Chapter 694: Reluctant to compromise, losing troops and losing generals

The Son of Heaven didn't know that Chen Xiang was actually in a hurry at this time.

Just as Yu Feng inferred, when Wu Ji died, Li and Zhang could not escape the fate of extinguishing the mouth, and the case was hastily concluded because there was no real evidence, but Wei Guogong was speechless, Chen Xiang arranged for the martial artists in the house to keep an eye on them in the morning, and killed people when the night was dark and the wind was high.

The reason why Li and Zhang left Kyoto temporarily was to ensure that they would not be imprisoned by the government, so that it would be difficult to start.

Of course, it is impossible for the two of them to go away, Zhang Minghe also has commercial property in Xianghe, so he naturally proposed that Uncle Li go to live in another garden with him.

And what Chen Xiang pondered was that since it was going to cause Wei Guogong to authorize Li and Zhang to kill people, then it means that Wei Guogong should trust these two people, it is impossible to kill his in-laws for no reason, the young man was caught, Zhang Minghe could not escape the blame, if he died suddenly, how could others believe that Wei Guogong was innocent? Then, only when the case is transferred to the Criminal Department, Lu Ze has a clear understanding of everything, and forces the murderer to confess the mastermind, and the governor of the country is helpless, and the only way to kill the accomplice is to eliminate the accomplice, so that he cannot implement the crime of collusion with him, which is reasonable.

Therefore, the best time to extinguish the mouth can only be last night.

Li Gui and Zhang Minghe are both commoners, even if Zhang Minghe is a little rich, it is impossible to have the pomp and circumstance of the aristocratic officials, there will be no guards in the mansion, and the mansion in Xianghe is not too large-scale, at most there are more than ten servants, a few maids, Chen Xiang feels no pressure, and thinks that the martial artists in the mansion are capable enough, and there is no need to ask the Son of Heaven for help at all, and use secret guards to kill.

In fact, the Son of Heaven didn't feel that he needed to arrange it personally to deal with the two commoners.

Although there are dead soldiers in this world, but these people are not ordinary nobles can be raised on a large scale - although some people die for wealth, birds die for food, but there are very few people who can really give up their lives for money, and those who become dead soldiers are mostly serious offenders, once they are caught, they are forced to be helpless, or they want to fight for the future to get rid of their crimes, or they have relatives and eldest children who need to be supported, so they will take risks.

It is impossible for Chen Xiang to raise dead soldiers, as a subject, it is a violation of the law of the country to raise dead soldiers, and the Son of Heaven will not agree.

In order to seek a big position when the Son of Heaven was in the palace, of course, he raised a group, but now that he has ascended the throne, these dead soldiers can turn the darkness into the light and become the henchmen of the Son of Heaven, and most of them become secret guards, in case the Son of Heaven "needs from time to time", and there is no need to hide his identity.

It is also impossible to use it easily.

That is to say, the people who Chen Xiang arranged to go to Xianghe to exterminate the mouth are all registered, and it is impossible for all of them to sacrifice their lives to die, once they are caught and tortured to extract confessions, there will be people who confess to the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if these people do not confess, they will be tracked down by Lu Ze to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Chen Xiang didn't think that his action would fail at all, that a well-trained martial artist would not be able to deal with a group of ordinary servants, and that he would be able to let Li and Zhang escape with their lives.

On this morning, Chen Xiang was still at ease, but when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and learned that none of the people sent had returned, and even the henchmen sent to supervise there was no trace, he became apprehensive, and waited for a while, but still did not wait for any news, so he planned to enter the palace to tell the Son of Heaven that something had changed.

At this time, Li and Zhang had already been mentioned in the Ci'an Palace, and the "belated" Duke Wei Guo was not only questioned for a long time, but was not even allowed to enter, and the Son of Heaven obviously had no time to deal with him, and Wei Zhao was very sorry to convey the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven to cancel the edict.

Wei Guogong also returned to the Beijing Health Division like a nobody, and when he left Zhengyangmen, he saw Chen Xiang coming in a cold sweat, and the two of them even said a few polite words, although one was calm and relaxed, and the other was absent-minded.

Chen Xiang heard that Wei Guogong had been edicted, but he did not see the holy driver, and he also knew that something had changed, and the cold sweat was even more surging.

In Ci'an Palace, Li and Zhang, who had just escaped death, were also frightened, prostrate below, only the corners of their clothes and skirts in their sight, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes.

