In the guest hall, Lai Junchen was drinking tea uneasyly waiting for Wu Sansi. He felt that he had been waiting for too long. From the waiting time, we can see Wu Sansi's attitude towards him. In order to seek his defeat of Xingtang Association, Wu Sansi sent Mr. Ming to visit him. His sincere attitude made him moved.

But just twenty days have passed, Wu Sansi left himself in the reception hall for a quarter of an hour. His respectfulness in front and rudeness in the back made Lai Junchen feel very moved.

Although he was very dissatisfied, now Lai Junchen had something to ask for Yu Wusansi, so he could only resist the unhappiness in his heart. Lai Junchen knew that there were too many enemies. If he went to Tongzhou to work, he would definitely be harmed. Moreover, if he was not in the capital, what should he do with his wealth, beauty and hundreds of shamans?

Lai Junchen repeatedly considered that the only way was to stay in the capital in the name of curing the disease, but if he wanted the emperor to agree, he could only ask Wu Sansi for help.

At this time, footsteps came from the hall, and Wu Sansi walked in slowly. Lai Junchen quickly got up to greet him, bowed and bowed, "See Your Highness."

"Come to join the army, long time no see us?"

When Lai Junchen heard that there was a meanness in his tone, he cursed in his heart, and could only hold back his anger: "I feel deeply ashamed that I failed to destroy the Xingtang Association for Your Highness."

"Xingtang will not threaten me, "Where do you start with me, but joining the army is actually in the hands of a young man who has been in the industry for less than a year. It is really surprising. Even I feel sorry for joining the army."

Wu Sansi's words were extremely mean, and Lai Junchen was really a little embarrassed. He couldn't say a word for a while. Wu Sansi smiled and said, "Of course things are not that simple, and we can't say that we are incompetent in the army. Please sit down."

Lai Junchen sat down silently, and a maid came in to serve them tea. Wu Sansi asked with a smile: "When will I go to Tongzhou to take office?"

Lai Junchen wanted to say this, but Wu Sansi said it too casually, so that he could not speak. After a while, he whispered: "I am in poor health and have a lot of illnesses. I want to take care of my illness in the capital and go to Tongzhou after my health recovers. I wonder what the prince thinks?"

Wu Sansi smiled, "This is human nature. Of course I have no objection, but I don't count it if I say it. I need the emperor to agree."

"I want to ask the prince to talk to me in front of the saint and agree to stay in Luoyang to recuperate."

Wu Sansi was silent, picked up the tea and took a few sips slowly, but did not accept his words. Lai Junchen knew that Wu Sansi had always been indifferent and might not be willing to help him, but the emperor refused to see him again. At this time, apart from asking Wu Sansi for help, Lai Junchen could not find anyone else.

He hurriedly said, "The emperor demoted Huyi to join the army of Tongzhou, and there was no intention of being guilty. It was obvious that it was just a symbolic punishment. I believe that it would be restored to the post soon. At that time, Huyi would do his best to do his best to do things for the prince."

If Lai Junchen said this a month ago, maybe Wu Sansi would still be moved to think about it, but now Li Zhen has his handle and has clearly put forward conditions for him, so he would not help Lai Junchen again.

Wu Sansi nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, come to join the army. I, Wu Sansi, are also nostalgic people. I will not turn against you. I will definitely talk about love in front of the saint for you and let you stay in the capital to recuperate."

Lai Junchen was overjoyed. Wu Sansi pleaded for him, and he had great hope to stay in Luoyang. He hurriedly thanked: "The prince's kindness, Lai Junchen will remember it.

"You're welcome." Wu Sansi smiled hypocritically, then picked up the tea bowl and asked, "Is there anything else to do when joining the army?"

"There is nothing else. This is a little bit of humble intention. Please accept it with a smile."

He put a small box on the table, bowed humbly, and said goodbye. Wu Sansi asked his second son Wu Jizhi to send Junchen out.

After Junchen walked away, Wu Sansi picked up the brocade box and opened it. He saw that there was a piece of white jade in the brocade box. The jade was as big as a butterfly, crystal clear and without any impurities. It was a piece of top-quality jade. You would feel a hint of chill when you hold it in your hand.

Wu Sansi immediately realized that this was the ancestral ice jade from Qiao Zhizhi's family. This ice jade is very precious and has very few existences. There is an ice jade pillow in the palace, and Princess Taiping also has a string of ice jade hand beads.

However, Wu Sansi knew that Lai Junchen should have a night pearl as big as a pigeon egg. It was one of Wu Chengsi's three night pearls. Lai Junchen refused to present the night pearl to him. Wu Sansi couldn't help but snorted angrily.

At this time, Wu Jizhi hurried back and bowed and said, "Father, he has left."

"Um"

Wu San thought about it and said, "You go to the Censorate again and find Liu Guangye for me."

The Censor Liu Guangye sent a greeting letter in the afternoon and begged to see him. Wu Sansi certainly knew that Liu Guangye wanted to plan for Lai Junchen's position as the chief censor. Wu Sansi also repeatedly considered that if Liu Guangye could become his own dog, wouldn't it be a great benefit to him if he replaced Lai Junchen?

Now let’s take a look at Liu Guangye’s sincerity?

At the same time when Liu Guangye visited Wu Sansi, Li Zhenzheng and Gao Jian sat opposite each other and drank in a small tavern outside the Inner Guard Office.

Gao Jian took a sip of wine and asked with a smile: "I don't quite understand. Since Commander Li has already obtained the evidence of Qiao Zhizhi's wife, why don't he pursue the victory and take action to bring Lai Junchen down in one go?"

