That day.

Fang Yuan was interrogated by the three divisions.

The Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The three divisions interrogated, but Fang Yuan was almost silent and did not admit the content of the report.

Immediately, the three divisions brought out witnesses, and the accusing Fang Yuan and Mo Cailing often met and had a close relationship.

But fortunately, Fang Yuan didn't know the other party, and the other party's testimony had the possibility of slander, and it could not be completely used as testimony, and it was necessary to find another person, namely Mo Cailing, or to have more evidence.

Therefore, the triage of the three divisions of Fang Yuan was temporarily frozen.

It's just that a lot of unfavorable information points to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan's situation is not very optimistic.

At this time, Fang Yuan was staying in a courtyard of Dali Temple, except that he couldn't get out of this courtyard, nothing had changed.

"Fang Shangshu, this king is now coming to see you in a private capacity."

Li Daozong walked over.

Waved off the guards on either side of the doorway and walked straight in.

"Unreasonable, right?"

Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

At this time, it is unreasonable for anyone to come and go in a private capacity.

Naturally, if Fang Yuan arranged the people below to do things, it would be unreasonable, but it would not necessarily stop it.

After all, it is a household secretary, and there are certain privileges, and the power will not be deprived until the sentence is determined.

"Hehe, the people you summoned in the past two days are unreasonable, right?"

Li Daozong said with a smile.

Sitting directly opposite Fang Yuan.

He didn't mind that Fang Yuan didn't get up and salute him.

"That's my normal work schedule, it's different."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

"Let's get back to business."

"Fang Shangshu, are you going to spend it like this?"

Li Daozong is colorful.

The current situation is that there are two people who point to Zhengfangyuan harboring Mo Cailing.

However, because Mo Cailing could not be caught, the confessions of the two of them could not convict Fang Yuan.

And the most important point is that they were the people of the Deng Ling clan before, and there is a possibility of slandering Fang Yuan.

Therefore, even if there is a lot of unfavorable evidence pointing to Fang Yuan, the three divisions will not be able to judge Fang Yuan in the past few days.

"I should have said this to you."

"It's been four days, and you've got three days left."

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

Normally, for the ministers of the imperial court, if there is no evidence to conclude the case, in the case of Fang Yuan, at most seven days of house arrest.

If there is still no good result after seven days, then the third division can only put Fang Yuan back.

"Do you know why this king came to you today in a private capacity?"

Li Daozong looked at Fang Yuan deeply, and finally said in a complicated manner.

"And what's hidden?"

Fang Yuan looked Li Daozong up and down and asked curiously.

"Indeed, look at it."

Li Daozong took out a document and handed it to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took it suspiciously, but when he saw the title of the document, his eyes changed.

[Regarding the demotion of Fang Yuan, the head of the household department, and the promotion of Gao Shilian to the head of the household department, discuss the feasibility. 】

It was not a letter of appointment, but many ministers signed it below, indicating that the plan was feasible and agreed to Fang Yuan's demotion and Gao Shilian's promotion.

This kind of discussion is not uncommon, and many high-level positions are negotiated by ministers and then signed by the emperor.

Like the last time Li Shimin appointed Fang Yuan as the head of the household department, directly bypassing the three provinces and six departments, in fact, it is not in line with the normal procedure, and this kind of discussion like the current one is the normal procedure.

"I suspect that someone deliberately used the fact that you harbored Mo Cailing to interrogate your three divisions."

"Whether or not your triage is successful, his purpose may be achieved."

Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

As the king of Qin, he is also the secretary of Dali Temple.

He has a certain sense of justice, so he will ask Fang Yuan to tell him.

"Can I be demoted without a conviction?!"

Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

But there is no need for Li Daozong to tell him, the paperwork has already explained everything.

The document lists many of Fang Yuan's transgressions, such as colluding with the Goguryeo princess.

There are many people who know about colluding with the Goguryeo princess, but the article says that Fang Yuan colluded with the Goguryeo princess to get bed, which violated dignity and humility.

Among them, there is another point that is the most deadly, that is, Fang Yuan was known to be named the king of Qin in Goguryeo, and the king of Goguryeo also rewarded Fang Yuan with a piece of land.

One country, two ministers, this is the deadliest!

Similarly, the matter of one country and two ministers is still being verified, so there are still three days left for Fang Yuan's three divisions to interrogate.

"Fang Shangshu, if I were you, I think it would be better to confess, so that you would have time to come out and clarify this series of things."

Li Daozong said as he stared at Fang Yuan's expression.

He wanted to see Fang Yuan's expression change, but he didn't see anything other than anger.

