Chapter 798 - Certificates are still needed
Thinking that it was very likely that his heart was to protect his daughter's safety, and he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself, but somehow, Yang Guang's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears.
He deliberately turned his back, restrained himself, and said to Feng Xiaoxi: "What you said is certainly somewhat reasonable, but before the matter is settled, you still need to suffer some grievances." Come on, take this woman down and put her in prison. ”
Guo Yan responded and prepared to take Feng Xiaoxi to be imprisoned.
"The servant still has one thing, and I hope that the prince will allow it." Feng Xiaoxi was not in a hurry to retreat with Guo Yan, so he bowed to Yang Guang and pleaded.
"Speak."
"If the truth of the matter in the future is as I said today, the servant asks the prince to be gracious and return the servant to freedom."
"If this king wants to keep you in the palace on an errand, don't you want to stay?" Yang Guang turned around, looked at Feng Xiaoxi, and asked.
"I only ask the prince to fulfill the wish of the servant." Feng Xiaoxi replied with lowered eyes.
"Okay. If this case is solved by what you say today, the king will set you free. Yang Guang heard from Feng Xiaoxi's calm tone that she had made up her mind, so he readily agreed to her request.
After Guo Yan took Feng Xiaoxi away, Yang Guang let out a long sigh of relief, and deeply felt the horror of Guan Zi's looming opponent: he had a whim, guessing that Guan Zizi was not owned by a certain person alone, and it was very likely that he would be succeeded by Xinyi after Gao Qinglian's death (more precisely, when Xinxin surrendered to the imperial court and identified Gao Liansheng as Guan Zizi), and Xinyi died unexpectedly. So according to this inference, will there be a third Guan Zizi who will appear and become another strong opponent to appease Jiangnan?
Wait!
A gust of wind blew through the hall, Yang Guang's mind was blown by the wind, and he became calm, he secretly reminded himself: At present, there is no evidence that Xinyi is the second Guan Zizai who he suspects, except that Feng Xiaoxi suspects that she and Sima Luo are both drugged by Xinyi, and there is even no direct evidence to prove that Xinyi died by suicide, and the truth of the assassination incident in Tongguangni Temple needs to be carefully verified before the truth can be revealed. You must not rashly characterize this matter and draw conclusions based on your own conjectures and Feng Xiaoxi's one-sided words.
Raising his hand to cover his hot forehead, Yang Guang forced himself to sit down, and began to think about the person who would solve this case: he had just ordered Liang Mo to return to Jiankang and temporarily take the position of the head of Yuwenshu, and Yuwenshu was solely responsible for investigating the case, but that was just a gesture to confuse the opponent, Yuwenshu's strength was to lead the army to fight, not to investigate the case, which Yang Guang knew.
In addition to the two generals Yu Wenshu and Liang Mo, the only two people around him who are most suitable to preside over the investigation of the two murders that occurred in Jiankang City are Zhang Heng and Pei Yun, but these two people are said to have their own words for the death of the heart, and they have heated arguments. Outsiders will then think that they agree with Xinyi's death by suicide, and either way, it is not conducive to objectively seeking truth from the truth of the case.
It's a pity that An Ruoxi has already died, otherwise with her talent, she would be the best person to preside over the investigation. Yang Guang was suffering from the fact that there was no one around him, and he couldn't help but miss An Ruoxi again, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Lord Yu, Zhang Heng Changshi, Pei Yun Duji Office and the Chief Manager of Yuwenshu heard the news of the prince's arrival in Guangling, and they all sent people to present the gift sticker, asking to cross the river to see the prince. In addition, a joint letter from the Jiankang General Administration and Government Office was forwarded to Wei Huang and Li Jing, the county guard, and petitioned the prince to look at it. I don't know when, Guo Yan returned to the council hall with a stack of stickers in his hand and reported respectfully.
Hearing that there was a joint letter from Wei Huang and Li Jing, Yang Guang was in high spirits, and immediately ordered Guo Yan to hand over the two of them alone, unfold them on the several cases in front of him, and look at them intently.
Guo Yan did not dare to retreat without permission because he was still holding the stickers of Zhang Heng and others in his hand, and stood aside and waited for Yang Guang to give instructions after reading the letters of Wei and Li.
After a quarter of an hour, Yang Guang's eyes moved away from the letters on several cases, turned to Guo Yan, and asked Guo Yan coldly: "What do you think Li Jing's character and talent are, and can he be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?" ”
Although Guo Yan and Li Jing are both Yang Guang's personal guards, they are not very familiar with each other, and at this time, when Yang Guang suddenly asked him about Li Jing's character and talent, it was inconvenient to comment rashly, so he replied thoughtfully: "I have long heard the story of him breaking into the palace to save his father and helping the court to investigate the rebellion of the three families, and he was promoted by the prince to be able to work by the prince's side, although the last general has worked with him for a short time, but he can also expect that Li Jing must be a young talent......
"Uh-huh." Listening to Guo Yan's words, Yang Guang agreed casually, and at the same time his eyes fell on the letter on the several cases in front of him, and then pondered, picked up the pen, brushed a little bit and wrote a letter in his own handwriting, personally sealed it with fire paint, and instructed Guo Yan: "Send 600 li to rush to Huiji, hand over this king's letter to Li Jing, and order him to act according to the letter and not make mistakes." ”
Guo Yan agreed, took the letter, turned around and walked out a few steps, because he remembered that there was still a gift from Zhang Heng and others in his hand, he stopped again, and asked Yang Guangdao: "Lord Wang, how should the general reply to Zhang Changshi and the others?" ”
"There is such a big case in Jiankang City, a few of them don't want to try their best to investigate the case, what are they doing when they cross the river to see this king? Tell the king that they should come to the king with the two murderers. ”
Yang Guang suddenly became angry.
Guo Yan's face changed, he didn't dare to say a word, and he resigned himself to the order and retreated.
However, only three days later, Pei Yun crossed the river from Jiankang alone to Guangling and asked to see Yang Guanglai.
Because three days ago, Yang Guang confessed to Guo Yan that he had something to say, asking him to tell Zhang Heng, Pei Yun and others that only after catching the real culprits of the two murders in Jiankang City would he be allowed to come to Guangling to meet him, so as soon as he heard that the sergeant guarding the door came to report, Pei Yun had arrived outside the governor's mansion to wait, Yang Guang was overjoyed, and he completely forgot his dissatisfaction with Pei Yun a few days ago, and used a word to ask Pei Yun to meet in the chamber.
After a while, I saw Pei Yun walking into the conference hall alone with a smile on his face.
Yang Guang opened his eyes and glanced out of the hall, and when Pei Yun saluted him, he asked him suspiciously, "What about the prisoners you brought?" ”
