Lao Jianhua never dreamed that among the nemesis in his life, in addition to Shen Lie and Li Jiangyao, there was another little-known little person at this time - Ouyang Lin.

Speaking seriously, Lao Jianhua should know Ouyang Lin.

In that year, there was a case of rape of a people's daughter by the deputy lieutenant of the Xuanjia Legion in Luoyi, which directly alarmed the crown prince Li Bing. At that time, Lao Jianhua wanted to stabilize the relationship between the East Palace and the Xuanjia Army, so as to secretly promote the overall situation of the Turkic invasion, so he suggested that Xie Guang suppress his anger, give Li Bing a face, and let go of the insignificant patrol battalion officer.

If Lao Jianhua at that time could have predicted the future, just a few years later, Ouyang Lin, a small battalion officer who was released by him, would actually cause himself a lot of trouble, he would definitely not hesitate to let Xie Guang cut the other party, even if he turned his face on the spot with the crown prince Li Bing.

Right now, Lao Jianhua is in a state of unbeknownst to him, and his two most important chess pieces are all in Ouyang Lin's hands.

One Rui Ji, one Wei Zixuan.

Needless to say, Rui Ji said. Possessed by a declining god and unlucky, she was inexplicably placed under house arrest in the Imperial City Guard by the forbidden army Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and every day there were seven or eight armed guards by her side who were on high alert and strictly guarded. It's hard to escape.

Ouyang Lin was really calm, as if he had forgotten Rui Ji, and left people there and ignored them, so that Rui Ji could only think crankily all day long, but there was nothing to do.

It's no wonder that Lord Ouyang's thoughts at the moment are all used on Lao Jianhua's other chess piece, Wei Zixuan, so he doesn't care about Rui Ji at all.

With the in-depth development of the secret investigation, various suspicious points related to Shang Shu's left servant shooting Wei Zixuan are gradually emerging.

As Li Jiangyao said to Li Xi before, the rebel traitor wasp is actually far from being perfect to the point where it is impossible to find out. The key is whether the emperor really suspects Wei Zixuan's head, and whether there are people with excellent ability who are willing to chase Wei Zixuan.

As long as you are willing to investigate carefully, even the Saint Tang Zuoxiang, who is a very popular minister, will be exposed one day.

Due to the accidental arrest of the thief general Masao Hamano, Dong Tianxing and the others found out the clues of the traitors in the DPRK and China, and Li Bing, out of deep concern for his own safety, decided to start a careful investigation and cut off the claws hidden nearby.

Fortunately, Ouyang Lin also happens to be the kind of person with excellent ability that Li Jiangyao said.

Although Ouyang Lin and most of his subordinates were born in the military, their efficiency in investigating and handling cases was much higher than that of the Beiya Reverse Scale Division at the same time.

For more than a month, Ouyang Lin successively mastered a lot of Wei Zixuan's situation. From the imperial capital to Luoyi, from Luoyi to Yizhou, from Yizhou to the imperial capital. Wei Zixuan's rise and interpersonal communication since becoming an official have become clearer and clearer. Even, even the problems of Wei Peng and Red Sleeves Zhai did not escape Ouyang Lin's eyes.

At the end of the search, an unusual name finally appeared in front of everyone.

Di Xian.

What kind of person Di Xian is, in today's Shengtang, there is no need to say more.

Ouyang Lin held the case file and hurried to the imperial study. As soon as Li Bing heard that he was coming, he immediately guessed that there must have been some important discovery, so he immediately summoned him.

After reading the thick file and listening to Ouyang Lin's detailed report, Li Bing's face was gloomy as if a dark cloud was thick. It is no exaggeration to say that if this case is verified, it can almost be directly written into the sequence of the top ten major cases in the Holy Tang Dynasty. The dignified Shangshu Zuo Servant Shot, the Prime Minister of the Second Grade, is actually a traitor of the rebels!

Li Bing stared at the inkstone on the table and was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked faintly, "What evidence is missing?" ”

"Confession." Ouyang Lin replied: "The confessions of all the parties." ”

Li Bing said in a deep voice: "Ouyang, you have to understand, if you make a mistake, I ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to save you. ”

Ouyang Lin said in a loud voice: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister is confident and will not make mistakes." ”

Li Bing raised his eyes and looked at Ouyang Lin, who was full of confidence, as if he had made a great determination, and patted the book case: "Okay, then interrogate them one by one!" Whoever you need to confess, ask whomever you want, and I fully support you! ”

Ouyang Lin asked lightly, "What if he can't resist?" ”

"Then just take it!"

"What if his henchmen gather a crowd to make trouble?"

"Give you two thousand tigers and leopards to ride, and whoever dares to make trouble will be killed! It's a big mess, I'll send you extra troops at any time! ”

Ouyang Lin replied: "The minister must do his best to live up to Your Majesty." ”

-

At midnight, in the quiet imperial capital, a team of heavily armed soldiers and horses drove out of the imperial city and headed straight for the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion.

The menacing soldiers directly smashed open the door of the fang, rushed into the fang, and then quickly surrounded the official residence of Shang Shuzuo's servants. Immediately after, the captain who led the team slammed the door knocker and shouted for someone to open the door.

After a while, the nurses of the Prime Minister's Mansion came out one after another and loudly asked what disturbed them.

The lieutenant was too lazy to explain, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to control all the other party, and then asked the keeper to lead the way and go straight into the back house.

