Cui Xiufang said: "The person who lost it is Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng, and His Majesty loves her like a treasure." Let's think of ideas and get Li Nunu back. ”

"Jincheng Princess Li Nunu?" When everyone heard this, their faces suddenly changed.

They all understood that if it was someone else, it would be fine, but when Wu Zetian met with the ministers, he sat on the throne with Li Nunu, the princess of Jincheng.

If she has any strengths and weaknesses, even if Wu Zetian is just for the sake of face, she has to hold the relevant officials accountable.

The most terrible thing is that first, Cui Geng is Jing Zhaoyin; Second, he personally issued an order to declare that those eunuchs and palace maids who had stayed in Chang'an were trustworthy. Wu Zetian doesn't trouble him, whose trouble is it? It can be said that the only thing the big guy can do for Cui Geng now is to get Li Nunu back and make a penance.

But, then again, Chang'an has one hundred and eight squares, a radius of seventy miles, in such a big city, how easy is it to find a four-year-old girl?

The people were silent for a long time, but they didn't come up with anything feasible.

In the end, Feng Changqing gritted his teeth and said, "There's no good way, just use a stupid way, act separately, and hit the luck." ”

"Okay."

"No problem!"

"Let's split up!"

……

Everyone can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor and take the order.

At the same time, Cui Geng, together with Yang Wulian and Wu Zhuang, came to Daming Palace.

Wu Zetian sat with his back to the north, Li Xian, Li Dan, Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er, five prime ministers, Yao Yuanchong, the official Shangshu of Chun, and Yuan Shuji, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple...... Wait, forty or fifty important ministers of the court lined up in two compartments.

As soon as Cui Geng saw this formation, he gasped.

When the monarch saw that the ceremony was over, he didn't get up and asked, "I don't know what crime Weichen has committed?" Please also ask Your Majesty to make it clear. ”

"Hmph, you did a good job! Wan'er, you say. ”

"Yes."

Shangguan Wan'er briefly introduced what happened.

It turned out that three days ago, Jincheng Princess Li Nunu suddenly disappeared, and along with her, the two eunuchs who were left behind in Chang'an, Su Dayuan and Ma Sheng.

Not only that, but they also deliberately left a letter, in which they announced: They are the remnants of the Four Seas Gang, and it was because they noticed the eyes of the gang leader He Qian, so they did not participate in the rebellion and survived secretly.

Now, the turmoil has subsided, and in order to avenge the gang leader, they have kidnapped the princess of Jincheng, Li Nunu. As long as within half a month, the imperial court kills Cui Geng, and they will release Princess Jincheng back. Otherwise...... I can't say it, I can't say it, and I can only tear up the ticket.

Wu Zetian was furious when he saw this, on the one hand, the whole city was roped in kidnappers, and on the other hand, he ordered Wu Zhuang to arrest Cui Geng, no matter what aspect it was, this matter was inseparable from Cui Geng.

The reason why he didn't tell Cui Geng at the beginning was mainly because he was afraid that he would jump off the wall in a hurry and resist arrest and abscond. After all, Cui Geng's fact that he is the master of the secret hall can't be hidden, and he really has this ability.

After listening to Shangguan Wan'er's story, Yang Wulian felt inexplicable, and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen has been living abroad for a long time, and this matter has nothing to do with Wechen!" ”

"Hmph, it has nothing to do with you?" Wu Zetian snorted coldly and said: "Su Dayuan and Ma Shengnai are from Lingzhou, the reason why they entered the palace was because Lingzhou suffered a disaster, and you stabbed the history of Lingzhou and embezzled the disaster relief money, causing their parents to have no food and clothing, and had to sell their son. Can you say that these two people have nothing to do with you today? ”

"I ......"

Yang Wulian almost wanted to cry without tears, he finally won the favor of Erzhang and suppressed the case in Shaanzhou, why did the case in Lingzhou happen again?

However, he still had a little luck and said, "This is what Master Su and Ma Sheng said in the letter they left?" How can the words of a rebellious minister and thief be credulous? Weichen is wronged! ”

Ahem~~

Suddenly, a slight cough sounded, and Zhang Cambodia said with a smile: "So that Yang Tingshi can know that this matter is not what Su Dayuan and Ma Sheng said in that letter, but the original appearance." It's not a secret, when you served as Ling, Gan, Feng, Huai, Shaanxi, and the history of the five states, all the cases you committed were clearly investigated, how about it? Do you want to tell everything about the real picture, one by one? ”

Okay, you're ruthless!

Yang Wulian instantly understood that this matter was the cause and effect, and even more understood how big the gap between himself and Cui Geng was.

