Before dawn, the night is darkest.

Wei Yuanzhong walked into the room, it was very dim, and only a candlestick in the shape of a chrysanthemum bean was lit. It's obviously a bedroom, not particularly spacious or luxurious, but it's in order.

On the bed in the bedroom lay an old man with a gray beard; Next to the bed, there was also an old man with a gray beard, and a child holding a medicine box beside him. In each corner of the room stood a young maidservant, silent and inconspicuous.

The light was dim, and Wei Yuanzhong couldn't see anyone's face clearly. Because it was someone else's bedroom, he didn't rush forward, and stood still and bowed, "This official, supervise the imperial history Wei Yuanzhong." ”

"Don't make a noise." The old man sitting on the edge of the bed snorted, and the boss said impatiently, "Old Linggong Li has just returned from the Ghost Gate, and he is left with the last mouthful." The old man is giving him an acupuncture, in case you make a noise and prick the wrong acupoint, his life will be gone! ”

Wei Yuanzhong's heart was suddenly shocked, Li Lao Linggong?

Li Chongyi? Not dead!

This was a bit unexpected. Wei Yuanzhong's heart began to think quickly, how could things be like this, since Li Chongyi was not dead, why did Li Xiantong use this as an excuse to launch a mutiny?

Frame!

Wei Yuanzhong's heart suddenly woke up, Wei Juyuan was framed!

At this moment, Li Xiantong walked in lightly, stood quietly with Wei Yuanzhong, and watched the old doctor give Li Chongyi a needle.

Long.

"Poof......

Li Chongyi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly raised his head and spurted out a stream of dirty blood, spraying all over the bed!

"Alright, live!" The old doctor breathed a sigh of relief, "Great luck, the eighty-year-old man has only half a breath left, and he can still live!" ”

"Ahh Li Chongyi let out this long moan and wail from his throat, as if he had spit out all the pain and discomfort in one breath. Anyone who hears this voice will feel a little eerie, as if it is like the sound of a ghost crying from hell, which is sad enough.

"Grandfather!" Li Xiantong stepped forward happily and knelt down on his knees in front of the hospital bed.

"Don't make a noise!"

The old doctor was still very impatient, and carefully helped Li Chongyi to lie down, and said, "The old man goes to prescribe medicine, and you all go out!" Li Lao Linggong has just escaped death, it is not appropriate to speak, it is not appropriate to bother, no one will see! ”

"Yes......"

No one dared not listen to the doctor's words, Li Xiantong obediently agreed, and waved his hand at Wei Yuanzhong to signal the two to leave together.

Just as they were about to leave, a weak and vague voice came from behind the two, "Wei Yushi, please stay." ”

Wei Yuanzhong's eyebrows sank, and he stopped and turned around, "The lower official is here." ”

"Fairchild, come over too." Li Chongyi said.

The two walked to the hospital bed together. Wei Yuanzhong fixed his eyes and saw that Li Chongyi's face was pale and gray, and he did look like he had just escaped death after a serious illness.

The old doctor came to stop him again, Li Chongyi waved his hand hard, and said: "The old man is eighty years old, if it weren't for the wrong love entrusted to the old man by His Majesty, the old man would have wanted to go to the ground for peace." Now at the time of crisis, the old man forced this last breath to deal with the problem at hand. ”

The old doctor sighed, and took the boy to another room to write the prescription. The remaining four maidservants also withdrew and closed the door.

There were only three people left in the room.

Wei Yuanzhong has been quietly observing, and there are still many doubts in his heart, and he can't sort it out for a while.

"Wei Yushi, the old man is the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, Li Chongyi." This is Li Chongyi's official opening remarks.

Wei Yuanzhong arched his hand, "Lower official, supervise the imperial history Wei Yuanzhong." ”

"Now you represent the law of the imperial court, and you are inquiring into the cases that have occurred in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion today." Li Chongyi was lying on the bed very weakly, looking at Wei Yuanzhong with a sideways face, looking angry, and said slowly: "We, all business. ”

"Okay." Wei Yuanzhong said simply, "Then, please ask Li Changshi to tell the palace in detail about the situation you have encountered." ”

"Okay." Li Chongyi agreed and said, "In the afternoon, my grandson Li Xiantong came in and told me that there was a case of desertion in the army that there was a royal history of the imperial court to pick up a case of desertion in the army. Afterwards, he strongly requested to meet the old man, saying that there was an important military plane to meet the old man. ”

"That's right." Wei Yuanzhong said, "The person who wants to see you is me." ”

"But Wei Juyuan won't let the old man see you." Li Chongyi said.

"For what?" Wei Yuanzhong asked.

Li Chongyi sighed and said, "Because during the period when the old man was seriously ill, he relied on the old man's trust in him and the various powers temporarily entrusted to him, and did a lot of things that corrupted the law and the dynasty. Once you and I confront each other, he will be exposed in his original form and die without a place to be buried. ”

Wei Yuanzhong frowned, "In that case, why didn't Li Changshi deal with it earlier?" ”

"The old man also died once, and he didn't know it until he found out." Li Chongyi said intermittently, "I really know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, the old man looks at him Wei Juyuan is usually very sanctimonious, and he is also quite shrewd and capable." Unexpectedly, it is such a despicable villain! ”

