Li Yuan, the new Longzhou assassin who was left in Chang'an by the crown prince Yang Yong to help him try the "Bodhisattva" case, got a report early in the morning, saying that Nan Chen, who was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, was going to commit suicide by swallowing gold by swallowing gold.

After Li Yuan heard the report, he immediately rushed to the East Palace to meet the crown prince Yang Yong to report the emergency, and at the same time ordered the cell to be sealed up, and ordered him to go to the autopsy to find out the cause of the death of the "Bodhisattva".

He's still dead! Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh on the way to the East Palace on horseback.

Yang Su's attempt to intimidate the "Bodhisattva" into confessing to his accomplices failed in his attempt. On the night when he and Yang Su escorted the "Bodhisattva" back to the Eastern Capital, Yang Su angrily attacked four bandits who had robbed Li Yuan in Longmen in front of the "Bodhisattva", but the "Bodhisattva" was not intimidated at all, and only asked Yang Su to release the other robbers immediately, otherwise he would not confess a word until he died.

Yang Su was overjoyed to hear that he was willing to ask him to release his accomplices, and released the other robbers on the spot, and together with Li Yuan, took the "Bodhisattva" to a secret room in his mansion to listen to his confession.

The "Bodhisattva" did what he said, and without Yang Su's torture, he happily confessed his real name and the purpose of this trip to the south.

"My name is Xiao Wujian, a native of Jiangling, and this time I was ordered by the Great Bodhisattva Guan Zizai to urgently return to Jiankang to meet the new emperor and accept the new edict. The purpose of setting up an ambush and robbing the officers and soldiers at Longmen is my order to attract your attention and create a good opportunity for me to clear the customs and go south. ”

However, when Yang Su asked further with burning eyes, "Bodhisattva" Xiao Wujian stopped talking.

Rao is so, after hearing that Xiao Wujian went south this time to return to Jiankang, the capital of Emperor Chen, to meet the new emperor Chen Shubao to receive the edict, Yang Su still felt a burst of joy, thinking that his hard work was not in vain, and he really caught a big fish.

It is true that when Li Yuan was entrusted by Yang Su to escort Xiao Wujian back to Chang'an, after Yang Jian got the news, he also had a strong interest in this half-captured Nanchen criminal, not only ordered the crown prince Yang Yong to personally preside over the case, but also at the request of Yang Yong, specially transferred Li Yuan, who had been ordered to be transferred to Longzhou in the northwest to serve as the assassin, temporarily stayed in Chang'an to help Yang Yong try the case.

Since Xiao Wujian claimed to be on the orders of Guan Zizai and went down from the southeast of Guan to return to Jiankang, Yang Yong and Li Yuan focused their interrogation on forcing Xiao Wujian to confess to Guan Zizi's hiding place in Chang'an City, as well as his disguised identity, however, no matter what means Yang Yong and Li Yuan used to use both soft and hard, Xiao Wujian always refused to confess any situation in which Guan was free.

Later, Li Yuan offered Yang Yong's advice: "It is better to deliberately let out the wind and reveal the news that Xiao Wujian was arrested on the way back to the south, and lure his accomplices in Chang'an City to come to his rescue. ”

Yang Yong thought about it repeatedly, and felt that it was indeed impossible to think about it all the way, so he nodded and approved Li Yuan's strategy to lure the snake out of the hole.

To Li Yuan's surprise, less than four or five days after the news was released, Xiao Wujian suddenly died in his cell.

"Could it be that Guan Zizai heard that Xiao Wujian was captured by the imperial court, worried that he would confess himself, and instructed people to sneak into the prison to kill people?" Yang Yong was discussing the idea of building a new capital with the left servant Gao Ying, the general master craftsman Liu Long and others in the East Palace, when he saw Li Yuan suddenly coming to the East Palace, he hurriedly let Li Yuan go to the side room, frowned and listened to Li Yuan's report about Xiao Wuji's death, and blurted out Li Yuan.

"According to common sense, the inside and outside of the prison are heavily guarded, and after the news of Xiao Wuji's capture was released, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince transferred three hundred forbidden troops to ambush around the prison, allowing you to arrest the bandits who came to rob the prison at any time. In this situation, how could Xiao Wujian be shut up and extinguished? On the way to the East Palace to meet Yang Yong, Li Yuan had already ruled out the possibility of Xiao Wujian being wiped out in his heart, so he immediately questioned Yang Yong.

Prince Yang Yong has been proud of the spring breeze recently, Yuwenxin led thousands of men and horses, unexpectedly captured the important town of Yunzhou in the Turkic territory, cut off the retreat of Sha Bo Luo Xi to fight Apo, and then directly affected the evolution of the war situation in the east, creating extremely favorable conditions for Yang Guang to send troops to meet Yang Shuang's army trapped in Wuyuan City and safely withdraw to Yanmen Pass. Because of this, he was appreciated by Yang Jian, and changed his previous impression that his eldest son was more than successful and not enterprising, and changed Yang Yong's previous participation in the government to the government. Although there is only a difference of one word, the Chinese martial arts of the dynasty can figure out the deep meaning behind this change of the word "ginseng" and "palm": the era of the prince's palm dynasty is coming.

Yang Yong, as one of the only few important people in the court and the palace who knew about the existence of Nanchen's secret spy agency in Chang'an City, the Yanchao, naturally pinned a lot of hopes on Xiao Wujian, hoping to find a breakthrough in the seizure of Guan Zizi from him, so as to wipe out the Yanchao and completely remove the nail that Nanchen inserted into Chang'an. He asked his cousin Li Yuan to stay and help him try Xiao Wujian's case, in addition to the reason for wooing Li Yuan into the princeling, he did not have the reason to be busy, and considered the factors that Li Yuan, who was quite trusted by his mother Dugu Jialuo, to pull the trick and contribute to him.

It was precisely because Li Yuan had left a shrewd and steady impression in the past, so when he suggested that he use the strategy of luring the snake out of the hole not long ago and release the news that Xiao Wujian had been arrested, Yang Yong nodded without thinking too much.

But now that it is self-defeating, Xiao Wujian still died in the prison without confessing, which can't help but make Yang Yong have a trace of doubt about Li Yuan's ability to handle errands: Li Yuan was sent by his mother to lead Qianniuwei to be stationed in Yang Guang's Jin Wangfu to guard the eldest sister Yang Lihua, but as a result, the Jin Wangfu has repeatedly had accidents, and this time he smashed the mission to investigate the case, should he be dragged into his princelings in the future?

At noon that day, the results of the autopsy came out: Xiao Wujian committed suicide by swallowing gold.

Yang Yong and Li Yuan were in the side room of the East Palace, looking at the bronze Buddha that was swallowed by Xiao Wujian and asked for his life, they all thought of one person: Guan Zizai.

At the same time, what puzzled the two of them was, who passed this bronze Buddha to Xiao Wujian who was under heavy guardianship?

Yang Yong then sent an order, and ordered Qu Tutong to lead the forbidden army to take all the people guarding the prison into prison and detention, and interrogated one by one to find out who dared to risk the destruction of the Nine Clans and privately pass the items to Xiao Wujian. As a result, before Qu Tutong could lead the people to the Heavenly Prison to arrest people, a sergeant under the command of the Commander's Mansion named He Shisan committed suicide by taking poison in his small dormitory in the small courtyard of the Heavenly Prison.

At the same time that He Shisan showed his original form and committed suicide by taking poison, his wife and children in the family disappeared as if they had evaporated from the world.

At this point in the investigation, Yang Yong and Li Yuan had to admit that they were defeated by Guan Zizai.
