In the county office, in the lobby, Peng Ji walked around the hall, very anxious!

He sent out all the officials who could be sent out, but he estimated that the possibility of catching Linghu Changqing was very small, at this time he regretted it a little, it seemed that when he was solving the case, he was a little too hasty, so that he startled the snake, if he could secretly arrest him, maybe he would catch Linghu Changqing!

But if you are secretly arrested, then there is no such thing as raiding the house, and then it may not be possible to find out the prince's hair and nails all the way, and no one can predict that things have developed to this point!

Suddenly, someone outside shouted: "County Zun, someone has caught Linghu Changqing and has escorted him here!" ”

Peng Ji was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, and saw Li Rizhi first, he sighed, and said, "Nephew Li Xian, why don't you watch from Linghu Changqing's outer house, why did you come here?" ”

Li Rizhi stepped forward quickly, he pointed at Linghu Changqing behind him, and said: "Peng Shibo, let's go to arrest Linghu Changqing, we have already caught it, this is!" ”

Peng Ji looked at Linghu Changqing behind him, his eyes narrowed, and he couldn't recognize it immediately, Linghu Changqing was dressed in women's clothes at this time, and he was still wearing a cloak of hair, and his hair covered half of his face, Peng Ji naturally couldn't see his appearance clearly, and Peng Ji was usually not too familiar with Linghu Changqing, and he hadn't met a few times!

Li Ri knew: "Peng Shibo, this is Linghu Changqing, he wanted to escape from the city in disguise as a man, but was caught by Miss Chen!" ”

As he spoke, he first pointed at Chen Yingying, this is to ask Chen Yingying for credit, of course, he must be the first to point, and then he instructed Hu Changqing, if this person in women's clothes is the dignified head of the inner court!

Chen Yingying was next to Linghu Changqing, she picked up Linghu Changqing's hair with her hand, revealing his face, now, Peng Jike can see clearly, it is really Linghu Changqing, why is he dressed like this?

Understood, Linghu Changqing disguised himself as a woman and went out of the city, he was originally a boy and a girl, he looked very beautiful, and then pretended to be a woman, so it was really not easy to catch him, who would have thought that a charming beauty would be the head of Linghu!

Peng Ji walked up to Linghu Changqing and looked up and down, he really couldn't believe that the head of the inner court would want to pretend to be a woman and escape! However, this method seems to work quite well, if he really escapes, then it is really almost impossible to catch him again!

Linghu Changqing's face turned pale, he looked at Peng Ji, and said, "You are the county commander of Chang'an County?" You and I have no grievances in the past, and no enemies in the near future, why did you harm me? ”

"Where the responsibility is, how can we talk about harm or not!" Peng Ji looked at him coldly, but he was extremely excited in his heart, he caught Linghu Changqing, so it was already a sure thing for him to be released from Beijing to do the history of assassination, how could this not make him excited!

Peng Ji didn't pay attention to Linghu Changqing, and he didn't have to pay attention to him at this time, anyway, as long as Linghu Changqing was sent to Empress Wu, the case would be over, as for how to punish Linghu Changqing, it was Empress Wu's business!

Peng Ji turned his head and knew to Li Ri: "Nephew Li Xian, well done, this case has been solved by you, let's take Linghu Changqing and go to the palace to see Empress Wu together, today I have mentioned you in front of Empress Wu, looking at her appearance, I guess I want to see you." It just so happens that if you catch the real murderer, I can recommend you to Empress Wu! ”

Li Rizhi took a step back and stood beside Fu Guibaocheng, he also pulled Chen Yingying and said: "Peng Shibo, this case is not something I can solve alone, if it weren't for their help, it would be impossible to catch Linghu Changqing, so go to the palace to see the queen, can you take them with you?" ”

Peng Ji nodded and smiled: "Of course you can, you can go to everything!" ”

He never thought that he would be able to catch Linghu Changqing so quickly, at least it would be impossible to catch it in Chang'an City today, otherwise he would not have issued a sea fishing document and would be wanted everywhere!

As a result, Li Rizhi caught Linghu Chong Changqing on the same day and sent it to him, this is really people's luck that the city wall can't stop it!

Peng Ji thought of Tong Guinu who went out of the city to chase Linghu Changqing, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, Deputy Chief Tong, this can only be regarded as your bad luck, this great credit will be made by me, who made you not know Li Rizhi!

And according to his estimates, because Tong Guinu led the forbidden army out to chase Linghu Changqing, in order to catch up with people, so Tong Guinu must run fast, it is estimated that he will not dare to rest for a day and a night, even if someone behind him goes to chase him, and wants to tell him that Linghu Changqing has been caught, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch up with him!

It is estimated that when Tong Guinu learns the news that Linghu Changqing was caught, it will be almost two to three days later, but Empress Wu will not let him work in vain, and the position of the chief manager will still be left to him!

Peng Ji looked at Li Rizhi and thought, "This person is really my lucky star!" It's a pity that I don't have a daughter about the same age as him, otherwise I would marry my daughter to him and recruit him as a son-in-law, wouldn't it be good, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Peng Ji asked the officials to escort Linghu Changqing to the palace together. On the way, Li Rizhi asked, "Peng Shibo, are we going to see Empress Wu like this?" Why don't you go back and change your clothes, take a shower, and change your clothes? ”

Fu Guibao and Cheng Zizi also nodded together, and even Chen Yingying hesitated for a moment, and then nodded his head. For them, going to see the queen, maybe they can also see the emperor, this is a great event, they don't know any court etiquette, but the most basic thing like bathing and changing clothes, they still want to do it, at least they can't be rude!