"Li Changshi, don't make a vain evaluation first, just talk about the facts." Wei Yuanzhong said in a businesslike tone, "As far as I know, when Li Changshi was sick, your grandson, Li Xiantong, who was the Fa Cao of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou, had been in charge of various important military and political affairs of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with Wei Juyuan. During this period, he also married Wei Juyuan's daughter. Li Changshi, could it be that everything Wei Juyuan did, Li Xiantong didn't know? ”

"I really don't know what to do." Li Xiantong replied, "I am just a Facao who joined the army, and I have my own responsibilities. Wei Juyuan doesn't have to tell me about things outside of my authority, and I don't dare to inquire about them. As for marrying his daughter, it is entirely my private matter. It's just that the two love each other, and it has nothing to do with business! ”

Wei Yuanzhong smiled slightly and said, "Then Li joins the army, you should always have a little notice that Wei Juyuan is abusing the power that your grandfather temporarily entrusted to him, right?" He was the last to murder your grandfather, didn't you know anything about it beforehand? ”

"Wei Yushi, you seem to have asked a little too much." Li Chongyi interrupted and said, "Now should be to discuss the issue between the old man and Wei Juyuan, why did you point the finger at Li Xiantong?" ”

"No, the spearhead of this official is not directed at anyone, only at the truth of the facts!" Wei Yuanzhong said righteously, "Li Senjun is Li Changshi's closest and most trusted person, if Wei Juyuan has repeatedly misbehaved and he has not made any report to Li Changshi, then Li Xiantong's motives and behavior are very suspicious." Therefore, the official has reason to suspect that Li Xiantong is also Wei Juyuan's accomplice! ”

"Nonsense! How could I have murdered my grandfather? Li Xiantong scolded, "Besides, from a private standpoint, I am Wei Sima's son-in-law and a junior; He was my immediate boss from a business standpoint. He doesn't have to explain anything to me. In addition, I am not familiar with the situation in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Bingzhou when I first come to Chadao, and it is very easy for Wei Sima to give orders to me alone! To this day, I still don't believe that Wesma would murder my grandfather. For I had seen that he respected and loved my grandfather even more than my father, and I had always regarded Wesa as if he were my own uncle—if it had not been so, how could I have been close to his daughter, and had he finally married him? ”

"You don't have to say a word." Li Chongyi reprimanded and said, "Wei Yushi, let's talk about the matter, Wei Juyuan plotted to kill me, it is indeed a fact. Just a few hours ago, he walked into the old man's bedroom and said that there was an important military negotiation, dismissed the medical officer, the boy and the servant and maid beside the old man, and then stretched out his hands to pinch the old man's neck. You see, the bruises are still there! ”

Li Chongyi raised his neck to show Wei Yuanzhong that there were indeed a few black bruises.

Wei Yuanzhong was noncommittal, it was too easy to disguise such a small detail.

At that time, the old man was choked to death by him, and a maidservant girl heard the movement in the room and broke it on the spot. Then, the old man's servants and maidservants rushed in and arrested Wei Juyuan. Li Chongyi said, "Regardless of whether Wei Yushi wants human evidence or physical evidence, everything is available." ”

"Okay." Wei Yuanzhong nodded, thinking that Li Chongyi had been an official for many years, and he must be well aware of all legal procedures. Case-handling is about evidence, and even if the person handling the case has 10,000 doubts in his heart, it is no bigger than the evidence in front of him. At the moment, even if I know that the scars on Li Chongyi's neck and those witnesses are fake, I can only accept it before I prove that these evidence are fake!

Wei Yuanzhong could only scold in his heart, sure enough, he was familiar with the doorway, and he was a traitor!

"That's what the old man can say to you." Li Chongyi said, "As for what Wei Juyuan did during the period when the old man was seriously ill, Wei Yushi will check it himself!" It should be the responsibility of the old man, and he will never shirk it; It should be counted on the source of Wei Ju, and the old man will definitely not suffer it for him. ”

"Okay, this official will go and interrogate Wei Juyuan now." Wei Yuanzhong snapped his fist, "Farewell." ”

"Fairy child, go with Wei Yushi."

"Yes. My grandfather rests and recuperates, and my grandson asks me to say goodbye! ”

The two left Li Chongyi's room, and Wei Yuanzhong was thinking in his heart that Li Chongyi insisted that Wei Juyuan was going to strangle him with his own hands, which would be tantamount to putting all the fault on Wei Juyuan alone.

So what should Wei Juyuan say?

"Wei Yushi, please follow me." Li Xiantong was still leading the way, "The incident happened suddenly, Wei Juyuan was arrested and locked up in the Dadu Governor's Mansion on the spot, not far from here. ”

"Okay."

The two of them walked through the Governor's palace for a while, and came to a courtyard where some sergeants were closely guarded.

"Open the door." Li Xiantong instructed the sergeant to open a huge copper lock.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Wei Yuanzhong saw a pair of ...... Dangling feet!

Looking up again, a man in a crimson official robe hung on a beam with his feet off the ground, his head tilted and his neck broken, his face was black, and his tongue was stuck out.

"Father-in-law!! …… Someone, someone! Li Xiantong screamed miserably, hurriedly beckoned the sergeant to step forward, and hugged the man hanging on the beam.

"Wei Sima, you're out of breath!"

"It's time to see if he's doing well......"

"This is suicide in fear of sin, right?"

The sergeants were talking.

"Father-in-law!" Li Xiantong threw himself on Wei Juyuan's corpse and just cried, crying very sadly.

Wei Yuanzhong was completely expected of everything in front of him, so he watched coldly and said nothing, only said in his heart, there is no proof of death...... Well done!
