Chapter Twenty-Three: Ironclad Evidence (Happy New Year)

Cui Dunli's cold sweat sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and he kept coming out one after another: at this moment, where did he care about how to impeach Luo Shixin, and all kinds of uneasiness came to his heart.

He always thought that Wang Junkuo was benevolent, righteous, wise and brave, and in the face of the rebellion of Li Ming, the king of Lujiang, he turned the tide with great wisdom, and killed the thief leaders Li Ying and Wang Shu almost bloodlessly, ensuring the safety of the north and helping the Tang Dynasty to avoid military disasters. From a personal point of view, Wang Junkuo rescued him from the hands of thieves and had the grace of saving his life.

Cui Dunli was iron-clad, and he did not waver in his belief in the face of severe torture, but this does not mean that he was beaten with iron, and he was tortured and interrogated, and he wished that he could die, but he relied on his personal ethics and integrity, in order not to leave a stench for 10,000 years, and relied on the arrogance of the literati to support it in one breath.

Wang Junkuo rescued him from the desperate situation of not being able to survive and not being able to die, and also made Cui Dunli instinctively derive a great affection for him. At the same time, Wang Junkuo is too good at acting and too good at acting, Cui Dunli let him be blinded, and when he returned to Chang'an, he didn't say much good things about Wang Junkuo. Whether in front of the emperor, or in front of relatives and friends.

Cui Dunli is a general secretary in Zhongshu Province, and he is a close minister who can talk directly to the emperor in Zhongshu Province, and he is a family of five surnames, with the surname Boling Cui in Shandong, and has a rich connection.

Wang Junkuo can become a well-known hero in a short period of time, and Cui Dunli can be said to have contributed a lot.

But the small ink made him suddenly realize how stupid he was at the beginning, and the Tang Dynasty was very disciplined about the secrecy of secret music, and there were also rules of death. Tantra, there is a secret word. Naturally, there is no public recital.

Ancient emperors were high up, they lived in the palace, and they had supreme power at the same time. And keep this certain mystery.

Only when the emperor is summoned or the emperor's relatives and close attendants can often meet with the emperor, even if it is an important minister in the court, even if it is a criminal department secretary like Luo Shixin, or even a secretary of the ministry, it is not easy to see Li Yuan. When we meet, so do the epistolary recitals. This is also the key to the six-ministry system of three provinces.

Whoever the minister's recital is to be handed over to the Zhongshu Province, which will review it and then hand it over to the emperor. After being drawn up by the emperor, it was sent to the Zhongshu Province for confirmation, and after confirmation, it was submitted to the Menxia Province for review. Finally, it was handed over to Shangshu Province for execution.

Rules are rules, and this process cannot be beaten.

However, the tantric music can go straight to the top of the rules, and no one except the emperor has the right to read the tantric music. Li Shimin has this right only because he has appointed a director. Otherwise, even if he is the crown prince. Nor can it be overstepped in its authority.

And the secret music is not something that everyone can make, Cui Dunli, as a general secretary of Zhongshu Province, is one of the few people who can send the secret music.

Cui Dunli has this right, knowing that the law stipulates that those who peek at the secret music are tantamount to treason and rebellion.

This truth is not only him, I believe that Wang Junkuo cannot not know. However, Wang Junkuo dismantled his tantric recital, and what it meant was almost self-evident. If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, why did he secretly watch his secret music?

"This ......," Cui Dunli wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. Speechless. The small details of the ink are enough to prove that Wang Junkuo has two hearts.

Luo Shixin didn't have time to take care of Cui Dunli's mood at the moment. His mind was already spinning, thinking about how to use this small piece of evidence to investigate it clearly.

"Wang Junkuo dares to open and read the confidential chapter without permission, which is really hateful." Cui Dunli thought about it for a while, thinking back to the past, his expression gradually became solemn, angry and angry, and finally he said with a long sigh: "Lord Shangshu said that the lesson was extremely true, although he is unwilling to admit that he is pedantic and brainless, this time he really let the villain calculate. The king of Lujiang should have let Wang Junkuo force him to rebel, not as Wang Junkuo said, he had the city in his chest and secretly planned for many years. โ€

"How?" Luo Shixin's initial bold assumptions were only analyzed by feeling and thinking, and Wang Junkuo was generally defined as the mastermind behind the scenes. However, their illusion is a kind of brain supplement after all, and the real intention situation is imagined, maybe in the past in terms of thinking, the details will definitely be deviated. As Cui Dunli, who was in direct contact with Wang Junkuo, was the most crucial witness, his new ideas and views were extremely important.

Cui Dunli said: "This time, I was ordered to send an envoy to Youzhou to secretly investigate whether the King of Lujiang harbored opposing intentions. The matter is strict, and I will investigate the situation in two ways: light and dark. Before I arrived in Youzhou, the dark line was already lurking in Youzhou to find out the situation, but it didn't find out any useful information until I was placed under house arrest. Not long after Wang Junkuo left the post house, King Lujiang had a real rebellion. At first I thought it was a coincidence, but now that I think about it, I realize that there is another possibility. King Lujiang read my secret letter, and hurriedly rebelled in order to protect himself. After I was imprisoned, I took away my seal. Wang Junkuo must have used my seal to forge a secret letter at that time. It's just that Skynet is magnificent, and after the ink clay I carried with me was used, it was placed on the table and not brought with me. They took me to prison and confiscated my seal, but they couldn't take the seal from the table. This gold lacquer mud is popular in the capital of Chang'an for a generation, Youzhou is located in a remote area, I don't know this thing, leaving a flaw. โ€

After a pause, he said: "Wang Junkuo's intentions are sinister and vicious, he can quell the chaos in a snap of his fingers, not because he has extraordinary ability, but because the king of Lujiang is completely unprepared, Wang Junkuo uses suspicion to force the king of Lujiang, but he is the first hero of the rebellion." โ€

Cui Dunli, as a general secretary, can be entrusted with an important task by Li Shimin, and he is still very capable of investigating the case, but he was only confused before. Now that I have woken up, my thoughts are clear and clear, and what I am talking about is the Tao.

