Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 822
On the third day, a group of yamen servants suddenly rushed into Li's residence.

Li Canghai was studying in the study, when he heard the noise coming from the courtyard, he went out.

He glanced at the gang of yamen servants and saw that the leader was wearing the official mansion, so he frowned and said, "Who are you, and you broke into the mansion without your knowledge, do you know what crime it is?"

Hearing this, the official snorted, "Listen well, this official is Zhu Dachang, the new Governor of Chang'an Prefecture! This official came after a few thieves, but they disappeared when they got here. I think it must be you Hidden! Hurry up and hand over the thief, and I may give you a lighter sentence!"

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Then do you know why you are able to be the governor of Chang'an Prefecture?"

"It's because of the emperor's grace and my strength that I can become the governor of Chang'an Prefecture! I advise you to hand over the thief as soon as possible to avoid the pain of flesh and blood!" Zhu Dachang said proudly.

Li Canghai sneered, and said: "Master Zhu has such great authority! If I say that you will fall into my hands when you take office as Governor of Chang'an, I wonder if you believe it?"

Before Li Canghai could finish speaking, Zhu Dachang let out a bah, and said, "Ah bah, you're just a frail scholar, and your tone is not small! I don't want to talk nonsense with you, come and search the house!"

At this moment, He Ya, the head arrester of the Chang'an Mansion, hurried over with a few yamen servants.

Seeing Zhu Dachang arrogantly questioning Li Canghai, He Ya broke out in a cold sweat and ran over in a hurry.

"Master Zhu, why did you come to Master Li's house?" He Ya hurriedly saluted Li Canghai after saying that, "Master Li, Master Zhu doesn't recognize you. I hope you will forgive me if I didn't intend to offend you!"

Seeing He Ya apologized and saluted Li Canghai, Zhu Dachang was a little displeased, and said in a low voice, "He Ya, do you think he is a lord? Which lord is he?"

He Ya's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he said in a low voice, "Master Zhu, the one standing in front of you is the current founding prince, Li Canghai, the crown prince, Shao Fu, and Minister of Dali Temple, Li Canghai!"

Zhu Dachang, who was still arrogant at first, was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning after hearing what He Ya said.

His throat kept gurgling, and his body kept shaking. After a while, he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Canghai, kowtowing his head non-stop.

"Li... Master Li, I don't know Master Li, what an offense... I hope you will forgive me a lot, please forgive me a lot!"

Li Canghai glanced at him, and said indifferently: "Master Zhu, why is this so? I'm just a frail scholar who harbors thieves."

Zhu Dachang was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed desperately and said: "The lower official has no eyes, if he offends your lord, please forgive him! The place where your lord lives is a fairyland in the world, how can there be any thieves, this is the negligence of the lower official , Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Li Canghai frowned, and said coldly: "As the Governor of Chang'an, what you have done has insulted the court and the common people! Go to the Ministry of Officials to receive the punishment yourself!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I obey the order, and I will go to the official department to receive the punishment!" Zhu Dachang led a group of yamen servants and left Li's mansion in a hurry.

After Zhu Dachang and others left, Xue Xuan frowned and said: "Cang Hai, how did you say that such a bastard became the Governor of Chang'an?"

Li Canghai put his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "The Tang Dynasty today is no longer the Tang Dynasty in the prosperous age. In the whole world, there are many officials who are more jerks than Zhu Dachang. An Lushan's rebellion is inevitable. gone."

"I think he is not only an asshole, but also stupid. The thief actually caught you." Xue Xuan sighed.

Li Canghai smiled lightly and said, "Zhu Dachang is just a pawn."

"Chess piece? What chess piece?" Xue Xuan asked puzzled.

"A chess piece to verify whether I'm really at home." Li Canghai looked indifferent, after he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Xuan'er, come play chess with me!"

Xue Xuan nodded, then followed Li Canghai into the study.

And just after the two entered the study, a figure disappeared on the roof in the distance.

The secret room of Xiangguo Mansion.

What did the man in black report to Yang Guozhong.

After Yang Guozhong listened, his brows became tighter.

"You really saw Li Canghai?" Yang Guozhong reconfirmed, still not quite convinced.

The man in black nodded: "This subordinate has seen it with his own eyes, and he will never make a mistake."

Suddenly Yang Guozhong's eyes were full of blankness, he paced and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what Li Canghai was thinking.

The man in black saw him pondering and remained silent, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Sovereign, tomorrow is the night of the full moon, do you want to change the plan?"

Yang Guozhong stopped, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no need to change the plan, everything will be done according to plan."

"But, what should Li Canghai do?" the man in black asked worriedly.

Yang Guozhong thought for a moment, and said: "The three-day deadline is approaching, but he has not moved. He must be secretly planning some shady business. However, since he has never left the mansion, it is impossible to find out any clues. Send more people to keep an eye on him!"

"This subordinate obeys the order." After the black-robed man took the order, he hesitated and said: "Sovereign, I have something to say, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

"But it's okay to say." Yang Guozhong walked to the bone chair and sat down, and said.

"The subordinates are worried that Li Canghai will make some arrangements secretly to destroy the suzerain's consumption of the elixir of life. The subordinates suggest that the suzerain should not be too anxious to consume the elixir of life, and take it after Li Canghai is removed." Paused After a pause, the man in black went on to say: "What's more, it is not known whether this medicine is really an elixir of life. If it is a poison, wouldn't the Suzerain be harmed instead?"

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard and pondered, "This elixir of life was found by Li Canghai from the Mausoleum of the First Emperor and presented to the emperor. How can it be fake? Now, this elixir of life is taken by our sect. As a result, the emperor is also furious with thunder, and this thing cannot be kept for a long time. In order to avoid accidents, it is better to take it as soon as possible."

"Sovereign, how can there really be an elixir of life in this world? This subordinate still doesn't quite believe it." The black robe said humanely.

Yang Guozhong laughed and said, "I know you won't believe it, but there are immortals in this world."

"Please tell the suzerain clearly." The black robe said humanely.

Yang Guozhong stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and said: "This is a royal secret. Except for the emperors and princes, no one else knows about it. The elixir of life has been searched for by people in the past dynasties, but there is nothing. After all the success, only one person found some clues about the elixir of life."
