At noon on this day, the weather was just right, and Quan Rui, the steward of Du House, was sitting in the front yard basking in the sun.

Suddenly, someone blocked his sunlight.

He smacked his lips, rather unhappy, and when he opened his eyes, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up.

"Girl, why is the girl here again?"

Jiaonu had a cold face and said lightly: "The right minister summons Xue Bai, what about others?" ”

"Xue Langjun, in the backyard."

As he was about to leave, he squinted his eyes and asked, "What are you panicking about?" ”

"Don't panic, don't panic, the villain didn't panic, it's a welcome girl."

Quan Rui adjusted his mentality and re-accepted the fact that Du Zhai was still under the control of the right minister, and his attitude became cautious, no longer as if he was flustered.

Kyauknu entered the room from the hall, and after a while, he took Xue Bai out, turned on his horse, and went to the right minister's mansion in Pingkangfang.

The Right Prime Minister's Mansion still has a lifeless atmosphere.

In the hall, Giwin was also there, standing there with his bows, looking like he had failed to do something again, and was being scolded.

Li Linfu is still behind the screen, giving people a sense of mystery and superiority.

Xue Bai saw Li Linfu again two days later, only to feel depressed, but he didn't show it on his face, he made a cross hand salute, called a "right minister", and his tone was quite enthusiastic.

"I heard that you went to the house of Mrs. Qiu yesterday and made a small speech." Li Linfu asked with a little joking: "Do you have the intention of changing the court?" ”

"The right phase is misunderstood." Xue Bai said: "It's just to join the army with Yang to see the world." ”

"I've seen the world, don't forget to do things for the prime minister."

"You must do your best and die."

Li Linfu didn't continue to beat him anymore, and said lightly: "Go with Jiwen." ”

"Whoa."

The figure behind the screen was long for a while, and Li Linfu was no longer there.

Ji Wen turned his head, showed a smiling expression, raised his hand and said, "Xue Xiaolangjun, please." ”

"I wonder what I need to do with Giffaccio?"

"The person Xue Xiaolangjun got back, Xue Xiaolangjun should personally judge it."

"That Longxi veteran?"

Xue Bai was slightly surprised, not understanding why Ji Wen could not even solve an iron case with conclusive evidence.

With a smirk on his face, Ji Wen did not hide the jealousy of Xue Bai in his eyes, and led him to the west side of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

This journey was long, and the more I walked, the more I went away, and finally I saw a separate high-walled courtyard.

The Yimen is heavily guarded, presumably the private prison of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is also the place where the veterans of Longxi are imprisoned.

Xin XII was waiting under the porch, and when he saw that Jiwen had arrived, he bent down to meet him.

"Is there any progress?" Gwenn asked.

Xin Twelve shook his head again and again, and responded, "No." ”

"Then it seems that Xue Xiaolangjun has to make a move." Gwen sneered, "Please." ”

Xue Bai followed his lead into the door, and it was indeed a private prison inside.

Walking through the long corridor, the front is getting darker and darker, and when I turn into a torture room, a fishy smell comes to my face.

Carrying a lantern to shine over, I saw that the Longyou veteran was tied to the torture rack, hanging his head weakly, and almost no skin and flesh were intact on his body.

Opposite the rack was a table with an oil lamp and a number of files spread out

"Can you see it?" Xue Bai pointed to the file.

"Please."

Gwin was still sneering, and people hated to tear his skin off.

There are many title deeds and slave deeds in the file.

Xue Bai looked at it for a while, and saw that the address of the title deed was the other business in the western suburbs of Chang'an, and the owner was a person named "Jiang Yan".

And the slaves and maids and subordinates in this other industry also belong to this "Jiang Yan".

"Who is Jiang Yan?" Xue Bai asked.

Gwen sneered slightly, arched his hand, and did not answer.

Kyauknu reminded in a low voice: "It's the old lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Xue Bai was slightly stunned, and only then did he vaguely realize how difficult this case was.

"Wei Jian's wife, Jiang, is the right cousin." Kyaunu said again: "The prince's party took advantage of this to plant everything on the head of the right prime minister. These Longyou soldiers acted in the name of the old lady......"

Xue Bai listened for a while and barely understood.

