Chapter 3064 The situation is serious
Li Junxian stepped forward to salute, and Fang Jun and others also stood up to return the salute. Even the prince Li Shen did not dare to make excuses. After all, this was His Majesty Li Er's true confidant, the number one "eagle and dog minion", and he held the most important power in his hands. Tang's most secretive and powerful spy agency.
In front of the imperial power, the son must not be on guard...
After the ceremony, several people took their seats.
Li Junxian asked: "What's the situation?"
He was working at the "Baiqisi" station outside Xuanwu Gate just now. He was shocked when he heard the report from the officials of Jingzhao Mansion.
The Jingzhao Mansion investigated the Jingzhao Wei family's children for "colluding with the Hu people and causing trouble in the capital." Some Jingzhao Wei family children hit a pillar in the lobby and died... This is a huge event. He didn't pay attention to why charges such as "colluding with the Hu people" would be tried by the Jingzhao Mansion, and his attention was all on the words "died by hitting a pillar".
Jingzhao Yin and Ma Zhou stick to their integrity and will definitely not do anything carelessly. Even if this matter does not follow the rules, there is not much to blame. It is difficult to distinguish things clearly in the officialdom. As long as it is not too excessive, No one would hold on to something like this.
Officialdom is also a place of human relationships...
However, how to deal with this matter still depends on the nature of it. After all, a son of a noble family hit a pillar and died during the interrogation. The implication of this is that one dare not slack off.
As a landlord, Ma Zhou naturally explained everything in detail.
Li Junxian listened very carefully. Although Ma Zhou did not explicitly state Fang Jun's original intention of "using the topic to play on" and this paragraph was just mentioned in passing, Li Junxian also made some speculations. After all, Wei Zhengju can be regarded as the outstanding legitimate son of Jingzhao Weishi, and his reputation is well known in Guanzhong. However, he has been studying behind closed doors in the past few years and has never become an official. As a result, his reputation is not as high as before.
This man was charming and suave, and he was also the guest of many courtesans and courtesans in Beijing. He was also favored by many famous ladies and rich ladies. His love for Princess Changle once caused a lot of commotion, but even today, he may not have lost his thoughts, and the scandal between Princess Changle and Fang Jun is well known to both the government and the public. When these two people met, they had conflicts, and each relied on their It is completely reasonable to try to overwhelm the other party.
Of course, based on his understanding of Fang Jun's behavior, he would never cross the bottom line. He would probably just give Wei Zhengju a beating, and it was absolutely impossible to force the children of the Wei family to death.
This means that Wei Hongguang, who died after hitting a pillar, did have a secret that could not be revealed to others. He was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the punishment of the Jingzhao Mansion, so he simply committed suicide and died, once and for all, and exempted from endless punishment and torture...
Jingzhao Weishi is gaining momentum now. There are Jiu Qing like Taichang Qing Wei Ting, and Concubine Wei who has a stable position in the palace. There are countless outstanding children in the family. Once such a powerful family member and a relative of the country is involved, there is something that should not be revealed to others. The secret is a huge problem.
But who allowed himself to do this?
His Majesty said several times that he would be transferred to serve in the army, but the transfer order was delayed, leaving him trapped in the maelstrom of "Hundred Cavalry Division". He was walking on thin ice all day long, doing what he was most impatient about. Work...
But since I am still sitting in this position, I must be loyal to my duties and work conscientiously without any negligence.
With a little negligence, something terrible may happen...
After listening carefully to Ma Zhou's account of the incident, Li Junxian pondered for a moment and said to Prince Ji Li Shen: "Your Highness, I'm afraid there is a hidden secret in this matter. Everyone, including Wei Zhengju, will eventually take back the hundred." The cavalry officer will interrogate him strictly and ask for your Highness's accommodation. Moreover, Wei Hongguang's brother Wei Hongbiao is a military officer of His Highness's house and has some connections with His Highness. If necessary, he will come to ask Your Highness to cooperate with the investigation. "< br>
This was said politely, as if asking for Li Shen's understanding, but it was just an order. The scope of authority of the "Hundred Cavalry Division" was too large. From the emperor's relatives to the traffickers and lackeys, they could arrest anyone if necessary. Please report to Your Majesty. Permission was granted to proceed with the interrogation.
The prince is no exception.
Li Shen felt so regretful that his intestines were turning green. He felt so desperate, why did he come to get involved in this pool of muddy water?
He understood what Li Junxian meant. It seemed that Wei Hongbiao had implicated him, but the real reason was that he came to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for someone. There is no problem with asking for someone, but if the person he wants is involved in the crime of "colluding with the Hu people", it is naturally difficult for him to distance himself.
