Chapter 574 Respective calculations

"A certain Mr. Guan Li met Qi Guogong." Guan Lijun put on a very low posture.

"Guan Shuai is free of courtesy, I came here today to deliver a few words on behalf of the saint." Changsun Wuji didn't make too many polite remarks, and said straight to the point.

"Duke Qi, please speak." Guan Lijun said respectfully.

If it is changed to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, at this time, as a courtier, he has to face the direction of the palace and salute before he can listen to the oracle.But the rules of the Tang Dynasty are all simple and there are not so many red tapes.

The imperial edicts of the Eight Classics are also received standing up, not to mention that they are only oral orders, as long as the attitude is correct.

"How is the case going?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"It's progressing smoothly, and we've got a lot of evidence to lock down some important people, but if you want more evidence, you have to get more people." Guan Lijun replied.

Changsun Wuji nodded his head to express his understanding. Most of the first wave of arrests were followers of the wind and gained fame. There were not many key figures, and there were not many things to be interrogated.

But as a superior, he can't be overly satisfied, he has to put more pressure on his subordinates, so he said with a stern face: "That's all?"

"This...there is another key figure, Yushi Zhongcheng Wei Damao, who has never opened his mouth, but he is delicate and weak and I dare not use severe punishment...If we can pry his mouth open, we will be able to get more and deeper information. "

"Wei Damao." Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth at the mention of this name, he was the one who charged forward to attack his own sister: "Haven't you thought of other ways?"

Guan Lijun smiled wryly and said: "How could it not be possible? I have used threats and lures, but the crime he has committed is too great. If he confesses, he will be a barbarian. If he clenched his teeth, he might still have a chance. He also understands this truth, and he still refuses to speak .”

"Then punish."

"No, I tried to torture him last time, but he passed out as soon as I did it. It's really hard to move."

Changsun Wuji frowned, this matter is really difficult.People know everything in their hearts, and they will definitely not open their mouths, and torture is not acceptable.

This is a hedgehog, people have nowhere to say ah.

But he doesn't believe that there are really hedgehogs, as long as they are human, they have shortcomings.Who knows his flaws best?relatives or rivals.

his family……

A flash of inspiration flashed in Changsun Wuji's mind, and he remembered a character, and hurriedly said: "You are like this..."

"Is this... really okay?" Guan Lijun asked hesitantly.

"You'll know if it's ok if you try it. Don't worry, there will be a sage to support you if something goes wrong." Changsun Wuji patted his chest and promised.

"You are well-informed. You should have heard that the imperial court is planning to set up another institution called Six Doors, which is responsible for investigating cross-state and county cases and various major cases."

"The sage asked me to convey a word to you, this case is settled, and you will be given the position of chief arrester."

Guan Lijun's eyes lit up, he was so excited that he almost cried out, the chief arrester came too suddenly.And it was promised to him by the saint himself, which also means that he has entered the eyes of the saint... the future is limitless.

He suddenly made a decision in his heart and fought hard.

It is said that there will be a commander-in-chief and several chief arresters in the six gates. The commander-in-chief is mainly responsible for overall planning and coordination, and the chief arrester is responsible for the specific work.Therefore, the chief arrester can already be regarded as the first-class high position of the six sects.

The post of commander-in-chief Guan Lijun did not dare to think that a high-ranking official of the fourth grade of the Zhenger Bajing would be held by a young minister of Dali Temple in all likelihood.What he expects is the position of Chief Catcher, which is said to be at the fifth rank...

The fifth rank has already stepped into the ranks of the high-level empire, a threshold that many people struggle for a lifetime and can't reach it.Now the opportunity is in front of him, how could he let it go.

……

At the servant Wang Gui's mansion, a lunch is in progress.

After all, it is Zaifu's family, and there are more rules than ordinary families. Although men and women do not pay attention to different tables, there is still a rule of not talking when eating.

Especially Wang Gui's preoccupied appearance made all the juniors tremble with fear, so the dining table was quiet except for the sound of eating.

The dishes I usually like the most are tasteless today. After a few mouthfuls, I lose my appetite at all. I put down my chopsticks, got up and went out.

"Da Lang, why don't you eat now?" His wife said distressedly.

"You're full, eat." After he finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a worried wife and a group of liberated children.

Wang Gui knew where his heart knot was, he turned into a chicken, and now he hated Wei Damao to the bone.

He was very glad that he went to see Yue Shan with the other prime ministers that morning, and he was even more glad that he took the decisive step to sever ties with Wei Damao before the incident happened.

But... can things really be cleared up?

Would the emperor really believe he wasn't involved?After all, sons and daughters are relatives.What if breaking off the relationship is a bitter plan?
He has been looking around for relevant information. There are several eyeliners next to the high platform where Yueshan casts spells outside the Chongxuan Gate, monitoring every move on the platform for twelve hours.

In the past few days, the secret fight between the imperial court and the black hands behind the scenes can be hidden from others, but he cannot be hidden from him, the prime minister of the court. He is well aware of how fierce the secret struggle is.

Now he has only one idea, to protect himself.

But he really didn't get involved, and he had severed ties with Wei Damao beforehand, so how could he protect himself?Go into the water and fight to the death with the black hands behind the scenes in exchange for the emperor's trust?

He wanted to do this, but the emperor might not give him this chance.

Worrying all day is naturally bad, and the appetite is hard to lose.

Are you just waiting for the final result?No, this is too passive. It’s not okay to leave life and death in the hands of others. We must find a way.

But how can we completely separate the relationship.

While he was thinking hard about a way to break the situation, the old housekeeper hurriedly came to report: "Da Lang, the bad handsome Guan Lijun is asking to see you outside."

Guan Lijun?Wang Gui was surprised at first, but then he noticed the old housekeeper's words: "Guan Lijun asked to see him outside the door? Business or private? How many people did you bring?"

"Yes, he said he was looking for you on business, so he brought two followers with him." The old housekeeper also knew something about what happened recently, so he quickly replied.

Wang Gui was certain in his heart, and he took out the posture of Zaifu and said: "Please come in."

It's just that he didn't notice that he used the word 'please'.In normal times, how could his majestic prime minister be so polite to a mere villainous deputy commander.

The two sides met in the main hall of the palace, and after seeing the ceremony, Wang Gui asked straight to the point: "I don't know why Shuai Guan came to a certain mansion?"

"Wang Xianggong, I think you also know that I am investigating the matter of turning a hen into a male. I have encountered some difficulties recently and I would like to ask for your help." Guan Lijun said.

"Oh? I don't know what it is?"

"Someone would like to ask you to meet someone."
