Changsun Sheng arrived in Wugong County yesterday evening, and lived in the post house in Wugong County, which was heavily guarded; Yu Zhiben was a few days ago, he mixed into the post house as a handyman, Yu Zhiben originally lived in Chang'an, no one knew him in that place in Wugong County, even though Yu Zhiben's picture was hung at the gate of the city, it was actually much worse than the real person. In the second half of the night, Yu Zhiben killed three guards and entered Changsun Sheng's room, thanks to Changsun Sheng's carefulness, even when he was sleeping, there was a guard left in the room.

The guards found Yu Zhiben going in and immediately called the police; Who would have thought that Yu Zhiben would hold the confidence of death, not retreat, but advance, killed the guards, injured Changsun Sheng, and was cut down by the brigade that rushed in. Yang Chong heard it like a fantasy, what kind of person is Mei Gongzi, who can play a three-legged role in the Sui Han Hall, and escaped from Chang'an safely in the arrest of the imperial court, such a character should not look down on his life.

Yang Chong pondered for a long time in the corridor of the post house, and finally returned to Zhang Fang and said that the shadow graphics were not like himself, and his heart couldn't help but move, and when he learned that Changsun Sheng had escaped, he said goodbye to Changsun Chi and returned to Shangshutai. Seeing Wei Xuan, Yang Chong said the guess in his heart, and said meaningfully: "The general should find someone who is familiar with Yu Zhiben, go to Wugong as soon as possible, and determine whether the assassin is Yu Zhiben himself." ”

Wei Xuan and Yang Chong have been friends for a long time, of course, they understand that Yang Chong is worried about himself, the person in charge of Chang'an, and after Yang Chong left, Wei Xuan did not notify anyone, took his own guards and two hundred cavalry, rushed to Wugong County in the starry night, and brought the body hanging on the city gate back to Chang'an. The next day, Wei Xuan sent someone to find Yu Zhiben's relatives and servants to identify him, and the body was hit by dozens of knives and guns, and there were also scars on his face, no matter how you look at it, there are some differences; In the end, under coercion, one of Yu Zhiben's clan uncles said that when Yu Zhiben was competing with others, he had suffered a sword wound, which was the location of an old wound in the corpse, which should be correct.

Qu Tugai, who was asked by Wei Xuan to help, said with a smile: "The family can't recognize it, how did Changsun Sheng's entourage recognize it as Zhiben, it is better to go through Changsun Sheng's people in the name of investigation." As for the old injury, if Yu Zhiben had prepared a stand-in, I am afraid that he would have expected these a long time ago, a person who can control Sui Hantang, if he can't even think of this, it will be difficult to say. ”

Wei Xuan thought about it for a long time, but still adopted Qu Tugai's suggestion and ordered an investigation; When Changsun Chi heard this, he angrily went to Zuotun Wei General Yao Biao to reason, Yao Biao just asked someone to hand over a cup of tea and said: "Why hasn't Lord Shangshu reacted yet, Brother Ling's injury can't be healed for a while, and the Son of Heaven is an acute son, if there is no good reason, I'm afraid that the network between Suihantang and the Western Regions will have to be handed over, General Wei Xuan is helping you." ”

Changsun Chi was in a hurry just now, and when he heard the words, Wei Xuanneng was trusted by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and sent to Chang'an to be responsible, but he really had a vision and pattern that he couldn't match; Yao Wei tasted the tea and said: "This green tea made by Yang Chong is a good thing, the color is emerald green, the aroma is high, the soup color is clear and bright, and the bottom of the leaves is tender and green, no wonder the Cui family has made a lot of money." But Yang Chong himself didn't care, and when he didn't have any money, Yang Chong gave 10,000 yuan to the medical school, because of what; Because this kid has the bottom in his heart, you look at the current fragrant pancreas, soy sauce, and perfume of Procter & Gamble, if Yang Chong is not an official for ten years, the first rich businessman in Dasui dare not say it, and the first rich businessman in Chang'an is sure. ”

The eldest grandson Chi is also an old fox, and he heard the subtext of Yao Wei, ostensibly praising Yang Chong for making money, but in fact reminding him that Yang Chong's Dingxi policy made the military department greatly earn face, and if Pei Ju wanted to get back the scene, he had to hold Sui Hantang in his hand again. If Pei Ju does this, it means that Pei Ju has a bottom in his heart, as for why he has a bottom, it is nothing more than that Sui Hantang still has a secret or a handle in Pei Ju's hands.

