Ke Changqing is not treated as well as Ye Mengqiu, he was locked up in Youzhou Prison, Li Hao and Di Renjie took Wang to Youzhou Prison, and the gray-haired Wang has been worrying about it since he entered the prison: "Is my little second child a crime, how did he get locked up in the prison......

Li Hao heard it in his ears, it was very unpleasant, he felt sorry for the parents of the world, this old lady was so old, and she had to worry about her son, he looked sad.

Soon after entering the prison, I came to the prison guard's lounge, and in the dim light, the walls of the lounge were covered with torture instruments, and in the hall were a square table, four benches, and a duck and a goose tied to the legs of the table.

After Li Hao revealed his identity, the four jailers were taken aback and hurriedly saluted, Li Hao nodded and hummed, and then asked suspiciously: "Why are there geese and ducks in the prison?" ”

Di Renjie helped answer: "Back to the prince, ducks and geese are used to test Ke Changqing's diet, ducks and geese are more sensitive to all poisons, ordinary poisons, as long as they smell it, they will collapse, or even die, let alone eat, in order to ensure the safety of Ke Changqing's diet, all the food and water sent to the geese and ducks are eaten first, and they are fine for half an hour before Ke Changqing can eat." ”

When Li Hao heard this, he couldn't help but admire Dali Temple, there are so many means.

All the way to Ke Changqing's cell, I saw four Dali Temple officials guarding here, and letting these Dali Temple officials come to the prison to guard the prisoners is indeed wronged by them, but in extraordinary times, it is natural to use extraordinary methods, which is also a very helpless thing.

Ke Changqing was lying in the cell sleeping, and Li Hao shouted: "Ke Changqing, get up and see, who's coming!" ”

Wang held the bar in his hand and shouted, "Little Er." ”

Ke Changqing suddenly bounced up from the bed, saw the Wang family at a glance, and exclaimed: "Mother! Jumped up and grabbed Wang's hand, and was so excited that tears flowed: "Mother, why are you here?" ”

"It was this lord named Wang Ye who brought me here." Wang is just an old country woman who has never seen much of the world, she heard Di Renjie always call Li Hao the prince, thinking that Li Hao is called the prince.

Ke Changqing burst into tears when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Li Hao spoke: "Ke Changqing, this king knows that you are a filial son, and the reason why you have been unwilling to confess is because your mother was arrested and you are controlled by others, but this king has rescued your mother, and this king warns you for the last time that those you are loyal to are doing rebellion, do you know what a big crime is rebellion, you will implicate your mother." ”

"Lord Wang, I said, I said, please let my mother go!" Ke Changqing knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Li Hao, making a sound of tuk.

On the side, the Wang family was stunned when she saw this, but she could roughly see that Li Hao was a big official, and her son must have committed a crime, so she hurriedly kowtowed to Li Hao: "Lord Wang, please let go of my little two, he is not sensible, if you want to punish the old body, the old body is old, and he is not afraid of anything......"

Li Hao glanced at Di Renjie, Di Renjie hurriedly helped Wang up, and explained to Wang: "Old lady, your son has committed an accident, and our prince is giving him a chance to atone for his sins, don't kowtow." ”

"Ah, thank you, Lord Wang, thank you, Lord Wang......"

"Ahem...... Cough ......" Li Hao coughed dryly and said, "My surname is Li." ”

"Ah, surnamed Li?" Wang's face was confused, she obviously heard Di Renjie keep calling him Wangye.

Di Renjie patiently explained to Wang: "This is the King of Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty, surnamed Li Minghao. ”

"King Joonnan? The old body has heard! Heard! Big Hero! Wang suddenly exclaimed, he didn't know what the name of King Qiongnan was, anyway, she just heard that King Qiongnan was a big hero.

Li Hao didn't have time to talk to her, he was down to business, so he turned his head to the Dali Temple official on the side and said, "Take a pen and paper, and prepare to record a confession." ”

"Yes!" The Dali Temple official hurried to get a pen and paper.

After a while, the pen and paper were taken, Di Renjie took the pen and paper, and was responsible for recording the confession, Li Hao began to ask: "Ke Changqing, this king asks you, who sent you to the Governor's Mansion to be a spy?" ”

Ke Changqing replied: "King Wei's butler, Cui Cheng." ”

Li Hao asked again: "In addition to you, how many others like you were arrested by the Wei Wangfu and forced to die for the Wei Wangfu?" ”

Ke Changqing shook his head: "This villain is not clear, it is estimated that there must be at least five hundred people." ”

Li Hao asked again: "On the night of the assassination of this king, why did you go to report the news, and in a hurry, you killed four guards of the Governor's Mansion. ”

Ke Changqing said: "The housekeeper of the Wei Palace, Cui Cheng, is the villain, someone will assassinate the prince in the near future, let the villain pay careful attention, if the assassin misses, you must report to him, the villain knows that the failure of this assassin is related to whether the King of Wei will be exposed, so he will kill a guard recklessly, and he plans to report the news." ”

"Then Cui Cheng of the Wei Palace, is he a member of the Fanyang Cui family?"

