I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty

"Yes!" Zhang Ananda responded right after he opened his mouth, and the ceremony was only halfway through.

Fang Yiyi's excited voice rang out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Li Shimin laughed in silence, shook his head, and after stepping out of the door, he laughed softly:

"This child is still a young man after all!"

The next day.

Imperial City Tai Chi Hall!

Li Shimin looked at the civil and military officials and said angrily:

"Fang Yiyi, the third son of the Fang family and the son of Duke Wei, was attacked by criminals last night. He is now seriously injured and unconscious. His life is in danger!"

"In broad daylight, someone dared to commit a crime outside the city of Chang'an."

"What is the Right Army Guard for?"

When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

Many people looked at Fang Xuanling who was standing in front.

Seeing his face full of anger and worry, and his expression of sorrow, everyone knew that what Your Majesty said was true.

Zhao Yang, the Lieutenant General of the Right Guard and the Guardian of Mingde Gate, walked out quickly with a panicked and ashamed look on his face, saluted Li Shimin and said:

"I have failed in my duty. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Bang!

A memorial was thrown into the hall by Li Shimin.

He roared:

"Punishment? If punishment is useful, what do you want to do with it?"

All the officials were so frightened that they took a step back.

Zhao Yang immediately knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

Chapter 443 How, how could this happen

Li Shimin took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said in a cold voice:

"Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Dali Temple, will lead the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the two counties of Chang'an and Wannian to thoroughly investigate this case. The deadline is seven days."

"If the murderer cannot be found, Dai Zhou will be dismissed from his position as the Dali Temple Minister, and the rest of the people will be demoted two ranks."

"Mingde Gate Guard Zhao Yang is dismissed from his post and ordered to go home and reflect on his actions!"

After saying this, Li Shimin left without waiting for Dai Zhou to speak for him.

Dai Zhou was confused, and the Minister of Justice Li Daozon also twitched his mouth twice.

The magistrates of Chang'an and Wannian counties both opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Zhang Ananda's voice rang out: "Dismiss the court!"

Everyone suddenly woke up from their dream.

Dai Zhou and others shouted: "I obey your orders!"

The others shouted: "Farewell, Your Majesty!"

Wait until Li Shimin's figure disappears behind the Taiji Hall.

The entire court was in an uproar.

"Oh my god, the third son of the Fang family was attacked? Those villains are so bold!"

"Master Dai and his men are so unlucky!"

"The third son of the Fang family is concerned about the country and the people, and he is in the emperor's heart. With such a big thing happening, it's no wonder that His Majesty is so furious!"

"Who would attack Sanlang of the Fang family? How dare they do that!"

......

Amidst the voices of doubt, sigh and lament.

Dai Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead, came to the dazed Zhao Yang, and helped him up.

Looking at the other party's panicked expression, he sighed and said:

"General Zhao, go home and rest."

Zhao Yang's lips were trembling, and his strong body and straight back revealed a sense of loneliness.

"Master Dai, how could this happen?"

"Mingming, everything is fine!"

Dai Zhou didn't say much, he just raised his hand and patted the other person's shoulder.

At this time, Fang Xuanling, who looked depressed, came to Dai Zhou, moved his mouth, and finally just saluted and bowed to Dai Zhou and said:

"Brother Dai, please find the murderer who killed my son!"

Dai Zhou quickly turned aside, not daring to accept the gift, and helped him up, comforting him:

"Brother Fang, there is no need to do this. I will definitely find out the thieves who hurt my nephew."

Dai Zhou's face was full of resentment, and he said this with gritted teeth!

Fang Xuanling sighed, raised his hand and patted Dai Zhou on the shoulder and said:

"Come with me to the Imperial Hospital and ask the princess about what happened last night to see if we can get some clues!"

Dai Zhou said something to Li Daozon who was waiting on the side, then hurriedly followed Fang Xuanling towards the Imperial Hospital in the Imperial City.

After walking into an empty palace passage.

Seeing that there was no one around, Fang Xuanling slowed down his pace and whispered:

"Brother Dai, has His Majesty told you?"

Dai Zhou's expression of difficulty disappeared, and he said calmly:

"Your Majesty summoned me alone last night and explained the whole story."

"I am in charge of this game. Brother Fang is very resourceful. Dai would like to ask Brother Fang to stay behind and help me find out the loopholes and fill in the gaps."