Luo Shixin saw that Cui Dunli's analysis was generally consistent with his imagination except for some inevitable discrepancies in the details, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Cui, this matter is not to be made public. Before the king has subdued the law, he is not allowed to tell anyone to know. โ€

Cui Dunli said that he understood, and walked out of the criminal department with a bit of complexity: this time, his old face can be regarded as lost to his bones.

Luo Shixin immediately called Liu Yanke and told him about this latest discovery.

Liu Yanke was overjoyed and praised: "The adults are thoughtful, and the subordinates admire them, and the adults are aware of this small flaw." โ€

"Good luck, good luck!" Luo Shixin said with a bit of sรจ that the role of ink clay is extremely extensive. When you are in the army, military intelligence needs to be kept secret, and sealing mud is indispensable. Intimate letters exchanged between husband and wife are also not known to others, and these need to be sealed with mud just in case. At that time, Luo Shixin was vermilion lacquer ink, but he used it more but did not have an in-depth understanding. After returning to Chang'an, I switched to gold lacquer ink, which felt very different from before, and I also learned about it, but I didn't expect that today it has become the key to solving the case.

"What's next for you? Although the evidence of this ink is not enough to prove that Wang Junkuo is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is enough to go to prison to interrogate the crime, as long as he can be imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department. We can check him out and pull out his fox tail. Luo Shixin asked Liu Yanke, Liu Yanke is experienced in this area, and it is necessary to ask for his opinion.

Liu Yanke pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, this method is a bit rushed, but it is also feasible. However, his current identity is sensitive, as the governor of Youzhou, he holds the military and political power of Youzhou. He is not the king of Lujiang, and he has extremely strong military ability, which makes him detect something strange and make waves, but the situation is not good. He should be led to Chang'an to be captured, which can not only facilitate the control of Zhan, but also ensure the stability of Youzhou. โ€

"Makes sense!" Luo Shixin did not hesitate, went to the East Palace, and informed Li Shimin, who was extremely concerned about this matter, of the progress of the case.

Li Shimin listened to it and was silent for a while: Wang Junkuo is the general who has gone out in his hands, and he has made great contributions to him. In the battle of the Tiger Prison, he was able to immediately build a 100,000 Dou Dexia army with 3,500, and Wang Junkuo's personal contribution was incomparable. At that time, Wang Junkuo intercepted the grain and grass of the Xia army with 1,000 light cavalry, and captured Zhang Qingte, the general of the Xia army, forcing Dou Jiande to rush to war. And he took advantage of the flaws exposed by the rapid battle to establish the general trend of the Tang Dynasty dominating the world in one fell swoop. Later, because Wang Junkuo almost sold Luo Shixin, resulting in a bad relationship with Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, in order to maintain the harmony between his subordinates, he chose to release Wang Junkuo.

For Wang Junkuo, Li Shimin not only trusted him, but also had a certain amount of guilt, and he really didn't want to believe that he would instigate his father-in-law to rebel for the sake of merit, and also captured and killed his father-in-law. Originally, he just thought that Wang Junkuo had some selfish intentions in this incident and made certain mistakes, and if so, he would use the power of the prince of the prison country to save him.

But he never imagined that Wang Junkuo might be the mastermind behind the scenes......

"Wang Junkuo, you have disappointed me so much!" Li Shimin sighed, and agreed to Luo Shixin's mention with a little emotion.

Just when Li Shimin brought Wang Junkuo to Chang'an, Luo Shixin also received news from Ma Zhou.

Luo Shixin peeled off the cocoon and found Wang Junkuo's horse feet, and Ma Zhou also caught Wang Junkuo's horse feet. He didn't find out the problem of "Famous Ji Ti" for a while, but he caught the evidence that Wang Junkuo killed people and killed people.

Chu Yan, the prison officer of Youzhou, the executioner who interrogated Cui Dunli, was born as a butcher, his methods were ruthless, and he was notorious, but he was a well-known filial son, and he did everything in order to treat his mother, Wang Junkuo gave him a hundred years of ginseng in order to let Chu Yan give him his life.

Chu Yan was happy, and immediately handed over the ginseng to his colleague and asked him to help give it to his mother, and also roughly explained the origin of the ginseng.

Chu Yan asked Wang Junkuo to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, but he didn't know that there were still people in the world who knew what he had done......

Luo Shixin put down the letter in his hand, when the matter of Yin Ni and Chu Yan may not cure Wang Junkuo's great crime, the combination of these two things, supplemented by Cui Dunli's testimony, will form a chain of ironclad evidence.

Wang Junkuo, it's over. (To be continued......)
