A large red lacquer box was opened, and the clothes inside were very messy, but most of them were women's clothes.

However, many of the clothes have been taken.

"What is this place?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie immediately bowed his hand and said: "Back to the prince, this is the place where Liu Shenjun used to house the outer room, it is rumored that the person who lives here on weekdays is a woman named Ling'er.

According to the investigation of the lower officials, this Ling'er, from Lizheng Yuan in Pingkangfang, was bought by Liu Senjun half a year ago and accepted as an outer room. ”

"Brother Huaiying's methods are really good, this king has just put the suspect on the body of Jin Wuwei Zhu Cao to join the army, and Brother Huaiying has already found out the person." Li Xuan sighed with emotion, and at the same time turned his head to look at Ma Zongji on the side, and glanced slightly.

Ma Zongji immediately suddenly turned his head to look at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie arched his hand and said: "According to the instructions of the prince, the lower official went to Jinggongfang to investigate, and found the place where the left Xiaowei Zhonglang general and the right guard Zhonglang general had a private meeting in a Keju field in the inner middle, but the two were very cautious, and the rooms were not very close, but under the pressure of the lower official, the guys in the Keju field still took the lower official to find the place of the two of them, and that place was under the name of Liu Shenjun. ”

Di Renjie's words were very calm, but he was able to lock the position in such a short period of time, and Di Renjie's "forced questioning" was not so simple.

Li Xuan turned his head to look at the corpse on the bed, shook his head, and sighed: "He is too careless, he shouldn't appear in that kind of place." ”

"Your Majesty, there are many nobles and relatives in that Keju field, Liu Senjun is not conspicuous there, and with him, the left Xiaowei Zhonglang and the right Wei Zhonglang can rest assured." Di Renjie hesitated slightly, but still opened his mouth to guess.

"Yes, only his identity can be reassuring." Li Xuan sighed softly.

Liu Guangye's grandfather, Liu Linfu, was an important minister of the founding of the country and a squire in the household department.

Liu Linfu has two sons, the eldest son Liu Xiangdao, in the early years of the Yongwang Mansion Changshi, later served as the criminal department of Shangshu, Ping Zhangshi, the right prime minister, organized Mount Tai Feng Chan, into the Jue Guangping County Gong, Qianfeng passed away in the second year.

Liu Linfu's second son, Liu Yingdao, Zhenguan for eight years, Queen Taimu Bang Lang out of office, moved the prince to the general affairs of the people, and then married the second daughter of the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, the county lord Li Wanshun as his wife, and now serves as the minister Langzhong.

In the first year of Longshuo, Li Wanshun, the lord of Wenxi County, passed away at the age of forty.

The county lord of Wenxi has four sons, Liu Xianchen, Liu Guangye, Liu Youxian, and Liu Lingzhi.

Now this is the second son Liu Guangye.

……

"The Liu family has always been cautious in doing things, not to mention that it has been fifteen years since the death of the county lord of Wenxi, how could he be involved in this kind of thing, Brother Huaiying, do you think he was drunk by someone, and then sent to Bai Aya?" Li Xuan looked around and said with a cold gaze: "And that Ling'er, why is she missing now?" ”

"Back to the prince, my subordinates have checked, after the door was closed last night, only people entered and no one went out, and since the door was opened today, no one has seen Ling'er's face, and the lower officials have ordered Ling'er to be wanted in the whole city." Di Renjie immediately returned the favor.

Li Xuan nodded, thought for a moment and said: "This king remembers that Brother Huaiying said that Ling'er is a person from Lizheng Yuan in Pingkang Fang, so now immediately send someone to seal Lizheng Yuan, and if you wait for people inside and outside, you will be sent to prison." ”

He Yiqiu on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, will it be too much?" ”

"It's just a brothel, let alone too many plants, not to mention that it's past the end of the day, and it's still a brothel, so any good person can be arrested." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Ma Sizong on the side, and arched his hand: "Zhonglang General, how about Zhonglang take a trip in this matter?" ”

"The lower officials obey the order." Ma Sizong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

This is a rare opportunity that Li Xuan has won for him, as long as he can catch Ling'er and ask about the relevant things from her mouth, then he and Jin Wuwei's guilt will be much lighter.

