Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 106 Catching the wind and shadows
They didn't expect to knock open the door so easily. Yang Wu and the others looked at each other and walked in.

The scene inside made them feel very shocked!

There are dead bodies everywhere.

Yang Wu stepped forward to investigate and found that these people were all poisoned to death.

"See if there are any survivors?" the captain shouted.

The officers and soldiers of the City Defense Army immediately searched the house.

"Lieutenant, after searching by the brothers, there is no one alive in this house, and all of them are poisoned by eating some kind of food." An officer said.

"This matter is no longer something we can decide on our own. It must be reported to the higher authorities, and this place should be sealed off immediately. No fly can be let in, and everything here must not be disturbed. Keep the scene of the crime." The captain said.

The situation here is beyond his guess, beyond the scope of his duties, and beyond his control.

The court official died inside. No matter what, the matter must be reported to the higher authorities to deal with it. All they can do is to seal off the scene.

"No!" The officer took the order to retreat and sent someone back to report to the upper echelon of the city defense army.

This matter was quickly reported to Li Er, but Li Er was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't feel angry because the court official was poisoned, and then became furious.

Just let the city defense army dispose of these corpses on the charge of assassinating the prince.

In fact, Wu Zetian went to Li Zhi long before they discovered that Wu Weiliang and others were poisoned to death and reported to Li Er.

Go with Li Zhi to expose the "crimes" of Wu Weiliang and others to Li Er, and claim that under his own persuasion, Wu Weiliang and others finally realized the serious crimes of themselves and others, so they committed suicide in fear of crime.

Of course, Li Er couldn't be fooled by just a few words.

In order to be able to clear herself, Wu Zetian had already made a series of arrangements, preferably with the help of Li Zhi, to successfully clear her suspicions.

From a murderer who successfully escaped to a good person who persuaded criminals to surrender.

With Wu Weiliang's death, the case of the prince's assassination was successfully concluded.

Li Er wrote a letter, together with the case file, and sent it to Li Chengqian in Chang'an, explaining the whole process in detail, which can be regarded as an explanation for Li Chengqian's assassination case.

Chang'an City, East Palace.

"Lang Jun, your Majesty's letter to you!" Wang Quan handed over the letter written by Li Er to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian opened Li Er's letter, and after reading the letter, Li Chengqian's face turned ashen.

"Bring the dossier!" After reading Li Er's letter, Li Chengqian wanted to see what method Wu Zetian used to clear the suspicion.

Wang Quan hurriedly handed over the dossier to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian couldn't wait to open the dossier to check.

After watching it, Li Chengqian had to admire Wu Zetian's ability. No wonder she was able to become a generation of empress later.

It is not unreasonable for her to become the only woman in history who proclaimed herself emperor.

According to the dossier, Wu Weiliang and others colluded with the Shandong gentry, so they took the risk and assassinated Li Chengqian.

Because Li Chengqian set up a school, which destroyed the interests of the nobles, they were already dissatisfied with Li Chengqian, and they had long thought of getting rid of Li Chengqian.

If they were not afraid of Datang's force, they would have already started.

Wu Weiliang and others wanted to cling to Wuxing Qiwang, and Wuxing Qiwang wanted to eradicate Li Chengqian as an enemy, so the two hit it off and reached a certain consensus.

In the end, the assassination of Li Chengqian by Wu Weiliang and others can be regarded as a vote of honor on the giant ship of the gentry.

And Wu Zetian here plays the role of a man who accidentally learned of the collusion between Wu Weiliang and others and the noble family. In order to prevent the Wu family from being destroyed, Wu Zetian went out of the palace to persuade them to surrender.

But she never expected that as soon as she left, Wu Weiliang and the others committed suicide by taking poison.

If Li Chengqian hadn't been a time traveler, he would have believed what was written in the dossier.

What a pity! As Li Chengqian, who comes from later generations and has a huge amount of knowledge reserves in his brain, how could he believe Wu Zetian's nonsense.

If nothing else, just talk about the relationship between Wu Zetian and Wu Weiliang and others.

For people in the Tang Dynasty today, it is normal for Wu Zetian to be bullied by his brothers when he was young. After all, the status of women in ancient times was generally low, and his father died early.

It is not surprising that Wu Zetian's orphans and widows were bullied by cousins.

Later, Wu Zetian entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine. It is understandable that Wu Weiliang and others wanted to cling to her.

In the eyes of Tang Dynasty people, this is a normal phenomenon, which is also a factor why Wu Zetian was able to get rid of the suspicion smoothly.

But in the eyes of Li Chengqian, the traverser, this is not the case at all.

Li Chengqian knew how cruel Wu Zetian was, how could she pull Wu Weiliang and other clansmen who had bullied her.

It would be nice not to take the opportunity to add insult to injury!I also hope that she can smile away all grievances!It was simply fantastic.

Li Chengqian didn't need to think about it, he could guess that Wu Zetian must have used Wu Weiliang and others, poisoned them all to death, and then put all the responsibility on Wu Weiliang and others.

Anyway, there is no proof of death, and she can say whatever she wants.

The poor Wu Weiliang brothers, who were taken advantage of by others without knowing it, are really unjust enough to die.

"Your Highness! I said a long time ago that running a school will only attract the resentment of the nobles, but you just don't listen. This time it's an assassination, and I don't know what will happen next time." Zhao Jie complained.

"It's true that the matter of running a school is a little inappropriate, and His Highness is indeed too hasty!" Du He said.

Both Zhao Jie and Du He believed that the assassination of Li Chengqian had something to do with the nobles, this is Wu Zetian's brilliance.

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian wanted to applaud Wu Zetian.

"Do you really think that this has something to do with the elites of the gentry? The Wu family really just wanted to be a powerful family, so they did not hesitate to risk the crime of beheading to assassinate the widow?" Li Chengqian said.

"Where does Your Highness mean this! Didn't it clearly say in the file that Wu Weiliang and others secretly negotiated the song with the nobles, and it also proved that Wu Weiliang and others were one of the masterminds who assassinated His Highness." Zhao Jiedao.

"The dossier only states that Wu Weiliang and the others had contacts with the noble family, but there is not enough evidence to prove that the assassination is related to the noble family." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Highness said this, and I also feel that there are some doubts in it. It is a bit pretentious to say that the family members were involved in the assassination incident." Du He said.

Since ancient times, are there still few people who have been influenced by chasing wind and shadows?

How many innocent people were suspected and wronged because of catching rumors, and finally ended up with trumped-up charges, and many of them were falsely accused and killed.

"Du He is right! Now that Wu Weiliang is dead, you can say whatever you want. Anyway, there is no proof of death. Your Majesty doesn't have enough evidence, and you can't do anything to these nobles.

These are not the point, the point is not to let the real behind-the-scenes people get away with it. " Li Chengqian said.
