Dali Temple.

In a cell full of torture instruments.

Syllable!

"Ahh

"Pei Xingjian, I advise you to confess honestly to avoid the pain of this flesh and skin."

Yuan Gongyu sat in front of Pei Xingjian, who was being whipped, and said leisurely while drinking tea.

The Tang Dynasty has always advocated cautious punishment and less punishment, but that is only for the people, because the people are just humble people, and you have no pleasure in using torture for the people, but for officials, it is not like this, either you will not be rectified, if you want to be rectified, that is, you will be rectified to death, whoever tells you to take so much money and do not whip you a few whips, you are ashamed of your official uniform.

As soon as Pei Xingjian and Li Jie came in, they were tortured to extract confessions.

"Bah, I have nothing to say to you and other villains."

Pei Xingjian gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Gongyu angrily.

"At this time, you are still hard-mouthed, I want to see how capable you are." Yuan Gongyu instructed the servants again: "Continue to beat me, beat me hard." ”

And there are two people standing at the door of this cell, it is Xu Jingzong and Xin Maojiang.

"It was in this cell that the case of Fang's bereaved love was examined."

Xu Jingzong stood at the door, looking inside, and asked.

General Xin Mao nodded and said, "Fang Yiai was imprisoned here back then. ”

Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "This is really a cycle of heavenly principles, and it will be rewarded in the end!" ”

Xin Mao said: "But these two people have really tight mouths, and they can't open their mouths no matter how they fight." ”

Xu Jingzong said with a smile: "There is no need to rush in this matter, we also have to plan carefully, and later you will tell Yuan Gongyu not to fight so hard, if you kill someone, it will be worth the loss." ”

General Xin Mao nodded.

Xu Jingzong said again: "By the way, what did Meng Han say? ”

Xin Mao said: "That guy is scared enough, but he really doesn't seem to know who that powerful man is?" ”

Xu Jingzong narrowed his eyes and said: "I don't know if I can let him know, the matter has come to this, we are not afraid, what is he afraid of, if it is done, he will make a great contribution." ”

At this moment, a servant hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Xu Jingzong's ear.

Xu Jingzong nodded, and then said to General Xin Mao: "This place will be handed over to you." ”

With that, he hurried away.

He came to a room behind Dali Temple, and there was a person standing in the room at this time, it was Wang Dejian.

"How's it going?"

Xu Jingzong asked as soon as he saw Wang Dejian.

Wang Dejian first came to the door, stretched out his head, looked left and right, and saw that there was no one outside the house, so he closed the door and whispered: "I have checked it out." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "What's going on? ”

Wang Dejian took out some letters and said: "This was searched from Pei Xingjian's house, if I am not mistaken, this should be Pei Yanshi and they are afraid of being implicated in Tang Lin's matter, so they plan to unite with the Li clan of Zhaojun to consolidate their power in the court." ”

Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard this, and said, "I see." ”

Wang Dejian said again: "But there is a letter here, which Pei Xingjian planned to give to his teacher's Zhao Jun Li Taigong. As he spoke, he handed a letter to Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong took it and looked at it, and said, "This is just a very ordinary letter, nothing special!" ”

Wang Dejian pointed his hand to it and said, "Look at how Pei Xingjian calls Mrs. Li." ”

"Master Zhao?" Xu Jingzong frowned, and said: "I also know one or two about Taigong Li, known as Taigong Zhao Li, he is a contemporary Confucian, many protégés are officials in the court, and he is Pei Xingjian's teacher, so there is nothing wrong with calling him Master Zhao." ”

Wang Dejian said: "Uncle don't forget, the eldest grandson Wuji was named the Duke of Zhao. ”

Xu Jingzong was stunned and said, "This is too far-fetched." No one called the eldest grandson Wuji Zhao Shi, who would believe this. ”

Wang Dejian showed a wicked smile and said, "Uncle, you can't say that, you should say that, why does Pei Xingjian call the eldest grandson Wuji Master Zhao?" Why don't you call it a captain openly? What's hidden here? ”

This is the civil official, this word game is played perfectly, and the tone has changed, and the meaning is completely different.

Xu Jingzong's eyes flickered a few times when he heard this, and said, "But based on this alone, I'm afraid it's still not enough evidence." ”

Wang Dejian said: "Don't we still have three witnesses, as long as we burn the rest of the letters, leaving only the letters about Zhao Shi, then this person's evidence and material evidence are all there, and his eldest grandson Wuji will be unable to escape this time." ”

Xu Jingzong said: "But the problem is that Pei Xingjian and Li Jie are unwilling to speak. ”

Wang Dejian said: "Uncle, I have already straightened out this matter, Pei Xingjian naturally will not confess his teacher, and Li Jie's words, Mrs. Li is his grandfather, and he will not say it." But as far as I know, this Li Jie was promoted to Yushitai by virtue of Li Yifu's relationship, but as soon as Li Yifu left, the Li family of Zhao County reconciled with the Pei family as before, and helped the Pei family suppress Li Yifu's lineage, this Meng Han is one of them, so Meng Han sued the two of them for becoming friends. It can be seen that Li Jie is not loyal to the eldest grandson Wuji and the Pei family, but is forced by the situation, he is different from Pei Xingjian, he is a villain. If he is asked to choose between his grandfather and the eldest grandson Wuji, he will definitely choose to confess to the eldest grandson Wuji, and he will make a breakthrough, and if we force Pei Xingjian to confess, it will be much easier. ”