"Yes." Ke Changqing nodded, "He is the nephew of the Cui family, since the King of Wei came to Youzhou, Cui Cheng took the initiative to recommend himself and went to the palace to be a housekeeper." ”

Li Hao nodded, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said: "Next is the topic, the murder of seventy-eight merchants of the Hu family and the Zhao family, is it the Cui family and the King of Wei who committed it?" ”

Ke Changqing said: "Back to the prince, the tragedy of these two merchants was committed by the Cui family, although the king of Wei also participated, but he was only an accomplice, that night, the king of Wei invited the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the Zhichong Mansion to the banquet, and all the officials were drunk and returned, so the Cui family could act so smoothly." ”

"I see." Li Hao frowned slightly, and asked again, "The last question, who sent the assassin who assassinated this king?" ”

"It was sent by the Cui family." Ke Changqing said, "The Cui clan sent a master to assassinate you, the prince, and the Wei Wangfu informed the villain of this news, and asked the villain to pay attention to the assassin's assassination results, and once it failed, report it immediately, so the king of Wei also knew about it." ”

"Good, good!" Li Hao smiled slightly, nodded with satisfaction, he had already got all the testimony he wanted, and then turned his head and asked Di Renjie, "Have you written it down?" ”

Di Renjie nodded, handed the confession to Li Hao, Li Hao read it once, word for word, and then asked Ke Changqing: "Do you know how to read?" ”

Ke Changqing nodded: "Recognize words, the Wei Wangfu specially sent someone to teach me to recognize words and practice martial arts." ”

Li Hao knew that an undercover agent like him was actually an agent in ancient times, an agent, naturally he had to be both civil and military, and he must recognize the words, otherwise he would not be able to recognize even if he had important information in front of him.

Li Hao handed him the confession and said: "Take a look, whether it is the same as what you said, after confirming that it is correct, sign and draw the charge, your crime is very big, and it is very likely that you will be beheaded, but you have become a tainted witness, this king will ask for credit for you, offset the credit, and reduce your crime." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Ke Changqing was excited to thank him when he heard this, took the confession and read it, confirmed that it was correct, signed his name, and pressed his handprint.

Li Hao took back the signed confession, folded it and put it away, and Ke Changqing thanked him again: "Lord Wang, thank you for interceding for the villain." ”

Li Hao snorted coldly: "Don't thank me, this king sees that you are a filial son, so he is willing to spare you." In his opinion, if a person is filial to his parents, no matter how bad he is, he will not be much worse.

Finally got Ke Changqing's testimony, and he could convict Cui and Li Tai, seventy-eight lives, plus the assassination of the imperial court envoy, such a big crime, equivalent to complicity and rebellion, although these two things were done by Cui's family, but the King of Wei was involved, and he couldn't get rid of it, Li Shimin may not kill Li Tai, but a punishment is inevitable, and it depends on Li Shimin's mood, if Li Shimin is in a bad mood, Li Tai may be demoted to a commoner.

After returning from the prison, first settled the Wang family, and then Li Hao returned to the governor's mansion and began to write a note, report the truth of the case to Li Shimin, and send a fast horse to send the note, Li Hao began to wait, waiting for Li Shimin's holy decree, if it was just a Cui family, he would definitely use the golden fish talisman to immediately mobilize troops to exterminate it, but now that the king of Wei was involved, he did not dare to act rashly, so he could only ask Li Shimin first.

The news of Ke Changqing's capture made Wei Wangfu and Cui's a little panicked, and Cui's hurriedly went to find Ke Changqing's mother, but when they arrived at the village where the hostages were held, they found that Ke Changqing's mother had been rescued by someone at some point.

Li Hao successfully investigated the case, and found out two big mice, and the harvest was not low, and Xue Rengui's battle on the shore of Qinghai Lake was also quite beautiful.

Qinghai Lake during the Tang Dynasty was very large, with a circumference of about 400 kilometers, that is, 800 miles, Xue Rengui sent three thousand cavalry around Qinghai Lake, which took seven full days, these seven days, Xue Rengui has been confronting the Garqin Mausoleum from afar, no one shot first, although the Garqin Mausoleum has the advantage of troops, but he seeks stability, his purpose is only one, to hold Tuyuhun, so he does not take the initiative to attack, but this just gave the three thousand cavalry time to hurry.

Three thousand cavalry around Qinghai Lake for a week, suddenly attacked from behind the Tubo army at night, causing chaos in the Tubo military camp, Xue Rengui took the opportunity to attack, in one fell swoop to defeat the army of the Garqin Mausoleum, fortunately the Western Turkic army came to support, the Garqin Mausoleum escaped with more than 5,000 troops, and withdrew to the city.

When the Western Turk commander Yang Long saw the defeat of Garqinling, not only did he not retreat to the city, but wanted to defeat Xue Rengui's army in one fell swoop.

Yang Long's confidence suddenly increased, relying on his own strength far beyond the Tang army, fearless, all the way to pursue, Garqinling got the news from the scouts, was taken aback, hurriedly sent someone to chase, sent a message to Yang Long, let him be poor and not chase.

However, after Yang Long received the message from the Garqin Tomb, he didn't take it seriously at all, but thought that the Galqin Tomb was jealous of himself, in his opinion, the Galqin Tomb was defeated by Xue Rengui, and he is now pressing Xue Rengui to fight, and it is normal for the Garqin Tomb to be jealous, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and chased the Tang army all the way for more than 70 miles, into a low hill.

Yang Long was carried away by the victory, and actually chased into the mountains, but Xue Rengui had already laid a net again, when the Western Turkic army went deep into the mountains, the Tang army appeared from the four hills, bows and crossbows were fired together, the Western Turkic army suffered heavy losses, a chaos, and then the Tang army rushed all the way down, the Western Turkic army rushed to pieces, the Western Turkic army suddenly had no fighting spirit, just fled, Xue Rengui led the troops to chase all the way to kill, Yang Long finally fled back to Fuqi City with a thousand remnants, and sent a letter of defeat to Sanmi Mountain for help.
