There were beads of sweat on Xuan Shiba's forehead, and he replied: "Back to your Majesty, before Wang Jiahe committed suicide by hitting the wall in Tianlao, and Jia Rong was forced to pretend to be crazy and act like a fool, I think the mastermind behind the scenes can take action in such a short period of time.
The prison guards already have If a person is bribed, there must be someone to support him.
But after all, I am not an official of the Tang Dynasty, so I cannot investigate and adjust the guards of the Tianlao.
If Li Mian is also imprisoned in the Tianlao, I cannot guarantee his safety.
If he is also killed. , this clue is completely If it is broken, it will be even more difficult to find new clues.
From the incident of Wang Jiahe hitting the wall and committing suicide, it can be seen that Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong are important figures in the rebellion case, otherwise the mastermind behind the scenes would not be so anxious.
It's so hard to bear that they have just been imprisoned in the sky prison.
They took action on the same day, and from the massacre of Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong, we can see how cruel and terrifying the mastermind behind the scenes is.
In order to make them shut up, they will do anything.
This is a sign that they have lost their reason and Crazy performance” Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Li Bin and asked: "King Yan and all the princes and princes of the clan, you all understand now, right?
Gu has encountered countless assassinations over the years he has been in power, but the nature of this time is completely different.
Although the two of Gu The princess died in this assassination incident.
I was indeed very sad and angry, but this was not the reason why I really went to war.
As everyone knows, they actually imprisoned the military commander.
Generals, plotting to seize military power, and launching rebellions are absolutely intolerable and cannot be compromised.
You are the clan of the Tang Dynasty.
If the rebellion succeeds, what good will it do to you?
You will also be the target of massacre by the rebels.
You must understand your Identity, Gu is now protecting the foundation of your Li Tang Dynasty.
You should stand with Gu and resolutely oppose this rebellion that harms the foundation of the Tang Dynasty instead of causing chaos here."
Li Bin's old face turned red.
He just wanted to scold his mother, but he couldn't say it out loud.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and cupped his hands and said: "Okay, since the regent said so, I don't want others to scold me behind my back, but I think The reason for arresting people is a bit far-fetched.
As far as I know, Jia Rong has gone crazy.
How can you trust a lunatic?
Do you think that you have to attack an important court minister and a clan official based on the words of a lunatic?
Does the imperial court have laws to speak of?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, since King Yan said so, let us see if this Jia Rong is really crazy or fake.
Come, tell Jia Rong."
"Biography of Jia Rong" "Biography of Jia Rong" The eunuchs passed the message to the imperial city gate one after another.
The imperial guards and eunuchs on duty at the city gate immediately went to Tianlao to pick up people.
It didn't take long for Jia Rong, who was wearing wooden shackles and chains, to be brought to the main hall.
"The guilty minister Jia Rong pays homage to the king.
The guilty minister will die forever."
Jia Rong, with a haggard face and a prison uniform, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Zhao Ziliang pointed at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and said: "Jia Rong, get up, look at all the civil and military ministers here, and identify all the people you can name."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Although Jia Rong didn't know why, he still stood up and pointed at the ministers one by one, calling out their names and official positions.
After the identification was completed, Zhao Ziliang said again: "Jia Rong, Gu has great trust in you, and the court treats you well.
Why do you want to rebel?
Do you think Gu and the court have not given you enough?"
Jia Rong hurriedly knelt down and said: "No, no, it's all because of my weak will.
I was dragged into the water by Li Mian.
I am guilty of a capital crime.
I am ashamed to be so kind to the king and the court.

