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

Chapter 234: The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make

Zan Junmo panicked.

He didn't expect that he was discovered even though he sneaked out of the city by blending in with the team of chefs buying groceries.

Facing Yue Ming and the other two who were chasing him, Zan Junmo said nothing and quickly fled into the distance.

Once you are caught in the Dali Temple, it is not easy to get out!

What's more, Zan Junmo was not completely sure that the King of Qi would protect him!
"Zan Junmo, you can't run away!"

Yue Ming shouted, "Just surrender now and follow me back to the Dali Temple to explain everything. There is still a glimmer of hope. If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame us for being merciless!"

feelings?

We don't have any feelings for each other!

Zan Junmo sneered at Yue Ming's advice.

He and Yue Ming had never met before. Would Yue Ming show mercy to his men?

Will help him?
It's like deceiving him like a three-year-old child!

"Why bother talking nonsense with him!"

Without saying a word, Qiao Mengzhuo stretched out his right hand from across his waist, and a dart landed in his palm, then shot towards Zan Junmo's back.

The strong wind coming from behind immediately caught Zan Junmo's attention.

As a hunting expert, he was naturally familiar with tools such as darts and bows and arrows. The familiar sound of breaking through the air made him react immediately.

He dodged forward and rolled, easily avoiding the dart shot from behind, but what he didn't expect was that the moment he stood up, three darts flew towards him in a V-shape.

This was obviously to stop him from escaping!
Deep in danger, Zan Junmo could only draw his sword to resist!

Ding Ding Ding!
The dart fell to the ground, and Qiao Mengzhuo and the other person also came in front of him.

"Keep running!"

Qiao Mengzhuo sneered, with a cold light flashing in his hand, "Let's see whether you run faster or my dart is faster!"

Zan Junmo stared coldly at Qiao Mengzhuo and the others, "I have no grudges against you, why do you insist on taking me back to the Dali Temple?!"

Yue Ming: "You will know after you go back!"

"go back?"

"Haha, it's impossible to go back!"

Zan Junmo trembled the long sword in his hand, "If you want to take me back, it depends on whether you two patrolmen have the strength to do so!"

"Insanity!"

Yue Ming shouted loudly, then quickly stepped forward and swung out a short stick from his sleeve.

Ding!
He blocked the opponent's powerful attack and then slashed towards Yue Ming's neck with the knife in his hand.

Ding!
Another short stick appeared, and Zan Junmo pulled back without hesitation. As he retreated, a cold light passed across his chest and tore his clothes.

"Ok?"

Yue Ming seemed a little surprised that he failed to deprive Zan Junmo of his fighting ability with one blow.

Zan Junmo looked down at the marks on his chest and sneered, "Qiao Mengzhuo's darts and Yue Ming's gun, do you think I don't know?"

Yue Ming calmly put the two short sticks together. With a clang, the spear tip popped out from the long stick, forming a long spear.

Zan Junmo: "I am extremely honored to have the two great patrol officers of the Dali Temple use their best abilities to deal with me."

Yue Ming said coldly: "Since you know, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Zan Junmo smiled calmly, "You think it's a nice idea!"

"Do it!"

A dart shot towards Zan Junmo, and Qiao Mengzhuo jumped up at the same time.

Yue Ming was also not vague. Since the other party was unwilling to surrender, he had no choice but to capture him!

Although Zan Junmo was brave, he was only able to fight to the death when facing the siege of two patrol officers led by Yue Ming.

After only a dozen moves, wounds appeared on Zan Junmo's body and his fighting power dropped sharply.

In the end, Yue Ming's bullet pierced his thigh, completely depriving him of his combat effectiveness.

"You know you can't escape, but you still want to fight. Are you stupid or stupid?"

"Ha ha……"

Zan Junmo sneered repeatedly, "Even if you arrest me, it's useless. I know nothing about Wannian County!"

"...?"

Yue Ming and the other man looked at each other and saw the look of astonishment on each other's faces.

They were ordered to arrest Zan Junmo because of what he had done in Qizhou. However, how could they tell from Zan Junmo's words that he had fled Chang'an in a panic because of what happened in Wannian County?

Yue Ming sneered, "You don't know? That's not what you and Liang Mengbiao did?!"

Qiao Mengzhuo nodded in understanding, "Yes, you still want to hide this matter today? I tell you, what you did has been exposed!"

Zan Junmo: "It's ridiculous. Liang Mengbiao is dead. Whatever you say is useless."

Yue Ming: "Who said he was dead? Did you see it?"

Zan Junmo sneered, looked at Yue Ming coldly, and said no more.

Seeing that they could not get more useful information from Zan Junmo, the two men had to trap Zan Junmo and take him to the Dali Temple.

……

Prince Qi's Mansion.

A servant quickly came to Li You and reported that Zan Junmo had been arrested.

"Didn't he leave town in disguise?"

Li You frowned, "How did the people from Dali Temple find out?"

