The yamen officer also had a nervous look on his face and replied: "The children of the Wei family who were just brought back were questioned and investigated separately according to the instructions of the governor. One of them never said a word after being brought to the hall.
It was just a casual scare, and the man took advantage of the fact that the person guarding him was not prepared, and slammed him against a pillar nearby. When he called the doctor for diagnosis and treatment, he found that he had died..."
Ma Zhou looked at Fang Jun, the four of them looked at each other speechless.
Damn! Could it be that Fang Jun was fooled?
The original intention was just to frighten these Wei family disciples and suppress them so that they would not dare to get too close to the King of Jin, but unexpectedly something like this would happen again.
But having said that, this was Fang Jun's excuse. The so-called collusion with the Hu people was just nonsense, but it caused a Wei family child to die in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion. The responsibility of Jingzhao Mansion cannot be shied away from. If it is dealt with
Improper use will have serious consequences.
Xiao Yu looked at Fang Jun and gloated: "This is really what Erlang wanted. Tomorrow morning, the impeachment memorial from the Yushitai will probably be all over the desk of His Royal Highness. It's just that Prince Bin suffered an unreasonable disaster and was killed by this
I'm so tired."
"Bin Wang" is Ma Zhou's character...
Ma Zhou had no expression on his face and stood up and said: "This matter is extraordinary. This man's death was too strange. I'm afraid there is something hidden. As for taking responsibility, it should be borne by the lower officials. There will never be any shirk."
Although this matter was caused by Fang Jun and he was just passive, he had already obtained his permission just now, so naturally he would not shirk his responsibility at this time.
Then he said to several people: "I will return to Jingzhao Mansion immediately to investigate the whole matter in detail."
Fang Jun stood up and said, "I'm going with you."
Things started because of him, so naturally we can't just sit back and watch.
Li Daozong also said: "If nothing happens, I will go and have a look."
Xiao Yu nodded and said: "It's better to check carefully. If you don't take out the Jingzhao Mansion, it will be a big trouble. I sit here and you can do what you want."
He and Fang Jun had the same position in suppressing Jingzhao Webster.
Once the Jingzhao surnames rise, no matter Wei, Du or whichever family they are, they can quickly fill the vacuum that will soon be vacated by the Guanlong nobles. Whether it is a Shandong family or a Jiangnan noble family, all the efforts may be done by others.
Wedding clothes.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Xiao Yu.
…
The yamen of Jingzhao Mansion was solemn. Many officials and yamen servants had sealed off various buildings. There was even a team of soldiers standing in front of the gate. Outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering, and people inside were not allowed to go out. Everyone was performing their duties.
No loud noises are allowed.
Ma Zhou, Fang Jun, and Li Daozong came to the yamen surrounded by soldiers. Officials immediately came to greet them, bowed and saluted, and ushered them into the yamen.
Fang Jun turned around and ordered his soldiers: "Stay at the door. If anyone dares to rush into the Yamen, capture him on the spot and put him in jail!"
"Here!"
A group of soldiers also knew that the matter was serious. After receiving Fang Jun's order, they lined up in front of the Yamen, holding swords on their waists with their hands, chests and belly raised, and full of murderous intent.
When the three of them arrived at the main hall, they saw a corpse lying in front of a pillar on one side of the hall, with a pool of blood on the ground. The corpse had probably completed the examination and was writing documents on the side. When he saw Ma Zhou coming in, he quickly put it down.
Holding the writing brush in his hand, he stood up and said, "I've met Fu Yin! I've met the king of Jiangxia County, and I've met the Duke of Yue."
Ma Zhou nodded, led Li Daozong and Fang Jun to sit on the chairs behind the desk, looked at the body lying on the ground, and asked: "How is the situation?"
Wu Zuo replied: "The deceased's name is Wei Hongguang. He is the fifth son of Wei Ren, the governor of Fangzhou. He is seventeen years old this year. Wei Hongbiao, the third son of Wei Ren, is currently serving as the officer of Prince Ji's palace. When the deceased was in court, he said the first words
He didn't say anything, but then he suddenly broke away from the guard and hit a pillar. His brain was split and he died on the spot. He couldn't be treated."
Ma Zhou frowned and looked at Li Daozong and Fang Jun beside him.
Jingzhao Weishi was a relative of the Li Tang royal family, and Li Daozong was very familiar with it. He pondered: "Wei Ren's branch can be regarded as a distant branch of Jingzhao Weishi, but there are many talents and it is very prosperous. It is not inferior to Jingzhao Weishi."
The direct branch of Jingzhao Wei Gun in the Sui Dynasty
From the martial arts officer to the left guard Zhonglang,
There was a slave named Taofu, who was extremely brave and good at fighting. Wei Gun took him with him every time he went on a campaign. He made many achievements and regarded him as his own son. Later, Wei Gun put him in a good place, and Taofu slaughtered the scalpers and offered him to him.