I only want to die."
"Whether you die or not will be judged by Dali Temple.
I want to ask you, tell me in detail how Li Mian dragged you into the water, so that all the princes in the court can listen."
"Yes" Jia Rong agreed, and immediately told in detail how Li Mian dragged him into the water.
After Jia Rong was escorted back to Tianlao, Zhao Ziliang asked the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "My lords, you have just seen Jia Rong's performance.
Is he really crazy or fake?
Is his testimony credible?"
The ministers started talking in low voices, and soon someone came forward and said that Jia Rong was definitely fake and his testimony was valid.
This was seconded by many officials.
However, Li Bin still stood up and said: "Although Jia Rong is not crazy, and his accusation is valid, who can guarantee that he will not bite people randomly?
It would be too childish to attack a clan prince just based on his one-sided words." " Lu Qi was a man who was good at digging into camps.
He saw that Zhao Ziliang had made it clear that he wanted to follow Li Mian's line of investigation.
He immediately stood up and said to Li Bin: "King Yan, you are wrong.
No matter what Li Mian said, Mian is still a serious suspect.
Isn't this being investigated?
If there is conclusive evidence, do we still need to investigate?
We can just send him to Dali Temple for trial to uphold the law of the country."
However, Li Bin and other clan princes and princes refused to give in, insisting that the arrest of Li Mian was too hasty and hasty.
Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and felt that it was best not to quarrel with the clan at this time.
He made some concessions and said to Xuan Shiba: "I will give you ten days at most.
If I can't find Li Mian's exact identity within ten days, I will give you ten days at most."
If there is evidence of guilt, then let him go."
Xuan Shiba knew that this was already the longest investigation time Zhao Ziliang had given him, so he agreed: "Yes."
Zhao Ziliang then said to Liu Congyi, the Minister of Punishment, and Xiao Fu, the Minister of Dali Temple: "The mastermind behind the conspiracy has penetrated into the Tianlao, and the Tianlao is under the joint jurisdiction of your two departments.
Since the current guards of the Tianlao are no longer reliable, , what do you two say?"
Both Liu Congyi and Xiao Fu's families have rich backgrounds.
Liu Congyi's ancestor Liu Linfu once served as the minister of Zhongshu during the period of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, and Xiao Fu's father Xiao Heng was the consort of Princess Xinchang, the daughter of Emperor Xuanzong.
Tianlao was originally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, when Zhao Ziliang carried out the official system reform, he considered that the prison belonged to the judicial system.
If it was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment, it would be detrimental to judicial construction.
However, Tianlao has always been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment.
It would not be appropriate to transfer it to Dali Temple all at once.
Therefore, it was decided to let the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly manage the Tianlao.
The Tianlao was divided into two parts, namely the detention area and the sentence area.
The detention area was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Punishment, while the sentence area was under the jurisdiction of Dali Temple.
Liu Congyi and Xiao Fu immediately knelt down and apologized: "As the superior officials of Tianlao, I failed to supervise the prisoner, which caused the prisoner to commit suicide.
I am guilty and I will ask for punishment."
Zhao Ziliang said: "Punishment or not is put aside for the time being.
I am asking you, what are you going to do about this matter?
After so many days, how come I heard that Tianlao has not taken any countermeasures?"
Liu Congyi, the Minister of Punishment, hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jiahe and Jia Rong are in the detention area.
It is my fault that this kind of thing happened.
In fact, after the accident, I have ordered the prison to be strengthened."
Increased vigilance, increased sentries and patrols According to the law, we have also intensified the interrogation of internal personnel who come in and out, and conduct mutual supervision.
Internal verification is also being carried out these days, but it is estimated that the traitors who have mixed in are deeply hidden, and it is difficult to detect them for a while.

Please forgive me. some time” Zhao Ziliang said: "I can give you a grace period, but what if something happens to the criminal again?"
"This" Liu Congyi was speechless.
"In Yi Gu's opinion, the warden of Tianyao is also a loser.
It has been so long since the incident happened, and he still hasn't found out the culprit.
What's the use of him as the warden?
Replace him immediately.
If he doesn't, I have replaced the two of you.
I have chosen whether I should replace you, or you should replace the warden, and choose another capable man to give you two days.
The new warden must be in place.
The matter of the ghosts in the prison will be included in the treason case, and the investigation will be carried out together.
All officials, jailers, and everyone inside the prison must cooperate.”
When Zhao Ziliang said this, he said sternly: "At this time, the investigation of the treason case is the first priority.
Everything must make way for this case.
Anyone who does not cooperate and resists will be seriously suspected.
If you are innocent, you will be punished for treason."
Yes, if you don’t have any evil intentions, you should cooperate with the investigation honestly.
If you don’t have any evil intentions, why are you afraid of obstruction?”
The direction of these words is quite obvious.
Previously, Li Bin and other clan princes and princes were quite dissatisfied with the arrest of Li Mian, and they even argued with Zhao Ziliang in court.
Now Zhao Ziliang's counterattack is so bloody that even these princes and princes They were also frightened in their hearts, and many of them turned pale with horror.
After the dynasty was dismissed, Xuan Shiba had just returned to the secret place where Li Mian was secretly detained when he heard his subordinate Tao Jinshui coming forward excitedly to report: "My lord, we have found it.
After a morning of searching, the brothers found him in Li Mian's house.
A secret passage was discovered in a room in the backyard.
Under the secret passage There is a huge secret room in which all the family members of the Wang and Jia families are hidden.
However, after these days, those people have been locked in the secret room, and several of them are seriously ill.
Now all of them have died.
He has been found, and his subordinates have sent people to strictly guard and protect him, and have strengthened the sentries."
"Great, let's go and see Li Mian.
I want to see how stubborn he can be this time."
"yes" Xuan Shiba walked to the door of the cell where Li Mian was imprisoned.
He suddenly stopped and turned around and asked: "I searched for half the night last night and couldn't find it.
How come I found it in less than half a day when I went to have a fight?"
Tao Jinshui squirmed and hesitated: "This was, the brothers tortured Li Mian's second son and cut off one of his arms.
He was in so much pain that he couldn't bear it."
Xuan Shiba sighed: "It seems that sometimes in order to solve a case, you can't follow the rules.
I just pretended that I didn't hear about it, and you didn't say anything about it."
Tao Jinshui hurriedly handed over his hands: "Thank you, sir."
Approaching the cell, Xuan Shiba came to Li Mian and said: "Li Mian, we found a secret room in a room in your backyard and rescued the Wang and Jia families from it.
Do you have anything else to say now?
It doesn't matter, based on this alone, your charge of rebellion is confirmed.
If you continue to keep silent and resist to the end, your charge of rebellion will be confirmed.
It will only be more serious.
According to the new laws of the Tang Dynasty, your family members will not be punished to death, but if you refuse to explain the problem, they will be beheaded with you in public.
If you take the initiative to explain and tell everything you know, I can also plead for mercy in front of the regent, and at least I can save their lives.
You should think carefully about your choice."

After hearing these words, Li Mian was as paralyzed as mud.
After all, he could not bear to let his family die with him.
After struggling for a long time in his heart, he finally chose to give in.
"Okay, I say":
