Volume 1: Who Breaks Through the Void by the Stars Chapter 369 The Yin Fox Secretly Provokes the Heart Ape
"Finally gone"
On the Chunming Gate, Li Longji couldn't help but speak, and then he looked around vigilantly, and saw that the attendants around him were looking at each other, and none of them showed any strange expressions.
Li Longji breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.
I thought that I drew a three-foot sword at the beginning, took Gao Lishi, Wang Maozhong and others to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and successively punished Empress Wei and Princess Taiping, how high-spirited I was at that time. But in his twilight years, a Li Linfu, who was just a courtier promoted by himself, hung over his head like a boulder, making him tremble.
Li Linfu is jealous of Li Longji, and Li Longji is also jealous of Li Linfu.
But now that this boulder has finally moved, he will go to Liaodong, and it will be impossible for him to return to Chang'an in his lifetime. Li Linfu's self-exiled fate also made Li Longji unwilling to completely liquidate him, after all, the two have been working together for so many years, and since Li Linfu is knowledgeable, there is no need to kill them all.
His gaze turned to Yang Zhao again.
Yang Zhao under the city, with a joyful smile on the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, as if joy could flow out of his face. Li Longji shook his head slightly, this guy is still a little frivolous, but he is good at calculation, it is enough to have this advantage, anyway, to make money, Ye Chang.
His gaze stopped on Ye Chang, with deep regret in his heart.
He really admired Ye Chang, and he wanted to recruit Ye Chang as a concubine, but in order to appease Li Linfu, and in exchange for Li Linfu giving up his power, he had to give up this ideal concubine to Li Linfu.
Li Linfu also benefited from Ye Chang to be able to retreat in such a net profit, although Liaodong is remote, at least there, he can sleep a few reassuring nights.
"I heard that two days ago, Ye Chang broke Wang Zhun's leg?" He asked softly to the eunuch beside him.
Gao Lishi went to see off Li Linfu on his behalf, so the eunuch beside him lowered his head and did not dare to respond. Li Longji laughed, this Ye Chang is really going to do something.
Although Wang Zhun is a close minister, in his eyes, the value is like that, no different from Jia Chang, a cockfighting child, where can he compare to Ye Chang, who can bring him rolling wealth. Therefore, since the king did not file a public complaint, he did not bother to pay attention to the matter.
Just pretend not to know the way, sometimes, when you are the emperor, you have to pretend to be confused.
Wang Zhun Na, relying on his favor and his father's power, was indeed arrogant in Chang'an City, and even his son-in-law dared to bully him, and it was good for him to suffer a little setback......
But at this moment, Wang, who also sent Li Linfu, heard the words of a servant beside him, and his face changed color in shock.
He hurried to this side, and he didn't care about Li Longji's mood now, so he cried bitterly, and then bowed down in front of Chunming Gate.
Li Longji was looking around in the city, not noticing him, until the eunuch next to him reminded him, he leaned over in the city and said, "Wang Qing, what's the matter, get up and speak." β
"The minister is wronged, the son of the minister is wronged," the king cried and cried.
Li Longji raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart was a little crooked. Needless to say, he must have come to sue Ye Chang, it has been a few days since Wang Zhun was beaten, and at this time, Wang ran to complain, and he couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Oh? If you have any grievances, tell me about them. He said slowly.
"The minister's dog is also a close minister of His Majesty, but he was killed by Ye Chang, a dog thief, on the street, please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the minister"
Wang raised his head and pointed resentfully at Ye Chang, who was not far away, Ye Chang didn't know what was happening here, he was talking to someone, and suddenly found that the surroundings were quiet, and he looked at this with a little surprise
"What's going on, what's going on?" He asked.
"The king said that you killed his son Wang Zhun in the street...... Filing a lawsuit."
Ye Chang was stunned.
Wang is not a fool, Ye Chang is not a fool, a few days ago Ye Chang broke Wang Zhun's leg, not only did Wang not come to trouble him, but also sent someone to send a letter to him to make amends. For both parties, this was a temptation, Ye Chang got the result he wanted, and Wang also exchanged his son's two legs for Ye Chang's support to a certain extent.
But today, less than a moment after Li Linfu left Beijing, the situation changed abruptly
The tacit understanding between the two sides was torn up in an instant, and what led to all this was that Wang Zhun was killed on the street.
Obviously, someone did not want to reach peace between Ye Chang and Wang, and killed Wang Zhun.
