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

Chapter 21 is released today!
Most cases that occurred in Chang'an City were handled by Jingzhao Prefecture, but once a murder occurred, it would need to be reported to the Ministry of Justice.

Especially in a bustling downtown area like West Market, where a major case involving eight deaths occurred, Lu Chengqing's best option was to report it to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible and have it handled by the Ministry of Justice, or for Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice to work together to solve the case.

But the special point of this case is that the eight people who died were killers. They ambushed Su Chen and the other two in the streets, but were killed by Su Chen and the other two instead.

If it were normal, the murderer would be caught and brought to justice.

But now, the murderer's purpose of killing was to ensure his own safety out of self-defense. Moreover, the matter spread very quickly and had a very bad impact.

Su Chen is still from the Eastern Palace!

Headache!

Lu Chengqing rubbed his head, and Yu Zhining said quietly: "A murder occurred under the emperor's feet, and the matter should be investigated..."

"Master Lu, please think twice."

What should you do when you encounter a problem that you cannot solve? Should you face it head-on and find ways to solve it, or pass it on to others?
Instead of consuming yourself internally, it is better to consume others externally.

Lu Chengqing seemed to be thinking about something and looked at Su Chen and the others who were smiling.

Since you are determined to make things worse, I will take a gamble with you!
"Thank you for your guidance, Master Ning."

Lu Chengqing glanced at Su Chen and the other two, then stood up and bowed to Li Chengqian, "Your Highness, since the matter has been investigated, I will not disturb you any more."

After watching Lu Chengqing leave, Yu Zhining smiled calmly, "Your Highness, it's time for me to prepare some books."

"Thank you, Mr. Changshi."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "Then I will go to the palace with you to meet the emperor."

Yu Zhining smiled, bowed, and turned to leave.

"Brother Su, I need your help for something."

"What's the matter?"

"People from Taizhou are here."

The action is quite fast.

I just don't know how much silver was sent from Taizhou this time.

Su Chen: "Where are we?"

"Wannian County."

"Wannian County..."

Su Chen pondered, and suddenly raised his lips, "Aqiang, I remember when I was having dinner at the restaurant just now, I heard someone say that the envoys from Liugui Kingdom have also arrived in Wannian County?"

Sun Qiang: “That’s true.”

Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Brother Su, you are not planning to attack those envoys, are you? You must not do that!"

Su Chen waved his hand, "Everyone is a guest, we are a country of etiquette."

Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm really worried that Su Chen is planning to do something to those envoys, which would be bad.

"Just in case, I'll help Chai Zhewei again."

"...?"

……

Prince Wei's Mansion.

Li Tai was in a good mood as he looked at the compiled Comprehensive Geography in his hand!

According to their plan, the Comprehensive Geography is divided into four phases. Now, with the cooperation and efforts of everyone, the first phase of the Comprehensive Geography has been successfully completed!

With this item, he can enter the palace to meet the emperor!

At this time.

A guard came quickly and whispered something in Li Tai's ear.

The smile on Li Tai's face quickly faded, and there was a hint of strangeness in it.

Eight people ambushed him and yet he was able to walk back to the Prince’s Residence alive?

But it's not a big problem. They have already made arrangements. Even if the person is caught, he will not give up the Prince Wei's Mansion. Moreover, there is no evidence now!

Li Tai calmed down and ordered, "Prepare the carriage. I want to go to the palace to meet the emperor and tell my father the good news."

"Yes."

After a while, the carriage was ready.

Li Tai took the Comprehensive Geography and boarded a carriage to the palace.

Da da da.

The sound of horse hooves came from not far away.

Li Tai lifted the curtain and took a look. The person in the lead was wearing Ming Guang armor and a waist belt under his ribs. It was the General Chai Zhewei.

Chai Zhewei led the way, leading dozens of soldiers to the government office. The two sides passed each other, looked at each other tacitly, and then went in opposite directions.

Chai Zhewei stopped outside the government office, dismounted, walked into the government office with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and ran into Lu Chengqing head-on.

"General Chai."

"Lord Lu."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Lu Chengqing smiled and said, "General Chai, what is your intention in bringing people here in such a hurry?"

Chai Zhewei said coldly, "I was arranging patrol duties, but I didn't expect my men to neglect their duties, causing a murder in the West City. I came here to investigate."

"Are these bodies the victims of the case? Where is Lord Lu going to take them?"

Lu Chengqing nodded, "That's right, I will take these bodies to the Ministry of Justice!"

Chai Zhewei raised his eyebrows, a trace of suspicion flashed across his face, and he asked with a bow, "Excuse me, Lord Lu, is the murderer here?"

Lu Chengqing shook his head regretfully. "I just got some clues on this matter, but it's a serious matter. I think I should report it to the Ministry of Justice and let it handle it."

"Since General Chai is here for this matter, why don't you accompany me to the Ministry of Justice?"

Chai Zhewei nodded and walked with him.

During this period, many curious people followed him and even though they were driven away, they still stayed far behind him.

Just outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, the curious people dispersed.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Lu and General Chai."

"Is the Minister here?"

"The Minister is processing the files. Please follow me, my Lords."

Under the guidance of the legal officer, Lu Chengqing and his companion came before Shangshu Li Daozon.

The two of them bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Excellency the Minister."

Li Dao Zong smiled and waved his hand, motioning for the two to take a seat, "How come you two have the time to come to my Ministry of Justice?"

Lu Chengqing cupped his hands and explained the whole story, and Li Daozon's face darkened.

The importance of this matter is self-evident, and the impact is extremely bad.

If it is not handled properly, all merchants in the West Market will be in danger, not to mention those Hu merchants who come from afar. How dare they continue to come to Chang'an City to do business?

"General Chai."

Li Dao Zong looked over and said, "You are on duty today, why did such a murder happen in Xishi?"

Chai Zhewei was indignant, and said loudly: "Please understand, Lord Shangshu, I arranged the patrol early this morning, but I never thought that someone would neglect his duty and cause such a murder. I have ordered people to detain him and wait for his punishment at any time."

Chai Zhewei's movements were so quick that there was nothing wrong with them.

Even so, Li Dao Zong still sighed, "General Chai will probably be held responsible for negligence."

Chai Zhewei nodded with a bitter look on his face, but he disagreed in his heart.

As early as when they made the plan, they had considered the consequences. The maximum penalty for negligence would be three to six months.

It would be a good thing to use these salaries to save the life of that evil thief Su Chen.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty has ordered the three gentlemen, the Minister of State, the General of the Central Army, and the Prefect, to come to the palace to see the Emperor!"

What a great speed.

Li Daozon and the other two were shocked and a little surprised.

Your Majesty lives in the palace, how could you learn about this matter so quickly?

Li Dao Zong stood up suddenly and said, "My two lords, please follow me into the palace to see the emperor!"

Outside the palace.

Li Tai got off the carriage, holding the Comprehensive Geography in his hand, full of confidence.

Grounded?

Ha ha.

The ban is lifted today!
As he walked into the palace, Li Tai suddenly discovered that there were many ordinary people.

There were not many people, about twenty or so, all waiting in front of the hall.

When they saw him coming, these people all looked at him with smiling faces. If there were no eunuchs around them, they would have run over to pay their respects.

strangeness.

Why are there so many people in the palace?
"Your Highness, the King of Wei, His Majesty is calling you in."

Li Tai nodded, straightened his clothes, and strode into the hall with his head held high. However, he was surprised to find that Li Shimin and Li Chengqian were having a very pleasant conversation!

This……

what's the situation?
"Qingque is here, come and sit down."