At this time, the chaos in the front yard had already spread to the back, and the people in each house and courtyard got up one after another to hold the lamps and came out to look in a panic, not knowing what was going on outside. Wei Zixuan hadn't slept at this time, he put down the official document in his hand, and was about to ask his subordinates what was going on, when he suddenly saw more than a dozen forbidden soldiers murderously breaking into his study, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"What are you going to do?!" Wei Zixuan stood up and asked.

The lieutenant raised the token in his hand: "By the emperor's order, mention Wei Zixuan's palace for questioning!" ”

Hearing this, Wei Zixuan's heart suddenly chuckled.

The word "mention" means that the problem is already very serious. Otherwise, at least the word "please" should be used for Shangshu's left servant.

He took a deep breath, straightened out his thoughts, and made the last struggle: "This official is an official of the court from the second grade, if you want to take me away, you must issue an official holy decree, and it is too hasty to rely on only a token." ”

The lieutenant sneered: "Wei Zixuan, don't toast and don't eat and drink." The emperor asked you to ask questions, you just go honestly, do you really think we have to save face for you? ”

Wei Zixuan was silent for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, and walked out of the study with the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry. When he came to the front yard, he found that the housekeeper Wei Peng had already been tied up by the five flowers, and he was kneeling on the ground in frustration.

Wei Zixuan's heart sank when he saw it, and guessed that he might have been exposed, and the secret of the wasp had been mastered by the emperor.

It's over, it's all over.

A complete despair instantly filled Wei Zixuan's heart.

He is not the kind of person who has lofty goals and strong will, and he has come to this point, whether it is the identity of Shang Shuzuo's servant or the identity of the rebel traitor, he is actually coerced and promoted by others. Although Wei Zixuan himself also longed in his heart to be able to worship the marquis and glorify his ancestors, the more he came later, the more he could not control and the path he moved forward.

At the end of the day, he's just a pawn in someone's hands. He had nothing at the beginning, and he sold his soul to those people for the sake of glory and wealth.

Today, perhaps, is the time to redeem souls.

And the price of redemption is his still young life.

Before being escorted into the car by the tiger and leopard, the other party deliberately searched Wei Zixuan's body to prevent him from carrying murder weapons or poison and other things. However, these soldiers didn't know that the truly deadly poison pill had been hidden in the tooth socket in Wei Zixuan's mouth.

On the bumpy carriage, the dignified Saint Tang Zuoxiang cried. He covered his mouth with his hands, trying not to let himself cry, and the tears rolled down his cheeks, and he couldn't stop it.

When approaching the palace gate, Wei Zixuan finally put aside all hesitation and bit the poisoning pill fiercely.

He really didn't have the courage to face Li Bing, let alone the courage to face the forbidden army's tiger and leopard cavalry and the Beiya Reverse Scale Division.

-

Shang Shu's left servant committed suicide in fear of crime, but the case did not end there.

Ouyang Lin arrested twenty-two suspects, including Wei Zixuan and Wei Peng, overnight, from the moon and stars to the middle of the day. Under the deterrence of torture, Wei Peng and the other nine rebels should truthfully confess and confess all the circumstances of the Wasp gang.

Although the remaining twelve people had nothing to do with the rebels, because they were all secretly assisting Wei Zixuan in doing something harmful to the imperial court, Ouyang Lin also did not let go, and all of them were convicted of spies and sent to the heavenly prison.

After reading the confessions of Wei Peng and others, Li Bing was so angry that he smashed the jade cup on the spot, and directly ordered the forbidden army to raid the Wei family. More than 100 people in the whole house were arrested, all the men were beheaded, and the women were assigned to the teaching workshop and used as official prostitutes.

For a moment, the government and the opposition shook.

All the civil and military officials were surprised by the "wasp case", especially those ministers who usually clinged to Wei Zixuan, and they were all in a panic, for fear of being implicated, and they were convicted together.

However, they did not have the opportunity to take the initiative to prove their innocence, and they did not dare to show their loyalty to the emperor without three hundred taels of silver here, so they could only hide at home and pray to God and Buddha, hoping that God would bless them and let them pass the test safely.

Among these people, the two most panicked are Tian Mu and Gong Chengze. These two guys used to be very close to Wei Zixuan, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew that they called brothers and sisters, embarrassed and treacherous, and did bad things together. If there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, Tian Mu and Gong Chengze must be in the top two.

Especially in the investigation process of this case, the emperor did not use the Beiya Reverse Scale Division, but found a group of tigers and leopards to ride in secret, which made Tian Mu, who was the head of the Reverse Scale Division, feel that something was wrong.

This is definitely a red flag!

And Tian Mu's good brother Gong Chengze is also a master of the six gods. I have been to the front line twice, and each time I ran back in disgrace, not only did I not achieve an inch, but I also found a lot of trouble for the two main army corps of Suzaku Qinglong. How to look at it, how it looks like the internal response of the rebels.

Damn, I can't live now!

Two unlucky people who have lost their souls get together and discuss countermeasures overnight. After a while, he said that he would either run away, and for a while he said that he would take the initiative to confess his guilt, and for a while he comforted each other, saying that he and Wei Zixuan did not have a deep friendship, and the court should not wronged a good person.

In short, talking about it, except for the fact that my heart is becoming more and more bottomless, there is no other fart.

In the end, Tian Mu slapped the table and said: "For today's plan, only if you take refuge in that person, you may be able to keep your future!" ”
