Before Wang Kun died, he said the word "Gaopeng". Pei Min quickly understood its meaning, and it should refer to Gaopeng Inn.

There are four Gaopeng inns in Chang'an, of which there is a Gaopeng inn near Niuxianke Mansion.

Pei Min brought a few men to this inn.

"Do you want to stay in a hotel?"

Pei Min showed his guard silver medal, "Let's find someone named Wang Kun!"

"Is it Wang Kun from Yuezhou?"

"It's him, he lives here!"

"He registered here, opened a room, paid for a month's room, but basically didn't see him staying here."

"I want to take a look at his room!"

"A few follow me!"

The shopkeeper took everyone to the second floor and walked to the west end. The shopkeeper opened the door.

"This is his room!"

Pei Min walked into the room with his men. The room was neatly tidy, and he looked like he had never lived in it before, with suitcases placed in the corner of the wall.

"You guys go and search his luggage!"

Several subordinates went up to look through Wang Kun's suitcase.

Pei Min walked to the table by the window. There were two tufts of dust on the table, unlike the dust blowing in by the wind. He looked at the side light carefully. There were footprints on the table. The footprints left by wearing socks were very blurry and could only be seen vaguely.

Pei Min looked up at the top. There was a secondary beam above his head, not the main beam. Pei Min had such a vision that he saw three finger marks on the secondary beam.

Pei Min jumped onto the table, fumbled over the secondary beam for a while, and found a small box.

...........

In the room, Li Xiu opened a small box, which was covered with silk cloth, with small characters written on it, and signatures and fingerprints below.

It was Wang Kun's self-reporter, who wrote about how he was unwilling to be sold by his uncle at a low price. He wanted to use false accusations to force Li Xiu to return to the restaurant. However, he knew that his own words were light and could not afford to offend the royal family. He then found Niu Xianke through someone's introduction. After bribing 5,000 taels of silver, Niu Xianke agreed to help him sue.

At the end of the letter, Wang Kun was worried that he would be silenced by Niu Xianke, so he left a small secret. The five thousand taels of silver he bribed Niu Xianke, totaling one hundred ingots, and each ingot had a special mark.

Once these money are found, Niu Xianke's charge of accepting bribes will be confirmed.

After reading the letter, Li Xiu lowered his head and pondered. If this letter could be obtained one day earlier, Niu Xianke would not be able to slander himself in the hall.

Unfortunately, this evidence is useless to me now.

However, it was a thunder for Niu Xianke. Niu Xianke accepted bribes and killed people to silence him, forming a closed loop of evidence. Niu Xianke no longer had the chance to turn the tables.

"Prepare the carriage, let's go to Wannian County Office!"

.........

In the Wannian County yamen, Niu Xianke sent two servants who beat people. In the words of Niu Xianke, because Wang Kun deceived him, he couldn't help but want to teach Wang Kun a lesson. He ordered Wang Kun to beat him twenty sticks, but the five people were not sure of their determination and beat him to death.

Two servants who beat people were detained by the county government, but Niu Xianke wanted to take the other three servants back, but the county magistrate Cui Chang refused.

"Even if the three of them are not the main culprits, they are also involved in throwing the body. They are accomplices. Since they are criminals in the murder case, it is impossible to let them go no matter what. Thanks to Niu Xiangguo for his support to the county government, but I am sorry that the officials cannot obey the matter of releasing them!"

Niu Xianke said very dissatisfied: "Can you not even be able to guarantee that they will go out?"

Cui Chang shook his head, "The system is here, and the officials cannot destroy it at will!"

"Will I let me see them, either?"

Niu Xianke was worried that he had never given a confession. If the confession was contradictory by both parties, it would be a big trouble.

Cui Chang still shook his head, "Because they mentioned Niu Xiangguo, according to convention, the parties involved are not allowed to contact each other!"

"What!"

Niu Xianke was furious, "What does their confession have to do with me? County Magistrate Cui should make it clear. What exactly did they say? Are you slandering me?"