This made him not sure if Fang Yuan had something to do with the things recorded in it, or if Fang Yuan's city was extremely deep.

"Did the eldest grandson Wuji make this thing or Gao Shilian?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The corners of his eyes exploded, full of anger.

How long has it taken to get this information?

It's really scary to dig yourself out clearly, which is scary.

"The eldest grandson is Mowgli."

Li Daozong said.

It's no secret, people on the outside know it.

That is, Fang Yuan was inside, and the discussion had nothing to do with him, so he didn't know about it for the time being.

Naturally, such high-level discussions are limited to the heads of a few institutions, including the three provinces and six ministries.

"Heh, it's him."

Fang Yuan sneered.

Since then, the enmity between the two sides has really been unsolvable.

Before, Fang Yuan still looked at the face of Changsun Chong and the others, and did not completely break with Changsun Wuji and the others.

Now that things have reached this level, Fang Yuan will no longer treat them mercilessly, and he will no longer care about their identities.

"Therefore, this king advises you to confess your sins now, and have time to stop him, otherwise"

Li Daozong said in a deep voice.

If Fang Yuan didn't stop it, with the support of so many ministers, Fang Yuan would most likely be demoted.

This is a conspiracy of the eldest grandson Wuji, whether Fang Yuan admits guilt or not, it is not a good thing for him.

"I am not guilty, it is impossible for me to confess my guilt."

"Thank you for your kindness, but please go back."

Fang Yuan sneered.

Yang Mou, it's really a good Yang Mou.

The eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of being a figure who sits firmly in the Ministry of Officials.

This time it's a mistake, but things can't just make him perfect.

"Farewell!"

Li Daozong's eyes narrowed slightly, glanced at Fang Yuan, and got up to say goodbye.

After leaving the courtyard, Li Daozong also left Dali Temple and headed in the direction of the palace.

Not long after, regarding Fang Yuan's demotion to the household department, Gao Shilian's approval for his promotion was issued, and the stripes officially took effect.

After learning that Fang Yuan had been demoted and promoted to Gao Shilian, Fang Yuan's relatives and friends were immediately angry.

Qin Huaiyu was about to enter the palace immediately, and even if he was stopped, he forcibly came to see Li Shimin in front of the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, if you are not satisfied, you will feel dissatisfied for Fang Shangshu!"

Qin Huaiyu shouted, anger making his face hideous.

However, what responded to Qin Huaiyu was indifference, and there was no response.

And he also stopped in front of the door of the imperial study, and he couldn't see Li Shimin until dark.

As a last resort, Qin Huaiyu left the palace and went home to inform Lu Xia of the situation.

Du Miaoyan and the others were also very dissatisfied, but after Fang Yuan and Li Daozong separated, they called someone to come over and convey their opinions to them, that is, they didn't have to pay attention to anything and waited for him to come out.

The demotion of one person and the promotion of one person are limited to civil discussions, and no one seems to care about high-level people.

In this way, three days passed, and the third division had not found more information about Fang Yuan's harboring Mo Cailing, so he had to let Fang Yuan leave.

At the gate of Dali Temple, several carriages were waiting, and many people were standing beside the carriages.

Among them, there are Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing and others, as well as the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian.

The two sides are separated by the direction of the gate, and the distance is a bit far.

While everyone was waiting, Li Daozong came out with Fang Yuan.

"Fang Shilang, don't send it, I hope we won't see each other again in the near future."

Li Daozong didn't send it anymore when he sent it to the door, and said in a deep voice.

What he meant was that he didn't want to see them again in the near future, that is, he didn't let them find evidence that Fang Yuan was harboring Mo Cailing in the near future.

"Thank you."

Fang Yuan smiled indifferently and walked down the steps.

Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing immediately stepped forward to greet Fang Yuan.

"Husband, you have suffered!"

Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing said in a deep voice.

The two glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian who were walking over, and their faces were ugly.

"Fang Shilang, didn't you suffer, did you?"

The eldest grandson Wuji asked with concern.

"It's okay, Eldest Sun Shangshu won't be here to greet me, right?"

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

There was no unhappiness on his face.

"I'm here to apologize."

"After all, I got you demoted because of me, sorry."

The eldest grandson Wuji said solemnly.

"It's too early to apologize, it's too late."

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

"Amount"

"Fang Shilang is really good at laughing."

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, then shook his head and smiled.

Although he knew that Fang Yuan was extremely capable, now that Fang Yuan was no longer the head of the household, he could no longer wrestle with him.

Especially now that his uncle has been promoted to the head of the household, both sides have two hands, what else can Fang Yuan do with them?

