As for Li Junxian's concealment, His Majesty Li Er was a little displeased and frowned and asked, "Have you found out that there are other envoys behind the scenes?"

Li Junxian was a little frightened and quickly explained: "After investigation, there were three craftsmen and two officials in the military weapon surveillance involved in the sale of these crossbows. These crossbows were all secretly transferred out after being scrapped."

"According to the military weapon surveillance, they were just trying to make some money, and the crossbows they sold were purchased by different people. They did not know and did not participate in the assassination of His Highness the King of Wu and the Marquis of Zhongyi."

"However, after investigation, the reason why these people in the military weapon surveillance had the idea of ​​selling scrapped crossbows was that Duan Guan, the second son of Duke Bao, was lured from the side. However, after Duan Guan was a meritorious person, there was no conclusive evidence, so the last emperor did not dare to arrest people at will."

King Li Ke of Wu and Marquis of Zhongyi Yang Fan were ambushed in broad daylight in the Qinling Mountains, and the weapon they used was a bow and crossbow in the Tang army.

If Yang Fan's personal guards were not strong, and Yang Fan and Li Ke were lucky, they would have been shot like hedgehogs long ago.

It has been more than ten days since the incident happened, but the hundreds of cavalry led by Li Junxian have not yet figured out the whole story, let alone the mastermind behind the scenes.

Now His Majesty Li Er specially asked him to come here to report today, but when he saw Li Er's tone was a little unhappy, how could he not make Li Junxian feel nervous?

So we can only tell the investigation.

There are many nobles in Chang'an City and aristocratic families. Even as an emperor's intelligence agency, hundreds of cavalry could not do whatever they want.

After listening, Yang Fan thought about something and could understand it.

As a spy organization of the Tang Dynasty, Baiqi could not have poor intelligence capabilities.

It’s just that due to various factors, I can’t use my full strength.

Of course, these hundreds of cavalry could not do whatever they wanted like the Jinyiwei in later generations.

You should know that the officials of the Tang Dynasty Censorate were not for a good meal.

His Majesty Li Er and the others dared to point at the nose and scold him. It was natural that Li Junxian did not dare to do anything randomly. The investigation results could be predicted without much progress.

However, the direction of Baiqi's investigation was obviously correct, but the resistance was met was quite large.

Li Ji interjected while stroking his short beard, "Has the person who bought the crossbow ever found it?"

In fact, most people rarely use long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows, and they will be investigated by the government if they hold them privately.

Ordinary people will not buy such useless things.

If you start with the buyer, you may receive unexpected surprises.

Li Junxian said a little embarrassedly: "I have also traced the origin of the buyer, but I didn't find out because these buyers turned over more than a dozen times in a row, and there was no way to find out where the crossbows finally flowed!"

Even if he has no experience in intelligence, how could Li Junxian not think of this?

But no matter how much I think about it, it is really hard to find out the last person I hold from more than a dozen ways to turn hands!

What's more, some of the people in it involve a lot of powerful people.

For example, the second generation of nobles like Duan Guan did not have conclusive evidence, and even Li Junxian did not dare to arrest and interrogate him casually.

Hearing Li Junxian's words, the blue veins on His Majesty Li Er's forehead were rising, and there was a sign of an outbreak.

The reform of the imperial examination system was strongly opposed by the noble families, and the case of assassinating princes and ministers in the court did not make any progress.

One by one, one by one, of course, His Majesty Li Er was in his throat.

A large intelligence agency has been in charge for more than ten days, but he can't even find the person behind the scenes, which really disappoints His Majesty Li Er.

Li Junxian is invincible on the battlefield, but it seems that he is not a talent from the intelligence organization.

The reason why Li Junxian was chosen as the leader of the Hundred Cavalry was just because of his loyalty.

Alas, there will be gains and losses!

Who in this world is proficient in all kinds of civil and military talents?

Although he thought so in his heart, His Majesty Li Er's eyes subconsciously turned to Yang Fan.

This guy was leaning against the pillar in the hall, squinting his eyes, looking like he was hanging high without any worries.

On such an important occasion, Yang Fan was actually drowsy. For some reason, His Majesty Li Er was angry when he looked at this look.

In his opinion, this guy is better off making trouble than making more comfortable.

However, this kid seems to have some talent.

Knowing medical skills, making money, and having a broad range of ideas not only puts forward the drawbacks of the imperial examination system, but also allows subordinates to be united as soon as they arrive at the Ministry of Rites...

When he went to the Tubo expedition, he could also make a first-class military contribution as the governor!

Although Yang Fan is careless in his work, this kid is very sensible and does not stick to the rules.

If he was asked to investigate the case, he might receive unexpected surprises!

