Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

.....

The palace, the bedroom!

Crackling!

Emperor Qing was so angry that he smashed three vases in a row.

Eunuch Hou was trembling with fear.

He had served Emperor Qing for so many years, but it was rare for him to see him so angry.

It can be seen how angry Emperor Qing was when the Black Cavalry was intercepted and killed this time.

After all these years, this is the first time someone dares to kill the Black Knight!

Especially since this happened near Kyoto!

How could Emperor Qing tolerate such provocation?

"Send a message to Chen Pingping immediately and have him return to Kyoto as soon as possible. At the same time, thoroughly investigate this matter and make sure to apprehend these people. Leave no one behind!"

"besides......"

Emperor Qing's eyes were cold and stern.

He originally wanted to summon the prince to an audience.

But after thinking about it, Emperor Qing suppressed the idea.

Emperor Qing doesn't like to be passive.

He won't panic until the matter is fully clarified.

In particular, the assassination of Mei Zhili was something that could not be made public.

Even if he summoned the prince, he wouldn't be able to say anything.

At this time, it is best to investigate the location secretly.

So after thinking for a long time, Emperor Qing waved his hand and said, "That's all, go do it!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Hou breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated.

......

Prince Li's Mansion.

Li Chengyuan and Sang Wen were eating a chicken leg, one bite at a time.

Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Li Chengyuan's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for intercepting the former Kaifeng prefect Mei Zhili. Rewards: Shen Zhui and Cai Quan!]

[Shen Zhui: The Minister of Revenue in Nirvana in Fire. He is upright, insightful, capable, steady and reliable. He is currently a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue of the Kingdom of Qing!]

Cai Quan: The Minister of Justice in Nirvana in Fire. He is kind-hearted, upright, capable, fair, and honest. He currently serves as a Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice in the Kingdom of Qing.

Ok?

Shen Zhui?

Cai Quan?

Was the rescue of Mei Zhili successful?

Li Chengyuan was just wondering when he saw Hongshu suddenly walk in and report to him.

"Your Highness, we just received news that Mei Zhili, the governor of Kyoto, retired early this morning and was ambushed by bandits on the way. He has been rescued by our people!"

Li Chengyuan's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Are our people okay?"

"No!" Hongshu said, "Zhen Ping led the team personally, using bows and arrows, and there were no casualties!"

"Where are the Black Knights of the Inspectorate?"

"As you instructed, the bows and swords were coated with anesthetics and didn't hit vital parts, so they didn't suffer any casualties!"

"Has your identity been exposed?"

"They are all wearing night clothes and masked. Besides Zhen Ping, the rest of the men were transferred from the Jiangzuo League. There shouldn't be any loopholes!"

"That's good!"

Li Chengyuan nodded.

He had actually been planning to rescue Mei Zhili for a long time!

Li Chengyuan's biggest advantage, besides the system, is his familiarity with the plot.

So he had been planning for Mei Zhili to be ambushed and killed.

In fact, on the surface, saving Mei Zhili does not bring much benefit to Li Chengyuan.

After all, Mei Zhili is on the prince's side. Even if he rescues the person, Mei Zhili may not necessarily submit to him.

Even if Mei Zhili surrendered, the help he could provide to him as a retired official would be limited.

Unless Mei Zhili can mobilize all his connections to help him with all his strength.

But this would expose the fact that Li Chengyuan saved Mei Zhili.

So this is not a good deal no matter how you look at it.

But Li Chengyuan did it anyway.

First of all, as an official of the Qing State, Mei Zhili did not commit any major mistakes except for taking the wrong side. In any case, his crime does not deserve the death penalty.

Li Chengyuan is not a saint, but if he can save a life, why not do it?

Secondly, this rescue was also Li Chengyuan's military training.

This time, he used the power of the Jiangzuo League on the northern border to rescue people.

Li Chengyuan has never used the Jiangzuo League since they went to the border to develop.

Li Chengyuan himself didn't know how strong they were.

This deployment of troops can also be regarded as a test of their strength.

And it just so happened that Li Chengyuan wanted to expand to the south.

Li Chengyuan called these people back, not only to rescue Mei Zhili, but also to let them and Zhen Ping, with the help of the escort agency's power, infiltrate Jiangnan little by little and make plans for the future.

So after these people came out, they had no intention of sending them back to the Jiangzuo League, and naturally they were not afraid of exposing the Jiangzuo League.

Finally, Li Chengyuan rescued the people and could also trick the prince and Li Chengze.

After all, in the entire Kyoto, only the prince and Li Chengze have reason to save Mei Zhili.

The prince's reasons are self-evident.

Li Chengze saved Mei Zhili so that he could put the blame on the prince.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it, this matter has nothing to do with him.

Li Chengyuan is sitting on the Diaoyutai, and you can see that the three of them, father and son, are suspicious of each other!

Anyway, for Li Chengyuan, this matter has more advantages than disadvantages.

By the way, you can also compete with Dean Chen from a distance.

He wanted to see if Dean Chen could find these people!

Chapter 75 Li Chengze's plan! The prologue of Niulan Street begins!

That day, Fan Xian finally met the chicken leg girl he had been longing for.

However, the people in the imperial palace were in a state of panic the entire day because of the robbery and murder of the Black Cavalry.

Emperor Qing suppressed his anger and kept it to himself.

The prince was framed and was so angry that he almost broke down, but he had no way to explain.

Even Li Chengze seemed to be behaving himself on the surface. After all, he was also a suspect in Mei Zhili's matter!

But that's just the surface.

Despite the accident with Mei Zhili, Li Chengze's plan did not stop.

...

Qin Wangfu.

"Your Highness, the eldest princess has sent back news that she already knows the identity of the Northern Qi spy!" Xie Bian reported in a low voice.

Li Chengze's eyes flashed, and he asked in a serious tone, "Who is it?"

"Zuixianju, Si Lili!"

"Is it her?" Li Chengze was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up and asked in a deep voice, "Si Lili? Is she related to the third brother?"

"This..." Xie Bian said, "There shouldn't be any! I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he said that apart from that time, the Third Prince never went to see Si Lili again, so the Third Prince should not know her identity!"

"Never looked for it again?" Li Chengze pondered, "Never looked for it again, that's a problem in itself!"

"Your Highness means..."

"Think about it, what kind of person is the third brother? He loves to be romantic and likes to linger on flower boats the most.

Especially after being crowned king last year, he has become a frequent visitor to Liujing River.

Such a person, after finally conquering a courtesan with poetry, would never look for another one again.

What does this mean? "

"What does it mean?"

Li Chengze analyzed: "This means that either the third brother really dislikes this courtesan.

Or... the third brother knew her identity, and in order to avoid suspicion or cooperate privately, he cut off all contact with her!"

"This...what's the situation with the Third Prince?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze rolled his eyes at Xie Bian.

"If I knew, I wouldn't be analyzing it here!"
