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

Chapter 176: This makes us sound like the good guys...

"it's over?"

Wang Xuance looked at the person who came, Lu Fei.

Lu Fei nodded, "Young Master, what you mean is that Lin Yunchen has already reported the case to the Ministry of Justice. There is no point in playing this game any further, so it is better to end it here."

The next time, the people who came to rescue Lin Changshou were no longer the death warriors from the Prince of Wei's Mansion, but officials from the Ministry of Justice.

They can't really kill all the officers photographed by the Ministry of Justice, right?
Isn’t that the same as Li Tai?
Wang Xuance looked back at the room behind him and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll go take care of it."

Since the matter is over, there is naturally no need for Lin Changshou to stay.

It's better for everyone if he dies.

inside the room.

Lin Changshou, who was blindfolded and gagged, seemed to have a premonition of something. He struggled hard and finally made a grunting sound.

Wang Xuance: "I'm sorry, your father doesn't care about your life, so I can only send you off."

After saying that, Wang Xuance took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into Lin Changshou's chest.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Lin Changshou struggled more and more, but was held down by Cao Yuan and the others. "It will be over soon."

呲la.

The dagger was twisted forcefully at the heart position before being pulled out.

Wang Xuance wiped the blood off the dagger, then put it away and said, "Bury him."

"Yes!"

Cao Yuan and his companions took out sacks and shovels, stuffed Lin Changshou's body into the sacks, and buried it in the garden in the backyard.

To ensure that no one would find out, they prepared some grave grass for Lin Changshou and spread it on the grave. After doing all this, the group left quickly.

Shangzhou is not far from Chang'an City, and it can be reached in half a day by riding at full speed.

"You go back to Prince Residence first. I'll go check out the ice shop."

Lu Fei nodded, turned and walked towards Taizi Residence to report the matter to Su Chen.

Wang Xuance took Cao Yuan and others and headed towards the ice shop.

I haven't been in the ice shop these days, and I miss the cool air inside.

"Commander, this is the car from the Prince of Wei's palace."

Wang Xuance looked ahead and saw a carriage with the logo of the Prince of Wei's Palace heading towards the Zongzheng Temple not far ahead.

Hey, are you going to Zongzheng Temple to recruit helpers?
Wang Xuance smiled. Once the events in Henan Prefecture were traced back to Li Tai, Li Tai would be condemned by thousands of people and would be infamous forever.

Even if they found the royal elders in the Zongzheng Temple for help, how could they dare to get involved in such a big trouble?
"gone."

Wang Xuance called out and everyone walked towards the ice bed.

Zongzheng Temple.

Du Chuke came to Li Shenfu with a smile on his face.

"Why is Lord Du here?"

"I am here to visit Lord Li on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei."

All of you don't regard the Zongzheng Temple as an official government office, right?

Li Shenfu immediately smiled, and his words were a little colder: "Master Du, this is the Zongzheng Temple."

Du Chuke smiled and nodded, "I understand. I'll leave after you put the things down."

As he spoke, Du Chuke took out a golden statue of Buddha that was one foot long.

After Li Shenfu glanced at the golden Buddha, he said with interest: "I was just talking casually, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Wei to take it seriously."

"How much does this golden statue of Buddha cost?"

Du Chuke: "Does your Excellency like it?"

Li Shenfu nodded. It was exquisitely crafted and made of pure gold. Who wouldn’t like it?
Du Chuke: "As long as you like it, it's good. As for the price, how can it compare to the kindness of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei?"

Li Shenfu stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "In that case, I will accept it."

"It should."

Du Chuke smiled and said, "I heard that Taoist Qin Ying and Taoist Wei Lingfu were invited by Lord Li?"

Li Shenfu: “That’s not the case.”

Du Chuke: "Master Li, please don't deceive me. I have a good personal relationship with them. If they haven't violated the law, please be lenient with them."

Li Shenfu: "They are really not here with me."

Du Chuke frowned. The golden statue of Buddha has been delivered, and you are still unwilling to give in?
Li Shenfu smiled and picked up the golden Buddha statue. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. "If Lord Du has nothing else to do, I will not entertain you."

Du Chuke stood up helplessly and said, "In that case, I'll take my leave."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

After Du Chuke left, Li Shenfu sneered and put down the golden Buddha in his hand.

Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu were, of course, in the Zongzheng Temple.

But the King of Wei alone was not enough to make him let Qin Ying and the other two go.

At this time.

An officer ran over in a hurry.

"What's the result of the interrogation of Zheng Yan?"

"Your Excellency is very smart. Qin Ying and Wei Lingfu have already confessed."

"very good!"

Li Shenfu stroked his beard and smiled, then stood up and walked outside, "Put away the golden statue of the Buddha..."

"Well, forget it. Put it together with the things that King Wei sent before."

"Yes."

Inside the prison.

Zheng Yan looked at the prepared transcript with an expressionless face.

The interrogation did yield some results, but what was revealed was earth-shattering!

If this matter were to get out, I'm afraid the entire court would be in turmoil.

"Zheng Yan."

"grown ups."

"Where is the transcript?"

"Please have a look, sir."

Li Shenfu rubbed his eyes, followed the light and carefully read the transcript, then he couldn't help but sigh.

That’s really the case.

Li Tai, Li Tai, you are too brave, aren't you?!

"Sir, this transcript..."

"Send it to Jiucheng Palace."

Li Shenfu casually handed the transcript to Zheng Yan and said, "Send it along with the things that King Wei sent."

