Chapter 607
The rumors created by Li Jing spread throughout the capital overnight.
The common people celebrated each other when they heard about it, and they were all extremely satisfied with the court's handling.
After all, if those who uphold justice will not end well, and those who oppress the good will waste the national currency, the people really don't know how to support such a court.
Fortunately, Li Shimin did not disappoint them this time. With their persistent efforts, justice finally "conquered" evil.
It's a pity that the people don't know that under this beautiful rumor, there is actually hidden rivalry between you and me.
Moreover, ever since Su Qingmin's dying words spread, the secret struggle had already begun.
Choi.
Master Cui Ren held the handrail with a livid face, and swept past the panicked clansmen in the hall with a majestic expression.
Everyone knows the matter now, Shen Yijun and the three reached an agreement with Cui Renshi a few days ago.
What happened last night didn't seem to have much to do with Mrs. Cui, but in fact, it inadvertently destroyed Cui Renshi's next plan.
And the loss caused by all this is far more than just losing three allies.
After all, the current Qinghe Cui family has long been in decline, and court officials with bad records like Shen Yijun are the only power in the hands of the Cui family.
But now that all three of them have gone overnight, it is considered a serious injury to Cui Shi.
In this way, it is no wonder that everyone present was panicked, and they were all at a loss and prayed for the mercy of the gods.
It's a pity that the current Cui family's strength is declining, and even with the blessing of the gods, it may not help.
And Li Shimin ordered a thorough investigation of the case on the spot, which was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Once Li Jing had an insight into Master Cui Ren's plan, the Cui clan would have to go dormant again.
"Ugh!
The old man really doesn't know why His Majesty would deal with it like this!
Although Shen Yijun and the other three committed heinous crimes, but the court officials were brutally murdered, shouldn't they first find out the murderer who provoked the court and behead him to show the public as an example?
Why do you want to let the murderer's traces not be traced, but instead order to appease the people and make promises to the murderer.
If everyone follows suit at that time, the old man will have to see how His Majesty will deal with himself! "
A white-haired old man complained.
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
Cui Renshi's complexion became darker when he heard this, and his ten fingers gripping the handrail were faintly pale.
"Humph!
His Majesty's decree? !
His Majesty is so wise, how could he issue such hasty orders.
I think this time must be the rumor spread by the little prince, trying to interfere with our thoughts! "
"what?!
Interfere with my thoughts? "
The white-haired old man was startled when he heard the words, and asked puzzledly: "Patriarch.
If the little prince did this to appease the people, the old man would believe it somewhat.
After all, the little prince is more capable than me and other aristocratic families in manipulating public opinion and guiding public opinion.
But this spread of rumors interferes with my thinking, please forgive me, I really can't agree.
Now that I, Qinghe Cui, are not as good as before, the little prince really doesn't have to be so wary of me?
Unless, what happened last night was really done by him, he was worried that I would find out the truth! "
"Hehe~
Find out the truth? !
Second Uncle thinks that with my Cui family's current strength, I can really find out the truth of the case? "
Cui Renshi shook his head with a sneer, and the white-haired old man froze for a moment.
Judging from Cui's current background, it seems that Li Jing really doesn't care too much.
But in this case, what does Cui Renshi mean by interfering with thoughts?
"Everyone present is my own family, the Patriarch may speak up if he has something to say!"
The white-haired old man frowned and said in a deep voice.
Cui Renshi smiled contentedly, met everyone's doubtful eyes, and said solemnly: "Su Qingmin's last words must have been heard by everyone.
Wei Ting had an antagonism with my Cui family because of Wei's price, and you all already knew about it.
Nowadays, the civil and military officials are faintly divided into two factions.
One group thinks that this is the little prince's treacherous scheme, which has nothing to do with Wei Ting at all.
It was just that Su Qingmin was overly frightened before he died, and it was difficult to tell the truth from the fake just now.
The other faction thinks that this matter was indeed written by Wei Ting, and the plotter was just to suppress my Qinghe Cui family and try to replace my Cui family's position in the capital.
It's just that I don't know which statement you elders believe more? "
"This……"
Everyone present looked at each other, and all of them frowned solemnly.
Regardless of whether it is public or private, everyone hopes that this matter has nothing to do with Li Jing.
Just because facing His Majesty the Crown Prince, everyone is undoubtedly more willing to fight with Wei Ting.
But judging from Li Jing's temperament of vengeance, everyone had to give up this unrealistic idea.
After all, if he wanted to kidnap Shen Yijun and the other three without knowing it, Jingzhao Wei's strength was obviously insufficient.
Even the Cui family of Qinghe in its heyday cannot guarantee that everything will be safe.
That being the case, the only one who can sneak into the minister's mansion without anyone noticing it is Prince Li Jing, whose origin is a mystery and whose methods are strange.
Even though everyone is unwilling to accept this speculation, they have to admit this established fact.
"Master.
Since this matter was done by the little prince, why did he spread rumors to interfere with us?
Could it be that he wanted to take the opportunity to divert his attention and free up time to deal with the mess? "
"Oh~
It seems that you still don't understand! "
Cui Renshi became more and more complacent, with a look of complacency on his brows. "Everyone, don't forget that in addition to the royal family and our noble families, there is also a force with a mysterious background in this capital.
It was this mysterious force that my family members were assassinated back then.
But the old man accidentally received news last night that Wei Ting has a very close relationship with this faction!
It is even very likely to be one of the principals.
Do you clan elders think that if Wei Ting really had the support of this force, he might kidnap Shen Yijun and the other three quietly? "
"Is that true?!"
The white-haired old man exclaimed, stood up involuntarily and asked, "Patriarch!
This matter is of great importance, and must not be neglected!
Dare to ask the Patriarch, where did this news come from?
Who is the messenger?
Is it worthy of the trust of my Cui family? "
"Of course it's worth it!
The old man has known him for dozens of years, which is enough to guarantee that this person is definitely not the little prince's spy!
It's just that his identity is too important, and the old man can't reveal anything without permission.
What's more, the most urgent task now is to deal with Wei Ting's attack, and I hope you clan elders don't get entangled in such trivial matters! "
Master Cui Ren nodded solemnly.
The people present thought about it, and they had no choice but to believe it.
But now that they knew that this matter was very likely to have nothing to do with Li Jing, everyone immediately felt a little lighter.
The worry just now dissipated quickly, and his thinking suddenly became quicker.
"Wei Ting dared to spoil my Cui family's good deeds again and again, I must teach him a lesson today!"
"right!
Ever since Wei Taigui was forced to commit suicide by the little prince, Wei Ting has repeatedly opposed me, Mrs. Cui.
Now he is even using his hole cards to assassinate my Cui Clan Alliance, exposing the Zifengyuan incident to the public.
His unscrupulous provocation of my Qinghe Cui family is tantamount to declaring war with us.
If I wait for no response and do not fight back, I will definitely be despised and ridiculed by my colleagues in the future.
So the old man thought that no matter what, we all have to teach him a lesson.
Otherwise, it would be trivial for my Cui family to be ridiculed, and it would be troublesome to lose control of the family in the capital. "
"What the second uncle said is absolutely true!
Wei Ting unscrupulously provoked me, Mrs. Cui, so he should be taught a lesson.
It's just that the little prince is watching, so I can't wait too much.
Rather than..."
