- Chapter 61 Attack the heart and cut off all clues
Li Shimin is a qualified king. The first condition for a qualified king is not his own talent and learning, but the ability to know people and make good use of them.
In this regard, Li Shimin did an outstanding job. He knew Wei Zheng and the officials of Dali Temple. If they really couldn't find any clues, it would be impossible for them to say such ambiguous words based on their personalities.
There is something worth pondering in this.
Whether Wu Yuanqing was the mastermind or not, he could not escape his involvement in the betrayal of Tang Army intelligence. He is a second offender and must be tried and then sanctioned. But now this second criminal has disappeared without a trace, which makes people doubt that there is something fishy about it.
There are two possibilities for Wu Yuanqing¡¯s disappearance. One possibility is that Wu Yuanqing noticed something unusual and escaped in order to save his life. The other kind is to silence people and not keep their ashes.
Wu Yuanqing is no longer a prince, and his power in Chang'an is limited. Now he is able to prosper all because he is in the lap of his eldest grandson, Shunde.
Changsun Shunde was captured and tried, but this incident did not spread. Because the eldest grandson Shunde is the Duke of the country, the matter is of great importance and will not be announced to the public.
Because Changsun Wuji is the head of the Changsun family, he can know all this at the first time. Others, even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, didn't know any information before the case was finalized, let alone Wu Yuanqing, a commoner.
Therefore, the first possibility is extremely slim. Besides, even if Wu Yuanqing noticed the abnormality first, he wouldn't be able to disappear without leaving a trace. He didn't have that ability yet.
The possibility of being silenced is far greater than absconding.
The problem arises here.
According to the development of the situation, is it necessary for Wu Yuanqing to be silenced?
"Absolutely not. Changsun Shunde truthfully confessed all his crimes. The meaning of Wu Yuanqing's existence is just to go through the process, state his faults, and then be sentenced and receive the punishment he deserves."
But this is not the case. Wu Yuanqing has a high chance of being silenced. There is only one explanation for that. Wu Yuanqing had a reason to be silenced. He knew something he shouldn't know. All the crimes Changsun Shunde confessed may not be true. He was taking the blame for others.
As the lord of the country, the eldest son Shunde has the ability to let him take the punishment. Who has the ability to make him willingly suffer for others.
The answer is almost ready to come out.
Changsun Wuji is the most suspect.
Li Shimin looked horrified and stared at Wei Zheng with his eyes.
Wei Zheng was alert and understood that Li Shimin had heard the implication. He did not mince words and said bluntly: "As your Majesty thought, I feel that Lord Changsun is the most suspicious, but there is no evidence."
Li Shimin said with a livid face: "Wei Qing, you need to understand the importance of what you say. Wuji is the first civil and military person in our dynasty, and his position is of great importance. You should not make such hasty conclusions."
Wei Zheng fearlessly raised his voice and said: "I definitely have reason to suspect that Changsun Shunde did plead guilty and took all the blame. But he couldn't tell the details at all. He just said that he conspired with Wu Yuanqing and bribed Lu Qiang. But he He had no idea how he contacted Lu Qiang, how he came into contact with Lu Qiang who was on an expedition, and what method he used to pass the information to Tubo. How could he be a mastermind? In addition, as far as I know, Wu Yuanqing He is full of tricks, greedy for money and lust, but he is not the kind of person with deep intentions. He also cannot take charge of everything behind the scenes. There must be someone behind them. Lord Changsun and Lord Du have an old grudge, and he has this motive and ability. In my opinion, he is the biggest and the only suspect at present."
Li Shimin is still very concerned about Changsun Wuji, but as a king, a bowl of water must be balanced. He said solemnly: "The case is not closed, continue to investigate."
**********
Naturally, it is impossible for Wu Yuanqing to disappear out of thin air. He just appeared because of need, and now he disappeared because of need.
Shi Weigong restored his original appearance again and met Wu Meiniang openly.
His identity is a steward of the Du Mansion, and Wu Meiniang is in charge of some affairs of the Du Mansion. The meeting between them will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
"Following Madam's instructions has made Chen Cheng disappear from the world, not even ashes are left." Shi Weigong looked calm, as if he had done an insignificant thing.
"Very good" Wu Meiniang smiled and praised, nodded and said: "In the next few days, you can be your manager with peace of mind. Avoid this period of limelight and make future plans."
Shi Weigong solemnly accepted the order. Although he did notHe was a soldier, but under the control of Wu Meiniang, his discipline was as strict as that of a soldier, so he retired.
Wu Meiniang sat alone in the house, smiled softly, and whispered: "This time, you old fox can't wash away your grievances even if you jump into the Yellow River."
Wu Meiniang's greatest strength is that she is good at taking advantage of people's hearts. She suffered a lot in childhood and has a pair of eyes that can see through the essence of nature. She firmly believes that people are inherently evil at the beginning. Even a saint has his own desires and suspicions - including the emperor Li Shimin.