Ye Chang turned his face and looked at Yang Zhao on the side, Yang Zhao's expression was calm, and he couldn't see anything famous on the surface. But in Ye Chang's heart, this guy has the biggest suspicion.
Whoever is most reluctant to see him and Wang go together, there is no doubt that it is Yang Zhao. If Ye and Wang join forces, Yang Zhao's status in the court will indeed be greatly threatened, not to mention that it is said that Wang and Chen Xilie have been very close recently.
"Ye Qing, come forward." When Li Longji heard that Wang Zhun had been killed, he was also very angry, and immediately ordered: "Wang Qing, you also come up." β
If it is seen by the people who watch the excitement, it will not only hurt the dignity of the court, but also damage the awe of the common people for the officials. Ye Chang and Wang Yiyan went to the city, Wang was in front and Ye Chang was behind, the two looked at each other, and the anger in Wang's eyes was completely ignited.
"Two days ago, the courtier argued with Ye Chang, was bullied by Ye Chang, and his legs were discounted...... The minister never thought that this person was so ambitious as a wolf, he was not satisfied with the leg and career of the minister, and he didn't feel enough to wipe the minister's face, so he ...... He actually killed the courtiers on the street, and now the courtiers are lying in the west market, and the grievances of the ministers are really unbearable, and they ask the saint to be the master. If the saint thinks that the minister's father and son deserve to die, then let Ye Chang kill the minister as well."
As he spoke, the king trembled, both angry and afraid.
It was nothing else, but killing people in the street, in the city of Chang'an, in broad daylight, killing an official in the street, and killing after slashing several followers
So arrogant, so domineering, so lawless
Li Longji calmed his face and turned to Ye Chang: "Ye Chang, do you have anything to say?" β
"The minister didn't know about it, and he didn't kill anyone." Ye Chang was also shocked in his heart, Yang Zhao did have some tricks, but this kind of killing people on the street, was he really doing it, he was not afraid that the assassin would be arrested and recruit him?
"You still deny it, didn't you break my son's leg that day?"
"I did it, I will never deny it, who is you, a cockfighting child, who dares to insult the ministers and the people, and ruin the name of the benevolence and righteousness of the Son of Heaven? And I cut off his leg as punishment for his sins, and I did not hide it, but I killed him today...... But I didn't do it."
"Who would it be if it wasn't you?" The king said sharply: "Sage, don't listen to his quibbles, torture his followers, you will be able to get the details."
"Ruzi's enemies are all over the capital, why are you holding me out?" Ye Chang was a little annoyed, he was calculated and not said, this king is not stupid, how can he still hold on to himself: "Your Majesty, if you want to find out who the murderer is, please find out who Wang Zhun has offended."
The faces of the people present were all different, Ye Chang had encircled half of the people in Chang'an City this time, Wang Zhun was rampant, it could really be said that the enemy family was half Chang'an, and there were definitely not a few people who were willing to take this opportunity to take his life, and even among the people present, there were so few. It's just that everyone knows this thing, and they can lift the bottom out like Ye Chang, but it makes everyone embarrassed.
"Ahem, according to what the minister has seen, this matter needs to be investigated in detail." After a while, under Li Longji's repeated glances, Chen Xilie coughed twice.
"What Chen Xiang said is that this matter needs to be examined in detail." Li Longji responded, and then sighed: "Wang Zhun is a close minister, don't be rude, when Gu is mourned, there is a division to discuss, bury him, and order Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin to investigate the case together." Wang Qing, you just have to rest assured, I will not let the murderer go unpunished, Ye Qing, don't worry, Wang Qing is heartbroken when he loses his son, it is inevitable that he will not choose his words, you must be able to understand him. β
Li Longji was in his mouth and mud, but he felt bored in his heart.
In addition to the real murderer, he is probably the one who has seen this matter most thoroughly.
Wang Yu was angry, Li Longji was kind and relieved, so he stopped scolding Ye Chang. Ye Chang's face was gloomy, looking up at the sky, this season, Chang'an is prone to thunderstorms at noon, and it was still sunny in the morning, but now it is full of dark clouds.
The thunder faintly came from a distance, and Li Longji ordered to drive back to the palace, and when he returned to Xingqing Palace, the raindrops had already crackled and dripped on the ground. He climbed the tall building, looked at the rain line outside the window, and let out a long sigh.