"When I was in Luoyang, the Tianyin Sect liked to use this method, and now that I think about it, there should be a lot of people who use this method, so this king suspects that this Liu is likely to be used by others." Li Xuan looked at Liu Guangye's corpse and couldn't help but shake his head.

Li Xuan's face was very sincere, but Di Renjie on the side keenly noticed that Li Xuan was trying his best not to let this matter climb deeper.

Di Renjie took a step forward and said seriously: "Lord Wang, maybe the matter in the Juju field, this Liu joined the army was used, but the internal and external news transmission is always inextricable, and I also ask the prince to allow the lower officials to enter Jinwuwei for investigation?" ”

Enter Jinwuwei to investigate, and the people of Dali Temple enter Jinwuwei to investigate.

Many of the Jinwu guards present stared at Li Xuan and Di Renjie at the same time, and their eyes were particularly unkind to Di Renjie.

Li Xuan took a light breath, and his expression was extremely solemn.

In fact, it is not difficult to enter the investigation of Jin Wuwei, nor is it a big deal, the real big thing is that after this matter is verified, the characters involved are too terrifying, and if you are not careful, it may cause turmoil in the clan.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door.

Yao Yi walked in quickly, and said to Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven has summoned you." ”

The faces of everyone present were solemn at the same time, involving the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, and the movements in the palace were even faster than people imagined.

The change of Xuanwu Gate, the hidden prince Li Jiancheng, has always been a royal taboo.

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Di Renjie and said: "Brother Huaiying, you first thoroughly investigate the cause of Liu Shenjun's death, check whether he was completely drunk before he died, if not, then please Brother Huaiying immediately go to the Jinwuwei Records Staff Officers' Office to investigate, if you are drunk, please also ask Brother Huaiying to go to Jinwu Prison to interrogate those female prostitutes, Ling'er's whereabouts must be found." ”

"The lower officials obey the order." Di Renjie immediately surrendered his hand.

Li Xuan turned around and left, riding quickly on his horse towards the palace, followed closely by Cui Ding with a team of people behind him.

Running all the way down the gallop, the crowd in front of him quickly dodged away.

Li Xuan didn't care about slowing down the horse at the moment, he was now thinking more about what the Empress Wu wanted to do when he asked him to go over.

The incident in front of him involved five characters, Ashina Nishulu, the grandson of the Turki Khan, Ashina Gana, the grandson of the Jieli Khan, Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Jiancheng, the prince of Yin.

The first two are nothing more than a matter of severity, the middle two are just reprimands at most, and the key is the last one.

One carelessness will end up with countless casualties.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, he had just solved the matter of Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan, but now there was a hidden prince Li Jiancheng.

That guy from the King of the East China Sea, hasn't his calculation been over yet?

……

"Xuan Nanchang County King sees the driver!" A green-robed attendant waved the dust in his hand, and his voice echoed in the square in front of the hall.

Li Xuan's face had already become solemn, and he arched his hand at the waiter in the green robe, and then walked into the Zichen Palace.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Xuan saw Pei Xingjian, the secretary of the military department, and Pei Yan, the secretary of the criminal department, standing solemnly in the hall.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over the two of them, and finally stood in the hall, and solemnly arched his hand: "The king of Nanchang County, the captain of the light car, the general doctor, Wuzhou don't drive, the inspector Zuo Jinwu Wei Zhonglang General, the inspector Honglu Temple Shaoqing Li Xuan, meet the queen of heaven, the queen of heaven Wanfu Jin'an." ”

"Nanchang Wang Pingshen!" The majestic voice of the Empress Wu came from above, and Li Xuan didn't dare to raise his head at all, but just listened to the order solemnly.