, please Wei Gun. Wei Gun gave him the surname Wei, but Fu did not dare to have the same surname as Gun, so later generations often called themselves 'Huangduzi Wei'. Their branch is very close to the direct branch of the Jingzhao Wei family."
Fang Jun took the confession documents from the table and looked through them carefully.
The above records are very detailed. After the officials of Jingzhao Mansion sent these Wei family children to Jingzhao Mansion, they were interrogated separately. The charge was naturally that they suspected Wei Zhengju of colluding with the Hu people and causing trouble in the capital. Not to mention whether this charge was true or false,
Now that we have arrived at the main hall of Jingzhao Mansion, everything must be carried out in accordance with the established procedures and be meticulous.
The inquiry went smoothly at first, and Wei Zhengju and others naturally denied it, but when it came to Wei Hongguang, something unexpected happened.
This man was brought to the hall for interrogation, but instead of denying it as quickly as others, he remained silent and "looked like panic".
The officials who participated in the interrogation were all veterans of the Jingzhao Mansion, and they were the best at observing words and expressions. When they saw that Wei Hongguang's expression was not normal, they dug into the matter and asked questions again and again.
As a result, Wei Hongguang was "wandering" and taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the government servant guarding him, he stood up suddenly and bumped his head against a pillar...
Fang Jun put down his confession and muttered: "There's something wrong."
Even though Jingzhao Mansion is the highest administrative office in the Gyeonggi region, ordinary people may be trembling with fear when arriving here. However, as a descendant of Jingzhao Webster, how could he not have seen such a scene and become "wandering and confused" after just asking a few questions?
The reason why he was able to hit a pillar and die can only mean that this person has a big secret in his heart that cannot be revealed to others, but he does not have the confidence to keep it secret under severe punishment, so he simply died to keep the secret.
After all, even Wei Zhengju is not sure whether Fang Jun really dares to use severe punishment, and has achieved the purpose of framing...
But what kind of secret is it that can actually make a young man from a promising family have the determination to die, and to keep it strictly guarded?
Things have gotten a bit big.
Li Daozong waved his hand and sent the couple away. He looked around and said in a low voice: "This matter is too strange. I'm afraid it has many implications. We should not be involved in it. Why don't we inform Li Junxian and let Bai Qi
The Secretary intervened in the investigation."
His thoughts were consistent with Fang Jun's. The secret that Wei Hongguang wanted to keep even to death must be earth-shattering.
Ma Zhoushen took it for granted and said immediately: "That's exactly what it should be!"
Immediately called Officer Zuo Er, handed him the interrogation statement, and ordered: "Immediately go to 'Baiqisi' and hand over this statement to Li Junxian, saying that I am waiting for him at the Yamen. In addition, all persons detained today will
The children of the Wei family who are brought back will all be detained separately and cannot be allowed to collude in confession."
"Here!"
Official Zuo Er was not a fool. When he heard the name "Hundred Cavalry Division", he knew that something big was going to happen. He didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly turned around and left.
Li Daozong looked at Fang Jun and sighed: "You are really a troublemaker."
Fang Jun said innocently: "How can you blame me? I just wanted to scare Wei Zhengju. Who knew that there were secrets in his family that could not be revealed to others. Besides, if this secret involves the imperial court,
This is a great achievement for me."
Li Daozong said angrily: "What a great achievement? Haha, just wait for Concubine Wei to cause trouble for you!"
Although Concubine Wei is a remarried woman, His Majesty Li Er is very fond of her. Even though she has been slightly indifferent to her in recent years, she has never looked down upon her. All he had to do was send a letter of divorce from Concubine Wei to His Majesty Li Er who was in Liaodong.
If he filed a serious complaint, Fang Jun would probably be reprimanded.
Ma Zhou also had a headache. Jingzhao Weishi was a relative and a secret in the relative's family. How could that be a good thing? It might be related to the court or the palace, and whoever got involved would be in a lot of trouble.
The three of them were lowering their heads to discuss when they suddenly saw an official coming in from outside and reported: "The governor, the prince, the Duke of Yue, and His Highness Prince Ji are outside asking for an audience."
Ma Zhou glared at Fang Jun, thinking that Concubine Wei was really fast...
The three of them quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, and then with Li Daozong in front, Ma Zhou and Fang Jun behind, they quickly walked out of the main hall and came to the door.
King Ji Li Shen was dressed in a brocade robe, with a beam crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. He looked gentle and elegant, and was standing at the door with a group of guards.
The three people stepped forward quickly and bowed and saluted: "I have met your Highness."
