An hour later.

"This silver needle has been tempered with mandala seeds."

Lu Shigua squatted down, took a silver needle from the neck of one of the guards, and said while looking at it: "The seeds of this flower contain highly poisonous, and if you eat too much by mistake, you can't save it, but the murderer doesn't seem to want to kill them all, these four guards just fainted, and there is no danger to life, but the murderer may also have superb medical skills, if the silver needle is inserted into this acupuncture point, it can make people faint the fastest." ”

Wang Xuandao, who was standing far away from the corpse, said: "According to what the two sedan chair men said, the murderer is a woman, but except for the female demon of the Xiao family, I have never heard of such a powerful female master in the world, who can instantly subdue the four masters of the Great Interior, which is incredible." ”

"There is such a person."

Han Yi muttered to himself.

"Who?"

Wang Xuandao immediately asked.

"It can't be her, because she's dead."

Han Yi thought of the woman who bravely broke into Yangzhou's assassination mansion again, picked up some dark coins from the ground, raised them, and said: "And the murderer is very arrogant, she is not even afraid, and let the two sedan chair men go." ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "Who do you think this will do?" ”

Han Yi said: "I can only say that it is definitely not Uncle Guo's business." ”

Lu Shigua suddenly frowned and said, "Do you think it will be?" ”

Wang Xuandao shuddered when he heard this, and a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead.

Han Yi frowned slightly, and said: "I don't think so, if he instructed someone to do it, this murderer would not be so arrogant, and he would not leave a living mouth, he would definitely be killed." ”

Wang Xuandao nodded. Slightly puzzled: "Yes, this case is so big, the other party shouldn't leave a living." After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure it out, shook his head and said, "Could it be that this murderer is a kind-hearted person?" ”

Zheng Shanxing said: "A good-hearted person will come to do this? ”

Lu Shigua said thoughtfully: "But if it weren't for him, who else could there be?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "I guess it must have been the enemy of Uncle Guo." Jiang Xian's death here is too unfavorable for Uncle Guo. ”

Wang Xuandao glanced at it and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "I think this case should be closed." ”

．

Palace!

"What did you say?"

After Li Zhi heard Han Yi's advice, Huo Ran got up and said in a trembling voice: "Jiang Xian-Jiang Xian was killed?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Li Zhi said: "This-how is this possible, didn't I send four masters to protect him?" ”

You still have the face to say it. Han Yi said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to what the two sedan chair men said, the four high-ranking guards were subdued by the murderer in an instant. "He was going to talk about the masters. But he felt that he was deceiving himself.

"One-instant?"

Li Zhi suddenly felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, this is a master of the Great Interior, and he actually ——, that this emperor was too dangerous in an instant, and said, "How many people are there on the other side?" ”

"One! It's a woman. ”

Han Yi said truthfully.

Li Zhi was sweating profusely when he heard this, and sat on the couch in a daze, he really couldn't accept this reality. A woman instantly subdued his Ouchi master, this- this must be a story.

I think Blizzard's dad can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Although he was burned down by Chen Shuozhen, he was just a thorn in history, and the master of Ouchi was instantly subdued by a woman, which is simply a great shame! Han Yi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this is not bad news. ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "How can you say this?" ”

Han Yi said: "Your Majesty must be very angry in your heart. ”

Li Zhi felt that this was a bit idiotic. "What do you say?" Should I be glad that my guards are so vulnerable? ”

"Wechen is guilty."

Apologizing, Han Yi said again: "But Your Majesty will definitely want to catch the murderer, so who will this murderer be?" ”

Li Zhi seemed to understand something, and said, "What kind of person are you talking about?" ”

Han Yi said: "I hate Jiang Xian the most in the world today." It is none other than Zhang Ming, no matter what others think, anyway, Weichen thinks that the murderer must be Zhang Ming's comrade. ”

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "You mean to let me immediately issue an order to investigate this matter thoroughly?" ”

Han Yi said: "And it's an angry holy decree." ”

The corners of Li Zhi's mouth raised slightly, and he wanted to laugh a little, but when he thought about his guards, he couldn't laugh, and his expression was very weird

．

Long Yan is furious!

