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

Chapter 278 Lure the snake out of its hole
idea?

Lure the snake out of its hole, right?

Su Chen said with a smile, "Catching the remnants of the Lu family is not a difficult task for the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. The prince must have made up his mind, so why bother asking for my opinion?"

Li Dao Zong smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

Su Chen: "Didn't the prince just say that the reason they were able to hide in Chang'an City without being discovered was obviously because someone was secretly assisting them?"

"Besides, the prince has already guessed that their target is most likely the crown prince, so they must be lured out before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"I guess the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have already decided on this method of luring the snake out of its hole. Otherwise, why is the prince so indifferent?"

Li Dao Zong nodded, "You are right."

"We discussed it and decided to lure them out and catch them all in one fell swoop before the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Where do you think is the most suitable place to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Su Chen frowned in thought.

Li Jingheng: "Father is actually trying to lure the snake out of its hole, so he naturally has to choose a place with few people to make it easier to do it."

Li Xueyan shook her head. "It's easy to arouse the other party's attention in a place with few people. Secondly, when the prince travels, there must be many guards protecting him. They won't show up easily."

"Do not."

Su Chen shook his head, "There is a place that is suitable for them to ambush."

"Where?"

Li Jingheng and the other man looked over at the same time.

Su Chen said slowly: "The fifth enlightenment school is established in the school in East City!"

Li Jingheng and the other person frowned at the same time. The school in East City?

Li Dao Zong asked with a smile on his face: "Why is it the school in the East City?"

Su Chen said in a deep voice: "The East Market is bustling with people. For the remnants of the Lu family, their entry into the East Market is like a drop in the ocean, and it is difficult to track them."

"Secondly, since we want to capture all these people before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the only place that is suitable for the prince's status and sufficient for him to leave the palace is the Enlightenment School!"

"It just so happens that I have been observing the construction of the Enlightenment School these days. Tomorrow is the day when the East City Enlightenment School will be completed!"

"As a promoter of the new enlightenment school, the crown prince appeared in person in the East Market to inspect the roof of the Enlightenment School and inspect the school..."

"This is a reasonable reason that won't arouse the suspicion of the remnants of the Lu family!"

Snap, snap.

Li Dao Zong's face was full of admiration. "You are right. The completion of the school in the East City is indeed the most appropriate reason for the Crown Prince to come forward."

Su Chen: "We set the location in the East Market, where there are many people and eyes, are you sure?"

Li Dao Zong smiled calmly, "The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple have joined forces. Do you think we can be confident?"

Su Chen nodded.

Li Dao Zong continued: "Besides, you are going there tomorrow too, right?"

Su Chen looked at Li Dao Zong and replied with a smile: "No problem."

"Father!"

Li Xueyan asked in confusion, "Since you know that the remnants of the Lu family will attack the prince tomorrow, why do you want to let Master Su go with you?"

Su Chen: "Give them a rare opportunity."

"To lure a snake out of its hole, the most important thing is not to lure it in, but to give it enough bait!"

"If only the crown prince goes tomorrow, the possibility of the remnants of the Lu family taking action is not high. If the crown prince is accompanied by other princes, then it is not certain."

"But, it's obviously impossible for those princes to go with them, so it's more appropriate for me to go."

"If they don't take action tomorrow, then the only option is the Mid-Autumn Festival night."

Li Dao Zong smiled and said, "Let your people prepare as well."

Su Chen nodded, "Don't worry, as long as they show up tomorrow, we will not let them leave the East Market."

Seeing that Su Chen and Li Daozon had made an agreement, Li Xueyan sighed helplessly.

It was such a dangerous place, but he still took the initiative to put himself in danger.

After staying in the Jiangxia Palace for an hour, Su Chen took Sun Qiang away.

After returning to the Prince's Residence, Su Chen ordered someone to call Xue Li over.

"Son."

"Arrange your people to set up an ambush near the East City Enlightenment School tomorrow. Act as convincingly as possible and don't get discovered."

Xue Li frowned and said, "Sir, what should we do with the remnants of the Lu family?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, they should show up tomorrow!"

Xue Li seemed to understand something. "Master, if you use yourself as bait, will they really show up?"

"It's not just me this time."

Su Chen teased, "The Crown Prince will also show up at the Enlightenment School tomorrow. The Crown Prince was the one who ordered the attack on the Lu family. How could the remnants of the Lu family miss this opportunity?"

"If it were me, even if I knew tomorrow was a trap, I would still want to give it a try."

Xue Li was shocked. Using the prince and Su Chen as bait to lure out the remnants of the Lu family?

This……

"Sir, if..."

"Don't think too much."

Su Chen waved his hand and interrupted Xue Li, "The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple are already prepared, there will be no accidents tomorrow."

Xue Li breathed a sigh of relief. With people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, there shouldn't be any problems.

