Chapter 509 Wang Sicheng changed his face
Lu Jingzhang and Wang Ying came to the East Palace, but saw the prince who should have been extremely anxious, and was now leisurely reviewing the memorials...
Li Xian fell into Chen Ke and was unable to handle the government affairs. All court affairs were transported to the East Palace, and Li Jun was responsible for handling them.
Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be very confident in the memorials piled up everywhere and seemed at ease.
As far as Jingzhang knows, Li Xian is not a diligent person. It is an extraordinary performance to be able to handle a batch of government affairs in half a month.
Therefore, there must be many other things sent to the East Palace now that are due to Li Xian’s debts.
Li Jun, who was buried in the head of the case, immediately put down his affairs and met them. Lu Jingzhang had known each other for a long time, but he seemed to have no impression of the slightly narrow-faced man standing behind him.
Lu Jingzhang first introduced Wang Ying's origin to him. When Li Jun heard that he was a descendant of the Wang family of Langya, he naturally felt a little more respect.
From the heart, based on his experience in later generations, he did not like these ministers from the Wang family very much.
But today, their power cannot be underestimated. Although this person is now behind Lu Jingzhang, who knows what happens next?
Several people entered the inner room, blocked the idle people, leaving only Acheng to serve him.
Lu Jingzhang drank a sip of tea and immediately made it straight to the point.
"Your Highness, the matter of Duke Huan has been investigated clearly. It is true that taking prostitutes as concubines. At the same time, Duke Guo is also involved in witchcraft. He is now detained in Dali Temple. When His Majesty wakes up, he will naturally suffer a loss."
Lu Jingzhang winked, and Wang Ying immediately presented all the investigation items yesterday to Li Jun.
After seeing it, Li Jun felt quite satisfied.
Otherwise, if people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations, it was indeed his plan to instruct Huiyue to approach Wu Yanxiu. It was also his plan to put the witchcraft villain in the beginning.
However, he did not expect that in order to cover up Huiyue's identity, Wu Yanxiu made up a fake identity for her in the mansion.
So, when the real investigation came, his lies further proved his criminal facts.
"Jingzhang, since this matter involves a serious crime of witchcraft, Dali Temple must work with the Ministry of Justice to conduct another investigation and investigation. Don't be too hasty."
Lu nodded, seeing that Li Jun had no intention of clarifying it actively, he was a little passive for a moment.
Li Jun saw all the doubts on his face.
He sank for a moment, but he still thoughtfully answered their doubts.
"You must be wondering whether Wu Yanxiu is interested in treason, and how did the witch doll run to his Duke's mansion?"
Lu Jingzhang didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Jun with anticipation.
"What I want to make is that I have always been polite first and then military force when doing things. I believe everyone has made public comments on the actions of the Wu clan in the court, but because of their power, they dare not speak out."
"I heard that Yao Yushi has returned to Chang'an from Luoyang. The first thing he did after returning to the city was not to go to the palace to meet the saint, but to go to the prince's palace. You must all understand the reason."
"Jingzhang, do you think Duke Huan is innocent?"
"I think he is not innocent."
Li Jun nodded, he was sensible.
"That's it. He also tried to frame me with a plan. If I were not prepared, I would probably be the one who was lying in the Dali Temple prison today."
"Maybe, my fate is not as good as him. Maybe only a sporadic evidence will quickly push me to a dead end."
"I'm just following the flow and getting this thing back to where it should be."
Although the prince's words did not make it clear, they also indirectly explained the situation.
"Jingzhang understands that the prince believes that Dali Temple should stop this matter?"
"It's still a question."
He kept his face in a slight displeasure, and exaggeratedly hugged his fists up and said, "Of course I am waiting for His Majesty's disposal. How can I decide such a serious crime?"
That being said, since the whole case was promoted by the prince, the two of them had plans in their minds and the investigation should continue. However, it is best to turn a blind eye to those areas where there are still omissions.
If we can completely eradicate the power of the Wu clan with this battle, it will be a result that the government and the public are happy to see.
After leaving the Eastern Palace, Wang Ying led a group of people to the Duke Huan Mansion. Since the Duke himself was detained in Dali Temple, there was not even a person in charge in the entire house.
Men and women all looked dirty, as if they were going to be killed tomorrow.
After the search the day before yesterday, Dali Temple had sent a special person to guard the Mansion Garden, and it is important to ensure that there are no idle people waiting to sneak out.
Wang Ying and others’ goal today is naturally no longer the boring thing like a concubine contract. Logically speaking, they are just routine.
But soon, as the search deepened, the officers actually made unexpected discoveries.
Yesterday's search was not a very serious crime because it only involved the matter of taking concubines, so their search was just a flash of water and was not detailed at all.
This time, because of the witchcraft incident, everyone's attitude suddenly changed. They gathered lazy men and women in the front yard, stood in line, and had dedicated people to guard them to prevent them from making trouble in secret.
Lu Jingzhang handed over such an important task to Wang Ying, and he also took a fancy to his ability. As soon as Wang Ying arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he immediately arranged it and instructed all the officials to search every corner of the Duke's Mansion twice.
Note that it was twice, and he emphasized this point in order not to miss any clues.
He is not like Lu Jingzhang. Although he is not very high and not very conspicuous now, he is actually an extremely ruthless person.
The experience passed down from generation to generation by the Wang clan told him that it was time to use the trick. Since the prince had already set up the plan, they just had to do the things according to his arrangements.
After receiving his order, all the Dali Temple officials immediately divided into three groups, rushed into each room and courtyard, and searched closely.
The people standing on the open space in the front yard were staring at this scene in amazement.
The belief in their hearts collapsed. They never thought that the powerful Duke Huan would suffer such insults.
In an instant, there was a sound of crying and snatching the earth, constantly stimulating the nerves of the officers. Wang Ying was guarding the front yard. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but frown.
He wandered around among these crying and howling people, and found that there was no decent nobleman at all, so he called a small servant and whispered a few words.
The little man nodded like pounding garlic and responded immediately. He held the whip he carried with him and slapped straight at the most lively woman crying in the crowd.
A scream broke out in the crowd, and the shrill voice was even more serious than before. Wang Ying turned a deaf ear and instructed someone to continue.
This time, not only was a small businessman, but more people were mobilized by him, took out his whip and shook it around the crowd.