With this thought in his mind, His Majesty Li Er could no longer hold it back and turned his head and said, "Marquis Zhongyi, I ordered you to assist Li Junxian in investigating this case from now on. Be sure to find out the whole story of the matter for me."

"There are about ten days left before the end of the year. You must have an explanation before the end of the year. Otherwise, you should not pass this year!"

Yang Fan was stunned.

What's the situation?

Aren't you standing by listening?

Is this going to be shot?

Although we are a little clever, we can occasionally make inventions.

But the basis of all this is based on the insight far beyond this era, on the shoulders of giants, and under the strong support of the system...

If he asked him to solve the case, His Majesty Li Er was crazy.

Yang Fan knows yarn!

The major is completely inconsistent.

Besides, Wu Meiniang has reported this case to him. If the people and matters involved are really investigated thoroughly, it will definitely cause shock to the government and the public.

If the official thorough investigation is conducted, it is not necessarily possible to find evidence against the person behind the scenes.

Yang Fan can’t expose the intelligence organization that Wu Meiniang had finally managed for a case, right?

Once His Majesty Li Er knows that he has such an intelligence organization and is developing so well, it is possible to cut off his head.

In addition, although we knew that Cui and Duan Zhixuan were involved in the assassination.

But with the power of the two and the traitors, it is impossible for me to have any handle to catch him.

Of course Yang Fan did not do such a thankless thing, so he opened his mouth and said, "I have not recovered from my injuries and have just been punished again. The injuries are even worse. Please choose another person."

As he said that, his eyes couldn't help but float to Fang Xuanling, wanting this servant to say something to him.

After struggling in the officialdom for so long, he has become a spirit. Fang Xuanling nodded without revealing his mark and said:

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongyi is young and has no experience in investigating the case. How can he bear such a great task?"

"If the other party dares to assassinate the prince and ministers, if it is not the tyrants in the world, it is the act of a certain force in the court."

"Although Zhongyi Hou is very talented, he is young and energetic after all. If he acts rashly, he will not fall into the trap of the other party."

"Besides, as one of the parties involved, if Hou Zhongyi is involved in this case, it may cause controversy, and the results obtained cannot be convinced. Please think twice."

Changsun Wuji retorted with a slight smile: "The Fang Xiang is so bad, and the Zhongyi Hou has a rosy face and is full of energy. How can there be any sign of injury?"

"Besides, the Marquis of Zhongyi is unparalleled in martial arts and talent. Your Majesty has entrusted important tasks today, which is to enable him to train better. As long as he is tempered, he can better shoulder more important tasks in the future."

"Young people can only make progress with continuous experience! However, Fang Xiang's worries are not unreasonable, but as long as the Zhongyi Hou does not use torture to force confessions, it can convince everyone, not to mention that General Li is supervising on the side. I believe that Zhongyi Hou will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust."

Yang Fan glanced at Changsun Wuji fiercely. The old fox was obviously having a fight with him.

What can you find out the truth without torture and urgency...

What kind of young and capable people live up to His Majesty’s expectations...

All these are fucking nonsense.

It would be strange if you interrogate a prisoner without some means to ask the truth.

Changsun Wuji's words seem to be praising Yang Fan, but in fact they are taking advantage of the situation. Once the truth cannot be found, wouldn't it mean that Yang Fan is useless?

Li Ji was both relieved and worried, and the assassination was obviously not that simple.

I need to remind this kid to be careful when he turns around, but don’t mess with his daughter and make him worry.

However, His Majesty Li Er seemed to be full of confidence in Yang Fan: "The auxiliary machine is right. Young people should exercise more, let alone just let Zhongyi Hou assist. Everything is still based on Li Junxian, and this matter is decided."

Yang Fan originally wanted to refuse again, but when he met His Majesty Li Er's threatening look, he immediately swallowed the words of rejection.

This is not an era when everyone is equal in the future. If you keep refuting His Majesty Li Er's face, it would be light to beat yourself up, and it would be possible to cut off your head.

Who made the emperor the boss?

Thinking of this, Yang Fan immediately changed his words: "I obey the order! I will definitely help General Li find out the truth. However, if the evidence is conclusive, will the court dare to bring the person behind the scenes to justice?"

Since there is no way to avoid it, Yang Fan must certainly put ugly words ahead.

Once the evidence is determined, the other party will be offended to death. If the evidence is found, Li Er will not dare to take action. Wouldn't it be a waste of his expression?

Moreover, killing a chicken to scare the monkey may also be a good way to prevent them from provoking themselves easily in the future.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Yang Fan deeply, pondered for a moment and nodded happily: "As long as the evidence is conclusive, I have my own opinions!"

"Okay, let's discuss so much today. Li Junxian and his beloved ministers retreat first, and Zhongyi Hou stays..."
