Li Shouyi really dared to write Xue Chongxun's matter as a song and hand it over. Generally speaking, it is about major events such as the national economy and people's livelihood, or about national policies and disciplines, or about specific major events such as the increase or reduction of taxes for drought and flood disasters...... A criminal case, actually directly said to the emperor, so what are the following Dali Siqing, the Shangshu Shilang of the Criminal Department, and the Yushi Zhongcheng doing? If someone else does this when they are handling the case, it is tantamount to offending a large number of people, but Li Shouyi does this, and everyone is too lazy to bother with him, he is such a person, he doesn't know how to change anything, and he has to make a fool of himself.

Emperor Li Dan only glanced at it, and didn't care what was going on with the case itself, and when he saw that it involved court officials, he sent the chapter to the Imperial History Observatory for processing according to the usual method. The servant of the Yushitai looked at the affairs of Princess Taiping's family, and it was a little difficult...... Someone finally remembered the old boss Xiao Zhizhong!

Xiao Zhizhong used to do the imperial history of Zhongcheng, and now he has become the prime minister, the Zhongshu order, and the same Zhongshu Sect Pingzhang. Zhongzong's crown prince Li Chongjun failed in a coup d'état, and someone said in front of Zhongzong that Princess Taiping was also an accomplice, Xiao Zhizhong admonished, "Your Majesty is rich all over the world, can't you tolerate a younger brother and sister?" Since he has a good relationship with Princess Taiping, and now he is a person who often goes in and out of Princess Taiping's door, and the imperial historians communicate with Xiao Zhizhong in private, depending on his attitude, this matter will be handled more securely. Moreover, the prime minister is a bureaucrat of a hundred officials, and there is nothing wrong with officials discussing things with the prime minister.

Xiao Zhizhong heard this, and quickly said: "When you report this matter back to Jinshang, I'm afraid that Jinshang will ask first: Have you asked Taiping?" Have you asked Saburo? So I think you should ask the prince first, and then you don't have to do anything, just give the prince and the princess's opinion back to the present day...... There is no need to ask the princess, Wei Guogong is the son of the princess, is there a mother who is willing to search her son's house when she sees that others are okay? ”

The imperial history thought so, so he did what he said, and after many twists and turns, when he returned to the emperor again, three or four days had passed. Poor Li Shou's gang of people were bored and stared around Xue Chongxun's Mansion for several days, without any harvest or news.

Things went around, and he also asked Li Longji, Gao Lishi also figured out the process of the imperial historians, and estimated that the imperial historians should return to the emperor, so he quietly tried to find an opportunity to stay by the emperor's side. Gao Lishi's official is a doctor of Chaosan and an internal minister, and he is always with the emperor, so this matter is not difficult.

Gao Lishi thought: Since Li Shouyi wants to come forward to arrest the murderer, it is better to help him. The mastermind behind the murder of his cousin was naturally Xue Chongxun, but Gao Lishi also hated the slave of the Xue family who killed him personally, and letting her die could relieve the hatred in her heart a little.

Two days later, Li Dan met with the servant Yushi in the Lin De Palace, because he had just held a singing and dancing banquet here and had not yet left, and the Lin De Hall had the function of receiving officials on an informal occasion. At this time, Li Dan's interest was very high, and the dancers at the banquet were like flowers and jade, dancing gracefully, and it was really a great pleasure to watch, so that he was still unsatisfied after the banquet.

What a joyous feast, what a pleasant scene. As the master of Daming Palace, life is colorful, Li Dan not only likes the banquet of Linde Palace, but also likes to sit on the high dragon chair of Hanyuan Hall to watch the majestic scene of "thousands of officials look at Chang'an, and all countries worship Hanyuan".

Respectful status, rich life, and an open mind, this is what it feels like to be an emperor...... However, Li Dan's heart was full of awe and trepidation for his chair. In his life, he has experienced more than a dozen bloody coups, and isn't he fighting for this position? The road to the throne is not paved with red carpet, but with bright red blood!

In short, if you don't want to lose the throne, you have to hold the power in your hands. Therefore, Li Dan will always regularly inquire about the affairs of the imperial court, and after today's banquet, he has free time, so he met with several ministers in the Lin De Palace.

And the servant of the Imperial History Observatory also met the emperor at this time.

