The sun on the horizon gradually fell, and the drums first sounded in Daming Palace, and the street drums of the entire Chang'an City sounded in turn.

In addition to the people on duty, all the yamen went out of the yamen to go home to guard the imperial city, and the Jin Wuwei of the imperial palace was changing shifts, and when night fell, Chang'an City began to curfew.

Before the drums are over, all must return to their respective residences, and Datang has a curfew system, and people are forbidden to wander the streets at night.

According to the curfew system of the Tang Dynasty, if you are found by Jin Wuwei still hanging out after the drum is over, once you are caught by Jin Wuwei, you will be invited to eat a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots.

If you want to walk on the street after curfew, unless you are a person who comes out to perform official duties, you only need to show an official document to walk normally at night, and Jin Wuwei will not embarrass you.

After 400 drums, the gate will be closed, and after another 600 knocks, the gate will be closed, and there will be no more pedestrians on the road.

After the gate is closed, Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of the inspection, will go out on patrol to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net.

However, on the day of the festival, the curfew will be lifted, and everyone will be allowed to play as many times as they like on this night.

In the Regent's Mansion, Li Jing was preparing to sleep in wide clothes, and Ximenyang's voice came from outside.

"Regent, news has come from the palace that something has happened to the saint!"

Li Jing was shocked!

He immediately stepped forward and opened the door and asked, "What happened to the saint?" ”

"The saint is dead!"

"What?!"

Li Jing was shocked! Why did the good ones die?

Li Jing hurriedly asked about the specific situation, and Ximenyang was not very clear, but fortunately, General Jin Wuwei found that the situation was not good, and blocked the news as soon as possible.

and controlled all the people who served Li Xian, and even the imperial chef who cooked for Li Xian was arrested!

Li Jing immediately entered the palace to check the situation, and Jin Wuwei on the street saluted and let him go, and Li Jing successfully entered the Daming Palace and came to Li Xian's bedroom.

"See the Regent!"

Xu Da, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, saluted with crossed hands.

"Xu Da, what's going on?"

Li Jing hurriedly asked.

"The saint was poisoned and died."

When Li Xian died, he screamed, and immediately notified Xu Da, who immediately took control of the scene.

"Poison hair? At this time, someone dares to kill the king, what a bold act!"

Li Jing was very surprised! Someone was so bold, even he didn't dare to do it, but someone dared to secretly poison Li Xian.

Who the hell is the other party? Why? What are the benefits of poisoning Li Xianneng?

Don't......

Does the other party want to blame me for Li Xian's death?

What would happen if I became a kingkiller?

In the feudal era, killing the monarch was a big thing, once he became a traitor, it was the object of the world's common discussion, and everyone shouted and beat the street rat.

If this is the time, a prince of the clan will stand up and raise his arms! I'm afraid that many people will respond to his call and jointly crusade against the monarch killer!

The other party is so vicious, he wants to prevent him from becoming the emperor through such means, and by the way, disturb the entire Tang Dynasty, how can he allow such a thing to happen!

Dare to frame him, the first loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will dig people out, peel off the skin and cramp, die and burn to ashes, and even the ashes will be raised for you!

Li Jing came to Li Xian's corpse, only to see Li Xian's seven holes bleeding, and at a glance, he knew that he had been poisoned and died.

"Where is the Black Guard?"

Li Jing shouted, why didn't the black-clothed guard report such an important matter?

Jin Wuwei walked out of the two lieutenants, crossed his hands and saluted: "The black-clothed guard is here!"

"The saint was poisoned, why didn't you find out in advance?"

Li Jing asked, isn't the purpose of setting up black-clothed guards to monitor hundreds of officials, magnates, and gate valves, if they don't even notice that someone is poisoning, what is the use of keeping these black-clothed guards?

"Qiyu Regent, there is nothing suspicious found in Guanglu Temple, and there is no problem with the food given to the saint, after the investigation of the black-clothed guard, it should be poisoned by the people around the saint!"

The black-clothed guard said, if there is any problem on the side of Guanglu Temple, the black-clothed guard will definitely be able to find out, and in the process of delivering the food, he is also staring at it, and there is no chance to start at all, as for the people around Li Xian, they are even more strictly guarded, and it is forbidden to entrain, and it is impossible to poison it.

So, how did the other party avoid all the surveillance and poison Li Xian?

Li Jing had a headache, he didn't have any clue at all, and he couldn't understand how the other party completed the poisoning without being discovered!

"What about the people who serve the saints?"

Li Jing asked, since there is no problem with the diet, it can only be investigated from other aspects, and the people who serve Li Xian are suspected and must be strictly interrogated.

"It's all under control, and it's locked up in the side hall!"

As soon as Xu Da arrived at the scene, he immediately sealed it off, the scene of the crime remained unchanged, and all the people present were controlled and detained!

"Send them to the Criminal Prison Division, and let Zhou Xing and the others interrogate before dawn to find out who is the mastermind."

