After Li Shimin's recruitment of troops, in the middle of the night, he embarked on the journey back to the eastern capital.

Before leaving, he visited Wang Chonggu again for his brother Li Xuandao and the matter of the embroidered clothes and guards from other places to enter Beijing. As a result, the two of them only settled these two things in a few words.

The former was temporarily transferred to his command in the name of important witnesses and meritorious service. If he really made a special contribution in the process of investigating the case, he could be exempted from criminal responsibility -- this was just a trivial matter, and Wang Chonggu would not fail to give him this face; as for the embroidered clothes guard, it was also very simple, Li Shimin went to the Yan Wang's tent before this, and asked the Yan King Yang Qi for a handwritten letter.

Li Shimin would not be stupid enough to believe Yu Wenshiji's words, a character like Wang Chonggu, if he can not be offended, it is better not to be offended.

In Li Shimin's view, it is undoubtedly the most stupid thing to go over Wang Chonggu and ask the Son of Heaven for help. Maybe the latter wouldn't care, but he couldn't afford to take the risk. Wang Chonggu may have asked for him in the future, but now he Li Shimin is mostly asking for Wang Chonggu.

However, if it is replaced by the order of King Yan, the situation will be completely different.

The favor of the future prince, even if it is the prince who is the ambassador of embroidery clothes, he can't help but care.

And King Yan himself is also willing to help. A handwritten letter can bring Li Shimin and Wang Chonggu, the two pillars of the imperial court, closer together, and idiots will do it.

It is necessary to know that human affection must have contacts in order to be intimate.

If he, Li Shimin, has always had no desire for this highness, then even if the latter wants to rely on him, he will have scruples.

In the case of Wang Chonggu, the situation is the same. This person's identity and position are very sensitive, and even if he has the heart to get close to this future prince, he needs to take into account the perception of the Son of Heaven. It seems that this kind of opportunity to be able to be honest and honest to King Yan is a good opportunity, but it is extremely rare.

In fact, this prince was in a very good mood after getting the handwritten letter from King Yan, not only responded to Li Shimin's requests, but also took the initiative to recommend two candidates.

They are all masters who have cultivated to the second grade and have the strength of a general. Compared with the two shadow guards around Li Shimin, it is not much worse.

Then Li Shimin took Luo Li and Yuan Tianhao and a few other dozen people, as well as two dragon blood battle puppets, and left the camp in a hurry.

Li Shimin has already handed over the roster back to Wang Chonggu's hands. But most of the subordinates he selected were in Luoyang City. He must wait until he returns to the Eastern Capital before he can summon these people.

At this time, Li Shimin had already returned to his heart like an arrow, and in less than two hours, he had already seen the Jianchun Gate in the east of Luoyang.

But when he arrived at the city gate, Li Shimin received bad news from an embroidered guard who came to report the news.

Webster, the wife of the prince's wife in Yuen Long, had committed suicide by poisoning a day earlier. Li Shimin immediately frowned, and Le Ma stopped in place and groaned silently.

In fact, this result did not surprise him.

If he is the mastermind behind the scenes, he will not continue to leave this line if Webster is really in trouble. It will be cut off and erased at the first time.

It's no wonder that the embroidered clothes guard and Si Litai are concerned, and they don't dare to ask Wang Yang Jin to force a confession, and Yang Yong himself confessed too late.

After Li Shimin pondered for a while, he decisively turned the horse's head and galloped away in the direction of Quanshanfang.

About half a quarter later, Li Shimin had already arrived in front of Yuen Long's mansion. There is no white flag hanging here, and there is no mourning hall inside, obviously the prince is also very aware that his wife Wei Shi is not seriously involved in this rebellion case, and he does not dare to mourn for him.

Li Shimin estimated that this person was also reluctant, and his wife not only committed adultery with the king of Qi, but also involved others in a major case of rebellion.

But Li Shimin sympathized with him, but he still pushed the door in without hesitation and strode towards the back of this mansion.

This has long been occupied by the embroidered guards and the people of Si Litai, almost three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, including Yuen Long himself, all the relatives and subordinates in the palace are kneeling in front of the main hall, guarded by more than a dozen embroidered guards,

Li Shimin didn't even look at Yuen Long, and walked directly to the side hall. And when he arrived, many people here immediately knelt down to him.

"Humble rank, see Lord Kaifu!"

"Get up!"

Li Shimin has already swept through this group of people, and there are few people who pay attention to it, among which the highest official rank is only an embroidered clothes guard, and Si Litai is simply just an eight-rank official.

Presumably, after discovering that Webster was dead and the clues on this side had been cut off, the high-level officials of the two families had already evacuated from here.

"Has the corpse been verified?"

Li Shimin walked to the coffin placed in the center of the side hall, and looked at the corpse inside with scrutiny.

During Wei's lifetime, it can indeed be called a flower and a moon, and the country is beautiful and fragrant, otherwise it would not have fascinated Yang Xuan, the king of Qin.

