Chapter 17 Search

Li Shouyi really dared to write Xue Chongxun’s story into a memorial and hand it over.

Memorials generally talk about major issues such as national economy and people's livelihood, either referring to national policies and regulations, or referring to specific major issues such as tax increases and subtractions due to drought and flood disasters...

In a criminal case, it actually talks directly to the emperor. What are the Dali Temple Ministers, Minister of Justice, and Chief Censor of the Censor of the Ministry of Justice for food?

If someone else did this when dealing with a case, it would be like offending a large number of people. However, if Li Shouyi did this, everyone wouldn't bother with him. He was just like this and didn't know how to adapt to anything, he had to come to light.

Emperor Li Dan only took a look and didn't care about what the case was. When he saw that the court officials were involved, he sent the memorial to the Censorate to handle the case in the usual way.

The Censor of the Censorate saw that it was a matter of Princess Taiping's family, and it was a little difficult...

Finally someone remembered his old boss Xiao Zhizhong!

Xiao Zhizhong used to be the chief censor, but now he has become the prime minister, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the Minister of the Central Secretariat.

During the reign of Emperor Zhongzong, Crown Prince Li Chongjun failed to launch a coup. Someone said in front of Emperor Zhongzong that Princess Taiping was also a co-conspirator. Xiao Zhi was loyal to him. His Majesty was rich all over the world, so could he not tolerate a younger brother and sister?

Therefore, he has a good relationship with Princess Taiping, and now he often goes out to and from Princess Taiping. The censors and censors have communicated with Xiao Zhizhong in private. It depends on his attitude, so it is safer to handle this matter.

Besides, the prime minister is a bureaucrat of all officials, so it is not wrong for officials to discuss matters with the prime minister.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhizhong quickly said: When you report this to Jin Shang, I am afraid that Jin Shang will ask first: Have you ever asked Taiping?Have you asked Saburo?So I think you ask the prince first, and then you don’t have to do anything. Just report the princess’ opinions and the princess’s opinions today... There is no need to ask the princess. Duke Wei is the princess’ son. Does any mother want to search the son’s house when she sees others are fine?

The censor agreed and acted according to his words. This matter was repeated and three or four days had passed when he reported it to the emperor again.

But the group of people under Li Shouyi were bored and stared around Xue Chongxun's mansion for several days, without any gains or any information.

After the matter was repeated, he even asked Li Longji. Gao Lishi also found out the process of the censors' behavior. As the censors should report back to the emperor, he calmly tried his best to find an opportunity to stay by the emperor's side.

Gao Lishi's official position was a minister of the court and was a minister of the inner court. He was always with the emperor, so this matter was not difficult.

Gao Lishi thought: Since Li Shouyi wants to force himself to catch the murderer, it is better to help him.

The mastermind behind the killing of his cousin was naturally Xue Chongxun, but Gao Lishi also hated the Xue slave who killed him by himself. If she died, she could relieve her hatred in her heart.

Two more days later, Li Dan met the Censor in Linde Hall because he had just held a singing and dancing banquet here and had not left yet, and Linde Hall had the function of meeting officials on informal occasions.

At this time, Li Dan was very interested. The dancers at the banquet were as beautiful as flowers and graceful as they danced. It was a great enjoyment when watching, so he still felt unsatisfied after the banquet.

What a joyful banquet, what a pleasant scene.

Being the owner of the Daming Palace, life is rich and colorful. Li Dan not only likes the banquets in Linde Hall, but also likes to sit on the high dragon throne in Hanyuan Hall to watch the magnificent scene of thousands of officials looking at Chang'an and the nations worshiping Hanyuan.

Respected status, rich life, and broad mind, this is what it feels like to be an emperor...

However, Li Dan was filled with awe and fear for his chair.

He has experienced more than a dozen bloody coups in his life. Aren’t he all competing for this position?

The road to the throne is not paved with red carpets, but bright red blood!

In short, if you don’t want to lose the throne, you have to hold power in your hands.So Li Dan always regularly inquire about major affairs in the court. After today's banquet, he met several ministers in Linde Hall.

The Censor of the Censorate also met with the emperor at this time.

As Xiao Zhizhong expected, after hearing the Censor's reply, Li Dan asked first: Have you ever asked about peace?

The censor replied: When he returned to the emperor, His Highness the Princess believed that Duke Wei was an important minister of the court and a relative of the royal country. He should take into account his dignity and should not be humiliated at will in the government office.

Li Dan nodded and asked again: Do Sanlang know?

The Censor said: The Crown Prince is in charge of the country, so he has naturally reported to His Highness the Crown Prince.His Highness said that the government is clear and the rewards and punishments should be clearly distinguished regardless of relatives and alienation. If Duke Wei is suspected, he should be investigated impartially... However, major military and national affairs, appointments of officials above the fifth rank and above, and important criminal cases should still be decided by the emperor.Duke Wei was the Taichang minister, and the crown prince had no right to order rewards and punishments.

