Datang: At the beginning, Li Er eavesdropped on his heart

Chapter 246
Cui Ping trembled slightly with one hand, and entered Li Chengqian's room in a daze.

"His Royal Highness, you must stop!" He said anxiously.

But it caused Li Chengqian's very disdainful look, and he didn't see the potential danger at all.

"Master Cui, you have been following me for a while, why are you still so restless?"

"Isn't it just that a relative of the servant's family was arrested, so what, does he dare to come to ask for someone from me?"

This……

Cui Ping's face was so ugly that he lost his mind for a while, only knowing that the danger was slowly approaching him.

But now that he and Li Chengqian got on the same boat, it would be very difficult to get them out, and he couldn't help feeling extremely regretful in his heart.

At the court meeting the next day, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty looked serious, as if they were all hiding something in their hearts.

This made Li Shimin doubtful.

"Everyone dear, is it because I have explained too many things on a daily basis that makes you so tired?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately stood up and responded loudly.

"Your Majesty, it is because of the frequent occurrence of strange things in Chang'an City in the past few days, and many people and minor officials under the lord's rule disappeared out of thin air."

disappear?

Li Shimin frowned, he was not confused to be able to sit in the emperor's seat, and he immediately heard that there were other meanings in the words of the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"what is the problem?"

"If such a thing happened at the feet of the emperor, no one of you will investigate it?"

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to deceive you. I checked, but when I got to the Prince's Mansion, I had no clue."

The servant of the Ministry of Industry had piercing eyes, and told his relatives about the disappearance of the seventh-rank official.

Li Shimin frowned, and habitually looked at where Li Chengqian was standing.

"Prince, what is going on, I want to hear your truth."

Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, he must know the truth.

But he saw Li Chengqian laughing loudly.

"The people from the Ministry of Industry came as soon as they opened their mouths, saying that they finally entered the Prince's Mansion. Is there any evidence?"

Li Chengqian's eyes were so persuasive that the minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't answer, even though they had arrested people with great fanfare in Chang'an City in recent days, and there were many witnesses.

But in the end, those missing people could not be found. It was impossible to convict the prince with just one word.

"What the prince said, I admit it. It's just that the sky is shining, and the sky is watching what people are doing!"

Nowadays, there are rumors in the market that there are countless murders in the Prince's Mansion, and it is easy to get in and difficult to get out. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also clear.

Li Chengqian sneered, he couldn't deny it, and then explained to Li Shimin.

"A few days ago, the East Palace was assassinated. Erchen arrested some people, but after asking about the matter, he released them again."

"It's inevitable that something like this is happening now because someone wants to take advantage of it and pour dirty water on me."

Li Shimin frowned, it was difficult to make a decision for a while, so he could only retreat first.

In the imperial garden, Empress Changsun came hurriedly, taking small steps.

"Your Majesty, the people I sent out have brought back the news. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry reported, everyone in Chang'an City is in danger these days."

"It's said that the prince will arrest the person again, but there will be no news after the person enters the prince's mansion."

Ok?
Li Shimin never expected that this was really the case, but he was immediately caught in a dilemma.

"He is the crown prince, and people never come out of his prince's mansion after entering, but I can't send people in to search wantonly."

"Otherwise, people in the world know about it but don't know how to arrange it, father and son are not in harmony, doubt the son, and say anything."

Li Shimin frowned tightly, he cared too much about the thoughts of the people, he could not change it in the first half of his life, but in the end, if there were some things that people criticized, it would be cruelty in the history books.

"That's right, even if the prince is really wrong, we can't investigate without real evidence. After all, the prince is the prince, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty." Empress Changsun knew what Li Shimin was thinking, so she said in a pretext.

At the end, Li Shimin's eyes lit up.

"Let the empress investigate thoroughly first, and it must be done secretly, so that the prince should not be aware of it."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards his bedroom with his hands behind his back. It was really exhausting for such a thing to happen.

Time passed, and the whole day passed like this, and Li Shimin was lying on the couch to rest.

Empress Changsun came in with a heavy expression on her face.

"Your Majesty, nothing was found, and the East Palace did not see any abnormalities."

"Thank you, Empress, come and sit beside me."

Li Shimin had a smile on his face, he had expected such a result a long time ago, and he didn't think much of it.

After all, if this matter really had something to do with the prince, the scene above the court would have already alarmed the snake, how could it not be restrained.

"Use extraordinary people for extraordinary things." Finally, he expressed his thoughts this afternoon.

Empress Changsun was stunned, and then thought of someone.

"It's King Liang." Li Shimin nodded.

It is said that the husband and wife are of the same mind, but they didn't say anything thoroughly, so Li Yin came over after a while.

In the Taiji Hall, there are only two people, Li Min and Li Shimin, each with their own concerns.

"In the past few days, you should know all the rumors in the market."

"Help me thoroughly investigate and see where these people have gone."

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

The corners of Li Yin's mouth curled up, the moment he had been waiting for finally arrived, he had thought for a long time that Li Chengqian's tossing would make things big, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Having the opportunity to investigate Li Chengqian openly, Li Yin was very happy.

"My son obeys the order."

only……

Li Yin's face was heavy, as if there was something embarrassing, the three-day deadline he set in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty was approaching.

If Li Ke is really killed at that time, the knot in Li Yin's heart will never be untied for the rest of his life.

"Father, can you give me a little more time so that I don't have to be distracted."

Li Shimin agreed without thinking.

"I'll give you five days to get an idea of ​​the two things, otherwise I won't forgive you."

Li Yin chuckled and was very satisfied in his heart, so he accepted the decree and thanked him.

To him, five days is not much more. After knowing the inside story of why Li Chengqian was arrested, it is not easy to find the missing person.

So he lived in the palace on the pretext of taking care of Concubine Yang. Li Yin was not idle for a moment, and immediately began to investigate.

Passing by the East Palace, the maids were in a hurry, Li Min raised his mouth and went over to stop a few.

"You guys are so flustered, can there be evil spirits in the East Palace?"

A few court ladies wanted to cry but had no tears, so they knelt down for Li Yin.

"His Royal Highness King Liang, you don't know, but the few of us watched the guards of the Eastern Palace arrest people in with our own eyes."

Never seen it again?
After hearing this, Li Yin knew that most of those people were hidden in the prince's mansion after death, but so many people would have accidents, Li Yin couldn't help but gasped.
