Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Changsun Wuji felt the hostility in Guo Ye's eyes, and also heard the knife hidden in Guo Ye's words, but he just snorted coldly and didn't say much.

About half an hour later, suddenly a group of yamen servants returned to Dali Temple and entered the courtroom. There was no sign of Cui Henian, and they seemed to return empty-handed.

One of the leading yamen servants shouted in a panic: "My lords, I was one step late. An hour ago, Cui Henian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, committed suicide by hanging himself in fear of crime!"

"what?"

"How could this be?"

"This...how is this possible?"

Wei Ting, Yu Deshui, Yu Shinan, and even Li Daozong all changed their expressions suddenly when they heard the words, and they all exclaimed in disbelief.

At this time, Guo Ye noticed with sharp eyes that Changsun Wuji felt a faint sigh of relief in his chest, and his tightly locked brows slowly relaxed.

Paralyzed, Guo Ye cursed inwardly, could it be that he had noticed something strange a long time ago and expected that something was wrong today, so he designed the rear move in advance?

"Ha ha ha ha……"

In an instant, Guo Ye's heart surged with resentment, he looked up to the sky with a long smile and scolded angrily: "Changsun Wuji, Mr. Gao is not going to die, and he is watching you from the sky with his eyes open. Changsun Wuji, you are not a son of man!"

Chapter 918

Changsun Wuji already had a ghost in his heart, but now that Guo Ye exposed it so bluntly, even cursing and intimidating him, his face turned pale with fright, as if there were really a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

hiss……

A bone-piercing chill suddenly rose on his back, he suddenly shuddered, and angrily reprimanded in his heart: "Guo Ye, you are presumptuous! Come on, take him, take him..."

"Holding him" for a long time, he didn't know how to deal with Guo Ye.

Because the facts are right in front of him, Guo Ye has now cleared his innocence, and it is impossible to punish him and hold him accountable.

Since this is the case, Changsun Wuji has nothing to do with him, and there is nothing he can do.

At this moment, Yu Shinan, a sophisticated old fox, winked at Guo Ye again and again, signaling him not to argue with Changsun Wuji any more, because Changsun Wuji would give him an excuse.

Guo Ye naturally understands that with Cui Henian committing suicide in fear of crime and hanging himself on a beam, then all the clues will be broken with Cui Henian's death. .Cui Henian is dead, so naturally no one will involve Changsun Wuji again.

As for why Cui Henian hanged himself at this time, Guo Ye can figure it out with his toes. The instigator is nothing more than Changsun Wuji.

Once Cui Henian died, everything came to an abrupt end, whether it was a strong man cutting off his wrist, or abandoning his car to protect his handsome man, at least Changsun Wuji had already cleared himself up.

Guo Ye could only suppress the resentment in his heart, and said coldly: "Changsun Wuji, people are doing it, and the sky is watching. Those who are devoid of conscience will naturally be rewarded by heaven! It's a pity for Mr. Gao, who has endured so much hardship. I raised someone, but I ended up raising a white-eyed wolf. Poor..."

Changsun Wuji couldn't hear the sarcasm in these words. He was repeatedly criticized and ridiculed by Guo Ye in full view of the public, and he was also dubbed an "unfamiliar white-eyed wolf". How could he hold on, and immediately shouted out of embarrassment:

"Guo Ye, keep talking nonsense. Believe it or not, I will come to the palace to see His Majesty, and you can read a book? What crime should you be guilty of for slandering the prime minister?"

Guo Ye shrugged his shoulders and said disdainfully: "If you want to publish tabloids and wear small shoes, I can do whatever you want! Hehe, your eldest grandson doesn't do such things rarely? You have a younger sister who is a queen, what a sign, it scares me to death !"

Changsun Wuji got angry again, and walked down the hall angrily, pointing angrily: "Say more..."

"Okay, stop arguing!"

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, stood between Changsun Wuji and Guo Ye, and reprimanded him: "A prime minister of the dynasty, a relative of the emperor, a prince, a prince, and a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the founding marquis of the dynasty, are actually in the courtroom. What is the proper way to come and go like a shrew swearing at the street? My lord, since Cui Henian committed suicide in fear of crime, then this case should be settled as soon as possible. The emperor is still waiting for the king to enter the palace to report the result of the case. If you want to quarrel, If you guys go out of Dali Temple and argue again, don't blindly waste this king's time."

Li Daozong opened his mouth, and Guo Ye stopped his flag and drums, and left the center of the court with an innocent body, and walked to Yu Shinan's side.

