The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 514 Exchange Conditions
After Liu Huan arrived, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still sitting cross-legged, like an immortal, and he also changed into a pair of blue silk robes.

He did not open his eyes, quietly waiting for Liu Huan's report.

Liu Huan was silent for a while, and his mouth was a little dry, but he still had the courage to speak: "Let's start with the emperor."

"The Criminal Department found out that the murderer is a student of Dade named Wang Zhen."

"My son, I have asked the Criminal Department and the Detective Department to arrest the person."

Emperor Wu of Han's face twitched, but he still didn't open his eyes, but veins began to appear faintly on his neck!
Liu Huan continued: "A scholar from the Ministry of Punishment confessed that a Taoist priest had figured out that His Majesty would leave the palace today."

After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty finally couldn't help but open his eyes, stared at Liu Huan, and said coldly: "Taoist?"

"Did Gongsun Qing leak it?"

Liu Huan hurriedly said: "My son went to interrogate Gongsun Qing and has already brought him into the palace."

"I don't think it's Gongsun Qing. Unless he wants to die, he would never dare to do such a treasonous thing."

"And it's untenable. He has nothing to gain by leaking it."

"Gongsun Qing said he didn't know anything about it."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty closed his eyes again. He did not speak and was thinking quietly. After a long time, he said: "Summon Gongsun Qing to see you!"

"Here!"

Not long after, Gongsun Qing came to the main hall, looking a little nervous. When he saw Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he clasped his fists and said, "See your majesty."

"Your Majesty! I am wronged!"

"I really don't know anything about this. Please tell me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty stared at Gongsun Qing and said, "If you didn't reveal my itinerary, how did they know about it?"

"Did the Taoist priest really leak it? Can he really spy on the secrets of heaven?"

Gongsun Qing was speechless and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know what's going on. If someone wants to accuse me unjustly, I really don't know how to defend myself. I can only hope that your Majesty will understand clearly."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said indifferently: "Knowing the truth? I am old and confused and no longer useful. Who else around me can be trusted?"

Gongsun Qing and Liu Huan hurriedly and nervously clasped their fists to apologize!
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said coldly: "Catch Wang Zhen who is trying to assassinate me first!"

"As for who the Taoist priest is, we will know everything once we catch him."

"Here!"

Liu Huan hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I will order someone to arrest him right now!"

……

East Palace.

When Wei Ning learned all this, his expression became serious.

The uncle and uncle had already started to take action. Wei Ning never expected that Gongsun He would do such a big thing.

If it is not arranged well, any problem in any link will be fatal.

However, Wei Ning was anxious. He completely believed in the abilities of Wei Qing and Gongsun He, and he would definitely handle these things perfectly!

He has no way to help Wei Qing and Gongsun He now, so he can only wait and see how the situation develops for the time being.

If something really goes wrong, it won't be too late for Weining to take action to remedy the situation.

Naturally, Wang Zhen was not so easy to catch. Liu Huan dispatched many detectives from the Detective Department and Criminal Minister An Sanfu to arrest Wang Zhen.

Three days later, there was still no news about Wang Zhen.

Liu Huan was extremely anxious. If he couldn't catch anyone again, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty might question his ability to do things even more.

However, the Detective Department brought a piece of news to Liu Huan. Gongsun He had been in contact with Wang Zhen for some time before.

So Liu Huan immediately summoned Gongsun He into the palace.

"The common people have met His Highness the King of Jiaodong."

Liu Huan looked gloomy and asked Gongsun Hedao: "You were friends with Wang Zhen, a student of Dade, where is Wang Zhen now?"

Gongsun He said with a puzzled look on his face: "This... the common people don't know, this was many years ago, how can the common people know now?"

Liu Huan said angrily: "I asked you to find this person!" Gongsun He shook his head and said: "Your Highness, let alone the common people who don't know where they are, betraying others is not the behavior of a gentleman. If Your Highness wants to kill You people, just say it, why bother with these ridiculous excuses?”

"伱!"

Liu Huan stretched out his hand and pointed at Gongsun He, his face twitching violently and his eyes gushing out with anger.

At this moment, a voice came from the hall, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "It is not a gentleman's business to betray others."

"But I can release your son, and you can help me find this beast."

"Is this what a gentleman does?"

Gongsun He was stunned in the main hall, with his head lowered, and there was a look of successful conspiracy in his eyes.

Yes, all the things he controlled were to rescue Gongsun Jingsheng.

He had been waiting for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to take the initiative to speak.

But Gongsun He naturally would not agree so hastily. He said: "Your Majesty! Common people dare not!"

"Then you want your son to die in prison?"

Gongsun He stood hesitantly in the main hall, silent for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, can you really give out a salute?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sneered: "Do you think I will joke with you?"

"I am not a person who breaks my word."

If the emperor said this before, Gongsun He would certainly believe it, but now the prestige of the court and the majesty of the emperor have been shattered. Who dares to believe what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said?
"Liu Huan, please let Gongsun Jingsheng go first."

"Three days, I'll give you three days. Wang Zhen shows up. I won't arrest your son. If he doesn't show up, your son will be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment again."

Gongsun He gritted his teeth and said: "I obey the order!"

After Gongsun He left Weiyang Palace, the Ministry of Punishment also released Gongsun Jingsheng on time.

Now Gongsun Jingsheng had been beaten to the point of being inhumane. When he saw Gongsun He, he cried out: "Dad, Daddy!"

"They almost beat me to death!"

"Dad, you have to make the decision for me!"

Gongsun He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back to the mansion first."

After arriving at the mansion, Gongsun He asked in a face-to-face manner: "How much did you tell me?"

Gongsun Jingsheng said with a defeated look on his face: "I will say whatever they ask me to say, I just can't help it..."

Gongsun He said angrily: "I asked you what you told me!"

Gongsun He told everything about colluding with Princess Yangshi and embezzling northwest military expenses.

Gongsun He is not worried about these things.

Until Gongsun Jingsheng said that he also confessed that he and Princess Yangshi were acting as spies for Wei Ning.

Hearing this, Gongsun He was furious: "You! Bastard!"

"You want our Gongsun family to be executed along with you!"

Gongsun Jingsheng cried bitterly: "Dad...I really, really can't bear it."

"The torture they used was so harsh, I really couldn't bear it!"

"I will tell you whatever they ask me to do."

"Dad, I can't help it!"

Gongsun He waved his hands and said: "Go back!"

"Go find a doctor and give him some treatment."

"Here!"

Gongsun He locked himself in the study and began to analyze the situation. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty must have known these things.

He must have known that Wei Ning had spies in the palace...even though the news was obtained through coercion.

But Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't seem to take action against Prince Wei. Why?