As Xiao Zhizhong expected, after listening to the reply of the imperial historian, Li Dan asked first: "Have you asked about Taiping?" ”

Yu Shi replied: "Back to the emperor, Her Royal Highness the princess thinks that Wei Guogong is an important minister of the imperial court and a relative of the emperor, so he should take care of his dignity and not be humiliated by the official office at will. ”

Li Dan nodded, and asked again: "Does San Lang know?" ”

Yu Shi said: "The prince is in charge of the country, and naturally he has given His Royal Highness the prince." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is saying that the government is clear, so the rewards and punishments should be clear, regardless of relatives and relatives, and if the Duke of Wei Guo is suspicious, he should be impartially examined...... However, major military affairs, the appointment of officials above the fifth grade, and important criminal cases should still be decided by the emperor. The Duke of Wei Guo is too Changqing, and the prince has no right to order rewards and punishments. ”

Li Dan groaned, still hesitating. At this moment, Gao Lishi on the side said softly: "Your Majesty, Wei Guogong is suspicious, if you don't investigate, the suspicion will not be cleared, and it will be unfair if you don't do it." ”

Although Gao Lishi's words were not loud, Li Dan heard it clearly, he hesitated again, and felt that Gao Lishi was also reasonable, so he said to Yu Shi: "Then let Yu Shi go with Li Shouyi to check, whether the suspect is really in the Weiguo Mansion, Xue Chongxun is my nephew, tell him to pay attention to etiquette." ”

……

After Xue Chongxun learned of the emperor's will, he was very surprised, and immediately thought in his heart: Jinshang is really a person who sways from side to side, if I pin my hope on him, I am afraid that I don't know how to die......

"Lang Jun, the big thing is not good, Li Shouyi's old man shouted outside, and without opening the door, he forcibly entered the house to search, saying that it is the holy decree of the gods to investigate us." Jixiang ran in in a panic.

Xue Chongxun frowned and said, "Ask someone to open the door......"

Ji Xiang got the word and ran to the gate, and the word told the porter to open the door, and all the slaves of the Xue family stood at the gate and waited. The soldiers outside are also eyeing each other, this situation is already very tense, what etiquette is there to speak of?

Li Shouyi waved his hand one by one and said: "Enter the mansion, search carefully for me, you can't miss every corner!" He shouted and deliberately gave a look to one of the guards beside him, but the guard's gaze was deliberately averted, and his expression was a little frightened.

This person is a slave in Feng's mansion, and he saw Sanniang on the day of the incident, and Li Shouyi asked him to recognize him. But he was very afraid of Xue Chongxun, so he finally let him disguise himself as a soldier and quietly recognize people on the side, and he was willing.

After Li Shou and his people entered the mansion, they assigned people and arranged two teams to search every place in Xue Mansion. And Xue Chongxun's follower Jixiang is running errands back and forth, reporting the situation to Xue Chongxun at any time.

Xue Chongxun also began to be anxious in his heart, mainly because he didn't expect the emperor to give such an order, just after getting the news, Li Shouyi was about to enter the mansion to search, and Xue Chongxun basically had no preparation.

The surroundings of Xue's Mansion have been controlled, and now letting Sanniang run out is self-defeating, but the Weiguo Mansion is so big, it can't be compared with the Zhenguo Taiping Princess's Mansion at all, where can you hide people?

Sanniang had already been called by Pei Niang sent by Xue Chongxun, and was next to Xue Chongxun. Seeing Xue Chongxun's brows furrowed and pacing back and forth, Sanniang herself didn't panic, but said lightly in her hoarse voice: "Lang Jun has done his best, Sanniang has no regrets when she sees Lang Jun so worried about me." It's better to just hand me over, anyway, there is nowhere to go, so as not to hide from the Tibetan wolf bèi and be ridiculed in vain. ”

"Lang Jun, Lang Jun! The official has passed the corridor, and he will see us as soon as he enters the cave door! Jixiang shouted as he ran under the eaves.

At this time, Sanniang's pale face actually showed a smile, knowing her for so long, Xue Chongxun saw her smile for the first time, but it was still in this critical situation. Xue Chongxun was thinking hard, so he asked casually, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Sanniang smiled: "I laugh at Langjun's current appearance......"

Maybe it was Sanniang's smile that stung somewhere in Xue Chongxun's heart, and he now had an inexplicable mood, very reluctant to lose her.

In fact, Sanniang is not a very important person to him. But as long as it is human, how can it be completely ruthless? Xue Chongxun can't care about pursuing himself now, why is he in such a mood, maybe it's because he is kind to her? The human psychology is really elusive: if others are kind to them, they feel very uncomfortable if they are in debt; On the other hand, if you are kind to others, you feel that person is very kind.

Or sympathize with her life and suffering? In short, Xue Chongxun didn't understand, and he didn't have time to think about it.

"Lang Jun, they're at the door!"

At this time, Sanniang was still standing in front of Xue Chongxun's door, and she didn't start hiding at all.

Sanniang said again: "I have poison in my teeth, as long as I bite it, I can get rid of it, and I won't say anything." We don't have to struggle needlessly...... Let me remember you for your goodness, and die a better death. ”

Is Xue Chongxun really good to her? So who is she facing death now?

"No!" Xue Chongxun said categorically, "People can't resign themselves to fate!" You come with me. He said that he couldn't care less, and grabbed Sanniang's hand and walked into the room.

The first time he grabbed her hand, it was really very cold, Xue Chongxun didn't understand why a big living person had cold hands like ghosts?
