The people in Dajiao Temple are all members of the Houdang group. They have always been at odds with the East Palace, and they have fought openly and secretly with each other for countless times. Anyone in the capital with a little knowledge of the matter will know this, regardless of Ming Chong.
Did Rian really die at the hands of the prince?
If we want to use this to make trouble, that's what the question is about. But, let's make trouble. Before Li Zhen, the chief judge who was ordered to do so, didn't come, it wouldn't be a big deal for a group of people to make trouble. It really wasn't a big deal.
If it were to be spread, it would just be a reputation for being messy and arrogant at best.
It's a big obstacle, but if you directly accuse the prince of the crime in front of Li Zhen, the nature will change. Once you can't produce real evidence, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. There is no need for the East Palace to come forward, and all the ministers in the court
It is absolutely impossible for workers to just sit back and watch as bullets are flying all over the sky.
Jing Nai was inevitable. No matter how strong Empress Wu was, it was impossible to protect the person who took the lead in testifying against Li Xian. In other words, Sun San's accusations were a desperate attempt. If he failed, he and even the entire Dajiao would be at risk.
It depends on the lives of dozens of Taoists to pay for it.
"Is there any evidence for what Sun Xianchang said?"
If Li Xian could really be overthrown, Li Zhen would definitely want it. Unfortunately, this is just a fantasy and cannot be realized at all. At this time, hearing Sun San say so confidently, Li Zhen's twinkling eyes flashed with anticipation.
There was a trace of brilliant light, but it soon dimmed. He just raised his eyebrows and asked with a solemn expression.
"Sun's eyes are proof, and the lingering traces of the sword's force left on the ruins of the pavilion at the scene are enough to prove that there is no danger!"
Sun San thought that he had Empress Wu's support behind him, so he spoke with great enthusiasm and insisted on Li Xian.
"Well, I have remembered what Sun Xianchang said. Come on, take Sun Xianchang to record a confession."
Li Zhen originally thought that Sun San could provide some fatal ironclad evidence, but this was not the case at all. It was just speculation. She couldn't help but feel very disappointed. It was just because of feelings, but it was not good.
He scolded him in public for speaking nonsense, and could only give a serious instruction.
"Ah, this..."
Although Sun San hated Li Xian to the core, he had indeed come here to stir up trouble under the secret orders of Empress Wu, but it was easy to say casually. He really wanted to turn such baseless speculations into evidence in court.
, but it is not a responsibility that it can afford. It really needs to be written in black and white.
Unless Li Xian can really be brought down, otherwise, it will be an unjustifiable crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if Empress Wu personally came out to guarantee, he and his three sons would not escape death. At this time, upon hearing Li Zhen's order, he immediately became furious.
I rolled my eyes and broke out in cold sweat, but I didn't know what to say.
"San'er, go ahead. Justice is in the heart of the people. If anything happens, I will make the decision for you!"
Old Taoist Qingxu had always been arrogant, and he thought that he had the strong support of Empress Wu behind him, so he was not afraid that Li Zhen would dare to use such a confession to cause trouble. In addition, he was saddened by the death of Ming Chongyan, and he was determined to have a good relationship with Li Xian.
After a lot of trouble, even if it meant sacrificing Sun San, he saw that Sun San was hesitant, so he said something coldly from the side.
"Yes, disciple, I obey!"
Seeing that Old Taoist Qingxu had spoken, Sun San, no matter how reluctant he was, did not dare to disobey the order. He could only grit his teeth, agree with all his heart, and leave together with the people from Prince Yue's Mansion who came forward to greet him.
The confession was recorded and no mention was made.
"Sir Wang, the confessions of various people in the Ming Dynasty and the results of on-site investigations must be compiled into documents as soon as possible. In this way, it is still early today, so we can compile them together. I wonder what Mr. Wang thinks?"
Although the deadline for solving the case given in the imperial edict was one month, Li Zhen did not intend to delay it any longer. He was determined to cut the knot with a quick knife. He did not want to cause a long night of trouble and ignored the wishes of Qingxu and other Taoists.
He glared, turned his head, looked at Wang Renshi solemnly, and spoke in a deliberation tone, but his words were filled with unquestionable determination.
"I respectfully obey the prince's order!"
The turmoil in this case was so big that Wang Renshi didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Even though he was already exhausted from last night's troubles, he didn't dare to say the first half of Li Zhen's instructions.
The person who said "no" could only respond hurriedly, and commanded the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to get busy.
All the government officials in Jingzhao Mansion are all veterans of public affairs. They are very familiar with tasks such as recording confessions. It only takes half an hour to complete dozens of court evidence and on-site investigation reports.
It's already concocted
When he came out, Li Zhen did not study it carefully, but glanced at it casually, without making any comment, he just put it into his wide sleeves, dropped a few words, and led the people to leave the Ming Mansion in a hurry.
This is a place of right and wrong.
"Your Majesty."
Li Zhen had just gotten into the carriage. Chen Wushuang, who had already hidden himself in the carriage, hurriedly bowed and said hello.
"Oh, Wu Shuang, I'm afraid this situation is not easy to deal with now."