Li Jing said that he wanted to know the answer as soon as possible.

"Yes!"

Xu Da received the order and asked people to send the people who were serving Li Xian to the Criminal Prison Division.

"Regent, the Eastern Capital stayed behind in the Tang River and sent a telegram!"

After hearing this, Li Jing was very puzzled, why did the eastern capital stay in the Tang River, why did he send a telegram at this time?

Li Jing stretched out his hand to take the telegram, which read: Princess Taiping had a private meeting with Hu Seng Huifan.

After Li Jing saw it, he didn't think much about it, Princess Taiping had many male favorites in history, and there was nothing unusual about liking Hu Seng, Wu Zetian's first male pet was not a monk.

It's just the taste of Princess Taiping, will it be too heavy!

Li Jing did not associate Princess Taiping's private meeting with Hu Seng at all, and Li Xian was poisoned.

Li Jing ordered the city of Chang'an to be tightly sealed, the news of Li Xian's poisoning was strictly sealed, and no one was allowed to leave Chang'an until it was investigated, and the black-clothed guards were sent to secretly monitor the royal clans, especially the prime minister Li Dan and his son, who were the key targets of surveillance.

……

As soon as Li Xian's maids and chamberlains were sent over, Zhou Xing and others gave these people a torture package, which also included the newly honed torture.

"Serve these people well, the Lord Regent is still waiting for our news!"

Zhou Xing said to the jailer.

The jailer showed a wicked smile, held the whip in his hand, and said, "Director Zhou, don't worry! Even if it's a dead pig tied up, don't worry about it not speaking human! ”

"Hahaha! Okay! Good! I'll leave it to you here, be sure to figure out before dawn, how did the poison come from, and where did the poison come from? ”

Zhou Xing admonished.

"Don't worry, Director! I'm keeping an eye here, and I'm going to take out all the secrets in these people's stomachs and dig them out!"

The jailer said with a smile, it was not the first time they had done the matter of extorting confessions by torture, and they were already familiar with how to use torture.

"No matter how high or low this person is, whether he is rich or not, whether he is a powerful official or a pawn of a peddler, literate or illiterate."

"As long as you enter the prison of our prison department and give them a big punishment, even if your mouth is hard, you can keep him whatever he says, hehehahahaha!"

The jailer smirked.

Zhou Xing laughed out loud with satisfaction, handed over the matter of torture to the jailer, and went back to the yamen to rest!

Under the operation of the jailer, the maids and chamberlains couldn't help the torture, and they all admitted that they had poisoned Li Xian, and the jailer was overjoyed and immediately went to Zhou Xing to report.

After Zhou Xing and the others finally got the result that Li Xian was poisoned, they hurriedly went to the regent palace to report the case to Li Jing.

"Zhou Qing, can you ask who poisoned it and how did it happen?"

Li Jing hurriedly asked when he saw Zhou Xing.

"Qiyu Regent, after the interrogation of Weichen, those maids and chamberlains have confessed that they collaborated to poison the saint in order to frame the regent!"

Zhou Xing told Li Jing of the results of the interrogation.

After hearing this, Li Jing wondered, he had no enmity with these people, why did these people do this?

"Why are these people conspiring to frame me?"

Li Jing wondered.

"They said that they were originally the people around Webster after the abolition, because the regent sent Webster into the cold palace, and because he hated the regent, he conspired to poison the saint and wanted to prevent the regent from becoming emperor."

Zhou Xing said.

When Li Jing heard this, he was even more puzzled, even if they really hated him, they would not poison Li Xian, so what was their motive for poisoning Li Xian?

Besides, after abolishing Wei at the beginning, the palace maids and eunuchs around her were all disposed of, and it was impossible to stay by Li Xian's side, and Li Jing would never allow these old people to stay in the palace.

Therefore, there is something wrong with the rhetoric of these people, it seems that Zhou Xing is tortured, and they can't stand the torture, so they can only obediently admit the "crime"!

It's really the torture of the Criminal Prison Department that is too much, and they really can't stand it, so they take the matter of killing the king on themselves, and they just want to get rid of it as soon as possible, even if it is better to die than to be tortured.

"I know, hard work Zhou Qing, this matter is silent, and no one can know about it."

Li Jing can be regarded as having seen the ability of the cool officials, and this kind of investigation is still handed over to the people who have changed jobs!

"Wechen understands!"

Zhou Xing bowed and retreated!

"Go and call Xu Yougong and Di Renjie to me!"

Xu Yougong and Di Renjie are both good judges who enforce the law fairly, and only they can seriously handle the case, rather than being beaten into tricks.

Ximen Yang immediately ordered his subordinates to take Li Jing's official document and call Xu Yougong and Di Renjie over!

Xu Yougong and Di Renjie were called to Li Jing's mansion, and Li Jing told them about Li Xian's poisoning, and asked them to find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible!

The two were shocked when they heard this!

How could they never have thought that Li Xian was poisoned, and the two knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately launched an investigation.
