Li Hong left Zichen Palace and did not return to the East Palace immediately. Instead, he ordered Yan Zhuang beside him, "Yan Zhuang, you and Li Duozha immediately led a hundred cavalry to block the Wei Mansion, and did not allow the Wei Mansion to leave one person. Then he went to the Chang'an County Government to block all files and files. I would arrive later."

Because Li Hong was afraid that there would be a spy in the palace to report the matter discussed by Zichen Palace, he had to do so.

"No!" Yan Zhuang took the order and hurriedly left.

"Chen Gong, we won't go to the Eastern Palace, we will go to Chang'an County Government now." Li Hong said to Chen Gong beside him.

Chen Gong took the order and helped Li Hong into the sedan chair. The group hurriedly left the Daming Palace.

Even if Li Hong is going to Chang'an County Government, he can't just go there in court clothes. Therefore, he needs to change into casual clothes in a secluded place. Just as he changed his casual clothes, he was leaving the Zhuque Gate with Chen Gong and a group of guards. A hundred-man cavalry had already roared past Zhuque Street, and then divided into two. One fifty cavalry rushed to Changshoufang where Chang'an County Government was located, and the other was galloping towards Wei Ling's home in Yong'an Square.

The county magistrate of Chang'an County is Cui Yuan, but he is only a descendant of the Cui family of Qinghe. However, he often regards himself as a child of the Cui family of Qinghe. He relies on his outstanding identity and the official position of the sixth-rank Beijing county magistrate, and is qualified to participate in the grand dynasty meeting, so he is a word in the Chang'an County Government.

When Wei Ling's death was spread to the county government, he caught him off guard. After all, a court-ordered official died in Chang'an County under his jurisdiction. Doesn't this mean that there was a big problem in the security of Chang'an County under his rule? As the county magistrate of Chang'an County, he was naturally to blame for such a major event. Therefore, when he got the news, he went to Wei Ling's home to check it out, learned about some of the situation in detail before returning to the county government to report the case to the Ministry of Justice.

Because Wei Ling died strangely, he was discussing with the county magistrate in the study about how to investigate. When a yamen runner hurried into the study without having time to report outside.

When Cui Yuan saw the rash yamen runner and was about to yell, he found that the teacup he placed on the table began to shake. Then he heard a burst of rapid horse hooves and the shouts of the yamen runners from the yard.

Cui Yuanhuo stood up, and before he could ask the yamen runners who had entered the study, he had already strode out of the study. The county magistrate and the lord Bo looked at each other and followed him and walked out.

When Cui Yuan walked into the study, he saw a group of ferocious cavalry driving all the runners of the county yard to this yard, and surrounded the yard tightly.

Seeing this scene, his mind trembled, but as the lord of a county, he tried his best to calm down his anxiety and shouted loudly, "Bold, who are you? You dare to break into my Chang'an County Government!"

Li Duozha rode on the horse, looking down at the magistrate of Chang'an County, and said coldly, "General Li Duozha of the Eastern Palace, came to block all files of the Chang'an County Office under the order of His Highness, and asked County Magistrate Cui to assist Li."

"Your Highness?" Cui Yuan knew when he saw Li Duozha's cavalry that the cavalry was Wei Rulang of the Eastern Palace, but he was still lucky. He thought that the prince was weak and sick, and even participated in politics once every five days. How could he pay attention to such a small case? But now after hearing what Li Duozha said, he suddenly realized that his prince was here to investigate the cause of Wei Ling's death? He hurriedly asked, "General Li was talking about His Royal Highness the Prince? He also knew Wei Ling..."

Li Duozha knew that the more time he wasted here, the more he ignored the prince's investigation, so he immediately interrupted Cui Yuan and said in a cold tone, "Li doesn't want to say too much nonsense here, so he also asked County Magistrate Cui to assist Li in completing the tasks assigned by His Highness."

Cui Yuan used to rely on his status as a clan and could be extremely arrogant in the Chang'an County Government. However, compared with Li Hong, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he was still as small as a little sparrow. Therefore, when he heard the prince's order, he saw that Li Duozha was so cold, so he did not dare to say anything more, but bowed and replied, "Cui Yuan accepts the order, please ask General Li to give the order!"