Eldest Sun Chi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and said, "I'll go to see Wei Xuan to see if he still needs help." ”

When Changsun Chi found Wei Xuan, there had been a breakthrough in the case, and after Qu Tugai asked that it was Changsun Sheng's bodyguard, Changsun Ming, who was the first to say that the assassin was Yu Zhiben, he immediately concentrated his firepower and found a hundred taels of gold in Changsun Ming's saddle. In front of Wei Xuan and Changsun Chi, Qu Tugai used a big punishment, but Changsun Ming was beaten and covered with scars, and he still gritted his teeth and didn't say whether he was alive or dead; Changsun Chi paced down the hall from the lobby, walked up to Changsun Ming and asked, "The Changsun clan took you in and took care of your whole family, but is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Changsun Ming was originally a subordinate general of Changsun Sheng, and he took the initiative to ask to join the slave membership of Changsun Clan, and after listening to Changsun Chi's words, Changsun Ming did not argue, but closed his eyes. The eldest grandson Chi said softly: "Now the life of the eldest grandson family is not easy, if you die, I can only sell your wife and children, and I don't know if anyone will take them in." ”

Jiao Jun, the head of the government servant, immediately understood what Changsun Chi meant, and interjected on the side: "The adults are too worried, seeing that Changsun Ming is only thirty years old, and his wife is only in her twenties at most. No one wants it anymore, Qinglou can always go, as for children, it is more convenient, how many people are busy all their lives, for various reasons there is no son, it is a boy who wants it, but unfortunately he has to change his surname. ”

Qu Tugai sighed when he heard this and said: "The world is unpredictable, Jiao Jun, you still invite Changsun Ming's wife and children to meet, let their family meet, and by the way, see what clues there are in Changsun Ming's family, and the official is just taking a rest." ”

Changsun Ming collapsed instantly, and puffed to give Changsun Chi to kneel, crying and saying: "Second master, you can't let them do that, I made a mistake in a moment of confusion, but my wife and children are innocent." ”

Eldest Sun Chi knew that he had to break the last trace of luck of Eldest Sun Ming, and said sharply: "If you don't tell the truth, you are likely to be convicted of being an assassin's accomplice, which is a major crime of murder, even if my third brother and I don't care about you, the laws of the court will not spare you." If you wake up now and provide some favorable evidence, then I will be able to intercede for you. ”

Jiao Jun said loudly: "According to the law, those who kill will pay for their lives, and their families will be exiled to the frontier. ”

Changsun Ming came from the border army, so he naturally knew what it was like for a woman to be exiled to the frontier, once she entered the prostitute camp, it was worse than life and death. Changsun Ming struggled for a quarter of an hour, and finally said, "I said, I said." In Zhangye, I went to Qinglou to meet a friend, who was very generous and often paid for me; Two days before leaving Zhangye, he found me and gave me a hundred taels of gold, saying that as long as I saw a small flag at the scene of the dead man on the way back, he would say that the dead man was Yu Zhiben, otherwise he would kill my whole family. ”

Wei Xuan let out a long breath, this is the method of Sui Hantang, smart and concise, even if it is investigated, the clues have already been cut off; Qu Tugai asked for some more details, and then asked the eldest grandson to sign and draw the pledge. Even if there is no evidence, at this moment, Wei Xuan and the three of them have no doubt that it was not Mei Gongzi Yu Zhiben who died, but just a stand-in thrown out by Sui Hantang.

Three days later, Changsun Sheng finally came to his senses and let the military and bigwigs in Chang'an City celebrate each other, as for the battle between Changsun Sheng and Pei Ju, no one cared. Wei Xuan told a lie for the first time in his recital to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and picked Yang Chong clean in the whole incident; The whirlpool of Chang'an made Yang Guang leave in advance, and Yang Guang and Yu Wenshu came to a conclusion that all the disciples of the family should be in the Sui Han Hall, so that they would become the dependence of Gao Gong and Pei Ju.
