After getting the news, Han Zhaozhi personally brought people over and escorted people back to the Tingwei Mansion for interrogation, and invited the people from the Ministry of Rites and Chang'an Mansion involved in these flint countries to the Tingwei Mansion to assist in the investigation.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites left less than an hour after entering the Tingwei Mansion, but Liao Shaoxian, the governor of Chang'an Mansion, was left in the Tingwei Mansion, and the Lord of Chang'an Mansion personally went to the Tingwei Mansion to ask what was going on, and after staying in the Tingwei Mansion for half an hour, he also sighed and left.

"Asked."

Nie Ye strode into Han Zhaozhi's study, and handed the confession to Han Zhaozhi with both hands: "There is no flint country in the world at all, these people are Tubo people, and the gold is also fake, they are a group of wandering warriors, and Daning has a grudge, a few years ago, Daning and Tubo fought a war, Tubo suffered heavy losses, and most of the national strength declined, these people are all people in the Tubo army, they all participated in that battle, and they are in a team...... Their general was killed by Shen Leng. ”

Han Zhaozhi raised his head: "So, none of them is a coincidence. ”

"Yes, no coincidence."

Nie Ye said: "After Daning defeated Tubo, he blocked Tubo for a long time, and they could endure it, and after a few years of enduring it, Daning reopened the border to Tubo, and they entered Daning, these people were loyal to the Tubo general who died in battle, and they came to Daning to kill Shen Leng." ”

Han Zhaozhi looked at the confession: "Didn't you ask who instructed them?" ”

"They don't know who the man is, and they don't know how that person found them."

Nie Ye said: "They went all the way to Daning, they were exhausted, and they had a hard time in Chang'an, and the day before yesterday suddenly someone found them, saying that they could give them a large sum of money and let them help get rid of a person, these people were here to take revenge, and when they heard that they were going to deal with Shen Leng and Shen Leng's subordinates, they immediately agreed." ”

Han Zhaozhi frowned slightly: "This person doesn't have any clues?" ”

"Yes!"

Nie Ye said: "My lord, you see the second confession, it is from Liao Shaoxian, the governor of Chang'an Mansion, he didn't say it at first, his subordinates recruited after using a little means, and the Ministry of Rites is easy to make clear, Liao Shaoxian went to the Ministry of Rites in person, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites naturally will not be embarrassed, but ......"

Han Zhaozhi glanced at Nie Ye: "It's just what?" ”

"The people who confessed were somewhat unexpected."

"Who?"

"Yushitai Yushi Feng Peng."

"The people of the Imperial Tower?"

The corners of Han Zhaozhi's eyebrows raised: "How could it involve the people of Yushitai, have you checked this Feng Peng?" ”

"I probably know that Feng Peng is Chinese New Year's Eve years old today, but it has been six years since he arrived at the Yushitai, and Lord Yu Shi Lai attaches great importance to him, many of the twists and turns of Lord Lai's books are written by Feng Peng, it is said that this person is extremely talented, his twists and turns, Lord Lai Cheng Lai can be used directly without modification, it is rumored that this person is jealous and hateful and has a hard personality, he rarely has contact with people, and he has no friends, his family is in Yongqing County, Liaobei Province, and he lives alone in Chang'an."

Han Zhaozhi took the execution order from the side, and after writing it, he used the seal of Du Tingwei.

He handed the torture order to Nie Ye: "Go and get someone." ”

"Your Excellency."

Nie Ye was a little embarrassed: "If this Feng Peng lives at home, it will be easy to do, he is alone, so he lives in the Yushitai all the year round, if he directly enters the Yushitai to arrest people at this time, will it cause any unnecessary trouble?" ”

"You don't have to worry about trouble."

Han Zhaozhi looked at Nie Ye and asked, "When it comes to the Yushi Terrace, it makes you a little afraid?" Don't forget, the Tingwei Mansion has never been a yamen who is afraid of trouble, and if you are afraid of trouble, there will be no Tingwei Mansion. ”

"The subordinates are not afraid of trouble or afraid of Yushitai, the subordinates are worried about Lord Lai Cheng's ......"

"Don't worry about him, go get someone."

"Yes!"

Nie Ye took the torture order with both hands, turned around and strode away, and when he got outside, he beckoned: "Bring all the things, follow me to the Imperial Historical Observatory." ”

The group of people under him immediately gathered, and after a short time, the team left the Tingwei Mansion and went straight to the Imperial Observatory.

Han Zhaozhi sat and read the confessions of those fake flint people and the confession of Liao Shaoxian of Chang'an Mansion, the case seems to become clear with this confession, it is not so complicated, Feng Peng found these Tubo people, and asked them to pretend to be non-existent Flint people to go to the door of the welcome building, Feng Peng personally found Liao Shaoxian of Chang'an Mansion, the orders held by those Tubo people in their hands are real, and the seals and signatures are true.

There is no confession yet, who is doing it from the Ministry of Rites, but after Feng Peng is also arrested, everything will fall into place, Han Zhaozhi shouted, and the court lieutenant outside ran in and leaned over and said, "What do you command?" ”

"Go to the stall and take out the file of Feng Peng of Yushitai, as well as the file of Liao Shaoxian of Chang'an Mansion, right away."

"Yes."

Tingwei had to order to hurriedly run out, the power of Tingweifu is very great, so big that it is terrifying, relatively speaking, ordinary people have more respect for Tingweifu than fear, and as long as the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are officials, they are much more afraid of Tingweifu than respect, and the people of Tingweifu have no friends, which is a recognized thing, and there are no friends than the people of Yushitai.

