Changsun Wuji didn't speak. He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the opponent's ability too much. Since the opponent wanted to take revenge on him, how could he give him a chance to overturn the case.It's just that this time what my son did and the crime he committed will not only be sent to Lingnan, but his reputation will also be affected by him.
What a vicious, insidious scheme!Changsun Wuji sighed.It wasn't until this moment that he realized that the other party had already deployed layers of defense against him. As long as he made a move, the other party would respond immediately.At this time, he felt that he was powerless, and he had begun to feel powerless.
"Does the old man want to go and see Huan'er?" Changsun Wuji asked suddenly.
"Zuo Yi, you take the eldest grandson Shangshu to the dungeon." Deng Tongda instructed Zuo Yi, who had been silent all along.
"Yes." Zuo Yi took the order and made a gesture of invitation to Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji let out a "hum" and exited the back hall of the county office.
Changsun Wuji and Zuo Yi came to the dungeon of Chang'an County Yamen. The dark dungeon was very cold, and the wailing of prisoners could be heard from time to time.When Changsun Wuji and Zuo Yi stepped into the prison, the prisoners saw Changsun Wuji, a new face in official uniform, and began to stretch out their hands out of the prison door to cry for grievances.
"Changsun Shangshu, Young Master Ling is in the cell in front." Zuo Yi reminded Changsun Wuji in his ear when he was in a trance.
Changsun Wuji ignored Zuo Yi, hurried forward to the cell that Zuo Yi said, and saw Changsun Huan's disheveled, pale and frighteningly pale face.Seeing Changsun Huan in the corner of the cell, Changsun Wuji called softly, "Huan'er" saw Changsun Wuji calling, Changsun Huan backed up a few steps in fright, hid in the corner of the cell and shrank into a ball, shouting at the same time , "Brother, I won't play anymore, it hurts." Suddenly he showed a smug smile, "I asked you to stab me again, and I will stab you to death now."
"What kind of punishment did you use on him, how did he become like this?" Changsun Wuji's face was ugly, like an angry Pluto in the dark cell, glaring at the left wing beside him.
"Reporting to Changsun Shangshu, when we found Mr. Ling in the Chrysanthemum Tower, he had already become like this. He had never been tortured during the trial in the county government hall." But ask your family servant, he knows best why Young Master Ling became like this."
It must be said that Li Ke's ability to know people, Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi are both small officials who he accepts based on his feelings, but the bearing they showed when facing Changsun Wuji is enough to make many officials feel ashamed.
"Huan'er, are you okay? I came to see you for my father." Changsun Wuji called softly, and Changsun Huan, who was crouching in the corner, slowly saw Changsun Wuji's true face, "Wow!" He is like a child , suddenly ran to Changsun Wuji and cried through the wooden gate of the cell, "Father, why did you come here, Huan'er is so scared, Huan'er was..." He was sobbing so hard.
"Don't open the cell door for me yet." Changsun Wuji roared.
Zuo Yi turned a blind eye to Changsun Wuji's yelling, but the jailer beside him glanced at him, saw that he agreed, and immediately went forward to open the cell door for Changsun Wuji.After Changsun Wuji walked into the cell, Zuo Yi and the jailer left the dungeon. They knew that Changsun Wuji would definitely ask Changsun Huan about the situation, and it was not suitable for them to stay here.
Changsun Wuji glanced at the prison door and saw that Zuo Yi and the jailer had left, so he supported Changsun Huan and asked with a serious expression, "Huan'er, tell Weifu everything you know, and Weifu will avenge you of."
Changsun Huan's mood has stabilized, he did not hide anything from his own father, and told him all the facts.At first, Changsun Wuji thought that Changsun Huan's murder must have hidden motives. After hearing what Changsun Huan said, he couldn't help saying angrily, "Bastard, you bastard!"
"No, big brother will hurt very much, don't!" Changsun Huan was startled when Changsun Wuji yelled at him, and he returned to his demented appearance just now.
"Huan'er, what's the matter with you?" Changsun Wuji saw Changsun Huan's demented expression and vague words in his mouth, and wanted to step forward to ask, but he saw Changsun Huan shrewdly avoiding Changsun Wuji's hand and retreating to the back of the cell. In the corner, huddled into a ball, repeating the words just now, "No, brother will hurt very much, don't!"
Seeing his son's ups and downs, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt pain in his heart. If he hadn't restrained himself, he would have been crying by now. "Huan'er, don't worry, my father will definitely not let you go to Lingnan, and my father will definitely avenge you." Changsun Wuji said fiercely, and then exited the cell.
Changsun Wuji walked out of Changsun Huan's cell and saw Zuo Yi and the jailer approaching, "Where is Zhang Gui? I want to see him." Changsun Wuji asked in a cold voice.
Zuo Yi signaled the jailer to lock Changsun Huan's cell door, and he himself brought Changsun Wuji to Zhang Gui's cell.When Zhang Gui saw Changsun Wuji, he cried even harder than Changsun Wuji's son, Changsun Huan.Zuo Yi opened the cell door while Changsun Wuji was talking to Zhang Gui, and Changsun Wuji walked in.
