(It’s still a cliche. Please help me to rate it. 10,000+ people have viewed it, but only a thousand people have rated it. It’s for nothing. Also, I may not be able to respond promptly to my comments when I am on a business trip, but there is still no problem with the update. Don’t worry if you have saved the manuscript.)

Wei Yuanzheng finally chose to confess, having no other choice. Li Shen's threat worked.

Half an hour later, Li Shen walked in again and saw that the confession had been signed on the table.

He stepped forward and picked it up, read it over, crossed out a name with a pen, and nodded with satisfaction. He said to Wei Yuanzheng: "You are very aware of current affairs, I am very satisfied.

You can rest assured that I am the most loyal to my promises. No matter what the final punishment is, I will not retaliate against you and your family.

You should be lucky that you called my mother cousin. Otherwise, do you think that just Wang Wan can save you?

That's because I don't want to make my mother sad. Everyone in Xiaoyao Gongfang is so cruel, yet you still listen to them. I really don't deserve it for you. After Li Shen finished speaking, he said to Li Tiejun behind him, "Have someone take Governor Wei to bathe and change clothes. I will take him into the palace." "

"It's the prince, Governor Wei, please" Li Tiejun said to Wei Yuanzheng

An hour later, Li Shen led Wei Yuanzheng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, towards Chang'an City.

Li Shimin of Liangyi Palace looked at the confession written by Wei Yuanzheng and his hands trembled with anger. He did not expect that so many people would be involved. There were 17 officials from aristocratic families participating in the deliberations alone. This did not include the elders of some aristocratic families, but there were no family heads from various aristocratic families.

"You are so brave, you dare to assassinate the prince. You really don't take me, Li Tang, seriously." Li Shimin was extremely angry.

"I am guilty, and I am willing to shoulder all the blame. I only hope that Your Majesty will be merciful and spare my family." Wei Yuanzheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Shimin.

"Aye, I have nothing to do anyway, so just spare their lives. For the sake of my mother-in-law, she is also a member of the Wei family." Li Shen is not a virgin bitch, and it was Li Shen's promise to spare his family.

"Hmph, take the person who comes to the Criminal Department first. No one can see him."

Then the guards came in and took Wei Yuanzheng to the Penal Department Prison.

Li Shimin sat down and asked Li Shen, "What are you going to do next? I'm going to bring out the testimonies of Feng Shanwu and Wei Yuanzheng in court tomorrow to negotiate with the family. All officials involved in this case will be killed." As for Cui Dunli and his entire family, let’s kill them all.”

"Aye, Cui Dunli may not come back. There are many horse thieves on the grassland. It is not an exaggeration to say that something will happen."

"You plan to kill Cui Dunli in Xue Yantuo? But there are soldiers around him. Those soldiers are our people of the Tang Dynasty and cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately." Li Shimin objected. It's not worth risking other people's lives for Choi Dunli

"Don't worry, I'll let the investigation team go. They pretend to be businessmen and let Cui Dunli die without anyone noticing. This will make the family even more afraid.

And Aye, I think it’s okay to kill the participants, but don’t kill the family members. Exile them to a vast and sparsely populated place to farm, especially the female family members. How many children will be lost if one woman is missing? "Li Shen is considering the issue of labor force and population. There are hundreds or even thousands of people. We can't just kill them all.

"In that case, you can make your own decision. Just don't make a big fuss. This is just an excuse to negotiate terms with them."

-------------------------------------

Weiqu is a place name. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the Wei family has developed rapidly. Nowadays, most of the clan members live in Weiqu, which is the old house in the name of Concubine Wei.

At this moment, all the noble families involved in the assassination operation have sent people over. After Wei Yuanzheng disappeared, they guessed that the matter might be exposed.

"Old Wei clan, I wonder if you entered the palace today. Did Wei Yuanzheng be captured by King Ji?" A representative of the Shandong gentry asked Wei Renji

"Prince Ji never admitted that I entered the palace today. But I feel that it must have been him. He was not surprised at all when he heard that Wei Yuanzheng was missing.

However, both Wang Wan and the Queen begged him to let Wei Yuanzheng go, and King Ji insisted that he would not arrest him. There was nothing I could do.

And King Ji has been asking me to tell me about the assassination. I guess he already knew it was us. "Wei Renji gave an overview of what happened today.

"If this is the case, it means that His Majesty may also know about this, and then the matter will be troublesome. Such a big crime will involve confiscating the family and annihilating the clan." Representative of the Taiyuan Wang family said

"If this is the case, then we have to get rid of Wei Yuanzheng and Cui Dunli. Only in this way can we be saved." The elder of the Fanyang Lu family expressed his personal opinion

Cui Renzhi became anxious after hearing this, "Elder Lu, my Cui family, Cui Dunli, is the minister of the Ministry of War. In the future, I will be the Minister of the Ministry of War. I will give up if I say give up? That is not what you said at the beginning."

"One moment and another, the situation is not good now, so we can only prepare for the worst. We will find a way to make it up to you." Zheng Jingsi on the side said, and he was not from his Zheng family anyway.

"Hmph. Do you think you can get away with it? Now that Wei Yuanzheng has been arrested and you are tortured, you can't escape. You really thought you could escape.

What we are thinking about now is how to deal with His Majesty's thunder, rather than giving up. There is definitely nothing they can do. I guess Wei Yuanzheng will be alive and Cui Dunli will definitely die. "Wei Ting snorted coldly. These people will buy if there is an advantage, and leave if they don't.

"Hey~~~ I thought it was foolproof at first, but who would have thought that he would become so passive now. King Ji's fate is really great. Even more than 1000 people can't kill him. I heard that he has doubled the number of guards he takes with him when he goes out. If you want to kill him again, it will be even harder to kill him." Wei Renji sighed softly.

He regretted it somewhat. In fact, the Wei family could have been on good terms with King Ji. Look at the four brothers Wei Siqina.

In just a few months, they have opened several tea houses in several prefectures and counties around Chang'an, selling Li Shen's tea, especially in big cities like Luoyang.

Li Shen mainly engages in wholesale and does not open stores outside at all. Wei Siqi and others opened three stores in Luoyang and made tens of thousands of dollars in profits in the past few months.

I heard that just because Concubine Wei said hello to King Ji, King Ji gave them exclusive business in these places.

The business of the Wei family's tea house is getting worse day by day. Already starting to lose money. It won't be long before they have to close down, and the family is losing nearly a million dollars a year.

"Okay, no matter what, we can only wait and see what happens. I don't think even His Majesty can kill all our families. Let's go back and report to the clan leader separately, and let the clan make the decision." Cui Renzhi Finally said.

"The clan elder is in bad condition. News came from the Ministry of Punishment that Wei Yuanzheng was in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment." An official from the Wei family ran in. He is an errand in the Ministry of Punishment, and the clan has already told him to pay attention to the news about Wei Yuanzheng.

"What?" Wei Renji stood up suddenly. Wei Yuanzheng was arrested. If Wei Yuanzheng confessed, they would suffer.
