Emperor Wei brought his actions into his eyes, and his eyes showed a faint chill.

"Oh? I have seen the guards under Taichangqing's hands several times. This Changgu is considered a more loyal and brave one. When an accident happened in the suburbs of Beijing that day, how could he not protect Deng Ling, but instead hide in the mountains and forests?" Emperor Wei questioned softly.

Deng Guozhong listened and immediately grabbed the words in his words, walked up and bowed, "Your Majesty is right! Changgu is the guard selected by the old minister himself for Aling, the most loyal and brave. If Aling encounters danger, he will never sit idly by! I wonder if the person captured by Lord Chang is Changgu? You must be cautious in this kind of thing, don't make the wrong person..."

Chang Yu sneered: "Is it Taichangqing's guard Changgu? Taiwei Deng took a look at the bento himself?!"

Deng Guozhong pursed his lips slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the witness is waiting outside the hall. I hope you can summon it!" Chang Yu said solemnly with his chest straightened and straightened his back.

Emperor Wei thought about it for a while, nodded and replied: "It's accurate."

Chang Yu immediately turned around and looked at Cui Qian, and his hands were still bowing respectfully.

Before Cui Qian looked up, he noticed his gaze, so he bowed slightly in his direction and took a small step toward the outsider quickly.

But for a moment, a heavy and dragging footsteps came from outside the hall.

The ministers looked back and saw a young man limping towards them in a clean and tidy linen coat. The man was sick and looked listless. He staggered forward a few steps, and led by Cui Qian to the ninth level.

He seemed very weak. When he bowed to Emperor Wei, he leaned on the ground weakly and couldn't get up for a long time.

Chang Yu stepped forward, helped him up in person, looked at Deng Guozhong mockingly, and deliberately coughed his throat, and asked in a loud voice: "Taiwei Deng, since Changgu is the guard you personally selected for Taichangqing. I believe you should be very familiar with him, right? This face, this person, no matter how alone one in our palace, it is impossible to pretend to be a disguise. Do you still have to question this?"

Deng Guozhong raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "General Chang may not know. There is a secret technique in this world that can make anyone in the world with a leather mask. As far as I know, there are many people in the world who have such clever and superb skills among the gangs in the world. It is not certain whether the people in front of him are long! General Chang might as well prove his identity first and then ask me?"

Chang Yu was almost about to be angry with him, his lips twitched, and he suppressed the disgust in his heart and said restraintly: "Taiwei Deng can really make a promise to defend anything? Who is involved in the Jianghu gang except the Jiangzhusi? Isn't your meaning clearly hinting at Your Majesty that the guard of Taichangqing in the hall may have changed his appearance by the people in the Water Pavilion and deliberately sent it to our mansion?"

Deng Guozhong snorted and said lightly: "It may not be impossible."

Seeing that he struggled so hard, Chang Yu stretched out his hand to Changgu beside him and twisted it hard on the face of the man. Changgu screamed, covering his cheeks that were twisted out of a light blue-white, so painful that he could not help himself. He murmured to Deng Guozhong: "Master Taiwei. It's me. I am really Changgu."

Deng Guozhong's pupils shrank slightly, and he still looked very calm on the surface, but his emotions gradually became unstoppable.

"Taiwei Deng, now, do you believe that he is Taichangqing's guard?" Chang Yu raised his chin and said coldly to him.

Deng Guozhong's expression on his face was a little uneasy. He stood on one side and stopped talking to each other.

Chang Yu glanced at him disdainfully, turned to the Emperor of Wei and said, "Your Majesty, Changgu was seriously injured and has not healed yet. Because he injured his legs, he may not be able to stand for too long. I wonder... Can you ask Your Majesty to give him a seat?"

Changgu stood beside Chang Yu, his legs and feet trembled constantly. If someone hadn't helped him, he would have fallen to the ground in the next second. Seeing that he was like this, Emperor Wei responded to Chang Yu's request and whispered: "Well, let's do what you said. Cui Qian will give him a seat."

"Here."

After Cui Qian answered, he invited someone to set up a seat in the corner on the right side of the South Hall. Hagu was helped by two eunuchs and sat there.

Emperor Wei then began to ask, "Chang Yu, I have done everything according to your wishes. Now, you should tell me, what's going on with this person?"

Chang Yu bowed his fist and said, "Report to Your Majesty, what Your Majesty asked just now, how could Chuangu Tadaemon hide in the mountains and forests and watch his master besieged by the robbers and not go to rescue him? In fact, he had a last resort. Before Taichangqing died, Chuangu was beaten with several sticks and sticks because of a mistake.

At that time, he was beaten to the point of being blue and purple, his legs were seriously injured, and his blood was flowing continuously. Therefore, when Taichangqing was in danger, he hid him between the caves on the mountain to avoid the bandits' discovery, so that he could save his life. It was precisely because of this that Changgu was able to witness the entire process of the incident at that time."

Emperor Wei glanced at Hagu silently, then cleared his throat and asked, "So... he knew clearly who killed Deng Ling?"

Chang Yu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."

"Since that's the case, let me question it in the court, and let me open my eyes and see... What kind of bloody scene is this accident that shocked the court and the country?" Emperor Wei said slackly and lazily with his right arm.

Chang Yu paused his head and said: "I received the order."

He stepped forward two steps, stood beside Haguchi and said, "Today, above the South Palace, you need to answer honestly and not hide anything from me. Otherwise, it will be the end of five horses dismembering themselves and not dying well. Do you understand?"

Haguchi leaned weakly, looked at him with unconscious eyes, nodded tiredly and said, "Caomin understands."

