Chapter 14: Dilemma

Ding Buwei and Zhao Daquan were relatively speechless for a while. Huang Quan smiled and said, "Wechen is brave and begs Your Majesty to send someone to Wechen's house to search carefully." Whether Weichen took their witnesses or not, you will know at a check. ”

Zhao Daquan immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen is against it! Since Huang Quan is planning to do this, how can he hide people at home? The more he says this, the more impossible it is to hide at home, so he is not afraid of searching at all. Your Majesty, this man is very hateful!"

Ding Buwei also immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes! It must be so! Your Majesty, he must have taken people away and hid them somewhere else!"

Huang Quan said: "I still suspect that you have taken away my witnesses Ling Ye and the people's daughters and hid them in your house! Your Majesty, Weichen also implores someone to send someone to search their house to see if it is really hidden in their house!"

Ding Buwei retorted: "There is absolutely no way! How can we do such a dark and dirty thing like you!"

Zhao Daquan added: "Even if you really do it, you won't be so stupid, hide it in your own home!"

Huang Quan said: "Hey, if there is no evidence, I will ask you, do you dare to ask Your Majesty to send someone to search your house?"

Ding Buwei and Zhao Daquan glanced at each other, and then looked left and right, and then Zhao Daquan said: "Why don't you dare! Ming people don't do dark things! People don't do bad things, and they are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night!"

Huang Quan immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Daquan has spoken wildly, and he has compared the person sent by His Majesty to a ghost. How bold that is!"

Zhao Daquan was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to jump into someone's trap so easily, and hurriedly argued: "No, no, I'm not ......"

Emperor Shenwu's face did not move, but he was also secretly angry in his heart. Tell the person the emperor sent out to search for him as a ghost, then what is the emperor?

This man is so open-mouthed, very hateful!

Ding Buwei saw that Emperor Shenwu's expression did not move, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, so he hurriedly remedied: "Your Majesty, Zhao Daquan is just straightforward and fast-talking, and he said what he thought of...... Ah, no...... Zhao Daquan is, ahem, a martial artist who reads little, and his speech is not as gentle and elegant as that of a scholar, and he is more vulgar, so he ......"

Emperor Shenwu said slowly: "You can all say no more first. Now, there is one more person to corroborate. Where is Zhao Ming?" The Zhao Ming in his mouth was Lord Zhao, a minor official of the Ministry of Rites who went to greet Ling Ye and the others yesterday.

Zhao Ming also belongs to people who do not have enough grades to go to the court, and Emperor Shenwu specially summoned him on this day. Hearing the emperor's words at the moment, Zhao Ming walked out of the final sequence of the courtiers, finished saluting, and said, "Weichen is here!"

Emperor Shenwu said, "What did you see when you welcomed them yesterday?"

Zhao Ming bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Wechen was ordered to go to the city gate yesterday to greet the Xiaocai Battalion and Ling Ye and others who came to the imperial capital, but Wechen was probably late, and he only saw Wang Fuchun and a group of officers and soldiers of the Xiaocai Battalion, and he didn't see Ling Ye, nor did he see what they said. Wechen didn't see anything!"

Emperor Shenwu sighed and waved him back.

All the courtiers are used to being officials, so they naturally know that Zhao Ming is protecting himself in Mingzhe, and he can't offend anything, and he doesn't help each other, so he said directly that he didn't see it, so he didn't have to ask His Majesty the Emperor.

Oh loaches!

Emperor Shenwu said slowly: "There are indeed many doubts at this time. For the sake of today's plan, if I want to clear up my doubts, I can only go and see it in person, and see all three of you together. Everyone, Aiqing, come together!" He stood up and waved his hand: "Just prepare a car, no need to make a big show." I want to travel light!"

The courtiers below were in a commotion for a while, and an old white head bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, for such a trivial matter, you can send a small official, why bother to work for Your Majesty?"

Emperor Shenwu said: "I have made up my mind, and I have nothing to say!"

Ding Buwei and Zhao Daquan glanced at each other, and there was a trace of uneasiness in their eyes. 600

Emperor Shenwu is not confused, and he will not let the minister treat him as a swordman. He decided to go and see it himself, and asked all the ministers to go together, so as to avoid anyone who had sent out to be bribed by any party, and also to prevent anyone from secretly tipping off the news.

In the strategy that Ding Bu discussed for them last night, although he wanted to find a way to make them unable to go to the court in the middle of the night, he would never be so stupid and arrest people and lock them up waiting to be investigated, so they were basically relieved.

However, looking at Huang Quan's mysterious smile, the people on their side couldn't help but wonder secretly - it couldn't be that Huang Quan secretly played some tricks, right?

But here's the problem - even if Huang Quan really played some tricks, there was no way to prevent Emperor Shenwu from checking it now.

If Emperor Shenwu investigates, he may have to go to Huangquan; if he doesn't let Emperor Shenwu investigate, he will be a thief!

The only thing they can do now is to pray frantically in their hearts that Huang Quan had better not do any tricks!

Is that possible, though?

Another old white-headed man came out and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen dares to ask, which one to check first?"

Emperor Shenwu pondered for a while and said, "No matter which one is checked first, the one that is checked last will have plenty of time to make all preparations and eliminate the traces. Lu Aiqing, do you think so?"

The old white head replied: "Your Majesty is Shengming! Just as Your Majesty said!"

Emperor Shenwu squinted at Huang Quan and the others: "What do you think?"

Ding Buwei and Zhao Daquan started beating drums again in their hearts, and they really didn't know what to do for a while.

If the Huang Quan family is investigated first, maybe the manpower secretly arranged by Huang Quan will have ample time to frame the two of them. If the two of them are checked first, then Huang Quan may have plenty of time to transfer the people he has caught.

It's hard to start at any end!

Huang Quan looked at them, a sneering sneer on the corner of his mouth.

The two of them played a drum in their hearts for a while, and finally hardened their heads and said: "Weichen is bold, please ask Your Majesty to go to Ding Shilang's house first!"

Emperor Shenwu looked at Huang Quan: "What does Huang Aiqing think?"

Huang Quan bowed down and said, "Everything is decided by Your Majesty!"

Emperor Shenwu pondered for a while and said, "Then let's go to Ding Shilang's house first!

※※※

After a while, Emperor Shenwu brought all the ministers to Ding Buwei's mansion. When the house slaves of the Ding family saw that it was the emperor, they were so frightened for a while that they were busy sweeping the floor, putting incense on the table, and all kinds of red tape.

Emperor Shenwu waved his hand impatiently: "Excuse me! Excuse me! Ding Shilang, take me to see your child! The Imperial Forest Army will look around!"

Looking around is actually a polite way of saying "search carefully". The Guards immediately dispersed and searched everywhere.

Ding Buwei led Emperor Shenwu, just went to his second son's hospital bed to take a few looks, and said a few words in tears about the suffering of the second son who was no longer a man, and a voice came in outside: "Searched, searched! Quick, go to Qiqi Your Majesty!"
