Wu Chengsi nodded. Mo Lizhi was equivalent to the prime minister of Goryeo, and his power far exceeded that of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. More than 20 years ago, Yeon Gaesumun killed the old king and established a new puppet king to control the government.

Su Dingfang continued: "After the death of Yeon Gae Su Wen, I thought it was an opportunity, so I paid close attention to the trends of Goryeo. Until a month ago, Yuan Xiancheng, the son of the new "Mo Li Zhi" Yuan Boy, suddenly came to me and said that Yuan Xiangcheng

When the boys were out on patrol, two younger brothers launched a mutiny!"

Wu Chengsi was slightly shocked, because King An Yuan was one of Yuan Boy’s two younger brothers!

"Yuan Nanzi led the remaining troops to hide in Baobie City, and asked his son Yuan Xiancheng to come to me and say that he was willing to join the Tang Dynasty! I hope that the Tang Dynasty will send troops to reinforce!"

Wu Chengsi asked doubtfully: "It should be a good thing that Mr. Yuan sent his son to join us. Why do they say you are colluding with the Koreans?"

Su Dingfang's cheek twitched slightly: "It's my fault for being careless. In order to verify Yuan Xiancheng's words, I detained him in the house and sent his intelligence unit "Flying Eagle Division" to go deep into Goryeo to verify whether what he said was true or false.

Soon after, the Flying Eagle Department reported that civil strife had indeed occurred in Goryeo and that the situation was very serious."

The more Wu Chengsi listened, the more confused he became. So far, Su Dingfang's handling was reasonable and there were no problems.

Su Dingfang sighed: "At that time, I took the initiative to find Qian Jiude and Pang Xiaotai, and asked Zheng Rentai to inform them of the situation in Korea. I also proposed that the four of us jointly submit a letter requesting the imperial court to use troops against Korea!

It was at that meeting that they joined forces to attack me."

"Why?" Wu Chengsi asked in astonishment.

Su Dingfang's expression suddenly turned ferocious, and the murderous aura in his eyes shot out as if it were real. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's just because I was blind and left a wolf by my side that I suffered the consequences!"

"What do you mean?" Wu Chengsi asked.

Su Dingfang punched the ground hard, and the chains on his hands jingled, and said: "My subordinate Deng Ming betrayed me. That day he suddenly broke into the camp and said that I colluded with the Koreans and wanted to rebel against Tang Zili."

!”

"He said that there was no civil strife in Goryeo. This was all a show played by the Goryeo people to cooperate with me. As long as Your Majesty allows me to lead troops to attack Goryeo, I will lead my troops to Baekje via the road and establish a country there as king!

He came to expose me because he didn’t want to rebel against the Tang Dynasty!”

Wu Chengsi was stunned for a long time and said in a deep voice: "His words alone shouldn't be enough, right?"

Su Dingfang said coldly: "Yes, that Korean is the mastermind. Zheng Rentai and the others caught Yuan Xiancheng and tortured him for questioning. Yuan Xiancheng deliberately refused to admit it at first. After being tortured for a while, he pretended that he could not bear the torture and confessed.

It is said that I have indeed colluded with the Korean people and intends to rebel against the Tang Dynasty and establish independence."

Wu Chengsi collected his thoughts and said: "So you think this whole thing is a conspiracy of the Koreans. They pretended to be in civil strife, sent people to you in the name of returning to the Tang Dynasty, and then bribed Deng Ming. All this is for

Framing you for betraying the Tang Dynasty!"

Su Dingfang glared: "I don't think so, that's what happened! I was framed by the Koreans!"

Wu Chengsi thought to himself, judging from Su Dingfang's testimony, the case was simple and clear. There were only two most critical witnesses, one was Deng Ming and the other was the Korean Yuan Xiancheng.

But although the case is simple, the difficulty is actually greater. Deng Ming has now become the hero who exposed Su Dingfang. If he wanted to get him to admit that he framed Su Dingfang, he would probably refuse to agree even to the death, let alone the Korean man.

As long as they insisted, Su Dingfang would be almost unable to defend himself.

What's more, no matter what Su Dingfang said is true or false, he was deceived by the Koreans. If Deng Ming had not come out to expose him, the Tang army would have rashly cooperated with Yuan Xiancheng to send troops to Korea, and they would have probably returned with a huge defeat.

Originally, Wu Chengsi came to Su Dingfang, hoping to get some clues from his testimony. Unexpectedly, after asking about the whole incident, not only did he gain nothing, but the case became more difficult.

After going around and around, the only breakthrough at present is the five names Su Dingjie heard.

