Pei Mian's loud scolding shocked the audience. Wang Lu immediately came to his senses and realized that only by saving his brother Wang Ji could he save his life.

Yang Zhao glanced at Pei Mian meaningfully, and said in his tone: "If Wang Jiao really knows, it's useless for you to hide it, if you really don't know, we can find out if you bite us."

Wang Wei replied without hesitation: "The matter between me and Xing Wei, my brother doesn't know, it's all planned by us in private."

Hearing this, Yang Zhao glanced at Pei Mian lightly and spit out three words: "Use the torture."

The interrogation of Wang Kun lasted from the morning to midnight, Wang Kun was tortured to the point that he was inhuman, and some people who had anything to do with him were not spared, and the murder of the warlock Ren Haichuan and the murder of Tang Xuanzong's nephew Wei were exposed to the people. The story of the incident is more detailed than Wang Kun's own account.

Wang Qi was not the only one who was looking for the warlock Ren Haichuan to go to the mansion to see his face, Wang Ji also participated. Wang Lu secretly asked if he had the spirit of a king, and Wang Ji heard about it when he returned home that day.

According to the decree of the Tang Dynasty, the minister befriending the warlock is to be severely punished, the fortune teller Ren Haichuan knew that this was a matter forbidden by the imperial court, and he was very panicked.

But Wang Ji was still worried that Ren Haichuan would tell him about it, and secretly sent people to search for him in private, and it was not difficult for the catchers of Jingzhao Mansion to arrest a person, although Ren Haichuan hid in the northwest and had left the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion, but he was still caught. Wang Ji instructed his subordinates to fabricate another crime, put Ren Haichuan to death, and killed this person to extinguish his mouth.

Wang Qi did this very secretively, but because the arrest process was more complicated, many people followed in, Wang Qi and the warlock Ren Haichuan asked if they had the spirit of a king, or someone inadvertently leaked out.

Someone with a heart secretly reported the matter to Wei Hui, the son of Princess Anding, the daughter of Tang Zhongzong. Wei will take this as a joke and listen to it to the master of the horse.

Originally, the things that were being talked about in the inner room should not be heard, but what they didn't pay attention to was that a little maid guarding the door listened. The maid was quick to speak, and passed the matter on to other good people.

One by one, the words of Wei's mansion spread out of the palace wall like a gust of wind and reached Wang Jie's ears.

This news shocked Wang Jie's heart, and the plan to kill an example was instantly generated in his heart.

The vicious Wang Ji ordered Jia Jilin, the governor of Chang'an County, to arrest Wei Hui into the cell of Chang'an County, and directly strangled Wei Hui to death when the night was dark and the wind was high.

In terms of blood relationship, Wei Hui's mother is Tang Xuanzong's cousin, and Wei Hui is Tang Xuanzong's cousin, which can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, but those who know about it dare not talk about it. The fact that Wei Hui's conversation in his private room had been leaked, and that his relatives had lost their lives today, could not but be feared.

When the transcript of the inquiry was handed over to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, he couldn't believe that the person he had always trusted and reused could do so many sensational deceptions.

That night, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji issued: Give Wang Ji an edict to commit suicide.

Wang Jie's crimes are many, and the edict is listed in detail, written three feet long, listing Wang Zhun bullying the concubine Wang Xuan, asking the princess to serve him tea and pour water, the warlock Ren Haichuan was killed, Wei was strangled and had close contacts with Xing Wei, and connived at his younger brother Wang Jiao to participate in the rebellion and other crimes, saying that Wang Jiao "harbored treachery and harbored accidents".

Wang Ji is a minister personally promoted by Tang Xuanzong, and now there must be an excuse when something happens, Xuanzong said in the edict, Wang Ji "is fierce in nature, and treacherous in nature", which means that Wang Ji was not a good person in the first place, and the emperor was deceived by him.

The general trend has gone, Wang Jie committed suicide that night, and Wang Jie was killed by the rod on the spot in the court. Later, Wang Zhun's son Wang Zhun was expelled from public office and killed on the way. Wang's wife and daughter were also exiled.

When Wang Jie's family property was confiscated, Tang Xuanzong learned that 60% of the money collected by Wang Jiao fell into his own pocket, and only a small part was handed over to him.

Wang Jie's mansion is located in the Taiping Fang in Chang'an City, there is a water-cooled pavilion in the garden of the house, the people at that time called it "self-rain pavilion", the flowing water pours down from the top of the pavilion, flows down the eaves of the pavilion to the ground, forming a circle of water curtain, sitting in this pavilion even in the middle of summer will feel cool like late autumn. Tang Xuanzong also built this kind of pavilion in the palace, and people who are weak will be rolling in their abdomen after staying in the pavilion for a while, of course, not because they have a good plan but because they have a cold stomach.

There is also a well in Wang Jie's house, and the well railings at the mouth of the well are inlaid with jewels and gold, which can be described as sky-high well columns. At the scene of the raid, the officials in charge of registering Wang Jie's property did not finish it for several days. The main book of Wannian County was concealed because of his mercy when registering assets, and he was punished afterwards.

Wang Jie's family property was returned to the treasury, but it was difficult to dispel the evil anger in the heart of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, implying that the hundred officials were not allowed to collect Wang Jie's body. The ministers who were usually good friends with Wang Jie, and their subordinates were afraid that they would be affected, and no one dared to come forward to do this, so Wang Jiao was swept up by a grass sweep and thrown into a mass grave.

Pei Mian couldn't see it, so he buried him in a mass grave in the dead of night.

Wang Jie's death was actually planned by Yang Zhao, in the final analysis, it was the competition between the two factions of Li Linfu and Yang Zhao, and in this war, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's attitude made Yang Zhao finally gain the upper hand and became the biggest beneficiary of Wang Jie's case.

The envoys held by Wang Ji during his lifetime, as well as important positions such as Imperial Doctor and Jing Zhaoyin, were all taken over by Yang Zhao. Yang Zhao also continued to dig deep into the Xing Wei case, trying to prove that Li Linfu had a close personal relationship with Wang Ji and Wang Weld.

Yang Zhao said to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: When investigating the case of Wang Jie, the right minister Li Linfu and Lord Li had found the minister many times, asked the minister to open the net, and let the king go. In addition, Lord Wang and Lord Li have a very good personal relationship, and his official position as a doctor was won by Lord Li for him.

"The two of them really have a good personal relationship?" Tang Xuanzong Li Longji further confirmed.

"Yes, the relationship between the two of them is already an open secret in the court, Wang Ji is only the right prime minister, otherwise according to the character of the right minister Li, will he be willing to intercede for Lord Wang? The minister suspected that the two of them were suspected of forming a party. ”

Yang Zhao knew that what Tang Xuanzong Li Longji hated most was that the courtiers formed a party for personal gain, so he deliberately pronounced the word 'party' very seriously.

Sure enough, as Yang Zhao expected, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's face changed when he heard this, he could connive at Li Linfu's extravagance and corruption, he could condone him to expel dissidents, and even he could turn a blind eye to the attack on the crown prince Li Xiang, but he couldn't form a party for personal gain.
