Marry Changle in Datang

Wang Gui's concubine was crying and talking, maybe she was still thinking about what happened at night, so she passed out while talking.

Seeing this, Ji Wen immediately ordered Marquis Wu who was accompanying him to control all the surviving people in the mansion, and after the concubine was in a stable mood and the yamen's headhunter and Wu Zuo came, he would find out about this place, and there was Ask questions after preliminary emotional cognition.

After Ji Wen stayed in Wang Gui's mansion for about half a stick of incense, the servants of Jingzhao Yin's mansion, Wu Zuo and dozens of Marquis Wu arrived together.

The movement of Nuoda in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion in the early morning alarmed the people who got up early in Chang'an City. Everyone didn't know what happened in Chang'an City.

The people who came here found that Marquis Wu had closed several streets around the palace under martial law. They heard the news from the surrounding people that someone had been killed in the palace at night. Chang'an City is well known to everyone.

After hearing the news, Changsun Wuji, Zhang Gongjin, Wang Yuting and others immediately believed that it was Qin Wenyuan's doing. They were all terrified of Xu Tian's thunderous means, for fear that Xu Tian's next target of revenge would be himself.

Changsun Wuji was a little frightened, he had a wife, children and dozens of servants who had followed him for many years in his "Duke Zhao's Mansion", how could he withstand such a blow, this fellow thought for a long time in the mansion, and called out his son, Changsun Chong commanded.

"The killing of Chong'er and Wang Gui's family is because my father thought that the thief Xu Tian must have done it. I thought that because my father and that boy had a great feud, maybe this thief would come to my eldest grandson's house one day. Chong'er needs to make preparations early, and in the near future, more people with high martial arts skills will be found in the mansion to act as guards, so that father can feel at ease."

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely settle this matter. If Xu Tian dares to harm my eldest grandson's family, my son will definitely not let that guy live a good life."

After listening to his son's words of common hatred and hatred, Changsun Wuji smiled with satisfaction, and then said again.

"For my father, I will go up to the court to hear the news of the dead man in Wang Gui's family!"

After speaking, Changsun Wuji went back to his room and asked his wife to change into court clothes for him. With a gloomy face, he ordered the guards at home to put on a carriage and go to the palace.

……

Taiji Palace Taiji Hall, at this time Li Shimin was listening to Zhou Shaofan, the head of the Detective Cavalry Department, secretly reporting that Wang Gui's mansion was destroyed.

Zhou Shaofan will tell the emperor one by one from the spies under his command and what he has learned from Jiwen of Jingzhaoyin Mansion.

"The emperor and Wang Gui were beheaded by someone before dawn. The guards and family members in the mansion were all wiped out. The rest of the servants didn't know what happened at night. Wang Gui's concubine said that she was unconscious and killed for some reason. He was tied up, and when he woke up, he saw that Wang Gui's head was in a different place. Mr. Ji asked everyone in the mansion, and the answer he got was that he didn't know who did it. No clues have been found in the work and arrest of the head in Jingzhao Yin's mansion. This minister thought that the perpetrators were definitely not in the minority and they had planned it long ago, so that they did this daring thing without leaving any traces."

"Where is Qin Wenyuan's son now?"

After Zhou Shaofan finished playing the situation, he suddenly heard the emperor's question, and his heart trembled suddenly. Could it be that the emperor suspected that Xu Tian also did this?Although I also thought so when I received the news, Zhou Shaofan didn't dare to talk nonsense without evidence, and that Xu Tian was not a kind person who was easy to get along with, so it would be best not to mess with him. …

"Qin Wenyuan and County Magistrate Liu worked together to kill the eggs in Chang'an County and never left half a step."

Zhou Shaofan replied in panic.

Hearing Zhou Shaofan's answer, Li Shimin heaved a long sigh and continued.

"You continue this matter, pay special attention to Qin Wenyuan's every move recently, go!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

After Zhou Shaofan resigned, Li Shimin groaned after pondering for a while.

"Chuan Jiwen, Imperial Censor Wei Siqian, Dali Temple Shaoqing Sun Fujia, Qianniuwei General Cheng Yaojin, Zuowuwei General Sun Wuji, Right Wuwei General Wei Chi Jingde, and Forbidden Army Commander Zhang Gongjin come to see me quickly. "

Eunuch Liu, the eunuch, heard the emperor's call, and hurried forward to reply.

"The old slave is passing on the decree, please wait a moment, the emperor."

……

At this moment in Wang Gui's mansion, Ji Wen felt inexplicable fear at the sight of Wang Gui's tragic decapitation. Judging from the situation of the people killed in the mansion, this incident was a long-planned and targeted vendetta. From the wounds on the deceased's body, there are hardly any clues. They were all killed by steel knives and arrows. The only discovery is that these fatal wounds all showed that the assailant was proficient in using weapons. No traces of muddy water.