Xu Jingzong thought for a while, and said: "But you know about it, I know, and the Pei family also knows, in case they ......." ”

Wang Dejian said with a smile: "Uncle, don't you know that they are high-ranking surnames, everything is based on the interests of their own family, this matter is so big, if his Pei family dares to throw himself into the net, I am afraid that the Pei family's forces in Chang'an will be pulled out, I guess they will not come out to confess, but when we fight against the eldest grandson Wuji, the people of the Pei family and the Li family will not come forward to help, because they are thieves, which can reduce our resistance." ”

Xu Jingzong smiled and said, "It's still your brain that spins fast." ”

You must know that the word "think tank" comes from the giant tumor on Wang Dejian's neck, which is real, and it is by no means a wasted name!

He also expected that he was not wrong, Pei Yanshi and they were like ants on a hot pot at this time, but they could only sit at home and do something in a hurry, and they couldn't do anything, if they had a move, wouldn't they not admit themselves.

.......

Taiwei Mansion.

The eldest grandson Wuji stood in the courtyard, with his hands behind his back, looking at the sunset in the west, this winter sunset, did not exude much afterglow, and could not cover the sadness on his face.

After a while, the old butler beside him came over, bowed down and said, "Master! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji let out a long sigh, retracted his gaze, tilted his head slightly, and asked, "How are things going?" ”

The old housekeeper said: "I believe that Han Yi has received the code, but it's just ---! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned slightly and said, "Just what?" ”

The old housekeeper said: "It's just that there are a lot of eyeliner around our mansion, and if you want to avoid them tonight, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble, but please rest assured, master, the villain is sure to avoid them." ”

The housekeeper beside Eldest Sun Wuji is not an ordinary person, as for the little sparrows outside, he really didn't pay attention to them.

The eldest grandson Wuji narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and said: "There is no need, it is really not easy for them to stare at me outside, give them a little news, so that they can go back to their lives." ”

The old housekeeper was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Master, if you don't take precautions, the relationship between the master and Han Yi may be known to the other party." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was silent for a while, and sighed: "But if I die, then no one in this world will know this secret." ”

......．

That night, in the middle of the night, Han Yi arrived as promised.

As always, the eldest grandson Wuji waited in the hut early, playing Go there alone, and did not put down the chess pieces until Han Yi arrived.

"Captain, things may be a little bad, you have to make a decision as soon as possible." Han Yi said with a hint of eagerness.

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "You are referring to the case of Li Jie and Pei Xingjian's friends. ”

Han Yi nodded.

The eldest grandson Wuji said frankly: "This matter has nothing to do with the old man, and the old man has no idea about it. ”

Is that the point? This is not an investigation, this is clearly to set up blame. Han Yidao: "If this matter is really related to Taiwei, I think the above will not send Xu Jingzong and them to investigate, but will send Wei Siqian to investigate." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly and said: "This Qing person is self-purifying, if they want to plant blame, the old man has no way to stop them." ”

Han Yi frowned slightly and said, "Could it be that the Taiwei plans to sit and wait to die?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "The old man has always been cautious, and they can't get evidence to prove the old man." ”

Han Yi said: "But the case of the punk is originally specious, and the evidence is only secondary." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded and said: "You are right, this kind of case is indeed specious, so the fate of the old man is now in the hands of one person." Do you think he will take the old man's life? ”

This person is naturally Li Zhi, in fact, when they talk, they often avoid Li Zhi and don't talk about it, mainly talking about Wu Meiniang, but you must know that Wu Meiniang has no power to dominate the life and death of Changsun Wuji, she can only add fuel to the fire from the side, and the real decision is always in the hands of Li Zhi.

Han Yi hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. ”

The corners of the eldest grandson Wuji's mouth did not show a trace of a bitter smile that was not easy to wipe off, and said, "Then let him decide." The tone is very resolute.

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Could it be that Taiwei plans to do nothing?" ”

"The old man is almost old, and he doesn't have many days to live, and the old man has long looked down on life and death."

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed lightly, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "And the only thing that the old man is worried about now is that if the result is not in favor of the old man, many innocent people will be implicated in the old man, many of whom are loyal ministers and righteous men of my Tang Dynasty, including Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, Zhao Zhiman, and Zhang Daxiang." If the old man really has reached the end and is in a catastrophe, I hope you can save them from being implicated, no matter what, you have to save their lives. ”

Speaking of this, he closed his eyes and sighed again, and said: "Now there are too many traitors in the court, and Your Majesty needs such a group of loyal ministers and righteous people by Your Majesty's side to remind him and help him at all times, so as not to be deceived by traitors and bury the great rivers and mountains of my Tang Dynasty." ”
