time. At this moment, he finally poked his head out and bared his poisonous fangs.
"It seems like no matter where you go, selling your life has always been your forte," Yan Li said mockingly.
He was well aware of Li Yong's strength and his background. Other people might not be able to find out, but he might not.
Li Yong smiled sinisterly and walked behind Lone Eagle. He bowed and said, "Commander of the Eagle Yamen, Li Yong, greets Your Highnesses and Milords."
Lone Eagle's heart moved. "What clues did you find?"
"Milords should know that there was a murder at Yuxin Lake. Lord Liang Wenliang and his subordinates, who had gone to pursue Yan Li, all died tragically. Their corpses were destroyed." Li Yong sneered. "From the traces of battle, there was a cultivator skilled with the saber, a cultivator skilled with the sword, a cultivator skilled with the spear, and a cultivator skilled with fire. Lord Liang's Wave Technique goes without saying, but the one who destroyed the corpses was a fire expert."
