Chapter 169 High-profile Attack Next
"Your Majesty, Weichen received a report from the people early this morning, saying that there was a five-life blood case in Shiwei Lane. I did not dare to neglect it. I personally led all my subordinates to investigate the scene. According to the five dead were Zuo Yulinjun Qianniu prepared for Wang Yi, and the internal supervisor (eunuch official's name, Zheng Liu Pinxia) Chen Dahong, Wu Liu; internal servant (eunuch) Official name, Zhengqi Pinxia) Chang Si, Liu Qi, the case is involved in internal prohibition, I dare not specialize in myself, so I specially came to invite your majesty.
Being forced by Gao Zong, Pei Heng did not dare to hesitate any more. He bit his teeth and reported the case, but consciously avoided the previous Yizhi of the Queen Wu, and did not mention Li Xianheng's intervention, which was not offended by both sides.
"Huh? There is such a thing. Did you find out who did it?"
As soon as Gao Zong heard that the matter was involved in the internal ban, he was angry and his face was dark. He shouted and asked.
"Your Majesty is angry, Weichen is checking, checking..."
As soon as he saw that Gao Zong's face was wrong, Pei Hengdeng couldn't stand it. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and replied in a panic.
"Well, that's not the case. Why don't you check it quickly!"
Gao Zong threw off his sleeve angrily and scolded angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry. This matter involves internal prohibition. I'm afraid that Luoyang Mansion can thoroughly investigate it. It still needs to be discussed in the long-term."
As soon as Gao Zong finished speaking, Queen Wu didn't wait for Pei Heng to express his position, and then he spoke softly from the side.
"Well, what Mei Niang said is reasonable."
Gao Zong has always had no resistance to Wu Hou's words. Hearing this, he was no longer in a hurry to drive Pei Heng away. He shook his broad sleeves, slowly stepped forward and sat down behind the dragon case.
"Father, I think this case is appalling, and there are many doubts. If you don't thoroughly investigate it clearly, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the society. I hope my father will make a good decision." As soon as Gao Zong sat down, Li Xian stood up from the side and said worriedly.
"Xian'er's words are reasonable, and I deeply think so. Mei Niang, who do you think it is appropriate to hand over this case for thorough investigation?"
Among the dead, there were either Yulin army officers or grade eunuchs in the palace. This case was obviously a lot strange. Although the Gao Zongren was a little cowardly, he was not stupid. He faintly realized that there was something strange in it, but he did have the intention to find out. There was no reason to hear Li Xian's advice, but before Queen Wu had already opened his mouth, and Gao Zong made a decision immediately, but his tone clearly showed Gao Zong's determination to find out the case.
"Your Majesty, my concubine thinks that my son's words are very true. Well, yesterday, my concubine pointed to the daughter of Zhao Shaoyin's family in Luoyang Mansion, but I didn't think that it didn't pass overnight. This person died. It's really strange. It's not easy to investigate, and my concubine's heart can't calm down."
Queen Wu did not directly answer Gao Zong's question, but frowned slightly and meditated for a moment. Then she explained with a solemn face, and her eyebrows were full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Oh? It's really strange that there is such a thing.
Gao Zong had never cared about the marriage at all. When he heard the Empress Wu's words, he couldn't help but be stuped, and his doubts suddenly increased.
Ha, you old thief, who are you scared of? Although Queen Wu did not glance at Li Xian when she said that, this was obviously for Li Xian. The intention was nothing more than warning and threats. With Li Xian's IQ, it could be clear as he heard it. However, although Li Xian attached great importance to it, he did not care too much - if this case was really penetrated, A trick of a mother-child secret fight is bound to be revealed to the world. The result is that neither side can get well. Of course, Queen Wu has a bad reputation for it. Li Xian is bound to be criticized because of rebellion. The hope of winning the throne will become a bubble. There is no doubt that both sides will be hurt, but there is a difference in it. That is, Li. At this time, he had no intention to seize the throne. All he wanted was not to let the Empress Wu usurp the throne. Therefore, if he could really achieve the result of pulling the Empress Wu off the horse, Li Xian would be willing to kill him. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to achieve this matter. After all, the Empress Wu held Gao Zong and his reputation was damaged for a while. In time, It's not difficult to get up again. However, if Li Xian has a chance, it will be difficult to turn over again. However, since Li Xian dares to do this, he naturally has his own way to do it.
"Father Mingjian, there are indeed a lot of strange things. According to my son, Wang Yi is a Yulin army, which is forbidden outside, while the four eunuchs are all of the class. There is no doubt that they are forbidden inside. According to the legal system, the two are not allowed to collude privately. Now they have died in one place. I'm afraid there are other inside information. If it is not thoroughly investigated and clear, what will happen if such a thing happens again?
