Seeing what Duan Guan said in detail, Qin Huaidao couldn't help but light up his face while taking notes. The detection of this case can be regarded as a great achievement!
Holding the recorded confession, Li Junxian looked at Yang Fan with some doubts: "How do you know it is you they want to deal with and not His Highness King Wu?"
Yang Fan said casually: "It's very simple. The army is returning to the court. His Highness King Wu originally accompanied the army. The reason why he and I rushed to Chang'an was just an accident."
Of course, it was impossible for Yang Fan to tell all the facts. After all, the captured Ezo leader was still of great use to him, and it was impossible to expose the intelligence capabilities of Plum Blossom Guard.
Seeing that Yang Fan did not ask any more questions, Duan Guan asked cautiously: "Marquis Zhongyi, I have told everything I know. The adults do not remember the faults of the villains. Can you spare me this time?"
"Also, after you catch Cui Yongjian, can you not say that I was the one who turned the secret? Once Cui of Qinghe finds out, he must not hate my Duan family to death."
Yang Fan was really speechless!
Is this guy too naive?
Do you really think that you can escape disaster without pursuing him? Do you really think that the Duan and Cui families can still get along happily?
If His Majesty Li Er did not punish him severely, wouldn't assassinations become commonplace in the future, and the Tang Dynasty would still be in chaos.
What's more, Yang Fan would not be polite to those who wanted to kill him.
Although the modern world view prevents him from killing innocent people indiscriminately, he also won't be a bad person.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan rolled his eyes and said ambiguously: "Of course I don't need to pursue the case, but you have made such a big mistake. If you don't have great merit, you will definitely not be able to escape punishment. Think about it for yourself..."
For a moment, Duan Guan fell into a dilemma.
Out of fear, Duan Guan finally gritted his teeth and said: "After catching the main culprit, please ask Marquis Zhongyi to say a few kind words to His Majesty, and I will definitely cooperate!"
If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Yang Fan chuckled: "As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. The only one who can save you is yourself, so sign and pledge it!"
All the procedures were in place and it was already daybreak.
"Master Marquis, general, are you going to order Baiqi to arrest people immediately?" Qin Huaidao asked excitedly.
"You can just go, I won't join in the fun." Yang Fan yawned and waved his hand proudly.
Li Junxian, on the other hand, coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, brother, don't do it! How can I take all the credit? Let's go together? Or we can ask His Majesty first."
Yang Fan was really speechless, this old man is really good...but he didn't think much and nodded: "Let's go together then!"
Catching Cui Yongjian is just a matter of raising your hand.
After hearing Li Junxian's words, Qin Huaidao didn't know what he thought of. Instead, he lost the excitement just now and seemed hesitant to speak.
As soon as Yang Fan walked out of the execution room, a soldier of the Hundred Cavalry hurried in and reported: "The Duke Bao Guo took the imperial edict and led a group of people to forcefully break in. My subordinates did not dare to stop him."
Before he finished speaking, Duan Zhixuan's tall figure appeared at the door, followed by several soldiers.
As soon as he saw Yang Fan, Duan Zhixuan held up the imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an edict. If my son is guilty, he can be brought into the palace to explain to His Majesty. Baiqi cannot abuse lynching, otherwise he will be severely punished!"
"No!" Of course Li Junxian didn't dare to object, after all, the other party had the Holy Purpose at his disposal.
But Yang Fan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this old boy was really good at getting the imperial edict so quickly.
But now that I have obtained the confession, it doesn’t matter whether I enter the palace or not, so I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Haha, I think it is not necessary to enter the palace to explain to His Majesty!"
Duan Zhixuan was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
Yang Fan chuckled and said teasingly: "Young master has already been recruited, why are you still going to the trouble?"
Duan Zhixuan's expression changed drastically.
How long did it take!
In less than two hours, his son confessed?
Needless to say, to make his son confess so quickly, he must have been subjected to a cruel punishment. The son must have been unable to withstand it...
Thinking of this, Duan Zhixuan was so anxious that he pushed Yang Fan away and walked into the execution room.
As soon as he entered the execution room and took a look, Duan Zhixuan became furious!
At this time, Duan Guan's eyes were covered with a piece of cloth, his lower body was naked, and his legs were tied tightly to a stool. Filthy things were flowing everywhere under him and on the ground, and his face was full of snot and tears. Paint.
Duan Zhixuan felt chilled. Is this his son?
Duan's family is very small, and each of his sons, Duan Zhixuan, is regarded as a precious pimple. Now that he sees his son in this state, how can he not feel heartbroken?
I saw Duan Zhixuan gritting his teeth and sitting back, the muscles in his cheeks trembling, staring at Yang Fan, and shouted hatefully: "You are simply bullying others! Even if the dog is guilty, His Majesty will deal with it. How dare you set up a private court to abuse it?" Lynching? It’s simply outrageous.”
Duan Guan, who was originally uneasy, suddenly heard his father's voice. He was like the dawn of dawn and shouted with joy: "Father, save me..."
Duan Guan's scream sounded to Duan Zhixuan's ears as if someone had cut his heart with a knife.
Although this son is a little impetuous and vain, my father loves Yao'er!
