Chapter 164: Recruited
(It's still a clichΓ© that everyone helps to score a little, and more than 100,000 people read it, and there are more than 1,000 people who rate it.) . There are also my business trip reviews may not be able to reply in a timely manner, but there is no problem with the update. Rest assured that there is a deposit. οΌ
Wei Yuanquan finally chose to confess, and there was no way. Li Shen's threats worked.
Half an hour later, Li Shen walked in again and saw that the confession had been drawn on the table.
I picked it up and looked at it, crossed out a name with a pen, and then nodded with satisfaction. said to Wei Yuan: "You know current affairs very well, I am very satisfied."
You can rest assured that I am the most faithful person who keeps my promise, and no matter how the final punishment is, I will not retaliate against you and your family.
You should be glad you called my mother cousin. Otherwise, do you think that just one Wang Wan can keep you?
That's because I don't want my mother to be sad, everyone in the free house is wolf-hearted, and you still listen to them. I really don't deserve it for you. After Li Shen finished speaking, he said to Li Tiejun behind him, "Let people take Wei Tingshi to bathe and change clothes, and I will take him into the palace." β
"It's the prince, Wei Tingshi, please" Li Tiejun said to Wei Yuanquan
An hour later, Li Shen took Wei Yuan, who was dressed in people's clothes, and headed towards Chang'an City.
Li Shimin of the Liangyi Hall looked at Wei Yuan's confession and his hands trembled, he didn't expect so many people to be involved. There were seventeen family officials who participated in the discussion alone, not counting the patriarchs of some families, but there were no heads of families on this.
"You are so bold that you dare to assassinate the Prince. You really didn't take me Li Tang seriously. Li Shimin was already extremely angry,
"The minister is guilty, and the minister is willing to bear all the guilt. I only hope that Your Majesty will be kind and spare my family," Wei Yuanquan knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin
"Aye, I don't have anything to do anyway, so I'll spare their lives. For the sake of my mother's concubine and the Wei family. "Li Shen is not a, and it was Li Shen who promised to spare his family.
"Hmph, the person who came was escorted to the criminal department first. No one can see it."
Then a guard came in and took Wei Yuanquan to the prison of the Criminal Department.
Li Shimin sat down and asked Li Shen, "What are you going to do next?" I am going to take out the testimony of Feng Shanwu and Wei Yuanquan in the court tomorrow to negotiate with the family. All officials involved in the case were to be killed. As for Cui Dunli's family, kill them all. β
"Aye, Cui Dunli may not come back. There are many horse thieves in the grasslands. It's not an exaggeration to say something. β
"Are you going to kill Cui Dunli in Xue Yantuo? But he had soldiers with him. Those soldiers are the people of my Tang Dynasty, and you must not kill innocents indiscriminately. Li Shimin objected. It's not worth taking someone else's life for the sake of a Cui Dunli
"Don't worry, I'll let the reconnaissance team go. pretended to be a running businessman, and unknowingly let Cui Dunli die. In this way, the family is even more afraid.
And Aye, I think it's nothing if the participants are killed, don't kill the family members, and exile them to a sparsely populated place to farm, especially the female dependents, how many children are there for one less woman? "Li Shen is thinking about labor and population, hundreds or thousands of people, you can't say kill them all.
"In that case, then you decide for yourself. Just don't make a big fuss. This is an excuse to negotiate terms with them. β
-------------------------------------
Weiqu is a place name, since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Wei family has developed rapidly, and now most of the clansmen live in Weiqu, that is, the old mansion in the mouth of Wei Guifei.
At this moment, the family members who participated in the assassination operation have all sent people over. After Wei Yuancheng disappeared, they guessed that the matter might be revealed.
"Old Wei, I don't know how you entered the palace today, whether Wei Yuanquan was arrested by King Ji." A representative of the Shandong Shi clan asked Wei Renji
"When I entered the palace today, King Ji never admitted it. But I felt that he must have done it, and he was not surprised at all to hear that Wei Yuancheng was missing.
However, at that time, Wang Wan and the queen both pleaded to let Wei Yuancheng go, but King Ji insisted that he didn't catch it, and I had no choice.
And King Ji kept asking me to tell me about the assassination. I reckon he already knew it was us. Wei Renji gave a general account of today's events
"If that's the case, then it means that Your Majesty may also know about it, and then the matter will be troublesome. Such a great sin is to rob the family and destroy the clan. The representative of Taiyuan Wang said
"If that's the case, then we can only give up Wei Yuanquan and Cui Dunli. That's how we can be preserved. The patriarch of the Fan Yang Lu clan expressed his personal opinion
Cui Renzhi was anxious after hearing this, "Elder of the Lu family, my Cui family Cui Dunli is a squire of the military department, and in the next step, he is the secretary of the military department, and he will give it up if he says it?" That's not what you said in the first place. β
"This time and that time, the situation is not good, and we can only prepare for the worst. We will find a way to make up for you," Zheng Jingsi on the side said, anyway, it was not from his Zheng family.
"Hmph. Do you think you can get away with it, now that Wei Yuanquan has been arrested, you can't run away under torture. I thought you could escape.
What we are thinking about now is how to deal with His Majesty's thunder, not to give it up. There must be no way for the two of them. I guess Wei Yuanquan should be alive, and Cui Dunli will definitely die. Wei Ting snorted coldly. These people will go on if they are cheap, and they will return if they are not cheap.
"Hey~~~ I thought it was foolproof, who would have thought that now I would become so passive, and this King Ji's life is really big. More than a thousand people could not kill him. I heard that the number of guards he carries with him when he goes out now has doubled, and it will be even more difficult to kill if he wants to kill him in the future. Wei Renji sighed softly.
He regretted it a little, in fact, the Wei family could be on good terms with King Ji. You look at the four of Weszie.
In just a few months, they have opened several tea estates in several prefectures and counties around Chang'an, selling Li Shen's tea, especially in big cities like Luoyang.
Li Shen is mainly engaged in wholesale, and does not go out to open a store at all. Wei Siqi opened three stores in Luoyang, and he earned tens of thousands of yuan in the past few months.
I heard that it was because Wei Guifei said hello to King Ji that King Ji gave them the business of these places as an exclusive.
The Wei family's current tea house business is getting worse day by day. It's already starting to lose money. It won't be long before they have to close their doors, and the family loses nearly a million a year.
"Well, no matter what, we'll just have to wait and see. I don't think even Your Majesty can kill all of our families, so let's go back and report to the patriarch and let the clan have a decision. Cui Renzhi finally said.
"The clan is not good. News came from the Criminal Department that Wei Yuan had entered the prison of the Criminal Department, and an official of the Wei family ran in. He was on an errand in the Criminal Department, and the clan had already told him to pay attention to Wei Yuanquan's news
"What?" Wei Renjiteng stood up suddenly. Wei Yuanquan was arrested, if Wei Yuanquan confessed, then they would suffer.