Peng Ji smiled slightly and said: "Bathing and changing clothes, it's not necessary, Queen Wu wants to see you, and she won't want to see what you look like, but because of you, you have made a contribution and saved the prince, this is the most important thing!" ”

After a pause, he said again: "Now go to the queen, the more you sweat, the more you will show that you work hard, if you wear it cleanly, wash it white and tender, then it will be a little fake!" He smiled again.

Li Rizhi understood, this is to ask for credit for them, and he is grateful in his heart, Peng Ji is still very authentic and takes care of them very much, and it is not in vain that they have put so much effort into this case.

After a short time, he arrived outside the palace, Peng Ji dismounted first, called a guard, told him about catching Linghu Changqing, and asked this guard to hurry up to report to Queen Wu, and the guard agreed and immediately entered the palace.

At the gate of the palace, there were other guards, these guards were very surprised when they saw Linghu Changqing dressed as a man and a woman, of course Linghu Changqing knew everyone, this is the majestic head of the inner court, and now it has fallen into such an embarrassing situation, in the past, who could have imagined this!

Linghu Changqing was held by the officials and couldn't move, but he closed his eyes, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in struggling, it is better to resign himself to fate!

Li Rizhi glanced at him and thought: "This person is bold and careful, in order to be a real man, he actually took risks, but when he finally escaped, he actually disguised himself as a woman, what kind of psychology is this?" If you can study his psychology thoroughly, you can understand what kind of thinking such a person has? Maybe it will be of great help to solve the case in the future! ”

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no talk of psychology, although Li Rizhi had realized that studying the psychology of prisoners would be helpful in solving crimes, but what kind of research method, he was actually still ignorant and could not do it thoroughly, which was also an unavoidable limitation of people in this era.

In the palace, the queen's bedroom, the emperor has gotten the news, he has rushed to the queen's bedroom, although the emperor has always been a good-natured person, but when he encountered this kind of thing, he actually took a part of his own child's body to make witchcraft-like magic weapons, he was still unbearable, in his rage, the emperor had broken several vases, which was already the extreme of his anger!

"How dare you, how dare he do this, and the loss union has always trusted him so much? This Linghu Changqing really deserves to be cut by a thousand knives! The emperor said angrily, his face flushed, and the veins on his forehead burst out.

Empress Wu didn't say a word, she held the prince Li Lun in her arms, coaxing the child, he didn't feel any surprise at the emperor's anger, she was also so angry when she heard the news just now!

However, she felt that since this thing had happened, there was no point in getting angry again, and it was not good to solve it, Ling Hu Changqing was absolutely unforgivable, but what about the others? Is it possible for others to be unforgivable?

Usually who is not dealing with themselves, then who is unforgivable and can take advantage of this opportunity? A good blow to the ministers in the court who oppose her!

Although Empress Wu has a great influence on the emperor, it can be said that the emperor obeys her words, and she also says nothing in the palace, but there are still many ministers in the court who oppose her, and the opposition in the court has never been interrupted for the queen to interfere in politics!

Empress Wu even sometimes wondered, why did those ministers in the court care so much about whether the ruler was male or female, and what did it matter if it was male or female? As long as you can govern the country well, can't you?

Some ministers also said that the world should be governed by men, and women only need to give birth to children at home and serve good men, which is God's arrangement!

If a woman has to be involved in politics, then it is Si Chen, who is going against the sky, not only God can't agree, but even the people won't agree!

Empress Wu has always had only one answer to this kind of argument, whether God agrees or not, she doesn't know, if anyone says that he can know God's wishes and can communicate with God, then she is very willing to send this person to meet God!

As for whether the people are willing or not, in fact, as long as the people can be fed and clothed, who will govern the country, and whether the person who gives the order is male or female, the people will not care!

However, even if Empress Wu is 10,000 times stronger than the emperor in governing the country, it is useless, in the court, the ministers who oppose her are still a handful!

Therefore, Empress Wu thought to herself, this time "someone" wants to use witchcraft to murder the prince, who is this "someone", she has to think about it, make a list, and see the emperor's angry appearance, basically whoever is on this list, who is dead, take the opportunity to get rid of a group of ministers who oppose her, it is imperative!

Just when the emperor was angry and the queen was thinking about something, suddenly a little eunuch came to report, saying that Linghu Changqing had been caught, and Peng Jipeng County Commander was waiting outside, and he also brought the person who caught Linghu Changqing, it is said that a person named Li Rizhi, as well as his companions, were waiting outside the palace!

Hearing that Linghu Changqing was caught, the emperor was immediately overjoyed, and shouted: "Immediately bring Linghu Changqing in, and Lian will punish him severely!" ”

But Empress Wu was slightly stunned, Linghu Changqing was caught, or Li Rizhi caught him, which was quite unexpected!

According to common sense, even if Linghu Changqing is caught, it will not be caught so quickly, if Li Rizhi catches him, then it means that this scholar named Li Rizhi is a very capable person, this person is worth seeing!
