I'm happy after being scumbag

After leaving the palace and returning to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Shangguan Jie's first words were: "Bring Yan Yunge here."

The people below looked at his words and saw that Shangshu's attitude was different from before entering the palace.

This "difference" gave them a reassurance.When he went to the prison to mention Yan Yunge, his attitude was much more contemptuous.

Yan Yunge's old injury hadn't healed yet, and when he was brought to the front of the hall, his back was once again soaked in blood.

He used to be a general, with a strong body.Now it is like a dead leaf in the wind, being dragged by others, and then falling to the ground in embarrassment.

Shangguan Jie saw it in his eyes, his face remained motionless, and he said coldly: "Yan Yunge, are you still not guilty?"

Yan Yunge didn't answer.

Shangguan Jie frowned.He suspected that Yan Yunge had fainted again, and was about to order someone to pour cold water on him.At this moment, a coughing sound was suddenly heard.

Yan Yunge still spoke.Because of his serious injury, he spoke intermittently, saying: "Cough—if I plead guilty, King An will harm the emperor in the future, and what is the crime of Shangguan who is only thinking about King An today?"

Shangguan Jie didn't expect him to mention himself at this moment.He was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and said angrily: "Now that the evidence is overwhelming, you still argue?!"

Yan Yunge looked up at him.He was covered in blood, but his eyes were cold and bright, like stars in the cold night, looking at Shangguanjie.

He asked back: "The words of a servant in Prince An's mansion are 'iron proof'?"

After being imprisoned, Yan Yunge finally knew who sent the assassin.

That makes sense.King An didn't know the truth about King Ning's "strange disease". In his opinion, the emperor's life span was short.As long as no other Lu family was in Chang'an when the emperor died, the dragon chair must belong to his son.

This made King An make a bold and ruthless decision.I just don't know how he found the foreign race.

His body was already at the end of his strength, but Yan Yunge's attitude was still firm, and he said: "The words between me and Wei Hai, the prince of Jin, and the Khitan assassin are all lies? cough!"

Speaking of the latter part, Yan Yunge's voice slowly raised.But this rising momentum was interrupted by a burst of coughing.

Shangguan Jie listened to his words, his heartstrings were a little bit tense, and then he came back to his senses amid Yan Yunge's coughing, and reprimanded: "Everyone knows that Wei Hai is the former part of your Yan family! Now Wei Hai and Jin The prince entered Chang'an together, so it can be seen that the relationship is equally deep! Concubine Jiang, she has no connection with King An, but she also accuses your Yan family of harboring evil intentions! Yan Yunge, what do you have to argue about?"

After hearing this, Yan Yunge sneered: "She didn't say that in Beijiang."

Shangguan Jie's complexion changed slightly.But when he asked again, he couldn't ask anything.

In the end, he was tortured, but within two blows, Yan Yunge passed out and couldn't wake up even by splashing water.

Shangguanjie had no choice but to push him down again and think about Yan Yunge's words.

He naturally felt that Yan Yunge was making excuses.However, as Yan Yunge said, the situation is very different when foreign assassins are mixed in.If he had colluded with Wei Hai and Prince Jin's heir in advance, everything would be easy to talk about.But if not...

Shangguan Jie was in a cold sweat.

No, no, no, Yan Yunge's words were full of flaws.He had left Chang'an quietly before, and today he was unable to explain the difference in King Ning's hair color and complexion.King Ning was right, the foreign slave had been in the hands of Wei Hai and the others for several days, so he could have been coerced into obeying their orders and confessing that he wanted to assassinate the Prince of Jin.Shangguan Jie, don't let Yan Yunge's words disturb your mind!

He comforted himself and managed to calm down.It just so happened that there was a beeping sound from the street, and Shangguan Jie realized that it was already late at night.

Along with him, the Yan family, Wei Hai, and Prince Jin's sons heard the beating sound.