"You answer whatever your majesty asks."

"I understand."

"Go."

……

"Your Majesty, Yan Hongxin requests to see you."

"Invite him in."

In the pavilion, Li You was eating fruits and looking at the koi in the pond. A piece of fish food was scattered, attracting a group of koi to swarm over.

Li You couldn't help but sigh, just like the throne, which attracted many princes to fight for it.

"Yan Hongxin has met His Majesty."

"Flat body."

Li You waved his hand, "What's the matter?"

Yan Hongxin smiled and said, "Your Highness, my brother has sent me news that there is a result from the Zongzheng Temple."

"Has it been found out?"

Li You smiled and said, "My uncle does have some skills."

Yan Hongxin smiled and nodded, "Prince Wei went to Zongzheng Temple to inquire about the news before, but returned empty-handed. Today, Du Chuke sent a golden statue of Bodhisattva over there, but still got nothing."

"Come to think of it, Li Shenfu seems to be preparing to pass this matter on to Jiucheng Palace."

"I'm afraid that's the case."

Li You pondered, then turned around and sat down.

"What did my uncle say?"

"Your Highness, what the Lord meant is that we can start after the news from Zongzheng Temple is delivered to Jiucheng Palace."

Li Tai's mouth curled up slightly. His uncle's move was indeed brilliant.

Once the transcript is sent to Jiucheng Palace, my father will definitely be furious!
But when he wanted to ask for clarification in person, he found out that Qin Ying and the other two were dead...

Gee tut.

“It’s getting more interesting!”

Li You clapped his hands and poured two cups of tea, "Please."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Are you ready?"

"This person is absolutely reliable!"

"very good……"

Li You said in a gloomy tone, "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for?"

"Let my good brothers have a good fight."

……

Prince's residence.

Li Chengqian looked serious.

When he learned that Li You might be behind this in Henan Province, he felt that something was wrong.

Therefore, after the court was dismissed, he went to the Prince's residence as soon as possible.

fortunately.

Su Chen did not go out today.

"What do you think about Li You?"

"Sit and watch."

Su Chen laughed and poured a cup of tea. "Don't be nervous. Everything you do is according to the rules. Even if someone wants to find fault, they will return empty-handed."

Whether it was the thorough investigation of officials in Henan Province or the unscrupulous murder attempt by Qin Ying and others, Li Chengqian handled it appropriately.

There will be troubles, of course, but they will not be his.

Guess.

After these two things were investigated and sent to Jiucheng Palace, Li Shimin's head must have exploded, right?
"It's just that Li Youtao has been keeping a low profile and has not taken any action. Now that he has suddenly left his mark on this matter, we have to be on guard."

"We don't know much about him."

Su Chen sighed, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat.

If Li You had not revealed any clues about the events in Henan Province, they would probably have been kept in the dark.

Now that Li You has taken action, it is impossible for him to stop just like that.

"Now you just need to be a good regent."

"Do less and make fewer mistakes. Let's wait and see what Li You wants to do this time."

Li Chengqian nodded after pondering for a moment, but he was also a little annoyed, "I really didn't expect that so many people would be eyeing such a position in the Eastern Palace."

Su Chen glanced at him, and there were many people who were concerned about him.

after all.

Each of them inherited the bloodline of Li Shimin, and they are deeply acquainted with the Xuanwu Gate inheritance law.

"How many people does Li You have, both openly and secretly? I have arranged for Sun Qiang to investigate. How much do you know about him?"

Li Chengqian frowned and thought for a while, "Li You is impatient and impulsive. He did a lot of outrageous things when he was in the fiefdom before."

"Perhaps because of my illness, I have become quieter since returning to Chang'an, and I rarely go out."

"However, his uncle Yin Hongzhi, and Yin Hongzhi's brothers-in-law Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang are not good people."

Su Chen looked at Li Chengqian strangely.

This is what I said...

As if we are the good people.

"I don't know any more than that."

Li Chengqian shook his head. "My relationship with him is not that good, and we don't meet very often."

Su Chen nodded, "How is the drought situation in Henan Prefecture being handled?"

Li Chengqian: "It's almost over, but the official's death is still under investigation."

"By the way, there's news from the Zongzheng Temple that Qin Ying and the other two have confessed, but I haven't seen the transcript. According to Grandpa Uncle, they were sent directly to Jiucheng Palace."

"What did those people say?"

"No worries, no worries."

Su Chen laughed in silence. It was not appropriate for them to interfere in this matter, so they simply ignored it and let Li Shenfu, who was of his grandfather's generation, handle it.

I feel relaxed and comfortable.

"So you haven't had anything to do lately."

"Government affairs still need to be dealt with."

Li Chengqian asked casually, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Su Chen stretched lazily and pointed at the sky outside, "The weather has been pretty good these days. I think you can take your brothers and sisters out of the palace for some fun."

Li Chengqian: "Ah?"

This……

"What does it mean?"

"As the eldest brother, how can you not take care of your brothers and sisters?"

Su Chen smiled, tapped his folding fan and said, "Why not take my brothers and sisters to the river outside the city to play in the water and grill some fish tomorrow afternoon when it's cool. That would be quite pleasant."

Li Chengqian: "???"

Su Chen: "It's hard to be a prince, it's harder to be an emperor, and it's even harder to be a qualified brother, a competent prince, an emperor who loves brothers and sisters, and unites sisters."

"He has already lost his father, brothers and sisters. You should let him see what a real emperor should be like."

"At least, when he sees and hears this, he will envy you."

"...I understand!"
