Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1575 Shocking News
After Prince Li Chengqian got the evidence collected by Fang Liang, his face became very ugly.

He didn't expect that a small county magistrate would be greedy for so much money, and even bribed many officials in Chang'an City.

This kind of behavior is simply too dangerous for Datang.

If this kind of thing is allowed to continue, and the entire Tang Dynasty is full of moths like Zhao Bao, then wouldn't this Tang Dynasty be riddled with holes?

If officials are all about money, they won't do things for the people.

After the nine princesses said those words, Li Chengqian nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, I will send someone to investigate this matter. If this matter is absolutely true, I will never forgive these people lightly."

Regarding this, Princess Jiu didn't think much about it, and after talking to Li Chengqian, he withdrew.

Princess Jiu left, Li Chengqian immediately ordered: "Send someone to investigate this matter."

Although there is evidence sent by the Nine Princesses, Fang Liang was almost killed, but now Li Chengqian is very cautious while being angry. decided to come.

After he gave this order, immediately some spies led the order to retreat.

On the side of the East Palace, there was no movement for the time being.

In Changsun Wuji's house, someone soon told Changsun Wuji about the situation. After Changsun Wuji heard it, he waited quietly for news from the East Palace.

But for several days in a row, he didn't wait, which made him a little uneasy.

"Master Changsun, Li Chengqian should have obtained Fang Liang's evidence, why hasn't he done anything yet?"

Changsun Wuji looked calm, stroking his beard with one hand, and said after a while: "Fang Liang's evidence involves five officials in the capital, and the status of these five officials in the court is not low, even if Li Chengqian got it As for the evidence, he has to hesitate for a moment. At the beginning, he could do what Zhang Yuan did desperately because it involved human life. Now these court officials are just greedy for ink. It depends on what Li Chengqian thinks, let's just wait."

In Changsun Wuji's view, Li Chengqian just hesitated, but the real situation is that Li Chengqian is still waiting for his people to confirm the news.

But at this moment, Han Lao was very disturbed.

His adopted son Wu Yan was sent by him to assassinate Fang Liang, but Fang Liang was not killed, and he lost his life instead.

What's more serious is that right after Wu Yan was killed, the yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion acted quickly, carried the body to the mansion yamen, and began to send people to investigate the ins and outs of the matter.

They have already investigated Fang Liang, and have gone to the Qin Mansion to inquire about Fang Liang's situation. The people in the Jingzhao Mansion are basically sure that Wu Yan is a killer assassin.

People from Jingzhao Mansion are speechless in their investigation of the assassin. If he is investigated, then his situation will be very bad, right?
In addition to this, Fang Liang's evidence has been sent to Li Chengqian. If His Highness the Crown Prince is angry, his future will be completely ruined.

Either way, if either worked, life was hard for him.

But now, he has nothing else to do except to wipe out your evidence as much as possible.

Maybe there is, that is to wait, wait for Li Chengqian's reaction, and wait for the result of Jingzhao Mansion.
-
The matter in Shanyang County is still easy to investigate, but because it is a little far away from Chang'an City, it will take more time.

A few days later, the people sent by Prince Li Chengqian finally rushed back.

"Prince investigation, everything has been investigated clearly. The evidence brought by Fang Liang is all true. This Zhao Bao kept greedy for money in Shanyang County, and then used the money to honor the officials in the capital. Get some benefits."

The spies told the situation in detail, Li Chengqian sat and listened, and as the spies talked more and more, his face became more and more ugly.

After the spies finished speaking, Li Chengqian said two words: moths.

That's right, in his opinion, the officials who dare to be greedy for money are moths, and these moths will eat up the entire Tang Dynasty. They have been greedy for ink in the Tang Dynasty before, and his father just punished them a little bit, and they can't Let it go.

But in his opinion, this kind of punishment is too light, these officials don't feel pain at all, so how can they have a long memory?
In the evidence sent by Fang Liang, there were five Beijing officials involved, and the identities of these five Beijing officials were similar to those of Zhang Yuan and the others.

After thinking about it, Li Chengqian made a decision.

"Come here, go and escort Zhao Bao to Chang'an City for the Crown Prince. Also, people like Han Lao are also imprisoned by the Crown Prince."

He dared to attack Zhang Yuan's dandy sons before, but now he dares to attack these officials who are corrupt and bribed. To him, they are only five Beijing officials. He might as well take this opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys, and see later, Who dares to covet his Datang's money.

After the order went on like this, some yamen servants were ordered to retreat soon. In the afternoon of this day, Han Lao, the five Beijing officials who had colluded with Zhao Bao, were arrested by Li Chengqian and put into prison.

And just after Han Lao and the others were taken into prison, Changsun Wuji got the news immediately.

After Changsun Wuji heard the news, he immediately showed a slight smile. If he hadn't restrained himself, he might have jumped up excitedly.

He knew that Li Chengqian still hadn't restrained his temper, and wanted to use the previous fierce methods to solve this ink corruption and bribery case.

From Li Chengqian's point of view, there are only five officials in the capital. Is there any difficulty in executing them?
However, since this was set up by his eldest grandson Wuji, how could this matter be resolved so easily?

Those five Beijing officials were just baits and lures. As long as Li Chengqian moved the five baits, many small fish and even big fish would fall out.

At that time, with so many people who were greedy and bribed, he wanted to see how Li Chengqian would deal with it. After offending so many people, would he be able to offend them?
And if nothing happened, then what he did before will only be criticized by others.

This is a deadlock set against Li Chengqian. With Li Chengqian's current morality, it is almost impossible to break it.

From Changsun Wuji's point of view, Li Chengqian is already on the verge of riding a tiger. No matter what decision he makes, it is not a good thing for him, and what they will do next is what loyal ministers should do. matter.

Thinking of himself being an uncle who cheated his nephew so much, Changsun Wuji suddenly couldn't help but sighed.

"Li Chengqian, don't blame uncle."