Immediately after, Empress Wu asked directly: "King Nanchang, how is the investigation of the internal affairs?" ”

Li Xuan immediately bowed his hand and said: "After returning to the heavens, the minister just locked Zuo Jin Wuwei Zhu Cao to join the army and the Zuo Street envoy today, however, Dali Temple Cheng Di Renjie has already found that Liu Guangye, who joined the army, died in the outer room, and the minister is investigating the cause of death, and preliminarily determined that he hanged himself, but whether he hanged himself or was killed by someone drunk, he is still investigating. ”

"Liu Guangye?" Empress Wu frowned, and said in a cold voice: "The son of Liu Yingdao in the Ministry of Langzhong, the grandson of Prince Yincheng?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan immediately gave up his hand, and said with a calm face: "According to investigation, General Zuo Xiaowei Zhonglang and General Right Wei Zhonglang have held secret meetings in Jinggongfang several times, although they have used various means to cover up, but according to verification, what they used is the wing room that Liu Shenjun has packaged. ”

"If the Eastern Turkic and Eastern Turks want to work together, they naturally need to be interviewed by the two." Empress Wu sneered, and saw through the secret behind this at a glance.

Although Jieli Khan and Tuli Khan are a pair of uncles and nephews, they have always wanted to put each other to death for many years, and although they were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty successively, the relationship between each other's descendants is still tense.

Even if someone secretly communicates and plans for the two of them, so that the two people can cooperate with each other at the same time, and even cooperate with each other to send troops after escaping back to the grassland, the mutual trust between them must be achieved by the two people in person.

There is no trust without meeting, and there is more than one such private meeting.

"Go, Liu Yingdao of the Ministry of Ministers entered the palace to see the driver, and, go and check, Liu Guangye has not been to Guangle Gate in recent years?" Empress Wu looked coldly to the side, behind the indigo gauze tent, the figure flashed: "Obey the order!" ”

The gauze tent subsided, Empress Wu retracted her gaze and looked at the Zichen Palace, whether it was Li Xuan or Pei Xingjian, Pei Yan all lowered his eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard.

Empress Wu's gaze fell on Li Xuan, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "King of Nanchang, do you think Liu Guangye is the King of the East China Sea?" ”

The grandson of Li Jiancheng, the hidden prince, does have the qualifications to call himself the king of the East China Sea.

Li Xuan took a deep breath and arched his hand seriously: "After returning to the Heavenly Queen, there are many signs that the biggest beneficiary behind this matter is Tubo, the Tubo national teacher Kumoro and the King of the East China Sea are both subordinates of the Tianyin Sect, and the two sides are connected through the Tianyin Sect, and the minister also hopes that Liu will join the army to be the King of the East China Sea, but his people are ...... The position is too low, the ability is mediocre, and the minister suspects that he is just a pawn to be used. ”

"He is not the king of the East China Sea, so who is the king of the East China Sea?" Empress Wu slapped the table in annoyance.

The sound of "snap" made the three people present startled, and then arched their hands at the same time: "The queen of heaven is angry." ”

Empress Wu waved her hand directly, signaling that the three of them didn't have to care.

At this time, Pei Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, suddenly stepped forward and said: "After enlightening the heavens, the minister impeached the king of Nanchang for lying about his military exploits!" ”

Li Xuan suddenly raised his head in great surprise and looked at Pei Yan, his eyes were full of incredulity, he didn't remember that he had offended Pei Yan!

A sneer flashed in Pei Xingjian's eyes on the side, who Pei Yan was, he knew best, when he saw the King of Nanchang appear, Pei Xingjian understood that Pei Yan had to attack the King of Nanchang and shift the responsibility.

……

"After the enlightenment of heaven, the battle of Muzhou, the king of Nanchang played the Tianyin Sect has been leveled, such as today the Yin Sect of the East China Sea King is still raging, the minister impeached the king of Nanchang failed to exterminate the Tianyin Sect, but lied that it was exterminated, and the crime should be punished according to the law." Pei Yan raised his head solemnly, and while his eyes looked at Empress Wu, his eyes swept over Li Xuan at the same time.

But at this moment, he found that whether it was Empress Wu or Li Xuan, his surprised face became calm in an instant.
