Chapter 597
Chang Sun Chong immediately threw away this somewhat absurd idea.

Looking at Xin Xin again, observing his expression, Chang Sun Chong said to the jailer, "Take him into the cell and take good care of him."

"Here."

Several jailers left with their hearts in their hearts.

The first interrogation was fruitless, and Chang Sun Chong left Dali Temple discouraged. It was already autumn.

Listening to the discussions of people around me along the way, what they talked about was nothing more than irrelevant things.

Speeding up his pace and coming home, Changsun Chong saw Changsun Wuji in his backyard.

Changsun Wuji cut the pot of bamboo in front of him and said, "This is a bamboo bought from a Lingnan merchant, so it's not bad."

Chang Sun Chong glanced at it, but said nothing.

Changsun Wuji went on to say, "How about it, have you explained it to your heart's content?"

After hesitating again and again, Sun Chong said, "It can be regarded as an explanation, but it can also be regarded as a failure to explain."

Changsun Wuji said in a low voice: "What's the matter? Can't come out of the interrogation?"

The eldest grandson lowered his head, "Shen Xin doesn't seem to know anything, and there are a few questions in my child's mind that I can't figure out."

Changsun Wuji stopped what he was doing and sat cross-legged, "Say."

"Father, the case of weapons trading is the biggest case in this dynasty, and it seems to be going on even under strict investigation by the central government. What kind of person can do this level, and can not be left behind in the three provinces and six ministries?" Any traces can even influence the situation outside the customs.”

Changsun Wuji drank the tea soup and said, "It is indeed a good method."

It was rare to hear such pertinent words from his father, and Chang Sun Chong felt a burst of bitterness in his heart.

"What about other questions?"

Chang Sun Chong still lowered his head, "Dai Zhou, Minister of Dali Temple, was investigating this case. Why did Dai Zhou suddenly get old? It seems that the file of the original investigation has disappeared."

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath, "Dai Zhou is already very old, and it's time for him to retire. It's not surprising when he leaves."

"The biggest doubt in my heart is that the mastermind behind the scenes can bypass the three provinces and six ministries to do things. The only thing that can't be bypassed is the border defense generals. Did he bribe all the border defense generals? Even if he did, how could there be no news at all."

Changsun Wuji took out a roster from his cuff, "A letter from another 31 general who is good friends with this old man, saying that he will not have any contact with the Changsun's family in the future. They are all contacts accumulated in the early years, and now they are scattered like birds and beasts."

Chang Sun Chong took the roster and looked at it. All the names on it were familiar, "How could this be?"

Changsun Wuji took another sip of tea soup, "It has been like this since you brought Xinxin back to Chang'an, why do you think?"

"Then these generals have agreed in advance, is it a decision made between them?"

"What do you think?"

"Everyone on this list must be suspected."

Listening to his son's words, Changsun Wuji said: "I have checked, and most of them have withdrawn from the Weifu and are not in the army. Few of them have anything to do with the border defense. Even if they are border defense generals, there are only three. These three One is in Shanhaiguan, one is in Lingnan, and the other is stationed in Yinshan, which has nothing to do with the weapons case."

"Then why?"

"There are people working behind the scenes, and those who can do this will not have a lower status than our eldest grandson's family."

"There are not many people with the same status as our eldest grandson's family. Could it be Li Jing?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Do you think it's possible?"

Chang Sun Chong summoned up his courage and asked, "Is that that one?"

Putting down the tea bowl, he stood up and said to Sun Wuji, "Are you trying to say that His Majesty is guarding himself?"

"If that's the case, there's no way to investigate this case. The child also had such thoughts, but this is too absurd."

"Know chess?"

"The kind of chess game that Li Zheng made?"

"A chess game full of wisdom. The old man can't understand how a kid in his teens can design such an interesting chess game. There is a way in chess called abandoning the car to protect the handsome man. This is what the old man heard from the officials in the court. I heard it at the time, whether or not His Majesty is guarding himself against this incident, the Emperor will never make a mistake."

"Never make a mistake?"

"Sarcasm, the emperor is always right." Changsun Wuji looked in the direction of the palace, "Pieces other than generals can be used as discarded pieces, so we still need to check and check to the end."

After listening to Changsun Wuji's words, Changsun Chong bowed and said, "My child understands."

For the next few days, Xu Jingzong kept people watching Chang Sun Chong's movements.

All eyeliners in Chang'an City are watching Chang Sun Chong's every move. The number of journalist organizations today is not huge, and it's okay to keep an eye on a few people.

He did not notice Chang Sun Chong's other actions, but issued a decree from the court.

Duan Lun, the servant of the Ministry of War, neglected his duties while stationing in the Turkic camp, which resulted in the loss of the Turkic camp. Your Majesty benevolently recited his past military exploits, exempted him from the death penalty, abolished all his positions in the Ministry of War, and sent him to the Hongwen Museum to see the effect!
His Majesty's punishment for Duan Lun was finally settled, and a cripple with a broom on the side of the street stared at the notice and was stunned.

Pedestrians on the street did not see the complicated expression on the lame man's face, nor did they realize that this man was the blood of the recently defeated Turkic royal family, the former king Ashina of the North Desert Xueyantuo.

For the sake of Duan Lun's previous military exploits, His Majesty spared Duan Lun's life.

In the final analysis, it was only for the sake of Duan Lun being the son-in-law of the Supreme Emperor.

The royal family's relative is also a son-in-law. Now His Majesty will not take Duan Lun's life, but there is a possibility of reactivating it.

Ashina smiled bitterly, it has been a while since he came to Chang'an, and he lives by sweeping the floor like this every day, but he can have a mouthful of warm food, and go to the book dealers every day to look for books to read.

This kind of life makes Ashina feel very at ease, at least he doesn't have to face the spittle of the Turkic tribe.

There are not many people who know me in Chang'an, and I can speak Central Plains dialect fluently.

Rather than returning to Turkic Ashina, I would rather stay in Chang'an. My heart is ashamed, and I don't have much courage in this life.

In a restaurant in Chang'an, Duan Lun and Yan Qinli are drinking.

Yan Qinli was in a good mood, and had just taken up the post of Zuoshu Lang.

"After so many years of hard work in the Hongwen Museum, Brother Yan has lived a good life. I would like to toast you." Duan Lun raised his glass and said.

"Where is it? Fortunately, His Majesty did not punish him severely, even though the dismissed official position may still be used in the future." Yan Qinli replied.

Several descendants of aristocratic families came from a distance, and now that Yan Qinli became the new author, he naturally gained the attention of many descendants of aristocratic families.

Duan Lun introduced them to each other with a smile, so many people wanted to get close to Yan Qinli through Duan Lun.

Yan Qinli didn't have many friends, Duan Lun was Yan Qinli's better friend, they talked about everything, if they wanted to get close to Yan Qinli, it would be good to make friends with Duan Lun.

Duan Lun's goal is not to be the offspring of the sect, but just like Li Zheng ordered, to get in touch with the direct descendants of the aristocratic family.
