Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 453 King Jianning's Net

Naturally, Wang Chengwei and the others rushed over after receiving the news from Shan Tao's game.

Originally, they were having a banquet in the restaurant in Anyifang, but upon receiving news from Shan Tao, they rushed to Jingzhao Mansion without stopping.

At the gate of the government office, when Shan Tao mobilized Cui Guangyuan's government soldiers and told Wang Chengwei that he was trapped, the players were filled with righteous indignation.

But none of them are general players, so how can they go up there and work hard?
Wang Chengwei quickly thought of a way. He walked up to the Yamen, picked up a hammer and beat the Dengwen drum.

With the sound of Dengwen's drum, the people around Jingzhao Mansion surrounded them.

After all, Dengwengu has not thought about it for several years, and it is human nature to watch the excitement.

Then there was the scene where Wang Chengwei asked Jing Zhaoyin to thoroughly investigate the murder case in the courtroom.

At this moment, Cui Guangyuan felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

The people in the hall are all scholars who have just finished the imperial examination, and Wang Chengwei is still a popular candidate for Jinshi.

Although they are not officials, they should be dealt with more cautiously than officials.

Whether to play these ten boards or not, and how to play, are all problems Cui Guangyuan faces.

What was even more troublesome was the corpse in front of Wu Zuo's room.

Donggong Zhonglang died in Jingzhao Mansion like this, how could Donggong let it go.

Such a big pot must be carried by himself.

It is really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky!
Cui Guangyuan was extremely regretful, why did Shan Tao, a killer, be allowed to patrol the streets?

Is this guy really desperate?Because of a case, he wanted to kill the envoy of the Eastern Palace.

Cui Guangyuan really couldn't step down now.

When Cui Guangyuan was in a dilemma, the staff around him came up and asked:

"Da Yin, how do you play with this board?"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "The country has an order to beat Dengwen's drum stick ten times, but since you are the pillars of the country, this punishment will be avoided."

"However, arresting the murderer is the business of the Jingzhao Mansion. It's not something you can talk about if it's a secret. Leave quickly!"

After saying all this, Cui Guangyuan will leave the room to deal with the troubles of the roommate.

Unexpectedly, this Wang Chengwei said:
"Beating the Dengwen Drum requires ten strokes of the staff. This is the iron law of the Tang Dynasty. I am willing to accept the crime if I break the law! I also invite Dayin to execute!"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned, are you so stubborn?
This Wang Chengwei even fell down all of a sudden.

This was the first time Cui Guangyuan saw someone begging to play the board.

This time, Cui Guangyuan also became angry. He was a senior member of the fourth rank after all, but he was persecuted by his subordinates patrolling the streets and scholars without any fame.

Cui Guangyuan picked up the token and said to the yamen servant: "In this case, execute!"

Then he said to his staff: "Just hit it lightly."

The yamen servants in Jingzhao Mansion are very good at beating people. They can beat people to death with one stick.

You can also swing the stick and make noises, but the buttocks are only wounded.

This time the yamen servant didn't dare to hit him again, he just patted him ten times lightly, and then hurriedly called it a day.

But the yamen servant beat him lightly, but Wang Chengwei and a group of scholars were wailing in the hall, and Wang Chengwei spit out a mouthful of blood.

Is it so imaginary?
Don't work so hard!

Cui Guangyuan was even more annoyed, if this guy died in court, he would be miserable!

Immediately afterwards, the gang supported each other and walked out from the gate of the court.

When the onlookers saw this group of scholars coming out in disgrace, Wang Chengwei, the leader, kept vomiting blood, and they were terrified.

Then Wang Chengwei vomited blood and explained to the people that he beat the Dengwen drum, and the people cheered even more because of a brothel woman complaining about the injustice.

This kind of murder of a talented man and a beautiful woman, with a suspenseful color, is the best topic after dinner.

The two cases that had already lost their heat have been heated up again.

At the same time, in the Pipa Walk in Anyifang, a new play is being staged.

This time it is a newly adapted suspense drama series. It is about the love between a brothel woman and a nobleman. Originally, the nobleman wanted to redeem the woman, but the woman was brutally hurt.

After one performance, the response was very good. Pipa Xing performed eight performances a day, and Cheng Ji, who played the role of the brothel girl, was exhausted to death.

Cui Guangyuan didn't know that the public opinion outside had become like this, he hurried to Wuzuo's room, looked at Shan Tao who was imprisoned beside him, and saw Wu Cou's body on the ground, he almost spit out blood.

He walked in front of Shan Tao, wishing to eat this guy's tone and asked:

"You dare to kill General Zhonglang of the East Palace on the spot, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"

Unexpectedly, Shan Tao said very calmly: "Da Yin said that he is the general of the East Palace, do you have evidence?"

"This?"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned.

evidence?

When Wu Chun came, he took the greeting card from the East Palace, but did not show the token.

Of course Cui Guangyuan knew that what Wu Cou came to do was a private matter, so it was naturally impossible to reveal his identity.

Otherwise, he would not have only two subordinates and be killed by Shan Tao on the spot.

Shan Tao said again: "In that case, please send the thief's head to the East Palace, and ask if this is the General Zhonglang of the East Palace?"

"If it's really an official ordered by the imperial court, I don't need to do anything with the governor, I will directly take the blame and kill myself!"