Li Duozha nodded slightly and asked Cui Yuan and the Chang'an County Yamen runners to help the cavalry around him block the vital gatehouse of the Chang'an County Yamen. Everyone took the order and started to work hard. After everything was blocked, they spent nearly half a stick of incense.

At this time, he and Cui Yuan and others came to the study together to wait for the crown prince Li Hong.

However, what Li Duozha did not notice was that just when he, Cui Yuan and others blocked the vital gatehouse of Chang'an County Government, a clerk carefully ran out of Chang'an County Government and disappeared in an instant on the crowded street.

"General Li, Wei Ling is just a small Western City Chief. How could his death alarm the prince?" Cui Yuan began to inquire about the news from Li Duozha.

"Hmph--!" Faced with Cui Yuan's inquiry, Li Duozha just snorted coldly and ignored him. Cui Yuan was bored and shut up with tactfulness.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the study became a little awkward. Cui Yuan drank tea with a gloomy face. County Magistrate Zhang Bo lowered his head and seemed to be pondering something. Only the Lord Bo Luo Binwang had bright eyes and seemed a little excited.

After a stick of incense passed, Li Hong rushed to the Chang'an County Government.

Cui Yuan is qualified to attend the two-month dynasty meetings and is not unfamiliar with Li Hong. When he saw Li Hong, he bowed and bowed and was very calm. Luo Binwang had seen Li Hong once before, and he was still neither humble nor arrogant in his tribute. Only the county magistrate Zhang Bo met His Royal Highness the first time he saw His Royal Highness. He was a little excited, so he was very panicked when he bowed.

Li Hong walked into the study and sat down. He stopped talking nonsense. Instead, he opened the door and asked, "How is Wei Ling's cause of death investigated? Are there any clues found on the scene?"

"Your Highness hasn't found anything yet," Cui Yuan replied carefully.

"What do you think about this case?" Li Hong asked again.

"After Wei Ling's head was taken away, and the family had a lot of money and paid a lot of money. The murderer obviously did not kill people for money. Then there is only one possibility. He died of revenge." Cui Yuan pondered for a moment and replied.

"What do you two think?" Li Hong asked when he saw that the county magistrate Zhang Bo and the lord Bo Luo Binwang didn't speak.

County Magistrate Zhang Bo secretly glanced at Cui Yuan and replied carefully, "Go back to Your Highness, I agree with County Magistrate Cui's opinion."

As soon as Zhang Bo finished speaking, Luo Binwang spoke in a serious tone, "Your Highness, I think Wei Ling's death may not be related to revenge. It is very likely that someone wants to kill him and kill someone to silence him."

"Oh——" Li Hong asked a little surprised, "Master Luo, can you tell me your judgment in detail?"

"Your Highness, Wei Ling is the Xishi Chief, who assists Xishi Ling in managing Xishi and collecting commercial taxes. He is just a ninth-rank official, not from a noble family. He has as much as 20,000 yuan in his family. He is obviously using his position to embezzle commercial tax income. Can he, a small Xishi Chief, have such courage to embezzle commercial taxes in Xishi? It is impossible. Then there is only one possibility. There must be a big man behind him who supports him, so that he has the courage to do this." Luo Binwang said this, paused for a moment, and continued to speak, "Now he has been killed at home, but the family has no money, only his head is unknown whereabouts. I think this may be because someone wants to kill him to silence him for fear of revealing the corruption."

"Master Luo Bo's words are too lie!" As soon as Luo Bin Wang finished explaining, before Li Hong had time to speak, Cui Yuan retorted, "Is it a lot of money and just losing his head, isn't it a revenge?"

"Wei Ling is just a little Xishi Chenggong. He can make enemies with him and take revenge in this way. What kind of person do you think he will be?" Luo Binwang snorted coldly and asked.

"This..." Cui Yuan was stopped. How could he know what kind of person he was?

Seeing that Cui Yuan could not answer, Luo Binwang snorted coldly and said, "Of course, some people with lower identities than Wei Ling. Only they are eager to take revenge and are difficult to avenge Wei Ling through other channels. They can only use such extreme means."

