Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 120 Won’t This Make Tomorrow’s Headlines?
Li Shimin's words made Liu Li feel disappointed.

In Li Shimin's heart, he was not as important as a newly emerging newspaper!

Gao Shilian smiled and comforted him: "Master Liu, you can think about the positive side."

Liu Li frowned and looked over.

Gao Shilian said again: "Although the people of Chang'an City now have some misunderstandings about you because of the article in the newspaper, this is only temporary after all!"

"Once the officials of the Dali Temple have thoroughly investigated the relationship between you and Liu Zengshou and cleared your name, Lord Liu's reputation will surely spread throughout Chang'an City."

"Moreover, your majesty has spoken the truth. We should post notices and submit articles to newspapers to prove Mr. Liu's innocence!"

"Not everyone has the opportunity to have such an honor."

Liu Li's hands, which were hanging low in his sleeves, clenched quietly.

Gao Shilian said it very well, but the premise of all this is that there is no relationship between him and Liu Zengshou!
Once the people from the Dali Temple find out the relationship between him and Liu Zengshou, will Your Majesty still be willing to clear his name?
Was he still innocent at that time?
No.

As long as the officials of the Dali Temple can prove that he had contact with Liu Zengshou and received things from Liu Zengshou, then he will be dead!
Zhang Sun Wuji smiled and said, "Duke Shen is right."

"Lord Liu, if I were you, I would be sitting peacefully in the mansion enjoying the rare leisure time."

"..."

Ha ha.

Thank you!

Liu Li sneered in his heart.

Changsun Wuji and others were obviously there to watch the fun and were not afraid of getting involved.

The rotten eggs didn't fall on them, but on their houses!
If rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were thrown at them or into their houses, do you think they would still be so calm and composed?

Liu Li turned his gaze to Li Shimin, and seeing Li Shimin's indifferent expression, Liu Li knew that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

Liu Li bowed and left the imperial study.

Walk out of the palace.

Liu Li's face turned a little cold. Looking at Yuchi Gong who was approaching him, Liu Li got into the carriage and left without saying a word.

"strangeness……"

Yuchi Gong scratched his head. What the hell is Liu Li doing?

First he changed into court clothes outside the palace gate, then he left in a car with a gloomy face, leaving a foul smell behind...

Could it be that he had contracted some dirty disease?
"Are those people still there?"

"My Lord, I didn't see those people."

"Well, go back home."

Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that when he returned home, a group of people would show up again, holding rotten eggs and throwing them at him.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate. As Liu Li got off, he heard exclamations.

"Master, be careful!"

The rotten egg whistled towards him and kissed Liu Li's forehead the moment he turned his head.

During the brief pain, a pungent, sour, and black and yellow juice flowed down from his forehead.

"what……"

Liu Li is going crazy!
These damn bastards!
"Come here, come here, capture them all for me!"

Wow.

It would have been better if Liu Li didn't say it. As soon as he said it, countless rotten eggs fell on his position without any cost.

"Hurry up, protect the master."

Bang bang bang.

Eggs kept breaking and a sour smell spread in front of the gate.

If the servants in the mansion had not been quick-witted and rushed out with oil-paper umbrellas and stood in front of Liu Li, all the rotten eggs that fell would have been enough for him to wash away.

"Catch them!"

Liu Li gritted his teeth and angrily wiped the rotten eggs off his face, "Catch one and beat one!"

"Yes!"

A group of servants rushed out, each holding a stick, and scared the people so much that they fled in panic.

Such an interesting scene was quickly recorded.

then.

It was resold to Tianxia Newspaper.

"Shopkeeper Xu, someone just came to sell paintings."

Zhou Tao came to Xu Qizhuang with some papers.

Although he was a little older than Xu Qizhuang, he was still somewhat surprised by Xu Qizhuang's wild imagination in newspaper making.

He doesn't feel like a young boy, nor like a newcomer, but rather a very experienced one.

"What painting?"

Xu Qizhuang raised his hand to take the painting, spread it out, and then widened his eyes.

