Wei Wuhou

Chapter 796 Hard to find is the truth 2
After Wei Wuji entrusted the task to Xiang Xuan, in order to make Wei Wuji more satisfied, this person did everything possible.

After arresting and interrogating people overnight, and making a fuss, he brought out the results of his investigation the next morning.

Inside the Yongming Hall, Wei Wuji sat on the throne, quietly listening to Xiang Xuan's report.

This great spy who was born as a ruffian showed his true nature as a rogue to the fullest in this mission, using all kinds of harmful tricks until he got what the monarch wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, I first checked the families of the Wang family and the Cao family, then arrested them overnight and asked who these two families have been in contact with since January!" Xiang Xuan said in a deep voice.

Wei Wuji liked Xiang Xuan's mad dog look, but he laughed and said, "If you captured the Wang family and the Cao family, aren't you afraid that these two families will trouble you?"

Xiang Xuan quickly said: "The minister is on a business for the emperor, how can he be afraid of them!"

Wei Wuji nodded, it couldn't be better for him that his subordinates have such awareness.

So Wei Wuji said, "Go on, what have you found!"

Xiang Xuan then continued: "After repeated questioning by the minister, the Wang family has confessed that... Wang Yu, the eldest son of the Wang family, has gotten very close to Mr. Cao Jun in recent days, and they have private gatherings every now and then!"

Wei Wuji didn't speak, Xiang Xuan could only continue talking: "Then I interrogated the servants of Cao's family, which is consistent with what Wang's family said!"

These two sentences have already proved that this turmoil has something to do with the Wang family!
Seeing Xiang Xuan hesitated to speak, Wei Wuji asked, "What else did you find?"

Xiang Xuan showed a bitter expression, and then slowly said: "The minister will also arrest... the followers of Lord Wang Yu and Cao Jun for interrogation, and want to find out what they talked about during the party!"

Wei Wuji said casually, "What did you ask?"

After Xiang Xuan swallowed her saliva, she said: "According to the account of the two people, when the two of them got together, every time Cao Jun complained, he said...Your Majesty..."

At this time, Wei Wuji's anger really came up, and he asked coldly: "What are you talking about?"

Now that he chose to speak out, Xiang Xuan also gave it up at this time, so he heard him say: "Cao Jun said that after the emperor succeeded to the throne, he treated the Cao family poorly, and his family's current status... is far worse than that of the Xie family back then Yea!"

"What Cao Jun said, Wang Yu took it seriously every time, and never complained...and once said that if there is a chance, the Wang family will stand up and help the Cao family..."

"Bastard..." Wei Wuji couldn't help cursing.Hearing this, Wei Wuji was so angry that he slapped all the copper pots on the table flying.

Xiang Xuan, who was below, immediately knelt down on the ground, fearing that the monarch's anger would affect her.

After a long time, Wei Wuji regained his composure and said, "What do you mean, this incident...is the Wang family behind the scenes and the Cao family in front?"

How does Xiang Xuan answer this question? He is just an investigator, and he is helping the monarch to make a judgment instead of replacing it.

If only the Wang family was involved, no matter how powerful the Wang family was, Xiang Xuan would dare to directly convict him.

But there is also the Cao family here, the Cao family itself is not scary, but behind the Cao family are Mrs. Cao Xin and the eldest son.

So Xiang Xuan kowtowed and said, "I... just know that after the court meeting on April [-]th, Wang Yu once persuaded Cao Jun to be the county guard. Wang Jia's intentions are really unpredictable!"

Xiang Xuan's words avoided the risk of offending the Cao family, and meant to shift the blame to the Wang family, but they did not directly excuse the Cao family.

Hearing this, Wei Wuji had a general understanding of what happened, and then he asked Xiang Xuan to go down to deal with the funeral.

After Xiang Xuan left, Wei Wuji's thoughts did not stop.

That's right, now that things are clear, the Wang family is playing tricks behind the scenes to help the Cao family fight for the position of sheriff.

However, what is the purpose of the Wang family helping the Cao family?The Wang family will not do anything that is not beneficial.

The Cao family... The Cao family... What's the benefit of helping them?
Thinking about it, Wei Wuji suddenly realized that the Wang family valued the Cao family...or Cao Xin?Or is it the eldest son's natural choice?
This was the most suitable reason Wei Wuji thought of. The Wang family was unwilling to remain silent, so they started to attack their son.

This is also the method of the family all the time, just like Wei Chengze and Wei Jingrong back then, not all of them had the support of the family behind them.

Tapping on the table lightly, Wei Wuji thought carefully about how he should deal with this matter, or how he should deal with the Wang family and the Cao family.

Although there must be other people involved in this matter, Wei Wuji is not going to investigate further, as that will only disrupt the stability of the court and is not conducive to his subsequent strategy implementation.

In fact, as long as the Wang family and the Cao family are dealt with, it will be enough to deter a group of people.When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This kind of thing cannot be avoided.

Just when Wei Wuji decided to demote the title of the Wang family by two more ranks, and called Cao Jun to give him a lesson, an inadvertent thought stunned him again.

The Wang family conspired... Since it was a conspiracy, it was discovered so easily?
By the way, how did I find the key to the problem?Wei Wuji couldn't help asking himself.

He called Yu Zhong into the hall, and asked, "How did you know about the roasted goose palm in the Wang family?"

How could it be such a coincidence that when he was in trouble, Yu Zhong pointed out the Wang family in front of him, and Wei Wuji decided to ask.

Yu Zhong's heart tightened, the monarch asked questions like this, it didn't look like he wanted to eat goose palms.

So he replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, yesterday... yesterday..."

Because of his nervousness, he couldn't remember what happened yesterday.

Wei Wuji didn't force him, but slowly said: "Think about it, what's going on!"

This made Yu Zhong relax a lot, so he carefully recalled what happened before dinner yesterday, bit by bit.

After a while, Yu Zhongcai replied: "Your Majesty, this servant has remembered... Yesterday when this servant went to pass on the food, he met a lord, and he told this servant!"

Officials who were able to enter and leave the former court were considered quite high-ranking officials, but it seemed strange to talk to a servant.

So Wei Wuji asked: "Then do you remember, who is that person?"

This is really difficult for Yu Zhong, although he is popular, but it is impossible to call everyone by name.

While Yu Zhong was thinking, he heard Wei Wuji say: "Forget it, don't think about it!"

At this moment, Wei Wuji didn't want to go any further. Now that the Wang family has been pulled out, should others be involved?

Is it the prime minister?Or the imperial historian?Or Ting Wei?Or is it someone else who you rely on?Wei Wuji no longer wanted to investigate further.

Because this is not just a matter of the previous dynasty, it may even involve a dispute in the harem.

Behind the Cao family is Cao Xin, the family of Yushi doctor Zhang Yu and Ting Wei Zhao Yu's family, and there are also Zhang Meiren and Zhao Meiren.

Now, Wei Wuji once again realized that the position of the monarch is not so easy to sit in!

Claiming to be a widow, Wei Wuji is really a loner now, and everyone may have calculations around him.

Even sons and wives and concubines cannot be trusted!
This was destined... Wei Wuji persuaded himself in his heart, just to make himself not so angry.

After a long time, Wei Wuji said to Yu Zhong: "Listen, what happened today is rotten in your stomach, don't talk about it outside!"

Yu Zhong nodded repeatedly, he could feel that the atmosphere of the past two days was not right, and knew that if he talked too much, he might lose his life.

At this time, Wei Wuji also decided to formally understand the matter, so he heard him say: "Preach the widow's will..."
