"Your Majesty, Weichen received a report from the people early this morning, saying that there was a bloody case of five lives in Shiwei Lane, and the minister did not dare to slack off, and personally led his subordinates to investigate the scene, according to investigation, among the five deceased, there were Zuo Yulin Jun Qianniu Beishen Wang Yi, and the eunuch (eunuch's official name, under the sixth grade) Chen Dahong and Wu Liu; Uncle Nei (eunuch official name, under the seventh grade) Chang Si and Liu Qi, the case involves internal prohibition, and the ministers dare not be self-exclusive, so they specially come to ask His Majesty for a holy judgment. ”

Being forced by Gaozong like this, Pei Heng didn't dare to hesitate at all, so he gritted his teeth and reported the case, but he consciously avoided the previous Empress Wu's edict, and did not mention Li Xian's sideways intervention, which was not offended by both sides.

"Huh? Is there such a thing, and find out who did it? ”

As soon as Gaozong heard that the matter was related to the internal ban, he was in a burst of anger, his face was dark, and he asked.

"Your Majesty is angry, Weichen is investigating, investigating ......"

As soon as he saw that Gaozong's face was wrong, Pei Heng couldn't hold it anymore, and hurriedly fell to his knees, kowtowed, and replied in a panic.

"Hmph, how can this be reasonable, then don't hurry up and investigate!"

Gaozong threw down his sleeves angrily and scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty is angry, this matter involves an internal ban, I am afraid that Luoyang Mansion can investigate it thoroughly, and it still needs to be considered in the long run."

As soon as Gaozong's words fell, Empress Wu didn't wait for Pei Heng to express his position, so he spoke softly from the side.

"Well, what Mei Niang said is reasonable."

Gaozong has never had any resistance to Empress Wu's words, and when he heard this, he didn't rush Pei Heng away, shook his wide sleeves, walked slowly to the front of the house, and sat down behind the dragon case.

"Father, the son thinks that this case is appalling, and there are many suspicions, if you don't investigate it thoroughly, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the society. As soon as Gao Zong sat down, Li Xian had already stood up from the side and spoke worriedly.

"What Xian'er said is reasonable, I think so, Mei Niang, who do you think this case should be handed over to for thorough investigation?"

Among the deceased are either the officers of the Yulin Army or the eunuchs of the palace level, this case is obviously a lot of weird, although Gaozong is cowardly, but he is not stupid, he is vaguely aware of the fear that there is something strange in it, but he does have the intention to find out what is going on, this is to hear Li Xian's suggestion, there is no reason to be inaccurate, but the previous martial arts have opened his mouth, Gaozong made a decision immediately, but the tone has clearly shown Gaozong's determination to investigate the case.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, the concubine thought that Xian'er's words were very true, well, yesterday the concubine pointed out the daughter of the Zhao Shaoyin family in Luoyang Mansion for Wang Yi, but she never thought that the night had not passed, this person actually died, it is indeed very strange, it is not good to check it, and the concubine's heart will not be at ease."

Empress Wu did not answer Gaozong's question directly, but frowned slightly and muttered for a moment, and then explained with a solemn face, her eyebrows full of confusion and incomprehension.

"Oh? It's really weird that there is such a thing. ”

Gaozong never cared about the matter of marriage at all, and when he heard Empress Wu say this, he couldn't help but feel a lot, and the doubts in his heart suddenly became more than three points.

Ha, you old thief, who are you scaring about, cut! Although when Empress Wu said that, her eyes never glanced at Li Xian, but these words were obviously said to Li Xian, and her intention was nothing more than a warning and threat, with Li Xian's IQ, he could understand it as soon as he heard it, but although Li Xian attached great importance to it, he didn't care too much - if this case was really pierced, a trick of a mother-son secret fight would inevitably be revealed to the world, and the result would naturally be that both sides would not end well, although the Empress Wu was famous because of this, Li Xian would inevitably be criticized for his disobedience, The hope of winning the heir will come to naught, and it is undoubtedly a matter of losing both, but there is a difference, that is, Li Xian has no intention of seizing the heir at all, what he wants is just not to let the Empress Wu usurp the throne, therefore, if the result of pulling the Empress Wu off the horse can be realized, Li Xian is willing to cut it all over, but unfortunately the difficulty of realizing this matter is too great, after all, the Empress Wu held Gaozong, and his reputation was damaged for a while. It will be difficult to turn over again, but since Li Xian dares to make this move, he naturally has his own way of calculation.

"Father Emperor Mingjian, this matter is indeed very strange, according to the son's minister, that Wang Yi is the Yulin Army, which belongs to the external ban, and the four eunuchs are all ranked, there is no doubt that they are forbidden internally, according to the law, the two must not collude privately, and now they have died in one place, which is afraid that there is something else, if it is not thoroughly investigated, if such things happen, how can it be."