Who dares to attack the royal guards in the world today, and kill people in front of the royal guards, which is tantamount to a great crime of rebellion.

Can the emperor not be furious, this is all on the emperor's head, can't bear it, must not bear it, Li Zhi immediately issued an order to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After the news of this matter spread, the entire Chang'an City was shocked.

This is not a rumor, but a real thing, Li Zhi directly dispatched the forbidden army, threatening to arrest the murderer, then Jiang Xian's life and death are only secondary, the key is to hurt the royal face, there are countless murderers in the world, but if you kill people in front of the emperor, then you are really killing yourself.

What a twist and turn!

Originally, it was still in a stalemate, but Jiang Xian's death immediately tilted the scales.

As soon as Han Yi left the palace, he followed Xing Wudao, who was waiting outside: "You immediately bring someone to invite those who have a close relationship with Zhang Ming to Dali Temple, oh, don't be so polite this time, take someone directly, if you don't come, bring me away." ”

"Yes."

After Xing Wu left, Han Yi got into the carriage, muttering in his heart, looking at Li Zhi's expression in front of him, he was sure that Li Zhi would never ask someone to do it. muttered to himself: "If it wasn't the person instructed by Li Zhi, who would it be?" Could it be her? It's impossible, she lives deep in the palace, she doesn't have any power outside, and if it's her, she should kill people even more, this is not scientific! Alas, it's hard to guess. There are so many enemies of the eldest grandson Wuji, anyone can possibly do it. ”

If the first time was to invite to assist in the investigation, then this time it was really summoned to ask for confessions, and it was not in batches, on the first day, Han Yi invited thirty people who had a close relationship with Zhang Ming to interrogate in Dao Dali Temple.

And. This time, the scope has been expanded, directly covering the entire Chang'an City, because the murderer must be arrested!

The whole city is under martial law

．

Taiwei Mansion.

"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, who is so bold that he dares to commit murder in front of His Majesty's guards."

Chu Suiliang was also so angry that he walked around the lobby, not to mention Li Zhi, he felt ashamed.

Han Ying said thoughtfully: "This person seems to be avenging Zhang Ming, but it can also be said that he is framing us." ”

Liu Zheng suddenly said: "Do you think it will be?" ”

"Zi Shao! Hugh is talking nonsense. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji, who had been silent, suddenly stopped.

Liu Zheng lowered his eyebrows and secretly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji. Silenced.

Lai Ji said: "Taiwei, now the matter is getting bigger and bigger, now Your Majesty Long Yan is furious, vowing to arrest the murderer, Dali Temple has already dispatched people to start arresting people, and everyone doesn't even dare to complain now, after all, this will involve Your Majesty, and those people below may not be able to stand it." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned. Clam up.

Han Ying said timidly: "Captain, this-I'm afraid this Zhang Ming can't be saved." ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, glanced at them. Suddenly he let out a long sigh and said, "I know, let's talk about it after today." ”

Han Ying and Laiji also sighed.

They all know that they have no chance of winning in this matter, although smart people know that Jiang Xian's death is actually very unfavorable to Zhang Ming. But on the surface, it cannot be ruled out that Zhang Ming's henchmen did it, which gives Li Zhi room to play, at least Li Zhi can think that Zhang Ming still has a dead friend outside, in this case. You can have reason to suspect anyone, and the reasons are also very sufficient, if you play like this, no one will dare to come forward again, and if you don't get it right, it will be a major crime of rebellion, which is really possible to try a major case of rebellion.

It's just that they never expected that they would be defeated in the hands of Jiang Xian in the end, and it was Jiang Xian who died

．

In the evening.

A big man quietly came to the Taiwei Mansion.

