"Fourth Young Master, this is the latest interrogation statement!"

Yang Dong presented a thick stack of interrogation records to Yang Xi.

Yang Xi took it and looked at it carefully, but he didn't show any joy after reading it, and still looked calm. He didn't get what he needed, and there was no evidence to prove that these people were under the influence of others.

The new confessions of the assassins did not specify this point. However, this is no longer very important. The important thing is that he has determined that this matter has nothing to do with King Yan Li Bin.

In later generations, there was an interrogation method that made officials very afraid, which was to explain the issues at a specified time and place, commonly known as double regulations. According to what Yang Xi knew, there was no beating or scolding in this kind of interrogation, and there should be no forced confession.

, just taking turns to interrogate each other, without giving each other time to sleep, completely causing their mental breakdown. Yang Xi asked Li Han, Liu Feng and others to interrogate the assassins in this way.

Although these ranger assassins have stronger mental and willpower than ordinary people, how can they withstand such "torture" after they have not had a good rest for several days? After three days and three nights without sleep, most of them

Some people broke down and told everything they knew, even how many times they had stolen things and which women they had raped.

However, no one confessed that they were commissioned by Prince Li Heng to assassinate Yang Guozhong, but they also directly said that when they first contacted them, they revealed their identity as a subordinate of King Yan Li Bin and wanted the assassin.

They tried to find a way to assassinate the treacherous prime minister Yang Guozhong and give him to

The reward was naturally very generous. They also explained in detail what the person they contacted looked like, what clothes he wore, what accent he spoke, and where he contacted. They had tracked the whereabouts of the person they contacted, but it was not

Heading to Prince Yan's Mansion.

It was these circumstances that made Yang Xi completely convinced that all this had nothing to do with King Yan Li Bin.

The Li Yuting mentioned by the assassin did not match these characteristics at all. The person responsible for liaison seemed to be a eunuch.

"Li Heng is quite cunning!" Yang Xi was already sure that this was definitely done by Prince Li Heng, although there was no direct evidence to prove this.

His next plan was to order his men to capture the person the assassin said was responsible for contacting them.

If this person is caught, the truth will be revealed to the world.

Yang Xi's bodyguards, as well as Li Han, and the special operations team led by Liu Feng immediately went to carry out the order. Yang Xi did not report the capture of the assassin to Emperor Li Longji, and the Jingzhao Mansion's detectives promptly

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army were still searching for the assassins day and night. They had searched almost all the places in Chang'an City that could be searched. Of course, they could not gain anything, they were just doing useless work.

Yang Xi went to Guo Ziyi to talk about this matter.

"Father-in-law, my son-in-law's people have captured all the assassins. The interrogation has been going on for four days, and everyone has confessed!"

"What? The assassin has been captured by your men?" Guo Ziyi stood up in disbelief, "Ziliang, since the assassin has been captured, why not stop the city-wide search?"

"Father-in-law, some people are not afraid yet. So now is not the time to stop the search!" Yang Xi explained patiently: "The captured assassins did not explain who was behind them! My son-in-law feels that if we continue to search,

And publish the search results at the appropriate time to let people know that we have captured the assassins one by one. Those people may not be able to help but jump out..."

Yang Xi's words made Guo Ziyi a little confused. He didn't fully understand it all at once and looked at Yang Xi doubtfully.

Seeing Guo Ziyi's appearance, Yang Xi had no choice but to explain: "My father-in-law, my son-in-law just wants to shake things up so that the murderer behind the scenes can no longer hold back and take the initiative to stand up and do something."

Yang Xi then told Guo Ziyi the process of hunting down the assassin and the results of the interrogation in great detail. He also told the other party his speculations. After Guo Ziyi showed a look of sudden realization, he then said: "Father-in-law, because we can rule out delaying the assassination."

The king sent people to assassinate my father.

Yes, so my son-in-law believes that His Highness the Crown Prince must have sent someone to do this. If during the continued search, we spread the news that the Crown Prince did all this, then the Crown Prince might not be able to bear it.

If we take extreme measures, His Majesty will definitely not let it go."

After Guo Ziyi understood what Yang Xi meant, he was not surprised. Instead, there was worry that could not be hidden on his face. After sighing, he asked Yang Xi: "Ziliang, if it is really the prince who did this, you are acting in a hurry."

What will he do?"

"The prince is likely to launch a mutiny and imitate his father to seize the throne!" Yang Xi said calmly: "Your Majesty has not yet completely made up his mind to change the crown prince. If the prince does this, the only result will be that the crown prince's position will not be guaranteed. This

This is what my son-in-law expected. I believe that after the prince is deposed, the real culprit who assassinated my father will be found out."

Guo Ziyi was slightly surprised by Yang Xi's thoughts, but he still asked calmly: "Ziliang, do you have to let His Majesty change the crown prince?"

