On a winter afternoon, the light shines through the window lattice, and the government hall is full of color.

Li Xuan sat on the low couch, looking at the three notebooks in front of him, his eyes flashing slightly.

The aura of danger spread in an instant.

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and then a voice of the official said: "Lord Wang, Zhou Guogong has arrived." ”

"Please come in." Li Xuan raised his head, and the dangerous aura on his face disappeared without a trace in an instant, only a helpless wry smile on his face.

Wu Chengsi was dressed in a dark crimson official robe, and walked in from outside the door with a solemn face.

Seeing Li Xuan sitting there, Wu Chengsi took the lead in giving his hand: "Lord Wang! ”

Li Xuan stood up and returned the salute: "Zhou Guogong." ”

The recorder on the side had already sent the low couch in under Li Xuan's orders.

"You may be seated." Li Xuan stretched out his hand, Wu Chengsi nodded slightly, and then sat down with Li Xuan.

Li Xuan pushed the three recitals on the table in front of him forward, raised his head, looked at Wu Chengsi with a solemn face, and said, "Zhou Guogong should know the content of these three recitals. ”

Wu Chengsi's gaze fell on the three cantas, which were from the East Palace, the secret guard, and the Zhou State Mansion.

Stretching out his hand and pressing on Di Renjie's notebook, Wu Chengsi said with a low face: "Presumably, that Di Yushi didn't say many good things about Cheng Hei. ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Qianniuwei rushed into the Zhou Guogong Mansion, and the three doormen and five guards in the mansion have committed suicide; In addition, the eyeliner who was stopped in other places also committed suicide at the same time, Zhou Guogong, this situation is not good! ”

Wu Chenghei's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "Lord Wang, please believe that this matter really has nothing to do with Chenghei." ”

"Then ask Guogong to tell Xuan what the origin of these people is, why they stay in the mansion, and they can also use the resources of the mansion to come and go at will without hindrance."

Li Xuan faced each other, stared at Wu Chenghe, and asked, "Guogong, Xuan needs an explanation, the prime ministers need an explanation, and Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven also need an explanation." ”

"Those people ......" Wu Chengsi hesitated a little, he glanced up at Li Xuan, and saw Li Xuan sitting there with a worried face, but only with a worried face, without much movement.

Shaking his head, Wu Chengsi opened his mouth and said: "Those people were actually Li Jingye's subordinates, but after he left the capital, he threw himself into the Chenghei Mansion...... Originally, the heirs just asked them to pay attention to the movements of the two cities, but who knew that they had other plans. ”

With a light sigh, Wu Chengsi lightly pushed everything on Li Jingye, who was demoted for 2,000 miles.

Poor Li Jingye.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "It is not difficult to confirm this matter, the British Duke is in Chang'an, and there are still one or two cronies. ”

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, and then his face became solemn.

Li Xuan then pushed the other two recitals in front of Wu Chenghe, and then said: "Of these two recitals, one of them was played by the East Palace, and the East Palace found out a deputy chief of the inner chamberlain, who admitted that he was instructed by the Duke of Guo......"

"It can't be." Wu Chengsi stood up suddenly, stared at the concert, and said loudly: "No matter how bold Chengsi is, he doesn't dare to spy on the East Palace. ”

One yard to one yard, even if Wu Chengsi wants to calculate Li Xian, he will definitely not expose himself, let alone admit to watching the East Palace.

You even dare to watch in the East Palace, so in the entire Chang'an, who else does you dare not watch.

"It's not difficult to do this, after a while, the prince and the man can meet each other, and the man has now been taken outside the palace." Li Xuan calmly put the piece aside.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Wu Chengsi breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Because he knew that the person found out by the East Palace had nothing to do with him.

He did once spy on the East Palace, but he had his own methods.

It's definitely not this kind of means of bribing the palace attendants, it's too taboo.

Li Xuan smiled, then put the third notebook in front of Wu Chenghe, and then said softly: "This one is from Lijingmen." ”

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a gloomy face: "This piece of music will not say that Chenghei interfered with the secret guards, right?" ”

"The matter of the secret guard is the conclusion reached by the author Lang and the criminal department Shangshu at the same time." Li Xuan looked up at Wu Chengsi and said calmly: "The two of them played at the same time, saying that they had found a deputy commander in the secret guard and had taken refuge in Zhou Guogong...... But alas, the man died. ”

Wu Chengsi's face instantly turned ugly and terrifying, he gritted his teeth and said, "Those two bastards, what do they want to do?" ”

The two bastards, of course, are talking about Yuan Wanqing and Pei Yan.

These two people, as well as Wu Chenghei, are all close associates of Empress Wu.

Even before, the three had worked together more than once.

But now, Wu Chengsi was directly pushed out by two people and regarded as the culprit of the infiltration of the secret guards.

It's the easiest explanation to believe.

Empress Wu is in charge of the secret guard, and Wu Chenghei, as his nephew, interferes in the affairs of the secret guard, which is a normal thing.

But this kind of meddling is definitely not allowed by the regulations of the imperial court.

It would be fine if no one paid attention to it, but now this situation, once it is found out, Wu Chengsi will immediately fall into a lot of trouble.

And the most important thing is that the person who was found out has been wiped out.

"Zhou Guogong, how do you explain this matter." Li Xuan calmly raised his head and looked at Wu Chenghe, this matter was even more troublesome than the incident in the East Palace.

