It’s not that Fang Yuan doesn’t want to bring down the Changsun family.

But this thing alone cannot bring down the Changsun family.

Moreover, this matter involves Li Tai, and continuing to do so would be tantamount to offending Li Tai.

Fang Yuan is not afraid of offending Li Tai, but Fang Yuan does not want to offend a prince unless necessary.

So after deciding to hand over the case to Li Shimin, Fang Yuan was ready not to interfere anymore.

However, the idea is good, but the reality is another matter.

Fang Yuan had just returned to Fang Mansion when Zheng Jiu came over.

Because of Fang Yuan, Zheng Jiu was not imprisoned.

Instead, he is responsible for the interrogation.

"Sir, I've made a discovery!"

Zheng Jiu looked solemn and said.

"I forgot to tell you that I will no longer intervene in this matter. The emperor will send someone to investigate specifically."

Only then did Fang Yuan remember that he asked Zheng Jiu and Zhu Yingzhong to be responsible for the trial.

"No more checking?"

"My subordinates just asked from Zheng Mingzhu that there are a group of soldiers in the Wei Palace."

"The King of Wei seems to have printed a large amount of money just because he wanted to cultivate them."

Zheng Jiu was a little surprised.

But he still told Fang Yuan what he had investigated.

"The Prince of Wei has a group of soldiers?"

Fang Yuan was surprised.

But I was not surprised because of Zheng Mingzhu.

The people commanded by King Wei most likely had some official position.

Among those on duty tonight, only Zheng Mingzhu has a high-level official position.

Therefore, when Fang Yuan was sure that Li Tai was behind the instigation, he had already guessed who set the fire.

I just didn't expect that behind the seemingly honest and honest Li Tai, there was actually an army in the Wei Palace.

"Zheng Mingzhu said this, saying that he accidentally saw it when he was in the palace of King Wei, and then decided to seek refuge with King Wei."

Zheng Jiu continued to explain.

Now the princes are eyeing the position of crown prince.

Among them, King Li Tai of Wei and King Li Ke of Shu have the highest reputation.

Although King Li Tai of Wei is a direct descendant, King Li Ke of Shu is very famous.

But after learning that Wei King Li Tai had a troop of soldiers, he would naturally get more support.

It's just that the prince is secretly raising an army. If he is discovered, the consequences will be serious, and he may be revoked as a prince.

"What is Luo Zheng doing now?"

"Let him investigate this matter secretly!"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin took over this matter, so Zheng Mingzhu is destined to not live long.

I don’t know if he will be intercepted and killed by Li Tai in advance, but Li Tai’s privately raising soldiers will definitely be concealed.

Either Li Tai had the means to hide it, or Li Shimin removed it directly.

If it's the former, Fang Yuan wants to know the specific situation.

It's not scary to offend the prince. If there is any dirty information about him, he will be afraid of himself.

"Yes."

Zheng Jiu should respectfully leave.

Soon, Li Shimin's people arrived at the Chang'an County government office to take away the people.

At dawn the next day, public opinion in Chang'an City continued, discussing the truth about the fire in the backyard of the Chang'an County government office.

People have many channels, and they soon found out that this matter was related to Fang Yuan, to the fake money, and to the Changsun family.

Similarly, people like hearsay. When there is no correct version, various versions appear, so that they don’t know whether it is true or false.

However, the senior officials knew the real story. They knew that after Fang Yuan collected a large amount of money from Changsun's family and moved it back to the county government, the backyard of the county government caught fire.

It's just that Changsun Wuji was suspended, so there was no way to point the finger at Changsun Wuji, and even the ministers couldn't accuse Changsun Wuji when they went to the morning court.

However, Li Shimin's pressure cannot be avoided.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a bad incident as the Chang'an County government office being burned down. It must be investigated strictly!"

Fang Xuanling was the first to stand up.

What he meant was agreed by most ministers.

As the imperial capital, some people dare to burn down the county government. They are too brave.

This is related to the face of the imperial court and must not be settled hastily. It must be investigated thoroughly.

"I already know, just wait and see."

"There must be a lot of public opinion outside the court, so don't let people spread it randomly."

Li Shimin had no expression on his face and said in a deep voice.

He was very angry in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Because when Zheng Mingzhu and others were handed over to him last night, Zheng Mingzhu committed suicide around early morning.

Zheng Mingzhu was the only one who knew about the arson, but she didn't expect that she committed suicide before she was tortured.

This was contempt for the imperial court and contempt for him. He immediately asked Li Tai to enter the palace to inquire, but he had not yet asked about the situation.

Li Shimin does not plan to announce Zheng Mingzhu's suicide for the time being, so as not to be secretly laughed at by the ministers.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Qingzhou that the war has made good progress and a complete victory should be achieved within a month."

Hou Jun collects reports.

The war in Qingzhou is about to end.

Without the advice and planning of Bishamon's military advisor, Aoyama would not be able to withstand the imperial court.

Moreover, the imperial court also had weapons with huge destructive power such as firecrackers, which the Qingshan wild army could not resist.

"Very good, tell the general, we must win a great victory for me."

Li Shimin showed a rare smile, then looked at Fang Yuan and asked: "How are Japan and Goguryeo?"

"Still proceeding as planned."

Fang Yuan reported truthfully.

Datang supported Japan in its attack on Baekje, and secretly supported the third prince of Goguryeo.

However, these two things are still in progress, and no actual results have been achieved yet, and it will take a certain amount of time.

"Watch carefully!"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

Immediately the court meeting was almost over.

After all the ministers left, Li Shimin went to judge Li Tai again.

As soon as Fang Yuan returned to the household department, Li Ke came to find him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, every time you come to me in such an upright manner, it will make me very embarrassed."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

He wants to stay out of the fight for the crown prince.

But every time Li Ke came, he came openly.

This will make people gossip, and people will think that they are Li Ke's people.

"If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows. What are you afraid of, Fang Shangshu?"

Li Ke chuckled.

Not caring about Fang Yuan's dissatisfaction at all, he sat directly opposite Fang Yuan.

"Of course you're not afraid, but I don't like being gossiped about."
