The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 437 Bloodbath in Chang'an

The ministers exited the palace, wondering in their hearts. Li Yuti's officials were all his cronies, and they should all be considered guilty of rebellion. Why didn't His Majesty deal with them, but retained them?

All officials are puzzled.

If it were normal, these people would all be executed.

Some people also speculated that His Majesty still missed his son and hoped that he could make a comeback. These people stayed behind to provide Li Yu with the foundation.

There were many conjectures, but no one dared to say them out.

Li Chengdao knew that some people would make wild guesses, so he ignored them.

Di Renjie entered the Zichen Hall and knelt down to meet the driver.

Li Chengdao put down the book in his hand and said, "How is the list I gave you?"

Di Renjie thought of His Majesty's list that Ran Min had brought, but he had been too busy to deal with it. He said, "I will start investigating this matter when I get back! I just have a confession here. Please take a look at it now!"

Feng Li took the confession from Di Renjie and handed it to the imperial court.

Li Chengdao read it again and said, "Do you have any questions?"

"Your Majesty! Will the minister be investigated or not?!"

"Be bold!"

Li Chengdao was so angry that Di Renjie was so frightened that he hit his head on the ground with a thud, regretting that he had asked so much.

"I have always thought that you are the person who knows the most about Tang law in the Tang Dynasty. Today you ask such a ridiculous thing. Is it because I have misjudged you or because you are just an incompetent person and a timid person?"

Li Chengdao was really angry this time. Di Renjie thought he had always been a person who only talked about the law, but he didn't expect that he would ask a person who had committed a crime if he wanted to investigate.

As soon as he threw away the confession, Li Chengdao turned around and left, returned inside, and said harshly: "I am really blind!"

Di Renjie shook his hands, picked up the confession, and walked out of the Zichen Palace, back to the Jinyi Guard.

He wrote a list and shouted: "Call Wu Daoqing!"

Wu Daoqing is one of the four chief arresters of Jinyiwei, nicknamed Qinglong!

Ran Min personally escorted Li Yu to Chengde and was not in Jinyiwei, so he was the only one responsible for this matter.

Although Ran Min is the second-in-command of the Jinyi Guards, he likes to do things like those for subordinates, but he was not present this time.

Wu Daoqing took the list without asking anything. He had seen Di Renjie coming back from the palace with a stern face outside and had already guessed the situation, so it was best not to ask and just keep busy.

……

Xu Qingshan! The deacon of the Chicken Essence Department is personally appointed by His Majesty.

Uncle Jiang! The Minister of Internal Affairs of the Royal Palace! He is responsible for all the supplies of the palace and His Majesty's money. He is simply the emperor's butler.

Changsun Wuji, let’s not talk about it!

Liu Changbo, the doctor in the household department, Wang Sandao, the instructor of the imperial army, Lu Lin, the Jin Wu, General Huang of the Yulin Guard, General Chang, the leader of the left and right guards, Cui Gong, the minister of Zhongshu...

There are as many as thirty people in the queue...

None of them are high-ranking officials in the court, and none of them are high-ranking officials who can be removed at will if the emperor wants to.

The Jin Yiwei almost came out in full force, surrounding each palace, rushing in and taking people!

There is no imperial edict to convict, everything is taken first and then discussed.

Jin Yiwei is fierce...

The people of Chang'an all gathered around to watch, knowing that something big had finally happened.

"Xu Qingshan, do you know your guilt?"

Wu Daoqing ordered the people to surround Xu Mansion and led the crowd in.

Xu Qingshan said loudly: "Ms. Bixia Palace has fallen. I am not guilty but guilty!"

This is dissatisfaction!

"Take it, go tell Tu Musen in the Jinyi Guard Prison Room!"

……

"Taibo Jiang, you know your sin!"

"Your Majesty is gone. We, His Majesty, will naturally settle the accounts in the future. I am waiting for you!"

"Take it! No one in the house will be spared!"

