Pei Min faced Li Longji's questioning and said: "Use the fastest speed, the most severe means, and the most effective way to catch all the masterminds, accomplices and all people in the know involved in this matter, and severely punish them together." ”

Wang Jie's heart changed slightly, and he looked at Pei Min with some apprehension.

Li Longji asked: "Could it be that Jingyuan already knows who did it?" ”

Pei Min shook his head and said, "There is no clue for the time being. ”

Wang Jie's eyebrows were soothing, and there was a bit of mockery in his eyes.

Li Longji was surprised: "Then how can you catch the other party?" ”

Pei Min clenched his fists and said: "The biggest mistake of the thief is that he chooses to be the enemy of the court without knowing the height of the sky, and thinks that he is very smart and hides deeply, but he is actually the biggest fool. Two bodies were left at the scene of the assassination, and the two bodies are evidence. They are outsiders, so when they come to Chang'an, they will definitely pass through various cities and counties and checkpoints along the way, and they must have been recorded, and they can be investigated along the way. ”

"In addition, I beg Your Majesty to issue a decree to send me the fifteen provinces of the Tang Dynasty, three hundred and twenty-eight prefectures, one thousand five hundred and seventy-three counties, and all the administrative officials of all the relevant passes and ports under the heavens. Ask them to investigate all recorded offices. All the people who entered Beijing were selected one by one and asked why. Conduct a nationwide, carpet search. ”

"If you don't do it for half a month, there will be results......"

Li Longji was a little frightened.

This kind of investigation is not a matter of three justices, but the investigation of this case with the strength of the whole country.

Wang Jie's expression changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Is the county king too favoritism?" We know about your friendship with He Shangshu, but with the power of the whole country, how much manpower and material resources will be spent. Could it be that the king of the county wants me to do nothing for thousands of officials and run around for this case? ”

"Why not?" Pei Min has long defined Wang Ji as the object of suspicion.

Although the information in his hand shows that it is Yang Jieyu who has a gap with He Zhizhang, it has nothing to do with Wang Jie.

But Pei Min believed that Wang Ji would definitely be involved.

Because Yang Jieyu has no hard power, she is indeed a high power now, but her status and power all come from Li Longji, and she is nothing without Li Longji. And she is in the palace, acting constrained, obviously not having the ability to overtake this kind of thing.

Wang Ji is undoubtedly Yang Jieyu's most powerful helper outside the palace, and he has no reason to stay out of the matter.

There were no scruples here, and he said directly-for-tat: "Wang Taifu is too naïve, do you really think this is a simple case?" Your Majesty, you may not know much about my old brother, who is the kind of person who does not desire power, is upright, and open-minded. He never fought with anyone, nor did he disdain to fight with anyone. has lived most of his life and has never made enemies with anyone, who would be so laborious to ask a master from other places to take his life? The minister had reason to suspect that this was not a vendetta, but a political murder. Some people felt that the old brother was in his way, so he sent someone to kill him. That's true, it's just too bad. ”

When Li Longji heard this, his expression froze.

He is affectionate and ruthless, and he cares for the people he approves, and treats those who don't care like a mustard.

He Zhizhang is just one of those people he doesn't care about, if it weren't for Pei Min's relationship, he would have thrown it directly to Dali Temple to deal with, and he didn't even bother to ask.

Hearing Pei Min's guess, Li Longji's eyes flashed.

Officialdom has the laws of officialdom, and temples have temple systems.

Li Longji, as an emperor, is indispensable for emperors.

In addition to indulging in cronies like Pei Min and Wang Jie, he controls a certain balance for everyone else.

Just like Zhang said, the radicals and the conservatives of Li Yuanhong and Yu Wenrong.

Zhang said that as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, he has not been able to overpower Li Yuanhong and Yu Wenrong because of Li Longji's deliberate control of the balance.

Now that Zhang Shuo has retired, Yu Wenrong intends to be promoted to prime minister, and Li Longji has been leaving because he does not want to see the conservatives dominate and is looking for new candidates.

Li Longji did not rule out factions fighting each other in the temple, which also helped his management.

But because of political fighting, hatred is derived, and murder is a bottom line that no emperor can accept.

If everyone is like this, when a political enemy appears, thinking not about how to curry favor with himself, the emperor, but directly buying murder, then won't the temple become a place to encourage murder?

What is the meaning of existence as an emperor?

This wind must not last!

Li Longji has already made up his mind.

Pei Min pushed again at this time and said, "Your Majesty attaches so much importance to this matter, and there are two other benefits. The first is to make the people of the world aware of His Majesty's concern for his courtiers. Second, it can also give the world a warning bell, for such a bad incident, His Majesty will not tolerate it, and prevent it from getting worse. ”

Li Longji suddenly stood up and said: "What Jingyuan said is reasonable, He Shangshu is a member of my court, and I will never allow my courtiers to suffer such an unexplained offense. Just act according to Jingyuan's attention, I want to let the thieves know that the law and discipline of my Datang cannot be violated. ”

Pei Min didn't wait for Wang Ji to speak, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

He said and glanced at Wang Ji thoughtfully.

The Tang Dynasty's pass was like the ID card of later generations, but it was more stringent than the ID card.

Travel in this era is not as casual as in later generations.

Anyone who goes far away needs to find an official in their county town to issue a certificate, which will indicate where to go and what to do, that is, to pass the office.

Without it, no one can cross the pass, no one can enter the city, and you can only follow the route marked on the pass. If you are on the way, you have something to do and want to change direction, you also need to find an official and reissue the certificate. Otherwise, if you go elsewhere and do not follow the route indicated above, it is also an offence.

If you can't enter the city, you can't pass the pass, not to mention, if you find out, you will be in prison to find out your identity.

Therefore, no matter who the real culprit is, who bribed him, and if the assassin can pass through the pass and enter Chang'an, there must be a record of the evidence of the place.

As long as you find a record, you can find out the origin of the other party, and find out the eighteen generations of their ancestors.

Then start with the other party's wife, children, mothers, and even relatives and friends, and peel off the cocoon.

This is indeed a huge project, but as long as you check it, there is no reason why you can't find it.

As Pei Min said to Wu Yuan before, it is not easy to find a needle in a haystack.

When the sea is emptied, it is much easier.

The fifteen provinces of the Tang Dynasty, three hundred and twenty-eight prefectures, and one thousand five hundred and seventy-three counties were mobilized, and no matter how deep the murderer was hidden, there was no trace of it.

Moreover, Pei Min tested Wu Yuan and knew that the murderer was by no means an unknown person.

There must be something outstanding in their local area, otherwise how could the mastermind behind the scenes find them?

Pei Min believes that no matter how powerful a person is, he can't fight a country.