Zhang Minghe was calm in his heart, but he had to pretend.

Uncle Li is really unrelenting - last night's dangerous experience completely shattered his dream of being a knight, thinking that even if he escapes with his life, Chen Xiang and Wei Guogong are afraid that they will not be able to let him go, not to mention glory and wealth, maybe in the end it will still be difficult to protect his life, and all thoughts will be disillusioned for a while.

Zhang Minghe is still a little calm, and analyzes with Uncle Li: "Chen Xiang must have been instructed by the saint, we have ten heads, and we dare not confess him, of course, we can't admit to killing people and causing trouble, and offending the empress dowager is also a dead end. ”

So, at this time, the two prostrate on the ground were shouting that they were wronged, gritting their teeth and denying that they instructed the Maiko to seduce Wu Ji, and instructed the murderer to poison him, only claiming that he went to Xianghe for business and was assassinated by someone in danger.

The Son of Heaven was relieved, but he also knew that even if Li and Zhang did not confess, the "killers" who were trapped in the criminal department would be a problem.

At this time, Li and Zhang refused to admit their guilt, and the young man was bound to be punished again, and this henchman was afraid that he would not be able to save it.

Sure enough, as soon as the impatient Empress Dowager asked the eunuchs to take Li and Zhang away, Lu Shangshu sent people to pass through, and the murderer touched the wall and died.

There is no need for the eldest princess and Yijing to say more than two words, and the empress dowager sneered: "It's really amazing, the murderer couldn't stand the heavy punishment at first, Lu Ze was able to ask him about the mastermind behind the scenes, and now that the murderer is forced to ask again, he has the determination to die, not afraid of death but afraid of pain, this murderer is really different." ”

The Son of Heaven clenched his fists, his eyebrows furrowed.

Of course, the Empress Dowager's heart lit up at this time, and the look of the Son of Heaven had already explained everything.

"Grandmother, in my opinion, Wei Guogong is really innocent, Yongchanghou is even more innocent, and Tingyi was also framed." The Son of Heaven got up: "I plan to personally interrogate that gang of murderers and torture them by whom they were instigated. ”

Of course, this is the Son of Heaven hinting at a "compromise" - this matter ends here, the two cases of "corruption and perversion of the law" and "bullying others" are also concluded according to the "trapping and filth", and Ci'an Palace does not need to pursue the Wu Ji case again, under the personal trial of the Son of Heaven, of course, those murderers will be severely punished and killed, and the mastermind behind it is confusing.

The Son of Heaven indirectly admitted that he planned this matter.

Because even if he doesn't admit it, the Empress Dowager really wants to investigate it, and she will find out the culprit Chen Xiang.

The Empress Dowager took a deep look at the Son of Heaven and did not object.

She didn't want to have too much dispute with the Son of Heaven at this time, compared to unforgiving investigation, it was best to calm things down.

But the Empress Dowager naturally has resentment in her heart, no one likes to be framed by calculations, not to mention that person is still her own grandson.

Things have come to this point, everything is in Yu Feng's plan, and this game is a small victory, but this level alone is naturally not enough to make Ci'an Palace determined to abolish the position.

Once the farce came to an end, Li and Zhang did not detain the criminal department again, and were able to return home, Zhang Minghe was "carefree", but Uncle Li was very worried, a night of thrilling, and hurried in the morning, but at noon he had no appetite to eat, Wei Guogong suddenly came to visit and made a suggestion to let Uncle Li go back to his ancestral hometown, make a living from farming, and never set foot in Jinyang again for the rest of his life, he can at least be able to live in Uncle Poly.

Uncle Li didn't have any dissatisfaction, he breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't even want to delay Jinyang for half a day, so he only explained to Grandma Li, and then packed his bags and slipped away like a lost dog.

And in the afternoon of this day, Huang also got a piece of news that made her irritable - Aunt Zhang was coming back again.

On the surface, it is said that the marriage of Banniang is approaching, but how can the Huang family not know about the Wu case, seeing that Zhang Minghe is safe and sound, and Aunt Zhang "salted fish turned over", she immediately thought that something had changed.

The calculation failed, and the Huang family gritted her teeth, but she just admonished the Queen Mother in this incident, and did not interfere too much, and it was hidden in the dark.

In Ci'an Palace, of course, the Empress Dowager tried her best to keep the eldest princess for dinner, and after the meal, the beautiful scenery said goodbye, and the Empress Dowager still did not magnify the eldest princess out of the palace, and took this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with this sister-in-law and cousin, and completely untie the knot.

