Wang Chengwei and the others naturally came over after receiving news from Shan Tao's game.
Originally, they were having a banquet in a restaurant in Anyifang. After receiving the news from Shan Tao, they immediately rushed to Jingzhao Mansion without stopping.
At the gate of the government office, Shan Tao ordered Cui Guangyuan to mobilize the government soldiers and told Wang Chengwei the news that he was trapped. The players were even more indignant.
But they are not general players, so how can they go up and fight for their lives?
Wang Chengwei quickly thought of a way. He walked up to the Yamen, picked up a hammer and beat the Denwen drum.
As the sound of Dengwen drum sounded, the people all around Jingzhao Mansion gathered around.
After all, I haven’t thought about Dengwengu for several years. It’s human nature to watch the excitement.
Then there was the scene where Wang Chengwei asked Jingzhao Yinche to investigate his fate in court.
Cui Guangyuan felt as uncomfortable as eating shit at this time.
The people in the hall are all scholars who have just completed the imperial examination, and Wang Chengwei is still a popular candidate for Jinshi.
Although they are not officials, they deal with them more cautiously than officials.
Whether to play these ten boards or not, and how to play them, are the questions Cui Guangyuan faces.
What's even more troublesome is the corpse in front of Wuzuo's room.
The general in the East Palace died in Jingzhao Mansion like this. How could the East Palace just let it go?
With such a big pot, I must have carried it myself.
It’s true that when people are sitting at home, the pot comes from the sky!
Cui Guangyuan felt extremely regretful. Why did he let Shan Tao, a killer, be appointed as a street patrol?
Is this guy really desperate for his life? He actually wants to kill the envoy from the East Palace for a piece of cake.
Now Cui Guangyuan really can't get off stage.
Just when Cui Guangyuan was in a dilemma, the staff around him came up and asked:
"Dayin, how do you hit this board?"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly: "The country has an order to beat the drum stick ten times, but since you are the pillars of the country, you will be exempted from this punishment."
"But arresting the murderer is a matter of the Jingzhao Mansion. It is a matter of confidentiality and it is not something you can lie about. Leave quickly!"
After saying this, Cui Guangyuan will retreat to deal with the trouble in the afternoon room.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chengwei said:
"Blowing the Dengwen drum requires ten strokes of the stick. This is an iron law in the Tang Dynasty. We who break the law are willing to accept the punishment! Please ask Dayin to carry out the punishment!"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned. Are you so stubborn?
Wang Chengwei suddenly fell down.
This was the first time Cui Guangyuan saw someone begging for help.
Now Cui Guangyuan also became angry. After all, he was a senior official of the fourth rank, but he was being persecuted in turn by his patrolmen and scholars who had no honors.
Cui Guangyuan picked up the token and said to the Yamen servant: "In this case, execution!"
Then he said to his staff: "Just hit it lightly."
The yamen servants in Jingzhao Mansion are very good at beating people. They can cut open the skin and flesh with one stick, and beat people to death with three sticks.
You can also swing the stick and make a sound, but the slap on the butt will only cause skin trauma.
This time the officer didn't dare to hit him hard, he just patted her ten times and called it a day.
But the officer beat him lightly, but Wang Chengwei and a group of scholars were wailing in the hall, and Wang Chengwei vomited a mouthful of blood.
Is it so vain?
Don't go to such lengths if you're so weak!
Cui Guangyuan was even more upset. If this guy died in court, he would be miserable!
Immediately afterwards, these guys helped each other and walked out of the court door.
When the people onlookers saw these scholars coming out in disgrace, and the leader Wang Chengwei kept vomiting blood, they were all frightened.
Then Wang Chengwei, while vomiting blood, explained to the people that he was beating the drum to complain about a brothel girl, and the people cheered even more.
This kind of talented and beautiful woman, with a suspenseful fate, is the best topic after dinner.
Two cases that had lost their popularity have become hot again.
At the same time, a new play was being staged at the Pipa Theater in Anyifang.
This time it is a newly adapted suspense drama. It tells the story of a brothel girl and a young man from an aristocratic family falling in love. Originally, the young man from an aristocratic family wanted to redeem the woman, but the woman was brutally harmed.
After the first performance, the response was so good that Pipa Xing performed eight performances in one day, almost exhausting Cheng Ji, who played the brothel girl, to death.
Cui Guangyuan didn't know that the public opinion outside had turned out like this. He hurried to Wuzuofang, looked at Shan Tao who was being held nearby, and saw Wu Minao's body on the ground, and almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
He walked up to Shan Tao and asked with a tone of wanting to eat this guy:
"You dared to kill the general of the East Palace on the spot. Do you know what the crime should be?"
Unexpectedly, Shan Tao said very calmly: "Dayin said that he is the general of the East Palace, is there any evidence?"
"this?"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned.
evidence?
When Wu Min came, he had a greeting card from the East Palace, but did not show his token.
Of course Cui Guangyuan knew that what Wu Min was doing was private, so it was naturally impossible for him to disclose his identity.
Otherwise, he would not have been killed by Shan Tao on the spot as he was a great general with only two men.
Shan Tao added: "In that case, please ask Dayin to send the head of the thief to the East Palace and ask if it is the Zhonglang General of the East Palace?"
"If it is really an official of the imperial court, I will directly accept the crime and commit suicide without any action from the governor!"
At this time, Cui Guangyuan finally woke up.
This guy is definitely not an ordinary person!
Cui Guangyuan knew that if Wu Minato's head was sent to the East Palace, the East Palace would most likely not recognize his identity.