"After we capture these remnants of the Lu family, we can celebrate the festival."

"I'll make arrangements right away."

Xue Li bowed and retreated.

Su Chen took out the homemade gun he carried with him.

Wipe it frequently to avoid dust.

Why use bows and swords when you have guns?

Haha. How to become a master!

……

East Market.

Compared with the West Market, the East Market is just as prosperous.

However, there is some difference, because the East Market is close to the residences of princes and nobles, most of the goods sold here are of high-end quality and can meet the needs of princes and nobles.

The West Market is more civilian-oriented, with mostly peddlers, merchants from all over the place, and businessmen from other countries.

Su Chen took Sun Qiang and walked leisurely on the East Market Street.

He had been to the East Market several times, but he was not interested in it, mainly because doing business here required satisfying the demands of the powerful.

It's hard to describe the taste of rich people.

If you are not careful, not only will you get into all kinds of trouble, but you will also need to maintain good relationships with many powerful people.

How can you make money in Xishi as quickly and efficiently?
"Sir, there are many good players nearby."

Sun Qiang followed Su Chen, looked around, and whispered: "Several patrol officers from the Dali Temple are here."

Su Chen smiled and said, "The four patrol officers of the Dali Temple?"

Sun Qiang looked at Su Chen in surprise, "There are more than four patrol officers in the Dali Temple, there are thirteen in total."

Su Chen was stunned: "So many?"

Sun Qiang nodded. "Because of the cases handled by the Dali Temple, most of the patrol officers in the Dali Temple are outside, and these people are very skilled."

"There are only a few people stationed in Chang'an City who are responsible for some difficult cases."

Su Chen tapped his head and smiled, "I didn't notice it."

"Sir, people from the Ministry of Works are here."

Su Chen looked in the direction Sun Qiang pointed, and saw Duan Lun from the Ministry of Industry, who was directing the craftsmen to work with a serious look on his face.

Sun Qiang: "Sir, why didn't Lord Duan just send someone over here, but went there himself?"

Su Chen frowned in surprise. Such a trivial matter required Duan Lun to take charge personally?
wrong.

Su Chen suddenly smiled, "So that's how it is."

"Master Duan showed up so that the news could reach their ears."

The Minister of Works came in person to supervise the construction of the school. What does this indicate?
An important person will come here soon to check on the construction work of the school!

This game is really interesting.

Su Chen smiled and ordered a kebab of mutton, then called Sun Qiang to Duan Lun, "Let's go, let's go show ourselves too."

Sun Qiang: “…”

The two of them strode up behind Duan Lun, and Su Chen greeted him with a smile, "Master Duan."

"Mr. Su?"

Hearing Su Chen's voice, Duan Lun turned around and was a little surprised, "Why is Mr. Su here?"

Su Chen said with a smile: "I'm here to make up the numbers."

Duan Lun was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Su Chen meant. Duan Lun whispered, "This is not a place to play around."

Su Chen nodded, "When will the prince come?"

"One stick of incense at the latest."

Duan Lun looked at the sky and said, "It's time for me to go too. Mr. Su, please be careful."

Su Chen: "Understood."

After watching Duan Lun leave, Su Chen called Sun Qiang and went to the shop opposite the school to sit down.

"Let's just wait here and watch the show."

After a stick of incense.

With the Qianniu Guards leading the way, Li Chengqian came to the Enlightenment School with dozens of officials, both big and small.

This naturally includes Duan Lun, the Minister of Works who was responsible for the construction of the Enlightenment School.

only.

Duan Lun now has changed into an official uniform.

Su Chen looked around, but did not find any suspicious people.

Sun Qiang quietly held down the steel knife at his waist, which attracted Su Chen's attention. "Are they coming?"

"coming."

Sun Qiang whispered, "Didn't you notice it, sir?"

Su Chen: "..."

this……

Kind of embarrassing.

Su Chen's eyes searched the crowd again. Sun Qiang whispered to Su Chen and described their attire. "The three people outside the restaurant on the right, the one holding a straw target and shouting to sell candied haws, and..."

Su Chen looked puzzled, "They don't look any different."

Sun Qiang: "Sir, take a closer look at their postures when they walk or stand."

Su Chen looked closely and saw that the three men standing outside the restaurant were slouching. However, when Su Chen tried to imagine their standing posture in his mind, his pupils shrank. "They are ready to charge at any time!"

Sun Qiang nodded, "Yes, that's it!"

"Real masters may not seem to have any outstanding qualities on the surface, but in fact, they are always on guard or about to take action."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully, "In other words, they will keep their bodies in a state of being ready to explode at any time."

"Once they start, they will definitely be one step ahead and take down their opponents before they can even react."

Sun Qiang: “That’s right.”

If that's the case...

Su Chen silently stretched out his right hand and pressed the gun at his waist.

"Sir, someone is coming!"