Li Zhen originally didn't have high hopes for the on-site investigation. After all the hard work, she got nothing. She couldn't help but feel irritable. When she thought about the commotion of Qingxu and others, her face became even worse.
They looked at each other for a while.
"It's as expected. Why does the prince need to worry about this? Now that the matter is over, why doesn't the prince go to see the prince?"
Chen Wushuang had followed Li Zhen closely before. Although he had not spoken a word, he had seen everything that happened in the Ming Mansion and had already made up his mind. The reason why he hid in Li Zhen in advance was
In Zhen's carriage, they were worried that Li Zhen would be depressed and miss important events. When they saw that Li Zhen was so distressed, they immediately laughed and said something confidently.
"Huh? Well..., come on, change the route to the East Palace!"
Li Zhen obviously didn't expect that Chen Wushuang would suggest such a suggestion. When he heard it, he couldn't help but froze. After pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. He already had an idea and didn't say much nonsense. He just raised his voice and drank.
Throat, as soon as this order was issued, the huge team immediately turned around, turned around, and galloped along the avenue towards the East Palace...
"Your Highness, Your Highness."
At the end of the day, Li Xian, who had worked hard for most of the day, was still sleeping soundly, but he saw Gao Miao hurried into the dormitory, carefully approached the bed, and called in a low voice.
"Um?"
Li Xian was injured. Although he had been healed by meditation, he was still very tired. In fact, he had just fallen asleep for a while and was disturbed like this. He felt a little unhappy, but he just saw it.
The person was Gao Miao, but he didn't get angry immediately, but instead made a sound with displeasure in his voice.
"Your Highness, His Highness the King of Yue is asking for an audience outside the palace gate."
Having followed Li Xian for a long time, Gao Miao knew Li Xian's temperament well. When he saw Li Xian's unhappy expression, he dared not neglect him and hurriedly explained something.
"Oh? Did it come so quickly? Hmm..."
When he heard that Li Zhen had arrived, Li Xian didn't care about Gao Miao disturbing his sleep. He frowned and began to suspect Li Zhen would come.
It had been expected for a long time. After all, if this case was to be successfully concluded, it would not be possible without the cooperation of the East Palace. However, Li Xian
But he didn't expect that Li Zhen would come so quickly. When Li Xian thought about it, Li Zhen should show up when the showdown was about to take place. However, it only took half a day before the incident occurred. In such a short period of time, Li Zhen should not have gained anything yet.
Yes, now he actually came to the door like this. How could Li Xian believe that there was nothing wrong with him?
"Your Highness, the headmaster of the village has sent word that His Highness the King of Yue came directly from the Ming Mansion. Previously, the gang of bullshit from Dajiao Guan were making trouble in the Ming Mansion and insisted on framing His Highness."
When he saw Li Xian brooding for a long time with a puzzled look on his face but without making a decision, Gao Miao couldn't help but hurriedly reported the matter.
"Well, go and invite Uncle Eight to meet you in the study."
Li Xianduo was a shrewd person, and as soon as he heard these words, he immediately understood the purpose of Li Zhen's visit, but he didn't say anything, he just gave an order in a calm tone.
"promise."
Since Li Xian had given the order, Gao Miao did not dare to delay any more, so he hurriedly agreed to the promise, hurriedly exited the dormitory, and went to the palace gate to summon the King of Yue without mentioning it.
"Old minister, I pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Li Zhen came very quickly. Not long after Li Xian sat down in the study, Li Zhen had already flashed out from behind the screen under the guidance of Gao Miao. As soon as she saw Li Xian sitting high, she immediately took a few steps.
He rushed forward and greeted him with great respect and courtesy.
"Uncle Eighth, you're welcome. Just settle down."
Facing Li Zhen's grand salute, Li Xian did not stand up to greet him as humbly as in the past. Instead, he sat still and shouted with a calm expression.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Li Zhen is an old man. Seeing that Li Xian's attitude was different from usual, she knew that Li Xian might have discovered the reason for her coming. Her heart sank slightly, but she didn't care too much. After all, he had come here for a reason.
He was prepared, not worried that Li Xian would really get into trouble with him, so he rolled his eyes slightly, thanked him meticulously, and then stood aside with his hands lowered, pretending to be respectful and listening to Li Xian's instructions.
Posture.
"Uncle Eighth is so eager to find me, but has there been any breakthrough in the case?"
Seeing Li Zhen putting on such a respectful look in front of him, Li Xian couldn't help but sneered secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he just asked calmly.
"Your Highness is joking. It has only been half a day. Even though I have great ability, I can hardly make any progress. Well, today I just encountered a strange thing while surveying the scene. I dare not make the decision without permission. Please give me a clear explanation."
One, two.”
Li Zhen bowed and thanked her with a smile on her face, then took out a stack of documents from her wide sleeves, held them in her hands, and raised them above her head humbly.
"Um!"
Li Xian did not speak in a hurry, but looked at Li Zhen with great interest for a while. It was not until he saw that Li Zhen's old face changed slightly that he said softly, raised his hand, and signaled Gao Miao to move the stack of
The sub-document was forwarded, and I only glanced at it, my brows furrowed involuntarily...