"Fang Shilang hasn't come back to his senses yet, has he?"

Gao Shilian also spoke.

At this moment, he is full of a sense of revenge and is very happy.

This time, I came to greet him, just to see Fang Yuan's frustration.

"Gao Shangshu, let's wait and see."

Fang Yuan smiled slightly.

Pulled Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing into the carriage and left.

The eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with coldness.

"Do you think he has a trick?"

"If there is, there will be, and we can't stop it."

"Wait and see, hehe, just rely on him as a household servant?"

The two sneered and left the door of Dali Temple in a carriage.

Soon, Fang Yuan left Dali Temple, and the news of the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian welcoming them spread.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

"Little children?"

"Aren't they excessive?"

Li Shimin said with an ugly face.

However, in addition to the palace maid and the eunuch, he was the only one in the imperial study.

Therefore, no one answered his words, only Li Shimin was thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, a white figure appeared like a ghost, and even the forbidden army at the door did not notice it.

"Nie Yinniang, I've seen His Majesty the Emperor!"

The person who came was Nie Yinniang, known as Nie Yinniang, who had not missed a shot in the thirty years since her debut.

"Yin Niang, I want you to find Mo Cailing, be sure to arrest her back."

Li Shimin looked at Nie Yinniang, his brows furrowed slightly, slightly dissatisfied.

He summoned Nie Yinniang, but Nie Yinniang's sudden appearance still made him dislike.

After all, she is the number one assassin in the world, and she is very dangerous, and Li Shimin feels that her appearance will pose a threat to his safety.

"Life or death?"

Nie Yinniang said indifferently.

"Catch it alive!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Nie Yinniang pondered for a moment and quietly retreated.

Li Shimin looked at Nie Yinniang leaving like a ghost, and his expression was slightly hideous.

It's really not a good thing that such a master exists in the world, but fortunately, she can use it now, otherwise she can't be kept.

Soon.

Fang Yuan and the others returned to Fang Mansion.

Du Miaoyan and the others prepared a wind and dust wash for Fang Yuan before going out.

Juzi, Sun Simiao and the others had already been waiting in the Fang Mansion for a long time to welcome Fang Yuan and the others back.

In addition, there were also many people at the gate of Fang Mansion, but most of them were not to greet Fang Yuan, but to watch the excitement.

"I've kept you waiting."

Fang Yuan walked towards the giant and smiled.

"It's good to be back."

Juzi and the others nodded heavily.

It didn't take long for Fang Yuan and everyone to enter the Fang Mansion.

People who wanted to see the excitement were blocked out and were not allowed to enter.

"Fang Yuan, this time the imperial court is too much, they don't have all the evidence, so they will demote you."

Juzi was the first to hold grievances for Fang Yuan.

He knew that Fang Yuan was harboring Mo Cailing, but with Fang Yuan's recent efforts, it was enough to scold a few words, and it was not to the extent of demotion.

Even if he was really demoted, he would have to wait for the evidence of harboring Mo Cailing to be confirmed, instead of dismissing Fang Yuan as ambiguously as he is now.

"There is the emperor's meaning in this, so there is no need to be too upset."

"Giant, I have a big decision to tell you!"

Fang Yuan chuckled and shook his head, then his expression became solemn.

"You say!"

The giant said in a deep voice.

But Fang Yuan didn't say it immediately, but drove away some of the people, leaving the true core of Fang Mansion.

"I found an island overseas, and I was hesitant about when to renovate it, but now after this incident, I want to move the research institute there!"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The research institute is mainly research-oriented, and it is more suitable for clean places.

Let them migrate to Future Island first, not only will no one disturb their research, but they will also be the first to explore Future Island.

"Migration Research Institute?!"

"Isn't this a bit too big?"

Before the giant could speak, Su Ziqing on the side couldn't help but speak.

She had already come into contact with some of the cores of the Fang Mansion and knew that there were more than a thousand people in the research institute, and there was also a lot of equipment.

Just move away like this, what a big project, and many people have wives and children, are they willing to follow the migration?

"I'm fine, but what if some people don't want to migrate?"

The giant has no opinion, but he is worried that some people are reluctant to come here.

After all, many people in the research institute have already moved their children to Chang'an City and settled here.

"Pay a high price to help their children move with them."

"If you don't want to go, follow him, but forbid them to leak the secrets of the research institute, otherwise they will be killed!"

Fang Yuan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

There are so many people in the research institute, there will always be people who don't want to leave.

It doesn't matter, as long as they don't divulge the secrets of the Institute. (End of chapter)