Chang Yu straightened his collar, stared at him, and said very seriously: "I will ask you. Why did Taichangqing pass through the high mountain Lingfeng that day?"

Hagu's face was extremely bad and he said in a soft voice: "That day, Taichangqing went to Pingcun in order to handle some private matters, but suddenly encountered a group of people pretending to be Zhanpo bandits attacking the village. Taichangqing had no time to retreat, so he could only escape from the secret passage in the back mountain, and then passed by Lingfeng."

"Do you know what happened to Lord Taichangqing rushing to Pingcun?"

Haguchi glanced at him deeply, lowered his head, and kept silent.

Chang Yu frowned and emphasized loudly: "Chagu, even if you don't tell me, these adults in the palace can investigate the facts of the incident clearly. I will advise you to give it honestly."

Changgu took a deep breath of fresh air, slowly raised his head, and said firmly: "General Chang... Caomin is just an irrelevant guard. How could he know what the Grandpa Taichangqing went to Pingcun? Caomin didn't know... I hope General should not make things difficult for him..."

The expression on Chang Yu's face froze, and then he asked a few more questions, such as: Why did Taichangqing punish you? What mistakes did you make? Why did the upper and lower parts of Hiramura tighten the door that day?

But Haguchi didn't answer a single answer, closed his mouth tightly, and no matter how he asked, he didn't say a word.

Chang Yu originally wanted to ask Deng Ling's real purpose for going to Ping Village from him, so that everyone present could listen to the facts, and then mention the attack of the Lingyi team again and clarify the context. Unexpectedly, Chang Yu did not cooperate as privately. There was a reason why Deng Ling was in Ping Village, so he changed his words and said he didn't know, which made Chang Yu a little depressed.

Seeing this scene, Deng Guozhong relaxed a little, and sneered sarcastically: "General Chang. It seems... the reality is not as you wish? How can you force Chang to frame my son and grandson?"

Yue Luo quietly came to Chang Yu, pressed his arm and said in a voice: "Chang Yu, don't ask Deng Ling again, so as not to keep this boy from talking about Deng's love."

Chang Yu nodded helplessly, then turned his mind and asked Haguchi: "I will appreciate your loyalty to the former master. Since you are unwilling to answer these questions, I will no longer continue to ask. However, you must tell everyone in this palace in detail and in full."

Haguchi then moved and replied, "Caomin, I will definitely know everything about this."

"Okay, since that's the case, let's tell Your Majesty and even the several lords in the palace. What was the situation when Taichangqing was in danger that day?!"

After the words were finished, Changgu slowly lowered his head, showing a sad expression, and smiled bitterly, telling the truth about what he saw that day: "Caomin was seriously injured because of punishment. Therefore, Lord Taichangqing led the guards to flee from Pingcun in a panic. After entering the back mountain, considering the injuries of Caomin, he had to throw Caomin into a stone cave between the wild forest. The cave happened to face a cliff, facing the gully between Lingfeng and the neighboring mountain, which could bring the scene between the mountains into his eyes. Caomin was there, and saw with his own eyes the bandits pretending to be Zhanpo soldiers and launched a fierce attack on Taichangqing and his group."

"Why did you know that those bandits were not Zhan Po soldiers, but others pretending to be disguised?"

Changgu gritted his teeth and said, "Because... the Cao people saw that the military shoes they wore were not owned by Zhan Po, but the iron shoes specially made on the northern border of the Great Wei."

Hearing this sentence, Deng Guozhong couldn't help but widen his eyes. He didn't know whether his expression was surprised or disappointed, but staring at the direction of Changgu, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.

Chang Yu did not stop asking, and he continued, "So, do you guess these bandits were disguised by soldiers from the northern part of the Great Wei?"

Hangu leaned on the back of the chair of the couch, licked his dry and bitter lips, and shook his head tiredly: "It's not guessing. It's certain. Because, opposite the cave is the hillside of the neighboring mountain. The grass-crown people clearly saw that Deng Qing, the general who commanded the northern land, was standing on the high slope, leaning over to watch the robbers under the hillside attacking Lord Taichangqing."

"What...what?" Deng Guozhong subconsciously asked a question, attracting the attention of all the ministers.

Chang Yu looked at him, a trace of deepness appeared in his eyes. Deng Guozhong grabbed the palm of his hand, stared at Changgu regardless of the eyes of everyone, and his face gradually turned blue.

Yue Luo turned his head and followed Chang Yu's questioning and continued: "Did you see Deng Qing with your own eyes on the hillside?"

"He wore a veil, and Caomin couldn't see clearly the appearance of the leader at first. However, the wind in the mountains was strong and the veil was floating, and Caomin saw his appearance clearly." Changgu insisted: "Camin will never forget that face, it was Taichangqing's nephew, Deng Qing.

A young general wearing iron armor and robes stood beside him. Two other men and women in strange clothes were on his side, with a companion around him. During the rebellion in the capital, Caomin was fortunate to go to war with Taichangqing. The Chapo soldiers in the city had a confrontation with him and happened to meet this man and a woman. At that time, it was them who led the Chapo soldiers to make a big fuss in Kyoto. Therefore, Caomin remembered it very clearly.

Cao Min originally thought that Deng Qing went to rescue Lord Taichangqing, but when the situation at the foot of the mountain was the most tense and dangerous, Deng Qing actually pulled up the long bow in his hand and aimed at the scarred and weak Taichangqing at the foot of the mountain. Cao Min saw with his own eyes that the feather arrow shot through Taichangqing's body... The scene was extremely bloody and terrifying. Cao Min... Cao Min couldn't suppress it and was heartbroken. If Cao Min had not angered Lord Taichangqing, he would not have suffered such severe injuries.
