Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Hearing what the two said, Wang Gui felt a little confused, and said, "What are you talking about? How do you understand what you said? I can't find anything here, so someone has to die. Is it that serious?"

Li Xinglian said bitterly: "Actually, the result of this matter is more serious than you imagined. Not only Zhong'er's life is in danger, but I, Li Xinglian, will also suffer a big loss..." Then, Li Xinglian told what happened, Wang Gui said it again.

Of course, some things can be told the truth to Wang Gui, and some things need to be written in Chunqiu.

Li Xinglian suspected that the disappearance of Lu Yanniang had something to do with His Majesty Li Er, so he made a fuss in the Chang'an government office in a rage, but was caught by His Majesty Li Er.His Majesty Li Er was furious and wanted to punish Li Xinglian for his crimes.Later, thanks to Guo Ye's intercession, there was a three-day agreement.

These things show that Li Xinglian is not afraid of the powerful, and Guo Ye repays his grievances with virtue.It's all good, of course.

However, Li Zhong had an affair with his stepmother, and Guo Ye and Li Xinglian wanted to use the monk from Dade Temple as a scapegoat... These things cannot be seen clearly, so they cannot tell the truth.

According to Li Xinglian, what happened was like this: Lu Yanniang first disappeared mysteriously, and then was rescued by bad people on the street.Guo Ye hurriedly interrogated Lu Yanniang, and learned that the gang of robbers had said the three words "Dade Temple".That's why uncle and nephew Li Xinglian and Guo Ye came to search Dade Temple.

In the end, Li Xinglian said: "All in all, what happened today is all the fault of Qin Guogong's mistaken belief in others. I hope the old servant will remember that there is a reason for the incident. Please forgive me and let the two of us go."

"Sure?"

"Exactly!"

Wang Gui snorted coldly, and said: "Li Shilang, do you think this old man is getting old, his memory is not good, and he is even... old and confused!"

"How dare, how dare! Why did Wang Shizhong say such a thing?"

"Not long ago, you said once that Qin Guogong mistrusted people's words. The old man asked you, whose words he mistrusted, and you said it was your nephew Li Zhong. Why is he now your brother and daughter-in-law again?" ?”

Li Xinglian's thoughts changed sharply, and he said: "Uh... Actually, this is what happened... My brother and daughter-in-law were overly frightened, and they couldn't make a sound when they saw strangers. Therefore, Zhong'er was the one who asked Qin Guogong's questions. , and Lu Yanniang's answer was to tell Zhong'er first, and then Zhong'er relayed to Qin Guogong. Therefore, it can be said that Zhong'er told Qin Guogong about this matter, and it can also be said that Lu Yanniang told Qin Guogong."

Wang Gui smacked his mouth a few times, and said: "Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, it is not completely impossible. Well, I will believe you once. However, I still have a question, please explain it!"

Only then did Li Xinglian wipe the cold sweat off his forehead, and said: "Wang Shizhong, you can ask... Li must know everything and talk about it!"

"With the three-day agreement, if the case cannot be solved today, His Majesty will punish you for the crime of false accusation, this old man can understand. But, what does the three-day agreement have to do with Li Zhong? In this case, he is completely the one who suffers." How do you look at your posture, if you can't solve the case today, his life is in danger?"

"This... In fact, this question, I can also explain..." Li Xinglian's mind is really good for the master who can be the servant of Zhongshu, he said: "Zhong'er lost his mother when he was young, and lost his father when he was young. He always felt that his own fate was too hard, so he overcame his parents. Now, his stepmother had this incident again, and the old man also offended His Majesty for this matter. This child attributes all this to his own fate Not good, punishing relatives, that's why I want to commit suicide!"

Wang Gui nodded, and said: "This explanation...is far-fetched enough, well, I will make an exception, even if you are right."

"So, your old man is willing to let Qin Guogong and Zai go?"

"If what you said is true, it's okay for me to let you go. However, I can't just listen to your side of the story..."

"Then you mean..."

"Now you, Qin Guogong and Li Zhong are all here, only Lu Yanniang is still in the Chang'an government office. Please Qin Guogong give me a certificate, I will send someone to fetch Lu Yanniang, and ask again. If what she said is the same as you said, The old man can let you go. If it's different... Hehe, I'm sorry!"

Wang Gui is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can he be so easily deceived?He grasped the key point at once, it is not difficult to tell a lie, and it is not difficult to justify yourself, the difficult thing is to get others to help you lie!As long as you bring Lu Yanniang, everything will be revealed!

Now that things are up to now, it is meaningless to be stubborn!Li Xinglian was ashamed and said: "No need! Old servant, I, Li Xinglian, did lie to you just now...you can do whatever you want!"