"The Prime Minister is so serious. They are servants of Prime Minister Niu. The confession they confess will definitely have a relationship with the Prime Minister. There is no question of slandering anyone."

"Take me their confessions, and I want to know if they are telling the truth!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I won't obey!"

"you......."

Niu Xianke held back his anger and said coldly: "Mr. Cui is determined to do something wrong with me?"

Although Cui Chang was promoted by Zhang Jiuling, Niu Xianke was a prime minister after all, so he would have given him some face before. However, after experiencing today's morning court, Cui Chang has completely stood opposite Niu Xianke.

What's more, Niu Xianke has been suspended from power now, so he has no right to order him to do what he is here?

Cui Chang said lightly: "I am just following the laws of the court and not targeting anyone. Please do not overstepping the power of Prime Minister Niu, please go back!"

Niu Xianke nodded, "Okay! Remember, see how I deal with you."

He stood up and left angrily.

Just as Niu Xianke left, Zhong Kui came in a hurry.

Zhong Kui handed a box to Cui Chang, "This is an evidence that my highness just found, which can improve Cuixianjun's report!"

Cui Chang took the box and said to Zhong Kui: "There is something that may require the help of His Highness the Prince!"

"What's up?"

"I am worried that someone might come to assassinate witnesses tonight. I don't have a yamen runner with great martial arts skills. Please tell Your Highness if you can ask him for some support?"

Zhong Kui smiled slightly, "Your Highness also thought of this possibility. He asked me to tell the county lord to transfer the criminal at a critical moment, and we will come to help!"

...........

Niu Xianke returned to the mansion in dismay, and paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands on his back.

He knew that he was in trouble this time. No matter whether he was injured by accident or not, he died in his house. No matter what, he would not be able to escape.

Judging from Cui Chang's attitude of not eating soft and hard, it is not good for him to say that he is instructing him behind his back.

Niu Xianke paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After thinking about it, he could only ask the Regent for help.

...........

Li Chengqi did not let the prince Li Feng meet Niu Xianke, but asked King Shu Li Xun to meet Niu Xianke for him.

In the room, Li Xun listened to Niu Xianke's narration calmly. In comparison, he was more calm and wiser than Li Wen.

Niu Xianke sighed, "I am mainly angry in Yangzhou and I have been resentful of the 38th Prince, so I always want to find an opportunity to deal with him. This is the mentality of this Wang Kun incident. I admit that I am not considering it well and I am a little anxious."

Li Xun took a sip of tea and asked calmly: "Why did Niu Xiangguo want to kill Wang Kun?"

"Your Highness, first of all, I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to vent my anger!"

"Relax?"

"It's just to vent my anger. The two restaurants, King Kun, concealed the affairs of King Xue from me, which led to my cessation of power. Your Highness can imagine that I was angry. When I went back, I questioned him. As a result, he admitted to cheating on me. In a rage, I ordered his legs to be cut off and thrown him out of Chang'an. But I didn't expect that I was beaten to death by mistake. Alas!"

"Just just vent your anger?"

"Of course, what else does Your Highness think?"

Li Xun said lightly: "I am worried that there is still a factor of silence."

"Not it! He is a little businessman, what's worth silence?"

"But at the court meeting this morning, Li Xiu said that you had collusion with Li Mao, and in order to meet his preferences, he instructed Wang Kun to falsely accuse him, Prime Minister Niu, do you really have something to do with Li Mao? Also, how many benefits did you get for Wang Kun to sue?

You don’t need to say these, but if you want my father to help you, you have to explain them honestly. You know, my father can’t rub any sand in his eyes.”

Niu Xianke's face turned red and white. He didn't expect Li Xun to be so powerful, much harder to fool than Li Feng, and he saw through everything.

Niu Xianke said coldly after a while: "I can't answer your highness's question. Please tell the Regent. I don't know what will happen in the future, but at least I am still loyal to him at the moment. If the Regent doesn't care about this position, I don't care."