When Cui Yuan saw that he was speechless by Bo asked the head of his county government in front of the Prince's Hall, he felt a little lost in appearance, so he couldn't think about it and said fiercely, "What's wrong?"

"Master Cui, do you think people like them are tired and worried all day long to solve the problem of food and clothing. If they kill Wei Ling and find that he has hidden money at his home, how can they not take any money?" King Luo Bing asked again.

"This--" Cui Yuan was speechless, his eyes became a little cold, and his tone was cold to question Luo Bin's kingly saying, "Lord Luo, the cause of Wei Ling's death is too strange. It's too ridiculous for you to guess like this, right?"

Luo Binwang ignored Cui Yuan's fierce gaze, but snorted coldly and replied, "If you don't have sex, you can only find out after you keep checking it slowly!"

"You--" Cui Yuan was blocked by Luo Binwang again. He was furious and had long forgotten that Li Hong was in the study and was about to get angry at Luo Binwang, but was scolded by Li Hong, "Enough! It's important to investigate the case. Where did you get the time to make noise here?"

"I know that I am guilty, please forgive me!" Zhang Bo was the first to be scared and bowed to apologize.

Li Hong yelled and scolded him, Cui Yuan realized that he had lost his composure just now, and even forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the study. He was so scared that he was shocked and immediately apologized to Li Hong, "I was rude just now, so I would like to forgive you!"

Luo Binwang, who was beside him, also closed his mouth and stopped talking.

"It's good that you know." Li Hong said calmly. "Since the father has decided to hand over this case to your Chang'an County Government for investigation, Gu is not ready to intervene. However, this case is too strange, and Gu takes the initiative to ask for an order to be responsible for the case, so he must make specific arrangements for you."

His words were very easy-going, but Cui Yuan, Zhang Bo, Luo Binwang still heard a sense of terrifying and killing from his tone.

"The daily official duties that the Chang'an County Government has to handle are quite heavy. In addition, in a few days, the Tubo delegation will come to Chang'an to meet, and the orphan needs you to assist the orphan in the reception task, so don't worry about this case!" Li Hong said lightly.

When Cui Yuan heard that the prince had excluded him from the Wei Ling case, he looked a little panicked and said in a hurried tone, "Your Highness, you must not. I am the magistrate of Chang'an County and the lord of a county. Now that such a major case has occurred in Chang'an County, how can I stay out of the matter?"

Seeing that Cui Yuan dared to openly disobey his orders, Li Hong looked at Cui Yuan with a cold look. Cui Yuan only felt that the prince's eyes were like a knife, which made his eyes hurt a little. His body couldn't help but shivered, and he was so scared that he lowered his head and dared not say anything else.

"Zhang County Magistrate Zhang, Luo Zhubo, I will leave this case to you. Once you find any clues to use in the future, you must report to the Gu as soon as possible." Li Hong withdrew his gaze and ignored Cui Yuan, but ordered the county magistrate Zhang Bo and Luo Binwang.

"I accept the order!" Zhang Bo and Luo Binwang hurriedly bowed to accept the order. When Cui Yuan heard the order given by Li Hong, his face suddenly turned ashamed and became a little dazed.

After Li Hong issued the order, he did not stay in the Chang'an County Government for a long time, but left Li Duozha to assist Zhang Bo and Luo Binwang, so he hurriedly left.

After leaving the Chang'an County Government and walking on the bustling streets, Chen Gong asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why did you exclude Cui Yuan from the Wei Ling case?"

"Chen Gong, the results of this case are the same. We will definitely get nothing at that time. Is this the result we want? No." Li Hong said softly, "Therefore, today I made such an arrangement, sending troops to block the files of the Chang'an County Government and Wei Ling's mansion, and excluding Cui Yuan from the Wei Ling case. The approach is a bit of a shocking act, but only by using such decisive means can we force out the person hidden behind Wu Er and Wei Ling."

After listening, Chen Gong seemed to understand, but seemed to understand nothing, showing a confused look.

Li Hong no longer explained too much about this, but instead walked towards the onion noodle restaurant in Yanshoufang. (To be continued)