As soon as Gaozong's voice fell, Li Xian immediately stood up and spoke loudly, with a righteous and awe-inspiring state, as if he had never heard the threat in the words of the Empress Wu - it was a lie to say that he was not afraid of things, since he could not finish his work in one battle, Li Xian naturally did not want the case to be revealed to the world, this thought is consistent with the Empress Wu, it can be described as a wolf with a hemp rod, and the two ends are afraid, at this time, whoever can be tougher will be able to gain the upper hand, in this sense, Li Xian is naturally as tough as he can play.

"Xian'er said well, this case should be thoroughly investigated, Pei Heng, I Ling'er immediately dispatched capable candidates, within a time limit of ten days, we must crack the whole case, I want to see what is strange inside!"

was reminded by Li Xian like this, Gaozong's back immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and he patted the dragon case angrily, and no longer asked the opinion of the Empress Wu, and directly made a will.

"Your Majesty is wise, it's just that this case involves an internal ban, Pei Fuyin is a foreign minister after all, and it is quite inconvenient to investigate, so it is better to have someone to assist him." Empress Wu obviously didn't expect Li Xian to be so tough, and she couldn't help but feel a little panicked in her heart, and then thought of Yan Desheng's unknown life and death, and she had a sense of foreboding that fell into Li Xian's life, and she had the intention to block the thorough investigation of the case, but she had no excuse.

"Well, the queen is very right." Although Gaozong was on the fire, he could still listen to the words of the martial queen, and after thinking about it, he also felt reasonable, so he nodded, looked at Gao Hesheng who was waiting on the side, and said: "Gao Hesheng!" ”

"The slave is here."

Gao Hesheng looked at Li Xian in confusion, and when he heard Gaozong take the roll call, he hurriedly restrained the cranky thoughts in his heart, hurriedly stood up, and replied loudly.

"I Ling'er cooperated with Pei Aiqing to thoroughly investigate the harem, and we must find out how those bastards got together." Gao Zong glanced at Gao Hesheng with an unhappy face, and made his will extremely cold.

"The slave obeys."

Gao Hesheng is a eunuch of the ceremonies, speaking of which is the head of all the eunuchs in the palace, and he is responsible for the guards of the inner court, and now there is such a big leak in the inner court, he can't get rid of his responsibility, and he was swept away by Gaozong's cold eyes, and his heart suddenly became half cold, and he secretly complained bitterly, but at this moment, he didn't dare not accept the order, so he could only respectfully agree to the promise and carefully retreat to the side.

"Father, the son thinks that Princess Gao, Pei Fu Yin is indeed an excellent candidate to solve this important case, but there are many inconveniences in internal and external communication, and someone must be in the middle to preside over it, if the father can trust it, the son is willing to take this responsibility." Gao Hesheng had just received the decree, but Li Xian on the other side came out again, singing extremely high, and the spirit of tirelessly working for the court was shared.

"Hmm......"

Gaozong naturally trusted Li Xian, after all, over the years, it was not the first time that Li Xian had participated in the handling of the case, and it was not the first time that he had done it neatly.

"Your Majesty, Xian'er is loyal and commendable, but the concubine thinks that the prince's involvement in the palace ban is not in line with the system, and Xian'er has just arrived in Luoyang, and she is not familiar with it everywhere, so it may be inconvenient to handle this case.

Hearing that Li Xian's tone was raised so high, Empress Wu was even more convinced that Li Xian must still have an ambush in secret, how could he really put this case in the hands of Li Xian, seeing that Gaozong had a tendency to agree, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly interjected from the side to interrupt.

"Wheels? Hmmm......"

Li Xulun is a young son, although he was crowned king early, but he has never opened a mansion and built a tooth, and he is still living in the harem, which is a prince who has been with Gaozong for the longest time, Gaozong loves him very much, but he has always been not very optimistic about his talents.

"Father, the queen mother's words are reasonable, the eighth brother has already been crowned king, and it should be the barrier of the society in the future, and it is also a good thing to have earlier experience, and the sons have no objections."

Li Xian actually didn't really want to wade into this troubled water, the reason why the door was turned so high was completely to induce the martial arts queen to make a mistake in judgment, and the purpose had been achieved, so he didn't dare to really do the thing one by one, in case the martial arts queen came to a fish and the net was broken, then the fun would be great, this time seeing Gaozong's gaze swept over, Li Xian immediately spoke out without hesitation to express his attitude.

"Well, that's good, it's decided, pass on my will, and Li Xulun, the king of Yin, is in charge of the case of Shiwei Lane, Gao Hesheng and Pei Heng are the deputies, and the time limit is ten days, and the whole case must be solved!"

Gaozong was not at ease with Li Xulun's ability, and secondly, it was not good to refute Li Xian's face on the spot, so he hesitated.

"Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!"

Gaozong decided, and everyone present was in a hurry to praise him, as for what they thought in their hearts, only everyone knew in their hearts......