But at this time, this Webster's face was blue and black, and he was not wearing a shroud, and a knife mark was cut on his body, which was really not a beautiful word.

"I have experienced it, and it is the best work in Luoyang City. ”

The embroidered man replied with a respectful expression: "Wei Shi died in the red clothes of the crane, and nothing else was found to be abnormal." In addition, Webster's close slave maid was also like her, dying of the same poison. ”

"Even the maid is dead?"

Zhang Yurou, who was following behind Li Shimin, couldn't help but have a different look in her eyes: "These people are really ruthless!"

Li Shimin looked carefully, but he didn't see why, fortunately, he brought an expert this time.

"Yuan Yi, it's up to you next. ”

Yuan Yi is Li Xuandao's word, Li Shimin turned his head as he spoke, and looked at his clan brother: "Although I have interceded for you on the day of the prince, but whether you can get rid of your guilt in the end, brother, still depends on yourself,"

Li Xuandao's state was very bad, his face was pale, and his breath was weak. When he was detained three days ago, he was given a full 30 lashes. After that, he was tortured by the embroidered guards, and he was covered with wounds all over his body.

Then as soon as he was released, he had to follow Li Shimin to gallop for two hours.

But he took it upon himself to come to the coffin and examine it carefully, and even opened the wound on Na Webster's body and looked at the internal organs.

And a moment later, this one walked out of the side hall and asked the slaves and maids of the Yuanfu who were kneeling outside.

Zhang Yurou looked at it in her eyes and couldn't help but look curious: "Did he find something? What kind of mystery is he doing?"

"Wait for him to reply!"

Li Shimin was very patient and watched quietly. He didn't wait long, Li Xuandao only asked a few people, and then returned to Li Shimin.

"Lord Kaifu! Xiaguan has met with this Wei Shi no less than ten times, and found that this woman's posture is slightly different from the one I have seen before. But Xia Guan also examined her face, and there was no trace of disfigurement. ”

"Huh?"

Li Shimin suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly: "You mean, the corpse in the coffin is not the Webster you have seen." In other words, the Wei family who entered and left the Qi Wang's Mansion was not the real Wei family, was there any evidence?"

This woman's lower limbs are shorter than that of Webster, her shoulders are slightly wider, and her hair is a little different. This is just the feeling of the lower official himself, and there is no evidence to prove it. But—"

Li Xuandao's voice paused: "Xia Guan has observed this Wei's stomach bag, and there are still a lot of mushrooms in the food residues inside. But the lower officials asked the cooks here, but they repeatedly assured the lower officials that this kind of food had never been done in Wang Lang's mansion recently. ”

"In other words, most of the Webster you've seen is still alive in this world, right?"

The corners of Li Shimin's lips were slightly raised: "Then it is possible to trace the traces of this woman?"

Li Xuandao didn't reply this time, but glanced at the people around him.

Li Shimin comprehended, and turned to the embroidered clothes next to him and said, "Did you hear what my clan brother said just now? I can tell your superiors as soon as possible, as soon as possible!"

He is not afraid of embroidered clothes and guards and Si Litai to grab credit, and it is most important to find out the mastermind behind the rebellion case and the people of the Demon Dragon Babu as soon as possible.

After saying this, Li Shimin walked outside like the wind again. But as he passed by that Yuen Long, he paused.

"Don't worry, most of your wives are innocent, and it is unlikely that they will do anything that is not good for Brother Yuan. ”

Yuen Long's body trembled slightly, and he looked up at Li Shimin in disbelief. But the latter has already walked away and walked out of the gate of the Yuan Mansion.

When the group galloped away from the Yuan Mansion again, Li Shimin asked again.

"Yuan Yi, can you talk about it now? But there is a way to find this woman. ”

"Back in Kaifu, I'm not sure, but I think I'll probably be able to find it. ”

Li Xuandao hugged his fists on the horse: "I think this woman is usually a socialist, a place where she often walks around, as well as the jewelry rouge she uses, etc., it is likely that there are clues about her." For Webster, Xia Guan also happens to know something, but this needs to be investigated manually. ”

"For such a question, I will send you thirty people later, and then let Luo Li follow you throughout the whole process to ensure that you are safe. I only have one request, find this woman for me as soon as possible. ”

Li Shimin smiled with satisfaction: "Actually, Yuan Yi doesn't need to see each other like this, you and I are relatives of the same clan, and Yuan Yi can usually call me Erlang, or Pilu Sha." ”

Li Xuandao didn't seem to hear what he said, and his face was indifferent: "Humble and obey the order of the opening of the mansion!"

Li Shimin's expression was slightly stunned, and he glanced at this person fixedly, then shook his head slightly, and looked away disapprovingly.

The so-called people have their own aspirations, and he will not force Li Xuandao.

And then he has countless things to do, and he really bothered to bother with this person.