The contents on the pieces of paper could be connected to form a scene, which was Liu Li being hit in the face with an egg outside the government gate and ordering people to arrest the people. Seeing this scene, Xu Qizhuang was immediately happy.

Brother Su said that he had to be cautious and wait for news from the palace, but who knew that Liu Li would dare to do such a funny thing.

Won't this be on tomorrow's headlines?
"Tell someone to scale down this picture and put it in tomorrow's newspaper."

"This……"

Zhou Tao said softly, "It's not very suitable, right?"

Xu Qizhuang: "What he can do, I can't write?"

Thoughtful: “…Okay!”

After Zhou Tao left, Xu Qizhuang lowered his head and took a look at the article he had written.

Liu Zengshou and Liu Li, a secret that must be told!

It seems a little bit off.

Xu Qizhuang scratched his head after pondering for a while, crumpled up the written article and threw it into the trash can.

Then he wrote on a piece of rice paper, "Death of Liu Zengshou".

……

Dali Temple.

Sun Fujia stretched lazily and picked up the teacup.

Listening to the whispers of colleagues, Liu Li's name would pop up from time to time.

Sun Fujia smiled indifferently. These days, the most famous newspaper in Chang'an City is Tianxia Newspaper.

The popularity of Tianxia Newspaper also made Liu Li, who was written about in the article, a topic of conversation.

Many officials in the Dali Temple expressed sympathy for Liu Li.

After all, Liu Li was the first official to appear in newspapers throughout the world, and his image was negative.

This is not a good thing for a civil servant.

"Your Excellency, Qiao Sizhi is back."

Hear the words.

Many officials looked over here.

Sun Fujia sat upright and said, "Tell him to come in."

After a moment, Qiao Mengzhuo and Li Tian walked in together.

"I am Qiao Mengzhuo and Li Tian, ​​your Excellency."

"How is the investigation going on with Liu Zengshou's case in Suzhou?"

After Qiao Mengzhuo and the other person looked at each other, they both fell silent.

Sun Fujia frowned, glanced at the other officials, and said, "You go out first."

"Yes."

The officials got up and left reluctantly.

"Can we talk now?"

"Your Excellency, Liu Zengshou is dead!"

"Ok?"

Sun Fujia's face changed, "Why did he die?"

Qiao Mengzhuo: "On the day we arrived in Suzhou, Liu Zengshou was poisoned to death in his study!"

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, the Governor of Suzhou and others were all present, and they arranged for a coroner to perform an autopsy, confirming that Liu Zengshou died on the night of the seventh day."

Sun Fujia had a blank expression on his face: "The night before you arrived in Suzhou City, you were poisoned to death at home?"

Qiao Mengzhuo: “Yes.”

"According to Madam Liu, before Liu Zengshou died, he told her that Liu Li's people had gone to look for Liu Zengshou, and Liu Zengshou was worried about the safety of his relatives, so he asked her to take her son to the countryside to avoid the limelight the next morning."

"The next morning, when Madam Liu and her son were preparing to say goodbye to him, they found Liu Zengshou dead in the study."

Sun Fujia: "Liu Li's people?"

Qiao Mengzhuo: "Yes, that's what Madam Liu said. The two men were named Chen Qing and Ji Yun. They claimed to be businessmen from Henan Prefecture. They arrived in Suzhou the night before us with Henan Prefecture's pass and met Liu Zengshou that night."

Duo duo.

Sun Fujia pounded the table, his heart filled with turmoil.

This is too much of a coincidence.

As soon as Qiao Mengzhuo and the others arrived in Suzhou City, Liu Zengshou was poisoned to death at home...

Did someone deliberately kill someone to silence them?!

"Where are Chen Qing and the other two?"

"The two of them are being supervised by the Wuwei General Li Junxian. They are on their way to Chang'an City with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and others. They will arrive in Chang'an City as early as tomorrow morning."

This matter involves too many things, and the Suzhou governor is not in a position to intervene, so does he just throw the problem to the prince?

Sun Fujia pondered and decided to arrive in Chang'an early tomorrow morning!
"You two should immediately record down all the details of this incident, and tomorrow morning, follow me to the palace to see the emperor!"