This discovery made Jiwen sure that these killers must be members of the army, and they are the elite of the army. They can bring the generals and soldiers into the city of Chang'an without being discovered by the guards and complete the killing. The task of dozens of people from Wang Gui's family, who is the leader this time, is holy. Ji Wen dare not speak nonsense, but he has some thoughts in his heart, but there is no evidence...

Thinking of this, Ji Wen hurriedly sent Marquis Wu to the four gates of Chang'an City to order to strengthen the search for suspicious people in Chang'an City, and at the same time secretly ordered his confidants to secretly observe the entry and exit of "Qi Guogong Mansion" personnel, and told them not to be discovered by people in the Xu Mansion , otherwise life is in danger.

Putting away the fear of people being killed in Wang Gui's mansion, Ji Wen was about to go to the palace to report the incident to the emperor. Knowing what happened in Wang Gui's mansion, he confessed a few words to the Marquis Wu general here, and then rode to the palace immediately.

When Ji Wen arrived at the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace, he saw several ministers standing under the Jinluan with dignified expressions.

"Your Majesty and my ministers have a book to play!"

"Did Ji Aiqing report the killing of Wang Gui? Please tell me the details of Wang Gui's mansion."

Li Shimin said with a gloomy expression.

"I complied with the decree! The killing of Wang Gui and dozens of people in the mansion should have happened before dawn. According to the news that Wang Gui's concubine and the surviving people in the mansion were not allowed to be any perpetrators, according to the news in the afternoon Examining the shape of the wounds of the deceased, it doesn't look like a vendetta. The fatal blow seems to be done by elite soldiers who have been in battle. However, there is no evidence left in Wang Gui's mansion to prove whether the inference of the minister is valid. , Wei Chen has also ordered the guards of Chang'an City to strictly investigate the suspicious people who left the city, and sent arresters to scout around for information, to see if they can find any clues to prove whether it is what Wei Chen thinks."

After listening to Ji Wen's report, Li Shimin and the ministers in the palace looked even more dignified. Imagine if what Ji Wen said was true, then where did these sergeants who came to kill enter Chang'an City?Doesn't this mean that the safety of the palace and the safety of the ministers in the city cannot be guaranteed, so the many forbidden troops, Qianniuwei, and Wuhou in Chang'an City have become decorations. …

When the emperor and the ministers were thinking about this serious issue, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the palace, and an old voice cried out with grief and indignation.

"Your Majesty! It's the old minister Wang Yu who is asking to see His Majesty."

Hearing that it was Wang Yu shouting outside the hall, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered the eunuch to go outside the hall and help Wang Yu into the hall.

Don't dare to be careless about this veteran Li Shimin. This minister named Wang Yu is the husband of his father Li Yuan's sister, Princess Tong'an. Princess Tong'an's mother, Dugu, is Li Yuan's mother and Li Shimin's imperial grandmother. When the country was founded, Princess Tong'an was named the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty by Li Yuan. After Li Shimin succeeded to the throne, in order to have a different title from Li Xiuning, she was bestowed the title of Princess Tong'an.

Wang Yu was helped into the palace by the eunuchs. A young eunuch had served him with a brocade stool, but the old man bypassed the brocade stool and knelt down on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty wants to make the decision for the old minister! Thinking of my nephew Wang Gui's decapitated death, the old minister begged the emperor to catch the murderous thief in ten thousand pieces and kill the whole family. Only in this way can we solve the problem." The old minister's hatred...cough...cough..."

Just as the old man coughed because of his haste, Li Yuan's eunuch shouted again outside the hall.

"The slave asks to see the emperor and upload the Supreme Emperor's oral order!"

Li Shimin heard the eunuch outside the hall shouting to convey his father's oral order, and frowned and shouted loudly.

"noise!"

But after seeing an old eunuch with white eyebrows enter the hall, he knelt down beside Wang Yu and played respectfully.

"The old slave paid homage to the emperor, and the emperor ordered the old slave to deliver an oral order, asking the emperor to catch the thief who killed the Wang family and give an explanation to Princess Tong'an."

After saying this, the old eunuch left immediately without waiting for Li Shimin's reply. Looking at Wang Yu who was still kneeling on the ground, Li Shimin spoke softly.

"My lord, please be flat. I will catch the culprits and execute them all as you wish. Please sit down for a while and go back to the mansion to rest!"

When the words fell, Li Shimin motioned to the eunuchs around him to help Wang Yu sit on the brocade stool, and at the same time cast a stern glance at the several ministers in the hall who were responsible for the security of Chang'an City and protecting the safety of Chang'an City.

