Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 215 Clearing the Suspicion
From entering the Chongde Hall, no matter whether it was Li Ru announcing his crimes in public, or he calling for so-called witnesses, Liu Yu was calm from beginning to end.

Because he knew very well that none of the four crimes in the report letter was wrong, but no matter which one he had, he had an alibi.

And when Liu Yu learned that the evidence provided by Li Ru was about things in Yiyang City, he was even less worried.

At that time, when Liu Yu was "searching for medicine" in Yiyang City, he was said to be mobilizing the army. Many people had seen him, but when he planned to attack Yiyang, Liu Yu entered the city secretly, and only Xiliang soldiers knew about it. .

After taking down Yiyang City, he asked Zhang Fei to come forward to appease the people, and spread the word throughout the city that the city was captured through tunnels.

In other words, the people in Yiyang City only knew that Liu Yu had left on the same day after searching for the medicine, and those Xiliang soldiers who knew that Liu Yu had returned to the city either surrendered and were reorganized to Mengjin County, or they were all rushed kill.

That's why Liu Yu wasn't worried at all. It was just that Liu Yu didn't want to reveal his identity at the time, just in order not to affect the plan to deal with Guo Si's army in the future, but he didn't expect that the arrangement of that day would still wash away for himself in today's hall "Crime"!
"It turns out that the king of Zhongshan left before the bandits attacked the city, so what was written in the report letter is a bit far-fetched!" Wang Yun saw that there was a chance to make a comeback, and he was the first to stand up for Liu Yu. white.

Xun Shuang and Yang Biao were not to be outdone, and stepped forward to wash away Liu Yu, because only when the doubts about Liu Yu were cleared, could the three of them be safe together.

Xun Shuang said: "It's far-fetched. What the people in Yiyang know must not be fake. From my point of view, Li Tingwei listens and believes, and punishes others if he doesn't know the truth. ah!"

Yang Biao also said: "Since the king of Zhongshan never helped the bandits to attack the city, can it be considered that the other charges in the report letter are also not credible, and someone deliberately framed the king of Zhongshan!"

Dong Bai also knew that these three people were enemies in the court of his grandfather, but at this moment, hearing the words of the three of them felt particularly pleasant.

"Did I just say it, Liu Yu is a good man! Grandpa quickly let these armored guards step down!"

At this time, Dong Zhuo basically dispelled his doubts about Liu Yu, but Li Ru couldn't give up because once he conceded, he would have to face Liu Yu's ruthless revenge.

"Guo Si's death may have nothing to do with King Zhongshan, but...he secretly hid the talented Cai Yan in his home, and even entered into a marriage contract with her. This is digging the corner of the Grand Master!"

Li Ru's mentality was already confused, and he even forgot that Dong Zhuo disliked others saying that he was lustful. It seemed that he had already risked everything in order to convict Liu Yu.

At this time, Dong Bai stood up angrily, and said, "Aren't you forgetful! Didn't the princess explain it to you before, I went to Liu Yu's house, and his fiancee's name is Zou Huimin! And me Grandpa just admires Cai Yong's writing skills, and he doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about his daughter, you talk nonsense, do you want to ruin my grandfather's reputation?"

Li Ru was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "Just now, I was talking nonsense from an inferior official, and please calm down, my lord!"

With Dong Bai coming forward, no one would dare to doubt Liu Yu about the matter of Cai Yong's father and daughter, and Dong Bai pleaded for Liu Yu again and again, which also made Liu Yu understand the other party's concern and affection.

But Li Ru didn't give up, and continued to target Liu Yu while kneeling on the ground.

Li Ru said: "Even if Cai Yong's father and daughter are not accused of crimes, does Hu Zhen's death have something to do with King Zhongshan?"

Li Ru was in charge of the case of Hu Zhen's murder, but after a long investigation, there was no clue, and finally it became a case without a clue.

The incident occurred just before Guo Si's army went out, and Lu Bu happened to send people out of the city to hunt down Cai Yong's father and daughter. Dong Zhuo misunderstood this as Lu Bu's secret plan to sabotage the army's expedition, so he adopted Li Ru's suggestion and sent Liu Yu and others to the city. Monitor the whereabouts of Lu Bu's subordinates.

At that time, Hu Zhen, the general of the Governor's Battalion, was sent to the south gate of Luoyang, but in the end he and his subordinates all disappeared, and there are still people alive but no corpses!
Li Ru continued: "After all, nothing is groundless. Since someone reported that King Zhongshan killed Hu Zhen, it means that you are suspected! Unless you can produce evidence to prove your innocence!"

Liu Yu still had no pressure on his face, and explained with a smile: "I was sent to the west gate of Luoyang at that time, and I returned to the city with Zhang Xiu. I had never been to the south gate at all. The little soldier who guarded the west gate that day, you can know it just by asking!"

Liu Yu killed Hu Zhen in order to become an ally with Lu Bu. He dared to kill him, so he had made perfect preparations, and no one would suspect that he was the murderer.

Sure enough, when Liu Yu finished explaining, the junior Zheng Wei raised his hand and reported: "I want to report to the Grand Master, the villain was on duty at the west gate of Luoyang that day. Returned from Simon!"

Calculated according to the time, if Liu Yu left the city from the west gate of Luoyang, went around to the south gate to kill Hu Zhen, and then went back to the city in the direction of the west gate, it would take at least two to three hours even if he was riding a war horse.

In that case, Liu Yu would not be able to advance to the city in the dark, so the third charge would be self-defeating.

But the fact is that Liu Yu asked Liu Bei to pretend to be his west gate, and in this way he could save half of the time, so that after killing Hu Zhen, he could go around to the west gate of Luoyang in time and advance to the city before dark.

That day, in order to leave evidence that Liu Yu could not go to the south of Luoyang to commit murder, Liu Yu deliberately chatted with the pawns guarding the west gate for a while, so that they could deepen their impression.

What he didn't expect was that the primary school Zheng Wei was also on duty that day.

Zheng Wei also indirectly helped Liu Yu get rid of the two crimes, which made Liu Yu unavoidably have a good impression of him, thinking that one day when he meets again, he can be promoted.

Liu Yu was easily cleared of three charges in a row. This is called Li Ru's chaos. If Liu Yu still cannot be convicted of the last charge, then he is very likely to be the unlucky one who takes the blame for Dong Zhuo.

"The rebel army appeared in the southeast and southwest at the same time. The person who reported it said in the letter that it was the king of Zhongshan who was secretly contacting and coordinating. I wonder if you have evidence to clear this charge?" Li Ru's tone became weaker, obviously no longer the previous one. confidence.

Because even if Liu Yu couldn't prove it, Li Ru also had no evidence to prove that the crime written in the report letter must be true and credible.

Looking at the previous three charges of framing Liu Yu, it would be difficult for Dong Zhuo to believe that Liu Yu and Zhu Jun secretly colluded.

"Hey! God's calculations are worse than people's calculations. I didn't expect Liu Yu to have no flaws at all. This is not a report letter against Liu Yu. It's simply someone deliberately plotting and playing tricks on me, Li Ru!"

Li Ru was disheartened, and just when he wanted to give up asking for the last evidence, he heard Liu Yu say loudly: "I have evidence, which can not only prove my innocence, but also prove who wrote this slander letter! "