Up to now, Prince Jin's son is vaguely aware of the many strange things when he met Wei Hai by chance.But he also knew that at the moment, he, Wei Hai, and the Yan family were completely tied to the same boat.Therefore, Wei Hai's entry into the customs must be to track down the alien race.

Wei Hai's mind was similar to his.Besides, since the Yan family was captured by the imperial army, except for saying "ridiculous" to Mrs. Jiang's words, Yan Zhengyuan has never said a word.Zheng Gong's brain was active, and he also realized that Yan Yunge, who was called "ridiculous" by them before, seemed to be the only hope for the Yan family to make a comeback.Before knowing Yan Yunge's situation, he had better not say a word.As for Guo Mu, although he is reckless, he listens to the general in everything.Now that several people are being held separately, Guo Mu is naturally speechless if he can't see Yan Zhengyuan.

Doomed to be sleepless tonight.Only Yan Yunge passed out due to his injuries, so he rested overnight.

General Fuyuan's rebellion is a major event, and he must be placed in court.

Before Yan Yunge came back, Chaoshang had been making trouble for several days.

It is mainly the civil servants who advise the emperor on how to punish the rebels.Not to mention the family and family extermination, but the owl's first public display can also be considered.The remaining military officers who have nothing to do with the Yan Party and have not been implicated actively responded, proving that they are wholeheartedly loyal to the monarch, which is completely different from the Yan Party rebels.

Today, the news of Yan Yunge's arrest has spread.When Shangguan Jie was outside the palace gate, he was asked a few words if Yan Yunge had anything new to say.

Shangguan Jie didn't want to make trouble, he just said: "I will report it to Your Majesty."

Sun Qing listened, "tsk", obviously dissatisfied with Shangguanjie's answer.

Shangguan Jiewei paused and asked, "Is there still no new progress in the private salt case?"

Sun Qing got stuck.His eyes flickered, and he said, "That salt seller is really cunning."

Shangguan Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Sun Qing snorted twice and shut his mouth for the time being.

He can be quiet, and Shangguan Jie can also have a moment of peace.

Xu Shiyin had just had a conversation, but he suddenly remembered that when Jin Wang Shizi and Wei Hai were asked about it, they also mentioned the word "salt".

A dead Khitan assassin, they said, had said that the man who had hired them was sending salt across the steppes.

Shangguan Jie licked his lips.Naturally, this should be a lie, but it was just made up by those two people to prove their innocence.But having said that, after such a long time, Sun Qing and Chen Xiu still haven't found out a single result.

Sun Qing, Chen Xiu...

Sun Qing's wife is Wang An's cousin.

Sun Qing wanted to find out the source of the salt, but he didn't agree with Chen Xiu's proposal to send people to Zhecheng.Even Shangguan Jie had heard the disputes between Chen Xiu and him several times.

Thoughts turned here, the palace door opened.

Shangguan Jie did not move.At some point, his cheeks became tense and his throat felt slightly dry.

Something was wired together in his mind.Shangguan Jie sensed something was wrong, but there were too many scattered clues, and the truth and lies in front of him were intertwined.It is extremely difficult for him to discern the truth in it.

Someone called him: "Master Shangguan, why don't you leave?"

Shangguan Jie came back to his senses and said, "Here we come."

He did not find out anything new yesterday.When he said this, the emperor was obviously dissatisfied.

But Lu Mingyu reluctantly forgave him.It was a bit late when Yan Yunge was caught, and Shangguan Jie was really busy these days.There is no result for a while, and it is not such an unforgivable thing.

But Lu Mingyu still said it.Tomorrow at the latest, he must know the result.

What did the Yan family do after finding King Ning, how many troops they sent to Chang'an, and where are these troops hiding now.

Shangguan Jie agreed one by one.When he waited until the next court, he summoned Yan Yunge again.But this time, he didn't send someone to torture him, instead he found a doctor and asked him to see Yan Yunge's wounds.