Li Zhen shook his head and said, "The emperor demoted Lai Junchen to Tongzhou, which was obviously just a perfunctory thing. It can be seen that she was still a little hesitant and did not want to kill Lai Junchen. She might want to keep Lai Junchen cold first. When one day she needed it, she would start Junchen again. At this time, I would remove Qiao Zhizhi's affairs, at most, and I would be able to remove Lai Junchen for the most part, so I would not completely eliminate Lai Junchen, so I want to wait a little longer."

"Does Commander Li have any backup plan?" Gao Jian asked tentatively.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, "I have no way to do it. It's just that Lai Junchen has too many enemies. There must be many people collecting evidence of his crimes, or writing a letter to the emperor to execute Lai Junchen. It's not too late for me to take action after the pressure on public opinion is enough."

Gao Jian smiled and said, "Yes, this is a backup plan that is not a backup plan."

Although Li Zhen was waiting for public pressure, he hoped that Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping could join forces to take action. These people could not put all the hope of bringing down Lai Junchen on themselves, but they stood by and watched.

Li Zhen asked again with a smile: "Does Princess Taiping have no idea?"

Gao Jian shook his head, "I really don't know very well. Although this time Lai Junchen wanted to deal with Li Dan, Princess Taiping was really dissatisfied, but the woman's thoughts were also elusive. I don't know what she was thinking, but... I can give it a try and persuade her to help Commander Li with one arm."

"Thank you then"

Gao Jian drank two more glasses of wine and hurriedly said goodbye. Gao Jian had just left, and Jiuzhi, who had been waiting outside, rushed in impatiently, "This guy is finally gone. Lao Li, I have something urgent to report."

"Don't worry, sit down and talk." Li Zhen smiled and asked Jiuzhi to sit down, and asked the bartender to change him a pair of chopsticks.

"I heard you have been engaged. When will you invite us to have a wedding?"

"This...it will be decided until my father comes."

Jiu Zhi scratched his head and said anxiously: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I have important information."

"What important information do you want to tell me?" Li Zhen said with a smile calmly.

Jiuzhi immediately said with a smile: "That's right, the brothers who were monitoring Wu Sansi's house just now returned. Lai Junchen visited Wu Sansi and went in for about half an hour. Then Wu Jizhi sent Lai Junchen out. Lai Junchen looked full of sorrow and had no joy at all. He probably had a nail."

"What then?" Li Zhen asked after interrupting him.

"And then. Just now, Wu Jizhi led Liu Guangye into the Liang Palace."

This news was beyond Li Zhen's expectations. Liu Guangye actually entered the Liang Prince's Mansion. Li Zhen knew that Liu Guangye was also one of the cruel officials and was Lai Junchen's hardcore confidant, but such a hardcore confidant actually wanted to change to Wu Sansi's subordinate.

It seems that Wu Sansi not only dealt with Lai Junchen for the sake of promise, but also wanted to get a share of the pie when Lai Junchen was thrown away and let Liu Guangye replace Lai Junchen. This bastard is very calculating.

Li Zhen pondered for a moment, then asked the bartender to come and write a note, handed it to Jiuzhi, saying, "Gao Jian was here just now, I guess he should go to Princess Taiping's Mansion now. Try to catch up with him and give him this note."

"I see"

Jiuzhi took the note, drank the wine in the glass again, wiped his mouth, got up and ran away. Li Zhen drank two more glasses of wine, pondered for a moment, then got up and settled the tent, and left the wine shop.

After Li Jingye was defeated, in order to consolidate his rule and eliminate dissidents, Wu Zetian adopted the plan of the Yu Bao family, and ordered the use of copper to establish a whistleblower.

There are four mouths for this kind of treasury, and the east mouth is called Yan'en, and those who offer tuitions can be invested; while those who seek official positions can be recruited can be voted; those who talk about gains and losses of the government can be voted; those who talk about gains and losses of the government can be voted; those who have wronged can be voted; those who talk about celestial phenomena, disasters and secret strategies can be voted.

This kind of copper cup is similar to the post office post tube in later generations. It divides the capital and the states in the world. It uses the method of sorting to facilitate sorting and can quickly distinguish loyalty and report letters. It is a creative idea. It is just like a express delivery for those who are determined to flatter and want to seek official duties.

At that time, it was also stipulated: "If there is a whistleblower, the ministers shall not ask questions. They will all give Yima to provide food and food for fifth-rank officials. This is also a very generous treatment. After the copper treasure appeared, the informants of the world flocked to the ground, causing countless families to be destroyed, including Lai Junchen, who started his business as a whistleblower.

After Wu Ze settled down in the throne, she also knew that most of these rumor letters were false accusations, so she issued an order to remove the rumor letters from various places and only retained one next to the Tianjin Bridge in the capital. It was mainly used to collect talents from all over the world. Since this rumor letter was used less and less, the benefits of rumor letters were basically gone. The people of the Tang Dynasty gradually lost interest in it, and the number of rumor letters was gradually rare.

However, in the past few days, there have been many complaints, basically all suing the west entrance to seek justice. At noon, a long queue was lined up outside Tongtu, with hundreds of people. Originally, there were only two soldiers guarding Tongtu, but because there were too many people, the number of defenders increased to eight.

The complainants basically sued Lai Junchen. Over the years, Lai Junchen has created countless unjust cases, causing thousands of families to be destroyed. However, because Lai Junchen is too powerful and is in charge of Tongpu, no one dares to sue him.

Now that Lai Junchen has been demoted, countless people have seen hope and rushed to Tongtu to submit a letter. In just three days, Tongtu has opened three times and has taken away thousands of letters of complaint.