Yin Jiwen of the Jingzhaoyin Mansion, Wei Siqian, the royal historian, Dai Wei, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Cheng Yaojin, General Qianniuwei, Sun Wuji, General Zuowuwei, Wei Chi Jingde, General Youwuwei, and Zhang Gongjin, Commander of the Forbidden Army. Sweeping over themselves, several people knelt down one after another and wanted to plead guilty to the emperor for not doing enough to protect Chang'an City. Cheng Yaojin knelt, but he was dissatisfied in his heart that the old man Wang Yu used his relationship with Li Yuan to force the emperor to express his opinion in this palace. He couldn't help but glared at the old man and let out a soft "hum".

The sound of "humming" was very harsh in the quiet hall at this time. How could Li Shimin not know what Cheng Yaojin was thinking? He pretended not to hear Wang Yu when he saw Wang Yu. He didn't want to blame Wang Gui's subordinates who had followed him for many years, but he had to act like an emperor and explain everything to everyone, so as not to cause uneasiness caused by the killing of Wang Gui by the court ministers , A stable political situation is currently the only focus of Datang.

Li Shimin gave Cheng Yaojin a hard look and said immediately.

"Everyone, love yourselves, the case of Wang Gui's murder will be investigated by Yin Jiwen of the Jingzhao Yin Prefecture. After the thief is caught, it will be handed over to Wei Siqian, the imperial historian, Dai Wei, the young minister of Dali Temple, and the third division of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. General Yuchi and Changsun Qing's family are temporarily in charge of guarding the gate. In the near future, suspicious people entering and leaving Chang'an City will be strictly investigated. Cheng Aiqing's Qianniuwei will assist Chang'an City Marquis Wu to strengthen security patrols in Chang'an City to ensure that similar incidents will not happen again in Chang'an City. event."…

"I will obey the emperor's orders! I will live up to the emperor's entrustment."

All the ministers agreed in unison, and Du Jiwen was frowning. The emperor who arrested and killed Wang Gui and handed over to him the full responsibility is not a good job. Looking at the thief's method of killing Wang's family this time, how can he do it? Find the murderer, even if you find yourself, do you have the ability to bring these murderers to justice?
After all the ministers resigned, Li Shimin sent Wang Yu away with gentle words, and came to the Lizheng Hall of Yeting Palace in a sullen mood. Seeing her husband frowning, Empress Changsun asked with concern.

"Erlang has something to worry about, can you talk to your concubine and listen to it?"

"Hey! It's not about Wang Gui being killed. Today, Wang Yu asked me to make the decision for him. Even my father ordered me to catch the murderer quickly and kill the murderer. I thought it was so easy to do. Is it? According to Ji Wen’s report, it seems to be the work of the elite in the army, how many people can have this ability in Chang’an City, it’s hard to handle!”

"The concubine listened to Erlang, but suspected what that boy Qin Wenyuan did?"

"I'm afraid I'm not the only one who suspects this, but I can't figure out why the boy would be so cruel in killing Wang Gui. Could it be that Wang Gui participated in the attack on that boy last time?"

In fact, Li Shimin had already guessed the general situation of the incident, but he was not sure. The husband and wife were thinking about this matter in the palace, but Li Shimin was already vaguely sure that Qin Wenyuan ordered his subordinates to do it, but this kid As cunning as a demon, he does things without leaving any traces, even for a while he can't help himself.

Ji Wen led his highness back to the government office and urgently summoned Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, the most prestigious headhunters in the capital, to come to the Yamen to negotiate. Wen Ping retired from the yamen servants in the mansion and ordered the two to focus on the personal guards of the "Duke of Qi's mansion" when they were investigating the murderer of Wang Gui's murder. The two said with a serious look behind them.

"My lord, the Qin family's guards are not easy to mess with. If there is no definite evidence, once the Qin family finds out that we are secretly investigating them, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous!"

Hearing what the two said, Ji Wen was also terrified of the matter, but thinking that the emperor had to entrust this matter to him and had to do it, he was really worried.

"Then what should we do? The emperor entrusted this matter to me. I can only place my hope on the two of you. Based on my intuition, this matter must have something to do with the Qin family. If we don't focus on Qin I am afraid that the eucalyptus will not be found out in the year of the monkey."

"How about it, my lord, in the near future we will still try our best to find the murderer of this case. We will also send people to closely monitor the Xu residence. If we can't find out why, why don't we wait for the two of us to spend some money and find someone to make up some excuses to cover the crime. Try to end this case as soon as possible, so that my lord can achieve the emperor's will, and my brothers and I will not offend the Xu family and cause death."

"Is the idea of ​​the two of you okay? If such behavior is exposed, it will be a serious crime of beheading."

Hearing what Zhang Long and Zhao Hu said, Ji Wen shuddered and said in a low voice.