Servant: "My Lord, Zan Junmo did leave the city, but for some reason, the people from the Dali Temple seemed to have discovered his whereabouts, chased him out, and captured him outside the city."

Li You was silent, waved his hand, and the servants retreated.

Yan Hongliang said coldly: "Zan Junmo acted so carelessly, he deserved this disaster. Your Majesty, why don't I contact Zhang Quan and get rid of him."

"Confused!"

Yan Hongxin frowned and scolded, "So many people watched Zan Junmo being sent to the Dali Temple. If you kill him now, won't it tell others that we killed Zan Junmo?" Yin Hongzhi waved his hand, "Okay, stop arguing. Zan Junmo is still a trustworthy person."

"Even if he is imprisoned in the Dali Temple, if he doesn't speak, Sun Fujia will have no way to deal with him."

Li You nodded, "Uncle is right, I still have confidence in Zan Junmo."

"But Zan Junmo is still a member of our Qi Wang Mansion. Now that he has been arrested, we have to pretend to be him."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Yin Hongzhi nodded and said, "I will go to the Dali Temple to meet him on behalf of the prince later."

Li You responded, "Li Tai attacked us this time, we must not let him go easily!"

Yin Hongzhi shook his head and reminded: "Your Highness, our Qi Palace has been targeted now, so it is not appropriate to take action."

"What does uncle mean?"

"The more you do, the more mistakes you make; the less you do, the fewer mistakes you make!"

Li You thought for a moment, "I see."

……

Dali Temple.

Yue Ming and the other man detained Zan Junmo and threw him into prison. They then went to Sun Fujia to report the matter.

"My lord, I am fortunate to have lived up to my fate."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Sun Fujia nodded, "Where's Liang Mengbiao?"

"Your Excellency, we were just about to report this to you!"

"When we arrested Zan Junmo just now, he mentioned the incident in Wannian County and said that Liang Mengbiao was dead!"

"Liang Mengbiao is dead?"

Sun Fujia frowned, and was he referring to the things happening in Wannian County?

and so.

Sun Fujia said slowly, "In that case, the explosion in Wannian County is closely related to the Prince Qi's Mansion."

"Your Majesty, it's clear."

"Has anyone claimed the body in Wannian County?"

"No one!"

Sun Fujia nodded. This was within his expectations.

Once you are involved, you will inevitably face questioning from the government.

Moreover, in Sun Fujia's opinion, such an explosion would have caused much more noise than the one at Chonghuafang and Bingpu, and it was obviously the location where the other party stored the explosives.

Those who can be assigned to watch there must be trusted confidants and death warriors.

There's no way the news would leak out.

"You interrogate him. As for Liang Mengbiao's matter, Qiao Mengzhuo needs you to go and confirm it."

"Yes."

After explaining everything, Yue Ming and the other man left one after another.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Fujia ordered people to prepare a carriage and took it to the East Palace.

"Please inform him that Sun Fujia from the Dali Temple wishes to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The Crown Prince has ordered that all officials from the court who come to see him do not need to be notified. Please follow me, Lord Sun."

"Thank you."

Following the eunuch, Sun Fujia came in front of Li Chengqian.

"Your servant Sun Fujia pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No gift."

Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand, then arranged for the palace maid to take Li Xiang away.

Sun Fujia: "Please forgive me for interrupting the prince and his grandson's play."

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Lord Sun is fair in his work. You must have something important to discuss this time, right?"

Sun Fujia nodded and said, "Yesterday I received a file about Zan Junmo bullying others by taking advantage of his power. I ordered someone to bring Zan Junmo back to the Dali Temple for questioning."

"But I didn't expect to learn from Zan Junmo that Liang Mengbiao had died in the explosion outside Wannian County!"

Li Chengqian frowned and glanced at him. Sun Fujia continued, "I have already ordered people to interrogate Zan Junmo, and have arranged for people to go to Wannian County to confirm."

"I believe that this matter is very likely to involve the Prince of Qi's Mansion, so I came to the East Palace to report the matter."

Li Chengqian smiled and nodded, "This matter is indeed a headache."

"What do you think, Lord Sun?"

Sun Fujia hesitated for a moment, "According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if it is proven that this matter involves the Prince of Qi's Palace, the Prince of Qi's Palace must be investigated..."

Li Chengqian waved his hand, "Master Sun, don't be too confident."

"At least for now, you have only drawn such a conclusion based on Zan Junmo's words, and there is no substantial evidence."

Sun Fujia nodded.

Li Chengqian continued, "How about this, you continue to investigate this matter. If it really involves my fifth brother, I will ask about it myself."

"The prince is wise."

Facing Sun Fujia's flattery, Li Chengqian smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I only hope that Lord Sun can investigate this matter and clear my name."

"I didn't want this to cause a stir. My fifth brother and I would become alienated, which is not a good thing."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Sun Fujia bowed and said, "If that's the case, then I will go down and investigate the matter first, and then report to the Crown Prince."

"Well, go ahead and check it out."

"As ordered by the prince."