"I know that Shangyuan is upset for the sake of Liuniang, but Shangyuan, I really didn't do anything to persecute the six girls, and with today's incident, I also completely understand that this incident is nothing more than to instigate us to make trouble." The Empress Dowager's attitude was very sincere.

The eldest princess was no longer as lukewarm as last time, and patted the queen mother's knee: "The fifth sister-in-law also underestimated me too much, how could I really think that you are duplicitous?" is the sixth girl, don't look at her young age and a boudoir daughter, she also understands it very well, she has long seen that the two things of Geng Tie and the rumors are someone who wants to instigate the contradiction, the reason why she agreed to marry the Chen family is also to plan the plan, and sure enough, it led to today's incident. ”

The Empress Dowager was surprised: "I'm puzzled, how could the six girls be reluctant, but for this." ”

"I don't hide it from my fifth sister-in-law, my eldest daughter-in-law is really ill-intentioned, and she matched this marriage in a blind way, and the sixth girl is her own child, and she is not so resistant to Liulang, so she had the idea of compromise early on." The eldest princess sighed.

"The six girls don't contradict Liulang?" The Empress Dowager was even more surprised.

The eldest princess smiled bitterly: "My granddaughters, the six girls are the most silent, but her vision is not worldly, she told her fifth sister, Liulang never forgets the red clothes, and he is also affectionate and sexual, and he should not be criticized and ridiculed by the world, and he is better than those hypocrites who are full of swears and swears...... Even though she said that, I always minded it in my heart, and I really didn't like Rokuro. ”

The Empress Dowager bowed her head to show understanding.

"A few days ago, the Chen family had a small decision, and Mrs. Chen escorted Liulang to Yuanying Hall to pay a visit, thinking that she wanted Liulang to admit the absurdity and mistakes in front of me, and promised to treat the six girls well, so that I could rest assured, I looked at it coldly, Liulang behaved in moderation, but it was really different from those gentlemen, so I asked him directly if he still remembered the red clothes and did not want to marry someone else." The eldest princess snorted lightly: "Mrs. Chen was shocked by my question, she was worried and full of warnings, she was afraid that Liulang would say something foolish, no wonder she was not at ease as a mother, that kid is really stubborn." ”

The Empress Dowager also raised half of her heart: "What did Liulang say?" ”

"Saying that he doesn't dare to disobey your will, and he can't disobey his parents' orders anymore, but he admits that he still can't forget the nostalgia, it's really difficult to be single-minded to Liuniang, but there will be no offense again, and he will respect his wife in the future." The eldest princess snorted again.

"This bastard." The Empress Dowager hated iron and steel: "Still obsessed." ”

"It's honest all the time, and I understand that it's a big mistake to treat Jane like that, not useless." The eldest princess sighed: "The sixth girl is willing, this matter has been settled, what else can I do?" I always hope that the days will go by, and these two children will be harmonious in the future, as long as Liulang can really respect Liuniang as he said, I don't bother to mention his past mistakes. ”

The eldest princess changed her words again: "The life case in the Twilight Pavilion was announced, and I heard that Li Gui and Zhang Minghe went to Xianghe, I was very uneasy, and Da Lang also arranged for people to secretly watch over him, and I saw that someone wanted to kill the two of them, and the fifth sister-in-law should also know that there are not so many coincidences, and the rescue of the old department on the way to the report is a statement, in fact, Xun'er led people to stop the extermination." ”

The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth: "Shangyuan will not explain this matter, if I still have doubts, then I will really become an old dizzy!" The saint was instigated by the faithful ministers...... she sighed: "He is the Son of Heaven and my own grandson, can I still not forgive?" I only hope that the saint can detect the greed of Chen and Qin, and be loyal and upright. ”

The eldest princess naturally won't be entangled anymore, and nodded: "The saint has not been on the throne for a long time, and she is young and impetuous, and the fifth sister-in-law has to guide slowly." This shows that the Patriotic Mansion will also be tight-lipped.

So the Wu case was cracked - the murderer was bribed, intending to blame the Weiguo Mansion, and then committed suicide in fear of the crime, Li and Zhang were also innocent, and the Weiguo Gong was even more innocent, but the mastermind behind it was not exposed because all the criminals "resisted death and did not confess", and the case was concluded, but the truth was "confusing".