"The villain has seen the captain."

"How's it going?"

Eldest Sun Wuji frowned and asked.

The big man said with a little regret: "There are already some eyebrows, but today the whole city is under martial law, and people related to this case are being arrested everywhere, the villain sees this situation, and does not dare to let people investigate anymore, if it is known, we are also investigating this case, maybe there will be more trouble." ”

After half a while, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "Let's stop here." ”

"Yes."

．

As soon as night fell, the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang, and Han Ying hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.

It's really fast! Li Zhi said secretly, but said: "The three Aiqing are asking to see each other at this time, isn't there something important?" ”

Chu Suiliang said: "Your Majesty's anger, the minister understands it very well, after all, it will damage the royal face, but now that spring ploughing has begun, and people in Chang'an City are panicking, it is not good for spring ploughing, and please ask Your Majesty to focus on the overall situation." ”

Politicians, whatever you say makes sense.

Spring ploughing and autumn harvest were the most important moments in the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty was a pure small-scale peasant economy, and any policy was to protect the spring ploughing and autumn harvest.

Li Zhi frowned, and said: "I don't want to delay the spring ploughing, but that assassin is so hateful, he actually stabbed four of my guards and killed the most important culprit in this case. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter is all because of Zhang Ming, Your Majesty should immediately sentence him to death, so as to set an example and deter the world." ”

Chu Suiliang also said: "The minister also agrees, this case has dragged on for too long, and it has brought great trouble to the court and the people." I also ask Your Majesty to make a judgment as soon as possible and return peace to Chang'an. ”

Seeing that they had finally compromised, Li Zhi felt refreshed in his heart, and said: "The two Aiqing, the people are the most important, and I also understand, but many ministers in the DPRK and China are opposed to such a quick verdict, and if our court wants to sentence the death penalty, it will take five repetitions before the verdict can be made." ”

Because the Tang Dynasty paid great attention to the people, the local death penalty case had to be repeated three times, and the death penalty case of the Beijing division had to be repeated five times, that is, the emperor could only be sentenced to death after refusing to play many times with a heart of compassion for the common people.

Chu Suiliang listened awkwardly, and always felt that Li Zhi's words were ironic to them, but there was no way, and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, this minister went to tell them, speed up the five repetitions, and nothing is as big as spring ploughing." ”

Li Zhi said: "But what about the assassin who killed Jiang Xian? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Your Majesty can order someone to conduct a secret investigation, so as to avoid delaying the spring ploughing." ”

Li Zhi nodded, accepted it when he saw it, and said, "Okay, just according to what a few Aiqing said." ”

Han Ying said suddenly: "Your Majesty, no matter what, after Zhang Ming's meritorious service, he killed Huo Yuande and others, it was also for a reason, not wanton, and my dynasty has always advocated the reduction of the death penalty, Weichen suggested that Zhang Ming be sent to other places, and he will never be allowed to return to Chang'an, reflecting His Majesty's idea of benevolent politics in the world, so that there is no need for five repetitions, and the judgment can be made immediately." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji immediately shouted: "Nonsense, Zhang Ming has committed such a big crime, how can he be spared, and he must be severely punished." Saying that, he hugged his fist to Li Zhi and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to sentence Zhang Ming to death." ”

Li Zhi lowered his eyebrows and groaned for a while, and said: "I think Han Aiqing is reasonable, when my father was alive, he often taught me that I must be cautious about the death penalty when I want to govern the country based on the people, and I must be cautious about the death penalty, Zhang Ming is hateful, but I think that he has made a lot of contributions to the country over the years, and the death penalty will be avoided." Speaking of this, he paused, and then said: "I will send it to Guizhou, and I will never be allowed to return to Beijing." ”

Han Ying breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Guan Zi said, the master of the people, gentle and generous, **** love him." Your Majesty's benevolence is the blessing of the people and the people. (To be continued.) )