He secretly pondered in his heart that he was blessed by the Zhang brothers, and Cui Geng was not alone! Zhang Cambodia's collection of evidence of his crimes must have started a long time ago, but he just kept it back.

It wasn't until now that the case of Princess Jincheng was released, and Old Man Zhang took advantage of this matter to suddenly make a difficulty!

The Zhang brothers can usually protect themselves, but Wu Zetian is now angry, and they can't help it.

Thinking of this, Yang Wulian said with a dead face: "It seems that Xiaguan is going to go on the road with Cui Jingzhao?" ”

"Not really." Zhang Changzong interjected: "This official has asked for His Majesty's grace and allowed you to make meritorious contributions to your crimes. ”

Yang Wulian said excitedly: "Huh? How...... How do you wear a guilty meritorious service? ”

"Of course, it's to find Princess Jincheng. Half a month...... Ah no, now there are only ten days left. Within ten days, you and Cui Jingzhao, whoever can find Princess Jincheng first will be considered guilty and exempted from punishment. If you can't find it...... That is, Cui Geng has the grace of the saint and let the traitor enter the palace, causing the princess of Jincheng to suffer. You Yang Wulian embezzled the disaster relief funds of the Mo Imperial Court, causing countless hungry people to starve to death, so let's go to the West Market together! ”

In addition to being the largest commercial market in Chang'an, the West Market was also the place where the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty were punished.

Cui Geng understands that although his capital crime has the meaning of compromise between Wu Zetian and the kidnappers, it may not be necessary to say how innocent he is.

He looked around, and saw Shangguan Wan'er, Princess Taiping and others all bowing slightly at him, and he understood that this was indeed what Wu Zetian meant. Of course, this may also be the best outcome that these people can achieve for themselves. After all, the two pillows are not covered, and it is not easy to grab such a handle for yourself, wouldn't it be too blown?

He knelt on the ground and said, "In this case, Weichen takes the order!" ”

Yang Wulian said anxiously: "This ...... That's unfair! Cui Gengren is called Cui Qingtian, and he has solved countless cases, but this assassin has no ability to investigate cases, when it comes to finding Princess Jincheng, can I compare? As...... But if anyone finds Princess Jincheng, they will pardon both of us, right? ”

"You can't say that." Wu Zetian said: "Allowing the two of you to make meritorious contributions is already an extrajudicial favor, how can you bargain?" Other than that...... In this matter, Yang Tingshi, you can't be considered to be at a loss. ”

"Why?"

"Where the hell are those two thieves? If it's a door-to-door search, it's really not very hopeful. You used to be a young craftsman, and you know Chang'an is a mansion in the palace very well, so you might as well think about where the thief might be hiding, and then make countermeasures. ”

"Where might it be ......"

Suddenly, Yang Wulian's eyes lit up, and he remembered an old incident, and he couldn't help but move in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, Weichen will receive the order." ”

The thing he came up with was not the whereabouts of a thief, but a secret passage.

At the beginning, when Yang Wulian built the palace as a young craftsman, he designed a secret passage for the emperor to escape when the rebellion occurred. In order to protect this secret, he also deliberately executed several craftsmen.

However, when the palace was just built, he was impeached by Yuan Shuji and forced out, so he didn't have time to tell the emperor this secret. Now, this secret passage can be used as an escape for yourself. Although the official is gone, he will have to live incognito in the future, but it is better than not having a life, isn't it?

Yang Wulian had already made up his mind and happily accepted Wu Zetian's order.

Wu Zetian was very happy, and found a Lieutenant Guo Yi named Chen Xuanli, with a thousand Shenwu troops, and listened to his dispatch. Of course, there is also a connotation of surveillance.

As for Cui Geng, it was enough to command his soldiers and horses in Jing Zhaoyin's headquarters, and in addition, Her Majesty the Empress was afraid that he would run away, so she sent Wu Zhuang with two hundred Yulin sergeants to stay on the left and right.

One day...... Two days...... Three days...... Five days passed, and the thief disappeared as if out of thin air.

Seeing that the deadline agreed with Wu Zetian was approaching, Yang Wulian finally made up his mind and said: "General Chen, this official thinks that after such a long time, the thieves can't be found, maybe they have already gone out of the city, so we might as well go outside the city to find them." ”

"Out of town?" Chen Xuanli said disappreciably: "When we get to the outside of the city, isn't that thief a fish leaping in the sea, and the sky is high and the birds are flying, where can we find it?" ”

Yang Wulian smiled slightly and said, "Second Holy Palace!" ”
