Chapter 528 Confession

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Boshi filtered it. Li Mu is not such a despicable person. Although he has done something a little bit unreasonable, he has certain rules. How many times did Duke Wei offended him? He has never taken revenge on Duke Wei. It shows that this son is a person with open heart. He will not frame the loyal and kind person."

Yu Shinan was still about to speak, but was interrupted by Changsun Wuji and said, "Besides, you have no grudges with him in the future and no grudges in the near future. Why did he cause trouble for you? If I remember correctly in calligraphy, Ouyang Xun did not admit his disciple, but only said that he was self-understanding and could not be considered a teacher. Don't worry about it."

Yu Shinan sighed, "I'm afraid he will regard me as a Shandong gentry."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Boshi, you are too worried. Whether it is the Shandong gentry or the Heshuo hero, what is important is not the origin, but the attitude. If you are looking to Your Majesty and the court, it doesn't matter what your background is, but if you think about other origins, you will not be spared.

Yu Shinan's face changed and he smiled unnaturally: "What the uncle said is so true. I have received the emperor's kindness, so I am naturally dedicated to the court and to Your Majesty."

"That's fine, there's no need to worry."

As he was talking, there was a commotion outside the tent. Changsun Wuji and Yu Shinan came to the door and eavesdropped. It was a lieutenant. He had just returned from the forest where the interrogation was interrogating and chatted with his robes. His voice was not deliberately lowered. The night was quiet and almost everyone nearby could hear it.

"...I've found one, hey, guess who this person is? He is the eldest son of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the nephew of the Shizhong Wang Gui!"

"...ah, then Master Shizhong has to protect him, right?"

"Preserve?" the captain sneered: "Your Majesty was assassinated. The assassin was actually the nephew of the Shizhong. He could get rid of it? You forgot that the Shizhong was once under the command of Prince Yin, and he was the absolute confidant! Maybe he was sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Your Majesty, and wanting to avenge Prince Yin!"

Changsun Wuji and Yu Shinan could hear it clearly, and their faces changed a little. If the matter involved the Xuanwu Sect, it would not be possible to understand it casually. Long has reverse scales, and he will die if he touched it. If this matter is confirmed, Wang Gui will die, and the Wang family in Taiyuan will also have a layer of skin.

Just as the captain was about to continue analyzing, Cheng Yaojin came over from a distance: "What are you talking about nonsense? Is this something you can argue about? I want to keep your mouth shut, and it's useless. I'll cut your tongue!"

The captain was scolded and dared not speak again, and his voice gradually disappeared.

Cheng Yaojin came over, and Changsun Wuji hurriedly pulled Yu Shinan back. Before the two could say a word, they heard Cheng Yaojin's voice coming through the next military tent.

"Oh... the matter is wrong. Your nephew has confessed, so I don't have to say much. Wang Shizhong, come with me."

Wang Gui was stunned, and Wei Zheng helped him speak, "Cheng Yaojin! Don't be tainted and innocent. I will never believe that this matter was instructed by Shujie! I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"

Cheng Yaojin sneered, "Mr. Wei, don't yell here. You can't tell me, I'm just an errand runner. I'll do whatever I ask me to do. The interrogation was tried by Jinyiwei and the factory guards. On one side is Li Mu's man, and on the other side is Eunuch Gao's man. If you think it's unfair, go to them. However, I feel that there is no need. I have seen the boy from the Wang family. I came to Chang'an a year ago and studied in Hongwenguan. My face was full of flesh and my skin was too clear, so I couldn't deny it."

Wang Gui reacted and murmured: "Are you talking about Wang Zhi? Is it him?"

"It seems that I'm calling this name, and I didn't remember it." Cheng Yaojin made a gesture of invitation and said, "The Shizhong must know it, so let's go with me? To be honest, you have to go if you want to go or not, why force me to move?"

"No!" Wei Zheng stopped in front of Wang Gui. They were both Li Jiancheng's confidants. Although they had a few rifts after many years, they were closer to others. What's important is that Wei Zheng really didn't believe that this matter would be done by Wang Gui. He had known Wang Gui for twenty years and did not believe that Wang Gui had such courage!

Cheng Yaojin did not give Wei Zheng a chance to speak, and stretched out his big hand like a bear's paw and swung Wei Zheng two meters away, snorting coldly: "Wei Zheng, you can't protect yourself, and you still have the heart to control others? There are still five living people, and before dawn, they all have to be tricked. If one is involved with you, the next one will be caught! You dare to assassinate Your Majesty, so brave! Your Majesty is furious. No one can save this time, and the five horses are all light to dismember you!"

Wei Zheng got up from the ground, stared at him and shouted, "I want to see Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is seriously injured and is resting. You traitors have no time to see you traitors!"

Cheng Yaojin dropped a sentence, grabbed Wang Gui's arm, and dragged him out of the military tent. He is Li Shimin's direct line and a powerful general in the Qin Prince's Mansion. Wang Gui and Wei Zheng have always been from the Prince's Mansion. The two sides have been in the same power for many years and have long disliked each other. Liangzi has always had it. However, after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he deliberately suppressed it in order to balance the power of the court. Now that such a thing has happened, it is already considered good if he doesn't take any harm. How can he be polite?