In the matter of the East Palace, Wu Chengsi was only watching the crown prince, but in the matter of secret guards, Wu Chengsi was watching the rights of the queen of heaven and the emperor.

Wu Chengsi did not hesitate at all this time, immediately opened the notebook and read it word by word.

He looked very carefully, and it wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Wu Chengji breathed a sigh of relief.

He pushed the notebook directly towards Li Xuan, and then said unceremoniously: "I have no motive for this matter." ”

"No motive?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, he waited for a long time, but he didn't expect Wu Chengsi to give him a reason that he had no motive.

"Yes, the matter of the secret guard, related to the Guogong Mansion, has been told to the heir, and this person is definitely not this one, the heir has a need, and he will never look for this person, and besides, in this transcript, there is no evidence at all, only a sentence from a dead man, how can he be convicted." Wu Chengsi said, a sneer on his face.

Li Xuan's heart turned in an instant, could it be said that Pei Yan and Yuan Wanqing deliberately framed Wu Chenghei, but they did not put forward much evidence, the purpose was to make all this easily overthrown, so what were they covering up?

The content of the recital flowed through Li Xuan's heart like water.

Taoist.

The deputy commander of the secret guard was also a Taoist priest.

Li Xuan knew a little in his heart that these guys were afraid that they were using Wu Chengsi to eliminate dissidents, and then plant this risky crime on Wu Chengsi's head.

When Wu Chengsi figured this out, he immediately knew how to get away with it.

As for now, Wu Chenghei was just distracted by the prince's affairs, and he didn't understand the key for a while.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand, took back the book in front of Wu Chenghe, pressed it in his hand, and then sighed lightly and said: "If this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Guogong, then Pei Yan and Yuan Wanqing are taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and control the secret guards, this criminal department Shangshu is not so peaceful!" ”

Li Xuan's words, Wu Chengsi was stunned for a moment, and then his face became extremely ugly.

He and Pei Yan have not been dealing with each other for a day or two, they know enough and have a lot of calculations between each other.

A lot of times, although it doesn't hurt each other, it's enough to be disgusting.

It's the same at this time now, although Wu Chengsi is sure enough to get rid of the secret guard case, he is worried that after Pei Yan does it once, he will do it a second time, and even countless times in the future, which is what annoys him the most.

Not to mention, Pei Yan was still trying to infiltrate the power of the secret guards.

He is a criminal department book, infiltrating the right of the secret guard to do what.

With Wu Chenghe's understanding of Pei Yan, Pei Yan would definitely not miss such an opportunity.

"This damn guy." Wu Chengsi gritted his teeth and cursed Pei Yan hatefully.

"Okay, the case of the secret guard, Xuan will explain it to His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven here, but the case of the East Palace ......" Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The case found out in Dali Temple, there is too much evidence, that person and Zhou Guogong met and there were witnesses who saw it, and he still had the gift from Zhou Guogong on his hand, and the residual traces of his own writing......"

"Stuffing some unimportant small gifts into the palace attendants, and listening to some small things about the prince's mood, these are common things, not to mention the East Palace, even in the Daming Palace, how can there be such a thing, the prince should understand." Wu Chengsi looked at Li Xuan with a little dissatisfaction.

Li Xuan nodded calmly, and then spoke: "But, unfortunately, I caught up with this person who is indeed an outsider's spy, and now if you want to overturn the case, the best way is to find out who is behind this person. ”

Wu Chengsi's face turned ugly again.

Those who have the ability to do tricks and feet in the East Palace are not just ordinary people.

Such a character, while watching the East Palace, is even ready to frame others for the crime once it is discovered.

There are not many such people in the entire court.

Wu Chengsi gritted his teeth slightly, he already knew who was framing him.

……

Li Xuan calmly pushed the third book in front of Wu Chengsi, and then said softly: "The key is whether Zhou Guogong did the murder of Zhang Xiang." ”

Wu Chenghe's eyes suddenly fell on the third notebook, and his face couldn't help but turn white.

The third book was written by Di Renjie, but now, there is a note on it.

Li Xuan wrote only two words, dead man.

Shadow of the dead.

Don't look at Wu Chenghe, who tried every possible way to shirk Li Jingye, and the dead couldn't speak.

But this just proves another thing, those guys who committed suicide, their identity is the dead.

Even if they were originally Li Jingye's people, but in the hands of Wu Chenghe, they were already Wu Chenghe's people, Wu Chenghe's dead soldiers.

With these dead soldiers, killing people in Pingkangfang, and then plotting to kill the prime minister, everything is connected.

"This ......" Wu Chengji wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.

Li Xuan immediately understood that the one who was secretly calculating Zhang Wenqian was definitely Wu Chenghei.

It's not the prince, the prince just put a bait to lure the snake out of the hole.

It's not a secret guard, without the order of the queen of heaven, they don't dare to take action against the prime minister easily, especially now that it is Yuan Wanqing who manages the internal guard, he is just adding fuel to the fire.

The only one who bit this bait was Wu Chenghe.

It is even very likely that behind Wu Chenghe, there are still people instigating.

This guy has become a tool for everyone to use.

……

Li Xuan gently pushed the secret guard's recital in front of Wu Chenghe, and then said in a low voice: "Guogong, this case needs to have a conspiracy culprit, and Guogong is just being used by him."

As for who the culprit is, all kinds of evidence have been shown, and now it depends on what Guogong says. ”

Wu Chengsi looked at the book in front of him, and the word Taoist priest was getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