The most important thing is that this son's arm was cut off by Yang Fan last time. If there is another injury, will he be considered useless in this life?
Looking at this miserable image, I don’t know how much torture was used in these two hours.
Duan Zhixuan was so distressed that he almost twitched.
A pair of clear eyes glared at Yang Fan fiercely, like a lion protecting its cub, wanting to tear the enemy in front of him into pieces.
Since he dared to arrest people, how could Yang Fan be intimidated by Duan Zhixuan's momentum? He said leisurely:
"General, although you are the founding father of the country, but you are making things up out of thin air and framing the blame, please be careful and I will file a complaint."
"According to your majesty's request, I assist Baiqisi in investigating this case. I have the right to call anyone who is suspected for questioning. Not to mention your son, even you, the general, if you dare to disobey, I can kill him first and then report him!"
"Young Master is timid and cowardly. We didn't use any punishment. He was so frightened that he lost his mind and confessed everything directly. He frightened himself and was so frightened that he became incontinent. What does it have to do with us?"
At this point, Yang Fan said with a half-smile: "Although there is currently no evidence that the general is involved, the crime of harboring cannot be escaped."
"In addition, Mr. Ling has already revealed Cui Yongjian's hiding place? I really hope that his words will not implicate the general. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
"If it really involves Duke Bao, you'd better prepare your words quickly and explain it to His Majesty... Haha!"
Duan Zhixuan was stunned when Yang Fan counterattacked an entire army like a machine gun!
Even if your boy accepts His Majesty's decree, isn't this too arrogant?
You must know that he is a prince, several levels older than this boy!
But when he heard the end, Duan Zhixuan was completely dumbfounded.
Did his son reveal Cui Yongjian's hiding place?
What does this mean?
Didn’t Cui Yongjian return to his ancestral home, Qinghe?
Is there something I don't know about?
What's more, if Mrs. Cui knew that it was her son who reported the secret, it didn't take a second thought to know that the Duan family would definitely suffer revenge from Mrs. Cui.
This time it’s not just shit, it’s shit!
My son is too disappointed!
Under Yang Fan's teasing eyes, Duan Zhixuan felt cold in his heart. He turned to Duan Guan and said angrily: "You beast, you dare to talk nonsense, why don't you die? Tell me honestly, where is Cui Yongjian? You might as well ask your majesty for help."
As he spoke, Duan Zhixuan flew into a rage. He could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He flew up to Duan Guan and kicked him fiercely, knocking him down to the ground along with the chair.
Duan Zhixuan is scared!
He didn't know how much his son had said.
But no matter what, as long as Yang Fan continues to investigate, once he is found, it is possible to kill the Nine Clan...
When Duan Guan heard that his father was coming, he suddenly felt a strong desire to survive!
He didn't want to stay in this damn place for a second!
He didn't even dare to take a look at these devils, and he made up his mind to stay away from these guys for the rest of his life.
But I didn't expect Yang Fan to be so vicious that he would actually tell Duan Zhixuan.
Just now, in order to protect the beautiful things, Cui Yongjian was shaken out.
But he never thought that his father would be so angry. Although he couldn't see his appearance, he could detect something from his heavy breathing.
It seemed that he was so smart that he might be beaten to death by his father soon, so he quickly said: "In Tongfu Temple... Father, please..."
But before he finished speaking, he was kicked over by Duan Zhixuan.
Before he had time to beg for mercy, Duan Guan had already come into close contact with the filthy things on the ground, and his mouth could still taste the taste of the sticky lake.
Duan Zhixuan ignored him and kicked Duan Guan like crazy, with no intention of stopping.
He is really going crazy!
Yang Fan looked at this scene with a smile, and was even more sure that Duan Zhixuan was involved in this matter.
It's a pity that Duan Guan didn't know about it. It seems that he will have to pay more attention to this old boy in the future.
Seeing Duan Zhixuan's pretentious look, Li Junxian said coldly: "Master Bao, don't think that you can cover up your crimes by pretending to be a strict father and a son! You'd better ask that this matter has nothing to do with you. If not, huh..."
Hearing Li Junxian's words, Duan Zhixuan was stunned!
Now I really want to kick this son to death.
If Cui Yongjian was caught, the consequences would be disastrous. Only then did Duan Zhixuan realize that something was wrong!
Fortunately, I didn't tell my son the full plan at the beginning, otherwise...
Duan Zhixuan was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat!
Yang Fan, this treacherous boy, is so insidious that he seems to want to catch them all.
Regardless of rescuing Duan Guan, Duan Zhixuan looked at Yang Fan coldly and said: "Since the dog is involved in the assassination of a man, it is not convenient for me to intervene. Your Majesty will decide everything. Let me take my leave."
With that said, he turned around and left the torture chamber!
Yang Fan was startled, this old boy was really ruthless, he handled things neatly and never sloppily.
And Duan Guan was dumbfounded!
His father actually came with an imperial edict and refused to save him. Isn't this nonsense?
Just as he was about to open his mouth to ask for help, the dirty stuff flowed directly into his mouth, and he couldn't make any sound anymore.
This eye-catching scene made Li Junxian and Qin Huaidao retching.
