Chapter 6: Zhao Shirong, who ran away from home (third update)
After listening to Li Qianlian's question, Li Xingchen was silent for a moment, and was about to speak, but saw an old man walk in.
The old man was none other than Taifu.
Taifu came to Li Qianlian and said word by word: "Since they have found out your uncle, they can definitely find out all the people involved in this matter, unless you want to implicate yourself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the end." Otherwise, you'll have to give up on your uncle. When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic! Everyone wants to protect it, but in the end, no one can protect it. β
Li Qianlian listened, fell silent, and finally said: "I know, since this is the case, then give up my uncle, it's just that my grandmother ...... them."
Taifu said with a solemn face: "As long as your uncle admits all the things, when the time comes, you go and intercede with Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty not to involve your grandmother and others, and your grandmother and others will not be in danger of life." I will also arrange someone to intercede for your grandmother, you can rest assured of this! β
Li Qianlian still believes in Taifu's judgment very much.
So she nodded: "I know, thank you Taifu." β

When Xiao Yan returned to the Tianwuwei Mansion, she saw that although it was already late, the lights in the mansion were brightly lit and people came and went.
"What is this doing?" Xiao Yan asked.
Mu Feihan asked and whispered, "Di Zhan is interrogating Ji Yuan overnight." β
Remember https://m in a second.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and asked, "Hasn't it been all a day and a night?" He's still under trial, isn't he tired? β
Mu Feihan smiled, but didn't reply.
Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, and then said, "Let's go over and take a look!" β
Mu Feihan nodded.
Soon, they were in prison.
In the edict prison, Ji Yuan's cell was full of candles.
Burning candles illuminate the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Ji Yuan sat in the middle of the candles, looking very tired and dozing off all the time.
But he couldn't sleep at all.
His hair was braided and hung up, and when his head hung down slightly, the braid would be pulled and his scalp tingle.
And the candle in front of him was too bright and dazzling, which also made him unable to sleep at all.
"I'm so sleepy, let me sleep for a while." Ji Yuan said weakly.
Di Zhan didn't have the slightest emotion, and said indifferently: "Tell everything you know, explain the people behind the scenes, and naturally give you time to sleep." β
"There is no one behind the scenes, I told you, whether it is the incident of Dangyangpo or the incident of Mubei Wangfu, I did it! You can choose to kill me! But don't ask me again, no matter how many times I ask, that's all I can give. Ji Yuan said.
Di Zhan's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Since that's the case, then let's spend it!" See who can afford whom! β
Ji Yuan closed his eyes, although he still didn't fall asleep, he didn't speak anymore.
When Di Zhan saw Mu Feihan and Xiao Yan, his face was a little better.
"You're here?" Di Zhan's tone was also full of tiredness.
Xiao Yan nodded, glanced at Ji Yuan in the cell, and smiled.
This Di Zhan really has the means, and this Ji Yuan is really a hard bone.
"Let's go over there." Di Zhan said a word, and then led Mu Feihan and Xiao Yan to the side.
When she came to the torture room, Xiao Yan said, "Or do you have everything on yourself?" β
Di Zhan nodded with you: "Yes, I confessed to several things, saying that I did it alone, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." Even if the design made him think that no one could protect his family, he did not change his words. He was determined that this was the best thing for him and his family. β
Xiao Yan frowned, and her face was a little gloomy.
In fact, she could somewhat guess that it was Li Qianlian and Li Xingchen who instructed Ji Yuan.
It's just that she has no evidence at all, and, in this way, Li Qianlian and Li Xingchen have no motive.
Li Xingchen wants to move the Mubei Wangfu and the Zhennan Wangfu, that's for sure. But that should also be after his accession to the throne.
He made such a move before he ascended the throne, unless he was ten percent sure that after doing so, the Mu Beijun would fall into his hands, otherwise, he didn't need to do this at all.
"Has Mu Liu been tried?" Xiao Yan asked.
Di Zhan nodded, and then said, "Mu Liu has also been reviewed, but it is the same, and there is no gain. Mu Liu was determined that he just hated King Mubei, and he would be bewitched by Ji Yuan when he was confused for a while, and helped Ji Yuan put things into King Mubei's study. β
When Xiao Yan heard this, she frowned and whispered, "Then Mu Liu has anything to do with His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
Ji Yuan shook his head: "I've checked, and there is no intersection." β
"Mu Liu has very little to do with other people, he used to hardly go out and hardly interact with anyone." Mu Feihan said.
Xiao Yan pursed her lips and was silent.
If the prince's purpose was not to let Mu Liu master the Mu Northern Army, who would it be?
In her previous life, she didn't pay attention to these things, but now she regrets it a little.
It would be nice if in the previous life, she could take the initiative to understand these things.