"How about you, Mr. Qin?"

"Me?" Guo Ye smiled wryly, and said, "What else can I do? I would like to admit defeat! Wang Shizhong, I will go to the palace with you and wait for your Majesty's orders."

"That's great. Let's go then..."

"Slow! Wang Shizhong, before I leave, I want to kowtow to your ancestors and ask them to forgive Guo for disturbing him!"

"Qin Guogong has a heart, please!"

Guo Ye lifted his clothes and knelt down, and when he raised his head again, his face was already beaming with joy!

Chapter 1738 Willow Dark Flower Bright Another Village

Before Guo Ye left, he kowtowed to Wang Gui's ancestors, on the one hand, to express his apology, and on the other hand, subconsciously, he hadn't given up yet!In other words, this is his intentional delay!

Unexpectedly, poor God, when he bowed down, he really discovered a big secret!

I saw a slight scratch on the bluestone board next to the biggest statue!This trace is not obvious, and it can only be barely seen when the angle is right when kneeling.

Wang Gui's family temple was built by the decree of His Majesty Li Er, and the Ministry of Households paid for it and spared no expense in building it.The bluestone slabs used have all been carefully polished, and now there are scratches, so there are only two possibilities!

The first possibility is that Wang Gui's grandfather has a spirit, and he needs to move his muscles and bones when he is tired from standing.Those scratches were made by himself!

The second possibility is that this statue is often moved, and it has been moved a lot, so there are these traces!

Guo Ye, as an atheist, of course only believes in the second possibility!

Now the question arises, this statue represents Wang Gui's grandfather, why is it moved frequently?Could it be that there is another cellar under this statue?

Guo Ye said: "Wang Shizhong, Mr. Guo has another unfeeling request!"

Wang Gui's complexion darkened, and he said, "I already know that you won't give up so easily. Tell me, what are you trying to do?"

"I dare you to move your grandfather's statue."

Old Wang Gui said angrily: "I finally understand, you kid is winning! Why? Can't afford to lose? You want to vent your anger on the statue of the old man's ancestor? Let me tell you, daydreaming!"

"Then how can it be? Wang Shizhong, listen to me, there are many scratches on the bluestone slab next to the statue of your ancestor! What does this mean? It means that the statue is often moved!"

"Scratches?" Wang Gui was full of suspicion, and said, "Wait for the old man to see..."

"Wang Shizhong, you are really reasonable."

Guo Ye had a good plan. No matter how unfilial old Wang Gui was, he would not ignore the abilities of the ancestor statues. As long as he found those scratches, he would allow Guo Ye to find out!

However, people are not as good as heaven, this Wang Shizhong is a presbyopia!Wang Gui looked at it for a long time, sneered, and said, "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I didn't find any scratches! You can't move this statue!"

"Uh...maybe it's because you're old and your eyesight isn't very good, why don't you let your entourage see it?"

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Alright, Wang Erfu, take a look."

Wang Erfu was Wang Gui's subordinate, and he wanted to support Wang Gui in his heart.He took a cursory glance, but found no scratches, and said, "Reporting to the waiter, the villain didn't see any scratches either."

Guo Ye was anxious, and said: "Wang Erfu, take a closer look! As long as the angle is right, those scratches can be clearly seen! It's understandable that Wang Shizhong couldn't see it when he was old, but you are young, why don't you have eyesight? Is it good?"

Wang Erfu twisted his neck, rolled his eyes, and said, "My eyes are good! The problem is that there are no scratches on the bluestone board. Where do you want me to look?"

Wang Gui sneered, and said, "Duke Qin, I'm afraid it's not that Wang Erfu's eyesight is not good, but that you are unwilling to fail, and you have hallucinations in your panic!"

"How is that possible? Li Shilang, take a look..."

An even more tragic thing happened, Li Xinglian is 47 this year, and his eyes are not very good!Li Xinglian looked at it for a long time, with a look of embarrassment on his face, and said: "Duke Qin, normally I shouldn't have said this...but...it really didn't..."

Wang Gui said proudly: "Li Shilang is with you. Now he is not on your side. What does this mean? It shows that Li Shilang is an honest man and speaks with his conscience. There is really nothing wrong here." mark."

Li Xinglian said with a bitter face: "Duke Qin, forget it! We really fell for it today. If you completely surrender, you and I will look better. If you continue to be so...so clumsy, it's too..."

Guo Ye cursed "pig teammate" in his heart, and said to Wang Gui: "Whether you can see it or not, in short, I will move that statue today! If you agree, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree!"