In addition to Guo Ye, Li Daozong was the most breathless in the court. Today he came to listen to the case at the emperor's order.

Moreover, the emperor also let him know about this matter. Today's court trial will inevitably be a surprise, and Changsun Wuji will definitely be confessed by Cui Henian and then involved.

How could Li Daozong not understand the emperor's mind?It has not been a day or two since the other party wants to weaken the strength of the Guanlong family. As the royal family, they naturally stand on the united front with the emperor, and they will prosper and lose together.

For this reason, he specially brought out all the guards of his Jiangxia Palace today, and they are on standby outside Dali Temple.

He expected it to be very good, as long as Cui Henian pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and confessed to Changsun Wuji, he would throw a cup as a warning, and the guards of the palace rushed in like a tide, and took this guy down!

But, damn it, it's really unlucky that the most important Cui Henian died!

Li Daozong not only held his breath, but also felt worried, how can he explain to the emperor when he enters the palace now.

It is inevitable that His Majesty Li Er will be furious again. If the city gate is on fire, he will definitely be affected by Chi Yu.

bother!

Irritability!

Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still moaning, Li Daozong couldn't help but vent his anger on Changsun Wuji, relying on his status as a royal family, and shouted: "Master Changsun, are you still going to finish? Hurry up and close the case, my lord." I have to rush into the palace."

This tone is really bossy, and it doesn't mean that Changsun Wuji is an onion at all.

Changsun Wuji was so angry, feeling the atmosphere in the courtroom, the more he felt it, the more he felt that it was something that grandma didn't love and uncle didn't love.

At any rate, I am also Zhao Guogong, at any rate, I am also the right servant of the current Shangshu, at any rate, I am also the queen's own brother, you don't even have a little respect?

First, Guo Ye yelled and cursed at him, and then Li Daozong urged him to come and go, Changsun Wuji's face turned green again!

But with Cui Henian's death, his heart is now much more at ease.As long as the strength is preserved and the foundation of the Guanlong family is not pulled out because of Cui Henian, that is the biggest chance of winning.

At least, in Changsun Wuji's view, he won this battle if he was not knocked down by the sudden change.

Therefore, he endured Li Daozong's ridicule for the time being, and walked back to the courtroom with restraint, and discussed with Wei Ting and Yu Deshui mutteringly.

In the end, the three passed unanimously and came up with the final case.

But he was running out of words today, so he handed over the sentencing to Wei Ting.

Only Wei Ting announced righteously: "The first criminal in this case, Cui Henian, committed suicide in fear of crime. He is dead, so he will not be held accountable. But the matter has been found out, Huo Guogong and Yizhou Hou were wronged, and they were naturally released without charge. How to compensate the two, it is not up to me to presume to make decisions, the emperor will decide. Cough cough... As for the accomplice Zhao Feixuan, although he was instigated by Cui Henian and threatened by Cui Henian during the period, he was always It was a big mistake, and hundreds of people died in vain. Therefore, the three divisions unanimously ruled that Zhao Feixuan—”

Wei Ting paused deliberately when he said this. In order to create a better atmosphere, he deliberately delayed speaking, and looked around at everyone present.

Sure enough, everyone turned their eyes on him, and Zhao Feixuan stared at Wei Ting with his heart hanging in his throat.

After achieving the expected effect, Wei Ting coughed twice, and continued to announce: "As the so-called state-owned state law, before the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there was no room for favoritism. Zhao Feixuan, the crime is unforgivable, and a hundred deaths cannot atone for it. It was an exaggeration. However, reading the truth at the end wiped away the innocence of Huo Guogong and Yizhou Hou, so the three judges unanimously sentenced Zhao Feixuan to death, beheaded for public display, and left his body to his family for burial. Three days later, he was executed at the execution ground in the suburbs of Chang'an .”

Boom~

Zhao Feixuan knew that he was bound to die, but after hearing the news, his mind was blank and chaotic, as if his skeleton had been taken out of him, and he fell limply on the ground like a lump of mud.

All the people present gave him indifferent eyes, no one sympathized with him, it's a pity for him.After all, justice must be given to the dead. Thousands of people were killed and injured in the collapse of the imperial tomb, and Zhao Feixuan is not dead. How can he convince the public?

Soon, Changsun Wuji escaped first through a small path behind the court.

Then Wei Ting, Yu Deshui, Li Daozong and others left one after another.

The merchant who was already doomed to die was also taken to court.