Li Dan pondered endlessly, still hesitating.At this moment, Gao Lishi on the side said softly: Emperor, Duke Wei is suspected. If he does not investigate, the suspicion will not be clear. If he fails to settle it, it will be unfair.

Although Gao Lishi said something not loud, Li Dan heard it clearly. He hesitated again and felt that Gao Lishi said something reasonable, so he told the censor: Then let the censor follow Li Shouyi to check whether the suspect is really in the Duke of Wei’s Mansion. Xue Chongxun is my nephew, so he asked him to pay attention to etiquette.

……

After Xue Chongxun learned of the emperor's will, he was very surprised and immediately thought to himself: Today is indeed a person who is swaying from side to side. If I put my hope on him, I am afraid I won't know how I die...

Mr. Lang, the big thing is wrong. The old man Li Shouyi shouted outside. If he didn't open the door, he forced his way into the mansion to search, saying that we were the imperial edict issued today.Jixiang ran in panic.

Xue Chongxun frowned and said: Ask someone to open the door...

Jixiang ran to the gate after he got the words and told the doorman to open the gate. The Xue family's servants stood at the gate and were waiting for him.

The Xu soldiers outside were also eyeing each other. This situation was already very nervous. What etiquette could be said?

Li Shouyi waved his hand and said: Enter the mansion, search carefully for me, and you can’t miss every corner!

After shouting, he gave a wink to a guard beside him, but the guard's eyes deliberately avoided, with a look of fear.

This person is a slave in Feng's mansion. He met Sanniang on the day of the incident, and Li Shouyi came to him to recognize him.

But he was very afraid of Xue Chongxun and persuaded him, and finally let him dress up as a soldier and quietly recognize others. He was willing to do so.

After Li Shou and his side entered the mansion, they dispatched personnel and arranged two teams to search every part of the Xue Mansion.Xue Chongxun's follower Jixiang ran back and forth and reported the situation to Xue Chongxun at any time.

Xue Chongxun also began to feel anxious, mainly because he had never expected the emperor to issue such an order. As soon as he got the news, Li Shouyi was about to go into the mansion to search, and Xue Chongxun was basically not prepared.

The Xue Mansion has been arrested, and now Sanniang is letting her run out to herself, but the Duke of Wei’s Mansion is so big that it cannot be compared with the wider place of Princess Taiping’s Mansion in Zhenguo. Where can she hide people?

Sanniang had been called by Pei Niang sent by Xue Chongxun and was next to Xue Chongxun.

Seeing Xue Chongxun frowning and paced back and forth, Sanniang was not panicked, but said lightly in her hoarse voice: Mr. Lang has done his best. Sanniang has no regrets when she sees Mr. Lang worrying about me so much.Why not just hand me over, anyway, there is no place to go, so as not to hide from others and be ridiculed in vain.

Guy, Guy!The official has passed the corridor and immediately entered the cave door and saw us!Jixiang ran and shouted under the eaves.

At this time, Sanniang actually showed a smile on her pale face. It was the first time that Xue Chongxun saw her smiling when she saw her laugh, but she was still in such a critical and embarrassing situation.

Xue Chongxun was thinking hard and couldn't help but asked casually: Why are you laughing at?

Sanniang smiled and said: I laugh at the way my husband looks now...

Perhaps it was Sanniang's smile that hurt Xue Chongxun somewhere in his heart. He now felt inexplicable and was very reluctant to lose her.

In fact, Sanniang is not a very important person to him.

But as long as you are a human, how can you be completely ruthless?

Xue Chongxun now doesn’t care about pursuing herself why she feels like this? Perhaps it’s because she has kindness to her?

People's psychology is really elusive: if others are kind to you, they feel uncomfortable if they are in debt; on the other hand, if they are kind to you, they feel that person is very kind to you.

Or are you sympathizing with her life experience and experience?In short, Xue Chongxun doesn't understand, and he doesn't have time to think about it.

Langjun, they are at the door!

At this time, Sanniang was still standing in front of Xue Chongxun's door and did not start hiding at all.

Sanniang said again: I have poison in my teeth. As long as I bite it, I will not say anything.We don’t have to struggle unnecessary... Let me remember your goodness and die better.

Is Xue Chongxun really good to her?Then who is the death she is facing now?

No!Xue Chongxun said decisively, people cannot leave their fate!Come with me.After saying that, he didn't care much and grabbed Sanniang's hand and walked into the room.

The first time I grabbed her hand, it was really cold. Xue Chongxun didn’t understand why a living person had a ghostly cold hand?