The little eunuchs who were on hand didn't dare to gasp loudly, only Gao Lishi also sighed.
"What are you sighing for?" Li Longji said dissatisfiedly: "You all have your own thoughts now, why can't you endure each other for the country?"
"The slave is sighing for the saint, the saint originally thought that everyone would be safe and stable, and we would enjoy this harmonious and prosperous world together, but some people are too selfish, and the volume is not enough for the saint to be painstaking" Gao Lishi whispered: "Slave and maid ......"
"You too," Li Longji interrupted him rudely.
At this time, even Colliers's face turned white, and he didn't dare to speak anymore. Li Longji looked at the rain again, and said for a while: "Wang Ming knows that Lu Dao was not done by Ye Chang, and what he wants is to use his son's death to win my sympathy. Ye Chang deliberately made a big deal out of the matter, and refused to give in half a sentence, obviously wanting to take advantage of this matter...... Wouldn't the person who killed Wang Zhun stir up a great chaos in my court, and he wouldn't be satisfied?"
In the last sentence, Li Longji shouted out.
When he got old, he rarely got angry, and it was real anger, not fake anger. The good mood brought by Li Linfu's resignation was all gone in an instant.
Gao Lishi hung his head and did not say anything to persuade him, at this time, even if Yang Yuhuan came, he was afraid that he would not be able to persuade Li Longji.
"Go and ask what it is." After a while, Li Longji said faintly: "I want to see what is going on."
"I just want to see what's going on, no one wants to calculate me, I don't know what to do." Ye Chang looked at the rain curtain that had been connected and said lightly.
"The murderer has fled, and now it's raining heavily, it's impossible to find others, where are the clues?" Du Fu sighed: "Listen to what Changran said just now, this is clearly deliberately aimed at you, this layout has few flaws, and it may be a headless public case at the end......"
"How can there be no flaws, not only do they have, but they are also very big, but it is true that they will definitely not be able to do it in the end." Ye Changdao.
He has been hesitating in his heart and summoned Du Fu not for nothing. Since you are going to run a newspaper, you have to make a reputation, what other news is more eye-catching than the death of Wang Zhun, the son of the Imperial Doctor and the commander of the guard?
It's just that the matter of Wang Zhun's death is very deep behind him, and he is still a little hesitant in his heart to what extent.
It is necessary to ensure that the citizens in Chang'an and Luoyang are willing to watch, and to ensure that the imperial court does not stare too closely, and the balance between this still needs to be explored.
I don't know if Du Fu can master this.
Originally, Ye Chang was distracted by Du Fu, although he admired the poet very much, but if the other party stood on the opposite side of him, he would not use his hot face to stick a cold ass because of the reputation left by the other party in history. But Li Bai's changes made Ye Chang realize that maybe Du Fu could also change, so when he decided to run the first newspaper in Datang in Chang'an, he thought of Du Fu.
"Do you want to publish this case in the newspaper?" Du Fu suddenly spoke.
"It's a bit difficult, headless and brainless ......" Du Fu perked up and asked Ye Chang what he thought, Ye Chang didn't hide his selfishness, and told him how to set up suspense and how to solve the mystery step by step. These eye-catching techniques in later generations are very fresh today, and Du Fu listens to them with relish.
Halfway through Ye Chang's words, someone suddenly came in from the rain, Du Fu only felt that this person looked extremely ordinary, but it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry.
"How's it going?" Ye Chang asked.
"It was a doorman who instigated Wang Zhun to go out, and the doorman was already dead, and after the assassin killed Wang Zhun, he killed him again, and then he left." That's humane.
Du Fu only felt terrified, he was not cowardly, but the hidden mystery of this matter made him vaguely smell the smell of blood and rain.
"As I expected, Wang Zhun, who broke his leg, is not recuperating from his injuries at home, how can a good person go out and block the assassin?" A smile appeared on Ye Chang's face: "Next, you check who the guest has been in contact with in the past few days, the assassin wants to kill people, but he doesn't know that this has left him with more flaws."
"Yes." The man answered, turned and walked out again, and soon disappeared into the rain.
Du Fu looked at the figure of the man and felt a chill again. It is natural for Ye Chang to have such a character under him, as a frontier commander, it is strange that he does not have such subordinates. But to bring such subordinates into Chang'an City...... What does Ye Chang want to bring him for?
Could it be that if someone else hadn't made the first move, Ye Chang himself would have really killed Wang Zhun who dared to humiliate him?