The Jin Yiwei rushed into the house, and they arrested everyone they met, and then sealed the house's younger brother.

For a while, prisoners were rushing around the streets of Chang'an and were taken to Jinyiwei.

There were so many prisoners that the cells could not accommodate them, so they had to temporarily lie down on the martial arts platform behind the brocade clothes with their five hearts facing the ground.

There were swordsmen all around, and their eyes were full of cold light.

... "What!? Didn't His Majesty himself say that he would not investigate or expand the case?"

At Wei Zheng's house, Wei Zheng looked confused.

His Majesty was speechless and finally went on a killing spree.

"If Li Yu is the first to commit a crime, Your Majesty can tolerate it. These people are just accomplices, but it was the Jinyi Guards who took action. Your Majesty's words are true. I will go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit!"

Wei Zheng entered the palace and was stopped by Feng Li.

"Your Majesty! If you don't see me, I will kneel down and die here. Your Majesty has a golden mouth and silver teeth. What you say must not be ignored!"

Wei Zheng yelled loudly, and Feng Li was so frightened that he rushed up to cover his mouth.

"Oh, please keep your voice down, this is the inner courtyard of the palace!"

"Your Majesty must be reasonable. If you continue to punish me like this, even the old minister was guilty. Should you kill me too?"

I don't know how long Wei Zheng knelt, but Li Chengdao never came out to see him.

This matter also reached Di Renjie's ears.

Only then did Di Renjie find out that His Majesty had said that he would not expand or investigate the matter, and that Li Yuren's officials would continue to be retained.

But why he suddenly changed his attitude, only Di Renjie understood this, Wei Zheng misunderstood.

But he didn't explain it because the matter was top secret and he couldn't explain it.

No matter how merciful your Majesty is, he will never let these people go, because these people are the culprits of this rebellion and had planned it earlier than Li Yu.

"Where is Changsun Wuji?"

Di Renjie looked at the list of arrested people, but Changsun Wuji was not among them, and he was very puzzled.

Wu Daoqing replied: "Sir, this man has never returned to his mansion after his secret meeting with the former Luye King. No one knows where he is. There are rumors that he went to the mountains to practice Taoism!"

"This is nonsense, we must find this person!"

"Yes!"

"Sir! The cell is overcrowded. How to deal with these people?"

Di Renjie didn't answer. We had to wait for His Majesty's decision.

There were so many prisoners that almost all had to be interrogated. In order to speed up the process, Di Renjie sent more people to pass the interrogations.

The next day, Di Renjie received a secret order from Feng Li.

After Di Renjie read the secret decree, he left only the principal culprit behind and ordered Wu Daoqing to deal with the rest.

Wu Daoqing was puzzled and asked how he would handle it.

Di Renjie sighed: "I don't know either!"

Because Li Chengdao's secret decree was clear, let him take care of it.

In fact, everyone understood this, but Di Renjie didn't want to understand, so he handed this problem to Wu Daoqing.

Wu Daoqing asked to no avail, so he guessed what was going on.

These are all imperial prisoners, so we can’t let them go, right?

Things that the higher-ups don’t want to do are naturally done by little people like me.

Wu Daoqing found two confidants, and they kept close contact with each other. Their faces were covered with sweat, but they could only drink a few barrels to strengthen their courage, and then went to kill people.

A group of prisoners, as many as 100 in number, were all executed secretly.

Legend has it that all the machetes were cut open and more than ten new ones were replaced. This was the news revealed by the blacksmith of Jinyiwei. But no one dared to talk about Yu Jinyiwei's lustful power.

It has only become a legend in Chang'an.

Only the principal culprit was retained.

The place was cleaned up, and Tu Musen worked very hard. He recorded dozens of pages of confessions about the principal criminals.

These officials had no resistance to Tu Musen.

Say whatever you say.

Sure enough, Tu Musen's verbal fear was answered: "There is no dishonest reception here!"