This is what Shangguan Jie suddenly thought of.The reason why Yan Yunge didn't come out before was "illness". Looking at it now, he was indeed not in Chang'an at that time, but "sickness" might be true.Maybe that's the entry point.

Sure enough, after seeing it, the doctor told him that Yan Yunge had whip wounds on his back, and this whip had been received about half a month ago.

Shangguan Jie was excited.When the doctor was giving medicine to Yan Yunge, he asked, "Before Chen Xiu sent people to Zhecheng, why didn't the people there cooperate?"

Yan Yunge was startled and looked at him.

Shangguan Jie's eyes were burning, and he looked at Yan Yunge.

Seeing Yan Yunge's lips curled up, he asked, "Did Shangguan believe my words?"

Shangguan Jie denied it, saying: "No. It's just that if Wang An really has a different intention, I have to investigate."

Yan Yunge laughed lowly, and said: "I still believe it—Master Shangguan, His Majesty can still listen to your words now. You must remind Your Majesty that King An is not trustworthy." As he spoke, the words gradually increased.

Shangguan Jie's eyelids twitched.On the one hand, he suspected that this was Yan Yunge's new method, showing his concern for the emperor, and proving that he was definitely not a rebel.On the one hand, he felt that Yan Yunge considered for the emperor in this way, and had such a relationship with the emperor, how could he endanger the emperor?I'm afraid I'm not really being framed.If so, it would be the right decision to treat him today.

However, Shangguan Jie did not forget his purpose.He interrupted Yan Yunge and said: "You just tell me, why didn't Zhecheng investigate the case properly with Mr. Chen?"

Yan Yunge was silent for a moment, then replied: "The few months I was away from Chang'an last year made Uncle Zheng very worried."

The words were vague, but He Shangguanjie understood.

If Zheng Gong had felt that the emperor was going to attack the Yan family at that time, and the matter of the private salt case came up, wouldn't he have felt that the emperor was looking for a crime for himself?

So, it makes sense.

Shangguanjie asked again: "The whip on your back was hit by Yan Zhengyuan?" Yan Yunge didn't answer, and he didn't have to wait for the other party to answer, "Why did he beat you?"

Yan Yunge remained silent.

Shangguan Jie asked another question: "Is it related to this matter that you left Chang'an?"

Yan Yunge glanced at him and said, "Yes."

Shangguan Jie said: "Up to now, you have to tell me the truth."

Yan Yunge said: "This is the truth."

Shangguan Jie: "It's just not complete."

Yan Yunge said: "Indeed it is not complete." After a pause, "But you tell His Majesty this, His Majesty understands better than you."

Shangguan Jie choked.He looked at Yan Yunge with complicated eyes.

Yan Yunge's gaze was heavy, and he didn't dodge it.

Shangguan Jie saw it, half sighed, half probing, and said: "You are calm."

Yan Yunge listened, his eyelids finally drooped a little, and he smiled wryly: "How can I be calm again? I just don't want to see Your Majesty be deceived by traitors."

I mean it.

Who would have thought.For the first time in so many years, he chose the latter without hesitation between the Yan family and Lu Mingyu, but Lu Mingyu just didn't believe it.

And Yan Yunge even knew that this was what he deserved.

The Yan family is too outrageous, and he has his own share of it.If the emperor wanted to punish him for this, Yan Yunge had nothing to say.

But not now.

Once he admits to treason, King An can be picked out and continue to be his innocent prince.If such a person is left in Chang'an, even if Yan Yunge dies, he can't feel at ease.

Seeing his attitude, Shangguanjie got up and left without saying anything.

Halfway through, I heard Yan Yunge say again: "Your Majesty previously announced that the six sons of the family would enter Chang'an. Now that Prince Jin has an accident, the others have no news. Lord Shangguan, just think about it. Who will benefit from all this?"

Shangguan Jie didn't stop, let alone look back.But he knew that the balance in his heart had begun to tilt.