After a while, Changsun Wuji came out of the dungeon, glanced at Zuo Yi in front of him, did not speak, and walked out of the Chang'an county office on his own.From what Zhang Gui and Changsun Huan told him, he felt that even if he intervened in this matter, the chance of exonerating Changsun Huan was very small.The most important thing is that it also involves the grandson Bingning and 'Tang', if it is not handled properly, it may bring trouble to himself.
After Changsun Wuji left, Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi hurried out of the county government office, and within less than a stick of incense, the two had already arrived at Li Ke's study in the Han Palace.
"Ding Bo, you handled this case very well, and you did not disappoint me." Li Ke said with a smile after listening to Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi's description of Changsun Wuji in the county government office and dungeon.
"It's all His Highness who made a good point, and I dare not take credit for it." Deng Tongda said modestly, cupping his hands.
"The trial of Changsun Huan's case has been completed. You don't need to ask about this matter again. If Changsun Wuji wants to overturn the case, he can only go through the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple. You can go back and have a good rest. I will call you again if there is something to do." Li Ke said.
"I will leave." Deng Tongda and Zuo Yi clasped their hands together, and then exited the study.As soon as the two left, Yang En appeared in Li Ke's study like a shadow, "Your Highness, is Changsun Huan's trial result a bit light?"
"Old Yang, this king wants this effect." Li Ke smiled lightly, "If the sentence is too heavy, and the empress grandson is provoked to come forward to intercede with the father, then things will be troublesome. If the sentence is too light, Deng Tongda's promotion will be a problem." There will definitely be problems, how can the father tolerate a flattering person as the county magistrate of the capital. Therefore, such a punishment that is neither light nor heavy will not only make the eldest grandson Wuji in a dilemma, but also make the father value Deng Tongda more. The ability to handle affairs. If one day Di Zhixun leaves office, who else can be competent for the position of Chang'an county magistrate?"
After Li Ke finished speaking, Yang Encai had a clear expression, "Your Highness is really far-sighted, and this old slave is not as good as His Highness."
"Mr. Yang made fun of you," Li Ke said, "I don't know if Zhu Tong who went to Bingzhou has returned? And how is Chen Qi's injury? Can he go back to Chang'an years ago?"
"Your Highness, judging by the time, Zhu Tong is already on his way back to Chang'an." Yang En said, "As for Chen Qi, there is no news from Lingzhou yet."
"Well," Li Ke thought deeply, "Eagle Guard is still very weak in terms of intelligence."
"Yes, the intelligence system has a lot to do with it, so we can't be in a hurry. If something goes wrong in those links, the consequences will be disastrous." Seeing Li Ke's anxious look, Yang En gently reminded him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I understand that I won't rush for quick success in this matter." Li Ke said seriously.Seeing that Li Ke was serious about what he said, Yang En smiled at him, "Your Highness, it's time for dinner."

After returning to the mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji first went to his wife's room to check on her condition, and found that Zhou was fine, but was overly frightened, so he was relieved a lot.Changsun Bingning was by Zhou's side, and when she saw Changsun Wuji coming in, she saluted him and withdrew.Seeing her eldest grandson Wuji, Mrs. Zhou said with tears on her face, "Husband, you must take care of Huan'er's affairs. He can't go to places like Lingnan." Mrs. Zhou obviously knew the verdict. The sad look on his face when he said a word made Changsun Wuji feel a pain in his heart.If it weren't for the strict family style of Changsun Wuji, Mrs. Zhou would have already visited her precious son in the cell.
"Madam, don't worry, my husband will definitely not let Huan'er go to a place like Lingnan." Changsun Wuji said affirmatively, and then said a few words of comfort before leaving Zhou's room.
After leaving Zhou's small courtyard and coming to the study, Changsun Wuji asked the big man in front of him sharply, "Tell me about today's situation? What went wrong."
"Reporting to the general, we followed Miss Bing Ning to the Chrysanthemum Tower today, and waited for her outside the building for a whole day, but we didn't see her coming out of the Chrysanthemum Tower again. We don't know anything about your son in the Chrysanthemum Tower." Tang's intelligence department was under the jurisdiction of General Zuo Wuhou, so the big man called him a general.
"Since you followed Bing Ning to the Chrysanthemum Tower and found that she never left the Chrysanthemum Tower, how could Madam say that Bing Ning stayed with her for a day today? How can Bing Ning from the house explain it?" Changsun Wuji asked in a deep voice.
"The general doesn't know, so I ask the general to punish him." The big man bowed his head and said.
"Punishment, how many lives do you have for me to punish?" Changsun Wuji said coldly, "That's the end of Bing Ning's matter, withdraw the people you are following, and send people to keep an eye on the Han Palace. Report to me." Changsun Wuji said fiercely.
"Han Palace?" The big man hesitated for a moment, then asked in puzzlement, "General...is the emperor..." They are members of 'Tang', Changsun Wuji ordered them to monitor the Han Palace, this is not normal Order, without the emperor's will, who would dare to supervise