But now, how dare he disobey the orders of "Hundred Cavalry Division"?
He could only nod his head and said: "General Li, there is no need to be polite. I behave upright, sit upright, and have absolutely no ulterior motives. I have been in the mansion for the past few days, waiting for General Li to come to my door."
Li Junxian said: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness!"
Then he turned to look at Fang Jun and said: "This matter originated from the Duke of Yue, and you cannot escape the involvement. Therefore, when necessary, the general will have to ask the Duke of Yue to cooperate with the investigation. I hope that the Duke of Yue will not do anything today." You are leaving Chang'an. If there is something urgent, you can report it in advance and we will arrange personnel to ensure your safety."
Fang Jun thought, why should you worry about my safety? This guy looks honest and upright with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he has a lot of evil intentions. If he wants to monitor my whereabouts, just say so...
"I have a busy day with official duties. Not only do I have to be on duty at the Ministry of War Yamen, but I also have to go out of the city from time to time to inspect the Foundry Bureau. Every time I leave the city, I have to go to the 'Hundred Cavalry Division' to report. That is too troublesome, Li The general simply sent two people to follow him, lest someone forget to report, which would be bad. ”
Li Junxian said with a smile: "The Duke of Yue has misunderstood what I mean. If you leave Chang'an and go elsewhere, you naturally need to report it. If you are only near Chang'an, there is no need. You are the pillar of the country and have unparalleled achievements." , how dare you monitor your whereabouts at all times?”
Fang Jun snorted and said: "How do you say that there is no hidden sentry in X's house to deliver information from the house to the outside world every day?"
"Haha! Duke Yue is joking..."
Li Junxian laughed, but did not answer. He stood up and said, "There must be a hidden secret behind this matter. I don't dare to delay, so I will take all the suspects back for strict interrogation and leave first."< br>
Several people stood up to see Li Junxian off, and then sat down again after watching Li Junxian stride out of the side hall.
King Ji Li Shen looked remorseful and complained: "It's really unlucky. Why did I, the undead king, come to Jingzhao Mansion?"
He is usually timid and always vigilant to avoid all troubles, even staying away from competition for the reserve position. As a result, things backfired. Today, not only did I step in, but this matter might be even more troublesome.
Fang Jun saw his eyebrows knitted together and said with a smile: "The real trouble is still behind. It is unfair to come here to fish for people and be implicated in the suspicion, but if Wei Hongbiao, the officer of the palace, has something to do with his younger brother Wei Hongguang, Because of the relationship, Your Highness must think about how to clear himself up.”
I don’t know if he can clear his name, but after hearing Fang Jun’s words, Li Shen’s face turned pale with fright...
Wei Hongbiao was the general of his palace, and also his confidant. It was recommended by his mother and concubine to join the palace. If Wei Hongguang was found to be involved in something, it would be difficult for Wei Hongbiao to be innocent. This meant that not only the entire Prince Ji's palace Everyone was dragged into the water, and even the mother and concubine in the palace could not stay out of it.
Mother!
Li Shen glared at Fang Jun, who was gloating about his misfortune, and complained: "That Wei Zhengju is just a dandy. Brother-in-law, what are you going to do if you can't get along with him? If you can't get along, then you can't get along. Just beat him up, but you have to give him some money." Accused of 'colluding with the Hu people'... I have been harmed by my brother-in-law!"
Fang Jun smiled and said nothing.
Li Daozong, who was drinking tea on the side, shook his head and said: "Your Highness, Wei Hongguang has been exposed, and you find it troublesome. But if this person keeps lurking, who knows what he is planning? If it takes too long, you don't know what kind of trouble will happen. . By then, His Highness may not even have the chance to sit here and complain, as he has been invited over for tea by Baiqisi. ”
Nowadays, the phrase "being invited to drink tea by Baiqisi" is very popular in Chang'an official circles. It sounds good, but if it's your turn to be invited by "Baiqisi", you may not even have time to cry.
As His Majesty Li Er's number one "eagle and dog minions", the "Hundred Qisi" will not care about trivial matters such as corruption and bribery. Their mission is to safeguard the imperial power and clean up the palace. Anyone who has anything to do with them will be targeted by them. , almost all of them touched the bottom line of imperial power.
The "Hundred Qisi" is also very restrained in its work, and will not expand its crackdowns and arrest people arbitrarily. Therefore, as long as the "Hundred Qisi" invites them, the evidence for several books is conclusive, and you must complete all of them if you want to. Walking out of the gate of "Baiqisi" is as difficult as climbing to the sky. (End of chapter)
