People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1004 One fake letter, countless lives
Li Xuan stood in the middle hall, looking from Gao Qi to Gao Wei, with a stern look on his face.

"Now, I got an autographed letter from the crown prince Zuo Shuzi from Gao Wei. After the agreement is completed, he will be given a position as the prince's wife. And the prince's wife in the East Palace happens to be transferred soon, so everything is connected. Woke up."

Li Xuan looked at Gao Wei and said softly: "I gave you a chance, but you never said anything about that person, so... Brother Huaiying, how should the crime be punished according to law?"

"Thinking of murdering the prime minister of the dynasty will be hanged according to the law."

Di Renjie's cold eyes fell on Gao Shenxing, and he said with great indifference: "The Minister of Household Affairs, Gao Shenxing, was not strict in his education and was demoted."

Gao Shenxing couldn't help but staggered back several steps, bumped into a pillar, and then stopped, with a sad expression on his face.

Di Renjie looked at Gao Zhenxing again and continued: "General Youwei..."

"You bastard, you are talking, who gave you this letter?" Gao Zhenxing rushed over, grabbed Gao Wei's shoulders, and shook him hard, his face full of anxiety and anger.

"Fourth brother." Gao Qi walked to Gao Wei's side, knelt down with a bang, and said with a painful expression: "Fourth brother, no matter what happens, you can say that there is no need to fight for others, because this You can’t bear the crime, neither can the Gao family, no one can bear it.”

Gao Wei suddenly raised his head and looked at Gao Qi with disbelief on his face.

When Di Renjie saw this scene, he immediately looked at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan sighed and shook her head slightly.

There is no doubt that Gao Wei believes that others will save his life in the end.

As long as he can survive, the rewards in the future will be extremely generous.

But if, if that person completely regarded him as an abandoned son, and even pushed him hard to his death at the last moment, then there would only be a noose waiting for Gao Wei.

Lowering his head, Gao Wei gritted his teeth and said, "It was Shang Nian who served Zhao Bin. Ten days ago, he had two drinks with me in Pingkangfang and chatted for a few words. Finally, after he left, the wine This is the letter left under the pot."

"Zhao Bin, a descendant of the Zhao family in Hedong, is the emperor of Shangyuan, and the son-in-law of Zhang Da'an, the prince's concubine." Gao Qi read out Zhao Bin's identity subconsciously, his face looking terribly ugly.

The breathing of everyone present also became completely heavy in an instant.

Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Brother Huaiying, you should immediately lead two teams of Qianniu Guards to arrest Zhao Bin. Be careful and be quick, be careful of someone killing him and silencing him."

"Here!" Di Renjie immediately handed over his hands and walked quickly outside.

Li Xuan glanced at Zhou Qian, who immediately handed him over and followed quickly.

……

In the lobby, Li Xuan walked to Gao Qi's side and did not look at him. He just looked at the door of Duke Shen's mansion opposite and said softly: "Brother Gao, I have one last question for you. When you were in the East Palace, did you see Have you been to Zhao Bin?"

Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his head to look at Li Xuan and said, "I've seen him before, not many. Every time, when His Majesty comes to the East Palace, Zhao Bin is accompanied by Shang Chaan."

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "So, someone took advantage of Zhao Bin."

"Use?" Everyone in the lobby looked surprised, not understanding what Li Xuan was talking about.

Li Xuan turned around and walked to Gao Wei's side, patted his shoulder with her left hand, and said softly: "The most pitiable person is you. Just a false promise has become a tool for others to use, and you will even be used for it in the future." And die.”

"False." Gao Wei accurately captured Li Xuan's subtext, raised his head, looked at Li Xuan with disbelief, and said: "Didn't Zhang Daan want to give me the position of Prince Sacrifice from the beginning? At the beginning , he’s going to sacrifice me?”

Gao Wei's words made Gao Zhenxing and Gao Shenxing change their expressions at the same time.

If Zhang Daan is really planning this behind his back, then the entire Bohai Gao family will have trouble with him.

Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said softly: "The problem is not with Zuo Shuzi, because this matter has nothing to do with him from the beginning. Someone took advantage of Zhao Bin and at the same time forged a fake letter to deceive you, who is everything." You are a fool who doesn’t understand.”

"Fake letter?" Gao Wei opened his mouth in surprise. He suddenly grabbed the corner of Li Xuan's clothes and asked hurriedly: "The prince said, is that letter a fake?"

"Of course it's a fake?" Li Xuan took the letter back from Gao Qi's hand, turned around and handed it to Gao Shenxing, and said: "Gao Shilang has been in the Ministry of Finance all year round, and those tricks in the Granary of the Ministry of Finance... Gao Shilang should be familiar with it, and touch the bottom of each word with your fingers."

Gao Shenxing's expression immediately changed. After taking the paper, he carefully touched it. Layers of microscopic marks invisible to the naked eye appeared underneath.

"What exactly?" Gao Zhenxing looked at Gao Shenxing with a stern expression.

Gao Shenxing raised his head, shook his head with an ugly expression, and said, "Brother, please ask someone to find some grass ashes."

Gao Zhenxing's face turned solemn, and he immediately waved his hand to the side. Soon, the butler had left quickly. Just sixty breaths later, the butler had returned from another place holding an incense burner. Finally, he put the incense burner aside. On the table.