…
Chang'an Xingdaofang!
Not only are there many East Turkic survivors here, but there are also many former Sui nobles, including the former emperor and queen Empress Xiao.
Speaking of Empress Xiao, it can be said that her reputation will last through the ages. She has been through six emperors, and every emperor has been extremely fond of her.
It can be seen from this that her appearance is the best in the world and her beauty is unparalleled. However, her life was wandering and miserable, which can be said to be both lucky and unfortunate.
At the same time, she is also a legendary woman who is gentle, intelligent, knowledgeable, courteous, proficient in medical skills, and knowledgeable about fortune telling.

In the fourth year of Zhenguan, after Li Jing defeated the Eastern Turks, Empress Xiao, who was in her sixties, was welcomed back to Chang'an and lived in Xingdaoli.
Since Empress Xiao had worshiped Buddhism since she was a child, Li Shimin built a Buddhist temple for her in Xingdaoli, named Tongfu Temple.
Because of the name Queen Xiao, Tongfu Temple has already gathered pilgrims seven or eight years ago, and it has become quite large.
A few days ago, Cui Yongjian went to his ancestral home Qinghe to take refuge under the arrangement of Cui Yongping.
But Cui Yongjian, who has long been accustomed to the prosperous life in Chang'an City, could not bear the desertion of his ancestral home.
What's more, he would still be under the supervision of the clan elders when he returned to Qinghe, so Cui Yongjian quietly returned to Chang'an halfway.
Of course, this is not because he is not afraid of death, but because of his pride.
On the one hand, he believed that there were no loopholes in the plan to transport the crossbows, so it was impossible to trace him.
On the other hand, it is pride in one's own origin.
I remember when His Majesty Li Er wanted to marry their Cui family, he was rejected without hesitation.
Even so, His Majesty Li Er has nothing to do with their Cui family.
So much so that Cui Yongjian got a little carried away!
He thought that even the emperor was nothing more than this, so he dared to sneak back to Chang'an secretly.
Because he was afraid that his brother Cui Yongping would find out, he could only donate a sum of money for incense to Tongfu Temple, and then lived in the side courtyard of Tongfu Temple where pilgrims were received.
After several days of suffering, Cui Yongjian's restless heart was ready to move again when he saw that Bai Qi was still as clueless as he suspected.
Last night, I quietly went to Piaoxiang Temple to spend the night with my old sweetheart, and returned to the temple at dawn.
When Cui Yongjian was trying to catch up on his sleep, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Is the young master back?"
After Cui Yongjian responded, a confidant ran in.
The confidant's face was sweating profusely and he seemed to be in a panic.
"Why are you so flustered?" Cui Yongjian scolded him unhappily, wrapped in a quilt.
The confidant didn't pay attention to Cui Yongjian's tone at all. He hurriedly closed the doors and windows and whispered: "Sir, Duan Erlang has been arrested!"
"Duan Guan was arrested? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Cui Yongjian was so shocked that he stopped even dozing off and asked several questions in succession.
He told Duan Guan, a cunning friend, about secretly returning to Chang'an.
Cui Yongjian would not dare to think about it if Duan Guan confessed it...
Did Baiqi find evidence?
Otherwise, how could you dare to arrest a prince's son?
Cui Yongjian felt a bone-chilling chill.
The confidant swallowed and quickly replied: "It is said that Duan Erlang was arrested at midnight last night. The young master went out last night. It is not easy to search for him in a big way, so I can only wait here."
"Young Master, you should leave the city and return to Qinghe as soon as possible. If Second Young Master Duan tells you where you are hiding, then..."
The confidant did not dare to continue talking, because he knew the result without saying it.
Once caught by Baiqi, even if the other party has no evidence, Cui Yongjian can shed a layer of skin, let alone Duan Guan.
Although Cui Yongjian was also scared, he still forced himself to calm down and think calmly, and after a long while he said: "We can't leave the city now. If Duan Guan confesses, we will inevitably fall into a trap when we go out."
"When His Majesty established Tongfu Temple, he gave an imperial order that this would be Empress Xiao's place of pure cultivation, and soldiers were not allowed to enter and disturb her peace."
"Even if Baiqi has clues, he won't dare to enter easily and conduct a search. It should be very safe here for the time being. You can go out and watch at the entrance of Fangjie. If there is any movement, send a signal quickly."
"No!" The confidant responded, then turned and left.
Suddenly, silence returned to the room, but this silence made people feel frightened.
Cui Yongjian was still sleepy, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and paced back and forth in the room.
Cui Yongjian was indeed a little panicked!
I thought to myself, why not go back to my eldest brother Cui Yongping's mansion and hide away?
Alas, if only he had been obedient and hid back in Qinghe, even His Majesty Li Er would have been helpless with him.
Qinghe belongs to the Cui family. I really regret that I ran back to Chang'an just for pleasure. I was too confident!
Just as Cui Yongjian was hesitating, there was a knock on the door.
This voice was so frightening that Cui Yongjian's heart almost slowed down for half a beat. He could only ask in an anxious voice: "Who are you looking for?"
"But Mr. Cui?" A very soft voice came.