Yang Xi did not answer directly, but asked Guo Ziyi: "Father-in-law, do you think that if the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, how will he treat our Yang family? How will he treat His Highness Prince Yan?"

"He will definitely not tolerate your Yang family continuing to act like this, and he will definitely find a way to eliminate the threat from King Yan!"

Hearing what Guo Ziyi said, a smile appeared on Yang Xi's lips: "Since my father-in-law thinks so too, you must also hope that the position of prince will be replaced by someone else, right? Otherwise, you would not marry Xin'er to me.

If the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor, then you are pushing your daughter into a pit of fire!"

Guo Ziyi also laughed. He did not deny what Yang Xi said. It was precisely because he expected that Li Heng's crown prince would not be guaranteed that he would marry Guo Xin to Yang Xi. If he had not

With this information out of the way, how could it be possible to kill my daughter?

What about the heirs of the Yang family who are likely to be unlucky soon after the new emperor ascends the throne? Guo Ziyi thought that Li Heng would be unlucky, the Yang family's glory would continue, and Yang Xi might even have greater achievements, so she married her daughter to him.

Yang Xi is his wife.

Although Yang Xi said it very directly that day, he asked him if he wanted his daughter to be the future queen. Although Guo Ziyi was unwilling to admit this, the meaning was almost the same.

"Ziliang, do you think that the prince will do something as a last resort if he is cornered? How will you respond?" After asking this question, Guo Ziyi's expression changed a bit.

Yang Xi looked directly at Guo Ziyi and replied calmly: "Father-in-law, as long as the Imperial Army is under control, no matter how hard His Highness the Crown Prince tries, he will not succeed."

"Well, I understand what you mean," Guo Ziyi also had a smile on her face, "Ziliang, since you are ready, I won't say anything anymore. Don't worry, I will support you. No matter what, I will support you."

, you are all people that I admire very much. If you were not in the court, it would be my eldest son.

Tang's huge loss, no matter what angle you think about it, I can only support you in doing things. I just hope that you can think more about the consequences when you act, so as not to fall into passivity. In such a matter, one passive move may lead to the whole situation.

Lose. You can’t afford to lose. If you lose, you may lose everything.”

"Thank you father-in-law for your support, and thank you for your reminder. My son-in-law will always keep it in mind and never forget it! Father-in-law, please rest assured that my son-in-law will definitely succeed. The entire Tang Dynasty will also be affected by the appearance of my son-in-law.

, and things are getting better and better and more prosperous, the turmoil will eventually pass, and stability will come soon."

"I believe in you!" Guo Ziyi smiled knowingly. It was not Yang Xi's words that moved him, but Yang Xi's full confidence when he spoke that convinced Guo Ziyi that he would succeed. He patted Yang Xi on the shoulder and said

: "Ziliang, I believe you will succeed, and I will fully support you, because you are my son-in-law and my favorite daughter, Guo Ziyi, haha!"

Yang Xi also laughed twice.

The two discussed the matter for a while, and Yang Xi said goodbye and left. He did not return home immediately, but went to find Yang Yuhuan.

After Yang Yuhuan retreated, Yang Xi immediately explained his intention: "Auntie, Silang has collected very important clues and evidence. His father's assassination should have been carried out by someone sent by His Highness the Crown Prince. He also planned to assassinate him."

After success, take the matter to His Highness Prince Yan!"

Yang Xi's direct explanation shocked Yang Yuhuan, and he immediately lowered his voice and asked: "Silang, is this really true?"

"Yes, I believe that in a few days, everything will be revealed!" Yang Xi was full of confidence, and immediately stepped forward to sit on Yang Yuhuan, took her hand, and said anxiously: "Aunt, I believe that His Highness the Crown Prince also

You will definitely understand that he is planning

Things will be exposed. He has been working hard to prepare during this period. I believe that he will definitely take action after feeling that the danger is approaching. I also hope that my aunt will find a way to remind His Majesty so that His Majesty can be more worried to avoid a big disaster.

of turmoil.”

Yang Yuhuan looked at Yang Xi seriously and finally understood what Yang Xi meant. He nodded and said: "Silang, aunt understands what you mean. Don't worry, aunt will definitely find a way to remind your majesty so that he can have a happy life."

Be mentally prepared. No matter what, I believe His Majesty will be able to make a decision soon whether to establish a crown prince or not."

"Thank you so much, auntie!" Yang Xi said, kissing Yang Yuhuan on the face, but instead of taking advantage of her as eagerly as usual, he immediately stood up and prepared to leave, "Auntie, Si Lang today

I won’t stay much longer, my people are busy nervously, I’m going to take charge of things, maybe I’ve already caught a big fish!”

"Then you go ahead. If there is anything difficult to decide, you can go to the palace and talk to your aunt!"

"Thank you, aunt!" Yang Xi didn't stay long and immediately left the palace where Yang Yuhuan lived.