Although Li Linfu is a member of the Li Tang clan, he is already a distant relative, and he can only make up for a small official, and his initial reliance in the Tang Dynasty officialdom was his uncle Jiang Jiao.

Wei Jian married Jiang Jiao's daughter.

Therefore, Li Linfu and Wei Jian had a close and extremely good relationship. The reason why they turned against each other was because Wei Jian's sister married the crown prince Li Heng, and because Wei Jian threatened Li Linfu's phase.

In short, the struggle for power in the court is actually fought by some relatives. The prince's party must have taken advantage of this relationship and placed a lot of incriminating evidence in Li Linfu's name.

Xue Bai looked at the confession of the Longxi veteran again.

This person's name is Jiang Mao, and he is Jiang Yan's subordinate, and he has documents as evidence.

Jiang Mao in the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan to the first year of Tianbao, in the Longyou army from Rong, at that time it was Li Linfu Yao to lead the Longyou, Hexi Jiedu envoy.

No matter how you look at it, these are all Li Linfu's people.

"Recruit, I recruit." Jiang Mao, who was tied to the torture rack, opened his mouth and muttered, "I recruited it." ”

Xue Bai stepped forward and asked, "Who ordered you to kill Right Xiaowei?" ”

"Right...... Right phase. Jiang Mao didn't raise his head, and said in a low voice: "The right minister treats me with kindness and orders me to guard important witnesses......

"I'll be able to get your family soon." Xue Bai said: "It's better to tell the truth earlier." ”

"I'll recruit it, I'll recruit it all." Jiang Mao was tortured to the point of dying, and muttered in a weak voice: "It's all ordered by the right minister to do it......"

Someone in the torture room let out a "huh".

Xue Bai turned his head to see that it was Ji Wen.

I saw Ji Wen shrug his shoulders, rolled his eyes, and said, "This is the person Xue Langjun captured, but it turned out to be a trap." ”

This sentence offended the Kyauknu, and she couldn't help but sneer: "What can you do? ”

Ji Wen panicked, and hurriedly pleaded: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Xue Bai confirmed it again, and found that Ji Wen had not gained much so far, except for the little eunuch sent by Li Jingzhong to the western suburbs and the testimony of Du Yan, there was no evidence that could directly prove that the prince was raising those Longyou soldiers.

In other words, in the end, an iron case may not be convicted of the prince.

Xue Bai turned around and left the torture room, walked to the porch, looked at the snow scene in the courtyard, and took a deep breath.

He began to think back to the entire Wei Jian case and Du Youlin case, and realized that it was no coincidence that Li Heng was spared every time, and he looked down on the weak prince a little.

"It seems that Xue Xiaolangjun can't do anything about it?" Givan stepped out and sneered.

Xue Bai said: "It's obvious that Jiang Mao is lying. ”

Ji Wen said: "The stakes are very high, we can't even go to the saint to expose the evidence without even preparing it!" ”

Xue Bai realized that although Ji Wen was a cool official, he did not dare to fool the current saints.

He nodded and asked Kyaunu, "Do I need to return to the right minister?" ”

"The right minister is waiting for you in the Glaive Hall."

"Thank you."

Ji Wen looked at Xue Bai's back and muttered, "You said, is it to check his origin in order to confer an official title on him?" ”

Xin Twelve hurriedly responded: "The right minister uses people, so naturally he has to find out, but how can he give such a stinky kid an official?" ”

"In my place." Givin sighed.

Xin Twelve couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly responded: "The villain has already followed the clues given by Yang Zhao last night, and he must find out the details of this kid as soon as possible." ”

~~

Glaive Hall.

"There is a lot of rubbish around me."

Li Linfu was holding scissors, personally pruning a small pine tree in the potted plant, and said lightly: "You took that Longyou veteran, can you try it?" ”

Xue Baiying said: "Jiang Mao is a hard bone, the method of extorting confessions by torture, Ji Wen has already tried it, but I'm afraid that I can't pry his mouth open, I can use some other methods." ”

"Oh?"

Xue Bai said: "The register can be faked, and he can claim to be the right phase and live in the right phase." But such a big living person lives in Chang'an and works for Li Heng, and it is impossible not to leave any traces from beginning to end. ”

"Can you find these traces?"

"It's simple, visit."

"Givin has already checked."