The method Wu Meiniang used this time was very simple. She did not leave any clues to harm Changsun Wuji. Because she knows the abilities of Dali Temple and Changsun Wuji, any clues left behind will become evidence for the other party to peel off their silks and cocoons.
What she did was to cut off all clues, cut off all clues to investigate, and remove all clues that were not conducive to Changsun Wuji.
She is truly a planner, and it is easy for her to do this kind of thing.
Li Shimin ordered a thorough investigation, but Wei Zheng and officials from Dali Temple found that they could not continue the investigation.
They are like headless flies, scurrying around and unable to find the key to solving the problem.
The key to the case lies with two people. One is Wu Yuanqing. He is one of the instigators and participated in the entire plan. As long as he is found, everything will be clear. The other is Chen Cheng, who is Changsun Shunde's confidant. He is responsible for contacting Lu Qiang, and he is also the one who contacts the Tubo internal affairs. He also knows many things.
But Wu Yuanqing disappeared, Chen Cheng also disappeared, and all clues were cut off.
Wei Zheng and the officials of Dali Temple are not without abilities. On the contrary, they are all experts in solving cases.
But who would set their sights on Wu Meiniang, a petite and lovely woman?
The more clues are not found, the greater the possibility of Changsun Wuji. Because Changsun Shunde is still detained, only Changsun Wuji has the ability to cut off all the clues and make Wei Zheng and the officials of Dali Temple lose their direction.
Evidence is the most powerful fact to identify a criminal, but the absence of evidence does not mean that the criminal is not a criminal. It just does not have the power to make the criminal pay the punishment he deserves.
After a long period of fruitlessness, even Li Shimin became suspicious. Besides Changsun Wuji, who else could make Wei Zheng and his elite soldiers and generals work in vain?
Wu Meiniang¡¯s plan was not to fight against Changsun Wuji, but to attack Li Shimin¡¯s heart.
**********
An unknown mountain peak outside Pyongyang.
The mountain peak is very broad, and there is a platform that is obviously excavated manually. The high end of the platform faces Pyongyang City.
More than a thousand people gathered at the mountain peak, each holding a hang glider, with a trace of excitement on their faces.
They have not been exposed to such a novel thing as paragliding for a long time, and there is not much time for them to practice. But as I said, the brave have nothing to fear.
The soldiers who flew into Pyongyang, opened the city gates for the siege army, and created conditions for breaking the city must be the best of the best. Only strong soldiers can shake their three armies when their strength is inferior to that of the opponent.
There is no doubt that the strongest unit of the Eastern Expeditionary Army is the Victory Army. As strong soldiers trained by the military god Li Jing, they have courage and belief that ordinary soldiers cannot compare with. Apart from them, there is no other team that can take on the key task of determining victory or defeat this time.
Su Dingfang, as the leader of the victorious army, also personally piloted a hang glider and stood at the forefront of the mountain.
Li Daozong saw the sky was dim and nodded cautiously to Su Dingfang, telling him that it was time.
Su Dingfang was not afraid of death. She first ran with a hang glider and jumped into the sky
More than a thousand victorious soldiers followed suit and jumped down. Flying from a peak like this was extremely dangerous for soldiers with little flying experience. However, they had always been brave and had generals leading the way. They all fought bravely at the moment. .
For a moment, it was as if thousands of flowers were blooming in the sky, and hang gliders led the soldiers steadily towards the front.
Li Daozong was on the cliffside of the peak. When he saw that the victory was accomplished, he couldn't help but be elated: "Goguryeo was leveled in half a year. How can this great achievement not be immortalized in history?" Then he thought of Du He who was leading the army in the south. He wondered what his current situation was like.
Su Dingfang entered the city on a hang glider. As soon as he touched the ground, he immediately climbed up to a high place and raised the flag of the Tang Army high.
The place where the hang glider lands is extremely difficult to control. They cannot gather together. The flag is the direction. The soldiers who fall into the city will rush towards the flag.
Hang gliding is mainly controlled by people. Even if the landing point is different, it is not far away.Here, gathering only takes a matter of minutes. Only a few died due to accidents, but most of them were able to land safely.
The Tang army outside the city had already been waiting for danger. Seeing the victorious warriors flying into the city, they all attacked the city with shields and swords.
At this time, a few defenders in the city were alarmed, but suddenly they saw thousands of enemies falling from the sky. They thought that the Tang army had invited heavenly soldiers and generals to come to help. Apart from the panic, how could they still have the fighting spirit?
The victorious army were unstoppable warriors, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. They took the lead in approaching the city gate before the opponent could react.
Su Dingfang ordered half of the troops to resist the incoming troops, while the other half went to open the city gate.
Their strength of a thousand people is far from being comparable to the army, but as long as they can open the city gate, the situation will be reversed.
The outcome is already decided by a fine line. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