The Suzaku Bridge case was so sensitive that if his head was sent away with great fanfare, wouldn't it mean that Togiya himself admitted that he was involved in the Suzaku Bridge case?
The body was hidden under the Suzaku Bridge, which the emperor had to pass on his way back to Luan. So what should he hide next time? To hide the swordsman and axe?
This is an extremely sensitive political issue, so Wu Min came to mention people in a low-key manner.
Cui Guangyuan was just cunning, not stupid. He immediately understood that Dong Gong's role in the fate must be disgraceful.
The person who bit Wu Minu to death was not from Dong Gong. At this juncture, Dong Gong could only grit his teeth and hold it in.
But with such a plan and such a clear judgment on the current situation of the imperial court, how could it be possible for a street patrol envoy?
If all the street patrols of the Tang Dynasty were like this, wouldn't the world be at peace?
Cui Guangyuan regained his judgment. He squinted at Shan Tao and asked, "Who are you?"
Shan Tao now understood that his plan to survive was successful.
For a "smart man" like Cui Guangyuan, you are not afraid of him thinking too much, but you are afraid of him thinking too little.
Shan Tao understands that if Cui Guangyuan knows that there is another way, then he can change from enemy to friend.
Shan Tao said calmly: "I am an internal guard under King Jianning."
As soon as the words "King Jianning" came out of his mouth, Cui Guangyuan felt that everything made sense.
Now the East Palace and King Nanyang are competing for the throne, but King Jianning is dominating Longyou and is also a powerful prince.
Cui Guangyuan felt cold all over his body. He hadn't been able to surrender to the prince yet, but he was involved in the heir apparent?
Hearing Shan Tao's wink, Cui Guangyuan still hesitated and dismissed the people around him.
Shan Tao said to Cui Guangyuan: "Dayin, do you think Dong Gong will believe it if you explain to Dong Gong that Wu Min's death has nothing to do with you?"
Cui Guangyuan was stunned. Wu Min was the Zhonglang general led by the right guard of the East Palace. This was no ordinary low-level general.
A high-ranking military commander died in Jingzhao Mansion without any explanation. In the end, Jingzhao Mansion asked a low-ranking patrolman to plead guilty. Dong Palace must have felt humiliated.
Shan Tao continued: "This matter has nothing to do with Dayin in the first place, so why should I have to bear the responsibility for it for nothing?"
Cui Guangyuan sneered and said: "You are so clever with your words, come on, put Shan Tao in jail!"
Originally Cui Guangyuan wanted to personally escort Shan Tao to the East Palace to make amends, but now after listening to Shan Tao's words, Cui Guangyuan just ordered his men to take Shan Tao to prison without immediately punishing him.
However, Cui Guangyuan did not expect that the situation would develop far beyond his expectation, and King Jianning did not give him much time to choose sides.
The next day, Dali Temple issued an ultimatum, asking Jingzhao Prefecture about the progress of the Suzaku Bridge murder case, and reprimanded Jingzhao Prefecture for the lack of progress in the investigation of the case.
Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites inquired about the matter of seventeen Longyou scholars who were beaten with sticks for beating Dengwen drums in Jingzhao Mansion.
The Ministry of Rites severely reprimanded the Jingzhao Mansion for being too harsh on the country's talented young people. It is said that Wang Chengwei, the head of the seventeen sons of Longyou, was already in bed in the Longyou Guild Hall and could not get out of bed.
Cui Guangyuan spat out a mouthful of blood. He only gave him ten symbolic blows. How could he be beaten like this!
Cui Guangyuan suddenly woke up when he thought of Wang Chengwei's place of origin.
Cui Guangyuan only felt like a flying insect entering the big web woven by a spider.
This feeling of being led by someone's nose is really terrible.
Another day passed, and rumors spread throughout Chang'an that the corpse of the Zhuqueqiao woman and the corpse in Jinggongfang were both related to the East Palace. Jingzhao Mansion protected the murderer and imprisoned Shan Tao, the patrolman who had been investigating the case, and was blamed again.
A scholar from Longyou who prayed for the people.

Another day later, Zhang Xun, the new Luoyang stayer, sent a private letter saying that this Shan Tao was a major contributor to the Battle of Suiyang and the restoration of Luoyang, and was on the list of people in Luoyang who requested credit.
Shan Tao was indifferent to fame and fortune and came to Chang'an to work as a minor official. Zhang Xun spoke sincerely and begged Cui Guangyuan for leniency.
Although Zhang Xun, the Luoyang stayer, was half a rank lower than Cui Guangyuan, the Jing Zhaoyin.
But all fools know that Cui Guangyuan is a tainted second minister, and Zhang Xun is a loyal minister who is upright and Miao Hong.
Cui Guangyuan couldn't hold himself any longer now. He never expected that such a trick would allow him to see the terrifying power of King Jianning in Guanzhong.
Cui Guangyuan did not hesitate at all when he thought of King Jianning, who was residing in Longyou, and his terrifying layout in the two capitals.
He opened the jail in Jingzhao Mansion, respectfully invited Shan Tao out, and appointed him with full authority to investigate the Zhuqueqiao and Jinggongfang murders.
At the same time, the body of Wu Couo, who "pretended" to be the general of the East Palace, was sent back to the East Palace.
Cui Guangyuan felt completely exhausted after receiving the certificate of surrender. The difficulty of this horizontal jump was really too great. If he was not careful, he would be plunged into an abyss.
