Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Feeling the intimidating aura that instantly erupted from Li Shimin's body, Chu Mo took two steps back involuntarily.

Then he looked at the other party solemnly and said:

"Li Er, I'm not joking with you, Ke'er...he is in trouble."

After saying that, he sighed and lowered his head, with tears involuntarily filling the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Li Shimin also realized that Chu Mo might not be joking, and what the other party said should be true.

He grabbed Chu Mo's arm, stared at Chu Mo and growled:

"You said Ke'er is dead? What on earth is going on? I will hand over Ke'er to you properly, how could it be..."

Chu Mo didn't resist, letting Li Shimin hold his arm, and then shouted to the Hanshan layman at the door:

"Lao Han, you know more about what happened than I do, so tell it yourself."

Li Shimin's mind went blank when he heard Chu Mo mentioning Hanshan layman. He pushed Chu Mo away, turned around and looked at Hanshan layman who was walking slowly and said:

"Aren't you always following Gao Ming? How did you know about Ke'er's death?"

"No, you only found out the truth after you betrayed me and Gao Ming and fled to Lingnan, right?"

While asking, Li Shimin rejected his guess, and finally stared at Master Hanshan fiercely, as if if the other party gave an answer that he was not satisfied with, he would jump directly on him and tear him apart.

Facing the power exuded by the emperor Li Shimin, layman Hanshan, as a great master, naturally had no fear at all.

He glanced at Li Shimin contemptuously, then bowed respectfully to Chu Mo, then turned to Li Shimin and said:

"According to the order of your good son, Li Chengqian, I went to Lingnan with two idiots, Zhou Qing and Ma Ming, and a team of Qianniu Guards to perform a mission."

"The mission of the Qianniu Guards is to instigate conflicts among the people in my lord Chu Mo's fiefdom and create chaos to assassinate Mr. Ke. Our mission is to unite with the shadow guards sent by Chu Xin to kill the two sisters Yang Hongyu in the chaos. Kill."

"Those Thousand Niu Guards are very outstanding and have successfully completed their mission, but our six masters have not been able to get any advantage from the two Miss Yang."

"It's also thanks to the care of two bastards Zhou Qing and Ma Ming that I lost one of my arms. After that, I was beaten up and hunted by your entire Li family."

"I wonder if this answer can satisfy our Emperor?"

Hanshan layman simply told Li Shimin what happened in a frivolous tone.

Li Shimin's first reaction when he heard what Hanshan layman said was: everything the other party said was false. He was worried that he would continue to hunt him down, so he tried every means to make up lies and try to divert trouble to the east.

But my subconscious told me that all this was true.

Not to mention that layman Hanshan, as the head of the dignified enshrinement courtyard, is already inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people. It is impossible for him to betray himself for no reason and go to Chu Mo to become someone else's watchdog.

And there was no need for Chu Mo to go all the way back to Chang'an and deceive himself with such a clumsy lie.

Judging from my understanding of him and the fact that my joke just now caused such a big reaction from the other party, the other party would definitely not deceive me with Ke'er's life.

But if you really want to believe that Li Chengqian was doing this secretly, not only did he send someone to assassinate Li Ke, but he even wanted to kill Yang Hongyu, which Li Shimin couldn't accept no matter what.

He came to power by stepping on his brother's corpse. No one can understand the pain better than him, and no one is more unwilling than him to see the tragedy of brothers killing each other and fratricide happening again.

Just as Li Shimin was trying hard to convince himself, Chu Mo suddenly asked:

"Old Li, when did my family's property become Chu Xin's? In addition, do you know how much property Chu Xin has in Chang'an now? She annexes other people's properties at will, do you not care about it?"

As he said that, he came to the copper pipes he had checked before, picked up a stool next to him and smashed it directly on it.

There was a clang sound, and the copper pipe was smashed by Chu Mo.

Looking at the broken copper pipe, Chu Mo shouted directly:

"Damn it, it turns out this thing is hollow, and it even leads to the downstairs. It must have taken a lot of effort for Chu Xin to make such a strange thing, right?"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Li Shimin was diverted by Chu Mo and immediately stopped worrying about how Li Ke died, whether Li Chengqian sent someone to do it, and whether Hanshan layman was wrongly accused.

All his attention now was on the copper pipe that Chu Mo broke.

He wouldn't think that Chu Mo would be so bored and use some utensils to vent his anger.

When he walked up to Chu Mo and carefully examined the copper pipes, he found that it was as Chu Mo said that they led downstairs.

Moreover, he still remembered that many places he had visited before also had such copper pipes.

I thought it was a recently popular decoration in Chang'an, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Seeing how easily Li Shimin diverted his attention, Chu Mo sighed inwardly:

As expected of an emperor, he could afford to take things and let them go. His son's life was actually no more important than a few broken pipes.

"Old Li, I have told you about Ke'er. Although it is your family matter, Ke'er still calls me uncle. If you don't give him justice, then I will solve it myself."

Chu Mo's words brought Li Shimin, who was about to explore the secrets of copper pipes, back to the topic again.

He looked at Chu Mo, frowned and said:

"Chu Mo, thank you very much for taking care of Ke'er all the time, but he is no longer here now. Even if this was done by Gao Ming, so what?"

"Do you think I would let one son be buried with the other?"

"Or do you think that I will punish my loyal subordinates for a dog slave who betrayed me and joined you?"

Chu Mo was slightly surprised when he heard Li Shimin's words.

Originally, he had thought that after Li Shimin found out about this, even if he would not let Li Chengqian die, he would definitely remove him from his position as prince.

But now it seems that he still underestimated Li Chengqian's position in the other party's heart.

Sighing, Chu Mo nodded:

"In this case, I won't say much more. I will use my own means to seek justice for Ke'er."

"Are you threatening me right now?! Do you believe it or not, if I just say a word, you won't be able to leave this restaurant today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Lizi walked in with two grandmasters from the Enshrinement Institute, protecting Li Shimin in the middle.