This time, Cui Guangyuan was finally sober.

This guy is definitely not an ordinary person!

Cui Guangyuan knew that if Wu Cou's head was sent to the East Palace, the East Palace would most likely not recognize his identity.

The Suzaku Bridge case is sensitive, if it is sent to the head with great fanfare, wouldn't Donggong himself admit that he has something to do with the Suzaku Bridge case?

The corpse was hidden under the Zhuque Bridge where the emperor had to go back to Luan, so what should he hide next time?Hidden knife and axe?

This is a political issue that is so sensitive that it can't be any more sensitive, that's why Wu Chun came here to mention it in a low-key manner.

Cui Guangyuan was just treacherous, not stupid. He immediately understood that Donggong's role in the murder must be disgraceful.

It was not Donggong who killed Wu Cou, at this juncture, Donggong could only grit his teeth and hold back.

But such a strategy, with such a clear judgment on the current situation of the court, how could it be a street patrol?

If all the patrol envoys of the Tang Dynasty were like this, wouldn't the world be peaceful.

Cui Guangyuan regained his sense of judgment. He squinted his eyes at Shan Tao and asked, "Who are you?"

Shan Tao now understands that his plan of putting himself to death and rebirth has succeeded.

For a "smart person" like Cui Guangyuan, you are not afraid that he thinks too much, but that he thinks too little.

Shan Tao understands that if Cui Guangyuan knows that there is another way, then he can change from an enemy to a friend.

Shan Tao said indifferently: "I am the inner guard under the command of King Jianning."

When King Jianning said the words, Cui Guangyuan only felt that everything made sense.

Now Donggong and King Nanyang are fighting for the throne, but King Jianning is the most powerful prince in Longyou.

Cui Guangyuan only felt that his whole body was cold. He hadn't been able to take refuge in the crown prince yet, but he was involved in seizing the heir?

Hearing Shan Tao's wink, Cui Guangyuan still hesitated for a moment, and repelled the people on the left and right.

Shan Tao said to Cui Guangyuan: "Da Yin, do you think Donggong will believe you if you explain to Donggong that Wu Cou's death has nothing to do with you?"

Cui Guangyuan was stunned, Wu Cou was the Zhonglang General led by the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace, he was not an ordinary general at the bottom.

A high-quality military general died in Jingzhao Mansion for no apparent reason. In the end, Jingzhao Mansion made a low-level street patrol envoy plead guilty. Donggong must have felt humiliated.

Shan Tao continued: "This matter has nothing to do with Dayin, why should the East Palace be responsible for nothing?"

Cui Guangyuan sneered and said, "Smart words, come here, and put Shan Tao in jail!"

Originally, Cui Guangyuan wanted to personally escort Shan Tao to the East Palace to make amends, but now after hearing Shan Tao's words, Cui Guangyuan just ordered his subordinates to put Shan Tao in prison, and did not send him off immediately.

It's just that Cui Guangyuan didn't expect that the development of the situation far exceeded his estimation, and King Jianning didn't give him too much time to choose sides.

The next day, Dali Temple issued a letter asking about the progress of the Zhuqueqiao murder case in Jingzhao Mansion, and reprimanded Jingzhao Mansion for its lack of progress in the investigation of the case so far.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites asked about seventeen Longyou scholars who were punished for beating Dengwen drums in Jingzhao Mansion.

The Ministry of Rituals severely reprimanded the Jingzhao Mansion for being too harsh on the talents and young talents of these countries. It is said that Wang Chengwei, the head of the seventeen sons of Longyou, has already been bedridden in the Longyou Guild Hall and has no way to get out of bed.

Cui Guangyuan spat out a mouthful of blood, he just hit ten sticks symbolically, how could it be like this!

Thinking of Wang Chengwei's hometown, Cui Guangyuan suddenly woke up again.

Cui Guangyuan only felt like a flying insect got into the big web woven by the spider.

This feeling of being led by the nose is really terrible.

Another day later, rumors spread throughout Chang'an that the case of the woman's corpse at Zhuqueqiao and Jinggongfang were all related to the East Palace. Longyou scholar who asked for orders from the people.

Another day later, the new Luoyang stayer Zhang Xun sent a private letter, saying that Shan Tao was a great contributor to the Battle of Suiyang and Luoyang's recovery, and was on the list of meritorious officials in Luoyang.

Shan Tao was indifferent to fame and wealth, and came to Chang'an as a small official. Zhang Xun sincerely asked Cui Guangyuan for leniency.

Although Zhang Xun, the left-behind in Luoyang, is half a rank lower than Cui Guangyuan, 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 Miaohong.

Now Cui Guangyuan couldn't hold back at all. He never thought that such a case would let him see the terrifying power of King Jianning in Guanzhong.

Cui Guangyuan didn't hesitate at all when he thought of King Jianning's terrible layout in the two capitals, who lived in Longyou.

He opened the prison in Jingzhao Mansion, invited Shan Tao out respectfully, and appointed him to investigate the two murder cases at Zhuqueqiao and Jinggongfang.

At the same time, the body of Wu Cou, who "pretended" as the general of the East Palace, was sent back to the East Palace.

Cui Guangyuan, who had accepted the certificate of honor, only felt that his whole body was exhausted. The difficulty of this horizontal jump was too great, and if he was not careful, he would be in the abyss.