Xue Bai asked, "Ji Wencha, it's different from me. If he had really checked everyone Jiang Mao knew, including his comrades who had joined the army in the same year or returned home together, the neighbors who could take pictures every day, and the prostitutes who had spent money on prostitution, he would not have had no clues by now. ”

Li Linfu turned his head and looked at him deeply.

Xue Bai replied solemnly: "I am willing to do my best for the right minister." ”

It seems that with his words, some people have even become more difficult to be cool officials.

Li Linfu continued to prune the potted plant, thinking slightly in his eyes.

Xue Bai continued: "Right Xiang, I need to check the Longyou military register after the twenty-sixth year of Kaiyuan, and I also need some right guards to cooperate. ”

"Kyauknu, you hold the original belief and let him investigate."

"Whoa."

After Xue Bai and Jiaonu withdrew from the Glaive Hall, Li Linfu sighed and muttered, "Wei Jian was originally the most trusted person in the prime minister, but in the end, he took advantage of the relatives of the original appearance...... Runnu. ”

"The slave is here."

"Send someone to Lingnan, don't let Wei Jian live this New Year."

"Whoa."

Li Linfu said, the scissors in his hand were slightly forced, and he "clicked" to cut off a branch, as if cutting off Wei Jian's head.

~~

Right Xiao Wei Bureau.

Xue Bai came to find the token of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and soon saw Yang Zhao.

Although Yang Zhao accepted Ji Wen's benefits to help find out Xue Bai's identity, he still had no shame when they met.

"Haha, Brother Xue is awake? When you look back, you have fallen into the blue eyes of Mrs. Qiuguo, but don't forget your brother's hard work. What does the right minister command? ”

Xue Bai looked at it and saw that although Yang Zhao was smiling, there was a deep sadness on his face, and he couldn't help asking, "What happened to Uncle Guo?" ”

"Ugh."

Xue Bai thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the concubine went to the Lady of Qiuguo Mansion yesterday, but it has something to do with it. ”

Yang Zhao nodded, his eyes becoming more and more worried.

He is not a person who can hide things, and said in a low voice: "The concubine and the saint are unhappy, and they are out of the palace, I am afraid that the wealth of the Yang family will come to an end, if this is the case, I will have to rely on you to support me in the future." ”

"It's not happy, why?"

"It was said that the saint was annoyed that the concubine was 'jealous and disrespectful' and sent her out of the palace." Yang Zhao was quite annoyed, and said in a low voice: "The three ladies are all persuading her to submit to the saint, but she refuses to listen, and she is sad. ”

Xue Bai looked at it and saw that Yang Zhao was indeed worried.

He knew that Yang Guifei would never fall out of favor like this, so he said: "Uncle Guo, rest assured, the saint is just angry for a while, and he will definitely take the concubine back to the palace soon." ”

Seeing Xue Bai's firm tone, Yang Zhao couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" ”

"Guess, Uncle Guo believes me."

Yang Zhao lowered his voice a little and said, "I'm really worried about the concubine, but I also want to give advice and make some contributions to the concubine in this matter." Virtuous brother has always been smart, but can he teach me a good plan? ”

Xue Bai groaned: "Give the concubine a poem." ”

"Is that okay?"

"Uncle Guo will listen first."

"Okay."

Xue Bai thought about it for a while, and casually recited a poem.

"Tears wet Luo Towel dream can't come true, and the front hall sings late at night."

"The red face is not old and the grace is broken first, and the lavender cage sits until Ming."

"This ......" Yang Zhao rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Let the saint hear this poem in the tone of a noble concubine?" To teach him to be soft-hearted? ”

Xue Bai knew that Yang Guifei was fine, he just put together the icing on the cake and nodded calmly.

"It will be possible."

Yang Zhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to bring paper and pencils, urged Xue Bai to read it again, hurriedly wrote down the verses, and prepared to go to the palace of Mrs. Qiuguo to present poems.

"Uncle Guo walks slowly." Xue Bai said: "I still have official business to ask Uncle Guo to help." ”

"How can you manage this?" Yang Zhao hurriedly said: "If you have anything, I will arrange someone to give it to you." ”

Xue Bai already had a plan in his heart, and immediately said: "In this case, the right Xiaowei has a Tian Shengong, I don't know if it can be sent to me?" ”
