East Palace.

Seeing Wei Ting walk in, Wang Qi hurriedly asked, "How is the matter?" ”

Wei Ting said with a smile: "Jing Zhaoyin searched out the incriminating evidence we prepared from Liu's mansion, and His Majesty also ordered Jing Zhaoyin to interrogate Liu Wenjing, and things went well." ”

Hearing this, Wang Jue relieved himself: "It's good that things are going well, Dai Dalang is in prison, and the Hu family must be optimistic, lest she do bad things." ”

"I know." Wei Ting said.

The next moment, Wang Jue's heart rose again: "Your Royal Highness once told me that the reason why Liu Wenjing was able to avoid the death penalty last time and came out of prison unharmed was because of Princess Jinyang.

"This time, we must not let Princess Jinyang ruin our good deeds again."

Wei Ting's face changed: "Princess Jinyang was grounded, but Your Majesty didn't say it explicitly, if Princess Jinyang had to leave the house, Your Majesty wouldn't blame her."

"No, I'm going to take someone to stop Princess Jinyang."

Wang Qi urged him: "Okay, you go quickly." ”

Wei Ting immediately went to gather people and went to Princess Jinyang's mansion, but it didn't take long for him to come back again.

"I found Duke Xun outside Princess Jinyang's mansion, he led people to surround Princess Jinyang's mansion, but they hid in the shadows and did not show up."

Xun Guogong? Qian Jiulong.

Wang Jue's eyes lit up: "Duke Xun Guogong is His Majesty's henchman, without His Majesty's instructions, he will never dare to surround Princess Jinyang's Mansion."

"It seems that Your Majesty also has the intention to eradicate Liu Wenjing, you can withdraw the people, so as not to be discovered and suspicious by Your Majesty."

"Okay, I'll call them back." Wei Ting turned around and left.

......

Liu Wenjing was arrested, Liu's mansion was blocked, and the matter soon spread throughout Chang'an City.

This time, Li Shimin went on an expedition and took away most of the generals and staff of the Qin Palace, leaving only the eldest grandson Wuji and a few others.

When the eldest grandson Wuji learned the news of Liu Wenjing's arrest, he immediately sent someone to inquire.

Soon, his subordinates reported: "I heard that the killers caught by Jing Zhaoyin two days ago confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, and this person is Liu Shangshu."

"Two hours ago, Jing Zhaoyin took people to Liu's mansion, and it is said that he found evidence of Liu Shangshu's rebellion."

Assassination? Conspiracy?

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned deeply, first of all, it was impossible for Liu Wenjing to rebel.

Secondly, Liu Wenjing and Lin Zhiwu have no grievances or hatred, and it is impossible to send a killer to kill Lin Zhiwu.

All this must have been framed by someone.

The eldest grandson Wuji first thought of Pei Lian, because Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin were mortal enemies, Pei Lin couldn't wait to kill Liu Wenjing, he had the most motives.

Of course, there is another person who also has a motive, and that is the crown prince.

Liu Wenjing is King Qin's most powerful helper in the court, and if Liu Wenjing dies, King Qin's influence in the court will be greatly weakened.

At that time, it will be much more difficult for King Qin to do something.

Therefore, Liu Wenjing can't die.

"Go and prepare the car, I'm going to leave the house."

The eldest grandson Wuji went to the Yin Mansion first.

As soon as he entered the hall, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Yin Shangshu, Liu Shangshu's matter, you must already know about it, right?" ”

"I know it all." Yin Kaishan beckoned the eldest grandson Wuji to sit down, and beckoned him to drink tea.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't drink the cup in his hand, and his face was full of anxiety: "Then do you know what evidence Jing Zhaoyin found from Liu's mansion?" ”

Yin Kaishan was also very anxious, he shook his head: "Your Majesty has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to inquire into this case, except for Your Majesty and Jing Zhaoyin, no one knows what the evidence is."