"Let's work together to help His Majesty accomplish this."

Fang Xuanling nodded and said:

"Xuan Ling will certainly do his duty, but if Brother Dai finds out the real culprit, please let me know as soon as possible."

At this point, Fang Xuanling saluted Dai Zhou and said with a twinkling look in his eyes:

"Xuanling, thank you so much!"

This is to vent anger in private!

However, Dai Zhou thought of Fang Xuanling, who had always abided by the law and was fair and selfless, and almost lost his son.

If I remember correctly, two years ago, Sanlang of the Fang family had already encountered an attack.

This is already the second time.

Fang Xuanling's request is reasonable and not excessive.

Chapter 444: Human hearts can never be satisfied!

Dai Zhou and Fang Xuanling served in the same dynasty and had a very close relationship.

Fang Yiyi, the younger generation, also helped him a lot.

As an uncle of the same generation, it was his duty to vent Fang Yiyi's anger in private!

Dai Zhou nodded and said, "There's no need for us to be polite. When we find the real murderer, I'll tell you first. I'll plead for you on His Majesty's side!"

Fang Xuanling saluted again, and this time, Dai Zhou did not avoid it.

The two of them walked forward again and came to the Imperial Hospital.

Dai Zhou looked at Fang Yiyi lying on the bed in a coma and said jokingly with a smile:

"OK, His Majesty has told me, stop pretending, stand up and talk."

Seeing Fang Yiyi motionless, Fang Xuanling spoke:

"Your Majesty has told Lord Dai about this."

"Get up and talk!"

"Yes!" Fang Yiyi suddenly woke up, stood up, saluted and said to Dai Zhou, "Greetings, Master Dai."

Dai Zhou stroked his beard and looked at Fang Yiyi's pale face, puzzled:

"Didn't you say it was just a minor wound? Why is your face so pale? Could it be that you were seriously injured?"

Fang Yiyi smiled and said, "Xiaodaoer, you are seriously injured after all, so you have to disguise your complexion."

"Otherwise, if someone comes to visit and I say he is unconscious but his complexion is rosy, no one will believe it!"

Hahahahaha!

Dai Zhou was stunned for a moment, then he laughed heartily and pointed at Fang Yiyi and said to Fang Xuanling:

"Brother Xuanling, Xingzhi is a sly kid, he doesn't have any of your maturity and steadiness."

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Young man, it's good not to stick to the rules. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to accomplish so many things."

"Yes, sticking to the old rules is a good thing, but it's not good either. The Tang Dynasty needs change!" Dai Zhou sighed.

Then he asked about the business.

Fang Yiyi recounted everything that happened that night, leaving no detail unturned.

After listening to this, Dai Zhou was silent for a long time and then said:

"Brother Xuanling, it seems that there are spies planted in your house!"

Fang Yiyi also had this guess in his mind, but the people in the Duke of Wei's Mansion were all old people who followed Fang Xuanling.

Ever since Fang Xuanling fled from Weibei to join Li Shimin, who was still the King of Qin, there has been no change of person.

Even though Fang Xuanling was promoted all the way and became the Left Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty who is respected by everyone today.

Your Majesty has rewarded a lot of fiefs, and the Duke of Wei's mansion has improved their lives.

The servants in the house also benefited from this and their monthly salaries increased.

But Fang Xuanling did not recruit more servants, and these people remained in his mansion.

They are all old people who have followed Fang Xuanling all the way.

Fang Yiyi had some guesses but didn't want to say them out loud for fear of hurting Fang Xuanling's feelings.

Now that Dai Zhou had broken through this layer, Fang Yiyi looked at his kind-hearted cheap father.

As expected, Fang Xuanling's face turned pale and he pursed his lips.

Two breaths later, Fang Xuanling's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Fang Xuanling was kind-hearted but also very tactful, as he was able to sit firmly in the government and gain the reputation of a wise minister.

Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "Check!"

"I, Fang Xuanling, believe that I have never been harsh on the people in this mansion. If you have a request, as long as it is not excessive, I will help you!"

"There are such ruthless people who want to kill my son. They deserve to be killed!"

Dai Zhou shook his head and said faintly:

“You can never satisfy the human heart!”

"Even if we are brothers, we still..."

Dai Zhou quickly shut up halfway through saying this sentence.