Wang Gui's face was ashamed. He had a premonition on the way he came, but he didn't want to believe it. He still had a trace of luck in his heart, hoping that he would not be his stupid nephew. Unexpectedly, God would do anything to do, and the more he didn't want it to happen, it would happen.

Wang Gui thought to himself that my life was over, and he lost a trace of strength on his body. He was dragged away by two soldiers, and his boots were worn out.

When the other people in the military tent saw Wang Gui's miserable situation, they became nervous. Yu Shinan was even more frightened. He really couldn't guarantee whether there was his nephew there. The key was that this thing was not visible, and the right to speak was in the hands of others. It was obvious that it was not, but he could not help but say it!

The soldiers dragged Wang Gui in front and Cheng Yaojin was behind. When they passed by Changsun Wuji's military tent, Cheng Yaojin suddenly stopped.

"Did the uncle rest?"

Changsun Wuji signaled Yu Shinan not to speak, and responded: "I haven't rested yet, I know that there is something wrong with the secret?"

"Boy Li Mu asked me to invite my uncle to come over and discuss something."

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, did not move, and said, "It is not convenient to meet you when you are guilty. Please convey it on your behalf. Please try the assassin and see you again after the suspicion is lifted."

"Boy Li Mu said that if the uncle of Guo was also an assassin, the Tang Dynasty would be over. He would be willing to believe the uncle, so he would ask the uncle to meet him." After pausing, Cheng Yaojin said again: "He also said that if the uncle does not go, he may regret it."

Changsun Wuji was still hesitating, and Yu Shinan whispered: "It's better to meet the uncle. It's a good thing that the boy Zhulu Hou can trust the uncle so much. If you can meet His Majesty and ask the uncle for helping him, I'm really an innocent person!"

Changsun Wuji nodded slightly, stood up and went outside the tent. Cheng Yaojin glanced into the tent and said, "There are other people in the tent?"

"No."

Cheng Yaojin did not look at it carefully, and asked his personal guard to lead a horse and said, "Please."

After thanking Changsun Wuji got on the horse, he followed Wang Gui who was hiking ahead and went to see Li Mu.

...

In the woods.

Wang Zhi, who had passed by Sangou twice, was raised by two jailers and knelt in front of Li Mu.

Li Mu glanced at him and saw that he had no injuries, but he seemed to be dehydrated and could not even open his eyes. He couldn't help but feel very curious about how Sangou did it. He was really good at it.

"Kill me..."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Li Mu looked at Wang Zhi, smiled and said, "To be honest, Mrs. Mudan and I are friends... You are Wang Zhi, right? You are her cousin? Since you have a relative, it's easy to deal with. I value family affection the most. Tell me the person behind you, and I will let you go. How about it?"

Wang Zhi raised his head and looked at Li Mu, suddenly sneered, and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Will you believe your nonsense? No one instructed me, just like I want to kill you! I might as well tell you that I want to kill you, besides this incident, there is also..."

There was no sound. Li Mu waited for a long time, frowned and shouted, "Sangou, Sangou! Why is it silent, dead?"

Sangou ran over, put his finger under the man's nose and tried to breathe. He turned around and signaled his younger brother. He brought a bucket of water and poured it directly from Wang Zhi's head.

The water was made from ice water that was chiseled through the river surface, mixed with ice chips, which was so cold that it was outrageous. After the bucket was down, Wang Zhi immediately woke up, glared at Li Mu, and cursed: "Li Mu, if you have the guts, kill me, otherwise when I get out of trouble, I will make the scandal of you and Wang Ou public, so that everyone in the world knows what a man and a woman you are."

"Bang!"

Li Mu shook his hand and slapped Wang Zhi's two teeth away, making his face covered in blood.

Wang Zhi tilted his head and quickly twisted his neck back. He looked at Li Mu, spitting blood in his mouth and said, "I can't hide my face, right? Li Mu! You dare not behave? You rural villager, rude, actually hooked up with a widow! You are shameless! The Wang family in Taiyuan will never allow such a scandal to happen. I want to kill you! I also want to kill her! You all have to die! All have to die!!"

"Oh..." Li Mu sighed and said to himself: "I'm really bored. I really wanted to save your life. Unfortunately, your mouth is really smelly."

Sangou understood Li Mu's intentions, his eyes lit up, he pulled out a dagger from his arms, and looked at Li Mu. Li Mu was about to nod when suddenly he saw Wang Gui being brought over, shook his head, and winked at Sangou.

Sangou took out a confession from his arms, grabbed Wang Zhi's hand, and slashed a dagger on his palm. Blood flowed out. He used his other hand, dipped in blood, pressed the handprint on the confession, and then blocked his mouth with something.

At this time, Wang Gui came to the front and saw Wang Zhi kneeling on the ground. He carefully identified with the light of the torch and confirmed that it was him, and his face became even darker.