"What we know now is that those killers have pointed out that Liu Shangshu was the mastermind behind the assassination of Pingnanhou, and the evidence that Jing Zhaoyin searched from Liu's mansion pointed to Liu Shangshu's rebellion."

"yes." The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "Now, all the evidence is very unfavorable to Liu Shangshu, but I believe that Liu Shangshu will never rebel and will not kill Nanhou." ”

"It's useless for you to believe it, you have to believe it in Your Majesty." Yin Kaishan Road.

The two fell silent.

"For the sake of today, we can only stall for time."

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said: "We can't let Jing Zhaoyin convict Liu Shangshu like this, we must buy enough time to find evidence to prove Liu Shangshu's innocence." ”

Yin Kaishan saw that he had an idea, so he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji replied: "Liu Shangshu is the founder of the country, and he has repeatedly made military exploits, and this case must be tried by the three divisions before he can be convicted."

"I would like to ask you and Xiao Shangshu to propose to Your Majesty that this case will be handled by the Third Division, so that it can not only delay time, but also help Liu Shangshu win a fair review opportunity."

Yin Kaishan felt that his words were very reasonable, got up and said, "Okay, then I'll go now." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji left the Yin Mansion with Yin Kaishan, Yin Kaishan went to find Xiao Yu, and the eldest grandson Wuji went to find a few ministers who were close to the Qin Palace.

......

On the second day of the court meeting, Xiao Yu proposed: "Your Majesty, Liu Shangshu is the founder of the country, and he has fought everywhere, and he has worked hard, and now he is accused of hiring a murderer, and he should be handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai for trial to find out the truth." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yu Wenshi echoed: "Liu Shangshu was wronged once four years ago, and now it is the case, if the case is hastily closed, it will chill the hearts of the ministers."

"The three divisions will be able to ascertain the truth."

Then, the Qin Wang Party echoed one after another: "Please Your Majesty hand over this case to the three divisions for trial and find out the truth." ”

The princelings' party does not oppose or support it.

Against, they have no reason.

Yes, they don't want to do it.

So, Li Yuan agreed, transferred Liu Wenjing to the Third Division, and ordered Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and Yushi Zhongcheng to jointly try it.

......

On the morning of this day, Wei Ping, as usual, went out of Princess Jinyang's mansion to prepare to purchase today's ingredients.

Unexpectedly, not far from the door, he was stopped.

"Your Majesty has decreed that during the period of the grounding of Princess Jinyang, no one from the princess's mansion is allowed to go out."

Wei Ping was stunned, the princess had been grounded for several days, why didn't anyone stop her a few days ago, but someone stopped her today?

He took a closer look at the token in the man's hand, and it was indeed the token of the Praetorian Guard.

However, he did not move: "I am going to buy ingredients, if I don't go, the princess will be hungry." ”

"Your Majesty has ordered, we will send ingredients to the princess's mansion every day." After saying that, the Praetorian Guard beckoned, and immediately someone came over with a few carts of ingredients.

Wei Ping: "......"

In desperation, Wei Ping had no choice but to ask them to send the ingredients to the princess's mansion.

After Wei Ping left, Qian Jiulong came out of the shadows.

The Praetorian Guards immediately greeted him: "Grandpa Guo, we have been exposed, what should we do?" ”

"It's okay." Qian Jiulong was very calm.

He had already thought of a strategy to deal with Princess Jinyang.

After Wei Ping arranged the ingredients, he went to the main courtyard: "Princess, Your Majesty has sent the Praetorian Guard to take care of you." ”

"What do you mean?" Wang Yu raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid I'll go out, so you sent someone to watch me?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty said that during your lockdown, the people of the Princess's Mansion cannot go out."

Since she agreed, she would not leave the house without being white, and she would definitely be able to do it.

Li Yuan didn't believe her because he did this, right?

Wang Yu was a little angry and ordered: "Call the leader of the Praetorian Guard to me......"