One of the reasons why these officials are dissatisfied and even disgusted is that the Tingwei Mansion has files of almost all of them, and it stands to reason that these files are in the Ministry of Officials, and these files must not be easily leaked, and it is precisely the Tingwei Mansion that has such a power and is ordered to supervise hundreds of officials, so Han Zhaozhi sent people to copy a copy of these files, and it took nearly a year to complete them.

Not long after, Ting Wei came back with two files, Han Zhaozhi took it and opened one of them and looked at it carefully, as if he had thought of something, and opened the other one, and after comparing it for a while, his face changed slightly.

"So obvious?"

He muttered to himself, looked at Liao Shaoxian's file, and then looked at Feng Peng's.

These two men were Jinshi in the same year, and the chief examiner of the imperial examination that year...... It is the right of the bus, that is, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Historical Observatory who was directly stripped of the official uniform by His Majesty in front of the civil and military officials in the Baoji Palace, and the right master of the bus who shouted in front of His Majesty that Shen Leng was a chaotic minister and thief.

Feng Peng and Liao Shaoxian are the same year as the scholar and the first, after the announcement of the red list, these students must visit the examiner, the file records, two people worship the bus right as a teacher at the same time, and since then, the career of these two young people is also smooth sailing, one directly entered the Yushitai from the small officer, because of the outstanding ability and jealousy and hatred, not only the bus right appreciation, even Lai Chengdu is very appreciative, the other entered the criminal department as a small official, at that time the criminal department Shangshu Yan Jugang attached great importance to him, a year to promote, Later, the chief arrester of Chang'an Mansion was transferred to the Tingwei Mansion by Han Zhaozhi to work, and Liao Shaoxian was arranged to become the new chief arrester in Chang'an Mansion, and after only three years, he was promoted to the governor.

These two people are only thirty years old, and their careers are on the rise, and if nothing else, they will be the mainstay of the Daning Imperial Court in the future, and their future is immeasurable.

Han Zhaozhi closed the file, and said in his heart, could it be because of the matter on the right side of the bus that he has a grudge against Shen Leng? These two people are known as respecting the teacher, many people know that Feng Peng has great respect for the right of the bus, and it is necessary to move around during the New Year's holidays, if it is because of the right side of the bus, it seems to be explained, but what cannot be explained is ...... Chen Ran was poisoned, he first received a congratulatory gift from the prince, and it can be inferred from the news he got now that if Chen Ran hadn't gotten the jade pendant first and smelled the strange fragrance, he would not have been put down by the poisonous powder of the Tubo people at all.

So, what does Liao Shaoxian and Feng Peng have to do with the East Palace?

East Palace.

The prince glared at Cao Anqing fiercely: "What's the matter?" You tell me what the hell is going on?! ”

Cao Anqing lowered his head and said: "The slave and maid haven't found out yet, the slave and maid are investigating." ”

"Check?!"

The prince came over and kicked Cao Anqing's stomach, this kick was ruthless, and directly kicked Cao Anqing to the ground, and Cao Anqing's face became distorted, but he didn't even dare to shout, and got up and knelt down with severe pain: "Your Highness is angry, Your Highness, don't be angry, the slave is already investigating, and you can find out what is going on immediately." ”

"The congratulatory gift for Chen Ran was prepared by me for you, and now Chen Ran has an accident, it is said that it is because of the congratulatory gift I sent that I was poisoned! Cao Anqing, are you trying to harm me? I tell you again and again, don't make any mistakes before the Northern Expedition, don't have any tricks to be caught, look at what you have done? Are you trying to kill me? ”

Cao Anqing lay on his stomach and kowtowed: "Your Highness is angry, Your Highness, it's all the fault of the slave and maid, the slave and maid deserve death, the slave and maid will go to the Tingwei Mansion to explain, all this has nothing to do with His Highness." ”

"Did you explain it clearly?"

The prince turned back and forth angrily, but he couldn't bear the anger, and kicked Cao Anqing over again.

"No matter how you explain it, some people will think about me, my father's northern expedition, I will definitely be in charge of the government, don't you know how important this is to me? You know better than anyone else! ”

Cao Anqing just kept kowtowing: "It's the slave and maid who are lazy, His Royal Highness asked the slave and maid to prepare a congratulatory gift, the slave and maid thought that this congratulatory gift should not be too precious, and if it is expensive, it will be suspected of being wooed, and it can't be too hasty, it seems that His Royal Highness does not pay attention to it, so the slave and maid thought, why not Xiangningguan to ask for peace for General Chen Ran and his wife, and the slave and maid arranged for Liao Weiqing to go to Xiangningguan......"

"What about Liao Weiqing?"

"No, it's gone......"

Cao Anqing raised his head and looked at the prince with a frightened face: "The slave maid was so frightened that she was so frightened when she heard that something had happened, she immediately sent someone to find Liao Weiqing, but the people sent searched the entire East Palace and found no one, and the things in his room were all cleaned up, and later it was found that he left the palace the evening before yesterday and never came back." ”

The prince's face turned pale: "No one can be found?" If you can't find anyone, you can find out what you tell me! ”

He kicked over again, this kick directly on Cao Anqing's face, Cao Anqing who kicked it fell to the side, and his head hit the ground again, but Cao Anqing immediately straightened up again, and he didn't dare to wipe the blood on his face and head, but kept kowtowing: "The slave will definitely catch Liao Weiqing, as long as Liao Weiqing catches it, I can make it clear, please give me a day!" ”

"One day?"

The prince looked at Cao Anqing, his lips trembling slightly.

"I can't find Liao Weiqing for a day, you can go to the Tingwei Mansion by yourself."

The prince sat down dejectedly: "You have to fight for your life, I can't take care of you anymore, I have to go to see my father......"

The prince closed his eyes: "Cao Anqing, you will kill me." ”
