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

Chapter 128 It will be difficult to enter the Eastern Palace unless Su Chen is eliminated!
"Be careful not to damage the goods in the box."

These things are all to be sent to Suzhou City.

The journey is long, and it would be terrible if the goods in the box were accidentally damaged.

Boxes of goods were lifted onto the carriage, stacked neatly, then covered with tarpaulin and tied with ropes.

Xue Li brought hundreds of members of the merchant escort team to guard each carriage.

"Brother Xue, the young master is here."

Xue Li looked over and stepped forward quickly, "Greetings, sir."

Su Chen nodded and glanced at the busy people and the loaded carriage.

With these things, Jin Yong's grocery store will be able to expand much faster. Moreover, with the help of Jin Yao and the other two, it will be very convenient to make things.

"how long will it take?"

"It will take at most one stick of incense before we can set off."

"Um……"

Su Chen took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xue Li, "When you get to Suzhou, give this letter to Jin Yong. He knows what to do."

"Yes."

Xue Li took the letter respectfully and put it in his arms.

"You will lead the caravan to escort these things to Suzhou City. You will be responsible for their safety."

Su Chen looked at the energetic members of the merchant protection team, smiled and patted Xue Li on the shoulder, "This is your first mission, I hope nothing goes wrong."

Xue Li nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, sir. I guarantee that no goods will be damaged."

"Master, son..."

At this time.

Wang Xuance ran over in a hurry, "Liu Li is dead."

"Ok?"

Sun Qiang's eyes widened, "Why did he die suddenly?"

"I do not know."

Wang Xuance shook his head. "Some people say he committed suicide out of fear of punishment, and some say he died to make his will clear. I heard he was shouting something in the mansion before he died. It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone."

Sun Qiang: “???”

"Suicide?"

"Why did he commit suicide?!"

Wang Xuance frowned and asked, "Did he commit suicide? Why are you so excited?"

"What should I do if he commits suicide?"

Sun Qiang felt unwell.

Wang Xuance looked at Sun Qiang with increasing surprise, and then he heard Su Chen say, "Don't worry about him, he's going crazy."

Wang Xuance nodded.

Su Chen asked, "When Liu Li died, was it Lu Chengqing who went to Liu's mansion to deal with him, or was it Sun Fujia from the Dali Temple who dealt with him?"

"They both went."

Wang Xuance: "After hearing the news that Liu Li had died, the two of them rushed to Liu's residence immediately."

"Afterwards, the two of them went to the palace to meet the emperor without stopping."

"It is said that Liu Li left a suicide note before his death, but no one knows what was written in the letter."

A suicide note?

Su Chen knocked on his folding fan. Interesting. Does he still want to disgust people even after his death?
But it doesn’t matter.

His goal has been achieved.

Su Wang came over and said, "Sir, everything is ready."

Su Chen nodded and turned his gaze to Xue Li who was eating melons, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

Xue Li responded, and immediately waved his hand, and set off with everyone in the horse-drawn carriage, carrying a lot of goods.

Su Chen tapped Sun Qiang's head with the folding fan in his hand, "Wake up, it's time to get down to business."

Sun Qiang had a sad face, "Master, I'll sell it to you..."

"...?"

Wang Xuance looked at Sun Qiang with a strange expression, "Sir, what's wrong with this guy?"

Su Chen had no choice but to repeat Sun Qiang's previous confident speech.

Wang Xuance was immediately amused, "With your level, you still want to gamble with the young master?"

Sun Qiang: "So I regret it."

Wang Xuance: "There is no regret medicine for that."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look at your side." Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Please, sir."

……

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Du Chuke brought the news that Liu Li had committed suicide.

Li Tai was not surprised that Liu Li committed suicide.

but.

"Chen Qingjiyun has been beheaded by Sun Fujia."

Du Chuke's face was serious. "After Sun Fujia left the palace and returned to the Dali Temple, he directly killed the two of them."

The calmness on Li Tai's face faded a little, "You mean, this is a warning from my father?"

Du Chuke shook his head. "I think that His Majesty doesn't want to continue to dwell on Liu Li's affairs."

As long as the witness dies, Liu Li’s case will naturally come to nothing.

Li Tai pondered: "Then what do you think Liu Li wrote in his suicide note?"

Du Chuke: "I don't know, but at present, the contents of this suicide note have made His Majesty very angry."

"Why?"

"Your Majesty has ordered a strict investigation of those who privately sell bows and crossbows. No one involved will be spared."

Li Tai seemed to be thinking about something.

Not investigating the identity of the assassin, does this mean we have tacitly acknowledged the matter and that’s the end of it?

"Have you figured out who is behind this?"

"According to the news from Suzhou, before Chen Qing and the others arrived in Suzhou, someone went to the grocery store in advance."

"Grocery store?"

"Jin Yong's grocery store."

Du Chuke: "That man's name is Lu Fei, and he's one of Su Chen's men!"

Li Tai's eyes turned cold. What a coincidence, Su Chen sent people to Suzhou!
and so.

"Was Liu Zengshou's death arranged by Su Chen?"

"It should be him."

Du Chuke said in a deep voice, "When the incident happened, the prince was in Suzhou City."

"If the prince orders someone to take action, he can just draw people from the guards. There is no need to notify Su Chen."

Su Chen arranged for someone to bypass Li Chengqian and poison Liu Zengshou?

Li Tai frowned, "Is Su Chen so capable? Did the prince give him such great power?"

Du Chuke said softly: "The members of the merchant protection team recruited by Su Chen are all strong and powerful."

"If they were in the army, they would be good fighters, especially the team leaders Wang Xuance and Xue Li!"

"According to Randy, the biggest reason why Roshan was able to send the goods back to Persia was because he had the support of Su Chen."

"At that time, I was wondering how Randy, who had a lot of power in his hands, could be defeated in an instant. Now it seems that the people who killed Randy's men must have been Wang Xuance and his men."

"In addition to Wang Xuance and Xue Li, there are some outstanding people in the merchant protection team. Their personal bravery should not be underestimated!"

Li Tai looked at Du Chuke in disbelief.

He only dared to secretly win people's hearts and train his loyal followers.

Su Chen actually openly built up his own power under the emperor's feet and built it into a merchant protection team?
Isn't he afraid of being discovered?
wrong!

Li Tai frowned and said, "I remember that Lu Chengqing was ordered to investigate this matter thoroughly..."

Du Chuke: "In the end, nothing came of it!"

Duo duo.

Li Tai knocked on the table, with a playful look on his face, "It seems that Su Chen has a lot of things in his hands."

Du Chuke nodded heavily, "If this boy is not eliminated, it will be difficult to enter the Eastern Palace."

"Do you have any idea?"

"Since he wants to act as a businessman, why not destroy him as a businessman!"

Du Chuke smiled grimly, "Your Highness may not know that Su Chen's business is growing bigger and bigger. Recently, it was even reported that he wanted to make ice cubes in the hot summer to benefit the people of the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Tai: “Are you kidding?”

At this time of year, even the ice in the cellar is melting. How can we make ice under the scorching sun?

Du Chuke: "If it's fake, his reputation will naturally plummet and his business will be affected. If it's true..."

"What should I do?"

"Then let's take advantage of his situation and give him a big gift!"