Gao Shenxing twisted some incense ash, then sprinkled it directly on the paper, and finally blew it gently. The next moment, more than a dozen traces of up and down marks appeared in front of everyone...

"This is the method used by the secretaries to hide the remnants of the prince. I happened to be handling the case at the time, so this time I knew what was going on as soon as I got the paper." Li Xuan said calmly.

"Then Prince, still..." Gao Zhenxing's face was full of dissatisfaction.

Since Li Xuan already knew that this letter was fake, why did he still wake up Gao Qi from the East Palace.

Li Xuan glanced sideways at Gao Zhenxing and said calmly: "Because I don't know whether this letter was forged by someone else or by the Crown Prince Zuo Shuzi?"

Gao Zhenxing was stunned for a moment.

Instantly, a burst of ice enveloped the whole body. "Uncle Shi." Li Xuan looked at Pei Judao and said directly: "Uncle Shi, please use the power of the Ministry of Justice to investigate all the literati, craftsmen, and officials in the court who are proficient in mounting paintings in Chang'an. Catch those who can, and those who cannot. Write a list and I will personally visit you."

"Here!" Pei Judao immediately raised his hands solemnly, then turned and left.

Li Xuan walked to the door of the main hall in front, faced the setting sun, looked at the letter in his hand, and said softly: "Such a letter is not so easy to get. There are only a few people and a few forces in Chang'an who can It can be done.”

Prince Chongwen Hall, Hongwen Hall, Secretary Supervisor, and Secret Guard.

Of course, there are some great craftsmen.

Now, it depends on who is unlucky and will be found out.

……

Under the night, in Pingkangfang, four figures wandered towards the door.

The four officials, who were in the fifth and sixth grades of the court, were all drunk and walked out, talking nonsense.

As for what they were talking about, no one could hear clearly.

Just when the four of them walked under the square gate, a figure shot out from the middle of the square gate, and stabbed the second person on the left in the heart with a sword.

At this moment, the second person on the left suddenly fell backwards. He seemed to be drunk. At the last moment, he suddenly fell down.

The killer was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the other three people suddenly drew their knives and slashed directly at the killer.

The sword flashed in an instant, and in an instant, the dagger was out of hand.

The assassin's arms and legs shot out four lines of blood at the same time.

With a "pop", the killer fell to his knees, and four horizontal knives were pressed on his neck at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, someone who didn't know who it was kicked the killer directly in the back. Immediately, all the killer's limbs were tied up with beef tendon ropes, and even his mouth was tightly blocked.

At this time, Zhou Qiancai walked in from the street in front with a solemn expression.

Standing beside him, besides Di Renjie and Wang Di pretending to be Zhao Bin, there was also a livid-faced Zhao Bin wearing a Qianniu guard uniform.

Zhou Qian glanced at Zhao Bin and said calmly: "Feng Yulang, let's go, let's go to Qianniu Prison."

Zhao Bin's expression immediately changed, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "General, if you have anything to ask, Zhao will tell you everything he knows."

Zhou Qian glanced at Di Renjie, Di Renjie nodded slightly, and Zhou Qian said directly: "Okay, for the sake of Di Renjie, Zhou directly asked if Feng Yulang had been with Gao Wei ten days ago. Have you been drinking?"

"Ten days ago?" Zhao Bin was stunned, then thought for a moment, and then raised his hands and said: "That's what happened, but Zhao didn't go to him, but to find AMPC. Cheng was nearby, and he was from the Gao family, so we had two drinks and talked for a while..."

"But he said, you have been talking for a while?" Di Renjie interrupted from one side.

"It was a while." Zhao Bin said with a wry smile on his face: "When Zhao passed by, Gao Wei was already drunk, so how could he remember anything?"

Di Renjie raised his eyes and immediately asked: "Who did Feng Yulang go with that day, and who did Gao Wei go with? Could you please Feng Yulang write down a list of Qianniu Guard, Yushitai, and Dali Temple?" and the Ministry of Punishment, check according to the list.”

Zhao Bin's mouth twitched slightly, then he cupped his hands and said, "Here!"

……

In the southeast corner of the East City, outside a closed bookstore, two teams of criminal policemen hurriedly came from the end of the long street and quickly surrounded the bookstore inside and outside.

Immediately, two arresters stepped forward and kicked the door hard at the same time.

"Bang", the door was kicked open completely, followed by many police officers from the Criminal Department who rushed in directly.

After a while, they came out with ugly looks on their faces, and then they raised their hands to Pei Judao who was standing outside the door.

Pei Judao frowned, and then walked into the bookstore.

Soon, Pei Judao led the people out directly, but there was a corpse on a wooden board.

More detectives from the Criminal Department began to rush in to conduct more detailed investigations.

It was at this time that three people from each of the houses on the northwest and south sides left at the same time.

While others were watching the fun with curiosity, these three people left strangely.

Above the square gate in the distance, Li Xuan was dressed in black brocade clothes, inconspicuous under the moonlight.

Looking at the three people leaving, Li Xuan said directly: "Send people to watch them to death. I want to know where they went?"

"Here!" Su Baotong walked out of the darkness, then turned around and left.

Li Xuan put her hand on the handrail and said softly: "Now, let me take a look, who is standing behind you?"