As soon as Gao Zong's words fell, Li Xian immediately stood up and said loudly. He was righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he had never heard the threat in the words of the Empress Wu - it was a lie to say that he was not afraid of things. Since he could not finish his achievements in a battle, Li Xian naturally did not want the case to be revealed to the world. This thought was the same as that of Empress Wu. It can be said that he beats the wolf with a hemp pole, and the two ends are afraid. At this time, whoever can be tougher can have the upper hand. In this sense, Li Xian is naturally as tough as he can play.
"Xian'er said it well. This case should be thoroughly investigated. Pei Heng, I order you to immediately assign capable candidates for a time limit of ten days. Be sure to solve the whole case. I want to see what's wrong inside!"
Being reminded by Li Xian, Gao Zong's back immediately sweated coldly, patted the dragon case angrily, and stopped asking Queen Wu's opinion, and directly made an order.
"Your Majesty is wise, but this case involves internal prohibition. After all, Pei Fuyin is a foreign minister. It is quite inconvenient to investigate. It is better to be a person to help." Queen Wu obviously did not expect that Li Xian was so tough. She couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Then she thought of Yan Desheng's life and death, and she had an ominous foreboding to fall into Li Xianyu. She had the intention to block the thorough investigation of the case, but there was no excuse. At this sight, Gao Zong was angry and had to turn around with a forced smile.
"Well, the queen said this very well." Although Gao Zong was on the fire, he still heard the words of the Empress Wu. Thinking about it, he also felt reasonable. Then he nodded, looked at Gao Hesheng, who was waiting on the side, and nodded, "Gao Sheng!"
"The maidservant is here."
Gao Hesheng looked at Li Xian puzzledly. Hearing Gao Zong's name, he quickly restrained his wild thoughts and hurriedly stood up and answered loudly.
"I order you to cooperate with Pei Aiqing to thoroughly investigate the harem and be sure to find out how those bastards went to one place." Gao Zong glanced at Gao Hesheng with an unhappy face and gave his will coldly.
"The maidservant obeys the order."
As a Si Li eunuch, Gao Hesheng is the head of all the eunuchs in the palace. He is responsible for the guard of the inner court. Now there is such a big leak in the inner court. He can't get rid of the responsibility. He was swept away by Gao Zong's cold eyes, and his heart suddenly cooled down and cried secretly. But at this time, he did not dare not accept it. The purpose is to respond respectfully and carefully step aside.
"Father, I think that Princess Gao Gong and Lord Yin of Pei are indeed excellent candidates to solve this important case, but there are many inconveniences in internal and external communication. It is better to have someone to be in the center. If my father can believe it, I am willing to take this responsibility." This end of Gao and Shenggang received the order, but Li Xian on the other side came out again. The tune was very high, and the faction was full of hard work for the court.
"Well..."
Gao Zong naturally trusted Li Xian. After all, it is not the first time that Li Xian has participated in the case in these years. It has not been done cleanly and neatly, and he has the intention to fulfill Li Xian's loyalty. In this moment, he has to agree to Li Xian's proposal.
"Your Majesty, Xian'er is loyal and commendable, but my concubine thinks that the prince's involvement in the palace ban is ultimately inconsistent with the system, and Xian'er has just arrived in Luoyang and is not familiar with it everywhere. It may be inconvenient to handle this case. She has been living in the palace for a long time and is getting older, and it's time to practice it. I think Let the wheel handle this matter.
Hearing that Li Xian's door was raised so high, the Empress Wu even more convinced that there must be an ambush for Li Xian in the dark. How dare she really hand over the case to Li Xian? Seeing that Gao Zong had a tendency to agree, he did not dare to neglect it and quickly interrupted.
"The wheel? Well..."
Li Xulun is a young son. Although he sealed the king early, he has never opened a house to build teeth. At present, he still lives in the harem. He is the longest-lasting prince who has been with Gao Zong. Gao Zong loves him very much, but he has always been not very optimistic about his talent. At this time, he saw that the Empress Wu raised Li Xulun. I can't help but feel uneasy.
"Father, the mother's words are reasonable. The eighth brother has already been king, and it should be a barrier for the community in the future. It is also a good thing to experience it earlier. There is no objection to my son."
Li Xian actually doesn't really want to flow this muddy water. The reason why the door is pulled so high is to induce the Empress Wu to make mistakes. The purpose has been achieved, and he dares not really do things. In case the Queen Wu dies and the net is broken, it will be a lot of fun. At this time, Gaozong The enquiry's eyes swept over, and Li Xian immediately expressed his attitude without hesitation.
"Well, that's good. That's it. I'll pass on my order. Li Xulun, the king of Yin, is responsible for the case of Lion Tail Lane. Gao Hesheng and Pei Heng are the deputy. It's limited to ten days. We must solve the whole case!"
On the one hand, Gao Zong was worried about Li Xulun's ability, and on the other hand, it was not easy to refute Li Xian's face on the spot, so he hesitated. At this time, he saw that Li Xian had made concessions, and he was at ease and took advantage of the opportunity to make a decision.
"Your Majesty, I will obey the order!"
Gao Zong made a decision. The people present rushed to praise themselves. As for the thoughts in their hearts, only everyone knows it in their own hearts...