At this time, Di Zhan said: "Xiao Yan, you ran all night to catch people back, and you are tired of coming, so go back and rest first." Mu Shizi, you haven't closed your eyes for a day and a night, go back and rest. I'll see what else I can do. β
Mu Feihan looked at Xiao Yan and said, "I'll send you back to rest." β
Xiao Yan nodded, and then walked out with Mu Feihan.
After walking a few steps, she paused, looked back at Di Zhan, and said, "If it is tomorrow morning, there is still no actual evidence to prove that there are other masterminds behind this matter, I am afraid that Your Majesty will let the case be closed, you must be mentally prepared." β
Di Zhan frowned, and then spoke: "Ji Yuan must have been directly involved in these two cases, and he is not unjust in paying for the lives of King Mubei and the soldiers." If Your Majesty asks me to close the case, let him close the case, and we can secretly track down the rest, it's okay! β
Mu Feihan listened and nodded.
Xiao Yan saw that the two of them could think about it, smiled, and said, "You can just know it in your hearts!" β
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Mu Feihan was also following her away.
After Di Zhan saw the two leave, he turned around and walked back, returning to the cell where Ji Yuan was being held.
The next day, in the morning, the emperor named Di Zhan to tell the facts of the case.
Everyone was shocked when they heard Di Zhan's account of the case, obviously they didn't expect that things would be like this.
The emperor was very calm, and then as Xiao Yan expected, he asked Di Zhan to close the case.
Di Zhan said that there are still many places worth digging into this case, and some officialdom may be cleared.
Li Chengqian directly asked Di Zhan if there was any evidence.
Di Zhan naturally has no evidence.
"Since there is no corroboration, don't guess, this case is over! Ji Yuan and Mu Liu involved in the case, how to deal with it, you just write a memo and submit it. As for the rest, look no further! Li Chengqian said.
When Di Zhan heard this, although he was dissatisfied and unwilling to close the case, he still replied respectfully: "The minister obeys the order!" β
After Di Zhan left the court, he came directly to Tianwuwei's mansion and met Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan was handling affairs at the table, when she saw Di Zhan hurriedly come in, put down the pen in her hand, looked at Di Zhan, and asked, "What's wrong?" β
"You're right, Your Majesty asked me to close the case!" Di Zhan said a little helplessly, then picked up the teacup on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it all.
He put down the cup before asking Xiao Yan: "Your Majesty asked me to fold, what do you think of Ji Yuan's family's disposition, how should I write it?" β
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth hooked, and she said: "Look at what you think, if you are not afraid of offending Li Qianlian, just write: Zhulian Nine Clans, all over the house." Anyway, Your Majesty won't agree! If you want to sell Li Qianlian's favor, you can write: If you don't have a family, you will be acquitted. Anyway, His Majesty will not be able to agree! β
The corners of Di Zhan's mouth twitched, and he said, "You mean that no matter what I write, it's useless?" β
Xiao Yan shook her head: "I mean, no matter how you write it, it's okay." β
Di Zhan thought for a while, and finally said: "Then write about the nine clans of Zhulian and behead them all over the house." I'd like to see who pleads with them! β
He has been in contact with Xiao Yan for so long, and he can also feel that Xiao Yan and Li Qianlian are in the same boat.
He has been running Tianwuwei recently, and he should have been beaten up with Xiao Yan a long time ago.
It's good to sell this to Li Qianlian, but it is probably useless.
It's better to use this twist and turn to see who is pleading for Ji Yuan's family. When the time comes, he can focus on these people.
Xiao Yan knew Di Zhan's thoughts, and said, "If you have such an idea, I'm afraid it won't work." Li Qianlian will definitely intercede, after all, it is her maternal grandfather's family, and the prince has a good relationship with Li Qianlian, so he will naturally intercede. The prince has pleaded, how can the prince's faction be indifferent? There are also a group of protΓ©gΓ©s of the crown prince and the prince, most of the people in the court, can they check one by one? β
Di Zhan was silent, he felt that what Xiao Yan said was very reasonable.
"And what do you suggest?" Di said.
The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth were slightly hooked, and she said: "It's better to write: the main culprit will be beheaded for public display, and the family will be exiled with tattoos, and the most important thing is to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervise and supervise the punishment to show the law!" β
Di Zhan listened to Xiao Yan's words and widened his eyes slightly: "Are you suspicious, His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
If it weren't for the suspicion of His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Yan wouldn't have mixed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in, right?
Xiao Yan just smiled and didn't say anything.
Di Zhan looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously for a while, didn't say anything else, and turned around and left directly.
Even if Xiao Yan really doubted the prince, it was impossible to say it directly.
He shouldn't have asked directly.
However, Xiao Yan gave him an idea.