Those Koreans colluded with Xu Jingzong to frame these five people. They definitely had some purpose!

Thinking of this, he asked: "General Su, before you returned to Beijing, I have been investigating your case. Five of them are probably related to your case."

"Which five people?" Su Dingfang asked curiously.

"Pei Xingjian, Hei Te Changzhi, Cui Baosheng, Gao Funan and Lu Zhining, do you have any impressions of these five people?"

Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Pei Xingjian is my disciple, you should know it. He can speak Goryeo. He once served as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty and signed an armistice with the King of Goryeo and the King of Silla in the old land of Baekje." protocol."

Wu Chengsi frowned and said, "What about the other four people?"

"never heard of that."

Wu Chengsi was quite speechless: "General Su, Black Teeth Changzhi is a surrendered general of Baekje, and he was captured by you yourself, don't you remember?"

"I have captured countless people, and I always remember coming here." Su Dingfang's old face turned red.

Wu Chengsi sighed and was about to ask again when a group of Qian Niu Guards suddenly came over. The leader was Qian Niu Guards General Li Duozuo. When he saw Wu Chengsi, he was slightly startled and cupped his hands and said: "Master, your Majesty declares Su Dingfang comes to see you."

Wu Chengsi's heart trembled. Even he, who believed that Su Dingfang did not commit rebellion, had a headache after hearing Su Dingfang's testimony. If it was Li Zhi, Wu Mei would not know how to react after hearing this.

Seeing his deep frown, Su Dingfang smiled and said: "Young man, life and death are determined by fate, wealth is in heaven..."

Just when Wu Chengsi thought he was going to say something about "don't worry too much", he suddenly bowed and said sincerely: "It is not a pity for me to die at a young age, but the lives of more than a hundred members of my Su family , I completely depend on you!”

After saying that, he followed Qianniu Wei and left.

Wu Chengsi: "..."

The jailer was about to close the cell door when Wu Chengsi suddenly got in.

The jailer was shocked and said: "Master, what are you doing..."

"It's clean here. I want to think about something here." Wu Chengsi said softly.

The jailer smiled apologetically and said, "Then you can call me later." He didn't dare to disturb me too much and left quietly.

…

Wu Chengsi leaned against a wall, various fragments flashing through his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, all the things that had happened gradually converged into a line in his mind.

Cui Baosheng served as an envoy to Korea, Lu Zhining and Gao Funan were both Koreans, and Hei Te Changzhi also served as an envoy to Korea.

In addition, Su Dingfang just revealed that Pei Xingjian signed an armistice agreement with the King of Goryeo and the King of Silla.

These five people have one thing in common, they all have intersections with Goryeo! But what does this prove?

After thinking quietly for more than an hour, Wu Chengsi suddenly seemed to have a flash of light flashing through his mind, and murmured: "Could it be because of him!"

He shouted to the jailer, left the cell, asked the jailer some questions, and then came to another cell.

Through the iron bars, I could see a young man covered in scars inside the prison. After hearing the footsteps, the man looked up and quickly lowered his head again.

"Are you Yuan Xiancheng?" Wu Chengsi asked with burning eyes.

"Who are you?" the young man asked without answering.

"I am the person in charge of Su Ding's proposal."

The young man said anxiously: "General Su is innocent. I said that after being tortured to force a confession. He did not collude with our Goryeo!"

Wu Chengsi sneered secretly, these Koreans were indeed cunning, knowing that the more they said this, the more others would doubt Su Dingfang.

"So you admit that you are Yuan Xiancheng?"

The young man said solemnly: "Yes, I am Yuan Xiancheng, and my father is Goryeo Molizhi. If you don't want war between the two countries, please let me go!"

Wu Chengsi whispered something in Han Cheng's ear, and Han Cheng nodded.

"What did you ask him to do?" Yuan Xiancheng asked uneasily.

Wu Chengsi did not answer him, turned around and left the prison, waiting at the door.

More than half an hour later, Han Cheng came back, followed by a black-faced man, it was Hei Te Changzhi.

"I will thank Mr. Wu!" Hei Chi Changzhi thought that the Hanlin Academy case had been solved, so he was released.

Wu Chengsi did not explain much and asked directly: "General Black Teeth, have you met Yuan Xiancheng?"

Hei Te Changzhi was stunned for a moment. He felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.

Wu Chengsi reminded: "This is a Goryeo name."

Black Teeth Changzhi thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Ah, I remembered it, Yuan Gaesuwen's grandson is named Yuan Xiancheng, and I have seen him before in Goryeo!"

Wu Chengsi smiled slightly: "He is in prison now. Do you want to meet this old friend?"
